Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the six months ended 30 June 2022 to the corresponding six months of 2021 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 June 2022 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2021 and 30 June 2021. The historical financial information used for the purposes of such analysis has been restated. Please refer to Note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements contained herein for further information. 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.

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 27 July 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 115 to 123 for further information and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

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. 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 levels, assets and liabilities, impairment charges, provisions, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in banking and financial markets, projected expenditures, costs or savings, any commitments and targets (including, without limitation, environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and targets), business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations, group structure, IFRS impacts and other statements that are not historical or current facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. 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, regulation and the interpretation thereof, the development of IFRS and other accounting standards, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting standards, emerging and developing ESG reporting standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations and any related impact on 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 incidents or similar events beyond the Group’s control, 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; volatility in credit and capital markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; changes in counterparty risk; changes in consumer behaviour; 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; the Group’s ability to access funding; and the success of 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, as amended, for the financial 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 profit before tax of £3.7bn and return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 10.1%, with a half year dividend of 2.25p per share and intends to initiate a further share buyback of up to £500m

C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, commented

“This has been a strong first half with Group income up 17%1 to £13.2bn and a RoTE of 10.1%.

The broad-based income growth that we achieved in the first quarter continued across all three operating businesses into the second quarter.

Our performance in the first half shows the resilience and advantage that diversification at all levels brings, both across the bank and within our businesses. It also underlines the value of investment into our three strategic priorities in next generation consumer finance, sustainable growth across the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB), and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Profit before tax was £3.7bn, and attributable profit was £2.5bn, after absorbing charges net of tax of £0.6bn relating to the Over-issuance of Securities.

We are alert to the pressure that the rising cost of living will have on our customers and colleagues. We have a range of measures in place to help and are looking to do more. With our resilient income growth and balance sheet strength, we can provide that support while distributing excess capital, having announced a half year dividend of 2.25p per share and an intention to initiate a further share buyback of £500m.”

Key financial metrics:

	Income	Cost: income ratio	Profit before tax	Attributable profit	RoTE	EPS	CET1 ratio	TNAV per share	Total capital return
H122	£13.2bn	69%	£3.7bn	£2.5bn	10.1%	14.8p	13.6%	297p	c.5.25p equivalent
Q222	£6.7bn	75%	£1.5bn	£1.1bn	8.7%	6.4p

H122 performance2:

●

Attributable profit was £2.5bn (H121: £3.8bn) and RoTE was 10.1% (H121: 16.1%) having reflected a £0.6bn net of tax impact for the Over-issuance of Securities in the US (Over-issuance of Securities3). Excluding this impact, RoTE was 12.5%

●

£0.6bn impact of Over-issuance of Securities is comprised of:

●

£0.4bn post tax expected net impact of the rescission offer losses, driven by £1.3bn of costs as a result of market movements and interest, substantially offset by £0.8bn of income from hedging arrangements

●

£0.2bn of costs relating to an estimated monetary penalty from the SEC

●

Excluding the impact of Over-issuance of Securities:

●

Group income was £12.4bn, up 10% year-on-year, driven by strong client activity in Markets, recovery in both Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) and Barclays UK more than offsetting the impact of a weak fee pool in Investment Banking

●

Group costs were £7.7bn (H121: £7.2bn) including other litigation and conduct charges of £0.4bn (H121: £0.1bn), with operating costs (excluding litigation and conduct) up 2% year-on-year

●

On a statutory basis, including the impacts of Over-issuance of Securities:

●

Group income was £13.2bn, up 17% year-on-year, including the £0.8bn of income from hedging arrangements related to the Over-issuance of Securities

●

Credit impairment charges were £0.3bn (H121: £0.7bn net release) with provision levels broadly retained in light of an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop

●

Group costs were £9.1bn (H121: £7.3bn), including litigation and conduct charges of £1.9bn (H121: £0.2bn), including £1.5bn estimated impact of rescission offer losses in relation to the Over-Issuance of Securities and associated estimated monetary penalty from the SEC

●

Capital: Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.6% (December 2021: 15.1% and March 2022: 13.8%) and tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share of 297p (December 2021: 291p and March 2022: 294p)

●

Increased capital distributions: total capital return equivalent of c.5.25p per share, including a half year dividend of 2.25p per share. Intend to initiate a further share buyback of up to £0.5bn, which is expected to have a c.15bps CET1 ratio impact

1

Excluding the Q222 income benefit of £0.8bn from hedging arrangements related to the Over-issuance of Securities, Group income was up 10% to £12.4bn.

2021 financial and capital metrics have been restated to reflect the impact of the Over-issuance of Securities. See Basis of preparation on page 65 and Restatement of financial statements (Note 1) on page 87 for more information.

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 £1.3bn of litigation and conduct charges in Q222 and the appreciation of average USD against GBP, Barclays now expects FY22 total operating expenses to be around £16.7bn1 versus previous outlook of £15.0bn2

●

Impairment: while acknowledging macroeconomic uncertainty, the impairment charge is expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels in coming quarters given reduced unsecured lending balances and existing 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 with buybacks as appropriate. Dividends will continue to be paid semi-annually, with the half year dividend expected to represent, under normal circumstances, around one-third of the total dividend for the year

Group cost outlook is based on an average USD/GBP FX rate of 1.23 across H222 and subject to foreign currency movements.

Previous FY22 Group cost outlook was based on an average USD/GBP FX rate of 1.31 throughout 2022.

Group Finance Director's Review

Group performance1, 2

●

Barclays' diversified model delivered a profit before tax of £3,733m (H121: £4,902m), RoTE of 10.1% (H121: 16.1%), and earnings per share (EPS) of 14.8p (H121: 21.9p)

●

Total income increased to £13,204m (H121: £11,315m). Barclays UK income increased 5%. Barclays International income increased 21%, with CIB income up 21% and CC&P income up 20%. Excluding the income benefit of £758m from hedging arrangements related to the Over-issuance of Securities, total Group income was £12,446m, up 10% year-on-year, Barclays International income was £9,182m, up 12% year-on-year and CIB income was £7,213m, up 10% year-on-year

●

Credit impairment charges were £341m (H121: £742m net release) reflecting low flows to delinquency and an improved UK employment outlook, partially offset by a day one charge relating to the acquisition of the GAP Inc. US credit card portfolio (the GAP portfolio). Expert judgement post-model adjustments have been maintained to incorporate customer affordability and inflationary headwinds

●

Total operating expenses increased to £9,127m (H121: £7,308m). Operating costs increased 2% to £7,270m, reflecting continued investment and business growth, the impact of inflation and the appreciation of average USD against GBP, partially offset by efficiency savings and the non-recurrence of structural cost actions, primarily relating to the real estate review in June 2021. Litigation and conduct charges were £1,857m (H121: £176m) including £1,304m estimated impact of rescission offer losses in relation to the Over-Issuance of Securities and £165m associated estimated monetary penalty from the SEC, £181m of customer remediation costs relating to a legacy loan portfolio in CC&P and £165m related to settlements in principle in respect of industry-wide devices investigations by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)3. This resulted in a cost: income ratio of 69% (H121: 65%)

●

The effective tax rate (ETR) was 22.0% (H121: 15.1%). 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 12.8% which included a 5.8% benefit relating to adjustments in respect of prior years

●

Attributable profit was £2,475m (H121: £3,752m) including the net impact of the Over-issuance of Securities net of tax, of £581m, of which £341m was in Q222

●

Total assets increased to £1,589bn (December 2021: £1,384bn) primarily due to an increase in client and trading activity, and growth in the liquidity pool

●

TNAV per share increased to 297p (December 2021: 291p) primarily reflecting 14.8p of EPS, partially offset by net negative reserve movements driven by higher interest rates

Group capital and leverage1

●

The CET1 ratio decreased by c.150bps to 13.6% (December 2021: 15.1%) as capital decreased by £0.6bn to £46.7bn and RWAs increased by £30.4bn to £344.5bn

●

c.80bps reduction to the CET1 ratio due to the expected impact of regulatory change on 1 January 2022 as CET1 capital decreased £1.7bn and RWAs increased £6.6bn

●

c.30bps reduction due to the £1bn buyback announced with FY21 results, which is well progressed

●

c.40bps reduction due to the impact of the Over-issuance of Securities. c.20bps due to the £0.6bn net of tax impact reducing CET1 capital and c.20bps due to a £4.5bn temporary increase in RWAs reflecting the hedging arrangements designed to manage the risk of the rescission offer. The hedging related RWAs are expected to reverse after the rescission offer is completed in Q322

●

Excluding the impacts above, an increase in CET1 capital of £2.7bn was offset by a £19.3bn increase in RWAs:

●

The £2.7bn increase in CET1 capital reflects profits and an increase in the currency translation reserve, offset by an accrual toward a FY22 dividend, equity coupons paid, and a decrease in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve

●

The £19.3bn increase in RWAs was primarily due to the appreciation of USD against GBP, increased client activity within CIB and higher CC&P balances mainly driven by the GAP portfolio acquisition. This was marginally offset by the partial disposal of Barclays' equity stake in Absa Group Limited (Absa) in April 2022

●

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% (December 2021: 5.2%) primarily due to an increase in the leverage exposure of £13.3bn to £1,151.2bn

1

2021 financial and capital metrics have been restated to reflect the impact of the Over-issuance of Securities. See Basis of preparation on page 65 and Restatement of financial statements (Note 1) on page 87 for more information.

2

The 6% appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses.

3

See 'Other matters' on page 6 for further details.

Group funding and liquidity

●

The liquidity pool was £343bn (December 2021: £291bn) and the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) remained significantly above the 100% regulatory requirement at 156% (December 2021: 168%), equivalent to a surplus of £119bn (December 2021: £116bn). The increase in the liquidity 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 £181.5bn (December 2021: £167.5bn). The Group issued £3.5bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in the year to date. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 30.9% of RWAs which is in excess of its regulatory requirement of 28.5%, excluding the confidential institution specific PRA buffer. The Group remains above its MREL regulatory requirement including the PRA buffer

Other matters

●

Over-issuance of Securities: since 31 March 2022, the following developments should be noted with respect to the Over-issuance of Securities:

●

On 23 May 2022, Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC filed amendments to their respective Annual Reports on Form 20-F to, among other matters, restate the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 to reflect certain impacts of the Over-issuance of Securities

●

On 23 May 2022, Barclays Bank PLC filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the SEC, which was automatically effective and under which an unlimited amount of securities may be registered, on the basis that Barclays Bank PLC is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (the “2022 F-3”). Barclays PLC also has an automatic shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC on 1 March 2021

●

On 1 August 2022, Barclays Bank PLC intends to launch an offer to rescind the purchase of securities that were issued in excess of Barclays Bank PLC’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 declared effective by the SEC in 2019 (2019 F-3) and the predecessor US shelf registration statement filed in 2018 (Predecessor Shelf) by certain purchasers who purchased such securities in a distribution from Barclays Bank PLC during certain relevant periods (the rescission offer)

●

Following the launch of the rescission offer, Barclays Bank PLC is expected to resume issuances and sales of series of iPath ETNs that were not affected by the rescission offer. Barclays Bank PLC further expects to resume issuances and sales of the remaining series of iPath ETNs when the rescission offer has been completed and settlement of the rescission offer with respect to the relevant series has occurred

●

Barclays has recognised a H122 attributable profit impact of £581m relating to this matter net of tax, including a £1,304m charge recognised in costs, substantially offset by hedging arrangements which generated income of £758m, as well as an estimated monetary penalty from the SEC of £165m

●

The total balance sheet provision as at 30 June 2022 was £1,757m, of which: £1,592m relates to the estimated rescission offer losses and £165m relates to an estimated SEC monetary penalty. Barclays also expects temporary RWAs of £4.5bn, which translates to a c.20bps reduction in the CET1 ratio, from the hedging arrangements to reverse after the rescission offer has been completed in Q322

●

Barclays also expects the Review (see pages 25-26 for more detail), assisted by external counsel, of the facts and circumstances related to this matter to conclude shortly and will continue to engage with regulators

●

SEC and CFTC devices investigation: in July 2022, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) reached an agreement in principle with the staff of the SEC's Division of Enforcement and the staff of CFTC in connection with investigations by the SEC and the CFTC of Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other financial institutions as part of a financial industry sweep regarding compliance with record-keeping obligations in connection with business-related communications sent over unapproved electronic messaging platforms (the Devices Settlements In Principle). The SEC and the CFTC found that Barclays Bank PLC and BCI failed to comply with their respective record keeping and supervisory obligations, where such communications were sent or received by employees over electronic messaging channels that had not been approved by the bank for business use by employees. The proposed resolution with the SEC and the CFTC will include Barclays Bank PLC and BCI paying a combined $125m civil monetary penalty to the SEC and a $75m civil monetary penalty to the CFTC. Subject to final agreement of the terms of the settlements and related documentation, as well as the SEC's and CFTC's approval, the civil monetary penalties are expected to be paid during the third quarter of 2022

●

GAP portfolio acquisition: on 21 June 2022, Barclays completed the acquisition of a US credit card portfolio of $3.3bn of receivables, in partnership with GAP Inc. The acquisition reduced the Group CET1 ratio by approximately 15bps. The partnership broadens Barclays product offering in the retail sector and store cards, advancing our strategy and growth ambitions in the United States

●

Kensington Mortgage Company acquisition: on 24 June 2022 Barclays PLC announced that Barclays Bank UK PLC has agreed to acquire UK specialist mortgage lender Kensington Mortgage Company Limited, thereby broadening Barclays' capabilities and product offering in the UK mortgage market. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete in late Q422 or early Q123

●

Legacy Loan Portfolio: a customer remediation provision of £181m was recognised in Q122 in relation to a legacy timeshare loan portfolio brokered by Azure Services Limited (ASL). The provision represents the best estimate as at 30 June 2022. 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 (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 (£516m1)

●

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. Following the PRA's statement on 13 April 2022, Barclays is planning to unwind these transactions, which would result in a c.30bps reduction to the CET1 ratio, being accelerated to Q422 from 2023, 2024 and 2025. For more details, see note 16 on page 103

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

●

Announced a half year dividend of 2.25p per share and intention to initiate a further share buyback of up to £500m

●

Dividends will continue to be paid semi-annually, with the half year dividend expected to represent, under normal circumstances, around one-third of the total dividend for the year

●

The £1.0bn buyback programme announced in FY21 results is expected to complete before the end of September 2022

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%

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 17.0% (H121: 20.6%), and a lower cost: income ratio of 62% (H121: 67%), reflecting improved income performance across Personal Banking and Business Banking, alongside reduced total operating expenses, while impairment returned to a charge following a net release in H121. Barclays UK remains well positioned, with a strong focus on supporting customers in an increasingly difficult and uncertain environment.

Income statement - H122 compared to H121

●

Profit before tax decreased to £1,217m (H121: £1,506m). RoTE was 17.0% (H121: 20.6%) reflecting the non-recurrence of a prior year credit impairment release, partially offset by the rising rate environment in the UK

●     Total income increased 5% to £3,373m. Net interest income increased 6% to £2,732m with a net interest margin (NIM) of 2.67% (H121: 2.54%) primarily driven by the rising interest rate environment in the UK. Net fee, commission and other income increased 5% to £641m

●

Personal Banking income increased 10% to £2,099m, driven by rising interest rates and the benefit of strong mortgage origination in 2021, partially offset by mortgage margin compression

●

Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 11% to £541m 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 7% to £733m driven by rising interest rates alongside improved transaction based revenues, partially offset by lower government scheme lending income as repayments continue

●

Credit impairment charge of £48m (H121: £443m net release) driven by low flows to delinquency, improved UK employment data and reduced uncertainty around the possible effects of COVID-19, offset by increased concerns around customers' vulnerability to high inflation. As at 30 June 2022, 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK cards were 1.0% (H121: 1.4%) and 0.2% (H121: 0.6%) respectively. The credit card and consumer loan businesses maintain appropriate provision levels in light of affordability headwinds, as reflected in a total coverage ratio of 9.2% (December 2021: 10.9%)

●

Total operating expenses decreased 1% to £2,108m driven by lower operational costs and efficiency savings, partially offset by increased investment spend and the impact of inflation

Balance sheet - 30 June 2022 compared to 31 December 2021

●

Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost decreased 1% to £205.9bn as £1.5bn of mortgage growth was more than offset by a £4.7bn 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 £261.5bn, maintaining a strong loan: deposit ratio of 85% (December 2021: 85%)

●

RWAs remained stable at £72.2bn (December 2021: £72.3bn)

Includes £145bn (H121: £129bn) of merchant acquiring payments.

Barclays International delivered a RoTE of 11.5% reflecting the benefits of being a diversified business. CIB delivered a RoTE of 11.9% reflecting a strong performance in FICC, partially offset by a decrease in Investment Banking fees, against a strong prior year comparative, and provisions for litigation and conduct. CC&P RoTE decreased to 8.5% as an increase in income was offset by a provision for higher customer remediation costs relating to a legacy loan portfolio and continued investment in the business.

Income statement - H122 compared to H1211

●

Profit before tax decreased 26% to £2,769m with a RoTE of 11.5% (H121: 16.3%), reflecting a RoTE of 11.9% (H121: 15.9%) in CIB and 8.5% (H121: 19.1%) in CC&P

●

The 6% appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits and adversely impacted impairment charges and total operating expenses

●

CIB income increased 21% to £7,971m reflecting the benefit of a diversified business model and impact of hedging arrangements

Investment Banking fees income decreased 31% to £1,202m due to the reduced fee pool, particularly in Equity capital markets2, and a strong prior year comparative

●

Within Corporate, Transaction banking income increased 34% to £1,055m driven by deposit balance growth, improved margins and higher payments volumes. Corporate lending income decreased 68% to £78m due to losses on certain fair value lending positions and higher costs of hedging and credit protection, partially offset by the non-recurrence of a prior year fair value loan write-off on a single name

●

CC&P income increased 20% to £1,969m

●

International Cards and Consumer Bank income increased 17% to £1,229m as higher average cards balances were partially offset by higher customer acquisition costs

●

Private Bank income increased 17% to £459m, reflecting client balance growth and improved margins partially offset by the non-recurrence of a gain on a property sale in the prior year

●

Payments income increased 39% to £281m driven by turnover growth following the easing of lockdown restrictions in the past year

●

Credit impairment charges were £310m (H121: £293m net release)

●

●

CC&P credit impairment charges increased to £278m (H121: £21m net release) driven by higher balances in US cards, including the day one impact of acquiring the GAP portfolio, partially offset by lower provisions held for uncertainty.

●

Total operating expenses increased 44% to £6,874m

●

CIB total operating expenses increased 51% to £5,423m. Operating costs increased 8% to £3,791m driven by investment in talent, systems and technology, and the impact of inflation.

Balance sheet - 30 June 2022 compared to 31 December 2021

Trading portfolio assets decreased £20.0bn to £126.9bn due to a reduction in equity securities driven by facilitation of client activity, partially offset by increased trading activity in debt securities

●

Derivative assets and liabilities increased £82.0bn and £64.8bn respectively to £343.5bn and £321.2bn driven by market volatility and increased activity in FICC and Equities

●

Financial assets at fair value through the income statement increased £21.1bn to £209.3bn driven by increased secured lending

●

Deposits at amortised cost increased £48.6bn to £307.4bn primarily due to an increase in short-term money market deposits and growth in Corporate deposits

Income statement - H122 compared to H121

●

Loss before tax was £253m (H121: £370m)

●

Total income was an expense of £109m (H121: £102m expense) which primarily reflected hedge accounting, funding costs on legacy capital instruments, treasury items as well as a £42m loss on sale from the partial disposal of Barclays’ equity stake in Absa in April 2022. This was partially offset by a one-off gain of £86m from the sale and leaseback of UK data centres and the recognition of dividends on Barclays’ equity stake in Absa

●

Total operating expenses reduced to £145m (H121: £405m) reflecting the non-recurrence of the £266m charge related to structural cost actions taken as part of the real estate review in June 2021

●

Other net income was an expense of £16m (H121: £131m income) driven by a fair value loss in Barclays associate investment holding in the Business Growth Fund

Balance sheet - 30 June 2022 compared to 31 December 2021

●

RWAs reduced to £8.6bn (December 2021: £11.0bn) reflecting the partial sale of Barclays' equity stake in Absa in April 2022. The sale resulted in an increase to Barclays' CET1 ratio of c.10bps

Risk Management

Risk management and principal risks

The roles and responsibilities of the business groups, Risk and Compliance in the management of risk in the Group are defined in the Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The purpose of the framework is to identify the principal risks of the Group, the process by which the Group sets its appetite for these risks in its business activities, and the consequent limits which it places on related risk taking. The framework identifies nine principal risks: credit risk, market risk, treasury and capital risk, climate risk, operational risk, model risk, conduct risk, reputation risk and legal risk. Further detail on the Group’s principal risks and previously identified material existing and emerging risks and how such risks are managed is available in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021 (pages 202 to 223), or online at home.barclays/annualreport. There have been no significant changes to these principal risks or previously identified material existing and emerging risks in the period other than as set out below.

Material existing and emerging risks

Set out below are details of two additional material risks identified in H122 which potentially impact one or more principal risks.

Internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures

The Group is subject to requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, to perform system and process evaluation and testing of its internal control over financial reporting to allow management to assess the effectiveness of its internal controls. In connection with the offer and sale of securities by Barclays Bank PLC in excess of the amounts registered under the 2019 F-3 and Predecessor Shelf (see “Over-issuance of US securities under Barclays Bank PLC's US shelf registration statements” below), management has concluded that the Group had a material weakness in relation to certain aspects of its internal control environment and that, as a consequence, its internal control over financial reporting as at 31 December 2021 was not effective under the applicable Committee of Sponsoring Organizations Framework and its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as at such date. The material weakness that has been identified relates to a weakness in controls over the identification of external regulatory limits related to securities issuance and monitoring against these limits. As a result of this weakness, Barclays Bank PLC issued securities in excess of the amounts under the US shelf registration statements referred to above.

Remediation efforts have begun and the Group is taking steps to strengthen internal controls relating to securities issuance to address the material weakness. However, internal control systems (no matter how well designed) have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect further misstatements or errors (whether of a similar or different character to the foregoing). If the Group fails to maintain an effective internal control environment or its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, the Group could suffer material misstatements in its financial statements and fail to meet its reporting obligations, which could cause investors to lose confidence in the Group's reported financial information. This could in turn limit the Group's access to capital markets, negatively impact its results of operations, and lead to a negative impact on the trading price of its securities. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose the Group to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject it to potential regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. Any of the foregoing could have a material 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 Barclays Bank PLC's US shelf registration statements

The Group may be subject to claims for rescission or damages and regulatory enforcement actions in connection with certain sales of securities issued by Barclays Bank PLC materially in excess of the amounts set forth in prior registration statements as set out under “Internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures” above.

The securities that were issued in excess of these amounts comprise structured notes and exchange traded notes (ETNs). As such, certain offers and sales were not made in compliance with the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), giving rise to rights of rescission for certain purchasers of the securities. As a result, Barclays Bank PLC has elected to make a rescission offer (Rescission Offer) to eligible purchasers of the relevant affected securities, which it intends to launch on 1 August 2022.

As previously disclosed, the Group is conducting a review (the Review), assisted by external counsel, of the facts and circumstances relating to the sale of the relevant affected securities in excess of amounts registered under such US shelf registration statements and, among other things, the control environment related to such sales. The Review is at an advanced stage and reports on its progress have been made to the Group’s management team, the Group Board, and regulators, including the SEC Divisions of Enforcement and Corporation Finance. Such reports have included, among other things: (i) an assessment that the issuance of securities in excess of the maximum aggregate offering price for BBPLC’s 2019 US Shelf resulted from a failure to monitor issuances during the period in which Barclays Bank PLC’s status changed from a “well-known seasoned issuer” to an “ineligible issuer” for US securities law purposes, which required Barclays Bank PLC to pre-register a set amount of securities to be issued under its US Shelf with the SEC; (ii) confirmation that the Review has not identified any evidence of intentional misconduct; and (iii) the discovery that, while the vast majority of the over-issuance occurred under the 2019 US Shelf, a small portion of the over-issuance also occurred under the Predecessor Shelf.

The Group is also conducting an internal review involving a five-year look-back at limits in other issuance programmes. Management has assessed as remote the risk of material financial impact associated with issuance limits other than where pre-registration of securities is required; therefore the focus of the review has been on programmes with external regulatory limits related to securities issuance. This review has not identified any other breach of an external regulatory limit in any issuance programme used by a member of the Group. Management has identified an instance where a limit imposed solely for internal governance reasons was exceeded when taking into account a large security held on the Group's own balance sheet issued under a non-SEC registered debt issuance programme which did not have an external limit, although the breach of the internal limit did not give rise to any rights on the part of investors and did not constitute a material weakness. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the ongoing internal or external counsel reviews will not identify additional facts and information that could be material to an evaluation of this aspect of the Group's control environment.

Under Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act, certain purchasers of unregistered securities have a right to recover, upon the tender of such security, the consideration paid for such security with interest, less the amount of any income received, or damages if the purchaser no longer owns the security (Rescission Price). Pursuant to the Rescission Offer, Barclays Bank PLC will offer to repurchase the relevant affected securities at the Rescission Price. Although the Rescission Offer is expected to reduce liability with respect to potential private civil claims, it will not necessarily prevent such claims from being asserted against Barclays Bank PLC and/or its affiliates, including claims under applicable US federal securities laws.

Further, the Rescission Offer does not bar the SEC or other authorities from pursuing enforcement actions against Barclays Bank PLC and its affiliates, which are expected to result in fines, penalties and/or other sanctions. The Group is engaged with, and responding to inquiries and requests for information from, various regulators, including the SEC. The SEC’s investigation into this matter is at an advanced stage and the Group has had preliminary discussions with the staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement about resolving this matter.

As at 30 June 2022, Barclays PLC has recognised a balance sheet provision of £1,757m (December 2021: £220m) in relation to this matter, out of which £1,592m (December 2021: £220m) relates to the over-issuance of structured notes and £165m (December 2021: nil) relates to liabilities that could be incurred arising out of ongoing discussions in respect of a potential SEC resolution. A contingent liability exists in relation to the 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 civil claims or enforcement actions taken against Barclays Bank PLC and its affiliates but Barclays Bank PLC is unable to assess the likelihood of liabilities that may arise out of such claims or actions, there is currently no indication of the exact timing for resolution and it is not practicable to provide an estimate of the financial effects.

The final cost of the Rescission Offer will be impacted by a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions. Prior to the completion of the Rescission Offer, the amount of the provision in relation to the over-issuance of structured notes will fluctuate, perhaps materially, due, in part, to the volatility of the market prices for the structured notes subject to the Rescission Offer. While Barclays Bank PLC and/or its affiliates have entered into hedging arrangements designed to minimise the volatility, such arrangements cannot by their very nature completely hedge the exposures, which may mean the final impact of the Rescission Offer may materially differ from the £1,592m provision reflected as at 30 June 2022. In addition, the hedging arrangements may be modified, may not prove effective (in existing or modified form), may expire prior to the end of the Rescission Offer and do not cover any other losses arising out of potential private civil claims or enforcement actions. The provision of £165m in relation to the potential SEC resolution may also be impacted by the ultimate outcome of the ongoing discussions. Any of the foregoing could result in material additional losses for the Group.

Any liabilities, claims or actions in connection with the over-issuance of securities under the 2019 F-3 and the Predecessor Shelf could have a material 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.

Management has concluded that, by virtue of the fact that there was a weakness in controls over the identification of external regulatory limits related to securities issuance and monitoring against these limits, the Group had a material weakness in relation to certain aspects of its internal control environment and, as a consequence, its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as at 31 December 2021 were not effective. Further details on such material weakness are set out under “Internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures” above.

Loans and advances at amortised cost by stage

The table below presents an analysis of loans and advances at amortised cost by gross exposure, impairment allowance, impairment charge and coverage ratio by stage allocation and business segment as at 30 June 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 30 June 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.

Loans and advances at amortised cost by selected sectors

The table below presents a breakdown of drawn exposure and impairment allowance for loans and advances at amortised cost with stage allocation for selected industry sectors within the wholesale loans portfolio. As the nature of macroeconomic uncertainty has evolved from the COVID-19 pandemic towards high inflation, supply chain constraints and consumer demand headwinds, so has the selected population under management focus.

The gross loans and advances to selected sectors have remained stable over the year. The small increase in provisions is informed by the improved macroeconomic outlook used in the Q222 scenario refresh, offset by management judgments to reflect the risk of uncertainty still prevailing within these sectors. The wholesale portfolio also benefits from a hedge protection programme that enables effective risk management against credit losses. An additional £0.1bn (December 2021: £0.1bn) impairment allowance has been applied to the undrawn exposures not included in the table below.

UK Commercial real estate exposure continues to remain well collateralised, however it has been included within the latest selected sector scoping as the broader real estate sector remains under pressure due to pricing and affordability concerns, as well as construction input costs and supply chain issues adding to the uncertainty, in particular across non-investment grade exposures.

The coverage ratio for selected sectors has broadly remained consistent at 1.6% as at 30 June 2022. Non-default coverage has marginally increased from 0.9% as at 31 December 2021 to 1.0% as at 30 June 2022.

Movement in gross exposures and impairment allowance including provisions for loan commitments and financial guarantees

The following tables present a reconciliation of the opening to the closing balance of the exposure and impairment allowance. An explanation of the methodology used to determine credit impairment provisions is included in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021 (Page 348). Transfers between stages in the table have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the year. The movements are measured over a 6-month period.

Business activity in the period does not include additional drawdowns on the existing facility which are reported under 'Net drawdowns, repayments, net re-measurement and movements due to exposure and risk parameter changes'. Business activity reported within Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending portfolio includes GAP portfolio acquisition in US cards of £2.7bn.

2

In H122, gross write-offs amounted to £768m (H121: £1,001m) and post write-off recoveries amounted to £36m (H121: £31m). Net write-offs represent gross write-offs less post write-off recoveries and amounted to £732m (H121: £970m).

3

Other financial assets subject to impairment not included in the table above include cash collateral and settlement balances, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and other assets. These have a total gross exposure of £197.3bn (December 21: £155.2bn) and an impairment allowance of £149m (December 21: £114m). This comprises £11m ECL (December 21: £6m) on £195.0bn stage 1 assets (December 21: £154.9bn), £2m (December 21: £1m) on £2.1bn stage 2 fair value through other comprehensive income assets, other assets and cash collateral and settlement balances (December 21: £0.2bn) and £136m (FY21: £107m) on £143m stage 3 other assets (December 21: £110m).

4

Refinements to models used for calculation reported within Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending portfolio include a £0.3bn movement in US cards. These reflect methodology changes made during the year. Barclays continually review the output of models to determine accuracy of the ECL calculation including review of model monitoring, external benchmarking and experience of model operation over an extended period of time. This ensures that the models used continue to reflect the risks inherent across the businesses.

5

Transfers and risk parameter changes include a £0.2bn (December 21: £0.3bn) net release in ECL arising from a reclassification of £1.4bn (December 21: £1.9bn) gross loans and advances from Stage 2 to Stage 1 in Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending portfolio. The reclassification followed a review of back-testing of results which indicated that accuracy of origination probability of default characteristics required management adjustments to correct. The re-classification was first established in Q220.

6

The £0.3bn disposals reported within Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending portfolio includes £0.2bn sale of NFL portfolio within US cards and £0.1bn of debt sales undertaken during the year.

Management adjustments to models for impairment

Management adjustments to impairment models are applied in order to factor in certain conditions or changes in policy that are not fully incorporated into the impairment models, or to reflect additional facts and circumstances at the period end. Management adjustments are reviewed and incorporated into future model development where applicable.

Total management adjustments to impairment allowance are presented by product below:

Positive values reflect an increase in impairment allowance and negative values reflect a reduction in the impairment allowance.

2

Proportion of management adjustments to impairment allowances has increased in wholesale loans primarily driven by release of offsetting PMA to recognise BBLS government guarantees of £0.4bn; now captured through the model. Excluding this, proportion of management adjustments to impairment allowances remain materially stable compare to previous year.

3

Includes £4.1bn (December 2021: £4.1bn) of modelled ECL, £0.4bn (December 2021: £0.5bn) of individually assessed impairments and £0.2bn (December 2021: £0.2bn) ECL from non-modelled exposures.

Total impairment allowance consists of ECL stock on drawn and undrawn exposure.

Economic uncertainty adjustments

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, macroeconomic forecasts anticipated lasting impacts to unemployment levels and customer and client stress. However, the most recent macroeconomic outlook suggests the concerns over the spread of COVID-19 in major economies has receded and normalisation of customer behaviour has been observed, but uncertainty persists: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is affecting global energy markets and food prices; China’s ‘zero-COVID’ policy is putting pressure on stretched supply chains; and labour markets continue to generate inflationary pressures. Credit deterioration could still occur as emerging supply chain disruption and inflationary pressures challenge economic stability; and economic consensus may not capture the range of arising economic uncertainty.

Given this backdrop, COVID-19 related expert judgements have been materially replaced by provisions for customers and clients considered most vulnerable to rising costs and supply chain disruption. This uncertainty continues to be captured in two distinct ways. Firstly, customer uncertainty: the identification of customers and clients who may be more vulnerable to the emerging economic instability; and secondly, model uncertainty: to capture the impact from model limitations and sensitivities to specific macroeconomic parameters which are applied at a portfolio level.

The economic uncertainty adjustments of £1.0bn (FY21: £1.7bn) include customer and client uncertainty provisions of £0.8bn (FY21: £1.5bn) and model uncertainty provisions of £0.2bn (FY21: £0.2bn).

Customer and client uncertainty provisions include an adjustment of £0.8bn (FY21: £1.5bn) which has been applied to customers and clients considered potentially vulnerable to the emerging economic instability in light of inflationary and supply chain concerns. This adjustment is split between credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending £0.5bn (FY21: £0.8bn) and wholesale loans £0.3bn (FY21: £0.3bn). The reduction in the credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending-related adjustment is due to unwinding of COVID-19 related expert judgements partially offset by provisions booked for customers and clients considered more vulnerable to rising costs and slowing consumer demand.

Furthermore, a previously held 2021 adjustment of £0.4bn to amend probabilities of default (PDs), informed by pre COVID-19 levels, is no longer required as the normalisation of customer behaviour is now captured within the modelled output.

Model uncertainty provisions £0.2bn (2021: £0.2bn) informed by modelled provisions following the updated Q222 scenario.

Other adjustments

Other adjustments are operational in nature and are expected to remain in place until they can be corrected in the underlying models. These adjustments result from data limitations and model performance related issues identified through established governance processes. The quantum of adjustments has reduced in response to the macroeconomic variable refresh in Q222 as well as model enhancements made during H122. Material adjustments comprise the following:

Home loans: The low average loan to value (LTV) nature of the UK Home Loans portfolio means that modelled ECL estimates are low. An adjustment is made to maintain an appropriate level of ECL informed by model monitoring.

Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending: Includes the estimated ECL impact from adoption of the new definition of default under the Capital Requirements Regulation, the Day 1 provision for the GAP portfolio acquisition in US cards, an annual update to the qualitative measures used in high risk account management (HRAM) and adjustments for model inaccuracies informed by model monitoring; partially offset by a reclassification of loans and advances from Stage 2 to Stage 1 in credit cards. The reclassification followed a review of back-testing results which indicated that accuracy of origination probability of default characteristics requires management adjustments to correct and was first established in Q220. This adjustment has been reduced, driven by the improved macroeconomic scenarios in Q222.

Wholesale loans: Management adjustments of £(0.4)bn within wholesale loans in 2021 principally comprised an adjustment applied on bounce back loans of £(0.4)bn to reverse out the modelled charge which did not consider the government guarantee when calculating the ECL. This adjustment is no longer needed due to model enhancements.

Measurement uncertainty

Management has applied economic uncertainty and other adjustments to modelled ECL outputs. Economic uncertainty adjustments have been applied to customers and clients considered most vulnerable to rising costs and supply chain disruption. As a result, ECL is higher than would be the case if it were based on forecast economic scenarios alone.

The measurement of modelled ECL involves complexity and judgement, including estimation of probabilities of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), a range of unbiased future economic scenarios, estimation of expected lives, estimation of exposures at default (EAD) and assessing significant increases in credit risk. The Group uses a five-scenario model to calculate ECL. An external consensus forecast is assembled from key sources, including HM Treasury (short and medium term forecasts), Bloomberg (based on median of economic forecasts) and the Urban Land Institute (for US House Prices), which forms the Baseline scenario. In addition, two adverse scenarios (Downside 1 and Downside 2) and two favourable scenarios (Upside 1 and Upside 2) are derived, with associated probability weightings. The adverse scenarios are calibrated to a broadly similar severity to Barclays’ internal stress tests and stress scenarios provided by regulators whilst also considering IFRS 9 specific sensitivities and non-linearity. The favourable scenarios are designed to reflect plausible upside risks to the Baseline scenario which are broadly consistent with the economic narrative approved by the Senior Scenario Review Committee. All scenarios are regenerated at a minimum semi-annually. The scenarios include key economic variables, (including GDP, unemployment, House Price Index (HPI) and base rates in both the UK and US markets), and expanded variables using statistical models based on historical correlations. The upside and downside shocks are designed to evolve over a five-year stress horizon, with all five scenarios converging to a steady state after approximately seven years.

Scenarios used to calculate the Group’s ECL charge were refreshed in Q222. The current Baseline scenario reflects the latest consensus economic forecasts. Unemployment rates remain low, close to current levels. As inflation expectations drift higher, central banks tighten monetary policy sharply. In 2023, the UK Bank Rate reaches 2.75%, while the US Federal Funds Rate peaks at 3.25%. Rising borrowing charges and falling real wages subtract from growth through lower investment and household consumption. In the Downside 2 scenario, with inflation expectations rising, the central banks have to raise interest rates very sharply. The UK Bank Rate and the US Federal Funds Rate both reach 5.0% in Q223. Higher borrowing costs derail the economy and unemployment peaks in Q124 at 9.2% in the UK and 9.5% in the US. Given already stretched valuations, the sharp increase in mortgage servicing costs sees house prices decrease very sharply. In the Upside 2 scenario, supply disruptions get resolved, while the aggregate demand is supported by a release of household savings. GDP growth accelerates. Recovering labour force participation limits domestic inflationary pressures, while lower energy prices add some downward pressure on prices globally.

The methodology for estimating probability weights used in calculating ECL involves simulating a range of future paths for UK and US GDP using historical data. The five scenarios are mapped against the distribution of these future paths, with the median centred around the Baseline such that scenarios further from the Baseline attract a lower weighting. A single set of five scenarios is used across all portfolios and all five weights are normalised to equate to 100%. The same scenarios and weights that are used in the ECL estimation are also used for Barclays’ internal planning purposes. The impacts across the portfolios are different because of the sensitivities of each of the portfolios to specific macroeconomic variables. For example, mortgages are highly sensitive to house prices; credit cards and unsecured consumer loans are highly sensitive to unemployment.

The decrease in the Upside scenario weightings and increase in the Baseline weighting were driven by: (i) continued growth in UK/US GDP which resulted in a narrower fan of future GDP paths; and (ii) generally less favourable GDP projections across scenarios, increasing the distance between Upside 2 and Baseline scenario paths. For further details see page 48.

COVID-19 related expert judgements have been materially replaced by provisions for customers and clients considered most vulnerable to rising costs and supply chain disruption. The economic uncertainty adjustments of £1.0bn (FY21: £1.7bn) have been applied as overlays to the modelled ECL output. These adjustments consist of a customer and client uncertainty provision of £0.8bn (FY21: £1.5bn) and a model uncertainty provision of £0.2bn (FY21: £0.2bn). For further details, see pages 41 to 35.

The tables below show the key consensus macroeconomic variables used in the scenarios (5-year annual paths), the probability weights applied to each scenario and the macroeconomic variables by scenario using ‘specific bases’ i.e. the most extreme position of each variable in the context of the scenario, for example, the highest unemployment for downside scenarios and the lowest unemployment for upside scenarios. The 5-year average table provides additional transparency.

ECL under 100% weighted scenarios for modelled portfolios

The table below shows the ECL assuming scenarios have been 100% weighted. Model exposures are allocated to a stage based on the individual scenario rather than through a probability-weighted approach as required for Barclays reported impairment allowances. As a result, it is not possible to back solve to the final reported weighted ECL from the individual scenarios as a balance may be assigned to a different stage dependent on the scenario. Model exposure uses exposure at default (EAD) values and is not directly comparable to gross exposure used in prior disclosures. For Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending, an average EAD measure is used (12-month or lifetime, depending on stage allocation in each scenario). Therefore, the model exposure movement into Stage 2 is higher than the corresponding Stage 1 reduction.

All ECL using a model is included, with the exception of Treasury assets (£7.7m of ECL). Non-modelled exposures and management adjustments are excluded. Management adjustments can be found in the Management adjustments to models for impairment section.

Model exposures allocated to Stage 3 do not change in any of the scenarios as the transition criteria relies only on observable evidence of default as at 30 June 2022 and not on macroeconomic scenarios.

The Downside 2 scenario represents a severe global recession with substantial falls in both UK and US GDP. Unemployment in UK markets rises towards 9.2% and US markets rises towards 9.5% and there are substantial falls in asset prices including housing. Under the Downside 2 scenario, model exposure moves between stages as the economic environment weakens. This can be seen in the movement of £22.1bn of model exposure into Stage 2 between the Weighted and Downside 2 scenario. ECL increases in Stage 2 predominantly due to unsecured portfolios as economic conditions deteriorate.

The dispersion of results around the Baseline is an indication of uncertainty around the future projections. The disclosure highlights the results of the alternative scenarios enabling the reader to understand the extent of the impact on exposure and ECL from the upside/downside scenarios. Consequently, the use of five scenarios with associated weightings results in a total weighted ECL uplift from the Baseline ECL of 2.4%, largely driven by credit card losses which have more linear loss profiles than UK home loans and wholesale loan positions.

Home loans: Total weighted ECL of £329m represents a 2.2% increase over the Baseline ECL (£322m), and coverage ratios remain steady across the Upside scenarios, Baseline and Downside 1 scenario. However, total ECL increases in the Downside 2 scenario to £407m, driven by a significant fall in UK HPI (30.8%) reflecting the non-linearity of the UK portfolio.

Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending: Total weighted ECL of £3,079m represents a 1.7% increase over the Baseline ECL (£3,028m) reflecting the range of economic scenarios used, mainly impacted by unemployment and other key retail variables. Total ECL increases to £3,902m under Downside 2 scenario, mainly driven by Stage 2, where coverage rates increase to 19.9% from a weighted scenario approach of 17.6% and circa £3.0bn increase in model exposure that meets the Significant Increase in Credit Risk criteria and transitions from Stage 1 to Stage 2.

Wholesale loans: Total weighted ECL of £774m represents an 5.3% increase over the Baseline ECL (£735m) reflecting the range of economic scenarios used, with exposures in the Corporate and Investment Bank particularly sensitive to the Downside 2 scenario.

Portfolio mark to market based on the most updated valuation including recovery book balances. Updated valuations reflect the application of the latest HPI available as at 30 June 2022.

New lending reduced to £14.1bn, a level more consistent with pre-COVID-19 periods, from £19.1bn in H121 when market dynamics drove high levels of new business due to stamp duty relief and property ownership led demand. The proportion of new lending with LTV >85% was 18%, more consistent with levels seen pre-COVID-19, compared to 7% in H121 when high LTV products were gradually being reintroduced following COVID-19 restrictions.

Head Office: Italian home loans and advances at amortised cost reduced to £4.6bn (2021: £4.7bn). The portfolio is secured on residential property with an average balance weighted mark to market LTV of 59.0% (2021: 60.4%). 90 day arrears remained stable at 1.3% (2021: 1.3%), gross charge-off rates increased to 0.4% (2021: 0.3%).

Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending

The principal portfolios listed below accounted for 83% (December 2021: 82%) of the Group’s total credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending.

UK cards: 30 and 90 day arrears rates remained stable at 1.0% and 0.2%, with balances flat at £9.9bn. Gross and net write-off rates returned to more stable levels of 2.4% and 2.3% following the higher rates in 2021 caused by the sharp reductions in overall balances through COVID-19 and heightened debt sale activity.

UK personal loans: 30 and 90 day arrears rates reduced by 0.2% and 0.1% to 1.3% and 0.6% respectively. This marginal reduction was driven by the portfolio growing through new lending post the COVID-19 reductions, and these newer vintages performing better than the historical stock. Gross and net write-off rates returned to more stable levels of 2.0% and 1.6% following the higher rates in 2021 caused by the sharp reductions in overall balances through COVID-19 and heightened debt sale activity.

Barclays Partner Finance: 30 and 90 day arrears rates remain stable and in line with December 2021.

US cards: Balances increased due to the acquisition of the GAP portfolio in June 2022, movement in the USD/GBP exchange rate and core portfolio growth. 30 and 90 day arrears rates improved due to the GAP portfolio acquisition.

Germany consumer lending: 30 and 90 day arrears rates were stable. 30 day arrears rates are below pre-COVID levels.

Government supported loans

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic Barclays has supported its customers and clients by participating in the UK government's Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS), Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) and the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS).

The BBLS and CBILS schemes were launched to provide financial support to smaller and medium-sized businesses and CLBILS for larger businesses in the UK who may experience financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The RLS aims to help UK businesses access finance as they recover and grow following the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans are guaranteed by the government at 100% for BBLS and 80% for CBILS, CLBILS and RLS (70% for RLS issued post January 1, 2022) as at the balance sheet date.

Management adjustment of £(380)m applied in December 2021 has been discontinued following an update in the underlying ECL model that now fully recognises the 100% government guarantee against BBLS exposure within BUK Business Banking. However, we continue to hold the £(4)m (December 2021: £7m) adjustment against CBILS as the 80% government guarantee is not fully recognised in the models. In instances where Barclays has assessed the BBLS exposure to have not met strict assessment criteria, no claim has been made against the government guarantee resulting in an impairment allowance against these loans of £22m (December 2021: £16m) as at the balance sheet date.

Additionally, while the government supported loans are covered by guarantees, many BBLS customers have other financing arrangements with Barclays which are not covered by the government guarantee. Noting the elevated levels of delinquency across the BBLS population, Barclays has applied an adjustment of £0.1bn to the £2.6bn gross exposure to BBLS customers outside the scheme.

The table below shows the total management VaR on a diversified basis by asset class. Total management VaR includes all trading positions in Barclays Bank Group and it is calculated with a one-day holding period. VaR limits are applied to total management VaR and by asset class. Additionally, the market risk management function applies VaR sub-limits to material businesses and trading desks.

Diversification effects recognise that forecast losses from different assets or businesses are unlikely to occur concurrently, hence the expected aggregate loss is lower than the sum of the expected losses from each area. Historical correlations between losses are taken into account in making these assessments. The high and low VaR figures reported for each category did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low VaR reported as a whole. Consequently, a diversification effect balance for the high and low VaR figures would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the above table.

Average management VaR increased 80% to £27m (H221: £15m) driven by elevated market volatility and defensive risk positioning. Risk taking during the period remained within risk appetite.

Treasury and Capital Risk

The Group has a comprehensive Key Risk Control Framework for managing its liquidity risk. The liquidity framework meets the PRA standards and is designed to maintain liquidity resources that are sufficient in amount and quality, and a funding profile that is appropriate to meet the Group’s Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA). The liquidity framework is delivered via a combination of policy formation, review and governance, analysis, stress testing, limit setting and monitoring.

Liquidity risk stress testing

The liquidity risk stress assessment measures the potential contractual and contingent stress outflows under a range of scenarios, which are then used to determine the size of the liquidity pool that is immediately available to meet anticipated outflows if a stress occurs. The short-term scenarios include a 30 day Barclays-specific stress event, a 90 day market-wide stress event and a 30 day combined scenario consisting of both a Barclays specific and market-wide stress event. The Group also runs a long-term liquidity stress test, which measures the anticipated outflows over a 12 month market-wide scenario.

The LCR requirement takes into account the relative stability of different sources of funding and potential incremental funding requirements in a stress. The LCR is designed to promote short-term resilience of a bank’s liquidity risk profile by holding sufficient high quality liquid assets to survive an acute stress scenario lasting for 30 days.

As at 30 June 2022, the Group held eligible liquid assets in excess of 100% of net stress outflows to its internal and external regulatory requirements.

Eligible liquidity buffer	331	285

The Group plans to maintain its surplus to the internal and regulatory stress requirements at an efficient level, while considering risks to market funding conditions and its liquidity position. The continuous reassessment of these risks may lead to execution of appropriate actions to resize the liquidity pool.

Includes cash held at central banks and surplus cash at central banks related to payment schemes. 99% (December 2021: over 99%) was placed with the Bank of England, US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and Swiss National Bank.

Of which over 81% (December 2021: over 82%) comprised UK, US, French, German, Japanese, Swiss and Dutch securities.

The Group liquidity pool increased to £343bn as at 30 June 2022 (December 2021: £291bn) driven by continued deposit growth and an increase in wholesale funding, which were partly offset by an increase in business funding consumption. During H122, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from £309bn to £343bn (H221: £290bn to £308bn), and the month-end average balance was £324bn (H221: £296bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and is not used to support payment or clearing requirements. Such requirements are treated as part of our regular business funding. The liquidity pool is intended to offset stress outflows, and comprises the above cash and unencumbered assets.

As at 30 June 2022, 64% (December 2021: 58%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC, 25% (December 2021: 30%) in Barclays Bank UK PLC and 6% (December 2021: 7%) in Barclays Bank Ireland PLC. The residual portion of the liquidity pool is held outside of these entities, predominantly in US subsidiaries, to meet entity-specific stress outflows and local regulatory requirements. To the extent the use of this residual portion of the liquidity pool is restricted due to local regulatory requirements, it is assumed to be unavailable to the rest of the Group in calculating the LCR.

The composition of the pool is subject to limits and controls set by the respective entity Boards and independent liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk functions. In addition, the investment of the liquidity pool is monitored for concentration by issuer, currency and asset type. Given returns generated by these highly liquid assets, the risk and reward profile is continuously managed.

The loan: deposit ratio is calculated as loans and advances at amortised cost divided by deposits at amortised cost.

Funding structure and funding relationships

The basis for liquidity risk management is a funding structure that reduces the probability of a liquidity stress leading to an inability to meet funding obligations as they fall due. The Group’s overall funding strategy is to develop a diversified funding base (geographically, by type and by counterparty) and maintain access to a variety of alternative funding sources, to provide protection against unexpected fluctuations, while minimising the cost of funding.

Within this, the Group aims to align the sources and uses of funding. As such, retail and corporate loans and advances are largely funded by deposits in the relevant entities, with the surplus primarily funding the liquidity pool. The majority of reverse repurchase agreements are matched by repurchase agreements. Derivative liabilities and assets are largely matched. A substantial proportion of balance sheet derivative positions qualify for counterparty netting and the remaining portions are largely offset when netted against cash collateral received and paid. Wholesale debt and equity is used to fund residual assets.

These funding relationships as at 30 June 2022 are summarised below:

Other assets include fair value assets that are not part of reverse repurchase agreements or trading portfolio assets, and other asset categories.

Composition of wholesale funding

Wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was £181.5bn (December 2021: £167.5bn). In H122, the Group issued £3.5bn of MREL eligible instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in a range of tenors and currencies.

Our operating companies also access wholesale funding markets to maintain their stable and diversified funding bases. Barclays Bank PLC continued to issue in the shorter-term and medium-term notes markets. In addition, Barclays Bank UK PLC continued to issue in the shorter-term markets.

Wholesale funding of £84.2bn (December 2021: £66.7bn1) matures in less than one year, representing 46% (December 2021: 40%1) of total wholesale funding outstanding. This includes £19.4bn (December 2021: £24.9bn1) related to term funding2.

2021 financial metrics have been restated to reflect the impact of the Over-issuance of Securities. See Restatement of financial statements (Note 1) on page 87 for more information. The contractual maturity profile of financial liabilities designated at fair value has been restated to reflect the impact of the Over-issuance of Securities. Securities issued by BBPLC in excess of the maximum aggregate offering price registered under Barclays Bank PLC's 2019 F-3 and Predecessor Shelf with a value of £6,997m have been classified as "on demand".

2

The composition of wholesale funds comprises the balance sheet reported financial liabilities at fair value, debt securities in issue and subordinated liabilities. It does not include participation in the central bank facilities reported within repurchase agreements and other similar secured borrowing.

3

Term funding comprises public benchmark and privately placed senior unsecured notes, covered bonds, asset-backed securities and subordinated debt where the original maturity of the instrument is more than 1 year.

4

Includes structured notes of £45.9bn, of which £8.5bn matures within one year.

Credit ratings

In addition to monitoring and managing key metrics related to the financial strength of the Group, Barclays also solicits independent credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s Global (S&P), Moody’s, Fitch, and Rating and Investment Information (R&I). These ratings assess the creditworthiness of the Group, its subsidiaries and its branches, and are based on reviews of a broad range of business and financial attributes including capital strength, profitability, funding, liquidity, asset quality, strategy and governance.

As at 30 June 2022, all solicited ratings and outlooks with all agencies remained unchanged since 31 December 2021.

In June 2021, S&P revised the outlooks of Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC to positive from stable, whilst affirming all ratings. The revisions reflect the view that Barclays is delivering a stronger, more consistent business profile and financial performance.

In November 2021, Moody’s revised the outlook of Barclays PLC to positive from stable, whilst affirming all ratings. The revisions reflect Moody’s view that the level and stability of the Group’s earnings could further improve once global macroeconomic conditions normalise, recognising the balanced earnings streams and stable operating costs.

In July 2021, Fitch revised the outlooks of Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC to stable from negative, whilst affirming all ratings. The revisions reflected improved expectations for economic recovery in Barclays’ key markets and the Group’s resilient performance through the pandemic.

Barclays also solicits issuer ratings from R&I. In November 2021, R&I upgraded the issuer ratings of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC by one notch to A and A+ respectively.

A credit rating downgrade could result in outflows to meet collateral requirements on existing contracts. Outflows related to credit rating downgrades are included in the LRA stress scenarios and a portion of the liquidity pool is held against this risk. Credit ratings downgrades could also result in reduced funding capacity and increased funding costs.

The contractual collateral requirement following one- and two-notch long-term and associated short-term downgrades across all credit rating agencies, would result in outflows of £1bn and £3bn respectively, and are provided for in determining an appropriate liquidity pool size given the Group’s liquidity risk appetite. These numbers do not assume any management or restructuring actions that could be taken to reduce posting requirements. These outflows do not include the potential liquidity impact from loss of unsecured funding, such as from money market funds, or loss of secured funding capacity. However, unsecured and secured funding stresses are included in the LRA stress scenarios and a portion of the liquidity pool is held against these risks.

Regulatory minimum requirements

Capital

The Group’s Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 is 10.9% 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 2.4% 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. On 5 July 2022, the FPC announced that the UK CCyB rate will be increased from 1% to 2% and will be applicable from 5 July 2023.

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 4.2% of which at least 56.25% needed to be met with CET1 capital, equating to approximately 2.4% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review and is based on a point in time assessment.

The Group’s CET1 target ratio of 13-14% takes into account headroom above requirements which includes a confidential institution-specific PRA buffer. The Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements including the PRA buffer.

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 £6.0bn.

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 4.2% Pillar 2A; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures plus capital buffers, including the above mentioned confidential institution-specific PRA buffer. 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 became 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.

Impact of Over-issuance of Securities

Basis of preparation

In March 2022, the Group became aware that Barclays Bank PLC had issued securities in excess of the amount it had registered with the SEC under Barclays Bank PLC’s 2019 F-3 and subsequently became aware that securities had also been issued in excess of the amount it had registered with the SEC under the Predecessor Shelf. The securities issued in excess of the registered amount comprised structured products and exchange traded notes. As these securities were not issued in compliance with the Securities Act, a right of rescission has arisen 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, resulting in the restatement of the 2021 figures in the disclosures below.

Prior to the restatement, litigation and conduct charges in the income statement in relation to 2021 were under reported by £220m (pre-tax). This resulted in a CET1 capital decrease of £170m from £47,497m to £47,327m. Both the transitional and fully loaded CET1 ratios remained unchanged at 15.1% and 14.7% respectively. The T1 ratio moved from 19.2% to 19.1% and the total capital ratio moved from 22.3% to 22.2%.

The leverage exposure increased £1.9bn to recognise on a regulatory basis, the potential commitment relating to the rescission offer (see 'Other matters' on page 6). This resulted in the UK leverage ratio moving from 5.3% to 5.2% whilst the average UK leverage ratio remained 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.

CET1, 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. December 2021 comparatives include the grandfathering of CRR non-compliant capital instruments.

The fully loaded CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays PLC AT1 securities, was 13.4%, with £46.0bn of CET1 capital and £344.3bn of RWAs calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II.

4

The Group’s CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays Bank PLC 7.625% Contingent Capital Notes, was 13.6%. 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.

Opening balance as at 31 December 2021 has been restated to reflect the impact of the Over-issuance of Securities. See Basis of preparation on page 65 for further details.

CET1 capital decreased £0.6bn to £46.7bn (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 IFRS9 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.

£2.9bn of capital generated from profits, after absorbing the £0.6bn net of tax impact of the Over-issuance of Securities, was partially offset by distributions of £2bn comprising:

●

£1bn for share buybacks announced with FY21 results

●

£0.6bn accrual towards a FY22 dividend

●

£0.4bn of equity coupons paid

Other significant movements in the period were:

●

£0.8bn decrease in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve primarily due to losses on bonds as a result of an increase in yields

●

£1.7bn increase in the currency translation reserves driven by the appreciation of period end USD against GBP

Overall RWAs increased £30.4bn to £344.5bn (December 2021: £314.1bn)

Credit risk RWAs increased £21.1bn:

●

A £12.8bn increase in book size primarily driven by a £7.8bn increase in lending activities mainly within CIB and a £4.5bn temporary increase in RWAs reflecting the hedging arrangements designed to manage the risk of the rescission offer relating to the Over-issuance of Securities, which are expected to reverse after the rescission offer has been completed in Q322

●

A £0.2bn decrease in acquisitions and disposals primarily driven by partial disposal of Barclays' equity stake in Absa in April 2022, offset by GAP portfolio acquisition

●

A £3.1bn decrease in book quality primarily driven by the benefit in mortgages from an increase in the House Price Index (HPI)

●

A £3.5bn 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 £8.2bn increase in FX primarily due to appreciation of period end USD against GBP

Counterparty Credit risk RWAs increased £7.6bn:

●

A £1.6bn increase in book size primarily due to an increase in trading activities within SFTs and derivatives

●

A £3.4bn 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

●

A £2.6bn increase in FX primarily due to appreciation of period end USD against GBP

Market risk RWAs increased £1.6bn:

●

A £0.1bn increase in book size primarily driven by a £8.4bn increase due to client and trading activities, offset by a £6.9bn decrease in Stressed Value at Risk (SVaR) model adjustment as a result of changes in portfolio composition and a £1.4bn reduction in Structural FX

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% (December 2021: 5.2%) primarily due to a £13.3bn increase in the leverage exposure. The UK leverage exposure increased to £1,151.2bn (December 2021: £1,137.9bn), due to the following significant movements:

£36.8bn 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

●

£34.4bn increase in loans and advances at amortised cost primarily driven by increased lending

●

£28.1bn increase in SFTs primarily driven by client activity in CIB

●

£12.6bn increase in net written credit protection primarily driven by the inclusion of credit default swap options from 1 January 2022

●

£51.8bn decrease in PFE on derivatives primarily driven by increased netting eligibility due to the introduction of SA-CCR

●

£39.8bn decrease due to an £84.3bn increase in the qualifying central bank claims exemption primarily due to the matching of allowable liabilities rather than deposits introduced under the UK leverage framework review, partially offset by a £44.6bn increase in cash

●

£20.0bn decrease in trading portfolio assets primarily due to decreases in Equities

The average UK Leverage Ratio decreased to 4.7% (December 2021: 4.9%) primarily due to a £2.1bn decrease in average T1 capital largely as a result of regulatory changes effective from 1 January 2022 and the redemption of AT1 instruments in Q122.

This was in excess of the Group's MREL requirement, excluding the PRA buffer, to hold £98.1bn of own funds and eligible liabilities equating to 28.5% of RWAs. The Group remains above its MREL regulatory requirement including the PRA buffer.

The Directors (the names of whom are set out below) are required to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to do so.

Independent Review Report to Barclays PLC

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Barclays PLC ("the company" or "the group") to review the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2022 which comprises:

●

the condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended;

●

the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2022;

●

the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended;

●

the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended; and

●

the related explanatory notes.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2022 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted for use in the UK and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (“the DTR”) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (“the UK FCA”).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“ISRE (UK) 2410”) issued for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. We read the other information contained in the Interim Results Announcement and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting, or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not been appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern, and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the group will continue in operation.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Interim Results Announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

As disclosed in note 1, the Basis of preparation, the annual financial statements of the Barclays Group are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.

The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the Interim Results Announcement in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted for use in the UK.

In preparing the condensed set of financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement based on our review. Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report.

The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Financial Statement Notes 

1.

Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("the financial statements") for the six months ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the UK.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 were prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRICs) as issued by the IASB and adopted by the UK.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021.

1.

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the Directors are satisfied that the Group and parent company have the resources to continue in business for a period of at least 12 months from approval of the interim financial statements. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered a wide range of information relating to present and future conditions and includes a review of a working capital report (WCR). The WCR is used by the Directors to assess the future performance of the business and that it has the resources in place that are required to meet its ongoing regulatory requirements. The WCR also includes an assessment of the impact of internally generated stress testing scenarios on the liquidity and capital requirement forecasts. The stress tests used were based upon an assessment of reasonably possible downside economic scenarios that the Group could experience.

The WCR indicated that the Group had sufficient capital in place to support its future business requirements and remained above its regulatory minimum requirements in the internal stress scenarios.

2.

Other disclosures

The Credit risk disclosures on pages 33 to 56 form part of these interim financial statements.

Restatement of financial statements

The comparatives in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 (the financial statements) have been restated to reflect both a provision and contingent liability disclosure in respect of the impact of an over-issuance of securities (the Over-issuance of Securities) in excess of the maximum aggregate offering price registered under Barclays Bank PLC’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3, as declared effective by the SEC in August 2019 (2019 F-3) and Barclays Bank PLC’s predecessor shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed in 2018 (Predecessor Shelf).

Due to a historic SEC settlement order, at the time the 2019 F-3 was filed and the Predecessor Shelf was amended, Barclays Bank PLC had ceased to be a “well-known seasoned issuer” (or WKSI) and had become an “ineligible issuer”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), thus being required to register upfront a certain amount of securities with the SEC.

In March 2022, Barclays Bank PLC became aware that it had issued securities in the US materially in excess of the amount it had registered with the SEC under the 2019 F-3 and subsequently became aware that securities had also been issued in excess of the amount it had registered with the SEC under the Predecessor Shelf. The securities that were issued in this period comprise structured notes and exchange traded notes (ETNs). As such, certain offers and sales of these securities were not made in compliance with the Securities Act, giving rise to rights of rescission for certain purchasers of the securities. Under Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act, certain purchasers of unregistered securities have a right to recover, upon the tender of such security, the consideration paid for such security with interest, less the amount of any income received, or damages if the purchaser no longer owns the security (the Rescission Price). As a result, Barclays Bank PLC has elected to make a rescission offer to eligible purchasers of the relevant affected securities at the Rescission Price (the Rescission Offer).

A proportion of the expected costs associated with the rights of rescission of certain investors are attributable to Barclays PLC’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. Accordingly, the comparatives in these financial statements have been restated. The restatement impacts the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended 31 December 2021, as well as quarterly and half yearly financial information that is presented within this document. There was no material effect on Barclays PLC’s previously reported financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.

Barclays has corrected the presentation of the scheme fees incurred when Barclays acts as an “acquirer” as part of the payment transaction cycle. From 2022 onwards, the scheme fees reported under "Barclays International" are presented within fees and commission income under "Transactional" fee type, which had previously been recognised in fees and commission expense. The reclassification into Fee and Commission income is a reduction of £103m for H122. The comparatives have not been restated as the effect is not considered material although the effect would have been a reduction of H121: £88m with no impact on Net fee and commission income. There is no impact on Net assets or Cash flows reported.

Transactional fees are service charges on deposit accounts, cash management services and transactional processing fees. These include interchange and merchant fee income generated from credit and bank card usage.

Advisory fees are generated from wealth management services and investment banking advisory services related to mergers, acquisitions and financial restructurings.

Brokerage and execution fees are earned for executing client transactions with various exchanges and over-the-counter markets and assisting clients in clearing transactions.

Underwriting and syndication fees are earned for the distribution of client equity or debt securities and the arrangement and administration of a loan syndication. These include commitment fees to provide loan financing.

No material awards have yet been granted in relation to the 2022 bonus pool as decisions regarding incentive awards are not taken by the Remuneration Committee until the performance for the full year can be assessed. The current year bonus charge for the first six months represents an accrual for estimated costs in accordance with accounting requirements. One of the primary considerations when evaluating the accrual is Group and business level returns, aligning colleague and shareholder interests.

The Group has entered into physically settled forward contracts to hedge the settlement of certain share-based payment schemes. The present value of the fixed forward price to be paid under these outstanding contracts is £287m and has been recorded in retained earnings.

Tax

The tax charge for H122 was £823m (restated1 H121: £742m), representing an effective tax rate (ETR) of 22.0% (restated1 H121: 15.1%). The ETR for H122 includes a 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 12.8%, which includes a 5.8% benefit relating to adjustments in respect of prior years. Included in the H122 tax charge is a credit of £110m (H121: £104m) in respect of payments made on AT1 instruments that are classified as equity for accounting purposes. The H121 ETR included a benefit recognised for the re-measurement of the Group’s UK DTAs as a result of the enactment of legislation to increase the UK corporation tax rate to 25% effective from 1 April 2023.

The re-measurement of UK DTAs has resulted in the Group's DTAs decreasing by £318m with a tax charge in the income statement of £346m and a tax credit within other comprehensive income of £28m.

In October 2021, the OECD and G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting announced plans to introduce a global minimum tax rate of 15%. The model rules were released by the OECD in December 2021 with further guidance published in March 2022. Draft legislation published by the UK government on 20 July 2022 to implement the global minimum tax regime is expected to apply for accounting periods beginning on or after 31 December 2023. The Group is reviewing the published OECD model rules and guidance and will review further guidance as well as new legislation to be released by governments implementing this new tax regime as it is published to assess the potential impact of new legislation.

In the USA, the proposed Build Back Better Act was passed by the House of Representatives in 2021 but it was not passed by the Senate and it is uncertain whether various proposals contained in the Act will progress further. The Act included proposals to implement material changes to international tax provisions, including amendments to the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax and the imposition of an alternative minimum tax based on accounting profits. It is unclear at this time whether any of these proposals could have a significant impact on the Group if enacted. The Group will continue to monitor developments and assess the potential impact of any future legislative changes ultimately enacted.

For qualifying American Depositary Receipt (ADR) holders, the half year dividend of 2.25p per ordinary share becomes 9.0p per American Depositary Share (representing 4 shares). The depositary bank will post the half year dividend on 16 September 2022 to ADR holders on the record at close of business on 12 August 2022.

The Directors have confirmed their intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £500m after the balance sheet date. The share buyback is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2022. The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 do not reflect the impact of the proposed share buyback, which will be accounted for as and when shares are repurchased by the Company.

The IFRS netting posted against derivative assets was £55bn including £12bn of cash collateral netted (December 2021: £24bn including £4bn cash collateral netted) and £55bn for liabilities including £12bn of cash collateral netted (December 2021: £24bn including £4bn of cash collateral netted). Derivative asset exposures would be £306bn (December 2021: £237bn) lower than reported under IFRS if netting were permitted for assets and liabilities with the same counterparty or for which the Group holds cash collateral of £40bn (December 2021: £35bn). Similarly, derivative liabilities would be £293bn (December 2021: £235bn) lower reflecting counterparty netting and cash collateral placed of £26bn (December 2021: £32bn). In addition, non-cash collateral of £13bn (December 2021: £6bn) was held in respect of derivative assets and £3bn (December 2021: £2bn) was placed in respect of derivative liabilities. Collateral amounts are limited to net on balance sheet exposure so as to not include over-collateralisation.

Fair value of financial instruments

This section should be read in conjunction with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021 which provides more detail about accounting policies adopted, valuation methodologies used in calculating fair value and the valuation control framework which governs oversight of valuations. There have been no changes in the accounting policies adopted or the valuation methodologies used.

Assets and liabilities reclassified between Level 1 and Level 2

During the period, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 (period ended 31 December 2021: no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2).

Level 3 movement analysis

The following table summarises the movements in the balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities during the period. The table shows gains and losses and includes amounts for all financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value transferred to and from Level 3 during the period. Transfers have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the period.

Asset and liability moves between Level 2 and Level 3 are primarily due to i) an increase or decrease in observable market activity related to an input or ii) a change in the significance of the unobservable input, with assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 if an unobservable input is deemed significant.

Valuation techniques and sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity analysis is performed on products with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) to generate a range of reasonably possible alternative valuations. The sensitivity methodologies applied take account of the nature of valuation techniques used, as well as the availability and reliability of observable proxy and historical data and the impact of using alternative models.

Current year valuation and sensitivity methodologies are consistent with those described within Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021.

Other includes commercial real estate loans, funds and fund-linked products, asset backed loans, issued debt, commercial paper, government sponsored debt and investment property.

The effect of stressing unobservable inputs to a range of reasonably possible alternatives, alongside considering the impact of using alternative models, would be to increase fair values by up to £1,015m (December 2021: £880m) or to decrease fair values by up to £1,178m (December 2021: £1,005m) with substantially all the potential effect impacting profit and loss rather than reserves.

Significant unobservable inputs

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities recognised at fair value and classified as Level 3 are consistent with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021.

Fair value adjustments

Key balance sheet valuation adjustments are quantified below:

	As at 30.06.22	As at 31.12.21
	£m	£m
Exit price adjustments derived from market bid-offer spreads	(539)	(506)
Uncollateralised derivative funding	(82)	(127)
Derivative credit valuation adjustments	(388)	(212)
Derivative debit valuation adjustments	208	91

●

Exit price adjustments derived from market bid-offer spreads increased by £33m to £539m as a result of movements in market bid offer spreads.

●

Uncollateralised derivative funding decreased by £45m to £82m as a result of reduction in uncollateralised funding exposure due to increases in interest rates which offset impact of wider funding spreads.

●

Derivative credit valuation adjustments increased by £176m to £388m as a result of widening input counterparty credit spreads

●

Derivative debit valuation adjustments increased by £117m to £208m as a result of widening input own credit spreads

Portfolio exemption

The Group uses the portfolio exemption in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement to measure the fair value of groups of financial assets and liabilities. Instruments are measured using the price that would be received to sell a net long position (i.e. an asset) for a particular risk exposure or to transfer a net short position (i.e. a liability) for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date under current market conditions. Accordingly, the Group measures the fair value of the group of financial assets and liabilities consistently with how market participants would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date.

Unrecognised gains as a result of the use of valuation models using unobservable inputs

The amount that has yet to be recognised in income that relates to the difference between the transaction price (the fair value at initial recognition) and the amount that would have arisen had valuation models using unobservable inputs been used on initial recognition, less amounts subsequently recognised, is £117m (December 2021: £133m) for financial instruments measured at fair value and £221m (December 2021: £230m) for financial instruments carried at amortised cost. There are additions and FX gains of £19m (December 2021: £59m) and amortisation and releases of £35m (December 2021: £42m) for financial instruments measured at fair value and additions of £nil (December 2021: £nil) and amortisation and releases of £9m (December 2021: £17m) for financial instruments carried at amortised cost.

Third party credit enhancements

Structured and brokered certificates of deposit issued by the Group are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States. The FDIC is funded by premiums that Barclays and other banks pay for deposit insurance coverage. The carrying value of these issued certificates of deposit that are designated under the IFRS 9 fair value option includes this third party credit enhancement. The on balance sheet value of these brokered certificates of deposit amounted to £3,065m (December 2021: £790m).

Comparison of carrying amounts and fair values for assets and liabilities not held at fair value

Valuation methodologies employed in calculating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost are consistent with those described within Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021.

The following table summarises the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost on the Group’s balance sheet.

2021 financial metrics have been restated to reflect the impact of the Over-issuance of Securities. See Restatement of financial statements (Note 1) on page 87 for more information.

Over-issuance of securities

As at 30 June 2022, Barclays PLC has recognised a balance sheet provision of £1,757m (December 2021: £220m) in relation to the Over-issuance of Securities (see Basis of preparation on page 87 for more information), out of which £1,592m (December 2021: £220m) is due to the over-issuance of structured notes (within Customer redress) and £165m (December 2021: nil) relates to liabilities that could be incurred arising out of ongoing discussions in respect of a potential SEC resolution (within Legal, competition and regulatory matters).

The amount of the provision in relation to the rescission rights of investors in over-issued structured notes is determined by (among other things) the market value of the structured notes subject to the Rescission Offer, participation rates in such Rescission Offer, prevailing interest rates, and movements in foreign exchange rates. The majority of the structured notes subject to the Rescission Offer provide an equity linked return to investors. As such, the value of these notes is highly sensitive to movements in the price of individual securities and a range of indices.

The increase in the provision of £1,372m predominantly reflects a reduction in the market value of the structured notes and additional accrued interest that would be payable to investors on rescission. The US equity markets have been volatile during the first half of 2022, with significant reductions in the value of US equity indices such as the S&P 500 from the year end 2021 levels, which has led to a reduction in the market value of the structured notes, and increased the size of the provision. The provision does not include the impact of market hedges that have been entered into subsequent to the year-end and were initiated from the end of the first quarter of 2022 to reduce the net volatility to the income statement. When determining these market hedges, consideration was given to changes in the rescission costs which would arise from volatility in the market along with the positioning of the Markets business.

The structured notes also accrue interest on a monthly basis (at current prevailing interest rates and participation rate assumptions this is c£34m a month) until the Rescission Price has been paid. The provision also assumes that not all structured note investors whose securities are out of the money will accept the Rescission Offer. If all investors were to accept the Rescission Offer, the provision would increase by c£60m.

The remaining increase in the provision of £165m results from Barclays PLC’s estimate of the potential SEC resolution.

16.

Retirement benefits

As at 30 June 2022, the Group’s IAS 19 net pension surplus across all schemes was £4.9bn (December 2021: £3.6bn). The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had an IAS 19 net pension surplus of £5.2bn (December 2021: £3.8bn). The movement for the UKRF was driven by an overall increase in AA corporate bond yields (used for discounting future liabilities), a reduction in long-term expected price inflation assumption and the payment of deficit reduction contributions. These movements were partially offset by the fall in the value of UKRF's assets and the impact of high recent inflation on the liabilities.

UKRF funding valuations

The latest annual update as at 30 September 2021 showed the funding position had improved to a surplus of £0.6bn from a deficit of £0.9bn shown at 30 September 2020. The improvement was mainly due to £0.7bn of deficit reduction contributions and favourable asset returns, partially offset by higher expected long term price inflation. The deficit recovery plan agreed at the last triennial valuation requires deficit reduction contributions from Barclays Bank PLC of £294m in 2022 and £286m in 2023. The deficit reduction contributions are in addition to the regular contributions to meet the Group’s share of the cost of benefits accruing over each year. £147m of the 2022 deficit reduction contributions were paid in April, with the remaining £147m due in September. The next triennial actuarial valuation of the UKRF is due to be completed in 2023 with an effective date of 30 September 2022.

During 2019 and 2020, the UKRF, the Group’s main pension scheme, subscribed for non-transferable listed senior fixed rate notes for £1.25bn issued by entities consolidated within the Group under IFRS 10. As a result of these transactions, the CET1 impact of the 2019 and 2020 deficit contributions 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 c.30bps reduction to the CET1 ratio potentially being accelerated to Q4 2022 from 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Called up share capital comprises 16,531m (December 2021: 16,752m) ordinary shares of 25p each. The decrease is mainly due to the repurchase of 244m shares as part of the £1.0bn share buyback announced in the FY21 results, partially offset by an increase due to the issuance of shares under employee share schemes.

Other equity instruments of £12,357m (December 2021: £12,259m) comprise AT1 securities issued by Barclays PLC. There was one issuance and one redemption in the six months to 30 June 2022.

The AT1 securities are perpetual securities with no fixed maturity and are structured to qualify as AT1 instruments under prevailing capital rules applicable as at the relevant issue date. AT1 securities are undated and are redeemable, at the option of Barclays PLC, in whole on (i) the initial call date, or on any fifth anniversary after the initial call date or (ii) any day falling in a named period ending on the initial reset date, or on any fifth anniversary after the initial reset date. In addition, the AT1 securities are redeemable, at the option of Barclays PLC, in whole in the event of certain changes in the tax or regulatory treatment of the securities. Any redemptions require the prior consent of the PRA.

All Barclays PLC AT1 securities will be converted into ordinary shares of Barclays PLC, at a pre-determined price, should the fully loaded CET1 ratio of the Group fall below 7%.

Currency translation reserve

The currency translation reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on the retranslation of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, net of the effects of hedging.

As at 30 June 2022, there was a credit balance of £4,443m (December 2021: £2,740m credit) in the currency translation reserve. The £1,703m credit movement principally reflects the weakening of GBP against USD during the period.

Fair value through other comprehensive income reserve

The fair value through other comprehensive income reserve represents the changes in the fair value of fair value through other comprehensive income investments since initial recognition.

As at 30 June 2022, there was a debit balance of £1,081m (December 2021: £283m debit) in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve. The loss of £798m is principally driven by a loss of £1,237m from the decrease in fair value of bonds due to increasing bond yields, £5m of net gains transferred to the income statement and £39m of gains transferred to retained earnings on sale of 7.45% equity stake in Absa Group Limited. This is partially offset by a gain of £153m due to an increase in the Absa Group Limited share price and a tax credit of £326m.

Cash flow hedging reserve

The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on effective cash flow hedging instruments that will be recycled to the income statement when the hedged transactions affect profit or loss.

As at 30 June 2022, there was a debit balance of £4,671m (December 2021: £853m debit) in the cash flow hedging reserve. The decrease of £3,818m principally reflects a £4,747m decrease in the fair value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes as major interest rate forward curves increased and £429m of gains transferred to the income statement. This is partially offset by a tax credit of £1,358m.

Own credit reserve

The own credit reserve reflects the cumulative own credit gains and losses on financial liabilities at fair value. Amounts in the own credit reserve are not recycled to profit or loss in future periods.

As at 30 June 2022, there was a debit balance of £103m (December 2021: £960m debit) in the own credit reserve. The movement of £857m principally reflects a £1,258m gain from the widening of Barclays’ funding spreads partially offset by a tax charge of £403m.

Other reserves and treasury shares

Other reserves relate to redeemed ordinary and preference shares issued by the Group. Treasury shares relate to Barclays PLC shares held principally in relation to the Group’s various share schemes.

As at 30 June 2022, there was a credit balance of £1,194m (December 2021: £1,126m credit) in other reserves and treasury shares. This is driven by an increase of £61m due to the repurchase of 244m shares as part of the £1.0bn share buyback and a £7m increase in the treasury shares balance held in relation to employee share schemes.

Legal, competition and regulatory matters

The Group faces legal, competition and regulatory challenges, many of which are beyond our control. The extent of the impact of these matters cannot always be predicted but may materially impact our operations, financial results, condition and prospects. Matters arising from a set of similar circumstances can give rise to either a contingent liability or a provision, or both, depending on the relevant facts and circumstances.

The recognition of provisions in relation to such matters involves critical accounting estimates and judgments in accordance with the relevant accounting policies applicable to Note 15, Provisions. We have not disclosed an estimate of the potential financial impact or effect on the Group of contingent liabilities where it is not currently practicable to do so. Various matters detailed in this note seek damages of an unspecified amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amounts do not necessarily reflect the Group’s potential financial exposure in respect of those matters.

Matters are ordered under headings corresponding to the financial statements in which they are disclosed.

1. Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC

Investigations into certain advisory services agreements

FCA proceedings

In 2008, Barclays Bank PLC and Qatar Holdings LLC entered into two advisory service agreements (the Agreements). The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) conducted an investigation into whether the Agreements may have related to Barclays PLC’s capital raisings in June and November 2008 (the Capital Raisings) and therefore should have been disclosed in the announcements or public documents relating to the Capital Raisings. In 2013, the FCA issued warning notices (the Notices) finding that Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC acted recklessly and in breach of certain disclosure-related listing rules, and that Barclays PLC was also in breach of Listing Principle 3. The financial penalty provided in the Notices is £50m. Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC continue to contest the findings. Following the conclusion of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) proceedings against certain former Barclays executives resulting in their acquittals, the FCA proceedings, which were stayed, have resumed. A hearing took place before the Regulatory Decisions Committee in the first quarter of 2022 and a decision is expected in the second half of 2022.

Investigations into LIBOR and other benchmarks and related civil actions

Regulators and law enforcement agencies, including certain competition authorities, from a number of governments have conducted investigations relating to Barclays Bank PLC’s involvement in allegedly manipulating certain financial benchmarks, such as LIBOR. Various individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to the alleged manipulation of LIBOR and/or other benchmarks.

USD LIBOR civil actions

The majority of the USD LIBOR cases, which have been filed in various US jurisdictions, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the US District Court in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). The complaints are substantially similar and allege, among other things, that Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) and other financial institutions individually and collectively violated provisions of the US Sherman Antitrust Act (Antitrust Act), the US Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), the US Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various state laws by manipulating USD LIBOR rates.

Putative class actions and individual actions seek unspecified damages with the exception of one lawsuit, in which the plaintiffs are seeking no less than $100m in actual damages and additional punitive damages against all defendants, including Barclays Bank PLC. Some of the lawsuits also seek trebling of damages under the Antitrust Act and RICO. Barclays Bank PLC has previously settled certain claims. Two class action settlements, where Barclays Bank PLC has respectively paid $7.1m and $20m, have received final court approval. Barclays Bank PLC also settled two further matters for $7.5m, and $1.95m respectively.

Sterling LIBOR civil actions

In 2016, two putative class actions filed in the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other Sterling LIBOR panel banks alleging, among other things, that the defendants manipulated the Sterling LIBOR rate in violation of the Antitrust Act, CEA and RICO, were consolidated. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the claims was granted in 2018. The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal.

Japanese Yen LIBOR civil actions

In 2012, a putative class action was filed in the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC and other Japanese Yen LIBOR panel banks by a lead plaintiff involved in exchange-traded derivatives and members of the Japanese Bankers Association’s Euroyen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (Euroyen TIBOR) panel. The complaint alleges, among other things, manipulation of the Euroyen TIBOR and Yen LIBOR rates and breaches of the CEA and the Antitrust Act. In 2014, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s antitrust claims, and, in 2020, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s remaining CEA claims. The plaintiff has appealed the lower court’s dismissal of such claims.

In 2015, a second putative class action, making similar allegations to the above class action, was filed in the SDNY against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI. Barclays and the plaintiffs have reached a settlement of $17.75m for both actions, which is subject to court approval.

SIBOR/SOR civil action

In 2016, a putative class action was filed in the SDNY against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other defendants, alleging manipulation of the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and Singapore Swap Offer Rate (SOR). The plaintiffs and remaining defendants (which includes Barclays Bank PLC) have reached a joint settlement to resolve this matter for $91m, which has received preliminary court approval. A final court approval hearing has been scheduled for November 2022. The financial impact of Barclays’ share of the joint settlement is not expected to be material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

ICE LIBOR civil actions

In 2019, several putative class actions were filed in the SDNY against a panel of banks, including Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BCI, other financial institution defendants and Intercontinental Exchange Inc. and certain of its affiliates (ICE), asserting antitrust claims that defendants manipulated USD LIBOR through defendants’ submissions to ICE. These actions have been consolidated. The defendants’ motion to dismiss was granted in 2020 and the plaintiffs appealed. In February 2022, the dismissal was affirmed on appeal. The plaintiffs have not sought U.S. Supreme Court review. This matter is now concluded.

In August 2020, an ICE LIBOR-related action was filed by a group of individual plaintiffs in the US District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of individual borrowers and consumers of loans and credit cards with variable interest rates linked to USD ICE LIBOR. The plaintiffs' motion seeking, among other things, preliminary and permanent injunctions to enjoin the defendants from continuing to set LIBOR or enforce any financial instrument that relies in whole or in part on USD LIBOR was denied. The defendants have moved to dismiss the case.

Non-US benchmarks civil actions

There remains one claim, issued in 2017, against Barclays Bank PLC and other banks in the UK in connection with alleged manipulation of LIBOR. Proceedings have also been brought in a number of other jurisdictions in Europe, Argentina and Israel relating to alleged manipulation of LIBOR and EURIBOR. Additional proceedings in other jurisdictions may be brought in the future.

Credit Default Swap civil action

A putative antitrust class action is pending in New Mexico federal court against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and various other financial institutions. The plaintiffs, the New Mexico State Investment Council and certain New Mexico pension funds, allege that the defendants conspired to manipulate the benchmark price used to value Credit Default Swap (CDS) contracts at settlement (i.e. the CDS final auction price). The plaintiffs allege violations of US antitrust laws and the CEA, and unjust enrichment under state law. The defendants have moved to dismiss the case.

Foreign Exchange investigations and related civil actions

In 2015, the Group reached settlements totalling approximately $2.38bn with various US federal and state authorities and the FCA in relation to investigations into certain sales and trading practices in the Foreign Exchange market.

The European Commission announced two settlements in May 2019 and the Group paid penalties totalling approximately €210m. In June 2019, the Swiss Competition Commission announced two settlements and the Group paid penalties totalling approximately CHF27m. In December 2021, the European Commission announced a final settlement which required the Group to pay penalties totalling approximately €54m, which amount has been provided for in previous periods. The financial impact of any ongoing investigations is not expected to be material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Various individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to alleged manipulation of Foreign Exchange markets.

FX opt out civil action

In 2018, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI settled a consolidated action filed in the SDNY, alleging manipulation of Foreign Exchange markets (Consolidated FX Action), for a total amount of $384m. Also in 2018, a group of plaintiffs who opted out of the Consolidated FX Action filed a complaint in the SDNY against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other defendants. Some of the plaintiffs' claims were dismissed in 2020.

Retail basis civil action

In 2015, a putative class action was filed against several international banks, including Barclays PLC and BCI, on behalf of a proposed class of individuals who exchanged currencies on a retail basis at bank branches (Retail Basis Claims). The SDNY has ruled that the Retail Basis Claims are not covered by the settlement agreement in the Consolidated FX Action. The Court subsequently dismissed all Retail Basis Claims against the Group and all other defendants. The plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint.

Non-US FX civil actions

Legal proceedings have been brought or are threatened against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and Barclays Execution Services Limited (BX) in connection with alleged manipulation of Foreign Exchange in the UK, a number of other jurisdictions in Europe, Israel, Brazil and Australia. Additional proceedings may be brought in the future.

The above-mentioned proceedings include two purported class actions filed against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BX, BCI and other financial institutions in the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) in 2019 following the settlements with the European Commission described above. The CAT refused to certify these claims in the first quarter of 2022 although the claimants are seeking permission to appeal. Also in 2019, a separate claim was filed in the UK in the High Court of Justice (High Court), and subsequently transferred to the CAT, by various banks and asset management firms against Barclays Bank PLC and other financial institutions alleging breaches of European and UK competition laws related to FX trading.

Metals related civil actions

A number of US civil complaints, each on behalf of a proposed class of plaintiffs, have been consolidated and transferred to the SDNY. The complaints allege that Barclays Bank PLC and other members of The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. manipulated the prices of gold and gold derivative contracts in violation of the Antitrust Act and other federal laws. The parties have reached a joint settlement to resolve this matter for $50m, which has received preliminary court approval, with the final court approval hearing scheduled for August 2022. The financial impact of Barclays’ share of the joint settlement is not expected to be material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position. A separate US civil complaint by a proposed class of plaintiffs against a number of banks, including Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and BX, alleging manipulation of the price of silver in violation of the CEA, the Antitrust Act and state antitrust and consumer protection laws, has been dismissed as against the Barclays entities. The plaintiffs have the option to seek the court’s permission to appeal.

Civil actions have also been filed in Canadian courts against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Canada Inc. and BCI on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs alleging manipulation of gold and silver prices.

US residential mortgage related civil actions

There are two pending US Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) related civil actions arising from unresolved repurchase requests submitted by Trustees for certain RMBS, alleging breaches of various loan-level representations and warranties (R&Ws) made by Barclays Bank PLC and/or a subsidiary acquired in 2007. In one action, the Barclays defendants’ motion for summary judgment was granted in June 2022 and the plaintiffs’ R&W breach claim was dismissed. The plaintiffs may appeal. The other repurchase action is pending.

Barclays Bank PLC has reached settlements to resolve two other repurchase actions, which have received final court approval. Payment of the settlement amount of one of those repurchase actions was completed in the first quarter of 2022, and the other will be completed in the third quarter of 2022. The financial impact of the settlements is not expected to be material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

In 2020, a civil litigation claim was filed in the New Mexico First Judicial District Court by the State of New Mexico against six banks, including BCI, on behalf of two New Mexico state pension funds and the New Mexico State Investment Council relating to legacy RMBS purchases. As to BCI, the complaint alleges that the funds purchased approximately $22m in RMBS underwritten by BCI. The parties have reached a joint settlement to resolve this matter for $32.5m. The settlement was paid in April 2022. The financial impact of BCI’s share of the joint settlement is not material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Government and agency securities civil actions

Treasury auction securities civil actions

Consolidated putative class action complaints filed in US federal court against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other financial institutions under the Antitrust Act and state common law allege that the defendants (i) conspired to manipulate the US Treasury securities market and/or (ii) conspired to prevent the creation of certain platforms by boycotting or threatening to boycott such trading platforms. The court dismissed the consolidated action in March 2021. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint was granted in March 2022. The plaintiffs are appealing this decision.

In addition, certain plaintiffs have filed a related, direct action against BCI and certain other financial institutions, alleging that defendants conspired to fix and manipulate the US Treasury securities market in violation of the Antitrust Act, the CEA and state common law.

Supranational, Sovereign and Agency bonds civil actions

Civil antitrust actions have been filed in the SDNY and Federal Court of Canada in Toronto against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI, BX, Barclays Capital Securities Limited and, with respect to the civil action filed in Canada only, Barclays Capital Canada, Inc. and other financial institutions alleging that the defendants conspired to fix prices and restrain competition in the market for US dollar-denominated Supranational, Sovereign and Agency bonds.

In one of the actions filed in the SDNY, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint. The dismissal was affirmed on appeal; however, the district court subsequently informed the parties of a potential conflict. The motion to dismiss were assigned to a new district court judge and the plaintiffs have moved to vacate the dismissal order. The plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed the other SDNY action. In the Federal Court of Canada action, the plaintiffs reached settlements with a small number of banks in 2020 (not including Barclays Capital Canada, Inc.). The plaintiffs have commenced the class certification process. There is no court scheduled deadline and the action remains at an early stage.

Variable Rate Demand Obligations civil actions

Civil actions have been filed against Barclays Bank PLC and BCI and other financial institutions alleging the defendants conspired or colluded to artificially inflate interest rates set for Variable Rate Demand Obligations (VRDOs). VRDOs are municipal bonds with interest rates that reset on a periodic basis, most commonly weekly. Two actions in state court have been filed by private plaintiffs on behalf of the states of Illinois and California. Three putative class action complaints have been consolidated in the SDNY. In the consolidated SDNY class action, certain of the plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed in November 2020 and defendants’ motion for partial dismissal of the amended consolidated complaint was granted in part and denied in part in June 2022. In the California action, the plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed in June 2021. The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal.

Odd-lot corporate bonds antitrust class action

In 2020, BCI, together with other financial institutions, were named as defendants in a putative class action. The complaint alleges a conspiracy to boycott developing electronic trading platforms for odd-lots and price fixing. The plaintiffs demand unspecified money damages. The defendants’ motion to dismiss was granted in 2021 and the plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal. The district court subsequently informed the parties of a potential conflict and the case was reassigned to a new district court judge. The plaintiffs have filed a motion seeking a ruling that would vacate the dismissal and allow the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint if the appeals court remands the case for further proceedings.

Interest rate swap and credit default swap US civil actions

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI, together with other financial institutions that act as market makers for interest rate swaps (IRS) are named as defendants in several antitrust class actions which were consolidated in the SDNY in 2016. The complaints allege the defendants conspired to prevent the development of exchanges for IRS and demand unspecified money damages.

In 2018, trueEX LLC filed an antitrust class action in the SDNY against a number of financial institutions including Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI based on similar allegations with respect to trueEX LLC’s development of an IRS platform. In 2017, Tera Group Inc. filed a separate civil antitrust action in the SDNY claiming that certain conduct alleged in the IRS cases also caused the plaintiff to suffer harm with respect to the Credit Default Swaps market. In 2018 and 2019, respectively, the court dismissed certain claims in both cases for unjust enrichment and tortious interference but denied motions to dismiss the federal and state antitrust claims, which remain pending.

BDC Finance L.L.C.

In 2008, BDC Finance L.L.C. (BDC) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (NY Supreme Court), demanding damages of $298m, alleging that Barclays Bank PLC had breached a contract in connection with a portfolio of total return swaps governed by an ISDA Master Agreement (the Master Agreement). Following a trial, the court ruled in 2018 that Barclays Bank PLC was not a defaulting party, which was affirmed on appeal. In April 2021, the trial court entered judgement in favour of Barclays Bank PLC for $3.3m and as yet to be determined legal fees and costs. BDC appealed. In January 2022, the appellate court reversed the trial court’s summary judgment decision in favour of Barclays Bank PLC and remanded the case to the lower court for further proceedings, with the trial scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In 2011, BDC’s investment advisor, BDCM Fund Adviser, L.L.C. and its parent company, Black Diamond Capital Holdings, L.L.C. also sued Barclays Bank PLC and BCI in Connecticut State Court for unspecified damages allegedly resulting from Barclays Bank PLC’s conduct relating to the Master Agreement, asserting claims for violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and tortious interference with business and prospective business relations. This case is currently stayed.

Civil actions in respect of the US Anti-Terrorism Act

There are a number of civil actions, on behalf of more than 4,000 plaintiffs, filed in US federal courts in the US District Court in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) and SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC and a number of other banks. The complaints generally allege that Barclays Bank PLC and those banks engaged in a conspiracy to facilitate US dollar-denominated transactions for the Iranian Government and various Iranian banks, which in turn funded acts of terrorism that injured or killed the plaintiffs or the plaintiffs’ family members. The plaintiffs seek to recover damages for pain, suffering and mental anguish under the provisions of the US Anti-Terrorism Act, which allow for the trebling of any proven damages.

The court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss three out of the six actions in the EDNY. The plaintiffs have appealed in one action. The remaining actions are stayed pending a decision on the appeal. Out of the two actions in the SDNY, the court also granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the first action, which is stayed pending a decision on the EDNY appeal. The second SDNY action is stayed, pending any appeal on the dismissal of the first.

Shareholder derivative action

In November 2020, a purported Barclays shareholder filed a putative derivative action in New York state court against BCI and a number of current and former members of the Board of Directors of Barclays PLC and senior executives or employees of the Group. The shareholder filed the claim on behalf of nominal defendant Barclays PLC, alleging that the individual defendants harmed the company through breaches of their duties, including under the Companies Act 2006. The plaintiff seeks damages on behalf of Barclays PLC for the losses that Barclays PLC allegedly suffered as a result of these alleged breaches. An amended complaint was filed in April 2021, which BCI and certain other defendants moved to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was granted in April 2022. The plaintiffs are appealing the decision.

Derivative transactions civil action

In 2021, Vestia (a Dutch housing association) brought a claim against Barclays Bank PLC in the UK in the High Court in relation to a series of derivative transactions entered into with Barclays Bank PLC between 2008 and 2011, seeking damages of £329m. Barclays Bank PLC is defending the claim and has made a counterclaim.

Timeshare loans, skilled person review, and associated matters

In August 2020, the FCA granted an application by Clydesdale Financial Services Limited (CFS), which trades as Barclays Partner Finance and houses Barclays’ point-of-sale finance business, for a validation order with respect to certain loans to customers brokered between April 2014 and April 2016 by Azure Services Limited (ASL), a timeshare operator, which did not, at the point of sale, hold the necessary broker licence. As a condition to the validation order, the FCA required CFS to undertake a skilled person review of the assessment of affordability processes for the loans brokered by ASL (ASL Loans) as well as CFS’ policies and procedures for assessing affordability and oversight of brokers more generally, and dictated a remediation methodology in the event that ASL Loans did not pass the affordability test. CFS voluntarily agreed to remediate the ASL Loans, in accordance with the FCA’s methodology and the remediation exercise is substantively complete. The remaining scope of the skilled person review is also complete. The skilled person made a number of observations, some of which were adverse, about both current and historic affordability practices as well as current oversight practices. CFS is not required to conduct a full back book review but, following a review of certain cohorts of loans to determine historic affordability and/or broker oversight practices that may have caused customer harm, where harm is identified, CFS’ intention is to remediate. To date CFS has identified a number of areas for remediation but the scoping exercise is ongoing. Separately, and notwithstanding this, CFS decided in March 2022 to extend the proactive remediation of ASL Loans beyond those brokered between April 2014 to April 2016 to include the full portfolio of ASL Loans brokered between 2006 and 2018. In the first quarter of 2022, a customer remediation provision of £181m has been recognised in relation to the remediation of the ASL Loans originated outside the April 2014 to April 2016 period. This provision represents the best estimate as at 30 June 2022.

CFS continues to review complaints about other legacy partner finance loans, however, it is not currently possible to predict the outcome of this review or the financial impact on the Group.

Over-issuance of securities in the US

Barclays Bank PLC maintains a US shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to issue securities to US investors. In May 2017, Barclays Bank PLC was the subject of an SEC settlement order as a result of which it lost its status as a “well-known seasoned issuer” (or WKSI) and was required to register a specified amount of securities to be issued under any US shelf registration statements filed with the SEC.

On 10 March 2022, executive management became aware that Barclays Bank PLC had issued securities materially in excess of the set amount under its 2019 US shelf registration statement (2019 F-3) and subsequently became aware that securities had also been issued in excess of the set amount under the predecessor US shelf registration statement (the Predecessor Shelf). The securities that have been over-issued comprise structured notes and exchange traded notes (ETNs). Securities issued in excess of the amount registered are considered to be “unregistered securities” for the purposes of US securities laws, with certain purchasers of those securities having a right to recover, upon the tender of such security to Barclays Bank PLC, the consideration paid for such security with interest, less the amount of any income received, or to recover damages from Barclays Bank PLC if the purchaser no longer owns the security and had sold the security at a loss (the Rescission Price). Barclays Bank PLC is expected to launch a rescission offer on 1 August 2022, by which Barclays Bank PLC will offer to repurchase the relevant affected securities for the rescission price (the Rescission Offer). Although the Rescission Offer is expected to reduce liability with respect to potential private civil claims, it will not necessarily prevent such claims from being asserted against Barclays Bank PLC and/or its affiliates, including claims under applicable US federal securities laws.

Further, the Rescission Offer does not bar the SEC and other regulators from pursuing enforcement actions against Barclays Bank PLC and its affiliates, which are expected to result in fines, penalties and/or other sanctions. The Group is engaged with, and responding to inquiries and requests for information from, various regulators, including the SEC. The SEC’s investigation into this matter is at an advanced stage and the Group has had preliminary discussions with the staff of the SEC's Division of Enforcement about resolving this matter.

As at 30 June 2022, Barclays PLC has recognised a balance sheet provision of £1,757m (December 2021: £220m) in relation to this matter, out of which £1,592m (December 2021: £220m) relates to the over-issuance of structured notes and £165m (December 2021: nil) relates to liabilities that could be incurred arising out of ongoing discussions in respect of a potential SEC resolution.

A contingent liability exists in relation to the 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 civil claims or enforcement actions taken against Barclays Bank PLC and/or its affiliates, but Barclays Bank PLC is unable to assess the likelihood of liabilities that may arise out of such claims or actions. Any liabilities, claims or actions in connection with the over-issuance of securities under its 2019 F-3 and the Predecessor Shelf 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.

Investigation into the use of unapproved communications platforms

In July 2022, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI reached an agreement in principle with the staff of the SEC's Division of Enforcement and the staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in connection with investigations by the SEC and the CFTC of Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other financial institutions as part of a financial industry sweep regarding compliance with record-keeping obligations in connection with business-related communications sent over unapproved electronic messaging platforms. The SEC and the CFTC found that Barclays Bank PLC and BCI failed to comply with their respective record keeping rules, where such communications were sent or received by employees over electronic messaging channels that had not been approved by the bank for business use by employees. The proposed resolution with the SEC and the CFTC, will include Barclays Bank PLC and BCI paying a combined $125m civil monetary penalty to the SEC and a $75m civil monetary penalty to the CFTC. There will also be non-financial components to the settlements which have yet to be finalised and agreed with the SEC and CFTC. Subject to final agreement of the terms of the settlements and related documentation, as well as the SEC's and CFTC's approval, the civil monetary penalties are expected to be paid during the third quarter of 2022.

2. Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) assessments concerning UK Value Added Tax

In 2018, HMRC issued notices that have the effect of removing certain overseas subsidiaries that have operations in the UK from Barclays’ UK VAT group, in which group supplies between members are generally free from VAT. The notices have retrospective effect and correspond to assessments of £181m (inclusive of interest), of which Barclays would expect to attribute an amount of approximately £128m to Barclays Bank UK PLC and £53m to Barclays Bank PLC. HMRC’s decision has been appealed to the First Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber).

Local authority civil actions concerning LIBOR

Following settlement by Barclays Bank PLC of various governmental investigations concerning certain benchmark interest rate submissions referred to above in ‘Investigations into LIBOR and other benchmarks and related civil actions’, in the UK, certain local authorities brought claims in 2018 against Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC asserting that they entered into loans between 2006 and 2008 in reliance on misrepresentations made by Barclays Bank PLC in respect of its conduct in relation to LIBOR. Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC were successful in their applications to strike out the claims. The claims have been settled on terms such that the parties have agreed not to pursue these claims further and to bear their own costs. The financial impact of the settlements is not material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

3. Barclays PLC

Alternative trading systems

In 2020, a claim was brought against Barclays PLC in the UK in the High Court by various shareholders regarding Barclays PLC’s share price based on the allegations contained within a complaint by the New York State Attorney General (NYAG) in 2014. Such claim was settled in 2016, as previously disclosed. The more recent claim seeks unquantified damages and Barclays is defending the claim. The NYAG complaint was filed against Barclays PLC and BCI in the NY Supreme Court alleging, among other things, that Barclays PLC and BCI engaged in fraud and deceptive practices in connection with LX, BCI’s SEC-registered alternative trading system.

General

The Group is engaged in various other legal, competition and regulatory matters in the UK, the US and a number of other overseas jurisdictions. It is subject to legal proceedings brought by and against the Group which arise in the ordinary course of business from time to time, including (but not limited to) disputes in relation to contracts, securities, debt collection, consumer credit, fraud, trusts, client assets, competition, data management and protection, intellectual property, money laundering, financial crime, employment, environmental and other statutory and common law issues.

The Group is also subject to enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, investigations and legal and other proceedings by regulators, governmental and other public bodies in connection with (but not limited to) consumer protection measures, compliance with legislation and regulation, wholesale trading activity and other areas of banking and business activities in which the Group is or has been engaged. The Group is cooperating with the relevant authorities and keeping all relevant agencies briefed as appropriate in relation to these matters and others described in this note on an ongoing basis.

At the present time, Barclays PLC does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters and the matters specifically described in this note, there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular matter or matters (including formerly active matters or those matters arising after the date of this note) will not be material to Barclays PLC’s results, operations or cash flow for a particular period, depending on, among other things, the amount of the loss resulting from the matter(s) and the amount of profit otherwise reported for the reporting period.

22.

Related party transactions

Related party transactions in the half year ended 30 June 2022 were similar in nature to those disclosed in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021. No related party transactions that have taken place in the half year ended 30 June 2022 have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during this period.

23.

 Interest rate benchmark reform

Following the financial crisis, the reform and replacement of benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR became a priority for global regulators. The FCA and other global regulators instructed market participants to prepare for the cessation of GBP, EUR, CHF, JPY LIBOR and the 1-week and 2-month USD settings of LIBOR after the end of 2021, The remaining USD LIBOR settings are scheduled to cease immediately after 30 June 2023.

How the Group is managing the transition to alternative benchmark rates

Barclays established a Group-wide LIBOR Transition Programme, further detail on the transition programme is available in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021 (Page 417). This Programme oversaw transition for GBP, EUR, CHF and JPY LIBOR exposures and continues to work to transition the remaining residual of unremediated exposures off of synthetic rates, in addition to overseeing USD LIBOR transition in preparation for the 30 June 2023 cessation.

The majority of GBP, EUR, CHF and JPY exposures have now transitioned off of LIBOR and good progress has been made with the unremediated exposures reported at year-end 2021. A small residual population of GBP, EUR and JPY contracts remain unremediated at the end of H1 2022. The majority of these have now reset onto GBP and JPY Synthetic LIBOR rates. We continue to work with clients to bilaterally transition these trades and have raised potential risks regarding note holder consent for securitised products and Local Authority consent for Public Finance Initiative (PFI) loan deals with our regulators.

The Barclays Group-wide LIBOR Transition Programme has also commenced focus on the transition of USD LIBOR exposures impacted by the 30 June 2023 cessation timeline. As with GBP, EUR, CHF and JPY LIBOR, USD LIBOR transition approaches will vary by product and nature of counterparty. H122 saw focused efforts to transition uncommitted lending exposure with further wide scale client engagement for other products due to commence in H222. Both active conversion of exposures and inclusion of fallback provisions will be leveraged for bilateral derivative and non-derivatives products. For cleared derivatives, Barclays is working with central clearing counterparties (CCPs) on transition which is expected to follow a market wide, standardised approach to reform similar to the CCP-led conversions in 2021.

The Group met the Q121 Federal Reserve Bank of New York milestone to cease new use of US dollar LIBOR, with limited exceptions. The Group has put in place controls so that any exceptions or exemptions are approved.

Investment in subsidiaries

The investment in subsidiaries of £63,633m (December 2021: £62,528m) predominantly relates to investments in the ordinary shares of Barclays Bank PLC of £36,340m (December 2021: £35,590m) and their AT1 securities of £9,849m (December 2021: £9,493m), as well as investments in the ordinary shares of Barclays Bank UK PLC of £14,245m (December 2021: £14,245m) and their AT1 securities of £2,570m (December 2021: £2,570m). Barclays PLC considers the carrying value of its investment in subsidiaries to be fully recoverable.

Loans and advances to subsidiaries

During the period, loans and advances to subsidiaries decreased by £1,703m to £20,369m (December 2021: £22,072m). The decrease was driven by the maturity of £2,296m intragroup loans to Barclays Bank PLC and the maturity of £836m intragroup loans to Barclays Bank UK PLC. There was also a £397m share buyback which took place in Q222. This was partially offset by a foreign exchange impact of £1,326m due to depreciation of GBP against major currencies (although the FX impact is offset across the balance sheet liabilities) and £1,010m dividend receipts from Barclays Bank UK PLC.

Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value

Financial liabilities designated at fair value of £16,888m (December 2021: £16,319m) comprise material issuances during the period of €2,250m Fixed Rate Resetting Senior Callable Notes and $400m Zero Coupon Callable Notes. The proceeds raised through these transactions were used to invest in subsidiaries of Barclays PLC which are included within the financial assets designated at fair value through the income statement balance of £24,052m (December 2021: £25,091m).

Subordinated liabilities and debt securities in issue

During the period, subordinated liabilities have increased to £10,070m (December 2021: £9,301m) largely driven by foreign exchange impact of £819m due to depreciation of GBP against major currencies. Debt securities in issue of £22,389m (December 2021: £25,658m) have reduced in the year due to the maturity of senior issuances.

Called up share capital and share premium

Called up share capital and share premium of Barclays PLC is £4,508m (December 2021: £4,536m). The decrease in the year is primarily due to 244m shares repurchased with a total nominal value of £61m. This decrease was offset by £33m of shares issued under employee share schemes.

Other equity instruments

Other equity instruments comprises AT1 securities issued by Barclays PLC. The increase in the year of £106m is driven by one issuance (principal amount of £1,250m) and one redemption (principal amount of $1,500m).

Other reserves

As at 30 June 2022, there was a balance of £616m (December 2021: £555m) in other reserves. The increase is due to the repurchase of shares as part of the share buyback.

Management of internal investments, loans and advances

Barclays PLC retains the discretion to manage the nature of its internal investments in subsidiaries according to their regulatory and business needs. Barclays PLC may invest capital and funding into Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Bank UK PLC and other Group subsidiaries such as Barclays Execution Services Limited and the US Intermediate Holding Company (IHC).

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.
