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 70 to 79 for definitions and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

Forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by directors, officers and employees of the Group (including during management presentations) in connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group’s future financial position, business strategy, income levels, costs, assets and liabilities, impairment charges, provisions, capital leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including policy on dividends and share buybacks), return on tangible equity, projected levels of growth in banking and financial markets, industry trends, any commitments and targets (including sustainability-related commitments and targets), plans and objectives for future operations, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and other statements that are not historical or current facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: changes in legislation, regulations, governmental and regulatory policies, expectations and actions, voluntary codes of practices and the interpretation thereof, changes in IFRS and other accounting standards, including practices with regard to the interpretation and application thereof and emerging and developing sustainability reporting standards (including emissions accounting methodologies); changes in tax laws and practice; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; the Group’s ability along with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively or navigate inconsistencies and conflicts in the manner in which climate policy is implemented in the regions where the Group operates, including as a result of the adoption of rules and regulations taking a different or opposing position on sustainability matters, or other forms of governmental and regulatory action against sustainability policies; environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group’s control; financial crime; the impact of competition in the banking and financial services industry; capital, liquidity, leverage and other regulatory rules and requirements applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions, including inflation; volatility in credit and capital markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; reforms to benchmark interest rates and indices; higher or lower asset valuations; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by it; changes in counterparty risk; changes in consumer behaviour; changes in trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs or other protectionist measures; the direct and indirect consequences of the conflicts in 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.

 

Performance Highlights

 

Barclays delivered a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 11.7% in Q326, announced a £500m share buyback, and is on track to deliver its 2026 and 2028 targets

 

C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, commented

“I am pleased with the ongoing momentum of Barclays' operational and financial performance, with RoTE of 11.7% in Q326 and 13.8% year-to-date. Income of £7.4bn is up 3% from the same quarter last year. Our cost: income ratio has improved to 62% from 63%, profit before tax grew by 12% to £2.3bn, and our earnings per share (EPS) has increased 18%. With one quarter to go before the end of our original three-year plan, we have either achieved or are on track to achieve all of our 2026 Group targets. We are confident in and committed to the 2028 targets that we laid out earlier in the year. In Q326 we drove 7% year-on-year loan growth in our highest returning UK businesses1, with particular strength in UK Corporate Bank, up 14% year-on-year. The Investment Bank delivered strong Equities performance, offsetting a challenging environment for FICC.  Our strong organic capital generation and common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14.2% means that we are in a position to announce a new £500m share buyback tranche today, bringing year-to-date distributions to £2.8bn, up 46% year-on-year.”

Group Finance Director’s Review

 

Q326 YTD Group performance

 

Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £8,388m (Q325 YTD: £7,280m), RoTE of 13.8% (Q325 YTD: 12.3%) and EPS of 43.0p (Q325 YTD: 35.1p)

The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 2% 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 8% to £23,866m, as continued structural hedge momentum, higher income in Global Markets and Investment Banking fees and the c.£225m gain from the sale of the American Airlines portfolio (AA portfolio), were partially offset by retail deposits dynamics and net losses on fair value lending and cost of hedging in the IB

Group total operating expenses increased to £13,625m (Q325 YTD: £13,087m)

 

-

Group operating costs increased 6% to £13,438m, reflecting business growth (including higher performance costs reflecting higher income), inflation, and further investment spend (including the Best Egg acquisition and higher SCAs), partially offset by c.£550m of cost efficiency savings and foreign exchange movements

 

-

Litigation and conduct charges of £92m (Q325 YTD: £342m) primarily reflected a £105m increase in the provision for the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) motor finance redress scheme in Q126. Q325 YTD included a £235m charge for motor finance redress

Credit impairment charges increased to £1,897m (Q325 YTD: £1,744m), primarily driven by higher single name charges year-on-year in IB. Total coverage ratio remained stable at 1.2% (December 2025: 1.2%)

The effective tax rate (ETR) was 21.4% (Q325 YTD: 21.1%)

Attributable profit was £5,837m (Q325 YTD: £4,980m)

Total assets increased to £1,737.6bn (December 2025: £1,544.2bn) driven by higher trading activity in Global Markets, higher lending across the Group, and growth in the liquidity pool

Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share was broadly stable at 410p (December 2025: 409p) as EPS of 43.0p was partially offset by a 24p reduction from the cash flow hedge reserve and a 15p net reduction from the impact of share buybacks and dividends paid during Q326 YTD

 

Group capital and leverage

 

The CET1 ratio remained broadly stable at 14.2% (December 2025: 14.3%). Taking into account the impact of the £500m share buyback announced today, the CET1 ratio as of 30 September 2026 would be reduced to 14.0%

Excluding the marginal increase in the CET1 ratio from the Q226 USCB sale of the AA portfolio and acquisition of Best Egg, other significant movements were:

 

-

150bps increase from attributable profit

 

-

108bps decrease driven by shareholder distributions including the now completed £1.5bn total share buybacks announced with FY25 and Q126 results, the ongoing £1.0bn share buyback announced with Q226 results, and the accrual for the FY26 dividend 

 

-

58bps decrease due to a £14.9bn increase in RWAs, excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, primarily driven by lending growth in UK businesses and higher activity in IB

 

-

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%) primarily driven by a £96.7bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,344.0bn (December 2025: £1,247.3bn), partially offset by a £1.8bn increase in Tier 1 capital. The increase in leverage exposure was driven by higher trading activity in Global Markets and increased lending across the Group

 

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 £372.2bn, an increase of £34.3bn from December 2025. The increase in the liquidity pool was driven by deposit growth across businesses and increased wholesale funding

The average1 liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 157.0% (December 2025: 170.0%), equivalent to a surplus of £118.4bn (December 2025: £131.2bn)

Total deposits increased to £599.3bn (December 2025: £585.6bn), primarily driven by growth in the International Corporate Bank (ICB)

The average2 Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 135.8% (December 2025: 135.2%), which represents a £173.5bn surplus (December 2025: £166.3bn) above the 100% regulatory requirement

Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £229.5bn (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 35.2%, 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 Q126, 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 holds a Motor Finance provision of £430m as at Q326 (H126: £430m). In Q326, 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 to be heard by the Upper Tribunal in Q127. These challenges will delay and may otherwise affect the implementation of the redress scheme although the FCA has indicated a willingness to consider how, despite such challenges, firms may be able to pay redress in line with its proposed scheme to certain cohorts of eligible customers in advance of the Upper Tribunal hearing. Barclays is considering this option, which would be within the scope of its existing provision estimate. Given the legal challenges, the legal and regulatory outcomes and the nature, extent and timing of any remediation action, 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.£0.6bn1, comprising         c.£0.5bn goodwill and intangibles, and c.£0.1bn of net financial assets. Best Egg is a leading US direct-to-consumer personal loan origination platform focused on prime borrowers

 

GoHenry acquisition: On 1 October 2026, Barclays Bank UK PLC completed the acquisition of GoHenry, a money management platform for children and young people in the UK. 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, 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

 

UK retail banking division, trusted by over 20 million customers. Includes Business Banking, serving small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with less than £6.5m in annual revenue. Key business updates include:

Completed the acquisition of GoHenry on 1 October 2026, extending our ability to support children, young people and families through money management and financial education services

Launched the new Barclays Mobile Banking app in Q326, providing a more personalised digital banking experience and supporting customers across a broad range of banking needs

 

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 20.4% (Q325 YTD: 19.6%) supported by stability of deposits delivering robust income, and underpinned by strong asset quality.

 

Income statement - Q326 YTD compared to Q325 YTD

Profit before tax increased 7% to £2,722m

Total income increased 7% to £6,866m. NII increased 7% to £6,059m, as higher structural hedge income and lending growth was partially offset by retail deposit dynamics and mortgage margin compression. Net fee, commission and other income remained stable at £807m

Total operating expenses increased 4% to £3,683m, driven by £158m SCAs taken year-to-date and inflation. Ongoing efficiency savings continue to be reinvested, to drive sustainable improvement to the cost: income ratio

Credit impairment charges were £461m (Q325 YTD: £339m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance. Total charges are higher than those in Q325 YTD, 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% (Q325: 0.7%) and 0.3% (Q325: 0.2%) respectively. The Retail credit cards total coverage ratio was 4.3% (December 2025: 4.3%)

 

Balance sheet - 30 September 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased £8.8bn to £225.3bn, primarily driven by growth in mortgages, partially offset by the impact of securitisations

Customer deposits at amortised cost increased by £1.5bn to £246.1bn, driven by an increase in Retail Banking deposits. The customer loan: deposit ratio1 increased to 92% (December 2025: 89%)

RWAs increased to £90.6bn (December 2025: £85.8bn), primarily due to growth in mortgages, partially offset by the securitisation of credit risk assets

Barclays UK Corporate Bank

 

UKCB offers corporate lending and transaction banking services to clients with annual revenue greater than £6.5m through to FTSE 350 companies. Trusted banking partner to approximately 13,000 clients1 with an average client relationship of 19 years1. Key business updates include:

Completed the roll out of iPortal to all clients, providing easier access to Barclays' banking services through a single digital platform. Adoption reached c.45%, and is expected to reach 100% by year-end, supporting broader use of Barclays' lending, transaction banking and risk management services

 

UKCB delivered a RoTE of 21.6% (Q325 YTD: 18.8%), reflecting increased income from higher average deposit and lending balances, and positive operating jaws.

 

Income statement - Q326 YTD compared to Q325 YTD

Profit before tax increased 22% to £879m

Total income increased 9% to £1,661m, NII increased 15% to £1,244m, driven by structural hedge income benefit, and higher average deposit and lending balances. Net fee, commission and other income decreased 5% to £417m, driven by lower liquidity pool income

Total operating expenses decreased 1% to £761m, reflecting the non-repeat of prior year litigation and conduct charges, partially offset by higher investment spend to support business growth and efficiency strategy, with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds

Credit impairment charges were £21m (Q325 YTD: £36m), reflecting stable underlying credit performance

 

Balance sheet - 30 September 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased to £33.0bn (December 2025: £30.0bn), reflecting continued execution of our lending growth strategy

Deposits at amortised cost decreased to £87.2bn (December 2025: £88.7bn), largely reflecting corporate liquidity environment

RWAs increased to £27.5bn (December 2025: £26.5bn), reflecting higher client lending limits and growth in lending balances

Launched Planning and Advice service and removed Direct Investing customer fees in Q226, reflecting continued focus on enhancing client offering and supporting long-term growth

 

PBWM delivered a RoTE of 25.4% (Q325 YTD: 30.9%), reflecting higher costs from ongoing investment to support future growth and efficiency strategy, and a higher impairment charge.

 

Income statement - Q326 YTD compared to Q325 YTD

Profit before tax decreased 19% to £264m

Total income increased 5% to £1,082m, driven by higher NII from growth in deposit balances, partially offset by deposit mix, and higher net fee, commission and other income from growth in assets under management and client transactional activity

Total operating expenses increased 13% to £810m, reflecting ongoing investment to support business growth and efficiency strategy, and inflationary headwinds, partially offset by efficiency savings

Barclays Investment Bank

 

Leading Global Markets business and Investment Banking franchises operating at scale in the UK and US, including the International Corporate Bank (FTSE 350 clients and larger). Global Markets represents around two-thirds of the total Investment Bank income, while Investment Banking generates around two-thirds of fees in the US.

 

IB delivered a RoTE of 13.5% (Q325 YTD: 12.9%), driven by higher Global Markets income, Investment Banking fees and underwriting income, whilst maintaining cost and capital discipline, driving positive operating jaws and improved RWA productivity.

 

Income statement - Q326 YTD compared to Q325 YTD

Profit before tax increased to £4,347m (Q325 YTD: £3,935m)

IB has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies. The 2% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses

 

Total income increased 8% to £11,115m, including the adverse impact of strengthening average GBP against USD

 

-

Global Markets income increased 10% to £7,586m, driven by increased income in Equities

 

 

-

FICC income was 5% lower at £4,199m, versus a strong prior year performance, reflecting lower client activity, in rates and credit into the second half of Q326, and further adversity in September due to the macroeconomic environment

 

 

-

Equities income increased 34% to £3,387m, reflecting strategic growth in Prime Financing balances, and Equity Derivatives

 

-

Investment Banking income increased 6% to £3,529m

 

 

-

Banking fees and underwriting income increased 16% to £2,157m, primarily driven by Advisory and Equity Capital Markets, up 44% and 51% respectively, partially offset by Debt Capital Markets

 

 

-

ICB income decreased 7% to £1,372m. Transaction banking income increased 6% to £1,332m, as higher income from growth in deposit balances was partially offset by margin compression due to change in deposits product mix. Corporate lending income decreased to £40m, due to net losses on fair value lending and cost of hedging (c.£170m)1

Total operating expenses increased to £6,412m (Q325 YTD: £6,045m), driven by higher performance costs, including MRT adjustments and SCAs, partially offset by efficiency savings and the impact of strengthening average GBP against USD

Credit impairment charges were £356m (Q325 YTD: £283m), primarily driven by higher single name charges year-on-year

 

Balance sheet - 30 September 2026 compared to 31 December 2025

Profit before tax increased to £4,347m (Q325 YTD: £3,935m)

Loans and advances at amortised cost increased to £138.9bn (December 2025: £130.3bn), driven by increased lending across Global Markets and Banking

Trading portfolio assets increased to £212.8bn (December 2025: £189.5bn), driven by increased trading activity to facilitate client demand in Global Markets

Financial assets at fair value through the income statement increased to £198.7bn (December 2025: £183.6bn), driven by increased secured lending in Global Markets

Derivative financial instrument assets increased to £308.0bn (December 2025: £251.5bn) and liabilities increased to £298.2bn (December 2025: £240.6bn), reflecting an increase in client activity and mark-to-market in interest rate and equity derivatives

Deposits at amortised cost increased to £166.4bn (December 2025: £156.1bn), driven by growth in deposits primarily in ICB

 

1

Q326 YTD included c.£105m of fair value losses on lending and cost of hedges. Q325 YTD included c.£65m of fair value gains on lending and cost of hedging.

Barclays US Consumer Bank

 

A US co-branded credit card issuer and financial services partner to 23 million customers, with a direct-to-consumer loan origination platform in Best Egg and strong online retail deposit offering. Key business updates include:

Completed the American Airlines portfolio exit and the acquisition of Best Egg in Q226, strengthening our multi-product digital-only US Consumer Bank and increasing our ability to serve a wider range of customer borrowing needs

Announced a strategic partnership with Samsung in Q226 under which Barclays is the contracted provider for a range of financial products through Samsung's digital wallet ecosystem, extending access to customers through digital channels

 

USCB delivered a RoTE of 19.9% (Q325 YTD: 9.4%), reflecting a c.£225m Q226 gain on sale from the AA portfolio exit, continued operational progress, with increased income from business growth, higher net interest margin and positive operating jaws. Excluding the gain on sale of c.£225m (resulting in an adjusted attributable profit of £357m), the Q326 YTD RoTE was 13.6%.

 

Income statement - Q326 YTD compared to Q325 YTD

Profit before tax increased to £708m (Q325 YTD: £325m)

The 2% appreciation of average GBP against USD adversely impacted income and profits, and positively impacted credit impairment charges and total operating expenses

Total income increased 16% to £3,047m, including the adverse impact of the strengthening of average GBP against USD. NII increased 13% to £2,304m including business growth, repricing initiatives and change in portfolio mix. Net fee, commission and other income increased 27% to £743m driven by the gain on sale from the AA portfolio, and the Best Egg acquisition

Total operating expenses increased 6% to £1,286m, driven by the acquisitions of Best Egg and the GM portfolio, business growth and inflationary headwinds, partially offset by lower partner related expenses, ongoing efficiency savings and the strengthening of average GBP against USD

Credit impairment charges were £1,053m (Q325 YTD: £1,090m), reflecting broadly stable underlying credit performance, the impact from the Best Egg acquisition and other portfolio changes. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears rates were stable at 2.9% (Q325: 2.9%) and 1.5% (Q325: 1.5%) respectively. The USCB total coverage ratio was 10.8% (December 2025: 11.1%

RWAs decreased to £24.3bn (December 2025: £27.4bn), driven by a net £3.2bn reduction relating to the AA portfolio sale and Best Egg acquisition

Structural hedge

The Group employs a structural hedge programme designed to stabilise NIM on fixed rate non-maturity balance sheet items that are behaviourally stable. As interest rates move, such balances would otherwise drive material income volatility where there is a re-pricing mismatch with floating rate assets.

The structural hedge predominantly covers non-interest-bearing current accounts and the fixed portion of instant access savings accounts as well as equity, which are invested into either floating rate customer assets or balances at central banks, creating an exposure to changes in interest rates. The structural hedge is executed primarily via a portfolio of receive-fixed, pay variable interest rate swaps, with an amortising structure so that a small portion matures and is reinvested each month at prevailing market rates. The pay-floating leg of the interest rate swaps nets down a proportion of the receive-floating income from the customer assets, leaving a receive-fixed income stream from the structural hedge. 

The purpose of the structural hedge is to smooth the Group NII through time. The floating leg of the swap will re-price immediately, whereas the fixed rate yield on the portfolio reprices gradually, as a portion of the swap portfolio matures and the roll is re-invested onto new market rates.

When interest rates are higher than our structural hedge yield, the pay-floating rate will typically be higher than our average receive-fixed rate. In this scenario, when viewed in isolation, the structural hedge will be a net drag to Group NII. When floating rates are lower than our structural hedge yield, the hedge in isolation will be a net benefit.

Since the receive-fixed swaps are booked for a specific term, an element of NII is ‘locked in’. The income stabilising feature of the structural hedge provides greater net interest income certainty through the interest rate cycle.

The structural hedge is one component of a larger portfolio of interest rate risk management activities that includes non-structural hedging (e.g. pay-fixed and receive-variable flows for asset hedging), and other offsetting flows. The net risk of these positions is executed externally through interest rate swaps and managed for accounting risk (i.e. income volatility arising from the accounting mismatch of swaps at fair value through profit and loss and underlying hedged items at amortised cost) within the cash flow hedging reserve.

Overall the Group has external derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that hedge interest rate risk with a notional of £122.2bn (December 2025: £114.6bn) which reflects the structural hedge derivatives notional of £240.6bn (December 2025: £236.1bn) netted with non-structural hedging positions of £118.4bn (December 2025: £121.5bn). The majority of these interest rate swaps are cleared with Central Clearing Counterparties and margined daily with an average structural hedge duration of c.3.5 years.

Gross structural hedge contributions were £5,352m (September 2025: £4,313m). Gross structural hedge contributions primarily represent the absolute interest income earned on the fixed legs of the swaps in the structural hedge as the floating leg is offset by the base rate funding of the deposits.

 

Credit Risk

 

Loans and advances at amortised cost by geography

Total loans and advances at amortised cost in the credit risk section includes loans and advances at amortised cost to banks and loans and advances at amortised cost to customers.

The table below presents a product and geographical breakdown of loans and advances at amortised cost and the impairment allowance by stage. The table also presents stage allocation of debt securities and off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts.

The impairment allowance under IFRS 9 considers both the drawn and the undrawn counterparty exposure. For retail portfolios, the total impairment allowance is allocated to gross loans and advances to the extent allowance does not exceed the drawn exposure and any excess is reported on the liabilities side of the balance sheet as a provision. For wholesale portfolios, impairment allowance on undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

Measurement uncertainty

Scenarios used to calculate the Group’s modelled ECL charge were refreshed in Q326, with the Baseline scenario reflecting the latest consensus macroeconomic forecasts available at the time of the scenario refresh. The Baseline scenario continues to reflect the volatile trade policies of the US administration and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, compounded by ongoing tensions in the Middle East and associated risks to global energy markets.  Global growth slows modestly as higher US tariffs, retaliatory measures and persistent uncertainty disrupt trade flows, weigh on investment and dampen business confidence, though domestic demand in advanced economies remains relatively resilient. UK and US GDP growth in 2027 is expected to be 1.2% and 2.1%, respectively. Inflationary pressures remain elevated, with some tariff pass-through, higher energy prices, renewed supply-side frictions and increased transportation costs contributing to a more persistent and broad-based inflation profile. The softening in labour markets is gradual and insufficient to quickly alleviate underlying price pressures. UK and US quarterly unemployment rates peak at 5.2% and 4.3%, respectively.

The Downside scenarios have been calibrated to capture a severe escalation in geopolitical tensions, centred on a prolonged Middle East conflict, alongside intensifying global trade frictions. Early in the scenario, conflict escalates sharply with disruptions at critical maritime chokepoints, triggering severe shipping disruptions, surging insurance costs and sharp increases in oil and gas prices amid infrastructure damage. As the shock becomes protracted, firms delay investment, reassess supply chains and hoard inputs, while business and consumer confidence fall sharply. In Downside 2, UK and US GDP in 2027 falls by 3.9% and 3.8%, respectively. Inflation dynamics diverge sharply from Baseline, generating a stagflationary impulse. The deterioration in demand and investment drives a sharp increase in unemployment, initially concentrated in trade and energy exposed sectors but increasingly spilling over into services. In Downside 2, UK and US quarterly unemployment rates peak at 8.1% and 8.8%, respectively.  Monetary policy faces a difficult trade-off between persistent inflation and weakening growth. Central banks initially hike rates to ensure inflation expectations remain well anchored, but as the downturn deepens and demand forces weaken price pressures, they shift towards easing. The scenarios also incorporate climate-related risks through both physical and transition channels, including more frequent severe weather disruptions and a shift in sentiment around energy security. These effects amplify volatility, increase costs and further weigh on growth over the medium term.

In the Upside scenarios, a rise in labour force participation and higher productivity contribute to accelerated economic growth, without creating new inflationary pressures. Central banks lower interest rates stimulating private consumption and investment growth. Demand for labour increases and unemployment decreases. As geopolitical tensions ease, low inflation supports consumer purchasing power and contributes further to healthy GDP growth. The strong economic outlook and lower interest rates provide a boost to house price growth.

The methodology for estimating scenario weights involves simulating a range of future paths for UK and US GDP using historical data with the five scenarios mapped against the distribution of these future paths. The increase in the Upside weights and the reduction in the Baseline and Downside weights in Q326 was driven by improvement in UK and US GDP outlook in the Baseline scenario, moving the Baseline scenario closer to the Upside scenarios. For further details see page 44

However, the Group expects geopolitical uncertainty to remain elevated and any potential impact on corporate earnings is expected to lag. In response, the £66m¹ management adjustment introduced in Q126 within the Investment Bank has been retained.

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

Capital

As at 30 September 2026, the Group’s Overall Capital Requirement for CET1, excluding any applicable PRA buffer, was 12.2% and comprised a 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum, a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB), a 1.5% Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer, a 2.7% Pillar 2A requirement and a 1.0% Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB).

The Group’s CCyB is based on the buffer rate applicable for each jurisdiction in which the Group has exposures. The buffer rates set by other national authorities for non-UK exposures are not currently material.

The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement is 4.8% with at least 56.25% to be met with CET1 capital, equating to 2.7% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement, based on a point in time assessment, has been set as a proportion of RWAs and is subject to at least annual review.

The Group’s CET1 target ratio of 13-14% takes into account minimum capital requirements and applicable buffers. The Group remains above its minimum capital regulatory requirements and applicable buffers.

 

Leverage

As at 30 September 2026, the Group was subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.1%. This comprised the 3.25% minimum requirement, a G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) of 0.53% and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB) of 0.3%. The Group is also required to disclose an average UK leverage ratio which is based on capital on the last day of each month in the quarter and an exposure measure for each day in the quarter.

 

MREL

As at 30 September 2026, the Group was required to meet the higher of: (i) two times the sum of 8% Pillar 1 and 4.8% Pillar 2A equating to 25.5% of RWAs; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the buffers, meaning that the buffers, including any applicable PRA buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

 

Significant regulatory updates in the period

 

In January 2026, the PRA confirmed the final implementation timetable for the UK Basel 3.1 framework, reaffirming that Basel 3.1 will be implemented from 1 January 2027. From the same date, the Group’s Overall Capital Requirement will reduce, reflecting a 59bps reduction in the Pillar 2A requirement on a CET1 basis.

 

The PRA also confirmed its approach to the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), under which implementation of the Internal Models Approach (IMA) will be deferred to 1 January 2028, while all other FRTB components will take effect from 1 January 2027.

–       £2.5bn share buybacks including the now completed £1.5bn share buyback announced with the FY25 and Q126 results and the ongoing £1.0bn share buyback announced with Q226 results

–       £1.5bn of ordinary share dividends paid and foreseen reflecting the £0.8bn half year dividend paid in September 2026 and a £0.7bn accrual towards the total 2026 dividend

–       £0.8bn of equity coupons paid and foreseen

 

•      £0.7bn decrease due to regulatory adjustments and deductions including £0.5bn of goodwill and intangibles deductions primarily driven by the Best Egg acquisition

Total RWAs increased £13.0bn to £369.8bn (December 2025: £356.8bn) primarily driven by:

 

Credit risk RWAs increased £6.7bn:

•      A £10.3bn increase in book size primarily reflecting lending growth in UK businesses and increased lending within IB; partially offset by

•      A £3.2bn decrease in acquisitions and disposals reflecting the net impact of the AA portfolio exit and the Best Egg acquisition

 

Counterparty credit risk RWAs increased £5.1bn primarily driven by higher activity in Global Markets

Although the leverage ratio is expressed in terms of T1 capital, the leverage ratio buffers and 75% of the minimum requirement must be covered solely with CET1 capital. The CET1 capital held against the 0.53% G-SII ALRB was £7.1bn and against the 0.3% CCLB was £4.0bn.

 

The UK leverage ratio decreased to 4.9% (December 2025: 5.1%) primarily driven by a £96.7bn increase in leverage exposure to £1,344.0bn (December 2025: £1,247.3bn), partially offset by a £1.8bn increase in Tier 1 capital. The increase in leverage exposure was driven by higher trading activity in Global Markets and increased lending across the Group

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.
