Exhibit 99.1

Barclays PLC

This document includes portions from the previously published Results Announcement of Barclays PLC relating to the nine months ended 30 September 2016, as amended in part to comply with the requirements of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the reconciliation of certain financial information to comparable measures prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The purpose of this document is to provide such additional disclosure as required by Regulation G and Regulation S-K item 10(e), to delete certain information not in compliance with SEC regulations and to include reconciliations of certain non IFRS figures to the most directly equivalent IFRS figures for the periods presented. This document does not update or otherwise supplement the information contained in the previously published Results Announcement. Any reference to a website in this document is made for informational purposes only, and information found at such websites is not incorporated by reference into this document.

An audit opinion has not been rendered in respect of this document.


Notes

The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the nine months ended 30 September 2016 to the corresponding nine months of 2015 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 September 2016 with comparatives relating to 30 June 2016 and/or 31 December 2015. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively.

Comparatives have been restated to reflect the implementation of the Group business reorganisation. These restatements were detailed in our Form 6-K filed with the SEC dated April 15, 2016.

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 to this document.

The information in this document, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 26 October 2016, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the SEC and which contained an unqualified 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.

These results will be furnished as a Form 6-K to the SEC as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished with the SEC, copies of the Form 6-K will also be available from the Barclays Investor Relations website home.barclays/results and from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

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.

Certain Non-IFRS Measures

Barclays PLC (Barclays) management believes that the non-International Financial Reporting Standards (non-IFRS) measures included in this document provide valuable information to readers of its financial statements because they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the business’ 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 Barclays PLC and its subsidiaries (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 measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well.

Key non-IFRS measures included in this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures, are:

– Barclays Core results are non-IFRS measures because they represent the sum of the Operating Segments, each of which is prepared in accordance with IFRS 8; “Operating Segments”, and following the restatement of 14 April 2016 comprise Barclays UK, Barclays International and Head Office. A reconciliation to IFRS is provided on page 18.

– Basic earnings/(loss) per share excluding notable items. The comparable IFRS measure is basic earnings/(loss) per share, which represents profit after tax and non-controlling interests, divided by the basic weighted average number of shares in issue. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 17.

– Estimated CRD IV liquidity coverage ratio is calculated according to the Commission Delegated Regulation of October 2014 that supplements Regulation (EU) 575/2013 (CRDIV) published by the European Commission in June 2013. The metric is applicable from 1 October 2015 and as such is a binding measure as at 31 December 2015.

– Transitional CRD IV CET1 ratio according to FSA October 2012. This measure is calculated by taking into account the statement of the Financial Services Authority, the predecessor of the Prudential Regulation Authority, on CRD IV transitional provisions in October 2012, assuming such provisions were applied as at 1 January 2014. This ratio is used as the relevant measure starting 1 January 2014 for purposes of determining whether the automatic write-down trigger (specified as a Transitional CET1 ratio according to FSA October 2012 of less than 7.00%) has occurred under the terms of the Contingent Capital Notes issued by Barclays Bank PLC on 21 November 2012 (CUSIP: 06740L8C2) and 10 April 2013 (CUSIP: 06739FHK0). Please refer to page 31 for a reconciliation of this measure to fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio.

– Underlying cost: income ratio. The comparable IFRS measure is cost: income ratio. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 17.

– Underlying total operating expenses or total operating expenses excluding notable items. The comparable IFRS measure is total operating expenses. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 17.

– Underlying profit before tax or profit before tax excluding notable items. The comparable IFRS measure is profit before tax. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 17.

– Underlying return on average tangible shareholders’ equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on average tangible shareholders’ equity, which represents annualised profit after tax for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders, including an adjustment for the tax credit in reserves in respect of other equity instruments, 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 and excluded items noted below are provided on page 17.

Notes

 

– Underlying total income. The comparable IFRS measure is total income net of insurance claims. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 17.

References to underlying performance exclude the impact of notable items.

Notable items which are excluded from certain of the key non-IFRS measures described above are considered to be significant items impacting comparability of performance and have been called out for the group’s results, Core and Non-Core results and each of the business segments. Notable items include: the impact of own credit in total income net of insurance claims; the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in total income net of insurance claims; gains on US Lehman acquisition assets in total income net of insurance claims; revision of the Education, Social Housing, and Local Authority (ESHLA) valuation methodology in total income net of insurance claims; gain on valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability in operating expenses; impairment of goodwill and other assets relating to businesses being disposed in operating expenses, provisions for UK customer redress in litigation and conduct; provisions for ongoing investigations and litigation including Foreign Exchange in litigation and conduct; and losses on sale relating to the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian businesses in other net income/(expenses).

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. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, notable items, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the strategic cost programme and the Group Strategy Update, rundown of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core, sell down of the Group’s interest in Barclays Africa Group Limited, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers 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. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards, 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, future levels of notable items, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, 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 (including with regard to the future structure of the Group) applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Africa, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued 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 entities within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the implications of the results of the 23 June 2016 referendum in the United Kingdom and the disruption that may result in the UK and globally from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union; the implementation of the strategic cost programme; 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 future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and 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 our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our annual report on form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2015, the “2015 Annual Report”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to our obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the United States 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.

The profit after tax attributable to other equity holders of £318m (Q315 YTD: £238m) is offset by a tax credit recorded in reserves of £89m (Q315 YTD: £48m). The net amount of £229m (Q315 YTD: £190m), along with non-controlling interests (NCI) is deducted from profit after tax in order to calculate earnings per share and return on average tangible shareholders’ equity.

Group Performance Review

 

 

Group performance

 

 

Profit before tax decreased 10% to £2,900m. The Group performance reflected strong Core results while being impacted by the acceleration of Non-Core rundown resulting in a loss before tax of £1,998m (Q315 YTD: £1,503m), provisions for UK customer redress of £1,000m (Q315 YTD: £1,322m) and the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, positively impacting income and adversely affecting impairment and operating expenses

 

 

Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity was 4.4% (Q315 YTD: 5.8%) and basic earnings per share was 9.6p (Q315 YTD: 12.4p)

 

 

Total income net of insurance claims decreased 6% to £16,459m as the acceleration of Non-Core rundown resulted in income reducing £1,425m to a net expense of £745m, while Core income increased 2% to £17,204m

 

 

While delinquency rates remained broadly stable, credit impairment charges increased 42% to £1,720m primarily driven by a one-off £320m charge in Q316 following the management review of the UK and US cards portfolio impairment modelling. Q116 also included impairment of a number of single name exposures, largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector. These resulted in a 13bps increase in the loan loss rate to 48bps

 

 

Total operating expenses reduced 6% to £12,019m reflecting savings from strategic cost programmes as well as lower litigation and conduct charges. Operating expenses included a £150m charge in Barclays International in Q316, relating to a reduction in the real estate footprint which will generate savings in future periods, increased structural reform implementation costs, the continued business growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments and the non-recurrence of the prior year gains of £429m on valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability

 

 

The effective tax rate on profit before tax increased to 36.0% (Q315 YTD: 30.6%) principally as a result of an increase in non-deductible provisions and, with effect from January 2016, a new corporation tax surcharge of 8% on banks’ UK profits

 

 

Profit after tax in respect of continuing operations decreased 17% to £1,857m. Profit after tax in relation to the Africa Banking discontinued operation decreased 1% to £520m

 

 

In the nine months ended September 2016, notable items resulted in a net loss before tax of £465m (Q315 YTD: £1,181m) comprising provisions for UK customer redress of £1,000m (Q315 YTD: £1,322m), a £615m (Q315 YTD: £nil) gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and an own credit loss of £80m (Q315 YTD: gain of £605m)

Commentary which follows is stated on a statutory and underlying basis, with the underlying excluding notable items; see page 1 for explanation of certain non-IFRS measures.

Core performance

 

 

Statutory profit before tax increased 4% to £4,898m due to non-recurrence of notable items and underlying profit before tax decreased 1% to £5,363m, including the benefit of the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP. This reflected solid performance in both Barclays UK and Barclays International, generating positive cost: income jaws and a cost: income ratio on a statutory basis of 73% (Q315 YTD: 73%) and 58% (Q315 YTD: 59%) on an underlying basis

 

 

The Core business generated a statutory RoTE of 9.1% (Q315 YTD: 11.0%) and an underlying RoTE of 10.7% (Q315 YTD: 12.9%) based on an increased average tangible equity base of £40bn (Q315 YTD: £36bn), as capital was returned from Non-Core

 

 

Total income increased 2% to £17,204m, with Barclays UK income increasing 3% to £5,689m and Barclays International income increasing 6% to £11,403m with growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments

 

 

Total underlying income increased 5% to £16,669m, with Barclays UK underlying income increasing 1% to £5,538m and Barclays International underlying income increasing 6% to £10,939m with growth in both CIB and Consumer, Cards and Payments

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased 49% to £1,645m resulting in a 16bps increase in the loan loss rate to 53bps primarily due to a one-off £320m charge in Q316 following the management review of the UK and US cards portfolio impairment modelling

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased 3% to £10,656m and total underlying operating expenses increased 3% to £9,656m

Group Performance Review

 

 

 

Barclays UK

 

 

RoTE was 6.9% (Q315 YTD: 14.8%) as profit before tax decreased 19% to £1,155m. The statutory cost: income ratio was 67% (Q315 YTD: 65%). Underlying RoTE was 20.0% (Q315 YTD: 23.2%), as underlying profit before tax decreased 8% to £2,004m driven by an increase in credit impairment charges, while the underlying cost: income ratio improved to 51% (Q315 YTD: 52%)

 

 

Total income increased 3% to £5,689m due to the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and total underlying income increased 1% to £5,538m through steady growth in balances and pricing discipline

 

   

Statutory Personal Banking income increased 7% to £2,957m driven by improved deposit margins and balance growth, partially offset by mortgage margin pressure

 

   

Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 3% to £1,515m reflecting the impact of the European Interchange Fee Regulation, which came into full effect from December 2015, partially offset by balance growth and a gain from a debt sale in Q316

 

   

Statutory Wealth, Entrepreneurs & Business Banking (WEBB) income increased 3% to £1,217m (Q3 YTD: £1,179m) reflecting deposit growth, partially offset by reduced transactional appetite from investors and a reduction in assets under management in Wealth

 

   

Net interest income increased 2% to £4,546m due to deposit balance growth and pricing initiatives, partially offset by a lower mortgage margin. NIM increased 7bps to 3.63% reflecting higher margins on Personal Banking deposits and income from treasury operations in Q316

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased 47% to £716m primarily due to a one-off £200m charge in Q316 following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling. Excluding this charge, impairment trends remained broadly stable, with the 30 and 90 day arrears rates on the cards portfolio improving year-on-year to 2.0% (Q315 YTD: 2.2%) and 1.0% (Q315 YTD: 1.1%) respectively

 

 

Total operating expenses increased 6% to £3,817m due to an increase in notable items and increased structural reform programme implementation costs. Total underlying operating expenses decreased 1% to £2,817m driven by savings realised from strategic cost programmes, partially offset by increased structural reform programme implementation costs

Barclays International

 

 

RoTE was 12.9% (Q315 YTD: 9.7%) and underlying RoTE was 10.5% (Q315 YTD: 11.5%)

 

 

Profit before tax increased 27% to £3,838m due to the non recurrence of litigation and conduct. Underlying profit before tax decreased 2% to £3,374m reflecting strong growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments, encouraging CIB results, and the benefit from the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP more than offset by an increase in impairment charges

 

 

Total income increased 6% to £11,403m due to the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and total underlying income increased 6% to £10,939m as Consumer, Cards and Payments and CIB income increased

 

   

Markets income increased 4% to £4,103m, within which Credit income increased 47% to £924m driven by a strong performance in the fixed income credit flow businesses, Equities income decreased 13% to £1,380m following simplification of the business model, and Macro income increased 4% to £1,799m driven by continued momentum in Q316 and reflecting increased activity post the EU referendum

 

   

Banking income decreased 1% to £3,895m, within which Banking fee income increased 7% to £1,747m, driven by higher debt underwriting and financial advisory fees, Corporate lending income decreased 15% to £892m, due to reduced income from hedges, and Transactional banking income increased 1% to £1,256m driven by increased income from higher deposit balances and an increase in payment volumes

 

   

Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 40% to £3,401m driven by the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited, continued growth in Barclaycard US, including the benefit of portfolio acquisitions, Barclaycard Germany, Barclaycard Business Solutions and the Wealth International business

 

   

Net interest income increased 8% to £3,466m including income from treasury operations in Q316 and NIM1 increased to 4.89% (Q315 YTD: 4.56%) driven by growth in interest earning lending in Barclaycard US

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased 50% to £929m

 

   

CIB impairment increased 47% to £170m primarily from impairment of a number of single name exposures in Q116, largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector

 

   

Consumer, Cards and Payments impairment increased 51% to £759m due to growth in receivables and a one-off £120m charge in Q316 following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling. Excluding this charge, impairment trends in US cards increased modestly year-on-year, with the 30 and 90 day arrears rates of 2.4% (Q315 YTD: 2.1%) and 1.1% (Q315 YTD: 1.0%) respectively

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased 7% to £6,663m. Total underlying operating expenses increased 6% to £6,663m

 

   

CIB statutory operating expenses decreased 11% to £5,337m due to non recurrence of litigation and conduct

 

   

CIB underlying operating expenses increased 7% to £5,337m, including higher restructuring costs, £150m of which related to reducing the real estate footprint in Q316, and higher structural reform programme implementation costs, largely relating to the incorporation of the US Intermediate Holding Company (IHC) on 1 July 2016. These increases were partially offset by lower litigation and conduct charges

Head Office

 

 

Loss before tax was £95m (Q315 YTD: £276m profit) largely due to an own credit loss of £80m (Q3 YTD: £605m gain) and underlying loss before tax was £15m (Q315 YTD: £203m profit) reflecting increased net income from treasury operations and reduced structural reform implementation costs in operating expenses

Non-Core performance

 

 

The Non-Core rundown remains on track, with RWAs decreasing £10bn to £44bn in the nine months to September 2016 despite the impact of the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP, driven by a £5bn reduction in Derivatives and a £3bn reduction in Securities and loans including the completion of the sale of the Portuguese retail and insurance businesses and Italian banking network

 

 

Good progress has been made on business disposals, with the following completions in Q316:

 

   

Sale of Barclays Risk Analytics and Index Solutions, resulting in a pre-tax gain of £535m in other net income

 

   

Sale of the Italian retail banking network, resulting in a decrease in Non-Core RWAs of £0.6bn

 

 

Loss before tax increased 33% to £1,998m (Q3 YTD: £1,503m) and underlying loss before tax increased to £1,998m (Q315 YTD: £1,015m)

 

 

Total income net of insurance claims reduced £1,425m to a net expense of £745m, including fair value losses on the ESHLA portfolio of £436m (Q315 YTD: £203m)

 

   

Businesses income reduced £352m to £558m primarily due to the impact of lower income following the completion of the sale of the Barclays Wealth Americas, the European retail and UK Secured Lending businesses

 

   

Securities and loans income reduced £644m to a net expense of £799m primarily driven by the fair value losses on the ESHLA portfolio, the impact of restructuring the ESHLA Lender Option Borrower Option loan terms in Q216, the non-recurrence of a £91m provision release relating to a litigation matter in Q115, and the exit of historical investment banking businesses

 

   

Derivatives income reduced £429m to a net expense of £504m primarily reflecting the costs of running down the portfolio

 

 

Credit impairment charges improved 26% to £75m driven by lower impairment charges in Europe

 

 

Total operating expenses improved 25% to £1,363m reflecting a decrease in notable items and reduced costs following the exit of businesses, partially offset by higher restructuring costs

 

 

The intention remains to close Non-Core in 2017

Group capital and leverage

 

 

The fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio increased to 11.6% (December 2015: 11.4%) reflecting an increase in CET1 capital of £2.4bn to £43.2bn, whilst RWAs increased by £15bn to £373bn

 

   

The increase in CET1 capital was largely driven by strong profits of £1.8bn generated in the period, after absorbing the impact of notable items. Other favourable movements included the currency translation reserve as a result of the appreciation of all major currencies against GBP

 

   

This was partially offset by the UKRF defined benefit pension scheme moving to a £1.1bn deficit from a £0.8bn surplus at December 2015, leading to a 30bps adverse CET1 ratio movement. This is a result of AA corporate bond spreads tightening and gilt yields falling, causing the discount rate for the liability values to fall 151bps to 2.31%

 

   

The increase in RWAs was principally due to the appreciation of USD, EUR and ZAR against GBP, which more than offset RWA reductions in Non-Core

 

 

The leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) driven by a 15% increase in the leverage exposure to £1,185bn primarily within loans and advances and other assets, as well as the impact of the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP. Fully loaded Tier 1 capital increased £3.8bn to £49.9bn, including an Additional Tier 1 (AT1) issuance of $1.5bn in Q316

 

 

Tangible net asset value per share increased to 287p (December 2015: 275p) driven by profit generated in the period and net favourable reserve movements

Group Performance Review

 

 

 

Group funding and liquidity

 

 

The Group continued to maintain surpluses to its internal and regulatory requirements in the nine months to September 2016 with a liquidity pool of £157bn (December 2015: £145bn). The increase was driven by the depreciation of GBP against other currencies and higher short term funding to provide additional liquidity. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 125% (December 2015: 133%), equivalent to a surplus of £31bn (December 2015: £37bn)

 

 

Wholesale funding outstanding excluding repurchase agreements was £159bn as at September 2016 (December 2015: £142bn). The increase was driven by the depreciation of GBP against other currencies, holding company issuance and higher short term funding to provide additional liquidity. The Group issued £10.9bn equivalent of capital and senior unsecured debt from the holding company in the nine months to September 2016, of which £7.4bn equivalent and £0.8bn equivalent in public and private senior unsecured debt respectively, and £2.7bn of capital instruments. In the same period £7.4bn of Barclays Bank PLC capital and senior unsecured debt was bought back or called

Other matters

 

 

Additional UK customer redress provisions of £1,000m (Q315 YTD £1,322m) relating to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) were recognised in the nine months to September 2016. £400m was recognised in Q216 reflecting an updated estimate of costs, primarily relating to ongoing remediation programmes, with £600m recognised in Q316 to reflect the current estimate of the impact of the revised complaints deadline proposed in Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation paper 16/20 issued on 2 August 2016. We will continue to review the adequacy of the provision levels in respect of the FCA’s proposals which remain subject to consultation. The remaining PPI provision as at September 2016 was £2.3bn (December 2015: £2.1bn)

 

 

In Q216, Barclays redeemed its $1.15bn 7.75% Series 4 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares. In Q316, Barclays redeemed its $750m 6.625% Series 2 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares. These redemptions resulted in a 10bps detriment to the CET1 ratio, but will result in an ongoing reduction in preference share dividends payable of $139m per annum

 

 

The acquisition of Visa Europe Limited by Visa Inc. completed on 21 June 2016 resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain on disposal of £615m in income in Q216

 

 

On 5 May 2016, Barclays executed the first tranche of the sell down of the Group’s interest in BAGL with the sale of 12.2% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Following completion of this first tranche, Barclays’ holding represents 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Barclays continues to explore opportunities to reduce its shareholding to a level that would permit regulatory deconsolidation. Barclays also continues to work closely with BAGL management on arrangements for operational separation of the two businesses, including the terms of transitional services arrangements and related separation payments

 

 

The Barclays US IHC was incorporated on 1 July 2016. The associated quarterly report to the Federal Reserve (FR Y-9C) will be released on 9 November 2016

Discontinued Operation

 

 

On 1 March 2016, Barclays announced its intention to sell down the Group’s interest in BAGL. This sell down is intended to be to a level which will permit deconsolidation from an accounting and regulatory perspective, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals if and as required. On 5 May 2016 Barclays executed the first tranche of the sell down of the Group’s interest in BAGL with the sale of 12.2% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Following completion of the sale, Barclays’ holding represents 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital.

The Africa Banking business meets the requirements for presentation as a discontinued operation. As such, these results have been presented as two lines on the face of the Group income statement, representing the profit after tax and non-controlling interest in respect of the discontinued operation. Were the fair value of BAGL, based on its quoted share price, less estimated costs to sell, to fall below the carrying amount of the net assets of BAGL including goodwill on acquisition, a resulting impairment to Barclays’ stake in BAGL would also be recognised through these lines.

Capital

 

 

CRD IV capital

Barclays’ current regulatory requirement is to meet a fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio comprising the required 4.5% minimum CET1 ratio requirement and, phased in from 2016, a Combined Buffer Requirement currently expected to comprise of a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% and a Globally Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer of 2%. In addition, Barclays’ Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Guidance (ICG) for 2016 based on a point in time assessment is 3.9% of which 56% will need to be met in CET1 form, equating to approximately 2.2% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review, and all capital, RWA and leverage calculations reflect Barclays’ interpretation of the current rules.

In addition, a Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCCB) is required. On 22 September 2016 the Financial Policy Committee reaffirmed that it expects to maintain a CCCB of 0% on UK exposures until at least June 2017. Other national authorities also determine the appropriate CCCBs that should be applied to exposures in their jurisdiction. During 2016, CCCBs started to apply for Barclays’ exposures to other jurisdictions; however based on current exposures these are not material.

As at 30 September 2016, Barclays’ CET1 ratio was 11.6% which exceeds the 2016 transitional minimum requirement of 7.8% including the minimum 4.5% CET1 ratio requirement, 2.2% of Pillar 2A, a 0.625% CCB buffer, a 0.5% G-SII buffer and a 0% CCCB.

1 The transitional regulatory adjustments to CET1 capital are no longer applicable resulting in CET1 capital on a fully loaded basis being equal to that on a transitional basis.
2 The CRD IV CET1 ratio (FSA October 2012 transitional statement) as applicable to Barclays’ Tier 2 Contingent Capital Notes was 12.8% based on £47.8bn of transitional CRD IV CET1 capital and £373bn of RWAs. This is calculated as CET1 capital as adjusted for the transitional relief (£47.8bn) divided by CRD IV RWAs. The following transitional relief are added back to CET1 capital: Goodwill and Intangibles (£3.5bn), Deferred tax asset (£0.2bn), Debt valuation adjustment (£0.1bn), Expected losses over impairment (£0.5bn) and Excess minority interest (0.2bn).
3 The PRA transitional capital is based on the PRA Rulebook and accompanying supervisory statements.
4 As at 30 September 2016, Barclays’ fully loaded Tier 1 capital was £49,930m, and the fully loaded Tier 1 ratio was 13.4%. Fully loaded total regulatory capital was £66,185m and the fully loaded total capital ratio was 17.7%. The fully loaded Tier 1 capital and total capital measures are calculated without applying the transitional provisions set out in CRD IV and assessing compliance of AT1 and T2 instruments against the relevant criteria in CRD IV.

The CET1 ratio improved to 11.6% (December 2015: 11.4%) primarily driven by an increase in CET1 capital of £2.4bn to £43.2bn as a result of strong profits of £1.8bn generated in the year, after absorbing the impact of notable items. Overall, regulatory capital generated from earnings increased CET1 capital by £1.2bn. Other significant movements in the year were:

 

   

A £2.2bn increase in other qualifying reserves including a £3bn increase in the currency translation reserve as USD, EUR and ZAR strengthened against GBP; partially offset by a £0.4bn decrease as a result of preference share redemptions and a £0.3bn decrease in AFS reserve

 

   

A £1.1bn decrease, net of tax, as a result of movements relating to pensions. The UKRF, which is the Group’s main pension scheme, moved from a £0.8bn surplus to a £1.1bn deficit. The movement was driven by an increase in the liability values, mainly due to a decrease in the discount rate to 2.31%pa (2015: 3.82%pa). The increase in liabilities was partially offset by an increase in asset values driven by higher asset performance relative to the discount rate and the removal of the capital deduction for the UKRF assets in December 2015

 

 

Transitional AT1 capital remained flat in the period as the redemption of £1.2bn of end point non qualifying preference shares and tier one notes was offset by the issuance of $1.5bn of end point qualifying AT1 capital instruments

1 Foreign exchange movement does not include FX for modelled counterparty risk or modelled market risk.

RWAs increased £15.0bn to £373.4bn, due to:

 

 

Book size increased RWAs by £8.1bn primarily driven by increased trading activity as well as an increase in the fair value of derivative exposures in Barclays International and Non-Core

 

 

Acquisitions and disposals decreased RWAs by £4.7bn primarily driven by rundown in Non-Core, including the sale of Portuguese and Italian businesses

 

 

Model updates decreased RWAs by £5.2bn primarily driven by model changes in Barclays UK following approval from the PRA

 

 

Foreign exchange movements increased RWAs by £17.1bn due to the appreciation of ZAR, USD and EUR against GBP

Leverage

 

 

Leverage ratio and exposures

Effective 1 January 2016, Barclays is required to disclose a leverage ratio and an average leverage ratio applicable to the Group:

 

 

The leverage ratio is consistent with the December 2015 method of calculation and has been included in the table below. The calculation uses the end point CRR definition of Tier 1 capital for the numerator and the CRR definition of leverage exposure. The current expected minimum fully loaded requirement is 3%, but this could be impacted by the Basel Consultation on the Leverage Framework

 

 

The average leverage ratio as outlined by the PRA Supervisory Statement SS45/15 and the updated PRA rulebook is calculated as the capital measure divided by the exposure measure, where the capital and exposure measure is based on the average of the last day of each month in the quarter. The expected end point minimum requirement is 3.7% comprising of the 3% minimum requirement, a fully phased in G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB)

At 30 September 2016, Barclays’ leverage ratio was 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) which was consistent with the average leverage ratio of 4.2%, which exceeds the transitional minimum requirement for Barclays of 3.175%, comprising of the 3% minimum requirement and a phased in G-SII ALRB. This already exceeds the expected end point minimum requirement of 3.7%.

In August 2016, the PRA implemented the Financial Policy Committee’s recommendation to allow firms to exclude claims on the central bank from the calculation of the leverage exposure measure, as long as these are matched by deposits denominated in the same currency. The revised definition will flow through to firms’ obligations with regards to the minimum leverage ratio requirement, the countercyclical leverage ratio buffer and the additional leverage ratio buffer. Our reported leverage ratio and average leverage ratio disclosed below is unaffected by this announcement as firm’s are required to continue to disclose on the existing rules. The impact of the FPC’s recommendations would have been an improvement to the headroom of c.20bps for the reported leverage ratio and c.10bps for the average leverage ratio.

Leverage

 

 

The leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) primarily driven by an increase in the leverage exposure of £157bn to £1,185bn partially offset by a £3.8bn increase in fully loaded Tier 1 capital to £49.9bn (December 2015: £46.2bn):

 

 

Loans and advances and other assets increased by £104bn to £729bn. The increase was primarily driven by a £42bn increase in cash and balances at central banks due to an increase in the cash element of the Group liquidity pool, a £25bn increase in settlement balances following increased client activity, lending growth of £20bn within Barclays International and Barclays UK, and a £14bn increase in Africa banking assets held for sale reflecting the appreciation of ZAR against GBP

 

 

Reverse repurchase agreements increased £17bn to £95bn, primarily due to an increase in matched book trading

 

 

SFT adjustments increased by £20bn to £36bn, primarily as a result of a change in treatment of securities pre-positioned for use against undrawn central bank lending facilities

 

 

PFE on derivatives increased by £14bn to £143bn primarily driven by the appreciation of major currencies against GBP, partially offset by compression activity, sale of positions and maturity of trades

 

 

Weighted off balance sheet commitments increased by £7bn to £118bn primarily driven the appreciation of major currencies against GBP

The average leverage exposure measure for Q316 was £1,195bn resulting in an average leverage ratio of 4.2%. The CET1 capital held against the 0.175% transitional G-SII ALRB was £2.1bn. There is no current impact for the CCLB for the group.

Notes

 

 

Glossary of terms

‘A-IRB’ / ‘Advanced-Internal Ratings Based’ See ‘Internal Ratings Based (IRB)’.

‘ABS CDO Super Senior’ Super senior tranches of debt linked to collateralised debt obligations of asset backed securities (defined below). Payment of super senior tranches takes priority over other obligations.

‘Acceptances and endorsements’ An acceptance is an undertaking by a bank to pay a bill of exchange drawn on a customer. The Group expects most acceptances to be presented, but reimbursement by the customer is normally immediate. Endorsements are residual liabilities of the Group in respect of bills of exchange which have been paid and subsequently rediscounted.

‘Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital’ In the context of CRD IV, a type of capital as defined in the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR).

‘Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities’ Securities that are treated as additional tier 1 (AT1) capital in the context of CRD IV.

‘Advanced Measurement Approach’ Under CRD IV, operational risk charges can be calculated by using one of three methods (or approaches) that increase in sophistication and risk sensitivity: (i) the Basic Indicator Approach; (ii) the Standardised Approach; and (iii) the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA). Under the AMA the banks are allowed to develop their own empirical model to quantify required capital for operational risk. Banks can only use this approach subject to approval from their local regulators.

‘Africa Banking’ The previously reported Africa Retail and Business Banking combined with other businesses across Africa (excluding the Egypt and Zimbabwe businesses transferred to Barclays Non-Core). The Africa head office function is also included in Barclays Africa. This combined Barclays Africa business is managed under three primary businesses: Retail and Business Banking; Wealth, Investment Management and Insurance; and Corporate and Investment Banking. The resulting Barclays Africa business comprises the Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) listed entity.

‘Agencies’ Bonds issued by state and / or government agencies or government-sponsored entities.

‘Credit risk’ The risk of the Group suffering financial loss if a counterparty fails to fulfil its contractual obligations to the Group under a loan agreement or similar. In the context of Risk Weighted Assets, it is the component of Risk Weighted Assets that represents the risk of loss in loans and advances and similar transactions resulting from the default of the counterparty.

‘Credit Risk Loans (CRLs)’ A loan becomes a credit risk loan when evidence of deterioration has been observed, for example a missed payment or other breach of covenant. A loan may be reported in one of three categories: (i) impaired loans; (ii) accruing past due 90 days or more; and (iii) impaired or restructured loans. These may include loans which, while impaired, are still performing but have associated individual impairment allowances raised against them.

‘Credit risk mitigation’ A range of techniques and strategies to actively mitigate credit risks to which the bank is exposed. These can be broadly divided into three types; collateral, netting and set-off, and risk transfer.

‘Credit spread’ The premium over the benchmark or risk-free rate required by the market to accept a lower credit quality.

‘Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA)’ The difference between the risk-free value of a portfolio of trades and the market value which takes into account the counterparty’s risk of default. The CVA therefore represents an estimate of the adjustment to fair value that a market participant would make to incorporate the credit risk of the counterparty due to any failure to perform on contractual agreements.

‘CRL Coverage’ Impairment allowances as a percentage of total CRL (See ‘Credit Risk Loans’). Also known as the ‘CRL coverage ratio’.

This is to reflect the current market value of the credit risk associated with the counterparty to the Bank. The charge is prescribed by the CRR.

‘Daily Value at Risk (DVaR)’ An estimate of the potential loss which might arise from market movements under normal market conditions, if the current positions were to be held unchanged for one business day, measured to a specified confidence level.

‘DBRS’ A credit rating agency.

‘Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA)’ The opposite of Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA). It is the difference between the risk-free value of a portfolio of trades and the market value which takes into account the Group’s risk of default. The DVA, therefore, represents an estimate of the adjustment to fair value that a market participant would make to incorporate the credit risk of the Group due to any failure to perform on contractual

obligations. The DVA decreases the value of a liability to take into account a reduction in the remaining balance that would be settled should the Group default or not perform any contractual obligations.

There are three categories of EWL, with risk increasing from EWL 1 (caution) to EWL 2 (medium) and EWL 3 (high). It is expected that most cases would be categorised EWL 1 before moving to 2 or 3, but it is recognised that some cases may be categorised to EWL 2 or 3 directly.

‘Early Warning List (EWL) Managed accounts’ EWL Managed accounts are Business Lending customers that exceed the Arrears Managed Accounts limits and are monitored with standard processes that record heightened levels of risk through an EWL grading.

transactions, which may or may not include the exchange of principal amounts. A basis swap is a form of interest rate swap, in which both parties exchange interest payments based on floating rates, where the floating rates are based upon different underlying reference indices. In a forward rate agreement, two parties agree a future settlement of the difference between an agreed rate and a future interest rate, applied to a notional principal amount. The settlement, which generally occurs at the start of the contract period, is the discounted present value of the payment that would otherwise be made at the end of that period.

Advanced IRB (‘A-IRB’): the bank uses its own estimates of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and credit conversion factor to model a given risk exposure.

 

   

Foundation 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.

In the latter case renegotiation can result in an extension of the due date of payment or repayment plans under which the Group offers a concessionary rate of interest to genuinely distressed borrowers. This will result in the asset continuing to be overdue and will be individually impaired where the renegotiated payments of interest and principal will not recover the original carrying amount of the asset. In other cases, renegotiation will lead to a new agreement, which is treated as a new loan.

‘Repricing lag risk’ The risk that when underlying interest rates change it can take a number of months to change the customer rate e.g. should rates decrease then we would need to let our variable savings rate customers know that we would be decreasing their savings rates.

‘Repurchase agreement (Repo)’ / ‘Reverse repurchase agreement (Reverse repo)’ Arrangements that allow counterparties to use financial securities as collateral for an interest bearing cash loan. The borrower agrees to sell a security to the lender subject to a commitment to repurchase the asset at a specified price on a given date.
