Chairman's 2019 AGM Statement
As you know, this AGM will be my last.
Since you know most of the members of our board, let me introduce
our new members, Nigel Higgins, my successor as chairman, and Mary
Anne Citrino, a new non-executive director.
Nigel joined the board on the 1st of
March this year from Rothschild where he was Deputy Chairman of
Rothschild & Co. having been Managing Partner and co-chairman
of the Group's Executive Committee until 1 September last
year.
Nigel
has operated at the most senior level in his profession through a
36-year career at the prestigious firm of Rothschild, which
included being the first non-family member to lead the group.
Aside from his leadership credentials, Nigel's extensive experience
in banking and financial services and his senior investment banking
credentials are highly relevant to the Group.
Additionally,
Mr Higgins is Chairman of Sadler's Wells Opera, and sits on the
Board of the Tetra Laval Group, where he also chairs the board
meetings of its asset management arm. He will retain those
roles upon appointment as Chairman of Barclays.
Mary
Anne Citrino has strong and relevant executive and board-level
experience with a successful executive career with Blackstone and
Morgan Stanley as well as non-executive directorships with HP and
Alcoa. Her career in the financial services sector, brings
appropriate knowledge and perspective to the Board, particularly
given our substantive presence in the wholesale
sector.
With
Mary Anne's appointment, female representation on the Board rose to
27%, which is an important step in achieving our diversity target
of having 33% female representation by 2020.
At last year's AGM, I highlighted we were at an important turning
point in Barclays history. This has proven to have been
correct:
We
have now had a full twelve months of clean and respectable profits,
producing earnings per share of 20 pence, whereas when I joined the
board, we were loss-making, and dividends were paid from
reserves.
At
the same time, we have firmly drawn a line on the past. The
most significant litigation concluded last year, government
sponsored structural reform at considerable cost is behind us, and
major restructuring of the firm is over.
Most
importantly, 2019 is shaping up to be our most profitable and
cleanest statutory year since 2009. The first quarter return
at 9.2%, just below our cost of equity, was an improvement over
2018's full-year pre-litigation and conduct return of 8.5%.
We produced 6.1 pence earnings per share in the quarter, almost
matching last year's full-year dividend, which if continued through
the remainder of the year, would produce earnings per share in the
20s pence range, and would give us capacity to invest as well as
rewarding shareholders.
Our
residual financial position is also good with Capital in line with
regulatory requirements, and with very strong
liquidity.
Certainly, all of this has been a long time coming. It is
understandable given that history, that the market is taking time
to assimilate the implications of the new paradigm and develop the
necessary confidence that the past is fully behind us and the
future brighter.
I have three simple messages for you today:
Firstly,
Barclays has drawn a line on the past and is now back in the
game.
Secondly,
standing back from the short-term noise, Barclays has made real
progress in what has been a difficult climate.
And
finally, we are fitter and putting runs on the board, but recognise
we remain shy of championship fitness and delivery and have plans
in place to remedy this.
Let me now turn to Resolution 24 to appoint Edward Bramson to
the Barclays Board. The Board unanimously does not support
this appointment, which we believe would destabilise the company,
particularly as we have recovered from a turbulent past and have
only recently emerged in a much stronger position. We remain
engaged with Mr. Bramson and his colleagues and are open to further
dialogue. We have always welcomed shareholder input in the
future direction of the Group.
Turning to the subject of climate change, Mr. Staley will set our
position in his remarks. I want to make it clear that
Barclays genuinely takes its responsibility in this respect
seriously, and our policy is a subject of active discussion and
approval by the Board. It is regularly reviewed and debated
by the Reputation Committee of the Board, headed by Mary
Francis.
It is a long-term policy for Barclays to contribute to society's
initiatives in limiting the impact of climate change and we have
taken account of feedback and amended our approach. We
understand the urgency of this matter but the problem we face is
how sensibly to manage the transition from fossil fuels to green
energy. Certainly, we should move urgently from financing the
most carbon intensive forms of energy and have done so. For
some time to come however, renewable sources alone cannot match
demand for energy, and bridging this needs to be met from a range
of fuel sources, including oil and gas. We will commit to
evolve our approach as circumstances change.
At the same time, we are embracing a digital future for the group
and are in a leading position on the use of mobile applications and
the move to cloud-based technology. Barclays is also a major
force in the incubation and use of fintech. While digital
technology is changing people's lives and is bringing untold
benefits, it has also brought cybercrime. At Barclays, we
have made defending against cybercrime one of our most important
and most urgent priorities. Accordingly, we are investing
heavily to protect our customers, our system, our bank and
society. This is a decision not only worth making, but one
where there really is no choice in assuring the long-term future of
the company.
If we reflect on the past few years, it has indeed been a tough
period for the Group. But we have come through it and emerged
in a much stronger, whilst never perfect, position. This
shift could not have been achieved without the leadership of our
Chief Executive, Jes Staley, and his senior team as well as the
contribution of the Board.
On your behalf therefore, I would like to thank the Board, our
management and all our staff for the enormous efforts they have
made to make Barclays a better place.
Recently Sir Gerry Grimstone retired from the Board and we have
three other directors retiring at this AGM in addition to myself,
Reuben Jeffery, Dambisa Moyo and Mike Turner. I would like to
thank them all for their contribution to Barclays and to wish them
well in their new pursuits.
I'm satisfied that I leave a company that is capable and prepared
for the future, in particular to be able to deliver returns to
shareholders not seen for many years.
And finally, since this is my last address as Chairman, it has
indeed been a great privilege for me to have served this great
company and you as shareholders, and I thank you for allowing me to
do so. I will of course continue to be a strong advocate for
the company.
I commend my successor, Nigel Higgins to you. The Board has
made an excellent choice, and I have every confidence that Nigel
will be a superb steward of the Board and your
Company. Thank you.
Now let me now hand over to our Chief Executive, Jes
Staley.
Chief Executive's 2019 AGM statement
Thank you John, and good morning everyone.
I am delighted to be here at what is my fourth Annual General
Meeting as Group Chief Executive of Barclays.
At my first AGM in April of 2016, we outlined our strategy to
capitalise on Barclays' strengths as a transatlantic consumer and
wholesale bank, anchored in London and New York.
That strategy was then - as it is today - about making this company
fit for the future.
It is about delivering the sustainable and consistent Returns that
you rightly expect.
And as a result of the choices we have made, we are now finally
approaching a position to reward your patience.
2018 was a very significant year for Barclays.
We resolved the last major legacy conduct issues, including
reaching a settlement with the US Department of Justice in relation
to Residential Mortgage Backed Securities, and having the Serious
Fraud Office's charges against the bank relating to our 2008
capital raisings dismissed.
And we reduced the drag from low returning businesses.
I am pleased to say that we saw an improved performance across the
Group compared to 2017.
Excluding litigation and conduct, profit before tax was up 20% and
earnings per share were 21.9 pence.
The Group Return on Tangible Equity was 8.5% - versus 5.6% in 2017
- and this is close to our 2019 financial target of greater than
9%. Achieving that target in 2019 remains a
priority.
We also launched Barclays Execution Services - or 'BX', as we call
it - in 2018.
This is the part of the bank that manages all of the processes and
technology, which allow us to deliver products and services to
customers and clients.
BX has driven greater efficiency throughout the Group. It has
enhanced our ability to control and adjust our cost base, while
also creating capacity for investment in future
growth.
Flexibility in our expense line gives us the means as a management
team to help meet the targets we have made to shareholders on
Returns.
For example, you may recall that in 2016 we took a charge of just
under 400 million pounds to allow us to better align variable
compensation costs - bonus funding - with the firm's
revenues.
What you can see in the first Quarter results announced last week
is Barclays using this discretion around variable compensation to
manage our costs down, and that helped to deliver expected
profitability.
The Group earned 1 billion pounds of Attributable Profit in the
first three months of this year. We earned 6.1 pence per
share.
Profit before tax was 1.5 billion pounds, driven by a 3% reduction
in costs, versus a 2% reduction in revenues.
Barclays UK produced another very solid quarter.
Within the Corporate & Investment Bank, whilst banking fees
were weak, for the sixth consecutive quarter we out-performed our
US peers on average in the Markets business, which, like Q1 last
year, generated a double-digit Return on Tangible
Equity.
Your management team is very aware of the execution challenges we
must still meet in order to deliver acceptable Returns and on a
consistent basis, particularly in the Corporate & Investment
Bank.
We are confident however that we can meet the challenge, given the
enormity of what we faced three years ago.
A 9.6% Return on Tangible Equity in the first Quarter of this year
is a good step towards delivering our objective of
greater than 9% in 2019.
The strength at the core of the model we have built is
diversification - not only between our consumer and wholesale
businesses, but also by geography, by product, and by
currency.
Take UK retail and business banking.
We serve 23 million customers and a million small businesses in a
market where we have roots going back 328 years.
At the same time, we have an enviable position in the fast-growing
international cards and payments space in the UK, US, and in
Europe.
And we are a strong and profitable global player in corporate and
investment banking, anchored in the world's deepest and most
sophisticated capital markets of London and New York.
Our diversified model gives us balance. And that balance can
produce consistent and attractive returns through an economic
cycle. It is also a more robust model for any modern
financial services business.
A decade after the financial crisis, I am very confident that
Barclays today would be well prepared to weather any major shocks
in the future.
Of course, one area where performance progress has unfortunately
not been reflected thus far is in total shareholder return.
And we are working to address that.
Future earnings should now be focused on returns for shareholders
and investment in the growth of Barclays, rather than being
absorbed by restructuring costs, capital accumulation, or
litigation and conduct charges. £
And that progress - to be in this position - has been accomplished
through the hard work of our employees these past three
years.
Their effort says much about the culture of Barclays today - with
colleagues driven by a deep commitment to help customers, clients,
and wider society, to rise and succeed.
You can see that in the work we do in Citizenship, through
programmes like Lifeskills; Connect with Work; and Unreasonable
Impact - where we are supporting people into employment,
or
in the colleague reaction to our recent announcement of the title
sponsorship of the Barclays FA Women's Super League. This
represents the largest ever investment in women's sport in the UK,
and will also see us supporting girls' football programmes in
nearly 6,000 schools up and down the
country.
We see it in the work our people do to back the economy here in our
home market, the United Kingdom, particularly as uncertainty around
Brexit continues.
Whether that's our £14bn lending fund for smaller businesses,
or the more than 100 business clinics we ran in communities across
the country to give advice to companies on how to cope with Brexit,
or in the daily support our relationship managers give to
businesses trying to navigate these uncertain times.
We know that it is the local entrepreneurs, the farmers, the
manufacturers, the house-builders, and countless other businesses
that will help the UK to deal with a period of profound
change. And we are here to help them do exactly
that.
Now, let me turn to a matter which has been the subject of
successive years of discussion and debate, both here at this
meeting, and in ongoing dialogue with stakeholders. The issue of
climate change.
Last year at this meeting we committed to produce a statement that
would comprehensively explain Barclays' stance on Energy &
Climate Change.
This was to include:
●
what
we are doing to mitigate our impact on the environment as a major
corporation;
●
what
are we doing to support the growth of the green economy and
technologies; and
●
our
role as a responsible banker to the energy sector.
We published our statement at the beginning of this year, and I
invite you to read it in full on our website at
home.barclays.
The fundamental underpinning of the policy is that Barclays is
determined to do what we can to support the transition to a low
carbon economy, while also ensuring that global energy needs
continue to be met.
We are already doing a considerable amount to support that
transition to a low carbon economy, and let me give you some
examples.
In 2018 we facilitated over £27
billion in financing for social and environmental segments around
the world, including issuing green bonds and renewable
financing.
We launched the first green mortgage by a mainstream UK bank,
helping hundreds of British customers to buy highly energy
efficient homes thus far.
We were proud to recently provide £118
million of debt facilities for a new build 'Energy from Waste'
Power Plant in Bedfordshire. Once constructed, it will produce
enough low carbon energy each year to power tens of thousands of
homes. And it will do that through processing more than half a
million tonnes of waste annually that would otherwise be diverted
to landfill. It's also creating welcome employment in the local
economy.
And in the last few weeks we launched a Green Agriculture product
which has seen us already lend millions to UK farmers to buy new
environmentally friendly plant and equipment.
Apart from our support for the green economy, we have also set out
clear restrictions on carbon-intensive energy sectors.
For example:
●
We
have ruled out financing oil or gas exploration in the
Arctic;
●
We
no longer finance greenfield thermal coal mining activity;
and
●
We
have introduced new enhanced checks on all transactions related to
the exploration, extraction, transportation or processing of oil
sands output.
We're consciously reducing our own carbon footprint, with a
commitment to procure 100% renewable energy for every Barclays site
by 2030.
We have established a dedicated taskforce, as part of our formal
governance, to consider and act on the Environmental and Social
Impact agenda of the company - chaired by me as Group
CEO.
We also welcome and fully support the Bank of England's decision to
commit to deliver the objectives of the Network for Greening the
Financial System. That includes designating Climate Change as a
Financial Stability Risk.
Put simply, Barclays fully understands our corporate responsibility
in respect of climate change. We are a supporter of the goals of
the Paris accord. And we will keep our policy position under
constant review to ensure that our actions align with those
goals.
In a related matter, you may also recall that we gave an
undertaking last year to divest Barclays' controlling interest in
Third Energy - a company which holds a licence to frack in
Yorkshire.
I'm pleased to say that it was announced last week that we no
longer own Third Energy.
Finally, before I close, I want to pay tribute to our retiring
Chairman, John McFarlane.
John took on the Chairmanship of the Group during a period of
tumultuous change for financial services, and for this bank in
particular.
Barclays, and I personally, have been fortunate to benefit from his
wisdom, his challenge, his courage to make tough calls, and his
steadfast leadership for four years.
On behalf of colleagues across the bank, I would like to thank John
for his stewardship, and to wish him, his wife Ann, and the rest of
his family, every happiness following his retirement at the close
of our meeting today.
It is due in no small part to John that we find Barclays in a more
positive position today, with opportunity in front of
us.
While we've got more still to do, our turnaround is complete, and
our strategy is now delivering.
And as a result, we are able to focus on improving returns to you,
our shareholders, over time. That is what we intend to
do.
Thank you.
