Notes

The terms Barclays and Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares 
the six months ended 30 June 2026 to the corresponding six months of 2025 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 June 2026 with comparatives 
relating to 31 December 2025 and 30 June 2025. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling 
respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; and the abbreviations ‘€m’ and 
‘€bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.
There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing 
adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.
Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) are explained in the results glossary, which can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations.
The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 27 July 2026, does not comprise statutory accounts within 
the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, which contain an unmodified 
audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which does not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) 
have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.
Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal roadshows and other ad hoc meetings. 
Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these 
results and other matters relating to the Group.
Non-IFRS performance measures
Barclays’ management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of 
the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses’ performance between financial 
periods and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence 
or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and 
performance is monitored by Barclays’ management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS 
measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 88 to 91.

Key non-IFRS measures included in this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures, are:
– Average allocated equity represents the average shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average 
equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 89 to 90;
Average tangible equity refers to:
– Average allocated tangible equity (for businesses) is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end allocated tangible equity and 
the current month’s period end allocated tangible equity. The average allocated tangible equity for the period is the average of the monthly 
averages within that period. Period end allocated tangible equity is calculated as 13.5% (2025: 13.5%) of RWAs for each business, adjusted for 
capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Barclays Group uses for capital planning purposes. 
Head Office allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Barclays Group’s tangible shareholders’ equity and the amounts 
allocated to businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 89 to 90;
– Average tangible shareholders’ equity (for Barclays Group) is calculated as the average of the previous month’s period end tangible shareholders' 
equity and the current month’s period end tangible shareholders' equity. The average tangible shareholders’ equity for the period is the average of 
the monthly averages within that period. The comparable IFRS measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 89 to 90;
– Group net interest income (NII) excluding Barclays Investment Bank (IB) and Head Office represents Group NII excluding IB NII and Head Office NII. 
The comparable IFRS measure is Group NII. A reconciliation is provided on page 90;
– Group operating costs represents group operating expenses excluding UK regulatory levies and litigation and conduct charges. The comparable 
IFRS measure is total operating expenses. A reconciliation is provided on page 90;
– Return on average allocated equity represents the return on average shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS 
measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 91;
Return on tangible equity refers to:
– Return on average allocated tangible equity (for businesses) is calculated as annualised Group attributable profit, as a proportion of average 
shareholders’ tangible equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 88;
– Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity (for Barclays Group) is calculated as the annualised profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity 
holders of the parent, as a proportion of average shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments adjusted for 
the deduction of intangible assets and goodwill. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 89;
– Tangible net asset value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests and other equity instruments, 
less goodwill and intangible assets, by the number of issued ordinary shares. The comparable IFRS measure is net asset value per share. A 
reconciliation is provided on page 91.

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.

the forward-looking non-IFRS measure “Group NII excluding IB and Head Office” (target) to an equivalent IFRS measure is not available without 
unreasonable efforts.

Group Finance Director's Review

H126 Group performance

•Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £6,066m (H125: £5,203m), RoE of 12.9% (H125: 11.4%), 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 

•NAV per share increased to 489p (December 2025: 469p) and 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 
•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

Group Finance Director's Review

Group funding and liquidity (continued)
•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 RoE of 15.1% (H125: 13.9%) and 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

UKCB delivered a RoE of 20.6% (H125: 16.8%) and a RoTE of 20.6% (H125: 16.8%), reflecting increased income from 
higher average deposit and lending balances, and positive operating jaws.
Income statement - H126 compared to H125
•Profit before tax increased 30% to £566m
•Total income increased 8% to £1,088m, NII increased 15% to £807m, driven by higher average deposit and lending 
balances, and structural hedge income benefit. Net fee, commission and other income decreased 7% to £281m driven by 
lower liquidity pool income
•Total operating expenses decreased 6% to £503m, reflecting the non-repeat of prior year litigation and conduct 
charges. Operating costs increased 3% to £488m, reflecting higher investment spend to support business growth 
strategy, with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds
•Credit impairment charges were £19m (H125: £31m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance and limited single 
name charges
Balance sheet - 30 June 2026 compared to 31 December 2025
•Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased to £31.3bn (December 2025: £30.0bn), reflecting the 
strategic focus to grow lending 
•Deposits at amortised cost increased to £89.1bn (December 2025: £88.7bn), driven by an inflow of balances from new 
and existing clients
•RWAs were stable at £26.6bn (December 2025: £26.5bn)
