Q1 2025 Results Announcement

31 March 2025

 

Notes

 

The terms Barclays and Group refer to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the three months ended 31 March 2025 to the corresponding three months of 2024 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 March 2025 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2024 and 31 March 2024. 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, which can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations.

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 April 2025, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, which contain an unmodified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which does not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

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

Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal roadshows and other ad hoc meetings. Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Group.

 

Non-IFRS performance measures

Barclays' management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses' performance between financial periods and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays' management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 41 to 48 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 environmental, social and governance ("ESG") 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); 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 anti-ESG rules and regulations, or other forms of governmental and regulatory action against ESG 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 Ukraine and the Middle East on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; political elections, including the impact of the US elections in 2024 and subsequent changes in 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 Group's ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions (including the acquisition of Tesco Bank completed in November 2024), 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 2024-2026, 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 2024), 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.

Group Finance Director's Review

 

Q125 Group performance

•      Barclays delivered a profit before tax of £2,719m (Q124: £2,277m), RoTE of 14.0% (Q124: 12.3%) and EPS of 13.0p (Q124: 10.3p)

•      The Group has a diverse income profile across businesses and geographies including a significant presence in the US. The average GBP/USD exchange rate in Q125 was broadly the same as prior year. The strengthening of the spot GBP/USD exchange rate since December 20241 reduced the value of USD denominated assets and liabilities

•      Group statutory income increased 11% to £7,709m (Q124: £6,953m), driven by higher structural hedge income, higher income in Global Markets, particularly in FICC, and Tesco Bank

•      Group total operating expenses increased to £4,365m (Q124: £4,175m). Group operating costs increased 7% to £4,258m, reflecting Tesco Bank costs, further investment spend and business growth, inflation and the c.£50m expense for the employee share grant announced at FY24 Results, partially offset by c.£150m of cost efficiency savings

•      Credit impairment charges increased to £643m (Q124: £513m), primarily driven by a post model adjustment of net £74m for elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty, and stage migration impact for Tesco Bank post day 1 acquisition. Total coverage ratio remains stable at 1.2% (December 2024: 1.2%)

•      The effective tax rate (ETR) was 22.8% (Q124: 20.4%). The Q124 ETR was lower as a result of tax benefits in that period

•      Attributable profit was £1,864m (Q124: £1,550m)

•      Total assets increased to £1,593.5bn (December 2024: £1,518.2bn), driven by an increase in trading activity in IB and an increase in the liquidity pool from increased deposits and wholesale funding. This was partially offset by a reduction in derivatives

•      TNAV per share increased to 372p (December 2024: 357p) including EPS of 13.0p. An increase in the cash flow hedging reserve was partially offset by a movement in the currency translation reserve

 

Group capital and leverage

•      The CET1 ratio increased by c.30bps to 13.9% (December 2024: 13.6%) as CET1 capital increased by £0.2bn to £48.8bn and RWAs decreased by £6.8bn to £351.3bn:

-    c.50bps increase from attributable profit

-    c.40bps decrease driven by shareholder distributions including the £1.0bn share buyback announced with FY24 Results and an accrual towards the FY25 dividend 

-    c.10bps increase from other CET1 capital movements

-    c.10bps increase as a result of a £3.7bn decrease in RWAs, excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, primarily driven by the disposal of the German consumer finance business

-    A £0.5bn decrease in CET1 capital due to a decrease in the currency translation reserve was broadly offset by a £3.1bn decrease in RWAs as a result of foreign exchange movements 

•      The UK leverage ratio remained stable at 5.0% (December 2024: 5.0%), as leverage exposure increased by £46.3bn to £1,252.8bn (December 2024: £1,206.5bn) partially offset by an increase in Tier 1 capital of £1.4bn. The increase in leverage exposure was largely driven by an increase in trading activity in IB

 

Group funding and liquidity

•      The liquidity metrics remain well 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 £336.3bn, an increase of £39.4bn from December 2024 (£296.9bn). The increase in the liquidity pool was primarily driven by deposit growth in IB, UKCB and PBWM, and in term wholesale funding

•      The average2 LCR increased to 175.3% (December 2024: 172.4%), equivalent to a surplus of £132.0bn (December 2024: £127.6bn)

•      Total deposits increased by £13.6bn to £574.3bn (December 2024: £560.7bn), driven by inflows of customer deposits in IB, PBWM and UKCB

•      The average3 Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 136.2% (December 2024: 134.9%), which represents a £169.5bn surplus (December 2024: £162.9bn) above the 100% regulatory requirement

•      Wholesale funding outstanding, excluding repurchase agreements, was £195.6bn (December 2024: £186.0bn)

•      The Group issued £6.9bn equivalent of minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments from Barclays PLC (the Parent company) in Q125. The Group has a strong MREL position with a ratio of 36.2%, which is in excess of the regulatory requirement of 30.7% plus a confidential, institution specific, PRA buffer

Other matters

•      Disposal of German consumer finance business: In Q125, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC announced the completion of the sale of its German consumer finance business to BAWAG P.S.K., a wholly owned subsidiary of BAWAG Group AG. The sale released c.£3.3bn of RWAs, increasing Barclays' CET1 ratio by c.10bps in Q125

•      Long-term strategic partnership for Payment Acceptance business: On 17 April 2025, Barclays announced it had entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Brookfield Asset Management Ltd to grow and transform Barclays' Payment Acceptance business, previously referred to as the merchant acquiring business

Following the completion of the acquisition on 1 November 2024, Tesco Bank is reported in Personal Banking.

 

Barclays UK delivered a RoTE of 17.4% (Q124: 18.5%) supported by robust income, strong asset quality and disciplined cost management, with continued investment in delivering a simpler, better and more balanced retail bank.

 

Income statement - Q125 compared to Q124

•      Profit before tax increased 7% to £756m

•      Total income increased 14% to £2,074m. NII increased 18% to £1,822m, as continued structural hedge momentum and the impact from the acquisition of Tesco Bank was partially offset by adverse deposit dynamics, which stabilised through 2024, and mortgage margin compression. Net fee, commission and other income decreased 9% to £252m

•      Total operating expenses increased 9% to £1,160m, driven by Tesco Bank costs and inflation. Ongoing efficiency savings continue to be reinvested, to drive sustainable improvement to the cost: income ratio

•      Credit impairment charges were £158m (Q124: £58m), driven by stage migration impact for Tesco Bank post day 1 acquisition, consistent low delinquencies in UK cards and high quality mortgage lending portfolio. UK cards (excluding Tesco Bank) 30 and 90 day arrears remained low at 0.7% (Q124: 0.9%) and 0.2% (Q124: 0.2%) respectively. The UK cards total coverage ratio increased to 4.9% (December 2024: 4.8%) due to stage migration in Tesco Bank

 

Balance sheet - 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024

•      Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased by £1.9bn to £209.6bn, primarily driven by growth in mortgage lending, partially offset by continued repayment of government scheme lending in Business Banking

•      Customer deposits at amortised cost decreased by £1.1bn to £243.1bn, driven by a reduction in retail savings and Business Banking current account balances due to seasonality. The loan: deposit ratio remained stable at 93% (December 2024: 92%)

•      RWAs increased to £85.0bn (December 2024: £84.5bn) primarily due to mortgage lending growth

UKCB delivered a RoTE of 17.1% (Q124: 15.2%), as increased income from higher average deposits and lending balances was partially offset by continuing investment to support future growth ambitions.

 

Income statement - Q125 compared to Q124

•      Profit before tax increased 23% to £207m

•      Total income increased 12% to £484m. Net interest income increased 23% to £342m driven by higher average deposits and lending balances. Net fee, commission, trading and other income decreased 10% to £142m due to the non-repeat of prior year one-off gains

•      Total operating expenses increased 3% to £258m, reflecting higher investment spend to support business growth ambitions with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds

•      Credit impairment charges were £19m (Q124: £15m), driven by stable underlying credit performance and limited single name charges

 

Balance sheet - 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024

•      Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased to £26.7bn (December 2024: £25.4bn), reflecting the strategic focus to grow customer lending

•      Customer deposits at amortised cost increased to £85.3bn (December 2024: £83.1bn), driven by an inflow of balances from new and existing customers

•      RWAs were broadly stable at £24.2bn (December 2024: £23.9bn)

PBWM delivered a RoTE of 34.5% (Q124: 28.7%), as strong growth in income due to continued inflow of client balances was partially offset by continued investment in people, product and platform.

 

Income statement - Q125 compared to Q124

•      Profit before tax increased 28% to £122m

•      Total income increased 12% to £349m driven by growth in deposits and invested asset balances from net new inflows and market movements, along with higher transactional activity due to market volatility

•      Total operating expenses increased 9% to £236m, reflecting higher investment spend to support business growth ambitions with ongoing efficiency savings offsetting inflationary headwinds

 

Balance sheet - 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024

•      Client assets and liabilities increased £3.5bn to £212.4bn, driven by net new deposits and assets under management inflows, partially offset by the impact of FX and market movements

•      RWAs were stable at £8.0bn (December 2024: £7.9bn)

IB delivered a RoTE of 16.2% (Q124: 12.0%) with Markets and Investment Banking supporting clients in a volatile environment. This was supported by improved RWA productivity and positive operating jaws.

 

Income statement - Q125 compared to Q124

•      Profit before tax increased to £1,710m (Q124: £1,339m)

•      Total income increased 16% to £3,873m

-    Global Markets income increased 16% to £2,662m driven by increased income across FICC and Equities

-   FICC income increased 21% to £1,699m, reflecting increased volatility and client activity, including a strong performance in Macro and Securitised Products, and continued strength in Financing

-   Equities income increased 9% to £963m, (27% excluding the prior year £125m fair value gain on Visa B shares), reflecting elevated volatility and client activity in Derivatives and growth in Prime

-    Investment Banking income increased 16% to £1,211m

-   Banking fees and underwriting income increased 4% to £644m reflecting increased market share1

-   International Corporate Bank income increased 34% to £567m. Corporate lending income increased to £156m due to fair value gains on leverage finance lending (c.£105m). Transaction banking income increased 8% to £411m, as higher income from growth in deposit balances was partially offset by margin compression due to change in deposits product mix

•      Total operating expenses increased 5% to £2,091m driven by the impact of inflation, partially offset by efficiency savings

•      Credit impairment charges were £72m (Q124: £10m release), primarily driven by a post model adjustment of net £36m for elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty, and single name charges including the benefit of credit protection

 

Balance sheet - 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024

•      Loans and advances at amortised costs increased £4.7bn to £129.1bn (December £124.4bn), driven by stable lending and increased investment in debt securities in treasury

•      Trading portfolio assets increased £19.4bn to £185.5bn (December £166.1bn), driven by increased trading in debt securities to facilitate client demand in Global Markets

•      Derivative assets decreased £38.0bn to £253.6bn and liabilities decreased £33.9bn to £245.1bn, primarily driven by decreased mark-to-market value on FX derivatives as a result of USD depreciation in Q125

•      Deposits at amortised cost increased £8.4bn to £148.9bn, driven by growth in deposits across the business

•      RWAs decreased to £195.9bn (December 2024: £198.8bn) mainly driven by FX as GBP strengthened against USD, with lower credit risk offset by higher market risk as we continued to support clients through a period of volatility

USCB delivered a RoTE of 4.5% (Q124: 5.3%), as income improvement and broadly stable delinquencies were offset by higher costs and the inclusion of a post model adjustment for elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty.

 

Income statement - Q125 compared to Q124

•      Profit before tax was £55m (Q124: £59m)

•      Total income increased 1% to £864m, as underlying business growth was offset by the non-repeat of a gain on sale and foregone interest income from $1.1bn receivables sold to Blackstone in Q124. NII reduced 1% to £678m reflecting margin compression from the lower interest rate environment. Net fee, commission and other income increased 9% to £186m driven by account and purchase growth as well as benefits from interest rate hedges which offset the margin compression in NII

•      Total operating expenses increased 5% to £410m, driven by business growth and inflation, partially offset by efficiency savings

•      Credit impairment charges were £399m (Q124: £410m), including a post model adjustment of £38m for elevated US macroeconomic uncertainty, with broadly stable delinquencies in US cards. US cards 30 and 90 day arrears were 3.0%1 (Q124: 3.1%) and 1.6%1 (Q124: 1.7%) respectively. The USCB total coverage ratio was 12.0% (December 2024: 11.4%)

 

Balance sheet - 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024

•      Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost reduced to £18.8bn (December 2024: £20.0bn), reflecting a decrease in receivables due to seasonality and the strengthening of GBP against USD

•      Customer deposits at amortised cost increased to £23.8bn (December 2024: £23.3bn), with growth in underlying retail savings which is in line with USCB's ambition to grow core deposits, partially offset by the strengthening of GBP against USD

•      RWAs decreased to £25.6bn (December 2024: £26.8bn), driven by decreased balances due to seasonality and the strengthening of GBP against USD

Income statement - Q125 compared to Q124

•      Loss before tax was £131m (Q124: £89m)

•      Total income decreased to £65m (Q124: £194m), primarily from the non-recurrence of the prior year gain on disposal of a legacy investment and the impact of the disposal of the German consumer finance business in early Q125

•      Total operating expenses decreased to £210m (Q124: £255m), primarily from lower litigation and conduct charges and the impact of the disposal of the German consumer finance business in early Q125, partially offset by the c.£50m expense for the employee share grant announced at FY24 Results

•      Credit impairment charges decreased to £4m (Q124: £40m), driven by the disposal of the German consumer finance business in early Q125 and the disposal of the Italian mortgage portfolios in FY24

 

Balance sheet - 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024

•      RWAs decreased to £12.7bn (December 2024: £16.2bn), primarily driven by the disposal of the German consumer finance business

The Group excluding IB and Head Office Net interest margin (NIM) increased by 39bps from 4.12% in Q124 to 4.51% in Q125, due to continued structural hedge momentum, and the impact from the acquisition of Tesco Bank, partially offset by higher average customer assets.

Average customer assets includes held for sale balances generating net interest income.

 

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 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 hedge reserve.

 

Overall the Group has external derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that hedge interest rate risk with a notional £103.7bn (December 2024: £105.6bn) which reflects the structural hedge notional of £232.2bn (December 2024: £232.3bn) netted with non-structural hedging positions of £128.5bn (December 2024: £126.7bn). The majority of these interest rate swaps are cleared with Central Clearing Counterparties and margined daily with an average structural hedge duration of 3 years.

 

Gross structural hedge contributions in Q125 were £1,335m (Q124: £1,066m). Gross structural hedge contributions 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 performance 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 by stages of loans and advances at amortised cost and the impairment allowance, including purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) balances. POCI balances represent a fixed pool of assets purchased at a deep discount to face value reflecting credit losses incurred from the point of origination to date of acquisition. Also included are stage allocation of debt securities and off-balance sheet loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by gross exposure, impairment allowance and coverage ratio.

 

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 corporate 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 ECL charge were refreshed in Q125 with the Baseline scenario reflecting the latest consensus macroeconomic forecasts available at the time of the scenario refresh. In the Baseline scenario, following a somewhat encouraging 2024, the growth in the UK economy is gradually slowing when compared to consensus at FY24, though restrictive monetary policy continues to loosen. UK and US GDP growth in 2025 is expected to be 1.0% and 2.4%, respectively. Labour markets in major economies remain broadly resilient with unemployment rates relatively close to historic lows and are only expected to increase moderately. The UK unemployment rate peaks at 4.5% where it remains for most of the 5-year projection period. US unemployment peaks at 4.3%. The Bank of England cuts rates by 25bps three times in 2025 and once more in 2026. The Fed follows a slower pace of monetary policy loosening and finishes 2025 with rates at 4.3%. As lower rates feed into new mortgages, UK house prices stabilise and resume the upward trend from 2025. US house prices continue to grow at a decent pace.

 

The Downside 2 scenario has been broadly aligned to the Group's 2024 Internal Stress Test. Under this scenario, the restrictive monetary policy seen over the last few years coupled with a loss of consumer and business confidence amid persistent inflation leads to a sharp contraction in economic activity. A sustained drop in consumer spending due to high household debt levels and affordability loss amid stagnant wages leads to a significant reduction in aggregate demand. The economic slowdown leads to rising unemployment rates as lay-offs intensify. UK and US unemployment peaks at 8.4% and 7.5% respectively, during 2026. In order to support the economy, Central banks start to reduce rates. In the Upside 2 scenario, 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 rates stabilise and start falling again. As geopolitical tensions ease, low inflation supports consumer purchasing power and contributes further to a healthy GDP growth. The strong economic outlook and lower interest rates provide a boost to house prices growth and support bullish financial markets.

 

The methodology for estimating scenario probability 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 median is centred around the Baseline with scenarios further from the Baseline attracting a lower weighting before the five weights are normalised to total 100%. The increases in the Upside scenario weightings were driven by the improvement in US GDP in the Baseline scenario, bringing the Baseline scenario closer to the Upside scenarios. For further details see page 32.

 

The Group continues to monitor the heightened uncertainty in the near-term macroeconomic outlook, especially in the US. The broadening range of outcomes coupled with a perceived lag in consensus suggests that a greater weighting than that used in the modelled ECL output (see below) should be applied to the Group's Downside scenarios to reflect the macroeconomic uncertainty. In response, a gross £91m uncertainty PMA (a £74m income statement impact net of SRT credit protection1) has been booked in Q125 across the US Consumer Bank (£38m) and the Investment Bank (gross/net SRT1 £53m/£36m). This adjustment reflects a point in time impact based on the balance sheet as at 31 March 2025 for the uncertainty around macroeconomic variables. It does not factor in future changes in customer utilisation or management actions the Group might take to mitigate credit risk.

 

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

Regulatory minimum requirements

Capital

 

As at 31 March 2025, the Group's Overall Capital Requirement for CET1 increased to 12.2% following the latest PRA Individual Capital Requirement (ICR) notice and comprises 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 updated Pillar 2A requirement increased by 23bps to 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 31 March 2025, the Group was subject to a UK leverage ratio requirement of 4.1%. 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 0.3%. 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 31 March 2025, 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 25.7% of RWAs; and (ii) 6.75% of leverage exposures. In addition, the higher of regulatory capital and leverage buffers apply. CET1 capital cannot be counted towards both MREL and the buffers, meaning that the buffers, including the above mentioned confidential institution-specific PRA buffer, will effectively be applied above MREL requirements.

31 December 2024 UK leverage ratios have been calculated by applying the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements in accordance with UK CRR. Effective from 1 January 2025, the IFRS 9 transitional arrangements no longer applied.

2

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 £6.6bn and against the 0.3% CCLB was £3.8bn.

 

The UK leverage ratio remained stable at 5.0% (December 2024: 5.0%), as the leverage exposure increased by £46.3bn to £1,252.8bn (December 2024: £1,206.5bn) partially offset by an increase in T1 capital of £1.4bn. The increase in leverage exposure was largely driven by an increase in trading activity in IB.

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.
