Notes

The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the six months ended 30 June 2016 to the corresponding six months of 2015 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 June 2016 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2015. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; the abbreviations ‘m’ and ‘bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.

Comparatives have been restated to reflect the implementation of the Group business reorganisation. These restatements were detailed in our Form 6-K filed with the SEC dated April 15, 2016.

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 attached to this document.

The information in this document, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 28 July 2016, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the 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 with the SEC, copies of the Form 6-K will also be available from the Barclays Investor Relations website home.barclays/results and 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.

Certain Non-IFRS Measures

Barclays PLC (Barclays) management believes that the non-International Financial Reporting Standards (non-IFRS) measures included in this document provide valuable information to readers of its financial statements because they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the business’ 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 Barclays PLC and its subsidiaries (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 measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well.

Key non-IFRS measures included in this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures, are:

– Barclays Core results are non-IFRS measures because they represent the sum of the Operating Segments, each of which is prepared in accordance with IFRS 8; “Operating Segments”, and following the restatement of 14 April 2016 comprise Barclays UK, Barclays Corporate & International and Head Office. A reconciliation to IFRS is provided on page 23.

– Basic earnings/(loss) per share excluding notable items. The comparable IFRS measure is basic earnings/(loss) per share, which represents profit after tax and non-controlling interests, divided by the basic weighted average number of shares in issue. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 21.

– Constant currency results are calculated by converting ZAR results into GBP using the average exchange rate for the six months ended 30 June 2016 for the income statement and the 30 June 2016 closing exchange rate for the balance sheet to eliminate the impact of movement in exchange rates between the two periods.

– Estimated CRD IV liquidity coverage ratio is calculated according to the Commission Delegated Regulation of October 2014 that supplements Regulation (EU) 575/2013 (CRDIV) published by the European Commission in June 2013. The metric is applicable from 1 October 2015 and as such is a binding measure as at 31 December 2015.

– Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is calculated according to the definition and methodology detailed in the standard provided by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The original guidelines released in December 2010 (‘Basel III: International Framework for Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards and Monitoring’, December 2010) were revised in October 2014 (‘Basel III: The Net Stable Funding Ratio’, October 2014). The metric is a regulatory ratio that is not yet finalised in local regulations and, as such, represents a non-IFRS measure. This definition and the methodology used to calculate this metric is subject to further revisions ahead of the implementation date and our interpretation of this calculation may not be consistent with that of other financial institutions.

– Transitional CRD IV CET1 ratio according to FSA October 2012. This measure is calculated by taking into account the statement of the Financial Services Authority, the predecessor of the Prudential Regulation Authority, on CRD IV transitional provisions in October 2012, assuming such provisions were applied as at 1 January 2014. This ratio is used as the relevant measure starting 1 January 2014 for purposes of determining whether the automatic write-down trigger (specified as a Transitional CET1 ratio according to FSA October 2012 of less than 7.00%) has occurred under the terms of the Contingent Capital Notes issued by Barclays Bank PLC on 21 November 2012 (CUSIP: 06740L8C2) and 10 April 2013 (CUSIP: 06739FHK0). Please refer to page 36 for a reconciliation of this measure to fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio.

– Underlying cost: income ratio. The comparable IFRS measure is cost: income ratio. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 21.

 

 

 

   Barclays PLC – 2016 Interim Results   1   LOGO     


Table of Contents

– Underlying total operating expenses or total operating expenses excluding notable items. The comparable IFRS measure is total operating expenses. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 21.

– Underlying profit before tax or profit before tax excluding notable items. The comparable IFRS measure is profit before tax. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 21.

– Underlying return on average tangible shareholders’ equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on average tangible shareholders’ equity, which represents annualised profit after tax for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders, including an adjustment for the tax credit in reserves in respect of other equity instruments, as a proportion of average shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments adjusted for the deduction of intangible assets and goodwill. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 21.

– Underlying total income. The comparable IFRS measure is total income net of insurance claims. The comparable IFRS measure and excluded items noted below are provided on page 21.

References to underlying performance exclude the impact of notable items.

Notable items which are excluded from certain of the key non-IFRS measures described above are considered to be significant items impacting comparability of performance and have been called out for each of the business segments. Notable items include: the impact of own credit in total income net of insurance claims; the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in total income net of insurance claims; gains on US Lehman acquisition assets in total income net of insurance claims; revision of the Education, Social Housing, and Local Authority (ESHLA) valuation methodology in total income net of insurance claims; gain on valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability in operating expenses; impairment of goodwill and other assets relating to businesses being disposed in operating expenses, provisions for UK customer redress in litigation and conduct; provisions for ongoing investigations and litigation including Foreign Exchange in litigation and conduct; and losses on sale relating to the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian businesses in other net income/(expenses).

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. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, notable items, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the strategic cost programme and the Group Strategy Update, rundown of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core, sell down of the Group’s interest in Barclays Africa Group Limited, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, 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, future levels of notable items, 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 any entities within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the implications of the results of the 23 June 2016 referendum in the United Kingdom and the disruption that may result in the UK and globally from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union; the implementation of the strategic cost 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, expectations and 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 2015, the “2015 Annual Report”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to our obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the United States in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Performance Highlights

 

 

 

 

Group profit before tax of £2,063m (H115: £2,602m) reflected an increased Core profit before tax of £3,967m (H115: £3,347m) and Non-Core losses before tax of £1,904m (H115: £745m). Excluding notable items and an impairment of £372m in respect of the French retail, and wealth and investment management businesses, Group profit before tax was £2,037m (H115: £3,217m)

 

 

 

Group return on average tangible equity (RoTE) of 4.8% (H115: 6.9%) reflected attributable profit in Core of £2,444m (H115: £2,000m) and the attributable loss in Non-Core of £1,490m (H115: £582m)

 

 

 

Core profit before tax increased 19% to £3,967m including a gain of £615m on the disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and an additional provision of £400m relating to UK customer redress. Core RoTE was 12.5% (H115: 11.3%) on an increased average tangible equity base of £40bn (H115: £36bn). Core basic earnings per share contribution was 14.8p (H115: 12.1p)

 

 

 

Non-Core loss before tax was £1,904m (H115: £745m) reflecting the continued execution of our strategy. The loss included the impairment of £372m in respect of the assets of the French retail, and wealth and investment management businesses that are held for sale

 

 

 

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 13.6% (H115: 10.6%). Profit before tax increased 52% to £1,080m and total operating expenses decreased 11% to £2,299m, predominantly as a result of the reduced provisions for UK customer redress. Net interest margin increased 2bps to 3.59%

 

 

 

Barclays UK delivered a strong underlying RoTE of 19.4% (H115: 21.9%). Underlying profit before tax decreased 4% to £1,329m driven by lower interchange fee income in Barclaycard Consumer UK and an increase in impairment

 

 

 

Barclays Corporate & International delivered a RoTE of 14.3% (H115: 11.0%) and an underlying RoTE of 10.7% (H115: 12.4%). Underlying income remained in line with strong growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments and whilst income decreased in Corporate & Investment Bank (CIB), it was resilient in challenging market conditions

 

 

 

Momentum in the execution of the Non-Core strategy continued with good progress on business sales and the rundown of the derivative portfolio during the period. Period end allocated tangible equity in Non-Core reduced to £8bn (December 2015: £9bn), with risk weighted assets (RWAs) decreasing by a further £8bn to £46.7bn in H116, despite adverse market movements

 

 

 

Common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio increased to 11.6% (December 2015: 11.4%). CET1 capital increased £1.6bn to £42.4bn primarily through profits generated in the period of £1.3bn. Group RWAs continue to be actively managed with the increase of £8bn to £366bn being principally due to the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP

 

 

 

The leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%), with leverage exposure increasing by £127bn to £1,155bn primarily due to higher cash and settlement balances, following increased client activity, and the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP

 

 

 

Tangible net asset value per share increased to 289p (December 2015: 275p) driven by profit generated in the period and net favourable reserve movements

 

Progress on strategy execution in Q216

 

 

Sale of 12.2% of Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) issued share capital. Barclays now holds 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital

 

 

 

Completion of the sale of the retail banking, wealth, and investment management, and parts of the Corporate Banking business in Portugal

 

 

 

Announcement of exclusive discussions with AnaCap Financial Partners for the potential sale of the French retail, and wealth and investment management businesses

 

 

 

Restructuring of the terms of the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority (ESHLA) loans with Lender Option Borrower Option (LOBO) features. These loans are now classified as loans held at amortised cost, reducing the ESHLA loans held at fair value by £8bn and the fair value volatility on the ESHLA portfolio going forward

 

 

 

Redemption of $1.15bn 7.75% Series 4 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares

Group Performance Review

 

 

Group profit before tax decreased 21% to £2,063m and performance in the half was impacted by the results of Non-Core, which reported a loss before tax of £1,904m (H115: £745m) driven by net negative income of £586m (H115: positive income of £465m), as the momentum in the rundown continued. Non-Core results included fair value losses on the ESHLA portfolio of £424m (H115: £175m) and an impairment of £372m in respect of the assets of the French retail, and wealth and investment management businesses held for sale. Excluding this impairment and notable items, Group profit before tax was £2,037m (H115: £3,217m).

The Core business performed well, with a RoTE of 12.5% (H115: 11.3%) on an increased average tangible equity base of £40bn (H116: £36bn). This was driven by steady performance in Barclays UK, and solid performance in Barclays Corporate & International. CIB results were resilient, despite the challenging market conditions, particularly in Credit, while substantial business growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments drove a significant increase in the profit before tax. Core results included a £615m (H115: £nil) gain following the completion of the sale of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited to Visa Inc. and an increase in provisions for UK customer redress of £400m (H115: £967m).

Total Core operating expenses reduced 10% to £6,747m driven by lower litigation and conduct charges, savings from strategic cost programmes and reduced compensation costs, partially offset by appreciation of the average USD and EUR against GBP and increased structural reform programme implementation costs.

Group performance

 

 

Profit before tax decreased 21% to £2,063m primarily driven by the loss before tax in Non-Core of £1,904m (H115: £745m) and a 19% increase in Core profit before tax of £3,967m

 

 

Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity was 4.8% (H115: 6.9%) and basic earnings per share was 6.9p (H115: 9.9p)

 

 

Total income net of insurance claims decreased 9% to £11,013m as Non-Core income reduced to a net expense of £586m (H115: income of £465m). Core income was in line at £11,599m (H115: £11,646m)

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased £152m to £931m primarily driven by the impairment of a number of single name exposures, largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector, and an increase in Barclaycard Consumer UK impairment due to refinement of impairment modelling. The loan loss rate increased 4bps to 39bps whilst underlying delinquency rates remained stable

 

 

Total operating expenses reduced 10% to £7,697m reflecting reduced litigation and conduct charges, and savings from strategic cost programmes, partially offset by restructuring and structural reform programme implementation costs, and continued investment in Consumer, Cards and Payments. Total operating expenses included a £400m (H115: £1,032m) increase in provisions for UK customer redress

 

 

The effective tax rate on profit before tax increased to 34.7% (H115: 32.7%)

 

 

Profit after tax in respect of continuing operations decreased 23% to £1,348m. Profit after tax in relation to the Africa Banking discontinued operation decreased 13% to £311m driven by the depreciation of average ZAR against GBP

 

 

Notable items were a net profit before tax of £398m (H115: loss of £615m). H116 notable items comprised provisions for UK customer redress of £400m (H115: £1,032m), a £615m (H115: £nil) gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and an own credit gain of £183m (H115: £410m)

 

 

Group income statement performance was materially impacted by the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, positively benefiting income and adversely affecting impairment and operating expenses

Commentary which follows is stated on a statutory and underlying basis, with the underlying excluding notable items; see page 1 for explanation of certain non-IFRS measures.

Core performance

 

 

Core performance generated a RoTE of 12.5% (H115: 11.3%) and underlying Core performance generated a RoTE of 10.8% (H115: 13.7%) reflecting an 8% reduction in profit before tax to £3,569m and a £4bn increase in average tangible equity to £40bn as capital was redeployed from Non-Core

 

 

Total income remained stable at £11,599m (H115: £11,646m) and underlying total income was 1% up at £10,801m, as a 19% increase in Consumer, Cards and Payments to £1,881m was partially offset by the impact of challenging market conditions in CIB where total income reduced 5% to £5,207m. Barclays UK total income increased 3% to £3,746m and underlying total income was 1% down at £3,595m primarily reflecting the impact of the European Interchange Fee Regulation

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased £158m to £876m primarily driven by the impairment of a number of single name exposures, largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector, and an increase in Barclaycard Consumer UK due to refinement of impairment modelling

Group Performance Review

 

 

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased 10% to £6,747m due to reduced litigation and conduct expenses and underlying total operating expenses increased 3% to £6,347m reflecting the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP and increased structural reform programme implementation costs, partially offset by savings from strategic cost programmes

Barclays UK

 

 

RoTE was 13.6% (H115: 10.6%) and underlying RoTE was 19.4% (H115: 21.9%)

 

 

Profit before tax increased 52% to £1,080m driven by reduced litigation and conduct expenses and the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited

 

 

Total income increased 3% to £3,746m primarily due to the £151m gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited

 

 

Underlying profit before tax decreased 4% to £1,329m driven by a 1% decrease in total income, primarily due to the impact of the European Interchange Fee Regulation, and a 10% increase in credit impairment charges, partially offset by a 1% reduction in underlying total operating expenses

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased 10% to £366m primarily due to the refinement of impairment modelling in Barclaycard Consumer UK, whilst the 30 day and 90 day arrears rates remained stable year-on-year

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased 11% to £2,299m reflecting reduced conduct expenses and savings realised from strategic cost programmes and lower restructuring costs, partially offset by structural reform programme implementation costs

 

 

Underlying total operating expenses reduced 1% reflecting savings realised from strategic cost programmes, partially offset by structural reform programme implementation costs

Barclays Corporate & International

 

 

RoTE was 14.3% (H115: 11.0%)

 

 

Underlying RoTE was 10.7% (H115: 12.4%)

 

 

Profit before tax increased 16% to £2,753m due to the non recurrence of notable items in H115, partially offset by the factors below which have driven the reduction in underlying profit before tax

 

 

Underlying profit before tax decreased 10% to £2,289m driven by a 4% increase in operating expenses due to the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, and increased structural reform programme implementation costs, in addition to a 33% increase in credit impairment charges largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector

 

 

Total income and underlying total income were broadly in line with H115 at £7,522m and £7,088m respectively (H115: £7,556m and £7,060m underlying), including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, with Consumer, Cards and Payments income increasing 19%, driven by continued growth in Barclaycard US, Germany and Merchant Acquiring. CIB income decreased 5% as Markets income reduced 6%, within which Equities and Macro were 22% and 4% lower respectively, relative to a strong H115 performance, partially offset by a 35% increase in Credit. Banking income decreased 5%

Head Office

 

 

Profit before tax reduced 47% to £134m predominantly due to a smaller own credit gain of £183m (H115: £410m) and underlying loss before tax was £49m (H115: loss of £58m) reflecting the net result from treasury operations, including one-off gains from the buyback of subordinated debt in Q116

Non-Core performance

 

 

The Non-Core rundown remains on track. As part of this, on 27 April 2016, Barclays announced that it had entered into exclusive discussions with AnaCap Financial Partners for the potential sale of its French retail, and wealth and investment management businesses. Other net expenses included a £372m impairment associated with these assets

 

 

During Q216, the terms of the ESHLA portfolio loans with LOBO features were restructured. As a result of the restructuring, a one-off loss of £182m was recognised in Non-Core income in Q216. The restructuring resulted in the derecognition of £8bn of existing Level 3 fair valued loan assets with the new restructured assets now measured on an amortised cost basis. As a result, Barclays will benefit from reduced fair value volatility on the ESHLA portfolio going forward

 

 

Non-Core RWAs reduced to £46.7bn (December 2015: £54.3bn), despite the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP, reflecting a £3bn reduction in Derivatives, a £3bn reduction in Securities and loans and a £1bn reduction in Businesses

RWAs, including a £1.8bn reduction following the completion of the sale of the retail banking, wealth and investment management and part of the Corporate Banking business in Portugal

 

 

Loss before tax and underlying loss before tax increased to £1,904m (H115: £745m and £659m underlying) driven by a £1,051m reduction in total income to a net expense of £586m including fair value losses of £424m (H115: £175m) on the ESHLA portfolio, a one-off loss of £182m due to the restructuring of the ESHLA portfolio LOBO loan terms as well as lower income following the completion of the sale of the Barclays Wealth Americas, UK Secured Lending, and Portuguese retail and insurance businesses. Derivatives income reduced £135m to an expense of £198m reflecting the active rundown of the portfolios and funding costs

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased 12% due to the non recurrence of notable items from H115 and the factors outlined below, causing underlying operating expenses to reduce

 

 

Underlying operating expenses reduced 6%, reflecting cost savings from ceasing certain investment banking activities in a number of countries, the completion of the sale of several businesses and the rundown of portfolios, partially offset by a £180m increase in restructuring charges

Group capital, leverage and balance sheet

 

 

The leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) driven by the increase in leverage exposure primarily due to balance sheet movements

 

 

Leverage exposure increased 12% to £1,155bn, while total assets increased 21% to £1,351bn from 31 December 2015

 

   

Total loans and advances and other assets increased £93bn to £718bn. The increase was primarily driven by a £27bn increase in cash and balances at central banks due to an increase in the cash element of the Group liquidity pool in preparation for the EU referendum, a £26bn increase in settlement balances following increased client activity, lending growth of £14bn within Barclays Corporate & International and an £8bn increase in Africa Banking assets held for sale reflecting the appreciation of ZAR against GBP

 

   

Net derivative leverage exposure remained broadly flat as an increase in assets of £117bn to £445bn was offset by an increase in derivative liabilities resulting in regulatory derivative netting increasing £109bn to £402bn. The increase was mostly within interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange derivatives reflecting a decrease in the major forward interest rates and appreciation of all major currencies against GBP

 

 

The fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio increased to 11.6% (December 2015: 11.4%) reflecting an increase in CET1 capital of £1.6bn to £42.4bn, whilst RWAs increased by £8bn to £366bn

 

   

The increase in CET1 capital was largely driven by profits generated in the period and favourable movements in other qualifying reserves which included the currency translation reserves as a result of the appreciation of all major currencies against GBP

 

   

The increase in RWAs was principally due to the appreciation of USD, EUR and ZAR against GBP, which more than offset underlying RWA reductions in Non-Core

 

 

Tangible net asset value per share increased to 289p (December 2015: 275p) driven by profit generated in the period and net favourable reserve movements

Group funding and liquidity

 

 

The Group continued to maintain surpluses to its internal and regulatory requirements in H116 with a liquidity pool of £149bn (December 2015: £145bn). The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) decreased to 124% (December 2015: 133%), equivalent to a surplus of £29bn (December 2015: £37bn) driven primarily by the early repayment of the Bank of England’s Funding for Lending Scheme of £12bn in Q116 as Barclays optimised its funding cost

 

 

Wholesale funding outstanding excluding repurchase agreements increased £12bn to £154bn, driven by the prudent management of the liquidity position in the immediate run-up to the 23 June 2016 referendum in the United Kingdom. The Group issued £5.7bn of senior unsecured debt and capital transactions from the holding company in H116, of which £4.2bn and £0.6bn in public and private senior unsecured debt respectively, and £0.9bn of subordinated debt. £6.1bn of Barclays Bank PLC senior debt and capital instruments have been bought back or called during H116. Proceeds raised by Barclays PLC have been used to invest in Barclays Bank PLC instruments in each case with a corresponding ranking

Other matters

 

 

On 5 May 2016, Barclays sold 103.6m ordinary shares in the capital of BAGL, representing 12.2% of BAGL issued share capital at a price of ZAR 126 per share through an accelerated bookbuild placing. The placing resulted in a proforma 10bps increase to the CET1 ratio in Q216. Barclays now holds 424.7m ordinary shares in the capital of BAGL, representing 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital. BAGL remains fully consolidated within the Group at 30 June 2016

 

 

On 10 May 2016, Barclays announced it would exercise its right to redeem its $1.15bn 7.75% Series 4 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares on their optional redemption date of 15 June 2016. The redemption resulted in a proforma 6bps decrease to the CET1 ratio in Q216, but will result in an ongoing reduction in preference share dividends payable of $89m per annum from 15 June 2016 onwards

 

 

The acquisition of Visa Europe Limited by Visa Inc. completed on 21 June 2016 resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain on disposal of £615m in income in Q216. £396m of this amount had previously been recognised in Available for Sale Reserves in Q415

 

 

Additional UK customer redress provisions of £400m (H115: £1,032m) relating to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) were recognised in Q216, reflecting an updated estimate of costs, primarily relating to ongoing remediation programmes

 

 

H116 included an own credit gain of £183m (H115: £410m)

Dividends

 

 

An interim dividend of 1.0p per share will be paid on 19 September 2016

Income statement – H116 compared to H115

 

 

Profit before tax increased 52% to £1,080m. Underlying profit before tax, excluding the impact of notable items decreased 4% to £1,329m driven by reduced income and an increase in credit impairment charges, partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses

 

 

Total income, including a gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited recognised in Personal Banking and Business Banking increased 3% to £3,746m. Underlying total income reduced 1% to £3,595m, within which:

 

   

Personal Banking income increased 1% to £1,858m driven by improved deposit margins and balance growth, partially offset by a lower mortgage margin

 

   

Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 5% to £954m primarily driven by the impact of the European Interchange Fee Regulation, which began to come into full effect from December 2015, and is now fully implemented

 

   

Wealth, Entrepreneurs & Business Banking (WEBB) decreased 2% to £783m driven by reduced transactional appetite from clients in equity markets and a reduction in assets under management, partially offset by improved deposit margins and balance growth

 

   

Net interest income was broadly in line at £2,977m (H115: £2,965m) due to balance growth and deposit pricing initiatives, offset by a lower mortgage margin

 

   

Net interest margin increased 2bps to 3.59% reflecting higher margins on Personal Banking deposits, partially offset by lower lending margins

 

   

Net fee, commission and other income decreased 8% to £618m due to the impact of the European Interchange Fee Regulation, which began to come into full effect from December 2015, and is now fully implemented, and reduced fee and commission income in WEBB

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased 10% to £366m primarily due to refinement of impairment modelling in Barclaycard Consumer UK, whilst the 30 day and 90 day arrears rates remained stable year-on-year

 

 

Total operating expenses reduced 11% to £2,299m, including provisions for UK customer redress. Underlying total operating expenses reduced 1% to £1,899m reflecting savings realised from strategic cost programmes, relating to restructuring of the branch network and technology improvements, partially offset by structural reform programme implementation costs and increased amortisation from investment in digital

 

 

Cost: income ratio was 61% (H115: 71%) and RoTE was 13.6% (H115: 10.6%)

 

 

Underlying cost: income ratio was 53% (H115: 53%) and underlying RoTE was 19.4% (H115: 21.9%)

Balance sheet – 30 June 2016 compared to 31 December 2015

 

 

Loans and advances to customers were stable at £166.0bn (December 2015: £166.1bn)

 

 

Total assets increased 1% to £204.6bn driven by an increase in WEBB

 

 

Customer deposits increased 3% to £181.7bn primarily driven by higher balances in Personal Banking

 

 

RWAs reduced £2.4bn to £67.1bn primarily driven by credit risk model changes following approval from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA)

Barclays Corporate & International

 

 

Profit before tax increased 16% to £2,753m, driven by an 11% reduction in total operating expenses due to the non recurrence of H115 notable items. Underlying profit before tax, which excludes the impact of notable items decreased 10% to £2,289m driven by a 4% increase in underlying total operating expenses to £4,309m due to the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, structural reform programme implementation and restructuring costs, and a 33% increase in credit impairment charges to £509m

 

 

Total income and underlying total income remained broadly in line at £7,552m and £7,088m respectively (H115: £7,556m and £7,060m underlying), including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, with Consumer, Cards and Payments income increasing 19% to £1,881m and CIB income decreasing 5% to £5,207m

 

 

Cost: income ratio was 57% (H115: 64%) and RoTE was 14.3% (H115: 11.0%)

 

 

Underlying cost: income ratio was 61% (H115: 59%) and underlying RoTE was 10.7% (H115: 12.4%)

Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB)

Income statement – H116 compared to H115

 

 

Profit before tax decreased 16% to £1,610m primarily due to a reduction in income driven by challenging market conditions in Equities, increased credit impairment charges of £132m (H115: £41m), offset by reduced total operating expenses. Total income and total operating expenses have also been impacted by the appreciation of average USD against GBP

 

 

Total income decreased 5% to £5,207m:

 

   

Markets income decreased 6% to £2,695m, within which:

 

   

Credit income increased 35% to £591m driven by strong performance in fixed income credit flow businesses, which benefitted from increased market volatility

 

   

Equities income decreased 22% to £919m following simplification of the business model with minimal impact on returns as lower income in EMEA and Asia was partially offset by increases in the Americas in a challenging trading environment

 

   

Macro income decreased 4% to £1,185m due to lower client activity in Q116 partially offset by an improved Q216 performance, primarily in rates and currency products

 

   

Banking income decreased 5% to £2,509m, within which:

 

   

Banking fee income decreased 2% to £1,103m driven by lower equity underwriting fees, partially offset by higher advisory and debt underwriting fees

 

   

Corporate lending reduced 10% to £608m due to the non-recurrence of a one-off work-out gain recognised in H115, in addition to some margin reduction, partially offset by balance growth

 

   

Transactional banking income reduced 4% to £798m primarily due to margin and rate compression, partially offset by income from higher deposit balances and an increase in payment volumes

 

 

Credit impairment charges of £132m (H115: £41m) arose from impairment of a number of single name exposures primarily in Q116, largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased 14% to £3,465m due to lower litigation and conduct costs, offset by the appreciation of average USD against GBP and restructuring and structural reform programme implementation costs

Balance sheet – 30 June 2016 compared to 31 December 2015

 

 

Loans and advances to banks and customers at amortised cost increased £43.2bn to £195.2bn primarily driven by increases in settlements, cash collateral and new client activity during the period

 

 

Derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities increased 63% to £181.2bn and 57% to £187.4bn respectively, due to decreases in major forward interest rates and appreciation of major currencies against GBP

 

 

Trading portfolio assets increased £6.2bn to £68.1bn due to an increase in client activity

 

 

Financial assets designated at fair value increased £21.4bn to £68.2bn primarily due to an increase in reverse repurchase agreements that have been designated at fair value, increased matched book trading and firm funding requirements

Consumer, Cards and Payments

Income statement – H116 compared to H115

 

 

Profit before tax increased £675m to £1,143m due to a gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and a 20% year-on-year increase in loans and advances to banks and customers

Credit impairment charges increased 10% to £377m primarily driven by balance growth and the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP

 

 

Total operating expenses increased 6% to £844m including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP

Balance sheet – 30 June 2016 compared to 31 December 2015

Income statement – H116 compared to H115

 

 

Profit before tax reduced 47% to £134m

Balance sheet – 30 June 2016 compared to 31 December 2015

 

 

Total assets increased £28.3bn to £87.7bn driven by an increase in the liquidity buffer held due to uncertainty relating to the 23 June 2016 referendum in the United Kingdom

Barclays Non-Core

Income statement – H116 compared to H115

 

 

Loss before tax increased to £1,904m (H115: £745m). Underlying loss before tax increased to £1,904m (H115: £659m) driven by reduced income and increased losses resulting from continued progress on the rundown of Securities and loans, Businesses, and Derivative assets, a £372m impairment associated with the valuation of the French retail, and wealth and investment management businesses in other net expenses, and higher fair value losses on the ESHLA portfolio

 

 

Total income net of insurance claims reduced £1,051m to a net expense of £586m

 

   

Businesses income reduced 37% to £377m due to the impact of lower income following the completion of the sale of the Barclays Wealth Americas, UK Secured Lending and Portuguese retail and insurance businesses

 

   

Securities and loans income decreased £697m to a net expense of £765m primarily driven by fair value losses of £424m (H115: £175m) on the ESHLA portfolio, a one-off loss of £182m due to the restructure of the ESHLA portfolio loan terms and the non-recurrence of a £91m provision release relating to a litigation matter in Q115

 

   

Derivatives income reduced £135m to an expense of £198m reflecting the active rundown of the portfolios and funding costs

 

 

Credit impairment charges improved 10% to £55m due to higher recoveries in Europe

 

 

Total operating expenses improved 12% to £950m driven by the non recurrence of notable items in H115 and the factors outlined below, causing underlying operating expenses to reduce

 

 

Underlying total operating expenses improved 6% to £950m, reflecting cost savings from ceasing certain investment banking activities in a number of countries and the completion of the sale of several businesses, partially offset by a £180m increase in restructuring charges

 

 

Other net expenses of £313m (H115: £72m) included a £372m impairment associated with the valuation of the French retail, and wealth and investment management businesses

Balance sheet – 30 June 2016 compared to 31 December 2015

 

 

Loans and advances to banks and customers at amortised cost increased 32% to £68.5bn due to an increase in cash collateral assets and the reclassification of £8bn of ESHLA loans now recognised at amortised cost, following the restructure of LOBO loan terms, partially offset by the reclassification of assets on the announced sale of the Asia wealth and investment management business to assets held for sale, and the rundown and exit of historical investment bank assets

 

 

Derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities increased 23% to £262.8bn and 25% to £253.4bn respectively, due to a rates rally across the three major currencies (GBP, USD, EUR) from December 2015 to June 2016, partially offset by the continued rundown of the derivative back book

 

 

Customer deposits decreased £3.5bn to £17.4bn due to the increase in collateral received

 

 

Total assets increased £53.3bn to £379.1bn due to higher derivative financial instrument assets which increased £49.1bn to £262.8bn. Derivative financial instrument liabilities increased £51.3bn to £253.4bn

 

 

Leverage exposure decreased £15bn to £134bn due to reduced potential future exposure on derivatives and trading portfolio assets

 

 

RWAs reduced £7.6bn to £46.7bn including a £3bn reduction in Derivatives, a £3bn reduction in Securities and loans, and a £1bn reduction in Businesses RWAs, despite the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP and other adverse market movements

Africa Banking - Discontinued Operation

 

 

 

On 1 March 2016, Barclays announced its intention to sell down the Group’s interest in BAGL. This sell down is intended to be to a level which will permit deconsolidation from an accounting and regulatory perspective, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals if and as required. On 5 May 2016 Barclays executed the first tranche of the sell down of the Group’s interest in BAGL with the sale of 12.2% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Following completion of the sale, Barclays’ holding represents 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital.

The Africa Banking business meets the requirements for presentation as a discontinued operation. As such, these results have been presented as two lines on the face of the Group income statement, representing the profit after tax and non-controlling interest in respect of the discontinued operation. Were the fair value of BAGL, based on its quoted share price, less estimated costs to sell, to fall below the carrying amount of the net assets of BAGL including goodwill on acquisition, a resulting impairment to Barclays’ stake in BAGL would also be recognised through these lines.

Total Barclays UK and Barclays Corporate & International NII increased 4% to £4,951m due to:

 

   

An increase in average customer assets to £250.3bn (2015: £248.3bn) driven by growth in Barclays Corporate & International.

 

   

Net interest margin increased 10bps to 3.98% primarily driven by growth in interest earning lending in Barclaycard US. Barclays UK remained stable with higher margins on Personal Banking deposits, partially offset by lower lending margins. Group NII was flat at £5.2bn (2015: £5.2bn) including net structural hedge contributions of £0.7bn (2015: £0.7bn).

 

 

Net interest margin by business reflects movements in the Group’s internal funding rates which are based on the cost to the Group of alternative funding in wholesale markets. The internal funding rate prices intra-group funding and liquidity to appropriately give credit to businesses with net surplus liquidity and to charge those businesses in need of alternative funding at a rate that is driven by prevailing market rates and includes a term premium

Risk Management

 

 

Risk management and principal risks

Barclays’ risk management responsibilities are laid out in the Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF), which creates clear ownership and accountability, with the purpose that the Group’s most significant risk exposures are understood and managed in accordance with agreed risk appetite, and that there is regular reporting of both risk exposures and the operating effectiveness of controls. It includes those risks incurred by Barclays that are foreseeable, continuous, and material enough to merit establishing specific bank-wide control frameworks. These are known as Key Risks and are grouped into five Principal Risks: Credit Risk; Market Risk; Funding Risk; Operational Risk; and Conduct Risk. Further detail on these risks and how they are managed is available from the 2015 Annual Report or online at home.barclays/annualreport. Aside from the risks set out below there has been no other significant change to the Key Risks, risk management or principal uncertainties during the period or expected for the remaining six months of the financial year.

The UK held a referendum on 23 June 2016 on whether it should remain a member of the European Union (“EU”). This resulted in a vote in favour of leaving the EU. The result of the referendum means that the long-term nature of the UK’s relationship with the EU is unclear and there is uncertainty as to the nature and timing of any agreement with the EU. In the interim, there is a risk of uncertainty for both the UK and the EU, which could adversely affect the economy of the UK and the other economies in which we operate. The potential risks associated with an exit from the EU have been carefully considered by the Board during the first half of 2016 and relevant actions taken where appropriate. Potential risks for Barclays include:

 

 

Market Risk

 

   

Potential for continued market volatility (notably FX and interest rates) given political uncertainty which could affect the value of Trading Book positions, Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book, as well as securities held by Barclays for liquidity purposes. Changes in the long-term outlook for UK interest rates might also adversely affect UK Pension IAS19 liabilities

 

 

Credit Risk

 

   

Increased risk of a UK recession with lower growth, higher unemployment and falling UK house prices. This would likely negatively impact a number of Barclays’ portfolios, notably: higher Loan-to-Value mortgages, UK unsecured and Commercial Real Estate exposures

 

 

Operational Risk

 

   

Changes to current EU “Passporting” rights: the UK’s withdrawal from the EU may result in the loss of cross-border market access rights which would require Barclays to make alternative licensing arrangements in EU jurisdictions in which Barclays continues to operate

 

   

The legal framework within which Barclays operates could change as the UK takes steps to replace laws currently in force, which are based on EU legislation and regulation

 

   

Uncertainty over the UK’s future approach to EU freedom of movement will impact Barclays’ access to the EU talent pool, decisions on hiring from the EU of critical roles and rights to work of current Barclays non-UK EU citizens located in the UK and UK citizens located in the EU

 

 

Funding Risk

 

   

Potential for credit spread widening and reduced investor appetite for bank paper, which could negatively impact the cost of and/or access to funding

The following section gives an overview of the performance in Funding Risk – Liquidity, Funding Risk – Capital, Credit Risk and Market Risk for the period.

Funding Risk – Liquidity

 

 

 

Funding & liquidity

Whilst Barclays has a comprehensive framework for managing the Group’s liquidity risks, liquidity risk is managed separately at Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) due to local currency and funding requirements. All disclosures in this section exclude BAGL with the exception of the liquidity stress testing table below, which is reported on a stand-alone basis. For both internal and regulatory stress tests, BAGL is included within the Group

2 Includes Barclays Africa discontinued operations.

Barclays manages the Group’s liquidity position against the Group’s internally defined Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA) and regulatory metrics, such as Interim CRDIV Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). As at 30 June 2016, the Group held eligible liquid assets significantly in excess of 100% of net stress outflows for both the 30 day Barclays-specific LRA and the LCR.

The LRA buffer duration as of 30 June 2016 was observed at 71 days.

Barclays estimated its Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) at 106% (2015: 106%) based on the final NSFR guidelines published by the BCBS in October 2014.

Barclays manages the liquidity pool on a centralised basis. The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and is not used to support payment or clearing requirements. As at 30 June 2016, 92% (2015: 94%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC and was available to meet liquidity needs across the Barclays Group. The residual liquidity pool is held predominantly within Barclays Capital Inc. The portion of the liquidity pool outside of Barclays Bank PLC is held primarily against entity-specific stressed outflows and regulatory requirements.

Trading portfolio assets are largely funded by repurchase agreements with 54% (2015: 57%) secured against extremely liquid fixed income assets3. The weighted average maturity of these repurchase agreements secured against less liquid assets was 94 days (2015: 77 days)

 

 

The majority of reverse repurchase agreements are matched by repurchase agreements. As at 30 June 2016, 41% (2015: 55%) of matched book activity was secured against extremely liquid fixed income assets3. The remainder of reverse repurchase agreements are used to settle trading portfolio liabilities

 

 

Derivative assets and liabilities are largely matched. A substantial proportion of balance sheet derivative positions qualify for counterparty netting and the remaining portions are largely offset once netted against cash collateral received and paid

 

 

The Group liquidity pool is primarily funded by wholesale debt with the remainder being funded by customer deposits and other assets are largely matched by term wholesale debt and equity

 

1 The portion of the liquidity pool estimated to be funded by wholesale funds.
2 Predominantly available for sale investments, trading portfolio assets, financial assets designated at fair value and loans and advances to banks.
3 Extremely liquid fixed income is defined as very highly rated sovereigns and agencies, typically rated AA+ or better. It excludes liquid fixed income, equities and other less liquid collateral.

Following the EU referendum on 23 June 2016, all three credit rating agencies took rating actions on the UK sovereign. S&P and Moody’s also separately revised their view on the UK banking sector, and changed a number of UK banks’ outlooks to negative, including for Barclays. On 28 June 2016, Moody’s affirmed Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays PLC’s ratings at A2/P-1 and Baa3/P-3 respectively, but changed the outlook on the long-term and deposit ratings from stable to negative. After quarter end, S&P on 7 July 2016 took similar action by affirming Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays PLC’s ratings at A-/A-2 and BBB/A-2 respectively while changing the long-term rating outlooks from stable to negative. Ratings and outlooks for Barclays have remained unchanged with Fitch after the UK referendum.

Rating and Investment Information (R&I) affirmed Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays PLC’s ratings at A and A- respectively with stable outlooks on 14 July 2016.

CRD IV capital

Barclays’ current regulatory requirement is to meet a fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio comprising the required 4.5% minimum CET1 ratio requirement and, phased in from 2016, a Combined Buffer Requirement currently expected to comprise of a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% and a Globally Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer of 2%. In addition, Barclays’ Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Guidance (ICG) for 2016 based on a point in time assessment is 3.9% of which 56% will need to be met in CET1 form, equating to approximately 2.2% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review, and all capital, RWA and leverage calculations reflect Barclays’ interpretation of the current rules.

In addition, a Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCCB) is required. On 5 July 2016 the Financial Policy Committee announced that it expects to maintain a CCCB of 0% on UK exposures until at least June 2017. Other national authorities also determine the appropriate CCCBs that should be applied to exposures in their jurisdiction. During 2016, CCCBs will start to apply for Barclays’ exposures to other jurisdictions; however based on current exposures this is not expected to be material.

As at 30 June 2016, Barclays’ CET1 ratio was 11.6% which exceeds the 2016 transitional minimum requirement of 7.8% including the minimum 4.5% CET1 ratio requirement, 2.2% of Pillar 2A, a 0.625% CCB buffer, a 0.5% G-SII buffer and a 0% CCCB.

1 The transitional regulatory adjustments to CET1 capital are no longer applicable resulting in CET1 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 12.8% based on £47bn of transitional CRD IV CET1 capital and £366bn of RWAs. This is calculated as CET1 capital as adjusted for the transitional relief (£46.9bn), divided by CRD IV RWAs. The following transitional relief items are added back to CET1 capital: Goodwill and Intangibles (£3.4bn), Deferred tax asset (£0.3bn), Debt valuation adjustment (£0.1bn), Expected losses over impairment (£0.6bn) and Excess minority interest (£0.2bn).
3 The PRA transitional capital is based on the PRA Rulebook and accompanying supervisory statements.
4 As at 30 June 2016, Barclays’ fully loaded Tier 1 capital was £47,946m, and the fully loaded Tier 1 ratio was 13.1%. Fully loaded total regulatory capital was £64,405m and the fully loaded total capital ratio was 17.6%. 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.

RWAs increased £7.9bn to £366.3bn, driven by:

 

 

Book size: RWAs increased £5.7bn, primarily driven by increases in the fair value of derivatives exposures as well as increased trading activity

 

 

Acquisitions and disposals: RWAs decreased £2.9bn, primarily driven by disposals in Non-Core, including the sale of the Portuguese business

 

 

Book quality: RWAs increased £2.3bn, primarily driven by changes in risk profile within Non-Core

 

 

Model updates: RWAs decreased £5.9bn, primarily driven by model changes in Barclays UK following approval from the PRA

 

 

Methodology and policy: RWAs decreased £3.1bn, primarily driven by the effect of collateral modelling for mismatched FX collateral on average CVA, and updates impacting credit conversion factors and standardised general market risk

 

 

Foreign exchange movements increased RWAs by £11.8bn, primarily driven by the appreciation of ZAR, USD and EUR against GBP

Leverage ratio and exposures

Effective 1 January 2016, Barclays is required to disclose a leverage ratio and an average leverage ratio applicable to the Group:

 

 

The leverage ratio is consistent with the December 2015 method of calculation and has been included in the table below. The calculation uses the end point CRR definition of Tier 1 capital for the numerator and the CRR definition of leverage exposure. The current expected minimum fully loaded requirement is 3%, although this could be impacted by the Basel Consultation on the Leverage Framework

 

 

The average leverage ratio as outlined by the PRA Supervisory Statement SS45/15 and the updated PRA rulebook is calculated as the capital measure divided by the exposure measure, where the capital and exposure measure is based on the average of the last day of each month in the quarter. The expected end point minimum requirement is 3.7% comprising of a 3% minimum requirement, a fully phased in G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB)

At 30 June 2016, Barclays’ leverage ratio was 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) in line with the average leverage ratio of 4.1%, which exceeds the transitional minimum requirement for Barclays of 3.175%, comprising of the 3% minimum requirement and a phased in G-SII ALRB. In addition, this exceeds the expected end point minimum requirement of 3.7%.

During H116, the leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) primarily driven by an increase in the leverage exposure of £127bn to £1,155bn partially offset by a £1.8bn increase in fully loaded Tier 1 capital to £47.9bn (Dec 2015: £46.2bn):

 

 

Loans and advances and other assets increased by £93bn to £718bn. The increase was primarily driven by a £27bn increase in cash and balances at central banks due to an increase in the cash contribution to the Group liquidity pool in preparation for the EU referendum, a £26bn increase in settlement balances following increased client activity, lending growth of £14bn within Barclays Corporate & International and a £8bn increase in Africa banking assets held for sale reflecting the appreciation of ZAR against GBP

 

 

Reverse repurchase agreements increased £15bn to £93bn, reflecting an increase in matched book trading

 

 

Net derivative leverage exposure, excluding net written credit protection and PFE on derivatives, increased by £7bn to £58bn primarily due to an increase in IFRS derivatives driven by an increase in interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange derivatives, reflecting a decrease in the major forward interest rates and appreciation of major currencies against GBP

 

 

PFE on derivatives increased by £13bn to £142bn primarily driven by the appreciation of major currencies against GBP, partially offset by compression activity, sale of positions and maturity of trades

 

 

Weighted off balance sheet commitments increased by £6bn to £117bn primarily driven by the appreciation of major currencies against GBP

The average leverage exposure measure for H116 was £1,139bn resulting in an average leverage ratio of 4.1%. The CET1 capital held against the 0.175% transitional G-SII ALRB was £2.0bn. There is no current impact for the CCLB for the group.

Additional Barclays’ regulatory disclosures prepared in accordance with the EBA Guidelines on materiality, proprietary and confidentiality and on disclosure frequency under Articles 432(1), 432(2) and 433 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (EBA/GL/2014/14) will be disclosed on 11 August 2016, available at home.barclays/results.

Net loans and advances increased £32.9bn to £473.4bn. This included a £46.4bn increase in cash collateral and settlement balances, an £8.1bn increase due to the reclassification of ESHLA loans now recognised at amortised cost, lending growth of £14.5bn within Barclays Corporate & International, partially offset by the reclassification to held for sale of £30.6bn BAGL balances and a decrease of £6.0bn from the rundown and exit of other assets in Non-Core.

Other risks being monitored include exposures to Russia, China and the Oil and Gas sector. Net on-balance sheet exposure to the Oil and Gas sector was £4.7bn (2015: £4.4bn), with contingent liabilities and commitments to this sector of £13.9bn (2015: £13.8bn). Impairment charges were £88m (H115: £2m). The ratio of the Group’s net total exposures classified as strong or satisfactory was 93% (2015: 97%) of the total net exposure to credit risk to this sector.

Includes Barclays Africa discontinued operations as at 31 December 2015.

Retail balances on forbearance reduced by 11% to £1.6bn primarily due to the non-inclusion of discontinued operations (BAGL) and continued improvement in Barclays UK, offset by a small increase in Barclays Corporate & International.

 

 

Barclays UK: Forbearance balances decreased 6% to £971m following continued improvement in card and mortgage portfolios driven by the benign economic environment

 

 

Barclays Corporate & International: Balances increased primarily due to US cards, driven by book growth, strategy changes and FX movements

Wholesale balances on forbearance decreased by 6% to £2.3bn primarily due to the non-inclusion of discontinued operations (BAGL), offset by an increase in Barclays Corporate & International.

Barclays UK: Arrears and charge-off rates remained stable, reflecting the continuing low base rate environment. Balance weighted LTV reduced to 47.2% (2015: 49.2%) as average house prices increased. This increase also contributed to a 10% reduction in home loans with LTV >100% to £280m (2015: £310m).

Exposures to interest-only home loans

The Group provides interest-only mortgages, mainly in the UK. Interest-only mortgages account for £50bn (2015: £50bn) of the total balance of £127bn (2015: £128bn) of UK home loans. This comprised £40bn (2015: £40bn) to owner-occupiers, and £10bn (2015: £10bn) to buy-to-let customers.

Of the £40bn exposure to owner-occupiers, £33bn (2015: £34bn) was interest-only, with the remaining £7bn (2015: £6bn) representing the interest-only component of Part and Part1 mortgages.

1 For UK and US cards, outstanding recoveries balances for acquired portfolios recognised at fair value (which have no related impairment allowance) have been excluded from the recoveries impairment coverage ratio. Losses have been recognised where related to additional spend from acquired accounts in the period post acquisition.

UK cards: In 2016, both early and late stage arrears remained stable within UK cards. The lower charge-off rate and higher recoveries proportion of outstanding reflected decreased debt sale activity during H1 16. The uplift in recoveries coverage ratio was due to increased net inflows into the recovery book that have a higher LGD rate because of longer expectation of cash flow.

UK personal loans: Arrears and charge-off rates remained stable reflecting the benign economic conditions. There was a drop in recoveries balances across the whole portfolio mainly due to the Barclayloan portfolio which continues to perform well. Recovery impairment coverage rate remained stable at 74.4%.

US cards: Arrears rates remained broadly in line with 2015. Higher charge-off rates were driven by a change in the product mix and the decrease in recoveries impairment coverage ratio was due to a model enhancement providing a more accurate representation of the future recovery expectation.

Barclays Partner Finance: Portfolio arrears and charge-off rates remained broadly steady during the first half of 2016. The recoveries impairment coverage has increased as a result of an additional impairment for customers reclassified into recoveries as per contractual ageing.

Group exposures to Eurozone countries

 

 

The following table shows Barclays’ most significant exposure (above £4bn net on-balance sheet exposure) to Eurozone countries. The basis of preparation is consistent with that described in the 2015 Annual Report

 

 

The net exposure provides the most appropriate measure of the credit risk to which the Group is exposed. The gross exposure is also presented below, alongside off-balance sheet contingent liabilities and commitments

 

 

The Italian residential mortgages of £10.0bn (December 2015: £9.5bn) are secured on residential property with average balance weighted marked to market LTVs of 61.4% (December 2015: 60.6%) and CRL coverage of 32% (December 2015: 31%). 90 day arrears and gross charge-off rates remained stable at 1.2% (December 2015: 1.2%) and 0.7% (December 2015: 0.7%) respectively

2 The high and low VaR figures reported for each category did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low VaR reported as a whole. Consequently a diversification effect balance for the high and low VaR figures would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the above table.

During H116 average total management VaR increased by 18% to £20m, largely due to credit VaR which increased by 25% to £15m, due to Barclays own credit spread widening materially. Basis VaR increased due to changes in cross currency positioning in our trading books.

The year-on-year decrease in equity VaR is mainly due to reduction in activity in capital markets.

Analysis of net interest income sensitivity

The table below shows sensitivity analysis on the pre-tax net interest income for the non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities held at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015. The sensitivity has been measured using the Annual Earnings at Risk (AEaR) methodology. Note that this metric assumes an instantaneous parallel change to interest rate forward curves. The model floors shocked rates at zero, therefore changes in NII sensitivity are only observed for forward rates of above zero. The main model assumptions are: (i) one year time horizon; (ii) balance sheet is kept at the current level i.e. no growth assumed; (iii) balances are adjusted for an assumed behavioural profile e.g. to take into account that a customer may remortgage or sell the asset before the contractual maturity of their mortgage; and (iv) behavioural assumptions are kept unchanged in the upward and downward shocks.

1 Non-Core figures are as at May 2016.
2 Excluding investment banking operations.
3 Head Office banking books (predominantly Treasury) are excluded as positions relate to liquidity and funding management activities. Treasury’s positions are sensitive to negative interest rates so the modelled floor assumption does not fully reflect the expected NII sensitivity. Head Office also includes the firm’s equity structural hedge programme which would create a positive earnings sensitivity as rates increase. The overall Head Office impact of a +/- 25 bps move is £(5)m / £3m respectively.

During H116 the GBP rate environment changed significantly, with a 25 bps GBP base rate cut implied in Q316. This means that the modelled base case already takes into account a lower UK rates outlook. A further 25bps downward shock is therefore a parallel fall in the forward rate curve from this point, which implies interest rates fall to zero (where the model floor assumption comes into effect).

Within Barclays UK and Barclays Corporate & International, margin compression risk has increased on customer liabilities versus FY15 as lower forecast base rates mean customer pricing is closer to the product rate floor level, beyond which the model assumes it would not pass on further rate reductions. As the impact of the first-25bps shock fully captures the margin compression on the base rate linked products there is a smaller incremental impact from the -50bps shock.

Volatility of the Available for Sale (AFS) portfolio in the liquidity pool

Changes in value of Available for Sale exposures flow directly through capital via equity reserve. The volatility of the value of the Available for Sale investments in the liquidity pool is captured and managed through a value measure rather than an earning measure, i.e. the Non-Traded Market Risk VaR.

Although the underlying methodology to calculate the Non-Traded VaR is similar to the one used in Traded Management VaR, the two measures are not directly comparable. The Non-Traded VaR represents the volatility to capital driven by the AFS exposures. These exposures are in the banking book and do not meet the criteria for trading book treatment.

The Non-Traded VaR is mainly driven by volatility of interest rates in developed markets.

During H116, average VaR remained stable as increased asset swap volatility was offset by a reduction in available for sale exposures. In Q216, available for sale VaR fell due to the reclassification of UK Gilts previously classified as available for sale investments to held to maturity to reflect the intention with these assets.

Financial Statement Notes

 

 

 

1. Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used in the Barclays 2015 Annual Report.

Future accounting developments

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and is currently expected to be endorsed by the EU in the second half of 2016. IFRS 9, in particular the impairment requirements, will lead to significant changes in the accounting for financial instruments.

Barclays has a jointly accountable risk and finance IFRS 9 implementation programme with representation from impacted departments.

In respect of the impairment implementation programme, during 2016 work has continued on the design and build of models, systems, processes, governance, controls and data collection ahead of a planned parallel run and testing phase in 2017.

The classification and measurement implementation programme is in progress, with the focus during 2016 on quantifying impact and finalising processes, governance and controls in preparation for the parallel run in 2017. An impact assessment in respect of hedge accounting is being performed.

For further information on this and other new standards refer to the Barclays 2015 Annual Report.

Going concern

Having reassessed the principal risks, the Directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim financial information and there are no material uncertainties.

Total staff costs

     4,601         4,292   

Total staff costs increased 7% to £4,601m, principally reflecting:

 

 

A reduction in Group performance costs of 15% to £797m primarily reflecting lower deferred bonus charges

 

 

An increase in post-retirement benefits expense to £245m due to the non-recurrence of a one-off £429m gain recognised in the prior period as the valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability was aligned to statutory provisions

 

 

An increase in other resourcing costs of 5% to £1,021m primarily due to a £197m increase in redundancy and restructuring costs due to strategic initiatives announced for the Investment Bank in January 2016

Group compensation costs increased 8% to £3,580m reflecting a Group compensation to net operating income ratio of 36% (H115: 29%). Excluding post-retirement benefits, Group compensation costs decreased 5% to £3,335m resulting in a Group compensation to net operating income ratio of 33% (H115: 31%).

No awards have yet been granted in relation to the 2016 bonus pool as decisions regarding incentive awards are not taken by the Remuneration Committee until the performance for the full year can be assessed. The current year bonus charge for the first six months represents an accrual for estimated costs in accordance with accounting requirements.

4.        Held for sale assets and discontinued operations 

The Group applies IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. 

On 1 March 2016, Barclays announced its intention to reduce the Group’s 62.3% interest in BAGL. This reduction is intended to be to a level which will permit deconsolidation from an accounting and regulatory perspective, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals if and as required. On 5 May 2016 Barclays sold 12.2% of the Group’s interest in BAGL resulting in a transfer to non-controlling interests of £601m. Following this sale, Barclays’ interest represents 50.1% of BAGL’s share capital. The Barclays Africa disposal group includes all assets and liabilities of BAGL and its subsidiaries as well as Group balances associated with Africa Banking that are expected to form part of the sale. No write down is recognised under IFRS 5 as at 30 June 2016.

The deferred tax asset of £4,193m (2015: £4,495m) mainly relates to amounts in the US and UK.

The tax charge for H116 was £715m (2015: £852m), representing an effective tax rate of 34.7% (2015: 32.7%). The effective tax rate is higher than the UK statutory tax rate of 20% (2015: 20.25%) primarily due to profits outside the UK taxed at higher local statutory tax rates, provisions for UK customer redress being non-deductible for tax purposes, the introduction of a new tax surcharge of 8% that applies to banks’ UK profits, non-deductible expenses and losses as well as non-creditable taxes. These factors, which have each increased the effective tax rate, are partially offset by the impact of non-taxable gains and income.

Equity attributable to non-controlling interest increased by £512m to £6,566m in June 2016 driven by the sale of 12.2% of the Group’s stake in BAGL increasing the non-controlling interest from 37.6% to 49.9% and the appreciation of ZAR against GBP. These increases were partially offset by the redemption of preference shares issued by Barclays Bank PLC.

Derivative assets increased by £117bn to £445bn primarily due to interest rate derivatives reflecting a decrease in major forward interest rates and foreign exchange derivatives due to appreciation of major currencies against GBP.

The IFRS netting posted against derivative assets and liabilities was £18bn (2015: £8bn). Derivative asset exposures would be £405bn (2015: £295bn) lower than reported under IFRS if netting were permitted for assets and liabilities with the same counterparty or for which the Group holds cash collateral of £50bn (2015: £35bn). Similarly, derivative liabilities would be £413bn (2015: £295bn) lower reflecting counterparty netting and cash collateral placed of £58bn (2015: £35bn). In addition, non-cash collateral of £9bn (2015: £7bn) was held in respect of derivative assets and £7bn (2015: £5bn) was placed in respect of derivative liabilities. Collateral amounts are limited to net on balance sheet exposure so as to not include over-collateralisation.

Of the £50bn cash collateral held, £32bn (2015: £28bn) was included in deposits from banks and £18bn (2015: £7bn) was included in customer accounts. Of the £58bn cash collateral placed, £19bn (2015: £13bn) was included in loans and advances to banks and £39bn (2015: £22bn) was included in loans and advances to customers.

11. Fair value of assets and liabilities

This section should be read in conjunction with Note 18 Fair value of assets and liabilities of the 2015 Annual Report, which provides more detail about accounting policies adopted, valuation methodologies used in calculating fair value and the valuation control framework which governs oversight of valuations. There have been no changes in the accounting policies adopted or the valuation methodologies used.

Assets and liabilities reclassified between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfers during the period (2015: £537m assets and £801m liabilities of equity and foreign exchange derivatives from Level 1 to Level 2).

Level 3 movement analysis

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

Assets and liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale are not included as these are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

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

During the period, £8.1bn of non-asset backed loans moved out of fair value Level 3 assets. This was due to the restructure of LOBO terms on the ESHLA loans. The new restructured loans will be measured on an amortised cost basis.

Valuation techniques and sensitivity analysis

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

Current year valuation and sensitivity methodologies are consistent with those described within Note 18 Fair value of assets and liabilities in the 2015 Annual Report.

Significant unobservable inputs

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities recognised at fair value and classified as Level 3 are consistent with Note 18 Fair value of assets and liabilities in the 2015 Annual Report. The description of the significant unobservable inputs and the sensitivity of fair value measurement of the instruments categorised as Level 3 assets or liabilities to increases in significant unobservable inputs is also found in Note 18 Fair value of assets and liabilities of the 2015 Annual Report. Assets and liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale are not included as these are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Portfolio exemption

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

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

The amount that has yet to be recognised in income that relates to the difference between the transaction price (the fair value at initial recognition) and the amount that would have arisen had valuation models using unobservable inputs been used on initial recognition, less amounts subsequently recognised, is £96m (2015: £101m). There are no additions (2015: £35m) and £5m (2015: £31m) of amortisation and releases.

Third party credit enhancements

Structured and brokered certificates of deposit issued by Barclays Group are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States. The FDIC is funded by premiums that Barclays and other banks pay for deposit insurance coverage. The carrying value of these issued certificates of deposit that are designated under the IAS 39 fair value option includes this third party credit enhancement. The on balance sheet value of these brokered certificates of deposit amounted to £4,017m (2015: £3,729m).

Payment Protection Insurance Redress

As at 30 June 2016, Barclays had recognised cumulative provisions totalling £7.8bn (31 December 2015: £7.4bn) against the cost of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) redress and associated processing costs with utilisation of £5.9bn (31 December 2015: £5.3bn), leaving a residual provision of £2.0bn (31 December 2015: £2.1bn).

In the half year ended to 30 June 2016, 1.7m (31 December 2015: 1.6m) customer initiated claims1 had been received and processed. The volume of claims received during H1 2016 decreased 4%2 from H2 2015 (increased by 1% from H1 2015). This rate of decline was slower than previously recorded but in line with expectations.

An additional charge of £0.4bn has been recognised to reflect an updated estimate of cost of PPI redress, primarily relating to ongoing remediation programmes, including those managed by third parties relating to a portfolio previously sold.

As at 30 June 2016, the total provision of £2bn represents Barclays’ best estimate of expected PPI redress. However, it is possible the eventual outcome may differ from the current estimate. We will continue to review the adequacy of provision levels in respect of the complaints deadline proposed by the FCA, which is still pending confirmation.

The provision is calculated using a number of key assumptions which continue to involve significant management judgement and modelling:

 

 

Customer initiated claim volumes – claims received but not yet processed plus an estimate of future claims initiated by customers where the volume is anticipated to decline over time

 

 

Proactive response rate – volume of claims in response to proactive mailing

 

 

Uphold rate – the percentage of claims that are upheld as being valid upon review

 

 

Average claim redress – the expected average payment to customers for upheld claims based on the type and age of the policy/policies

 

 

Processing cost per claim – the cost to Barclays of assessing and processing each valid claim

These assumptions remain subjective, in particular due to the uncertainty associated with future claims levels, which include complaints driven by claims management company (CMC) activity.

The following table details by key assumption, actual data through to 30 June 2016, forecast assumptions used in the provision calculation and a sensitivity analysis illustrating the impact on the provision if the future expected assumptions prove too high or too low.

 

 

 

1 Total claims received to date, including those received via CMCs but excluding those for which no PPI policy exists and excluding responses to proactive mailing.
2 Gross volumes received.

Customer redress

Customer redress provisions comprise the estimated cost of making redress payments to customers, clients and counterparties for losses or damages associated with inappropriate judgement in the execution of our business activities. Provisions for other customer redress include £282m (2015: £290m) in respect of historic pricing practices associated with certain Foreign Exchange transactions for certain customers between 2005 and 2012, £118m (2015: £282m) in respect of Packaged Bank Accounts, and smaller provisions across the retail and corporate businesses.

14.    Retirement benefits

As at 30 June 2016, the Group’s IAS19 pension deficit across all schemes was £0.3bn (2015: £0.4bn surplus). The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had a surplus of £0.1bn (2015: £0.8bn surplus).

The movement for the UKRF is driven by an increase in the liability values, mainly due to a decrease in the discount rate to 2.79%pa (2015: 3.82%pa); partially offset by an increase in asset values driven by higher asset performance relative to the discount rate.

The latest triennial actuarial valuation of the UKRF was carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2013. This was completed in 2014 and showed a deficit of £3.6bn and a funding level of 87.4%. The Bank and the Trustee agreed a scheme-specific funding target, statement of funding principles, a schedule of contributions and a recovery plan to eliminate the deficit of the UKRF. The main differences between the funding and IAS 19 assumptions are a more prudent longevity assumption for funding and a different approach to setting the discount rate.

The recovery plan to eliminate the deficit will result in the Bank paying deficit contributions to the Fund until 2021. Deficit contributions of £300m were payable in 2015, and also in 2016. Further deficit contributions of £740m pa are payable during 2017 to 2021. Up to £500m of the 2021 deficit contributions are payable in 2017 depending on the deficit level at that time. These deficit contributions are in addition to the regular contributions to meet the Group’s share of the cost of benefits accruing over each year.

In non-valuation years, the Scheme Actuary prepares an actuarial annual update of the funding position. The latest annual update was carried out as at 30 September 2015 and showed a deficit of £6.0bn (30 September 2014: £4.6bn) and a funding level of 82.7% (30 September 2014: 85.4%). The increase in funding deficit over the year to 30 September 2015 can be mainly attributed to the fall in real gilt yields.

15.    Called up share capital

Called up share capital comprises 16,913m (2015: 16,805m) ordinary shares of 25p each. The increase was largely due to the issuance of shares under employee share schemes and the Barclays PLC Scrip Dividend Programme.

16.    Other equity instruments

Other equity instruments of £5,314m (2015: £5,305m) include Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities issued by Barclays Bank PLC.

The AT1 securities are perpetual securities with no fixed maturity and are structured to qualify as AT1 instruments under CRD IV.

Currency translation reserve

As at 30 June 2016 there was a credit balance of £1,699m (2015: £623m debit) in the currency translation reserve. The £2,322m credit movement principally reflected the appreciation of EUR and USD against GBP. Of this movement, £534m related to discontinued operations. This was driven by a £343m transfer to Non-controlling interest, associated with the 12.2% sale of the Group’s interest in BAGL, as well as the appreciation of ZAR against GBP.

During the period a £54m net loss (2015: £87m net loss) from recycling of the currency translation reserve was recognised in the Income Statement. This principally related to the disposal of the Portuguese retail and insurance businesses, and a capital repatriation from the Brazilian business.

Available for sale reserve

As at 30 June 2016 there was a credit balance of £7m (2015: £317m) in the available for sale reserve. The decrease of £310m was largely driven by £3,286m losses from changes in fair value on Government Bonds offset by £2,836m due to fair value hedging, £777m of net gains transferred to net profit and a tax charge of £29m.

Cash flow hedging reserve

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

As at 30 June 2016 there was a credit balance of £3,051m (2015: £1,261m credit) in the cash flow hedging reserve. The increase of £1,790m principally reflected a £2,622m increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes as interest rate forward curves decreased, £154m loss transferred to net profit, partially offset by a tax charge of £675m.

Other reserves and treasury shares

As at 30 June 2016, there was a credit balance of £1,011m (2015: £1,011m credit) in other reserves relating to the excess repurchase price paid over nominal of redeemed ordinary and preference shares issues by the group.

As at 30 June 2016, there was a debit balance of £73m (2015: £68m debit) in other reserves relating to treasury shares.

During the period £140m (2015: £602m) net purchases of treasury shares were made, principally reflecting the increase in shares held for the purposes of employee share schemes, and £135m (2015: £618m) was transferred to retained earnings reflecting the vesting of deferred share based payments.

19.      Legal, competition and regulatory matters

Barclays PLC (BPLC), Barclays Bank PLC (BBPLC) and the Group face legal, competition and regulatory challenges, many of which are beyond our control. The extent of the impact on BPLC, BBPLC and the Group of these matters cannot always be predicted but may materially impact our operations, financial results, condition and prospects. Matters arising from a set of similar circumstances can give rise to either a contingent liability or a provision, or both, depending on the relevant facts and circumstances. The Group has not disclosed an estimate of the potential financial effect on the Group of contingent liabilities where it is not currently practicable to do so.

Investigations into certain agreements and Civil Action

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has alleged that BPLC and BBPLC breached their disclosure obligations in connection with two advisory services agreements entered into by BBPLC. The FCA has imposed a £50m fine. BPLC and BBPLC are contesting the findings. The United Kingdom (UK) Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the United States (US) Department of Justice (DOJ) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are also investigating these agreements.

Background Information

The FCA has investigated certain agreements, including two advisory services agreements entered into by BBPLC with Qatar Holding LLC (Qatar Holding) in June and October 2008 respectively, and whether these may have related to BPLC’s capital raisings in June and November 2008. The FCA issued warning notices (Warning Notices) against BPLC and BBPLC in September 2013.

The existence of the advisory services agreement entered into in June 2008 was disclosed but the entry into the advisory services agreement in October 2008 and the fees payable under both agreements, which amount to a total of £322m payable over a period of five years, were not disclosed in the announcements or public documents relating to the capital raisings in June and November 2008. While the Warning Notices consider that BPLC and BBPLC believed at the time that there should be at least some unspecified and undetermined value to be derived from the agreements, they state that the primary purpose of the agreements was not to obtain advisory services but to make additional payments, which would not be disclosed, for the Qatari participation in the capital raisings.

The Warning Notices conclude that BPLC and BBPLC were in breach of certain disclosure-related listing rules and BPLC was also in breach of Listing Principle 3 (the requirement to act with integrity towards holders and potential holders of the Company’s shares). In this regard, the FCA considers that BPLC and BBPLC acted recklessly. The financial penalty in the Warning Notices against the Group is £50m. BPLC and BBPLC continue to contest the findings.

The FCA has agreed that the FCA enforcement process be stayed pending progress in the SFO’s investigation into the agreements referred to above, in respect of which the Group has received and has continued to respond to requests for further information.

In January 2016, PCP Capital Partners LLP and PCP International Finance Limited (PCP) served a claim on BBPLC seeking damages of £721.4m plus interest and costs for fraudulent misrepresentation and deceit, arising from alleged statements made by BBPLC to PCP in relation to the terms on which securities were to be issued to investors, including PCP, in the November 2008 capital raising. BBPLC is defending the claim.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period. PCP has made a claim against BBPLC totalling £721.4m plus interest and costs. This amount does not necessarily reflect BBPLC’s potential financial exposure if a ruling were to be made against it.

Investigations into certain business relationships

The DOJ and SEC are undertaking an investigation into whether the Group’s relationships with third parties who assist BPLC to win or retain business are compliant with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Certain regulators in other jurisdictions have also been briefed on the investigations. Separately, the Group is cooperating with the DOJ and SEC in relation to an investigation into certain of its hiring practices in Asia and elsewhere and is keeping certain regulators in other jurisdictions informed.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Alternative Trading Systems and High-Frequency Trading

The SEC, the New York State Attorney General (NYAG) and regulators in certain other jurisdictions have been investigating a range of issues associated with alternative trading systems (ATSs), including dark pools, and the activities of high-frequency traders.

Background Information

In June 2014, the NYAG filed a complaint (NYAG Complaint) against BPLC and Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging, amongst other things, that BPLC and BCI engaged in fraud and deceptive practices in connection with LX, the Group’s SEC-registered ATS. On 1 February 2016, Barclays reached separate settlement agreements with each of the SEC and the NYAG to resolve those agencies’ claims against BPLC and BCI relating to the operation of LX for $35m each.

Civil complaints have also been filed in New York Federal Court on behalf of a putative class of plaintiffs against BPLC and BCI and others generally alleging that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by participating in a scheme in which high-frequency trading firms were given informational and other advantages so that they could manipulate the US securities market to the plaintiffs’ detriment. These complaints were consolidated (Trader Class Action), and in August 2015 the Court granted Barclays’ motion to dismiss the Trader Class Action in its entirety. The plaintiffs have chosen not to appeal.

BPLC and BCI have also been named in a purported class action by an institutional investor client under California law based on allegations similar to those in the NYAG Complaint (California Class Action). This California Class Action was consolidated with the Trader Class Action for pre-trial purposes and was also dismissed in August 2015. The plaintiffs were permitted to file an amended complaint following this dismissal and the matter was transferred back to federal court in California.

Following the filing of the NYAG Complaint, BPLC and BCI were also named in a shareholder securities class action along with certain of its former CEOs, and its current and a former CFO, as well as an employee in Equities Electronic Trading (Shareholder Class Action). The plaintiffs claim that investors suffered damages when their investments in Barclays American Depository Receipts declined in value as a result of the allegations in the NYAG Complaint. BPLC and BCI filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which the court granted in part and denied in part. In February 2016, the court certified the action as a class action, which Barclays has appealed. BPLC and BCI continue to defend against both the California Class Action and the Shareholder Class Action.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

The remaining complaints seek unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

FERC

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has filed a civil action against BBPLC and certain of its former traders in the US District Court in California seeking to collect on an order assessing a $435m civil penalty and the disgorgement of $34.9m of profits, plus interest, in connection with allegations that BBPLC manipulated the electricity markets in and around California. The US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) has informed BBPLC that it is looking into the same conduct at issue in the FERC matter, and a civil class action complaint was filed in the US District Court for the SDNY against BBPLC asserting antitrust allegations that mirror those raised in the civil suit filed by FERC.

Background Information

In October 2012, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalties (Order and Notice) against BBPLC and four of its former traders in relation to their power trading in the western US. In the Order and Notice, FERC asserted that BBPLC and its former traders violated FERC’s Anti-Manipulation Rule by manipulating the electricity markets in and around California from November 2006 to December 2008, and proposed civil penalties and profit disgorgement to be paid by BBPLC.

In September 2013, the criminal division of the US Attorney’s Office in SDNY advised BBPLC that it is looking at the same conduct at issue in the FERC matter.

In October 2013, FERC filed a civil action against BBPLC and its former traders in the US District Court in California seeking to collect the $435m civil penalty and disgorgement of $34.9m of profits, plus interest.

In June 2015, a civil class action complaint was filed in the US District Court for the SDNY against BBPLC by Merced Irrigation District, a California utility company, asserting antitrust allegations in connection with BBPLC’s purported

manipulation of the electricity markets in and around California. The allegations mirror those raised in the civil suit filed by FERC against BBPLC currently pending in the US District Court in California.

In October 2015, the US District Court in California ordered that it would bifurcate its assessment of liabilities and penalties from its assessment of disgorgement. FERC has filed and BBPLC is opposing a brief seeking summary affirmance of the penalty assessment. The court has indicated that it will either affirm the penalty assessment, or require further evidence to determine this issue.

In December 2015, BBPLC filed a motion to dismiss the civil class action for failure to state a claim, which the SDNY in February 2016 granted in part and denied in part.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

FERC has made claims against BBPLC and certain of its former traders totalling $469.9m, plus interest, for civil penalties and profit disgorgement. The civil class action complaint refers to damages of $139.3m. These amounts do not necessarily reflect BBPLC’s potential financial exposure if a ruling were to be made against it in either action.

Investigations into LIBOR and other Benchmarks

Regulators and law enforcement agencies, including certain competition authorities, from a number of governments have been conducting investigations relating to BBPLC’s involvement in manipulating certain financial benchmarks, such as LIBOR and EURIBOR. BBPLC, BPLC and BCI have reached settlements with the relevant law enforcement agency or regulator in certain of the investigations, but others, including the investigations by certain US State Attorneys General, the SFO and the prosecutors’ office in Trani, Italy and the Swiss Competition Commission remain pending.

Background Information

In June 2012, BBPLC announced that it had reached settlements with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) (as predecessor to the FCA), the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the DOJ Fraud Section (DOJ-FS) in relation to their investigations concerning certain benchmark interest rate submissions, and BBPLC agreed to pay total penalties of £290m. The settlement with the DOJ-FS was made by entry into a Non-Prosecution Agreement which has now expired. In addition, BBPLC was granted conditional leniency from the DOJ Antitrust Division (DOJ-AD) in connection with potential US antitrust law violations with respect to financial instruments that reference EURIBOR. The DOJ granted final leniency to BBPLC in May 2016.

Investigations by the US State Attorneys General

Following the settlements announced in June 2012, a group of US State Attorneys General (SAGs) commenced its own investigations into LIBOR, EURIBOR and the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate. The Group has cooperated with the investigation throughout and is in advanced discussions with the SAGs about a potential resolution.

Investigation by the SFO

In July 2012, the SFO announced that it had decided to investigate the LIBOR matter, in respect of which BBPLC has received and continues to respond to requests for information. The SFO’s investigation, including in respect of BBPLC, continues.

For a discussion of civil litigation arising in connection with these investigations see ‘LIBOR and other Benchmarks Civil Actions’.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

LIBOR and other Benchmark Civil Actions

Following the settlements of the investigations referred to above in ‘Investigations into LIBOR and other Benchmarks’, a number of individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group in relation to LIBOR and/or other benchmarks. While several of such cases have been dismissed and certain have settled subject to approval from the court (and in the case of class actions, the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims), other actions remain pending and their ultimate impact is unclear.

Background Information

A number of individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to manipulation of LIBOR and/or other benchmark rates.

USD LIBOR Cases in MDL Court

The majority of the USD LIBOR cases, which have been filed in various US jurisdictions, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes before a single judge in the SDNY (MDL Court).

The complaints are substantially similar and allege, amongst other things, that BBPLC and the other banks individually and collectively violated provisions of the US Sherman Antitrust Act (Antitrust Act), the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), the US Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and various state laws by manipulating USD LIBOR rates.

The lawsuits seek unspecified damages with the exception of five lawsuits, in which the plaintiffs are seeking a combined total in excess of $1.25bn in actual damages against all defendants, including BBPLC, plus punitive damages. Some of the lawsuits also seek trebling of damages under the Antitrust Act and RICO.

The proposed class actions purported to be brought on behalf of (amongst others) plaintiffs that (i) engaged in USD LIBOR-linked over-the-counter transactions (OTC Class); (ii) purchased USD LIBOR-linked financial instruments on an exchange (Exchange-Based Class); (iii) purchased USD LIBOR-linked debt securities (Debt Securities Class); (iv) purchased adjustable-rate mortgages linked to USD LIBOR (Homeowner Class); or (v) issued loans linked to USD LIBOR (Lender Class).

In August 2012 the MDL Court stayed all newly filed proposed class actions and individual actions (Stayed Actions). In March 2013, August 2013 and June 2014, the MDL Court issued a series of decisions effectively dismissing the majority of claims against BBPLC and other panel bank defendants in the three lead proposed class actions (Lead Class Actions) and three lead individual actions (Lead Individual Actions).

In July 2014, the MDL Court allowed the Stayed Actions to proceed and a number of plaintiffs filed amended complaints. The MDL Court subsequently dismissed a number of Lead Individual Action claims and all Homeowner Class and Lender Class claims. In May 2016, the appeal court reversed the MDL Court’s holding that plaintiffs in the Lead Class Actions, including the Debt Securities Class, and Lead Individual Actions had not suffered an injury under the Antitrust Act, and remanded the antitrust claims for the MDL Court’s further consideration of those claims and related issues.

In December 2014, the MDL Court granted preliminary approval for the settlement of the Exchange-Based Class claims for $20m. Final approval of the settlement is awaiting plaintiff’s submission of a plan for allocation of the settlement proceeds acceptable to the MDL Court.

In November 2015, the OTC Class claims were settled for $120m. The settlement is subject to final court approval.

EURIBOR Case in the SDNY

In February 2013, a EURIBOR-related class action was filed against BPLC, BBPLC, BCI and other EURIBOR panel banks in the SDNY. The plaintiffs asserted antitrust, CEA, RICO, and unjust enrichment claims relating to EURIBOR manipulation. In October 2015, the class action was settled for $94m subject to court approval. The settlement has been preliminarily approved by the court but remains subject to final approval.

Securities Fraud Case in the SDNY

BPLC, BBPLC and BCI were also named as defendants along with four former officers and directors of BBPLC in a securities class action in the SDNY in connection with BBPLC’s role as a contributor panel bank to LIBOR. In November 2015, the class action was settled for $14m with final court approval granted in March 2016.

Additional USD LIBOR Case in the SDNY

An additional individual action was commenced in February 2013 in the SDNY against BBPLC and other panel bank defendants. The plaintiff alleged that the panel bank defendants conspired to increase USD LIBOR, which caused the value of bonds pledged as collateral for a loan to decrease, ultimately resulting in the sale of the bonds at a low point in the market. In April 2015, the court dismissed the action. The plaintiff’s motion to file a further amended complaint is pending.

Sterling LIBOR Case in SDNY

In May 2015, a putative class action was commenced in the SDNY against BBPLC and other Sterling LIBOR panel banks by a plaintiff involved in exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives that were linked to Sterling LIBOR. The complaint alleges, among other things, that BBPLC and other panel banks manipulated the Sterling LIBOR rate between 2005 and 2010 and, in so doing, committed CEA, Antitrust Act, and RICO violations. In early 2016, this class action was consolidated with an additional putative class action making similar allegations against BBPLC and BCI and other Sterling LIBOR panel banks. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss.

Complaint in the US District Court for the Central District of California

In July 2012, a purported class action complaint in the US District Court for the Central District of California was amended to include allegations related to USD LIBOR and names BBPLC as a defendant. The amended complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class that includes holders of adjustable rate mortgages linked to USD LIBOR. In January 2015, the court granted BBPLC’s motion for summary judgement and dismissed all of the remaining claims against BBPLC. The plaintiff has appealed the decision.

Japanese Yen LIBOR Cases in SDNY

A class action was commenced in April 2012 in the SDNY against BBPLC and other Japanese Yen LIBOR panel banks by a plaintiff involved in exchange-traded derivatives. The complaint also names members of the Japanese Bankers Association’s Euroyen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (Euroyen TIBOR) panel, of which BBPLC is not a member. The complaint alleges, amongst other things, manipulation of the Euroyen TIBOR and Yen LIBOR rates and breaches of the CEA and Antitrust Act between 2006 and 2010. In March 2014, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s antitrust claims in full, but sustained the plaintiff’s CEA claims, which are pending.

In July 2015, a second class action concerning Yen LIBOR was filed in the SDNY against BPLC, BBPLC and BCI. The complaint alleges breaches of the Antitrust Act and RICO between 2006 and 2010 based on factual allegations that are substantially similar to those in the April 2012 class action. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss.

SIBOR/SOR Case in the SDNY

A class action was commenced in July 2016 in the SDNY against BPLC, BBPLC, BCI, and other defendants, alleging manipulation of the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and Singapore Swap Offer Rate (SOR). The complaint alleges, amongst other things, manipulation of the SIBOR and SOR rates and breaches of the Antitrust Act and RICO between 2007 and 2011. Barclays expects to file a motion to dismiss the complaint.

Non-US Benchmarks Cases

In addition to US actions, legal proceedings have been brought or threatened against the Group in connection with alleged manipulation of LIBOR and EURIBOR in a number of jurisdictions. The number of such proceedings in non-US jurisdictions, the benchmarks to which they relate, and the jurisdictions in which they may be brought have increased over time.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Foreign Exchange Investigations

Various regulatory and enforcement authorities have been investigating a range of issues associated with Foreign Exchange sales and trading, including electronic trading. Certain of these investigations involve multiple market participants in various countries. The Group has reached settlements with the CFTC, the DOJ, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) and the FCA (together, the Resolving Authorities) with respect to certain of these investigations as further described below. Investigations by the European Commission (Commission), the Administrative Council for Economic Defence in Brazil and the South African Competition Commission, amongst others, also remain pending.

Background Information

In 2015, the Group reached settlements with the Resolving Authorities in relation to investigations into certain sales and trading practices in the Foreign Exchange market. In connection with these settlements, the Group agreed to pay total penalties of approximately $2.38bn, and to undertake certain remedial actions.

Under the plea agreement with the DOJ, in addition to a criminal fine, BPLC agreed to a term of probation of three years from the date of the final judgement in respect of the plea agreement during which BPLC must, amongst other things, (i) commit no crime whatsoever in violation of the federal laws of the United States, (ii) implement and continue to implement a compliance program designed to prevent and detect the conduct that gave rise to the plea agreement and (iii) strengthen its compliance and internal controls as required by relevant regulatory or enforcement agencies. The agreement with DOJ is subject to final approval by the court. The Group also continues to provide relevant information to certain of the Resolving Authorities.

BBPLC and BBPLC’s New York branch were also required to continue to engage the independent monitor previously selected by the NYDFS to conduct a comprehensive review of certain compliance programs, policies, and procedures. In February 2016, Barclays terminated its engagement with the monitor with the agreement of the NYDFS.

The full text of the DOJ plea agreement, the orders of the CFTC, NYDFS and Federal Reserve, and the Final Notice issued by the FCA related to the settlements referred to above are publicly available on the Resolving Authorities’ respective websites.

The settlements reached in May 2015 did not encompass investigations of electronic trading in the Foreign Exchange market. In November 2015, BBPLC announced that it had reached a settlement with the NYDFS in respect of its investigation into BBPLC and BBPLC’s New York branch electronic trading of Foreign Exchange and Foreign Exchange trading systems in the period between 2009 to 2014, pursuant to which the NYDFS imposed a civil monetary penalty of $150m, primarily for certain internal systems and controls failures.

The FCA is also investigating historic pricing practices by BBPLC associated with certain Foreign Exchange transactions for certain customers between 2005 and 2012. BBPLC is cooperating with the FCA regarding the proposed terms and timing for appropriate customer redress.

For a discussion of civil litigation arising in connection with these investigations see ‘Civil Actions in Respect of Foreign Exchange Trading’ below.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

A provision of £290m in redress costs for certain customers was recognised in Q3 2015 in relation to the FCA investigation into historic pricing practices by BBPLC associated with certain Foreign Exchange transactions referred to above. It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of any further financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect they might have on the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Civil Actions in respect of Foreign Exchange

Consolidated FX Action

Beginning in November 2013, a number of civil actions were filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs alleging manipulation of Foreign Exchange markets under the Antitrust Act and New York state law and naming several international banks as defendants, including BBPLC. In February 2014, the SDNY combined all then-pending actions alleging a class of US persons in a single consolidated action (Consolidated FX Action). In September 2015, BBPLC and BCI settled the Consolidated FX Action for $384m. The settlement itself is subject to final court approval and the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

ERISA FX Action

Since February 2015, several other civil actions have been filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs purporting to allege different legal theories of injury (other than those alleged in the Consolidated FX Action) related to alleged manipulation of Foreign Exchange rates and naming several international banks as defendants, including BPLC, BBPLC and BCI. One such consolidated action asserts claims under the US Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) statute (ERISA Claims) and includes allegations of conduct that are duplicative of allegations in the other cases, as well as additional allegations about ERISA plans. The Court has ruled that the ERISA allegations concerning collusive manipulation of FX rates are covered by the settlement agreement in the Consolidated FX Action, but has not ruled on whether allegations characterised by the ERISA plaintiffs as non-collusive manipulation of FX rates are likewise covered by the agreement. Barclays will move to stay the claims characterised by the ERISA plaintiffs as non-collusive on grounds that they are covered by the agreement and also to dismiss these claims as a matter of law.

Retail Basis Action

Another action was filed in the Northern District of California (and subsequently transferred to the SDNY) against several international banks, including BPLC and BCI, on behalf of a putative class of individuals that exchanged currencies on a retail basis at bank branches (Retail Basis Claims). The Court has ruled that the Retail Basis Claims are not covered by the settlement agreement in the consolidated FX Action. Barclays will move to dismiss the Retail Basis Claims as a matter of law.

Last Look Actions

In addition, in November 2015 and December 2015, two additional civil actions were filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs alleging injuries based on Barclays’ purported improper rejection of customer trades through Barclays Last Look system. In February 2016, BBPLC and BCI settled one of the actions for $50m on a class-wide basis subject to court approval. (The other action was voluntarily dismissed.) Class members have the right to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

Canadian FX Action

Similar civil actions to the Consolidated FX Action have been filed in Canadian courts on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs containing similar factual allegations of manipulation of Foreign Exchange rates as in the US actions and of damages resulting from such manipulation in violation of Canadian law.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period is currently uncertain.

ISDAFIX Investigation

Regulators and law enforcement agencies, including the CFTC, have conducted separate investigations into historical practices with respect to ISDAFIX, amongst other benchmarks.

In May 2015, the CFTC entered into a settlement order with BPLC, BBPLC and BCI pursuant to which BPLC, BBPLC and BCI paid a civil monetary penalty of $115m in connection with the CFTC’s industry-wide investigation into the setting of the US Dollar ISDAFIX benchmark and agreed to undertake certain remediation measures to the extent not already undertaken.

Investigations by other regulators and law enforcement agencies remain pending. For a discussion of civil litigation arising in connection with these investigations, see ‘Civil Actions in respect of ISDAFIX’ below.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of any further financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect they might have on the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Civil Action in respect of ISDAFIX

Beginning in September 2014, a number of ISDAFIX related civil actions were filed in the SDNY on behalf of a proposed class of plaintiffs, alleging that BBPLC, a number of other banks and one broker, violated the Antitrust Act and several state laws by engaging in a conspiracy to manipulate the USD ISDAFIX. Those actions were consolidated in February 2015.

In April 2016, BBPLC and BCI entered into a settlement agreement with plaintiffs to resolve the consolidated action for $30m, fully resolving all ISDAFIX-related claims that were or could have been brought by the class. In May 2016, the court preliminarily approved the settlement, which remains subject to final approval and to the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of any further financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Precious Metals Investigation

BBPLC has been providing information to the DOJ and other authorities in connection with investigations into precious metals and precious metals-based financial instruments.

For a discussion of civil litigation arising in connection with these investigations see ‘Civil Actions in respect of the Gold Fix’ below.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Civil Actions in respect of the Gold Fix

Since March 2014, a number of civil complaints have been filed in US Federal Courts, each on behalf of a proposed class of plaintiffs, alleging that BBPLC and other members of The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. manipulated the prices of gold and gold derivative contracts in violation of the CEA, the Antitrust Act, and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. All of the complaints have been transferred to the SDNY and consolidated for pretrial purposes. In April 2015, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the claims.

A similar civil action has been filed in Canadian courts on behalf of a proposed class of plaintiffs containing similar factual allegations of the manipulation of the prices of gold in violation of Canadian law.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

US Residential and Commercial Mortgage-related Activity and Litigation

The Group’s activities within the US residential mortgage sector during the period from 2005 through 2008 included:

 

 

sponsoring and underwriting of approximately $39bn of private-label securitisations;

 

 

economic underwriting exposure of approximately $34bn for other private-label securitisations;

 

 

sales of approximately $0.2bn of loans to government sponsored enterprises (GSEs);

 

 

sales of approximately $3bn of loans to others; and

 

 

sales of approximately $19.4bn of loans (net of approximately $500m of loans sold during this period and subsequently repurchased) that were originated and sold to third parties by mortgage originator affiliates of an entity that the Group acquired in 2007 (Acquired Subsidiary).

Throughout this time period affiliates of the Group engaged in secondary market trading of US residential mortgaged-backed securities (RMBS) and US commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and such trading activity continues today.

In connection with its loan sales and certain private-label securitisations, on 30 June 2016, the Group had unresolved repurchase requests relating to loans with a principal balance of approximately $2.2bn at the time they were sold, and civil actions have been commenced by various parties alleging that the Group must repurchase a substantial number of such loans.

In addition, the Group is party to a lawsuit filed by a purchaser of RMBS asserting statutory and/or common law claims. The current outstanding face amount of RMBS related to these pending claims against the Group as of 30 June 2016 was approximately $0.2bn.

Regulatory and governmental authorities, including amongst others, the DOJ, SEC, Special Inspector General for the US Troubled Asset Relief Program, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut and the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York have initiated wide-ranging investigations into market practices involving mortgage-backed securities, and the Group is cooperating with those investigations.

RMBS Repurchase Requests

Background Information

The Group was the sole provider of various loan-level representations and warranties (R&Ws) with respect to:

 

 

approximately $5bn of Group sponsored securitisations;

 

 

approximately $0.2bn of sales of loans to GSEs; and

 

 

approximately $3bn of loans sold to others.

In addition, the Acquired Subsidiary provided R&Ws on all of the $19.4bn of loans it sold to third parties.

R&Ws on the remaining Group sponsored securitisations were primarily provided by third-party originators directly to the securitisation trusts with a Group subsidiary, such as the depositor for the securitisation, providing more limited R&Ws. There are no stated expiration provisions applicable to most R&Ws made by the Group, the Acquired Subsidiary or these third parties.

Under certain circumstances, the Group and/or the Acquired Subsidiary may be required to repurchase the related loans or make other payments related to such loans if the R&Ws are breached.

The unresolved repurchase requests received on or before 30 June 2016 associated with all R&Ws made by the Group or the Acquired Subsidiary on loans sold to GSEs and others and private-label activities had an original unpaid principal balance of approximately $2.2bn at the time of such sale.

The unresolved repurchase requests discussed above relate to civil actions that have been commenced by the trustees for certain RMBS securitisations in which the trustees allege that the Group and/or the Acquired Subsidiary must repurchase loans that violated the operative R&Ws. Such trustees and other parties making repurchase requests have also alleged that the operative R&Ws may have been violated with respect to a greater (but unspecified) amount of loans than the amount of loans previously stated in specific repurchase requests made by such trustees. Cumulative realised losses reported at 30 June 2016 on loans covered by R&Ws made by the Group or the Acquired Subsidiary are approximately $1.3bn. All of the litigation involving repurchase requests remain at early stages.

In addition, the Acquired Subsidiary is subject to a more advanced civil action seeking, among other things, indemnification for losses allegedly suffered by a loan purchaser as a result of alleged breaches of R&Ws provided by the Acquired Subsidiary in connection with loan sales to the purchaser during the period 1997 to 2007. This litigation is ongoing.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

RMBS Securities Claims

Background Information

As a result of some of the RMBS activities described above, the Group has been party to a number of lawsuits filed by purchasers of RMBS sponsored and/or underwritten by the Group between 2005 and 2008. As a general matter, these lawsuits alleged, among other things, that the RMBS offering materials allegedly relied on by such purchasers contained materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions and generally demanded rescission and recovery of the consideration paid for the RMBS and recovery of monetary losses arising out of their ownership. The Group has resolved a number of these claims, and only one action currently remains pending.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Approximately $0.2bn of the original face amount of RMBS related to the remaining pending action was outstanding as at 30 June 2016. There were virtually no cumulative realised losses reported on these RMBS as at 30 June 2016. The Group does not expect that, if it were to lose the remaining pending action, any such loss to be material. The Group may be entitled to indemnification for a portion of applicable losses.

Mortgage-related Investigations

In addition to the RMBS Repurchase Requests and RMBS Securities Claims, numerous regulatory and governmental authorities have been investigating various aspects of the mortgage-related business. The Group continues to respond to requests from the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York relating to the RMBS Working Group of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (RMBS Working Group), which was formed to investigate pre-financial crisis mortgage-related misconduct. In connection with several of the investigations by members of the RMBS Working Group, a number of financial institutions have entered into settlements involving substantial monetary payments resolving claims related to the underwriting, securitisation and sale of residential mortgage-backed securities. The Group has also received requests for information and subpoenas from the SEC, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut and Special Inspector General for the US Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) related to trading practices in the secondary market for both RMBS and CMBS. Certain of the investigations are at an advanced stage.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

However, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period. The cost of resolving these investigations could individually or in aggregate prove to be substantial.

American Depositary Shares

BPLC, BBPLC and various former members of BPLC’s Board of Directors have been named as defendants in a securities class action consolidated in the SDNY alleging misstatements and omissions in offering documents for certain American Depositary Shares issued by BBPLC in April 2008 with an original face amount of approximately $2.5 billion (the April 2008 Offering).

Background Information

The plaintiffs have asserted claims under the Securities Act of 1933, alleging that the offering documents for the April 2008 Offering contained misstatements and omissions concerning (amongst other things) BBPLC’s portfolio of mortgage-related (including US subprime-related) securities, BBPLC’s exposure to mortgage and credit market risk, and BBPLC’s financial condition. The plaintiffs have not specifically alleged the amount of their damages.

In June 2016, the SDNY certified the action as a class action.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the action described on the Group or what effect that it might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

BDC Finance L.L.C.

BDC Finance L.L.C. (BDC) filed a complaint against BBPLC in the NY Supreme Court alleging breach of contract in connection with a portfolio of total return swaps governed by an ISDA Master Agreement (collectively, the Agreement). Parties related to BDC have also sued BBPLC and BCI in Connecticut State Court in connection with BBPLC’s conduct relating to the Agreement.

Background Information

In October 2008, BDC filed a complaint in the NY Supreme Court alleging that BBPLC breached the Agreement when it failed to transfer approximately $40m of alleged excess collateral in response to BDC’s October 2008 demand (Demand).

BDC asserts that under the Agreement BBPLC was not entitled to dispute the Demand before transferring the alleged excess collateral and that even if the Agreement entitled BBPLC to dispute the Demand before making the transfer, BBPLC failed to dispute the Demand. BDC demands damages totalling $298m plus attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-judgement interest. Proceedings are currently pending and a trial on liability issues is currently scheduled to occur in 2017.

In September 2011, BDC’s investment advisor, BDCM Fund Adviser, L.L.C. and its parent company, Black Diamond Capital Holdings, L.L.C. also sued BBPLC and BCI in Connecticut State Court for unspecified damages allegedly resulting from BBPLC’s conduct relating to the Agreement, asserting claims for violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and tortious interference with business and prospective business relations. The parties agreed to stay this case.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

BDC has made claims against the Group totalling $298m plus attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-judgement interest. This amount does not necessarily reflect the Group’s potential financial exposure if a ruling were to be made against it.

Civil Actions in respect of the US Anti-Terrorism Act

In April 2015, an amended civil complaint was filed in the US Federal Court in the Eastern District of New York by a group of approximately 250 plaintiffs, alleging that BBPLC and a number of other banks engaged in a conspiracy and violated the US Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) by facilitating US dollar denominated transactions for the Government of Iran and various Iranian banks, which in turn funded Hezbollah attacks that injured the plaintiffs’ family members. Plaintiffs seek to recover for pain, suffering and mental anguish pursuant to the provisions of the ATA, which allows for the tripling of any proven damages. Following BBPLC’s motion to dismiss, in July 2016, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Interest Rate Swap US Civil Action

BPLC, BBPLC, and BCI, together with other financial institutions that act as market makers for interest rate swaps (IRS), Trade Web, and ICAP, are named as defendants in several antitrust class actions consolidated in the SDNY. The complaints allege defendants conspired to prevent the development of exchanges for IRS and demand unspecified money damages, treble damages and legal fees. Plaintiffs include certain swap execution facilities, as well as buy-side investors. The buy-side investors claim to represent a class that transacted in fixed-for-floating IRS with defendants in the US from 1 January 2008 to the present, including, for example, US retirement and pension funds, municipalities, university endowments, corporations, insurance companies and investment funds.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect it have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Treasury Auction Securities Civil Actions

Numerous putative class action complaints have been filed in US Federal Courts against BCI and other financial institutions that have served as primary dealers in US Treasury securities. The complaints have been or are in the process of being consolidated in the Federal Court in New York. The complaints generally allege that defendants conspired to manipulate the US Treasury securities market in violation of US federal antitrust laws, the CEA and state common law. Some complaints also allege that defendants engaged in illegal “spoofing” of the US Treasury market. The Group is considering the allegations in the complaints and is keeping all relevant agencies informed.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Investigation into Americas Wealth & Investment Management Advisory Business

The SEC is investigating the non-performance of certain due diligence on third-party managers by the Manager Research division of Barclays’ Wealth & Investment Management, Americas investment advisory business and the Group is responding to requests for information.

Investigation into suspected money laundering related to foreign exchange transactions in South African operation

Absa Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Barclays Africa Group Limited, has identified potentially fraudulent activity by certain of its customers using import advance payments to effect foreign exchange transfers from South Africa to beneficiary accounts located in Asia, UK, Europe and the US. As a result, the Group is conducting a review of relevant activity, processes, systems and controls. The Group is keeping relevant authorities informed as to the ongoing status of this matter and is providing information to these authorities as part of its ongoing cooperation.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the action described or what effect it might have upon operating results, cash flows or the Group’s financial position in any particular period.

Credit Default Swap (CDS) Antitrust Investigations and Civil Actions

The Commission and the DOJ-AD commenced investigations into the CDS market in 2011 and 2009, respectively. In December 2015 the Commission announced its decision to close its investigations in respect of BBPLC and 12 other banks. In July 2016 the Commission announced its decision to accept legally binding commitments relating to licensing of inputs for CDS exchange trading from each of the remaining entities subject to the investigation, ISDA and Markit Ltd., and close its investigation.

The Commission’s investigation related to concerns about actions to delay and prevent the emergence of exchange traded credit derivative products. The DOJ-AD’s investigation is a civil investigation and relates to similar issues. A civil class action in the SDNY involving similar claims against BBPLC, other financial institutions, Markit Ltd., and ISDA was settled for a total of US$1.864bn (including a payment of US $170 million from BBPLC). The settlement received final approval in April 2016 subject to the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlement discussed above, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

General

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

and business activities in which the Group is or has been engaged. The Group is keeping all relevant agencies briefed as appropriate in relation to these matters and others described in this Note on an ongoing basis.

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

20.      Related party transactions

Related party transactions in the period ended 30 June 2016 were similar in nature to those disclosed in the Group’s 2015 Annual Report. No related party transactions that have taken place in the first 6 months of 2016 have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during this period and there were no changes in the related parties transactions described in the 2015 Annual Report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in this period.

‘Internal Ratings Based (IRB)’ An approach under the CRR framework that relies on the bank’s internal models to derive the risk weights. The IRB approach is divided into two alternative applications, Advanced and Foundation:

 

   

Advanced IRB (‘A-IRB’): the bank uses its own estimates of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and credit conversion factor to model a given risk exposure.

 

   

Foundation IRB: the bank applies its own PD as for Advanced, but it uses standard parameters for the LGD and the credit conversion factor. The Foundation IRB approach is specifically designed for wholesale credit exposures. Hence retail, equity, securitisation positions and non-credit obligations asset exposures are treated under standardised or A-IRB.
