Notes

The terms Barclays and Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the six months ended 30 June 2023 to the corresponding six months of 2022 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 June 2023 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2022 and 30 June 2022. 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; and 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, which can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations.

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 26 July 2023, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022, which contained an unmodified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

These results will be furnished on Form 6-K with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished with the SEC, a copy of the Form 6-K will be available from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal road-shows and other ad hoc meetings. Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Group.

Non-IFRS performance measures

Barclays’ management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses’ performance between financial periods and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays’ management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 89 to 95 for further information and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

Forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by directors, officers and employees of the Group (including during management presentations) in connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group’s future financial position, income levels, costs, assets and liabilities, impairment charges, provisions, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including dividend policy and share buybacks), return on tangible equity, projected levels of growth in banking and financial markets, industry trends, any commitments and targets (including environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and targets), business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations and other statements that are not historical or current facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: changes in legislation, regulation and the interpretation thereof, changes in IFRS and other accounting standards, including practices with regard to the interpretation and application thereof and emerging and developing ESG reporting standards; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities; the Group’s ability along with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively; environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group’s control; the impact of competition; capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions, including inflation; volatility in credit and capital markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; higher or lower asset valuations; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by it; changes in counterparty risk; changes in consumer behaviour; the direct and indirect consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; direct and indirect impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; instability as a result of the UK’s exit from the European Union (EU), the effects of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement and any disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and globally; the risk of cyber-attacks, information or security breaches or technology failures on the Group’s reputation, business or operations; the Group’s ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual financial position, results, financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures or its ability to meet commitments and targets may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC’s filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2022), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to Barclays PLC’s obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the UK and the US) in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Performance Highlights

Barclays delivered return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 11.4% in Q223 and 13.2% in H123, with a half year dividend of 2.7p per share and intends to initiate a share buyback of up to £750m

C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, commented

“We have positioned Barclays carefully for this mixed macroeconomic environment and delivered a consistent performance in the second quarter. Through our diverse sources of income, prudent risk management, and ongoing cost discipline we have again demonstrated the stability and strength of the franchise we have built over many years. This means we are able to distribute increased capital returns to shareholders, while providing targeted support to our customers and clients. Looking forward we are very confident of meeting our targets for the full year.”

● Q223 RoTE of 11.4% and H123 of 13.2%, with double-digit RoTE across all operating divisions in both periods

● Announced H123 dividend of 2.7p per share and a share buyback of up to £750m

● Strong balance sheet with Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.8% and Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 158%

Key financial metrics:

	Income	Cost: income ratio	LLR	Profit before tax	Attributable profit	RoTE	EPS	TNAV per share	CET1 ratio	Total capital return1
Q223	£6.3bn	63%	37bps	£2.0bn	£1.3bn	11.4%	8.6p	291p	13.8%	c.7.5p
H123	£13.5bn	60%	44bps	£4.6bn	£3.1bn	13.2%	19.9p

Q223 Performance highlights:

● Group RoTE of 11.4% with profit before tax increased to £2.0bn (Q222: £1.5bn). The prior year includes impacts from the Over-issuance of Securities2; £0.8bn income gain and £1.1bn litigation and conduct charges. Excluding these impacts

– Group income, up6% year-on-year to £6.3bn, reflects diverse sources of income across Barclays:

– Barclays UK income increased 14% to £2.0bn, primarily driven by net interest income growth from higher rates, including continued structural hedge income, partially offset by product dynamics in deposits and mortgages

– Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) income decreased 3% to £3.2bn, reflecting lower client activity in Global Markets and Investment Banking fees, more than offsetting a strong performance in Transaction Banking from higher rates

– Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) increased18% to £1.3bn reflecting higher balances in US cards (including the Gap portfolio3), growth in client assets and liabilities, and higher rates in Private Bank

– Group total operating expenses were £4.0bn, up 2% year-on-year, as inflation and business growth were partially offset by efficiency savings and lower litigation and conduct charges

– Cost: income ratio was 63% as the Group delivered positive cost: income jaws

● Credit impairment charges were £0.4bn, with a loss loan rate (LLR) of 37bps

● CET1 ratio of 13.8%, based on broadly stable risk weighted assets (RWAs) of £336.9bn, and tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share of 291p

H123 Performance highlights:

● Group RoTE was 13.2%, well positioned to achieve our greater than 10% target for 2023

● Excluding the impact of Over-issuance of Securities in the prior year4:

– Group income of £13.5bn, up 9% year-on-year

– Group total operating expenses were £8.1bn, up 5% year-on-year. Cost: income ratio of 60%, consistent with full year guidance of low 60s in 2023

● Credit impairment charges were £0.9bn, reflecting the anticipated normalising of charges, with an LLR of 44bps; maintaining expectation of 50-60bps LLR for 2023

● On a statutory basis:

– Group income was £13.5bn, up 2% year-on-year

– Group total operating expenses were £8.1bn, down 12% year-on-year

Group Targets and Outlook:

● Returns: targeting RoTE of greater than 10% in 2023, consistent with our medium-term target

● Income: diversified income streams continue to position the Group well for the current economic and market environment including higher interest rates. In 2023, Barclays UK Net Interest Margin (NIM) is now expected to be less than 3.20%, with a current view of around 3.15%. Guidance remains sensitive to product dynamics including the trajectory of deposit balances and further macroeconomic developments

● Costs: targeting a cost: income ratio percentage in the low 60s in 2023, investing for growth whilst progressing towards the Group’s medium-term target of below 60%

● Impairment: expect an LLR of 50-60bps in 2023, based on the current macroeconomic outlook

● Capital: expect to operate within the CET1 ratio medium-term target range of 13-14%

● Capital returns: capital distribution policy incorporates a progressive ordinary dividend, supplemented with share buybacks as appropriate

Group Finance Director’s Review

H123 Group performance

● Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £4,562m (H122: £3,733m), RoTE of 13.2% (H122: 10.1%) and earnings per share (EPS) of 19.9p (H122: 14.8p)

● The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies including a significant presence in the US. The appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses

● Group income increased2% to £13,522m primarily from the higher interest rate environment, including continued structural hedge income, and the benefit of higher balances in US cards, partially offset by the prior year benefit from hedging arrangements related to the Over-issuance of Securities and lower client activity in Global Markets and Investment Banking fees

● Group total operating expenses decreased to £8,062m (H122: £9,127m)

– Group operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges increased to £8,030m (H122: £7,270m) reflecting the impact of business growth, including the Gap portfolio acquisition in US cards and the Kensington Mortgage Company (KMC) acquisition in Barclays UK, with the impact of inflation broadly offset by efficiency savings

– Litigation and conduct charges decreased to £32m (H122: £1,857m). The prior year charges included £1,469m of costs related to the Over-issuance of Securities

● Credit impairment charges were £896m (H122: £341m), reflecting higher US cards balances and normalising delinquencies. Total coverage ratio remains strong at 1.4% (December 2022: 1.4%)

● The effective tax rate (ETR) was 20.0% (H122: 22.0%). The prior year included the tax charge recognised for the re-measurement of the Group’s UK deferred tax assets as a result of the UK banking surcharge rate being reduced from 8% to 3%

● Attributable profit was £3,111m (H122: £2,475m)

● Total assets increased to £1,549.7bn (December 2022: £1,513.7bn) driven by increased trading and client activity within Global Markets, partially offset by the strengthening of GBP against USD since December 2022. The Group liquidity pool was further strengthened by growth in deposits

● TNAV per share was 291p (December 2022: 295p) as EPS of 19.9p was more than offset by the 2022 full year dividend paid on 31 March 2023 and net negative reserve movements driven by currency movements and the interest rate environment

Capital distributions

● Announced a half year dividend of 2.7p per share and intention to initiate a further share buyback of up to £750m

● Barclays is committed to maintaining a balance between a strong capital position, delivering total cash returns to shareholders and investment in the business. Barclays pays a progressive ordinary dividend, taking into account these objectives and the earnings outlook of the Group. The Board will also continue to supplement the ordinary dividend as appropriate, including with share buybacks

Group capital and leverage

● The CET1 ratio decreased by c.10bps to 13.8% (December 2022: 13.9%) as CET1 capital decreased to £46.6bn (December 2022: £46.9bn) whilst RWAs remained broadly stable at £336.9bn:

– c.90bps increase from attributable profit generated in the period

– c.40bps aggregate decrease from expected capital impacts in Q123, including the £0.5bn share buyback announced at FY22 results, the impact of regulatory change on 1 January 2023 relating to IFRS 9 transitional relief, and the impact of the KMC acquisition

– c.30bps decrease as a result of a £8.6bn increase in RWAs primarily driven by increased trading and credit risk RWAs within CIB

– c.30bps decrease primarily due to increased regulatory capital deductions largely driven by an accrual for the FY23 dividend

– An £8.8bn decrease in RWAs as a result of foreign exchange movements was broadly offset by a £1.2bn decrease in CET1 capital due to a decrease in the currency translation reserve

● The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% (December 2022: 5.3%) primarily due to a £53.7bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,183.7bn (December 2022: £1,130.0bn). This is largely driven by increased trading and client activity within Global Markets

Group funding and liquidity

● The liquidity and funding position remains robust and stable in H123. The liquidity pool increased to £330.7bn (December 2022: £318.0bn) driven by deposit growth. The composition of the liquidity pool is conservative, with 80% held in cash and deposits with central banks and the remainder primarily held in high quality government bonds, materially held at fair value or hedged

● The strength of the funding and liquidity position is supported by a diverse and stable deposit franchise. Total deposits increased to £554.7bn (December 2022: £545.8bn)

● The LCR remained significantly above the 100% regulatory requirement at 158% (December 2022: 165%), equivalent to a surplus of £115.3bn (December 2022: £116.4bn)

● Net Stable Funding Ratio (average of last four quarter ends) was 139% (December 2022: 137%), which represents a £166.6bn (December 2022: £155.6bn) surplus above the 100% regulatory requirement

● Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £183.3bn (December 2022: £184.0bn)

● The Group issued £7.1bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in H123. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 32.9%, which is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 29.2% plus a confidential, institution specific, Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer

Other matters

● KMC acquisition: on 1 March 2023 Barclays completed the acquisition of UK specialist mortgage lender KMC, including a portfolio of mortgages totalling £2.2bn with an RWA impact of £0.8bn

● Combination of the Private Bank and Barclays UK Wealth business: on 1 May 2023, Wealth Management & Investments (WM&I) was transferred from Barclays UK to CC&P, creating a combined Private Bank and Wealth Management business. The combination seeks to improve customer and client experience and create business synergies:

– The business transferred includes c.£28bn of invested assets, generating annualised income of c.£0.2bn

– Excluding the transfer, Q223 Barclays UK income would have been c.£35m higher, NIM c.2bps higher and operating costs c.£35m higher, with corresponding impacts to income and operating costs for CC&P

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 20.4% supported by the higher interest rate environment and the continued investment in our transformation into a next-generation, digitised consumer bank. The challenging environment has persisted with customer behaviour driving a reduction in the NIM outlook.

Income statement - H123 compared to H122

● Profit before tax increased 26% to £1,535m with a RoTE of 20.4% (H122: 17.0%)

● Total income increased16% to £3,922m. Net interest income increased 20% to £3,278m with a NIM of 3.20% (H122: 2.67%), as higher interest rates and associated structural hedge benefit outweighed mortgage margin pressure and lower deposit volumes. Net fee, commission and other income was stable at £644m, including the impact of the transfer of WM&I to CC&P

– Personal Banking income increased 19% to £2,497m, driven by higher interest rates, partially offset by mortgage margin compression and lower current accounts deposit volumes in line with wider market trends and cost of living pressures

– Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 11% to £484m as higher customer spend volumes were more than offset by lower interest earning lending balances following repayments and ongoing prudent risk management

– Business Banking income increased 28% to £941m driven by higher interest rates, partially offset by lower government scheme lending as repayments continue and lower deposit volumes in line with wider market trends

● Total operating expenses increased3% to £2,179mfrom the impact of inflation, partially offset by the transfer of WM&I to CC&P. Ongoing efficiency savings continue to be reinvested in digitisation to support further improvements to the cost: income ratio over time

● Credit impairment charges increased to £208m (H122: £48m), driven by UK cards and Mortgages. The updated macroeconomic scenarios reflect improvement in GDP and unemployment outlook against a backdrop of higher interest rates and a weaker House Price Index (HPI). UK cards 30 and 90 day arrears remained low at 0.9% (H122: 1.0%) and 0.2% (H122: 0.2%) respectively. The UK cards total coverage ratio was 7.1% (December 2022: 7.6%)

Balance sheet - 30 June 2023 compared to 31 December 2022

● Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased1% to £206.8bn primarily reflecting the acquisition of KMC and continued mortgage lending, which more than offset repayment of government scheme lending in Business Banking

● Customer deposits at amortised cost decreased3% to £249.8bn. Increases in savings product balances were more than offset by reduced current account and Business Banking deposits, reflecting broader market trends. The loan: deposit ratio increased to 90% (December 2022: 87%)

● RWAs were broadly stable at £73.0bn (December 2022: £73.1bn) including a capital Loss Given Default (LGD) model update for the mortgages portfolio, partially offset by the acquisition of KMC

1	Includes £155bn (H122: £145bn) of merchant acquiring payments.
2	The H122 comparative has been restated to reflect only the turnover of the Payments business to be consistent with H123

Barclays International delivered a RoTE of 12.4%. Despite the reduced banking industry fee pool and lower client activity in Global Markets, CIB delivered a RoTE of 12.6% reflecting the benefits of income diversification and investment in sustainable growth. CC&P RoTE of 11.1% reflected continued investment in the business resulting in balance growth and increased income, partially offset by higher impairment charges.

Income statement - H123 compared to H122

● Profit before tax increased 20% to £3,319m with a RoTE of 12.4% (H122: 11.5%), reflecting a RoTE of 12.6% (H122: 11.9%) in CIB and 11.1% (H122: 8.5%) in CC&P

● Barclays International has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies including a significant presence in the US. The appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits, and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses

● Total income decreased to £9,722m (H122: £9,940m)

– CIB income decreased 10% to £7,138m. Excluding the impact from prior year hedging arrangements related to the Over-issuance of Securities1, CIB income decreased 1%

– Global Markets income of £4,241m decreased 25%, and 13% excluding the impact from prior year hedging arrangements related to the Over-issuance of Securities. FICC income decreased 6% to £2,974m, driven by macro reflecting lower market volatility and client activity, partially offset by a strong performance in credit. Equities income of £1,267m decreased 49%, and 26% excluding the impact from the Over-issuance of Securities driven by a decline in derivatives income reflecting less volatile equity market conditions

– Investment Banking fees decreased 11% to £1,075m due to the reduced fee pool across Advisory and Debt capital markets2, partially offset by an improvement in Equity capital markets

– Within Corporate, Transaction banking income increased 48% to £1,559m driven by improved deposit margins in the higher rate environment. Corporate lending income increased to £263m (H122: £78m) mainly driven by lower costs of hedging and the non-repeat of fair value losses on leverage finance lending net of mark to market gains on related hedges in H122

– CC&P income increased 31% to £2,584m

– International Cards and Consumer Bank income increased 41% to £1,734m reflecting higher cards balances and improved margins, including the Gap portfolio acquisition in Q222

– Private Bank income increased 21% to £554m, reflecting client balance growth and improved margins, including the transfer of WM&I from Barclays UK

– Payments income increased 5% to £296m driven by merchant acquiring turnover growth

● Total operating expenses decreased 17% to £5,733m and increased 13% to £5,703m excluding litigation and conduct, reflecting investment in the business

– CIB total operating expenses decreased 23% to £4,184m. Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges increased 10% to £4,186m reflecting investment in talent and technology, and the impact of inflation

– CC&P total operating expenses increased 7% to £1,549m. Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges increased 21% to £1,517m, driven by higher investment spend to support growth, mainly in marketing and partnership costs, including the Gap portfolio acquisition, the transfer of WM&I from Barclays UK and the impact of inflation

● Credit impairment charges were £679m (H122: £310m)

– CIB credit impairment charges of £20m (H122: £32m) were driven by single name charges partially offset by the benefit of credit protection and the updated macroeconomic scenarios

– CC&P credit impairment charges increased to £659m (H122: £278m), reflecting higher US cards balances, including the Gap portfolio, and normalising delinquencies. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears were 2.4% (H122: 1.4%) and 1.2% (H122: 0.7%) respectively. The US cards total coverage ratio was 9.0% (December 2022: 8.1%)

1	H122 included a £758m of income related to hedging arrangements to manage the risks of the rescission offer in relation to the Over-issuance of Securities.
2	Data source: Dealogic for the period covering 1 January to 30 June 2023.

Balance sheet - 30 June 2023 compared to 31 December 2022

● Loans and advances at amortised cost increased £1.9bn to £171.5bn driven by increased investment in debt securities in Treasury, offset by net loan repayments in CIB and the strengthening of GBP against USD

● Trading portfolio assets increased £31.3bn to £165.1bndriven by increased trading activity at the end of the period within Global Markets

● Derivative assets and liabilities decreased £36.8bn and £34.4bn respectively to £264.9bn and £254.5bn reflecting lower market volatility and the strengthening of GBP against USD

● Financial assets at fair value through the income statement increased £21.7bn to £232.2bn driven by increased secured lending

● Deposits at amortised costs increased £17.4bn to £305.0bndriven by increased deposits in Treasury

● RWAs decreased to £254.6bn (December 2022: £254.8bn), as a reduction from the strengthening of GBP against USD was partially offset by increased trading and credit risk RWAs within CIB

The Barclays UK and Barclays International NIM has increased 91bps from 3.15% in H122 to 4.06% in H123, driven by the higher interest rate environment and continued structural hedge income momentum across the Group as well as higher balances in CC&P including the Gap portfolio acquisition, partially offset by product dynamics in deposits and mortgages.

The Group’s combined product and equity structural hedge notional amount at June 2023 was £256bn (December 2022: £263bn), with an average duration of close to 2.5 years (2022: average duration close to 3 years). Gross structural hedge contributions of £1,639m (H122: £879m) and net structural hedge contributions of £(3,701)m (H122: £83m) are included in Group net interest income. Gross structural hedge contributions represent the absolute level of interest earned from the fixed receipts on swaps in the structural hedge, while the net structural hedge contributions represent the net interest earned on the difference between the structural hedge rate and prevailing floating rates.

Risk Management

Risk management and principal risks

The roles and responsibilities of the business groups, Risk and Compliance in the management of risk in the Group are defined in the Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The purpose of the framework is to identify the principal risks of the Group, the process by which the Group sets its appetite for these risks in its business activities, and the consequent limits which it places on related risk taking.

The framework identifies nine principal risks: credit risk, market risk, treasury and capital risk, climate risk, operational risk, model risk, compliance risk, reputation risk and legal risk. Further detail on the Group’s principal risks and previously identified material existing and emerging risks and how such risks are managed is available in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022 (pages 266 to 295), which can be accessed at home.barclays/annualreport. Other than the changes set out in the paragraph below, there have been no significant changes to these principal risks or previously identified material existing and emerging risks in the period.

In Q223, the 'conduct risk' principal risk was expanded to include “Laws, Rules and Regulations (LRR) Risk” and consequently renamed 'compliance risk’. Reflecting this, the definition of compliance risk is: 'The risk of poor outcomes for, or harm to, customers, clients and markets, arising from the delivery of the firm’s products and services (also known as 'Conduct Risk') and the risk to Barclays, its clients, customers or markets from a failure to comply with the laws, rules and regulations applicable to the firm (also known as Laws, Rules and Regulations Risk 'LRR Risk').' The definition of the 'legal risk' principal risk was updated to: 'The risk of loss or imposition of penalties, damages or fines from the failure of the firm to meet applicable laws, rules and regulations or contractual requirements or to assert or defend its intellectual property rights.' The revised framework has been in force from June 2023.

The following section gives an overview of credit risk, market risk, and treasury and capital risk for the period.

Credit Risk

Loans and advances at amortised cost by stage

Total loans and advances at amortised cost in the credit risk performance section includes Loans and advances at amortised cost to banks, Loans and advances at amortised cost to customers and Debt securities at amortised cost.

The table below presents a stage allocation and business segment analysis of loans and advances at amortised cost by gross exposure, impairment allowance, impairment charge and coverage ratio as at 30 June 2023. Also included are stage allocation of off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by gross exposure, impairment allowance and coverage as at 30 June 2023.

Impairment allowance under IFRS 9 considers both the drawn and the undrawn counterparty exposure. For retail portfolios, the total impairment allowance is allocated to gross loans and advances to the extent allowance does not exceed the drawn exposure and any excess is reported on the liabilities side of the balance sheet as a provision. For wholesale portfolios, impairment allowance on undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

1 Predominantly includes debt securities within Treasury and CIB, these have a total gross exposure of £45.5bn and an impairment allowance of £42m. Also includes loans and advances of £4.1bn within Treasury and £0.5bn within Head Office, which have an impairment allowance of £nil.

Loans and advances at amortised cost by selected sectors

The table below presents a breakdown of drawn exposure and impairment allowance for loans and advances at amortised cost with stage allocation for selected industry sectors within the corporate loan portfolio. As the nature of macroeconomic uncertainties have evolved, including to higher interest rates and continuing inflationary stress, so has the appraisal of selected sectors under management focus.

Gross loans and advances to selected sectors have decreased through the year, as has the coverage ratio at June 2023: 1.6%, (December 2022: 2.0%) primarily driven by non-default coverage reducing from 1.2% at December 2022 to 0.8% at June 2023. The lower impairment provisioning is primarily driven by the retirement of the customer uncertainty PMA following rebuild of certain CIB models, which better capture the macroeconomic outlook; and a granular assessment of the portfolio, which is subject to increased monitoring under Barclays Risk Management framework. The portfolio also benefits from an external hedge protection program that enables effective risk management against credit losses.

An additional £72m (December 2022: £115m) impairment allowance has been provisioned against undrawn commitments not included in the table above.

Movement in gross exposures and impairment allowance including provisions for loan commitments and financial guarantees

The following tables present a reconciliation of the opening to the closing balance of the exposure and impairment allowance. An explanation of the methodology used to determine credit impairment provisions is included in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022.

Transfers between stages in the tables have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the year. 'Net drawdowns, repayments, net re-measurement and movements due to exposure and risk parameter changes' includes additional drawdowns and partial repayments from existing facilities. Additionally, the below tables do not include other financial assets subject to impairment such as cash collateral and settlement balances, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and other assets.

The movements are measured over a 6-month period.

Management adjustments to models for impairment

Management adjustments to impairment models are applied in order to factor in certain conditions or changes in policy that are not fully incorporated into the impairment models, or to reflect additional facts and circumstances at the period end. Management adjustments are reviewed and incorporated into future model development where applicable.

Management adjustments are captured through “Economic uncertainty” and “Other” adjustments, and are presented by product below:

2	Includes £4.7bn (FY22: £4.8bn) of modelled ECL, £0.4bn (FY22: £0.4bn) of individually assessed impairments and £0.4bn (FY22: £0.5bn) ECL from non-modelled exposures.
3	Total impairment allowance consists of ECL stock on drawn and undrawn exposure.

Economic uncertainty adjustments

Models have been developed with data from non-inflationary periods establishing a relationship between input variables and customer delinquency based on past behaviour. Additionally, models are trying to interpret significant rates of change in macroeconomic variables and applying these to stable probability of default (PD) levels. As such there is a risk that the modelled output fails to capture the appropriate response to changes in macroeconomic variables including higher interest rates and continuing inflationary stress with modelled impairment provisions impacted by uncertainty.

This uncertainty continues to be captured in two ways. Firstly, customer uncertainty: the identification of customers and clients who may be more vulnerable to economic instability; and secondly, model uncertainty: to capture the impact from model limitations and sensitivities to specific macroeconomic parameters which are applied at a portfolio level.

Economic uncertainty adjustments have decreased from last year, informed by retirement of all legacy Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) adjustments following the rebuild of certain CIB models in order to better capture the macroeconomic outlook. Furthermore, adjustments have been re-sized to capture affordability headwinds in UK retail lending considered not adequately captured in modelled outcomes.

The balance as at H123 is £271m (FY22: £317m) and includes:

Customer and client uncertainty provisions of £221m (FY22: £423m) includes:

● Retail mortgages: £22m (FY22: £4m) includes an adjustment applied to customers considered most vulnerable to affordability pressures. The increase is primarily driven by an adjustment introduced to reflect the risk of borrowers refinancing onto higher rates in the medium term.

● Retail credit cards: £93m (FY22: £93m) and Retail other: £8m (FY22: £25m) includes an adjustment applied to customers considered most vulnerable to affordability pressures. This adjustment is predominantly held in Stage 2 in line with customer risk profiles. Reduction within Retail other is primarily driven by re-scoping for customers remaining resilient to affordability headwinds.

● Corporate loans: £98m (FY22: £301m) includes an adjustment of £86m to reflect possible cross default risk on Barclays’ lending in respect of clients who have taken bounce back loans and £12m for SME exposures considered most at risk from inflationary concerns, supply chain constraints and consumer demand headwinds. The reduction of £(203)m is primarily informed by retirement of adjustment for high risk sectors following a granular credit risk assessment for qualifying exposures, and re-build of certain CIB models which more appropriately capture downside risk.

Model uncertainty provisions of £50m (FY22: £(106)m) includes:

● Retail credit cards: £50m (FY22: £nil) includes an adjustment to reflect recent changes to certain macroeconomic variables to more appropriately capture the provision impact.

● Previously held adjustment of £(106)m within Corporate loans to correct for model oversensitivity has been retired following the re-build of certain CIB models which more appropriately capture the macroeconomic outlook.

Other adjustments

Other adjustments are operational in nature and are expected to remain in place until they can be reflected in the underlying models. These adjustments result from data limitations and model performance related issues identified through model monitoring and other established governance processes.

Other adjustments of £359m (FY22: £208m) includes:

● Retail mortgages: £116m (FY22: £85m) primarily include adjustments informed by model monitoring and an adjustment for the definition of default under the Capital Requirements Regulation. The increase is predominantly driven by resizing of model monitoring adjustments.

● Retail credit cards: £48m (FY22: £87m) primarily includes an adjustment in the UK for the definition of default under the Capital Requirements Regulation, and an adjustment in the US to the qualitative measures for high-risk account management (HRAM) accounts; partially offset by model monitoring adjustments. The reduction is primarily driven by an adjustment made during the year in the US to limit ECL sensitivity to certain macroeconomic variables partially offset by an adjustment in the UK for recalibration of Loss Given Default (LGD) to reflect revised recovery expectations.

● Retail other: £45m (FY22: £99m) primarily includes an adjustment for the definition of default under the Capital Requirements Regulation and adjustments informed by model monitoring. The reduction is primarily driven by operational model adjustments made during the year within Private Banking and Wealth Management.

● Corporate loans: £150m (FY22: £(63)m) primarily include adjustments within SME informed by model monitoring and definition of default under the Capital Requirements Regulation. Movement of £213m within Corporate loans is primarily driven by the retirement of all CIB legacy adjustments. Management adjustments held in 2022 primarily comprised of an adjustment to limit ECL sensitivity to the macroeconomic variable for Federal Tax Receipts and model monitoring adjustments, which is no longer needed following the re-build of certain CIB models.

Measurement uncertainty

Scenarios used to calculate the Group’s ECL charge were refreshed in Q223 with the Baseline scenario reflecting the latest consensus macroeconomic forecasts available at the time of the scenario refresh. In the Baseline scenario, although the outlook in major economies has improved somewhat (since Q422), the full effect of the inflation shock and rising rates is lagged and so contributes to a further squeeze of household finances over the coming quarters, posing downside risks to GDP. UK and US unemployment rates increase only gradually in the coming quarters, peaking at 4.5% in Q424 and 4.7% in Q224 respectively. Central banks continue raising interest rates, with both the UK bank rate and the US federal funds rate peaking at 5.25% during 2023.

The Downside 2 scenario is broadly aligned to the previous scenario refresh. Inflation rates rise again as energy prices suddenly surge again amid renewed geopolitical risks. Inflation becomes entrenched and inflation expectations go up, contributing to higher pressure on wage growth. Central banks are forced to raise interest rates sharply with the UK bank rate reaching 8% and the US federal funds rate peaking at 7%. Weakened businesses lay off workers and consumers stop spending exacerbating the downward stress. Unemployment peaks at 8.5% in the UK and 9.8% in the US. Given already stretched valuations, the sharp increase in borrowing costs sees house prices decrease significantly. In the Upside scenarios, lower energy prices add downward pressure on prices globally, while recovering labour force participation limits wage growth. As a result of easing inflation, central banks lower interest rates to support the economic recovery.

The methodology for estimating scenario probability weights involves simulating a range of future paths for UK and US GDP using historical data with the five scenarios mapped against the distribution of these future paths. The median is centred around the Baseline with scenarios further from the Baseline attracting a lower weighting before the five weights are normalised to total 100%. The decrease in the Downside weightings and the increase in the Upside weightings reflected the improving economic outlook which moved the Baseline UK/US GDP paths closer to the Upside scenarios. For further details see page 38.

The economic uncertainty adjustments of £0.3bn (2022: £0.3bn) have been applied as overlays to the modelled ECL output. These adjustments consist of a customer and client uncertainty provision of £0.2bn (2022: £0.4bn) which has been applied to customers and clients considered most vulnerable to affordability pressures, and a model uncertainty adjustment of £0.1bn (2022: £(0.1)bn). For further details see page 36.

The following tables show the key macroeconomic variables used in the five scenarios (5 year annual paths) and the probability weights applied to each scenario.

1	Model exposures are allocated to a stage based on an individual scenario rather than a probability-weighted approach as required for Barclays reported impairment allowances. As a result, it is not possible to back solve the final reported weighted ECL from individual scenarios given balances may be assigned to a different stage dependent on the scenario.
2	For Retail credit cards, Retail other and Corporate loans, the model exposure movement between stages 1 and 2 across scenarios differs due to additional impacts from the undrawn exposure.
3	Debt securities and other excludes Treasury exposures since these are non-modelled.
4	Model exposures allocated to Stage 3 does not change in any of the scenarios as the transition criteria relies only on an observable evidence of default as at 30 June 2023 and not on macroeconomic scenario.
5	Material corporate loan defaults are individually assessed across different recovery strategies. As a result, ECL of £420m is reported as an individually assessed impairment in the reconciliation table.

The use of five scenarios with associated weightings results in a total weighted ECL uplift from the Baseline ECL of 2.1%.

Retail mortgages: Total weighted ECL of £379m represents a 9.9% increase over the Baseline ECL (£345m) with coverage ratios remaining steady across the Upside scenarios, Baseline and Downside 1 scenario. Under the Downside 2 scenario, total ECL increases to £804m driven by a significant fall in UK HPI.

Retail credit cards: Total weighted ECL of £3,037m is broadly aligned to the Baseline ECL (£3,019m). Total ECL increases to £3,545m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by an increase in UK unemployment rate.

Retail other: Total weighted ECL of £327m is aligned to the Baseline ECL (£324m). Total ECL increases to £388m under the Downside 2 scenario, largely driven by increase in UK unemployment rate.

Corporate loans: Total weighted ECL of £917m represents a 4.7% increase over the Baseline ECL (£876m). Total ECL increases to £1,801m under Downside 2 scenario, driven by decrease in UK GDP and US GDP.

Debt securities and other: Total weighted ECL of £56m is broadly aligned to the Baseline ECL (£55m). Total ECL increases to £82m under the Downside 2 scenario.

1	Model exposures are allocated to a stage based on an individual scenario rather than a probability-weighted approach, as required for Barclays reported impairment allowances. As a result, it is not possible to back solve the final reported weighted ECL from individual scenarios given balances may be assigned to a different stage dependent on the scenario.
2	For Retail credit cards, Retail other and Corporate loans, the model exposure movement between stages 1 and 2 across scenarios differs due to additional impacts from the undrawn exposure.
3	Debt securities and other excludes Treasury exposures since these are non-modelled.
4	Model exposures allocated to Stage 3 does not change in any of the scenarios as the transition criteria relies only on an observable evidence of default as at 31 December 2022 and not on macroeconomic scenario.
5	Material corporate loan defaults are individually assessed across different recovery strategies. As a result, ECL of £434m is reported as an individually assessed impairment in the reconciliation table

1 Portfolio marked to market based on the most updated valuation including recovery book balances. Updated valuations reflect the application of the latest HPI available as at 30 June 2023.

New lending reduced 11% to £12.5bn (H122: £14.1bn), mainly driven by economic conditions that resulted in general mortgage market suppression, including higher mortgage payments as rates continued to rise and increased cost of living factors in line with inflation. The reduction in new home loan proportion of >90% LTV was driven by credit tightening actions taken in the period and the impact from the withdrawal of the Government Help to Buy scheme.

Head Office: Italian home loans and advances at amortised cost reduced to £4.0bn (2022: £4.5bn) and continue to run off since new bookings ceased in 2016. The portfolio is secured on residential property with an average balance weighted mark to market LTV of 56.6% (2022: 58.8%). 90 day arrears increased to 1.6% (2022: 1.2%) due to deterioration caused by affordability stress related to rising inflation and interest rates. The gross charge-off rate was stable at 0.6% (2022: 0.6%).

Retail credit cards and Retail other

The principal portfolios listed below accounted for 91% (December 2022: 85%) of the Group’s total credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending.

UK personal loans: 30 days arrears rates have marginally increased to 1.5% (Q422: 1.4%) whilst 90 days arrears rate remained stable at 0.6% (Q422: 0.6%). Total exposure decreased to £3.7bn due to lower demand and prudent lending strategies. The annualised gross and net write off rates decreased by 2.8% and 2.7% respectively, due to the impact of lower historical delinquency flows.

Barclays Partner Finance: 30 day and 90 days arrears rate remain stable at 0.5% (Q422: 0.5%) and 0.2% (Q422: 0.2%) respectively, with total exposure stable at £2.6bn. Both the annualised gross and net write off rates decreased by 0.1%

US cards: Balances increased 2% in USD as consumer spending remained strong, however movement in the USD/GBP exchange rate resulted in a decrease in reported balances. 30 day arrears rates increased to 2.4% (Q422: 2.2%) due to the continued normalisation of customer behaviour, though rates remain below pre-pandemic levels. Write-off rates increased due to normalisation and as the impact of Gap portfolio write-offs lagging the portfolio acquisition and building to steady state levels.

Germany consumer lending: 30 day arrears rate remain at 1.7% (Q422: 1.7%) despite increase of macroeconomic uncertainty in Germany.

Government supported loans

Since the COVID-19 pandemic Barclays has supported its customers and clients by participating in theUK government's Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS), Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) and the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS).

The BBLS and CBILS schemes were launched to provide financial support to smaller and medium-sized businesses and CLBILS for larger businesses in the UK who may experience financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The RLS aims to help UK businesses access finance as they recover and grow following the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans are guaranteed by the government at 100% for BBLS and 80% for CBILS, CLBILS and RLS (70% for RLS issued post January 1, 2022) as at the balance sheet date.

In instances where Barclays has assessed the BBLS exposure to have not met strict assessment criteria, no claim has been made against the government guarantee resulting in an impairment allowance against these loans of £34m (December 2022: £33m) as at the balance sheet date. The remaining balance represents impairment allowance against the CBILS & CLBILS which are 80% guaranteed by government.

Additionally, while the government supported loans are covered by guarantees, many BBLS customers have other financing arrangements with Barclays which are not covered by the government guarantee. Noting the elevated levels of delinquency across the BBLS population, Barclays has continued to apply an adjustment of £0.1bn to BBLS customers outside the scheme.

Analysis of management value at risk (VaR)

The table below shows the total management VaR on a diversified basis by asset class. Total management VaR includes all trading positions in Barclays Bank Group and it is calculated with a one-day holding period. VaR limits are applied to total management VaR and by asset class. Additionally, the market risk management function applies VaR sub-limits to material businesses and trading desks.

1 Diversification effects recognise that forecast losses from different assets or businesses are unlikely to occur concurrently, hence the expected aggregate loss is lower than the sum of the expected losses from each area. Historical correlations between losses are taken into account in making these assessments. 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

Average Management VaR was stable at £45m (H222: £44m) and the range narrowed. Management VaR decreased in H123 from a high of £73m in November 2022, driven by a reduction in funded, fair value leverage loan exposure in Investment Banking and lower volatility. Market volatility and credit spread levels declined in H123 as geopolitical tensions eased, inflation decreased and the pace of interest rate rises moderated.

Treasury and Capital Risk

The Group has established a comprehensive set of policies, standards and controls for managing its liquidity risk; together these set out the requirements for Barclays’ liquidity risk framework. The liquidity risk framework meets the PRA standards and enables Barclays to maintain liquidity resources that are sufficient in amount and quality, and a funding profile that is appropriate to meet the Group’s Liquidity Risk Appetite. The liquidity risk framework is delivered via a combination of policy formation, review and challenge, governance, analysis, stress testing, limit setting and monitoring.

Liquidity risk stress testing

The Internal Liquidity Stress Tests (ILST) measure the potential contractual and contingent stress outflows under a range of scenarios, which are then used to determine the size of the liquidity pool that is immediately available to meet anticipated outflows if a stress occurs. The short-term scenarios include a 30 day Barclays-specific stress event, a 90 day market-wide stress event and a 30 day combined scenario consisting of both a Barclays specific and market-wide stress event. The Group also runs a liquidity stress test which measures the anticipated outflows over a 12 month market-wide scenario.

The LCR requirement takes into account the relative stability of different sources of funding and potential incremental funding requirements in a stress. The LCR is designed to promote short-term resilience of a bank’s liquidity risk profile by holding sufficient high quality liquid assets to survive an acute stress scenario lasting for 30 days.

As at 30 June 2023 the spot LCR was 158% (December 2022: £165%), and the average LCR (trailing average of last twelve month ends) was 157%. The Group held eligible liquid assets in excess of 100% of net stress outflows to its internal and external regulatory requirements.

Net Stable Funding Ratio

The external NSFR metric requires banks to maintain a stable funding profile taking into account both on and certain off balance sheet exposures over a medium to long term period. The ratio is defined as the Available Stable Funding (capital and certain liabilities which are treated as stable sources of funding) relative to the Required Stable Funding (assets on balance sheet and certain off balance sheet exposures). The NSFR (average of last four quarter ends) as at 30 June 2023 was 139%, which was a surplus above requirements of £166bn.

As part of the liquidity risk appetite, Barclays establishes minimum LCR, NSFR and internal liquidity stress test limits. The Group plans to maintain its surplus to the internal and regulatory requirements at an efficient level. Risks to market funding conditions, the Group’s liquidity position and funding profile are assessed continuously, and actions are taken to manage the size of the liquidity pool and the funding profile as appropriate.

1	The LCR eligible HQLA is adjusted for operational restrictions upon consolidation under Article 8 of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio section of the PRA rulebook (CRR) such as trapped liquidity within Barclays subsidiaries. It also reflects differences in eligibility of assets between the LCR and Barclays’ Liquidity Pool.
2	Includes cash held at central banks and surplus cash at central banks related to payment schemes. Over 98% (December 2022: over 99%) was placed with the Bank of England, US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and Swiss National Bank.
3	Of which over 78% (December 2022: over 79%) comprised UK, US, French, German, Japanese, Swiss and Dutch securities.

The Group liquidity pool increased to £331bn as at June 2023 (December 2022: £318bn) driven by deposit growth. During 2023, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from £321bn to £342bn (2022: £309bn to £359bn), and the month-end average balance was £331bn (2022: £331bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and is not used to support payment or clearing requirements. Such requirements are treated as part of our regular business funding. The liquidity pool represents readily accessible funds to meet potential cash outflows during stress periods.

As at 30 June 2023, 65% (December 2022: 60%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC, 21% (December 2022: 25%) in Barclays Bank UK PLC and 9% (December 2022: 9%) in Barclays Bank Ireland PLC. The residual portion of the liquidity pool is held outside of these entities, predominantly in US subsidiaries, to meet entity-specific stress outflows and local regulatory requirements. To the extent the use of this residual portion of the liquidity pool is restricted due to local regulatory requirements, it is assumed to be unavailable to the rest of the Group in calculating the LCR.

The composition of the pool is subject to limits set by the Board and the independent liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk functions. In addition, the investment of the liquidity pool is monitored for concentration by issuer, currency and asset type. Given returns generated by these highly liquid assets, the risk and reward profile is continuously managed.

Funding structure and funding relationships

The basis for liquidity risk management is a funding structure that reduces the probability of a liquidity stress leading to an inability to meet funding obligations as they fall due. The Group’s overall funding strategy is to develop a diversified funding base (geographically, by type and by counterparty) and maintain access to a variety of alternative funding sources, to provide protection against unexpected fluctuations, while minimising the cost of funding.

Within this, the Group aims to align the sources and uses of funding. As such, retail and corporate loans and advances are largely funded by deposits in the relevant entities, with the surplus primarily funding the liquidity pool. The majority of reverse repurchase agreements are matched by repurchase agreements. Derivative liabilities and assets are largely matched. A substantial proportion of balance sheet derivative positions qualify for counterparty netting and the remaining portions are largely offset when netted against cash collateral received and paid. Wholesale debt and equity is used to fund residual assets.

These funding relationships as at 30 June 2023 are summarised below:

Composition of wholesale funding

Wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was £183.3bn (December 2022: £184.0bn). In 2023, the Group issued £7.1bn of MREL eligible instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in a range of tenors and currencies.

Our operating companies also access wholesale funding markets to maintain their stable and diversified funding bases. Barclays Bank PLC continued to issue in the shorter-term and medium-term notes markets. In addition, Barclays Bank UK PLC continued to issue in the shorter-term markets and maintains active secured funding programmes.

Wholesale funding of £73.1bn (December 2022: £72.5bn) matures in less than one year, representing 40% (December 2022: 39%) of total wholesale funding outstanding. This includes £17.9bn (December 2022: £15.0bn) related to term funding1.

Credit ratings

In addition to monitoring and managing key metrics related to the financial strength of the Group, Barclays also solicits independent credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s Global (S&P), Moody’s, Fitch, and Rating and Investment Information (R&I). These ratings assess the creditworthiness of the Group, its subsidiaries and its branches, and are based on reviews of a broad range of business and financial attributes including capital strength, profitability, funding, liquidity, asset quality, strategy and governance.

In March 2023, Moody’s upgraded Barclays PLC’s long-term rating by one notch to Baa1 and reverted the outlook to stable, reflecting Moody's expectation that the Group’s earnings will be higher, more diversified and more sustainable than before, while asset risk will remain broadly stable and capital and liquidity will remain strong. This followed the review for upgrade that had been placed on Barclays PLC in December 2022. Moody’s also revised Barclays Bank PLC’s outlook to stable from negative, reflecting Moody’s expectation that the Bank’s capital and liquidity will remain strong and whilst profitability will reduce from the exceptional levels of the last couple of years for capital markets and investment banking, it will remain sound due to improving income from other businesses and lower litigation and conduct costs.

In May 2023, S&P upgraded all Barclays rated entities by one notch and reverted the outlooks to stable, reflecting S&P’s view that Barclays PLC's diversified international banking franchise has performed well against a difficult economic and financial backdrop and S&Ps expectation that Barclays PLC will generate solid earnings over the next 12-24 months, even as interest rates approach their peak. This action upgraded Barclays PLC’s long-term rating to BBB+ and Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC’s long-term ratings to A+.

In September 2022, Fitch affirmed all ratings for Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC.

Barclays also solicits issuer ratings from R&I and the ratings of A for Barclays PLC and A+ for Barclays Bank PLC were affirmed in November 2022 with stable outlooks.

A credit rating downgrade could result in outflows to meet collateral requirements on existing contracts. Outflows related to credit rating downgrades are included in the ILST scenarios and a portion of the liquidity pool is held against this risk. Credit ratings downgrades could also result in reduced funding capacity and increased funding costs.

The contractual collateral requirement following one- and two-notch long-term and associated short-term downgrades across all credit rating agencies, would result in outflows of £1bn and £3bn respectively on derivative contracts and other off balance sheet products, and are provided for in determining an appropriate liquidity pool size given the Group’s liquidity risk appetite. These numbers do not assume any management or restructuring actions that could be taken to reduce posting requirements.

Regulatory minimum requirements

Capital

The Group’s Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 is 11.4% 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 2.4% Pillar 2A requirement and a 0.5% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).

The Group’s CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group has exposures. On 13 December 2021, the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) announced the re-introduction of a CCyB rate of 1% for UK exposures with effect from 13 December 2022. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material. Overall, this results in a 0.5% CCyB for the Group. On 5 July 2022, the FPC announced that the UK CCyB rate will be increased from 1% to 2% with effect from 5 July 2023.

The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Requirement is 4.3% of which at least 56.25% needs to be met with CET1 capital, equating to 2.4% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement, based on a point in time assessment, has been set as a proportion of RWAs and is subject to at least annual review.

The Group’s CET1 target ratio of 13-14% takes into account headroom above requirements which includes a confidential institution-specific PRA buffer. The Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements including the PRA buffer.

Leverage

The Group is subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.0%. 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 Tier 1 (T1) capital, 75% of the minimum requirement, equating to 2.4%, 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 £6.2bn and against the 0.2% CCLB was £2.4bn.

The Group is also 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.

MREL

The Group is required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.3% Pillar 2A equating to 24.7% of RWAs; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. In addition, the higher of regulatory capital and leverage buffers apply. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the buffers, meaning that the buffers, including the above mentioned confidential institution-specific PRA buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

In the disclosures that follow, references to CRR, as amended by CRR II, mean the capital regulatory requirements, as they form part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended.

CET1 capital decreased £0.2bn to £46.6bn (December 2022: £46.9bn).

£3.6bn of capital generated from profit was partially offset by distributions of £1.6bn comprising:
●	£0.6bn accrual towards a FY23 dividend
●	£0.5bn of buybacks announced with FY22 results
●	£0.5bn of equity coupons paid and foreseen
Other significant movements in the period were:
●	£1.2bn decrease in the currency translation reserve driven by the strengthening of GBP against USD since December 2022
●	£0.4bn increase in the goodwill and intangibles deduction primarily as a result of the acquisition of KMC
●	£0.5bn decrease in IFRS 9 transitional relief primarily due to the relief applied to the pre-2020 impairment charge reducing to 0% in 2023 from 25% in 2022 and the relief applied to the post-2022 impairment charge reducing to 50% in 2023 from 75% in 2022.

Credit risk RWAs decreased £2.2bn:
●	A £2.2bn increase in book quality RWAs primarily driven by changes in risk parameters and HPI refresh within Barclays UK
●	A £2.6bn decrease in model updates primarily driven by capital LGD model update for the mortgage portfolio to reflect the significant decrease in repossession volume during and post the COVID pandemic
●	A £2.5bn increase in methodology and policy primarily driven by the recalibration of the post model adjustment (PMA) introduced to address the IRB roadmap changes
●	A £5.8bn decrease in FX primarily due to the strengthening of GBP against USD since December 2022
Counterparty Credit risk RWAs increased £0.2bn:
●	A £2.2bn increase in book size primarily due to an increase in trading activity within derivatives

Fully loaded UK leverage ratios are calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II.

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% (December 2022: 5.3%) primarily due to a £53.7bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,183.7bn (December 2022: £1,130.0bn). This is largely driven by increased trading and client activity within Global Markets.

Independent Review Report to Barclays PLC

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Barclays PLC (“the Company” or "the Group") to review the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2023 which comprises:

● the condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended;

● the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2023;

● the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended;

● the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended; and

● the related explanatory notes.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted for use in the UK and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (“the DTR”) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (“the UK FCA”).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“ISRE (UK) 2410”) issued for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. We read the other information contained in the Interim Results Announcement and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting, or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not been appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern, and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the Group will continue in operation.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Interim Results Announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Results Announcement in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the Barclays PLC Group are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.

The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the Interim Results Announcement in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted for use in the UK.

In preparing the condensed set of financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement based on our review. Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report.

The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Financial Statement Notes

1.

Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("the financial statements") for the six months ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the UK.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 were prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRICs) as issued by the IASB and adopted by the UK.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used in the Barclays PLC Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.

1.

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the Directors are satisfied that the Group and parent company have the resources to continue in business for a period of at least 12 months from approval of the interim financial statements. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered a wide range of information relating to present and future conditions and includes a review of a working capital report (WCR). The WCR is used by the Directors to assess the future performance of the business and that it has the resources in place that are required to meet its ongoing regulatory requirements. The WCR also includes an assessment of the impact of internally generated stress testing scenarios on the liquidity and capital requirement forecasts. The stress tests used were based upon an assessment of reasonably possible downside economic scenarios that the Group could experience.

The WCR indicated that the Group had sufficient capital in place to support its future business requirements and remained above its regulatory minimum requirements in the internal stress scenarios.

A half year dividend for 2023 of 2.7p (H122: 2.25p) per ordinary share will be paid on 15 September 2023 to shareholders on the register on 11 August 2023.

For qualifying American Depositary Receipt (ADR) holders, the half year dividend of 2.7p per ordinary share becomes 10.8p per American Depositary Share (representing 4 shares). The depositary bank will post the half year dividend on 15 September 2023 to ADR holders on the record at close of business on 11 August 2023.

The Directors have confirmed their intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £750m after the balance sheet date. The share buyback is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2023. The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2023 do not reflect the impact of the proposed share buyback, which will be accounted for as and when shares are repurchased by the Company.

The IFRS netting posted against derivative assets was £74bn including £16bn of cash collateral netted (December 2022: £76bn including £15bn cash collateral netted) and £74bn for liabilities including £16bn of cash collateral netted (December 2022: £77bn including £15bn of cash collateral netted). Derivative asset exposures would be £237bn (December 2022: £273bn) 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 £34bn (December 2022: £35bn). Similarly, derivative liabilities would be £228bn (December 2022: £264bn) lower reflecting counterparty netting and cash collateral placed of £24bn (December 2022: £25bn). In addition, non-cash collateral of £11bn (December 2022: £11bn) was held in respect of derivative assets and £3bn (December 2022: £1bn) was placed in respect of derivative liabilities. Collateral amounts are limited to net on balance sheet exposure so as to not include over-collateralisation.

Fair value of financial instruments

This section should be read in conjunction with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022 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

During the period, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 (period ended 31 December 2022: no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2).

Level 3 movement analysis

The following table summarises the movements in the balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities 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 period.

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.

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.

Sensitivities are dynamically calculated on a monthly basis. The calculation is based on range or spread data of a reliable reference source or a scenario based on relevant market analysis alongside the impact of using alternative models. Sensitivities are calculated without reflecting the impact of any diversification in the portfolio.

Current year valuation and sensitivity methodologies are consistent with those described within Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022.

1 Other includes commercial real estate loans, funds and fund-linked products, asset backed loans, asset backed securities, equity cash products, issued debt, commercial paper, Government and government sponsored debt and investment property.

The effect of stressing unobservable inputs to a range of reasonably possible alternatives, alongside considering the impact of using alternative models, would be to increase fair values by up to £1,097m (December 2022: £1,076m) or to decrease fair values by up to £1,523m (December 2022: £1,328m) with substantially all the potential effect impacting profit and loss rather than reserves.

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 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022.

Fair value adjustments

Key balance sheet valuation adjustments are quantified below:

	As at 30.06.23	As at 31.12.22
	£m	£m
Exit price adjustments derived from market bid-offer spreads	(554)	(577)
Uncollateralised derivative funding	(24)	(11)
Derivative credit valuation adjustments	(241)	(319)
Derivative debit valuation adjustments	196	208

● Exit price adjustments derived from market bid-offer spreads decreased by £23m to £554m

● Uncollateralised derivative funding increased by £13m to £24m

● Derivative credit valuation adjustments decreased by £78m to £241m as a result of tightening input counterparty credit spreads

● Derivative debit valuation adjustments decreased by £12m to £196m

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 £197m (December 2022: £126m) for financial instruments measured at fair value and £209m (December 2022: £216m) for financial instruments carried at amortised cost. There are additions and FX gains of £107m (December 2022: £59m) and amortisation and releases of £36m (December 2022: £66m) for financial instruments measured at fair value and additions of £nil (December 2022: £nil) and amortisation and releases of £7m (December 2022: £14m) for financial instruments carried at amortised cost.

Third party credit enhancements

Structured and brokered certificates of deposit issued by the 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 IFRS 9 fair value option includes this third party credit enhancement. The on balance sheet value of these brokered certificates of deposit amounted to £4,648m (December 2022: £5,197m).

Comparison of carrying amounts and fair values for assets and liabilities not held at fair value

Valuation methodologies employed in calculating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost are consistent with those described within Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022.

The following table summarises the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost on the Group’s balance sheet.

	As at 30.06.23		As at 31.12.22
	Carrying amount	Fair value	Carrying amount	Fair value
Financial assets	£m	£m	£m	£m

Goodwill and intangible assets

The Group performed an impairment review to assess the recoverability of its goodwill and intangible asset balances as at 31 December 2022. The outcome of this review is disclosed on pages 473-476 of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022. No impairment was recognised as a result of the review as value in use exceeded carrying amount. The increased goodwill in the period is primarily a result of the Kensington Mortgage Company acquisition in March 2023. A review of the Group's goodwill and intangible assets as at 30 June 2023 did not identify any factors indicating impairment.

In May 2023, Barclays Bank UK PLC sold the entire issued share capital of Barclays Asset Management Limited and Barclays Investment Solutions Limited along with certain other assets and liabilities, business guarantees and business contracts (together with the transfer of associated employees of Barclays Bank UK PLC) to Barclays Bank PLC. As a result of this transfer, Intangible assets of approximately £0.2bn held within Barclays Execution Services Limited has been allocated from Personal Banking to Private Banking.

Retirement benefits

As at 30 June 2023, the Group’s IAS 19 net pension surplus across all schemes was £3.9bn (December 2022: £4.5bn). The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had an IAS 19 net pension surplus of £4.1bn (December 2022: £4.7bn). The movement for the UKRF was mainly driven by: actual price inflation being higher than assumed, future long-term price inflation expected to be higher than assumed at the start of the year, assets underperforming relative to the discount rate, partially offset by an increase in discount rate.

UKRF funding valuations

The latest triennial actuarial valuation of the UKRF with an effective date of 30 September 2022 was completed in February 2023. The valuation showed a funding surplus of £2bn (2021 update: £0.6bn surplus).

As the UKRF had a funding surplus at the valuation date, the 2023 deficit reduction contribution (£286m), agreed as part of the 2019 triennial actuarial valuation, is no longer required, and no recovery plan is needed.

Currency translation reserve

The currency translation reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on the retranslation of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, net of the effects of hedging.

As at 30 June 2023, there was a cumulative gain of £3,599m (December 2022: £4,772m gain) in the currency translation reserve, a loss during the period of £1,173m. This principally reflects the strengthening of GBP against USD and EUR during the period.

Fair value through other comprehensive income reserve

The fair value through other comprehensive income reserve represents the total of unrealised gains and losses on fair value through other comprehensive income investments since initial recognition.

As at 30 June 2023, there was a cumulative loss of £1,485m (December 2022: £1,560m loss) in the reserve, a gain during the period of £75m. This is principally driven by a gain of £131m from the increase in fair value of bonds (net of hedges) due to decreasing bond yields which was partially offset by a net gain of £25m transferred to the income statement and a tax charge of £31m.

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 2023, there was a cumulative loss of £7,990m (December 2022: £7,235m loss) in the cash flow hedging reserve, a loss during the period of £755m. This principally reflects a £1,793m loss from the fair value movement of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes as major interest rate forward curves increased offset by £741m of losses transferred to the income statement and a tax credit of £297m.

Own credit reserve

The own credit reserve reflects the cumulative own credit gains and losses on financial liabilities at fair value. Amounts in the own credit reserve are not recycled to profit or loss in future periods.

As at 30 June 2023, there was a cumulative loss of £27m (December 2022: £467m gain) in the own credit reserve, a loss of £494m during the period. This principally reflects a £682m loss from tightening of credit spreads partially offset by tax credit of £188m.

Other reserves and treasury shares

Other reserves relate to redeemed ordinary and preference shares issued by the Group. Treasury shares relate to Barclays PLC shares held principally in relation to the Group’s various share schemes.

As at 30 June 2023, there was a balance of £1,446m (December 2022: £1,364m gain). This principally reflects an increase of £86m due to the repurchase of 343m shares as part of the share buybacks conducted in 2023 offset by a £4m movement in the treasury shares balance held in relation to employee share schemes.

Legal, competition and regulatory matters

The Group faces legal, competition and regulatory challenges, many of which are beyond our control. The extent of the impact 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 recognition of provisions in relation to such matters involves critical accounting estimates and judgments in accordance with the relevant accounting policies applicable to Note 12, Provisions. We have not disclosed an estimate of the potential financial impact or effect on the Group of contingent liabilities where it is not currently practicable to do so. Various matters detailed in this note seek damages of an unspecified amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amounts do not necessarily reflect the Group’s potential financial exposure in respect of those matters.

Matters are ordered under headings corresponding to the financial statements in which they are disclosed.

Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC

Investigations into certain advisory services agreements

FCA proceedings

In 2008, Barclays Bank PLC and Qatar Holdings LLC entered into two advisory service agreements (the Agreements). The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) conducted an investigation into whether the Agreements may have related to Barclays PLC’s capital raisings in June and November 2008 (the Capital Raisings) and therefore should have been disclosed in the announcements or public documents relating to the Capital Raisings. In 2013, the FCA issued warning notices (the Warning Notices) finding that Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC acted recklessly and in breach of certain disclosure-related listing rules, and that Barclays PLC was also in breach of Listing Principle 3. The financial penalty provided in the Warning Notices was £50m. Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC contested the findings. In September 2022, the FCA’s Regulatory Decisions Committee (RDC) issued Decision Notices finding that Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC breached certain disclosure-related listing rules. The RDC also found that in relation to the disclosures made in the Capital Raising of November 2008, Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC acted recklessly, and that Barclays PLC breached Listing Principle 3. The RDC upheld the combined penalty of £50m on Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC, the same penalty as in the Warning Notices. Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC have referred the RDC’s findings to the Upper Tribunal for reconsideration.

Investigations into LIBOR and other benchmarks and related civil actions

Regulators and law enforcement agencies, including certain competition authorities, from a number of governments have conducted investigations relating to Barclays Bank PLC’s involvement in allegedly manipulating certain financial benchmarks, such as LIBOR. Various individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to the alleged manipulation of LIBOR and/or other benchmarks.

USD LIBOR civil actions

The majority of the USD LIBOR cases, which have been filed in various US jurisdictions, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the US District Court in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). The complaints are substantially similar and allege, among other things, that Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) and other financial institutions individually and collectively violated provisions of the US Sherman Antitrust Act (Antitrust Act), the US Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), the US Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various state laws by manipulating USD LIBOR rates.

Putative class actions and individual actions seek unspecified damages with the exception of one lawsuit, in which the plaintiffs are seeking no less than $100m in actual damages and additional punitive damages against all defendants, including Barclays Bank PLC. Some of the lawsuits also seek trebling of damages under the Antitrust Act and RICO. Barclays Bank PLC has previously settled certain claims. The financial impact of these settlements is not material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Sterling LIBOR civil actions

In 2016, two putative class actions filed in the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other Sterling LIBOR panel banks alleging, among other things, that the defendants manipulated the Sterling LIBOR rate in violation of the Antitrust Act, CEA and RICO, were consolidated. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the claims was granted in 2018. The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal.

Japanese Yen LIBOR civil actions

In 2012, a putative class action was filed in the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC and other Japanese Yen LIBOR panel banks by a lead plaintiff involved in exchange-traded derivatives and members of the Japanese Bankers Association’s Euroyen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (Euroyen TIBOR) panel. The complaint alleges, among other things, manipulation of the Euroyen TIBOR and Yen LIBOR rates and breaches of the CEA and the Antitrust Act. In 2014, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s antitrust claims, and, in 2020, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s remaining CEA claims.

In 2015, a second putative class action, making similar allegations to the above class action, was filed in the SDNY against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI. Barclays and the plaintiffs reached a settlement of $17.75m for both actions, which received final court approval in March 2023. This matter is now concluded.

ICE LIBOR civil action

In August 2020, an action related to the LIBOR benchmark administered by the Intercontinental Exchange Inc. and certain of its affiliates (ICE) was filed by a group of individual plaintiffs in the US District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of individual borrowers and consumers of loans and credit cards with variable interest rates linked to USD ICE LIBOR. The plaintiffs’ motion seeking, among other things, preliminary and permanent injunctions to enjoin the defendants from continuing to set LIBOR or enforce any financial instrument that relies in whole or in part on USD LIBOR was denied. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the case was granted in September 2022. The plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint, which the defendants have moved to dismiss.

Non-US benchmarks civil actions

There remains one claim, issued in 2017, against Barclays Bank PLC and other banks in the UK in connection with alleged manipulation of LIBOR. Proceedings have also been brought in a number of other jurisdictions in Europe, Argentina and Israel relating to alleged manipulation of LIBOR and EURIBOR. Additional proceedings in other jurisdictions may be brought in the future.

Credit Default Swap civil action

A putative antitrust class action is pending in New Mexico federal court against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and various other financial institutions. The plaintiffs, the New Mexico State Investment Council and certain New Mexico pension funds, allege that the defendants conspired to manipulate the benchmark price used to value Credit Default Swap (CDS) contracts at settlement (i.e. the CDS final auction price). The plaintiffs allege violations of US antitrust laws and the CEA, and unjust enrichment under state law. The defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied in June 2023.

Foreign Exchange investigations and related civil actions

The Group has been the subject of investigations in various jurisdictions in relation to certain sales and trading practices in the Foreign Exchange market. Settlements were reached in various jurisdictions in connection with these investigations, including the EU and US. The financial impact of any remaining ongoing investigations is not expected to be material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position. Various individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to alleged manipulation of Foreign Exchange markets.

US FX opt out civil action

In 2018, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI settled a consolidated action filed in the SDNY, alleging manipulation of Foreign Exchange markets (Consolidated FX Action), for a total amount of $384m. Also in 2018, a group of plaintiffs, who opted out of the Consolidated FX Action, filed a complaint in the SDNY against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other defendants. Some of the plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed in 2020. Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, and BCI have reached a settlement of all claims against them in the matter. A settlement payment was made in April 2023 and the matter is now concluded. The financial impact of this settlement is not material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

US retail basis civil action

In 2015, a putative class action was filed against several international banks, including Barclays PLC and BCI, on behalf of a proposed class of individuals who exchanged currencies on a retail basis at bank branches (Retail Basis Claims). The SDNY has ruled that the Retail Basis Claims are not covered by the settlement agreement in the Consolidated FX Action. The Court subsequently dismissed all Retail Basis Claims against the Group and all other defendants. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The defendants’ motion for summary judgment was granted in March 2023, dismissing the plaintiffs’ remaining claims. The plaintiffs are appealing the decision.

Non-US FX civil actions

Legal proceedings have been brought or are threatened against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and Barclays Execution Services Limited (BX) in connection with alleged manipulation of Foreign Exchange in the UK, a number of other jurisdictions in Europe, Israel, Brazil and Australia. Additional proceedings may be brought in the future.

The above-mentioned proceedings include two purported class actions filed against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BX, BCI and other financial institutions in the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) in 2019. The CAT refused to certify these claims in the first quarter of 2022. In July 2023, the Court of Appeal overturned the CAT’s decision and found that the claims should be certified on an opt out basis. The Court of Appeal upheld the CAT’s determination as to which of the two purported class representatives should be chosen to bring the claim. Subject to any further appeal, only the claim brought by the chosen class representative will now proceed in the CAT. Also in 2019, a separate claim was filed in the UK in the High Court of Justice (High Court), and subsequently transferred to the CAT, by various banks and asset management firms against Barclays Bank PLC and other financial institutions alleging breaches of European and UK competition laws related to FX trading. This claim has been settled as part of the settlement payment referred to under the US FX opt out civil action above and the matter is now concluded.

Metals-related civil actions

A US civil complaint alleging manipulation of the price of silver in violation of the CEA, the Antitrust Act and state antitrust and consumer protection laws was brought by a proposed class of plaintiffs against a number of banks, including Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and BX, and transferred to the SDNY. The complaint was dismissed against these Barclays entities and certain other defendants in 2018, and against the remaining defendants in May 2023. The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal of the complaint against all defendants.

Civil actions have also been filed in Canadian courts against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Canada Inc. and BCI on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs alleging manipulation of gold and silver prices.

US residential mortgage related civil actions

There are two US Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) related civil actions arising from unresolved repurchase requests submitted by Trustees for certain RMBS, alleging breaches of various loan-level representations and warranties (R&Ws) made by Barclays Bank PLC and/or a subsidiary acquired in 2007. In one action, the parties have agreed to settle the litigation. The financial impact of the settlement is not material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position. The other repurchase action is pending.

Government and agency securities civil actions

Treasury auction securities civil actions

Consolidated putative class action complaints filed in US federal court against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other financial institutions under the Antitrust Act and state common law allege that the defendants (i) conspired to manipulate the US Treasury securities market and/or (ii) conspired to prevent the creation of certain platforms by boycotting or threatening to boycott such trading platforms. The court dismissed the consolidated action in March 2021. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint was granted in March 2022. The plaintiffs are appealing this decision.

In addition, certain plaintiffs have filed a related, direct action against BCI and certain other financial institutions, alleging that defendants conspired to fix and manipulate the US Treasury securities market in violation of the Antitrust Act, the CEA and state common law. This action remains stayed.

Supranational, Sovereign and Agency bonds civil actions

Civil antitrust actions have been filed in the SDNY and Federal Court of Canada in Toronto against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI, BX, Barclays Capital Securities Limited and, with respect to the civil action filed in Canada only, Barclays Capital Canada, Inc. and other financial institutions alleging that the defendants conspired to fix prices and restrain competition in the market for US dollar-denominated Supranational, Sovereign and Agency bonds. The SDNY actions were dismissed and these matters are now concluded.

In the Federal Court of Canada action, the parties have reached a settlement in principle, which will require court approval. The financial impact of the settlement is not expected to be material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Variable Rate Demand Obligations civil actions

Civil actions have been filed against Barclays Bank PLC and BCI and other financial institutions alleging the defendants conspired or colluded to artificially inflate interest rates set for Variable Rate Demand Obligations (VRDOs). VRDOs are municipal bonds with interest rates that reset on a periodic basis, most commonly weekly. Two actions in state court have been filed by private plaintiffs on behalf of the states of Illinois and California. Three putative class action complaints have been consolidated in the SDNY. In the consolidated SDNY class action, certain of the plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed in November 2020 and June 2022 and the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is pending. In the California action, the California appeals court reversed the dismissal of the plaintiffs’ claims in April 2023. In the Illinois action, the defendants have reached a settlement in principle with the Attorney General for the State of Illinois to resolve the litigation, which is subject to approval by the court. The financial impact of the settlement is not material to the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Odd-lot corporate bonds antitrust class action

In 2020, BCI, together with other financial institutions, were named as defendants in a putative class action. The complaint alleges a conspiracy to boycott developing electronic trading platforms for odd-lots and price fixing. The plaintiffs demand unspecified money damages. The defendants’ motion to dismiss was granted in 2021 and the plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal.

Interest rate swap and credit default swap US civil actions

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI, together with other financial institutions that act as market makers for interest rate swaps (IRS), are named as defendants in several antitrust class actions which were consolidated in the SDNY in 2016. The complaints allege the defendants conspired to prevent the development of exchanges for IRS and demand unspecified money damages.

In 2018, trueEX LLC filed an antitrust class action in the SDNY against a number of financial institutions including Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI based on similar allegations with respect to trueEX LLC’s development of an IRS platform. In 2017, Tera Group Inc. filed a separate civil antitrust action in the SDNY claiming that certain conduct alleged in the IRS cases also caused the plaintiff to suffer harm with respect to the Credit Default Swaps market. In 2018 and 2019, respectively, the court dismissed certain claims in both cases for unjust enrichment and tortious interference but denied motions to dismiss the federal and state antitrust claims, which remain pending.

BDC Finance L.L.C.

In 2008, BDC Finance L.L.C. (BDC) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (NY Supreme Court), demanding damages of $298m, alleging that Barclays Bank PLC had breached a contract in connection with a portfolio of total return swaps governed by an ISDA Master Agreement (the Master Agreement). Following a trial, the court ruled in 2018 that Barclays Bank PLC was not a defaulting party, which was affirmed on appeal. In April 2021, the trial court entered judgement in favour of Barclays Bank PLC for $3.3m and as yet to be determined legal fees and costs. BDC appealed. In January 2022, the appellate court reversed the trial court’s summary judgment decision in favour of Barclays Bank PLC and remanded the case to the lower court for further proceedings. The parties have filed cross-motions on the scope of trial. The trial has been adjourned pending a decision on the motions and any subsequent appeal.

In 2011, BDC’s investment advisor, BDCM Fund Adviser, LLC and its parent company, Black Diamond Capital Holdings, LLC, also sued Barclays Bank PLC and BCI in Connecticut State Court for unspecified damages allegedly resulting from Barclays Bank PLC’s conduct relating to the Master Agreement, asserting claims for violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and tortious interference with business and prospective business relations.

This case is currently stayed.

Civil actions in respect of the US Anti-Terrorism Act

There are a number of civil actions, on behalf of more than 4,000 plaintiffs, filed in US federal courts in the US District Court in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) and SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC and a number of other banks. The complaints generally allege that Barclays Bank PLC and those banks engaged in a conspiracy to facilitate US dollar-denominated transactions for the Iranian Government and various Iranian banks, which in turn funded acts of terrorism that injured or killed the plaintiffs or the plaintiffs’ family members. The plaintiffs seek to recover damages for pain, suffering and mental anguish under the provisions of the US Anti-Terrorism Act, which allow for the trebling of any proven damages.

The court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss three out of the six actions in the EDNY. The plaintiffs appealed in one action and the dismissal was affirmed, and judgment was entered, in January 2023. The court later gave the plaintiffs until December 2023 to make a motion to vacate the judgment. The plaintiffs have also petitioned for US Supreme Court review. In the other two dismissed actions in the EDNY, the court gave plaintiffs until September 2023 to serve amended complaints. This was also the case for the fourth action in the EDNY. Those actions, as well as the two other actions in the EDNY, are currently stayed. Out of the two actions in the SDNY, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the first action. That action is stayed, and the second SDNY action is stayed pending any appeal on the dismissal of the first.

Shareholder derivative action

In November 2020, a purported Barclays shareholder filed a putative derivative action in New York state court against BCI and a number of current and former members of the Board of Directors of Barclays PLC and senior executives or employees of the Group. The shareholder filed the claim on behalf of nominal defendant Barclays PLC, alleging that the individual defendants harmed the company through breaches of their duties, including under the Companies Act 2006. The plaintiff seeks damages on behalf of Barclays PLC for the losses that Barclays PLC allegedly suffered as a result of these alleged breaches. An amended complaint was filed in April 2021, which BCI and certain other defendants moved to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was granted in April 2022. The plaintiff appealed the decision, and the dismissal was unanimously affirmed in June 2023 by the First Judicial Department in New York. The plaintiff has sought leave to appeal the First Judicial Department’s decision to the New York Court of Appeals.

Derivative transactions civil action

In 2021, Vestia, a Dutch housing association, brought a claim against Barclays Bank PLC in the UK in the High Court in relation to a series of derivative transactions entered into with Barclays Bank PLC between 2008 and 2011, seeking damages of £329m. Barclays Bank PLC is defending the claim and has made a counterclaim.

Skilled person review in relation to historic timeshare loans and associated matters

Clydesdale Financial Services Limited (CFS), which trades as Barclays Partner Finance and houses Barclays’ point-of-sale finance business, was required by the FCA to undertake a skilled person review in 2020 following concerns about historic affordability assessments for certain loans to customers in connection with timeshare purchases. The skilled person review was concluded in 2021. CFS complied fully with the skilled person review requirements, including carrying out certain remediation measures. CFS was not required to conduct a full back book review. Instead, CFS reviewed limited historic lending to ascertain whether its practices caused customer harm and is remediating any examples of harm. This work is expected to be substantially completed during 2023, utilising provisions booked to account for any remediations.

Over-issuance of securities in the US

In March 2022, executive management became aware that Barclays Bank PLC had issued securities materially in excess of the set amount under its US shelf registration statements. As a result, Barclays Bank PLC commenced a rescission offer on 1 August 2022, by which Barclays Bank PLC offered to repurchase relevant affected securities from certain holders, which expired on 12 September 2022. Further, in September 2022, the SEC announced the resolution of its investigation of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC relating to such over-issuance of securities. The Group has engaged with, and responded to inquiries and requests for information from, various other regulators who may seek to impose fines, penalties and/or other sanctions as a result of this matter.

Furthermore, Barclays Bank PLC and/or its affiliates may incur costs and liabilities in relation to private civil claims which have been filed and may face other potential private civil claims, class actions or other enforcement actions in relation to the over-issuance of securities. By way of example, in September 2022, a purported class action claim was filed in the US District Court in Manhattan seeking to hold Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and former and current executives responsible for declines in the prices of Barclays PLC’s American depositary receipts, which the plaintiffs claim occurred as a result of alleged misstatements and omissions in its public disclosures. The defendants have moved to dismiss the case. In addition, holders of a series of ETNs have brought claims against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, and former and current executives and board members in the US alleging, among other things, that Barclays’ failure to disclose that these ETNs were unregistered securities misled investors and that, as a result, Barclays is liable for the holders’ alleged losses following the suspension of further sales and issuances of such series of ETNs. Two such actions are purported class actions that the plaintiffs have moved to consolidate into a single action in federal court in New York.

A contingent liability exists in relation to civil claims or any further enforcement actions taken against Barclays Bank PLC and/or its affiliates, but Barclays Bank PLC is unable to assess the likelihood of liabilities that may arise out of such claims or actions.

Any liabilities, claims or actions in connection with the over-issuance of securities under Barclays Bank PLC’s US shelf registration statements could have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation as a frequent issuer in the securities markets.

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) assessments concerning UK Value Added Tax

In 2018, HMRC issued notices that have the effect of removing certain overseas subsidiaries that have operations in the UK from Barclays’ UK VAT group, in which group supplies between members are generally free from VAT. The notices have retrospective effect and correspond to assessments of £181m (inclusive of interest), of which Barclays would expect to attribute an amount of approximately £128m to Barclays Bank UK PLC and £53m to Barclays Bank PLC. HMRC’s decision has been appealed to the First Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber).

FCA investigation into transaction monitoring

The FCA has been investigating Barclays’ compliance with UK money laundering regulations and the FCA’s rules and Principles for Businesses in an investigation which is focussed on aspects of Barclays’ transaction monitoring in relation to certain business lines now in Barclays Bank UK PLC. Barclays has been co-operating with the investigation and responding to information requests.

Barclays PLC

Alternative trading systems

In 2020, a claim was brought against Barclays PLC in the UK in the High Court by various shareholders regarding Barclays PLC’s share price based on the allegations contained within a complaint by the New York State Attorney General (NYAG) in 2014. Such claim was settled in 2016, as previously disclosed. The more recent claim seeks unquantified damages and Barclays is defending the claim. The NYAG complaint was filed against Barclays PLC and BCI in the NY Supreme Court alleging, among other things, that Barclays PLC and BCI engaged in fraud and deceptive practices in connection with LX, BCI’s SEC-registered alternative trading system.

General

The Group is engaged in various other legal, competition and regulatory matters in the UK, the US and a number of other overseas jurisdictions. It is subject to legal proceedings brought 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 management and protection, intellectual property, money laundering, financial crime, employment, environmental and other statutory and common law issues.

The Group is also subject to enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, investigations and legal and other proceedings by regulators, governmental and other public bodies in connection with (but not limited to) consumer protection measures, compliance with legislation and regulation, wholesale trading activity and other areas of banking and business activities in which the Group is or has been engaged. The Group is cooperating with the relevant authorities and 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, Barclays PLC does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the Group’s 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 (including formerly active matters or those matters arising after the date of this note) will not be material to Barclays PLC’s results, operations or cash flows for a particular period, depending on, among other things, the amount of the loss resulting from the matter(s) and the amount of profit otherwise reported for the reporting period.

Related party transactions

Related party transactions in the half year ended 30 June 2023 were similar in nature to those disclosed in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2022. No related party transactions that have taken place in the half year ended 30 June 2023 have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during this period.

On 1 May 2023, the Wealth Management & Investments business was transferred from Barclays UK to CC&P, please see Other matters on page 7 for more information.

 Interest rate benchmark reform

Following the financial crisis, the reform and replacement of benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR became a priority for global regulators. The FCA and other global regulators instructed market participants to prepare for the cessation of most LIBOR rates after the end of 2021, and to adopt “Risk Free Rates” (RFRs).

Barclays established a Group-wide LIBOR Transition Programme, which aims to drive strategic execution and identify, manage and resolve keys risks and issues as they arise.

Whilst EUR and CHF LIBOR ceased to be published after 31 December 2021, a synthetic version of GBP and JPY LIBOR was made available for certain tenors for a limited period of time to mitigate the risk of widespread disruption to legacy contracts which had not transitioned by end-2021.

● Synthetic JPY LIBOR tenors ceased permanently at the end of 2022 in line with an announcement made by the FCA on 29 September 2022.

● 1- and 6-month synthetic GBP LIBOR tenors ceased permanently after 31 March 2023 in line with the announcement made by the FCA on 29 September 2022.

● 3-month synthetic GBP LIBOR remains available until 31 March 2024 as per an announcement made by the FCA on 23 November 2022.

In addition, GBP LIBOR ICE Swap Rate and JPY LIBOR Tokyo Swap Rate ceased to be published at the end of 2021.

All of the Group’s exposure to JPY LIBOR and JPY LIBOR Tokyo Swap Rate and to 1- and 6-month GBP LIBOR have now been remediated with only residual exposure remaining to 3-month synthetic GBP LIBOR and GBP LIBOR ICE Swap Rate.

For USD LIBOR, certain actively used tenors continued to be published after 2021. However, in line with the US banking regulators’ joint statement, the Group ceased issuing or entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate from 31 December 2021, other than in relation to those allowable use cases set out under the FCA’s prohibition notice (ref 21A). The overnight and 12-month USD LIBOR tenors ceased to be published after 30 June 2023, with synthetic versions of the 1-, 3- and 6-month USD LIBOR tenors made available for a limited period of time until 30 September 2024. The synthetic versions are for use in legacy contracts only, to help ensure an orderly wind-down of USD LIBOR, as outlined in a statement made by the FCA on 3 April 2023.

In addition, the USD LIBOR ICE Swap Rate ceased to be published at the end of June 2023.

During H123, the Barclays Group-wide LIBOR Transition Programme focused on the remediation of its exposure to the benchmarks which ceased at the end of June 2023. The majority of the Group’s exposure to those rates is now considered remediated contractually via central clearing counterparties (CCP) led conversions for cleared derivatives and actively negotiated conversion or insertion of fallbacks to RFRs for other products. In addition to this, whilst active transition and fallback insertion were attempted in most cases, there were also exposures under certain US law governed contracts which were transitioned pursuant to the US Federal Legislation (the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act) at the end of June 2023.

The Group continues to (i) identify, manage and mitigate key risks and issues as they arise, (ii) work with clients and counterparties to remediate any trades which remain on synthetic LIBOR or on the GBP or USD LIBOR ICE Swap Rate and (iii) remain on track to meet the associated industry deadlines.

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

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

The Group’s management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures excluding notable items, included in the table above, provide valuable information to enable users of the financial statements to assess the performance of the Group. The notable items are separately identified within the Group’s results disclosures which, when excluded from Barclays’ statutory financials, provide an underlying profit and loss performance of the Group and enables consistent comparison of performance from one period to another.

These non-IFRS performance measures excluding notable items are included as a reference point only and are not incorporated within any of the key financial metrics used in our Group Targets, which are measured on a statutory basis.
