Q3 2019 Results Announcement

30 September 2019

Performance Highlights

Resilient performance delivering a year-to-date

Group return on tangible equity of 9.7% (excluding litigation and conduct)

●	The Group delivered a Q319 return on average tangible equity (RoTE) of 10.2%, resulting in a Q319 YTD RoTE of 9.7%1
●	The Group continues to target a >9% RoTE for 2019 and >10% for 20201. However, given global macroeconomic uncertainty and the current low interest rate environment, it has become more challenging to achieve these targets, particularly with respect to 2020
●	Continuing to improve returns on a sustainable basis remains a key priority for the Group, whilst also delivering attractive capital returns to shareholders and investing in key business growth initiatives
●	The strengthening of the USD/GBP foreign exchange rate in the third quarter, whilst increasing costs and impairment, provided a greater benefit to income and profits

Returns1 Group RoTE targets of >9% in 2019 and >10% in 2020	●	Group profit before tax of £4.9bn (Q318 YTD: £5.3bn) and earnings per share (EPS) of 19.7p (Q318 YTD: 21.6p)
	●	Group Q319 YTD RoTE of 9.7% (Q318 YTD: 11.1%)
		- Barclays UK RoTE of 17.2% (Q318 YTD: 18.9%)
		- Barclays International RoTE of 10.4% (Q318 YTD: 11.6%), with a Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) RoTE of 9.3% (Q318 YTD: 9.7%) and Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) RoTE of 15.8% (Q318 YTD: 21.7%)
Cost efficiency Cost: income ratio of <60% over time	●	Group operating expenses were stable at £10.1bn, resulting in a cost: income ratio of 62%1 (Q318 YTD: 62%) and positive jaws, reflecting cost efficiencies offset by continued investment in the business
	●	Cost control remains a priority given the challenging income environment experienced in the first three quarters of the year
	●	Group cost guidance unchanged; management expects to reduce 2019 costs below £13.6bn2
Capital and dividends CET1 ratio target becomes c.13.5% following discussions with regulators on operational risk change	●	Common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.4% (December 2018: 13.2%)
	●	Following discussions with regulators, the Group has removed the operational risk Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs) floor which it had previously applied, resulting in a £14.2bn reduction in total RWAs. This increased the CET1 ratio by c.60bps. As a result, the target CET1 ratio has been revised to c.13.5%. The total capital requirement for operational risk remains unchanged
	●	The Group paid a half year dividend of 3p which is expected to represent, under normal circumstances, around one-third of the total dividend for the year

●	Group profit before tax was £3.3bn (Q318 YTD: £3.1bn) and, excluding litigation and conduct, was £4.9bn (Q318 YTD: £5.3bn). The cost: income ratio was 62% (Q318 YTD: 62%), with Barclays International income up 4%. Credit impairment charges increased to £1.4bn (Q318 YTD: £0.8bn), due to the non-recurrence of favourable US macroeconomic scenario updates and single name recoveries in Q318 YTD. Credit metrics remained stable across both secured and unsecured lending
●	Barclays UK profit before tax was £0.4bn (Q318 YTD: £1.6bn). This included an additional provision for Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) of £1.4bn (Q318 YTD: £0.4bn). Excluding litigation and conduct, profit before tax was £1.9bn (Q318 YTD: £2.0bn). Income declined 2%, as ongoing margin pressure was partially offset by continued growth in mortgages and deposits. Operating expenses were stable as cost efficiency savings were offset by planned digital investment and inflation
●	Barclays International profit before tax was £3.5bn (Q318 YTD: £3.6bn) driven by 4% increases in both CIB and CC&P income. Operating expenses increased 1% due to continued investment in the business. Credit impairment charges increased from £0.3bn to £0.8bn, due to the non-recurrence of favourable US macroeconomic scenario updates and single name recoveries in Q318 YTD
●	Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share was 274p (December 2018: 262p) as 10.4p of statutory EPS (which included the effect of the additional provision for PPI of 8p per share in Q319) and positive net reserve movements, were partially offset by dividend payments totalling 7p per share

1	Excluding litigation and conduct, with returns targets based on a Group CET1 ratio of c.13.5%.
2	Excluding litigation and conduct, calculated using a USD/GBP FX rate of 1.27 and subject to foreign currency movements.

James E Staley, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

“For the year to September our Group RoTE stands at 9.7%, including a 10.2% return in the third quarter.

Profit before tax was just under £5bn, excluding litigation and conduct, and earnings per share were 19.7 pence for the nine months.

These represent another set of consistent and resilient results, and they show the benefits of our diversified model - one which allows us to weather today’s macro headwinds, and grow our businesses and profitability over time.

In Barclays UK, the business has delivered a robust year-to-date RoTE of 17.2%, including 21.2% in the third quarter, through mortgage and deposit balance growth.

The CIB has produced an RoTE of 9.3% for the first nine months, including 9.2% in the third quarter. This reflects a strong performance in Markets, with income up in the quarter by 13%, and in Banking, where income rose by 33%.

Our CC&P business produced an RoTE of 15.8%, and we are targeting further growth in US cards, with a particular focus on capturing new partnership opportunities, a core strength of the Barclays franchise in the States.

As we continue to invest in our digital capabilities across the bank, management’s focus on cost control remains a priority. Our cost to income ratio was stable at 62%, and we continue to expect to see positive jaws across the Group over the remainder of the year, and for the full year.

These results show we remain on track to achieve our target of a group return of greater than 9% for 2019. We continue to target an RoTE of greater than 10% in 2020, though we acknowledge that the outlook for next year is unquestionably more challenging now than it appeared a year ago, in particular given the uncertainty around the UK economy and the interest rate environment.

Despite the impact to profitability of the £1.4bn PPI provision, our CET1 ratio of 13.4% continues to be within our target, which is revised to c.13.5%, now that our operational risk RWAs are accounted for more consistently with UK peers.”

1	From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments in relation to Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments has been recognised in the tax charge of the income statement, whereas it was previously recorded in retained earnings. Comparatives have been restated, reducing the tax charge for Q318 year to date by £141m. This change does not impact EPS or return on average tangible shareholders’ equity.

Group Finance Director’s Review

Group performance

●	Profit before tax was £3,260m (Q318 YTD: £3,120m), including an additional provision for PPI of £1,400m (Q318 YTD: £400m) in Q319. Excluding litigation and conduct, profit before tax was £4,942m (Q318 YTD: £5,267m), with higher income and stable operating expenses offset by increased credit impairment charges. The 6% appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and operating expenses
●	Total income increased 2% to £16,331m. Barclays UK income decreased 2% as ongoing margin pressure and continued reduced risk appetite in UK cards were partially offset by mortgage and deposit balance growth. Barclays International income was up 4%, across both CIB and CC&P. The higher CIB income was due to positive performance in FICC, Banking fees and Transaction banking, partially offset by reduced client activity in Equities and a reduction in Corporate lending. The higher CC&P income reflected balance growth in US cards and partnership growth in merchant acquiring
●	Credit impairment charges increased to £1,389m (Q318 YTD: £825m). Economic scenarios were updated in Q319, as part of a review which is conducted at least annually. The prior year benefitted from favourable US macroeconomic scenario updates and single name recoveries, whilst Q319 impairment reflects a c.£60m net charge from revised scenarios, impacting primarily the Group’s UK and US cards portfolios. Credit metrics remained stable across both secured and unsecured lending, reflecting the continued prudent management of credit risk
●	Operating expenses were stable at £10,051m, as cost efficiencies were offset by continued investment in the business. The cost: income ratio, excluding litigation and conduct, was stable at 62% (Q318 YTD: 62%)
●	The effective tax rate was 25.0%. Excluding litigation and conduct, the underlying effective tax rate was 17.9%
●	Attributable profit was £1,780m (Q318 YTD: £1,611m). Excluding litigation and conduct, attributable profit was £3,391m (Q318 YTD: £3,685m), generating a RoTE of 9.7% (Q318 YTD: 11.1%) and EPS of 19.7p (Q318 YTD: 21.6p)

Barclays UK

●	Profit before tax, excluding litigation and conduct, decreased 7% to £1,899m. RoTE was robust at 17.2% (Q318 YTD: 18.9%), reflecting the resilience of the Barclays UK business in a challenging income environment. Including litigation and conduct charges of £1,524m (Q318 YTD: £468m), profit before tax was £375m (Q318 YTD: £1,566m)
●	Total income decreased 2% to £5,394m due to a 2% decrease in net interest income to £4,410m
	-	Personal Banking income decreased 2% to £2,945m, reflecting ongoing mortgage margin pressure, partially offset by mortgage and deposit balance growth and improved liability margins
	-	Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 8% to £1,459m reflecting a continued reduced risk appetite and reduced borrowing by customers, which resulted in a lower level of interest earning lending (IEL) balances
	-	Business Banking income increased 6% to £990m driven by deposit and lending growth, improved liability margins and the non-recurrence of client remediation in Q318 YTD
	-	Net interest margin decreased 14bps to 3.10%, reflecting increased refinancing activity by mortgage customers, lower IEL balances in UK cards, and the mix effect from growth in secured lending
●	Credit impairment charges decreased 2% to £522m, primarily reflecting an improved risk profile in UK cards and releases of single name exposures in Business Banking, partially offset by the impact of UK macroeconomic scenario updates of c.£30m, primarily impacting the UK cards portfolio. The 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK cards decreased to 1.7% (Q318: 1.8%) and 0.8% (Q318: 0.9%) respectively
●	Operating expenses were stable at £2,973m (Q318 YTD: £2,961m) as cost efficiencies were offset by planned digital investment in the business and inflation. The cost: income ratio, excluding litigation and conduct, was 55% (Q318 YTD: 54%)
●	RWAs increased to £76.8bn (December 2018: £75.2bn) including the recognition of property leases following the implementation of IFRS 16, growth in Mortgages and Business Banking and a change in the mix of assets in the liquidity pool

Barclays International

●	Profit before tax, excluding litigation and conduct, decreased 4% to £3,508m with a RoTE of 10.4% (Q318 YTD: 11.6%), reflecting returns in the CIB of 9.3% (Q318 YTD: 9.7%) and CC&P of 15.8% (Q318 YTD: 21.7%)
●	The 6% appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits, and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and operating expenses
●	Total income increased to £11,223m (Q318 YTD: £10,805m)
	-	CIB income increased 4% to £7,917m
		−	Within Markets, FICC income increased 15% to £2,638m reflecting a strong performance in rates and growth in securitised products. Equities income decreased 11% to £1,478m driven by equity derivatives, which were impacted by reduced client activity. Included in Markets was a £126m gain related to the Tradeweb position and a net loss of £40m due to the impact of treasury operations and hedging counterparty risk
		−	Banking fees income increased 3% to £1,955m driven by an increase in advisory fees, partially offset by lower debt underwriting fees reflecting a reduced Banking fee pool1. However, Barclays share of the global Banking fee pool has increased since FY18, to 4.4%1
		−	Within Corporate, Transaction banking income increased 6% to £1,283m reflecting growth in deposits. This was offset by a decrease in Corporate lending income to £563m (Q318 YTD: £635m). Excluding mark-to-market movements on loan hedges, Corporate lending income was broadly stable
	-	CC&P income increased 4% to £3,306m reflecting balance growth in the US cards business and partnership growth in merchant acquiring
●	Credit impairment charges increased to £844m (Q318 YTD: £304m)
	-	CIB credit impairment charges increased to £127m (Q318 YTD: release of £185m) due to the non-recurrence of favourable macroeconomic scenario updates and single name recoveries in Q318 YTD
	-	CC&P credit impairment charges increased to £717m (Q318 YTD: £489m) due to the non-recurrence of favourable US macroeconomic scenario updates in Q318 YTD. Q319 included the impact of macroeconomic scenario updates, predominantly in the US, of c.£30m. Credit metrics decreased, with US cards 30 and 90 day arrears of 2.6% (Q318: 2.7%) and 1.3% (Q318: 1.4%) respectively
●	Operating expenses increased 1% to £6,923m
	-	CIB operating expenses decreased 1% to £5,191m as cost efficiencies were partially offset by continued investment in the business
	-	CC&P operating expenses increased 7% to £1,732m driven by continued investment across the businesses
●	RWAs increased to £223.1bn (December 2018: £210.7bn), driven by an increase in CIB activity and appreciation of USD against GBP

Head Office

●	Loss before tax of £593m (Q318 YTD: £2,006m), included litigation and conduct charges of £128m (Q318 YTD: £1,585m), reflecting the non-recurrence of the Residential Mortgage Backed Securities settlement in Q318 YTD
●	Total income was an expense of £286m (Q318 YTD: £262m) which included legacy capital instrument funding costs, treasury items and hedge accounting expenses, partially offset by the recognition of dividends on Barclays stake in Absa Group Limited. Income expense increased reflecting the non-recurrence of a £155m one-off gain from the settlement of receivables relating to the Lehman Brothers acquisition in Q318 YTD, partially offset by lower net expenses from treasury operations and hedge accounting
●	Operating expenses, excluding litigation and conduct, were £155m (Q318 YTD: £159m)
●	RWAs decreased to £13.4bn (December 2018: £26.0bn) mainly driven by the removal of the Group’s operational risk RWAs floor, partially offset by the recognition of property leases following the implementation of IFRS 16

1	Data Source: Dealogic, for the period covering 1 January to 30 September 2019.

Group capital and leverage

●	The Group’s CET1 ratio increased to 13.4% (December 2018: 13.2%). The increase was primarily driven by a reduction in the Group’s RWAs due to the removal of the operational risk floor effective from 30 September 2019
		-	CET1 capital increased by £0.8bn to £41.9bn. This was driven by underlying profit generation of £4.0bn partially offset by dividends paid and foreseen of £1.8bn, the additional provision for PPI of £1.4bn, pension deficit reduction contribution payments of £0.5bn and a loss on the redemption of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities of £0.4bn
		-	RWAs increased by £1.4bn to £313.3bn primarily driven by an increase in CIB, offset by the reduction in the Group’s operational risk RWAs
●	The Group previously applied a floor to its Pillar 1 capital requirements for operational risk, which was set by reference to the Group’s total operational risk RWAs as at 31 December 2017 of £56.7bn. Following discussions with regulators, the Group has removed this floor with effect from 30 September 2019, thereby reducing RWAs by £14.2bn and increasing the Group’s CET1 ratio by c.60bps
●	Following the removal of the Pillar 1 operational risk floor, the Group has received a new Pillar 2A requirement (as per the Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA’s) Individual Capital Requirement) effective from 24 October 2019. This has increased the Pillar 2A CET1 requirement by c.35bps to 3.0% and the Group’s overall capital requirement from 11.7% to 12.0%. The total capital requirement for operational risk remains unchanged. As a result, the Group is targeting a CET1 ratio of c.13.5% going forward
●	The average UK leverage ratio increased to 4.6% (December 2018: 4.5%) primarily driven by an increase in Tier 1 (T1) capital, which included the accretion of CET1 capital and a net increase of AT1 capital, partially offset by an increase in exposure to £1,171bn (December 2018: £1,110bn). The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.8% (December 2018: 5.1%)

Group funding and liquidity

●

The liquidity pool was stable at £226bn (December 2018: £227bn), reflecting the Group’s prudent liquidity management approach. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) remained well above the 100% regulatory requirement at 151% (December 2018: 169%), equivalent to a surplus of £77bn (December 2018: £90bn). The LCR and surplus have been managed down through the course of the year, supporting increased business funding requirements while maintaining a conservative liquidity position

●

Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £162bn (December 2018: £154bn). The Group issued £8.2bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments year-to-date from Barclays PLC (the Parent company). The Group is well advanced in its MREL issuance plans, with a Barclays PLC MREL ratio of 30.4% as at 30 September 2019 relative to an estimated requirement including requisite buffers of 31.2% by 1 January 2022. This increased from 29.9% as at 30 June 2019 due to the revision of the Group’s Pillar 2A requirement, following the removal of the Group’s operational risk RWAs floor

Other matters

●	The Group called three AT1 instruments eligible for call on 15 September 2019. The redemptions resulted in a decrease of 13bps to the CET1 ratio due to two of these instruments being held on the balance sheet at historical FX rates
●	The risks associated with the process of the UK withdrawal from the European Union continue to be closely monitored. Impairment stock as at 30 September 2019 includes an adjustment of £150m representing the anticipated impact of economic uncertainty in the UK

Payment Protection Insurance

●	Following the increase to the provision of £1.4bn and provision utilisation of £350m during the third quarter, the Group held a provision of £1.4bn against the cost of PPI redress and associated processing costs as at 30 September 2019. The Group has recognised £11bn of cumulative provisions to date
	The provision increase at Q319 is attributable to the exceptional level of claims and information requests from customers and Claims Management Companies (CMCs) ahead of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) complaint deadline of 29 August 2019 and enquiries from the Official Receiver on behalf of bankrupt individuals
	At the end of Q319, there were in excess of 2m claims, enquiries and information requests at various stages of processing. The increase in provision has been calculated by applying a number of assumptions to this population, which are based on limited observations from processing completed to date, historical experience and management judgement. These assumptions include the proportion of claims and information requests expected to be valid. The provision estimate is more sensitive to this assumption given the volumes
	The following table outlines key assumptions regarding the proportion of valid claims used in the provision calculation as at 30 September 2019 and a sensitivity analysis illustrating the impact on the provision, if the assumptions prove too high or low

	Historically Observed	Current Assumption	Sensitivity £m
	Valid %	Valid %	+/- 1% valid rate
Claims Received	30% - 40%	30%1	11
Information Requests Received	5% - 11%	8%	76

●	There is additional uncertainty surrounding the legal position in relation to enquiries received from the Official Receiver. Uphold rates and average claim redress may differ from that experienced more generally, given the particular circumstances of this population
●	The Group expects the level of uncertainty to reduce during Q419 as a greater proportion of claims, enquiries and information requests are processed. Given the degree of sensitivity illustrated above, it is possible that the eventual cumulative provision may differ from the current estimate

Outlook and guidance

●	The Group continues to target a >9% RoTE for 2019 and >10% for 20202. However, given global macroeconomic uncertainty and the current low interest rate environment, it has become more challenging to achieve these targets, particularly with respect to 2020
●	Continuing to improve returns on a sustainable basis remains a key priority for the Group, whilst also delivering attractive capital returns to shareholders and investing in key business growth initiatives
●	Group cost guidance is unchanged, with management expecting to reduce 2019 costs below £13.6bn3
●	The Group expects to be at its revised target CET1 ratio of c.13.5% at year-end

1	The Group’s treasury results are reported directly within Barclays UK and Barclays International from Q218 following ring-fencing, resulting in gains and losses made on certain activities being recognised as Other income, rather than in Net interest income.
2	Barclays International margins include interest earning lending balances within the investment banking business.
3	Other includes Head Office and non-lending related investment banking businesses not included in Barclays International margins.
4	The Group’s combined product and equity structural hedge notional as at 30 September 2019 was £173bn, with an average duration of 2.5 to 3 years. Group net interest income includes gross structural hedge contributions of £1.4bn (Q318 YTD: £1.3bn) and net structural hedge contributions of £0.4bn (Q318 YTD: £0.6bn). Gross structural hedge contributions represent the absolute level of interest earned from the fixed receipts on the basket of swaps in the structural hedge, while the net structural hedge contributions represent the net interest earned on the difference between the structural hedge rate and prevailing floating rates.

Treasury and Capital Risk

Capital

The Group’s CET1 overall capital requirement is 12.0% comprising a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 3.0% Pillar 2A requirement applicable from 24 October 2019 and a 0.5% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).

The Group’s CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group have exposures. On 28 November 2018, the Financial Policy Committee set the CCyB rate for UK exposures at 1%. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for our non-UK exposures are not currently material. Overall, this results in a 0.5% CCyB for the Group for Q319.

The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Requirement applicable from 24 October 2019 has been revised to 5.3% (September 2019: 4.7%), of which at least 56.25% needs to be met with CET1 capital, equating to approximately 3.0% of RWAs (September 2019: 2.6%). The increase follows the removal of the operational risk RWA floor from Pillar 1, and also reflects the new requirement that is calibrated at least annually. Certain elements of the Pillar 2A requirement are a fixed quantum whilst others are a proportion of RWAs and are based on a point in time assessment.

On 27 June 2019, as part of the EU Risk Reduction Measure package, CRR II entered into force amending CRR. As an amending regulation, the existing provisions of CRR apply unless they are amended by CRR II. The amendments largely take effect and are phased in from 28 June 2021 with a number of exceptions which were implemented with immediate effect.

These exceptions primarily relate to MREL. Amendments within this section include changes to qualifying criteria for CET1, AT1 and Tier 2 instruments, the inclusion of additional holdings eligible for deduction, an amendment to the treatment of deferred tax assets and the introduction of requirements for MREL. Grandfathering and transitional provisions relating to MREL have also been introduced.

Certain aspects of CRR II are dependent on final technical standards to be issued by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and adopted by the European Commission as well as UK implementation of the rules. The disclosures in the following section reflect Barclays’ interpretation of the current rules and guidance.

2	The fully loaded CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays PLC AT1 securities, was 13.0%, with £40.7bn of CET1 capital and £313.1bn of RWAs calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II applicable as at the reporting date.
3	The Group’s CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays Bank PLC T2 Contingent Capital Notes, was 13.4%.

RWAs increased £1.4bn to £313.3bn:

●	‘Book size’ increased RWAs by £10.0bn primarily driven by increased CIB activity
●	‘Book quality’ decreased RWAs by £1.4bn primarily due to changes in risk profile within Barclays International
●	‘Model updates’ increased £1.3bn primarily due to the recalibration of modelled wholesale RWAs
●	‘Methodology and policy’ decreased RWAs by £10.5bn primarily due to removal of the operational risk floor
●	‘Foreign exchange movements’ increased RWAs by £2.2bn primarily due to the appreciation of period end USD against GBP.

Leverage ratio and exposures

The Group is subject to a leverage ratio requirement of 4.0% as at 30 September 2019. 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 (CCLB) of 0.2%. Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of T1 capital, 75% of the minimum requirement, equating to 2.4375%, needs to be met with CET1 capital. In addition, the G-SII ALRB and CCLB must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.53% G-SII ALRB was £6.1bn and against the 0.2%, CCLB was £2.3bn.

The Group is required to disclose an average UK leverage ratio which is based on capital on the last day of each month in the quarter and an exposure measure for each day in the quarter. The Group is also required to disclose a UK leverage ratio based on capital and exposure on the last day of the quarter. Both approaches exclude qualifying claims on central banks from the leverage exposures.

4	Comparative numbers have been revised to reflect the allocation of margin lending from Loans and advances and other assets to SFTs.

The average UK leverage ratio increased to 4.6% (December 2018: 4.5%). T1 capital increased £3.3bn to £53.8bn, which included the accretion of CET1 capital and a net increase in AT1 capital, partially offset by an increase in exposure of £61bn to £1,171bn primarily driven by SFTs trading activity.

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.8% (December 2018: 5.1%). T1 capital increased £2.0bn to £52.6bn, which included the accretion of CET1 capital and a net increase in AT1 capital. The UK leverage exposure increased £101bn to £1,100bn primarily driven Loans and advances and other assets and SFTs.

The Group also discloses a CRR leverage ratio1 within its additional regulatory disclosures prepared in accordance with EBA guidelines on disclosure under Part Eight of the CRR (see Barclays PLC Pillar 3 Report Q3 2019, due to be published on 25 October 2019 and which is available at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results).

1	CRR leverage ratio as amended by CRR II applicable as at the reporting date.

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities

The CRR II requirements relating to own funds and eligible liabilities came into effect from 27 June 2019. Eligible liabilities have been calculated reflecting our interpretation of the current rules and guidance. Certain aspects of CRR II are dependent on final technical standards to be issued by the EBA and adopted by the European Commission as well as UK implementation of the rules.

The Group is required to meet the higher of: (i) the MREL set by the Bank of England; or (ii) the requirements in CRR II, both of which have RWA and leverage based requirements. MREL is subject to phased implementation and will be fully implemented by 1 January 2022, at which time the Group’s indicative MREL is expected to be two times the sum of its Pillar 1 and Pillar 2A requirements, as set by the Bank of England. In addition, CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the capital buffers, meaning that the buffers will effectively be applied above both the Pillar 1 and Pillar 2A requirements relating to own funds and eligible liabilities. The Bank of England will review the MREL calibration by the end of 2020, including assessing the proposal for Pillar 2A recapitalisation, which may drive a different 1 January 2022 MREL than currently proposed.

Following the revision of the Pillar 2A requirement, the Group’s indicative MREL is currently expected to be 31.2% of RWAs from 1 January 2022 comprising:

	●	Loss absorption and recapitalisation amounts consisting of two times the 8% Pillar 1 and 5.3% Pillar 2A requirement
	●	Capital buffers including a 1.5% G-SII buffer, 2.5% CCB and 0.5% CCyB

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.

Non-IFRS performance measures glossary

Measure	Definition
Loan: deposit ratio	Loans and advances at amortised cost divided by deposits at amortised cost.
Period end allocated tangible equity	Allocated tangible equity is calculated as 13.0% (2018: 13.0%) of RWAs for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Group’s tangible shareholders’ equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.
Average tangible shareholders’ equity	Calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end tangible equity and the current month’s period end tangible equity. The average tangible shareholders’ equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period.
Average allocated tangible equity	Calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end allocated tangible equity and the current month’s period end allocated tangible equity. The average allocated tangible equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period.
Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity	Annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, as a proportion of average shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments adjusted for the deduction of intangible assets and goodwill. The components of the calculation have been included on page 37.
Return on average allocated tangible equity	Annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, as a proportion of average allocated tangible equity. The components of the calculation have been included on page 37.
Cost: income ratio	Total operating expenses divided by total income.
Loan loss rate	Quoted in basis points and represents total annualised impairment charges divided by gross loans and advances held at amortised cost at the balance sheet date. The components of the calculation have been included on page 22.
Net interest margin	Annualised net interest income divided by the sum of average customer assets. The components of the calculation have been included on page 21.
Tangible net asset value per share	Calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments, less goodwill and intangible assets, by the number of issued ordinary shares. The components of the calculation have been included on page 45.
Performance measures excluding litigation and conduct	Calculated by excluding litigation and conduct charges from performance measures. The components of the calculations have been included on pages 38 to 45.

Returns

Return on average tangible equity is calculated as profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent as a proportion of average tangible equity, excluding non-controlling and other equity interests for businesses. Allocated tangible equity has been calculated as 13.0% (2018: 13.0%) of RWAs for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office average allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Group’s average tangible shareholders’ equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.

Notes

The terms Barclays or Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the nine months ended 30 September 2019 to the corresponding nine months of 2018 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 September 2019 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2018 and 30 September 2018. 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 that can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results.

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 24 October 2019, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018, 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.

These results will be furnished as a Form 6-K to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished with the SEC, a copy of the Form 6-K will be available from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal road-shows and other ad hoc meetings. Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Group.

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 36 to 45 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. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by members of the management of the Group (including, without limitation, during management presentations to financial analysts) in connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend payout ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets, estimates of capital expenditures, plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS impacts and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. The forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made and such statements may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under IFRS, including evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; instability as a result of the exit by the UK from the European Union and the disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and globally; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual financial position, future results, dividend payments, capital, leverage or other regulatory ratios or other financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2018), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to our 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.
