Barclays PLC 1

Notes

The terms Barclays or Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the three months ended 31 March 2022 to the corresponding three months of 2021 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 March 2022 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2021 and 31 March 2021. 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 27 April 2022, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021, 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 34 to 38 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 35 to 38;

– 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% (2021: 13.5%) 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 35 to 38;

– 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 35 to 38;

– 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 pages 35 to 38;

– 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 35 to 38;

– 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 equity instruments adjusted for the deduction of intangible assets and goodwill. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35 to 38; and

Barclays PLC 2

Notes

– 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 38.

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. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by members of the management of the Group (including, without limitation, during management presentations to financial analysts) in connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets (including, without limitation, environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and targets), estimates of capital expenditures, plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS impacts and other statements that are not historical fact. 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 a number of factors, including, without limitation: 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, emerging and developing ESG reporting 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, environmental, social and 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; the direct and indirect consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; 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 or ability to meet commitments and targets may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC’s filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2021), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to Barclays’ obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the UK and the US), in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Performance Highlights

Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £2.2bn including £0.5bn of litigation and conduct charges, a return on equity (RoE) of 9.9% and a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 11.5%

Q122	£6.5bn	63%	£2.2bn	9.9%	11.5%	8.4p	13.8%	342p	294p

Q122 performance1:

•Attributable profit was £1.4bn (Q121: £1.7bn) including litigation and conduct charges net of tax of £0.4bn

•Group income was £6.5bn (Q121: £5.9bn) up 10% year-on-year

–Strong CIB income: strong FICC and Equities performance with higher levels of activity as we supported our clients through a period of market volatility, more than offsetting weaker Investment Banking fees driven by a reduced fee pool2

–Consumer and payments businesses recovering: robust UK mortgage lending, positive trends in UK and US consumer spending and payments volumes, and tailwind from rising rates

•Costs impacted by litigation and conduct charges: total operating expenses of £4.1bn (Q121: £3.6bn) included litigation and conduct charges of £0.5bn relating to the over-issuance of securities by Barclays Bank PLC in the US and customer remediation costs relating to a legacy loan portfolio

–Group costs excluding litigation and conduct were £3.6bn, up 1% year-on-year

•Credit impairment charges: £0.1bn charge (Q121: £0.1bn) driven by low delinquencies and a benign credit environment, with unsecured lending provision levels remaining appropriate in light of inflationary headwinds

•Capital: CET1 ratio of 13.8% (December 2021: 15.1%), a net asset value (NAV) per share of 342p (December 2021: 339p) and tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share of 294p (December 2021: 291p)

Outlook:

•Returns: Barclays continues to target a RoTE of greater than 10% in 2022

•Income: Barclays’ diversified income streams position the Group well for the current economic and market environment and rising interest rates

•Costs: given £0.5bn of litigation and conduct charges in Q122 and current expectations for inflation and performance costs, Barclays now expects FY22 total operating expenses to be around £15.0bn3

•Impairment: acknowledging geopolitical uncertainty and cost of living pressures, the impairment charge is expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels in coming quarters given reduced unsecured lending balances and appropriate coverage ratios

•Capital: Barclays continues to target a CET1 ratio within the range of 13-14%

•Capital returns: Barclays' capital distribution policy incorporates a progressive ordinary dividend, supplemented as appropriate, including with share buybacks. Barclays remains committed to the share buyback programme and the intention would be to launch it as soon as practicable following resolution of filing requirements being reached with the SEC and the appropriate 20-F filings having been made. See Supplementary Information on pages 30 to 31 for further details

Group Finance Director's Review

Over-issuance of US securities under the Barclays Bank PLC US Shelf: Barclays has a provision of £540m at Q122 relating to this matter, £320m (post-tax impact of £240m) of which was recognised in Q122 and £220m (post-tax impact of £170m) recognised in 2021, see Basis of preparation on page 31 for further details.

Group performance

•Barclays' diversified model delivered a profit before tax of £2,234m (Q121: £2,399m), RoE of 9.9% (Q121: 12.5%), RoTE of 11.5% (Q121: 14.7%), and earnings per share (EPS) of 8.4p (Q121: 9.9p)

•Total income increased to £6,496m (Q121: £5,900m). Barclays UK income increased 5%. Barclays International income increased 10%, with CIB income up 10% and Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) income up 10%

•Credit impairment charges of £141m (Q121: £55m) were driven by ongoing flows to delinquency in unsecured lending. Coverage levels remained materially in line with Q421 and were considered appropriate having been assessed against rising inflation and affordability headwinds

•Total operating expenses increased to £4,111m (Q121: £3,578m) due to litigation and conduct charges of £523m including a provision in CIB of £320m (post-tax impact of £240m) relating to the over-issuance of securities by Barclays Bank PLC in the US and higher customer remediation costs relating to a legacy loan portfolio in CC&P. This resulted in a cost: income ratio of 63% (Q121: 61%). Costs excluding litigation and conduct increased 1% to £3,588m, reflecting continued investment and business growth, partially offset by lower performance costs and efficiency savings

•The effective tax rate (ETR) was 27.5% (Q121: 20.7%). The tax charge included a £346m charge recognised for the re-measurement of the Group’s UK deferred tax assets (DTAs) due to the enactment of legislation in Q122 which will result in the UK banking surcharge rate being reduced from 8% to 3% effective from 1 April 2023 (the ETR excluding the impact of this downward re-measurement of UK DTAs was 12.0%). Tax credits relating to adjustments in respect of prior years partially offset the impact of the downward UK DTA re-measurement

•Attributable profit was £1,404m (Q121: £1,704m) including litigation and conduct charges net of tax of £405m

•Total assets increased to £1,496bn (December 2021: £1,384bn) primarily due to an increase in client and trading activity, and growth in the liquidity pool

•NAV per share increased to 342p (December 2021: 339p) and TNAV per share increased to 294p (December 2021: 291p1) primarily reflecting 8.4p of EPS, partially offset by net negative reserve movements driven by higher interest rates

Barclays UK

•Profit before tax increased to £594m (Q121: £460m). RoE was 11.6% (Q121: 8.8%) and RoTE was 15.6% (Q121: 12.0%) reflecting the resilience of the business which is well positioned within the current UK operating environment

•Total income increased 5% to £1,649m. Net interest income increased 5% to £1,339m with a net interest margin of 2.62% (Q121: 2.54%) primarily driven by the rising interest rate environment in the UK. Net fee, commission and other income increased 5% to £310m

–Personal Banking income increased 11% to £1,022m, driven by rising interest rates and supported by the benefit of strong 2021 mortgage origination

–Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 12% to £276m as higher transaction based revenues from improved customer spend volumes were more than offset by lower interest earning lending (IEL) balances. Lower IEL balances were impacted by higher customer repayments and reduced borrowing

–Business Banking income increased 4% to £351m driven by rising interest rates alongside improved transaction based revenues, partially offset by lower government scheme lending income as repayments continue

•Credit impairment charges decreased 38% to £48m reflecting lower unsecured lending balances and lower delinquency rates. As at 31 March 2022, 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK cards were 1.0% (Q121: 1.6%) and 0.3% (Q121: 0.8%) respectively. The credit card and consumer loan businesses maintain appropriate provision levels in light of emerging affordability headwinds, as reflected in a total coverage ratio of 10.6% (December 2021: 10.9%)

•Total operating expenses decreased 3% to £1,007m driven by lower operational costs and efficiency savings, partially offset by increased investment spend

•Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost decreased 1% in the quarter to £207.3bn as £1.0bn of mortgage growth was more than offset by a £2.3bn decrease in Business Banking balances due to the repayment of government scheme lending and the yield curve impact from rising interest rates on the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority portfolio carrying value

•Customer deposits at amortised cost remained broadly stable at £260.3bn, maintaining a strong loan: deposit ratio of 85% (December 2021: 85%)

•RWAs remained stable at £72.7bn (December 2021: £72.3bn)

131 December 2021 financial and capital metrics have been restated to reflect the over-issuance of US securities under the Barclays Bank PLC US Shelf. See Basis of preparation on page 33 for further details.

Group Finance Director's Review

Barclays International

•Profit before tax decreased 13% to £1,713m with a RoE of 14.4% (Q121: 17.4%), reflecting a RoE of 17.1% (Q121: 17.9%) in CIB and (1.2)% (Q121: 14.6%) in CC&P and a RoTE of 14.8% (Q121: 17.7%), reflecting a RoTE of 17.1% (Q121: 17.9%) in CIB and (1.5)% (Q121: 16.5%) in CC&P

•Total income increased to £4,824m (Q121: £4,399m)

–CIB income increased 10% to £3,938m reflecting the benefit of a diversified business model

–Global Markets income increased 26% to £2,696m driven by strong performances in FICC and Equities, reflecting higher levels of activity as we supported our clients through a period of market volatility. FICC income increased 37% to £1,644m, mainly in macro, and Equities income increased 13% to £1,052m driven by derivatives

–Investment Banking fees income decreased 25% to £648m due to the reduced fee pool, particularly in Equity capital markets1, and a strong prior year comparative

–Within Corporate, Transaction banking income increased 19% to £469m driven by deposit balance growth, improved margins and higher payments volumes. Corporate lending income decreased 39% to £125m due to higher costs of hedging and credit protection

–CC&P income increased 10% to £886m

–International Cards and Consumer Bank income was stable at £538m as higher average cards balances were offset by higher customer acquisition costs

–Private Bank income increased 20% to £214m, reflecting client balance growth and improved margins

–Unified Payments income increased 44% to £134m driven by turnover growth following the easing of lockdown restrictions in the past year

•Credit impairment charges were £101m (Q121: £22m net release) reflecting a continued benign credit environment

–CIB credit impairment net release of £33m (Q121: £43m net release) was driven by improvements in the portfolio and limited material single name wholesale loan charges

–CC&P credit impairment charges increased to £134m (Q121: £21m charge) driven by higher unsecured lending balances in US cards. As at 31 March 2022, 30 and 90 day arrears in US cards were 1.6% (Q121: 2.1%) and 0.8% (Q121: 1.2%) respectively. The US cards business continues to maintain appropriate provision levels in light of potential emerging affordability headwinds, as reflected in a total coverage ratio of 10.4% (December 2021: 10.6%)

•Total operating expenses increased 23% to £3,018m

–CIB total operating expenses increased 19% to £2,239m primarily driven by a £320m provision relating to the expected losses resulting from a rescission offer to repurchase certain securities issuances identified as being in excess of the registered amount. Operating costs increased 2% to £1,921m as investment in talent, systems and technology were partially offset by lower performance costs

–CC&P total operating expenses increased 36% to £779m driven by £195m of litigation and conduct costs, including a provision for higher customer remediation costs relating to a legacy loan portfolio, and higher investment spend reflecting an increase in marketing and costs for existing and new partnerships

•RWAs increased to £245.1bn (December 2021: £230.9bn) resulting from regulatory changes that took effect from 1 January 2022, increased client and trading activity within CIB and an increase in respect of short-term hedging arrangements designed to manage the risks of the rescission offer

Head Office

•Loss before tax was £73m (Q121: £32m)

•Total income was £23m (Q121: £75m expense) which included a one-off gain of £86m from the sale and leaseback of UK data centres, partially offset by hedge accounting, funding costs on legacy capital instruments and treasury items

•Total operating expenses were £86m (Q121: £80m)

•Other net income was an expense of £18m (Q121: £123m income) driven by a fair value loss in Barclays associate investment holding in the Business Growth Fund

•RWAs were £11.0bn (December 2021: £11.0bn)

Barclays PLC 7

Group Finance Director's Review

Group capital and leverage1

•The CET1 ratio decreased by 130bps to 13.8% (December 2021: 15.1%) as capital decreased by £2.1bn to £45.3bn and RWAs increased by £14.7bn to £328.8bn

–The expected impact of regulatory change on 1 January 2022 reduced the CET1 ratio by c80bps as CET1 capital decreased £1.7bn and RWAs increased £6.6bn with a further c30bps reduction due to the £1bn buyback announced with FY21 results

–The impact of the over-issuance of securities in the US reduced the CET1 ratio by c20bps due to a £0.2bn (post-tax) increase to the provision reducing CET1 capital and a £2.8bn increase in RWAs reflecting the short-term hedging arrangements designed to manage the risk of the rescission offer

–Excluding the above impacts there was an increase to the CET1 ratio as CET1 capital increased by £0.9bn reflecting profits (excluding the increase in provision for the over-issuance of securities in the US), an accrual toward a FY22 dividend, equity coupons paid, and an increased deduction for prudent valuation adjustments (PVA). This was largely offset by an RWA increase of £5.3bn primarily due to increased client and trading activity within the CIB

•The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.0% (December 2021: 5.2%) primarily due to the decrease in CET1 capital and the £1bn redemption of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments partially offset by a decrease in the leverage exposure of £14.4bn to £1,123.5bn (December 2021: £1,137.9bn)

Group funding and liquidity

•The liquidity pool was £320bn (December 2021: £291bn) and the liquidity coverage ratio remained significantly above the 100% regulatory requirement at 159% (December 2021: 168%), equivalent to a surplus of £115bn (December 2021: £116bn). The increase in the pool was driven by deposit growth and an increase in wholesale funding, which were partly offset by an increase in business funding consumption

•Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £178.1bn (December 2021: £167.5bn). The Group issued £1.4bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) during the year. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 31.2% of RWAs which is in excess of its regulatory requirement of 28.9%

Other matters

•Over-issuance of US securities under the Barclays Bank PLC US Shelf: as per Barclays’ RNS announcement on 28 March 2022, Barclays has commissioned a review by external counsel of the facts and circumstances relating to the matter and is assisting regulators with their inquiries and requests for information. Barclays Bank PLC has elected to make a rescission offer to certain purchasers of the affected securities issued in excess of the registered amount, which is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2022. Barclays remains committed to its structured products business in the US and expects Barclays Bank PLC to file a new shelf registration statement with the SEC, and resume issuance of structured notes, during the second quarter of 2022. The final cost of any rescission offer will be impacted by prevailing market conditions at the date of that offer. Hedges have been put in place to minimise this volatility, but the final impact may differ from the provision reflected at Q122. For further details, please refer to Supplementary Information on pages 32 to 33

•Legacy loan portfolio: a customer remediation provision of £181m has been recognised in relation to a legacy timeshare loan portfolio brokered by Azure Services Limited (ASL). The provision represents the best estimate as at Q122. Barclays continues to review complaints regarding legacy partner finance loans, however it is not currently possible to predict the outcome of this review

•Absa sale: on 21 April 2022, Barclays sold 63m ordinary shares in Absa Group Limited (7.4% of Absa’s issued share capital) at a price of ZAR 164.0 per share, raising aggregate gross sale proceeds of ZAR 10.3bn (£516m2). The sale is expected to result in an increase of approximately 10 basis points to Barclays' CET1 ratio in the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to reduced capital deductions and RWAs, partially offset by a loss on sale of £42m through the income statement

•Pensions: during 2019 and 2020, the UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), the Group’s main pension scheme, subscribed for non-transferable listed senior fixed rate notes for £1.25bn. As a result of these transactions, the CET1 impact of the UKRF was deferred until 2023, 2024 and 2025 upon maturity of the notes. Following the PRA’s statement on 13 April 2022, Barclays is planning to unwind these transactions and to agree the terms and timing of this unwind with the UKRF Trustee as part of the next triennial actuarial valuation as at 30 September 2022. Upon unwind, this would result in a c30bps reduction to the CET1 ratio potentially being accelerated to Q422 from 2023, 2024 and 2025. As at 31 March 2022, the UKRF was in an accounting surplus of £4.4bn on an IAS 19 basis and as at 30 September 2021 was in a funding surplus of £0.6bn. There may also be a pension related reduction in Pillar 2A requirements in 2022 which could partially mitigate the impact of the unwind on the Group surplus capital position

131 December 2021 financial and capital metrics have been restated to reflect the over-issuance of US securities under the Barclays Bank PLC US Shelf. See Basis of preparation on page 33 for further details.

Group Finance Director's Review

Capital distributions

•Barclays is committed to maintaining an appropriate balance between delivering attractive 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 as appropriate, including with share buybacks

•In its 28 March 2022 announcement, Barclays indicated that its previously announced £1bn share buyback programme was expected to commence in Q222 following the publication of Q1 results. Barclays’ Q1 performance, including a profit before tax of £2.2bn, a RoE of 9.9%, a RoTE of 11.5% and a CET1 ratio of 13.8% continues to provide a strong platform for returning capital through the previously announced buyback programme. Due to the ongoing discussions with the SEC regarding the potential restatement of the 2021 financial statements included in Barclays PLC’s Form 20-F filed with the SEC, Barclays believes that it is prudent to delay the commencement of the buyback programme until those discussions have been concluded. Barclays remains committed to the share buyback programme and the intention would be to launch it as soon as practicable following resolution of filing requirements being reached with the SEC and the appropriate 20-F filings having been made. For further details regarding discussions with the SEC, see Supplementary Information on pages 32 to 33

Group targets

Barclays continues to target the following over the medium term:

•Returns: RoTE of greater than 10%

•Cost efficiency: cost: income ratio below 60%

•Capital adequacy: CET1 ratio in the range of 13-14%

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 31 March 2022. 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 31 March 2022.

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 loss (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.

Measurement uncertainty

The Q122 ECL provision has been based on macroeconomic indicators used in the Q421 ECL scenario, rolled forward by one quarter, and updated to reflect changes in balances, risk parameters and individually assessed impaired names during the quarter. Management has applied economic uncertainty and other adjustments to modelled ECL outputs.

Uncertainty persists. The ongoing geopolitical situation could put further pressure on already high levels of inflation which may weigh on corporate profitability and consumer affordability levels. In addition, COVID-19 infection rates have started to increase across the globe which could result in (among other things) labour shortages and supply chain constraints.

In response to the changing economic environment, key baseline macroeconomic indicators have been tracked against consensus updates to March 2022. These latest updates reflect improved UK unemployment expectations but also higher inflationary expectations. However, because the macroeconomic outlook remains uncertain and has only recently changed, these updates have not been reflected in the Q122 ECL modelled provision level.

Furthermore, sensitivity analysis has been completed to estimate the impact of applying the refreshed UK unemployment baseline improvement to the UK Credit Cards portfolio. This high level analysis indicated that, all other things being equal, this would result in an immaterial release to modelled ECL. In addition, coverage levels have been assessed in light of the potential impact of higher inflation on customer affordability and expert judgements updated accordingly with the resulting adjustments included within total post model adjustments of £1.3bn (31 December 2021: £1.5bn).

The tables below show the key consensus macroeconomic variables used in the Baseline scenario and the probability weights applied to each scenario.

Regulatory minimum requirements

Capital

The Group’s Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 is 11.0% 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 2.5% 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. On 13 December 2021, the FPC announced that a CCyB rate of 1% for UK exposures has been re-introduced and will be applicable from 13 December 2022.

The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Requirement was set as a nominal amount. When expressed as a percentage of RWAs this was 4.4% of which at least 56.25% needed to be met with CET1 capital, equating to approximately 2.5% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review and is based on a point in time assessment.

Leverage

The Group is subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 3.8%. 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 Tier 1 (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 £5.9bn.

The Group is also 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.

MREL

The Group is required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.4% Pillar 2A; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the capital buffers, meaning that the buffers will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

Significant regulatory updates in the period

Capital and RWAs

On 1 January 2022 the PRA’s implementation of Basel III standards took effect including the re-introduction of the 100% CET1 capital deduction for qualifying software intangible assets and the introduction of the Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) which replaces the Current Exposure Method (CEM) for Standardised derivative exposures as a more risk sensitive approach. In addition, the PRA also implemented IRB roadmap changes which includes revisions to the criteria for definition of default, probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) estimation to ensure supervisory consistency and increase transparency of IRB models.

Leverage

From 1 January 2022, UK banks are subject to a single UK leverage ratio requirement meaning that the CRR leverage ratio no longer applies. Central bank claims can be excluded from the UK leverage ratio measure as long as they are matched by qualifying liabilities (rather than deposits).

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. On 31 March 2022, the temporary transitional powers (TTP) available to UK regulators to delay or phase in on-shoring of European Union legislation into UK law ended with full compliance of the on-shored regulations required from 1 April 2022.

2CET1, T1 and T2 capital, and RWAs are calculated applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II. This includes IFRS 9 transitional arrangements and the grandfathering of CRR II non-compliant capital instruments. Prior period comparatives include the grandfathering of CRR non-compliant capital instruments.

3The fully loaded CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays PLC AT1 securities, was 13.6%, with £44.7bn of CET1 capital and £328.6bn of RWAs calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II.

4The Group’s CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays Bank PLC 7.625% Contingent Capital Notes, was 13.8%. For this calculation CET1 capital and RWAs are calculated applying the transitional arrangements under the CRR as amended by CRR II, including the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements. The benefit of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) October 2012 interpretation of the transitional provisions, relating to the implementation of CRD IV, expired in December 2017.

CET1 capital decreased £2.1bn to £45.3bn (December 2021: £47.3bn).

CET1 capital decreased by £1.7bn as a result of regulatory changes that took effect from 1 January 2022 including the re-introduction of the 100% CET1 capital deduction for qualifying software intangible assets and a reduction in IFRS 9 transitional relief due to the relief applied to the pre-2020 impairment charge reducing to 25% in 2022 from 50% in 2021 and the relief applied to the post-2020 impairment charge reducing to 75% in 2022 from 100% in 2021.

£1.6bn of capital generated from profits, after absorbing the £0.2bn (post-tax) additional impact of the over-issuance of securities in the US, was more than offset by distributions of £1.5bn comprising:

•£1bn for share buybacks announced with FY21 results

•£0.3bn accrual towards a FY22 dividend

•£0.2bn of equity coupons paid

Other significant decreases in the period were:

•£0.3bn increase in the PVA deduction as a result of increased volatility and uncertainty in the market

•£0.2bn decrease in the Fair value through other comprehensive income reserve primarily due to losses on bonds as a result of an increase in yields, partially offset by gains in value of the Absa investment

Overall RWAs increased £14.7bn to £328.8bn (December 2021: £314.1bn)

Credit risk RWAs increased £14.2bn:

•A £10.1bn increase in book size primarily driven by lending activities within CIB and an increase in short-term hedging arrangements designed to manage the risks of the rescission offer, expected to unwind after completion of such rescission offer

•A £1.2bn decrease in book quality primarily driven by the benefit in mortgages from an increase in the House Price Index (HPI)

•A £3.3bn increase in methodology and policy as a result of regulatory changes that took effect from 1 January 2022, relating to implementation of IRB roadmap changes partially offset by the reversal of the software intangibles benefit

•A £2.1bn increase in FX due to appreciation of period end USD and EUR against GBP

Counterparty Credit risk RWAs increased £4.3bn:

•A £3.3bn increase in methodology and policy as a result of regulatory changes that took effect from 1 January 2022, relating to the introduction of SA-CCR

Market risk RWAs decreased £3.9bn:

•A £4.2bn decrease in book size primarily due to a decrease in Stressed Value at Risk (SVaR) model adjustment as a result of changes in portfolio composition and a reduction in Structural FX. This was partially offset by increased client and trading activities.

3Fully loaded average UK leverage ratio was 4.8%, with £56.1bn of T1 capital and £1,178.8bn of leverage exposure. Fully loaded UK leverage ratio was 5.0%, with £55.7bn of T1 capital and £1,122.9bn of leverage exposure. Fully loaded UK leverage ratios are calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II.

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.0% (December 2021: 5.2%) primarily due to a £3.2bn decrease in T1 capital partially offset by a £14.4bn decrease in the leverage exposure.The UK leverage exposure decreased to £1,123.5bn (December 2021: £1,137.9bn), due to the following movements:

•£51.7bn decrease in PFE on derivatives primarily driven by increased netting eligibility due to the introduction of SA-CCR

•£23.7bn decrease due to a £50.1bn increase in qualifying central bank claims exemption due to the matching of allowable liabilities rather than deposits introduced under the UK leverage framework review, partially offset by a £26.3bn increase in cash

•£34.5bn increase in derivative financial instruments post additional regulatory netting and adjustments for cash collateral primarily driven by client and trading activity in CIB and the application of a 1.4 multiplier introduced under SA-CCR

•£20.1bn increase in SFTs primarily driven by client activity in CIB

The average UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.8% (December 2021: 4.9%) primarily due to a £3.0bn decrease in average T1 capital driven by the redemption of AT1 capital instruments and the reduction of IFRS 9 transitional relief. This was partially offset by a £49.7bn decrease in the leverage exposure to £1,179.4bn (December 2021: £1,229.0bn) due to movements broadly in line with UK leverage as well as an increase in net written credit derivatives due to the inclusion of credit default swap options from 1 January 2022.

Financial Statement Notes

1.Contingent liabilities and commitments

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events and present obligations where the transfer of economic resources is uncertain or cannot be reliably measured. Contingent liabilities are not recognised on the balance sheet but are disclosed unless the likelihood of an outflow of economic resources is remote.

Over Issuance of Securities in the US

Barclays Bank PLC maintains a US Shelf registration statement with the SEC in order to issue securities to US investors. The current shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC and was valid for three years from 1 August 2019. At the time this shelf registration statement was filed, Barclays Bank PLC was not eligible to be a “well-known seasoned issuer” (or WKSI) due to an historic SEC settlement order and was required to pre-register a set amount of securities to be issued under the US Shelf with the SEC.

On 10 March 2022, executive management became aware that Barclays Bank PLC had issued securities in excess of the set amount. It has been estimated that the BBPLC US shelf limit was exceeded on or around 18 February 2021, with issuances through to 10 March 2022 exceeding the limit by c.US$15bn. The securities that have been over issued in this period comprise structured notes and exchange traded notes (ETNs). Securities issued in excess of the limit are considered to be “unregistered securities” for the purposes of US securities law with the certain purchasers of those securities having the right to require Barclays Bank PLC to repurchase those securities at their original purchase price with compensatory interest and the potential for the certain purchasers to bring civil claims and the SEC and other regulators to take enforcement actions against Barclays Bank PLC.

Barclays has a provision of £540m at Q122 relating to this matter, £320m (post-tax impact of £240m) of which was recognised in Q122 and £220m (post-tax of £170m) recognised in 2021 in relation to the c.US$13bn over issuance of structured notes which represents the best estimate of the rescission right investors have for these securities. A contingent liability exists in relation to the c.US$2bn over issuance of ETNs due to evidentiary challenges and the high level of trading in the securities. A contingent liability also exists in relation to any potential claims or enforcement actions taken against Barclays Bank PLC but there is currently no indication of the timetable for resolution and it is not practicable to provide an estimate of the financial effects. Barclays Bank PLC is unable to assess the likelihood of liabilities that may arise out of any civil claims or enforcement actions. Any such liabilities, claims or actions could have an adverse effect on Barclays Bank PLC’s and the Group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation as a frequent issuer in the securities markets.

Over-issuance of US securities under the Barclays Bank PLC US Shelf

In its announcement on 28 March 2022 relating to the impact of over-issuance under the US shelf registration statement (US Shelf) of Barclays Bank PLC (BBPLC), Barclays indicated that (i) it was assessing the impact of these matters on prior period financial statements of BBPLC and (ii) it had commissioned a review by external counsel (the Review) of the facts and circumstances relating to these matters, including, among other things, the control environment related to such over-issuance. In addition, it disclosed that BBPLC would make a rescission offer to certain purchasers of the affected securities issued in excess of the registered amount under the US Shelf. Since the announcement, Barclays has continued to engage with, and respond to inquiries and requests for information from, various regulators, including the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Developments since the announcement:

•Financial Statements in BPLC 2021 ARA: The directors do not believe it is appropriate under UK company law and financial reporting standards to revise the financial statements of Barclays PLC (BPLC) included in its 2021 Annual Report and Accounts (BPLC 2021 ARA) to reflect the impact of the over-issuance, but Barclays will instead record a pre-tax provision of £220m (£170m post-tax) as at 31 December 2021 as a prior year adjustment in the financial statements of BPLC for the year ended 31 December 2022 in relation to these matters. This and subsequent results announcements will therefore also reflect the impact of this adjustment in the appropriate prior year quarters.

•Financial Statements in BPLC 2021 Form 20-F: Barclays is currently in discussions with the SEC regarding whether the fact that the financial statements of BPLC included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the BPLC 2021 Form 20-F) do not reflect the £220m provision at 31 December 2021 for the over-issuance of structured notes and a contingent liability disclosure in respect of the over-issuance of exchange traded notes (ETNs) and related potential claims and enforcement actions against BBPLC and its affiliates constitutes a material accounting error under US securities laws. Depending on the outcome of those discussions, Barclays may be required to withdraw and refile (Restate or Restatement) the financial statements included in the BPLC 2021 Form 20-F to reflect these matters. In any event, Barclays will be required to reflect the financial impact of these matters by adjusting the comparative financial periods in its subsequent financial filings until the error has been fully corrected.

•BBPLC Financial Statements: Similarly, the directors of BBPLC do not believe it is appropriate under UK company law and financial reporting standards, to revise the financial statements of BBPLC included in its 2021 Annual Report and Accounts (BBPLC 2021 ARA), but Barclays will instead record the pre-tax provision of £220m as a prior year adjustment in the financial statements of BBPLC for the year ended 31 December 2022. However, due to the lower applicable materiality threshold for BBPLC, on 27 April 2022 the directors of BBPLC determined that BBPLC would Restate the financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the BBPLC 2021 20-F) previously filed with the SEC. BBPLC intends to Restate such financial statements to reflect both the provision and the contingent liability referred to above. There will therefore be differences between the 2021 financial statements included in the BBPLC 2021 Form 20-F once amended and the BBPLC 2021 ARA, and investors are therefore cautioned to exercise care in using these financial statements during the course of 2022.

•Assessment of Control Environment: In light of the ongoing Review, management has concluded that, by virtue of the fact that the over-issuance occurred and was not immediately identified, both BPLC and BBPLC had a material weakness in relation to certain aspects of their internal control environment and, as a consequence, their internal control over financial reporting for the year ended 31 December 2021 was not effective under the applicable Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Framework. The material weakness that has been identified relates to a failure to monitor issuances of structured notes and ETNs under BBPLC’s US Shelf during the period in which BBPLC’s status changed from a “well-known seasoned issuer” to an “ineligible issuer” for US securities law purposes, and BBPLC was required to pre-register a set amount of securities to be issued under its US Shelf with the SEC. As a result of this failure, BBPLC issued securities in excess of that set amount.

•Amendments to Forms 20-F: BPLC is preparing an amendment to the BPLC 2021 Form 20-F to reflect the change in management’s assessment of BPLC’s internal control over financial reporting and KPMG’s auditor attestation thereon as well as its disclosure controls and procedures. BBPLC is preparing an amendment to the BBPLC 2021 Form 20-F to include its Restated 2021 financial statements and to reflect the change in management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. These amendments will be filed as soon as practicable. Until the BPLC 2021 Form 20-F has been amended to disclose that its internal controls were not effective, KPMG’s audit report should not be relied upon by users of BPLC’s financial statements. Until BBPLC has Restated its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and amended the BBPLC 2021 Form 20-F, investors and other users of BBPLC’s filings with the SEC are cautioned not to rely on the financial statements included in the BBPLC 2021 Form 20-F.

Barclays PLC 32

Supplementary Information

•Remediation Plans: Following a review of other issuance programmes utilised by members of the Group, management have determined that the Group is not in excess of any limit applicable to such programmes. Barclays is nonetheless enhancing the internal controls relating to its debt securities issuance activity in all relevant jurisdictions.

Barclays remains committed to its structured products business in the US and expects BBPLC to file a new shelf registration statement with the SEC as soon as practicable following the amendment of the BBPLC 2021 Form 20-F. For further details, please refer to the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this Q122 results announcement.

Notwithstanding any Restatement of the financial statements included in the BPLC 2021 Form 20-F that may ultimately be required in accordance with the applicable SEC rules, as mentioned above, it is not intended that the financial statements in the BPLC 2021 ARA for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 would be revised and the BPLC 2021 ARA, which has been circulated to shareholders ahead of the BPLC AGM to be held on 4 May 2022, will be laid before shareholders at that meeting in the usual way.

Basis of preparation

In March 2022, Barclays management became aware that Barclays Bank PLC, a subsidiary undertaking had issued securities in the US in excess of the amount it had registered with the SEC. The securities issued in excess of the registered amount were structured and exchange traded notes. As the securities were not issued in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this gives rise to a right of rescission for certain purchasers of the securities. A proportion of these costs associated with the right of rescission are attributable to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. This omission in the financial statements has resulted in the restatement of the prior period comparatives with the following impact:

–Litigation and conduct charges in the income statement in relation to 2021 were under reported by £220m increasing total operating expenses from a reported £14,439m to £14,659m. Provisions on the balance sheet have increased from a reported £1,688m to £1,908m.

–Taxation charge in the income statement has reduced by £50m from a reported £1,188m to £1,138m with a corresponding decrease in current tax liabilities on the balance sheet from £739m to £689m.

–CET1 capital decreased £0.2bn from £47.5bn to £47.3bn with the CET1 ratio remaining unchanged at 15.1%. The T1 ratio moved from 19.2% to 19.1% and Total capital ratio moved from 22.3% to 22.2%.

–Leverage exposure increased £1.9bn with the UK leverage ratio decreasing from 5.3% to 5.2% and the average UK leverage ratio remaining unchanged at 4.9%.

–Total own funds and eligible liabilities decreased £0.2bn to £108bn, which was in excess of a restated requirement to hold £94bn of own funds and eligible liabilities.

The overall impact of the restatement on the 2021 comparatives has been to reduce the reported profit after tax from £7,226m to £7,056m for the full financial year. This reduction in profit after tax was incurred after Q121 and as such, no adjustments have been made to the Q121 reported income statement figures.

Reflecting this adjustment in this Q122 results announcement results in a pre-tax provision of £220m (£170m post-tax) being reflected as at 31 December 2021. This reduces the 2022 impact of the provision previously communicated on 28 March 2022 and results in a pre-tax provision of £320m (£240m post-tax) being recognised in Q122. Had such adjustment not been made the impact on the key performance ratios for Q122 would have been to reduce the return on average tangible shareholders equity to 10.1% and increase the cost:income ratio to 67%.

Appendix: Non-IFRS Performance Measures

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.

–Foundation IRB (F-IRB): the bank applies its own PD as for Advanced, but it uses standard parameters for the LGD and the credit conversion factor. The Foundation IRB approach is specifically designed for wholesale credit exposures. Hence retail, equity, securitisation positions and non-credit obligations asset exposures are treated under standardised or A-IRB.
