Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the nine months ended 30 September 2021 to the corresponding nine months of 2020 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 September 2021 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2020 and 30 September 2020. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; and the abbreviations ‘€m’ and ‘€bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.
There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.
Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the results glossary, attached hereto.
The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 20 October 2021, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, which contained an unmodified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.
Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal road-shows and other ad hoc meetings. Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Group.

Non-IFRS performance measures

Barclays management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses’ performance between financial periods and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 41 to 46 for further information and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
Key non-IFRS measures included in this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures, are:
– Average allocated equity represents the average shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 44 to 45;
– Average allocated tangible equity is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end allocated tangible equity and the current month’s period end allocated tangible equity. The average allocated tangible equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period. Period end allocated tangible equity is calculated as 13.5% (2020: 13.0%) of RWAs for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Group’s tangible shareholders’ equity and the amounts allocated to businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 44 to 45;
– Average tangible shareholders’ equity is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end tangible equity and the current month’s period end tangible equity. The average tangible shareholders’ equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 44 to 45;
– Return on average allocated equity represents the return on shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 46;
– Return on average allocated tangible equity is calculated as the annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, as a proportion of average allocated tangible equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 46;
– Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity is calculated as the annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, as a proportion of average shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests and other

Notes
equity instruments adjusted for the deduction of intangible assets and goodwill. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 46; and
– Tangible net asset value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments, less goodwill and intangible assets, by the number of issued ordinary shares. The comparable IFRS measure is net asset value per share. A reconciliation is provided on page 46.

Forward-looking statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. The forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under IFRS, including evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, the Group’s ability along with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; direct and indirect impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; instability as a result of the UK’s exit from the European Union (“EU”), the effects of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and globally; the risk of cyber-attacks, information or security breaches or technology failures on the Group’s reputation, business or operations; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual financial position, future results, capital distributions, capital, leverage or other regulatory ratios or other financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements.

Group Performance Review

Group performance1
The Group’s diversified business model enabled Barclays to deliver a record profit before tax of £6,940m (Q320 YTD: £2,419m), RoE of 12.7% (Q3 YTD: 3.1%), RoTE of 14.9% (Q320 YTD: 3.6%) and EPS of 30.8p (Q320 YTD: 7.6p)
Total income was stable at £16,780m (Q320 YTD: £16,825m). Barclays UK income increased 2%. Barclays International income decreased 2%, with CIB income down 1% and Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) income down 6%. Excluding the impact of the 9% depreciation of average USD against GBP, total income was up, reflecting the Group’s diversified income streams
Credit impairment net release of £622m (Q320 YTD: £4,346m charge). The net release included a reversal of £1.1bn in non-default charges, primarily reflecting the improved macroeconomic outlook. Excluding this reversal, the charge was £0.5bn, reflecting reduced unsecured lending balances and low delinquency. Management judgements have been maintained in the quarter in respect of customers and clients considered to be potentially more vulnerable as government and other support schemes have started to reduce. The reduction in unsecured lending balances and growth in secured balances have contributed to a decrease in the Group’s loan coverage ratio to 1.7% (December 2020: 2.4%). Loan coverage ratios in unsecured and wholesale loan portfolios remained elevated compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels
Total operating expenses increased 6% to £10,709m, due to structural cost actions of £392m primarily relating to the real estate review in Q221, higher performance costs that reflect improved returns, and continued investment and business growth, partially offset by the benefit from the depreciation of average USD against GBP and efficiency savings. This resulted in a cost: income ratio of 64% (Q320 YTD: 60%)
The effective tax rate was 15.5% (Q320 YTD: 18.2%). This reflects a £402m tax benefit recognised for the re-measurement of the Group’s UK deferred tax assets (DTAs) as a result of the UK corporation tax rate increase from 19% to 25% effective from 1 April 2023. The UK Government is reviewing the additional 8% surcharge tax that applies to banks’ profits and if the conclusion of that review is that the surcharge is reduced then the Group’s UK DTAs would be re-measured again and decreased, the exact timing of an enactment of a reduction in the surcharge is uncertain but would be expected to occur in H122
Attributable profit was £5,258m (Q320 YTD: £1,306m)
Following the completion of the £700m share buyback announced with FY20 results and the ongoing £500m share buyback announced with H121 results, the period end number of shares was 16,851m (December 2020: 17,359m)
Total assets increased to £1,407bn (December 2020: £1,350bn) primarily due to a £37bn increase in cash at central banks, a £29bn increase in financial assets at fair value due to an increase in secured lending, a £18bn increase in cash collateral and settlement balances and a £17bn increase in trading portfolio assets due to increased activity, partially offset by a £44bn decrease in derivative assets driven by an increase in major interest rate curves
Deposits at amortised cost increased £29bn to £510bn further strengthening the Group’s liquidity position and contributing to a loan: deposit ratio of 69% (December 2020: 71%)
Net asset value per share increased to 335p. Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share increased to 287p (December 2020: 269p) primarily reflecting 30.8p of EPS, partially offset by negative reserve movements
Barclays UK
Profit before tax increased to £1,957m (Q320 YTD: £264m). RoE was 13.2% (Q320 YTD: 1.6%) and RoTE was 17.9% (Q320 YTD: 2.2%) reflecting materially lower credit impairment charges
Total income increased 2% to £4,837m. Net interest income reduced 1% to £3,889m with a net interest margin (NIM) of 2.53% (Q320 YTD: 2.63%) as strong customer retention and improved margins in mortgages was more than offset by lower unsecured lending balances. Net fee, commission and other income increased 18% to £948m, returning back towards pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels
Personal Banking income increased 10% to £2,900m, reflecting strong growth in mortgages alongside improved margins, balance growth in deposits and the non-recurrence of COVID-19 customer support actions, partially offset by deposit margin compression from lower interest rates and lower unsecured lending balances
Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 23% to £898m as reduced borrowing and repayments by customers resulted in a lower level of interest earning lending (IEL) balances
Business Banking income increased 12% to £1,039m due to lending and deposit balance growth from £12.1bn of government scheme lending and the non-recurrence of COVID-19 and related customer support actions, partially offset by deposit margin compression from lower interest rates
1The 9% depreciation of average USD against GBP adversely impacted income and profits and positively impacted total operating expenses.

Group Performance Review
Barclays UK (continued)
Credit impairment net release of £306m (Q320 YTD: £1,297m charge) driven by an improved macroeconomic outlook and lower unsecured lending balances due to customer repayments and lower delinquencies. As at 30 September 2021, 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK cards were 1.0% (Q320: 1.7%) and 0.3% (Q320: 0.8%) respectively
Total operating expenses were stable at £3,187m (Q320 YTD: £3,172m) reflecting investment spend and higher operational and customer service costs primarily driven by increased volumes, offset by efficiency savings
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased 2% to £208.6bn predominantly from £9.2bn of mortgage growth following a strong flow of new applications as well as strong customer retention, offset by a £2.3bn decrease in the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority (ESHLA) portfolio carrying value as interest rate yield curves have steepened, £1.7bn lower unsecured lending balances and £0.5bn lower Business Banking balances as repayment of government scheme lending takes effect
Customer deposits at amortised cost increased 7% to £256.8bn reflecting an increase of £13.6bn and £2.8bn in Personal Banking and Business Banking respectively, further strengthening the liquidity position and contributing to a loan: deposit ratio of 86% (December 2020: 89%)
RWAs decreased to £73.2bn (December 2020: £73.7bn) as growth in mortgages was more than offset by a reduction in unsecured lending and the ESHLA portfolio


Barclays International
Profit before tax increased 97% to £5,500m with a RoE of 16.1% (Q320 YTD: 7.3%), reflecting a RoE of 16.4% (Q320 YTD: 10.5%) in CIB and 13.9% (Q320 YTD: (9.3)%) in CC&P and a RoTE of 16.4% (Q320 YTD: 7.5%), reflecting a RoTE of 16.4% (Q320 YTD: 10.5%) in CIB and 16.2% (Q320 YTD: (10.6)%) in CC&P
The 9% depreciation of average USD against GBP adversely impacted income and profits and positively impacted total operating expenses
Total income decreased to £12,155m (Q320 YTD: £12,435m)
CIB income decreased 1% to £9,702m
Global Markets income decreased 14% to £5,368m as a strong performance in Equities, representing the best Q3 YTD on a comparable basis1, was more than offset by FICC. Equities income increased 28% to £2,466m driven by strong client activity in derivatives and increased client balances in financing. FICC income decreased 33% to £2,902m due to tighter spreads and the non-recurrence of prior year client activity levels
Investment Banking fees income, representing the best Q3 YTD on a comparable basis1, increased 37% to £2,703m driven by a strong performance in Advisory and Equity capital markets reflecting an increase in the fee pool and an increased market share2
Within Corporate, Transaction banking income increased 1% to £1,219m as deposit balance growth was partially offset by margin compression. Corporate lending income increased 2% to £412m driven by the non-recurrence of losses on the mark-to-market of lending and related hedge positions, partially offset by a current year write-off on a single name
CC&P income decreased 6% to £2,453m
International Cards and Consumer Bank income decreased 17% to £1,540m reflecting lower cards balances
Private Bank income increased 9% to £581m, reflecting client balance growth and a gain on a property sale
Unified Payments income increased 60% to £332m driven by the non-recurrence of a c.£100m valuation loss on Barclays’ preference shares in Visa Inc. in Q220 and merchant acquiring turnover growth following easing of lockdown restrictions
Credit impairment net release of £311m (Q320 YTD: £2,989m charge) was driven by an improved macroeconomic outlook
CIB credit impairment net release of £400m (Q320 YTD: £1,507m charge) was supported by limited single name wholesale loan charges
CC&P credit impairment charges of £89m (Q320 YTD: £1,482m) was partially driven by lower delinquencies and higher customer repayments. As at 30 September 2021, 30 and 90 day arrears in US cards were 1.5% (Q320: 2.3%) and 0.7% (Q320: 1.1%) respectively
Total operating expenses increased 5% to £7,003m
CIB total operating expenses increased 3% to £5,260m due to higher performance costs that reflect an improvement in returns
CC&P total operating expenses increased 10% to £1,743m driven by the impact of higher investment spend, including marketing, and customer remediation costs related to a legacy portfolio

Group Performance Review
Barclays International (continued)
Total assets increased to £1,076bn (December 2020: £1,042bn) primarily due to a £30bn increase in financial assets at fair value, due to an increase in secured lending, a £18bn increase in cash collateral and settlements balances, and a £17bn increase in trading portfolio assets, due to increased activity, partially offset by a £45bn decrease in derivative assets driven by an increase in major interest rate curves
RWAs increased to £222.7bn (December 2020: £222.3bn)



Head Office
Loss before tax was £517m (Q320 YTD: £639m)
Total income was an expense of £212m (Q320 YTD: £331m), which primarily reflected hedge accounting, funding costs on legacy capital instruments and treasury items, partially offset by mark-to-market gains on legacy investments and the recognition of dividends on Barclays’ stake in Absa Group Limited
Total operating expenses were £519m (Q320 YTD: £217m), which included a charge of £266m relating to structural cost actions taken as part of the real estate review in Q221, as well as costs associated with the discontinued use of software assets
Other net income was £209m (Q320 YTD: £31m expense) driven by a fair value gain in Barclays’ associate investment holding in the Business Growth Fund
Group capital and leverage
The CET1 ratio increased to 15.4% (December 2020: 15.1%)
CET1 capital increased by £1.0bn to £47.3bn (December 2020: £46.3bn) as profit before tax of £6.9bn was partially offset by the removal of temporary regulatory supporting measures introduced in 2020, share buybacks, dividends and equity coupons paid and foreseen and pensions deficit contribution payments. The £1.1bn release of non-defaulted credit impairment was more than offset by the related reduction in IFRS 9 transitional relief which also decreased due to impairment migrations from Stage 2 to Stage 3 and the relief on the pre-2020 impairment charge reducing from 70% to 50% in 2021
RWAs increased £1.3bn to £307.5bn (December 2020: £306.2bn) primarily due to a growth in mortgages within Barclays UK, partially offset by lower consumer lending
The average UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2020: 5.0%). The average leverage exposure increased by £52.9bn to £1,199.8bn (December 2020: £1,146.9bn) largely driven by an increase in securities financing transactions (SFTs), potential future exposure (PFE) on derivatives and trading portfolio assets (TPAs)
Group funding and liquidity
The liquidity pool was £293bn (December 2020: £266bn) and the liquidity coverage ratio remained significantly above the 100% regulatory requirement at 161% (December 2020: 162%), equivalent to a surplus of £107bn (December 2020: £99bn). The increase in the pool is driven by deposit growth, borrowing from the Bank of England’s Term Funding Scheme with additional incentives for SMEs and a seasonal increase in short-term wholesale funding, which were partly offset by an increase in business funding consumption
Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £165.2bn (December 2020: £145.0bn). The Group issued £8.2bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) during the year. The Group is well advanced in its MREL issuance plans relative to the estimated 1 January 2022 requirement

Capital distributions
Barclays understands the importance of delivering attractive total cash returns to shareholders. Barclays is therefore committed to maintaining an appropriate balance between total cash returns to shareholders, investment in the business and maintaining a strong capital position. Barclays pays a progressive ordinary dividend, taking into account these objectives and the earnings outlook of the Group. The Board will also continue to supplement the ordinary dividends with additional cash returns, including share buybacks, to shareholders as appropriate
Barclays paid a half year dividend of 2.0p per share on 17 September 2021 and initiated the share buyback of up to £500m announced with H121 results in August 2021, of which £279m was completed as at 30 September 2021. This was in addition to the £700m share buyback completed in April 2021
Dividends will continue to be paid semi-annually, with the half year dividend expected to represent, under normal circumstances, around one-third of the total dividend for the year

Group Performance Review
Group outlook and targets
Returns: expect to deliver a RoTE above 10% in 2021
Impairment: the impairment run rate is expected to remain below historical levels in coming quarters given reduced unsecured lending balances and the improved macroeconomic outlook, acknowledging the continuing uncertainty
Costs: FY21 costs, excluding structural cost actions and performance costs, are expected to be c.£12bn1. The Group will continue to drive efficiencies in its franchises and is evaluating planned structural cost actions in Q421, including in Barclays UK
Capital: the CET1 ratio is expected to remain above the target range of 13-14% at 31 December 2021, given the uncertain economic environment and known capital headwinds in 2022 of c.75bps, which includes a c.40bps impact from the reversal of software amortisation benefit from 1 January 2022

1Barclays International margins include IEL balances within the investment banking business.
2Barclays amended the presentation of the premium paid for purchased financial guarantees which are embedded in notes it issues directly to the market in Q420 from net investment income to interest expense within net interest income. Had the equivalent Q320 YTD interest expense been recognised in net interest income, the Barclays International and Total Barclays UK and Barclays International NIMs would have been 3.60% and 2.95% respectively.
3Other includes Head Office and non-lending related investment banking businesses not included in Barclays International margins.
The Group’s combined product and equity structural hedge notional as at 30 September 2021 was £224bn (September 2020: £181bn), with an average duration of close to 3 years (2020: average duration 2.5 to 3 years). Group net interest income includes gross structural hedge contributions of £1,042m (Q320 YTD: £1,273m) and net structural hedge contributions of £889m (Q320 YTD: £917m). Gross structural hedge contributions represent the absolute level of interest earned from the fixed receipts on the basket of swaps in the structural hedge, while the net structural hedge contributions represent the net interest earned on the difference between the structural hedge rate and prevailing floating rates.

2The reclassification of expense of the premium paid for purchased financial guarantees from net investment income to net interest income was recognised in full in Q420 and resulted in a 0.48% reduction on the Q420 Barclays International NIM and 0.14% reduction on the Q420 Total Barclays UK and Barclays International NIM. Had the equivalent impact been reflected in the respective quarters, the Barclays International NIM would have been 3.68% in Q320 and 3.77% in Q420.

Loans and advances at amortised cost by stage
The table below presents an analysis of loans and advances at amortised cost by gross exposure, impairment allowance, impairment charge and coverage ratio by stage allocation and business segment as at 30 September 2021. Also included are off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by gross exposure, impairment allowance and coverage ratio by stage allocation as at 30 September 2021.
Impairment allowance under IFRS 9 considers both the drawn and the undrawn counterparty exposure. For retail portfolios, the total impairment allowance is allocated to the drawn exposure to the extent that the allowance does not exceed the exposure, as Expected Credit Losses (ECL) is not reported separately. Any excess is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision. For wholesale portfolios, the impairment allowance on the undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

Credit Risk
Measurement uncertainty
Forecast Macroeconomic Variables were refreshed in Q321, following on from the Q221 update, with key drivers for the Baseline scenario more optimistic than Q420 and Q221. In the Baseline scenario, UK GDP returns to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels by early 2022 with peak UK unemployment of 5.4% in Q122. In the Upside 2 scenario, effective fiscal stimulus measures, including public investments in infrastructure and skills, provide a boost to demand and confidence, which in turn leads to economic activity in almost all advanced economies returning to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels by the end of 2021. Unemployment levels decline back to 5% by Q122 in the UK, and to 4% by Q222 in the US. In the Downside 2 scenario, supply and distribution issues slow the vaccination process and the emergence of new virus variants that are not susceptible to the existing vaccines results in full national lockdowns. This leads to significant falls in GDP in Q421 and UK and US unemployment reaching c.10% and 12% respectively in Q122.
The Group uses a five-scenario model to calculate ECL. The methodology for estimating probability weights used in calculating ECL involves simulating a range of future paths for UK and US GDP using historical data. The five scenarios are mapped against the distribution of these future paths, with the median centred around the Baseline such that scenarios further from the Baseline attract a lower weighting. The range of future paths generated in the calculation of the weights at 30 September 2021 is narrower than at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 due to continued growth in UK and US GDP and lower levels of uncertainty. The Upside 2 and Downside 2 scenarios are therefore nearer the tails of the distribution than previously resulting in lower weightings.
In isolation, the reduction in Baseline unemployment forecast between Q2 and Q3 would lead to a reduction in unsecured ECL. However, the reduction in Downside 2 unemployment forecast between Q2 and Q3 is lower than the movement in the Baseline unemployment forecast; this widening delta between Baseline and Downside 2 unemployment forecast moderates the overall impact.
Although the macroeconomic outlook has improved, the level of uncertainty is relatively high. Unemployment remains at elevated levels, with a significant number of jobs at risk of redundancy as measures of support are tapered down in the UK, US and Germany between the end of Q321 and Q122 respectively. To date, limited defaults have been observed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but credit deterioration may occur as support is withdrawn. This uncertainty continues to be captured in two distinct ways: firstly, the identification of specific customers and clients who may be more vulnerable to the withdrawal of relief and secondly, macroeconomic and risk parameter uncertainties which are applied at a portfolio level. As a result, economic uncertainty PMAs and total PMAs remained relatively stable at £2.0bn (30 June 2021: £2.1bn) and £2.0bn (30 June 2021: £1.9bn) respectively.
The tables below show the key consensus macroeconomic variables used in the Baseline scenario and the probability weights applied to each scenario.

Capital
The Group’s Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 is 11.2% comprising a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.7% Pillar 2A requirement and a 0% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).
The Group’s CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group has exposures. On 11 March 2020, the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) set the CCyB rate for UK exposures at 0% with immediate effect. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material. Overall, this results in a 0.0% CCyB for the Group.
The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Requirement is 4.8% of which at least 56.25% needs to be met with CET1 capital, equating to approximately 2.7% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review and has been set as a nominal capital amount. This is based on a point in time assessment and the requirement (when expressed as a proportion of RWAs) will change depending on the total RWAs at each reporting period. 
Following the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, any references to CRR as amended by CRR II mean, unless otherwise specified, CRR as amended by CRR II, as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and subject to the temporary transitional powers (TTP) available to UK regulators to delay or phase-in on-shoring changes to UK regulatory requirements arising at the end of the transition period until 31 March 2022, as at the applicable reporting date. Throughout the TTP period, the Bank of England (BoE) and PRA will continue to review the UK regulatory framework and the Group disclosures will reflect the amended framework as applicable at the effective reporting date.
On 14 October 2021, the PRA published their final Policy Statement on the implementation of Basel III standards. The Policy Statement confirmed the PRA’s intention to revert to the previous treatment of 100% CET1 capital deduction for qualifying software assets, meaning the c.40bps benefit in the CET1 ratio will be reversed from 1 January 2022.

CET1 capital increased £1.0bn to £47.3bn (December 2020: £46.3bn). £5.8bn of capital generated from profits were partially offset by distributions of £2.6bn comprising:
£0.8bn of dividends paid and foreseen for ordinary shares, which includes £0.3bn for the 2.0p per share half year dividend and a £0.4bn accrual towards a FY21 dividend
£1.2bn for share buybacks made up of £0.7bn for the share buyback announced with FY20 results and £0.5bn for the share buyback announced with H121 results; and
£0.6bn of equity coupons paid
Other significant movements in the period were:

A £0.7bn decrease as a result of movements relating to pensions, largely due to deficit contribution payments of £0.35bn in April 2021 and September 2021
A £0.3bn increase in the PVA deduction due to the removal of temporary regulatory supporting measures applied to certain additional valuation adjustments
A £1.2bn decrease in IFRS 9 transitional relief, after tax, primarily due to a credit impairment net release, impairment migrations from Stage 2 to Stage 3 and a decrease to the amount of relief applied to the pre-2020 impairment charge reducing to 50% in 2021 from 70% in 2020

Credit risk RWAs remained broadly stable:
A £1.9bn increase in book size mainly driven by growth in mortgages within Barclays UK, partially offset by lower consumer lending and ESHLA
A £1.0bn decrease in acquisitions and disposals mainly driven by disposal of wholesale loans during the year
Counterparty Credit risk RWAs increased £4.3bn:
A £3.9bn increase in book size primarily due to an increase in trading activities within SFTs and derivatives
Market risk RWAs decreased £3.1bn:
A £1.8bn decrease in book size primarily due to reduced risk taking in Equities and Counterparty Risk Trading in the period
A £1.3bn decrease in methodology and policy is driven by a change in the historical lookback period of the VaR model from two years to one year

Leverage ratio and exposures
The Group is subject to a leverage ratio requirement of 3.8% as at 30 September 2021. This comprises the 3.25% minimum requirement, a G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.53% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer of 0.0%. Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of T1 capital, 75% of the minimum requirement, equating to 2.4375%, needs to be met with CET1 capital. In addition, the G-SII ALRB must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.53% G-SII ALRB was £6.3bn.
The Group is required to disclose an average UK leverage ratio which is based on capital on the last day of each month in the quarter and an exposure measure for each day in the quarter. The Group is also required to disclose a UK leverage ratio based on capital and exposure on the last day of the quarter. Both approaches exclude qualifying claims on central banks from the leverage exposures and include the PRA’s adoption of CRR II settlement netting.
On 8 October 2021, the PRA published its Policy Statement on the UK leverage ratio framework. The Policy Statement confirms that UK banks will be subject to a single UK leverage ratio requirement meaning that the CRR leverage ratio will no longer apply for UK banks from 1 January 2022. Whilst largely upholding the existing framework, technical changes generally align to the Basel III standards with the exception of the qualifying claims on central banks exemption. From 1 January 2022 central bank claims can be excluded from the UK leverage ratio measure as long as they are matched by qualifying liabilities (rather than deposits). Minimum requirements for the Group remain the same with minimum requirements also expected to be applied at the individual level; individual requirements may be replaced with a sub-consolidated measure, subject to permission from the PRA, from 1 January 2023.

The average UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2020: 5.0%). The average leverage exposure increased by £52.9bn to £1,199.8bn (December 2020: £1,146.9bn) largely driven by an increase in SFTs, PFE on derivatives and TPAs.
 
The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% (December 2020: 5.3%). The UK leverage exposure increased by £70.1bn to £1,161.0bn (December 2020: £1,090.9bn) primarily driven by a £26.9bn increase in SFTs, a £26.5bn increase in PFE on derivatives and a £17.0bn increase in TPAs due to increased trading activity in CIB.

The Group also discloses a CRR leverage ratio1 within its additional regulatory disclosures prepared in accordance with EBA guidelines on disclosure under Part Eight of the CRR (see Barclays PLC Pillar 3 Report Q3 2021, expected to be published on 21 October 2021 and which will be available at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results).

MREL
The Group is currently required to meet the higher of: (i) the requirements set by the BoE based on RWAs and the higher of average and UK leverage exposures; and (ii) the requirements in CRR as amended by CRR II based on RWAs and CRR leverage exposures. The MREL requirements are subject to phased implementation and will be fully implemented by 1 January 2022. As at 30 September 2021, the Group’s MREL requirement was to meet 6.9% of CRR leverage exposures.
On 22 July 2021 the BoE published a consultation paper on its approach to setting MREL. Under the proposed changes to their 2018 Statement of Policy, from 1 January 2022, the Group’s expected MREL requirements will be to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of Pillar 1 and Pillar 2A; and (ii) the higher of two times the applicable leverage ratio requirement or 6.75% of leverage exposures. Given UK banks will be subject to a single UK leverage ratio requirement from 1 January 2022, the CRR leverage exposure requirements in relation to MREL may not apply from that date. Additionally, the proposals clarify that own funds instruments issued by subsidiaries will no longer be eligible to count towards the Group’s MREL from 1 January 2022.
CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the capital buffers, meaning that the buffers will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group’s management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses’ performance between financial periods, and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by management.
However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well.
