Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Barclays PLC reported Q1 2026 results showing steady growth and strong capital. Group income rose 6% year-on-year to £8.2bn and profit before tax increased to £2.8bn. Return on tangible equity was 13.5% and basic earnings per share were 14.1p.

All divisions delivered double-digit returns, with the Investment Bank generating over £4bn of quarterly income for the first time and UK lending up 5% year-on-year. The cost:income ratio improved to 56% as operating costs grew slower than income.

Credit impairment charges increased to £823m, driving a higher loan loss rate of 74bps, including a £0.2bn single-name charge in the Investment Bank and additional management adjustments for geopolitical risk. Barclays increased its UK motor finance redress provision to £430m and now expects full-year 2026 loan losses to be around the top of its 50–60bps guidance range.

The balance sheet remained robust with a 14.1% CET1 capital ratio, £364.5bn of risk-weighted assets and tangible net asset value of 405p per share. Barclays announced a new £500m share buyback and reiterated targets of Group RoTE above 12% in 2026 and above 14% in 2028, alongside multi‑year capital return plans totalling at least £10bn for 2024‑2026 and more than £15bn for 2026‑2028.

Solid quarter with broad-based returns, higher impairments and continued capital returns.

return on tangible equity financial
"For Q126, Barclays delivered a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 13.5%"
Return on tangible equity measures how much profit a company generates for common shareholders using the ‘‘hard’’ capital on its balance sheet—equity after removing intangible items like goodwill and patents. Investors use it to judge the firm’s core profitability and capital efficiency, because it shows profit per dollar of tangible, real assets; think of it as earnings earned on cash, buildings and machinery rather than on acquired goodwill.
Common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio financial
"Our capital position remains robust with a 14.1% common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio"
The common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio is a measure of a bank’s financial strength, showing how much high-quality capital it has compared to its risk-weighted assets. Think of it as a safety buffer or cushion that helps ensure the bank can withstand financial stress. A higher CET1 ratio indicates a stronger position, which is important for investors because it signals greater stability and resilience.
loan loss rate financial
"Q126 Group loan loss rate (LLR) of 74bps included a £0.2bn single name impairment"
structural hedge financial
"higher structural hedge income was partially offset by retail deposit dynamics"
liquidity coverage ratio financial
"The average 2 LCR was 165.4% (December 2025: 170.0%), equivalent to a surplus"
The liquidity coverage ratio is a banking rule that measures whether a bank has enough high-quality, easy-to-sell assets to cover expected net cash outflows for 30 days. Think of it as a household’s emergency fund that must cover a month of bills; for investors, a higher ratio means the bank is better positioned to survive short-term stress, reducing the risk of fire sales, funding problems, or sudden capital needs that can hurt the share price.

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 40 to 48 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 sustainability-related commitments and targets), plans and objectives for future operations, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and other statements that are not historical or current facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: changes in legislation, regulations, governmental and regulatory policies, expectations and actions, voluntary codes of practices and the interpretation thereof, changes in IFRS and other accounting standards, including practices with regard to the interpretation and application thereof and emerging and developing sustainability reporting standards (including emissions accounting methodologies); changes in tax laws and practice; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; the Group's ability along with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively or navigate inconsistencies and conflicts in the manner in which climate policy is implemented in the regions where the Group operates, including as a result of the adoption of rules and regulations taking a different or opposing position on sustainability matters, or other forms of governmental and regulatory action against sustainability policies; environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group's control; financial crime; the impact of competition in the banking and financial services industry; capital, liquidity, leverage and other regulatory rules and requirements applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions, including inflation; volatility in credit and capital markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; reforms to benchmark interest rates and indices; higher or lower asset valuations; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by it; changes in counterparty risk; changes in consumer behaviour; changes in trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs or other protectionist measures; the direct and indirect consequences of the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; changes in US legislation and policy; developments in the UK's relationship with the European Union; the risk of cyberattacks, information or security breaches, technology failures or operational disruptions and any subsequent impact on the Group's reputation, business or operations; the use of new technology, including artificial intelligence; the Group's ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures and other strategic transactions. A number of these factors are beyond the Group's control. As a result, the Group's actual financial position, results, financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures or its ability to meet commitments and targets may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements. In setting its targets and outlook for the period 2026-2028, Barclays has made certain assumptions about the macroeconomic environment, including, without limitation, inflation, interest and unemployment rates, the different markets and competitive conditions in which Barclays operates, and its ability to grow certain businesses and achieve costs savings and other structural actions. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group's future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC's filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2025), which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
 
Subject to Barclays PLC's obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the UK and the US) in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Performance Highlights
 
For Q126, Barclays delivered a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 13.5%, announced a £500m buyback and reiterated all 2026 and 2028 targets
 
C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, commented
"Barclays delivered another solid quarter with a 13.5% RoTE in Q126, and double-digit returns in all our businesses. This was despite a one-off charge and impairments in the quarter. Top line income grew 6% year-on-year, driven by broad based divisional performance including in the Investment Bank, where we generated over £4bn quarterly income for the first time. The cost: income ratio improved to 56% and earnings per share (EPS) grew by 8% to 14.1p. Our capital position remains robust with a 14.1% common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio and we are announcing a £500m buyback today. The breadth and quality of our businesses mean we remain confident in delivering all our financial targets across a range of environments. This includes greater than 12% RoTE in 2026 and greater than 14% RoTE in 2028."

Group Finance Director's Review
 
Q126 Group performance
 
 
Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £2,814m (Q125: £2,719m), RoTE of 13.5% (Q125: 14.0%) and EPS of 14.1p (Q125: 13.0p)
 
The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 7% year-on-year appreciation of average GBP against USD negatively impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
 
 
Group income increased 6% to £8,163m, as increased NII, supported by higher structural hedge income and lending growth, and higher income in Global Markets and Investment Banking fees, were partially offset by net losses on fair value lending in IB1
 
 
Group total operating expenses increased to £4,547m (Q125: £4,365m)
 
 
-
 
Group operating costs increased 2% to £4,359m, reflecting further investment spend, business growth and inflation, partially offset by c.£150m of cost efficiency savings and FX movements
 
-
 
Litigation and conduct charges of £104m primarily reflected a £105m increase in the provision for the FCA motor finance redress scheme
 
Credit impairment charges increased to £823m (Q125: £643m), primarily driven by a single name charge of £228m in IB. Uncertainty persists and this is reflected in a net £20m increase in related management adjustments. As a result, total coverage ratio increased to 1.3% (December 2025: 1.2%)
 
 
The effective tax rate (ETR) was 22.7% (Q125: 22.8%)
 
 
Attributable profit was £1,932m (Q125: £1,864m)
 
 
Total assets increased to £1,694.8bn (December 2025: £1,544.2bn) driven by higher activity in Global Markets as we continue to support clients through a range of environments
 
 
TNAV per share decreased to 405p (December 2025: 409p) as EPS of 14.1p and a 3p benefit from the currency translation reserve was more than offset by an 11p negative movement in the cash flow hedging reserve, a 6p impact from FY25 dividends paid in Q126, and 6p impact from share awards vesting
 
 
Group capital and leverage
 
 
The CET1 ratio decreased to 14.1% (December 2025: 14.3%). Taking into account the impact of the £500m share buyback announced today, the CET1 ratio as of 31 March 2026 would be reduced to 13.9% (at the top end of the 13-14% target range)
 
 
The 26bps decrease in the CET1 ratio at Q126, driven by an RWAs increase of £7.7bn to £364.5bn, partially offset by an increase in CET1 capital of £0.1bn to £51.2bn, was due to:
 
 
-
 
53bps increase from attributable profit
 
 
-
 
41bps decrease driven by shareholder distributions including the £1.0bn share buyback announced with FY25 results and the accrual for the FY26 dividend 
 
 
-
 
17bps decrease from other CET1 capital movements, including the net impact of share awards vesting
 
 
-
 
22bps decrease as a result of a £5.5bn increase in RWAs, excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements,  primarily driven by lending growth in UK businesses and higher activity in Global Markets
 
 
-
 
A £0.4bn increase in CET1 capital due to an increase in the currency translation reserve was partially offset by a £2.1bn increase in RWAs as a result of foreign exchange movements
 
The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.8% (December 2025: 5.1%) as the leverage exposure increased by £74.0bn to £1,321.3bn (December 2025: £1,247.3bn). The increase in leverage exposure was primarily driven by higher activity in Global Markets
 
Group funding and liquidity
 
 
The liquidity metrics remain above regulatory requirements, underpinned by well-diversified sources of funding, a stable global deposit franchise and a highly liquid balance sheet
 
 
The liquidity pool was £326.1bn, a decrease of £11.7bn from December 2025. The decrease in the liquidity pool was primarily driven by increased utilisation across Markets and Investment Banking and higher Treasury usage
 
 
The average2 LCR was 165.4% (December 2025: 170.0%), equivalent to a surplus of £125.9bn (December 2025: £131.2bn)
 
 
Total deposits increased to £587.6bn (December 2025: £585.6bn), primarily driven by deposit growth in International Corporate Bank in IB
 
 
The average3 Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 135.4% (December 2025: 135.2%), which represents a £166.9bn surplus (December 2025: £166.3bn) above the 100% regulatory requirement
 
 
1
 
Q126 includes c.£40m of fair value losses on lending. Q125 included c.£105m of fair value gains on leverage finance lending.
 
2
 
Represents average of the last 12 spot month end ratios. In June 2025, Barclays implemented a new methodology for calculating net stress outflows related to secured financing transactions in the liquidity coverage ratio.
 
3
 
Represents average of the last four spot quarter end ratios.
 
 
Group funding and liquidity (continued)
 
 
Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £227.0bn (December 2025: £220.1bn)
 
The Group issued £3.0bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) as of Q126. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 35.4%, which is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 30.5% excluding any applicable Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer
 
Other matters
 
 
Motor finance commission arrangements:
From 2003 to late 2019, Barclays, through Clydesdale Financial Services Limited (CFSL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the group, provided motor finance to customers in the UK. In January 2024, the FCA appointed a skilled person to review the historical use of discretionary commission arrangements and sales in the UK motor finance market. In October 2025, the FCA consulted on an industry-wide redress scheme for eligible motor finance customers, and Barclays engaged with the FCA as part of this process. In March 2026, the FCA published its final rules giving effect to two redress schemes for eligible motor finance customers where a commission was payable by the lender to the broker (one scheme for each of the pre and post 1 April 2014 periods). Barclays increased its provision in Q126 by £105m to reflect the expected financial impact of the redress schemes. The increase in provision is primarily driven by moving from a multi-scenario approach to a single scenario based on the FCA's final rules and higher compensatory interest. This resulted in a provision of £430m in respect of this matter as at 31 March 2026 (as at 31 December 2025: £325m). The provision as at 31 March 2026 reflects Barclays' estimate of cases in scope of the FCA redress schemes, the anticipated level of customer redress under the FCA's methodology (including compensatory interest at a minimum of 3% per annum), the estimated customer response rate (with reference to prior remediation exercises across the Group), and implementation costs. The ultimate financial impact could differ from the current estimate due to factors such as customer response rates and average cost of redress. Barclays has decided not to challenge the FCA's final rules in the interests of enabling a swift resolution for customers. However, Barclays strongly disagrees with aspects which require financial redress even where customers suffered no demonstrable financial harm. Barclays understands that it is likely there will be at least one legal challenge to the FCA's final rules. The legal and regulatory outcomes and the nature, extent and timing of any remediation action, therefore remain uncertain. Barclays has not incorporated the potential impact of any legal challenge into the provision estimate.
 
 
USCB portfolio changes in Q226:
 
-
American Airlines co-branded credit card portfolio exit: On 24 April 2026 Barclays exited its American Airlines co-branded credit card partnership, releasing c.$5bn of RWAs and generating an estimated gain on sale of c.$300m
 
-
Best Egg, Inc. (Best Egg) acquisition: On or around 1 May 2026, Barclays expects to complete the acquisition of Best Egg for $800m, subject to customary post-completion purchase price adjustments and satisfaction of remaining conditions to closing. Best Egg is a leading US direct-to-consumer personal loan origination platform focused on prime borrowers. The acquisition is expected to generate c.$500m of goodwill and intangibles
 
-
The estimated net impact of both transactions is expected to marginally increase the Barclays Group CET1 ratio in Q226

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 19.7% (Q125: 17.4%) supported by robust income, disciplined cost management and underpinned by strong asset quality
 
Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125
 
Profit before tax increased 14% to £863m
 
 
Total income increased 9% to £2,258m. NII increased 9% to £1,986m, as higher structural hedge income was partially offset by retail deposit dynamics. Net fee, commission and other income increased 8% to £272m
 
 
Total operating expenses increased 5% to £1,217m, driven by higher investments and inflation. Ongoing efficiency savings continue to be reinvested, to drive sustainable improvement to the cost: income ratio
 
 
Credit impairment charges were £178m (Q125: £158m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance, high quality mortgage lending portfolio with a marginal increase in delinquencies in Retail credit cards. A £10m adjustment has been recognised in the Retail credit cards portfolio, reflecting a marginally weaker UK unemployment baseline than assumed in the Q126 scenario. Retail credit cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates were 0.9% (Q125: 0.7%) and 0.3% (Q125: 0.2%) respectively. The Retail credit cards total coverage ratio was 4.6% (December 2025: 4.3%)
 
 
Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025
 
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased £1.3bn to £217.8bn, primarily driven by growth in mortgages
 
 
Customer deposits at amortised cost decreased by £0.7bn to £243.9bn, driven by seasonality. The loan: deposit ratio remained broadly stable at 95% (December 2025: 94%)
 
 
RWAs increased to £87.5bn (December 2025: £85.8bn), primarily due to growth in mortgages lending

UKCB delivered a RoTE of 19.9% (Q125: 17.1%), as increased income from higher average deposit and lending balances, and positive operating jaws were partially offset by higher RWAs to support future growth ambitions.

Profit before tax increased 32% to £273m
 
 
Total income increased 10% to £530m, NII increased 15% to £394m, driven by higher average deposit and lending balances, and structural hedge income benefit. Net fee, commission, trading and other income was broadly stable at £136m
 
 
Total operating expenses decreased 2% to £254m, reflecting a reduction in UK regulatory levies to £15m (Q125: £24m). Operating costs increased 2% to £239m, reflecting higher investment spend to support business growth ambitions, with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds
 
 
Credit impairment charges were £3m (Q125: £19m), reflecting strong underlying credit performance and limited single name charges
 
 
Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

Q126 includes c.£40m of fair value losses on lending. Q125 included c.£105m of fair value gains on leverage finance lending.
 
IB delivered a RoTE of 15.0% (Q125: 16.2%), driven by Global Markets and Investment Banking fees and underwriting income, whilst maintaining cost and capital discipline, driving positive operating jaws and improved RWA productivity.
 
Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125
 
Profit before tax decreased to £1,622m (Q125: £1,710m)
 
 
IB has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 7% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
 
 
Total income increased 4% to £4,028m, including the adverse impact of strengthening average GBP against USD
 
 
-
 
Global Markets income increased  6% to £2,832m, driven by increased income in Equities and Credit
 
 
-
 
FICC income was broadly stable at £1,716m (Q125: £1,699m), as we continued to provide support to clients through a range of environments
 
 
 
-
 
Equities income increased 16% to £1,116m, reflecting growth in Prime Financing, and elevated volatility in Derivatives
 
 
-
 
Investment Banking income was broadly stable at £1,196m (Q125: £1,211m)
 
 
-
 
Banking fees and underwriting income increased 17% to £754m, primarily driven by Advisory and Equity Capital Markets, up 78% and 31% respectively, partially offset by Debt Capital Markets due to a strong prior year comparator
 
 
 
-
 
International Corporate Bank (ICB) income decreased 22% to £442m. Transaction banking income increased 4% to £426m, as higher income from growth in deposit balances was partially offset by margin compression due to change in deposits product mix.  Corporate lending income decreased to £16m due to net losses on fair value lending¹
 
 
Total operating expenses were broadly stable at £2,127m, driven by efficiency savings, offset by higher performance costs
 
 
Credit impairment charges increased to £279m (Q125: £72m), primarily driven by a single name charge of £228m. The tariff related adjustment from Q125 of £35m² was released, due to the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and is reflected through a management adjustment of £52m² to capture increased downside risk.

USCB delivered a RoTE of 18.8% (Q125: 4.5%), reflecting continued operational progress, with increased income from business growth and higher net interest margin, positive operating jaws, and lower credit impairment charges.
 
Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125
 
Profit before tax increased to £236m (Q125: £55m)
 
 
The 7% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
 
 
Total income increased 14% to £983m, driven by organic business growth, the acquisition of the General Motors co-branded cards portfolio (GM portfolio) and increased purchase activity, partially offset by the strengthening of average GBP against USD. NII increased 21% to £823m with a net interest margin (NIM) of 12.76% (Q125: 10.53%), including business growth and repricing initiatives. Net fee, commission and other income decreased 14% to £160m driven by the Q425 partner reward updates, partially offset by purchases and fee growth
 
 
Total operating expenses decreased 7% to £380m, reflecting the strengthening of average GBP against USD, as business growth and inflationary headwinds were broadly offset by lower partner related expenses and ongoing efficiency savings
 
 
Credit impairment charges decreased to £367m (Q125: £399m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance. The tariff related management adjustment from Q125 of £36m was released, due to the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and is reflected through holding back a £29m release arising from the Q126 macroeconomic scenario. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates1 were 3.1% (Q125: 3.0%) and 1.7% (Q125: 1.6%) respectively. The USCB total coverage ratio was 11.5% (December 2025: 11.1%)
 
 
Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025
 
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost were broadly stable at £21.0bn (December 2025: £21.1bn)
 
 
Deposits at amortised cost increased to £25.0bn (December 2025: £24.2bn), with growth in retail savings which is in line with USCB's ambition to grow core deposits
 
 
RWAs were broadly stable at £27.6bn (December 2025: £27.4bn)

Income statement - Q126 compared to Q125
 
Loss before tax was £272m (Q125: £131m)
 
 
Total income decreased to £17m (Q125: £65m), driven by the impact of the disposal of the German consumer finance business in Q125, and mark-to-market losses on legacy investments
 
 
Total operating expenses increased to £312m (Q125: £210m), reflecting a £105m increase in the provision for the FCA motor finance redress scheme
 
 
Balance sheet - 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025
 
 
RWAs were stable at £12.3bn (December 2025: £12.3bn)

Structural hedge
The Group employs a structural hedge programme designed to stabilise NIM on fixed rate non-maturity balance sheet items that are behaviourally stable. As interest rates move, such balances would otherwise drive material income volatility where there is a re-pricing mismatch with floating rate assets.
 
The structural hedge predominantly covers non-interest-bearing current accounts and the fixed portion of instant access savings accounts as well as equity, which are invested into either floating rate customer assets or balances at central banks, creating an exposure to changes in interest rates. The structural hedge is executed via a portfolio of receive-fixed, pay variable interest rate swaps, with an amortising structure so that a small portion matures and is reinvested each month at prevailing market rates. The pay-floating leg of the interest rate swaps nets down a proportion of the receive-floating income from the customer assets, leaving a receive-fixed income stream from the structural hedge.
 
The purpose of the structural hedge is to smooth the Group NII through time. The floating leg of the swap will re-price immediately, whereas the fixed rate yield on the portfolio reprices gradually, as a portion of the swap portfolio matures and the roll is re-invested onto new market rates.
 
When interest rates are higher than our structural hedge yield, the pay-floating rate will typically be higher than our average receive-fixed rate. In this scenario, when viewed in isolation, the structural hedge will be a net drag to Group NII. When floating rates are lower than our structural hedge yield, the hedge in isolation will be a net benefit.
 
Since the receive-fixed swaps are booked for a specific term, an element of NII is 'locked in'. The income stabilising feature of the structural hedge provides greater net interest income certainty through the interest rate cycle.
 
The structural hedge is one component of a larger portfolio of interest rate risk management activities that includes non-structural hedging (e.g. pay-fixed and receive-variable flows for asset hedging), and other offsetting flows. The net risk of these positions is executed externally through interest rate swaps and managed for accounting risk (i.e. income volatility arising from the accounting mismatch of swaps at fair value through profit and loss and underlying hedged items at amortised cost) within the cash flow hedging reserve.
 
Overall the Group has external derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that hedge interest rate risk with a notional £120.9bn (December 2025: £114.6bn) which reflects the structural hedge notional of £241.8bn (December 2025: £236.1bn) netted with non-structural hedging positions of £120.9bn (December 2025: £121.5bn). The majority of these interest rate swaps are cleared with Central Clearing Counterparties and margined daily with an average structural hedge duration of c3.5 years.
 
Gross structural hedge contributions in Q126 were £1,660m (Q125: £1,335m). Gross structural hedge contributions represent the absolute interest income earned on the fixed legs of the swaps in the structural hedge as the floating leg is offset by the base rate funding of the deposits.
 
Credit Risk
 
Loans and advances at amortised cost by geography
 
Total loans and advances at amortised cost in the credit risk section includes loans and advances at amortised cost to banks and loans and advances at amortised cost to customers.
 
The table below presents a product and geographical breakdown of loans and advances at amortised cost and the impairment allowance by stage; and includes purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) balances. POCI balances represent a fixed pool of assets purchased at a deep discount to face value reflecting credit losses incurred from the point of origination to date of acquisition. The table also presents stage allocation of debt securities and off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts.
 
The impairment allowance under IFRS 9 considers both the drawn and the undrawn counterparty exposure. For retail portfolios, the total impairment allowance is allocated to gross loans and advances to the extent allowance does not exceed the drawn exposure and any excess is reported on the liabilities side of the balance sheet as a provision. For wholesale portfolios, impairment allowance on undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

Measurement uncertainty
 
Scenarios used to calculate the Group's modelled ECL charge were refreshed in Q126, with the Baseline scenario reflecting the latest consensus macroeconomic forecasts available at the time of the scenario refresh which predated the most recent geopolitical escalation. However, the assessment of ECL includes continued use of management judgement in overlaying modelled outcomes to capture risks not fully reflected in forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions.
 
The Baseline scenario continues to reflect the rapidly changing trade policies of the US administration and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Global growth slows modestly as rising US tariffs and retaliatory measures disrupt trade flows, dampen business confidence, and weigh on investment, though domestic demand in advanced economies remains resilient. UK and US GDP growth in 2026 is expected to be 1.0% and 2.4%, respectively. Tariff-induced and supply side pressures cause headline inflation to remain stickier in the near term. Labour markets in major economies soften slightly amid increased uncertainty and slower export-orientated activity; however, the weakening is contained and does not rise significantly from current levels. UK and US quarterly unemployment rates peak at 5.2% and 4.5%, respectively.
 
The Downside scenarios have been calibrated to capture an escalation of trade tensions, where tariffs imposed by the US prompt retaliation from its trading partners with adverse implications for consumer prices and investment sentiment, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. The combination of trade impact and consumer uncertainty triggers a sharp recession, not only in the US but also in the UK and Europe driven by a severe decline in exports, business sentiment and with investment and consumption plans being put on hold. The rapid fall in external demand and a retrenchment in business investment push up unemployment rates, where job losses are concentrated in trade-exposed sectors but also spill into services. The Federal Reserve initially holds rates steady, weighing the inflation shock against the deteriorating real economy. However, as the slowdown deepens and the labour market loosens, the Federal Reserve cuts rates swiftly to stimulate aggregate demand.
 
In the Upside scenarios, a rise in labour force participation and higher productivity contribute to accelerated economic growth, without creating new inflationary pressures. Central banks lower interest rates stimulating private consumption and investment growth. Demand for labour increases and unemployment rates stabilise and start falling again. As geopolitical tensions ease, low inflation supports consumer purchasing power and contributes further to healthy GDP growth.
 
The methodology for estimating scenario weights involves simulating a range of future paths for UK and US GDP using historical data with the five scenarios mapped against the distribution of these future paths. The small increase in Upside weights is driven by improvement in UK and US GDP outlook. in the Baseline scenario, bringing the Baseline scenario closer to the Upside scenarios. For further details see page 31.
 
The refreshed scenarios predate the most recent geopolitical escalation, and so may not reflect the potential associated near-term impacts including supply chain disruption, higher energy prices and rising inflation. In response, management adjustments of £101m have been introduced, partially offset by the release of £81m tariff-related adjustments raised in Q125, resulting in a net additional charge of £20m.
 
Within Barclays UK, a £10m adjustment has been recognised in the Retail credit cards portfolio, reflecting a marginally weaker UK unemployment baseline than that assumed in the Q126 macroeconomic scenario.
For USCB, the tariff-related adjustment from Q125 of £31m1 was released due to the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses. However, uncertainty persists and has been reflected through holding back a £25m1 release arising from the Q126 macroeconomic scenario.
In IB, the tariff-related adjustment from Q125 of £50m (£35m net of SRT2 credit protection) was released due to the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and has been reflected through a management adjustment of £66m (£52m net of SRT2 credit protection) to capture increased downside risk.
 
The following tables show the key macroeconomic variables used in the five scenarios (5-year annual paths) and the weights applied to each scenario.

Regulatory minimum requirements
 
Capital
 
As at 31 March 2026, the Group's Overall Capital Requirement for CET1, excluding any applicable PRA buffer, was 12.2% and comprised a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.7% Pillar 2A requirement and a 1.0% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).
 
The Group's CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group has exposures. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material.
 
The Group's Pillar 2A requirement is 4.8% with at least 56.25% to be met with CET1 capital, equating to 2.7% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement, based on a point in time assessment, has been set as a proportion of RWAs and is subject to at least annual review.
 
The Group's CET1 target ratio of 13-14% takes into account minimum capital requirements and applicable buffers. The Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements and applicable buffers.
 
Leverage
 
As at 31 March 2026, the Group was subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.1%. This comprised the 3.25% minimum requirement, a G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.53% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB) of 0.3%. The Group is also required to disclose an average UK leverage ratio which is based on capital on the last day of each month in the quarter and an exposure measure for each day in the quarter.
 
MREL
 
As at 31 March 2026, the Group was required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.8% Pillar 2A equating to 25.5% of RWAs; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the buffers, meaning that the buffers, including any applicable confidential institution-specific Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.
 
Significant regulatory updates in the period
 
In January 2026, the PRA confirmed the final implementation timetable for the UK Basel 3.1 framework. The PRA's final rules reaffirm that Basel 3.1 will be implemented from 1 January 2027.
 
The PRA also confirmed its approach to the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), under which implementation of the Internal Models Approach (IMA) will be deferred to 1 January 2028, while all other FRTB components will take effect from 1 January 2027.

Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of T1 capital, the leverage ratio buffers and 75% of the minimum requirement must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.53% G-SII ALRB was £7.0bn and against the 0.3% CCLB was £4.0bn.
 
The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.8% (December 2025: 5.1%) as the leverage exposure increased by £74.0bn to £1,321.3bn (December 2025: £1,247.3bn). The increase in leverage exposure was primarily driven by higher activity in Global Markets.

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.
 
 
Non-IFRS performance measures glossary
