Barclays (NYSE: BCS) Q1 profit hits £2.8bn and adds £500m buyback

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Barclays PLC reported solid results for the three months ended 31 March 2026, with income of £8.2bn, profit before tax of £2.8bn and attributable profit of £1.9bn. Return on equity was 11.8% and return on tangible equity 13.5%, while basic EPS rose to 14.1p.

The bank announced a new share buyback of up to £500m, in addition to an ongoing £1bn programme, and reiterated 2026 and 2028 financial targets, including Group RoTE of greater than 12% in 2026 and greater than 14% in 2028. Total income grew 6% year-on-year, helped by higher net interest income and stronger performance in Global Markets and US consumer cards.

Credit impairment charges increased to £823m, giving a Group loan loss rate of 74bps, including a £0.2bn single-name charge in the investment bank and higher provisions for UK motor finance redress, which lifted the related provision to £430m. The CET1 ratio stood at 14.1%; including the new buyback, it would be 13.9%, at the top of the stated 13–14% target range.

Insights

Banking sector equity analyst

Barclays delivered steady Q1 profit growth, higher impairments, and added to its buyback while keeping capital strong.

Barclays generated profit before tax of £2.8bn, up modestly year-on-year, on income of £8.2bn (up 6%). Growth was broad-based: UK, corporate, investment bank, and US consumer all posted double‑digit returns on equity, with Group RoTE at 13.5%.

Total operating expenses rose 4% to £4.5bn, but the cost:income ratio improved to 56%, showing positive operating jaws as revenue outpaced costs. Credit impairment charges increased to £823m, reflecting a £228m single-name charge in the investment bank and slightly higher retail card delinquencies.

Capital remains a key support: the CET1 ratio was 14.1% with risk-weighted assets of £364.5bn. After factoring in the new £500m buyback, CET1 would be 13.9%, still at the top of the bank’s 13–14% target range. Management reaffirmed multi‑year RoTE and capital return goals, including at least £10bn returned to shareholders over 2024‑2026 and more than £15bn planned for 2026‑2028.

return on tangible equity financial

"For Q126, Barclays delivered a return on equity (RoE) of 11.8% and return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 13.5%"

Return on tangible equity measures how much profit a company generates for common shareholders using the ‘‘hard’’ capital on its balance sheet—equity after removing intangible items like goodwill and patents. Investors use it to judge the firm’s core profitability and capital efficiency, because it shows profit per dollar of tangible, real assets; think of it as earnings earned on cash, buildings and machinery rather than on acquired goodwill.

Common equity tier 1 ratio financial

"Strong balance sheet with CET1 ratio of 14.1%"

The common equity tier 1 ratio is a measure of a bank's financial strength, showing how much high-quality core capital it has compared to its total risk-weighted assets. Think of it as a safety buffer or cushion that helps ensure the bank can withstand economic shocks. For investors, a higher ratio indicates a stronger, more resilient bank, making it a key indicator of its financial health.

loan loss rate financial

"Q126 Group loan loss rate (LLR) of 74bps included a £0.2bn single name impairment charge"

structural hedge financial

"higher structural hedge income and lending growth"

liquidity coverage ratio financial

"Liquidity coverage ratio 2 | 165.4% | 170.0% | 175.3%"

The liquidity coverage ratio is a banking rule that measures whether a bank has enough high-quality, easy-to-sell assets to cover expected net cash outflows for 30 days. Think of it as a household’s emergency fund that must cover a month of bills; for investors, a higher ratio means the bank is better positioned to survive short-term stress, reducing the risk of fire sales, funding problems, or sudden capital needs that can hurt the share price.

Notes

The terms Barclays and Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares

the three months ended 31 March 2026 to the corresponding three months of 2025 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 March 2026 with

comparatives relating to 31 December 2025 and 31 March 2025. 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 27 April 2026, does not comprise statutory accounts within

the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, which contain an unmodified

audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which does 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.

Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal roadshows 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 42 to 45.

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

– Average allocated equity represents the average shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average

equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 43 to 44;

– Average allocated tangible equity (for businesses) is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end allocated tangible equity and the

current month’s period end allocated tangible equity. The average allocated tangible equity for the period is the average of the monthly averages

within that period. Period end allocated tangible equity is calculated as 13.5% (2025: 13.5%) 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. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 43 to 44;

– Average tangible shareholders’ equity (for Barclays Group) is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end tangible shareholders'

equity and the current month’s period end tangible shareholders' equity. The average tangible shareholders’ equity for the period is the average of the

monthly averages within that period. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 43 to 44;

– Group net interest income (NII) excluding Barclays Investment Bank (IB) and Head Office represents Group NII excluding IB NII and Head Office NII.

The comparable IFRS measure is Group NII. A reconciliation is provided on page 44;

– Group operating costs represents group operating expenses excluding UK regulatory levies and litigation and conduct charges. The comparable

IFRS measure is total operating expenses. A reconciliation is provided on page 44;

– Return on average allocated equity represents the return on shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure

is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 45;

– Return on average allocated tangible equity (for businesses) is calculated as annualised Group attributable profit, as a proportion of average

shareholders’ tangible equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 42;

– Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity (for Barclays Group) is calculated as the annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity

holders of the parent, as a proportion of average shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments adjusted for

the deduction of intangible assets and goodwill. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 43;

– Tangible net asset value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments,

less goodwill and intangible assets, by the number of issued ordinary shares. The comparable IFRS measure is net asset value per share. A

reconciliation is provided on page 45.

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, business strategy, income levels, costs, assets and liabilities, impairment charges, provisions, capital leverage and

other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including policy on dividends and share buybacks), return on tangible equity, projected levels of growth

in banking and financial markets, industry trends, any commitments and targets (including sustainability-related commitments and targets), plans

and objectives for future operations, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) 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, regulations, governmental and regulatory policies, expectations and actions, voluntary codes of practices

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 sustainability reporting standards (including emissions accounting methodologies); changes in tax laws and

practice; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; the Group’s ability along with governments and other

stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively or navigate inconsistencies and conflicts in the manner in

which climate policy is implemented in the regions where the Group operates, including as a result of the adoption of rules and regulations taking a

different or opposing position on sustainability matters, or other forms of governmental and regulatory action against sustainability policies;

environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group’s control; financial crime; the impact of competition in

the banking and financial services industry; capital, liquidity, leverage and other regulatory rules and requirements 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; reforms to benchmark interest rates and indices; 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; changes in trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs or other protectionist measures; the direct and indirect consequences

of the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; changes in

US legislation and policy; developments in the UK’s relationship with the European Union; the risk of cyberattacks, information or security breaches,

technology failures or operational disruptions and any subsequent impact on the Group’s reputation, business or operations; the use of new

technology, including artificial intelligence; the Group’s ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures 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. In setting its targets and outlook for the period 2026-2028, Barclays has made certain

assumptions about the macroeconomic environment, including, without limitation, inflation, interest and unemployment rates, the different markets

and competitive conditions in which Barclays operates, and its ability to grow certain businesses and achieve costs savings and other structural

actions. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC’s filings

with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial

year ended 31 December 2025), 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.

4Management does not assess forward-looking “return on equity” (target RoE) as a performance indicator of the business, and therefore a

reconciliation of the forward-looking non-IFRS measures “return on tangible equity” (target RoTE) to equivalent IFRS measures is not available

without unreasonable efforts.

5Management does not assess forward-looking “Group NII” (target) as a performance indicator of the business, and therefore a reconciliation of

the forward-looking non-IFRS measure “Group NII excluding IB and Head Office” (target) to an equivalent IFRS measure is not available without

unreasonable efforts.

Group Finance Director's Review

Q126 Group performance

•Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £2,814m (Q125: £2,719m), RoE of 11.8% (Q125: 12.1%), RoTE of 13.5%

(Q125: 14.0%) and EPS of 14.1p (Q125: 13.0p)

•The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 7% year-on-year appreciation of

average GBP against USD negatively impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges

and total operating expenses

•Group income increased 6% to £8,163m, as increased NII, supported by higher structural hedge income and lending

growth, and higher income in Global Markets and Investment Banking fees, were partially offset by net losses on fair

value lending in IB1

•Group total operating expenses increased to £4,547m (Q125: £4,365m)

–Group operating costs increased 2% to £4,359m, reflecting further investment spend, business growth and inflation,

partially offset by c.£150m of cost efficiency savings and FX movements

–Litigation and conduct charges of £104m primarily reflected a £105m increase in the provision for the FCA motor

finance redress scheme

•Credit impairment charges increased to £823m (Q125: £643m), primarily driven by a single name charge of £228m in

IB. Uncertainty persists and this is reflected in a net £20m increase in related management adjustments. As a result, total

coverage ratio increased to 1.3% (December 2025: 1.2%)

•The effective tax rate (ETR) was 22.7% (Q125: 22.8%)

•Attributable profit was £1,932m (Q125: £1,864m)

•Total assets increased to £1,694.8bn (December 2025: £1,544.2bn) driven by higher activity in Global Markets as we

continue to support clients through a range of environments

•NAV per share decreased to 466p (December 2025: 469p) and TNAV per share decreased to 405p (December 2025:

409p) as EPS of 14.1p and a 3p benefit from the currency translation reserve was more than offset by an 11p negative

movement in the cash flow hedging reserve, a 6p impact from FY25 dividends paid in Q126, and 6p impact from share

awards vesting

Group capital and leverage

•The CET1 ratio decreased to 14.1% (December 2025: 14.3%). Taking into account the impact of the £500m share

buyback announced today, the CET1 ratio as of 31 March 2026 would be reduced to 13.9% (at the top end of the

13-14% target range)

•The 26bps decrease in the CET1 ratio at Q126, driven by an RWAs increase of £7.7bn to £364.5bn, partially offset by an

increase in CET1 capital of £0.1bn to £51.2bn, was due to:

–53bps increase from attributable profit

–41bps decrease driven by shareholder distributions including the £1.0bn share buyback announced with FY25 results

and the accrual for the FY26 dividend

–17bps decrease from other CET1 capital movements, including the net impact of share awards vesting

–22bps decrease as a result of a £5.5bn increase in RWAs, excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements,

primarily driven by lending growth in UK businesses and higher activity in Global Markets

–A £0.4bn increase in CET1 capital due to an increase in the currency translation reserve was partially offset by a

£2.1bn increase in RWAs as a result of foreign exchange movements

•The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.8% (December 2025: 5.1%) as the leverage exposure increased by £74.0bn to

£1,321.3bn (December 2025: £1,247.3bn). The increase in leverage exposure was primarily driven by higher activity in

Global Markets

Group funding and liquidity

•The liquidity metrics remain above regulatory requirements, underpinned by well-diversified sources of funding, a stable

global deposit franchise and a highly liquid balance sheet

•The liquidity pool was £326.1bn, a decrease of £11.7bn from December 2025. The decrease in the liquidity pool was

primarily driven by increased utilisation across Markets and Investment Banking and higher Treasury usage

•The average2 LCR was 165.4% (December 2025: 170.0%), equivalent to a surplus of £125.9bn (December 2025:

£131.2bn)

•Total deposits increased to £587.6bn (December 2025: £585.6bn), primarily driven by deposit growth in International

Corporate Bank in IB

•The average3 Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 135.4% (December 2025: 135.2%), which represents a £166.9bn

surplus (December 2025: £166.3bn) above the 100% regulatory requirement

1Q126 includes c.£40m of fair value losses on lending. Q125 included c.£105m of fair value gains on leverage finance lending.

Group Finance Director's Review

Group funding and liquidity (continued)

•Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £227.0bn (December 2025: £220.1bn)

•The Group issued £3.0bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments

from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) as of Q126. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 35.4%, which

is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 30.5% excluding any applicable Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer

Other matters

•Motor finance commission arrangements:

From 2003 to late 2019, Barclays, through Clydesdale Financial Services Limited (CFSL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the

group, provided motor finance to customers in the UK.

In January 2024, the FCA appointed a skilled person to review the historical use of discretionary commission

arrangements and sales in the UK motor finance market. In October 2025, the FCA consulted on an industry-wide redress

scheme for eligible motor finance customers, and Barclays engaged with the FCA as part of this process.

In March 2026, the FCA published its final rules giving effect to two redress schemes for eligible motor finance customers

where a commission was payable by the lender to the broker (one scheme for each of the pre and post 1 April 2014

periods).

Barclays increased its provision in Q126 by £105m to reflect the expected financial impact of the redress schemes. The

increase in provision is primarily driven by moving from a multi-scenario approach to a single scenario based on the

FCA’s final rules and higher compensatory interest. This resulted in a provision of £430m in respect of this matter as at

31 March 2026 (as at 31 December 2025: £325m). The provision as at 31 March 2026 reflects Barclays’ estimate of

cases in scope of the FCA redress schemes, the anticipated level of customer redress under the FCA’s methodology

(including compensatory interest at a minimum of 3% per annum), the estimated customer response rate (with

reference to prior remediation exercises across the Group), and implementation costs. The ultimate financial impact

could differ from the current estimate due to factors such as customer response rates and average cost of redress.

Barclays has decided not to challenge the FCA’s final rules in the interests of enabling a swift resolution for customers.

However, Barclays strongly disagrees with aspects which require financial redress even where customers suffered no

demonstrable financial harm.

Barclays understands that it is likely there will be at least one legal challenge to the FCA’s final rules. The legal and

regulatory outcomes and the nature, extent and timing of any remediation action, therefore remain uncertain. Barclays

has not incorporated the potential impact of any legal challenge into the provision estimate.

•USCB portfolio changes in Q226:

–American Airlines co-branded credit card portfolio exit: On 24 April 2026 Barclays exited its American Airlines co-

branded credit card partnership, releasing c.$5bn of RWAs and generating an estimated gain on sale of c.$300m

–Best Egg, Inc. (Best Egg) acquisition: On or around 1 May 2026, Barclays expects to complete the acquisition of Best

Egg for $800m, subject to customary post-completion purchase price adjustments and satisfaction of remaining

conditions to closing. Best Egg is a leading US direct-to-consumer personal loan origination platform focused on

prime borrowers. The acquisition is expected to generate c.$500m of goodwill and intangibles

–The estimated net impact of both transactions is expected to marginally increase the Barclays Group CET1 ratio in

Barclays UK delivered a RoE of 14.8% (Q125: 13.0%) and a RoTE of 19.7% (Q125: 17.4%) supported by robust income,

disciplined cost management and underpinned by strong asset quality

Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125

•Profit before tax increased 14% to £863m

•Total income increased 9% to £2,258m. NII increased 9% to £1,986m, as higher structural hedge income was partially

offset by retail deposit dynamics. Net fee, commission and other income increased 8% to £272m

•Total operating expenses increased 5% to £1,217m, driven by higher investments and inflation. Ongoing efficiency

savings continue to be reinvested, to drive sustainable improvement to the cost: income ratio

•Credit impairment charges were £178m (Q125: £158m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance, high quality

mortgage lending portfolio with a marginal increase in delinquencies in Retail credit cards. A £10m adjustment has been

recognised in the Retail credit cards portfolio, reflecting a marginally weaker UK unemployment baseline than assumed in

the Q126 scenario. Retail credit cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates were 0.9% (Q125: 0.7%) and 0.3% (Q125: 0.2%)

respectively. The Retail credit cards total coverage ratio was 4.6% (December 2025: 4.3%)

Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

•Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased £1.3bn to £217.8bn, primarily driven by growth in

mortgages

•Customer deposits at amortised cost decreased by £0.7bn to £243.9bn, driven by seasonality. The loan: deposit ratio

remained broadly stable at 95% (December 2025: 94%)

•RWAs increased to £87.5bn (December 2025: £85.8bn), primarily due to growth in mortgages lending

Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125

•Profit before tax increased 32% to £273m

•Total income increased 10% to £530m, NII increased 15% to £394m, driven by higher average deposit and lending

balances, and structural hedge income benefit. Net fee, commission, trading and other income was broadly stable at

£136m

•Total operating expenses decreased 2% to £254m, reflecting a reduction in UK regulatory levies to £15m (Q125:

£24m). Operating costs increased 2% to £239m, reflecting higher investment spend to support business growth

ambitions, with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds

•Credit impairment charges were £3m (Q125: £19m), reflecting strong underlying credit performance and limited single

name charges

Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

•Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased to £30.8bn (December 2025: £30.0bn), reflecting the

IB delivered a RoE of 15.0% (Q125: 16.2%) and a RoTE of 15.0% (Q125: 16.2%), driven by Global Markets and Investment

Banking fees and underwriting income, whilst maintaining cost and capital discipline, driving positive operating jaws and

improved RWA productivity.

Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125

•Profit before tax decreased to £1,622m (Q125: £1,710m)

•IB has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 7% appreciation of average GBP against USD

adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses

•Total income increased 4% to £4,028m, including the adverse impact of strengthening average GBP against USD

–Global Markets income increased 6% to £2,832m, driven by increased income in Equities and Credit

–FICC income was broadly stable at £1,716m (Q125: £1,699m), as we continued to provide support to clients

through a range of environments

–Equities income increased 16% to £1,116m, reflecting growth in Prime Financing, and elevated volatility in

Derivatives

–Investment Banking income was broadly stable at £1,196m (Q125: £1,211m)

–Banking fees and underwriting income increased 17% to £754m, primarily driven by Advisory and Equity Capital

Markets, up 78% and 31% respectively, partially offset by Debt Capital Markets due to a strong prior year

comparator

–International Corporate Bank (ICB) income decreased 22% to £442m. Transaction banking income increased 4%

to £426m, as higher income from growth in deposit balances was partially offset by margin compression due to

change in deposits product mix. Corporate lending income decreased to £16m due to net losses on fair value

lending¹

•Total operating expenses were broadly stable at £2,127m, driven by efficiency savings, offset by higher performance

costs

•Credit impairment charges increased to £279m (Q125: £72m), primarily driven by a single name charge of £228m. The

tariff related adjustment from Q125 of £35m² was released, due to the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and

losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and is reflected through a management adjustment of £52m² to

capture increased downside risk.

Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

•Loans and advances at amortised cost increased to £136.5bn (December 2025: £130.3bn), driven by increased

lending across Global Markets and Banking

•Cash collateral and settlement balances increased to £189.2bn (December 2025: £121.6bn), primarily driven by

seasonality and higher client activity during a period of elevated volatility

•Financial assets at fair value through the income statement increased to £215.6bn (December 2025: £183.6bn),

driven by an increase in activity as we continue to support clients through a range of environments

•Derivative financial instrument assets increased to £285.4bn (December 2025: £251.5bn) and liabilities increased to

£272.6bn (December 2025: £240.6bn), primarily driven by the strengthening of spot USD against GBP in Q126 and

USCB delivered a RoE of 16.5% (Q125: 3.9%) and a RoTE of 18.8% (Q125: 4.5%), reflecting continued operational

progress, with increased income from business growth and higher net interest margin, positive operating jaws, and lower

credit impairment charges.

Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125

•Profit before tax increased to £236m (Q125: £55m)

•The 7% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit

impairment charges and total operating expenses

•Total income increased 14% to £983m, driven by organic business growth, the acquisition of the General Motors co-

branded cards portfolio (GM portfolio) and increased purchase activity, partially offset by the strengthening of average

GBP against USD. NII increased 21% to £823m with a net interest margin (NIM) of 12.76% (Q125: 10.53%), including

business growth and repricing initiatives. Net fee, commission and other income decreased 14% to £160m driven by the

Q425 partner reward updates, partially offset by purchases and fee growth

•Total operating expenses decreased 7% to £380m, reflecting the strengthening of average GBP against USD, as

business growth and inflationary headwinds were broadly offset by lower partner related expenses and ongoing

efficiency savings

•Credit impairment charges decreased to £367m (Q125: £399m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance. The

tariff related management adjustment from Q125 of £36m was released, due to the lack of tariff-driven credit

deterioration and losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and is reflected through holding back a £29m release

arising from the Q126 macroeconomic scenario. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates1 were 3.1% (Q125: 3.0%) and

1.7% (Q125: 1.6%) respectively. The USCB total coverage ratio was 11.5% (December 2025: 11.1%)

Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

•Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost were broadly stable at £21.0bn (December 2025: £21.1bn)

•Deposits at amortised cost increased to £25.0bn (December 2025: £24.2bn), with growth in retail savings which is in

line with USCB's ambition to grow core deposits

•RWAs were broadly stable at £27.6bn (December 2025: £27.4bn)

1Including a co-branded cards portfolio classified as assets held for sale.

Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125

business in Q125, and mark-to-market losses on legacy investments

•Total operating expenses increased to £312m (Q125: £210m), reflecting a £105m increase in the provision for the FCA

motor finance redress scheme

Performance Management

Structural hedge

The Group employs a structural hedge programme designed to stabilise NIM on fixed rate non-maturity balance sheet items

that are behaviourally stable. As interest rates move, such balances would otherwise drive material income volatility where

there is a re-pricing mismatch with floating rate assets.

The structural hedge predominantly covers non-interest-bearing current accounts and the fixed portion of instant access

savings accounts as well as equity, which are invested into either floating rate customer assets or balances at central banks,

creating an exposure to changes in interest rates. The structural hedge is executed via a portfolio of receive-fixed, pay

variable interest rate swaps, with an amortising structure so that a small portion matures and is reinvested each month at

prevailing market rates. The pay-floating leg of the interest rate swaps nets down a proportion of the receive-floating income

from the customer assets, leaving a receive-fixed income stream from the structural hedge.

The purpose of the structural hedge is to smooth the Group NII through time. The floating leg of the swap will re-price

immediately, whereas the fixed rate yield on the portfolio reprices gradually, as a portion of the swap portfolio matures and

the roll is re-invested onto new market rates.

When interest rates are higher than our structural hedge yield, the pay-floating rate will typically be higher than our average

receive-fixed rate. In this scenario, when viewed in isolation, the structural hedge will be a net drag to Group NII. When

floating rates are lower than our structural hedge yield, the hedge in isolation will be a net benefit.

Since the receive-fixed swaps are booked for a specific term, an element of NII is ‘locked in’. The income stabilising feature of

the structural hedge provides greater net interest income certainty through the interest rate cycle.

The structural hedge is one component of a larger portfolio of interest rate risk management activities that includes non-

structural hedging (e.g. pay-fixed and receive-variable flows for asset hedging), and other offsetting flows. The net risk of

these positions is executed externally through interest rate swaps and managed for accounting risk (i.e. income volatility

arising from the accounting mismatch of swaps at fair value through profit and loss and underlying hedged items at

amortised cost) within the cash flow hedging reserve.

Overall the Group has external derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that hedge interest rate risk with a notional

£120.9bn (December 2025: £114.6bn) which reflects the structural hedge notional of £241.8bn (December 2025: £236.1bn)

netted with non-structural hedging positions of £120.9bn (December 2025: £121.5bn). The majority of these interest rate

swaps are cleared with Central Clearing Counterparties and margined daily with an average structural hedge duration of c3.5

years.

Gross structural hedge contributions in Q126 were £1,660m (Q125: £1,335m). Gross structural hedge contributions

represent the absolute interest income earned on the fixed legs of the swaps in the structural hedge as the floating leg is

offset by the base rate funding of the deposits.

Credit Risk

Loans and advances at amortised cost by geography

Total loans and advances at amortised cost in the credit risk section includes loans and advances at amortised cost to banks

and loans and advances at amortised cost to customers.

The table below presents a product and geographical breakdown of loans and advances at amortised cost and the impairment

allowance by stage; and includes purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) balances. POCI balances represent a fixed pool

of assets purchased at a deep discount to face value reflecting credit losses incurred from the point of origination to date of

acquisition. The table also presents stage allocation of debt securities and off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial

guarantee contracts.

The 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. .

Measurement uncertainty

Scenarios used to calculate the Group’s modelled ECL charge were refreshed in Q126, with the Baseline scenario reflecting

the latest consensus macroeconomic forecasts available at the time of the scenario refresh which predated the most recent

geopolitical escalation. However, the assessment of ECL includes continued use of management judgement in overlaying

modelled outcomes to capture risks not fully reflected in forward‑looking macroeconomic assumptions.

The Baseline scenario continues to reflect the rapidly changing trade policies of the US administration and ongoing

geopolitical uncertainty. Global growth slows modestly as rising US tariffs and retaliatory measures disrupt trade flows,

dampen business confidence, and weigh on investment, though domestic demand in advanced economies remains resilient.

UK and US GDP growth in 2026 is expected to be 1.0% and 2.4%, respectively. Tariff-induced and supply side pressures

cause headline inflation to remain stickier in the near term. Labour markets in major economies soften slightly amid

increased uncertainty and slower export-orientated activity; however, the weakening is contained and does not rise

significantly from current levels. UK and US quarterly unemployment rates peak at 5.2% and 4.5%, respectively.

The Downside scenarios have been calibrated to capture an escalation of trade tensions, where tariffs imposed by the US

prompt retaliation from its trading partners with adverse implications for consumer prices and investment sentiment, and

ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. The combination of trade impact and consumer uncertainty triggers a sharp recession, not

only in the US but also in the UK and Europe driven by a severe decline in exports, business sentiment and with investment

and consumption plans being put on hold. The rapid fall in external demand and a retrenchment in business investment

push up unemployment rates, where job losses are concentrated in trade-exposed sectors but also spill into services. The

Federal Reserve initially holds rates steady, weighing the inflation shock against the deteriorating real economy. However, as

the slowdown deepens and the labour market loosens, the Federal Reserve cuts rates swiftly to stimulate aggregate demand.

In the Upside scenarios, a rise in labour force participation and higher productivity contribute to accelerated economic

growth, without creating new inflationary pressures. Central banks lower interest rates stimulating private consumption and

investment growth. Demand for labour increases and unemployment rates stabilise and start falling again. As geopolitical

tensions ease, low inflation supports consumer purchasing power and contributes further to healthy GDP growth.

The methodology for estimating scenario 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 small increase in Upside

weights is driven by improvement in UK and US GDP outlook. in the Baseline scenario, bringing the Baseline scenario closer

to the Upside scenarios. For further details see page 33.

The refreshed scenarios predate the most recent geopolitical escalation, and so may not reflect the potential associated

near-term impacts including supply chain disruption, higher energy prices and rising inflation. In response, management

adjustments of £101m have been introduced, partially offset by the release of £81m tariff-related adjustments raised in

Q125, resulting in a net additional charge of £20m.

•Within Barclays UK, a £10m adjustment has been recognised in the Retail credit cards portfolio, reflecting a

marginally weaker UK unemployment baseline than that assumed in the Q126 macroeconomic scenario.

•For USCB, the tariff-related adjustment from Q125 of £31m1 was released due to the lack of tariff-driven credit

deterioration and losses. However, uncertainty persists and has been reflected through holding back a £25m1

release arising from the Q126 macroeconomic scenario.

•In IB, the tariff-related adjustment from Q125 of £50m (£35m net of SRT2 credit protection) was released due to

the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and has been

reflected through a management adjustment of £66m (£52m net of SRT2 credit protection) to capture increased

downside risk.

The following tables show the key macroeconomic variables used in the five scenarios (5-year annual paths) and the

weights applied to each scenario.

Regulatory minimum requirements

Capital

As at 31 March 2026, the Group’s Overall Capital Requirement for CET1, excluding any applicable PRA buffer, was 12.2%

and comprised a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important

Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.7% Pillar 2A requirement and a 1.0% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).

The Group’s CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group has exposures. The buffer

rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material.

The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement is 4.8% with at least 56.25% to be met with CET1 capital, equating to 2.7% 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 minimum capital requirements and applicable buffers. The

Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements and applicable buffers.

Leverage

As at 31 March 2026, the Group was subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.1%. This comprised 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 0.3%. 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

As at 31 March 2026, the Group was required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.8% Pillar 2A

equating to 25.5% of RWAs; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and

the buffers, meaning that the buffers, including any applicable confidential institution-specific Prudential Regulation

Authority (PRA) buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

Significant regulatory updates in the period

In January 2026, the PRA confirmed the final implementation timetable for the UK Basel 3.1 framework. The PRA’s final rules

reaffirm that Basel 3.1 will be implemented from 1 January 2027.

The PRA also confirmed its approach to the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), under which implementation

of the Internal Models Approach (IMA) will be deferred to 1 January 2028, while all other FRTB components will take effect

from 1 January 2027.

floating rates, where the floating rates are based upon different underlying reference indices. In a forward rate agreement,

two parties agree a future settlement of the difference between an agreed rate and a future interest rate, applied to a notional

internal credit risk model. The IRB approach is divided into two alternative applications, Advanced and Foundation:  Advanced

Internal Ratings Based (A-IRB): the bank uses its own estimates of Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and

credit conversion factor to model a given risk exposure.  Foundation Internal Ratings Based (F-IRB): the bank applies its own

PD as for A-IRB, but it uses standard parameters for the LGD and the credit conversion factor. The F-IRB approach is

specifically designed for wholesale credit exposures. Hence retail, equity, securitisation positions and non-credit obligations

asset exposures are treated under standardised or A-IRB.
