Group Chief Executive Officer's Review

"Since the early days of the pandemic last year, our diversified business has demonstrated the resilience critical to ensuring Barclays' financial integrity. It gives us the capacity to step up for our customers, clients, colleagues and communities when they need our support the most, and deliver for our shareholders by staying profitable in every quarter.

Our diversification continued to drive a strong performance, delivering a Group RoTE of 14.7% in the first quarter of 2021. Group profit before tax increased to GBP2.4bn, contributing towards EPS of 9.9 pence.

As was the case throughout 2020, within Barclays International, performance in the CIB was strong this quarter, achieving a RoTE of 17.9% on income of GBP3.6bn, just 1% down from our Q1 income performance last year, which was a very strong comparative.

It also partially offset challenges in our consumer businesses that have been impacted by lower spend and activity levels as a result of the pandemic. Barclays UK generated income of GBP1.6bn in the quarter with lower impairment charges resulting in a RoTE of 12.0%. Strong demand in mortgages and record completions drove organic net asset growth of GBP3.6bn which was our best ever single quarter. Our CC&P business generated an income of GBP805m and delivered a RoTE of 16.5%.

As we enter the next phase of this pandemic, we remain resolute in our commitment to support the economic recovery. From our spend data, which captures UK economic activity across our cards and acquiring businesses, we are already seeing encouraging early signs of recovery in some sectors, including those hit hardest by the crisis.

While momentum in the consumer businesses, particularly card balances, will take time to build, Barclays secured significant new growth opportunities in Q1.

We negotiated a new, long-term agreement to issue Gap's co-branded and private label credit card programme in the US from May 2022.

Following the launch of our point-of-sale finance partnership with Amazon in Germany last year, we have agreed to extend our Amazon partnership to the UK, a significant expansion of our franchise in Europe's two largest consumer markets. Alongside existing partnerships including with Apple in the UK, it demonstrates the strength and potential of our consumer platform.

More broadly across payments, we expect to realise around GBP900m of income growth opportunity over the coming three years.

While evidence of recovery is encouraging, we have continued to take a cautious view of the impact of the pandemic on the business. We remain disciplined on costs, with a cost to income ratio of 61% this quarter. Our capital position remains well above target with a CET1 ratio of 14.6% and we completed our GBP700m buyback this month. We will give further guidance on distributions when appropriate.

With a strong balance sheet and diversified business, Barclays remains well-positioned to support the economy and deliver for our shareholders."

James E Staley, Group Chief Executive Officer

Group Finance Director's Review

Q121 performance continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For comparability purposes below, Q120 income in the consumer businesses was largely unaffected by the onset of the pandemic, while our Markets business in the CIB benefitted from increased client activity and volatility towards the end of Q120, resulting in a very strong comparative. Impairment charges were elevated in Q120, reflecting the outlook for the macroeconomic environment at the time.

Group performance

 
 --   RoTE was 14.7% (Q120: 5.1%) and EPS was 9.9p (Q120: 3.5p) 
 --   Profit before tax was GBP2,399m (Q120: GBP913m) and attributable 
       profit was GBP1,704m (Q120: GBP605m). The 8% depreciation of average 
       USD against GBP adversely impacted income and profits and positively 
       impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses 
 --   Pre-provision profits of GBP2,454m (Q120: GBP3,028m) was driven 
       by headwinds in Barclays UK and CC&P, but the Group continues to 
       benefit from its diversified business model, which included a strong 
       performance in CIB 
 --   Total income decreased to GBP5,900m (Q120: GBP6,283m). Barclays 
       UK income decreased 8%. Barclays International income decreased 
       5%, with CIB income down 1% and CC&P income down 22% 
 --   Credit impairment charges were GBP55m (Q120: GBP2,115m). The low 
       credit impairment charge was driven by reduced unsecured lending 
       balances, no material single name wholesale loan charges and limited 
       portfolio deterioration. The reduction in unsecured lending balances 
       and growth in secured balances resulted in a slight decrease in 
       the Group's loans and advances at amortised cost impairment coverage 
       ratio to 2.2% (December 2020: 2.4%) with underlying portfolio ratios 
       broadly stable. Management adjustments to models for impairment 
       have been maintained at GBP1.2bn (December 2020: GBP1.4bn), including 
       the economic uncertainty provisions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic 
       that were recognised over the course of 2020 
 --   Total operating expenses increased 10% to GBP3,578m, due to higher 
       variable compensation accruals that reflect improvement in returns 
       and continued investment in businesses, partially offset by efficiency 
       savings, resulting in a cost: income ratio of 61% (Q120: 52%). 
       COVID-19 related expenses continued in Q121 
 --   The effective tax rate was 20.7% (Q120: 7.8%). The effective tax 
       rate for Q121 was higher than Q120 which reflected the tax benefit 
       recognised for the re-measurement of UK deferred tax assets as 
       a result of the UK corporation tax rate being maintained at 19% 
 --   Total assets increased to GBP1,380bn (December 2020: GBP1,350bn) 
       primarily due to a GBP26bn increase in financial assets at fair 
       value due to an increase in secured lending, a GBP30bn increase 
       in cash deposits and settlement balances, partially offset by a 
       GBP32bn decrease in derivative assets driven by an increase in 
       major interest rate curves 
 --   Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share decreased to 267p (December 
       2020: 269p) primarily reflecting negative reserve movements, partially 
       offset by 9.9p of EPS 
 

Barclays UK

 
 --   Profit before tax increased 136% to GBP460m. RoTE was 12.0% (Q120: 
       6.9%) reflecting materially lower credit impairment charges, partially 
       offset by lower income 
 --   Total income decreased 8% to GBP1,576m. Net interest income reduced 
       9% to GBP1,281m with a net interest margin (NIM) of 2.54% (Q120: 
       2.91%). Net fee, commission and other income increased 1% to GBP295m 
      -   Personal Banking income decreased 5% to GBP923m, reflecting deposit 
           margin compression from lower interest rates and lower unsecured 
           lending balances, partially offset by balance growth in deposits 
           and mortgages 
      -   Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 28% to GBP315m as reduced 
           borrowing and spend levels by customers resulted in a lower level 
           of IEL balances 
      -   Business Banking income increased 13% to GBP338m due to lending 
           and deposit balance growth from continued support for small and 
           medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through GBP11.8bn of government 
           scheme lending to date, partially offset by deposit margin compression 
           from lower interest rates and lower transactional fee volumes 
 --   Credit impairment charges decreased to GBP77m (Q120: GBP481m) from 
       reduced unsecured portfolio exposures in part driven by lockdown 
       measures. As at 31 March 2021, 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK 
       cards were 1.6% (Q120: 1.8%) and 0.8% (Q120: 0.8%) respectively 
 --   Total operating expenses increased 1% to GBP1,039m reflecting higher 
       servicing and financial assistance costs, offset by efficiency 
       savings 
 --   Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost remained stable 
       at GBP205.7bn (December 2020: GBP205.4bn) predominantly from GBP3.6bn 
       of mortgage growth following continued strong demand, offset by 
       a GBP2.1bn decrease in the Education, Social Housing and Local 
       Authority (ESHLA) portfolio and GBP1.6bn lower unsecured lending 
       balances 
 --   Customer deposits at amortised cost increased 3% to GBP247.5bn 
       reflecting an increase of GBP6.3bn in Personal Banking, further 
       strengthening the liquidity position and contributing to a loan: 
       deposit ratio of 88% (December 2020: 89%) 
 --   RWAs decreased to GBP72.7bn (December 2020: GBP73.7bn) driven by 
       a reduction in unsecured lending and ESHLA, partially offset by 
       growth in mortgages 
 

Barclays International

 
 --   Profit before tax increased 140% to GBP1,971m with a RoTE of 17.7% 
       (Q120: 6.8%), reflecting a RoTE of 17.9% (Q120: 12.5%) in CIB and 
       16.5% (Q120: (23.5)%) in CC&P 
 --   The 8% depreciation of average USD against GBP adversely impacted 
       income and profits and positively impacted credit impairment charges 
       and total operating expenses 
 --   Total income decreased to GBP4,399m (Q120: GBP4,644m) 
                 -              CIB income decreased 1% to GBP3,594m 
                     -              Markets income decreased 12% to GBP2,136m as Equities reported 
                                     the best ever quarter on a comparable basis(1) , offset by 
                                     FICC. Equities income increased 65% to GBP932m driven by derivatives, 
                                     reflecting strong client activity, and financing through increased 
                                     client balances. Within FICC, income decreased 35% to GBP1,204m 
                                     as a strong performance in credit was more than offset by 
                                     a decline in macro due to tighter spreads and the non-recurrence 
                                     of Q120 client activity levels 
                     -              Banking had the best ever quarter on a comparable basis(1) 
                                     , with income up 35% to GBP859m driven by a strong performance 
                                     in equity capital markets reflecting an increase in the fee 
                                     pool(2) 
                     -              Within Corporate, Transaction banking income decreased 12% 
                                     to GBP393m as deposit balance growth was more than offset 
                                     by margin compression. Corporate lending income increased 
                                     by 86% to GBP206m driven by the non- recurrence of losses 
                                     on the mark-to-market of lending and related hedge positions 
                 -              CC&P income decreased 22% to GBP805m reflecting lower cards balances 
                                 and reduced payments activity 
 --              Credit impairment charges decreased to a GBP22m release (Q120: 
                  GBP1,609m charge) 
      -                         CIB credit impairment charge was a GBP43m release (Q120: GBP724m 
                                 charge) due to no material single name wholesale loan charges 
                                 and lower exposures 
      -                         CC&P credit impairment charges were GBP21m (Q120: GBP885m) reflecting 
                                 lower unsecured lending balances, particularly in US cards. As 
                                 at 31 March 2021, 30 and 90 day arrears in US cards were 2.1% 
                                 (Q120: 2.7%) and 1.2% (Q120: 1.5%) respectively 
 --   Total operating expenses increased 11% to GBP2,459m 
      -                         CIB total operating expenses increased 12% to GBP1,887m due to 
                                 higher variable compensation accruals that reflect improvement 
                                 in returns, partly offset by cost efficiencies and discipline 
                                 in the current environment 
      -                         CC&P total operating expenses increased 8% to GBP572m driven 
                                 by the impact of higher investment spend and customer remediation 
                                 costs 
 --              RWAs increased to GBP230.0bn (December 2020: GBP222.3bn) primarily 
                  due to increased client and trading activity within CIB, partially 
                  offset by lower CC&P balances 
 

Head Office

 
 --   Loss before tax was GBP32m (Q120: GBP104m) 
 --   Total income was an expense of GBP75m (Q120: GBP65m), which primarily 
       reflected hedge accounting, treasury items and funding costs on 
       legacy capital instruments 
 --   Total operating expenses increased to GBP80m (Q120: GBP16m) primarily 
       due to the non-recurrence of a provision release in Q120, related 
       to the previous sale of a Non-Core portfolio 
 --   Other net income was GBP123m (Q120: GBP2m) driven by a fair value 
       gain in Barclays' associate investment holding in the Business 
       Growth Fund (BGF)

Group capital and leverage

 
 --              The CET1 ratio decreased to 14.6% (December 2020: 15.1%) 
      -              CET1 capital decreased by GBP0.4bn to GBP45.9bn as profit before 
                      tax of GBP2.4bn was more than offset by the removal of temporary 
                      regulatory supporting measures introduced in 2020, the GBP0.7bn 
                      share buyback announced with FY20 results and decreases in other 
                      qualifying reserves. The additional value adjustments (PVA) deduction 
                      increased by GBP0.4bn reflecting the removal of increased diversification 
                      factors and IFRS 9 transitional relief decreased by GBP0.3bn 
                      primarily due to the relief on the pre-2020 impairment charge 
                      reducing from 70% to 50% in 2021. The deduction for dividends 
                      paid and foreseen increased by GBP1.0bn including the GBP0.7bn 
                      share buyback and a GBP0.1bn accrual towards FY21 dividends 
      -              RWAs increased by GBP7.2bn to GBP313.4bn primarily due to increased 
                      client and trading activity within CIB, partially offset by lower 
                      consumer lending 
 --              The average UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2020: 
                  5.0%). The average leverage exposure increased by GBP28bn to GBP1,175bn 
                  (December 2020: GBP1,147bn) largely driven by an increase in securities 
                  financing transactions (SFTs) 
 

Group funding and liquidity

 
 --              The liquidity pool was GBP290bn (December 2020: GBP266bn) and the 
                  liquidity coverage ratio remained significantly above the 100% 
                  regulatory requirement at 161% (December 2020: 162%), equivalent 
                  to a surplus of GBP107bn (December 2020: GBP99bn). The increase 
                  in the pool is driven by continued deposit growth, Term Funding 
                  Scheme with additional incentives for SMEs drawings and a seasonal 
                  increase in short-term wholesale funding, which were partly offset 
                  by a seasonal increase in business funding consumption 
 --              Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, 
                  was GBP157.8.bn (December 2020: GBP145.0bn). The Group issued GBP2.7bn 
                  equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities 
                  (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) during 
                  the year. The Group is well advanced in its MREL issuance plans 
                  relative to the estimated 1 January 2022 requirement 
 

Other matters

 
 --   In its Budget held in March 2021, the UK Government announced that 
       the UK rate of corporation tax will increase from 19% to 25% from 
       1 April 2023 and that it will undertake a review of the additional 
       8% banking surcharge during 2021. The Budget Report issued on 3 
       March 2021 outlines that "the government will set out how it intends 
       to ensure that the combined rate of tax on banks' profits does 
       not increase substantially from its current level". The Group's 
       effective tax rate for FY21 may include a tax benefit for the re-measurement 
       of UK deferred tax assets upon substantive enactment of the increase 
       in the rate of UK corporation tax which is expected later in 2021. 
       Any subsequent reduction in the banking surcharge arising from 
       the Government's review may result in a tax charge upon enactment 
       as UK deferred tax assets are again re-measured, the timing of 
       which is uncertain but is expected to occur in 2022 
 

Capital distributions

 
 --   Barclays understands the importance of delivering attractive total 
       cash returns to shareholders. Barclays is therefore committed to 
       maintaining an appropriate balance between total cash returns to 
       shareholders, investment in the business and maintaining a strong 
       capital position. Going forward, Barclays intends to pay a progressive 
       ordinary dividend, taking into account these objectives and the 
       earnings outlook of the Group. It is also the Board's intention 
       to continue to supplement the ordinary dividends with additional 
       cash returns, including share buybacks, to shareholders as and 
       when appropriate 
 --   For regulatory capital purposes, Barclays has accrued an ordinary 
       dividend in Q121 of 0.75p based on a 3p dividend for the full year. 
       This regulatory accrual should not be used as a forecast of future 
       capital distributions. The Board will assess the appropriate level 
       and form of capital distributions as the year progresses

The Group's combined product and equity structural hedge notional as at 31 March 2021 was GBP192bn, with an average duration of 2.5 to 3 years. Group net interest income includes gross structural hedge contributions of GBP0.3bn (Q120: GBP0.4bn) and net structural hedge contributions of GBP0.3bn (Q120: GBP0.2bn). Gross structural hedge contributions represent the absolute level of interest earned from the fixed receipts on the basket of swaps in the structural hedge, while the net structural hedge contributions represent the net interest earned on the difference between the structural hedge rate and prevailing floating rates .

Credit Risk

Loans and advances at amortised cost by stage

The table below p resents an analysis of loans and advances at amortised cost by gross exposure, impairment allowance, impairment charge and coverage ratio by stage allocation and business segment as at 31 March 2021. Also included are off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by gross exposure, impairment allowance and coverage ratio by stage allocation as at 31 March 2021.

Impairment allowance under IFRS 9 considers both the drawn and the undrawn counterparty exposure. For retail portfolios, the total impairment allowance is allocated to the drawn exposure to the extent that the allowance does not exceed the exposure, as expected credit loss (ECL) is not reported separately. Any excess is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision. For wholesale portfolios, the impairment allowance on the undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

Measurement uncertainty

During the latter part of Q121, macroeconomic indicators became more positive than at Q420, particularly in the UK with improved economic growth and lower unemployment consensus forecasts in response to the UK Budget announcement on 3 March 2021 and the progress of the COVID-19 vaccine roll out programme. In the US, new government stimulus was announced in March 2021, including a $1.9trn Rescue Plan, and a COVID-19 vaccine programme well underway. However, global economic uncertainty remains high as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and practical challenges remain in inoculation programmes.

In response to the changing economic environment, key baseline macroeconomic indicators were refreshed at Q121. However, because the macroeconomic outlook remains uncertain and has only recently shown improvement, the impact from these consensus updates has not been reflected in the Q121 ECL provision level. This has been based on the more conservative macroeconomic indicators of the Q420 ECL scenarios, rolled forward by one quarter, and updated to reflect changes in balances and individually assessed impaired names during the quarter. If these favourable macroeconomic indicators persist, an adjustment will be made to the provision level.

Sensitivity analysis has been completed to estimate the impact of applying the refreshed Q121 baseline to material portfolios. This high-level analysis indicated that, all other things being equal, this change in key macroeconomic variables would result in a reduction to the modelled ECL stock of cGBP0.5bn from the material portfolios, should positive macroeconomic indicators persist. The macroeconomic variables used in the sensitivity analysis are disclosed on the following page.

Management adjustments to models for impairment

The real economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may only become clear once support measures put in place by governments begin to fall away. Government support schemes are currently scheduled to run until cQ321 in the major jurisdictions in which Barclays operates. In addition to the above ECL model sensitivity for which no adjustment has been made, management adjustments to models for impairment were retained and amounted to GBP1,223m (Q420: GBP1,388m). These included economic uncertainty adjustments recognised at year end 2020 which addressed the temporary nature of ongoing government support, the uncertainty in relation to the timing of stress and the range of economic uncertainty.

The tables below show the primary consensus macroeconomic variables in the Q121 Baseline scenario and the probability weights applied to each rolled forward scenario.

Treasury and Capital Risk

C apital

The Group's Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 is 11.1% comprising a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.6% Pillar 2A requirement and a 0.0% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).

The Group's CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group has exposures. On 11 March 2020, the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) set the CCyB rate for UK exposures at 0% with immediate effect. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material. Overall, this results in a 0.0% CCyB for the Group.

The Group's Pillar 2A requirement as per the Prudential Regulation Authority's (PRA) Individual Capital Requirement is 4.7% of which at least 56.25% needs to be met with CET1 capital, equating to approximately 2.6% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review and has been set as a nominal capital amount. This is based on a point in time assessment and the requirement (when expressed as a proportion of RWAs) will change depending on the total RWAs at each reporting period.

Following the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, any references to CRR as amended by CRR II mean, unless otherwise specified, CRR as amended by CRR II, as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and subject to the temporary transitional powers (TTP) available to UK regulators to delay or phase-in on-shoring changes to UK regulatory requirements arising at the end of the transition period until 31 March 2022, as at the applicable reporting date. Throughout the TTP period, the Bank of England (BoE) and PRA are expected to review the UK legislation framework and any disclosures made by the Group will be subject to any resulting guidance.

On 12 February 2021, the PRA launched a consultation on certain items within the Basel standards that remain to be implemented in the UK as well as setting out proposed new PRA CRR rules. The proposals include reverting to the previous treatment of 100% CET1 capital deduction for qualifying software assets by the end of 2021, meaning the c.40bps benefit in the CET1 ratio is likely to be reversed in future periods.

 1   CET1, T1 and T2 capital, and RWAs are calculated applying the transitional 
      arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II. This includes IFRS 
      9 transitional arrangements and the grandfathering of CRR and CRR 
      II non-compliant capital instruments. 
 2   The fully loaded CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against 
      the conversion trigger in Barclays PLC AT1 securities, was 14.0%, 
      with GBP43.6bn of CET1 capital and GBP312.6bn of RWAs calculated 
      without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended 
      by CRR II. 
 3   The Group's CET1 ratio, as is relevant for assessing against the 
      conversion trigger in Barclays Bank PLC 7.625% Contingent Capital 
      Notes, was 14.6%. For this calculation CET1 capital and RWAs are 
      calculated applying the transitional arrangements under the CRR 
      as amended by CRR II, including the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements. 
      The benefit of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) October 2012 
      interpretation of the transitional provisions, relating to the 
      implementation of CRD IV, expired in December 2017.

CET1 capital decreased GBP0.4bn to GBP45.9bn (December 2020: GBP46.3bn).

GBP1.9bn of capital generated from profits were partially offset by GBP1.0bn dividends paid and foreseen including GBP0.7bn for the share buyback announced with FY20 results , GBP0.2bn of equity coupons paid and a GBP0.1bn accrual towards a FY21 dividend . Other significant movements in the period were:

 
 --              A GBP0.3bn reduction in the fair value through other comprehensive 
                  income reserve driven by movements in the valuation of the liquidity 
                  pool 
 --              A GBP0.5bn decrease in the currency translation reserves due to 
                  the depreciation of period end EUR and USD against GBP 
 --              A GBP0.4bn increase in the PVA deduction due to the removal of 
                  temporary regulatory supporting measures applied to certain additional 
                  valuation adjustments 
 --              A GBP0.4bn decrease in the goodwill and intangible deduction reflecting 
                  new qualifying software intangibles that are subject to risk weighting 
                  rather than deduction 
 --              A GBP0.3bn decrease in IFRS 9 transitional relief, after tax, primarily 
                  due to the amount of relief applied to the pre-2020 impairment 
                  charge reducing to 50% in 2021 from 70% in 2020

Overall RWAs increased GBP7.2bn to GBP313.4bn (December 2020: GBP306.2bn). Significant movements in the period were:

Credit risk RWAs increased GBP1.3bn:

 
 --              A GBP3.0bn increase in book size primarily due to increased CIB 
                  lending, growth in mortgages within Barclays UK partially offset 
                  by lower consumer lending and ESHLA 
 --              A GBP1.7bn decrease due to the depreciation of period end EUR and 
                  USD against GBP 
 

Market risk RWAs increased GBP5.1bn:

 
 --   A GBP5.1bn increase in book size primarily due to increased client 
       and trading activity 
 

Leverage ratio and exposures

The Group is subject to a leverage ratio requirement of 3.8% as at 31 March 2021. This comprises the 3.25% minimum requirement, a G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.53% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer of 0.0%. Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of T1 capital, 75% of the minimum requirement, equating to 2.4375%, needs to be met with CET1 capital. In addition, the G-SII ALRB must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.53% G-SII ALRB was GBP6.2bn.

The Group is 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. The Group is also required to disclose a UK leverage ratio based on capital and exposure on the last day of the quarter. Both approaches exclude qualifying claims on central banks from the leverage exposures and include the PRA's early adoption of CRR II settlement netting. The FPC intends to review the UK leverage framework in 2021.

            1              Fully loaded average UK leverage ratio was 4.7%, with GBP54.8bn 
                            of T1 capital and GBP1,173bn of leverage exposure. Fully loaded 
                            UK leverage ratio was 4.8%, with GBP54.7bn of T1 capital and GBP1,143bn 
                            of leverage exposure. Fully loaded UK leverage ratios are calculated 
                            without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended 
                            by CRR II.

            3              T1 capital is calculated in line with the PRA Handbook. 
 

The average UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2020: 5.0%). The average leverage exposure increased by GBP28bn to GBP1,175bn (December 2020: GBP1,147bn) largely driven by an increase in securities financing transactions (SFTs).

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.0% (December 2020: 5.3%). The UK leverage exposure increased by GBP54.5bn to GBP1,145bn (December 2020: GBP1,091bn) primarily driven by:

 
 --   A GBP25.5bn increase in SFTs; and 
 --   A GBP11.4bn increase in PFE on derivatives driven by increased 
       trading activity 
 

The Group also discloses a CRR leverage ratio(1) within its additional regulatory disclosures prepared in accordance with EBA guidelines on disclosure under Part Eight of the CRR (see Barclays PLC Pillar 3 Report Q1 2021, due to be published on 30 April 2021 and which will be available at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results ).

MREL

The Group is required to meet the higher of: (i) the requirements set by the BoE based on RWAs and the higher of average and UK leverage exposures; and (ii) the requirements in CRR as amended by CRR II based on RWAs and CRR leverage exposures. The MREL requirements are subject to phased implementation and will be fully implemented by 1 January 2022.

As at 31 March 2021, the Group's MREL requirement was to meet 7.0% of CRR leverage exposures. On 19 January 2021 the BoE published indicative MREL requirements that show the Group's highest requirement in 2022 will be 7.7% of CRR leverage exposure, based on 30 September 2020 exposures. The BoE is currently reviewing the MREL calibration and intends to make any policy changes by the end of 2021. Separately, the FPC intends to review the UK leverage framework in 2021 and this, along with any MREL policy changes, may result in a different MREL requirement from 1 January 2022 than that which is currently proposed. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the capital buffers, meaning that the buffers will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of UK-adopted international accounting standards (UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards). Following the UK's departure from the European Union (EU) at the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020, all EU endorsed IFRS became UK-adopted IFRS. On 6 January 2021, the UK endorsed the phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39 in respect of interest rate benchmark reform, which was also endorsed by the EU on 13 January 2021 and were early adopted in the Barclays PLC 2020 Annual Report. UK adopted IFRS and EU endorsed IFRS are currently the same.

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.

Returns

Return on average tangible equity is calculated as profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent as a proportion of average tangible equity, excluding non-controlling and other equity interests for businesses. Allocated tangible equity has been calculated as 13.5% (2020: 13.0%) of RWAs for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office average allocated tangible equity represents the difference between the Group's average tangible shareholders' equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.

Notes

The terms Barclays or Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the three months ended 31 March 2021 to the corresponding three months of 2020 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 March 2021 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2020 and 31 March 2020. The abbreviations 'GBPm' and 'GBPbn' represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations '$m', '$bn' and '$trn' represent millions, thousands of millions and thousands of billions of US Dollars respectively; and the abbreviations 'EURm' and 'EURbn' 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 that can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results .

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 April 2021, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, which contain an unmodified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

These results will be furnished on Form 6-K with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished with the SEC, a copy of the Form 6-K will be available from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov .

Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal road-shows 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 31 to 34 for further information and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and 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. These 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 members of the management of the Group (including, without limitation, during management presentations to financial analysts) 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, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets, estimates of capital expenditures, plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS impacts and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. The forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements may be affected by: changes in legislation; the development of standards and interpretations under IFRS, including evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; future levels of conduct provisions; the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities; the Group's ability along with government and other stakeholders to manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively; geopolitical risks; and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; direct and indirect impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; instability as a result of the UK's exit from the European Union (EU), the effects of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and globally; the risk of cyber-attacks, information or security breaches or technology failures on the Group's business or operations; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group's control. As a result, the Group's actual financial position, future results, capital distributions, capital, leverage or other regulatory ratios or other financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group's future financial condition and performance are identified in our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2020), which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov .

Subject to our 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.
