Notes
The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the twelve months to 31 December 2013 to the corresponding twelve months of 2012 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 December with comparatives relating to 31 December 2012. The abbreviations 'GBPm' and 'GBPbn' 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; 'EURm' and 'EURbn' represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively; and 'C$m' and 'C$bn' represent millions and thousands of millions of Canadian Dollars respectively.
The comparatives have been restated to reflect the implementation of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011), the reallocation of elements of the Head Office results to businesses and portfolio restatements between businesses, as detailed in our announcement on 16 April 2013. The consolidated financial statements of the Group included in the joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC for the year ended 31 December 2012 were restated to show the effects of the adoption of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011) on 1 January 2013 in accordance with their transition guidance and not to reflect events subsequent to 5 March 2013, the date of the approval of the 31 December 2012 financial statements. The Group's segmental disclosures required by IFRS 8 Operating Segments were also restated. The restated consolidated financial statements of the Group were filed with the SEC on Form 6-K on 6 September 2013.
Adjusted profit before tax and adjusted performance metrics have been presented to provide a more consistent basis for comparing business performance between periods. Adjusting items are considered to be significant and not representative of the underlying business performance. Items excluded from the adjusted measures are: the impact of own credit; disposal of the investment in BlackRock, Inc.; the provision for Payment Protection Insurance redress payments and claims management costs (PPI redress); the provision for interest rate hedging products redress and claims management costs (interest rate hedging products redress); and goodwill impairment.
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 www.Barclays.com/results.
In accordance with Barclays' policy to provide meaningful disclosures that help investors and other stakeholders understand the financial position, performance and changes in the financial position of the Group, and having regard to the British Bankers' Association Disclosure Code and the Enhanced Disclosure Task Force recommendations, the information provided in this report goes beyond minimum requirements. Barclays continues to develop its financial reporting considering best practice and welcomes feedback from investors, regulators and other stakeholders on the disclosures that they would find most useful.
The Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority (LR 9.7A.1) require that preliminary statements of annual results must be agreed with the listed company's auditors prior to publication, even though an audit opinion has not yet been issued. In addition, the Listing Rules require such statements to give details of the nature of any likely modification or emphasis of matter that may be contained in the auditors' report to be included with the annual report and accounts. Barclays PLC confirms that it has agreed this preliminary statement of annual results with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and that the Board of Directors has not been made aware of any likely modification or emphasis of matter to the auditors' report to be included with the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013.
The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 10 February 2014 does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the SEC and which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 and which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.
These results will be furnished as a Form 6-K to the SEC as soon as practicable following their publication.

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 certain of the Group's plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition and performance. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results 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. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Group's future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges and provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the Transform Programme, deleveraging actions, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations 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. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), 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 (including with regard to the future structure of the Group) applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, United States, Africa, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued 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 the Group; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the implementation of the Transform Programme; 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 future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially
from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors are identified in our filings with the SEC including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2012, and in the Form 6-K (Film No. 131097818) dated 16 September 2013, both of which are available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are made and it should not be assumed that they have been revised or updated in the light of new information or future events. Except as required by the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, the London Stock Exchange plc (LSE) or applicable law, Barclays expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Barclays' expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Barclays has made or may make in documents it has published or may publish via the Regulatory News Service of the LSE and/or has filed or may file with the SEC.
Performance Highlights
"2013 has been a year of considerable change for Barclays. I am pleased with the progress we made in starting to rebuild trust, defining and implementing a common culture, repositioning the business for the future, and strengthening our balance sheet.
A year on from launching our plan to transform Barclays into the Go-To bank for all our stakeholders, we are in a significantly better position and I feel confident about our prospects.
Despite challenging conditions, our underlying performance has been resilient and momentum is building, as evidenced by the results we are reporting this morning.
Our UK Retail and Corporate Banking businesses delivered good results, alongside the continued strong growth of Barclaycard. Within the Investment Bank, an impressive performance in Equities and in Investment Banking has helped to partially offset lower income from our Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities business. We have also started to make important progress in repositioning our African, European and Wealth businesses to improve returns. This performance has translated into income of GBP28.2bn in the year, and adjusted profit before tax of GBP5.2bn.
However, profits have been impacted by the restructuring and de-risking activity we completed during the year. This included withdrawing from certain lines of business, investing to transform our operations and resolving legacy conduct and litigation issues. The cost of these actions suppressed statutory profits to GBP2.9bn in the year but was in the long term interest of our shareholders.
Additionally, we have made significant progress with strengthening of our capital base year over year, through the rights issue and issuance of Additional Tier 1 securities. Combined with our substantial deleveraging actions in the second half of the year, we are ahead of our schedule to achieve the PRA leverage ratio expectation in June 2014.
While we have more work to do to achieve our goal of becoming the Go-To bank, I believe that we begin 2014 in a better position than we have been for many years."
Antony Jenkins, Group Chief Executive
Performance Highlights
Income Statement
- Adjusted profit before tax was down 32% to GBP5,167m due to costs to achieve Transform and a 4% reduction in income. Q413 adjusted profit before tax was down GBP1,194m against Q313 to GBP191m, including the impact of GBP331m of charges for litigation and regulatory penalties in the Investment Bank, UK bank levy of GBP504m (Q313: GBPnil), and GBP468m of costs to achieve Transform (Q313: GBP101m)
- Statutory profit before tax improved to GBP2,868m (2012: GBP797m), reflecting a reduced own credit charge of GBP220m (2012: GBP4,579m)
Income Performance
- Adjusted income decreased 4% to GBP28,155m, reflecting a reduction of GBP1,042m in the Investment Bank and GBP480m in the Head Office
- Investment Bank income was down 9% to GBP10,733m driven by a decrease in FICC and Exit Quadrant assets income, including a current year reversal of GBP111m income relating to a litigation matter in Q413. These decreases were partially offset by increases in Equities and Prime Services, and Investment Banking
Credit Impairment
- Credit impairment charges improved 8% to GBP3,071m, with a loan loss rate of 64bps (2012: 70bps), principally reflecting lower impairments in Corporate Banking and Africa RBB. This was partially offset by higher impairments in Barclaycard and UK RBB, partly due to provision releases in 2012, and acquisitions in Barclaycard
Cost Performance
- Adjusted operating expenses increased GBP1,331m to GBP19,893m, reflecting GBP1,209m of costs to achieve Transform, GBP220m provisions for litigation and regulatory penalties in Q413 in the Investment Bank, mainly relating to the US residential mortgage-related business, and UK bank levy
- Total compensation costs decreased 1% to GBP9,616m. Total compensation costs in the Investment Bank were broadly flat at GBP4,634m (2012: GBP4,667m). The Investment Bank compensation to income ratio rose to 43.2% (2012: 39.6%) primarily due to a decrease in income
Balance Sheet, Leverage and Capital Management
- The estimated Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) leverage exposure reduced GBP196bn from 30 June 2013 to GBP1,363bn. Approximately GBP55bn of the reduction in PRA leverage exposure relates to foreign exchange movements
- CRD IV risk weighted assets (RWAs) reduced GBP32bn during the year and GBP12bn during Q413 to GBP436bn, primarily driven by reductions in Exit Quadrant RWAs
- CRD IV fully loaded Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital increased GBP3.0bn from 30 September 2013 to GBP40.4bn, principally due to the issuance of additional shares through the rights issue, partially offset by foreign currency movements of GBP0.8bn and increased regulatory deductions including new deductions related to foreseeable dividends
- CRD IV CET1 ratio fully loaded was 9.3% (30 September 2013: 8.4% or 9.6% on a proforma post rights issue basis)
- The estimated PRA leverage ratio increased to just under 3.0% (30 June 2013: 2.2%), reflecting a reduction in the PRA leverage exposure of GBP196bn and an increase in eligible PRA adjusted Tier 1 Capital to GBP40.5bn (30 June 2013: GBP34.2bn). The increase included GBP5.8bn share capital through the rights issue, GBP2.1bn of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities and a GBP1.9bn reduction in PRA adjustments to CET1 capital to GBP2.2bn, largely driven by a reduction in the additional PRA add-on for prudential valuation adjustment (PVA). The estimated CRD IV fully loaded leverage ratio increased to 3.1% (30 June 2013: 2.5%)
- Net asset value per share was 331p (2012: 414p) and net tangible asset value per share was 283p (2012: 349p). This decrease was mainly attributable to the issuance of shares as part of the rights issue, and decreases in the cash flow hedging reserve and currency translation reserve
Returns
- Adjusted return on average shareholders' equity decreased to 4.5% (2012: 9.0%) principally reflecting the decrease in profit before tax, a GBP440m write down of deferred tax assets relating to Spain and the GBP5.8bn of equity raised from the rights issue in Q413. Adjusted return on average tangible shareholders' equity decreased to 5.3% (2012: 10.6%). Statutory return on average shareholders' equity improved to 1.0% (2012: negative 1.2%)

Chief Executive's Statement
It is now twelve months since we set out our Transform programme, which began the process of making Barclays the 'Go-To' bank for all of our stakeholders. In that time we have taken measures to strengthen our capital base and manage risk which places Barclays in a good position to deliver competitive advantage for the bank in the years to come, resulting in higher and more sustainable returns for our shareholders.
In 2013, UK Retail and Business Banking delivered good results, supported by higher income from our mortgage business. Barclaycard also had another good year both in the UK and internationally, delivering attractive returns while still holding further growth potential. The output from our UK business within Corporate Banking, which delivered profit before tax of nearly GBP1bn for the year as the turnaround continued in the overall business unit. In the Investment Bank, our Equities business saw impressive income growth. Combined with continued improved results in Investment Banking, this partly offset lower income from our Fixed Income Currencies and Commodities business.
Beyond these franchises, we also completed a lot of work during 2013 in repositioning our African, European, and Wealth businesses. These units are in transition, with clear plans being implemented across all three to improve returns, and I am encouraged by the progress I'm seeing.
In aggregate, this performance translated into income of approximately of GBP28.2bn in the year, and adjusted profit before tax of GBP5.2bn. This is a resilient performance, though profits have clearly been impacted by the amount of investment and de-risking activity we executed in the period.
We continue to de-risk the business for reputation and conduct risk. In June we took a further GBP2bn of charges in relation to Payment Protection Insurance and interest rate hedging products redress. We have also exited businesses which are incompatible with Barclays' purpose and values, or where we cannot generate attractive returns for our investors. In late December 2013, we incurred GBP331m of charges for litigation and regulatory penalties which impacted income and costs, the latter of which drove operating expenses higher than the GBP18.5bn guidance excluding the cost to achieve Transform, we provided earlier.
Supported by the GBP5.8bn Rights Issue, we reached a CRD IV fully loaded CET1 ratio of 9.3% at the end of 2013. We remain on track to meet our target of 10.5% during 2015. Alongside the other measures set out in our Leverage Plan in July 2013, including rigorous control around leverage exposure reduction and GBP2.1bn of AT1 issuance, our estimated CRD IV fully loaded leverage ratio is 3.1% and our PRA leverage ratio is almost 3%, the expectation we were set to meet by June 2014.
Leverage will continue to be a focus for regulators and investors, and today we are setting out important plans to further reduce our exposure and better prepare Barclays for regulatory requirements in the future.
At Barclays we believe in paying for performance and paying competitively. Ensuring that we have the right people in the right roles serving our customers and clients effectively in a highly competitive global environment is vital to our ability to generate sustainable shareholder returns. After careful consideration, we determined that an increase of GBP210m over the prior year in the incentive pool was required in 2013 in order to build our franchise in the long term interests of shareholders. Notwithstanding this increase we remain committed to our goal of reducing the compensation to net income ratio over the medium term to the mid 30s.
One year on we are making good progress against the Transform financial and non-financial commitments we set out last year, although clearly we have more to do to execute on our plans.
On CRD IV RWAs we are already operating within the GBP440bn level we targeted for 2015 and our CRD IV fully loaded CET1 ratio is in a strong position. On cost, we remain confident we will reduce operating expenses to GBP16.8bn excluding costs to achieve Transform in 2015. Our Cost to Income Ratio rose in 2013 mainly as a consequence of reduced income, but we remain committed to achieving a ratio in the mid-50s by 2015. On dividends we expect to target a 40% payout ratio from 2014 as we also focus on capital accretion.
All of this progress on our financial commitments, plus additional work on de-leveraging, means we remain convinced of our ability to deliver a Return on Equity for the Group in excess of the cost of equity during 2016.
On our non-financial commitments there is also progress to report.
Cultural change, particularly embedding our purpose and values throughout the organisation, was a major Transform priority for 2013. As well as every colleague completing a mandatory training programme, we have also now integrated our purpose and values into the day to day management processes covering recruitment, talent management, performance assessment and reward. In the case of our Managing Director population, their 2013 performance has been formally assessed against whether they have exhibited the right values and behaviours, as well as producing the business outcomes we want. These criteria will apply to all employees in 2014. Critically, we have developed and published our new Code of Conduct which every colleague must abide by and attest to annually.
Chief Executive's Statement
Today, and in fulfilment of our second non-financial commitment, we are publishing our balanced scorecard, the final component in the leadership system which will help us to drive cultural change and measure holistic performance in Barclays. It contains eight specific commitments which we will report on annually going forward. The commitments we have set are intentionally stretching, but we believe achievable. The personal objectives of all colleagues will align to the scorecard.
Finally, looking externally once more, I am proud to say that Barclays continues to play a key role in the UK economy. As a major employer a particular highlight in 2013 was that we have taken on approximately 1,000 apprentices, helping young people into work and addressing an acute social need. Being a strong bank allows Barclays to support the UK economy through lending to our customers and clients. An estimated GBP88bn of Funding for Lending eligible gross new lending was made to UK households and businesses by us in 2013.
In closing, the plans and targets we have for Barclays are certainly ambitious, and as we deal with unexpected challenges and the wider economic conditions, progress may not always be linear. However, through the disciplined focus of my management team, I am confident we will deliver on our goal of becoming the 'Go-To' bank.
Antony Jenkins, Group Chief Executive
Group Finance Director's Review
"Reflecting on the 2013 financial results for Barclays, I believe progress has been made and momentum is building around the Transform programme. This was the first year of the programme, which necessitated a substantial investment in future cost reduction and repositioning of our balance sheet and capital base.
Within the results, there are two areas that I felt were particularly noteworthy. First, the breadth and diversity of income in the Group, underpinned by our traditional consumer and commercial banking franchises. Similarly, within the Investment Bank, growth in Equities and Investment Banking income provided an offset to the market-led weakness in certain FICC businesses. Second, demonstration of strong financial fundamentals across funding and liquidity, capital, credit risk management and margins should stand the bank in good stead for generating sustainable returns going forward.
In October, I began conducting a detailed balance sheet review, specifically focused on meeting leverage ratio requirements as a priority. We have made strong and quick progress on this. PRA leverage exposure reduced by nearly GBP200bn from June 2013 which, combined with the GBP5.8bn rights issue and issuance of GBP2.1bn of AT1 securities, strengthened our PRA leverage ratio to just under 3%. Our focus on RWA management continued throughout the year, resulting in a 7%, or over GBP30bn, reduction in CRD IV RWAs. Looking ahead, the balance sheet review will continue but with increased focus on optimising the balance sheet, considering both risk weights and leverage, in order to generate improved returns. I will provide updates on this going forward.
Regulation remains a key variable and, while we have gained clarity in certain areas, there remain a number of outstandings which we will continue to anticipate as best we can in order to 'future proof' the bank.
As I look forward, 2014 will likely be another year of transition, with greater focus on balance sheet optimisation, particularly in the Investment Bank, combined with strict cost control in order to generate higher and more sustainable returns in the future."

Group Finance Director's Review
Income Statement
- Adjusted profit before tax was down 32% to GBP5,167m driven by costs to achieve Transform and a reduction in income. Q413 adjusted profit before tax was down GBP1,194m against Q313 to GBP191m, including the impact of GBP331m of charges against litigation and regulatory penalties in the Investment Bank, UK bank levy of GBP504m (Q313: GBPnil), and GBP468m of costs to achieve Transform (Q313: GBP101m)
- Statutory profit before tax improved to GBP2,868m (2012: GBP797m), reflecting a reduced own credit charge of GBP220m (2012: GBP4,579m)
Income Performance
- Adjusted income decreased 4% to GBP28,155m, reflecting reductions in the Investment Bank, the Head Office and Africa RBB, partially offset by growth in Barclaycard and UK RBB
- Investment Bank income was down 9% to GBP10,733m driven by a decrease in FICC income of GBP1,141m, partially offset by increases in Equities and Prime Services of GBP489m, and Investment Banking of GBP63m. Income from Exit Quadrant assets also decreased GBP309m due to accelerated disposals and a GBP111m reversal of income relating to a litigation matter in Q413. Income in Q413 increased 2% on Q313 to GBP2,149m due to higher activity in Macro Products, particularly in the Currency business,and Investment Banking, offset by a reduced performance in Credit Products, and Equities and Prime Services
- Total net interest income was broadly stable atGBP11,600m, with lower net interest income in Head Office, Africa RBB and the Investment Bank offset by increases in Barclaycard, UK RBB and Corporate Banking. Customer net interest income for RBB, Barclaycard, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management increased to GBP10,365m (2012: GBP9,839m) driven by growth in customer assets, partially offset by contributions from Group structural hedging activities
Credit Impairment
- Credit impairment charges improved 8% to GBP3,071m, with a loan loss rate of 64bps (2012: 70bps)
- This reflected lower impairments in the wholesale businesses, mainly Corporate Banking in Europe and UK
- In the RBB and Barclaycard businesses, Africa RBB arrears rates improved, particularly for South Africa home loans, however, impairment was higher in UK RBB and Barclaycard partly due to the non-recurrence of provision releases in 2012, and the Edcon acquisition in Barclaycard
- Higher impairment in Europe reflected exposure to the renewable energy sector in Spain and weaker performance in European mortgages
Cost Performance
- Adjusted operating expenses increased GBP1,331m to GBP19,893m, reflecting GBP1,209m of costs to achieve Transform, GBP220m provisions for litigation and regulatory penalties in Q413 in the Investment Bank, mainly relating to the US residential mortgage-related business and UK bank levy of GBP504m (2012: GBP345m). The Group's cost target for 2015 remains at GBP16.8bn excluding costs to achieve Transform
- Total compensation costs decreased 1% to GBP9,616m. Total compensation costs in the Investment Bank werebroadly flat at GBP4,634m (2012: GBP4,667m). The Investment Bank compensation to income ratio rose to 43.2% (2012: 39.6%) primarily due to a decrease in income
Taxation
- The effective tax rate on adjusted profit before tax increased to 39.0% (2012: 28.4%), mainly due to a charge of GBP440m reflecting the write down of deferred tax assets in Spain. The adjusted effective tax rate excluding the write down was 30.5% (2012: 28.4%), which primarily reflected profits outside of the UK taxed at local statutory tax rates that are higher than the UK statutory tax rate of 23.25% (2012: 24.5%) and the impact of the increase in the non deductible UK bank levy to GBP504m (2012: GBP345m). The effective tax rate on statutory profit before tax decreased to 54.8% (2012: 77.3%)
Returns
- Adjusted return on average shareholders' equity decreased to 4.5% (2012: 9.0%) principally reflecting the decrease in profit before tax, GBP440m write down of deferred tax assets relating to Spain and the rights issue equity raised of GBP5.8bn. Adjusted return on average tangible shareholders' equity decreased to 5.3% (2012: 10.6%). Statutory return on average shareholders' equity improved to 1.0% (2012: negative 1.2%)
Group Finance Director's Review
Balance Sheet and Leverage
Balance Sheet
- Total assets decreased by 12% to GBP1,312bn from 31 December 2012, primarily reflecting decreases in derivative assets, due to increases in forward interest rates and exposure reduction initiatives with central clearing parties and a reduction in cash and balances at central banks due to a decrease in the liquidity pool
- Total loans and advances were GBP468bn (2012: GBP464bn) with an increase of GBP8.4bn in UK RBB including those acquired through Barclays Direct (previously ING Direct UK, acquired during Q113), GBP1.8bn growth within Barclaycard across the UK and international business and a GBP1.8bn increase within Wealth and Investment Management. These were offset by a GBP5.7bn decrease within Africa RBB primarily due to the depreciation of ZAR against GBP, with growth of 2% on a constant currency basis
- Customer accounts increased by 11% to GBP428bn due to a GBP19.5bn increase in UK RBB deposits, a GBP9.6bn increase within Wealth and Investment Management, primarily reflected in the High Net Worth business, and a GBP9.1bn increase in Corporate Banking, from UK deposit growth
- Total shareholders' equity including non-controlling interests, was GBP64bn (2012: GBP60bn). Excluding non-controlling interests, shareholders' equity increased GBP4.8bn to GBP55bn, reflecting a GBP7.4bn increase in share capital and share premium including GBP5.8bn from the issuance of 3.2bn additional shares through the rights issue and the issuance of GBP2.1bn equity accounted AT1 securities. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the cash flow hedging reserve of GBP1.8bn, due to increases in forward interest rates, the currency translation reserve of GBP1.2bn, driven by strengthening of GBP against USD and ZAR, dividends paid of GBP0.9bn, and a GBP0.5bn reduction due to an increase in retirement benefit liabilities
- Net asset value per share was 331p (2012: 414p) and net tangible asset value per share was 283p (2012: 349p). This decrease was mainly attributable to the issuance of shares, as part of the rights issue, and decreases in the cash flow hedging reserve and currency translation reserve
- As at 31 December 2013 the provision held for PPI redress was GBP971m (2012: GBP986m) and for interest rate hedging products redress was GBP1,169m (2012: GBP814m). There has been no significant change to the estimates of future expected costs since June 2013
Leverage
- Estimated PRA leverage exposure reduced GBP196bn from 30 June 2013 to GBP1,363bn driven by a reduction in derivative replacement costs, potential future exposures on derivatives and cash and balances at central banks. Approximately GBP55bn of the reduction in PRA leverage exposure, relatedto foreign exchange movements
Capital Management
- CRD IV fully loaded CET1 capital increased GBP3.0bn from 30 September 2013 to GBP40.4bn, principally due to the issuance of additional shares through the rights issue, partially offset by foreign currency movements of GBP0.8bn and increased regulatory deductions related to foreseeable dividends. CRD III Core Tier 1 capital was GBP46.8bn (30 September 2013: GBP42.0bn)
- CRD IV RWAs reduced GBP32bn during the year and GBP12bn during Q413 to GBP436bn, primarily driven by reductions in Exit Quadrant RWAs of GBP39bn and reductions in trading book exposures, partially offset by methodology changes. This reduction was primarily in the Investment Bank, where Exit Quadrant RWAs reduced GBP37bn to GBP42bn. CRD III RWAs reduced GBP32bn to GBP355bn during the year
- CRD IV CET1 ratio on a fully loaded basis was 9.3% (30 September 2013: 8.4% or 9.6% on a proforma post rights issue basis). This movement was mainly as a result of the rights issue and a decrease in RWAs offset by new regulatory deductions primarily related to foreseeable dividends. CRD III Core Tier 1 ratio strengthened to 13.2% (30 September 2013: 11.3%)
- The estimated PRA leverage ratio increased to just under 3.0% (30 June 2013: 2.2%), reflecting a reduction in the PRA leverage exposure of GBP196bn and an increase in eligible PRA adjusted Tier 1 Capital to GBP40.5bn (30 June 2013: GBP34.2bn). The increase included GBP2.1bn of AT1 securities and a GBP1.9bn reduction in PRA adjustments to CET1 to GBP2.2bn largely driven by an elimination of the additional PRA add-on for PVA. Refer to page 55 for further details. The estimated CRD IV fully loaded leverage ratio increased to 3.1% (30 June 2013: 2.5%)
Group Finance Director's Review
Funding and Liquidity
- In 2013, we reduced the liquidity pool by GBP23bn to GBP127bn. This was consistent with reducing the large Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA) and Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) surpluses to support the leverage plan and to optimise the cost of liquidity, while maintaining compliance with internal liquidity risk appetite and external regulatory requirements.
- The liquidity pool consists of cash and deposits with central banks and high quality government bonds, which together accounted for 83% (2012: 87%) of the pool
- The estimated LCR was 102% (2012: 126%) based upon the latest standards published by the Basel Committee. This is equivalent to a surplus of GBP2bn above the 100% ratio (2012: GBP32bn)
- The estimated Net Stable Funding Requirement (NSFR) was 110% (2012: 112%), resulting in a GBP40bn (2012: GBP49bn) excess above the 100% ratio requirement
- The loan to deposit ratio for the Group decreased to 101% (2012: 110%) as a result of strong growth in customer deposits in UK RBB, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management
- Total wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was GBP186bn (2012: GBP240bn), of which GBP82bn (2012: GBP102bn) matures in less than one year and GBP20bn matures within one month (2012: GBP29bn)
- The Group issued GBP1bn of net term funding during 2013, including $1bn of CRD IV compliant Tier 2 capital. Barclays has GBP24bn of term funding maturing in 2014 and GBP22bn in 2015. We expect to issue more public wholesale debt in 2014 than in 2013, albeit at lower levels than amounts maturing
Dividends
- A final dividend for 2013 of 3.5p per share will be paid on 28 March 2014 resulting in a total 6.5p dividend per share for the year. Total dividends paid to ordinary shareholders were GBP859m (2012: GBP733m), reflecting the additional shares issues as part of the rights issue
Outlook
- 2014 will be another year of transition, as we continue to make investments and focus on balance sheet optimisation and cost reduction.
Updated guidance on capital, leverage and dividends
- Barclays' current regulatory target is to meet a fully loaded CET1 ratio of 9% by 2019, plus a Pillar 2A add-on. Under current PRA guidance, Pillar 2A will need to be met with 56% CET1 from 2015, which would equate to approximately 1.4% of RWAs if the requirement were to be applied today. The Pillar 2A add-on would be expected to vary over time according to the PRA's individual capital guidance
- The Group expects to achieve a 10.5% CRD IV CET1 ratio on a fully loaded basis in 2015. As Barclays builds capital over the transitional period to its end state structure, the Group would estimate reaching a range of 11.5-12.0% for the CRD IV CET1 ratio, once an internal management buffer, Pillar 2A and other regulatory considerations are taken into account. This indication is based on certain assumptions (refer page 55 for details) and does not include any Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer, additional Sectoral Capital Requirement or Systemic Risk Buffer
- The Group estimates reaching a PRA leverage ratio of at least 3.5% by the end of 2015 and a range of 3.5% to 4% beyond 2015, with an expected net reduction in leverage exposure of approximately GBP60bn, excluding foreign currency effects. Barclays expects the reduction in leverage exposure to below GBP1,300bn by 2015 to result in a minimal impact on current revenues but result in foregone revenue of around GBP300m in 2015
- Based on an initial high level impact analysis of the January 2014 Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) proposal, we have estimated the changes could decrease the PRA leverage ratio by approximately 20 basis points, prior to management actions and any further rule changes
- The Group remains committed to a 40-50% dividend payout ratio over time, calculated as a proportion of adjusted earnings per share as determined by the Board. We expect to be at 40% from 2014 to allow focus on capital accretion

UK Retail and Business Banking
UK RBB performed well in 2013, growing at a faster rate than the market in key products, including increasing its stock share of mortgages. UK RBBcontinued to support the UK economy; advancing GBP1.8bn of gross new term lending to small businesses and helping 120,000 start-ups. The number of customers using digital channels grew substantially in 2013; mobile banking usage increased by 150% to 2.3 million customersand Pingit users doubled to over 1 million customers.
UK RBB continued to restructure and invest in the business as part of the Transform strategy. During the year the business incurred GBP175m of costs to achieve Transform, relating to a reduction in operational sites, the announcement of staff redundancies in the Retail Bank and of the introduction of small format branches into Asda stores. The business also continued to contribute to the communities in which it operates; our apprentice programme offered 1,000 apprenticeships across Barclays this year, with a commitment to double that figure by 2015.Lifeskills, our programme designed to give young people access to the skills, information and opportunities they need to help them gain employment, has so far reached out to 276,000 young people.
Income Statement - 2013 compared to 2012
- Net interest income increased 6% to GBP3,395m driven by strong mortgage growth and contribution from Barclays Direct (previously ING Direct UK, acquired during Q113). Net interest margin was down 6bps to 129bps primarily reflecting reduced contributions from structural hedges, however, customer generated margin increased from 102bps to 106bps
- Customer asset margin increased 15bps to 122bps driven by lower funding costs and increased customer rates on new mortgage lending
- Customer liability margin decreased 8bps to 89bps reflecting lower funding rates
- Net fee and commission income declined 5% to GBP1,098m primarily due to lower fees from customers
- Credit impairment charges increased GBP78m to GBP347m primarily due to the non-recurrence of provision releases in 2012 relating to unsecured lending and mortgages. Excluding this, impairment was broadly in line with prior year
- Adjusted operating expenses increased 4% to GBP3,008m due to costs to achieve Transform of GBP175m. Statutory operating expenses decreased 10% to GBP3,668m due to the lower charge for PPI redress of GBP660m (2012: GBP1,180m)
- Adjusted profit before tax decreased 2% to GBP1,195m, while statutory profit before tax was GBP535m (2012: GBP45m)
Income Statement - Q413 compared to Q313

- Portfolio quality continued to improve with an average balance weighted Loan to Value (LTV) ratio on the mortgage portfolio (including Buy to Let) of 56% (2012: 59%). Average balance weighted LTV of new mortgage lending was 64% (2012: 65%)
- Customer deposits increased 17% to GBP135.5bn driven by growth in savings and Barclays Direct, which added GBP6.2bn
- Total assets increased 14% to GBP152.9bn driven by the allocation of liquidity pool assets previously held centrally, and growth in loans and advances to customers
- CRD III RWAs increased 13% to GBP44.1bn primarily driven by Barclays Direct and mortgage asset growth

Europe Retail and Business Banking
Europe RBB continued to focus on restructuring the cost base of its European business in 2013, as part of the Transform strategy. During the year the business reduced full time equivalent employees by 1,600 and closed over 500 distribution points. Europe RBB also rolled out a new Premier customer proposition, targeting profitable growth from the mass affluent segment, in a drive to increase margins.
Risk has been a focus in the face of challenging economic conditions across Europe and a dedicated asset optimisation team was established to reduce redenomination risk and accelerate run off of the GBP21.3bn (2012: GBP22.9bn) low margin Exit Quadrant assets.
Income Statement - 2013 compared to 2012
- Income declined 6% to GBP666m, reflecting actions taken to reduce assets, particularly in Spain and Italy, to address the continuing economic challenges across Europe, partially offset by an increase due to foreign currency movements
-- Net interest income declined 2% to GBP420m due to the decline in average customer balances. Net interest margin remained broadly in line at 79bps (2012: 78bps) with improved pricing offset by higher funding costs
- Net fee and commission income declined 25% to GBP187m, reflecting reduced business volumes
- Net premiums from insurance contracts declined 17% to GBP276m due to reduced business volumes, following rationalisation of product offerings, leading to a corresponding 14% decline in net claims and benefits to GBP308m
- Credit impairment charges increased 12% to GBP287m due to exposure to the renewable energy sector in Spain, foreign currency movements and increased coverage for high risk mortgage customers. This was offset in part by improvement in collections performance
- Operating expenses increased by GBP435m to GBP1,242m, almost entirely reflecting costs to achieve Transform of GBP403m. These related to restructuring costs to significantly downsize the distribution network, with the remaining increase driven by foreign currency movements partially offset by cost savings resulting from restructuring
- Other net expense increased by GBP146m to GBP133m due to a valuation adjustment relating to contractual obligations to trading partners, based in locations affected by our restructuring plans
- Loss before tax increased GBP653m to GBP996m, including costs to achieve Transform of GBP403m and an increase in other net expenses
- Attributable loss increased to GBP964m (2012: GBP277m), including the impact of a deferred tax assets write down relating to Spain and the increase in loss before tax
Income Statement - Q413 compared to Q313
- Loss before tax of GBP181m (Q313: GBP106m), mainly reflects an increase in operating expenses, including restructuring costs to achieve Transform of GBP46m, UK bank levy of GBP26m and higher impairment charges of GBP11m, primarily in Spain
Balance Sheet - 31 December 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
- Loans and advances to customers fell by 6% to GBP37.0bn, driven by asset reduction activityas part of the Transform strategy, partially offset by foreign currency movements
- Mortgage balances decreased to GBP33.6bn (2012: GBP34.8bn)
- The average balance weighted LTV ratio on the Spain mortgage portfolio was 63% (2012: 65%), on the Italy mortgage portfolio was 60% (2012: 60%) and the Portugal mortgage portfolio was 76% (2012: 78%)
- Customer deposits reduced by 7% to GBP16.3bn with customer attrition partially offset byforeign currency movements
- Total assets reduced by 2% to GBP45.0bn driven by the reduction in loans and advances to customers
- CRD III RWAs remained broadly flat at GBP15.9bn (2012: GBP15.8bn), with a reduction in Exit Quadrant RWAs offset by changes due to the treatment of forbearance

Africa Retail and Business Banking
During 2013, Africa RBB embarked on a three year turnaround programme under a new leadership team, aimed at aligning the business to the Transform objectives, while focusing on customer growth and cost efficiencies.
2013 results were affected by increased competition, a changing regulatory environment and foreign exchange movements, as average ZAR depreciated 16% against GBP. However, on a constant currency basis, PBT was up 57%, largely as a result of lower impairment provisions on the South African home loans recovery book. The business incurred GBP26m of costs to achieve Transform which supported the re-shaping of the branch network and ongoing work on digitalisation of customer channels and products.
While 2013 saw a good start to the turnaround programme in Africa RBB, there remains more work to be done to generate sustainable returns going forward.
Income Statement - 2013 compared to 2012
-- Income declined 11% to GBP2,617m driven by foreign currency movements, partially offset by the non-recurrence of fair value adjustments in the commercial property finance portfolio in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, income improved 5%, despite continued pressure on transaction volumes in a competitive environment
-- Net interest income declined 13% to GBP1,437m. On a constant currency basis, net interest income improved 2%. Net interest margin was down 3bps to 316bps
- Customer asset margin remained stable at 310bps, with continued focus on competitive pricing of key products including home loans, personal loans and vehicle and asset finance
- Customer liability margin decreased 2bps to 273bps driven by increased competition and a change in product mix towards lower margin savings products
-- Net fee and commission income declined 13% to GBP924m. On a constant currency basis, income increased 2%
-- Credit impairment charges decreased 49% to GBP324m. On a constant currency basis, credit impairment charges decreased 41% due to lower provisions on the South African home loans recovery book and business banking portfolio. This decrease was partly offset by deterioration in the South African unsecured lending portfolio due to the challenging economic environment. This fall in impairment resulted in a loan loss rate of 128bps (2012: 202bps)
-- Operating expenses decreased 4% to GBP1,896m. On a constant currency basis, costs increased 11% driven by a combination of increased investment spend on infrastructure and inflation increases in South Africa
-- Profit before tax increased 25% to GBP404m, primarily due to lower credit impairment charges in the South African home loans recovery book and business banking portfolio, along with the non-recurrence of fair value adjustments on the commercial property finance portfolio in the prior year
Income Statement - Q413 compared to Q313
-- Profit before tax of GBP60m (Q313: GBP132m) was lower due to the UK bank levy in Q413 and higher costs to achieve Transform, in addition to further depreciation of ZAR
Balance Sheet - 31 December 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
-- Period end ZAR depreciated against GBP by 26%. The deterioration was a significant contributor to the movement in the reported results. Currency movements in other African countries did not have a material impact
- Loans and advances to customers decreased 19% to GBP24.2bn as depreciation of ZAR against GBP offset growth of 2%, particularly in vehicle and asset finance
- Average balance weighted LTV ratio on the mortgage portfolio was 62% (2012: 66%). Average balance weighted LTV of new mortgage lending was 75% (2012: 76%)
-- Customer deposits decreased 13% to GBP16.9bn. On a constant currency basis, deposits increased 8% reflecting growth in individual deposits, particularly in investment products
-- Total assets decreased 21% to GBP33.5bn driven by depreciation of ZAR against GBP. On a constant currency basis, total assets were broadly in line
-- CRD III RWAs decreased 9% to GBP22.4bn, primarily due to the depreciation of ZAR against GBP, partially offset by balance sheet growth

Investment Bank
The Investment Bank continued to make progress in delivering part of the Transform strategy in 2013, with a focus on driving cost and capital efficiency, strengthening the control environment, and capitalising on the build out of Equities and Investment Banking. The business incurred costs to achieve Transform of GBP262m, primarily related to restructuring across Europe, Asia and America.
CRD IV RWAs reduced to GBP221.6bn (30 June 2013: GBP254.1bn) through accelerated sell down of the Exit Quadrant assets and continued focus on driving efficiency in the ongoing business.
While industry FICC revenues reduced in 2013, strong growth was seen in the Equities franchise, which continued to outperform the market.

Total income 10,733 11,775 (9)
- Total income decreased 9% to GBP10,733m, including a reduction of GBP309m relating to the Exit Quadrant
- FICC income decreased 17% to GBP5,537m
-- Macro Products and Credit Products income decreased 23% to GBP3,110m and 9% to GBP2,427m respectively driven by Rates and Securitised products, as market uncertainty around central banks' tapering of quantitative easing programmes impacted activity. Europe and the US were particularly impacted, whilst Asia benefitted from improved currency income. The prior year benefitted from the European Long Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO) in H112, the ECB bond buying programme and reduced benchmark interest rates in H212
- Equities and Prime Services income increased 22% to GBP2,672m reflecting higher commission income and increased client volumes
- Investment Banking income increased 3% to GBP2,200m driven by increased equity underwriting fees, partly offset by declines in financial advisory activity
- Principal Investments income declined to GBP62m (2012: GBP206m) due to disposals and lower private equity income
- Exit Quadrant income reduced GBP309m to GBP262m due to accelerated disposals throughout 2013 and the prior year benefitting from higher gains on US residential mortgage assets and sale of, and gains on, US commercial real estate assets. 2013 included a gain of GBP259m as a result of greater certainty regarding the recoverability of certain assets not yet received from the 2008 US Lehman acquisition and current year reversal of GBP111m income relating to a litigation matter
- Net credit impairment charges of GBP220m (2012: GBP204m) were driven by a charge against a single name exposure in Q213
- Operating expenses increased 5% to GBP8,012m
- Costs to achieve Transform of GBP262m primarily related to restructuring initiatives across Europe, Asia and America
- UK bank levy increased 62% to GBP333m primarily due to an increase in the rate
- Other costs include GBP325m (2012: GBP221m) relating to infrastructure improvement, including increased costs to meet the requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act, CRD IV and other regulatory reporting change projects. There were provisions for litigation and regulatory penalties of GBP220m in Q413, mainly relating to US residential mortgage-related business. 2012 was impacted by a GBP193m penalty relating to the setting of inter-bank offered rates
- Including costs to achieve Transform, the cost: income ratio increased 10% to 75%. Compensation: income ratio increased to 43.2% (2012: 39.6%) with compensation costs broadly in line with prior year at GBP4,634m (2012: GBP4,667m).

- Income decreased 17% to GBP2,149m, including a reduction of GBP256m relating to the Exit Quadrant
- FICC income decreased 16% to GBP1,085m, reflecting lower activity across a number of FICC businesses due to a less favourable trading environment
- Equities and Prime Services income increased 9% to GBP496m driven by stronger performances in cash equities and equity derivatives due to improved market confidence and higher client activity
- Investment Banking income reduced 5% to GBP590m as declines in financial advisory and debt underwriting activity were partially offset by improved fee income in equity underwriting
- Exit Quadrant income reduced GBP256m to GBP(54)m, due to a GBP111m current year reversal of income relating to a litigation matter. The prior year benefitted from higher gains on US residential mortgage assets
- Operating expenses increased 33% to GBP2,464m
- GBP87m (Q412: nil) costs to achieve Transform were incurred in Q413, primarily related to restructuring costs
- UK bank levy increased 62% to GBP333m

Income Statement - Q413 compared to Q313
- Income increased 2% to GBP2,149m
- FICC income increased 12% to GBP1,085m reflecting higher income in Macro Products driven by the rates, commodities and currency businesses, offset by a decline in Credit Products due to lower trading activity in credit positions
- Equities and Prime Services income decreased 23% to GBP496m as performance in both cash and equity derivatives was impacted by reduced market volume and moderate volatility seen in Q413. This was partially offset by higher income from Prime Services as client balances and activity increased
- Investment Banking income increased 12% to GBP590m driven by improved performance across financial advisory and equity underwriting, as a result of increased activity, with debt underwriting in line with the prior quarter
- Operating expenses increased 51% to GBP2,464m

Corporate Banking
Corporate Banking continued to make good progress in pursuing its turnaround strategy, which gained momentum in 2013. During the year it rationalised its geographic footprint in Rest of World, increased sustainable returns from its ongoing business and continued to reduce Exit Quadrant assets in Europe. All of these actions improved the risk profile, resulted in income generation from higher quality assets.
Performance improved across all regions in 2013, with the UK franchise continuing to deliver strong returns, generating 2013 adjusted return on average equity of 12.3% (2012: 10.3%). This was complemented by an increased contribution from Africa within Rest of World. Europe returns were adversely impacted by a write down of deferred tax assets relating to Spain. Costs to achieve Transform were incurred to further invest in the ongoing client business, as well as rationalise the offering within Europe and Rest of World.
Income Statement - 2013 compared to 2012
- Total income increased 2% to GBP3,115m reflecting an increase in UK income, partially offset by non-recurring income from a reduction in Exit Quadrant assets in Europe and previously exited businesses
- Net interest margin remained broadly flat at 121bps (2012: 124bps) as reduced funding rates offset between assets and liabilities
- Customer asset margin increased 16bps to 133bps and customer liability margin reduced 14bps to 97bps following the reduction in funding rates
- Credit impairment charges declined 42% to GBP510m largely driven by Europe, which saw charges reduce by GBP224m to GBP318m following ongoing action to reduce exposure to the property and construction sector in Spain. Charges were also lower against large Corporate clients in the UK
- Adjusted operating expenses increased 6% to GBP1,806m including costs to achieve Transform of GBP114m, which primarily related to restructuring across all regions and the UK bank levy of GBP51m (2012: GBP39m). Statutory operating expenses improved 4% to GBP2,456m, due to a lower charge for interest rate hedging products redress of GBP650m (2012: GBP850m)
- Adjusted profit before tax improved 74% to GBP801m
- UK adjusted profit before tax improved 14% to GBP948m driven by lower credit impairment charges andhigher income
- Europe adjusted loss before tax improved 40% to GBP243m principally due to lower credit impairment charges, partially offset by reduced income from exited businesses and costs to achieve Transform
- Rest of the World adjusted profit before tax improved GBP61m to GBP96m due to lower impairment and prior year costs reflecting the impact of exited businesses
- Statutory profit before tax was GBP151m (2012: loss of GBP390m) reflecting the reduced charge for interest rate hedging products redress
- Adjusted attributable profit of GBP247m (2012: GBP228m) was impacted by a write down of deferred tax assets relating to Spain
Income Statement - Q413 compared to Q313
- Adjusted profit before tax decreased 55% to GBP123m reflecting the impact of increased costs to achieve Transform from GBP13m to GBP60m and UK bank levy of GBP51m in Q413
Balance Sheet - 31 December 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
- Loans and advances to customers decreased 5% to GBP61.1bn driven by the rundown of Exit Quadrant portfolios in Europe and a reduction in client demand as working capital deposits increased in the UK
- Loans and advances to customers at fair value which consists of the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority (ESHLA) portfolio decreased 11% to GBP15.7bn from fair value adjustments reflecting rising long term interest rates and paydowns
- Customer deposits increased 9% to GBP108.7bn primarily due to the growth of UK deposits
- Total assets increased GBP26.1bn to GBP113.9bn reflecting a reallocation of liquidity pool assets previously held centrally

Wealth and Investment Management
Wealth and Investment Management continued to implement its strategic programme to build on its strengths, focus on target markets and simplify how it operates. The purpose of this transformation is to put Wealth and Investment Management on a solid trajectory to deliver sustainable returns over the long term.
In 2013, the business incurred significant costs to achieve Transform. A significant portion of these costs were the direct result of initiatives taken to drive greater efficiency, to de-risk in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, to streamline target markets and to consolidate client propositions.
Business growth remained robust with strong growth in client assets, customer deposits and loans and advances to customers.
Income Statement - 2013 compared to 2012
- Total income of GBP1,839m remained broadly in line with the prior year
- Net interest income of GBP859m was in line with the prior year, as growth in deposit and lending balances, primarily in the High Net Worth business, was offset by a 19bps decrease in net interest margin to 104bps reflecting a change in product mix and reduced contributions from structural hedges
- Customer asset margin increased 21bps to 86bps due to lower funding rates. Average customer assets increased 14% to GBP22.4bn
- Customer liability margin decreased 15bps to 97bps reflecting a change in product mix and lower funding rates. Average customer liabilities increased 21% to GBP60.6bn
- Net fees and commission income increased 2% to GBP968m
- Credit impairment charges increased GBP83m to GBP121m, largely reflecting the impact of deterioration in recovery values from property held as security, primarily in Europe. Q213 included a charge of GBP15m relating to secured lending on Spanish property
- Adjusted operating expenses increased GBP241m to GBP1,750m largely reflecting costs to achieve Transform of GBP158m and a GBP23m customer remediation provision. Statutory operating expenses increased GBP320m to GBP1,829m including goodwill impairment of GBP79m (2012: nil). For further details refer to Note 11 Goodwill and Intangible Assets on page 108
- Adjusted loss before tax of GBP19m moved from a profit of GBP274m in 2012 primarily driven by costs to achieve Transform, increased credit impairment charges and the customer remediation provision. An adjusting item of GBP79m relating to the impairment of goodwill was also included in the statutory loss before tax of GBP98m (2012: profit of GBP274m)
Income Statement - Q413 compared to Q313
- Adjusted loss before tax of GBP73m moved from a profit of GBP7m in Q313 primarily driven by an increase in costs to achieve Transform of GBP37m to GBP81m. An adjusting item of GBP79m relating to the impairment of goodwill was also included in the statutory loss before tax of GBP152m (Q313: profit of GBP7m)
Balance Sheet - 31 December 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
- Loans and advances to customers increased 8% to GBP23.1bn and customer deposits increased 18% to GBP63.4bn primarily driven by growth in the High Net Worth business
- CRD III RWAs increased 4% to GBP16.7bn driven by reallocation of liquidity pool assets previously held centrally, offset by improvements to the application of collateral to credit exposures
- Client assets increased 10% to GBP204.8bn driven by growth in the High Net Worth business and favourable equity market movements

Income Statement - 2013 compared to 2012
- Adjusted income declined to a net expense of GBP124m (2012: income of GBP356m), predominately due to the non-recurrence of gains related to hedges of employee share awards in Q112 of GBP235m and the residual net expense from treasury operations including an adjustment to the carrying amount of subordinated liabilities
- Operating expenses decreased GBP53m to GBP131m, mainly due to the non-recurrence of the GBP97m penalty arising from the industry wide investigation into the setting of inter-bank offered rates recognised in H112, partially offset by costs to achieve Transform of GBP22m and regulatory investigation and legal costs
- Adjusted loss before tax of GBP248m moved from a profit of GBP189m in 2012. Statutory loss before tax improved to GBP468m (2012: GBP4,163m) including an own credit charge of GBP220m (2012: GBP4,579m), partially offset by the non-recurrence of the GBP227m gain on disposal of investment in BlackRock, Inc. in 2012
Income Statement - Q413 compared to Q313
- Adjusted profit before tax of GBP44m (Q313: loss of GBP135m)
- Total income net of insurance claims of GBP122m moved from an expense of GBP112m in Q313, principally due to an adjustment to the carrying amount of subordinated liabilities
- Operating expenses increased GBP65m to GBP86m, including costs to achieve Transform of GBP22m and UK bank levy of GBP15m
- Statutory loss before tax of GBP51m (Q313: GBP346m) included an own credit charge of GBP95m (Q313: GBP211m)
Balance Sheet - 31 December 2013 compared to 31 December 2012
- Total assets decreased 35% to GBP26.7bn primarily reflecting a reduction of group liquidity pool assets and a reallocation to the businesses
- CRD III RWAs decreased GBP2.3bn to GBP3.0bn primarily driven by the reallocation of liquidity pool assets to the businesses

Performance Management
Remuneration
Ensuring that Barclays has the right people in the right roles serving our customers and clients effectively in a highly competitive global banking environment is vital to our ability to generate sustainable shareholder returns. This requires that the way in which we reward employees is competitive.
When considering the appropriate level of incentive awards for 2013, the Board Remuneration Committee has had to establish the right balance between ensuring that the progress on repositioning compensation, which began in 2011, was not undone, whilst also ensuring Barclays remains competitive in this area and compensation continues to reflect performance.
In 2013, there was good performance in the UK Retail and Corporate Banking businesses, along with continued strong growth in Barclaycard. The European, African and Wealth businesses performed less well, and are in a process of transition to improve returns. Within the Investment Bank, Equities saw very good growth and continued to outperform the market. Improved performance in Investment Banking was driven by increased deal issuance. Income in FICC, reflecting market trends, was more subdued in 2013. Incentive awards for 2013 reflect the relative performance of these key sectors, together with the on-going strengthening of thecontrol environment as part of the Transform strategy.
As set out in the 2012 Remuneration Report, the Board Remuneration Committee and management took measured risks while granting the 2012 incentive awards by significantly driving down the total incentives awarded. In making the 2013 incentives decisions, the Board Remuneration Committee has intended to protect the health of the franchise with the aim that Barclays remains true to its policy of paying competitively and paying for performance.
These considerations, together with the impacts of business mix referred to above, led to total incentive awards granted increasing from GBP2,168m in 2012 to GBP2,378m in 2013. However, they were GBP1.1bn lower than 2010 which demonstrated the impact of the repositioning work over the last three years.
As in 2012, the total incentive awards in 2013 were determined after making appropriate risk adjustments to reflect significant risk events. Total risk adjustments of GBP290m were made in 2013 (2012: GBP1,160m). Of this, GBP176m (2012: GBP300m) of adjustments were made through reductions in incentive awards that were granted in previous years and GBP114m (2012: GBP860m) of reductions were made from total incentive awards granted in 2013. Whilst the overall incentive awards granted in 2013 were up on 2012, it is important to note that on a pre-risk adjusted basis, the 2013 incentive awards of GBP2,492m have reduced 18% from 2012.
Barclays continues to have constructive engagement and dialogue with its shareholders and other key stakeholders in respect of remuneration and remains committed to its intention of paying no more than is necessary to maximise the long-term value and health of the bank.
Incentive awards
- Total incentive awards granted increased to GBP2,378m (2012: GBP2,168m) and incentive awards in the Investment Bank increased to GBP1,574m (2012: GBP1,394m)
- For the Group the incentive awards granted were 32% (GBP1,106m) below 2010. In the Investment Bank incentive awards granted were 41% (GBP1,086m) below 2010
- Within compensation there has been strong differentiation on the basis of individual performance to allow the Group to manage compensation costs but also to remain competitive
- Average value of incentive awards granted per Group employee is GBP17,000 (2012: GBP15,600) with the average value of incentive awards granted per Investment Bank employee of GBP60,100 (2012: GBP54,500). Average value of incentive awards granted per Group employee excluding the Investment Bank is GBP7,100 (2012: GBP6,800)
- The proportion of the bonus pool that is deferred continues to significantly exceed the PRA's Remuneration Code's minimum requirements and is expected to remain amongst the highest deferral levels globally. 2013 bonuses awarded to Managing Directors in the Investment Bank were 100% deferred

- The income statement charge for performance costs reflects the charge for employees' actual services provided to the Group during the relevant calendar year (including where those services fulfil performance conditions attached to previously deferred bonuses). It does not include charges for deferred bonuses where performance conditions have not been met
- As a consequence, while the 2013 incentive awards granted increased 10% compared to 2012, the income statement charge for performance costs increased 5%
1 Calculated as total deferred bonus divided by the sum of total current year bonus and total deferred bonus.
2 Difference between incentive awards granted and income statement charge for commissions, commitments and other long-term incentives.

Performance Management
Returns and Equity by Business
Returns on average equity and average tangible equity are calculated as profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent divided by average allocated equity or average allocated tangible equity for the period as appropriate, excluding non-controlling and other equity interests. Average allocated equity has been calculated as 10.5% of average risk weighted assets for each business, adjusted for capital deductions, including goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. The higher capital level currently held, reflecting Core Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.2% as at 31 December 2013, is allocated to Head Office and Other Operations. Average allocated tangible equity is calculated using the same method but excludes goodwill and intangible assets.

Costs to achieve Transform
-- On 12 February 2013 the Group announced the Strategic Review which included reducing operating expenses by GBP1.7bn to GBP16.8bn by 2015
-- Costs to achieve Transform totalled GBP1,209m in 2013. Major restructuring initiatives of GBP852m principally related to the cost of reducing the scale of activities and redundancies in Europe RBB, the Investment Bank, across Europe, Asia and America, and UK RBB. Other Transform costs of GBP356m were primarily driven by investment in technology and process improvements that will reduce future operating costs and enhance customer and client propositions

-- Exit Quadrant income shown on page 46 differs from the income above due to revenues relating to associated litigation matters and recoverability of certain assets not yet received from the 2008 US Lehman acquisition
-- The CRD IV RWAs of the Exit Quadrant businesses decreased GBP39.4bn to GBP54.4bn including reductions of
GBP36.9bn in the Investment Bank. This reflects reductions in Investment Bank portfolio assets of GBP21.7bn to GBP23.5bn,
relating to US Residential, Structured Credit Portfolios and optimisation initiatives within the derivatives portfolio. Pre-CRD IV Rates derivatives RWAs decreased GBP15.2bn to GBP18.7bn. RWAs in Corporate Banking and Europe RBB Exit Quadrant portfolios decreased due to continued asset run down
-- Portfolio Assets balance sheet assets decreased GBP18.9bn to GBP27.9bn driven by net sales and paydowns across asset classes. Income of GBP142m was primarily driven by gains relating to US Residential Mortgage exposures, partially offset by funding charges on Collateralised Loan Obligations and Other Insured Assets and the acceleration of disposals. Portfolio Assets income reduced to GBP142m (2012: GBP389m), largely driven by a reduction in fair value gains on US Residential Mortgages and sale of Commercial Real Estate loans
-- Corporate Banking Exit Quadrant balance sheet assets in Europe decreased GBP1.3bn to GBP2.6bn largely driven by

-- Europe RBB Exit Quadrant balance sheet assets decreased GBP1.6bn to GBP21.3bn largely driven by mortgage reductions in Spain and Italy, partially offset by foreign currency movements

RBB, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management Net Interest Income (NII)
Barclays distinguishes the relative net interest contribution from customer assets and customer liabilities, and separates this from the contribution delivered by non-customer income, which principally arises from Group hedging activities.
Customer interest income
-- Customer NII increased to GBP10,365m (2012: GBP9,839m) driven by growth of 2% in average customer assets to GBP326bn and a 10bps increase in the customer asset margin to 2.19%. Customer liability interest income remained broadly constant; the result of a 14% increase in average liabilities to GBP322bn offset by a 12bps reduction to 100bps in the customer liability margin
-- The customer asset margin increased to 2.19% (2012: 2.09%) primarily due to reduced funding costs
-- The customer liability margin decreased to 1.00% (2012: 1.12%) driven by increased customer rates paid on deposits accounts in Corporate Banking, a change in product mix within Wealth towards lower margin products and reduced funding rates
Non-customer interest income
-- Non-customer NII decreased to GBP1,051m (2012: GBP1,210m) reflecting a reduction in the non-customer generated margin of 5bps to 0.16%. Group hedging activities continue to utilise structural interest rate hedges to mitigate the impact of the low interest environment on customer liabilities and the Group's equity
-- Product structural hedges generated a lower contribution of GBP843m (2012: GBP962m), as hedges were maintained in this period of continued low interest rates. Based on the current interest rate curves and the on-going hedging strategy, fixed rate returns on product structural hedges are expected to make a significant contribution in 2014
-- The contribution from equity structural hedges RBB, Barclaycard, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management remained broadly constant at GBP337m (2012: GBP317m)
Other Group interest income
-- Head office NII decreased GBP240m to a net expense of GBP165m reflecting the cost of funding surplus liquidity due to growth in customer deposits across the group offset by an adjustment to the carrying value of subordinated liabilities
-- Investment Bank NII decreased to GBP349m (2012: GBP530m) primarily due to a reduction in interest income from Exit Quadrant assets
Total contribution to Group net interest income from structural hedge income is down GBP140m to GBP1.6bn (2012: GBP1.7bn).
1 Product structural hedges convert short term interest margin volatility on product balances (such as non-interest bearing current accounts and managed rate deposits) into a more stable medium term rate and are built on a monthly basis to achieve a targeted maturity profile.
2 Equity structural hedges are in place to manage the volatility in net earnings generated by businesses on the Group's equity, with the impact allocated to businesses in line with their capital usage.
Performance Management
Net Interest Margin
-- The net interest margin for RBB, Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management decreased 8bps to 1.76% (2012: 1.84%) reflecting the reduction in contribution from customer liabilities and Group hedging activities, combined with a reduced contribution from the higher margins in Africa RBB as ZAR depreciated against GBP. The net interest margin is expressed as a percentage of the sum of average customer assets and liabilities to reflect the impact of the margin generated on retail and commercial banking liabilities
-- The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average customer assets actually increased from 3.47% to 3.50% in 2013
-- Net interest margin and customer asset and liability margins reflect movements in the Group's internal funding rates which are based on the cost to the Group of alternative funding in wholesale markets. The Group's internal funding rate prices intra-group funding and liquidity to appropriately give credit to businesses with net surplus liquidity and to charge those businesses in need of wholesale funding at a rate that is driven by prevailing market rates and includes a term premium. The objective is to price internal funding for assets and liabilities in line with the cost of alternative funding, which ensures there is a consistency between retail and wholesale sources

Risk Management
Overview
Barclays Risk management responsibilities are laid out in the Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF). This framework, which was introduced in 2013, creates clear ownership and accountability, ensures the Group's most significant risk exposures are understood and managed in accordance with agreed risk appetite, and ensures regular reporting of both risk exposures and the operating effectiveness of controls. It includes those risks incurred by Barclays that are foreseeable, continuous, and material enough to merit establishing specific bank-wide control frameworks. These are known as Key Risks and are grouped into six Principal Risks. Conduct and Reputation Risks were reclassified as Principal Risks in 2013. Further detail on how these risks are managed will be available in the 2013 Annual Report and Accounts.
The topics and associated key risks, by Principal Risk, covered in this report are described below:

- The Core Tier 1 ratio increased to 13.2% (2012: 10.8%) reflecting an increase in Core Tier 1 capital of GBP5.1bn to GBP46.8bn
Barclays generated GBP1.3bn Core Tier 1 capital from earnings after absorbing the impact of provisions for PPI and interest rate hedging product redress. After deducting GBP1.7bn of dividends paid during 2013, retained regulatory capital generated from earnings decreased Core Tier 1 capital by GBP0.4bn. Other material movements in Core Tier 1 capital were:
- GBP5.8bn increase in share capital and share premium due to the rights issue - GBP0.8bn increase in share capital and share premium due to warrants exercised
- GBP1.8bn decrease due to foreign currency movements, primarily due to the strengthening of GBP against USD and ZAR
- GBP0.5bn decrease in securitisation deductions due to rundown of legacy assets
- Total Capital Resources increased overall by GBP4.8bn to GBP70.7bn
The increases in Core Tier 1 capital were partially reduced by decreases in Tier 2 capital as a result of GBP1.4bn of redemptions of dated subordinated liabilities offset by GBP0.7bn of new issuances and a further GBP0.5bn decrease in securitisation deductions at a total capital level

RWAs decreased by GBP32.6bn, reflecting:
-- Reductions in book size decreased RWAs by GBP13.9bn, primarily driven by reduced sovereign exposure and risk reductions in the trading book, offset by asset growth in UK RBB and Barclaycard
-- Acquisitions and disposals decreased RWAs by GBP11.4bn, primarily driven by Exit Quadrant reductions, offset by the acquisition of Barclays Direct
-- Book quality improved resulting in a RWA reduction of GBP4.4bn, primarily driven by changing risk profile within UK RBB, Corporate Bank and the Investment Bank
-- Model updates increased RWAs by GBP3.3bn, primarily driven by model changes within Barclaycard in order to meet changes in regulatory guidance
-- Methodology and policy changes increased RWAs by GBP1.4bn, driven by changes to the treatment of forbearance, offset by improvements to the application of collateral to credit exposures
-- Foreign exchange movements decreased RWAs by GBP5.2bn, primarily driven by the appreciation of GBP against ZAR
-- Other decreased RWAs by GBP2.4bn, primarily driven by changes in measurement within the trading book
CRD IV as implemented by the Prudential Regulation Authority
The new Capital Requirements Regulation and amended Capital Requirements Directive have implemented Basel 3 within the EU (collectively known as CRD IV) with effect from 1 January 2014. However, certain aspects of CRD IV 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 rules. Barclays has calculated RWAs, Capital and Leverage ratios reflecting our interpretation of the current rules and guidance. Further changes to the impact of CRD IV may emerge as the requirements are finalised and implemented within Barclays
Capital ratios
-- Barclays continues to be in excess of minimum CRD IV capital ratios on both a transitional and fully loaded basis
-- As at 31 December 2013 Barclays exceeded the PRA target fully loaded CET1 ratio of 7%. On a transitional basis the PRA has implemented a minimum requirement CET1 ratio of 4%, Tier 1 ratio of 5.5% (in 2014) and Total Capital ratio of 8%
-- Barclays' current regulatory target is to meet a fully loaded CET1 ratio of 9% by 2019, plus a Pillar 2A add-on. The 9% comprises the required 4.5% minimum CET1 ratio and, phased in from 2016, a Combined Buffer Requirement made up of a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% and an expected Globally Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer of 2%
-- Under current PRA guidance, the Pillar 2A add-on will need to be met with 56% CET1 from 2015, which would equate to approximately 1.4%(1) of RWAs if the requirement were to be applied today. The Pillar 2A add-on would be expected to vary over time according to the PRA's individual capital guidance
-- In addition, a Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCCB) and/or additional sectoral capital requirements (SCR) may be required by the Bank of England to protect against perceived threats to financial stability. CRD IV also includes the potential for a Systemic Risk Buffer (SRB). These buffers could be applied at the Group level or at a legal entity, sub-consolidated or portfolio level. No CCCB, SCR or SRB has currently been set by the Bank of England
Capital resources
-- The PRA has announced the acceleration of transitional provisions relating to CET1 deductions and filters so the fully loaded requirements are applicable from 1 January 2014, with the exception of unrealised gains on available for sale debt and equity. As a result, transitional capital ratios are now closely aligned to fully loaded ratios
-- Following the issuance of the EBA's final draft technical standard on own funds, a deduction has been recognised for foreseeable dividends. As at 31 December 2013, this represents an accrual for the final dividend for 2013, calculated at 3.5p per share, and the coupons on other equity accounted instruments
-- Grandfathering limits on capital instruments, previously qualifying as Tier 1 and Tier 2, are unchanged under the PRA transitional rules
1 Based on a point in time assessment made by the PRA, at least annually. The PRA is developing proposals to reform its Pillar 2 framework and, as noted in PS7/13 (PRA policy statement PS7/13 on strengthening capital standards published in December 2013), it expects to consult on those proposals during the course of 2014. The EBA is also developing guidelines on the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) and on Pillar 2 capital, which are likely to affect how the PRA approaches Pillar 2.
Funding Risk - Capital
-- The Prudential Valuation Adjustment (PVA) is shown as fully deducted from CET1 upon adoption of CRD IV. PVA is subject to a technical standard being drafted by the EBA and the impact is currently based on methodology agreed with the PRA. The PVA deduction as at 31 December 2013 was GBP2.5bn
-- Barclays continues to recognise minority interests in eligible subsidiaries within African operations as CET1 (subject to regulatory haircuts prescribed in CRD IV) in accordance with our application of regulatory requirements on own funds
-- As a result of the application of the EBA's final draft technical standard, PRA guidance and management actions taken during 2013, net long non-significant holdings in financial entities amount to GBP3.5bn and are below the 10% CET1 threshold that would require a capital deduction
RWAs
-- The PRA has confirmed Barclays model approvals under CRD IV, with certain provisions reflecting relevant changes to the rules and guidance; the impact of which has been reflected in our CRD IV disclosures where applicable. Barclays models are subject to continuous monitoring, update and regulatory review, which may result in future changes to CRD IV capital requirements
-- It is assumed that corporates, pension funds and sovereigns that meet the eligibility conditions are exempt from CVA volatility charges
-- Under CRD IV rules, all Central Clearing Counterparties (CCPs) are deemed to be 'Qualifying' on a transitional basis. The final determination of Qualifying status will be made by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
-- RWAs include 1250% risk weighting of securitisation positions that were previously deducted from Core Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The RWA increases are reflected in Credit Risk, Counterparty Credit Risk and Market Risk
-- Securitisation RWAs include the impact of CRDIV on applying either standardised or advanced methods for securitisation exposures dependent on the character of the underlying assets

CRD IV introduces a non-risk based leverage ratio that is intended to act as a supplementary back stop to the risk based capital measures. The CRD IV leverage ratio is calculated as CRD IV Tier 1 capital divided by CRD IV leverage exposure. Under CRD IV, banks are required to report their leverage ratio for supervisory review purposes from 2014 and from 2015 banks are required to publish their leverage ratios in Pillar 3 disclosures, with the expectation that a binding Pillar I requirement will be introduced across the EU from 2018. The EBA is tasked with monitoring banks submissions with regard to the leverage ratio by end 2016 which may result in further changes to the leverage ratio.
The PRA has communicated its expectation that Barclays meets a 3% estimated PRA leverage ratio by June 2014. The estimated PRA leverage ratio is calculated on the fully loaded CRD IV Tier 1 capital base adjusted for certain PRA defined deductions, and a PRA adjusted(1) CRD IV leverage exposure measure.
Barclays expects to meet the leverage expectation of 3% communicated by the PRA.
Barclays has disclosed an estimated leverage ratio based on our understanding of the requirements and guidance of CRD IV as currently published and is subject to further change as the rules are fully implemented. The estimated ratio does not take account of the finalisation of the Basel 3 leverage ratio framework issued by the Basel Committee on 12 January 2014.
CRD IV Leverage ratio calculation
In calculating the CRD IV leverage ratio the IFRS balance sheet is taken as a starting point and the following key adjustments to total assets have been applied:
-- Derivatives netting adjustment: regulatory netting applied across asset and liability mark-to-market derivative positions pursuant to legally enforceable bilateral netting agreements and meeting the requirements of CRD IV
-- Potential Future Exposure (PFE) on derivatives: regulatory add on for potential future credit exposures, calculated in accordance with the CRD IV mark-to-market method by assigning standardised percentages to the notional values on derivative contracts
-- Securities Financing Transactions (SFTs) adjustments: under CRD IV, the IFRS measure of SFTs is replaced with the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method (FCCM) measure, calculated as an add on equal to exposure less collateral, taking into account master netting agreements and adjusting for volatility haircuts
-- Undrawn Commitments: regulatory add-ons relating to off balance sheet undrawn commitments are based on a standardised credit conversion factor of 10% for unconditionally cancellable commitments and 100% for all other commitments. The rules specify relief to be applied to trade finance related undrawn commitments which are deemed to be medium/low risk (20%) and medium risk (50%)
1 Adjusted to avoid creating disincentives to facilitate central clearing for customers and cash variation margin received and posted (as specified under SS3/132).
Funding Risk - Capital
-- Regulatory deductions: items (comprising goodwill and intangibles, deferred tax asset permanent losses, own paper, cash flow hedge reserve, pension assets and PVA) that are deducted from the capital measure are also deducted from total leverage exposure to ensure consistency between the numerator and denominator
-- Other adjustments: includes adjustments required to change from an IFRS scope of consolidation to a regulatory scope of consolidation, adjustments for significant investments in financial sector entities that are consolidated for accounting purposes but not for regulatory purposes, and the removal of IFRS reduction in assets for the recognition of Credit Risk Mitigation and the netting of loans with deposits
-- In addition, in accordance with SS3/13(1) the estimated PRA adjusted leverage exposure allows for further adjustments that reduce leverage exposure by GBP14bn. These adjustments:
- Exclude potential future exposure on the qualifying central clearing counterparties (QCCPs) legs of client clearing transactions where Barclays does not guarantee the performance of the QCCP to the client
- Allow for the netting of assets with cash collateral received for variation margin in relation to derivatives trades to facilitate customer central clearing as well as cash collateral received and posted on Barclays own derivative transactions with QCCPs
Basel Committee Leverage Ratio
On 12 January 2014, the Basel Committee announced the finalisation of its revised rules for calculating the Basel 3 leverage ratio. These included a number of elements that would require amendments to CRD IV if adopted in the EU, although implementation timeframes within the EU are not yet clear. Compared to the current CRD IV implementation, the revised rules contain elements that will increase leverage exposure; including capturing a calculation for net written credit derivatives based upon their notional value and the inclusion of netted cash legs of SFTs. The revised rules also include elements that will reduce leverage exposure including, the removal of volatility haircuts in relation to the SFTs add-on, the ability to net down derivative MTM exposures with eligible cash collateral (this element includes the impact of the PRA rule changes, and expands upon them), and more favourable credit conversion factors for undrawn commitments. Based on an initial high level impact analysis we have estimated the changes would decrease the CRD IV leverage ratio by approximately 20 basis points prior to management actions.

- The estimated PRA leverage exposure decreased to GBP1,363bn (June 2013: GBP1,559bn). Excluding the impact of movements in foreign currency, leverage exposure reduced approximately GBP140bn driven by reductions in loans and advances, trading portfolio assets and potential future exposure on derivatives
- Applying the Basel 3 2010 text for the calculation of leverage would result in an estimated leverage exposure of GBP1,521bn (June 2013: GBP1,665bn), reflecting an increase of GBP144bn in the SFT exposure calculation from the CRD IV exposure. The estimated fully loaded leverage ratio would be 2.8% (June 2013: 2.3%)on this basis

No adjustment for PVA was applied as at 31 December 2013 as the underlying calculation of CET1 capital has been updated to reflect the agreed change in methodology.
Funding Risk - Liquidity
Funding & Liquidity
Barclays has a comprehensive Liquidity Risk Management Framework (the Liquidity Framework) for managing the Group's liquidity risk. The Liquidity Framework meets the PRA's standards and is designed to ensure that the Group maintains sufficient financial resources of appropriate quality for the Group's funding profile. This is achieved via a combination of policy formation, review and governance, analysis, stress testing, limit setting and monitoring. Together, these meet internal and regulatory requirements.
Liquidity risk is managed separately at Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) due to local currency and funding requirements. Unless stated otherwise, all disclosures in this section exclude BAGL and they are reported on a stand-alone basis. Adjusting for local requirements, BAGL liquidity risk is managed on a consistent basis to Barclays Group.
Liquidity stress testing
Under the Liquidity Framework, the Group has established a Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA), which is measured with reference to the liquidity pool compared to anticipated stressed net contractual and contingent outflows under a variety of stress scenarios. These scenarios are aligned to the PRA's prescribed stresses and cover a market-wide stress event, a Barclays-specific stress event and a combination of the two. Under normal market conditions, the liquidity pool is managed to be at least 100% of 90 days of anticipated outflows for a market-wide stress and 30 days of anticipated outflows for each of the Barclays-specific and combined stresses. Of these, the 30 day Barclays-specific scenario requires the largest liquidity pool to meet its stress outflows.
Since June 2010 the Group has reported its liquidity position against Individual Liquidity Guidance (ILG) provided by the PRA. The Group also monitors its position against anticipated Basel 3 metrics, including the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). As at 31 December 2013 Barclays ratios were in excess of 100% for both of these metrics, with an estimated LCR of 102% (2012: 126%) and an estimated NSFR of 110% (2012: 112%)(1) .
As at 31 December 2013, the Group held eligible liquid assets in excess of 100% of net stress outflows for each of the 30 day Barclays-specific LRA scenario and the Basel 3 LCR:

In 2013, Barclays Group right sized its liquidity pool to reduce the large LRA and LCR surpluses to support the leverage plan and reduce the costs of surplus liquidity, whilst maintaining compliance with its internal liquidity risk appetite and external regulatory requirements.
Barclays plans to maintain its surplus to the internal and regulatory stress requirements at an efficient level. Barclays will continue to monitor the money markets closely, in particular for early indications of the tightening of available funding. In these conditions, the nature and severity of the stress scenarios are reassessed and appropriate action taken with respect to the liquidity pool. This may include further increasing the size of the pool or monetising the pool to meet stress outflows.
1 The methodology for estimating the LCR and NSFR is based on an interpretation of the Basel standards published in January 2013 and January 2014 respectively and includes a number of assumptions which are subject to change prior to the implementation of the CRD IV.
2 Of the three stress scenarios monitored as part of the LRA, the 30 day Barclays specific scenario results in the lowest ratio at 104% (2012: 129%). This compares to 127% (2012: 141%) under the 90 day market-wide scenario and 112% (2012: 145%) under the 30 day combined scenario.
Funding Risk - Liquidity
Liquidity pool
The Group liquidity pool as at 31 December 2013 was GBP127bn (2012: GBP150bn). During 2013, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from GBP127bn to GBP157bn (2012: GBP150bn to GBP173bn), and the month-end average balance was GBP144bn (2012: GBP162bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and is not used to support payment or clearing requirements. Such requirements are treated as part of our regular business funding. The liquidity pool is intended to offset stress outflows and comprises the following cash and unencumbered assets. The decrease of the size of the liquidity pool during 2013 is consistent with Group plans to optimise the size of the liquidity pool, within our established liquidity risk appetite framework, while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. The change in the composition of the liquidity pool, from cash and deposits with central banks to government bonds, was done to reduce the overall cost of the liquidity pool.

Barclays manages the liquidity pool on a centralised basis. As at 31 December 2013, 90% of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC (2012: 90%) and was available to meet liquidity needs across the Barclays Group. The residual liquidity pool is held predominantly within Barclays Capital Inc (BCI). The portion of the liquidity pool outside of Barclays Bank PLC is held against entity-specific stressed outflows and regulatory requirements.
1 GBP104bn of the liquidity pool is PRA eligible as per BIPRU 12.7. In addition, there are GBP9bn of Level 2 assets available, as per PRA's announcement in August 2013 that certain assets specified by PRA as Level 2 assets can be used on a transitional basis.
2 The LCR-eligible assets presented in this table represent only those assets which are also eligible for the Group liquidity pool and do not include any Level 2B assets as defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

Funding Risk - Liquidity
- Trading portfolio assets are largely funded by repurchase agreements with 63% (2012: 74%) secured against highly liquid assets1. The weighted average maturity of these repurchase agreements secured against less liquid assets was 69 days (31 December 2012: 84 days)
- The majority of reverse repurchase agreements are matched by repurchase agreements. As at 31 December 2013, 76% (2012: 75%) of matched book activity was secured against highly liquid assets(1) . The remainder of reverse repurchase agreements are used to settle trading portfolio liabilities
- Derivative assets and liabilities are largely matched. A substantial proportion of balance sheet derivative positions qualify for counterparty netting and the remaining portions are largely offset once netted against cash collateral received and paid (see Note 12 'Offsetting financial assets and liabilities' for further detail on netting)
- The liquidity pool is primarily funded by wholesale debt
- Other assets are largely matched by term wholesale debt and equity
Composition of wholesale funding
As at 31 December 2013 total wholesale funding outstanding (excluding repurchase agreements) was GBP186bn (2012: GBP240bn). GBP82bn of wholesale funding matures in less than one year (2012: GBP102bn) of which GBP23bn relates to term funding (2012: GBP18bn)(2) . Maturing wholesale liabilities have been replaced with customer deposits to increase the resilience and sustainability of its funding structure, while meeting future regulatory requirements.
Outstanding wholesale funding comprised of GBP35bn secured funding (2012: GBP40bn) and GBP151bn unsecured funding (2012: GBP199bn).

1 Highly liquid assets are limited to government bonds, US agency securities and US agency mortgage-backed securities.
2 Term funding maturities comprise public benchmark and privately placed senior unsecured notes, covered bonds/asset-backed securities (ABS) and subordinated debt where the original maturity of the instrument was more than 1 year. In addition, at 31 December 2013, GBP3bn of these instruments were not counted towards term financing as they had an original maturity of less than 1 year.
3 The composition of wholesale funds comprises the balance sheet reported Deposits from Banks, Financial liabilities at Fair Value, Debt Securities in Issue and Subordinated Liabilities, excluding cash collateral and settlement balances. It does not include collateral swaps, including participation in the Bank of England's Funding for Lending Scheme. Included within deposits from banks are GBP4.1bn of liabilities drawn in the European Central Bank's 3 year LTRO.
4 Primarily comprised of fair value deposits GBP4.6bn and secured financing of physical gold GBP5.0bn.
Funding Risk - Liquidity
Outstanding wholesale funding includes GBP50bn (2012: GBP63bn) of privately placed senior unsecured notes in issue. These notes are issued through a variety of distribution channels including intermediaries and private banks. A large proportion of end users of these products are individual retail investors.
In 2013, Barclays repaid EUR3bn of funding raised through the European Central Bank's 3 year LTRO, leaving EUR5bn outstanding as at 31 December 2013 (2012: EUR8bn).
The liquidity risk of wholesale funding is carefully managed primarily through the LRA stress tests, against which the liquidity pool is held. Although not a requirement, the liquidity pool exceeded wholesale funding maturing in less than one year by GBP45bn (2012: GBP48bn).
The average maturity of wholesale funding net of the liquidity pool was at least 69 months (2012: 61 months).

To manage cross-currency refinancing risk Barclays manages to foreign currency cash-flow limits, which limit the risk at specific maturities. Across wholesale funding, the composition is materially unchanged.
Term financing
In 2013, term funding maturities were mostly offset by growth in customer deposits and run-off of Exit Quadrant, while a significant portion of the Group's 2013 funding needs were pre-funded in 2012.
The Group issued GBP1bn of net term funding in 2013, including $1bn of CRD IV compliant Tier 2 capital. This issuance was a transitional step towards Barclays end state CRD IV capital structure.
The Group has GBP24bn of term debt maturing in 2014 and a further GBP22bn maturing in 2015(1) . The Group expects to issue more public wholesale debt in 2014 than in 2013 in order to maintain a stable and diverse funding base by type, currency and distribution channel.

Funding Risk - Liquidity
During 2013, Barclays was downgraded one notch by Standard & Poor's, as the rating agency views increased risk for some large European banks operating in investment banking due to tightening regulation and uncertain market conditions. As a result Barclays Bank PLC's rating moved to A/A-1 from A+/A-1, and Barclays PLC's to A-/A-2 from A/A-1. Similarly, DBRS downgraded Barclays Bank PLC, to AA (low)/R-1 (mid) from AA/R-1 (high), mainly driven by the changing regulatory environment. The downgrades were fully reserved for in the liquidity pool and there was no significant change in deposit funding or wholesale funding. Fitch and Moody's affirmed Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays PLC ratings.
Barclays' ratings currently benefit from sovereign support assumptions made by rating agencies. Levels of sovereign supports are reflected in the difference between the standalone rating and Barclays Bank PLC's long-term rating. As regulation evolves, rating agencies have communicated their intention to remove all or part of this support over time. As a consequence, Moody's put Barclays' long-term and short-term ratings on a Negative outlook.
The table below shows contractual collateral requirements and contingent obligations following one and two notch long-term and associated short-term simultaneous downgrades across all credit rating agencies, which were fully reserved for in the liquidity pool. These numbers do not assume any management or restructuring actions that could be taken to reduce posting requirements.

Beyond these contractual requirements, these outflows do not include the potential liquidity impact from loss of unsecured funding, such as from money market funds or loss of secured funding capacity. However, unsecured and secured funding stresses are included in the LRA stress scenarios and a portion of the liquidity pool is held against these risks.
Barclays Africa Group Limited
-- Liquidity risk is managed separately at BAGL due to local currency, funding and regulatory requirements
-- In addition to the Group liquidity pool, BAGL held GBP4bn (2012: GBP5bn) of liquidity pool assets against BAGL-specific anticipated stressed outflows. The liquidity pool consists of South African government bonds and Treasury bills
-- The BAGL loan to deposit ratio was 105% (2012: 113%)
-- As at 31 December 2013, BAGL had GBP9bn of wholesale funding outstanding (2012: GBP12bn), of which GBP6bn matures in less than 12 months (2012: GBP6bn)

- Loans and advances to customers and banks at amortised cost net of impairment remained stable at GBP468.3bn (2012: 464.4bn). This reflected a GBP3.8bn increase to GBP231.8bn in the retail portfolios, driven by increased mortgage lending and the acquisition of Barclays Direct in UK RBB. This was offset by reductions in Africa RBB, largely reflecting currency movements
- This growth, combined with lower impairment charges on loans and advances resulted in a lower loan loss rate of 64bps (2012: 70bps)
- Further detail can be found in the Retail and Wholesale Credit Risk sections on pages 72 and 86 respectively

- Gross loans and advances to customers and banks in the retail portfolios increased 2% to GBP236.2bn principally reflecting movements in UK RBB, where a 6% increase to GBP138bn reflected the acquisition of Barclays Direct and growth in home loans. This was partially offset by reductions in Africa RBB, principally reflecting currency movements
- The loan impairment charge increased 4% to GBP2,161m principally as a result of:
- UK RBB increased 29% to GBP347m primarily due to the non-recurrence of releases in 2012 impacting unsecured lending and mortgages. Excluding these, impairment was broadly in line with prior year
- Barclaycard increased 20% to GBP1,264m primarily driven by higher assets, including the impact of the acquisition of the Edcon portfolio in late 2012, and the non-recurrence of releases in 2012. Impairment loan loss rates in consumer credit cards remained stable at 356bps (2012: 358bps) in the UK and at 268bps (2012: 268bps) in the US, but increased to 560bps (2012: 160bps) in South Africa
- Europe RBB increased 12% to GBP287m due in part to additional charges resulting from exposure to the renewable energy sector in Spain, foreign currency movements and an increase in home loan balances in recoveries. This was partially offset by improvements in underlying collections performance
1 Primarily comprises UAE retail portfolios in 2013. Includes India portfolios in 2012.
Credit Risk
- Africa RBB decreased 45% to GBP259m driven by lower charges in the South African home loans portfolios and foreign currency movements
- Wealth and Investment Management increased to GBP9m (2012: nil) driven primarily by losses on Spanish residential property
- Corporate Banking decreased to a GBP5m release (2012: GBP27m charge) driven by a sharp improvement in residential property values
- Higher overall impairment charges led to an increase in the retail loan loss rate to 91bps (2012: 89bps)

- Africa RBB, due to depreciation of ZAR against GBP and a reduction in the recovery book in South Africa home loans
- UK RBB, where reductions reflected higher cash recoveries in Business Banking and lower flows into recovery in Consumer Lending
- Barclaycard, where the reductions reflected lower balances in recovery across the principal portfolios
- This was partially offset by higher balances in Europe RBB primarily due to appreciation of EUR against GBP and an increase in recovery balances across all home loans portfolios
1 2012 PCRL balances in Africa RBB have been restated to better reflect their PCRL categorisation. As a result PCRL balances increased by GBP3m; CRLs decreased by GBP99m and PPLs to increased by GBP102m. This has been allocated between Home Loans (CRL: GBP76m and PPL: GBP59m) and Other Retail Lending (CRL: GBP23m and PPL: GBP43m).

Retail forbearance programmes
Forbearance programmes on principal retail portfolios
- Retail forbearance is available to customers experiencing financial difficulties. Forbearance solutions may take a number of forms depending on the extent of their financial dislocation. Short term solutions normally focus on temporary reductions to contractual payments and switches from capital and interest payments to interest only. For customers with longer term financial difficulties, term extensions may be offered, which may also include interest rate concessions and fully amortising balances for card portfolios
- Forbearance on the Group's principal retail portfolios in the US, UK, Eurozone and South Africa is presented below. The principal portfolioslisted below account for 91% (2012: 92%) of total retail forbearance balances

- Loans in forbearance in the principal home loans portfolios decreased 13% to GBP3,090m, primarily due to reductions in UK, South Africa and Italy
- The UK home loans under forbearance programmes decreased 7% to GBP2,364m. In H213, the definition was expanded to include customers who are up to date on their mortgage but have either been granted a term extension or have drawn against their Mortgage Current Account and displayed other indicators of financial stress. 2012 forbearance balances were restated from GBP1,596m to GBP2,536m in line with the new definition
Credit Risk
- As a result of the restatement, Mortgage Current Account balances (see page 81) now account for 71% of the total forbearance balances, the majority of the remainder being term extensions which account for 17%
- In South Africa, the reduction in forbearance balances was due to the implementation of enhanced qualification criteria which results in a more appropriate and sustainable programme for the customer, and a depreciation of ZAR against GBP
- In Italy, the majority of the balances relate to specific schemes required by the government in response to natural disasters and amendments are weighted towards payment holidays and interest suspensions. The decrease of 28% to GBP307m was in part due to customers exiting such government forbearance schemes after recommencing payments. The coverage for forbearance accounts remain low, reflecting the underlying quality of customers on these government schemes, with 85% of customers being up to date upon entering the forbearance scheme
- Forbearance balances on principal credit cards, overdrafts and unsecured loan portfolios decreased by 9% to GBP1,160m. Forbearance programmes as a proportion of outstanding balances reduced in UK and US cards due to an improved credit environment and an enhancement to the forbearance policy in 2012
- Impairment allowances against UK cards forbearance decreased following a review of the qualification criteria in 2012, the impacts of which become evident from Q213. This included a reduction of balances on forbearance programmes and better performance resulting in a decrease in impairment coverage ratio
- US cards forbearance programme coverage ratio was lower than the UK due to a higher proportion of partnership accounts and long term forbearance plans. These plans have lower loss rates compared to the UK as payment amount and annual percentage rate is higher in the US portfolio
- Business Lending forbearance balances increased 37% to GBP278m due to a longer period of monitoring undertaken for customers under forbearance before they are re-categorised as performing. In addition, there has been an increase in customers being granted forbearance whilst a review of their derivative position is being undertaken

- Arrears rates remained steady in the UK due to a conservative credit policy and stable economic conditions including the continued low base rate environment. The recoveries impairment coverage ratio increased reflecting higher impairment allowances held as 31 December 2013 reflecting the external environment.
- In the UK, gross loans and advances increased 7% to GBP123bn which includes the GBP5.4bn mortgage portfolio acquired through Barclays Direct, in February 2013. Within the total home loans portfolio:
- Owner-occupied(4) interest only balances of GBP44.5bn (2012: GBP45.7bn) represented 36% of total home loan balances (see page 80 for more detail). The average balance weighted LTV for interest only balances remained low at 54.2% (2012: 58.8%) and 90 day arrears rates remained stable at 30bps (2012: 30bps) which was in line with the overall portfolio performance
- Buy to let(5) home loans comprised 8% (2012: 7%) of the total balances. For buy to let home loans, 90 day arrears rates improved marginally from 0.2% to 0.1% while balance weighted portfolio LTV remained broadly stable at 62.9% (2012: 65.7%)
- Gross loans and advances in South Africa of GBP12.2bn (2012: GBP15.8bn) were broadly unchanged in local currency. The improvement in the arrears and charge-off rates was driven by the continued strong performance of new lending and improvements in collections capabilities. The decrease in recoveries balances was driven by revised strategies in the recoveries environment to reduce this portfolio, and lower charge-off rates
- In the principal European home loans portfolios, gross loans and advances reduced 3% to GBP31.9bn reflecting the amortisation of existing balances and reduced new business flows following the realignment of the target customer profile. 90 day arrears rates and charge-off rates have remained broadly stable in Spain and Italy, but have reduced in Portugal due to improved collections performance
- Balances in recoveries and recovery impairment coverage rates have increased in Spain in part due to an increase in the legal recovery timescales following introduction of new Spanish mortgage protection laws. The lengthy legal process in Europe and difficult property market conditions have contributed to the increasedrecovery balances and higher impairment coverage ratios
1 Excluded from the above analysis are Wealth International home loans, which are managed on an individual customer exposure basis, France home loans and other small home loans portfolios. All portfolios under Secured Home Loans are primarily first lien mortgages. Other Secured Retail Lending under Barclaycard is a second lien mortgage portfolio.
2 90 days arrears including recoveries is the sum of balances greater than 90 days arrears and balances charged off to recoveries, expressed as a percentage of total outstanding balances.
3 Gross charge-off rates are calculated over average monthly outstanding balances through the year.
4 Owner-occupied refers to mortgages where the intention of the customer was to occupy the property at origination.
5 Buy to let refers to mortgages where the intention of the customer (investor) was to let the property at origination.

-- Credit quality of the principal home loan portfolios reflected relatively conservative levels of high LTV new lending and moderate LTV on existing portfolios
-- During 2013, the average balanced weighted portfolio LTV in the UK decreased to 56.3% (2012: 59.1%) primarily due to appreciating house prices
-- For >100% LTV, with the exception of Italy, balances decreased during 2013:
- In the UK balances were 41% lower at GBP1,596m, partly driven by appreciating house prices. However, the average balance weighted LTV for the same period increased due to the remaining balances having higher LTVs than those paid down
- In South Africa, the 49% reduction in the balances to GBP540m (2012: GBP1,064m) was driven by a reduction in the recoveries book and an appreciation in house prices
- In Spain and Portugal, the balances decreased by 24% and 26%, respectively due to the increasing levels of repossessions where the assets are now held as 'Other Real Estate Owned' (see section 'foreclosures in process and properties in possession')
- In Italy, the balances increased by 20% due to the falling property prices and court set auction valuations for properties going through the lengthy repossession process (see section Foreclosures in process and properties in possession)
1 Portfolio marked to market based on the most updated valuation including recoveries balances. Updated valuations reflect the application of the latest house price index available in the country as at 31 December 2013. Valuation weighted LTV is the ratio between total outstanding balances and the value of total collateral held against these balances. Balance weighted LTV approach is derived by calculating individual LTVs at account level and weighting by the individual loan balances to arrive at the average position.

- New bookings in UK decreased 6% to GBP17.1bn. The decrease in average balance weighted LTV in the UK to 64.2% (2012: 64.6%) was driven by an increased proportion of lower LTV originations
- In South Africa, new home loans above 85% LTV decreased to 30.4% (2012: 36.8%) due to an increase of new bookings in the 80-85% LTV band. The average LTV decreased to 74.9% (2012: 76.1%)
- New bookings in Spain, Italy and Portugal reduced 35% to GBP791m due to changes to business strategy, a tightening of the standard LTV credit criteria and active management to reduce funding mismatch and redenomination risk. Average balance weighted LTV on new mortgages remained stable across these jurisdictions reflecting this credit criteria
- The proportion of new home loans above 85% LTV in Spain has decreased, and now primarily reflects lending to customers to finance the purchase of properties which were previously repossessed by the Bank and held as Other Real Estate Owned' (see section on Foreclosures in process and properties in possession)
1 The proportion of new home loans above 85% LTV in Portugal includes home loans to restructure customer existing home loans, with no increase in exposure.

Exposures to interest only home loans
-- The Group provides interest only mortgages to customers, mainly in the UK. Under the terms of these loans, the customer makes payments of interest only for the entire term of the mortgage, although customers may make early repayments of the principal within the terms of their agreement
-- Subject to such early repayments, the entire principal remains outstanding until the end of the loan term and the customer is responsible for repaying this on maturity. The means of repayment may include the sale of the mortgaged property
-- Interest only lending is subject to bespoke underwriting criteria that includes: a maximum size of loan, maximum LTV ratios, affordability and maximum loan term amongst other criteria. Borrowers on interest only terms must have a repayment strategy in place to repay the loan at maturity and a customer contact strategy has been developed to ensure ongoing communications are in place with interest only customers at various points during the term of the mortgage. The contact strategy is varied dependent on our view of the risk of the customer

Exposures to Mortgage Current Accounts (MCA) Reserves
-- MCA Reserve is a secured overdraft facility available to home loan customers which allows them to borrow against the equity in their home. It allows draw-down up to an agreed available limit on a separate but connected account to the main mortgage loan facility. The balance drawn must be repaid on redemption of the mortgage

The average marked to market LTV has reduced to 53.9% (2012: 57.7%) reflecting increasing house prices and paydown of the main mortgage loan
Credit Risk
Foreclosures in process and properties in possession
- Foreclosure is the process by which the bank initiates legal action against a customer with the intention of terminating a loan agreement whereby the bank may repossess the property subject to local law and recover amounts it is owed. This process can be initiated by the bank independent of the impairment treatment and it is therefore possible that the foreclosure process may be initiated whilst the account is still in Collections (delinquent) or in Recoveries (post charge-off) where the customer has not agreed a satisfactory repayment schedule with the bank
- Properties in possession include properties held as 'Loans and Advances to Customers' and properties held as 'Other Real Estate Owned'
- Held as 'Loans and Advances to Customers' (UK and Italy) refers to properties where the customer continues to retain legal title but where the bank has enforced the possession order as part of the foreclosure process to allow for the disposal of the asset, or the court has ordered the auction of the property
- Held as 'Other Real Estate Owned' (South Africa, Spain and Portugal) refers to properties where the bank has taken legal ownership of the title as a result of purchase at an auction or similar and treated as 'Other Real Estate Owned' within other assets on the bank's balance sheet

- In UK home loans, foreclosures in process increased 14% to 1,835 in 2013. This increase includes customers where contact and formal agreement of payment plans for arrears is still to be achieved. On average, 22% of customers in foreclosures in process made a monthly repayment which was less than the monthly contractual payment. 31% of customers in Recovery have recommenced full contractual payments as a minimum, and the foreclosure process for these customers is in temporary suspension pending agreement on the arrears
- The properties in possession portfolio in South Africa is comprised entirely of 'Other Real Estate Owned'. The reduction in 2013 is due to a more cautious approach adopted for taking ownership of properties at auction when the reserve price is not met, and improved sale processes for existing properties
- Foreclosures in process in the European mortgage portfolios increased driven by the continuing charge off rates increasing new flow into recovery. Foreclosures in process and property in possession stocks are increasing and are impacted by the increasing time to repossess and sell property
1 In Italy, customers continue to retain legal title of the property after the court has ordered an auction. These are classified as properties in possession and excluded from foreclosures in process.

-- Gross loans and advances in credit cards, overdrafts and unsecured loans increased 2% to GBP47bn with increases in UK and US card portfolios, Germany cards and Barclays Partner Finance being offset by decreases in Italy salary advance loans, South Africa cards and UK overdrafts
-- With the exception of South Africa cards, arrears rates remained broadly stable
-- Recovery coverage increased significantly for UK cards, whilst the proportion of recovery balances was lower. This was driven by increased debt sale activity which also resulted in a lower recovery expectation across the remaining recovery book, thereby resulting in a higher impairment requirement
-- Significant improvement in US Cards arrears rates was driven by a targeted strategy focused on growth in high quality customers and low-risk partnerships
-- In UK personal loans arrears rates reduced due to the improved performance of new bookings following changes to credit criteria
-- In South Africa cards, deterioration in delinquency and charge-off rates reflected the change in product mix following the acquisition of the Edcon portfolio in late 2012. Charge-off rates excluding Edcon would be 4.9% for 2013 (2012: 4.2%)
-- The Italy salary advance loans portfolio was closed to new business in August 2012, and the increasing proportion of outstanding balances in recovery primarily reflects the reduction in loans and advances
-- Iberia cards portfolios showed improved arrears rates, notably during H213 reflecting the tightening of credit risk strategies through the recessionary period, combined with the non-recurrence of one-off events in 2012 which included challenges in migrating to a new card management system and enhancing collections tools
1 South Africa Cards now includes the acquired Edcon portfolio in both 2012 (figures reflect only the last 2 months of 2012) and 2013 figures. The outstanding acquired balances have been excluded from the recoveries impairment coverage ratio on the basis that the portfolio has been recognised on acquisition at fair value during 2012 (with no related impairment allowance). Impairment allowances have been recognised as appropriate where these relate to the period post acquisition.
2 The recoveries impairment coverage ratio for Italy salary advance loans is lower than unsecured portfolios as these loans are extended to customers where the repayment is made via a salary deduction at source by qualifying employers often through 3rd party payment collection companies and Barclays is insured in the event of termination of employment or death.
3 Gross charge-off rates are calculated over average monthly outstanding balances through the year.

- The reduction in arrears and charge-off rates in South Africa was driven by improvements in collections capabilities and stable performance of the existing portfolio
Business Lending
- Business lending primarily relates to small and medium enterprises typically with exposures up to GBP3m or with a turnover up to GBP5m
- The portfolio is managed in two ways: arrears managed and early warning list (EWL) managed
- Arrears Managed accounts are principally customers with an exposure limit less than GBP50,000 in the UK and EUR100,000 in Europe, with processes designed to manage a homogeneous set of assets. Arrears Balances reflects the total balances of accounts which are past due on payments
- EWL Managed accounts are customers that exceed the Arrears Managed limits and are monitored with standard processes that record heightened levels of risk through an EWL grading. EWL balances comprise of a list of three categories graded in line with the perceived severity of the risk attached to the lending, and can include customers that are up to date with contractual payments or subject to forbearance as appropriate

Credit Risk
- While UK business lending balances increased by 3%, closer management of the portfolio has reduced the level of arrears and EWL balances leading to a reduction in recoveries balances
- The reduction in business lending balances in Spain and Portugal was primarily due to the tightening of credit policy and a reduction in new business volumes
- The loan loss rates in Spain increased to 608bps (2012: 210bps) primarily due to the impact of changes in the renewable energy sector impacting the cash flow of customers in this sector and the difficult macro environment. EWL balances in Spain as a percentage of drawn balances reduced significantly following the review of cases and identification of performing assets that were moved to the performing book
- The loan loss rates in Portugal increased to 691bps (2012: 503bps) driven by increasing charge-off rates and recovery balances due to the macro-economic environment

- The total of gross loans and advances to customers and banks in the wholesale customer portfolios has remained stable at GBP239.3bn. This reflects currency movements in Africa RBB offset by an increase in Wealth and Investment Management, primarily reflecting growth in the home loans portfolio
- The loan impairment charge decreased 27% to GBP901m principally due to lower charges in Corporate Banking, mainly as a result of lower charges in Europe, reflecting actions to reduce exposure to the Spanish property and construction sectors and, in the UK, against large corporate clients. Impairment in Investment Bank was 9% higher than 2012 and was principally driven by a charge against a single name exposure in Q213
- The lower impairment charge coupled with the lower loan balances resulted in a loan loss rate of 38bps (2012: 51bps)

Wholesale Forbearance programmes
- Wholesale client relationships are individually managed and lending and forbearance decisions are made with reference to specific circumstances and on bespoke terms
- Forbearance takes place when a concession is made on the contractual terms of a loan in response to an obligor's financial difficulties
- Forbearance occurs when Barclays grants a concession:
- below current Barclays standard terms (i.e. lending criteria below our current lending terms); and
- for reasons relating to the actual or perceived financial difficulty of a client
- This includes all troubled debt restructures granted below our standard rates but excludes loans that have been renegotiated for commercial reasons that are not indicative of increased credit risk
- Personal and Trusts include Wealth and Investment Management clients that are, at the time of origination, high net worth individuals who use funds and trusts to organise their personal financial affairs

- Total impairment allowances held against forbearance balances reduced by 22% to GBP891m representing a coverage of 26.3% (2012: 27.0%)
- Corporate borrowers accounted for 90% (2012: 89%) of balances and 94% (2012: 95%) of impairment booked to forbearance exposures, with impairment representing 28% (2012: 29%) of forbearance balances
- Corporate Banking accounted for 59% (2012: 58%) of overall Wholesale forbearance with forbearance exposures in Corporate Banking in the UK accounting for 23% (2012: 16%) of total Wholesale forbearance balances and Corporate Banking in Spain accounting for 20% (2012: 29%). Corporate Banking in Spain accounted for 42% (2012: 45%) of total impairment booked to forbearance exposures
- The overall reduction in forbearance balances was driven primarily by full and partial repayments and balances written off or moved to recoveries
- The 19% reduction in Corporate Banking forbearance to GBP2,003m was driven primarily by reductions in Spain, which is predominantly property and construction exposure. This reflects the overall strategic drive to reduce exposure in the Spanish Corporate portfolio, including a small number of write offs taken as a result of debt sales
- Wealth forbearance increased 7% to GBP728m driven by a combination of current EWL cases moving into forbearance, specifically due to a large number of property deals, along with newly reported cases booked in USA, Spain and Jersey. The increase was partially offset by balance reductions as a result of repayments or cases returned to performing, as well as balances that moving to full legal recovery or being written off in the year
- Reductions in Investment Bank forbearance balances were primarily driven by repayment by clients and the sale of debt/assets
- Movements into forbearance were principally in Corporate Banking and Wealth and Investment Management, which accounted for 62% and 19% respectively of balances added to forbearance

Group exposures to Eurozone countries
- The Group recognises the credit and market risk resulting from the ongoing volatility in the Eurozone and continues to monitor events closely while taking coordinated steps to mitigate the risks associated with the challenging economic environment
- During 2013 the Group's net on-balance sheet exposures to Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Cyprus and Greece reduced by 11% to GBP53bn, principally due to Sovereign exposure decreasing 60% to GBP2.2bn with areduction in Spanish and Italian government bonds held as available for sale
- As at 31 December 2013, the local net funding deficit in Italy was EUR11.6bn (2012: EUR11.8bn) and the deficit in Portugal was EUR3.0bn (2012: EUR4.1bn). The net funding surplus in Spain was EUR3.1bn (2012: EUR2.3bn). Barclays continues to monitor the potential impact of the Eurozone volatility on local balance sheet funding and will consider actions as appropriate to manage the risk
Summary of Group exposures
- The following table shows Barclays exposure to Eurozone countries monitored internally as being higher risk and thus being the subject of particular management focus. Detailed analysis on the exposures within Spain, Italy and Portugal are on pages 93 to 96(1) . The basis of preparation is consistent with that described in the 2012 Annual Report
- The net exposure provides the most appropriate measure of the credit risk to which the Group is exposed. The gross exposure is also presented below, alongside off-balance sheet contingent liabilities and commitments

- Corporate exposure reduced 24% to GBP7.1bn, largely reflecting reduced lending in Italy and Portugal, partially offset by increased trading assets in Spain
- Exposures to financial institutions increased by 14% to GBP6.5bn, with increasedexposure in Ireland relating to securitised lending offset predominately by reductions in exposures for Spain and Italy

Credit Risk
Credit derivatives referencing Eurozone sovereign debt
- The Group enters into credit mitigation arrangements (principally credit default swaps and total return swaps) for which the reference asset is government debt. For Spain, Italy and Portugal, these have the net effect of reducing the Group's exposure in the event of sovereign default

- Credit derivatives are contracts whereby the default risk of an asset (reference asset) is transferred from the buyer to the seller of the credit derivative contract
- Credit derivatives referencing sovereign assets are bought and sold to support client transactions and for risk management purposes
- The contract notional amount represents the size of the credit derivative contracts that have been bought or sold, while the fair value represents the change in the value of the reference asset
- The net protection or exposure from credit derivatives in the event of sovereign default amount represents a net purchase or sale of insurance by the Group. This insurance reduces or increases the Group's total exposure and should be considered alongside the direct exposures disclosed in the preceding pages
Eurozone balance sheet redenomination risk
- Redenomination risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group should one or more countries exit the Euro, leading to the devaluation of local balance sheet assets and liabilities. The Group is directly exposed to redenomination risk where there is a mismatch between the level of locally denominated assets and liabilities
- Within Barclays, retail banking, corporate banking and wealth management activities in the Eurozone are generally booked locally within each country. Locally booked customer assets and liabilities, primarily loans and advances to customers and customer deposits, are predominantly denominated in Euros. The remaining funding need is met through local funding secured against customer loans and advances, with any residual need funded through the Group
- During 2013, the net funding mismatch decreased EUR0.2bn to EUR11.6bn in Italy and EUR1.1bn to EUR3.0bn in Portugal. The surplus in Spain increased EUR0.8bn to EUR3.1bn
- Barclays continues to monitor the potential impact of the Eurozone volatility on local balance sheet funding and will consider actions as appropriate to manage the risk
- Direct exposure to Greece is very small with negligible net funding required from Group. For Ireland there is no local balance sheet funding requirement by the Group as total liabilities in this country exceed total assets
Market Risk
Analysis of the Investment Bank's market risk exposure
-- Investment Bank is exposed to traded market risk as a result of facilitating client transactions in wholesale financial markets. This involves providing risk management solutions, syndication facilities and market making activities globally
-- Daily Value at Risk (DVaR) is one of the primary risk metrics used at the Investment Bank to measure and control market risk exposure. This measure is further supplemented with additional metrics used to manage the firm's trading exposures such as market risk stress testing
-- Investment Bank's management DVaR is calculated at a 95% confidence level, assuming a one day holding period. The calculation is based on historical simulation of the most recent two years of data. This is supplemented with add-ons if necessary to ensure risk is adequately represented. DVaR is calculated and reported internally on a daily basis against set limits
-- DVaR models and methodology are continually tested, validated and improved

Total DVaR 29 39 21 38 75 27
-- Average Management DVaR reduced in 2013 due to a combination of risk reduction and improved market conditions, notably, tightening of credit spreads
-- The three main contributors to total DVaR were credit, interest rate and spread risks. From average 2012 levels, average DVaR for credit risk fell by GBP8m (31%), interest rate risk fell by GBP1m (7%) and spread risk fell by GBP12m (52%). Average DVaR for the Investment Bank fell by GBP9m (24%)
-- The business remained within the Management DVaR limits approved by the Board Financial Risk Committee throughout 2013 for both risk type VaR and total DVaR
-- Barclays Investment Bank's market risk models are approved by the PRA to calculate regulatory capital for designated trading book portfolios. The measures are Daily Value at Risk, Stressed Value at Risk, Incremental Risk Charge and the All Price Risk measure
-- For regulatory market risk capital calculations, DVaR is calculated at the 99% level. The model is subject to daily back-testing, where it is compared to profit and loss figures during the year. The DVaR model has performed well in back-testing and maintains its Green categorisation, as defined by the PRA
1 The high and low DVaR figures reported for each category did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low total DVaR. Consequently a diversification effect balance for the high and low DVaR balances would not be meaningful.
Financial Statement Notes
1. Basis of preparation
The Results Announcement has been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as those used in the 2012 Annual Report, except for the following accounting standards which were adopted by the Group on 1 January 2013:
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 10 replaced requirements in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. This introduced new criteria to determine whether entities in which the Group has interests should be consolidated. The implementation of IFRS 10 resulted in the Group consolidating some entities that were previously not consolidated and deconsolidating some entities that were previously consolidated, principally impacting the consolidation of additional entities in the Investment Bank with credit market exposures.
IAS 19 (Revised 2011) Employee Benefits
IAS 19 (Revised 2011), amongst other changes, requires actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit pension schemes to be recognised in full. Previously the Group deferred these over the remaining average service lives of the employees (known as the 'corridor' approach).
Comparatives have been fully restated for IFRS 10 and IAS 19 standards in accordance with their transition requirements.
The Group published a restatement document on 16 April 2013 describing the financial impacts of IFRS 10 and IAS 19.
The financial impact on the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 had IFRS 10 and IAS 19 been adopted is shown in the table below:

Total shareholders' equity 62,957 (477) (2,494) 59,986
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13 provides comprehensive guidance on how to calculate the fair value of financial and non-financial assets. The adoption of IFRS 13 did not have a material financial impact on the Group.
Future accounting developments
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 will change the classification and therefore the measurement of the Group's financial assets, the recognition of impairment and hedge accounting. In addition to these changes, the effect of changes in the Group's own credit risk on the fair value of financial liabilities that the group designates at fair value through profit and loss will be included in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement. A number of the significant proposals have yet to be finalised and it is therefore not yet possible to estimate the financial effects. The effective date of IFRS 9 is still to be determined.
Financial Statement Notes
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation
IAS 32, Amendments to Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, is effective from 1 January 2014. The circumstances in which netting is permitted have been clarified; in particular what constitutes a currently legally enforceable right of set-off and the circumstances in which gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement. The amendments are expected to gross up certain financial assets and financial liabilities in the balance sheet that were previously reported net, but will have no impact on shareholders equity, profit or loss, other comprehensive income, or cash flows, and no significant impact on the Common equity Tier 1 ratio or CRD IV leverage ratio.
Going Concern
The Group's business activities and financial position, the factors likely to affect its future development and performance, and its objectives and policies in managing the financial risks to which it is exposed and its capital are discussed in the Results by Business, Performance Management and Risk Management sections.
The Directors confirm they are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing accounts.

Total administration and general expenses 7,817 7,095
Administration and general expenses have increased 10% to GBP7,817m. This was driven by increased infrastructure costs due to the Transform programme and costs to meet new regulatory requirements such as Dodd-Frank Act and CRD IV and an increase in the UK bank levy reflecting the increased rate. Increases in provisions for litigation and regulatory penalties were offset by the non-recurrence of the GBP290m penalty incurred in 2012 arising from the industry wide investigation into the setting of inter-bank offered rates.
1 The Group has realigned outsourcing costs from administration and general expenses to staff costs in order to more appropriately reflect the nature and internal management of these costs. The net effect of these movements is to reduce administration and general expenses and increase staff costs by GBP1,084m in 2013 and GBP999m in 2012.

Tax charge 1,571 616
The tax charge of GBP1,571m (2012: GBP616m) represented an effective tax rate of 54.8% (2012: 77.3%) on profit before tax of GBP2,868m (2012: GBP797m). The effective tax rate decreased mainly due to the non-recurrence of the factors that increased the rate in 2012, principally the combination of significant losses in the UK (with relief at the UK statutory rate of 24.5%) and profits outside the UK taxed at higher rates.
The effective tax rate is higher than the UK statutory tax rate of 23.25% (2012: 24.5%) mainly due to profits outside of the UK taxed at higher local statutory tax rates, a write down of the deferred tax assets in Spain, other deferred tax assets not recognised, non creditable taxes and non deductible items including the UK bank levy, partially offset by non taxable income, adjustments in respect of prior years and deferred tax asset measurement adjustments.

The deferred tax asset of GBP4,807m (2012: GBP3,563m) mainly relates to amounts in the UK, US and Spain. The deferred tax asset has increased mainly due to movements in temporary differences relating to cash flow hedging in the UK and an increase in the deferred tax asset in the US mainly due to adjustments in respect of prior years and measurement adjustments, partially offset by the write down of the deferred tax asset in Spain.
A change in Spanish law in December 2013 resulted in the protection of certain deferred tax assets, mainly relating to pensions and impairments, whilst the remaining deferred tax assets (that are not protected by the change in law) continue to be reliant on future profits. Based on the current assessment of business forecasts there is insufficient evidence that future profits will be available to utilise unprotected deferred tax assets for accounting purposes. As such only the protected
deferred tax assets continue to be recognised resulting in a write down of GBP440m.

For qualifying US and Canadian resident ADR holders, the final dividend of 3.5p per ordinary share becomes 14p per ADS (representing four shares). The ADR depositary will post the final dividend on 28 March 2014 to ADR holders on the record at close of business on 21 February 2014.
1 The basic weighted average number of shares excludes Treasury shares held in employee benefit trusts or held for trading. The rights issue in October 2013 resulted in the issue of an additional 3,219m shares. In accordance with IAS 33, a retrospective adjustment has been applied to the basic weighted average number of shares in issue for the prior period which has resulted in a movement from a loss per share of 5.1p to a loss per share of 4.8p.

Level 3 assets increased by GBP7.5bn from GBP25.4bn to GBP32.9bn. The significant movements in the Level 3 positions during the year ended 31 December 2013 are as follows:
-- Transfers in amounting to GBP15.7bn arising primarily from the transfer of the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority ('ESHLA') loan portfolio from Level 2 to Level 3 following reassessment of the significance of unobservable loan spreads on valuation. The valuation of the ESHLA portfolio continues to be based on internally modelled spreads. Valuation uncertainty arises mainly from the long dated nature of the portfolio, the lack of active secondary market in the loans and the lack of observable loan spreads
-- Sales of GBP10.0bn of which GBP3.9bn was related to Exit Quadrant disposals, GBP2.9bn in asset backed securities and GBP1.7bn in commercial real estate loans were largely driven by securitisation activity
-- Purchases of GBP6.0bn of which GBP2.8bn in asset backed securities and GBP1.5bn in commercial real estate loans were largely driven by securitisation activity
-- Settlements of GBP1.9bn and a reduction in derivative assets of GBP1.2bn due to fair value movements and trade maturities

Sensitivity analysis
Sensitivity analysis is performed on products with significant unobservable parameters (Level 3) to generate a range of reasonably possible alternative valuations. The sensitivity methodologies applied take account of the nature of valuation techniques used, as well as the availability and reliability of observable proxy and historical data and the impact of using alternative models. Sensitivities are calculated without reflecting the impact of any diversification in the portfolio.
The effect of stressing unobservable inputs to a range of reasonably possible alternatives alongside considering the impact of using alternative models would be to increase fair values by up to GBP1.3bn (2012: GBP2.0bn(1) ) or to decrease fair values by up to GBP2.4bn (2012: GBP2.0bn(1) ; ESHLA transfer contributed GBP1.0bn to the change in decrease) with substantially all the potential effect impacting profit and loss rather than other comprehensive income.

- Bid offer and other exit adjustments have reduced by GBP46m to GBP406m and by GBP86m to GBP208m respectively during 2013 as a result of movements in market bid offer spreads
- Uncollateralised derivative funding adjustments have reduced by GBP34m to GBP67m as a result of reductions in Barclays funding costs and a reduction in exposure
- Derivative credit valuation adjustments reduced by GBP544m to GBP384m primarily as a result of a reduction in monoline exposure and improvements in counterparty credit
- Derivative debit valuation adjustments have reduced by GBP132m to GBP310m primarily as a result of improvements in Barclays credit
10. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
In accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the Group reports financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis on the balance sheet only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The following table shows the impact of netting arrangements on:
i. all financial assets and liabilities that are reported net on the balance sheet; and
ii. all derivative financial instruments and reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending and borrowing agreements that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, but do not qualify for balance sheet netting.
The table identifies the amounts that have been offset in the balance sheet and also those amounts that are covered by enforceable netting arrangements (offsetting arrangements and financial collateral) but do not qualify for netting under the requirements of IAS 32 described above.
The 'Net amounts' presented below are not intended to represent the Group's actual exposure to credit risk, as a variety of credit mitigation strategies are employed in addition to netting and collateral arrangements.
1 The sensitivity analysis for 2012 has been revised to reflect the inclusion of investment property. This amounted to GBP0.1bn.

1 Amounts offset for Derivative financial assets includes cash collateral netted of GBP1,965m (2012: GBP6,506m). Amounts offset for Derivative liabilities includes cash collateral netted of GBP2,445m (2012: GBP4,957m). Settlements assets and liabilities have been offset amounting to GBP6,967m (2012: GBP9,879m). No other significant recognised financial assets and liabilities were offset in the balance sheet. Therefore, the only balance sheet categories necessary for inclusion in the table are those shown above.
2 The table excludes Reverse repurchase agreements designated at fair value which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements of GBP2bn (2012: GBP3bn).
3 Financial collateral is reflected at its fair value, but has been limited to the net balance sheet exposure so as not to include any over-collateralisation.

5 The balance sheet total is the sum of 'Net amounts reported on the balance sheet' that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements and 'Amounts not subject to enforceable netting arrangements'.
6 Comparative figures have been revised to reflect the identification of additional contracts with enforceable netting arrangements. Net Amounts reported on the balance sheet have increased GBP12,795m and GBP27,049m for Reverse repurchase agreements and Repurchase agreements respectively. A corresponding decrease was noted within Amounts not subject to enforceable netting arrangements. Financial collateral increased GBP12,293m for Reverse repurchase agreements and GBP26,810m for Repurchase agreements. Net Amount increased GBP502m for Reverse repurchase agreements and GBP239m for Repurchase agreements.
Financial Statement Notes
Related amounts not offset
Derivative assets and liabilities
The 'Financial instruments' column identifies financial assets and liabilities that are subject to set off under netting agreements, such as the ISDA Master Agreement or derivative exchange or clearing counterparty agreements, whereby all outstanding transactions with the same counterparty can be offset and close-out netting applied across all outstanding transaction covered by the agreements if an event of default or other predetermined events occur.
Financial collateral refers to cash and non-cash collateral obtained, typically daily or weekly, to cover the net exposure between counterparties by enabling the collateral to be realised in an event of default or if other predetermined events occur.
These categories are not mutually exclusive. For example, derivatives included in the 'Financial instruments' column may also be covered by collateral arrangements.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending and borrowing
The 'Financial instruments' column identifies financial assets and liabilities that are subject to set off under netting agreements, such as global master repurchase agreements and global master securities lending agreements, whereby all outstanding transactions with the same counterparty can be offset and close-out netting applied across all outstanding transactions covered by the agreements if an event of default or other predetermined events occur.
Financial collateral typically comprises highly liquid securities which are legally transferred and can be liquidated in the event of counterparty default.
As with derivative assets and liabilities above, these categories are not mutually exclusive.

Total 7,685 7,915
At 31 December 2013, goodwill carried on the Group's balance sheet amounted to GBP4,878m (2012: GBP5,206m). The goodwill principally comprises GBP3,142m in UK RBB (2012: GBP3,144m), GBP690m in Africa RBB (2012: GBP863m), GBP482m in Barclaycard (2012: GBP514m) and GBP312m in Wealth and Investment Management (2012: GBP391m).
Goodwill is reviewed for indicators of impairment quarterly and tested for impairment on an annual basis by comparing the carrying value to its recoverable amount.
During 2013, the Group recognised an impairment charge of GBP79m (2012: nil) in respect of goodwill attributable to businesses acquired in a previous period by Wealth and Investment Management. Following a streamlining of operations within Wealth and Investment Management, the forecast future cashflows from these businesses have been revised and no longer support the carrying value of the goodwill. As a result the attributable goodwill balances have been fully impaired.
The remaining GBP249m goodwill decrease was driven by currency translation differences, largely due to the impact of the depreciation of ZAR against GBP on the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Absa.

Other movements in the period include reduction of GBP1,262m in the fair values of hedged subordinated liabilities, driven by increases in interest rates from December 2012. Other movements also include reductions of GBP296m due to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily arising from the strengthening of GBP against USD and ZAR.

Conduct Remediation
Conduct provisions comprise the estimated cost of making redress payments to customers for losses or damages associated with inappropriate judgement in the execution of our business activities. Conduct remediation largely relates to payment protection insurance and interest rate hedging products but also includes other smaller provisions across the retail and corporate businesses which are likely to be utilised within the next 18 months.
Payment Protection Insurance Redress
Following the conclusion of the 2011 Judicial Review, Barclays has raised provisions totalling GBP3.95bn against the cost of PPI redress and complaint handling costs. As at 31 December 2013 GBP2.98bn of the provision had been utilised, leaving a residual provision of GBP0.97bn.
Through to 31 December 2013, 1.0m (2012: 0.6m) customer initiated claims(1) had been received and processed. The monthly volume of claims received has declined by 59% since the peak in May 2012, although the rate of decline has been less than previously expected. As a result an additional provision of GBP1.35bn was recognised in June 2013 to reflect this increased expectation of claims, a corresponding increase in cases referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and associated operational costs.
1 Total claims received to date excluding those for which no PPI policy exists and excluding responses to proactive mailing. The volume for 31 December 2012 has been restated to exclude cases where there was no PPI policy: previously 1.1m.
Financial Statement Notes
In August 2012, in accordance with regulatory standards, Barclays commenced a proactive mailing of the holders of approximately 750,000 policies. Of this population approximately 660,000 (2012: 100,000) had been contacted by 31 December 2013 and it is anticipated that the remainder will be contacted by 31 March 2014.
To date Barclays has upheld 74% (2012: 70%) of all claims received(2) , excluding payment of gestures of goodwill and claims for which no PPI policy exists. The average redress per valid policy(3) to date is GBP1,763 (2012: GBP1,705), comprising, where applicable, the refund of premium, compound interest charged and compensatory interest of 8%.
The current provision is calculated using a number of key assumptions which continue to involve significant management judgement:
- Customer initiated claim volumes - claims received but not yet processed as at 31 December 2013 and an estimate of future claims initiated by customers where the volume is anticipated to decline over time
- Proactive response rate - volume of claims in response to proactive mailing
- Uphold rate - the percentage of claims that are upheld as being valid upon review
- Average claim redress - the expected average payment to customers for upheld claims based on the type and age of the policy/policies.
These assumptions remain subjective; in particular due to the uncertainty associated with future claims levels. The resulting provision represents Barclays' best estimate of all future expected costs of PPI redress. However, it is possible the eventual outcome may differ from the current estimate and if this were to be material and adverse a further provision will be made, otherwise it is expected that any residual costs will be handled as part of normal operations. The provision also includes an estimate of our claims handling costs and those costs associated with claims that are subsequently referred to the FOS.
The following table details, by key assumption, actual data through to 31 December 2013, forecast assumptions used in the provision calculation and a sensitivity analysis illustrating the impact on the provision if the future expected assumptions prove too high or too low.

During 2013, 45% (2012: 44%) of monthly average complaints received had no PPI associated with them. Furthermore, of the complaints received in 2013, 54% (2012: 43%) were from Claims Management Companies (CMC's), with this proportion rising to 70% in December 2013.

Interest Rate Hedging Product Redress
GBPm
As at 31 December 2012 814
Increase in provision in period 650
Utilisation of provision in period (295)
As at 31 December 2013 1,169
On 29 June 2012, the FSA announced that a number of UK banks, including Barclays, would conduct a review and redress exercise in respect of interest rate hedging products sold on or after 1 December 2001 to retail clients or private customers categorised as being 'non-sophisticated' under the terms of the agreement. Barclays sold interest rate hedging products to approximately 4,000 retail clients or private customers within the relevant timeframe, of which approximately 2,900 have been categorised as non-sophisticated.
As at 31 December 2012, a provision of GBP850m had been recognised, reflecting management's best estimate of future redress to customers categorised as non-sophisticated and related costs. The estimate was based on an extrapolation of the results of an initial pilot exercise across the population. The provision recognised in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2012 was GBP814m, after utilisation of GBP36m, primarily related to administrative costs.
During 2013, additional cases have been reviewed and further guidance has been provided by the FCA providing additional information upon which to estimate the provision. As a result, an additional provision of GBP650m was recognised in June 2013, bringing the cumulative expense to GBP1,500m. The provision recognised as at 31 December 2013 was GBP1,169m, after cumulative utilisation of GBP331m, primarily relating to administrative costs and GBP87m of redress costs incurred. An initial redress outcome had been communicated to nearly 30% of customers categorised as non-sophisticated that are being covered by the review.
The form of redress for each non-sophisticated customer is uncertain. It may result in a full refund, as though the product had never been purchased, or an alternative product such as a cap. In addition, not all customers will be entitled to redress because some sales will have complied with relevant regulatory requirements at the time of sale.
The ultimate redress cost is also dependent on:
- The fair value of the underlying product and is therefore variable if interest rates move significantly;
- The administrative costs of completing the review and redress exercise;
- The length of time taken to complete the exercise, since an 8% p.a. interest charge is payable on product refund amounts.
No provision has been recognised in relation to claims from customers categorised as sophisticated, which are not covered by the redress exercise, or incremental consequential loss claims (above the 8% p.a. interest charge) from customers categorised as non-sophisticated. As at 31 December 2013, no significant incremental consequential loss claims from customers categorised as non-sophisticated had been agreed. These items will be monitored and future provisions will be recognised to the extent an obligation resulting in a probable outflow is identified.
While the Group expects that the provision as at 31 December 2013 will be sufficient to cover the full cost of completing the redress, the appropriate provision level will be kept under review and it is possible that the eventual costs could materially differ to the extent experience is not in line with current estimates.
Litigation
The Group is engaged in various legal proceedings, both in the UK and a number of other overseas jurisdictions, including the US. For further information in relation to legal proceedings and discussion of the associated uncertainties please see Note 19 - Legal, Competition and Regulatory Matters.
Redundancy & Restructuring
The provision relates to the cost of redundancy and organisational restructuring initiatives undertaken by the Group. During 2013 the provision increased to GBP317m to GBP388m largely due to the Transform programme and will likely be utilised within the next 12 months.
Financial Statement Notes
14. Retirement Benefits
As at 31 December 2013, the Group's IAS 19 (Revised) pension deficit across all schemes was GBP1.8bn (2012: GBP1.2bn). The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group's main scheme, had a deficit of GBP1.4bn (2012: GBP0.8bn).
The movement for the UKRF is largely due to an increase in the UK inflation rate assumption to 3.42% (2012: 2.93%), partially offset by an increase in UK discount rate to 4.46% (2012: 4.31%). From December 2013, the rate is taken based on the single equivalent discount rate implied by the Towers Watson RATE Link model. In 2012, an average rate derived from the AA corporate bond yield curve and the Towers Watson RATE link model was used. The impact of this change on the UKRF Defined Benefit Obligation was a GBP0.4bn decrease with no impact on current year profit.
The triennial funding valuation of the UKRF is currently underway with an effective date of 30 September 2013. Contribution requirements, including any deficit recovery plans, will be agreed between the Bank and Trustee by the end of 2014. The previous triennial funding valuation at 30 September 2010 showed a deficit of GBP5.0bn. Under the agreed recovery plan, deficit contributions of GBP1.8bn were paid to the fund in December 2011 and a further GBP0.5bn paid in April 2012. Further deficit contributions are payable from 2017 to 2021 starting at GBP0.7bn in 2017 and increasing by approximately 3.5% per annum until 2021. These deficit contributions are in addition to the regular contributions to meet the Group's share of the cost of benefits accruing over each year.
In non-valuation years the Scheme Actuary prepares an annual update of the funding position. The latest annual update was carried out as at 30 September 2012 and showed a deficit of GBP3.6bn.
15. Called Up Share Capital
Called up share capital comprises 16,113m (2012: 12,243m) ordinary shares of 25p each. The increase was primarily due to the Barclays PLC rights issue in Q4 2013 under which 3,219m new shares were issued.
As at 31 December 2013, there were no unexercised warrants (2012: 379.2m).
16. Other Equity Instruments
Other equity instruments include issuances during Q4 2013 of Additional Tier 1 ("AT1") securities, which consisted of Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual Subordinated Contingent Convertible Securities with an aggregate principal amount of $2bn and EUR1bn. The securities are perpetual securities with no fixed maturity or redemption date.
17. Other Reserves
Currency Translation Reserve
As at 31 December 2013 there was a debit balance of GBP1,142m (2012: GBP59m credit) on the currency translation reserve. The decrease of GBP1,201m (2012: GBP1,289m decrease) principally reflected the depreciation of ZAR and USD against Sterling. The currency translation reserve associated with non-controlling interests decreased by GBP566m (2012: GBP259m) due to the depreciation of ZAR against Sterling.
During the period, a GBP5m net gain (2012: GBP24m gain) from the currency translation reserve was recognised in the income statement.
Available for Sale Reserve
As at 31 December 2013 there was a credit balance of GBP148m in the available for sale reserve (2012: GBP527m credit). The decrease of GBP379m (2012: GBP502m increase) principally reflected the GBP2.7bn losses from changes in fair value on Government Bonds offset by GBP2.4bn gains transferred to the income statement due to fair value hedging.
Cash Flow Hedging Reserve
The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on effective cash flow hedging instruments that will be recycled to the income statement when the hedged transactions affect profit or loss.
As at 31 December 2013 there was a credit balance of GBP273m (2012: GBP2,099m credit) in the cash flow hedging reserve. The decrease of GBP1,826m (2012: GBP657m increase) principally reflected GBP1,881m decreases in the fair value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes as interest rate forward curves increased and GBP509m gains transferred to net profit, partly offset by a deferred tax credit of GBP553m.
Financial Statement Notes
Treasury Shares
As at 31 December 2013 there was a debit balance of GBP41m (2012: GBP22m debit) in other reserves relating to treasury shares. The increase principally reflected GBP1,066m (2012: GBP979m) of net purchases of treasury shares held for the purposes of employee share schemes, partially offset by GBP1,047m (2012: GBP946m) transferred to retained earnings reflecting the vesting of deferred share based payments.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)
The FSCS is the UK's Government backed compensation scheme for customers of authorised institutions that are unable to pay claims. It provides compensation to depositors in the event that UK licensed deposit taking institutions are unable to meet their claims. The FSCS raises levies on UK licensed deposit taking institutions to meet such claims based on their share of UK deposits on 31 December of the year preceding the scheme year (which runs from 1 April to 31 March).
Compensation has previously been paid out by the FSCS funded by loan facilities totalling approximately GBP18bn provided by HM Treasury to FSCS in support of FSCS's obligations to the depositors of banks declared in default. The interest rate chargeable on the loan and levied to the industry, is subject to a floor equal to the HM Treasury's own cost of borrowing, based on the relevant gilt rate (FSCS advises financial institutions to apply the 2024 UK Gilt rate published by the Debt Management Office to the Bradford & Bingley portion of the loan). The majority of the facility is expected to be recovered, with the exception of an estimated shortfall of GBP1bn which the FSCS intends to recover by levying the industry in three instalments across 2013, 2014 and 2015. In November 2013 HM Treasury communicated via the FSCS an additional expected shortfall in recoveries from Dunfermline Building Society, to be collected starting with an interim levy of GBP100m in 2014. Barclays has included an accrual of GBP148m in other liabilities (2012: GBP156m) in respect of the Barclays portion of the total levies raised by the FSCS.
Further details on contingent liabilities relating to legal, competition and regulatory matters can be found in Note 19.

19. Legal, Competition and Regulatory Matters
Barclays PLC (BPLC), Barclays Bank PLC (BBPLC) and the Group face legal, competition and regulatory challenges, many of which are beyond our control. The extent of the impact on BPLC, BBPLC and the Group of the legal, competition and regulatory matters in which BPLC, BBPLC and the Group are or may in the future become involved cannot always be predicted but may materially impact our operations, financial results and condition and prospects.
Lehman Brothers
Background Information
In September 2009, motions were filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Bankruptcy Court) by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LBHI), the SIPA Trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc. (Trustee) and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Committee). All three motions challenged certain aspects of the transaction pursuant to which Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) and other companies in the Group acquired most of the assets of Lehman Brothers Inc. (LBI) in September 2008, as well as the court order approving the sale (Sale). The claimants sought an order voiding the transfer of certain assets to BCI, requiring BCI to return to the LBI estate any excess value BCI allegedly received, and declaring that BCI is not entitled to certain assets that it claims pursuant to the Sale documents and order approving the Sale (Rule 60 Claims). In January 2010, BCI filed its response to the motions and also filed a motion seeking delivery of certain assets that LBHI and LBI had failed to deliver as required by the Sale documents and the court order approving the Sale (together with the Trustee's competing claims to those assets, Contract Claims).
Status
In February 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an Opinion rejecting the Rule 60 Claims and deciding some of the Contract Claims in the Trustee's favour and some in favour of the Group. In July 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered final Orders implementing its Opinion. The Group and the Trustee each appealed the Bankruptcy Court's adverse rulings on the Contract Claims to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). LBHI and the Committee did not appeal the Bankruptcy Court's ruling on the Rule 60 Claims. After briefing and argument, the SDNY issued an Opinion in June 2012, reversing one of the Bankruptcy Court's rulings on the Contract Claims that had been adverse to the Group and affirming the Bankruptcy Court's other rulings on the Contract Claims. In July 2012, the SDNY issued an amended Opinion, correcting certain errors but not otherwise modifying the rulings, along with an agreed judgement implementing the rulings in the Opinion (Judgement). Under the Judgement, the Group is entitled to receive: (i) $1.1bn (GBP0.7bn) from the Trustee in respect of "clearance box" assets (Clearance Box Assets); and (ii) property held at various institutions in respect of the exchange traded derivatives accounts transferred to BCI in the Sale (ETD Margin). The Trustee has appealed the SDNY's adverse rulings to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Second Circuit). The current Judgement is stayed pending resolution of the Trustee's appeal.
Approximately $4.3bn (GBP2.6bn) of the assets to which the Group is entitled as part of the acquisition had not been received by 31 December 2013, approximately $2.7bn (GBP1.6bn) of which have been recognised as a receivable on the balance sheet as at that date. The unrecognised amount, approximately $1.6bn (GBP1.0bn) as of 31 December 2013 effectively represents a provision against the uncertainty inherent in the litigation and potential post-appeal proceedings and issues relating to the recovery of certain assets held by an institution outside the US. To the extent the Group ultimately receives in the future assets with a value in excess of the approximately $2.7bn (GBP1.6bn) recognised on the balance sheet as of 31 December 2013, it would result in a gain in income equal to such excess. It appears that the Trustee may dispute the Group's entitlement to certain of the ETD Margin even in the event the Group prevails in the pending Second Circuit appeal proceedings. Moreover, there is uncertainty regarding recoverability of a portion of the ETD Margin not yet delivered to the Group that is held by an institution outside the US. Thus, the Group cannot reliably estimate how much of the ETD Margin the Group is ultimately likely to receive. Nonetheless, if the SDNY's rulings are unaffected by
future proceedings, but conservatively assuming the Group does not receive any ETD Margin that the Group believes may be subject to a post-appeal challenge by the Trustee or to uncertainty regarding recoverability, the Group will receive assets in excess of the $2.7bn (GBP1.6bn) recognised as a receivable on the Group's balance sheet as at 31 December 2013. In a worst case scenario in which the Second Circuit reverses the SDNY's rulings and determines that the Group is not entitled to any of the Clearance Box Assets or ETD Margin, the Group estimates that, after taking into account its effective provision, its total losses would be approximately $6bn (GBP3.6 bn). Approximately $3.3bn (GBP2bn) of that loss would relate to Clearance Box Assets and ETD Margin previously received by the Group and prejudgement and post-judgement interest on such Clearance Box Assets and ETD Margin that would have to be returned or paid to the Trustee. In this context, the Group is satisfied with the valuation of the asset recognised on its balance sheet and the resulting level of effective provision.
Financial Statement Notes
Other
In May 2013 Citibank N.A. (Citi) filed an action against BBPLC in the SDNY alleging breach of an indemnity contract. In November 2008, BBPLC provided an indemnity to Citi in respect of losses incurred by Citi between 17 and 19 September 2008 in performing foreign exchange settlement services for LBI as LBI's designated settlement member with CLS Bank International. Citi did not make a demand for payment under this indemnity until 1 February 2013 when it submitted a demand that included amounts which Barclays concluded it was not obligated to pay. Citi proceeded to file the action in May 2013, in which it claimed that Barclays was responsible for a "principal loss" of $90.7m, but also claimed that BBPLC was obligated to pay Citi for certain alleged "funding losses" from September 2008 to December 2012. In a June 2013 filing with the Court, Citi claimed that, in addition to the $90.7 million principal loss claim, it was also claiming funding losses in an amount of at least $93.5 million, consisting of alleged interest losses of over $55 million and alleged capital charges of $38.5 million. Both parties filed motions for partial summary judgement, and in November 2013 the SDNY ruled that: (i) Citi may only claim statutory prejudgment interest from 1 February 2013, the date upon which it made its indemnification demand on BBPLC; (ii) to the extent that Citi can prove it incurred actual funding losses in the form of interest and capital charges between September 2008 and December 2012, it is entitled to recover these losses under the indemnity provided by BBPLC; and (iii) BBPLC is entitled under the contract to demonstrate, as a defence to the funding loss claim, that Citi had no funding losses between September 2008 and December 2012 due to the fact that it held LBI deposits during that period in an amount greater than the principal amount Citi claims it lost in performing CLS services for LBI between 17 and 19 September 2008.
American Depositary Shares
Background Information
BPLC, BBPLC and various current and former members of BPLC's Board of Directors have been named as defendants in five proposed securities class actions consolidated in the SDNY. The consolidated amended complaint, filed in February 2010, asserted claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, alleging that registration statements relating to American Depositary Shares representing preferred stock, series 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Preferred Stock ADS) offered by BBPLC at various times between 2006 and 2008 contained misstatements and omissions concerning (amongst other things) BBPLC's portfolio of mortgage-related (including US subprime-related) securities, BBPLC's exposure to mortgage and credit market risk, and BBPLC's financial condition.
Status
In January 2011, the SDNY granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, closing the case. In February 2011, the plaintiffs filed a motion asking the SDNY to reconsider in part its dismissal order, and, in May 2011, the SDNY denied in full the plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration. The plaintiffs appealed both the dismissal and the denial of the motion for reconsideration to the Second Circuit.
In August 2013, the Second Circuit upheld the dismissal of the plaintiffs' claims related to the series 2, 3 and 4 offerings, finding that they were time barred. However, the Second Circuit ruled that the plaintiffs should have been permitted to file a second amended complaint in relation to the series 5 offering claims, and remanded the action to the SDNY for further proceedings consistent with the Second Circuit's decision. In September 2013, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which purports to assert claims concerning the series 5 offering as well as dismissed claims concerning the series 2, 3 and 4 offerings, and the defendants have moved to dismiss.
BBPLC considers that these Preferred Stock ADS-related claims against it are without merit and is defending them vigorously.
Mortgage-Related Activity and Litigation
The Group's activities within the US residential mortgage sector during the period of 2005 through 2008 included sponsoring and underwriting approximately $39bn of private-label securitisations; economic underwriting exposure of approximately $34bn for other private-label securitisations; sales of approximately $0.2bn of loans to government sponsored enterprises (GSEs); and sales of approximately $3bn of loans to others. In addition, during this time period, approximately $19.4bn of loans (net of approximately $500m of loans sold during this period and subsequently repurchased) were also originated and sold to third parties by mortgage originator affiliates of an entity that the Group acquired in 2007 (Acquired Subsidiary).
Financial Statement Notes
In connection with the Group's loan sales and sponsored private-label securitisations, the Group provided certain loan level representations and warranties (R&Ws) generally relating to the underlying mortgages, the property, mortgage documentation and/or compliance with law. The Group was the sole provider of R&Ws with respect to approximately $5bn of Group sponsored securitizations, approximately $0.2bn of sales of loans to GSEs, and the approximately $3bn of loans sold to others. In addition, the Acquired Subsidiary was the sole provider of R&Ws on all of the loans it sold to third parties. Other than approximately $1bn of loans sold to others for which R&Ws expired prior to 2012, there are no stated expiration provisions applicable to the R&Ws made by the Group or the Acquired Subsidiary. The Group's R&Ws with respect to the $3bn of loans sold to others are related to loans that were generally sold at significant discounts and contained more
limited R&Ws than loans sold to GSEs, the loans sold by the Acquired Subsidiary or those provided by the Group on approximately $5bn of the Group's sponsored securitisations discussed above. R&Ws on the remaining approximately $34bn of the Group's sponsored securitisations were primarily provided by third party originators directly to the securitisation trusts with a Group subsidiary, as depositor to the securitisation trusts, providing more limited R&Ws. Under certain circumstances, the Group and/or the Acquired Subsidiary may be required to repurchase the related loans or make other payments related to such loans if the R&Ws are breached. The unresolved repurchase requests received on or before 31 December 2013 associated with all R&Ws made by the Group or the Acquired Subsidiary on loans sold to GSEs and others and private-label activities had an original unpaid principal balance of approximately $1.7bn at the time of such sale.
Repurchase Claims
Substantially all of the unresolved repurchase requests discussed above relate to civil actions that have been commenced by the trustees for certain residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) securitisations, in which the trustees allege that the Group and/or the Acquired Subsidiary must repurchase loans that violated the operative R&Ws. The trustees in these actions have alleged that the operative R&Ws may have been violated with respect to a greater (but unspecified) amount of loans than the amount of loans previously stated in specific repurchase requests made by such trustees.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Claims
The US Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), acting for two US government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, filed lawsuits against 17 financial institutions in connection with Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's purchases of RMBS. The lawsuits allege, amongst other things, that the RMBS offering materials contained materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions. BBPLC and/or certain of its affiliates or former employees are named in two of these lawsuits, relating to sales between 2005 and 2007 of RMBS in which a Group subsidiary was lead or co-lead underwriter.
Both complaints demand, amongst other things: rescission and recovery of the consideration paid for the RMBS; and recovery for Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's alleged monetary losses arising out of their ownership of the RMBS. The complaints are similar to a number of other civil actions filed against BBPLC and/or certain of its affiliates by a number of other plaintiffs relating to purchases of RMBS. The Group considers that the claims against it are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.
The original face amount of RMBS related to the claims against the Group in the FHFA actions and the other civil actions referred to above against the Group totalled approximately $9bn, of which approximately $2.6bn was outstanding as at 31 December 2013. Cumulative losses reported on these RMBS as at 31 December 2013 were approximately $0.5bn. If the Group were to lose these actions the Group believes it could incur a loss of up to the outstanding amount of the RMBS at the time of judgement (taking into account further principal payments after 31 December 2013), plus any cumulative losses on the RMBS at such time and any interest, fees and costs, less the market value of the RMBS at such time and less any reserves taken to date. The Group has estimated the total market value of these RMBS as at 31 December 2013 to be approximately $1.6bn. The Group may be entitled to indemnification for a portion of such losses.
Regulatory Inquiries
The Group has received inquiries, including subpoenas, from various regulatory and governmental authorities regarding its mortgage-related activities, and is cooperating with such inquiries.
Financial Statement Notes
Devonshire Trust
Background Information
In January 2009, BBPLC commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court seeking an order that its early terminations of two credit default swaps under an ISDA Master Agreement with the Devonshire Trust (Devonshire), an asset-backed commercial paper conduit trust, were valid. On the same day that Barclays terminated the swaps, Devonshire purported to terminate the swaps on the ground that BBPLC had failed to provide liquidity support to Devonshire's commercial paper when required to do so.
Status
In September 2011, the Ontario Superior Court ruled that BBPLC's early terminations were invalid, Devonshire's early terminations were valid and, consequently, Devonshire was entitled to receive back from BBPLC cash collateral of approximately C$533m together with accrued interest. BBPLC appealed the Ontario Superior Court's decision to the Court of Appeal for Ontario. In July 2013, the Court of Appeal delivered its decision dismissing BBPLC's appeal. In September 2013, BBPLC sought leave to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada. In January 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada denied BBPLC's application for leave to appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal. BBPLC is considering its continuing options with respect to this matter. If the Court of Appeal's decision is unaffected by any future proceedings, BBPLC estimates that its loss would be approximately C$500m, less any impairment provisions recognised to date. These provisions take full account of the Court of Appeal's decision.
LIBOR and other Benchmarks Civil Actions
Following the settlements of the investigations referred to below in "Investigations into LIBOR, ISDAfix, other benchmarks and foreign exchange rates", a number of individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group in relation to LIBOR and/or other benchmarks. The majority of the USD LIBOR cases, which have been filed in various US jurisdictions, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (MDL Court). The complaints are substantially similar and allege, amongst other things, that BBPLC and the other banks individually and collectively violated provisions of the US Sherman Act, the US Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), the US Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and various state laws by manipulating USD LIBOR rates. The lawsuits seek unspecified damages with the exception of three lawsuits, in which the plaintiffs are seeking a combined total of approximately $910m in actual damages against all defendants, including BBPLC, plus punitive damages. Some of the lawsuits seek trebling of damages under the US Sherman Act and RICO. Certain of the civil actions are proposed class actions that purport to be brought on behalf of (amongst others) plaintiffs that (i) engaged in USD LIBOR-linked over-the-counter transactions (OTC Class); (ii) purchased USD LIBOR-linked financial instruments on an exchange (Exchange-Based Class); (iii) purchased USD LIBOR-linked debt securities (Debt Securities Class); (iv) purchased adjustable-rate mortgages linked to USD LIBOR; or (v) issued loans linked to USD LIBOR.
In March 2013, the MDL Court issued a decision dismissing the majority of claims against BBPLC and the other banks in three lead proposed class actions (Lead Class Actions) and three lead individual actions (Lead Individual Actions). Following the decision, plaintiffs in the Lead Class Actions sought permission to either file an amended complaint or appeal an aspect of the March 2013 decision. In August 2013, the MDL Court denied the majority of the motions presented in the Lead Class Actions. As a result, the Debt Securities Class has been dismissed entirely; the claims of the Exchange-Based Class have been limited to claims under the CEA; and the claims of the OTC Class have been limited to claims for unjust enrichment and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Subsequent to the MDL Court's March 2013 decision, the plaintiffs in the Lead Individual Actions filed a new action in California state court (since moved to the MDL Court) based on the same allegations as those initially alleged in the proposed class action cases discussed above. Various plaintiffs may attempt to bring appeals of some or all of the MDL Court's decisions in the future.
Additionally, a number of other actions before the MDL Court remain stayed, pending further proceedings in the Lead Class Actions.
Until there are further decisions, the ultimate impact of the MDL Court's decisions will be unclear, although it is possible that the decisions will be interpreted by courts to affect other litigation, including the actions described below, some of which concern different benchmark interest rates.
Financial Statement Notes
BBPLC and other banks also have been named as defendants in other individual and proposed class actions filed in other US District Courts in which plaintiffs allege, similar to the plaintiffs in the USD LIBOR cases referenced above, that in various periods defendants either individually or collectively manipulated the USD LIBOR, Yen LIBOR, Euroyen TIBOR and/or EURIBOR rates. Plaintiffs generally allege that they transacted in loans, derivatives and/or other financial instruments whose values are affected by changes in USD LIBOR, Yen LIBOR, Euroyen TIBOR and/or EURIBOR, and assert claims under federal and state law. In October 2012, the US District Court for the Central District of California dismissed a proposed class action on behalf of holders of adjustable rate mortgages linked to USD LIBOR. Plaintiffs have appealed, and briefing of the appeal is complete.
In addition, BPLC has been granted conditional leniency from the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice (DOJ-AD) in connection with potential US antitrust law violations with respect to financial instruments that reference EURIBOR. As a result of that grant of conditional leniency, BPLC is eligible for (i) a limit on liability to actual rather than treble damages if damages were to be awarded in any civil antitrust action under US antitrust law based on conduct covered by the conditional leniency and (ii) relief from potential joint-and-several liability in connection with such civil antitrust action, subject to BPLC satisfying the DOJ-AD and the court presiding over the civil litigation of its satisfaction of its cooperation obligations.
BPLC, BBPLC and BCI have also been named as defendants along with four former officers and directors of BBPLC in a proposed securities class action pending in the SDNY in connection with BBPLC's role as a contributor panel bank to LIBOR. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the US Securities Exchange Act 1934, principally alleging that BBPLC's Annual Reports for the years 2006 to 2011 contained misstatements and omissions concerning (amongst other things) BBPLC's compliance with its operational risk management processes and certain laws and regulations. The complaint also alleges that BBPLC's daily USD LIBOR submissions constituted false statements in violation of US securities law. The complaint was brought on behalf of a proposed class consisting of all persons or entities that purchased BPLC-sponsored American Depositary Receipts on a US securities exchange between 10 July 2007 and 27 June 2012. In May 2013, the court granted BBPLC's motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. Plaintiffs have appealed, and briefing of the appeal is complete.
In addition to US actions, legal proceedings have been brought or threatened against the Group in connection with alleged manipulation of LIBOR and EURIBOR, in a number of jurisdictions. The first of which in England and Wales, brought by Graiseley Properties Limited, is set down for trial in the High Court of Justice in April 2014. The number of such proceedings, the benchmarks to which they relate, and the jurisdictions in which they may be brought are anticipated to increase over time.
Civil Actions in Respect of Foreign Exchange Trading
Since November 2013, a number of civil actions have been filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs alleging manipulation of foreign exchange markets under the US Sherman Antitrust Act and New York state law and naming several international banks as defendants, including BBPLC.
Please see below "Investigations into LIBOR, ISDAfix, other benchmarks and foreign exchange rates" for a discussion of competition and regulatory matters connected to "LIBOR and other Benchmark Civil Actions".
Investigations into LIBOR, ISDAfix, other Benchmarks and Foreign Exchange Rates
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), the US Department of Justice (DOJ) Fraud Section (DOJ-FS) and Antitrust Division (DOJ-AD), the European Commission (Commission), the United Kingdom (UK) Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Japan Financial Services Agency, the prosecutors' office in Trani, Italy and various US state attorneys general are amongst various authorities conducting investigations (Investigations) into submissions made by BBPLC and other financial institutions to the bodies that set or compile various financial benchmarks, such as LIBOR and EURIBOR.
On 27 June 2012, BBPLC announced that it had reached settlements with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) (as predecessor to the FCA), the CFTC and the DOJ-FS in relation to their Investigations and BBPLC agreed to pay total penalties of GBP290m, which were reflected in operating expenses for 2012. The settlements were made by entry into a Settlement Agreement with the FSA, a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with the DOJ-FS and a Settlement Order Agreement with the CFTC (CFTC Order). In addition, BBPLC was granted conditional leniency from the DOJ-AD in connection with potential US antitrust law violations with respect to financial instruments that reference EURIBOR.
Financial Statement Notes
The terms of the Settlement Agreement with the FSA are confidential. However, the Final Notice of the FSA, which imposed a financial penalty of GBP59.5m, is publicly available on the website of the FCA. This sets out the FSA's reasoning for the penalty, references the settlement principles and sets out the factual context and justification for the terms imposed. Summaries of the NPA and the CFTC Order are set out below. The full text of the NPA and the CFTC Order are publicly available on the websites of the DOJ and the CFTC, respectively.
In addition to a $200m civil monetary penalty, the CFTC Order requires BBPLC to cease and desist from further violations of specified provisions of the US Commodity Exchange Act and take specified steps to ensure the integrity and reliability of its benchmark interest rate submissions, including LIBOR and EURIBOR, and improve related internal controls. Amongst other things, the CFTC Order requires BBPLC to:
- make its submissions based on certain specified factors, with BBPLC's transactions being given the greatest weight, subject to certain specified adjustments and considerations;
- implement firewalls to prevent improper communications including between traders and submitters;
- prepare and retain certain documents concerning submissions and retain relevant communications;
- implement auditing, monitoring and training measures concerning its submissions and related processes;
- make regular reports to the CFTC concerning compliance with the terms of the CFTC Order;
- use best efforts to encourage the development of rigorous standards for benchmark interest rates; and
- continue to cooperate with the CFTC's ongoing investigation of benchmark interest rates.
As part of the NPA, BBPLC agreed to pay a $160m penalty. In addition, the DOJ agreed not to prosecute BBPLC for any crimes (except for criminal tax violations, as to which the DOJ cannot and does not make any agreement) related to BBPLC's submissions of benchmark interest rates, including LIBOR and EURIBOR, contingent upon BBPLC's satisfaction of specified obligations under the NPA. In particular, under the NPA, BBPLC agreed for a period of two years from 26 June 2012, amongst other things, to:
- commit no US crime whatsoever;
- truthfully and completely disclose non-privileged information with respect to the activities of BBPLC, its officers and employees, and others concerning all matters about which the DOJ inquires of it, which information can be used for any purpose, except as otherwise limited in the NPA;
- bring to the DOJ's attention all potentially criminal conduct by BBPLC or any of its employees that relates to fraud or violations of the laws governing securities and commodities markets; and
- bring to the DOJ's attention all criminal or regulatory investigations, administrative proceedings or civil actions brought by any governmental authority in the US by or against BBPLC or its employees that alleges fraud or violations of the laws governing securities and commodities markets.
BBPLC also agreed to cooperate with the DOJ and other government authorities in the US in connection with any investigation or prosecution arising out of the conduct described in the NPA, which commitment shall remain in force until all such investigations and prosecutions are concluded. BBPLC also continues to cooperate with the other ongoing investigations.
Following the settlements announced in June 2012, 31 US state attorneys general commenced their own investigations into LIBOR, EURIBOR and the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate. The New York Attorney General, on behalf of this coalition of attorneys general, issued a subpoena in July 2012 to BBPLC (and subpoenas to a number of other banks) to produce wide-ranging information and has since issued additional information requests to BBPLC for both documents and transactional data. BBPLC is responding to these requests on a rolling basis. In addition, following the settlements the SFO announced in July 2012 that it had decided to investigate the LIBOR matter, in respect of which BBPLC has received and continues to respond to requests for information.
The Commission has also been conducting investigations into the manipulation of, among other things, EURIBOR. On 4 December 2013, the Commission announced that it has reached a settlement with the Group and a number of other banks in relation to anti-competitive conduct concerning EURIBOR. The Group had voluntarily reported the EURIBOR conduct to the Commission and cooperated fully with the Commission's investigation. In recognition of this cooperation, the Group was granted full immunity from the financial penalties that would otherwise have applied.
Financial Statement Notes
The CFTC and the FCA are also conducting separate investigations into historical practices with respect to ISDAfix, amongst other benchmarks. BBPLC has received and continues to respond to subpoenas and requests for information.
Various regulatory and enforcement authorities, including the FCA in the UK, the CFTC and the DOJ in the US and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority have indicated that they are investigating foreign exchange trading, including possible attempts to manipulate certain benchmark currency exchange rates or engage in other activities that would benefit their trading positions. Certain of these investigations involve multiple market participants in various countries. BBPLC has received enquiries from certain of these authorities related to their particular investigations, and from other regulators interested in foreign exchange issues. The Group is reviewing its foreign exchange trading covering a several year period through October 2013 and is cooperating with the relevant authorities in their investigations.
For a discussion of litigation arising in connection with these investigations see "LIBOR and other Benchmarks Civil Actions" and "Civil Actions in Respect of Foreign Exchange Trading" above.
FERC
Background Information
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Office of Enforcement investigated the Group's power trading in the western US with respect to the period from late 2006 through 2008. In October 2012, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalties (Order and Notice) against BBPLC and four of its former traders in relation to this matter. In the Order and Notice, FERC asserted that BBPLC and its former traders violated FERC's Anti-Manipulation Rule by manipulating the electricity markets in and around California from November 2006 to December 2008, and proposed civil penalties and profit disgorgement to be paid by BBPLC. In July 2013, FERC issued an Order Assessing Civil Penalties in which it assessed a $435m civil penalty against BBPLC and ordered BBPLC to disgorge an additional $34.9m of profits plus interest (both of which are consistent with the amounts proposed in the Order and Notice).
Status
In October 2013, FERC filed a civil action against BBPLC and its former traders in the US District Court in California seeking to collect the penalty and disgorgement amount. FERC's complaint in the civil action reiterates the allegations previously made by FERC in its October 2012 Order and Notice and its July 2013 Order Assessing Civil Penalties. BBPLC is vigorously defending this action. BBPLC and its former traders have filed a motion to dismiss the action for improper venue or, in the alternative, to transfer it to the SDNY, and a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. In September 2013, BBPLC was contacted by the criminal division of the US Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York and advised that such office is looking at the same conduct at issue in the FERC matter.
BDC Finance L.L.C.
Background Information
In October 2008, BDC Finance L.L.C. (BDC) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (NY Supreme Court) alleging that BBPLC breached an ISDA Master Agreement and a Total Return Loan Swap Master Confirmation (Agreement) governing a total return swap transaction when it failed to transfer approximately $40m of alleged excess collateral in response to BDC's October 2008 demand (Demand). BDC asserts that under the Agreement BBPLC was not entitled to dispute the Demand before transferring the alleged excess collateral and that even if BBPLC was entitled to do so, it failed to dispute the Demand. BDC demands damages totalling $297m plus attorneys' fees, expenses, and prejudgement interest.
Status
In August 2012, the NY Supreme Court granted partial summary judgement for BBPLC, ruling that BBPLC was entitled to dispute the Demand, before transferring the alleged excess collateral, but determining that a trial was required to determine whether BBPLC actually did so. The parties cross-appealed to the Appellate Division of the NY Supreme Court (Appellate Division). In October 2013, the Appellate Division reversed the NY Supreme Court's grant of partial summary judgement to BBPLC, and instead granted BDC's motion for partial summary judgement, holding that BBPLC breached the Agreement. The Appellate Division did not rule on the amount of BDC's damages, which has not yet been determined by the NY Supreme Court. On 25 November 2013, BBPLC filed a motion with the Appellate Division for reargument or, in the alternative, for leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. In January 2014, the Appellate Division issued an order denying the motion for reargument and granting the motion for leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. In September 2011, BDC's investment advisor, BDCM Fund Adviser, L.L.C. and its parent company, Black Diamond Capital
Financial Statement Notes
Holdings, L.L.C. also sued BBPLC and BCI in Connecticut state court for unspecified damages allegedly resulting from BBPLC's conduct relating to the Agreement, asserting claims for violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and tortious interference with business and prospective business relations. The parties have agreed to a stay of that case.
Interchange Investigations
The Office of Fair Trading, as well as other competition authorities elsewhere in Europe, continues to investigate Visa and MasterCard credit and debit interchange rates. BPLC receives interchange fees, as a card issuer, from providers of card acquiring services to merchants. The key risks arising from the investigations comprise the potential for fines imposed by competition authorities, litigation and proposals for new legislation. BPLC may be required to pay fines or damages and could be affected by legislation amending interchange rules.
Interest Rate Hedging Products
See Note 13.
Credit Default Swap (CDS) Antitrust Investigations
Both the Commission and the DOJ-AD have commenced investigations in the CDS market (in 2011 and 2009, respectively). In July 2013 the Commission addressed a Statement of Objections to BBPLC and 12 other banks, Markit and ISDA. The case relates to concerns that certain banks took collective action to delay and prevent the emergence of exchange traded credit derivative products. If the Commission does reach a decision in this matter it has indicated that it intends to impose sanctions. The Commission's sanctions can include fines. The DOJ-AD's investigation is a civil investigation and relates to similar issues. Proposed class actions alleging similar issues have also been filed in the US. The timing of these cases is uncertain.
Swiss / US Tax Programme
In August 2013, the DOJ and the Swiss Federal Department of Finance announced the Programme for Non-Prosecution Agreements or Non-Targeted letters for Swiss Banks (Programme). This agreement is the consequence of a long-running dispute between the US and Switzerland regarding tax obligations of US Related Accounts held in Swiss banks.
Barclays Bank (Suisse) SA and Barclays Bank plc Geneva Branch are participating in the Programme, which requires a structured review of US accounts. This review is ongoing and the outcome of the review will determine whether any agreement will be entered into or sanction applied to Barclays Bank (Suisse) SA and Barclays Bank plc Geneva Branch. The deadline for completion of the review is 30 April 2014.
Investigations into Certain Agreements
The FCA has investigated certain agreements, including two advisory services agreements entered into by BBPLC with Qatar Holding LLC (Qatar Holding) in June and October 2008 respectively, and whether these may have related to BPLC's capital raisings in June and November 2008.
The FCA issued warning notices (Warning Notices) against BPLC and BBPLC in September 2013. The existence of the advisory services agreement entered into in June 2008 was disclosed but the entry into the advisory services agreement in October 2008 and the fees payable under both agreements, which amount to a total of GBP322m payable over a period of five years, were not disclosed in the announcements or public documents relating to the capital raisings in June and November 2008. While the Warning Notices consider that BPLC and BBPLC believed at the time that there should be at least some unspecified and undetermined value to be derived from the agreements, they state that the primary purpose of the agreements was not to obtain advisory services but to make additional payments, which would not be disclosed, for the Qatari participation in the capital raisings. The Warning Notices conclude that BPLC and BBPLC were in breach of certain disclosure-related listing rules and BPLC was also in breach of Listing Principle 3 (the requirement to act with integrity towards holders and potential holders of the company's shares). In this regard, the FCA considers that BPLC and BBPLC acted recklessly. The financial penalty in the Warning Notices against the group is GBP50m. BPLC and BBPLC continue to contest the findings.
Financial Statement Notes
The FCA proceedings are now subject to a stay pending progress in an investigation by the SFO's Fraud Office into the same agreements. The SFO's investigation is at an earlier stage and the Group has received and has continued to respond to requests for further information.
The DOJ and the SEC are undertaking an investigation into whether the Group's relationships with third parties who assist BPLC to win or retain business are compliant with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. They are also investigating the agreements referred to above including the two advisory services agreements. The US Federal Reserve has requested to be kept informed.
General
The outcomes of the matters disclosed in this note are difficult to predict. The Group has not disclosed an estimate of the potential financial effect on the Group of contingent liabilities arising from these matters where it is not practicable to do so or, in cases where it is practicable, where disclosure could prejudice conduct of the matters. Provisions have been recognised for those cases where the Group is able reliably to estimate probable losses. The Group may incur significant expense in connection with these matters, regardless of the ultimate outcome; furthermore these matters could expose the Group to any of the following: substantial monetary damages and fines; other penalties and injunctive relief; potential for additional civil or private litigation; potential for criminal prosecution in certain circumstances; potential regulatory restrictions on the Group's business; and/or a negative effect on the Group's reputation. There is also a risk that such investigations or proceedings may give rise to changes in law or regulation as part of a wider response by relevant law makers and regulators. Any of these risks, should they materialise, could have an adverse impact on the Group's operations, financial results and condition and prospects.
As mentioned above, the Group is subject to a NPA entered into with the DOJ in connection with the LIBOR investigations. Under the NPA, the Group has agreed that, for a period of two years from 26 June 2012, it will, amongst other things, commit no US crime whatsoever and will comply with certain obligations to provide information to and co-operate with US authorities. A breach of any of the NPA provisions could lead to prosecutions in relation to the Group's benchmark interest rate submissions and could have significant consequences for the Group's current and future business operations in the US.
The Group is engaged in various other legal, competition and regulatory matters both in the UK and a number of overseas jurisdictions. It is subject to legal proceedings by and against the Group which arise in the ordinary course of business from time to time, including (but not limited to) disputes in relation to contracts, securities, debt collection, consumer credit, fraud, trusts, client assets, competition, data protection, money laundering, employment, environmental and other statutory and common law issues.
The Group is also subject to enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, investigations and legal and other proceedings by regulators, governmental and other public bodies in connection with (but not limited to) consumer protection measures, compliance with legislation and regulation, wholesale trading activity and other areas of banking and business activities in which the Group is or has been engaged.
At the present time, the Group does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these other matters not disclosed in this note to which it is a party to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. The Group has not disclosed an estimate of the potential financial effect on the Group of contingent liabilities where it is not practicable to do so or, in cases where it is practicable, where disclosure could prejudice conduct of matters. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular matter or matters will not be material to the Group's results of operations or cash flow for a particular period, depending on, among other things, the amount of the loss resulting from the matter(s) and the amount of income otherwise reported for the reporting period.
20. Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions in the year ended 31 December 2013 were similar in nature to those disclosed in the Group's 2012 Annual Report. No related party transactions that have taken place in 2013 have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during this period and there were no changes in the related parties transactions described in the 2012 Annual Report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the current financial year.
One Africa
One Africa
One Africa includes Barclays Africa Group Limited, Barclays Bank Egypt SAE, Barclays Bank of Zimbabwe Limited, Barclays Bank PLC income and expense derived in Africa and Africa related management recharges.
During 2013, ownership of eight separate country operations across Africa was successfully combined with Absa to create Barclays Africa Group Limited. The combination of these businesses should allow the Group to combine a strong local presence in different countries with the benefits of being part of a global banking group. As a part of the Transform strategy, it will help reduce the cost of business, bring global relationships, products and expertise to African customers, and give African clients access to global financial markets. In addition, these changes are intended to make it easier for global clients to access African market expertise.
The income statement information presented below has been provided to give a view of the Group's operations in Africa in addition to the Africa RBB segment. The proforma income statement is a summation of the results of the Group's retail and business banking, cards, corporate and investment banking and wealth management operations across Africa, in addition to Group consolidation adjustments.
Note, the disclosure is not an operating segment under the definitions in IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

The Programme was initially offered for the second interim dividend, paid on 13 September 2013, and will also be offered for any future dividends (subject to the Directors making the Programme available for each dividend).
