PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated,
 
the income statement analysis compares the
 
three
months ended 31 March
 
2020 to the corresponding
 
three months of 2019
 
and balance sheet analysis as
 
at 31 March 2020
 
with comparatives relating
 
to 31
December 2019
 
and 31
 
March
 
2019. The
 
abbreviations ‘£m’
 
and
 
‘£bn’ represent
 
millions and
 
thousands of
 
millions of
 
Pounds
 
Sterling
 
respectively; the
abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent
 
millions and thousands of millions of
 
US Dollars respectively; and the abbreviations
 
‘€m’ and ‘€bn’ represent millions
and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.
 
There are a number
 
of key judgement areas,
 
for example impairment calculations, which
 
are based on models and which
 
are subject to ongoing adjustment
and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.
Relevant terms that are used in this document but are
 
not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
are explained in the results glossary 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
 
28 April
 
2020, does
 
not comprise
 
statutory accounts
 
within the
meaning of
 
Section 434
 
of the
 
Companies Act
 
2006. Statutory
 
accounts for
 
the year
 
ended 31
 
December 2019,
 
which contain
 
an unmodified audit

under Section 495
 
of the Companies
 
Act 2006

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 conc
 
erning 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 35
 
to 43
 
for further
 
information and
 
calculations of
 
non-IFRS performance
 
measures included
throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
 
Key non-IFRS measures included in this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures, are:
 
– Attributable profit excluding
 
litigation and conduct represents attributable
 
profit excluding litigation and conduct charges.
 
The comparable IFRS measure is
attributable profit. A reconciliation is provided on pages 37 to 42;
 
– Average allocated equity represents the average
 
shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is average
 
equity. A
reconciliation is provided on pages 37 to 41;
 
– Average allocated tangible
 
equity is calculated as the average
 
of the previous month’s period
 
end allocated tangible equity and the current
 
month’s period
end allocated
 
tangible equity.
 
The average
 
allocated tangible
 
equity for
 
the period
 
is the
 
average of
 
the monthly
 
averages within
 
that period.
 
Period end
allocated tangible equity
 
is calculated as
 
13.5% (2019: 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 allocated tangible equity represents
 
the difference between the
Group’s tangible
 
shareholders’ equity and the amounts
 
allocated to businesses. The comparable
 
IFRS measure is average
 
equity. A reconciliation
 
is provided
on pages 37 to 41;
 
– Average tangible
 
shareholders’ equity is calculated
 
as the average
 
of the previous month’s
 
period end tangible equity and
 
the current month’s
 
period end
tangible equity.
 
The average
 
tangible shareholders’
 
equity for
 
the period
 
is the
 
average of
 
the monthly
 
averages
 
within that
 
period. The
 
comparable IFRS
measure is average equity. A reconciliation is provided on pages 37 to 41;
 
– Basic earnings per
 
share excluding litigation
 
and conduct is
 
calculated by dividing statutory
 
profit after tax
 
attributable to ordinary
 
shareholders excluding
litigation and conduct charges, by the basic weighted
 
average number of shares. The comparable IFRS
 
measure is basic earnings per share. A reconciliation is
provided on page 37;
 
– Cost:
 
income ratio
 
excluding litigation
 
and conduct
 
represents operating
 
expenses excluding
 
litigation and
 
conduct charges,
 
divided by total
 
income. The
comparable IFRS measure is cost: income ratio. A reconciliation is provided on pages 37 to 41;
 
– Operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct represents operating expenses excluding litigation and
 
conduct charges. The comparable IFRS measure
is operating expenses. A reconciliation is provided on pages 37 to 41;
 
– Profit
 
before tax
 
excluding litigation
 
and conduct
 
represents profit
 
before tax
 
excluding litigation
 
and conduct
 
charges. The
 
comparable IFRS
 
measure is
profit before tax. A reconciliation is provided on pages 37 to 42;
 
– Return on average allocated equity represents the return on shareholders’ equity that is allocated to the businesses. The comparable IFRS measure is return
on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 43;
 
 
Return
 
on
 
average
 
allocated
 
tangible equity
 
is
 
calculated
 
as
 
the annualised
 
profit
 
after
 
tax
 
attributable
 
to
 
ordinary
 
equity
 
holders of
 
the parent,
 
as
 
a
proportion of average allocated tangible equity. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 43;
 
– Return on
 
average allocated
 
tangible equity excluding
 
litigation and conduct is
 
calculated as the
 
annualised profit after tax
 
attributable to ordinary
 
equity
holders of the parent
 
excluding litigation and
 
conduct charges, as
 
a proportion of average
 
allocated tangible equity.
 
The comparable IFRS
 
measure is return
on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 43;
 
– Return
 
on average
 
tangible shareholders’ equity
 
is calculated
 
as the annualised
 
profit after
 
tax attributable
 
to ordinary
 
equity holders of
 
the parent, as
 
a
proportion of average
 
shareholders’ equity excluding
 
non-controlling interests and
 
other equity instruments
 
adjusted for the
 
deduction of intangible
 
assets
and goodwill. The comparable IFRS measure is return on equity. A reconciliation is provided on page 43; and
 
– Tangible
 
net asset
 
value per
 
share
 
is calculated
 
by
 
dividing shareholders’
 
equity,
 
excluding non-controlling
 
interests
 
and other
 
equity instruments,
 
less
goodwill and intangible assets, by the number of issued ordinary shares. The
 
components of the calculation have been included on page 42.

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,
 
payment
 
of
 
dividends
(including dividend
 
payout
 
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 and such 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, 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 exit by the UK from the European Union and the disruption that may subsequently result in the
UK and globally; 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, dividend
 
payments, 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 2019 and our

Group Finance Director’s Review

Group performance
 
RoE was 4.4%
 
(Q119: 7.8%). RoTE, excluding
 
litigation and conduct,
 
was resilient at
 
5.1% (Q119: 9.6%). EPS,
 
excluding litigation
and conduct, was 3.5p (Q119: 6.3p), while statutory EPS was also 3.5p (Q119: 6.1p)
 
Profit before tax
 
was £913m (Q119:
 
£1,483m). Excluding litigation
 
and conduct, profit
 
before tax
 
was £923m (Q119:
 
£1,544m),
as positive
 
operating leverage
 
from a
 
20% increase
 
in income
 
and stable
 
operating expenses
 
were offset
 
by materially
 
higher
credit impairment charges
 
Total
 
income increased
 
20% to
 
£6,283m. Barclays
 
UK income
 
decreased 4%
 
due to
 
ongoing margin
 
pressure, including
 
lower
interest
 
earning
 
lending
 
(IEL)
 
balances
 
in
 
UK
 
cards
 
and
 
deposit
 
margin
 
compression,
 
and
 
lower
 
fees
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
removal
 
of
certain
 
fees
 
in
 
overdrafts
 
and
 
UK
 
cards.
 
Barclays
 
International
 
income
 
increased
 
30%,
 
with
 
CIB
 
income
 
up
 
44%
 
and
 
CC&P
income down 4%.
 
Within CIB, Markets
 
income increased
 
due to a
 
strong performance
 
in macro,
 
credit, and equity
 
derivatives.
Banking fees income increased despite
 
a decline in the overall fee
 
pool
1
. Transaction banking
 
income also increased, offset
 
by a
reduction
 
in
 
Corporate
 
lending.
 
CC&P
 
income
 
reflected
 
lower
 
balances on
 
co-branded
 
cards
 
and
 
reduced

activity,
partially offset by the positive impact of appreciation in average USD against
 
GBP
 
Credit
 
impairment
 
charges
 
increased
 
to
 
£2,115m
 
(Q119:

This
 
increase
 
reflects
 
£405m
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
single
 
name
wholesale
 
loan
 
charges
 
in
 
the
 
quarter
 
and
 
£1.2bn
 
net
 
impact
 
from
 
a
 
revised
 
Baseline
 
scenario
 
(the
 
“COVID-19
 
scenario”),
reflecting
 
forecast
 
deterioration
 
in
 
macroeconomic
 
variables,
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
the
 
estimated
 
impact
 
of
 
central
 
bank,
government
 
and
 
other
 
support
 
measures.
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
scenario
 
also
 
includes
 
a
 
specific
 
charge
 
of
 
£300m
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
probability of a sustained
 
period of low oil
 
prices. The £150m provision for
 
UK economic uncertainty
 
held at year-end 2019
 
has
been incorporated within the updated scenario
 
The Group cost:
 
income ratio
 
was 52%
 
(Q119: 63%). Operating
 
expenses were
 
stable at
 
£3,253m (Q119:
 
£3,257m). The Group
delivered positive cost:
 
income jaws of
 
20%, reflecting positive
 
cost: income
 
jaws in CIB
 
and CC&P of
 
40% and 6% respectively,
partially offset
 
by
 
negative
 
cost:
 
income
 
jaws
 
in
 
Barclays
 
UK
 
of 6%.
 
This
 
resulted
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
cost:
 
income
 
ratio,
 
excluding
litigation and conduct, reducing to 52% (Q119: 62%)
 
The statutory
 
effective
 
tax rate
 
was 7.8%,
 
which included a
 
tax benefit
 
recognised for
 
the re-measurement
 
of UK
 
deferred tax
assets as
 
a result
 
of UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
being maintained
 
at a
 
rate
 
of 19%.
 
The Group’s
 
effective
 
tax
 
rate
 
for
 
the full
 
year
 
is
expected to be around 20%, excluding litigation and conduct
 
 
Attributable
 
profit
 
was
 
£605m
 
(Q119:
 
£1,038m).
 
Excluding
 
litigation
 
and
 
conduct,
 
attributable
 
profit
 
was
 
£604m
 
(Q119:
£1,084m), generating a RoTE of 5.1% (Q119: 9.6%) and EPS of 3.5p (Q119: 6.3p)
 
 
Total assets increased to £1,444bn (December 2019: £1,140bn) primarily driven by a £113bn increase in derivative assets, £74bn
increase in cash collateral
 
and settlement balances,
 
and £60bn increase in financial
 
assets at fair value due to decreases
 
in interest
rate forward curves, increased corporate
 
loan drawdowns, the appreciation of period
 
end USD against
 
GBP and increased client
activity. The increases
 
in derivative assets
 
were broadly matched
 
by the increase
 
in derivative
 
liabilities,
 
which increased
 
£110bn
 
 
NAV per
 
share was
 
332p
 
(December 2019: 309p). TNAV
 
per share
 
increased to 284p
 
(December 2019: 262p) reflecting
 
3.5p of
statutory EPS
 
and positive
 
reserve movements,
 
including retirement
 
benefit re-measurements
 
and currency
 
translation reserves

ratio
 
remained
 
stable
 
at
 
4.5%
 
(December 2019:

primarily driven
 
by
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
leverage
exposure to
 
£1,176bn (December
 
2019: £1,143bn),
 
partially offset
 
by an
 
increase in
 
Tier 1
 
(T1) capital.
 
The UK
 
leverage ratio
decreased to
 
4.5% (December
 
2019: 5.1%).
 
The increase
 
in leverage
 
exposure is
 
primarily driven
 
by an
 
increase in
 
IFRS total
assets
 
including
 
a
 
£60bn

increase in loans and advances
 
Group funding and liquidity
 
The liquidity pool
 
was £237bn (December
 
2019: £211bn)
 
and the liquidity
 
coverage ratio
 
(LCR) remained
 
well above
 
the 100%
regulatory
 
requirement
 
at
 
155%
 
(December

160%),
 
equivalent
 
to
 
a
 
surplus
 
of
 
£82bn
 
(December
 
2019:
 
£78bn).
 
The
change in the
 
liquidity pool,
 
LCR and
 
surplus is
 
driven by
 
deposit growth
 
net of client
 
and business
 
funding requirements,
 
and
reflects actions to maintain a prudent funding and liquidity position in the current environment
 
Wholesale

outstanding,
 
excluding

agreements,
 
was
 
£155.3bn
 
(December

This does
 
not include

Payment
 
Protection
 
Insurance.
 
Since
 
the
 
provision
increase
 
in
 
2019,
 
60%
 
of
 
the
 
items
 
outstanding
 
as
 
at

September
 
2019
 
have
 
been
 
resolved
 
and

resolved complaints continue to support the provision level
 
Dividends and capital returns
 
 
In response
 
to a
 
request from
 
the Prudential
 
Regulation Authority
 
(PRA), and
 
to preserve
 
additional capital
 
for use
 
in serving
Barclays customers and clients through the extraordinary
 
challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board agreed
 
to
cancel the 6.0p
 
per ordinary share
 
full year dividend.
 
The Board
 
also decided that
 
for 2020
 
Barclays would
 
suspend its current
capital returns
 
policy and accordingly
 
will not
 
undertake any
 
interim ordinary
 
share dividend
 
payments, regulatory
 
accruals of
ordinary share dividends, or share buybacks. The Board
 
will decide on future dividends and its capital
 
returns policy at year-end
2020
 
Outlook and guidance
 
Due to the
 
lower interest
 
rate environment
 
and macroeconomic
 
downturn caused
 
by the COVID
 
-19 pandemic,
 
BUK and CC&P
income headwinds are expected
 
to continue for
 
the remainder of
 
the year.
 
In BUK in particular,
 
headwinds include (i) c.£250m
from the lower
 
rate environment
 
(ii) reduced IEL
 
balances (iii) c.£150m
 
due to the
 
removal of
 
certain fees
 
and lower overdraft
balances as a result of the High Cost of Credit Review and (iv) c.£100m from COVID-19 customer
 
support actions
 
In our
 
Markets
 
business client
 
flows
 
have
 
continued at
 
healthy
 
levels
 
and while
 
it is
 
too
 
early to
 
guide for
 
the quarter
 
or
 
to
comment on the outlook for the
 
rest of the year,
 
in April so far our revenue
 
run-rate is well above
 
that of the second quarter of
2019
 
Given the
 
uncertainty around
 
the developing
 
economic downturn
 
and low
 
interest
 
rate
 
environment,
 
2020 is
 
expected to
 
be
challenging. However, the Group
 
believes that a RoTE of greater than 10% remains the right target
 
for the Group over time
 
Cost control remains important and the Group continues to
 
target a cost: income ratio of
 
<60% over time
 
Barclays intends
 
to manage its capital position to enable it to
 
support customers whilst maintaining appropriate
 
headroom over
the
 
MDA
 
hurdle,
 
which
 
is
 
currently
 
11.5%.
 
Barclays
 
is
 
comfortable
 
operating
 
below
 
its
 
previously
 
stated
 
CET1
 
target
 
level,
depending on how
 
the stress evolves,
 
and will continue
 
to manage equity
 
capital having
 
regard to
 
the servicing of more
 
senior
securities. Barclays
 
also expects
 
its MDA hurdle
 
(in percentage
 
terms) to
 
reduce as a
 
result of some
 
anticipated movements
 
in
the Pillar 2A ratio requirement
 
 
Group targets are subject to change depending on the evolution of the COVID
 
-19 pandemic

Risk management and principal risks
Detail on
 
the Group’s
 
principal risks
 
and previously
 
identified material
 
existing and
 
emerging risks
 
is available
 
in the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
Annual Report
 
2019 or
 
online at
 
home.barclays/annualreport.
 
Set out
 
below are
 
details of
 
an additional
 
material risk
 
identified in
Q120 which potentially impacts more than one principal risk.
Risks relating to the impact of COVID-19
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
had,
 
and
 
continues
 
to
 
have,
 
a
 
material
 
impact
 
on
 
businesses
 
around
 
the
 
world
 
and
 
the
 
economic
environments
 
in
 
which
 
they
 
operate.
 
There
 
are
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
factors
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
pandemic
 
and
 
its
 
impact
 
on
 
global
economies
 
that
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
(among
 
other
 
things)
 
the
 
profitability,
 
capital
 
and
 
liquidity
 
of
 
financial
institutions such as Barclays.
 
The COVID-19
 
pandemic has caused
 
disruption to
 
the Group’s
 
customers, suppliers
 
and staff
 
globally.
 
A number
 
of jurisdictions in
which the Group operates
 
have implemented severe
 
restrictions on the movement
 
of their respective populations, with a
 
resultant
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
economic
 
activity
 
in
 
those
 
jurisdictions.
 
These
 
restrictions
 
are
 
being
 
determined
 
by
 
the
 
governments
 
of
individual
 
jurisdictions
 
(including
 
through
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
emergency
 
powers)
 
and
 
impacts
 
(including
 
the
 
timing
 
of
implementation and any subsequent lifting of restrictions) may vary
 
from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It remains unclear how this will
evolve through
 
2020 and the
 
Group continues
 
to monitor
 
the situation
 
closely.
 
However,
 
despite the
 
COVID-19 contingency
 
plans
established
 
by the
 
Group,
 
its
 
ability
 
to
 
conduct
 
business may
 
be
 
adversely
 
affected
 
by disruptions
 
to
 
its infrastructure,
 
business
processes and
 
technology services,
 
resulting from
 
the unavailability
 
of staff
 
due to
 
illness or
 
the failure
 
of third
 
parties to
 
supply
services.
 
This
 
may
 
cause
 
significant
 
customer
 
detriment,
 
costs
 
to
 
reimburse
 
losses
 
incurred
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
customers,
 
and
reputational damage.
In many of
 
the jurisdictions in
 
which the Group
 
operates, schemes
 
have been
 
initiated by central
 
banks and national
 
governments
to provide financial support
 
to parts of the
 
economy most impacted
 
by the COVID-19
 
pandemic. The details
 
of how these schemes
will operate, the impact on the Group’s
 
customers and therefore
 
the impact on the Group remain uncertain
 
at this stage. However,
certain actions (such as the introduction of mortgage payment holidays
 
or the cancellation of fees associated with certain products)
may negatively impact the effective
 
interest rate earned on
 
certain of the Group’s
 
portfolios and lower fee income
 
being earned on
certain
 
products.
 
Lower
 
interest
 
rates
 
globally
 
will
 
negatively
 
impact
 
net
 
interest
 
income
 
earned
 
on
 
certain
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
portfolios.
 
Both
 
of
 
these
 
factors
 
may
 
in
 
turn
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
profitability.
 
Furthermore,
 
the
 
introduction
 
of,
 
and
participation
 
in,
 
central-bank
 
supported
 
loan
 
schemes
 
and
 
other
 
financing
 
schemes
 
introduced
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
pandemic may negatively impact the Group’s
 
RWAs, level of impairment and, in turn, capital position.
The
 
actions
 
taken
 
by
 
various
 
governments
 
and
 
central
 
banks,
 
in
 
particular
 
in
 
the
 
United
 
Kingdom
 
and
 
the
 
United
 
States,
 
may
indicate
 
a
 
view
 
on
 
the potential
 
severity
 
of
 
any
 
economic
 
downturn and
 
post
 
recovery
 
environment,
 
which
 
from
 
a commercial,
regulatory
 
and
 
risk
 
perspective
 
could
 
be
 
significantly
 
different
 
to
 
past
 
crises
 
and
 
persist
 
for
 
a
 
prolonged
 
period.
 
An
 
immediate
financial impact in the first
 
half of 2020 will
 
be higher expected credit
 
losses (“ECLs”) driven by
 
a change in the
 
economic scenarios
used
 
to
 
calculate
 
ECLs.
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
led
 
to
 
a
 
weakening
 
in
 
gross
 
domestic
 
product
 
(“GDP”)
 
in
 
many
 
of
 
the
jurisdictions in
 
which the
 
Group operates
 
and higher
 
unemployment in
 
those same
 
jurisdictions. Accordingly,
 
the probability
 
of a
more
 
adverse
 
economic
 
scenario
 
for
 
at
 
least
 
the
 
short
 
term
 
is
 
substantially
 
higher
 
than
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2019
 
and
 
GDP
 
and
unemployment are two of the factors that affect
 
the modelling of ECLs by the Group. The economic environment remains uncertain
and future
 
impairment charges
 
may be
 
subject to
 
further volatility
 
(including from
 
changes to
 
macroeconomic
 
variable forecasts)
depending on the longevity of
 
the COVID-19 pandemic and related
 
containment measures, as
 
well as the longer term
 
effectiveness
of central bank, government and other support measures. For
 
further details on macroeconomic variables used in the calculation of
ECLs,
 
refer
 
to
 
page 22.
 
In
 
addition,
 
ECLs
 
may
 
be adverse
 
ly impacted
 
by increased
 
levels
 
of
 
default
 
for
 
single name
 
exposures
 
in
certain
 
sectors
 
directly
 
impacted
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
(such
 
as
 
the
 
oil
 
and
 
gas,
 
retail,
 
airline,
 
and
 
hospitality
 
and
 
leisure
sectors).
Furthermore, the Group relies
 
on models to support
 
a broad range
 
of business and risk management
 
activities, including informing
business
 
decisions
 
and
 
strategies,
 
measuring
 
and
 
limiting
 
risk,
 
valuing
 
exposures
 
(including
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
impairment),
conducting stress testing and
 
assessing capital
 
adequacy. Models
 
are, by their nature, imperfect
 
and incomplete representations
 
of
reality because
 
they rely
 
on assumptions
 
and inputs,
 
and so
 
they may
 
be subject
 
to errors
 
affecting the
 
accuracy of
 
their outputs
and/or misused. This may be exacerbated
 
when dealing with unprecedented scenarios,
 
such as the COVID-19 pandemic, due to
 
the
lack of
 
reliable historical
 
reference
 
points and
 
data. For
 
further details
 
on model
 
risk, refer
 
to page
 
98 of
 
the Barclays
 
PLC Annual
Report 2019 filed on Form 20-F.
Should the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic continue
 
to cause
 
disruption to
 
economic
 
activity globally
 
through 2020,
 
there could
 
be adverse
impacts on
 
the Group’s
 
other assets
 
such as
 
goodwill and
 
intangibles, and
 
the value
 
of Barclays
 
PLC’s investment
 
s
 
in subsidiaries.
There
 
could
 
also
 
be
 
further
 
impacts
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
income
 
due
 
to
 
lower
 
lending
 
and
 
transaction
 
volumes
 
due
 
to
 
volatility
 
or
weakness in
 
the capital
 
markets.
 
Other potential
 
risks include
 
credit rating
 
migration
 
which could
 
negatively
 
impact the
 
Group’s
RWAs
 
and
 
capital
 
position,
 
and
 
potential
 
liquidity
 
stress
 
due
 
to
 
(among
 
other
 
things)
 
increased
 
customer
 
drawdowns,
notwithstanding the
 
significant initiatives
 
that governments
 
and central
 
banks have
 
put in
 
place to
 
support funding
 
and liquidity.
Furthermore, a
 
significant increase
 
in the utilisation
 
of credit
 
cards by
 
Barclaycard
 
customers could
 
have a
 
negative impact
 
on the
Group’s RWAs
 
and capital position.

taken
 
in
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
may
 
also
 
create
restrictions in relation
 
to capital. For
 
example, on 31
 
March 2020 in response
 
to a request from
 
the PRA and to
 
preserve additional
capital
 
for
 
use in
 
serving Barclays’

the Board
 
agreed
 
to

was due

In addition,
 
the Board
 
decided that
 
for 2020
 
Barclays

not undertake
any
 
interim

could have a
 
material adverse
 
effect on the

financial condition, results
of operations, prospects, liquidity,

customers, employees

Impact on impairment charge from COVID-19
 
Prior
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
and
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
Barclays
 
established
 
processes,
 
the
 
Group
 
regenerated
 
its
 
Baseline
 
economic
scenario in January 2020 using
 
an external consensus
 
assembled from key
 
sources. In addition, two
 
adverse scenarios (Downside
 
1
and
 
Downside
 
2)
 
and
 
two
 
favourable
 
scenarios
 
(Upside
 
1
 
and
 
Upside
 
2)
 
were
 
derived
 
with
 
associated
 
probability
 
weights.
 
This
regeneration was subsequent to the scenarios and weightings used for
 
December 2019 reporting.
In subsequent
 
months, it
 
became
 
clear that
 
the external
 
consensus
 
taken
 
in January
 
would
 
not be
 
an accurate
 
reflection
 
of
 
the
economic circumstances as at 31 March 2020. Furthermore,
 
given the speed at which global forecasts deteriorated
 
during March, it
was
 
also
 
clear
 
that
 
an
 
effective
 
consensus
 
process
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
March
 
2020
 
would
 
not
 
be
 
achievable
 
given
 
the
 
lagging
 
nature
 
of
consensus
 
submissions.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
generated
 
a
 
new
 
Baseline
 
scenario
 
(COVID-19
 
scenario)
 
that
 
reflects
 
the
 
most
recent
 
economic
 
forecasts
 
available
 
in
 
the
 
market
 
(combined
 
with
 
internal
 
assumptions)
 
and
 
the
 
significant
 
support
 
measures
taken
 
by Barclays,
 
central
 
banks and
 
governments
 
across the
 
Group’s
 
key
 
markets.
 
The scenario
 
assumes a
 
strong contraction
 
in
GDP
 
and
 
a
 
sharp
 
rise
 
in
 
unemployment
 
in
 
2020
 
across
 
both
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
US.
 
The
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
Baseline
 
scenario
 
required
 
a
recalibration of
 
probability weights.
 
The economic
 
environment remains
 
uncertain and future
 
impairment charges
 
may be
 
subject
to
 
further
 
volatility
 
(including
 
from
 
changes
 
to
 
macroeconomic
 
variable
 
forecasts)
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
longevity
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
pandemic
 
and
 
related
 
containment
 
measures,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
longer
 
term
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
central
 
bank,
 
government
 
and
 
other
support measures.
The
 
tables
 
below
 
show
 
the
 
key
 
macroeconomic
 
variables
 
used
 
in
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
Baseline
 
scenario
 
and
 
the
 
probability
 
weights
applied to each respective scenario.

The
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
scenario
 
and
 
weighting
 
adjustments
 
has
 
resulted
 
in
 
a
 
£1,190m
 
increase
 
in
 
ECL
 
from
 
the
 
scenario
regenerated
 
in
 
January,
 
primarily
 
driven
 
by
 
the
 
higher
 
probability
 
of
 
default
 
in
 
credit
 
cards,
 
unsecured
 
loans
 
and
 
other
 
retail
lending.
 
These
 
drivers
 
are
 
partially

within the updated scenario.

The Group liquidity pool increased to

Capital
The Group’s
 
Overall Capital Requirement
 
for CET1 is
 
11.5% 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
 
3.0%
 
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
 
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 PRA’s Individual Capital
 
Requirement is 5.3% of which at least 56.25% needs to
 
be met
with CET1
 
capital,
 
equating to
 
approximately
 
3.0%
 
of
 
RWAs.
 
Certain elements
 
of
 
the Pillar
 
2A
 
requirement
 
are
 
a fixed
 
quantum
whilst others are a proportion of
 
RWAs, based on a point
 
in time assessment. The Pillar 2A requirement
 
is subject to at least annual
review.
 
On 27 June 2019, CRR II came into force
 
amending CRR. As an amending regulation, the existing provisions
 
of CRR apply unless they
are amended by CRR II.
 
 
Certain
 
aspects
 
of
 
CRR
 
II are
 
dependent on
 
final
 
technical
 
standards
 
to
 
be issued
 
by
 
the European
 
Banking Authority
 
(EBA)
 
and
adopted by
 
the European
 
Commission as
 
well as
 
UK implementation
 
of the

Leverage ratio and exposures
The
 
Group
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
requirement
 
of
 
3.8%
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
March
 
2020.
 
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
0.0%.
 
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 £6.2bn.
 
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.

The average
 
UK leverage
 
ratio
 
remained
 
stable
 
at 4.5%
 
(December 2019:
 
4.5%). The
 
average
 
UK leverage
 
exposure
 
increased by
£33bn to £1,176bn
 
primarily driven by SFTs
 
and loans and advances
 
and other assets, partially offset
 
by an increase in T1
 
capital of
£1.5bn to £53.3bn, mainly driven by the cancellation of the full year 2019 dividend.
 
The
 
UK
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
decreased
 
to
 
4.5%
 
(December
 
2019:
 
5.1%)
 
driven
 
by
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
UK
 
leverage
 
exposure
 
of
 
£171bn
 
to
£1,179bn partially offset by an increase in T1 capital. The UK leverage exposure
 
movements included:
 
 
 
SFTs increased £90.4bn to £220.0bn primarily due to increased client
 
activity
 
Loans
 
and
 
advances
 
and

MREL
CRR II
 
requirements relating
 
to own
 
funds and
 
eligible liabilities
 
came into
 
effect
 
from 27
 
June 2019.
 
Eligible liabilities
 
have been
calculated reflecting
 
the Group’s
 
interpretation of
 
the current rules
 
and guidance. Certain
 
aspects of CRR
 
II are dependent
 
on final
technical standards to be issued by the EBA and adopted by the European Commission as well as UK
 
implementation of the rules.
 
The Group
 
is required
 
to meet
 
the higher
 
of: (i)
 
the MREL
 
set by
 
the Bank
 
of England;
 
and (ii)
 
the requirements
 
in CRR
 
II, both
 
of
which have RWA
 
and leverage
 
based requirements.
 
MREL is subject
 
to phased implementation
 
and will be
 
fully implemented
 
by 1
January
 
2022,
 
at
 
which
 
time
 
the
 
Group’s
 
indicative
 
MREL
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
two
 
times
 
the
 
sum
 
of
 
its
 
Pillar
 
1
 
and
 
Pillar
 
2A
requirements,
 
as
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England.
 
In
 
addition,
 
CET1
 
capital
 
cannot
 
be
 
counted
 
towards
 
both
 
MREL
 
and
 
the
 
capital
buffers, meaning that the buffers
 
will effectively be applied above both the Pillar 1 and Pillar 2A requirements
 
relating to own funds
and eligible liabilities. The Bank of England will review
 
the MREL calibration by the end of
 
2020, including assessing the proposal for
Pillar 2A recapitalisation, which may drive a different
 
1 January 2022 MREL than currently proposed.

Appendix: Non-IFRS Performance Measures
 
 
 
 
Barclays PLC

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.

tangible equity
Allocated
 
tangible
 
equity is
 
calculated
 
as 13.5%
 
(2019: 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

allocated
 
tangible
 
equity
 
represents
 
the
 
difference
between the Group’s tangible shareholders’
 
equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.

equity
 
and
 
the
 
current
month’s
 
period end
 
tangible equity.
 
The average
 
tangible shareholders’
 
equity for
 
the period
 
is the
average of the monthly averages
 
within that period.
Average allocated
tangible equity
Calculated
 
as
 
the
 
average
 
of
 
the

month’s
 
period
 
end
 
allocated
 
tangible
 
equity
 
and
 
the
current month’s
 
period end
 
allocated
 
tangible equity.
 
The average
 
allocated
 
tangible equity
 
for
 
the
period is the average of the monthly averages within that
 
period.

The difference between
 
the risk-free
 
value of a portfolio
 
of trades and the market
 
value which
takes into account
 
the counterparty’s risk
 
of default. The CVA
 
therefore represents
 
an estimate of the adjustment
 
to fair value that
a market
 
participant would
 
make
 
to
 
incorporate
 
the credit
 
risk of
 
the counterparty
 
due to
 
any failure
 
to perform
 
on contractual
agreements.
 
‘CRR leverage exposure’
 
Is calculated in accordance with article 429 as per the CRR.
‘CRR

‘Debit Valuation
 
Adjustment (DVA)’
 
The opposite

Adjustment (CVA).
 
It is
 
the difference
 
between the
 
risk-free
value
 
of
 
a
 
portfolio
 
of
 
trades
 
and
 
the
 
market
 
value
 
which
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
of
 
default.
 
The
 
DVA,
therefore,
 
represents
 
an estimate
 
of the
 
adjustment to
 
fair value
 
that a
 
market
 
participant would
 
make to
 
incorporate
 
the credit
risk of
 
the Barclays
 
Group due
 
to any
 
failure
 
to perform
 
on contractual
 
obligations. The
 
DVA
 
decreases the
 
value of
 
a liability
 
to
take into account
 
a reduction in the remaining
 
balance that would be settled
 
should the Barclays Group
 
default or not perform
 
any
contractual obligations.
 
‘Debt buybacks’

‘Default
 
fund
 
contributions’
 
The
 
amount
 
of
 
contribution

counterparty
 
(CCP).
 
All
 
members
 
are
required to
 
contribute to
 
this fund in
 
advance of using
 
a CCP.
 
The default
 
fund can be
 
used by the
 
CCP to cover
 
losses incurred by
the CCP where losses are greater than the margins provided by that member.

options.
 
Forward
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
contracts
 
are

the
principal amounts
 
are re
 
-exchanged
 
on a
 
future
 
date.
 
Currency
 
options provide
 
the buyer
 
with the
 
right, but

the
 
reduction
 
of
 
the

risk
 
on
 
the
 
exposure
 
of
 
an
institution derives
 
from the
 
right of
 
that institution,
 
in the
 
event of
 
the default
 
of the
 
counterparty or
 
on the
 
occurrence of
 
other
specified credit events relating to the counterparty,
 
to liquidate, or to obtain transfer
 
or appropriation of,
 
or to retain certain assets

‘Interest rate
 
derivatives’
 
Derivatives linked
 
to interest
 
rates. This
 
category includes
 
interest rate
 
swaps, collars,
 
floors options and
swaptions. An interest rate swap
 
is an agreement between two parties to exchange fixed
 
rate and floating rate interest
 
by means of
periodic
 
payments
 
based
 
upon
 
a
 
notional
 
principal
 
amount
 
and
 
the
 
interest
 
rates
 
defined
 
in
 
the
 
contract.
 
Certain
 
agreements
combine interest rate
 
and foreign currency
 
swap transactions, which
 
may or may
 
not include the exchange
 
of principal amounts. A
basis swap
 
is a
 
form
 
of interest
 
rate
 
swap, in
 
which both
 
parties exchange
 
interest
 
payments
 
based on
 
floating rates,
 
where the
floating
 
rates
 
are
 
based
 
upon
 
different
 
underlying
 
reference
 
indices.
 
In
 
a
 
forward
 
rate
 
agreement,
 
two
 
parties
 
agree
 
a
 
future
settlement
 
of
 
the
 
difference
 
between
 
an
 
agreed
 
rate
 
and
 
a
 
future
 
interest
 
rate,
 
applied
 
to
 
a
 
notional
 
principal
 
amount.
 
The
settlement, which
 
generally occurs
 
at the
 
start of
 
the contract
 
period, is
 
the discounted
 
present value
 
of the
 
payment that
 
would
otherwise be made at the end of that period.
‘Interest rate
 
risk’

‘Internal
 
Assessment
 
Approach
 
(IAA)’
One
 
of
 
three
 
types
 
of
 
calculation
 
that
 
a
 
bank
 
with
 
permission
 
to
 
use
 
the
 
Internal
 
Ratings
Based (IRB) approach
 
may apply
 
to securitisation exposures.
 
It consists
 
of mapping a
 
bank's internal rating
 
methodology for
 
credit
exposures
 
to
 
those
 
of
 
an
 
External
 
Credit
 
Assessment
 
Institution
 
(ECAI)
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
appropriate
 
risk
 
weight
 
based
 
on
 
the
ratings based approach. Its applicability is limited to ABCP programmes related
 
to liquidity facilities and credit enhancement.
‘Internal
 
Capital
 
Adequacy
 
Assessment
 
Process
 
(ICAAP)’
Companies
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
perform
 
a
 
formal
 
Internal
 
Capital
 
Adequacy
Assessment Process (ICAAP) as
 
part of the Pillar 2 requirements
 
(BIPRU) and to provide
 
this document to the PRA
 
on a yearly basis.

summarises the Barclays
 
Group’s
 
risk management

Pillar 1 and non-Pillar 1 risks); and, the Barclays Group’s
 
risk appetite, economic capital and stress testing frameworks.
 
‘Internal Ratings
 
Based (IRB)’
 
An approach
 
under the
 
CRR framework
 
that relies
 
on the
 
bank’s
 
internal models
 
to
 
derive the
 
risk
weights. The IRB approach is divided into two alternative applications,
 
Advanced and Foundation:
 
Advanced IRB
 
(A-IRB): the
 
bank uses its
 
own estimates
 
of probability
 
of default
 
(PD), loss
 
given default
 
(LGD) and
 
credit
conversion factor to model a given risk exposure.
 
Foundation IRB: the bank applies
 
its own PD as for
 
Advanced, but it uses standard
 
parameters for
 
the LGD and the
 
credit
conversion
 
factor.
 
The
 
Foundation
 
IRB
 
approach
 
is
 
specifically
 
designed
 
for
 
wholesale
 
credit
 
exposures.
 
Hence
 
retail,
equity, securitisation positions and non-credit obligations asset
 
exposures are treated under standardised or A-IRB.

‘Qualifying central bank claims’
An amount calculated in line with
 
the PRA policy statement allowing

Revolving
 
Retail
 
Exposure
 
(QRRE)’
 
In
 
the

credit
 
risk
 
RWA
 
calculations,
 
an
 
exposure
meeting the criteria set out in BIPRU 4.6.42 R (2). It includes most types of credit card exposure.

full
 
arrears
 
(principal,
 
interest
 
and
fees).
‘Real
 
Estate
 
Mortgage
 
Investment
 
Conduits
 
(REMICs)’

the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
offers
 
a
 
concessionary
 
rate
 
of
 
interest
 
to
 
genuinely
 
distressed
borrowers. This will result in the
 
asset continuing to be overdue and
 
will be individually impaired where the renegotiated
 
payments
of interest
 
and principal will
 
not recover
 
the original carrying
 
amount of
 
the asset. In
 
other cases, renegotiation
 
will lead to

model enables
 
Barclays
 
to separate
 
risk management
 
activities
between those client facing areas
 
of the Barclays Group
 
and associated support functions responsible
 
for identifying risk, operating
within applicable limits
 
and escalating
 
risk events
 
(first line);
 
colleagues in
 
Risk and Compliance
 
who establish
 
the limits,
 
rules and
constraints
 
under which
 
the first
 
line operates
 
and monitors
 
their performance
 
against those
 
limits and
 
constraints
 
(second line);
and,
 
colleagues
 
in
 
Internal
 
Audit
 
who
 
provide
 
assurance
 
to
 
the

governance,
 
risk
 
management
 
and

any
 
of
 
the
 
three
 
lines,
 
but
supports them
 
all. The
 
Legal function
 
is, however,
 
subject to
 
oversight
 
from Risk

the asset
 
or it
 
is deemed
 
immaterial
 
or full
 
and final
 
settlement
 
is reached
 
and the
 
shortfall written
 
off.
 
In the
event of write-off,
 
the customer balance is removed from the balance
 
sheet and the impairment allowance held against
 
the asset is
released. Net write-offs represent gross write-offs
 
less post write-off recoveries.
 
‘Wrong-way
 
risk’
Arises,
 
in
 
a
 
trading
 
exposure,
 
when
 
there
 
is
 
significant
 
correlation
 
between
 
the
 
underlying
 
asset
 
and
 
the
counterparty, which in the event
 
of default would lead to a significant mark to market
 
loss. When assessing the credit exposure of a
wrong-way
 
trade,
 
analysts
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
correlation
 
between
 
the
 
counterparty
 
and
 
the
 
underlying
 
asset
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
sanctioning process.
