AGM Statements
Chairman's 2022 AGM statement
Good morning! This is my third Annual General Meeting, but
only my first where we are able to meet in person. At the
same time as welcoming all of you into this hall we are absorbing
the helpful lessons of the last year or two and have incorporated
virtual attendance at this meeting as well so that shareholders can
also attend and vote electronically and so when it comes to taking
questions, we will do so from those in the room, those on the
telephone line and also those that have been submitted
online..
In addition to being our first really hybrid AGM it is also the
first one which we have ever held outside London. We have many
shareholders outside London and in addition 44,000 colleagues
around the UK of whom just under 30,000 work outside the M25 and
about 7,000 of those work in the area surrounding Manchester.
The largest group amongst the latter are our colleagues in our
Technology Campus at Radbroke, which is where we run many of our
core banking platforms supporting millions of customers
worldwide. We will hold the 2023 AGM in London but thereafter
will be alternating between London and other key centres for
Barclays in the UK, probably next going to Glasgow where we have
recently opened a campus which hosts around 5,000
colleagues.
Venkat will shortly be talking and will share with you the
highlights of our 2021 performance. But in a nutshell the
bank goes into the future well capitalised and with its businesses
performing well. We ended 2021 with a capital ratio north of
15%, somewhat elevated due to the impact of, in part, regulatory
reliefs which will unwind to a degree over the next year or
two. Profitability was good at the year end and the first
quarter of 2022 was particularly robust. This was our fifth quarter
in a row of double digit operating returns in capital in each of
the three main business areas. We are returning about £2.5bn
of earnings made last year to shareholders in dividends and
buybacks, including the previously announced £1bn buyback
which will be set in train towards the end of the quarter. Venkat
will say more about performance but I would just like to add that
the Board remains convinced that your company really does benefit
from its diversified business base.
This degree of financial resilience prepares us well for what feels
like a very uncertain outlook. Before going further into that may I
also add that part of resilience is strength in depth in the
management team. Perhaps unusually we have had a new chief
executive and a new chief financial officer all in the space of six
months - and I would like to welcome Venkat and Anna to their first
AGM in these roles. It is a great credit to my colleagues and
predecessors, executive and non-executive, that the Board had no
hesitation in choosing for these roles the long-identified and
'ready now' internal candidates. I would also like to put on the
record our collective thanks to Jes and Tushar for the years of
hard work in the service of the bank, work which has contributed
greatly to the resilience and the performance which we now
experience.
Back if I may to three of the great challenges that lie ahead: the
impending cost of living crisis for consumers and what will perhaps
also turn into a 'cost of doing business' crisis for SMEs; the
extreme geopolitical, and therefore economic, uncertainty; and the
long term and potentially existential challenge of climate change.
These are all linked together, and in more ways than
one.
There is no doubt that consumers in the UK (and to a lesser degree
US) markets which we serve face a difficult period with declining
real disposable incomes and a need to eat into savings. Inflation
is nearly in double digits and even when that levels off the UK
will be left with higher energy and food prices, so it is no
surprise that discretionary expenditure is softening. At the same
time, small businesses face higher energy costs, disruptions in
supply chains and greater friction in international trade. While
unemployment remains low, we nonetheless recognise that for lower
income households in particular the outlook is worrying.
Markets remain volatile; while this provides opportunities for
a bank such as Barclays we do have to ensure a high degree of
vigilance given the risks and the bumps in the road
ahead.
Barclays is in a good place to handle future volatility. I believe
that the bank's preparedness reflects not just the financial
resilience which I referenced earlier but also the commitment of
our colleagues and the commitment to the bank's Purpose, which, to
remind you, is to "deploy finance responsibly to support people and
businesses, acting with empathy and integrity, championing
innovation and sustainability, for the common good and the long
term". Purpose will get tested more in tough times. I believe that
we will meet those tests. I have faith in my colleagues around the
world to do so. We are also working hard to improve the 'face' that
the bank presents to customers and to clients, for instance through
continuing digital innovation and improvements in the accessibility
and simplification of our products and
services.
As I have said before, we do not get everything right. Let me say a
few words about our recently reported failure to comply with SEC
registration requirements, a failure which has cost us hundreds of
millions of pounds, and more in reputation. First, all of us here
were dismayed that, after so much progress, we had this entirely
self-inflicted problem. We have not yet finished the review but I
believe that we will find that, in all our complexities, we missed
some simple tasks. This is not rocket science and we can and will
do better, learning the lessons from this particular issue and
applying even greater discipline across all of our
controls.
Many of you I know are particularly focused on our response to the
climate crisis. We promised last year to come back this year
to give shareholders a so-called Say on Climate, through an
advisory vote, and this duly comes up as Resolution 26 later on
this morning.
We decided to gather in one place an update on our strategy,
targets and progress as we execute on our ambition and address our
responsibilities faced with the global climate crisis.
Perhaps the major development of the last year is that the bank has
updated its Paris alignment methodology to integrate the IEA's Net
Zero 2050 scenario. When we launched BlueTrack in 2020, being
the first of our peers to include our capital markets activity, we
committed to updating it as new scenarios with granular
science-based data sets become available. We have now set
2030 targets for four high emitting sectors. Where we have
used ranges, they meet the IEA Scenario requirements at the upper
end but fall short at the lower end. This does not dilute our
ambition nor in anyway diminish the role that we fully accept we
must play, but is an honest reflection of the current pace of
change and critical need for more joined up action between
governments, companies, asset managers and financiers to deliver a
1.5C-aligned world. We do think that more needs to be done to, for
instance, incentivise adoption of electric vehicles, the insulation
of homes and the adoption of alternatives to fossil fuel power in
homes and in business, including all the supporting infrastructure
required. Barclays does want to play a leading role and
participate fully in the financing changes required in society as a
whole to decarbonise our economies.
I am sometimes asked the question "What stops you going further and
faster on the climate?". This is a great question, and by the way,
we understand the anger many feel and welcome the ongoing and
constructive engagement with many of the environmental activists
who have had significant success in ensuring that this
issue is top of the global agenda. We do need an unparalleled
degree of global cooperation, an attribute which can be
challenging to achieve, whilst recognising the particular
responsibilities of more developed economies. Governments'
policies, energy investments, and the actions of both shareholders
and financiers need to be better aligned with ever clearer
renewable investment goals, backed up by the appropriate
incentives, subsidies where necessary, carbon taxes and of course
behavioural adjustments in society. Energy security may be top of
many agendas today but we do not believe that that has to dilute our
commitments, even in the short to medium term, to finance a lower
carbon future. Bluntly, the availability of finance is not an
obstacle, and we see this as an immense business
opportunity, but more work is needed on the policy framework and
investment in appropriate national infrastructures and clean
technologies. Many of today's fossil fuel companies will be crucial
to all of this and therefore we believe that companies that do not
share our ambitions in this space will find it increasingly
difficult to access finance, including from Barclays. Just as there
are causal links between the three challenges of the day which I
talked about earlier, the solutions to all lie in joined up action,
often at the international level and we absolutely want to play our
part.
Let me just end by thanking you, our shareholders, for your
engagement this year and my board and management colleagues for the
efforts that they put in on behalf of Barclays. And finally, and
most importantly of all, the over 80,000 colleagues around the
world for everything that they are doing in an extraordinarily
uncertain time.
Thank you for listening and I would now like to hand over to
Venkat.
Chief Executive's 2022 AGM statement
Good morning everyone, and a very warm welcome to
Manchester.
This is my first AGM as Chief Executive of Barclays. It is a great
honour to follow a three-century long line of stewards of this
company.
I want to thank Nigel and the rest of the Board for the faith they
have put into me. It is my turn, with this generation of
colleagues, to provide Barclays with the financial strength and
business capability for continued prosperity.
Although I am new in this job, I have been at Barclays for a number
of years. I joined the management team in 2016 - the same year that
we set out our strategy to be a British universal bank with a
diversified group of businesses.
We are a large consumer bank, managing an excellent credit card
franchise, as well as a leading corporate bank and one the largest
global investment banks. Each is a successful business in its own
right, but together they comprise a resilient and balanced
Group.
When we set this strategy back in 2016, the intention was to build
a bank capable of delivering double-digit returns through the
cycle.
Last year, we achieved just that, delivering a Group Return on
Tangible Equity of 13.4%. This included double-digit returns in all
three of our main operating businesses: Barclays UK, our Consumer
Cards and Payments business, and the Corporate and Investment
Bank.
The Group also delivered a record Profit Before Tax in 2021 of
£8.4bn. We saw particularly strong profitability in the
Corporate and Investment Bank, and this helped us withstand a more
difficult period for our consumer businesses due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
This is an example of our universal banking model working in
action, where the strong performance of one business can offset
challenges in another.
In 2021, we continued to focus on managing costs. Our
cost-to-income ratio for the year was 66%, down from over 80% in
2016.
We have also managed our capital resources prudently, steadily
improving our CET1 ratio over the last few years. Our ratio remains
comfortably within our target of between 13 and 14%.
Our strong performance in 2021 enabled us to increase capital
distributions to you, our shareholders. We announced the return of
over £2.5bn of excess capital over the course of the year,
comprising a dividend of 6p per share and £1.5bn in share
buybacks. That is the equivalent to a total payout of 15p per
share.
Distributions to shareholders remains a key priority for me, my
management team, and the Board.
Our strong performance in 2021 has carried over into the first
quarter of this year, although we have seen a disappointing
increase in costs. This has been driven in particular by the
over-issuance of securities in the US, which Nigel talked about.
Let me echo his comments. This situation was entirely avoidable and
I am deeply disappointed that it occurred.
The necessity of a strong controls culture has never been clearer
to me. In fact, we have made considerable progress improving our
controls since 2016. So the fact that this happened is particularly
upsetting.
We have commissioned an external review of the matter, with
oversight from the Board. This review is focused on what happened,
how it could have happened, and where accountability
lies.
At the same time, I take some comfort from our response and our
ability to absorb this issue financially. The matter was escalated
immediately, both internally and to our regulators, with whom we
are cooperating constructively.
In view of our ongoing discussions with the SEC concerning the
impact of this issue, we are delaying execution of the £1bn
stock buyback we announced in February.
This is not a question of whether we will be proceeding with this
buyback, but when we will be proceeding. Our capital position is
strong and we expect to be in a position to proceed with the
buyback toward the end of Q2.
When we gathered for our AGM last year, the world was still in the
grip of COVID-19. The pandemic is by no means over, but there are
positive signs we are through the worst of the terrible economic
and health crisis.
As Nigel has said, the future economic outlook will have an impact
on the financials of Barclays.
Rising interest rates are leading to higher net interest margins,
and we are already starting to see to the effect of that in our
consumer businesses.
Both the UK and US economies are forecast to continue growing over
the next three years. However, rising inflation poses a threat to
the outlook.
One compensating aspect is that unemployment in the UK and US
remains broadly at low levels.
We are very focused on the impact that higher prices are having on
our customers and clients. A great many are facing far harder
conditions this year as a result of inflation, particularly from
supply chain difficulties and higher energy costs.
We will support those who bank with us to manage during difficult
periods wherever we can. And we will support the wider economy just
as we did through the COVID crisis.
We have been witnessing a horrific human tragedy unfolding in
Ukraine over the last few months. The human element of the conflict
is what we feel first and foremost. However, we have also had to
deal with the resulting market repercussions.
Barclays has no physical operations in Russia or Ukraine, and our
financial exposure is limited, but we are remaining vigilant to
protect the Group from further impacts. And, of course, we are also
working closely with governments and regulators around the world to
comply with sanctions.
The outpouring of support from Barclays' colleagues for the people
of Ukraine has been remarkable. I am incredibly proud of our
collective efforts to raise money that is so desperately needed in
the region. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, and
in particular our colleagues who have friends and family caught up
in the crisis. We stand with them, and the international community,
in calling for an immediate end to the conflict.
Let me turn now to our priorities for the years ahead.
Our focus is on sustaining the double-digit returns we produced in
2021, and on growing the Group in a responsible and controlled
manner. To do so, we are emphasising three strategic priorities.
These have been carefully chosen to ensure we are taking advantage
of some of the long-term changes taking place in financial
services.
First is the delivery of next-generation, digitised consumer
financial services. We see the dominant business challenge for the
next decade as continuing to transform Barclays to deliver products
digitally.
Across Barclays UK and our Consumer, Cards and Payments business,
we are continuing to invest in our digital capabilities as a means
of delivering better products and services, more efficiently, and
with higher profitability.
Within Barclays UK, we will continue to enable customers to
transact and interact digitally.
However, as we observe these trends, it remains central to our
strategy that we adjust our footprint without neglecting the needs
of society. We are one of the driving forces behind the current
initiatives to share banking infrastructure in order to continue
access to cash and access to banking.
We will continue to build out more cost effective infrastructure,
significantly increasing our utilisation of cloud computing. This
will have meaningful benefits for our cost base.
We will also use consumer data more effectively to understand our
customers' needs, build a more competitive offering and simplify
our products and services.
We will aim to continue to realise value in our payments platform,
including the synergies with the banking franchises across our
Group.
We also want to grow our unsecured consumer lending in both the UK
and the US. We intend to drive this growth through corporate
partnerships, particularly in the US, which is the biggest global
credit card market.
Our second strategic priority is to deliver sustainable growth in
the Corporate and Investment Bank.
Barclays is the sixth ranked global investment bank, and the top
ranked non-US player. Our relative position has improved in the
last five years as we have invested in people and technology, and
as other European banks have exited from some or all of this
business.
The value of our franchise depends on the growth and health of the
global capital markets. These are the venues - increasingly
electronic - where companies, institutions and governments issue
securities, underwritten by banks, and where they are traded. These
markets are growing, and that is good for our
franchise.
We have taken steps to diversify our income across the CIB, for
example by investing in talent to grow our Equity Capital Markets
business and by expanding our banking coverage in
sectors like Technology, where we recently advised and
financed on the acquisition of Twitter by Mr Elon
Musk.
In Global Markets, we are growing our Prime business, providing
more stable, annuity-type income and smoothing our income mix
across the business.
In the Corporate Bank, we have been working to improve our returns
for several years, focusing on deepening our client relationships
and broadening our product capabilities.
Here too, we have invested to diversify our income streams. We have
had success growing the number of clients we have in Europe, and
growing fee based income in Transaction Banking.
Our third strategic priority is to capture opportunities and help
our clients as the world transitions to a low-carbon
economy.
It is difficult to be precise about the magnitude of this
opportunity, much as it would have been difficult to predict the
value of the internet revolution in the mid-1990s. Estimates of the
additional investment required to finance the transition are at
least $3-5 trillion every year for the next 30 years. This could be
a new industrial revolution.
As this fundamental re-organisation of the global economy takes
place, affecting every business in every sector, Barclays is
positioned to benefit from playing a constructive
role.
This means being the trusted partner for our customers and clients
as they transition, advising and supporting them to adapt their
business models and their individual lifestyles.
We are already using our balance sheet, investment banking and
capital markets expertise to help deliver this advice and finance.
For example, we have facilitated around £65bn of Green Finance
since 2018 through landmark deals.
However, there is much more we can do to continue to help this
effort. We are continuing to expand our sustainable finance
offering through our specialist teams. And we are continuing to
integrate sustainability across our service offerings.
We will also continue to innovate to develop banking products that
help consumers and small businesses make greener choices. For
example, in 2018 Barclays was one of the first major UK banks to
launch a green mortgage product. To date we have completed over
£1bn in Green Home Mortgages and we have recently launched a
Green Buy-to-Let Mortgage product.
We will also keep investing our own equity capital in the young
companies that are inventing the low-carbon emission technologies
of tomorrow.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to offer my own
thanks to Tushar Morzaria.
Tushar made an enormous contribution to Barclays over his 8 years
as Group Finance Director, and I am delighted he will continue as
Chairman of the Global Financial Institutions Group in the
Investment Bank.
I am thrilled to already be working with Tushar's successor, Anna
Cross, as we continue to deliver our strategy. Anna is moulded from
the distinguished Scottish tradition in global banking. She will
steward our finances and strategy with prudence, diligence,
discipline and rigour.
So, with that, let me close by saying again how pleased I am with
our performance over the past year.
Our strategy is delivering, we have set out clear strategic
priorities for the Group, and I am excited about the sustainable
path to growth for Barclays.
Thank you.

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

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 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; 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, 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 Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31
December 2021), which are available on the SEC's website
