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 38 to 43 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. 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, income levels, costs, assets and liabilities, impairment charges, provisions, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including dividend policy and share buybacks), return on tangible equity, projected levels of growth in banking and financial markets, industry trends, any commitments and targets (including environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and targets), business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations 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, regulation 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 ESG reporting standards; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities; the Group's ability along with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively; environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group's control; the impact of competition; capital, leverage and other regulatory rules 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; 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; the direct and indirect consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; 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 any 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 reputation, business or operations; the Group's ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals 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. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group's future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC's filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2022), 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 delivered a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 15.0% and remains on track to deliver its 2023 targets, with all performance metrics in line with or ahead of guidance at Q123

 

C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, commented "This is a strong first quarter with Group income up 11% to £7.2bn and profit before tax up 16% to £2.6bn, generating a Group RoTE of 15.0% and earnings per share (EPS) of 11.3p.

Q123	£7.2bn	57%	52bps	£2.6bn	£1.8bn	15.0%	11.3p	163%	73%	301p	13.6%

 

Q123 Performance highlights:

 

·	Group attributable profit was £1.8bn and RoTE was 15.0%, with all operating divisions delivering double-digit returns
·	Group income was £7.2bn, up 11% year-on-year, with diverse sources of growth across the Group as well as the benefit from USD appreciation:
	-	Barclays UK income increased 19% primarily driven by net interest income growth from higher rates and continued structural hedge income momentum, delivering a net interest margin (NIM) of 3.18%
	-	Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) income increased 1% to £4.0bn, representing a record Q1 income performance1. Drivers included a strong performance in Transaction banking and Global Markets, against a record prior year comparative, with lower Investment Banking income due to a reduced industry fee pool2
	-	Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) income increased 47% from growth in US cards balances, including the Gap portfolio acquisition3, and growth in client assets and liabilities in the Private Bank, as well as the higher rate environment
·	Group operating expenses were £4.1bn, in line with prior year, including the non-repeat of certain litigation and conduct items. Group operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges increased to £4.1bn (Q122: £3.6bn) reflecting the impact of business growth, inflation and USD appreciation. The Group delivered positive statutory cost: income jaws and a cost: income ratio of 57%
·	Credit impairment charges were £0.5bn, with a loan loss rate (LLR) of 52bps, within the guided range of 50-60bps, reflecting higher US cards balances and the continuing normalisation anticipated in US cards delinquencies. Coverage ratios remain strong
·	Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.6% (December 2022: 13.9%) reflected the expected reduction of an aggregate c.40bps of capital impacts in Q123 including the £0.5bn buyback announced at FY22, and seasonally higher Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs) in the Global Markets business, which supported the strong Q1 income performance
·	Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share of 301p, increased 6p since December 2022
·	Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of 163% (December 2022: 165%) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) of 139% (December 2022: 137%), well above regulatory minimum requirements
·	Loan: deposit ratio was maintained at 73% (December 2022: 73%). The Group maintains a diverse and stable deposit franchise including across wholesale and consumer as well as across different geographies

·	Costs: targeting a cost: income ratio percentage in the low 60s in 2023, investing for growth whilst progressing towards the Group's medium-term target of below 60%
·	Impairment: expect an LLR of 50-60bps in 2023, based on the current macroeconomic outlook
·	Capital: expect to operate within the CET1 ratio medium-term target range of 13-14%

Group Finance Director's Review

 

Group performance

 

·	Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £2,598m (Q122: £2,234m), RoTE of 15.0% (Q122: 11.5%) and EPS of 11.3p (Q122: 8.4p)
·	The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies including a significant presence in the US. The appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
·	Group income increased 11% to £7,237m primarily from the higher interest rate environment and continued structural hedge income momentum benefiting Barclays UK, Transaction banking and the Private Bank, the benefit of higher balances in US cards, and growth in client assets and liabilities in the Private Bank
·	Group operating expenses were stable at £4,110m (Q122: £4,111m)
	-	Group operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges increased to £4,111m (Q122: £3,588m) reflecting the impact of business growth and inflation
	-	The prior year litigation and conduct charges of £523m included charges relating to the Over-issuance of Securities in the US (Over-issuance of Securities1) and customer remediation costs relating to a legacy loan portfolio
·	Credit impairment charges were £524m (Q122: £141m) reflecting higher US cards balances, including the Gap portfolio acquisition in Q222, and the continuing normalisation anticipated in US cards delinquencies. Total coverage ratio remains strong at 1.4% (December 2022: 1.4%)
·	The effective tax rate (ETR) was 21.6% (Q122: 27.5%). The prior year included the tax charge recognised for the re-measurement of the Group's UK deferred tax assets as a result of the UK banking surcharge rate being reduced from 8% to 3%
·	Attributable profit was £1,783m (Q122: £1,404m)
·	Total assets increased to £1,539.1bn (December 2022: £1,513.7bn) driven by increased trading and client activity within Global Markets and the acquisition of Kensington Mortgage Company (KMC), partially offset by strengthening of GBP against USD since December 2022. The Group liquidity pool was further strengthened by growth in deposits and wholesale funding
·	TNAV per share increased to 301p (December 2022: 295p) as EPS of 11.3p and other reserve movements were partially offset by the 2022 full year dividend paid on 31 March 2023

 

Barclays UK

 

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 20.0% supported by higher interest rates and the continued investment in our transformation into a next-generation, digitised consumer bank.
·	Profit before tax increased 27% to £754m with a RoTE of 20.0% (Q122: 15.6%)
·	Total income increased 19% to £1,961m. Net interest income increased 21% to £1,618m with a NIM of 3.18% (Q122: 2.62%), continuing to build as higher interest rates and associated structural hedge benefit outweighed mortgage margin pressure. Net fee, commission and other income increased 11% to £343m partially driven by transactional income in Business Banking and UK cards
	-	Personal Banking income increased 23% to £1,253m, driven by higher interest rates, partially offset by mortgage margin compression
	-	Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 11% to £247m as higher customer spend volumes were more than offset by lower interest earning lending balances following repayments and ongoing prudent risk management
	-	Business Banking income increased 31% to £461m driven by higher interest rates alongside improved transaction based revenues, partially offset by lower government scheme lending as repayments continue
·	Total operating expenses increased 9% to £1,094m from the impact of inflation with ongoing efficiency savings reinvested in digitisation to support further improvements to the cost: income ratio over time
·	Credit impairment charges were £113m (Q122: £48m), reflecting limited observed deterioration. UK cards 30 and 90 day arrears remained below pre-pandemic levels at 0.9% (Q122: 1.0%) and 0.2% (Q122: 0.3%) respectively2. The UK cards total coverage ratio was 7.7% (December 2022: 7.6%)
·	Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased 2% to £208.2bn primarily reflecting the acquisition of KMC
·	Customer deposits at amortised cost decreased 1% to £254.3bn. Increases in savings product balances were more than offset by reduced current account and business banking deposits, reflecting broader market trends. The loan: deposit ratio increased to 90% (December 2022: 87%)
·	RWAs increased to £74.6bn (December 2022: £73.1bn) including £0.8bn related to the acquisition of KMC

2	As at 31 December 2019, UK cards 30 and 90 days arrears were 1.7% and 0.8% respectively.

 

Barclays International

 

Barclays International delivered a RoTE of 14.5%. CIB continued to support clients through a period of market volatility, with performance reflecting the benefits of income diversification and continued investment in sustainable growth. CC&P performance reflects continued investment in the business resulting in balance growth and increased income, partially offset by higher impairment charges.
·	Profit before tax increased 13% to £1,928m with a RoTE of 14.5% (Q122: 14.8%), reflecting a RoTE of 15.2% (Q122: 17.1%) in CIB and 10.5% (Q122: (1.5)%) in CC&P
·	Barclays International has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies including a significant presence in the US. The appreciation of average USD against GBP positively impacted income and profits, and adversely impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses
·	Total income increased to £5,282m (Q122: £4,824m)
	-	CIB income of £3,976m (Q122: £3,938m) represented the best Q1 on a comparable basis1
		-	Global Markets income of £2,492m decreased 8% against a record prior year comparative. FICC income increased 9% to £1,788m, driven by a strong performance in credit. Equities income decreased 33% to £704m driven by a decline in derivatives income reflecting less volatile equity market conditions relative to prior year
		-	Investment Banking fees decreased 7% to £603m due to the reduced fee pool2, partially offset by a strong performance in advisory representing the best Q1 performance1
		-	Within Corporate, Transaction banking income increased 68% to £786m representing the best Q1 performance1, driven by improved margins, in the higher rate environment, in deposits. Corporate lending income decreased 24% to £95m mainly driven by costs of higher credit protection
	-	CC&P income increased 47% to £1,306m
		-	International Cards and Consumer Bank income increased 67% to £900m reflecting higher cards balances and improved margins, including the Gap portfolio acquisition in Q222
		-	Private Bank income increased 21% to £258m, reflecting client balance growth and improved margins
		-	Payments income increased 10% to £148m driven by merchant acquiring turnover growth
·	Total operating expenses decreased 2% to £2,953m and increased 18% to £2,956m excluding litigation and conduct, reflecting continued investment in the business
	-	CIB total operating expenses decreased 2% to £2,199m. Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges increased 15% to £2,202m driven by continued investment in talent and technology, and the impact of appreciation of average USD and inflation
	-	CC&P total operating expenses decreased 3% to £754m. Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct charges increased 29% to £754m, driven by higher investment spend to support growth, mainly in marketing and partnership costs, including the Gap portfolio acquisition, and the impact of appreciation of average USD and inflation
·	Credit impairment charges were £404m (Q122: £101m) reflecting higher balances and the continuing normalisation anticipated in US cards delinquencies
	-	CIB credit impairment charges of £33m (Q122: £33m net release) were driven by single name charges partially offset by the benefit of credit protection
	-	CC&P credit impairment charges increased to £371m (Q122: £134m), reflecting higher US cards balances, including the Gap portfolio, and the continuing normalisation anticipated in delinquencies. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears were 2.3% (Q122: 1.6%) and 1.2% (Q122: 0.8%) respectively. The US cards total coverage ratio was 8.9% (December 2022: 8.1%)
·	RWAs increased to £255.1bn (December 2022: £254.8bn) mainly supporting increased client and trading activity within Global Markets, partially offset by strengthening of GBP against USD since December 2022

2	Data source: Dealogic for the period covering 1 January to 31 March 2023.

 

Capital distributions

 

·	Barclays paid the 2022 full year dividend of 5.0p on 31 March 2023 and completed the £0.5bn share buyback programme announced at FY22 results on 14 April 2023
·	Barclays is committed to maintaining a balance between a strong capital position, delivering total cash returns to shareholders and investment in the business. Barclays pays a progressive ordinary dividend, taking into account these objectives and the earnings outlook of the Group. The Board will also continue to supplement the ordinary dividend as appropriate, including with share buybacks

 

Group capital and leverage

 

·	The CET1 ratio decreased by c.30bps to 13.6% (December 2022: 13.9%) as RWAs increased by £1.9bn to £338.4bn and CET1 capital decreased by £0.9bn to £46.0bn:
	-	c.50bps increase from attributable profit generated in the quarter
	-	c.40bps aggregate decrease from expected capital impacts in Q123, including the £0.5bn share buyback announced at FY22 results, the impact of regulatory change on 1 January 2023 relating to IFRS 9 transitional relief, and the impact of the KMC acquisition
	-	c.20bps decrease as a result of a £5.2bn increase in RWAs primarily driven by increased client and trading activity within Global Markets
	-	c.20bps decrease primarily due to increased regulatory capital deductions and an accrual for the FY23 dividend
	-	A £4.0bn decrease in RWAs as a result of foreign exchange movements was broadly offset by a £0.5bn decrease in the currency translation reserve
·	The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% (December 2022: 5.3%) primarily due to a £38.9bn increase in leverage exposure and a £0.4bn decrease in Tier 1 capital. The UK leverage exposure increased to £1,168.9bn (December 2022: £1,130.0bn) largely due to an increase in securities financing transactions (SFT) client and trading activity within Global Markets

 

Group funding and liquidity

 

·	The liquidity and funding position remains robust and strengthened further in Q123. The liquidity pool increased to £333.0bn (December 2022: £318.0bn) driven by growth in deposits and increased wholesale funding. The composition of the liquidity pool is conservative, with 82% held in cash and deposits with central banks and the remainder primarily held in high quality government bonds, materially held at fair value or hedged
·	The strength of the funding and liquidity position is supported by a diverse and stable deposit franchise. Total deposits increased to £555.7bn (December 2022: £545.8bn)
·	The liquidity coverage ratio remained significantly above the 100% regulatory requirement at 163% (December 2022: 165%), equivalent to a surplus of £122.0bn (December 2022: £116.4bn)
·	Net Stable Funding Ratio (average of last four quarter ends) was 139% (December 2022: 137%), which represents a £166.7bn (December 2022: £155.6bn) surplus above 100% regulatory requirement
·	Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £192.2bn (December 2022: £184.0bn)
·	The Group issued £2.8bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in Q123. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 32.7%, which is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 29% plus a confidential, institution specific, Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) buffer

 

Other matters

 

·

KMC acquisition: further to the announcement in Q222, on 1 March 2023 Barclays completed the acquisition of UK specialist mortgage lender KMC, including a portfolio of mortgages totalling £2.2bn with an RWA impact of £0.8bn. The transaction broadens Barclays' existing mortgage product range by adding a leading UK specialist residential mortgage lender with an established track record in the UK market, further enhancing its product capabilities consistent with Barclays' strategic priority to deliver next-generation, digitised consumer financial services

The Barclays UK and Barclays International NIM has increased 100bps from 3.06% in Q122 to 4.06% in Q123, driven by the higher interest rate environment and continued structural hedge income momentum across the Group, higher balances in CC&P including the Gap portfolio acquisition, partially offset by Mortgage margin compression and lower interest-earning lending in UK Cards.

 

The Group's combined product and equity structural hedge notional amount as at 31 March 2023 was £260bn (31 March 2022: £238bn), with an average duration of close to 2.5 years (2022: average duration close to 3 years). Gross structural hedge contributions of £773m (Q122: £378m) and net structural hedge contributions of £(1,709)m (Q122: £141m) are included in Group net interest income. Gross structural hedge contributions represent the absolute level of interest earned from the fixed receipts on 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.

Loans and advances at amortised cost by stage

 

The table below presents a stage allocation and business segment analysis of loans and advances at amortised cost by gross exposure, impairment allowance, impairment charge and coverage ratio as at 31 March 2023. Also included are stage allocation of off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by gross exposure, impairment allowance and coverage as at 31 March 2023.

 

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.

Measurement uncertainty

 

The Q123 ECL provision has been based on macroeconomic indicators used in the Q422 ECL scenario, rolled forward by one quarter, and updated to reflect changes in balances, risk parameters and individually assessed impaired names during the quarter. Management has applied economic uncertainty and other adjustments to modelled ECL outputs.

 

Key baseline macroeconomic indicators have been tracked against consensus updates to March 2023. Relative to Q422, these latest updates reflect slight improvements in certain key macroeconomic variables, along with deterioration in UK medium-term unemployment and HPI. When compared against the Q422 scenario, the current consensus remains materially in line. Hence these updates have not been reflected in the Q123 ECL modelled provision level.

 

In addition, coverage levels have been assessed in light of the potential impact of elevated levels of inflation on customer affordability and expert judgements updated accordingly with the resulting adjustments included within total post model adjustments of £0.3bn (31 December 2022: £0.3bn).

 

The following tables show the key macroeconomic variables used in the five scenarios (5 year annual paths) and the probability weights applied to each scenario.

Treasury and Capital Risk

 

Regulatory minimum requirements

 

Capital

 

The Group's Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 is 11.4% 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 2.4% Pillar 2A requirement and a 0.5% 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 13 December 2021, the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) announced the re-introduction of a CCyB rate of 1% for UK exposures with effect from 13 December 2022. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material. Overall, this results in a 0.5% CCyB for the Group. On 5 July 2022, the FPC announced that the UK CCyB rate will be increased from 1% to 2% with effect from 5 July 2023.

 

The Group's Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA's Individual Capital Requirement is 4.3% of which at least 56.25% needs to be met with CET1 capital, equating to 2.4% 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 headroom above requirements which includes a confidential institution-specific PRA buffer. The Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements including the PRA buffer.

 

Leverage

 

The Group is subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.0%. 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 (CCLB) of 0.2%. Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of Tier 1 (T1) capital, 75% of the minimum requirement, equating to 2.4%, needs to be met with CET1 capital. In addition, the G-SII ALRB and CCLB must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.53% G-SII ALRB was £6.1bn and against the 0.2% CCLB was £2.3bn.

 

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

 

The Group is required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.3% Pillar 2A equating to 24.5% of RWAs; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. In addition, the higher of regulatory capital and leverage buffers apply. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the buffers, meaning that the buffers, including the above mentioned confidential institution-specific PRA buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

 

In the disclosures that follow, references to CRR, as amended by CRR II, mean the capital regulatory requirements, as they form part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended.

1	Capital and leverage measures are calculated applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II.
2	Fully loaded average UK leverage ratio was 4.7%, with £59.2bn of T1 capital and £1,251.0bn of leverage exposure. Fully loaded UK leverage ratio was 5.1%, with £59.5bn of T1 capital and £1,168.7bn of leverage exposure. Fully loaded UK leverage ratios are calculated without applying the transitional arrangements of the CRR as amended by CRR II.

 

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 5.1% (December 2022: 5.3%) primarily due to a £38.9bn increase in the leverage exposure and a £0.4bn decrease in Tier 1 capital. The UK leverage exposure increased to £1,168.9bn (December 2022: £1,130.0bn) largely due to an increase in SFT client and trading activity within Global Markets.

 

The average UK leverage ratio remained at 4.8% (December 2022: 4.8%) primarily due to a decrease in the average T1 capital offset by a decrease in the average leverage exposure of £29.7bn to £1,251.3bn, largely due to a reduction in derivatives as well as lower daily average SFT activity in the quarter, compared to Q4 2022.

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.

The Group's management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures excluding notable items, included in the table above, provide valuable information to enable users of the financial statements to assess the performance of the Group. The notable items are separately identified within the Group's results disclosures which, when excluded from Barclays' statutory financials, provide an underlying profit and loss performance of the Group and enables consistent comparison of performance from one period to another.

 

These non-IFRS performance measures excluding notable items are included as a reference point only and are not incorporated within any of the key financial metrics used in our Group Targets, which are measured on a statutory basis.
