• US cards growth in 2021 includes $0.6bn AARP portfolio acquisition and 

organic balance build

• The scenario above assumes a 25bps parallel shift in interest rates, with 
the additional benefit in years 2 and 3, primarily reflecting the structural 
hedge being reinvested in higher yielding swaps

• Around two thirds of the Group income benefit from the illustrative 25bps 

• Recovery in spending expected to drive growth in unsecured lending 

upward parallel shift is in BUK, with the remaining in BI

balances

•

Expect income headwinds from higher acquisition costs as new accounts 
and balances grow, particularly in the US

• Given the move in the yield curve and increase in hedge notional, the 

structural hedge contribution in FY22 is currently expected to be higher 
than in FY21

• Quality of the liquidity pool remains high, with the majority held in cash 
and deposits with central banks, and highly rated government bonds

• The increase in liquidity pool was driven by continued deposit growth, 
borrowing from the Bank of England’s Term Funding Scheme with 
additional incentives for SMEs, and an increase in wholesale funding, which 
were partly offset by an increase in business funding consumption

Outlook

Income

• Barclays’ diversified income streams position the Group well for the ongoing economic recovery 

and rising interest rates

Impairment

• Impairment charge is expected to remain below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in coming 

quarters given reduced unsecured lending balances and an improved macroeconomic outlook

Costs

• Inflationary pressures and planned investment spend are expected to result in FY22 costs 

excluding structural cost actions and performance costs being modestly higher than £12.0bn1

Capital

• The CET1 ratio is expected to be impacted by c.80bps of regulatory changes which took effect 

from 1 January 2022

Capital returns

• Capital returns policy incorporates a progressive ordinary dividend, supplemented as 

appropriate, including with share buybacks

1 Group cost outlook is based on an average rate of 1.35 (USD/GBP) in 2022 and subject to foreign currency movements |

Structural hedge program update

• The Group’s combined gross equity and product structural hedge

contribution was £371m in Q421 (Q321: £353m)

• The combined structural hedge notional as at Dec-21 was £228bn, an
increase of £4bn from Sep-21 and a £57bn increase from Dec-19

– The £57bn increase in structural hedge notional is relative to an

increase in Group deposits of £103bn since Dec-19

• The average duration of the structural hedge remains at close to 3

years

•

FY21 gross structural hedge income across the Group was £1,415m,
£236m lower than FY20

– Given the move in the yield curve and increase in hedge notional,
the structural hedge contribution in FY22 is currently expected to
be higher than in FY21

Impact of parallel shifts 
in interest rate curves (£m) 

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3

• Around two thirds of the Group income benefit from the illustrative 25bps 

upward parallel shift is in BUK, with the remaining in BI

• This analysis assumes an instantaneous parallel shift in interest rate curves

25bps upward

c.275

c.375

c.525

25bps downward

c.(450)

c.(575)

c.(700)

• The sensitivity is calculated using a constant balance sheet - i.e. maturing 

business is reinvested at a consistent tenor and margin

• Actual pricing decisions made in the event of rate rises or falls may differ 

from those shown in the illustrative scenarios. In the event of multiple rate 
rises, the pass-through may vary over time

• Pass-through is limited on the downward scenario, as customer rates are 
floored at 0% for GBP and USD deposits2, including when the downward 
scenario reflects negative base rates

•

It does not apply floors to shocked market rates, thus reflecting, for 
illustrative purposes, the impact of negative base rates on Group NII in the 
downward scenario

• This sensitivity is not a forecast of interest rate expectations, and Barclays’ 
pricing decisions in the event of an interest rate change may differ from the 
assumptions underlying this sensitivity. Accordingly, in the event of an 
interest rate change the actual impact on Group NII may differ from that 
presented in this analysis

1 This sensitivity is based on the modelled performance of the consumer and corporate banking book, and includes the impact of both the product and equity structural hedges. It provides the annual impact on Group NII over the next three years, for illustrative purposes only, 
and is based on a number of assumptions regarding variables which are subject to change. Such assumptions might also differ from those underlying the AEaR calculation in the Annual Report | 2 With regards to the relatively modest balance of EUR deposits that are currently 
subject to charging, no incremental pass-through of further rates reductions are assumed in the illustrative scenario |

– IFRS 9 modified transitional relief applies to Stage 1 and 2 impairments

– Transitional basis of capital remains the relevant measure for our capital adequacy assessment by regulators

– Total post-tax IFRS 9 transitional relief is expected to reduce by c.15bps to c.25bps from 1 Jan 2022

Pension deficit reduction contributions

CET1 ratio headwinds from pension reduction contributions fully incorporated into prudent capital plan and CET1 target

• As at 31 December 2021, the Group’s IAS 19 pension surplus across all schemes was £3.6bn (December 2020: £1.5bn). The UK Retirement Fund 
(UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had an IAS 19 pension surplus of £3.8bn (December 2020: £1.8bn). The movement for the UKRF was 
driven by £700m of deficit contributions, higher corporate bond yields and favourable asset returns, partially offset by higher expected long term 
price inflation

• The latest annual update as at 30 September 2021 showed the funding position had improved to a £0.6bn surplus from a £0.9bn deficit as at 30 
September 2020. The improvement was mainly due to £0.7bn of deficit reduction contributions and favourable asset returns, partially offset by 
higher expectations for future price inflation

Disclaimer

Important Notice
The terms Barclays or Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. The information, statements and opinions contained in this presentation do not constitute a public offer under any applicable legislation, an offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy any securities or financial instruments, or any advice or 
recommendation with respect to such securities or other financial instruments.

Information relating to:

•

•

•

regulatory capital, leverage, liquidity and resolution is based on Barclays’ interpretation of applicable rules and regulations as currently in force and implemented in the UK, including, but not limited to, CRD IV (as amended by CRD V applicable as at the reporting date) and CRR (as amended by CRR II applicable as at the
reporting date) texts and any applicable delegated acts, implementing acts or technical standards and as such rules and regulations form part of UK law pursuant to the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018, subject to the temporary transitional powers (TTP) available to UK regulators to delay or phase-in on-shoring changes to UK
regulatory requirements between 31 December 2020 and 31 March 2022. Throughout the TTP period, the Bank of England and the PRA are expected to review the UK legislation framework and any disclosures made by the Group will be subject to any resulting guidance. All such regulatory requirements are subject to
change. References herein to ‘CRR as amended by CRR II’ mean, unless otherwise specified, CRR as amended by CRR II, as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and as amended by the Financial Services Act 2021 and subject to the TTP, as at the applicable reporting date;
MREL is based on Barclays' understanding of the Bank of England's policy statement on "The Bank of England's approach to setting a minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)" published in December 2021, updating the Bank of England's June 2018 policy statement, and its MREL requirements
communicated to Barclays by the Bank of England. Binding future MREL requirements remain subject to change including at the conclusion of the transitional period, as determined by the Bank of England, taking into account a number of factors as described in the policy, along with international developments. The Pillar
2A requirement is also subject to at least annual review;
future regulatory capital, liquidity, funding and/or MREL, including forward-looking illustrations, are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not forecasts of Barclays’ results of operations or capital position or otherwise. Illustrations regarding the capital flight path, end-state capital evolution and expectations and
MREL build are based on certain assumptions applicable at the date of publication only which cannot be assured and are subject to change.

Important Information
In preparing the ESG information in this FY 2021 Results Presentation we have:

(i) made a number of key judgements, estimations and assumptions, and the processes and issues involved are complex. This is for example the case in relation to financed emissions, portfolio alignment, and classification of environmental and social financing.

(ii) used ESG and climate data, models and methodologies that we consider to be appropriate and suitable for these purposes as at the date on which they were deployed. However, these data, models and methodologies are not of the same standard as those available in the context of other financial information, nor subject to the
same or equivalent disclosure standards, historical reference points, benchmarks or globally accepted accounting principles. There is an inability to rely on historical data as a strong indicator of future trajectories, in the case of climate change and its evolution. Outputs of models, processed data and methodologies will also be
affected by underlying data quality which can be hard to assess.

(iii) reproduced certain data assured by KPMG in the Annual Report. Barclays appointed KPMG to perform limited independent assurance over selected ESG content in the Annual Report which has been marked in the Annual Report with the symbol Δ. The assurance engagement was planned and performed in accordance with the
International Standard on Assurance Engagements (UK) 3000 Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3410 Assurance of Greenhouse Gas Statements. A limited assurance opinion was issued, which includes details of the
scope, reporting criteria, respective responsibilities, work performed, limitations and conclusion, and is available on our ESG resource hub at: https://home.barclays/ sustainability/esg-resourcehub/. Certain data assured by KPMG in the Annual Report has been reproduced in this FY 2021 Results Presentation. This is marked in this
FY2021 Results Presentation with the symbol Δ. No other information in this FY2021 Results Presentation has been subject to external assurance or audit.

(iv) the data, models and methodologies used and the judgements estimates or assumptions made are rapidly evolving and this may directly or indirectly affect the metrics, data points and targets contained in this FY 2021 Results Presentation. We continue to review and develop our approach to data, models and methodologies in
line with market principles and standards as this subject area matures. Further development of accounting and/or reporting standards could impact (potentially materially) the performance metrics, data points and targets contained in this report. In future reports or presentations we may present some or all of the information for this
reporting period using updated or more granular data or improved models, methodologies, market practices or standards. Such re-presented information may result in different outcomes than those included in this FY 2021 Results Presentation. Where information is re-presented from time to time, we will identify this and (where we
think it is appropriate) include an explanation. It is important for readers and users of this presentation to be aware that direct like-for-like comparisons of each piece of information disclosed may not always be possible from one reporting period to another.

Forward-looking Statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future 
performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes 
use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’,
‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by members of the management of the Group (including, without limitation, during management presentations to financial analysts) in connection with this 
document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including dividend pay-out 
ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets (including, without limitation, environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and targets), estimates of capital expenditures, plans and objectives for future 
operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS impacts and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. The forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-
looking statements may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: 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, emerging and developing ESG reporting standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory 
authorities, the Group’s ability along with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively, environmental, social and geopolitical risks, and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage 
and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone
and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings 
of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; direct and indirect impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; instability as a result of the UK’s exit from the European Union (“EU”), the effects of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and 
globally; the risk of cyber-attacks, information or security breaches or technology failures
on the Group’s reputation, business or operations; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual financial position, future results, capital distributions, capital, leverage or other regulatory ratios 
or other financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures or 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 fiscal year ended 31 December 2021), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. 

Subject to Barclays’ 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.

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. Non-IFRS performance measures are defined and reconciliations are available on our results announcement for the period ended 31 December 2021.
