Notes

The terms Barclays and Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the six months ended 30 June 2024 to the corresponding six months of 2023 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 June 2024 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2023 and 30 June 2023. 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 31 July 2024, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023, 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) have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

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

Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal 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 89 to 94 for definitions and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

Forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as 'may', 'will', 'seek', 'continue', 'aim', 'anticipate', 'target', 'projected', 'expect', 'estimate', 'intend', 'plan', 'goal', 'believe', 'achieve' or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by directors, officers and employees of the Group (including during management presentations) in connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group's future financial position, 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 environmental, social and governance (ESG) 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 ESG reporting standards; 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; environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group's control; 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; the direct and indirect consequences of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; political elections, including the impact of the UK, European and US elections in 2024; developments in the UK's relationship with the European Union ("EU"); 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 Group's ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these factors are beyond the Group's control. As a result, the Group's actual financial position, results, financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures or its ability to meet commitments and targets may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements. In setting its targets and outlook for the period 2024-2026, 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 2023), which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

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

Performance Highlights

Barclays delivered a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 11.1% in H124 and announced £1.2bn total capital distributions to shareholders in respect of the first half of 2024

C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, commented

"We are making good progress on our three-year plan, with a RoTE of 11.1% in the first half of 2024, which puts us on track for our target of greater than 10% RoTE in 2024. We completed the sale of the performing Italian mortgage book, announced the sale of the German consumer finance business, and are on track to complete the acquisition of Tesco Bank in November 2024. We announced a half year dividend of 2.9p per share alongside a share buyback of up to £750m, with total capital distributions to shareholders of £1.2bn in respect of the the first half of 2024."

• H124 Group statutory RoTE of 11.1%, and 12.0% excluding inorganic activity¹. 2024 RoTE targets remain unchanged

- Q224 Group statutory RoTE of 9.9% and 11.8% excluding inorganic activity

- Impact of inorganic activity was broadly neutral to the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio which was 13.6% at Q224

• Completed the £1bn share buyback announced with FY23 Results. Announced intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £750m and a dividend of 2.9p per share for H124

• Guidance for 2024 Group Net Interest Income (NII) excluding Investment Bank (IB) and Head Office increased from c.£10.7bn to c.£11.0bn. Within this, Barclays UK NII guidance increased from c.£6.1bn to c.£6.3bn

- Increase driven by the higher than expected interest rate environment and improving deposit dynamics and excludes the Tesco Bank acquisition², which is expected to complete at the beginning of November 2024

• Group cost: income ratio of 62% in H124. Target of c.63% in 2024 remains unchanged

- Delivered a further £0.2bn of gross cost efficiency savings in Q224 resulting in H124 savings of £0.4bn. Remain on track to deliver c.£1bn of gross cost efficiency savings in 2024

Q224 Performance highlights:

• Group statutory RoTE was 9.9% (Q223: 11.4%) with profit before tax of £1.9bn (Q223: £2.0bn) including the impact of inorganic activity¹

- Excluding the impact of inorganic activity, Group RoTE was 11.8%

• Group income of £6.3bn was up 1% year-on-year, with Group NII excluding IB and Head Office of £2.7bn, of which Barclays UK NII was £1.6bn

- Barclays UK income decreased 4%, as higher structural hedge income was more than offset by mortgage margin pressure and adverse product dynamics in deposits, which have improved in Q224, in addition to the transfer of Wealth Management & Investments (WM&I) to Barclays Private Bank and Wealth Management (PBWM)³

- Barclays UK Corporate Bank (UKCB) income decreased 6%, as increased deposit income in the higher interest rate environment was more than offset by lower liquidity pool income

- PBWM income increased 7%, reflecting client balance growth, including the transfer of WM&I from Barclays UK³, and the benefit from the higher interest rate environment, partially offset by adverse deposit dynamics

- IB income increased 10%. Global Markets income increased 5%, with Equities income up 24% partially offset by FICC income which was down 3%. In Investment Banking, higher fee income, particularly in Debt and Equity capital markets, was partially offset by lower income in the International Corporate Bank

- Barclays US Consumer Bank (USCB) income increased 7%, reflecting higher cards balances

• Group total operating expenses were £4.0bn, up 1% year-on-year, reflecting investment spend and business growth, with £0.2bn of efficiency savings more than offsetting inflation

• Credit impairment charges were £0.4bn (Q223: £0.4bn) with an LLR of 38bps (Q223: 37bps)

• Credit impairment charges were £0.9bn (H123: £0.9bn) with an LLR of 45bps (H123: 44bps)

• CET1 ratio of 13.6% (December 2023: 13.8%), with risk weighted assets (RWAs) of £351.4bn (December 2023: £342.7bn) and tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share of 340p (December 2023: 331p)

Group Financial Targets and Outlook:

2024

• Returns: targeting RoTE of greater than 10% and c.10.5% excluding inorganic activity¹

• Income: targeting Barclays Group NII excluding IB and Head Office of c.£11.0bn (up from previous target of c.£10.7bn), of which Barclays UK NII of c.£6.3bn (up from previous target of c.£6.1bn)²

• Costs: targeting Group cost: income ratio of c.63%, which includes c.£1bn of gross efficiency savings in 2024

• Impairment: expect an LLR of 50-60bps through the cycle

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

2026

• Returns: targeting a greater than 12% RoTE

• Capital returns: plan to return at least £10bn of capital to shareholders between 2024 and 2026, through dividends and share buybacks, with a continued preference for buybacks. Plan to keep total dividend stable at 2023 level in absolute terms, with progressive dividend per share growth driven through share count reduction as a result of increased share buybacks. Dividends will continue to be paid semi-annually. This multi-year plan is subject to supervisory and Board approval, anticipated financial performance and our published CET1 ratio target range of 13-14%

• Income: targeting Group total income of c.£30bn

• Impairment: expect an LLR of 50-60bps through the cycle

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

- Targeting IB RWAs of c.50% of Group RWAs in 2026

- Impact of regulatory change on RWAs in line with prior guidance, expected to be at lower end of 5-10% of Group RWAs. This includes c.£16bn of RWAs expected during Q125 due to USCB moving to IRB models

1	Inorganic activity refers to certain inorganic transactions announced as part of the FY23 Investor Update designed to improve Group RoTE beyond 2024. In Q224 and H124 these include the £220m loss on sale of the performing Italian retail mortgage portfolio and the £20m loss on disposal from the German consumer finance business.
2	This excludes the 2024 impact of the acquisition of Tesco Bank's retail banking business, which is expected to complete at the beginning of November 2024 subject to court sanction and regulatory approvals. It is expected to generate annualised NII of c.£400m in the first year post-completion. See Other Matters on page 7 for further details of the acquisition.

Inorganic activity refers to certain inorganic transactions announced as part of the FY23 Investor Update designed to improve Group RoTE beyond 2024. In Q224 and H124 these include the £220m loss on sale of the performing Italian retail mortgage portfolio and the £20m loss on disposal from the German consumer finance business.

Group Finance Director's Review

Group performance

• Barclays delivered a H124 profit before tax of £4,215m (H123: £4,562m), RoTE of 11.1% (H123: 13.2%) and earnings per share (EPS) of 18.6p (H123: 19.9p)

• Group income decreased 2% to £13,277m. Excluding the impact of inorganic activity, comprising the £220m loss on sale of the performing Italian retail mortgage portfolio and the £20m loss on disposal from the German consumer finance business, Group income was broadly stable, as higher structural hedge income, higher Investment Banking fees, increased income in Equities and balance growth in USCB were offset by lower FICC income as well as adverse product dynamics in Barclays UK deposits and mortgages

• Group total operating expenses increased to £8,181m (H123: £8,062m), including the £120m estimated impact of the BoE levy scheme in Q124

- Group operating costs were stable at £7,997m, with £0.4bn of cost efficiency savings more than offsetting inflation, enabling investment spend and business growth

• Credit impairment charges were £897m (H123: £896m), driven by the anticipated higher delinquencies in US cards partially offset by the impact of the improved macroeconomic outlook across portfolios. Total coverage ratio remains stable at 1.4% (December 2023: 1.4%)

• The effective tax rate (ETR) was 21.2% (H123: 20.0%)

• Attributable profit was £2,787m (H123: £3,111m)

• Total assets increased to £1,576.6bn (December 2023: £1,477.5bn), driven by an increase in trading securities and secured lending in IB, and an increase in the liquidity pool due to growth in deposits

• TNAV per share increased to 340p (December 2023: 331p) including EPS of 18.6p and a 4p benefit from the reduction in share count as a result of the partial completion, as at 30 June 2024, of the £1.0bn share buyback announced at FY23 Results. These were partially offset by a 5p reduction from dividends paid during H124 and net negative other reserve movements

Group capital and leverage

• The CET1 ratio decreased to 13.6% (December 2023: 13.8%) as RWAs increased by £8.7bn to £351.4bn partially offset by an increase in CET1 capital of £0.4bn to £47.7bn:

- c.80bps increase from attributable profit

- c.50bps decrease driven by shareholder distributions including the £1.0bn share buyback announced with FY23 Results and an accrual towards the FY24 dividend

- c.20bps decrease from other capital movements

- c.40bps decrease as a result of an £8.7bn increase in RWAs due to seasonal increases relative to FY23 and elevated client trading activity in IB as well as regulatory model changes in Barclays UK

• The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.0% (December 2023: 5.2%) primarily due to a £54.4bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,222.7bn, largely driven by an increase in trading securities and secured lending in IB

Group funding and liquidity

• The liquidity metrics remain well 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 £328.7bn (December 2023: £298.1bn). The increase in the liquidity pool was primarily driven by deposit growth, particularly in International Corporate Bank and PBWM deposits

• The average¹ Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) increased to 167.0% (December 2023: 161.4%), equivalent to a surplus of £122.8bn (December 2023: £117.7bn)

• Total deposits increased by £18.7bn to £557.5bn (December 2023: £538.8bn)

• The average² Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 136.4% (December 2023: 138.0%), which represents a £165.9bn (December 2023: £167.1bn) surplus above the 100% regulatory requirement

• Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £182.2bn (December 2023: £176.8bn)

• The Group issued £9.7bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in H124. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 33.5%, which is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 30.1% plus a confidential, institution specific, Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer

Other matters

• Acquisition of Tesco Bank's retail banking business: on 9 February 2024, Barclays entered into an agreement with Tesco Personal Finance plc (operating using the trading name "Tesco Bank") to acquire certain assets and liabilities of its retail banking business. The proposed transfer is subject to High Court approval and, if approved, is expected to become effective on 1 November 2024. The acquisition is expected to increase RWAs by c.£8bn, reducing Barclays' CET1 ratio by c.30bps on completion

• FCA motor finance review: in January 2024, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced that it was appointing a skilled person to undertake a review of the historical use of discretionary commission arrangements and sales in the motor finance market across several firms. This follows two final decisions by the UK Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), including one upholding a complaint against Clydesdale Financial Services Limited (CFS) (a subsidiary of Barclays PLC) in relation to commission arrangements and disclosure in the sale of motor finance products and a number of complaints and court claims, including some against CFS. We have commenced a judicial review challenge against the FOS in the High Court in relation to this decision. Barclays will co-operate fully with the FCA's skilled person review, the outcome of which is unknown, including any potential financial impact. The FCA currently plans to set out next steps on this matter in May 2025. Barclays ceased operating in the motor finance market in late 2019 whilst CFS was a subsidiary of the Barclays Bank group

• BoE levy scheme: following parliamentary approval, the new levy process commenced in Q124 replacing the Cash Ratio Deposit scheme as a means of funding the Bank of England's monetary policy and financial stability operations. This change in scheme moves the charge from negative income recognised over the course of the year to an annual operating expense at the start of the levy year (running from 1 March to 28 February). Barclays' estimated contribution for the 2024/2025 financial year is £120m, reported in the UK regulatory levies account line. This will be partially offset by increased income of c.£75m through lower funding costs during 2024. The net impact of moving to the new scheme has been to reduce Group RoTE by c.0.3% in H124, with an expected full year impact of c.0.1%. The final charge for the 2024/2025 financial year is expected to be confirmed during Q324

• Disposal of Italian retail mortgages: on 24 April 2024, Barclays announced a transaction under which Barclays Bank Ireland PLC intended to dispose of its performing Italian retail mortgage portfolio, held in Head Office. The sale completed in Q224, generating a loss on disposal of £220m and reduced RWAs by £0.8bn. The transaction was broadly neutral to Barclays' CET1 ratio

- Barclays remains in discussion with respect to the disposals of the remaining non-performing and Swiss-Franc linked Italian retail mortgage portfolios. Should such sales occur, they are together expected to generate a further small loss on sale, but be broadly neutral to Barclays' CET1 ratio

• Disposal of German consumer finance business: on 4 July 2024, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC agreed the sale of its German consumer finance business (comprising credit cards, unsecured personal loans and deposits) to BAWAG P.S.K., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAWAG Group AG, for a small premium to net assets. When including disposal costs and accounting adjustments as required by IFRS 5 (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations), Barclays has recorded a £20m loss on the transaction within Head Office in Q224. Completion of the sale, which is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approvals and the sanction of the relevant courts, is expected to occur in Q424 or Q125. Once complete, the sale is expected to release c.£3.4bn of RWAs, increasing Barclays' CET1 ratio by c.10bps

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 20.4% supported by resilient returns, which includes investment in our transformation into a simpler, better and more balanced retail bank.

Income statement - H124 compared to H123

• Profit before tax remained stable at £1,539m with a RoTE of 20.4% (H123: 20.4%)

• Total income decreased 5% to £3,713m. NII decreased 4% to £3,146m, as continued structural hedge momentum was more than offset by mortgage margin pressure and adverse product dynamics in deposits, which have improved in Q224. Net fee, commission and other income decreased 12% to £567m primarily from the impact of the transfer of WM&I to PBWM¹

- Personal Banking income decreased 8% to £2,302m, driven by lower deposit volumes, changes in deposit mix where cost of living pressures and customers searching for yield have been primary factors, mortgage margin compression and the impact of the transfer of WM&I to PBWM. Structural hedge momentum has partially mitigated the impact of adverse product dynamics

- Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 6% to £457m due to lower interest earning lending balances, resulting from higher customer spend being more than offset by repayments

- Business Banking income increased 1% to £954m driven by continued structural hedge momentum, partially offset by lower government scheme lending as repayments continue and lower deposit volumes

• Total operating expenses decreased 3% to £2,108m, driven by the transfer of WM&I to PBWM partially offset by the impact of inflation. Ongoing efficiency savings continue to be reinvested, which includes investment in our transformation programme to drive sustainable improvement to the cost: income ratio

• Credit impairment charges were £66m (H123: £208m), driven by low delinquencies in UK cards, high quality mortgage lending portfolio and the improved macroeconomic outlook. UK cards 30 and 90 day arrears remained low at 0.8% (H123: 0.9%) and 0.2% (H123: 0.2%) respectively. The UK cards total coverage ratio was 6.1% (December 2023: 6.8%)

Balance sheet - 30 June 2024 compared to 31 December 2023

• Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost decreased by £4.1bn to £198.7bn, driven by subdued mortgage lending reflecting wider market factors and continued repayment of government scheme lending in Business Banking

• Customer deposits at amortised cost decreased £4.3bn to £236.8bn, driven by reduced Business Banking and retail current account balances, reflecting broader market trends. The loan: deposit ratio remained stable at 91% (December 2023: 92%)

• RWAs increased to £76.5bn (December 2023: £73.5bn), primarily driven by regulatory model changes

1	WM&I was transferred in May 2023.

UKCB delivered a RoTE of 16.6% (H123: 27.3%), with stable average deposits supporting strong returns despite lower liquidity pool income, continued investment to support growth ambitions and the estimated impact of the BoE levy scheme in Q124.

Income statement - H124 compared to H123

• Profit before tax decreased 36% to £368m (H123: £574m)

• Total income decreased 6% to £877m as increased deposit income in the higher interest rate environment was more than offset by lower liquidity pool income

• Total operating expenses increased 15% to £486m, reflecting higher ongoing spend to support growth ambitions and the estimated impact of the BoE levy scheme in Q124

• Credit impairment charges were £23m (H123: £60m release), driven by resilient underlying credit performance and limited single name charges. The release in the prior period was driven by the improved macroeconomic outlook

Balance sheet - 30 June 2024 compared to 31 December 2023

• Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost remained broadly stable at £25.7bn (December 2023: £26.4bn)

• Customer deposits at amortised cost remained broadly stable at £84.9bn (December 2023: £84.9bn)

• RWAs increased to £21.9bn (December 2023: £20.9bn) reflecting higher client lending limits, supporting future lending growth

PBWM delivered a RoTE of 29.7%, supported by 14% growth year on year in client balances to £198.5bn, which is predominantly driven by invested assets¹ as a result of market movements and underlying growth.

Income statement - H124 compared to H123

• Profit before tax decreased 10% to £199m with a RoTE of 29.7% (H123: 35.2%)

• Total income increased 13% to £632m. NII decreased 1% to £362m mainly due to adverse deposit dynamics reflecting wider market trends, partially offset by higher deposit balances and the benefit from the higher interest rate environment. Net fee, commission and other income increased 41% to £270m reflecting the transfer of WM&I from Barclays UK³ and invested assets growth

• Total operating expenses increased 34% to £436m, reflecting the transfer of WM&I from Barclays UK and higher ongoing spend, including hiring, to support business growth

Balance sheet - 30 June 2024 compared to 31 December 2023

• Client assets and liabilities increased £15.6bn to £198.5bn, driven by £11.0bn increase in invested assets as a result of market movements and underlying growth, as well as £4.3bn increase in deposits and £0.3bn increase in gross loans to clients

• Deposits at amortised cost increased £4.3bn to £64.6bn, driven by underlying growth from client inflows

• RWAs were stable at £7.0bn (December 2023: £7.2bn)

IB delivered a RoTE of 10.8% (H123: 11.1%) reflecting the benefit of diversified income streams with an increase in Equities and Banking fees and underwriting income, offset by a decrease in FICC and International Corporate Bank income. Costs were marginally up while impairment remained below prior year, reflecting improved macroeconomic outlook.

Income statement - H124 compared to H123

• Profit before tax increased to £2,411m (H123: £2,365m)

• Total income increased 1% to £6,347m (H123: £6,312m)

- Global Markets income decreased 3% to £4,132m as increased income in Equities was more than offset by lower income in FICC. Equities income increased 25% to £1,579m, driven by growth across products reflecting increased client activity in derivatives and growth in financing balances, additionally supported by a £125m fair value gain on Visa B shares in Q124. FICC income decreased 14% to £2,553m, reflecting lower client activity in Macro and the non-repeat of the inflation benefit from prior year, partially offset by strong performance in securitised products

- Investment Banking income increased 7% to £2,215m

- Banking fees and underwriting income increased 21% to £1,296m. Equity capital markets fees increased 59% reflecting strong Q224 performance including fees booked on a large UK rights issue. Debt capital markets fees increased 34% driven by increased activity in leverage finance and investment grade issuance, partially offset by Advisory fee income which decreased 16%

- International Corporate Bank income decreased 8% to £919m, mainly driven by Transaction banking as a result of margin compression as customers migrate to higher interest returning products and lower liquidity pool income. Corporate lending income is broadly stable

• Total operating expenses increased 2% to £3,902m reflecting Q224 structural costs actions, inflation and the estimated impact of the BoE levy scheme in Q124, partially offset by efficiency savings

• Credit impairment charges were £34m (H123: £102m), driven by single name charges, partially offset by the benefit of credit protection and the improved macroeconomic outlook

Balance sheet - 30 June 2024 compared to 31 December 2023

• Loans and advances at amortised costs increased £6.0bn to £114.9bn driven by increased investment in debt securities in Treasury and increased lending in Global Markets

• Trading portfolio assets increased £22.7bn to £197.2bn driven by increased trading in debt securities as we facilitate client demand in Global Markets

• Derivatives assets and liabilities remained broadly stable at £251.4bn and £241.8bn respectively reflecting a decrease in Macro due to lower market volatility, offset by increased client activity in Equities

• Financial assets at fair value through the income statement increased £9.2bn to £211.7bn driven by increased secured lending

• Deposits at amortised cost increased £18.6bn to £151.3bn driven by growth in deposits, primarily in International Corporate Bank

The Group excluding IB and Head Office NIM has increased by 1bp from 4.15% in H123 to 4.16% in H124, due to higher cards balances in USCB and continued structural hedge momentum, partially offset by mortgage margin pressure and adverse product dynamics in deposits in Barclays UK.

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 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 FVTPL and underlying hedged items at amortised cost) within the cash flow hedge reserve. Overall the Group has external derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that hedge interest rate risk with a notional £112bn (December 2023: £128bn) which reflects the structural hedge notional of £239bn (December 2023: £246bn) netted with non-structural hedging positions of £127bn (December 2023: £118bn). The majority of these interest rate swaps are cleared with Central Clearing Counterparties and margined daily with an average duration of between 2.5 years and 3 years.

Gross structural hedge contributions were £2,222m (H123: £1,639m). 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.

Risk Management

Risk management and principal risks

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

The ERMF identifies nine principal risks: credit risk, market risk, treasury and capital risk, climate risk, operational risk, model risk, compliance risk, reputation risk and legal risk. Further detail on these principal risks and material existing and emerging risks and how such risks are managed is available in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2023, which can be accessed at home.barclays/annualreport. There have been no significant changes to these principal risks or previously identified material existing and emerging risks in the period and these risks are expected to be relevant for the remaining six months of this year.

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

Credit Risk

Loans and advances at amortised cost by geography

Total loans and advances at amortised cost in the credit risk performance 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 by stages of loans and advances at amortised cost and the impairment allowance. Also included are stage allocation of debt securities and off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by gross exposure, impairment allowance and coverage ratio.

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 corporate portfolios, impairment allowance on undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

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

The following tables present a reconciliation of the opening to the closing balance of the exposure and impairment allowance.

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

The movements are measured over a six-month period.

The £2.9bn of gross disposals reported within Retail mortgages relate to sale of the performing Italian mortgage portfolio. The £954m of gross disposals reported within Retail credit cards include £876m sale of the outstanding US Cards receivables to Blackstone and £78m of other debt sales undertaken during the period.

Refinements to models used for calculation reported within Retail credit cards include a £43m movement in the US Cards and a £(30)m movement in the UK Cards portfolio. These reflect model enhancements made during the period. Barclays continually reviews the output of models to determine accuracy of the ECL calculation including review of model monitoring, external benchmarking and experience of model operation over an extended period of time. This helps to ensure that the models used continue to reflect the risks inherent across the businesses.

Management adjustments to models for impairment

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

Management adjustments are captured through "Economic uncertainty" and "Other" adjustments, and are presented by product and geography below:

Economic uncertainty adjustments

Models have been developed with data from non-inflationary periods establishing a relationship between input variables and customer delinquency based on past behaviour. As such there is a risk that the modelled output fails to capture the appropriate response to changes in macroeconomic variables including high interest rates with modelled impairment provisions impacted by uncertainty.

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

Economic uncertainty adjustments have reduced during the period reflecting the updated macroeconomic outlook.

The balance as at 30 June 2024 is £151m (December 2023: £198m) and includes:

Customer and client uncertainty provisions of £129m (December 2023: £166m):

• Retail mortgages (UK) £20m (December 2023: £25m): This adjustment reflects the risk of borrowers refinancing onto higher rates in the medium term and remains broadly stable compared to year-end.

• Retail credit cards (UK) £45m (December 2023: £45m) and Retail other (UK) £9m (December 2023: £9m): These reflect adjustments applied to customers considered most vulnerable to affordability pressures in light of uncertainty linked to higher for longer interest rates and are unchanged from year-end.

• Corporate loans:

- UK £55m (December 2023: £71m): This adjustment reflects the possible cross default risk on Barclays' lending in respect of clients who have taken bounce back loans and is partially reduced on account of the latest credit performance.

- ROW £nil (December 2023: £16m): The previously held adjustment to provide for expected downside uncertainties on European Corporates has been retired following a resilient credit performance and updated macroeconomic outlook.

Model uncertainty provisions of £22m (December 2023: £32m):

• Retail mortgages (UK) £22m (December 2023: £32m): This adjustment remediates the higher recovery expectations impacted by model oversensitivity to certain macroeconomic variables and has reduced following the updated macroeconomic outlook.

Other adjustments

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

Other adjustments of £244m (December 2023: £179m) includes:

Adjustments for definition of default (DOD) under the Capital Requirements Regulation and model monitoring in Retail mortgages, Retail other and Corporate loans.

• Retail mortgages (UK) £128m (December 2023: £121m): The increase reflects re-sizing of the DOD adjustment informed by credit performance.

• Retail other (UK) £70m (December 2023: £62m): The increase reflects re-sizing of model monitoring and operational adjustments in the UK and PBWM portfolio.

• Corporate loans:

- UK £23m (December 2023: £10m): The movement reflects the reduction of an adjustment to remediate conservative modelled recovery expectations in the ESHLA portfolio. This reduction has been partially offset by the re-sizing of DOD and model monitoring adjustments in SME lending.

- ROW £36m (December 2023: £(4)m): The movement is driven by an adjustment introduced to align the credit conversion factor on revolving credit facilities within the IB portfolio to Basel 3.1.

• Debt securities £(9)m: This reflects an adjustment applied to Exposure at Default (EAD) within the IB portfolio to remediate an overly conservative modelled amortisation expectation.

Measurement uncertainty

Scenarios used to calculate the Group's expected credit losses charge were refreshed in Q224 with the Baseline scenario reflecting the latest consensus macroeconomic forecasts available at the time of the scenario refresh. In the Baseline scenario, the UK economy is gradually recovering and is further stimulated as restrictive monetary policy starts loosening. US GDP growth falls to 1.7% in 2025 but then stabilises at 2.0%. Labour markets remain resilient. The average UK and US unemployment rates peak at 4.4% and 4.1% respectively in 2025 and remain at these levels for the rest of the 5-year projection period. With the significant decline in inflationary pressures, major central banks begin to cut rates in 2024. UK house prices keep falling in 2024 before stabilising and resuming the upward trend from 2025. The housing market in the US remains more resilient, with house prices continuing to grow.

In the Downside 2 scenario, inflationary pressures are assumed to intensify again, mainly driven by strong wage growth. Central banks raise rates further, with the UK bank rate and the US federal funds rate each reaching 8.5% in Q125. Major economies experience a rapid tightening of financial conditions alongside a significant increase in market volatility resulting in a sharp repricing of assets and higher credit losses. Central banks are forced to cut interest rates aggressively. Falling demand reduces UK and US GDP and headline inflation drops significantly. In the Upside 2 scenario, a rise in labour force participation and higher productivity contribute to accelerated economic growth without creating new inflationary pressures. With inflation continuing to fall, central banks lower interest rates, further stimulating aggregate demand, leading to reduced unemployment and healthy GDP growth.

The methodology for estimating scenario probability weights involves simulating a range of future paths for UK and US GDP using historical data with the five scenarios mapped against the distribution of these future paths. The median is centred around the Baseline with scenarios further from the Baseline attracting a lower weighting before the five weights are normalised to total 100%. The increases in the Upside scenario weightings were driven by the improvement in GDP in the Baseline scenario, bringing the Baseline scenario closer to the Upside scenarios. For further details see page 39.

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

1	Model exposures are allocated to a stage based on an individual scenario rather than a probability-weighted approach as required for Barclays reported impairment allowances. As a result, it is not possible to back solve the final reported weighted ECL from individual scenarios given balances may be assigned to a different stage dependent on the scenario.

3	Model exposures allocated to Stage 3 does not change in any of the scenarios as the transition criteria relies only on an observable evidence of default as at 30 June 2024 and not on macroeconomic scenario.
4	Material corporate loan defaults are individually assessed across different recovery strategies. As a result, ECL of £457m is reported as an individually assessed impairment in the reconciliation table.

The use of five scenarios with associated weightings results in a total weighted ECL uplift from the Baseline ECL of 0.9%.

Retail mortgages: Total weighted ECL of £296m represents a 2.8% increase over the Baseline ECL (£288m) with coverage ratios remaining steady across the Upside scenarios, Baseline and Downside 1 scenario. Under the Downside 2 scenario, total ECL increases to £385m driven by a fall in UK HPI.

Retail credit cards: Total weighted ECL of £3,707m is broadly aligned to the Baseline ECL (£3,702m). Total ECL increases to £4,024m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by an increase in UK and US unemployment rate.

Retail other: Total weighted ECL of £208m is broadly aligned to the Baseline ECL (£206m). Total ECL increases to £235m under the Downside 2 scenario, largely driven by an increase in UK unemployment rate.

Corporate loans: Total weighted ECL of £882m represents a 3.6% increase over the Baseline ECL (£851m). Total ECL increases to £1,347m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by a decrease in UK and US GDP.

New home loans bookings reduced 26% to £9.2bn (H123: £12.5bn) mainly driven by economic conditions that resulted in general mortgage market suppression, including higher mortgage payments due to higher rates.

Head Office: Italian home loans loans and advances at amortised cost reduced to £0.4bn (2023: £3.6bn) due to the disposal of the performing portfolio in Q224.The remaining portfolio is secured on residential property with an average balance weighted mark to market LTV of 73.9% (2023: 55.6%). 90-day arrears is 2.8% (2023: 2.4%) and gross charge-off rate increased to 2.2% (2023: 0.7%).

UK cards: 30 day and 90 day arrears rates have remained broadly stable at 0.8% (Q423: 0.9%) and 0.2% (Q423: 0.2%) respectively. Total exposure increased from £10.4bn to £10.9bn due to growth in spend and new lending promotional balances. Both gross and net write-offs increased to 1.7% (Q423: 1.4%) and 1.4% (Q423: 1.3%) respectively, reflecting further impact from the alignment of point of charge-off and write-off and a marginal increase in monthly flow.

UK personal loans: 30 and 90 day arrears rates have remained broadly stable at 1.4% (Q423: 1.5%) and 0.6% (Q423: 0.6%) respectively. Total exposure increased from £3.6bn to £3.8bn due to increased new lending. Both the gross and net write-off rates have remained broadly stable at 1.3% (Q423: 1.3%) and 1.1% (Q423: 1.0%) respectively.

Barclays Partner Finance: 30 and 90 day arrears rates have remained flat at 0.6% and 0.3% respectively. Total exposure fell to £1.8bn (Q423: £2.3bn) due to a strategic decision to reduce the number of active partner businesses. Both annualised gross and net write off rates increased by 0.3% to 1.0% respectively as a result of the reduction in total exposure.

US cards: 30 day arrears rates were flat (2.9%) as delinquency reduced in Q224 following an increase in Q124. 90 day arrears rates increased to 1.6% (2023: 1.5%) reflecting the increased flow into and through delinquency observed in Q124. The increase in both gross and net write-off rates reflected the overall delinquency trends through to charge-off lagged by the charge off to write off period of 12 months.

German consumer finance business: Gross exposure decreased by 4.6% as a result of phasing out Open Market loan originations from Q423. 30 day arrears rate increased marginally to 1.8% (Q423: 1.7%) driven by the decrease in gross exposure over the period. Lower debt sale prices in addition to the decrease in gross exposure led to higher write-off rates.

Market Risk

Analysis of management value at risk (VaR)

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

Diversification effects recognise that forecast losses from different assets or businesses are unlikely to occur concurrently, hence the expected aggregate loss is lower than the sum of the expected losses from each area. Historical correlations between losses are taken into account in making these assessments. The high and low VaR figures reported for each category did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low total management VaR. Consequently, a diversification effect balance for the high and low VaR figures would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the above table.

Average Management VaR decreased 26% to £29m (H223: £39m). The decrease was mainly driven by lower market volatility and credit spread levels in H124, as geopolitical tensions eased (relative to H223), inflation continued to decline and central banks started to cut rates.

Treasury and Capital Risk

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

Liquidity risk stress testing

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

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

As at 30 June 2024 the average LCR was 167.0% (December 2023: 161.4%). The Group held eligible liquid assets in excess of 100% of net stress outflows as measured according to both its internal ILST and external regulatory requirements.

Net Stable Funding Ratio

The external NSFR metric requires banks to maintain a stable funding profile taking into account both on and certain off balance sheet exposures over a medium to long term period. The ratio is defined as the Available Stable Funding (capital and certain liabilities which are treated as stable sources of funding) relative to the Required Stable Funding (a measure of assets on the balance sheet and certain off balance sheet exposures which may require longer term funding). The NSFR (average of last four quarter ends) as at 30 June 2024 was 136.4%, which was a surplus above requirements of £165.9bn.

1	Represents the average of the last four spot quarter end ratios.

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

1	The LCR eligible HQLA is adjusted under the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (CRR) part of the PRA rulebook for operational restrictions upon consolidation, such as trapped liquidity within Barclays subsidiaries. It also reflects differences in eligibility of assets between the LCR and Barclays' Liquidity Pool.
2	Includes cash held at central banks and surplus cash at central banks related to payment schemes. Over 99% (December 2023: over 99%) was placed with the Bank of England, US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and Swiss National Bank.
3	Of which over 81% (December 2023: over 80%) comprised UK, US, French, German, Japanese, Swiss and Dutch securities.

The Group liquidity pool increased to £329bn as at June 2024 (December 2023: £298bn) primarily driven by an increase in deposits, particularly in Corporate Bank and Private Bank deposits.

In June 2024, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from £315bn to £341bn (2023: £298bn to £342bn), and the month-end average balance was £326bn (2023: £328bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and represents readily accessible funds to meet potential cash outflows during stress periods.

As at 30 June 2024, 62% (December 2023: 59%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC, 21% (December 2023: 22%) in Barclays Bank UK PLC and 8% (December 2023: 11%) in Barclays Bank Ireland PLC. The residual portion of the liquidity pool is held outside of these entities, predominantly in US subsidiaries, to meet entity-specific stress outflows and local regulatory requirements. To the extent the use of this residual portion of the liquidity pool is restricted due to local regulatory requirements, it is assumed to be unavailable to the rest of the Group in calculating the LCR.

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

Funding structure and funding relationships

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

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

These funding relationships as at 30 June 2024 are summarised below:

1	Adjusted for liquidity pool debt securities reported at amortised cost of £18bn (December 2023: £18bn).
2	Other assets include fair value assets that are not part of reverse repurchase agreements or trading portfolio assets, and other asset categories.

Composition of wholesale funding

Wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was £182.2bn (December 2023: £176.8bn). In H124, the Group issued £9.7bn of MREL eligible instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in a range of tenors and currencies.

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

Wholesale funding of £58.9bn (December 2023: £58.6bn) matures in less than one year, representing 32% (December 2023: 33%) of total wholesale funding outstanding. This includes £20.8bn (December 2023: £18.7bn) related to term funding¹.

Credit ratings

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

Barclays Bank PLC	Standard & Poor's	Moody's	Fitch
Long-term	A+ / Stable	A1 / Stable	A+ / Stable
Short-term	A-1	P-1	F1

Barclays Bank UK PLC
Long-term	A+ / Stable	A1 / Stable	A+ / Stable
Short-term	A-1	P-1	F1

Barclays PLC
Long-term	BBB+ / Stable	Baa1 / Stable	A / Stable
Short-term	A-2	P-2	F1

In H124, S&P and Fitch affirmed all ratings for Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC.

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

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

Regulatory minimum requirements

Capital

The Group's Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 remained 12.0% comprising a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.6% Pillar 2A requirement and a 0.9% 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 as per the PRA's Individual Capital Requirement is 4.6% of which at least 56.25% needs to be met with CET1 capital, equating to 2.6% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement, based on a point in time assessment, has been set as a proportion of RWAs and is subject to at least annual review.

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

Leverage

The Group is subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.1%. This comprises the 3.25% minimum requirement, a G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.53% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB) of 0.3%. 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

The Group is required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.6% Pillar 2A equating to 25.2% of RWAs; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. In addition, the higher of regulatory capital and leverage buffers apply. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the buffers, meaning that the buffers, including the above mentioned confidential institution-specific PRA buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

- £1.0bn of share buybacks announced with FY23 results

- £0.6bn accrual towards the FY24 dividend

- £0.5bn of equity coupons paid and foreseen

• £0.5bn decrease in other qualifying reserves including a reduction in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve

Overall RWAs increased £8.7bn to £351.4bn (December 2023: £342.7bn).

Credit risk RWAs increased £5.2bn:

• A £2.5bn increase in book size due to business activity in IB and higher client lending limits within UKCB

• A £0.9bn decrease in acquisitions and disposals due to the sale of the performing Italian mortgage portfolio

• A £1.4bn decrease in book quality RWAs mainly driven by changes in risk parameters primarily within Barclays UK

• A £5.0bn increase in methodology and policy primarily driven by regulatory model changes in Barclays UK

Counterparty Credit risk RWAs increased £3.1bn:

• A £3.0bn increase in book size primarily due to seasonal increases in the Investment Bank, relative to FY23

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.0% (December 2023: 5.2%) primarily due to a £54.4bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,222.7bn, largely driven by an increase in trading securities and secured lending in IB.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The Directors (the names of whom are set out below) are required to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to do so. In making this assessment, the directors have considered information relating to present and future conditions. Each of the Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements set out on pages 61 to 66 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the UK, and that the interim management report herein includes a fair review of the information required by Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules 4.2.7R and 4.2.8R namely:

• an indication of important events that have occurred during the six months ended 30 June 2024 and their impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year

• any related party transactions in the six months ended 30 June 2024 that have materially affected the financial position or performance of Barclays during that period and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of Barclays in the six months ended 30 June 2024

Independent Review Report to Barclays PLC

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Barclays PLC ("the Company" or "the Group") to review the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2024 which comprises:

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

• the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2024;

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

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

• the related explanatory notes.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2024 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted for use in the UK and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA").

Basis for conclusion

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

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

Conclusions relating to going concern

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

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

Directors' responsibilities

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

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

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

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

Our responsibility

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

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

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

Financial Statement Notes

1. Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("the financial statements") for the six months ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR) of the UK's FCA, and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the UK.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 were prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRICs) as issued by the IASB and adopted by the UK.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used in the Barclays PLC Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2023.

1. Going concern

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

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

2. Other disclosures

The Credit risk disclosures on pages 27 to 46 form part of these interim financial statements.

It is Barclays' policy to declare and pay dividends on a semi-annual basis. The 2023 full year dividend of 5.3p per ordinary share was paid on 3 April 2024 to the shareholders on the Share Register on 1 March 2024. A half year dividend for 2024 of 2.9p (H123: 2.7p) per ordinary share will be paid on 20 September 2024.

For qualifying American Depositary Receipt (ADR) holders, the half year dividend of 2.9p per ordinary share becomes 11.6p per American Depositary Share (ADS) (representing four shares). The depositary bank will post the half year dividend on 20 September 2024 to ADR holders on the record at close of business on 16 August 2024.

The Directors have confirmed their intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £750m after the balance sheet date. The share buyback is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2024. The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2024 do not reflect the impact of the proposed share buyback, which will be accounted for as and when shares are repurchased by the Company.

The IFRS netting posted against derivative assets was £51bn including £9bn of cash collateral netted (December 2023: £56bn including £8bn cash collateral netted) and £51bn for liabilities including £10bn of cash collateral netted (December 2023: £54bn including £9bn of cash collateral netted). Derivative asset exposures would be £227bn (December 2023: £230bn) lower than reported under IFRS if netting were permitted for assets and liabilities with the same counterparty or for which the Group holds cash collateral of £32bn (December 2023: £31bn). Similarly, derivative liabilities would be £218bn (December 2023: £223bn) lower reflecting counterparty netting and cash collateral placed of £23bn (December 2023: £24bn). In addition, non-cash collateral of £11bn (December 2023: £10bn) was held in respect of derivative assets £4bn (December 2023: £4bn) was placed in respect of derivative liabilities. Collateral amounts are limited to net on balance sheet exposure so as to not include over-collateralisation.

9. Fair value of financial instruments

This section should be read in conjunction with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2023 which provides more detail about accounting policies adopted, valuation methodologies used in calculating fair value and the valuation control framework which governs oversight of valuations. There have been no changes in the accounting policies adopted or the valuation methodologies used.

Assets and liabilities reclassified between Level 1 and Level 2

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 (year ended 31 December 2023: no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2).

Level 3 movement analysis

The following table summarises the movements in the balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities during the period. The table shows gains and losses and includes amounts for all financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value transferred to and from Level 3 during the period. Transfers have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the period.

Asset and liability movements between Level 2 and Level 3 are primarily due to i) an increase or decrease in observable market activity related to an input or ii) a change in the significance of the unobservable input, with assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 if an unobservable input is deemed significant.

Valuation techniques and sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity analysis is performed on products with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) to generate a range of reasonably possible alternative valuations. The sensitivity methodologies applied take account of the nature of valuation techniques used, as well as the availability and reliability of observable proxy and historical data and the impact of using alternative models.

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

Current period valuation and sensitivity methodologies are consistent with those described within Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2023.

The effect of stressing unobservable inputs to a range of reasonably possible alternatives, alongside considering the impact of using alternative models, would be to increase fair values by up to £1,445m (December 2023: £1,290m) or to decrease fair values by up to £1,754m (December 2023: £1,633m) with substantially all the potential effect impacting profit and loss rather than reserves.

Significant unobservable inputs

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities recognised at fair value and classified as Level 3 are consistent with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2023.

Fair value adjustments

Key balance sheet valuation adjustments are quantified below:

• Exit price adjustments derived from market bid-offer spreads decreased by £59m to £(510)m.

• Uncollateralised derivative funding moved marginally from £(4)m to £5m.

• Derivative credit valuation adjustments decreased by £19m to £(190)m as a result of reduced uncollateralised asset exposure profile.

• Derivative debit valuation adjustments decreased by £33m to £111m as a result of the tightening of input credit spreads.

The Group uses the portfolio exemption in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement to measure the fair value of groups of financial assets and liabilities. Financial instruments are measured using the price that would be received to sell a net long position (i.e., an asset) for a particular risk exposure or to transfer a net short position (i.e., a liability) for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date under current market conditions. Accordingly, the Group measures the fair value of the group of financial assets and liabilities consistently with how market participants would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date.

Unrecognised gains as a result of the use of valuation models using unobservable inputs

The amount that has yet to be recognised in income that relates to the difference between the transaction price (the fair value at initial recognition) and the amount that would have arisen had valuation models using unobservable inputs been used on initial recognition, less amounts subsequently recognised, is £218m (December 2023: £205m) for financial instruments measured at fair value and £187m (December 2023: £192m) for financial instruments carried at amortised cost. There are additions and FX gains of £85m (December 2023: £136m FX loss) and amortisation and releases of £72m (December 2023: £57m) in amounts attributable to financial instruments measured at fair value and additions of £nil (December 2023: £nil) and amortisation and releases of £5m (December 2023: £24m) in amounts attributable to financial instruments measured at amortised cost.

Third party credit enhancements

Structured and brokered certificates of deposit issued by the Group are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States. The FDIC is funded by premiums that Barclays and other banks pay for deposit insurance coverage. The carrying value of these issued certificates of deposit that are designated under the IFRS 9 fair value option includes this third-party credit enhancement. The on-balance sheet value of these brokered certificates of deposit amounted to £3,829m (December 2023: £5,162m).

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

Valuation methodologies employed in calculating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost are consistent with those described within Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2023.

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

The Group performed an impairment review to assess the recoverability of its goodwill and intangible asset balances as at 31 December 2023. The outcome of this review is disclosed on pages 464-467 of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2023. No impairment was recognised as a result of the review as value in use exceeded carrying amount. A review of the Group's goodwill and intangible assets as at 30 June 2024 did not identify any factors indicating impairment.

	£m	£m

Own credit reserve	(702)	(240)
Other reserves and treasury shares	1,665	1,565
Total	(882)	(77)

Currency translation reserve

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

As at 30 June 2024, there was a cumulative gain of £3,587m (December 2023: £3,671m gain) in the currency translation reserve, a loss during the period of £84m (2023: loss of £1,101m) inclusive of tax credit of £4m (2023: £9m). This principally reflects the appreciation of GBP against EUR and JPY offset by GBP depreciating against USD during H1 2024, in contrast to the strengthening of GBP against USD and EUR during 2023.

Fair value through other comprehensive income reserve

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

As at 30 June 2024 there was a cumulative loss of £1,635m (December 2023: £1,366m loss) in the reserve. The loss during the period of £269m (2023: £194m gain) was principally driven by a £185m loss (2023: £299m gain) from the movement in fair value of bonds due to change in bond yields and a net gain of £186m transferred to the income statement (2023: £26m gain) and tax credit of £101m (2023: tax charge of £78m).

Cash flow hedging reserve

The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on effective cash flow hedging instruments that will be recycled to the income statement when the hedged transactions affect profit or loss.

As at 30 June 2024, there was a cumulative loss of £3,797m (December 2023: £3,707m loss) in the cash flow hedging reserve. The £90m loss in the period (2023: £3,528m gain) is driven by a £1,057m loss (2023: £3,120m gain) from fair value movements on interest rate swaps as major interest rate forward curves increased (2023: decreased), this was offset by £939m of accumulated losses transferred to the income statement (2023: £1,750m losses) and a tax benefit of £28m (2023: tax charge of £1,342m).

Own credit reserve

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

As at 30 June 2024 there was a cumulative loss of £702m (December 2023: £240m loss) in the own credit reserve, the loss of £462m during the period (2023: loss of £707m) principally reflects a £635m loss (2023: loss of £983m) from the tightening of credit spreads partially offset by tax credit of £173m (2023: tax credit of £273m).

Other reserves and treasury shares

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

As at 30 June 2024, there was a cumulative gain of £1,665m (December 2023: £1,565m gain). This principally reflects an increase of £97m (December 2023: increase of £209m) due to the repurchase of 389m shares (December 2023: 837m) as part of the share buybacks conducted in 2024 followed by £3m gain (December 2023: £8m loss) on account of decrease in treasury shares balance held in relation to employee share schemes.

15. Contingent liabilities and commitments

	As at 30.06.24	As at 31.12.23
Contingent liabilities and financial guarantees	£m	£m
Guarantees and letters of credit pledged as collateral security	17,052	17,353

Total	404,850	390,437

Further details on contingent liabilities, where it is not practicable to disclose an estimate of the potential financial effect on Barclays relating to legal and competition and regulatory matters can be found in Note 16.

16. Legal, competition and regulatory matters

The Group faces legal, competition and regulatory challenges, many of which are beyond our control. The extent of the impact of these matters cannot always be predicted but may materially impact our operations, financial results, condition and prospects. Matters arising from a set of similar circumstances can give rise to either a contingent liability or a provision, or both, depending on the relevant facts and circumstances.

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

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

1. Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC

Investigations into certain advisory services agreements and other proceedings

FCA proceedings

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

Other proceedings

In 2023, Barclays received requests for arbitration from two Jersey special purpose vehicles connected to PCP International Finance Limited asserting claims in relation to the October 2008 capital raising. Barclays is defending these claims.

Civil actions related to LIBOR and other benchmarks

Various individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to the alleged manipulation of LIBOR and/or other benchmarks.

USD LIBOR civil actions

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

The remaining claims are individual actions seeking unspecified damages with the exception of one lawsuit, in which the plaintiffs sought no less than $100m in actual damages and additional punitive damages against all defendants, including Barclays Bank PLC. The parties have reached a settlement in principle in respect of such lawsuit. The financial impact of this settlement is not expected to be material to the Group's operating results, cash flows or financial position. Some of the other lawsuits also seek trebling of damages under the Antitrust Act and RICO.

Sterling LIBOR civil actions

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

ICE LIBOR civil action

In 2020, an action related to the LIBOR benchmark administered by the Intercontinental Exchange Inc. and certain of its affiliates (ICE) was filed by a group of individual plaintiffs in the US District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of individual borrowers and consumers of loans and credit cards with variable interest rates linked to USD ICE LIBOR. The defendants' motion to dismiss the case was granted in 2022. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which was dismissed in 2023. The plaintiffs are appealing the dismissal.

Non-US benchmarks civil actions

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

Foreign Exchange civil actions

Various individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to alleged manipulation of Foreign Exchange markets.

US retail basis civil action

In 2015, a putative class action was filed against several international banks, including Barclays PLC and BCI, on behalf of a proposed class of individuals who exchanged currencies on a retail basis at bank branches (Retail Basis Claims). The SDNY has ruled that the Retail Basis Claims are not covered by the settlement agreement in the Consolidated FX Action. The Court subsequently dismissed all Retail Basis Claims against the Group and all other defendants. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The defendants' motion for summary judgment was granted in 2023, dismissing the plaintiffs' remaining claims. The plaintiffs appealed the decision and the dismissal was upheld by the appellate court in May 2024. The plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration was denied.

Non-US FX civil actions

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

The above-mentioned proceedings include two purported class actions filed against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BX, BCI and other financial institutions in the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) in 2019. The CAT refused to certify these claims in 2022 and in 2023, the Court of Appeal overturned the CAT's decision and found that the claims should be certified on an opt out basis. The Court of Appeal upheld the CAT's determination as to which of the two purported class representatives should be chosen to bring the claim. Barclays and the other financial institutions involved have obtained permission to appeal this decision to the UK Supreme Court.

Metals-related civil actions

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

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

US residential mortgage related civil action

There remains one US Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) related civil action arising from unresolved repurchase requests submitted by Trustees for certain RMBS, alleging breaches of various loan-level representations and warranties (R&Ws) made by Barclays Bank PLC and/or a subsidiary acquired in 2007. Barclays' motion to dismiss the action was denied in 2023. The parties are appealing the decision.

Government and agency securities civil actions

Treasury auction securities civil actions

Consolidated putative class action complaints filed in US federal court against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other financial institutions under the Antitrust Act and state common law allege that the defendants (i) conspired to manipulate the US Treasury securities market and/or (ii) conspired to prevent the creation of certain platforms by boycotting or threatening to boycott such trading platforms. The court dismissed the consolidated action in 2021. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint was granted in 2022. The plaintiffs appealed this decision, and in February 2024 the appellate court affirmed the dismissal. The plaintiffs did not seek US Supreme Court review, thereby concluding the matter.

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

Supranational, Sovereign and Agency bonds civil actions

Civil antitrust actions have been filed in the Federal Court of Canada in Toronto against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI, BX, Barclays Capital Securities Limited and Barclays Capital Canada, Inc. and other financial institutions alleging that the defendants conspired to fix prices and restrain competition in the market for US dollar-denominated Supranational, Sovereign and Agency bonds.

The parties have reached a settlement, which has received preliminary court approval and has been paid. The financial impact of the settlement is not material to the Group's operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Variable Rate Demand Obligations civil actions

Civil actions have been filed against Barclays Bank PLC and BCI and other financial institutions alleging the defendants conspired or colluded to artificially inflate interest rates set for Variable Rate Demand Obligations (VRDOs). VRDOs are municipal bonds with interest rates that reset on a periodic basis, most commonly weekly. An action in state court has been filed by private plaintiffs on behalf of the state of California. Three putative class action complaints have been consolidated in the SDNY. In the consolidated SDNY class action, certain of the plaintiffs' claims were dismissed in 2020 and 2022 and the plaintiffs' motion for class certification was granted in 2023, which means the case may proceed as a class action. The defendants are appealing this decision. In the California action, the California appeals court reversed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' claims in 2023.

Odd-lot corporate bonds antitrust class action

In 2020, BCI, together with other financial institutions, were named as defendants in a putative class action in the US. The complaint alleges a conspiracy to boycott developing electronic trading platforms for odd-lots and price fixing. The plaintiffs demand unspecified money damages. The defendants' motion to dismiss was granted in 2021, which the plaintiffs appealed. In July 2024, the Second Circuit vacated the judgment and remanded the case to the SDNY for further proceedings.

Credit Default Swap civil action

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

Interest rate swap and credit default swap US civil actions

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI, together with other financial institutions that act as market makers for interest rate swaps (IRS), are named as defendants in several antitrust actions, including one putative class action and individual actions brought by certain swap execution facilities, which are consolidated in the SDNY. The complaints allege the defendants conspired to prevent the development of exchanges for IRS and demand unspecified money damages. The parties have reached a settlement of the matter, which remains subject to final court approval. The financial impact of the settlement is not expected to be material to the Group's operating results, cash flows or financial position.

In 2017, Tera Group Inc. (Tera) filed a separate civil antitrust action in the SDNY claiming that certain conduct alleged in the IRS cases also caused Tera to suffer harm with respect to the Credit Default Swaps market. In 2019, the court dismissed Tera's claims for unjust enrichment and tortious interference but denied motions to dismiss the antitrust claims. Tera filed an amended complaint in 2020. Barclays' motion to dismiss all claims was granted in 2023. Tera is appealing the decision.

BDC Finance L.L.C.

In 2008, BDC Finance L.L.C. (BDC) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (NY Supreme Court), demanding damages of $298m, alleging that Barclays Bank PLC had breached a contract in connection with a portfolio of total return swaps governed by an ISDA Master Agreement (the Master Agreement). Following a trial, the court ruled in 2018 that Barclays Bank PLC was not a defaulting party, which was affirmed on appeal. In 2021, the trial court entered judgment in favour of Barclays Bank PLC for $3.3m and as yet to be determined legal fees and costs. BDC appealed. In 2022, the appellate court reversed the trial court's summary judgment decision in favour of Barclays Bank PLC and remanded the case to the lower court for further proceedings. The parties filed cross-motions on the scope of trial. In January 2024, the court ruled in Barclays' favour. BDC is appealing, and the trial is adjourned until the appeal is decided.

Civil actions in respect of the US Anti-Terrorism Act

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

The court granted the defendants' motions to dismiss three out of the six actions in the EDNY. The plaintiffs appealed in one action and the dismissal was affirmed, and judgment was entered, in 2023. The plaintiffs' motion to vacate the judgment is fully briefed. The other two dismissed actions in the EDNY were consolidated into one action. The plaintiffs in that action, and in one other action in the EDNY, filed amended complaints in 2023. The two other actions in the EDNY are currently stayed. Out of the two actions in the SDNY, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the first action. That action is stayed, and the second SDNY action is stayed pending any appeal on the dismissal of the first.

Shareholder derivative action

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

Derivative transactions civil action

In 2021, Vestia, a Dutch housing association, brought a claim against Barclays Bank PLC in the UK in the High Court in relation to a series of derivative transactions entered into with Barclays Bank PLC between 2008 and 2011, seeking damages of £329m. In May 2024, Barclays Bank PLC reached a settlement whereby Barclays paid €43.5m with no acknowledgement of liability. This matter is now closed.

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

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

Motor finance commission arrangements

In January 2024, the FCA announced that it was appointing a skilled person to undertake a review of the historical use of discretionary commission arrangements and sales in the motor finance market across several firms. This follows two final decisions by the UK Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), including one upholding a complaint against CFS (a subsidiary of Barclays PLC) in relation to commission arrangements and disclosure in the sale of motor finance products and a number of complaints and court claims, including some against CFS. We have commenced a judicial review challenge against the FOS in the High Court in relation to this decision. Barclays will co-operate fully with the FCA's skilled person review, the outcome of which is unknown, including any potential financial impact. The FCA currently plans to set out next steps on this matter in May 2025. Barclays ceased operating in the motor finance market in late 2019 whilst CFS was a subsidiary of Barclays Bank group.

Over-issuance of securities in the US

In 2022, executive management became aware that Barclays Bank PLC had issued securities materially in excess of the set amount under its US shelf registration statements.

In 2022, a purported class action claim was filed in the US District Court in Manhattan seeking to hold Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and former and current executives responsible for declines in the price of Barclays PLC's American depositary receipts, which the plaintiffs claim occurred as a result of alleged misstatements and omissions in its public disclosures. The defendants' motion to dismiss the case was granted in part and denied in part in February 2024. Barclays has filed a motion for reconsideration or, alternatively, permission to appeal the decision.

In addition, holders of a series of ETNs have brought a purported class action in federal court in New York against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, and former and current executives and board members in the US alleging, among other things, that Barclays' failure to disclose that these ETNs were unregistered securities misled investors and that, as a result, Barclays is liable for the holders' alleged losses following the suspension of further sales and issuances of such series of ETNs. The plaintiffs were granted leave to amend and filed a new complaint in March 2024. Barclays has filed a motion to dismiss.

In March 2024, a putative class action was filed in federal court in New York against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and former and current executives. The plaintiff purports to bring claims on behalf of a class of short sellers, alleging that their short positions suffered substantial losses when Barclays suspended new issuances and sales of VXX ETNs as a result of the over-issuance of securities.

2. Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC

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

In 2018, HMRC issued notices that have the effect of either removing certain Barclays overseas subsidiaries that have operations in the UK from Barclays' UK VAT group or preventing them from joining it. Supplies between members of a UK VAT group are generally free from VAT. The notices had both retrospective and prospective effect. Barclays has appealed HMRC's decisions to the First Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) in relation to both the retrospective VAT assessments and the on-going VAT payments made since 2018. £181m of VAT (inclusive of interest) was assessed retrospectively by HMRC covering the periods 2014 to 2018, of which approximately £128m is expected to be attributed to Barclays Bank UK PLC and £53m to Barclays Bank PLC. This retrospectively assessed VAT was paid in 2018 and an asset, adjusted to reflect expected eventual recovery, is recognised. Since 2018 Barclays has paid, and recognised as an expense, VAT on intra-group supplies from the relevant subsidiaries to the members of the VAT group. Trial was completed in Q2 2024 in respect of the ongoing VAT payments. Judgment is awaited.

3. Barclays PLC

Civil action in respect of Barclays' statements regarding the relationship between its former CEO and Jeffrey Epstein

In 2023, a purported class action was filed in federal court in California against Barclays PLC and a number of current and former members of the Board of Directors of Barclays PLC. The complaint seeks to hold the defendants responsible for declines in the price of Barclays PLC's American depositary receipts, which the plaintiffs claim occurred as a result of alleged misstatements and omissions in Barclays' public disclosures relating to its former CEO's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Alternative trading systems

In 2020, a claim was brought against Barclays PLC in the UK in the High Court by various shareholders regarding Barclays PLC's share price based on the allegations contained within a complaint by the New York State Attorney General (NYAG) in 2014, which alleged, among other things, that Barclays PLC and BCI engaged in fraud and deceptive practices in connection with LX, BCI's SEC-registered alternative trading system. The NYAG claim was settled in 2016, as previously disclosed. The more recent claim is currently due to go to trial on liability in October 2025 with a later trial to decide quantum issues. Barclays is defending the claim.

General

The Group is engaged in various other legal, competition and regulatory matters in the UK, the US and a number of other overseas jurisdictions. It is subject to legal proceedings brought by and against the Group which arise in the ordinary course of business from time to time, including (but not limited to) disputes in relation to contracts, securities, guarantees, debt collection, consumer credit, fraud, trusts, client assets, competition, data management and protection, intellectual property, money laundering, financial crime, employment, environmental and other statutory and common law issues.

The Group is also subject to enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, investigations and legal and other proceedings by regulators, governmental and other public bodies in connection with (but not limited to) consumer protection measures, measures to combat money laundering and financial crime, compliance with legislation and regulation, wholesale trading activity and other areas of banking and business activities in which the Group is or has been engaged. The Group is cooperating with the relevant authorities and keeping all relevant agencies briefed as appropriate in relation to these matters and others described in this note on an ongoing basis.

At the present time, Barclays PLC does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters and the matters specifically described in this note, there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular matter or matters (including formerly active matters or those matters arising after the date of this note) will not be material to Barclays PLC's results, operations or cash flows for a particular period, depending on, among other things, the amount of the loss resulting from the matter(s) and the amount of profit otherwise reported for the reporting period.

17. Related party transactions

Related party transactions in the half year ended 30 June 2024 were similar in nature to those disclosed in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2023. No related party transactions that have taken place in the half year ended 30 June 2024 have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during this period.

Appendix: Non-IFRS Performance Measures

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

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