Q3 2016 Results Announcement

30 September 2016

Performance Highlights

Transatlantic Consumer, Corporate and Investment Bank with Global Reach

Our strategy is on track with good progress year to date

●	Core returns:	●	Core business performed well, with a 4% growth in profit before tax to £4,898m delivering a Core return on tangible equity (RoTE) excluding notable items1 of 10.7%
●	Non-Core rundown:	●	Remain on track to close Non-Core in 2017 with strong progress on business disposals
		●	£10bn reduction in RWAs to £44bn, despite adverse Foreign Exchange (FX) movements
		●	Completed sale of the Barclays Risk Analytics and Index Solutions Ltd. business in Q316, resulting in a pre-tax gain of £535m
●	Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio:	●	CET1 ratio of 11.6% with strong organic capital growth offset by headwinds from the UK Retirement Fund (UKRF) defined benefit pension deficit and £1,000m of provisions for UK customer redress in the nine months to September 2016
		●	On track to meet end-state capital requirements
●	Core costs:	●	On track to meet the £12.8bn 2016 Core cost guidance2 adjusted for FX. Based on an average USD/GBP exchange rate of 1.30 for H216 this equates to £13.0bn
		●	We are reducing the real estate footprint resulting in restructuring costs in Barclays International of £150m in Q316 with a structurally lower cost base going forward
●	Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) sell down:	●	First sale of 12.2% stake completed in May 2016, resulting in a c.10bps benefit to the CET1 ratio
		●	Remain on track to achieve regulatory deconsolidation within 2 to 3 years
●	Holding Company (HoldCo) transition:	●	Progressed the HoldCo transition with £10.9bn equivalent of issuance and £7.4bn equivalent of Operating Company (OpCo) capital and debt bought back or redeemed
		●	Q316 included the redemption of $750m USD preference shares, the second such redemption in 2016, and a £0.6bn equivalent liability management exercise

Strong Core business performance with underlying double digit Return on Tangible Equity

●	Core profit before tax increased 4% to £4,898m reflecting diversification benefits from consumer and wholesale customers and clients, geographies and products, and the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP
●	Double digit Core RoTE of 10.7% (Q315 YTD: 12.9%) excluding notable items based on an increased average tangible equity base of £40bn (Q315 YTD: £36bn) with a basic earnings per share contribution of 19.4p (Q315 YTD: 21.3p) excluding notable items
●	Strong Barclays UK RoTE of 20.0% (Q315 YTD: 23.2%) excluding notable items. Net interest margin (NIM) increased 7bps to 3.63% on increased customer deposit balances, offset by lower interchange fee income in Barclaycard Consumer UK and higher credit impairment charges following a one-off impact from a management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling
●	Double digit Barclays International RoTE of 10.5% (Q315 YTD: 11.5%) excluding notable items. Strong growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments products and encouraging CIB performance, particularly in Q316
●	Group profit before tax decreased 10% to £2,900m driven by the acceleration of Non-Core rundown resulting in a 33% increase in loss before tax to £1,998m
●	Group RoTE decreased to 4.4% (Q315 YTD: 5.8%)
●	Tangible net asset value per share decreased modestly to 287p (June 2016: 289p) in the quarter driven by the UKRF defined benefit pension net assets moving from a £0.1bn surplus to a £1.1bn deficit and £600m of provisions for UK customer redress, partially offset by favourable currency translation reserve movements and profit generated in the period

James E Staley, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

“Our strategic priorities remain: strengthening our Core businesses; closing Barclays Non-Core as fast as possible; progressing the sell down of our stake in Barclays Africa to a point where we can achieve regulatory deconsolidation; eliminating costs in both Core and Non-Core; dealing with legacy issues; and meeting our end state capital requirements. Taken together, the picture in the third quarter is one of strong progress against this agenda. Our Core businesses are performing well, Non-Core rundown is approaching the final lap toward closure, we are on top of costs, and our capital position is resilient with strong reasons for confidence in meeting our end state target.

The growing momentum in attaining our strategic goals means we can feel optimistic of our prospects of completing the restructuring of Barclays – a restructuring to a simplified transatlantic, consumer, corporate and investment bank with the capacity to deliver sustainable high quality returns for shareholders. This quarter has seen us take another important stride toward that state.”

Group Finance Director’s Review

Performance for the nine months ended September 2016 demonstrates Barclays’ diversification benefits from the mix of consumer and wholesale customers and clients, geographies and products, and the associated benefit from the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP.

The Core business is performing well with a double digit RoTE excluding notable items on an increased average tangible equity base. The Non-Core rundown remains on track for closure in 2017. Capital ratio progression towards end state capital requirements is also strong, while balancing capital growth with earnings accretive actions, such as the reduction in the real estate footprint and redemption of USD preference shares. The Core business generated positive cost: income jaws and we intend to continue to reduce the Group’s structural cost base, targeting a Group cost: income ratio of less than 60% over time.

Group performance

●	Profit before tax decreased 10% to £2,900m. The Group performance reflected strong Core results while being impacted by the acceleration of Non-Core rundown resulting in a loss before tax of £1,998m (Q315 YTD: £1,503m), provisions for UK customer redress of £1,000m (Q315 YTD: £1,322m) and the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, positively impacting income and adversely affecting impairment and operating expenses
●	Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity was 4.4% (Q315 YTD: 5.8%) and basic earnings per share was 9.6p (Q315 YTD: 12.4p)
●	Total income net of insurance claims decreased 6% to £16,459m as the acceleration of Non-Core rundown resulted in income reducing £1,425m to a net expense of £745m, while Core income increased 2% to £17,204m
●	While delinquency rates remained broadly stable, credit impairment charges increased 42% to £1,720m primarily driven by a one-off £320m charge in Q316 following the management review of the UK and US cards portfolio impairment modelling. Q116 also included impairment of a number of single name exposures, largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector. These resulted in a 13bps increase in the loan loss rate to 48bps
●	Total operating expenses reduced 6% to £12,019m reflecting savings from strategic cost programmes as well as lower litigation and conduct charges. Operating expenses included a £150m charge in Barclays International in Q316, relating to a reduction in the real estate footprint which will generate savings in future periods, increased structural reform implementation costs, the continued business growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments and the non-recurrence of the prior year gains of £429m on valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability
●	The effective tax rate on profit before tax increased to 36.0% (Q315 YTD: 30.6%) principally as a result of an increase in non-deductible provisions and, with effect from January 2016, a new corporation tax surcharge of 8% on banks’ UK profits
●	Profit after tax in respect of continuing operations decreased 17% to £1,857m. Profit after tax in relation to the Africa Banking discontinued operation decreased 1% to £520m
●	In the nine months ended September 2016, notable items resulted in a net loss before tax of £465m (Q315 YTD: £1,181m) comprising provisions for UK customer redress of £1,000m (Q315 YTD: £1,322m), a £615m (Q315 YTD: £nil) gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and an own credit loss of £80m (Q315 YTD: gain of £605m)

All performance commentary which follows is on an underlying basis, excluding notable items.

Core performance

●	Profit before tax decreased 1% to £5,363m, including the benefit of the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP. This reflected solid performance in both Barclays UK and Barclays International, generating positive cost: income jaws and an improvement in the cost: income ratio to 58% (Q315 YTD: 59%)
●	The Core business generated an RoTE of 10.7% (Q315 YTD: 12.9%) based on an increased average tangible equity base of £40bn (Q315 YTD: £36bn), as capital was returned from Non-Core
●	Total income increased 5% to £16,669m, with Barclays UK income increasing 1% to £5,538m and Barclays International income increasing 6% to £10,939m with growth in both CIB and Consumer, Cards and Payments
●	Credit impairment charges increased 49% to £1,645m resulting in a 16bps increase in the loan loss rate to 53bps primarily due to a one-off £320m charge in Q316 following the management review of the UK and US cards portfolio impairment modelling
●	Total operating expenses increased 3% to £9,656m. The 2016 Core cost guidance of £12.8bn, excluding litigation and conduct charges and adjusted for FX, remains on track. Based on an average USD/GBP exchange rate of 1.30 in H216 this equates to £13bn

Barclays UK

●	RoTE was 20.0% (Q315 YTD: 23.2%), as profit before tax decreased 8% to £2,004m driven by an increase in credit impairment charges, while the cost: income ratio improved to 51% (Q315 YTD: 52%)
●	Total income increased 1% to £5,538m through steady growth in balances and pricing discipline
	–	Personal Banking income increased 2% to £2,828m driven by improved deposit margins and balance growth, partially offset by mortgage margin pressure
	–	Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 3% to £1,515m reflecting the impact of the European Interchange Fee Regulation, which came into full effect from December 2015, partially offset by balance growth and a gain from a debt sale in Q316
	–	Wealth, Entrepreneurs & Business Banking (WEBB) income increased 1% to £1,195m reflecting deposit growth, partially offset by reduced transactional appetite from investors and a reduction in assets under management in Wealth
	–	Net interest income increased 2% to £4,546m due to deposit balance growth and pricing initiatives, partially offset by a lower mortgage margin. NIM increased 7bps to 3.63% reflecting higher margins on Personal Banking deposits and income from treasury operations in Q316
●	Credit impairment charges increased 47% to £716m primarily due to a one-off £200m charge in Q316 following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling. Excluding this charge, impairment trends remained broadly stable, with the 30 and 90 day arrears rates on the cards portfolio improving year-on-year to 2.0% (Q315 YTD: 2.2%) and 1.0% (Q315 YTD: 1.1%) respectively
●	Total operating expenses decreased 1% to £2,817m driven by savings realised from strategic cost programmes, partially offset by increased structural reform programme implementation costs

Barclays International

●	RoTE was 10.5% (Q315 YTD: 11.5%), within which Consumer, Cards and Payments RoTE was 21.3% (Q315 YTD: 19.9%) and CIB RoTE was 8.7% (Q315 YTD: 10.3%)
●	Profit before tax decreased 2% to £3,374m reflecting strong growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments, encouraging CIB results, and the benefit from the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP more than offset by an increase in impairment charges
●	Total income increased 6% to £10,939m, as Consumer Cards and Payments income increased 21% to £2,937m and CIB income increased 2% to £8,002m
	–	Markets income increased 4% to £4,103m, within which Credit income increased 47% to £924m driven by a strong performance in the fixed income credit flow businesses, Equities income decreased 13% to £1,380m following simplification of the business model, and Macro income increased 4% to £1,799m driven by continued momentum in Q316 and reflecting increased activity post the EU referendum
	–	Banking income decreased 1% to £3,895m, within which Banking fee income increased 7% to £1,747m, driven by higher debt underwriting and financial advisory fees, Corporate lending income decreased 15% to £892m, due to reduced income from hedges, and Transactional banking income increased 1% to £1,256m driven by increased income from higher deposit balances and an increase in payment volumes
	–	Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 21% to £2,937m driven by continued growth in Barclaycard US, including the benefit of portfolio acquisitions, Barclaycard Germany, Barclaycard Business Solutions and the Wealth International business
	–	Net interest income increased 8% to £3,466m including income from treasury operations in Q316 and NIM1 increased to 4.89% (Q315 YTD: 4.56%) driven by growth in interest earning lending in Barclaycard US
●	Credit impairment charges increased 50% to £929m
	–	CIB impairment increased 47% to £170m primarily from impairment of a number of single name exposures in Q116, largely in respect of counterparties in the oil and gas sector
	–	Consumer, Cards and Payments impairment increased 51% to £759m due to growth in receivables and a one-off £120m charge in Q316 following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling. Excluding this charge, impairment trends in US cards increased modestly year-on-year, with the 30 and 90 day arrears rates of 2.4% (Q315 YTD: 2.1%) and 1.1% (Q315 YTD: 1.0%) respectively
●	Total operating expenses increased 6% to £6,663m
	–	CIB operating expenses increased 7% to £5,337m, including higher restructuring costs, £150m of which related to reducing the real estate footprint in Q316, and higher structural reform programme implementation costs, largely relating to the incorporation of the US Intermediate Holding Company (IHC) on 1 July 2016. These increases were partially offset by lower litigation and conduct charges
	–	Consumer, Cards and Payments operating expenses increased 4% to £1,326m driven by continued business growth

1	Excludes Investment Banking related balances.

Head Office

●	Loss before tax was £15m (Q315 YTD: £203m) reflecting increased net income from treasury operations and reduced structural reform implementation costs in operating expenses

Non-Core performance

●	The Non-Core rundown remains on track, with RWAs decreasing £10bn to £44bn in the nine months to September 2016 despite the impact of the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP, driven by a £5bn reduction in Derivatives and a £3bn reduction in Securities and loans including the completion of the sale of the Portuguese retail and insurance businesses and Italian banking network
●	Good progress has been made on business disposals, with the following completions in Q316:
	–	Sale of Barclays Risk Analytics and Index Solutions, resulting in a pre-tax gain of £535m in other net income
	–	Sale of the Italian retail banking network, resulting in a decrease in Non-Core RWAs of £0.6bn
●	Underlying loss before tax increased to £1,998m (Q315 YTD: £1,015m)
●	Total income net of insurance claims reduced £1,425m to a net expense of £745m, including fair value losses on the ESHLA portfolio of £436m (Q315 YTD: £203m)
	–	Businesses income reduced £352m to £558m primarily due to the impact of lower income following the completion of the sale of the Barclays Wealth Americas, the European retail and UK Secured Lending businesses
	–	Securities and loans income reduced £644m to a net expense of £799m primarily driven by the fair value losses on the ESHLA portfolio, the impact of restructuring the ESHLA Lender Option Borrower Option loan terms in Q216, the non-recurrence of a £91m provision release relating to a litigation matter in Q115, and the exit of historical investment banking businesses
	–	Derivatives income reduced £429m to a net expense of £504m primarily reflecting the costs of running down the portfolio
●	Credit impairment charges improved 26% to £75m driven by lower impairment charges in Europe
●	Total operating expenses improved 12% to £1,363m reflecting reduced costs following the exit of businesses, partially offset by higher restructuring costs
●	The intention remains to close Non-Core in 2017 with c.£20bn RWAs, subject to prevailing FX rates

Group capital and leverage

●	The fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio increased to 11.6% (December 2015: 11.4%) reflecting an increase in CET1 capital of £2.4bn to £43.2bn, whilst RWAs increased by £15bn to £373bn
	–	The increase in CET1 capital was largely driven by strong profits of £1.8bn generated in the period, after absorbing the impact of notable items. Other favourable movements included the currency translation reserve as a result of the appreciation of all major currencies against GBP
	–	This was partially offset by the UKRF defined benefit pension scheme moving to a £1.1bn deficit from a £0.8bn surplus at December 2015, leading to a 30bps adverse CET1 ratio movement. This is a result of AA corporate bond spreads tightening and gilt yields falling, causing the discount rate for the liability values to fall 151bps to 2.31%
	–	The increase in RWAs was principally due to the appreciation of USD, EUR and ZAR against GBP, which more than offset RWA reductions in Non-Core
●	The leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) driven by a 15% increase in the leverage exposure to £1,185bn primarily within loans and advances and other assets, as well as the impact of the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP. Fully loaded Tier 1 capital increased £3.8bn to £49.9bn, including an Additional Tier 1 (AT1) issuance of $1.5bn in Q316
●	Tangible net asset value per share increased to 287p (December 2015: 275p) driven by profit generated in the period and net favourable reserve movements

Group funding and liquidity

●

The Group continued to maintain surpluses to its internal and regulatory requirements in the nine months to September 2016 with a liquidity pool of £157bn (December 2015: £145bn). The increase was driven by the depreciation of GBP against other currencies and higher short term funding to provide additional liquidity. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 125% (December 2015: 133%), equivalent to a surplus of £31bn (December 2015: £37bn)

●

Wholesale funding outstanding excluding repurchase agreements was £159bn as at September 2016 (December 2015: £142bn). The increase was driven by the depreciation of GBP against other currencies, holding company issuance and higher short term funding to provide additional liquidity. The Group issued £10.9bn equivalent of capital and senior unsecured debt from the holding company in the nine months to September 2016, of which £7.4bn equivalent and £0.8bn equivalent in public and private senior unsecured debt respectively, and £2.7bn of capital instruments. In the same period £7.4bn of Barclays Bank PLC capital and senior unsecured debt was bought back or called

Other matters

●	Additional UK customer redress provisions of £1,000m (Q315 YTD £1,322m) relating to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) were recognised in the nine months to September 2016. £400m was recognised in Q216 reflecting an updated estimate of costs, primarily relating to ongoing remediation programmes, with £600m recognised in Q316 to reflect the current estimate of the impact of the revised complaints deadline proposed in Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation paper 16/20 issued on 2 August 2016. We will continue to review the adequacy of the provision levels in respect of the FCA’s proposals which remain subject to consultation. The remaining PPI provision as at September 2016 was £2.3bn (December 2015: £2.1bn)
●	In Q216, Barclays redeemed its $1.15bn 7.75% Series 4 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares. In Q316, Barclays redeemed its $750m 6.625% Series 2 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares. These redemptions resulted in a 10bps detriment to the CET1 ratio, but will result in an ongoing reduction in preference share dividends payable of $139m per annum
●	The acquisition of Visa Europe Limited by Visa Inc. completed on 21 June 2016 resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain on disposal of £615m in income in Q216
●	On 5 May 2016, Barclays executed the first tranche of the sell down of the Group’s interest in BAGL with the sale of 12.2% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Following completion of this first tranche, Barclays’ holding represents 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Barclays continues to explore opportunities to reduce its shareholding to a level that would permit regulatory deconsolidation. Barclays also continues to work closely with BAGL management on arrangements for operational separation of the two businesses, including the terms of transitional services arrangements and related separation payments
●	The Barclays US IHC was incorporated on 1 July 2016. The associated quarterly report to the Federal Reserve (FR Y-9C) will be released on 9 November 2016

Discontinued Operation

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

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

Investment in subsidiary

The investment in subsidiary of £36,553m (December 2015: £35,303m) represents investments made into Barclays Bank PLC, including £6,453m (December 2015: £5,321m) of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities. The increase of £1,250m was mainly driven by a $1.5bn AT1 issuance during the third quarter.

Loans and advances to subsidiary, subordinated liabilities and debt securities in issue

For the nine months ended September 2016, Barclays PLC issued $2.1bn of Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes included within the subordinated liabilities balance of £3,680m (2015: £1,766m), $6.7bn of Fixed Rate Senior Notes, Yen 20bn of Fixed Rate Senior Notes, €1.7bn Fixed and Floating Rate Senior Notes, £1.3bn of Fixed Rate Senior Notes and AUD 0.2bn of Fixed Rate Senior Notes included within the debt securities in issue balance of £15,407m (2015: £6,224m). The proceeds raised through the subordinated liabilities and debt securities issuances were used to invest in Barclays Bank PLC in each case with a ranking corresponding to the notes issued by Barclays PLC and included within the loans and advances to subsidiary balance of £19,087m (2015: £7,990m).

Management of internal investments, loans and advances

Barclays PLC retains the discretion to manage the nature of its internal investments in subsidiaries according to their regulatory and business needs. As we implement our structural reform programme, Barclays PLC will invest capital and funding to Barclays Bank PLC and other Group subsidiaries such as the Group service company, the US IHC and the UK ring-fenced bank

Capital

CRD IV capital

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

In addition, a Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCCB) is required. On 22 September 2016 the Financial Policy Committee reaffirmed that it expects to maintain a CCCB of 0% on UK exposures until at least June 2017. Other national authorities also determine the appropriate CCCBs that should be applied to exposures in their jurisdiction. During 2016, CCCBs started to apply for Barclays’ exposures to other jurisdictions; however based on current exposures these are not material.

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

1	The transitional regulatory adjustments to CET1 capital are no longer applicable resulting in CET1 capital on a fully loaded basis being equal to that on a transitional basis.
2	The CRD IV CET1 ratio (FSA October 2012 transitional statement) as applicable to Barclays’ Tier 2 Contingent Capital Notes was 12.8% based on £47.8bn of transitional CRD IV CET1 capital and £373bn of RWAs.
3	The PRA transitional capital is based on the PRA Rulebook and accompanying supervisory statements.
4	As at 30 September 2016, Barclays’ fully loaded Tier 1 capital was £49,930m, and the fully loaded Tier 1 ratio was 13.4%. Fully loaded total regulatory capital was £66,185m and the fully loaded total capital ratio was 17.7%. The fully loaded Tier 1 capital and total capital measures are calculated without applying the transitional provisions set out in CRD IV and assessing compliance of AT1 and T2 instruments against the relevant criteria in CRD IV.
5	Of the £12bn transitional AT1 capital, fully loaded AT1 capital used for the leverage ratio comprises the £6.4bn capital instruments and related share premium accounts, £0.4bn qualifying minority interests and £0.1bn capital deductions. It excludes legacy Tier 1 capital instruments issued by subsidiaries that are subject to grandfathering.

Closing CET1 capital	43,177	43,177

●	The CET1 ratio improved to 11.6% (December 2015: 11.4%) primarily driven by an increase in CET1 capital of £2.4bn to £43.2bn as a result of strong profits of £1.8bn generated in the year, after absorbing the impact of notable items. Overall, regulatory capital generated from earnings increased CET1 capital by £1.2bn. Other significant movements in the year were:
	–	A £2.2bn increase in other qualifying reserves including a £3bn increase in the currency translation reserve as USD, EUR and ZAR strengthened against GBP; partially offset by a £0.4bn decrease as a result of preference share redemptions and a £0.3bn decrease in AFS reserve
	–	A £1.1bn decrease, net of tax, as a result of movements relating to pensions. The UKRF, which is the Group’s main pension scheme, moved from a £0.8bn surplus to a £1.1bn deficit. The movement was driven by an increase in the liability values, mainly due to a decrease in the discount rate to 2.31%pa (2015: 3.82%pa). The increase in liabilities was partially offset by an increase in asset values driven by higher asset performance relative to the discount rate and the removal of the capital deduction for the UKRF assets in December 2015
●	Transitional AT1 capital remained flat in the period as the redemption of £1.2bn of end point non qualifying preference shares and tier one notes was offset by the issuance of $1.5bn of end point qualifying AT1 capital instruments

RWAs increased £15.0bn to £373.4bn, due to:

●	Book size increased RWAs by £8.1bn primarily driven by increased trading activity as well as an increase in the fair value of derivative exposures in Barclays International and Non-Core
●	Acquisitions and disposals decreased RWAs by £4.7bn primarily driven by rundown in Non-Core, including the sale of Portuguese and Italian businesses
●	Model updates decreased RWAs by £5.2bn primarily driven by model changes in Barclays UK following approval from the PRA
●	Foreign exchange movements increased RWAs by £17.1bn due to the appreciation of ZAR, USD and EUR against GBP

Leverage

Leverage ratio and exposures

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

●

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

●

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

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

In August 2016, the PRA implemented the Financial Policy Committee’s recommendation to allow firms to exclude claims on the central bank from the calculation of the leverage exposure measure, as long these are matched by deposits denominated in the same currency. The revised definition will flow through to firms’ obligations with regards to the minimum leverage ratio requirement, the countercyclical leverage ratio buffer and the additional leverage ratio buffer. Our reported leverage ratio and average leverage ratio disclosed below is unaffected by this announcement as firm’s are required to continue to disclose on the existing rules. The impact of the FPC’s recommendations would have been an improvement to the headroom of c.20bps for the reported leverage ratio and c.10bps for the average leverage ratio.

Leverage ratio	4.2%	4.2%	4.5%

1	Included within financial assets designated at fair value are reverse repurchase agreements designated at fair value of £78bn (December 2015: £50bn).

The leverage ratio decreased to 4.2% (December 2015: 4.5%) primarily driven by an increase in the leverage exposure of £157bn to £1,185bn partially offset by a £3.8bn increase in fully loaded Tier 1 capital to £49.9bn (December 2015: £46.2bn):

●	Loans and advances and other assets increased by £104bn to £729bn. The increase was primarily driven by a £42bn increase in cash and balances at central banks due to an increase in the cash element of the Group liquidity pool, a £25bn increase in settlement balances following increased client activity, lending growth of £20bn within Barclays International and Barclays UK, and a £14bn increase in Africa banking assets held for sale reflecting the appreciation of ZAR against GBP
●	Reverse repurchase agreements increased £17bn to £95bn, primarily due to an increase in matched book trading
●	SFT adjustments increased by £20bn to £36bn, primarily as a result of a change in treatment of securities pre-positioned for use against undrawn central bank lending facilities
●	PFE on derivatives increased by £14bn to £143bn primarily driven by the appreciation of major currencies against GBP, partially offset by compression activity, sale of positions and maturity of trades
●	Weighted off balance sheet commitments increased by £7bn to £118bn primarily driven the appreciation of major currencies against GBP

The average leverage exposure measure for Q316 was £1,195bn resulting in an average leverage ratio of 4.2%. The CET1 capital held against the 0.175% transitional G-SII ALRB was £2.1bn. There is no current impact for the CCLB for the group.

Notes

The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the nine months ended 30 September 2016 to the corresponding nine months of 2015 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 September 2016 with comparatives relating to 30 June

Comparatives have been restated to reflect the implementation of the Group business reorganisation. These restatements were detailed in our announcement on 14 April 2016, accessible at home.barclays/results.

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

References to underlying performance exclude the impact of notable items.

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

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

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 26 October 2016, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

These results will be furnished as a Form 6-K to the SEC as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished with the SEC, copies of the Form 6-K will also be available from the Barclays Investor Relations website home.barclays/results and from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

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

Forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, notable items, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the strategic cost programme and the Group Strategy Update, rundown of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core, sell down of the Group’s interest in Barclays Africa Group Limited, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, future levels of notable items, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules (including with regard to the future structure of the Group) applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Africa, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entities within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the implications of the results of the 23 June 2016 referendum in the United Kingdom and the disruption that may result in the UK and globally from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union; the implementation of the strategic cost programme; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our annual report on form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2015), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

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