Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Barclays PLC reported stronger 2025 results with higher returns and larger shareholder payouts. Group income rose to £29.1bn, up 9% year-on-year, while profit before tax increased 13% to £9.1bn. Return on tangible equity improved to 11.3% and earnings per share reached 43.8p, up 22%.

The bank announced total 2025 capital distributions of £3.7bn, including dividends of 8.6p per share and £2.5bn of share buybacks, with a new £1.0bn buyback announced. Tangible net asset value per share grew to 409p and the common equity tier 1 ratio strengthened to 14.3%.

All major divisions delivered double‑digit returns on tangible equity, with particularly strong contributions from the Investment Bank and UK businesses. Barclays set new medium‑term goals, targeting Group RoTE of greater than 12% in 2026 and greater than 14% in 2028, alongside plans to return at least £10bn of capital between 2024‑2026 and more than £15bn between 2026‑2028.

Positive

  • Strong 2025 profitability and returns: Income rose 9% to £29.1bn, profit before tax increased 13% to £9.1bn, RoTE improved to 11.3%, and EPS grew 22% to 43.8p, with all divisions delivering double‑digit RoTE.
  • Robust capital and sizable shareholder payouts: CET1 ratio increased to 14.3% and Barclays announced £3.7bn of 2025 capital distributions, alongside multi‑year plans to return at least £10bn (2024‑2026) and more than £15bn (2026‑2028).

Negative

  • Higher credit costs and conduct provisions: Credit impairment charges rose to £2.3bn, lifting the loan loss rate to 52bps from 46bps, and the Group booked a £325m provision for potential UK motor finance redress, weighing on reported earnings.

Insights

Barclays delivered solid 2025 profit and capital returns, while absorbing higher credit costs and setting ambitious 2028 targets.

Barclays generated profit before tax of £9.1bn, up 13%, with Group income of £29.1bn rising 9%. Return on tangible equity reached 11.3% and earnings per share increased to 43.8p, helped by growth across UK retail, corporate, investment banking and US cards.

Capital strength remained a key feature. The common equity tier 1 ratio improved to 14.3%, supported by higher profits, risk‑weighted asset optimisation and portfolio disposals. Total 2025 shareholder distributions were £3.7bn, including dividends of 8.6p and £2.5bn of buybacks, alongside a new £1.0bn buyback.

Risks are visible but contained in the figures. Credit impairment charges rose to £2.3bn, lifting the loan loss rate to 52bps, and Barclays recognised a £325m provision for potential UK motor finance redress. Management still guides to a through‑the‑cycle loan loss rate of 50‑60bps and targets Group RoTE above 12% in 2026 and above 14% in 2028, with capital return plans of at least £10bn over 2024‑2026 and more than £15bn over 2026‑2028.

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 71 to 79 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 Ukraine and the Middle East on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; changes in US legislation and policy; developments in the UK’s relationship with the European Union; the risk of cyberattacks, information or security breaches, technology failures or operational disruptions and any subsequent impact on the Group’s reputation, business or operations; the use of new technology, including artificial intelligence; the Group’s ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures and other strategic transactions. A number of these factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual financial position, results, financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures or its ability to meet commitments and targets may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. In setting its targets and outlook for the period 2026-2028, Barclays has made certain assumptions about the macroeconomic environment, including, without limitation, inflation, interest and unemployment rates, the different markets and competitive conditions in which Barclays operates, and its ability to grow certain businesses and achieve costs savings and other structural actions. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2025), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
 
Subject to Barclays PLC's obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the UK and the US) in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 
 
Performance Highlights
 
Barclays achieved all financial guidance in 2025 including a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 11.3%. Barclays is on track to deliver 2026 targets and is announcing new targets to 2028, including RoTE of greater than 14% in 2028 and capital distributions of greater than £15bn between 2026 and 2028
 
C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, commented
"Barclays achieved all financial guidance in 2025. RoTE was 11.3% as all divisions delivered double-digit RoTE. We distributed £3.7bn to our shareholders, including the £1.0bn share buyback announced today, up from £3.0bn in 2024. We ended the year with a robust common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14.3% (14.0% rebased for buyback). We grew profit before tax by 13%, earnings per share (EPS) by 22% and tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share by 15% to 409p, a tenth consecutive quarter of growth.
 
Our progress in the past two years provides a strong foundation to deliver more for our customers, clients and shareholders. As we outline in our plan for the next three years, we will invest further to improve customers’ experience and deepen relationships, while harnessing new technology, including AI, to improve efficiency and build segment-leading businesses and drive further growth. Our aim is to secure sustainably higher returns through to 2028 and beyond, delivering Group RoTE of greater than 14% in 2028 and greater than £15bn of capital distributions to shareholders between 2026 and 2028."

Group Finance Director's Review
 
FY25 Group performance
 
Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £9,139m (FY24: £8,108m), RoTE of 11.3% (FY24: 10.5%) and EPS of 43.8p (FY24: 36.0p)  
The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 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 9% to £29,140m driven by higher structural hedge income, higher income in Global Markets across FICC and Equities, Tesco Bank NII and lending growth, partially offset by the non-repeat of the £556m day 1 gain from the acquisition of Tesco Bank in the prior year  
Group total operating expenses increased to £17,745m (FY24: £16,735m)  
 
-
Group operating costs increased 5% to £17,040m, reflecting Tesco Bank run rate and integration costs, further investment spend, business growth and inflation, partially offset by c.£700m of cost efficiency savings  
 
 
            -         FY25 total structural cost actions of £285m (FY24: £273m) with Q425 structural cost actions of £90m (Q424: £110m) 
 
-
Litigation and conduct charges of £392m (FY24: £220m), included a £235m charge for motor finance redress in Q325  
Credit impairment charges increased to £2,279m (FY24: £1,982m), primarily driven by the impact of the GM portfolio acquisition, an IB single name charge and elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty. Total coverage ratio remained stable at 1.2% (December 2024: 1.2%)  
The effective tax rate (ETR) was 21.1% (FY24: 21.6%). The 2025 ETR included tax relief on payments made under Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments and on holdings of inflation-linked government bonds  
Attributable profit was £6,175m (FY24: £5,316m)  
Total assets increased to £1,544.2bn (December 2024: £1,518.2bn) driven by higher trading activity in IB, growth in the liquidity pool and higher lending in Barclays UK and UKCB. This was partially offset by a reduction in derivative assets and the strengthening of spot GBP against USD  
TNAV per share increased to 409p (December 2024: 357p) as EPS of 43.8p and a 16p benefit from the cash flow hedging reserve were partially offset by an 8p reduction from dividends paid during FY25. The impact of the share buybacks executed throughout 2025 was broadly neutral to TNAV per share  
 
Group capital and leverage
 
The CET1 ratio increased to 14.3% (December 2024: 13.6%). Taking into account the impact of the £1.0bn share buyback announced today, the CET1 ratio as of 31 December 2025 would be reduced to 14.0% (at the top end of the 13-14% target range)
The c.80bps increase in 2025 was driven by a CET1 capital increase of £2.5bn to £51.1bn and an RWA decrease of £1.4bn to £356.8bn:
 
-
c.170bps increase from attributable profit
 
-
c.100bps decrease driven by shareholder distributions including the interim dividend payment of 3.0p per share paid in September 2025, the completed £2.0bn share buybacks announced with FY24 and H125 Results, and the ongoing £0.5bn share buyback announced with Q325 Results, as well as the accrual for the FY25 dividend
 
-
c.30bps increase from other CET1 capital movements, including an increase in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve
 
-
c.20bps decrease as a result of a £5.2bn increase in RWAs, excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements. This was primarily driven by lending growth in the UK businesses and an increase in USCB, including the acquisition of the GM portfolio, partially offset by the disposal of the German consumer finance business and of Barclays' joint venture interest in Entercard Group AB (Entercard)
 
-
A £1.1bn decrease in CET1 capital due to a decrease in the currency translation reserve was partially offset by a £6.5bn decrease in RWAs as a result of foreign exchange movements
The UK leverage ratio increased to 5.1% (December 2024: 5.0%), as Tier 1 capital increased by £3.2bn, partially offset by a £40.8bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,247.3bn. The increase in leverage exposure was largely driven by an increase in trading activity in IB and higher lending in Barclays UK and UKCB, partially offset by the strengthening of spot GBP against USD
 
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 £337.8bn, an increase of £40.9bn from December 2024. The increase in the liquidity pool was primarily driven by increased wholesale funding and deposit growth across businesses 
The average1 LCR was 170.0% (December 2024: 172.4%), equivalent to a surplus of £131.2bn (December 2024: £127.5bn)
Total deposits increased to £585.6bn (December 2024: £560.7bn), primarily driven by customer deposit growth in International Corporate Bank, UKCB and deposits from commercial and non-commercial banks
The average2 Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 135.2% (December 2024: 134.9%), which represents a £166.3bn surplus (December 2024: £162.9bn) above the 100% regulatory requirement
Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £220.1bn (December 2024: £186.0bn)
The Group issued £16.1bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) as of Q425. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 35.8%, which is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 30.5% plus a confidential, institution specific, Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer

Other matters
 
Motor finance: On 7 October 2025, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) began consulting on an industry-wide compensation scheme for eligible motor finance customers. Barclays considers it more likely than not that a redress scheme will be implemented by the FCA. As a result, Barclays and Clydesdale Financial Services Ltd (a subsidiary of Barclays PLC) have recognised a provision of £325m in respect of this matter as at 31 December 2025 (as at 31 December 2024: £90m). Barclays has engaged with the FCA as part of its consultation process and the FCA’s Policy Statement and final redress scheme rules are currently expected to be published in February or March 2026. The ultimate financial impact on Barclays could differ from the recognised provision, which represents Barclays’ best estimate of the cost of redress based on the information currently available to Barclays
FCA investigations concerning financial crime systems and controls and compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations: In July 2025, the FCA concluded civil enforcement investigations into Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC regarding compliance with anti-money laundering regulations and financial crime controls. Barclays Bank PLC paid £39m to resolve its investigation, and Barclays Bank UK PLC settled a separate matter for £9m (including a £6m voluntary payment to investors). These amounts were fully provided for in Barclays H125 interim Results. The FCA acknowledged Barclays’ cooperation in both cases, which are now closed
Disposal of German consumer finance business: In Q125, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC announced the completion of the sale of its German consumer finance business to BAWAG P.S.K., a wholly owned subsidiary of BAWAG Group AG. The sale released c.£3.3bn of RWAs, increasing Barclays’ CET1 ratio by c.10bps in Q125
Long-term strategic partnership for Payment Acceptance business: On 17 April 2025, Barclays announced it had entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Brookfield Asset Management Ltd to grow and transform Barclays' Payment Acceptance business, previously referred to as the Merchant Acquiring business
GM portfolio acquisition: On 22 August 2025, Barclays completed the acquisition of a US credit card portfolio of $1.6bn receivables, in partnership with General Motors Company. The partnership will serve to further scale Barclays’ credit card portfolio in the US and build on its growth strategy
Disposal of Barclays' entire shareholding in Entercard: On 28 August 2025, Barclays announced the sale of its entire shareholding in its joint venture Entercard to its joint venture partner, Swedbank AB (publ). The sale completed in Q425 and released c.£0.9bn of RWAs, increasing Barclays’ CET1 ratio by c.4bps
Best Egg, Inc. (Best Egg) acquisition: On 28 October 2025, Barclays announced an agreement for Barclays Bank Delaware to acquire Best Egg for $800m, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions. Best Egg is a leading US directtoconsumer personal loan origination platform focused on prime borrowers. Completion is expected in Q226, after completion of the previously announced sale of Barclays’ American Airlines cobranded credit card receivables. The net estimated impact of both transactions is expected to increase Barclays’ CET1 ratio by c.6bps in Q226

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 20.7% (FY24: 23.1%¹) supported by robust income, the integration of Tesco Bank, disciplined cost management and normalising levels of impairment underpinned by strong asset quality.
 
2025 compared to 2024
 
Income statement
 
Profit before tax decreased 5% to £3,413m
 
 
Total income increased 5% to £8,708m. NII increased 15% to £7,653m, as higher structural hedge income and the impact from Tesco Bank were partially offset by retail deposit dynamics. Net fee, commission and other income decreased 36% to £1,055m primarily driven by the non-repeat of the day 1 gain from the acquisition of Tesco Bank
 
 
Total operating expenses increased 13% to £4,882m, driven by Tesco Bank run and integration costs, and inflation. Ongoing efficiency savings continue to be reinvested, to drive sustainable improvement to the cost: income ratio
 
 
Credit impairment charges were £413m (FY24: £365m), underpinned by balance growth and stable credit performance. The UK cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates were 0.8% (Q424: 0.7%) and 0.2% (Q424: 0.2%) respectively. The UK cards total coverage ratio decreased to 4.3% (December 2024: 4.8%) driven by resilient customer behaviour
 
 
Balance sheet
 
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased £8.8bn to £216.5bn, primarily driven by growth in mortgages and cards lending in Retail Banking, partially offset by continued repayment of government scheme lending in Business Banking
 
 
Customer deposits at amortised cost increased by £0.4bn to £244.6bn, driven by an increase in Retail Banking deposits, partially offset by a reduction in Business Banking current accounts. The loan:deposit ratio remained broadly stable at 94% (December 2024: 92%)
 
 
RWAs increased to £85.8bn (December 2024: £84.5bn) primarily due to growth in mortgages and cards lending in Retail Banking, partially offset by securitisations

FY24 included the day 1 impacts from the acquisition of Tesco Bank: total income gain of £556m, credit impairment charges of £209m, and profit before tax benefit of £347m.

UKCB delivered a RoTE of 18.9% (FY24: 16.0%), as increased income from higher average deposit and lending balances was partially offset by continued investment and higher RWAs to support future growth ambitions.

Income statement
 
Profit before tax increased 33% to £970m
 
 
Total income increased 16% to £2,064m, NII increased 23% to £1,480m, driven by higher average deposit and lending balances, and higher structural hedge income. Net fee, commission, trading and other income was broadly stable at £584m
 
 
Total operating expenses increased 9% to £1,057m, including a litigation and conduct charge of £39m in Q225. Operating costs increased 6% to £989m, reflecting higher investment spend to support business growth ambitions, with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds

Balance sheet
 
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased to £30.0bn (December 2024: £25.4bn), reflecting the strategic focus to grow lending
 
 
Deposits at amortised cost increased to £88.7bn (December 2024: £83.1bn), driven by an inflow of balances from new and existing clients
 
 
RWAs increased to £26.5bn (December 2024: £23.9bn), reflecting higher client lending limits and growth in lending balances

IB delivered a RoTE of 10.6% (FY24: 8.5%), driven by strong performance in Global Markets and the International Corporate Bank, whilst maintaining cost and capital discipline, driving positive operating jaws and improved RWA productivity.
 
2025 compared to 2024
 
Income statement
 
Profit before tax increased to £4,614m (FY24: £3,774m)
 
 
IB has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 3% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
 
 
Total income increased 11% to £13,055m, including adverse average FX impacts
 
 
-
 
Global Markets income increased 15% to £8,654m across FICC and Equities
 
 
 
-
 
FICC income increased 16% to £5,429m, reflecting continued support provided to clients through a range of environments, including a strong performance in Macro, Securitised products and Credit, and sustained strength in Fixed Income Financing
 
 
 
-
 
Equities income increased 12% to £3,225m (up 17% excluding the prior year £125m fair value gain on Visa B shares in Q124), reflecting growth in Prime Financing due to increased client balances and Cash from strong client activity across products
 
 
-
 
Investment Banking income increased 3% to £4,401m
 
 
 
-
 
Banking fees and underwriting income decreased 2% to £2,464m, primarily driven by a 21% decline in Equity Capital Markets fees due to a strong prior year comparator, which included a large UK rights issue in Q224, partially offset by Debt Capital Markets and Advisory
 
 
 
-
 
International Corporate Bank income increased 10% to £1,937m. Corporate lending income increased to £247m due to net gains on fair value lending and cost of hedging (c.£130m)1. Transaction banking income increased 5% to £1,690m, as higher income from growth in deposit balances was partially offset by margin compression due to change in deposits product mix
 
 
Total operating expenses increased 3% to £8,136m, driven by inflationary headwinds, higher performance costs and expenses associated with supporting the business strategy, partially offset by efficiency savings and FX
 
 
Credit impairment charges were £305m (FY24: £123m), primarily driven by a single name charge in Q325 and elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty booked in Q125
 
 
Balance sheet
 
Loans and advances at amortised costs increased to £130.3bn (December 2024: £124.4bn) driven by increased investment in debt securities in treasury
 
 
Trading portfolio assets increased to £189.5bn (December 2024: £166.1bn) driven by increased trading activity to facilitate client demand in Global Markets, partially offset by the strengthening of spot GBP against USD
 
 
Financial assets at fair value through the income statement decreased to £183.6bn (December 2024: £190.4bn) as underlying growth in financing balances were more than offset by increased netting opportunities and the strengthening of spot GBP against USD
 
 
Derivative financial instrument assets decreased to £251.5bn (December 2024: £291.6bn) and liabilities decreased to £240.6bn (December 2024: £279.0bn) primarily driven by a reduction in mark-to-market on FX derivatives and strengthening of spot GBP against USD, partially offset by an increase in equity derivatives
 
 
Deposits at amortised cost increased to £156.1bn (December 2024: £140.5bn) driven by growth in deposits across International Corporate Bank and treasury, partially offset by the strengthening of spot GBP against USD
 
 
RWAs were broadly stable at £196.7bn (December 2024: £198.8bn) mainly driven by business activity as we continued to support clients through a range of environments, offset by the strengthening of spot GBP against USD

USCB delivered a RoTE of 11.0% (FY24: 9.1%), reflecting continued operational progress, as increased income from business growth and higher net interest margins were partially offset by higher impairment charges relating to the acquisition of the GM portfolio in August 2025 and US macroeconomic uncertainty.
 
2025 compared to 2024
 
Income statement
 
Profit before tax increased to £515m (FY24: £407m)
 
 
The 3% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
 
 
Total income increased 11% to £3,681m, driven by organic business growth, the acquisition of the GM portfolio, increased purchase activity, and a c.£40m one-off benefit related to partner rewards in Q425. NII increased 6% to £2,820m with a net interest margin (NIM) of 11.14% (FY24: 10.65%), including business growth and repricing initiatives. Net fee, commission and other income increased 29% to £861m driven by purchases, and fee growth
 
 
Total operating expenses increased 1% to £1,645m, driven by partner-related expenses and supporting business growth, with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds
 
 
Credit impairment charges were £1,521m (FY24: £1,293m), driven by the impact from the acquisition of the GM portfolio and elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty. The lower charge in prior year was influenced by the impact of credit risk management actions and methodology enhancements. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates1 were 3.0% (Q424: 3.0%) and 1.6% (Q424: 1.6%) respectively. The USCB total coverage ratio decreased to 11.1% (December 2024: 11.4%) due to the acquisition of the GM portfolio
 
 
Balance sheet
 
Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased to £21.1bn (December 2024: £20.0bn), reflecting the acquisition of the GM portfolio and organic growth, partially offset by strengthening of spot GBP against USD
 
 
Deposits at amortised cost increased to £24.2bn (December 2024: £23.3bn), with growth in retail savings which is in line with USCB's ambition to grow core deposits, partially offset by the strengthening of spot GBP against USD
 
 
RWAs increased to £27.4bn (December 2024: £26.8bn), reflecting the acquisition of the GM portfolio and organic growth, partially offset by the strengthening of spot GBP against USD

Income statement
 
Loss before tax was £748m (FY24: £767m)
 
 
Total income decreased to £252m (FY24: £294m), primarily from the impact of the disposal of the German consumer finance business in Q125 and a fair value write-down of a legacy portfolio, partially offset by the non-recurrence of the prior year loss on sale of the performing Italian retail mortgage portfolio
 
 
Total operating expenses increased to £1,012m (FY24: £979m), primarily driven by higher litigation and conduct charges including the £235m charge for motor finance redress in FY25 (FY24: £90m) and the expense for the employee share grant announced at FY24 Results, partially offset by the impact of the disposal of the German consumer finance business
 
 
Credit impairment charges decreased to £11m (FY24: £119m), driven by the disposal of the German consumer finance business and non-repeat of the prior year loss on sale of the non-performing Italian retail mortgage portfolio
 
 
Balance sheet
 
RWAs decreased to £12.3bn (December 2024: £16.2bn), driven by the disposal of the German consumer finance business and the disposal of Barclays' joint venture interest in Entercard

Structural hedge
 
The Group employs a structural hedge programme designed to stabilise NIM on fixed rate non-maturity balance sheet items that are behaviourally stable. As interest rates move, such balances would otherwise drive material income volatility where there is a re-pricing mismatch with floating rate assets.
 
The structural hedge predominantly covers non-interest-bearing current accounts and the fixed portion of instant access savings accounts as well as equity, which are invested into either floating rate customer assets or balances at central banks, creating an exposure to changes in interest rates. The structural hedge is executed via a portfolio of receive-fixed, pay variable interest rate swaps, with an amortising structure so that a small portion matures and is reinvested each month at prevailing market rates. The pay-floating leg of the interest rate swaps nets down a proportion of the receive-floating income from the customer assets, leaving a receive-fixed income stream from the structural hedge.
 
The purpose of the structural hedge is to smooth the Group NII through time. The floating leg of the swap will re-price immediately, whereas the fixed rate yield on the portfolio reprices gradually, as a portion of the swap portfolio matures and the roll is re-invested onto new market rates.
 
When interest rates are higher than our structural hedge yield, the pay-floating rate will typically be higher than our average receive-fixed rate. In this scenario, when viewed in isolation, the structural hedge will be a net drag to Group NII. When floating rates are lower than our structural hedge yield, the hedge in isolation will be a net benefit.
 
Since the receive-fixed swaps are booked for a specific term, an element of NII is ‘locked in’. The income stabilising feature of the structural hedge provides greater net interest income certainty through the interest rate cycle.
 
The structural hedge is one component of a larger portfolio of interest rate risk management activities that includes non-structural hedging (e.g. pay-fixed and receive-variable flows for asset hedging), and other offsetting flows. The net risk of these positions is executed externally through interest rate swaps and managed for accounting risk (i.e. income volatility arising from the accounting mismatch of swaps at fair value through profit and loss and underlying hedged items at amortised cost) within the cash flow hedging reserve.
 
Overall the Group has external derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that hedge interest rate risk with a notional £114.6bn (December 2024: £105.6bn) which reflects the structural hedge notional of £236.1bn (December 2024: £232.3bn) netted with non-structural hedging positions of £121.5bn (December 2024: £126.7bn). The majority of these interest rate swaps are cleared with Central Clearing Counterparties and margined daily.
 
Economic risk management objectives and strategies have remained consistent. The stability of the hedgeable balances through 2025 have supported the full reinvestment of maturing hedges, increasing the notional by £4bn, and an increase in the average hedge duration from c.3 to c.3.5 years, which further increase the stability of income.
 
Gross structural hedge contributions were £5,923m (2024: £4,708m). Gross structural hedge contributions represent the absolute interest income earned on the fixed legs of the swaps in the structural hedge as the floating leg is offset by the base rate funding of the deposits.
 
Performance Management
 
Remuneration
 
Deferred bonuses are payable only once an employee meets certain conditions, including a specified period of future service. This creates a timing difference between the communication of the bonus pool and the charges that are recognised in the income statement which are reconciled in the table below to show the charge for performance costs. Refer to the Remuneration Report on pages 158 to 198 of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2025 for further detail on remuneration. The table below includes the other elements of compensation and staff costs.

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.
 
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 below tables 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 are measured over a 12-month period.

Refinements to models used for calculation reported within Retail mortgages include a £(49)m movement in the calculated ECL for the UK Mortgages portfolio. In Retail credit cards, this include a £(204)m movement in UK Cards and a £(12)m movement in US Cards portfolio, respectively. These reflect model enhancements made during the period. Barclays continually reviews the output of models to determine accuracy of the ECL calculation including review of model monitoring, external benchmarking and experience of model operation over an extended period of time. This helps to ensure that the models used continue to reflect the risks inherent in the businesses.
2
The £594m of gross disposals reported within Retail mortgages include £584m transfer of facilities to a non-consolidated SPV for the purpose of securitisation and £10m relates to sale of the Italian mortgage loans. The £457m of gross disposals reported within Retail credit cards relate to debt sales undertaken during the period.
3
Business activity in the year reported within Retail credit cards include £1.2bn related to acquisition of the GM co-branded card portfolio within USCB.
4
'Net drawdowns, repayments, net re-measurement and movements due to exposure and risk parameter changes' reported within Retail credit cards include a gain recognised on the reassessment of purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) assets, where the expected credit loss on POCI assets is lower than anticipated at the time of purchase. The resulting increase in carrying value is recognised within gross exposure rather than as a negative impairment allowance.

Management adjustments to models for impairment
 
Management adjustments to impairment models are applied in order to factor in certain conditions or changes in policy that are not fully incorporated into the impairment models, or to reflect additional facts and circumstances at the period end. Management adjustments are reviewed and incorporated into future model development where applicable.
 
Management adjustments are captured through “Economic uncertainty” and “Other” adjustments, and are presented by product and geography below:

Economic uncertainty adjustments
 
Economic uncertainty adjustments are captured in two ways. First, customer uncertainty: the identification of customers and clients who may be more vulnerable to economic instability; and second, model uncertainty: to capture the impact of model limitations and sensitivities to specific macroeconomic parameters, which are applied at a portfolio level.
 
The Group continues to monitor the elevated tariffs, trade tensions, and geopolitical risks, especially in the US. In response, an adjustment of £81m introduced during Q125 has been retained, with any resulting effects on customer behaviour yet to materialise.
 
Total economic uncertainty adjustments as at 31 December 2025 are £115m (December 2024: £78m) and include:
 
Customer and client uncertainty provisions of £115m (December 2024: £53m):
 
 
Retail mortgages (UK) £nil (December 2024: £11m): The prior refinancing risk adjustment was retired following the rebuild of the UK Mortgages impairment models, which now better capture sensitivity to interest rate and inflation movements
 
 
Retail credit cards (ROW) £31m (December 2024: £nil): This adjustment reflects elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty, with impacts yet to materialise in consumer behaviour
 
 
Corporate loans (UK) £39m (December 2024: £42m): This adjustment reflects potential cross-default risk on Barclays’ lending in respect of clients who have taken out Bounce Back Loans
 
 
Corporate loans (ROW) £44m (December 2024: £nil): This adjustment reflects elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty, with impacts yet to materialise in borrower behaviour
 
Model uncertainty provisions of £nil (December 2024: £25m):
 
 
Retail mortgages (UK) £nil (December 2024: £25m): The prior adjustment to address model over-sensitivity was retired following the rebuild of the UK Mortgages impairment models, which now better capture consumer responses to the macroeconomic outlook
 
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 31 December 2025 are £254m (December 2024: £150m) and include:
 
 
Retail mortgages (UK) £15m (December 2024: £71m): The reduction is driven by the retirement of adjustments following the rebuild of the UK Mortgages impairment models
 
 
Retail credit cards (UK) £nil (December 2024: £(22)m): The prior adjustment to address default over-prediction was retired following model remediation in the UK Cards portfolio
 
 
Retail credit cards (ROW) £87m (December 2024: £(23)m): This adjustment reflects provisioning for the GM consumer cards portfolio acquired during the year, while the previously held high-risk account management (HRAM) adjustment was retired following model remediation in USCB
 
 
Retail other (UK) £85m (December 2024: £90m) and Corporate loans (UK) £53m (December 2024: £39m): These include adjustments for definition of default (DOD) criteria under the Capital Requirements Regulation and model monitoring outcomes, which were re-sized during the year
 
 
Corporate loans (ROW) £13m (December 2024: £(2)m): This adjustment reflects provisioning for the GM business cards portfolio acquired during the year
 
 
Debt securities £nil (December 2024: £(7)m): The movement is driven by the retirement of the Exposure at Default recalibration adjustment following model remediation in the IB portfolio
 
Measurement uncertainty
 
Scenarios used to calculate the Group’s ECL charge were refreshed in Q425, 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 rapidly changing trade policies and uncertainty around potential tariffs to be imposed by the US administration and responses by other governments. Global growth slows modestly as rising US tariffs and retaliatory measures disrupt trade flows, dampen business confidence, and weigh on investment, though domestic demand in advanced economies remains resilient. UK and US GDP growth in 2026 is expected to be 1.1% and 2.0%, respectively. Labour markets in major economies soften slightly amid increased uncertainty and slower export-orientated activity. However, the weakening is contained and does not rise significantly from current levels. UK and US quarterly unemployment rates peak at 4.9% and 4.5%, respectively. Central Banks continue to loosen monetary policy with both the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve finishing 2026 with an interest rate of 3.25%.
 
The Downside scenarios have been calibrated to capture an escalation of trade tensions, where tariffs imposed by the US prompt retaliation from its trading partners with adverse implications for consumer prices and investment sentiment. A sharp slowdown in immigration coupled with mass deportations disrupts the US labour market, compounding downside risks to growth. In addition, global supply chains are severely disrupted as firms delay investment, reassess production locations and hoard production inputs. Imports into the US contract sharply due to higher prices and exports fall due to retaliation. The combination of trade impact and consumer uncertainty triggers a sharp recession, not only in the US but also in the UK and Europe driven by a severe decline in exports, business sentiment and with investment and consumption plans being put on hold. The rapid fall in external demand and a retrenchment in business investment push up unemployment rates, where job losses are concentrated in trade-exposed sectors (machinery, autos, consumer durables) but also spill into services. The Federal Reserve initially holds rates steady, weighing the inflation shock against the deteriorating real economy. However, as the slowdown deepens and the labour market loosens, the Federal Reserve cuts rates swiftly to stimulate aggregate demand. The Bank of England eases monetary policy amid a disinflationary environment and looser labour markets.
 
In the Upside scenarios, a rise in labour force participation and higher productivity contribute to accelerated economic growth, without creating new inflationary pressures. Central banks lower interest rates stimulating private consumption and investment growth. Demand for labour increases and unemployment rates stabilise and start falling again. As geopolitical tensions ease, low inflation supports consumer purchasing power and contributes further to healthy GDP growth. The strong economic outlook and lower interest rates provide a boost to house prices growth and support bullish financial markets.
 
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 median is centred around the Baseline with scenarios further from the Baseline attracting a lower weighting before the five weights are normalised to total 100%. The movement in weights is driven by the combined impact of two factors: (i) improvement in GDP growth in the Baseline scenario, bringing the Baseline scenario closer to the Upside scenarios; and (ii) model improvements, which increase the Baseline weight and reduce the weights of the tail scenarios. For further details see page 43.
 
The Group has retained the £81m uncertainty adjustment introduced in Q125 across the US Consumer Bank and Investment Bank businesses, reflecting elevated tariffs, trade tensions, and geopolitical risks, with any resulting effects on customer behaviour yet to materialise. For further details see page 38.
 
The following tables show the key macroeconomic variables used in the five scenarios (5-year annual paths) and the weights applied to each scenario.

ECL sensitivity analysis
 
The table below shows the modelled ECL assuming each of the five modelled scenarios are 100% weighted with the dispersion of results around the Baseline, highlighting the impact on exposure and ECL across the scenarios.
 
Model exposure uses exposure at default (EAD) values and is not directly comparable to gross exposure used in other disclosures.

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 exposure and ECL reported within Retail credit cards and Corporate loans continue to include a co-branded card portfolio in USCB, classified as assets held for sale.
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 31 December 2025 and not on the macroeconomic scenario.
4
Material corporate loan defaults are individually assessed across different recovery strategies. As a result, ECL of £672m is reported as an individually assessed impairment in the reconciliation table.
5
ECL from benchmarked exposures and others includes ECL on Tesco Bank of £400m 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 1.3%.
 
Retail mortgages: Total weighted ECL of £62m represents a 21.6% increase over the Baseline ECL (£51m). Total ECL increases to £190m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by a fall in UK HPI.
Retail credit cards: Total weighted ECL of £3,336m is broadly aligned to the Baseline ECL (£3,332m). Total ECL increases to £3,715m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by an increase in UK and US unemployment rate.
Retail other: Total weighted ECL of £192m represents a 3.8% increase over the Baseline ECL (£185m). Total ECL increases to £259m under the Downside 2 scenario, largely driven by an increase in UK unemployment rate.
Corporate loans: Total weighted ECL of £768m represents a 4.6% increase over the Baseline ECL (£734m). Total ECL increases to £1,279m under the Downside 2 scenario, driven by a decrease in UK and US GDP.

Model exposure and ECL reported within Retail credit cards and Retail Other excludes the German consumer finance business, sale of which completed after the balance sheet date. Model exposure and ECL reported within Retail credit cards and Corporate loans continue to include a co-branded card portfolio, as its sale is expected to close in 2026.

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.

Material corporate loan defaults are individually assessed across different recovery strategies. As a result, ECL of £461m is reported as an individually assessed impairment in the reconciliation table.

ECL from benchmarked exposures and others includes ECL on Tesco Bank of £209m 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.

Includes a co-branded card portfolio in USCB, classified as held for sale (see table below).
 
UK cards: Gross exposure increased from £15.8bn to £17.2bn following a growth in spend and new promotional balance lending. 30 and 90 day arrears rates remained stable at 0.8% (2024: 0.7%) and 0.2% (2024: 0.2%) respectively. Gross and net write-off rates reduced slightly to 1.0% (2024: 1.1%) and 0.8% (2024: 0.9%), reflecting the impact of reduced flow into delinquency in 2024 flowing into write-off.
 
UK personal loans: Gross exposure increased from £8.1bn to £8.5bn due to a growth in new lending. 30 and 90 day arrears rates remained stable at 1.1% (2024: 1.0%) and 0.5% (2024: 0.4%) respectively. Gross and net write off rates also remained stable at 0.7% (2024: 0.7%) and 0.6% (2024: 0.5%) respectively.
 
Barclays Partner Finance: 30 and 90 day arrears rates remained stable at 0.7% (2024: 0.6%) and 0.3% (2024: 0.3%) respectively with total exposure reducing to £1.2bn (2024: £1.6bn) due to a strategic decision to reduce the number of active partner businesses. Both annualised gross and net write off rates increased to 1.2% (2024: 1.0%) following the reduction in gross exposure.
 
US cards: 30 day and 90 day arrears rates remained flat at 3.0% (2024: 3.0%) and 1.6% (2024: 1.6%) respectively. Gross and net write off rates reduced to 3.4% (2024: 3.8%) and 3.2% (2024: 3.7%) respectively reflecting lower default volumes and stable recovery performance.

Diversification effects recognise that forecast losses from different assets or businesses are unlikely to occur concurrently, hence the expected aggregate loss is lower than the sum of the expected losses from each area. Historical correlations between losses are taken into account in making these assessments. The high and low VaR figures reported for each category did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low total management VaR. Consequently, a diversification effect balance for the high and low VaR figures would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the above table.
 
Average Management VaR decreased 30% to £18m (2024: £26m). The decrease was mainly due to a combination of a reduction in the size of the funded, fair value leverage loan exposure in 2025 as well as an overall prudent risk positioning.
 
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 expected to contract over time from recent 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 31 December 2025 the average LCR was 170.0% (December 2024: 172.4%). The Group held eligible liquid assets in excess of 100% of net stress outflows as measured according to both its internal ILST and external regulatory requirements.

Net Stable Funding Ratio
 
The external NSFR metric requires banks to maintain a stable funding profile taking into account both on and certain off-balance sheet exposures over a medium to long term period. The ratio is defined as the Available Stable Funding (capital and certain liabilities which are treated as stable sources of funding) relative to the Required Stable Funding (a measure of assets on the balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet exposures which may require longer term funding). The NSFR (average of last four quarter ends) as at 31 December 2025 was 135.2%, which was a surplus above the regulatory requirement of £166.3bn.

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 99.5% (December 2024: over 98%) 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 2024: over 85%) comprised UK, US, French, German, Japanese, Swiss and Dutch securities.
 
The Group liquidity pool was £337.8bn as at December 2025, increased by £40.9 vs. December 2024 (December 2024: £296.9bn).
 
In Q4 2025, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from £326bn to £352bn (2024: £297bn to £341bn), and the month-end average balance was £337bn (2024: £322bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and represents readily accessible funds to meet potential cash outflows during stress periods.
 
As at 31 December 2025, 68% (December 2024: 60%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC, 17% (December 2024: 23%) in Barclays Bank UK PLC and 9% (December 2024: 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 31 December 2025 are summarised below:

Composition of wholesale funding
 
Wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was £220.1bn (December 2024: £186.0bn). In FY25, the Group issued £16.1bn of MREL eligible instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in a range of tenors and currencies.
 
Our operating companies also access wholesale funding markets to maintain their stable and diversified funding bases. Barclays Bank PLC continued to issue in the shorter-term and medium-term notes markets. In addition, Barclays Bank UK PLC continued to issue in the shorter-term markets and maintains active secured funding programmes.
 
Wholesale funding of £83.9bn (December 2024: £55.0bn) matures in less than one year, representing 38% (December 2024: 30%) of total wholesale funding outstanding. This includes £28.4bn (December 2024: £22.0bn) related to term funding1.

Regulatory minimum requirements
 
Capital
 
As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s Overall Capital Requirement for CET1, excluding any applicable PRA buffer, was 12.2% and comprised a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.7% Pillar 2A requirement and a 1.0% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).
 
The Group’s CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group has exposures. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material.
 
The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement is 4.8% with at least 56.25% to be met with CET1 capital, equating to 2.7% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement, based on a point in time assessment, has been set as a proportion of RWAs and is subject to at least annual review.
 
The Group’s CET1 target ratio of 13-14% takes into account minimum capital requirements and applicable buffers. The Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements and applicable buffers.
 
Leverage
 
As at 31 December 2025, the Group was subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.1%. This comprised the 3.25% minimum requirement, a G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.53% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB) of 0.3%. The Group is also required to disclose an average UK leverage ratio which is based on capital on the last day of each month in the quarter and an exposure measure for each day in the quarter.
 
MREL
 
As at 31 December 2025, 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 the confidential institution-specific PRA buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.
 
Significant regulatory updates in the period
 
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has continued its phased implementation of the Basel 3.1 standards. Following near final policy statements in December 2023 and September 2024, the PRA announced in January 2025 that full implementation would be delayed until 1 January 2027, a timeline that has now been confirmed in the PRA’s final rules published in January 2026.
 
In July 2025, the PRA consulted on targeted amendments to the market risk framework and confirmed a staged approach to the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), under which implementation of the Internal Models Approach (IMA) will be deferred by one year to 1 January 2028, while all other FRTB elements remain scheduled for implementation from 1 January 2027. This timeline was also confirmed by the PRA in January 2026.

CET1 capital increased by £2.5bn to £51.1bn (December 2024: £48.6bn). Significant movements in the period were:
 
 
£7.2bn of capital generated from profit partially offset by distributions of £4.7bn comprising:
 
 
-
 
£2.5bn share buybacks including the now completed £1.0bn announced with FY24 results and £1.0bn announced with H125 results and the ongoing £0.5bn share buyback announced with Q325 results
 
 
-
 
£1.2bn of ordinary share dividends paid and foreseen reflecting £0.4bn interim dividend paid in September 2025 and a £0.8bn accrual towards the FY25 dividend
 
 
-
 
£1.0bn of equity coupons paid and foreseen
 
 
 
 
 
£0.2bn decrease in other qualifying reserves including a £1.1bn reduction in the currency translation reserve primarily as a result of the strengthening of spot GBP against USD, partially offset by a £0.8bn gain in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve.

2024 comparatives for UK leverage ratios have been calculated applying the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements in accordance with the CRR. Effective from 1 January 2025, the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements no longer applied.
2
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 £6.6bn and against the 0.3% CCLB was £3.7bn.
 
The UK leverage ratio increased to 5.1% (December 2024: 5.0%), as Tier 1 capital increased by £3.2bn, partially offset by a £40.8bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,247.3bn. The increase in leverage exposure was largely driven by an increase in trading activity in IB and higher lending in Barclays UK and UKCB, partially offset by the strengthening of spot GBP against USD.

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 will be paid on 31 March 2026 to the shareholders on the Share Register on 20 February 2026. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 do not reflect this dividend, which will be accounted for in Shareholders' Equity as an appropriation of retained profits in the year ending 31 December 2026. A half year dividend for 2025 of 3.0p (H124: 2.9p) per ordinary share was paid on 16 September 2025.
 
The Directors have confirmed their intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £1.0bn after the balance sheet date. The share buyback is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2026. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 do not reflect the impact of the proposed share buyback, which will be accounted for as and when shares are repurchased by the Company. Dividends and share buybacks are funded out of distributable reserves.

Fair value of financial instruments
 
 
This section should be read in conjunction with Note 17, Fair value of financial instruments of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 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.
 
Assets and liabilities transferred between levels
 
During the year ended 31 December 2025, there were £42.7bn assets and £(9.9)bn liabilities transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 (year ended 31 December 2024: there were no material transfers). Additionally, there were £0.8bn assets and £(2.8)bn liabilities transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 (year ended 31 December 2024: there were no material transfers). These transfers reflect enhancement to the Group’s levelling policy, including the use of additional data in the active market assessment of Level 1 government bonds and updated assessments of unobservable market parameters for government bonds and issued debt; resulting in an increase in Level 3 balances.
 
The following table shows the Group’s assets and liabilities that are held at fair value disaggregated by the fair value hierarchy and balance sheet classification:

Customer redress provisions comprise the estimated cost of making redress payments to customers, clients and counterparties for losses or damages associated with inappropriate judgement in the execution of the Group’s business activities.
 
Motor finance provision
 
From 2003 to late 2019, Clydesdale Financial Services Limited (CFSL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, provided motor finance to customers in the UK.
 
In January 2024, the FCA appointed a skilled person to undertake a review of the historical use of discretionary commission arrangements and sales in the motor finance market across several firms. This review followed two final decisions by the UK Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and a number of complaints and court claims, including some against CFSL.
 
On 7 October 2025, the FCA began consulting on an industry wide compensation scheme for eligible motor finance customers. Barclays has engaged with the FCA as part of its consultation process and the FCA has stated that, if it introduces a redress scheme, it expects to publish a policy statement and final rules in February or March 2026, with compensation to consumers beginning later in 2026. The FCA has indicated that it expects to lift the existing pause on the handling of certain motor finance complaints on 31 May 2026, subject to the terms of the FCA redress scheme, if adopted.
 
Barclays considers it more likely than not that a redress scheme will be implemented by the FCA. As a result, Barclays has recognised a provision of £325m in respect of this matter as at 31 December 2025 (as at 31 December 2024: £90m). Recognising that the proposed terms of the FCA redress scheme are subject to consultation, in calculating potential redress costs and the amount of provision required, Barclays has applied a weighted average of multiple scenarios, each incorporating differing evaluations of the FCA’s current proposals. The current provision reflects the estimated number of motor finance cases falling within the scope of the FCA redress scheme as proposed by the FCA consultation paper (which covers regulated motor finance agreements between 6 April 2007 and 1 November 2024 where a commission was payable by the lender to the broker), the anticipated level of customer redress reflecting the FCA’s proposed methodology, the estimated customer response rate with reference to Barclays previous remediation exercises, and the costs associated with implementing the FCA’s proposed approach to customer engagement.
 
The final terms of the FCA redress scheme remain uncertain pending publication of the FCA’s policy statement and final scheme rules. Accordingly, the legal and regulatory outcomes and the nature, extent and timing of any remediation action, if required, remain uncertain. The ultimate financial impact on Barclays could differ from the recognised provision, which represents Barclays’ best estimate of the cost of redress based on the information currently available to Barclays.
 
7.
Retirement benefits
 
As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s IAS 19 net retirement benefit assets were £3.0bn (December 2024: £3.0bn). The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had an IAS 19 net surplus of £3.3bn (December 2024: £3.2bn).
 
The UKRF annual funding update as at 30 September 2024 showed a funding surplus of £1.75bn. The 30 September 2025 funding update is not available at the date of this report, as the triennial funding valuations for the UKRF are due to be completed in 2026 with an effective date of 30 September 2025.
 
Sectionalisation of the UKRF
 
Between 1 January 2025 and 30 June 2025, Barclays Bank PLC was the principal employer of the UKRF, with Barclays Bank UK PLC and Barclays Execution Services Limited as the participating employers.
 
From 1 July 2025, the UKRF was amended to become a sectionalised scheme to meet the requirements of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Banking Reform) (Pensions) Regulations 2015, creating two separate sections - the Barclays Bank Section and the Barclays UK Section. From 1 July 2025, Barclays Bank PLC became the principal employer of the Barclays Bank Section, with Barclays Execution Services Limited as a participating employer. From that date, Barclays Bank UK PLC participates only in the Barclays UK Section and is solely responsible for funding that section.
 
Sectionalisation did not change the balance sheet position of the UKRF from the Group's perspective, and employees’ benefits are unchanged.

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.
