Profit at Lloyds Banking Group has fallen by more than 50% in the first six months of the year compared with the same period in 2013.
Pre-tax profit fell to £863m after a £1.1bn charge for "legacy issues".
These included £600m set aside for mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance and £226m to cover a Libor rate-rigging settlement.
However, Lloyds said it would go ahead with plans to restart dividend payments to shareholders.
"We substantially improved our underlying financial performance and delivered a statutory profit, despite further charges for legacy issues,' said Antonio Horta-Osorio, chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group.
The group made an underlying profit of £3.8bn. However, it was hit by charges relating to "legacy issues", including PPI mis-selling and a fine for rate manipulation.
Fines and compensation
The bank's total bill for mis-sold PPI now stands at more than £10bn, after it set aside an extra £600m to compensate customers.
Lloyd's also set aside £226m to cover a fine for rate-rigging.
On Monday, US and UK financial authorities fined Lloyds £218m for "serious misconduct" over some of the key interest rates set in London.
