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 
       2020(1) . 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 
 
 
                     Returns(1)                        --   Group profit before tax of GBP4.9bn (Q318 YTD: GBP5.3bn)

                                                            resulting in a GBP14.2bn reduction in 
                                                            total RWAs. This increased the CET1 ratio by c.60bps. As a 
                                                            result, the target CET1 ratio has

 --   Group profit before tax was GBP3.3bn (Q318 YTD: GBP3.1bn) and, 
       excluding litigation and conduct, was GBP4.9bn (Q318 YTD: GBP5.3bn). 
       The cost: income ratio was 62% (Q318 YTD: 62%), with Barclays International 
       income up 4%. Credit impairment charges increased to GBP1.4bn (Q318 
       YTD: GBP0.8bn), 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 GBP0.4bn (Q318 YTD: GBP1.6bn). 
       This included an additional provision for Payment Protection Insurance 
       (PPI) of GBP1.4bn (Q318 YTD: GBP0.4bn). Excluding litigation and 
       conduct, profit before tax was GBP1.9bn (Q318 YTD: GBP2.0bn). 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 GBP3.5bn (Q318 YTD: 
       GBP3.6bn) 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 GBP0.3bn to GBP0.8bn, 
       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 GBP5bn, 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 GBP1.4bn 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 GBP141m. This 
                            change does not impact EPS or return on average tangible shareholders' 
                            equity.

Group Finance Director's Review

Group performance

 
 --   Profit before tax was GBP3,260m (Q318 YTD: GBP3,120m), including 
       an additional provision for PPI of GBP1,400m (Q318 YTD: GBP400m) 
       in Q319. Excluding litigation and conduct, profit before tax was 
       GBP4,942m (Q318 YTD: GBP5,267m), 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 GBP16,331m. 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 GBP1,389m (Q318 YTD: GBP825m). 
       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.GBP60m 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 GBP10,051m, 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 GBP1,780m (Q318 YTD: GBP1,611m). Excluding 
       litigation and conduct, attributable profit was GBP3,391m (Q318 
       YTD: GBP3,685m), 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 GBP1,899m. 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 GBP1,524m 
       (Q318 YTD: GBP468m), profit before tax was GBP375m (Q318 YTD: GBP1,566m) 
 --   Total income decreased 2% to GBP5,394m due to a 2% decrease in 
       net interest income to GBP4,410m 
                 -              Personal Banking income decreased 2% to GBP2,945m, reflecting 
                                 ongoing mortgage margin pressure, partially offset by mortgage 
                                 and deposit balance growth and improved liability margins 
                 -              Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 8% to GBP1,459m 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 GBP990m 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 GBP522m, 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.GBP30m, 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 GBP2,973m (Q318 YTD: GBP2,961m) 
       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 GBP76.8bn (December 2018: GBP75.2bn) 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 GBP3,508m 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 GBP11,223m (Q318 YTD: GBP10,805m) 
      -              CIB income increased 4% to GBP7,917m 
                                -              Within Markets, FICC income increased 15% to GBP2,638m reflecting 
                                                a strong performance in rates and growth in securitised products. 
                                                Equities income decreased 11% to GBP1,478m driven by equity 
                                                derivatives, which were impacted by reduced client activity. 
                                                Included in Markets was a GBP126m gain related to the Tradeweb 
                                                position and a net loss of GBP40m due to the impact of treasury 
                                                operations and hedging counterparty risk 
                                -              Banking fees income increased 3% to GBP1,955m driven by an increase 
                                                in advisory fees, partially offset by lower debt underwriting 
                                                fees reflecting a reduced Banking fee pool(1) . 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 
                                                GBP1,283m reflecting growth in deposits. This was offset by 
                                                a decrease in Corporate lending income to GBP563m (Q318 YTD: 
                                                GBP635m). Excluding mark-to-market movements on loan hedges, 
                                                Corporate lending income was broadly stable 
                 -              CC&P income increased 4% to GBP3,306m reflecting balance growth 
                                 in the US cards business and partnership growth in merchant acquiring 
 --   Credit impairment charges increased to GBP844m (Q318 YTD: GBP304m) 
      -              CIB credit impairment charges increased to GBP127m (Q318 YTD: 
                      release of GBP185m) due to the non-recurrence of favourable macroeconomic 
                      scenario updates and single name recoveries in Q318 YTD 
      -              CC&P credit impairment charges increased to GBP717m (Q318 YTD: 
                      GBP489m) 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.GBP30m. 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 GBP6,923m 
      -              CIB operating expenses decreased 1% to GBP5,191m as cost efficiencies 
                      were partially offset by continued investment in the business 
      -              CC&P operating expenses increased 7% to GBP1,732m driven by continued 
                      investment across the businesses 
 --   RWAs increased to GBP223.1bn (December 2018: GBP210.7bn), driven 
       by an increase in CIB activity and appreciation of USD against 
       GBP 
 

Head Office

 
 --   Loss before tax of GBP593m (Q318 YTD: GBP2,006m), included litigation 
       and conduct charges of GBP128m (Q318 YTD: GBP1,585m), reflecting 
       the non-recurrence of the Residential Mortgage Backed Securities 
       settlement in Q318 YTD 
 --   Total income was an expense of GBP286m (Q318 YTD: GBP262m) 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 GBP155m 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 GBP155m 
       (Q318 YTD: GBP159m) 
 --   RWAs decreased to GBP13.4bn (December 2018: GBP26.0bn) 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

                            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 GBP0.8bn to GBP41.9bn. This was 
              driven by underlying profit generation of GBP4.0bn partially 
              offset by dividends paid and foreseen of GBP1.8bn, the additional 
              provision for PPI of GBP1.4bn, pension deficit reduction contribution 
              payments of GBP0.5bn and a loss on the redemption of Additional 
              Tier 1 (AT1) securities of GBP0.4bn 
        -    RWAs increased by GBP1.4bn to GBP313.3bn 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 GBP56.7bn. 
       Following discussions with regulators, the Group has removed this 
       floor with effect from 30 September 2019, thereby reducing RWAs 
       by GBP14.2bn 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 GBP1,171bn 
       (December 2018: GBP1,110bn). The UK leverage ratio decreased to 
       4.8% (December 2018: 5.1%) 
 

Group funding and liquidity

 
 --   The liquidity pool was stable at GBP226bn (December 2018: GBP227bn), 
       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 GBP77bn (December 2018: GBP90bn). 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 GBP162bn (December 2018: GBP154bn). The Group issued GBP8.2bn 
       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 GBP150m 
       representing the anticipated impact of economic uncertainty in 
       the UK 
 

Payment Protection Insurance

 
 --   Following the increase to the provision of GBP1.4bn and provision 
       utilisation of GBP350m during the third quarter, the Group held 
       a provision of GBP1.4bn against the cost of PPI redress and associated 
       processing costs as at 30 September 2019. The Group has recognised 
       GBP11bn 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

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 
       2020(2) . 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 GBP13.6bn(3) 
 --   The Group expects to be at its revised target CET1 ratio of c.13.5% 
       at year-end

 1   From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments 
      in relation to 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. This change 
      does not impact EPS or return on average tangible shareholders' 
      equity.

            1               From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments 
                             in relation to 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. This change 
                             does not impact EPS or return on average tangible shareholders' 
                             equity. 
            2.              Prior to Q118 comparatives calculated based on gross loans and 
                             advances at amortised cost before the balance sheet presentation 
                             change and IAS 39 impairment charge. 
            3               Refer to pages 36 to 45 for further information and calculations 
                             of performance measures excluding litigation and conduct.

            1              From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments 
                            in relation to 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. This change 
                            does not impact EPS or return on average tangible shareholders' 
                            equity. 
            2              Prior to Q118 comparatives calculated based on gross loans and 
                            advances at amortised cost before the balance sheet presentation 
                            change and IAS 39 impairment charge.

            1              From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments 
                            in relation to 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. This change 
                            does not impact EPS or return on average tangible shareholders' 
                            equity.

                            of performance measures excluding litigation and conduct.

            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

            4              The Group's combined product and equity structural hedge notional 
                            as at 30 September 2019 was GBP173bn, with an average duration 
                            of 2.5 to 3 years. Group net interest income includes gross structural 
                            hedge contributions of GBP1.4bn (Q318 YTD: GBP1.3bn) and net structural 
                            hedge contributions of GBP0.4bn (Q318 YTD: GBP0.6bn). 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.

RWAs increased GBP1.4bn to GBP313.3bn:

 
   --  'Book size' increased RWAs by GBP10.0bn primarily driven by increased 
        CIB activity 
   --  'Book quality' decreased RWAs by GBP1.4bn primarily due to changes 
        in risk profile within Barclays International 
   --  'Model updates' increased GBP1.3bn primarily due to the recalibration 
        of modelled wholesale RWAs 
   --  'Methodology and policy' decreased RWAs by GBP10.5bn primarily 
        due to removal of the operational risk floor 
   --  'Foreign exchange movements' increased RWAs by GBP2.2bn 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 GBP6.1bn and against the 0.2%, CCLB was GBP2.3bn.

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.

            3              T1 capital is calculated in line with the PRA Handbook. 
            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 GBP3.3bn to GBP53.8bn, which included the accretion of CET1 capital and a net increase in AT1 capital, partially offset by an increase in exposure of GBP61bn to GBP1,171bn primarily driven by SFTs trading activity.

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.8% (December 2018: 5.1%). T1 capital increased GBP2.0bn to GBP52.6bn, which included the accretion of CET1 capital and a net increase in AT1 capital. The UK leverage exposure increased GBP101bn to GBP1,100bn primarily driven Loans and advances and other assets and SFTs.

The Group also discloses a CRR leverage ratio(1) 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).

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

            1              From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments 
                            in relation to 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 YTD by GBP141m. This change does not impact 
                            EPS or return on average tangible shareholders' equity.

            1              From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments 
                            in relation to AT1 instruments has been recognised in the tax charge 
                            of the income statement, whereas it was previously recorded in 
                            retained earnings. This change does not impact EPS or return on 
                            average tangible shareholders' equity.

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.

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 'GBPm' and 'GBPbn' 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 'EURm' and 'EURbn' 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.
