We achieved our RoTE target of over 10%, maintained a strong Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of 13.9%, and returned capital to shareholders.

Demonstrating execution against our three strategic priorities:
·
Deliver next generation digitised consumer financial services: simplifying and upgrading online banking services – with over 10.5 million Barclays UK mobile banking app users, and log-ins up 8% year-on-year. c.220k ‘Rainy Day Saver’ accounts opened online since launch on 29 September 2022, 41% are new or re-joining Blue Rewards customers. In the US Consumer Bank, the Gap portfolio2 integration onto our platform doubled our US customer base to over 20 million
·
Deliver sustainable growth in the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB): 114bps of revenue share gain in Global Markets from 2019-20223; second fastest growth rate across the top 10 global peers. Investment in Financing businesses delivered more stable, high returning income of £2.9bn in 2022 reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% since 2019
·
Capture opportunities as we transition to a low-carbon economy: new expanded target to facilitate $1 trillion of Sustainable and Transition Financing by the end of 2030. The Group’s Sustainable Impact Capital investment mandate is now £500m by the end of 2027
2022 Performance highlights4:
·
Group attributable profit of £5.0bn and RoTE of 10.4%, with all operating divisions delivering double-digit returns
–
Excluding the impact of Over-issuance of Securities in the US (Over-issuance of Securities)5, RoTE was 11.6%
·
Group profit before impairment of £8.2bn, up 9% year-on-year
·
Group income of £25.0bn, up 14% year-on-year with broad-based momentum across our operating divisions and the benefit from FX:
–
CIB income increased by 8%; the best full year for both Global Markets and FICC6, and strong performance in Transaction banking, more than offsetting the impact of a reduced fee pool in Investment Banking7
–
Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) income increased by 35% supported by higher balances in US cards and Private Bank with turnover growth in Payments
–
Barclays UK income increased by 11% primarily driven by the rising rate environment
·
Group operating expenses were £16.7bn, reflecting £1.6bn of litigation and conduct charges, primarily driven by the Over-issuance of Securities
–
Group operating expenses excluding litigation and conduct were £15.1bn, up 6% year-on-year, reflecting the impact of FX and inflation
·
Credit impairment charges were £1.2bn, with a loan loss rate (LLR) of 30bps, reflecting macroeconomic deterioration, partially offset by the utilisation of post-model adjustments (PMAs) for macroeconomic uncertainty and the release of COVID-19 related adjustments informed by refreshed scenarios. Coverage ratios at the portfolio level remain strong
·
CET1 ratio of 13.9% and tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share of 295p
·
Capital distributions: total dividend for 2022 of 7.25p per share (2021: 6.0p), including a 5.0p per share 2022 full year dividend.

·
Attributable profit was £1.0bn and RoTE was 8.9% with profit before impairment of £1.8bn, up 29% year-on-year with positive cost: income jaws of 6%
·
Group income was £5.8bn, up 12% year-on-year including the benefit from FX, with strong performances in Barclays UK and CC&P. Within CIB, strong performances in Global Markets and Transaction banking were more than offset by reduced income in Investment Banking and Corporate Lending
·
Group operating expenses were £4.0bn, up 6% year-on-year, reflecting the impact of FX, inflation and investment in the business
·
Credit impairment charges were £0.5bn with an LLR of 49bps . The deteriorating macroeconomic forecast resulted in an increased charge, partially offset by utilising economic uncertainty PMAs

·
Returns: targeting RoTE of greater than 10% in 2023
·
Income: diversified income streams continue to position the Group well for the current economic and market environment including higher interest rates. In 2023, Barclays UK net interest margin (NIM) is expected to be greater than 3.20%2

·
Capital: expect to operate within the CET1 ratio target range of 13-14%
