Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Barclays PLC reported strong first-half 2026 results, with Group income of £16.5bn up 11% year-on-year and profit before tax of £6.1bn up 17%. Attributable profit rose 19% to £4.2bn, delivering a Group return on tangible equity of 14.8% and basic EPS of 30.7p. The cost:income ratio improved to 55% as operating costs grew more slowly than income.

Credit impairment charges increased to £1.4bn with a loan loss rate of 62bps, including a £228m single-name charge in the Investment Bank and a higher UK motor finance redress provision, now £430m. Capital and liquidity remained robust, with a CET1 ratio of 14.3%, TNAV per share of 423p, and a liquidity coverage ratio of 157.7%. Barclays announced £2.3bn of H1 capital returns, including a planned £1.0bn Q2 buyback and a 5.9p dividend, and modestly raised its 2026 Group income target to c.£31.5bn.

Positive

  • Attributable profit up 19% to £4.2bn in H126, with RoTE rising to 14.8% and EPS up 24% to 30.7p, alongside a lower Group cost:income ratio of 55%.

  • Investment Bank and US Consumer Bank performance strengthened, with IB income up 11% and RoTE 15.5%, and US Consumer Bank income up 26% and reported RoTE 24.2%, supported by the £225m AA portfolio gain.

return on tangible equity financial
"Barclays delivered a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 14.8% in H126"
Return on tangible equity measures how much profit a company generates for common shareholders using the ‘‘hard’’ capital on its balance sheet—equity after removing intangible items like goodwill and patents. Investors use it to judge the firm’s core profitability and capital efficiency, because it shows profit per dollar of tangible, real assets; think of it as earnings earned on cash, buildings and machinery rather than on acquired goodwill.
Common equity tier 1 ratio regulatory
"We have a robust common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14.3%"
The common equity tier 1 ratio is a measure of a bank's financial strength, showing how much high-quality core capital it has compared to its total risk-weighted assets. Think of it as a safety buffer or cushion that helps ensure the bank can withstand economic shocks. For investors, a higher ratio indicates a stronger, more resilient bank, making it a key indicator of its financial health.
loan loss rate financial
"Credit impairment charges were £1.4bn with an LLR of 62bps"
liquidity coverage ratio regulatory
"The average LCR was 157.7%, equivalent to a surplus of £117.2bn"
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.
structural hedge financial
"The Group employs a structural hedge programme designed to stabilise NIM"
minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) regulatory
"The Group issued £9.9bn equivalent of MREL instruments from Barclays PLC"

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 85 to 93 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.

Group Finance Director's Review
 
H126 Group performance
  Other matters
 
Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £6,066m (H125: £5,203m), RoTE of 14.8% (H125: 13.2%) and EPS of 30.7p (H125: 24.7p)
 
The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 4% 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 11% to £16,501m, due to higher income in Global Markets and Investment Banking fees, higher structural hedge income and the c.£225m gain from the sale of the AA portfolio
 
 
Group total operating expenses increased to £9,065m (H125: £8,590m)
 
 
-
 
Group operating costs increased 6% to £8,873m, reflecting business growth (including higher performance costs), inflation, and further investment spend (including the Best Egg acquisition), partially offset by c.£350m of cost efficiency savings and FX movements
 
-
 
Litigation and conduct charges of £108m primarily reflected a £105m increase in the provision for the FCA motor finance redress scheme in Q126
 
Credit impairment charges increased to £1,394m (H125: £1,112m), primarily driven by a single name charge of £228m in IB in Q126. Total coverage ratio remained stable at 1.2% (December 2025: 1.2%)
 
 
The effective tax rate (ETR) was 22.6% (H125: 22.5%)
 
 
Attributable profit was £4,191m (H125: £3,523m)
 
 
Total assets increased to £1,730.4bn (December 2025: £1,544.2bn) driven by higher trading activity in IB, growth in the liquidity pool and higher lending across the Group
 
 
TNAV per share increased to 423p (December 2025: 409p) as EPS of 30.7p was partially offset by a 6p negative movement in the cash flow hedging reserve, a 6p reduction from FY25 dividends paid in Q126, and a 6p reduction from share awards vesting in Q126
 
 
Group capital and leverage
 
 
The CET1 ratio remained stable at 14.3% (December 2025: 14.3%). Taking into account the impact of the £1.0bn share buyback announced today, the CET1 ratio as of 30 June 2026 would be reduced to 14.0% (at the top end of the 13-14% target range)
 
Q226 USCB sale of the AA portfolio and acquisition of Best Egg resulted in a marginal increase in the CET1 ratio with a net release of £3.2bn RWAs partially offset by a £0.2bn decrease in CET1 capital, reflecting the c.£225m gain on sale of the AA portfolio offset by £0.5bn of goodwill and intangibles from the Best Egg acquisition. Excluding the impacts of these changes, other movements were:
 
-
 
108bps increase from attributable profit
 
 
-
 
68bps decrease driven by shareholder distributions including the now completed £1.5bn total share buybacks announced with FY25 and Q126 results, and the accrual for the total 2026 dividend
 
 
-
 
40bps decrease due to a £9.8bn 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 £0.2bn increase in CET1 capital due to an increase in the currency translation reserve was offset by a £1.3bn increase in RWAs as a result of foreign exchange movements
 
 
-
 
108bps increase from attributable profit
 
The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2025: 5.1%) as leverage exposure increased by £98.3bn to £1,345.6bn (December 2025: £1,247.3bn). The increase in leverage exposure was primarily driven by higher trading activity in IB
 
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 £346.7bn, an increase of £8.9bn from December 2025. The increase in the liquidity pool was primarily driven by deposit growth across businesses and increased term wholesale funding.
 
 
The average1 LCR was 157.7% (December 2025: 170.0%), equivalent to a surplus of £117.2bn (December 2025: £131.2bn)
 
 
Total deposits increased to £594.4bn (December 2025: £585.6bn), primarily driven by deposit growth in the International Corporate Bank (ICB)
 
 
The average2 Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 135.8% (December 2025: 135.2%), which represents a £171.7bn surplus (December 2025: £166.3bn) above the 100% regulatory requirement
 
 
 
Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £236.0bn (December 2025: £220.1bn)
 
 
The Group issued £9.9bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company), completing the targeted 2026 MREL issuance plan within H126. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 36.7%, which is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 30.5% excluding any applicable confidential institution specific Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer. The Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements and applicable buffers

Other matters
 
 
Motor finance commission arrangements: In March 2026, the FCA published its final rules for an industry-wide redress scheme for eligible motor finance customers where a commission was payable by the lender to the broker. Barclays increased its provision in Q126 by £105m to reflect the expected financial impact of the redress scheme. Barclays holds a Motor Finance provision of £430m as at 30 June 2026. Barclays 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 of the rules which require financial redress even where customers suffered no demonstrable financial harm. On 2 July 2026, the Upper Tribunal ordered a suspension of parts of the redress scheme following four legal challenges to the FCA's final rules. The legal challenges are expected to be heard by the Upper Tribunal in Q426 or Q127. Such challenges will delay and may otherwise affect the implementation of the redress scheme. The legal and regulatory outcomes and the nature, extent and timing of any remediation action, therefore remain uncertain
 
 
    USCB 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 £3.6bn of RWAs and generating a gain on sale of c.£225m
 
-
Best Egg acquisition: On 1 May 2026, Barclays completed the acquisition of Best Egg for c.£0.6bn subject to customary post-completion purchase price adjustments. Best Egg is a leading US direct-to-consumer personal loan origination platform focused on prime borrowers. Barclays has acquired c.£0.3bn of financial assets and c.£0.2bn of financial liabilities
 
-
The effect of both transactions is a marginal increase to the Group's CET1 ratio in Q226, with a net release of RWAs of £3.2bn and the c.£225m gain on sale from the AA portfolio exit, partially offset by a c.£0.5bn increase in goodwill and intangibles from the Best Egg acquisition
 
 
GoHenry acquisition: On 12 June 2026, Barclays announced that Barclays Bank UK PLC had entered into an agreement to acquire GoHenry, a money management platform for children and young people in the UK. Completion of the transaction is expected to occur in Q426, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions. The transaction is expected to marginally reduce the Group's CET1 ratio
 
 
One Churchill Place: On 30 June 2026 Barclays announced it had acquired a 999-year leasehold interest in its global headquarters at One Churchill Place, London. The transaction secures Barclays' control in its global headquarters beyond the current lease term, due to expire in 2039, while providing greater certainty over long-term occupancy costs. The transaction values the acquired leasehold interest at £750m and is broadly neutral to the Group's CET1 ratio and earnings

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 20.1% (H125: 18.6%) supported by robust income, disciplined cost management and underpinned by strong asset quality.
 
Income statement - H126 compared to H125
 
Profit before tax increased 10% to £1,767m
 
 
Total income increased 8% to £4,517m. NII increased 8% to £3,986m, as higher structural hedge income was partially offset by retail deposit dynamics and mortgage margin compression. Net fee, commission and other income increased 3% to £531m
 
 
Total operating expenses increased 2% to £2,412m, 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 £338m (H125: £237m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance. Total charges are higher than those in H125, which benefitted from a recalibration adjustment in the Retail credit cards portfolio to reflect resilient customer behaviour. Retail credit cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates were 0.9% (H125: 0.7%) and 0.3% (H125: 0.2%) respectively. The Retail credit cards total coverage ratio increased to 4.5% (December 2025: 4.3%)
 
 
Balance sheet - 30 June 2026 compared to 31 December 2025
 
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased £4.3bn to £220.8bn, primarily driven by growth in mortgages, partially offset by the impact of securitisations
 
 
Customer deposits at amortised cost increased by £1.0bn to £245.6bn, driven by an increase in Retail Banking deposits. The loan: deposit ratio remained broadly stable at 97% (December 2025: 94%)
 
 
RWAs increased to £89.0bn (December 2025: £85.8bn), primarily due to growth in mortgages, partially offset by the securitisation of credit risk assets

Income statement - H126 compared to H125
 
Profit before tax increased to £3,337m (H125: £3,010m)

Total income increased 11% to £7,986m, including the adverse impact of strengthening average GBP against USD
 
 
-
 
Global Markets income increased 12% to £5,564m, driven by increased income in Equities and Credit

-

Transaction banking income increased 4% to £868m, 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 £53m, reflecting the non-repeat of fair value gains on leverage finance lending (c.£105m) in Q125, while underlying business performance was broadly stable
 
 
Total operating expenses increased to £4,326m (H125: £4,031m), driven by higher performance costs partially offset by efficiency savings and the impact of strengthening average GBP against USD
 
 
Credit impairment charges increased to £323m (H125: £139m), primarily driven by a single name charge of £228m in Q126
 
 
Balance sheet - 30 June 2026 compared to 31 December 2025
 
Loans and advances at amortised cost increased to £136.3bn (December 2025: £130.3bn), driven by increased lending in Investment Banking

Financial assets at fair value through the income statement increased to £209.9bn (December 2025: £183.6bn), driven by increased secured lending in Global Markets
 
 
Derivative financial instrument assets increased to £302.6bn (December 2025: £251.5bn) and liabilities increased to £291.6bn (December 2025: £240.6bn), reflecting an increase in client activity and mark-to-market in Equity and FX Derivatives
 
 
Deposits at amortised cost increased to £162.3bn (December 2025: £156.1bn), driven by growth in deposits primarily in the ICB
 
 
RWAs increased to £204.1bn (December 2025: £196.7bn), mainly driven by higher activity in Global Markets as we continued to support clients through a range of environments

Reflects FICO distribution based on ending net receivables for customer credit cards.
 
 
USCB delivered a RoTE of 24.2% (H125: 7.3%), reflecting a c.£225m Q226 gain on sale from the AA portfolio exit, continued operational progress, with increased income from business growth, higher net interest margin and positive operating jaws. Excluding the gain on sale of c.£225m (resulting in an adjusted attributable profit of £263m), the H126 RoTE was 14.9%.
 
Income statement - H126 compared to H125
 
Profit before tax increased to £582m (H125: £170m)
 
 
The 4% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
 
 
Total income increased 26% to £2,119m, including the adverse impact of the strengthening of average GBP against USD. NII increased 18% to £1,555m including business growth, repricing initiatives and change in portfolio mix. Net fee, commission and other income increased 53% to £564m driven by gain on sale from the AA portfolio and the Best Egg acquisition
 
 
Total operating expenses increased 2% to £824m, driven by the acquisitions of Best Egg and the General Motors co-branded cards portfolio (GM Portfolio), business growth, and inflationary headwinds, partially offset by lower partner related expenses, the strengthening of average GBP against USD, and ongoing efficiency savings
 
 
Credit impairment charges were £713m (H125: £711m), reflecting broadly stable underlying credit performance and the £26m day 1 impact from the Best Egg acquisition. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates were 2.9% (H125: 2.8%) and 1.6% (H125: 1.6%) respectively. The USCB total coverage ratio was 11.1% (December 2025: 11.1%)
 
 
Balance sheet - 30 June 2026 compared to 31 December 2025
 
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost were broadly stable at £21.7bn (December 2025: £21.1bn)
 
 
Deposits at amortised cost increased to £24.7bn (December 2025: £24.2bn), with growth in retail savings which is in line with USCB's strategy to grow core deposits
 
 
RWAs decreased to £24.3bn (December 2025: £27.4bn), driven by a net £3.2bn reduction relating to the AA portfolio sale and Best Egg acquisition

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 primarily 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 of £121.0bn (December 2025: £114.6bn) which reflects the structural hedge derivatives notional of £239.8bn (December 2025: £236.1bn) netted with non-structural hedging positions of £118.8bn (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 H126 were £3,456m (H125: £2,778m). Gross structural hedge contributions primarily 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 across the Group, including Risk and Compliance, in the management of risk 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 ten principal risks: climate risk, credit risk, market risk, treasury and capital risk, operational risk, model risk, compliance risk, financial crime 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 2025, 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 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.

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 gross 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 tables below do not include other financial assets subject to impairment such as debt securities at amortised cost, reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending, cash collateral and settlement balances, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and other assets.
 
The movements in gross exposures and expected credit losses (ECL) are measured over a six-month period.

Economic uncertainty adjustments
 
Economic uncertainty adjustments result from the identification of customers and clients who may be more vulnerable to economic instability and are applied at a portfolio level.
 
Economic uncertainty adjustments have decreased from last year, informed by the retirement of tariff-related adjustments of £81m driven by the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and is reflected through an adjustment of £66m to capture increased downside risk, as any potential impact on corporate earnings is expected to lag.
 
Total economic uncertainty adjustments as at 30 June 2026 are £76m (December 2025: £115m) and include:
 
 
Retail credit cards (ROW) £nil (December 2025: £31m): The previously held tariff-related adjustment was retired following the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses
 
 
Corporate loans (UK) £17m (December 2025: £39m): This adjustment reflects potential cross-default risk on Barclays' lending in respect of clients who have taken out Bounce Back Loans and an adjustment to capture increased downside risk, amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. The reduction reflects the partial release of the cross-default risk adjustment, supported by resilient borrower behaviour
 
 
Corporate loans (ROW) £57m (December 2025: £44m): The previously held tariff-related adjustment was retired due to the lack of tariff-driven credit deterioration and losses. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists and is reflected through an adjustment to capture increased downside risk, as any potential impact on corporate earnings is expected to lag
 
 
Other adjustments
Other adjustments are operational and remain in place until incorporated into the underlying models. These adjustments result from data limitations and model performance related issues identified through model monitoring and other established governance processes.
 
Total other adjustments as at 30 June 2026 are £213m (December 2025: £254m) and include:
 
Retail mortgages (UK) £4m (December 2025: £15m): The movement reflects the retirement of operational adjustments following updates to the Private Banking impairment models
 
 
Retail credit cards (ROW) £55m (December 2025: £87m): This adjustment reflects provisioning for the Best Egg acquisition during the period and the annual update to the high-risk account management (HRAM) framework within the USCB portfolio. The previously held adjustment relating to the acquisition of the GM consumer cards portfolio was retired following model implementation
 
 
Retail other (UK) £97m (December 2025: £85m) and Corporate loans (UK) £49m (December 2025: £53m): These include adjustments for the definition of default (DOD) criteria under the Capital Requirements Regulation and model monitoring outcomes and have remained broadly stable compared to year-end
 
 
Corporate loans (ROW) £6m (December 2025: £13m): This adjustment reflects operational adjustments within the GM business cards portfolio
 
 
Measurement uncertainty
 
Scenarios used to calculate the Group's modelled ECL charge were refreshed in Q226, with the Baseline scenario reflecting the latest consensus macroeconomic forecasts available at the time of the scenario refresh. The Baseline scenario continues to reflect the volatile trade policies of the US administration and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty but with a more pronounced inflationary backdrop. Global growth slows modestly as higher US tariffs, retaliatory measures and persistent uncertainty disrupt trade flows, dampen business confidence, and weigh on investment, though domestic demand in advanced economies remains relatively resilient. UK and US GDP growth in 2026 is expected to be 0.4% and 1.7%, respectively. Headline inflation remains elevated and sticky, particularly through imported goods and energy-related components. The softening in labour markets is gradual and insufficient to quickly alleviate underlying price pressures. UK and US quarterly unemployment rates peak at 5.4% and 4.5%, respectively.
 
The Downside scenarios have been calibrated to capture a severe escalation in geopolitical tensions, centred on a prolonged Middle East conflict, alongside intensifying global trade frictions. Early in the scenario, conflict escalates sharply with disruptions at critical maritime chokepoints, triggering severe shipping disruptions, surging insurance costs and sharp increases in oil and gas prices amid infrastructure damage. As the shock becomes protracted, firms delay investment, reassess supply chains and hoard inputs, while business and consumer confidence fall sharply. The deterioration in demand and investment drives a sharp increase in unemployment, initially concentrated in trade and energy exposed sectors but increasingly spilling over into services. Inflation dynamics diverge sharply from Baseline, generating a stagflationary impulse. Energy prices rise sharply and remain structurally elevated, with persistent volatility and recurring supply disruptions. Monetary policy faces a difficult trade-off between persistent inflation and weakening growth. Central banks initially hike to ensure inflation expectations remain well anchored, but as the downturn deepens and demand forces weaken price pressures, they shift towards easing. The scenarios also incorporate climate-related risks through both physical and transition channels, including more frequent severe weather disruptions and a shift in sentiment around energy security. These effects amplify volatility, increase costs and further weigh on growth over the medium term.
 
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 decreases. 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 decrease in Upside weights is driven by deterioration in UK GDP outlook in the Baseline scenario, moving the Baseline scenario further from the Upside scenarios. For further details see page 38.
 
Management adjustments recognised in Q126 in Barclays UK (£10m) and US Consumer Bank (£25m1) to reflect near-term impacts of the most recent geopolitical escalation, were consumed, as the impacts are now captured through the Q226 scenario refresh. However, the Group has retained the £66m2 management adjustment introduced in Q126 within the Investment Bank, reflecting increased downside risk amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty, as any potential impact on corporate earnings is expected to lag. For further details see page 35.
The following tables show the key macroeconomic variables used in the five scenarios (5-year annual paths) and the weights applied to each scenario.
 
1
Excludes management adjustment of £4m for held for sale portfolio.
2
Excludes management adjustment of £2m related to other financial assets subject to impairment.

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.
2
Model exposures and ECL reported within Retail credit cards and Corporate loans exclude the AA portfolio within USCB, the sale of which was completed in April 2026.
3
Model exposures allocated to Stage 3 do not change in any of the scenarios as the transition criteria relies only on observable evidence of default as at 30 June 2026 and not on the macroeconomic scenario.
4
Material corporate loan defaults are individually assessed across different recovery strategies. As a result, ECL of £882m is reported as an individually assessed impairment in the reconciliation table.
5
ECL from benchmarked exposures and others includes ECL on Tesco Bank of £430m calculated using a benchmarked approach based on UK cards and UK retail loans. The sensitivity of these exposures would materially reflect the sensitivity of the benchmarked model.
 
The use of five scenarios with associated weightings results in a total weighted ECL uplift from the Baseline ECL of 2.1%.
 
Retail mortgages: Total weighted ECL of £81m represents a 28.6% increase over the Baseline ECL (£63m). Total ECL increases to £294m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by a fall in UK HPI.
 
Retail credit cards: Total weighted ECL of £3,290m represents a 0.9% increase over the Baseline ECL (£3,261m). Total ECL increases to £3,821m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by an increase in UK and US unemployment rate.
 
Retail other: Total weighted ECL of £189m represents a 0.5% increase over the Baseline ECL (£188m). Total ECL increases to £225m under the Downside 2 scenario, largely driven by an increase in UK unemployment rate.
 
Corporate loans: Total weighted ECL of £768m represents a 5.5% increase over the Baseline ECL (£728m). Total ECL increases to £1,326m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by a decrease in UK and US GDP.

Includes AA portfolio in USCB, classified as held for sale (see table below).
 
UK cards: Gross exposure increased from £17.2bn to £17.5bn following a growth in spend and new promotional balance lending. 30 and 90 day arrears rates remained broadly stable at 0.9% (2025: 0.8%) and 0.3% (2025: 0.2%) respectively. Gross and net write-off rates increased to 1.6% (2025: 1.0%) and 1.4% (2025: 0.8%) respectively, reflecting sufficient maturing of the Tesco default book, post-acquisition, for accounts to qualify for write-off.
 
UK personal loans: Gross exposure increased from £8.5bn to £8.9bn due to growth in new lending. 30 and 90 day arrears rates remained stable at 1.2% (2025: 1.1%) and 0.5% (2025: 0.5%) respectively. Gross and net write off rates increased to 1.7% (2025: 0.7%) and 1.6% (2025: 0.6%) respectively, reflecting sufficient maturing of the Tesco default book, post-acquisition, for accounts to qualify for write-off.
 
Barclays Partner Finance: 30 and 90 day arrears rates increased to 1.0% (2025: 0.7%) and 0.6% (2025: 0.3%) respectively as total exposure reduced to £0.8bn (2025: £1.2bn) due to a strategic decision to reduce the number of active partner businesses. Both annualised gross and net write off rates increased to 1.5% (2025: 1.2%) following the reduction in gross exposure.
 
US cards: 30 day arrears rates decreased slightly to 2.9% (2025: 3.0%) following the expected impact of seasonality. Gross and net write off rates increased to 4.0% (2025: 3.4%) and 3.8% (2025: 3.2%) respectively reflecting the impact of the exit of the AA portfolio in the period.

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 remained relatively stable at £20m (H225: £18m) driven by a small increase in credit risk, partially offset by a slight decrease in interest rate risk.
 
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.
 
Barclays implemented a new methodology for calculating net stress outflows related to secured financing transactions in the LCR. This change materialised from June 2025, with the Group headline ratio contracting over time from previously elevated levels whilst remaining broadly within ranges reported over recent years. The revised methodology models a more asymmetric unwind of client activity, resulting in a higher net outflow calculation. Barclays has always maintained, and intends to continue to maintain, a significant liquidity buffer which allows for this impact to be readily absorbed within the Group surplus.
 
As at 30 June 2026 the average LCR was 157.7% (December 2025: 170.0%). 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 2026 was 135.8%, which was a surplus above the regulatory requirement of £171.7bn.

As part of the liquidity risk appetite, Barclays establishes minimum LCR, NSFR and internal liquidity stress test limits. 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.

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.

Includes cash held at central banks and surplus cash at central banks related to payment schemes. Over 99.7% (December 2025: over 99.5%) was placed with the Bank of England, US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and Swiss National Bank.

Of which over 85% (December 2025: over 85%) comprised UK, US, French, German, Japanese, Swiss and Dutch securities.
 
The Group liquidity pool was £346.7bn as at June 2026, an increase of £8.9bn versus December 2025 (December 2025: £337.8bn).
 
In H1 2026, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from £321bn to £347bn (2025: £326bn to £352bn), and the month-end average balance was £332bn (2025: £337bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and represents readily accessible funds to meet potential cash outflows during stress periods.
 
As at 30 June 2026, 70% (December 2025: 68%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC, 15% (December 2025: 17%) in Barclays Bank UK PLC and 8% (December 2025: 9%) 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 second-line liquidity, credit 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 sound 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 2026 are summarised below:

Composition of wholesale funding
 
Wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was £236.0bn (December 2025: £220.1bn). In H126, the Group issued £9.9bn1 of MREL eligible instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in a range of tenors and currencies, completing the targeted 2026 MREL issuance plan within H126.
 
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 £88.7bn (December 2025: £83.9bn) matures in less than one year, representing 38% (December 2025: 38%) of total wholesale funding outstanding. This includes £32.6bn (December 2025: £28.4bn) related to term funding2.

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.

In H126, Fitch upgraded the long and short term ratings for Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC, whilst affirming the ratings for Barclays PLC. S&P also affirmed all ratings for all entities.
 
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.
 
A one and two-notch long-term downgrade, with associated short-term downgrades, across all credit ratings agencies would result in outflows of £1bn and £3bn respectively on derivative contracts and other off balance sheet products to satisfy the contractual collateral requirements. This is 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
As at 30 June 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 30 June 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 30 June 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 PRA buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

Total RWAs increased £8.0bn to £364.8bn (Dec 2025: £356.8bn) primarily driven by:
 
Credit risk RWAs increased £1.8bn:
A £3.8bn increase in book size primarily reflecting lending growth in UK businesses; partially offset by
A £3.2bn decrease in acquisitions and disposals reflecting the net impact of the AA portfolio exit and the Best Egg acquisition
 
Counterparty credit risk RWAs increased £6.5bn primarily driven by higher activity in Global Markets

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 £7.1bn and against the 0.3% CCLB was £4.0bn.
 
The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2025: 5.1%) as the leverage exposure increased by £98.3bn to £1,345.6bn (December 2025: £1,247.3bn). The increase in leverage exposure was primarily driven by higher trading activity in IB.

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 2026 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 2026;
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 2026 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 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 2026 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 2025. The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 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 applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those set out in the Barclays PLC Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025, except for the adoption of the amendments to IFRS 9, effective from 1 January 2026. The amendments include:
 
Additional guidance clarifying when certain financial assets comply with solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) requirements, including instruments with contingent features (e.g. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)-linked financing), as well as contractually-linked instruments and non-recourse financing.
Clarifications to the derecognition requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities and the introduction of an accounting policy choice for liabilities settled via an electronic payment system. If the policy choice is elected, a liability may be derecognised before it is legally extinguished, provided that the entity has initiated a payment instruction and the specified IFRS 9 criteria are met.
 
In the limited circumstances where there is a delay between cash being transferred by Barclays via an electronic payment system and the legal extinguishment of the related liability, Barclays has adopted the policy choice referred to above. There was no material impact from Barclays' adoption of these IFRS 9 amendments.
 
i. 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.
 
ii.   Other disclosures
The Credit risk disclosures on pages 26 to 47 form part of these interim financial statements.

It is Barclays' policy to declare and pay dividends on a semi-annual basis. The 2025 full year dividend of 5.6p per ordinary share was paid on 31 March 2026 to the shareholders on the Share Register on 20 February 2026. A half year dividend for 2026 of 5.9p (H125: 3.0p) per ordinary share will be paid on 15 September 2026.
 
For qualifying American Depositary Receipt (ADR) holders, the half year dividend of 5.9p per ordinary share becomes 23.6p per American Depositary Share (ADS) (representing four shares). The depositary bank will post the half year dividend on 15 September 2026 to ADR holders on the record at close of business on 7 August 2026.
 
The Directors have confirmed their intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £1,000m after the balance sheet date. The share buyback is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2026. The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 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 £37bn including £5bn of cash collateral netted (December 2025: £43bn including £6bn cash collateral netted) and £38bn for liabilities including £5bn of cash collateral netted (December 2025: £43bn including £5bn of cash collateral netted). Derivative asset exposures would be £273bn (December 2025: £226bn) 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 £36bn (December 2025: £31bn). Similarly, derivative liabilities would be £265bn (December 2025: £218bn) lower reflecting counterparty netting and cash collateral placed of £28bn (December 2025: £23bn). In addition, non-cash collateral of £14bn (December 2025: £13bn) was held in respect of derivative assets £5bn (December 2025: £5bn) 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 note should be read in conjunction with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2025 which provides more detail regarding 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 in the period. During the period, the Group further enhanced its fair value levelling framework. These enhancements enabled a more granular assessment of input observability and a broader application of significance assessments in determining the fair value hierarchy classification of financial instruments.

Assets and liabilities transferred between Level 1 and Level 2
 
During the six-month period ended 30 June 2026, there were no assets or liabilities transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 (year ended 31 December 2025: £42.7bn assets and £(9.9)bn liabilities transferred from Level 2 to Level 1).
 
Level 3 movement analysis
 
The following table summarises the movements in the Level 3 balances during the six-month period. Transfers have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the period.
 
Assets and liabilities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 primarily reflect the application of the enhanced fair value levelling framework, including refinements to observability assessments and significance testing methodologies, together with the reassessment of fair value hierarchy classifications at the reporting date. Transfers include £4.7bn assets and £(2.3)bn liabilities transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 reflecting these enhancements.

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. These methodologies primarily leverage the prudent valuation framework when determining sensitivities.
 
Sensitivities are based on either range or spread data from 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.
 
The valuation and sensitivity methodologies applied in the current period are consistent with those described in Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments, in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2025.

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 £1,221m (December 2025: £1,541m) or to decrease fair values by up to £1,309m (December 2025: £1,405m) with substantially all of the potential effect impacting profit and loss rather than reserves.
 
Significant unobservable inputs
 
The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets and liabilities recognised at fair value are broadly consistent with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2025.

Unrecognised gains as a result of the use of valuation models using unobservable inputs
 
The amount that is yet to be recognised in income, relating 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, is £227m (December 2025: £264m) for financial instruments measured at fair value. These unrecognised gains decreased by amortisation and releases of £73m (December 2025: £64m) partly offset by additions and FX revaluation of £36m (December 2025: £55m). For financial instruments carried at amortised cost, the amount that is yet to be recognised in income is £163m (December 2025: £164m). There are amortisation and releases of £6m (December 2025: £9m) offset by additions of £5m (December 2025: £nil).
 
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 fees 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 £1,948m (December 2025: £4,156m).
 
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 not held at fair value are consistent with those described within Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2025.
 
The following table summarises the fair value of financial assets and liabilities not held at fair value on the Group's balance sheet:

10. Goodwill and intangible assets
 
As part of the preparation of the Barclays Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, an impairment review of its goodwill and intangible asset balances was performed. The outcome of this review is disclosed on pages 452-453 of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2025. 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 2026 did not identify any factors indicating impairment.
 
On 1 May 2026, Barclays completed the acquisition of Best Egg, resulting in a £0.1bn increase in intangible assets and the recognition of £0.4bn of goodwill. As at 30 June 2026, management has not identified any indicators of impairment in respect of the goodwill arising on acquisition.

13. Retirement benefits
 
As at 30 June 2026, the Group's IAS 19 net retirement benefit assets were £3.1bn (December 2025: £3.0bn). The two Sections of the UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which are the Group's main defined benefit pension schemes, had IAS 19 net retirement benefit assets of £3.2bn (December 2025: £3.3bn).
 
Following sectionalisation of the UKRF at 1 July 2025, the first triennial valuations of the Barclays Bank and Barclays UK sections have been completed during 2026. Results for each are shown below.
 
Barclays Bank Section of the UKRF
The triennial valuation of the Barclays Bank Section showed a funding surplus of £1.9bn at 30 September 2025.
As part of the valuation the Trustee and Barclays Bank PLC agreed an annual adequacy test on a more prudent basis than IAS 19 and funding. Should the Barclays Bank Section be sufficiently funded on this basis, regular employer contributions to fund future pension accrual will not be required in the following calendar year. The test was passed at September 2025, so no regular employer contributions are required for 2026.
 
Barclays UK Section of the UKRF
The triennial valuation of the Barclays UK Section showed a funding surplus of £83m at 30 September 2025. Barclays Bank UK PLC will continue to meet the costs of ongoing accrual and administration expenses for this Section.
The next triennial actuarial valuations for both Sections of the UKRF are due to be completed in 2029 with an effective date of 30 September 2028.

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 judgements 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
 
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.
 
US civil actions related to LIBOR
 
Multiple civil actions have been filed in the US against the Group and other banks alleging manipulation of USD LIBOR, Sterling LIBOR and the LIBOR benchmark that was administered by the Intercontinental Exchange Inc. and certain of its affiliates (ICE LIBOR).
 
With respect to USD LIBOR, one action alleging that Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) and other financial institutions individually and collectively violated provisions of the US Sherman Antitrust Act (Sherman Act), the US Commodity Exchange Act, 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 remains, seeking unspecified damages. In 2025, the US federal district court in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the remaining USD LIBOR litigations, including the action against the Group. The plaintiffs are appealing the decision.
 
Non-US benchmarks civil actions
Proceedings are ongoing in Spain and Italy relating to alleged manipulation of LIBOR and EURIBOR.
 
Foreign exchange 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, the Netherlands, Israel and Brazil. In Israel, a settlement in principle has been agreed subject to court approval. The settlement is not material to the Group's operating results, cash flows or financial position.
 
The above-mentioned proceedings include a class action 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 the claim in 2022. In 2025, the UK Supreme Court issued a judgment in the defendants' favour, establishing that this claim cannot be brought as an opt-out class action. The case has been remitted to the CAT for a hearing in July 2026 to determine the defendants' application to dismiss the claim and the claimant's application for further time to bring an opt-in claim.
 
Metals-related civil actions
A US civil complaint alleging manipulation of the price of silver in violation of the US Commodity Exchange Act, the Sherman 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. The complaint, which is filed in the SDNY, was dismissed against the 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. The Barclays entities have reached a settlement which will require court approval. The settlement is not material to the Group's operating results, cash flows or financial position.
 
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 made by Barclays Bank PLC and/or a subsidiary acquired in 2007. Barclays' motion to dismiss the action was denied in 2023. The parties appealed the decision and in January 2025, the appellate court reversed the lower court's decision and dismissed the action. The plaintiff's request for review by the New York State Court of Appeals was denied in May 2026, concluding the matter.
 
Government and agency securities civil actions
 
Treasury auction securities civil actions
A consolidated purported class action filed in US federal court against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and other financial institutions under the Sherman Act and state common law was dismissed, which was affirmed on appeal. The plaintiffs did not seek US Supreme Court review, concluding the matter.
 
Certain plaintiffs have filed a 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 Sherman Act, the US Commodity Exchange Act and state common law. This action remains stayed.
 
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. A settlement in principle has been agreed in that action, subject to court approval. This settlement is not material to the Group's operating results, cash flows or financial position. In addition, three purported 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.
 
Credit Default Swap civil action
 
A purported 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 US Commodity Exchange Act, and unjust enrichment under state law. The defendants' motion to dismiss was denied in 2023. In 2024, the SDNY ruled that settlement in an earlier CDS antitrust litigation bars these plaintiffs from asserting claims based on conduct occurring before 30 June 2014. The plaintiffs appealed to the Second Circuit and the appeal was denied in 2025. The case has returned to New Mexico federal court and the defendants have filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings.
 
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 brought by certain swap execution facilities, which are pending in the SDNY. The complaints allege the defendants conspired to prevent the development of exchanges for IRS and demand unspecified money damages.
 
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, 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. Following a trial, the court ruled in 2018 that Barclays Bank PLC was not a defaulting party, which was affirmed on appeal. Barclays Bank PLC filed a counterclaim against BDC for damages, legal fees, expenses and interest. A trial on damages took place in June 2026 and proceedings are ongoing.
 
Civil actions in respect of the US Anti-Terrorism Act
Since 2014, 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 US Anti-Terrorism Act, which allows 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 was denied in 2025. 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. The defendants' motion to dismiss the consolidated action was granted as to all claims against Barclays and the other defendant banks except for one bank, which is seeking reconsideration. The 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 purported 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 plaintiff 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 sought 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 appealed the First Judicial Department's decision to the New York Court of Appeals. The dismissal was affirmed by the New York Court of Appeals in May 2025, concluding the matter. In November 2025, the same plaintiff filed a new complaint in New York state court against the same defendants. In February 2026, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the new complaint. The dismissal received court approval in March 2026, concluding the matter.
 
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 2020, CFSL was transferred from Barclays Bank PLC to Barclays Principal Investments Ltd (BPIL), another subsidiary of Barclays PLC. Barclays Bank PLC has provided an intragroup indemnity to BPIL in respect of historical litigation and conduct matters relating to CFSL.
 
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 where a commission was payable by the lender to the broker, and Barclays engaged with the FCA as part of this process. In March 2026, the FCA published its final rules for such scheme.
 
Barclays increased its provision in Q1 26 by £105m to reflect the expected financial impact of the redress scheme. The increase in provision was primarily driven by moving from a multi-scenario approach to a single scenario based on the FCA's final rules and higher compensatory interest. There has been no further increase in Q2 26 and the provision in respect of this matter is £430m as at 30 June 2026 (as at 31 December 2025: £325m). The provision as at 30 June 2026 reflects Barclays' estimate of cases in scope of the FCA redress scheme, 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 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 of the rules which require financial redress even where customers suffered no demonstrable financial harm. On 2 July 2026, the Upper Tribunal ordered a suspension of parts of the redress scheme following four legal challenges to the FCA's final rules. Such challenges will delay and may otherwise affect the implementation of the redress scheme. 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.
 
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 2023, holders of VXX ETNs brought a purported class action in the SDNY 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 the ETNs. The plaintiffs were granted leave to amend and filed a new complaint in March 2024. Barclays' motion to dismiss was granted in March 2025. The plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration was denied in June 2025. The plaintiffs appealed the decision, and in March 2026, the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal, thereby concluding the matter.
 
In 2024, a purported class action was filed in the SDNY 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. Barclays' motion to dismiss was granted in March 2025. The plaintiff appealed the decision granting Barclays' motion to dismiss and, in December 2025, the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal, thereby concluding the matter.
 
ABS related civil action
In February 2026, certain institutional investors filed a civil action in the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC, BCI, and other financial institutions in connection with the collapse of a US-based subprime auto lender, Tricolor Auto Acceptance, LLC. The plaintiffs, who hold notes issued by the auto lender's securitisation trusts, allege that the banks (acting as warehouse lenders and initial purchasers in the securitisations) either knew of, or were willfully blind to, red flags of the auto lender's alleged fraud. The plaintiffs seek damages for alleged securities fraud in connection with the alleged losses on their associated notes, and also assert fraudulent transfer claims against the lenders. The defendants' motion to dismiss the action was granted in June 2026. The plaintiffs may appeal.
 
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 appealed HMRC's decisions to the First-Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) in relation to both the retrospective VAT assessments and the ongoing 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. In 2024, the court upheld HMRC's denial of VAT grouping relating to one of the overseas subsidiaries. Barclays appealed this decision to the Upper Tribunal, which upheld HMRC's denial of VAT grouping in June 2026. Barclays has not sought to appeal this decision, but has other appeals filed in the Tax Chamber, both for this subsidiary and other overseas subsidiaries.
 
UK bank levy
In November 2024, HMRC updated its published guidance on the treatment of beneficiary accounts for the purposes of the exclusion of protected deposits from the UK bank levy charge. HMRC's interpretation of the UK bank levy legislation differs from Barclays' interpretation of the legislation, which has been applied in Barclays' UK bank levy returns and which Barclays continues to consider is correct. In December 2024, HMRC wrote to notify Barclays of its intention to challenge this treatment. Engagement with HMRC continues, and HMRC has not issued formal assessments.
 
3. Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank Ireland PLC
 
Potential indemnity claim relating to the sale of Barclays Consumer Bank Europe
In January 2025, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities, specifically the Consumer Bank Europe, its German consumer finance business, to BAWAG P.S.K., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAWAG Group AG (BAWAG). As part of the transaction, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC provided BAWAG with a capped indemnity in relation to transfer taxes on certain assets. Discussions with the relevant taxation authority remain at an early stage and no formal assessment has been issued.
 
4. Barclays PLC
 
Civil action in respect of statements concerning Barclays' former CEO
In 2023, a purported class action was filed in federal court in California against Barclays PLC and a number of current and former senior executives of Barclays PLC. It was amended in 2024 to assert US securities law claims against Barclays PLC and individual defendants, and a UK securities law claim against Barclays PLC. The complaint seeks to hold the defendants responsible for declines in the price of Barclays PLC's American depositary receipts and Barclays PLC's ordinary shares, 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. Barclays PLC and an individual defendant's motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part in June 2025, while another individual defendant's motion to dismiss was denied. The defendants moved for reconsideration or, alternatively, leave to appeal, which is pending before the court. The plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in July 2025, repleading the UK securities law claim against Barclays PLC and which Barclays PLC has moved to dismiss.
 
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, the effectiveness of systems and controls, 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.

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.

For qualifying ADR holders, the 2026 half year dividend of 5.9p per ordinary share becomes 23.6p per ADS (representing four shares).     The ex-dividend date for ADR holders is 7 August 2026. The dividend record and dividend payment dates for ADR holders are as shown above. The dividend fee chargeable by the ADR depositary to ADR holders is 4.5% of gross dividend.

DRIP participants will usually receive their additional ordinary shares (in lieu of a cash dividend) three to four days after the dividend
payment date. Qualifying ADR holders should contact Computershare Shareowner Services for further details regarding the DRIP.
