Barclays PLC
Statement on the Bank of England 2025 Bank Capital Stress Test
results
Barclays PLC ("Barclays") notes the publication today of stress
test outcomes for UK banks by the Bank of England ("BoE"). Under
the BoE's assessment, Barclays continues to be sufficiently
capitalised for the duration of the stress scenario.
The test demonstrates Barclays' continued robust and resilient
balance sheet position, and the capital target range of 13-14%
remains as before.
Barclays' group results from the BoE stress test are set out in the
table below.

(a) The low points for the common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio and
leverage ratio shown in the table do not necessarily occur in the
same year of the stress scenario and correspond to the year where
the minimum stressed ratio is calculated after strategic management
actions. There is no conversion of banks' AT1 instruments in the
stress.
(b) The CET1 capital ratio is defined as CET1 capital expressed as
a percentage of risk-weighted assets (RWAs), where CET1 capital and
RWAs are determined in accordance with the UK Capital Requirements
Regulation (CRR).
(c) Corresponds to the same year as the minimum CET1 ratio over the
stress scenario after strategic management actions.
(d) The Tier 1 capital ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital expressed
as a percentage of RWAs, where Tier 1 capital is defined as the sum
of CET1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital determined in
accordance with the CRR.
(e) The Total capital ratio is defined as total capital expressed
as a percentage of RWAs, where total capital is defined as the sum
of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital determined in accordance with
the CRR. 2024 actuals calculated applying the grandfathering of
certain CRR non-compliant capital instruments included within Tier
2 capital. Effective from 29 June 2025, these instruments no longer
qualified as Tier 2 Capital.
(f) The Tier 1 leverage ratio is Tier 1 capital expressed as a
percentage of the leverage exposure measure, determined in
accordance with the Leverage Ratio (CRR) part of the PRA
Rulebook.
(g) Corresponds to the same year as the minimum leverage ratio over
the stress scenario after strategic management
actions.

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

assumptions about the macroeconomic environment, including, without
limitations, inflation, interest and unemployment rates, the
different markets and competitive conditions in which Barclays

costs savings and other structural actions. Factors that could
impact Barclays' future financial condition and performance are
identified in Barclays PLC's filings with the US Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") (including, without limitation,
