Q3 2018 Results Announcement

30 September 2018

Performance Highlights

Strong financial performance with Group return on tangible equity of 11.1% and earnings per share of 21.6p for the nine months, excluding litigation and conduct charges

● Returns1:	● Group return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 11.1%, with profit before tax up 23% to £5.3bn, and double digit returns in both Barclays UK and Barclays International ● Remain on track to achieve Group RoTE targets of greater than 9% in 2019 and greater than 10% in 2020
● Cost efficiency1:	● Group operating expenses decreased 3% to £10.0bn, driving an improved cost: income ratio of 62% (Q317 YTD: 64%) ● Remain on track for Group operating expenses in the region of £13.9bn in 2018, and guidance of £13.6-13.9bn in 2019. Targeting a cost: income ratio of below 60% over time
● Capital and dividends:	● Common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 13.2% (December 2017: 13.3%), at the end-state target of c.13%, principally reflecting organic capital generation from profits offset by a c.65bps impact from litigation and conduct charges and c.40bps from dividends paid and foreseen ● Following regulatory approval, proceeding with the redemption of the $2.65bn 8.125% Series 5 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares and $2bn 8.25% Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities, to be effected on 15 December 2018. This will result in a pro-forma decrease of 33bps to the 30 September 2018 CET1 ratio, but an ongoing earnings benefit ● Intention to pay a dividend of 6.5p per share for 2018, subject to regulatory approvals. Interim dividend of 2.5p per share paid in Q318

●	Barclays Group profit before tax was £3,120m (Q317 YTD: £3,448m), which included litigation and conduct charges of £2.1bn (Q317 YTD: £0.8bn) principally related to a £1.4bn settlement with the US Department of Justice (DoJ) with regard to Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) and charges of £400m (Q317 YTD: £700m) due to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) in Q118
●	Excluding litigation and conduct charges, Group profit before tax increased 23% to £5,267m despite the adverse effect of the 5% depreciation of average USD against GBP. This increase in profit before tax was driven by a 53% improvement in credit impairment charges, primarily reflecting improved consensus-based macroeconomic forecasts in the UK and US, single name recoveries in wholesale banking and portfolio adjustments as IFRS 9 continues to embed, and a 3% reduction in operating expenses
●	Barclays UK profit before tax increased to £1,566m (Q317 YTD: £1,295m). Excluding litigation and conduct, profit before tax increased 2% to £2,034m reflecting a 12% reduction in impairment charges and stable income, partially offset by a 2% increase in operating expenses reflecting continued investment in digitisation. RoTE was 18.9% (Q317 YTD: 19.8%) excluding litigation and conduct
●	Barclays International profit before tax increased to £3,560m (Q317 YTD: £3,269m), driven by a 73% decrease in credit impairment charges, while income declined 2%, mainly due to prior year one-offs in Consumer, Cards and Payments. RoTE excluding litigation and conduct was 11.6% (Q317 YTD: 10.1%), reflecting improved returns in both the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) and Consumer, Cards and Payments of 9.7% and 21.7% (Q317 YTD: 8.4% and 19.4%) respectively
●	Attributable profit was £1,470m (Q317 YTD: loss of £628m) and basic earnings per share was 9.4p (Q317 YTD: loss per share of 3.0p). Excluding litigation and conduct, earnings per share was 21.6p (Q317 YTD: 1.7p)
●	Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share was 260p (December 2017: 276p) as 21.6p of earnings per share, excluding litigation and conduct, was more than offset by 4.5p per share paid in dividends, the impact of the implementation of IFRS 9 and litigation and conduct charges. TNAV per share increased 1p in the quarter
●	The CET1 ratio was 13.2% (December 2017: 13.3%), principally reflecting capital generation from profits offset by a c.65bps impact from litigation and conduct charges and c.40bps from dividends paid and foreseen. The CET1 ratio increased 20bps in the quarter from 13.0% at June 2018

1	Excluding litigation and conduct, with returns targets based on a Barclays Group CET1 ratio of c.13%.

James E Staley, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

“I am pleased to report another quarter which demonstrates that we are firmly on track to produce improved returns for shareholders as our strategy continues to deliver.

Our Group RoTE for the nine months of 11.1%, and 10.2% in the third quarter, excluding litigation and conduct, demonstrates we are well placed to meet our targets of a greater than 9% Group RoTE for 2019, and greater than 10% for 2020, based on a CET1 ratio of c.13%.

Earnings per share (EPS) of 6.6p, delivered in this quarter brings our year-to-date EPS to 21.6p excluding litigation and conduct. Year to date profits before tax, excluding litigation and conduct, increased 23% to £5.3bn, and in the quarter, Group PBT increased 32% to £1.6bn. Both Barclays UK and Barclays International delivered double digit returns for the nine months.

During the third quarter our Corporate and Investment bank outperformed peers again in Markets, with a 19% increase in income, and, in Banking, while we saw a dip in income, we have seen strong completion activity in October. Barclays was advisor on three of the largest M&A transactions executed in the period. Barclays UK PBT, excluding litigation and conduct, grew 18% in Q3 to £794m, on revenues up 2% to £1.9bn compared with last year, resulting in positive jaws of 1%.

Having completed the restructuring of Barclays in 2017, our transatlantic consumer and wholesale bank is now delivering. We are prudently managing risk and our balance sheet, and benefitting from our diversified model with earnings resilience.

Our performance means we are also able to maintain a strong capital position, posting a 13.2% CET1 ratio as at the end of September, as well as investing in growth for the future.

It remains our intention to pay a dividend for 2018 of 6.5p, and I am particularly pleased that the Prudential Regulatory Authority has granted us permission to call the outstanding retail dollar preference shares dating from 2008. This will drive a reduction in financing costs and further demonstrates confidence in the strength of our capital position today, as well as our capital generating capacity going forward.

In spite of macro-economic uncertainty, and particularly concerns over Brexit which weigh heavily on market sentiment, 2018 is proving to be a year of delivery on our strategy at Barclays. We remain focussed on generating improved returns, and on distributing a greater proportion of excess capital to shareholders over time.”

James E Staley, Group Chief Executive Officer

Group Finance Director’s Review

Results in the first nine months of the year were encouraging, with a Group return on tangible equity of 11.1% driven by double digit returns in both Barclays UK and Barclays International, and improved Group earnings per share of 21.6p, excluding litigation and conduct. Profit before tax increased 23% driven by a 53% improvement in credit impairment charges, primarily reflecting improved consensus-based macroeconomic forecasts and single name recoveries. Stable income and a reduction in operating expenses drove positive jaws and an improved cost: income ratio of 62%, excluding litigation and conduct.

The CET1 ratio of 13.2% is at the end-state target, and Barclays reiterates its intention to pay a total dividend of 6.5p for 2018, subject to regulatory approvals, having paid an interim dividend of 2.5p. Barclays remains confident of achieving its returns and cost targets.

Group performance

●	Profit before tax was £3,120m (Q317 YTD: £3,448m). Excluding litigation and conduct charges, profit before tax increased 23% to £5,267m driven by a 53% improvement in credit impairment charges and a 3% reduction in operating expenses. The 5% depreciation of average USD against GBP adversely impacted profits and income, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and operating expenses
●	Total income was £16,063m (Q317 YTD: £16,054m). Barclays UK income was stable, while Barclays International income declined 2% reflecting stable income in CIB and a 7% reduction in Consumer, Cards and Payments, primarily due to prior year one-off gains as a result of management de-risking actions. Head Office income was a net expense of £262m (Q317 YTD: income of £8m), and the Group benefited from the non-recurrence of negative income associated with the former Non-Core division, which was closed on 1 July 2017
●	Credit impairment charges decreased 53% to £825m primarily due to improved consensus-based macroeconomic forecasts in the UK and US, single name recoveries in wholesale banking, portfolio adjustments as IFRS 9 continues to embed, and the impact of repositioning the US cards portfolio towards a lower risk mix. The Barclays Group loan loss rate was 33bps (Q317 YTD: 55bps)
●	Barclays adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments from 1 January 2018, requiring the recognition of impairment earlier in the lifecycle of a product having considered forward-looking information. As experienced in the year to date, the impairment measurement and resulting charge has been more volatile in response to the impacts from an improved consensus-based macroeconomic outlook, higher than expected seasonality and single name recoveries. These impacts are not expected to repeat in a stable economic and credit environment. In addition, the year to date impairment charge included a non-recurring reduction from portfolio adjustments as IFRS 9 continues to be embedded within our business as usual process and controls including the performance of impairment models
●	Operating expenses of £12,150m (Q317 YTD: £11,087m) included litigation and conduct charges of £2,147m (Q317 YTD: £824m), excluding which, operating expenses reduced to £10,003m (Q317 YTD: £10,263m). This 3% reduction reflected the non-recurrence of costs associated with the former Non-Core division, while costs increased 2% in Barclays UK and were stable in Barclays International primarily due to investments in businesses and digitising the bank. The cost: income ratio, excluding litigation and conduct, reduced to 62% (Q317 YTD: 64%)
●	Other net income declined to £32m (Q317 YTD: £244m) primarily reflecting the non-recurrence of gains on the sales of Barclays’ share in VocaLink and a joint venture in Japan in Q217
●	The effective tax rate was 31.3% (Q317 YTD: 32.0%). Excluding litigation and conduct, the underlying effective tax rate was 20.0% (Q317 YTD: 26.4%), with the year-on-year reduction primarily due to the reduction in the US federal corporate income tax rate under the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the beneficial impact of adjustments to prior periods recognised in 2018. The Group’s underlying effective rate for the full year 2018 and future periods is expected to be in the mid-20 percents
●	RoTE was 11.1% (Q317 YTD: 0.8%) and earnings per share was 21.6p (Q317 YTD: 1.7p), excluding litigation and conduct
●	TNAV per share was 260p (December 2017: 276p) as 21.6p of earnings per share, excluding litigation and conduct, was more than offset by 4.5p per share paid in dividends, the impact of the implementation of IFRS 9 and litigation and conduct charges in Q118. TNAV per share increased 1p in the quarter

Barclays UK

●	RoTE excluding litigation and conduct decreased to 18.9% (Q317 YTD: 19.8%). Including PPI charges of £400m (Q317 YTD: £700m) RoTE was 12.7% (Q317 YTD: 9.4%)
●	Total income was stable at £5,520m (Q317 YTD: £5,513m)
	–	Personal Banking income decreased 3% to £3,008m reflecting the non-recurrence of a valuation gain on Barclays’ preference shares in Visa Inc. in Q117 and the realignment of clients from Barclays UK to Barclays International as part of structural reform
	–	Barclaycard Consumer UK income increased 3% to £1,582m
	–	Business Banking income increased 5% to £930m driven by the realignment of clients from Barclays International to Barclays UK, as part of structural reform, partially offset by the non-recurrence of the Visa gain
	–	Net interest margin decreased 31bps to 3.24% reflecting the integration of the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority (ESHLA) portfolio and margin pressure
●	Credit impairment charges decreased 12% to £530m due to improved consensus-based macroeconomic forecasts, partially offset by one-off charges in Business Banking. The 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK cards remained stable at 1.8% (Q317: 1.8%) and 0.9% (Q317: 0.9%) respectively
●	Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct increased 2% to £2,961m as continued investment in digitising the bank and inflationary pressures were partially offset by lower costs of setting up the ring-fenced bank and cost efficiencies. The cost: income ratio excluding litigation and conduct was 54% (Q317 YTD: 53%)
●	RoTE excluding litigation and conduct decreased to 18.9% (Q317 YTD: 19.8%) driven by the integration of the ESHLA portfolio, partially offset by an increase in profit before tax of 2% to £2,034m
●	RWAs increased to £74.8bn (December 2017: £70.9bn) primarily due to regulatory methodology changes for the ESHLA portfolio and growth in the mortgage book

Barclays International

●	Profit before tax excluding litigation and conduct increased 11% to £3,654m resulting in a double digit RoTE of 11.6% (Q317 YTD: 10.1%), reflecting improved returns in both CIB, and Consumer, Cards and Payments of 9.7% and 21.7% (Q317 YTD: 8.4% and 19.4%) respectively
●	The 5% depreciation of average USD against GBP adversely impacted profits and income, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and operating expenses
●	Total income decreased 2% to £10,805m
	–	CIB income was stable at £7,614m (Q317 YTD: £7,626m) as a 12% increase in Markets income to £3,955m was offset by a 7% decrease in Banking income to £3,756m
		–	FICC income increased 1% to £2,293m as continued strong performance in foreign exchange was offset by a decline in credit income
		–	Equities income increased 31% to £1,662m reflecting an improved performance in derivatives from increased client activity and a continued strong performance in equity financing
		–	Banking fee income decreased 5% to £1,906m, following a strong Q317 YTD. Banking global fee share for Q318 YTD increased since FY17
		–	Corporate lending income declined 23% to £635m driven by lower lending balances, including the redeployment of RWAs within CIB, and the realignment of clients between Barclays UK and Barclays International as part of structural reform
		–	Transaction banking income was stable at £1,215m (Q317 YTD: £1,221m) as growth in deposits and transactions was offset by the impact of the realignment of clients between Barclays UK and Barclays International as part of structural reform
	–	Consumer, Cards and Payments income decreased 7% to £3,191m driven by the non-recurrence of a £192m gain relating to an asset sale in US cards in Q117, a £74m valuation gain on Barclays’ preference shares in Visa Inc. in Q117 and a negative £41m revaluation of the same shares in Q318, partially offset by continued underlying growth in US cards and a £53m gain on sale of a US cards portfolio in Q218
●	Credit impairment charges decreased 73% to £304m including portfolio adjustments as IFRS 9 continues to embed
	–	CIB credit impairment charges decreased to a release of £185m (Q317 YTD: charge of £86m) primarily due to single name recoveries and improved consensus-based macroeconomic forecasts
	–	Consumer, Cards and Payments credit impairment charges decreased 53% to £489m reflecting the non-recurrence of a £168m charge in Q317 relating to deferred consideration from the Q117 asset sale in US cards, improved consensus-based macroeconomic forecasts in the US, the impact of repositioning the US cards portfolio towards a lower risk mix and repayment of certain US card balances following higher than expected seasonality in Q218
●	Operating expenses increased 1% to £6,977m
	–	CIB operating expenses decreased 1% to £5,303m reflecting the reduction of structural reform costs, and the reduced impact of the change in compensation awards introduced in Q416, offset by continued investment
	–	Consumer, Cards and Payments operating expenses increased 8% to £1,674m. Excluding litigation and conduct operating expenses increased 5% to £1,625m including continued growth and investment, primarily within the US cards and merchant acquiring businesses
●	Other net income decreased to £36m (Q317 YTD: £233m) due to the non-recurrence of a gain of £109m on the sale of Barclays’ share in VocaLink to MasterCard and a gain of £76m on the sale of a joint venture in Japan in Q217
●	RWAs increased to £214.6bn (December 2017: £210.3bn) driven by the appreciation of period end USD against GBP and increased lending in Consumer, Cards and Payments

Head Office

●	Loss before tax was £2,006m (Q317 YTD: £469m) driven by litigation and conduct charges of £1,585m (Q317 YTD: £76m) primarily related to the £1.4bn settlement with the US DoJ relating to RMBS. Excluding litigation and conduct, loss before tax was £421m (Q317 YTD: £393m)
●	Total income reduced to an expense of £262m (Q317 YTD: income of £8m) reflecting certain legacy capital instrument funding costs of £263m now charged to Head Office, hedge accounting and an increased net expense from treasury operations. This was partially offset by a one-off gain of £155m from the settlement of receivables relating to the Lehman Brothers acquisition
●	Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct reduced to £159m (Q317 YTD: £201m) driven by lower costs associated with legacy Non-Core assets and businesses, which were integrated on 1 July 2017
●	Other net expenses were £9m (Q317 YTD: £186m) due to the non-recurrence of a £180m expense in Q217 on the recycling of the currency translation reserve to the income statement on the sale of Barclays Bank Egypt
●	RWAs decreased to £26.8bn (December 2017: £31.8bn) reflecting the net reduction due to Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) regulatory deconsolidation

Group capital and leverage

●	Barclays’ CET1 ratio decreased to 13.2% (December 2017: 13.3%) due to an increase in RWAs of £3.2bn to £316.2bn whilst CET1 capital increased by £0.1bn to £41.7bn
●	The increase in RWAs reflected appreciation of period end USD against GBP, increased lending in Consumer, Cards and Payments and regulatory methodology changes for the ESHLA portfolio in Barclays UK, offset by the net reduction due to BAGL regulatory deconsolidation
●	£2bn of organic capital generation from profits, after absorbing the impacts of litigation and conduct charges, was largely offset by £1.2bn of regulatory deductions for dividends paid and foreseen and £0.5bn of pension deficit contributions
●	The average UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.6% (December 2017: 4.9%) primarily driven by increased exposures due to securities financing transactions (SFTs) and trading portfolio assets

Group funding and liquidity

●

The Barclays Group continued to maintain surpluses to its internal and regulatory liquidity requirements. The liquidity pool decreased to £213bn (December 2017: £220bn) driven largely by the deployment of funding to support business growth. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) increased to 161% (December 2017: 154%), equivalent to a surplus of £80bn (December 2017: £75bn) to the 100% requirement, following a net decline in business stresses

●

Wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was £151bn (December 2017: £144bn). In the nine months to September 2018, Barclays Group issued £10bn of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in a range of different currencies. Barclays Bank PLC continued to issue in the shorter term markets and Barclays Bank UK PLC issued in the shorter term and secured markets, helping to maintain their stable and diversified funding bases. Notable issuances have included $3bn 3 year senior unsecured notes from Barclays Bank PLC and a £1.25bn 5 year covered bond from Barclays Bank UK PLC. Barclays Group has continued to reduce its reliance on short-term wholesale funding, where the proportion maturing in less than 1 year fell to 29% (December 2017: 31%)

Other matters

●	In Q118 Barclays reached a settlement with the US DoJ to resolve the civil complaint brought by the DoJ in December 2016 relating to RMBS sold by Barclays between 2005 and 2007. Barclays paid a civil monetary penalty of $2,000m (£1,420m)
●	Additional charges of £400m (Q317 YTD: £700m) relating to PPI were recognised in Q118 mainly as a result of continued higher complaints flow. The remaining PPI provision as at 30 September 2018 was £1.1bn (December 2017: £1.6bn) to cover claims through to the deadline of 29 August 2019. Management views its current PPI provision as appropriate, but will continue to closely monitor complaint trends and the associated provision adequacy
●	On 1 April 2018 Barclays successfully established its ring-fenced bank, Barclays Bank UK PLC, after receiving approval from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales to implement the ring-fencing transfer scheme under Part VII of the Financial Services Markets Act 2000
●	The PRA agreed to Barclays fully deconsolidating BAGL for regulatory reporting purposes effective 30 June 2018. Barclays had been applying proportional consolidation for regulatory purposes since Q217. Barclays’ shareholding in BAGL of 14.9% is now treated as a 250% risk weighted asset
●	On 21 May 2018 Barclays announced that the Crown Court had dismissed all of the charges that had been brought by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) against Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC regarding matters which arose in the context of Barclays’ capital raisings in 2008. On 23 July 2018 the SFO made an application to the High Court seeking to reinstate against Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC all of the charges dismissed by the Crown Court. Barclays is defending the application brought by the SFO before the High Court in late October
●	Following regulatory approval, Barclays is proceeding with the redemption of the $2.65bn 8.125% Series 5 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares and $2bn 8.25% Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities, to be effected on 15 December 2018. The redemptions will result in an ongoing earnings benefit, and will result in a pro-forma decrease of 33bps to the 30 September 2018 CET1 ratio due to these instruments being held on the balance sheet at historical FX rates

Credit Risk

Loans and advances at amortised cost by stage

The table below presents an analysis of loans and advances at amortised cost by gross exposure, impairment allowance and coverage ratio by stage allocation and business segment as at 30 September 2018. Also included are off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by gross exposure and impairment allowance.

Impairment allowance under IFRS 9 considers both the drawn and the undrawn counterparty exposure. For retail portfolios, the total impairment allowance is allocated to the drawn exposure to the extent that the allowance does not exceed the exposure as expected credit loss is not reported separately. Any excess is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision. For wholesale portfolios the impairment allowance on the undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

Gross exposure on loans and advances at amortised cost increased by £11.2bn to £335.5bn (1 January 2018: £324.3bn) predominantly driven by growth in the UK mortgage portfolio and CIB activity.

The impairment allowance on loans and advances at amortised cost, including off-balance sheet elements of the allowance, decreased by £0.6bn to £6.9bn (1 January 2018: £7.5bn).

The increase in gross exposure on loans and advances at amortised cost of £11.2bn can be seen in the increase in Stage 1 gross exposure of £12.5bn, offset by a decrease of £0.8bn in Stage 2 and £0.5bn in Stage 3, with a decrease in the impairment allowance to £6.6bn (1 January 2018: £7.1bn).

The decrease in Head Office represents the transfer of Treasury balances into the business segments as part of structural reform implementation.

Treasury and Capital Risk

Capital

Barclays’ fully loaded CET1 regulatory requirement is expected to be 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 an expected 0.5% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).

The CCB and the G-SII buffer, determined by the PRA in line with guidance from the Financial Stability Board (FSB), are subject to phased implementation at 25% per annum from 2016 with full effect from 2019. The CCB has been set at 2.5% with 1.9% applicable for 2018. The G-SII buffer for 2018 has been set at 1.5% with 1.1% applicable for 2018. On 21 November 2017 the FSB confirmed that the G-SII buffer will remain at 1.5% applicable for 2019.

On 27 June 2018, the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) increased the UK CCyB rate from 0% to 0.5% resulting in a 0.3% CCyB for Barclays for Q318. From November 2018, the rate is expected to increase to 1% and based on current UK exposures, Barclays’ CCyB is expected to be approximately 0.5% from November 2018. Other national authorities also determine the appropriate CCyBs that should be applied to exposures in their jurisdiction, however based on current exposures none of those set are material.

Barclays’ Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Guidance (ICG) for 2018 is 4.3%, of which at least 56.25% needs to be met in CET1 form, equating to approximately 2.4% of RWAs. Certain elements of the Pillar 2A requirement are a fixed quantum whilst others are a proportion of RWAs and are based on a point in time assessment. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review.

As at 30 September 2018, Barclays’ transitional CET1 ratio was 13.2% which exceeded the 2018 transitional minimum requirement of 10.2% comprising a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 1.9% CCB, a 1.1% G-SII buffer, a 0.3% CCyB and a 2.4% Pillar 2A requirement.

2	The fully loaded CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays PLC additional tier 1 (AT1) securities, was 12.8%, with £40.5bn of CET1 capital and £316bn of RWAs calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR.
3	The Barclays PLC CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the conversion trigger in Barclays Bank PLC T2 Contingent Capital Notes, was 13.2%. For this calculation CET1 capital and RWAs are calculated applying the transitional arrangements under the CRR, including the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements. The benefit of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) October 2012 interpretation of the transitional provisions, relating to the implementation of CRD IV, expired in December 2017.

Closing CET1 capital	41.7	41.7

CET1 capital increased £0.1bn to £41.7bn.

Profit for the period attributable to equity holders of £2bn was partially offset by £1.2bn of the regulatory deduction for dividends paid and foreseen. Other movements in the period were:

●	A £0.2bn decrease in other qualifying reserves with a £0.7bn decrease in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve offset by a £0.5bn increase in the currency translation reserve driven by the appreciation of period end USD against GBP
●	A £0.4bn decrease as a result of movements relating to pensions, largely due to deficit contribution payments of £0.25bn in April 2018 and £0.25bn in September 2018

The implementation of IFRS 9 resulted in a net increase in CET1 capital as the initial decrease in shareholders' equity of £2.2bn on implementation was more than offset by the transitional relief of £1.3bn and the removal of £1.2bn of regulatory deduction for the excess of expected loss over impairment.

Leverage ratio and exposures

Barclays is subject to a leverage ratio requirement that is implemented on a phased basis, with a transitional requirement of 3.7% as at 30 September 2018; this comprised the 3.25% minimum requirement, a transitional G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.39% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB) of 0.1%. Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of T1 capital, 75% of the minimum requirement, equating to 2.4375%, needs to be met with CET1 capital. In addition, the G-SII ALRB and CCLB must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.39% transitional G-SII ALRB was £4.4bn and the 0.1% CCLB was £1.1bn. The fully loaded UK leverage requirement is expected to be 4.0%.

From 1 January 2018, following the end of the transitional period Barclays is required to disclose an average UK leverage ratio which is based on capital on the last day of each month in the quarter and an exposure measure for each day in the quarter. During the transitional period, the exposure measure was based on the last day of each month in the quarter. Barclays is also required to disclose a UK leverage ratio based on capital and exposure on the last day of the quarter. Both approaches exclude qualifying claims on central banks from the leverage exposures.

1	The fully loaded UK leverage ratio was 4.8%, with £51.2bn of T1 capital and £1,062bn of leverage exposure calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR.
2	Capital and leverage measures are calculated applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR.
3	The T1 capital is calculated in line with the PRA Handbook, which excludes grandfathered AT1 instruments allowed under the CRR.
4	The average UK leverage exposure as at 31 December 2017 was calculated based on the last day of each month in the quarter.

The average UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.6% (December 2017: 4.9%) partially driven by the change to the daily exposure measure. Average UK leverage exposures increased £74bn to £1,119bn due to higher trading activity in SFTs and trading portfolio assets and a decrease in the qualifying central bank claims deduction.

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2017: 5.1%) driven by an increase in UK leverage exposure of £78bn to £1,063bn partially offset by an increase in T1 capital primarily due to a new AT1 issuance during the third quarter. Leverage exposure movements included:

●	Loans and advances and other assets increased £51bn to £780bn primarily driven by a £24bn increase in settlement balances, £10bn increase in lending in Barclays International and Barclays UK and a £10bn increase in trading portfolio assets
●	SFTs increased £16bn to £129bn primarily driven by higher client demand for securities due to an increase in trading activity
●	PFEs increased £13bn to £133bn primarily driven by an increase in foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives
●	Qualifying central bank claims decreased £11bn to £129bn primarily driven by liquidity pool currency composition moving into Euro central bank deposits not matched by customer deposits
●	Regulatory consolidation adjustments decreased £9bn primarily driven by the regulatory deconsolidation of BAGL

The difference between the average UK leverage ratio and the UK leverage ratio was primarily driven by lower SFTs at quarter end.

Barclays is required to disclose a CRR leverage ratio. This is included in the additional Barclays regulatory disclosures, prepared in accordance with European Banking Authority (EBA) guidelines on disclosure requirements under Part Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (see Barclays PLC Pillar 3 Report Q3 2018), due to be published by 24 October 2018, available at home.barclays/results.

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)

Under the Bank of England’s statement of policy on MREL, the Bank of England will set MREL for UK Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs) as necessary to implement the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) standard. Institution or group-specific MREL requirements will depend on the preferred resolution strategy for that institution or group.

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

Barclays’ indicative MREL requirement is currently expected to be 29.1% of RWAs from 1 January 2022 consisting of the following components:

●	Loss absorption and recapitalisation amounts consisting of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.3% Pillar 2A buffers respectively
●	Regulatory buffers including a 1.5% G-SII buffer, 2.5% CCB and 0.5% from the planned introduction of a 1% CCyB for the UK1

In the nine months ended 30 September 2018, Barclays PLC issued $4,500m of Fixed and Floating Rate Senior Notes, €1,805m Fixed Rate Senior Notes, £1,500m Fixed Rate Senior Notes, ¥147,600m Fixed Rate Bonds, AUD 600m Fixed and Floating Rate Senior Debt and CHF175m Fixed Rate Senior Debt included within the debt securities in issue balance of £29,780m (December 2017: £22,110m).

Share premium

On 11 September 2018, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales confirmed the cancellation of the share premium account of Barclays PLC, with the balance of £17,873m credited to retained earnings.

Other equity instruments and other reserves

Other equity instruments comprise of AT1 securities issued by Barclays PLC. In the third quarter Barclays PLC issued a $2,500m AT1 security. Following the adoption of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018, the available for sale reserve of £86m has been transferred to retained earnings.

Retained earnings

Following the capital reorganisation and receipt of a dividend in specie from Barclays Bank PLC representing its holding in Barclays Bank UK PLC, retained earnings have increased from £7,737m to £39,809m in the period.

Management of internal investments, loans and advances

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

Non-IFRS performance measures glossary

Measure	Definition
Loan: deposit ratio	Loans and advances at amortised cost divided by deposits at amortised cost.
Period end allocated tangible equity	Allocated tangible equity is calculated as 13.0% (2017: 12.0%) of RWAs for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Barclays Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Barclays Group’s tangible shareholders’ equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.
Average tangible shareholders’ equity	Calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end tangible equity and the current month’s period end tangible equity. The average tangible shareholders’ equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period.
Average allocated tangible equity	Calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end allocated tangible equity and the current month’s period end allocated tangible equity. The average allocated tangible equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages within that period.
Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity	Annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, including an adjustment for the tax credit in reserves in respect of other equity instruments, as a proportion of average shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments adjusted for the deduction of intangible assets and goodwill.

Return on average allocated tangible equity	Annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, including an adjustment for the tax credit in reserves in respect of other equity instruments, as a proportion of average allocated tangible equity. The components of the calculation have been included on page 39.
Cost: income ratio	Operating expenses divided by total income.
Loan loss rate	Quoted in basis points and represents total annualised impairment charges divided by gross loans and advances held at amortised cost at the balance sheet date. The components of the calculation have been included on page 24.
Net interest margin	Annualised net interest income divided by the sum of average customer assets. The components of the calculation have been included on page 23.
Tangible net asset value per share	Calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments, less goodwill and intangible assets, by the number of issued ordinary shares. The components of the calculation have been included on page 46.

Notes

The terms Barclays or Barclays Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the nine months ended 30 September 2018 to the corresponding nine months of 2017 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 September 2018 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2017 and 30 September 2017. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; the abbreviations ‘€m’ and ‘€bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.

There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the date these interim results were approved.

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 23 October 2018, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017, 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 at 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 Barclays Group.

Non-IFRS performance measures

Barclays’ management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses’ performance between financial periods and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Barclays Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays’ management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 38 to 46 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 Barclays Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Barclays Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend payout ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets, estimates of capital expenditures, plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS 9 impacts and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards including the implementation of IFRS 9, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entities within the Barclays Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; instability as a result of the exit by the United Kingdom from the European Union and the disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and globally; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Barclays Group’s control. As a result, the Barclays Group’s actual future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set forth in the Barclays Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Barclays Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2017), 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.
