Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the three months ended 31 March 2019 to the corresponding three months of 2018 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 March 2019 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2018 and 31 March 2018. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; the abbreviations ‘€m’ and ‘€bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.

There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.

Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the results glossary that can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results.

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

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 Barclays Group.

Non-IFRS performance measures

Barclays management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses’ performance between financial periods and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Barclays Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 33 to 40 for further information and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

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

– Attributable profit excluding litigation and conduct represents attributable profit excluding litigation and conduct charges. The comparable IFRS measure is attributable profit. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35-39;

– Average allocated equity represents the average shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35-38;

– Average allocated tangible equity is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end allocated tangible equity and the current month’s period end allocated tangible equity. The average allocated tangible equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period. Period end allocated tangible equity is calculated as 13.0% (2018: 13.0%) of risk weighted assets for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Barclays Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Barclays Group’s tangible shareholders’ equity and the amounts allocated to businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35-38;

– Average tangible shareholders’ equity is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end tangible equity and the current month’s period end tangible equity. The average tangible shareholders’ equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35-38;

– Basic earnings per share excluding litigation and conduct is calculated by dividing statutory profit after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding litigation and conduct charges (pre 2019 included an adjustment for the tax credit in reserves in respect of other equity instruments), by the basic weighted average number of shares. The comparable IFRS measure is basic earnings per share. A reconciliation is provided on page 35;

– Cost: income ratio excluding litigation and conduct represents operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges, divided by total income. The comparable IFRS measure is cost: income ratio. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35-37;

– Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct represents operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges. The comparable IFRS measure is operating expenses. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35-37;

– Profit before tax excluding litigation and conduct represents profit before tax excluding litigation and conduct charges. The comparable IFRS measure is profit before tax. A reconciliation is provided on pages 35-39;

– Return on average allocated equity represents the return on shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 40;

– Return on average allocated tangible equity is calculated as the annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (pre 2019 included an adjustment for the tax credit in reserves in respect of other equity instruments), as a proportion of average allocated tangible equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 40;

Notes

 

– Return on average allocated tangible equity excluding litigation and conduct is calculated as the annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent excluding litigation and conduct charges (pre 2019 included an adjustment for the tax credit in reserves in respect of other equity instruments), as a proportion of average allocated tangible equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 40;

– Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity is calculated as the annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (pre 2019 included 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 is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 40; and

– Tangible net asset value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments, less goodwill and intangible assets, by the number of issued ordinary shares. The components of the calculation have been included on page 39.

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 Barclays 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 or relating to the Barclays Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend payout ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets, estimates of capital expenditures, plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS impacts and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards including evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entities within the Barclays Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; instability as a result of the exit by the United Kingdom from the European Union and the disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and globally; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Barclays Group’s control. As a result, the Barclays 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 Barclays Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Barclays Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2018), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to our obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of 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.

From 2019, due to an IAS 12 update, the tax relief on payments in relation to Additional Tier 1 instruments has been recognised in the tax charge of the income statement, whereas it was previously recorded in reserves. The Q119 tax credit was £48m (Q118: £46m). This change does not impact earnings per share or return on average tangible shareholders’ equity.

Refer to pages 33 to 39 for further information and calculations of performance measures excluding litigation and conduct.

3

Capital, RWAs and leverage measures are calculated applying the transitional arrangements of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). This includes IFRS 9 transitional arrangements.

4

The fully loaded CET1 ratio was 12.6%, with £40.3bn of CET1 capital and £319.6bn of RWAs, calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR.

Group Performance Review

 

 

Group performance

 

 

Profit before tax was £1,483m (Q118: loss of £236m). Excluding litigation and conduct, profit before tax was £1,544m (Q118: £1,725m), reflecting the challenging income environment for the CIB, and an increase in impairment due to the non-recurrence of a favourable US macroeconomic forecast update in Q118. The 6% appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted profits

 

 

Total income decreased 2% to £5,252m. Barclays UK income decreased 1% reflecting margin pressures partially offset by continued balance sheet growth. Barclays International income decreased 6%, as the impact of the challenging income environment for the CIB were partially offset by 6% growth in Consumer Cards and Payments

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased to £448m (Q118: £288m) primarily driven by the non-recurrence of a favourable US macroeconomic forecast update in Q118. There were no significant changes in the macroeconomic variables used in impairment modelling during the quarter. Delinquencies in unsecured lending remained stable, reflecting the continued prudent management of credit risk. The Barclays Group loan loss rate was 54bps (Q118: 36bps)

 

 

The cost: income ratio was 63% (Q118: 99%). Operating expenses of £3,257m reduced by 3% driven by lower variable compensation accruals in CIB, reflecting reduced income, whilst investment to grow the business and improve future operating efficiency continued. The cost: income ratio, excluding litigation and conduct, reduced to 62% (Q118: 63%)

 

 

The effective tax rate was 16.7%, which reflected a change in accounting standards from 2019 requiring tax relief on payments made under Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments, which in prior periods was recognised in retained earnings but taken into account for RoTE and EPS calculations, to be recognised in the income statement

 

 

Return on equity (RoE) was 7.8% (Q118: negative 5.5%) and earnings per share (EPS) was 6.1p (Q118: loss per share of 4.2p). Attributable profit was £1,038m (Q118: loss of £764m). Excluding litigation and conduct, attributable profit was £1,084m (Q118: £1,166m), generating a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 9.6% (Q118: 11.0%) and EPS of 6.3p (Q118: 7.1p)

 

 

Net asset value (NAV) per share was 312p (December 2018: 309p). Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share increased 4p in Q119 to 266p as 6.3p of EPS, excluding litigation and conduct, was partially offset by reserve movements, including the impact of changes in FX, the pension re-measurement and employee share awards

Barclays UK

 

 

RoE was 12.2% (Q118: negative 0.8%). RoTE excluding litigation and conduct was 16.4% (Q118: 15.7%) reflecting the continuing strength of the Barclays UK business

 

 

Total income decreased 1% to £1,777m as lower lending margins were partially offset by continuing mortgage and deposit growth

 

   

Personal Banking income decreased 1% to £964m, reflecting continuing mortgage margin pressure, partially offset by mortgage and deposit balance growth and improved liability margins

 

   

Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 7% to £490m reflecting the continued reduced risk appetite in light of economic uncertainty

 

   

Business Banking income increased 12% to £323m driven by strong deposit growth and the non-recurrence of a client remediation provision in Q118

 

   

Net interest margin decreased 2bps in Q119 to 3.18% driven by continuing pressure on mortgage margins and the mix effect from the focus on growing secured over unsecured lending

 

 

Credit impairment charges decreased 5% to £191m reflecting the continued reduced credit risk appetite and benign UK economic environment as reflected in the stable 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK cards of 1.9% (Q118: 2.0%) and 0.9% (Q118: 0.9%) respectively

 

 

Operating expenses were £1,002m. The cost: income ratio was 56% (Q118: 79%). Operating expenses, excluding litigation and conduct, decreased 1% to £999m as continued investment to grow the business, including digitisation, was offset by the non-recurrence of Q118 ring-fencing set-up costs and cost efficiencies. The cost: income ratio, excluding litigation and conduct, was 56% (Q118: 56%)

 

 

RWAs increased to £76.6bn (December 2018: £75.2bn) including the recognition of property leases following IFRS 16 implementation and change in mix of the liquidity pool

Group Performance Review

 

 

 

Barclays International

 

 

Profit before tax was £1,118m. RoE was 10.0% (Q118: 12.8%), CIB RoE was 9.3% (Q118: 12.9%) and Consumer, Cards and Payments RoE was 12.8% (Q118: 12.6%). Profit before tax, excluding litigation and conduct, decreased 20% to £1,137m resulting in a RoTE of 10.6% (Q118: 13.6%), reflecting reduced returns in the CIB of 9.5% (Q118: 13.2%) and Consumer, Cards and Payments of 15.4% (Q118: 15.7%)

 

 

The 6% appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted profits and income, and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and operating expenses

 

 

Total income decreased 6% to £3,570m

 

   

CIB income of £2,505m decreased 11% reflecting reduced client activity, lower volatility and a smaller banking fee pool across the industry1. Markets income decreased 6% to £1,369m, Banking fees income decreased 17% to £569m, and Corporate income decreased 13% to £567m

 

   

Within Markets, FICC income increased 4% to £902m driven by a strong performance in Rates. Equities income decreased 21% to £467m driven by equity derivatives which was impacted by reduced client activity and subdued volumes, compared to a strong Q118 that saw higher levels of volatility

 

   

Banking fees income decreased 17% to £569m reflecting the reduced fee pool across the industry and a strong Q118. Barclays share of the global fee pool has increased since FY181

 

   

Within Corporate, Corporate lending income reduced to £152m (Q118: £240m). Excluding mark-to-market movements on loan hedges, Corporate lending income was stable at c.£200m. Transaction banking income was stable at £415m (Q118: £414m)

 

   

Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 6% to £1,065m reflecting growth in US cards partnership portfolio business and FX

 

 

Credit impairment charges increased to £245m (Q118: £93m)

 

   

CIB credit impairment charges increased to £52m (Q118: release of £159m) primarily due to the non-recurrence of a favourable US macroeconomic forecast update in Q118

 

   

Consumer, Cards and Payments credit impairment charges decreased 23% reflecting less pronounced seasonal effects. Credit metrics were stable, with US cards 30 and 90 day arrears of 2.6% (Q118: 2.6%) and 1.4% (Q118: 1.4%) respectively

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased 4% to £2,225m as variable compensation accruals were reduced in response to the income performance in the quarter

 

 

RWAs increased to £216.1bn (December 2018: £210.7bn), driven by increased CIB seasonal activity

Head Office

 

 

Loss before tax, excluding litigation and conduct, was £181m (Q118: £284m). Including litigation and conduct charges of £39m (Q118: £1,535m), loss before tax was £220m (Q118: £1,819m)

 

 

Total income was an expense of £95m (Q118: £238m) which included legacy capital instrument funding costs and hedge accounting expenses partially offset by the recognition of dividends on Barclays stake in Absa Group Limited. The reduction on prior year reflects lower net expenses from treasury operations

 

 

Operating expenses were £91m (Q118: £1,594m). Operating expenses, excluding litigation and conduct, decreased to £52m (Q118: £59m)

 

 

RWAs increased to £27.0bn (December 2018: £26.0bn) driven by recognition of property leases following IFRS 16 implementation

Group Performance Review

 

 

 

Group capital and leverage

 

 

The CET1 ratio remained at the end-state target of c.13% having decreased to 13.0% in the quarter (December 2018: 13.2%), primarily due to an increase in RWAs of £7.8bn partially offset by a £0.3bn increase in CET1 capital

 

   

The increase in RWAs was principally due to seasonality in the CIB and the implementation of IFRS 16 within Barclays UK and Head Office

 

   

CET1 capital increased by £0.3bn to £41.4bn as underlying profit generation of £1.2bn, was partially offset by £0.5bn for dividends paid and foreseen and £0.3bn from share awards

 

 

The average UK leverage ratio increased to 4.6% (December 2018: 4.5%) primarily driven by the issuance of AT1 securities, and was flat year-on-year. The average UK leverage exposure was stable at £1,106bn (December 2018: £1,110bn). The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2018: 5.1%) primarily driven by a seasonal increase in balances, partially offset by an increase in capital, including the issuance of AT1 securities

Group funding and liquidity

 

 

The liquidity pool increased to £232bn (December 2018: £227bn) reflecting the Group’s prudent liquidity management approach, given the prevailing macroeconomic uncertainty, while continuing to support seasonal business activity. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) remained well above the 100% regulatory requirement at 160% (December 2018: 169%), equivalent to a surplus of £84bn (December 2018: £90bn). The LCR declined in the quarter reflecting the seasonal increase in business activity. The Group also continued to maintain surpluses to its internal liquidity requirements

 

 

Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £158bn (December 2018: £154bn). The Group issued £2.2bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments year-to-date from Barclays PLC (the Parent company). The Group is well advanced in its MREL issuance plans, with a Barclays PLC MREL ratio of 27.7% as at 31 March 2019 relative to an estimated requirement including requisite buffers of 29.9% by 1 January 2022

Other matters

 

 

The remaining PPI provision as at 31 March 2019 was £0.6bn (December 2018: £0.9bn) to cover claims through to the deadline of 29 August 2019

 

 

Following regulatory approval, Barclays intends to redeem its £3bn 14% Reserve Capital Instruments to be effected on 15 June 2019, which will result in an ongoing earnings benefit

Capital

Barclays CET1 regulatory requirement is 11.7% comprising a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.6% Pillar 2A requirement and a 0.5% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).

The Barclays CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which Barclays have exposures. On 28 November 2018, the Financial Policy Committee set the CCyB rate for UK exposures at 1%. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for our non-UK exposures are not currently material. Overall, this results in a 0.5% CCyB for Barclays for Q119.

Barclays Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Requirement for 2019 is 4.7%, of which at least 56.25% needs to be met in CET1 form, equating to approximately 2.6% of RWAs. Certain elements of the Pillar 2A requirement are a fixed quantum whilst others are a proportion of RWAs and are based on a point in time assessment. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review.

The fully loaded CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays PLC additional tier 1 (AT1) securities, was 12.6%, with £40.3bn of CET1 capital and £319.6bn of RWAs calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR.

3

The Barclays PLC CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays Bank PLC T2 Contingent Capital Notes, was 13.0%. For this calculation CET1 capital and RWAs are calculated applying the transitional arrangements under the CRR, including the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements. The benefit of the Financial Services Authority October 2012 interpretation of the transitional provisions, relating to the implementation of CRD IV, expired in December 2017.

Leverage ratio and exposures

Barclays is subject to a leverage ratio requirement of 4.0% as at 31 March 2019. This comprises the 3.25% minimum requirement, a G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.53% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB) of 0.2%. Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of T1 capital, 75% of the minimum requirement, equating to 2.4375%, needs to be met with CET1 capital. In addition, the G-SII ALRB and CCLB must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.53% G-SII ALRB was £5.8bn and the 0.2% CCLB was £2.2bn.

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

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2018: 5.1%) driven by a seasonal increase in UK leverage exposure of £66bn to £1,065bn (December 2018: £999bn), partially offset by an increase in T1 capital primarily due to the issuance of $2bn AT1 securities. Leverage exposure movements included a seasonal increase in settlement balances, securities financing transactions (SFTs) and trading portfolio assets.

The average UK leverage ratio increased to 4.6% (December 2018: 4.5%) driven by £0.7bn increase in T1 capital primarily driven by the issuance of $2bn AT1 securities. The average UK leverage exposure was stable at £1,106bn (December 2018: £1,110bn).

The difference between the average UK leverage ratio and the UK leverage ratio was primarily driven by the issuance of AT1 securities in March 2019 and lower SFT exposures at quarter end.

Barclays is required to disclose a CRR leverage ratio. This is included in the additional Barclays regulatory disclosures, prepared in accordance with European Banking Authority (EBA) guidelines on disclosure requirements under Part Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (see Barclays PLC Pillar 3 Report Q1 2019), due to be published by 25 April 2019, available at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results.

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)

Under the Bank of England’s statement of policy on MREL, the Bank of England will set MREL for UK Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs) as necessary to implement the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) standard.

MREL is subject to phased implementation from 1 January 2019 and will be fully implemented by 1 January 2022, at which time G-SIBs with resolution entities incorporated in the UK, including Barclays, will be required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of its Pillar 1 and Pillar 2A requirements or; (ii) the higher of two times its leverage ratio requirement or 6.75% of leverage exposures. However, the PRA will review the MREL calibration by the end of 2020, including assessing the proposal for Pillar 2A recapitalisation which may drive a different 1 January 2022 MREL than currently proposed. In addition, it is proposed that CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the capital buffers, meaning that the buffers will effectively be applied above both the Pillar 1 and Pillar 2A requirements relating to own funds and MREL.

Barclays indicative MREL is currently expected to be 29.9% of RWAs from 1 January 2022 comprising:

 

 

Loss absorption and recapitalisation amounts consisting of two times the 8% Pillar 1 and 4.7% Pillar 2A requirement

 

 

Capital buffers including a 1.5% G-SII buffer, 2.5% CCB and 0.5% CCyB.

Investment in subsidiaries

The investment in subsidiaries of £59,374m (December 2018: £57,374m) predominantly relates to investments in Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC, as well as holdings of their AT1 securities of £11,163m (December 2018: £9,666m). The increase of £2,000m in the quarter was predominantly driven by a £504m capital contribution into Barclays Bank PLC and an additional $2,000m AT1 holding.

Subordinated liabilities and financial liabilities designated at fair value

In the three months ended 31 March 2019, Barclays PLC issued ¥20,000m Fixed-to-floating Rate Bonds, which are included within the financial liabilities designated at fair value balance of £140m (December 2018: £nil). Barclays PLC did not issue any subordinated liabilities in the period.

Other equity instruments

Other equity instruments comprises AT1 securities issued by Barclays PLC. In the quarter, Barclays PLC issued a $2,000m AT1 security.

Management of internal investments, loans and advances

Barclays PLC retains the discretion to manage the nature of its internal investments in subsidiaries according to their regulatory and business needs. Barclays PLC may invest capital and funding into Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Bank UK PLC and other Barclays Group subsidiaries such as the Group Service Company and the US Intermediate Holding Company (IHC). In June 2018, the Bank of England published its updated statement of policy on ‘The Bank of England’s approach to setting a minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)’. Accordingly, during the course of December 2018 Barclays restructured certain investments in subsidiaries, including subordinating internal MREL instruments beneath operating liabilities, to the extent required to achieve compliance with internal MREL requirements which came in to effect on 1 January 2019.

Appendix: Non-IFRS Performance Measures

 

 

Barclays management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses’ performance between financial periods, and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Barclays Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays management.

However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well.

Non-IFRS performance measures glossary

 

Measure    Definition

Loans and advances at amortised cost divided by deposits at amortised cost.

Period end allocated tangible equity   

Allocated tangible equity is calculated as 13.0% (2018: 13.0%) of RWAs for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Barclays Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Barclays Group’s tangible shareholders’ equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.

Average tangible shareholders’ equity    Calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end tangible equity and the current month’s period end tangible equity. The average tangible shareholders’ equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period.
Average allocated tangible equity

This is calculated on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s effective interest rate. The emergence and outcome periods vary across products.
