Notes
 
The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the three months to 31 March 2015 to the corresponding three months of 2014 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 March with comparatives relating to 31 December 2014. The abbreviations '£m' and '£bn' represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; and the abbreviations '$m' and '$bn' represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively.
 
The comparatives pre Q214 have been restated to reflect the implementation of the Group structure changes and the reallocation of elements of the Head Office results under the revised business structure. These restatements were detailed in our announcement on 10 July 2014, accessible at http://www.barclays.com/barclays-investor-relations/results-and-reports.
 
References throughout this document to 'provisions for investigations and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange' means 'provisions held for certain aspects of ongoing investigations involving certain authorities and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange.'
 
Adjusted profit before tax, adjusted attributable profit and adjusted performance metrics have been presented to provide a more consistent basis for comparing business performance between periods. Adjusting items are considered to be significant but not representative of the underlying business performance. Items excluded from the adjusted measures are: the impact of own credit; goodwill impairment; provisions for Payment Protection Insurance and claims management costs (PPI) and interest rate hedging redress; gain on US Lehman acquisition assets; provisions for investigations and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange; loss on sale of the Spanish business; Education, Social Housing, and Local Authority (ESHLA) valuation revision; and gain on valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability. As management reviews adjusting items at a Group level, results by business are presented excluding these items.  The reconciliation of adjusted to statutory performance is done at a Group level only.
 
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 www.Barclays.com/results.
 
The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 28 April 2015 does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006), have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.
 
These results will be furnished as a Form 6-K to the SEC as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished to the SEC, copies of the Form 6-K will also be available from the Barclays Investor Relations website www.barclays.com/investorrelations and from the SEC's website at http://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.
 
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 certain of the Group's plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition and performance. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as 'may', 'will', 'seek', 'continue', 'aim', 'anticipate', 'target', 'projected', 'expect', 'estimate', 'intend', 'plan', 'goal', 'believe', 'achieve' or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Group's future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges and provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the Transform Programme and Group Strategy Update, run-down of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under IFRS, 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 (including with regard to the future structure of the Group) applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Africa, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of the Group; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the impact of EU and US sanctions on Russia; the implementation of the Transform Programme; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group's control. As a result, the Group's actual future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors are identified in our filings with the SEC including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2014 (2014 20-F), which are available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov; and in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2014, which is available on the Barclays Investor Relations website at www.barclays.com/investorrelations.
 
Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are made and it should not be assumed that they have been revised or updated in the light of new information or future events. Except as required by the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, the London Stock Exchange plc (the LSE) or applicable law, Barclays expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Barclays' expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Barclays has made or may make in documents it has published or may publish via the Regulatory News Service of the LSE and/or has filed or may file with the SEC, including the 2014 20-F.
 
 
Performance Highlights 
 
Chief Executive's statement
 
 "This performance represents another quarter of continued delivery, with further progress towards becoming the Go-To Bank.
 
Our Core business, the future of Barclays, generated an adjusted PBT of £2.1bn, up 14% and representing our best quarterly performance in several years. Return on average equity was close to 11%, while return on average tangible equity was above 13%. Personal and Corporate Banking had another good quarter of profit growth, Africa Banking profits were also up considerably and Barclaycard maintained very good returns as we invested for growth in the business. The Investment Bank had a good Q1, with PBT up 37%, representing a performance which is more indicative of the potential of the franchise following the repositioning undertaken last year.
 
Adjusted PBT for the Group increased by 9%, and our fully loaded CET1 ratio improved to 10.6%, in spite of the conduct provisions taken. Costs were down 7%, RWAs in Barclays Non-Core shrank by £10bn in the period, and we can see positive jaws across the Group.
 
This further demonstrates that the Transform strategy is working and, while there is more to do, the business is starting to realise its potential.
 
Resolving legacy conduct issues is also an important part of our plan to transform Barclays. We are working hard to expedite their settlement and have taken further provisions of £800m this quarter, primarily relating to Foreign Exchange.
 
While we still have much to do, I am pleased with how we've begun 2015."
 
Antony Jenkins, Group Chief Executive
 
 
Further progress on Transform: higher Group adjusted profit before tax, driven by positive cost to income jaws in the Core business, partially offset by an increase in Non-Core loss before tax as run down progresses as planned
 
·     Group adjusted profit before tax increased 9% to £1,848m as Core adjusted profit before tax increased 14% to £2,104m. This was partially offset by an increase in Non-Core loss before tax to £256m (Q114: £154m)
 
·     Statutory profit before tax decreased 26% to £1,337m which reflected adjusting items of a net loss of £511m (Q114: net gain of £119m)
 
·     Total adjusted operating expenses decreased 7% to £4,124m, driven by a 49% reduction in Non-Core operating expenses to £239m and a reduction in Core costs to achieve Transform to £109m (Q114: £216m)
 
·     Core income increased 2% to £6,420m, while Core operating expenses were down 2% to £3,885m. Core return on average equity increased to 10.9% (Q114: 10.7%), absorbing an increase in average allocated equity of £7bn to         £47bn
 
·     Non-Core run-down continued, with risk weighted assets (RWAs) reducing £10bn from December 2014 to £65bn. Non-Core dilution of the Group's return on average equity was 3.3% (Q114: 4.2%), having reduced average         allocated equity by £5bn to £10bn
 
·     Fully loaded Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio increased to 10.6% (December 2014: 10.3%) reflecting an increase in CET1 capital to £41.8bn (December 2014: £41.5bn) and a reduction in RWAs to £396bn (December 2014:        £402bn), largely due to the sale of the Spanish business. The leverage ratio remained stable at 3.7%
 
·     Net tangible asset value per share increased to 288p (December 2014: 285p)
 
Material adjusting items:
 
·     Provisions of £2,050m (Q114: £nil) have been made for investigations and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange.  This includes additional provisions of £800m recognised in Q115
 
·     A £429m (Q114: £nil) gain was recognised as the valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability was aligned to statutory provisions
 
·     An additional PPI redress provision of £150m (Q114: £nil) was recognised based on an updated estimate of future redress and associated costs
 
·     A £118m (Q114: £nil) loss primarily relating to accumulated currency translation reserves recycled upon the completion of the Spanish business sale

The effective tax rate for Q115 is the expected full year rate adjusted for the impact of significant one off items.  The tax impacts of such items, which include adjusting items and the UK bank levy, are recognised in the quarter in which they occur.

The profit after tax attributable to other equity holders of £80m (Q114: £49m) is offset by a tax credit recorded in reserves of £16m (Q114: £11m).  The net amount of £64m (Q114: £38m), along with non-controlling interests (NCI) is deducted from profit after tax in order to calculate earnings per share, return on average tangible shareholders' equity and return on average shareholders' equity.

Group Performance Review
 
Income statement
 
Group performance
 
 
·     Adjusted profit before tax increased 9% to £1,848m reflecting improvements in the Investment Bank, Personal and Corporate Banking (PCB) and Africa Banking
 
·     Adjusted income decreased 3% to £6,430m as Non-Core income reduced £363m to £10m. This was partially offset by Core income increasing 2% to £6,420m
 
·     Impairment reduced 13% to £477m, with the Group loan loss rate improving 8bps to 37bps
 
·     Adjusted total operating expenses were down 7% to £4,124m, as a result of restructuring savings from Transform programmes, particularly in Non-Core, the Investment Bank and PCB. This included costs to achieve Transform of        £120m (Q114: £240m) and litigation and conduct charges of £81m (Q114: £65m)
 
·     Statutory profit before tax was £1,337m (Q114: £1,812m), which also included £800m (Q114: £nil) of provisions for investigations and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange, an additional £150m (Q114: £nil) provision for       PPI redress, a £118m (Q114: £nil) loss on the sale of the Spanish business, a £429m (Q114: £nil) gain on the valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability and an own credit gain of £128m (Q114: £119m)
 
·     The effective tax rate on adjusted profit before tax decreased to 28.6% (Q114: 33.1%) and the effective tax rate on statutory profit before tax increased to 45.8% (Q114: 32.9%), principally due to non-deductible expenses, including        the provisions for investigations and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange
 
·     Adjusted Group attributable profit was £1,059m (Q114: £882m), resulting in an adjusted Group return on average shareholders' equity of 7.6% (Q114: 6.5%)
 
 
Core performance
 
·     Profit before tax increased 14% to £2,104m, with improvements of 37% to £675m in the Investment Bank, 14% to £787m in PCB and 23% to £295m in Africa Banking
 
·     Income increased 2% to £6,420m
 
       -      Barclaycard income increased 9% to £1,135m reflecting continued net lending growth across all geographies
 
       -      Africa Banking income increased 8% to £948m reflecting an increase in transactional income in South Africa, higher trading income and an increase in net interest income
 
       -      Net interest income in PCB, Barclaycard and Africa Banking increased 6% to £2,955m driven by strong savings income growth in PCB, and volume growth in Barclaycard and Africa Banking. Net interest margin increased 4bps                to 414bps
 
       -      Investment Bank income increased 2% to £2,149m reflecting higher Banking, Macro and Equities income which was partially offset by lower Credit income
 
·     Credit impairment charges improved 7% to £448m, reflecting lower impairments in PCB due to the improving UK economic environment resulting in lower default rates and charges in corporate. This was partially offset by an        increase of 8% in Barclaycard, which was accompanied by loans and advances growth of 15%; the loan loss rate reduced 20bps to 305bps
 
·     Total operating expenses decreased 2% to £3,885m, reflecting savings from Transform programmes, principally in the Investment Bank and PCB, and lower costs to achieve Transform of £109m (Q114: £216m). Barclaycard        operating expenses increased £75m to £490m primarily due to continued business growth
 
·     Attributable profit increased 19% to £1,258m, while average allocated equity increased £7bn to £47bn, resulting in Core return on equity increasing to 10.9% (Q114: 10.7%)
 
 
Non-Core performance
 
·     Loss before tax increased to £256m (Q114: £154m), reflecting:
 
      -      A reduction in income of £363m to £10m following assets and securities run-down, business disposals and a fair value loss on the Education, Social Housing, and Local Authority (ESHLA) portfolio of £149m (Q114: £21m),              partially offset by a £91m release of a provision relating to a litigation matter
 
      -      An improvement in impairment to £29m (Q114: £67m) reflecting, in particular, the disposal of the Spanish business
 
      -      A 49% reduction in total operating expenses to £239m due to savings from Transform programmes, the sale of the Spanish business and reduced costs to achieve Transform
 
·     Non-Core return on equity dilution was 3.3% (Q114: 4.2%), reflecting a reduction in average allocated equity to £10bn (Q114: £15bn)
 
 
Balance sheet and capital
 
Balance sheet
 
·     Total assets increased 4% from 31 December 2014 to £1,416bn
 
       -      Total loans and advances increased £34bn to £504bn driven by a £30bn increase in settlement and cash collateral balances and lending growth of £3bn and £1bn in PCB and Africa Banking respectively
 
       -      Derivative assets increased £40bn to £480bn consistent with the increase in derivative liabilities of £44bn to £484bn. The derivative assets increase was driven by interest rate derivatives of £33bn, as major interest rate               forward curves reduced, and foreign exchange derivatives of £11bn due to depreciation of EUR against USD, GBP and CHF
 
      -      Reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending decreased £8bn to £124bn primarily driven by lower matched book trading due to balance sheet deleveraging
 
·     Customer accounts increased £19bn to £447bn driven by an increase in settlement balances of £13bn and cash collateral balances of £6bn
 
·     Total shareholders' equity including non-controlling interests increased to £67.1bn (December 2014: £66.0bn). Excluding non-controlling interests, shareholders' equity increased to £60.7bn (December 2014: £59.6bn), reflecting a        £0.8bn increase in the currency translation reserve as GBP weakened against USD, a £0.6bn increase in share capital and share premium, due to the issuance of shares under employee share schemes, and an increase in profit after        tax of £0.5bn partially offset by a £0.8bn decrease in other reserves
 
·     Net asset value and net tangible asset value per share increased to 337p (December 2014: 335p) and 288p (December 2014: 285p) respectively
 
 
Leverage exposure
 
·     Leverage exposure increased £22bn to £1,255bn during Q115 due to increases in the Core business, including an increase in settlement balances, partially offset by continued reductions in Non-Core exposure
 
Capital ratios
 
·     The fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio increased to 10.6% (December 2014: 10.3%), due to a £6bn reduction in RWAs to £396bn, and an increase in the fully loaded CRD IV CET1 capital of £0.4bn to £41.8bn
 
       -      The increase in CET1 capital was driven by profit for the period of £0.5bn, after absorbing £0.6bn of adjusting items, a £0.4bn increase in other qualifying reserves partially offset by £0.4bn recognised for dividends and a               £0.2bn reduction for the movement in own credit
 
       -      The RWA reduction was mainly driven by a £10bn reduction in Non-Core to £65bn including the sale of the Spanish business and the run-down of legacy structured and credit products
 
·     The leverage ratio remained stable at 3.7% (December 2014: 3.7%), despite an increase in the leverage exposure to £1,255bn (December 2014: £1,233bn)
 
 
Funding and liquidity
 
·     The Group maintained a surplus to its internal and regulatory requirements in Q115 with a liquidity pool of £148bn (December 2014: £149bn). This continues to position the Group for potential credit rating changes as sovereign        support in Barclays Bank PLC credit ratings is assessed. The estimated CRD IV Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) decreased slightly to 122% (December 2014: 124%), equivalent to a surplus of £28bn (December 2014: £30bn)
 
·     Wholesale funding outstanding excluding repurchase agreements was £178bn (December 2014: £171bn). The Group issued £4bn of term funding net of early redemptions during the quarter, of which £2bn was in senior unsecured        debt issued by the holding company, Barclays PLC. These proceeds have been used to subscribe for senior unsecured debt at Barclays Bank PLC, the operating company. This demonstrates further progress on the transition        towards a holding company capital and funding model
 
·     In line with credit rating agencies' intentions to reassess sovereign support in their ratings to reflect evolving regulation, S&P and Moody's took action on Barclays and peers' credit ratings during the quarter. S&P put the A/A-1        ratings of Barclays Bank PLC, the operating company, on "CreditWatch with negative implications" and downgraded Barclays PLC, the holding company, by two notches to BBB/A-2/Stable. Moody's implemented its new Bank        Rating Methodology and reassessed sovereign support in its ratings, which resulted in an affirmation of Barclays Bank PLC's ratings of A2/P-1 and a change of the outlook to Stable from Negative. Moody's also put the ratings of        Barclays PLC (A3/P-2) on review for potential downgrade to Baa3. The outcomes of these reviews are expected to be announced in Q215
 
 
Other matters
 
·     Provisions of £2,471m (December 2014: £1,690m) are held for Legal, Competition and Regulatory matters. This includes provisions of £2,092m (Q114: £nil) for investigations and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange,       £800m of which was recognised in Q115 reflecting developments with certain authorities since the year end reporting date
 
·     The provision for PPI redress was £943m (December 2014: £1,059m) following the recognition of  an additional amount of £150m (Q114: £nil) in Q115 based on an updated estimate of future redress and associated costs
 
·     A £429m (Q114: £nil) gain was recognised as the valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability was revised to use the long term Consumer Price Index rather than the Retail Price Index, consistent with        statutory provisions
 
·     A £118m (Q114: £nil) loss was recognised primarily relating to accumulated currency translation reserves recycled upon the completion of the Spanish business sale
 
 
Dividends
 
·     A first interim dividend of 1.0p will be paid on 15 June 2015

RWAs are on a CRD IV fully loaded basis. CRD IV rules came into effect in Q413; therefore no Q313 and Q213 comparatives are available. Average allocated equity and tangible equity are shown on an estimated CRD IV basis. Balance sheet comparative figures have also been restated from Q413 to adopt the offsetting amendments to IAS32, Financial Instruments: Presentation; therefore no Q313 and Q213 comparatives are available.

RWAs are on a CRD IV fully loaded basis. CRD IV rules came into effect in Q413; therefore no Q313 and Q213 comparatives are available. Average allocated equity and tangible equity are shown on an estimated CRD IV basis. Balance sheet comparative figures have also been restated from Q413 to adopt the offsetting amendments to IAS32, Financial Instruments: Presentation; therefore no Q313 and Q213 comparatives for the Investment Bank are available.

Return on average equity and average tangible equity for Head Office and Barclays Non-Core represents their impact on Barclays Core and the Group respectively. This does not represent the return on average equity and average tangible equity of Head Office or the Non-Core business.

The profit after tax attributable to other equity holders of £80m (Q114: £49m) is offset by a tax credit recorded in reserves of £16m (Q114: £11m) allocated across the businesses.  The net amount of £64m, along with NCI, is deducted from profit after tax in order to calculate return on average tangible shareholders' equity and return on average shareholders' equity. Hence, Q115 attributable profit of £1,059m has been adjusted for the tax credit recorded in reserves of £16m (Q114: £11m).

Capital
 
CRD IV capital
 
The Capital Requirements Regulation and Capital Requirements Directive implemented Basel 3 within the EU (collectively known as CRD IV) on 1 January 2014.  The rules are supplemented by Regulatory Technical Standards and the PRA's rulebook, including the implementation of transitional rules. However, rules and guidance are still subject to change as certain aspects of CRD IV are dependent on final technical standards and clarifications to be issued by the EBA and adopted by the European Commission and the PRA. All capital, RWA and leverage calculations reflect Barclays' interpretation of the current rules.

The transitional regulatory adjustment for unrealised gains is no longer applicable from 1 January 2015 resulting in CET 1 capital on a fully loaded basis being equal to that on a transitional basis.
2
The CRD IV CET1 ratio (FSA October 2012 transitional statement) as applicable to Barclays' Tier 2 Contingent Capital Notes was 12.3% based on £48.5bn of transitional CRD IV CET1 capital and £395.9bn of  RWAs.

The PRA transitional capital is based on guidance provided in policy statement PS 7/13 on strengthening capital standards published in December 2013.
4
As at 31 March 2015, Barclays' fully loaded Tier 1 capital was £46,322m, and the fully loaded Tier 1 ratio was 11.7%. Fully loaded total regulatory capital was £61,863m and the fully loaded total capital ratio was 15.6%. The fully loaded Tier 1 capital and total capital measures are calculated without applying the transitional provisions set out in CRD IV and assessing compliance of AT1 and T2 instruments against the relevant criteria in CRD IV.

In January 2014, the Basel Committee finalised its revised standards (BCBS 270) for calculating the Basel 3 leverage ratio. The European Commission has implemented the amendments into the CRR via a delegated act which came into force from January 2015. The leverage calculation below uses the end-point CRR definition of Tier 1 capital for the numerator and the CRR definition of leverage exposure as adopted by a European Union delegated act.
 
Barclays does not believe that there is a material difference between the BCBS 270 leverage exposure previously disclosed and a leverage exposure calculated in accordance with the delegated act.
 
At 31 March 2015 Barclays leverage ratio was 3.7%, which is in line with the expected minimum fully loaded requirement outlined by the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) of 3.7%, comprising the 3% minimum requirement, and the fully phased-in G-SII buffer.
