Notes
The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the year ended 31 December 2016 to the corresponding twelve months of 2015 and balance sheet analysis as at 31 December 2016 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2015. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; and the abbreviations ‘€m’ and ‘€bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.
Comparatives have been restated to reflect the implementation of the Group business reorganisation. These restatements were detailed in our announcement on 14 April 2016, accessible at home.barclays/results.
There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.
Notable items as set out on page 5 are considered to be significant items impacting comparability of performance and have been called out for each of the business segments. Results excluding notable items have been included in the appendix.
Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the results glossary that can be accessed at home.barclays/results.
The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 22 February 2017, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (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 20-F to the SEC as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished with the SEC, copies of the Form 20-F will also be available from the Barclays Investor Relations website home.barclays/results and from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal road-shows and other ad hoc meetings. Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Group.
Non-IFRS performance measures
Barclays management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the business’ performance between financial periods, and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays’ management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 65-75 for further information, reconciliations and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
Forward-looking statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. 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 or guidance regarding the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, notable items, business strategy, structural reform, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the strategic cost programme and the Group Strategy Update, rundown of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core, sell down of the Group’s interest in Barclays Africa Group Limited, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers 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, 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, future levels of notable items, 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, US, 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 any entities within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the implications of the results of the 23 June 2016 referendum in the United Kingdom and the disruption that may result in the UK and globally from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union; the implementation of the strategic cost 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, expectations and guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our annual report on form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2016), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Subject to our obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the United States in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Performance Highlights
 
Transatlantic Consumer, Corporate and Investment Bank with Global Reach
Our strategy is on track with good progress in 2016
● Core returns:
● Core business performed well reflecting the benefits of diversification across customers and clients, geographies and products, with a 4% growth in profit before tax excluding notable items1 to £6,436m, delivering a 9.4% return on average allocated tangible equity that was £4bn higher at £41bn
● Return on average allocated tangible equity (RoTE) excluding notable items in Barclays UK was 19.3% and in Barclays International was 8.0%
● Non-Core rundown:
● £22bn reduction in risk weighted assets (RWAs) to £32bn, despite adverse foreign exchange (FX) movements
● Completed the sale of a number of businesses during the year, including the Asia wealth and investment management, and Southern European cards businesses in Q416, and signed the agreement for the sale of the French retail business in the quarter
● Good progress on the accelerated rundown of Non-Core; decision taken to close the unit six months ahead of plan on 30 June 2017 with RWAs expected to be approximately £25bn at this date
● Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio:
● Profit before tax of £3,230m drove strong organic capital ratio growth with 100bps of CET1 ratio accretion to 12.4%
● In Q416, the CET1 ratio increased 80bps through reduced RWAs, and an increase in reserves, including from the £1.1bn improvement in the deficit of the UK Retirement Fund (UKRF) defined benefit pension scheme
● On track to meeting revised end-state CET1 capital ratio of 150bps to 200bps above the minimum regulatory level
● Core costs:
● Decision taken in Q416, relating to 2016 compensation awards, to more closely align income statement recognition with performance awards and harmonise deferral structures across the Group
● The total incentive awards granted reduced 1% to £1,533m, with the changes to awards resulting in a £395m income statement charge in Q416, of which £390m was in Core. As a result, Core costs for 2016 exceeded the guidance of £13.0bn2 by that amount
● Core cost: income ratio excluding notable items improved from 62% to 61%
● Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) sell down:
● First sale of 12.2% stake completed in May 2016, resulting in a c.10bps benefit to the CET1 ratio
● Separation terms now agreed with BAGL, subject to regulatory approval. These terms include contributions totalling £765m payable over the period through to completion of the next sale of Barclays’ stake in BAGL to below 50%
● Remain on track to achieve regulatory deconsolidation, with further sell down subject to regulatory approval. Estimate in excess of 75bps Group CET1 ratio accretion on regulatory deconsolidation based on the 31 December 2016 BAGL share price and ZAR exchange rate
● Holding Company (HoldCo) transition:
● Progressed the transition to HoldCo funding with £12.1bn of issuance and £7.4bn of Operating Company (OpCo) capital and debt repurchased or redeemed
● Moody's upgraded the HoldCo’s long-term senior rating one notch to Baa2 on 12 December 2016

Group Chief Executive Officer’s Review
“A year ago we laid out our intention to accelerate the restructuring of Barclays and refocus our business as a transatlantic, consumer, corporate and investment bank, anchored in London and New York.
 
We have made strong progress against this agenda in 2016.
 
Our Core businesses, Barclays UK and Barclays International, are doing well, with profit before tax excluding notable items up 4% to £6.4bn.
 
Barclays UK produced an impressive RoTE of 19.3% excluding notable items, and continues to deliver market-leading innovation for customers, including voice security, contactless cash, a new direct investing platform, and in airing the first fraud prevention TV ad campaign from a major UK bank.
 
Barclays International delivered a RoTE of 8.0% excluding notable items. We brought further focus to the Corporate and Investment Bank, with income growing 6%, solidifying our position in the bulge bracket. We also saw strong growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments, as income increased 21%, driven by improvements in all key businesses.
 
Combined, the Core RoTE, excluding notable items, was 9.4%.
 
Accelerating the closure of Barclays Non-Core is a key part of realising the potential of Barclays. In 2016 we reduced Non-Core RWAs by £22bn, with £12bn of that reduction coming in the final quarter alone. Today, we are announcing that we will close Non-Core on 30 June 2017, six months earlier than previously targeted.
 
We reduced our ownership of Barclays Africa with an initial sale of 12.2% in May. In the fourth quarter we agreed with local management and submitted to regulators our proposed separation arrangements for Barclays Africa. This is a key milestone before a further reduction in our stake at the appropriate time.
 
The progress on our priorities resulted in organic profit generation which strengthened our CET1 capital ratio by 100 basis points in 2016 to 12.4%. This puts us well on track to meet our end-state target and we are well positioned to absorb headwinds over the next few years. Certain legacy conduct issues remain and we intend to make further progress on them.
 
In short, we have accomplished a lot in a year, and I am thankful to each and every one of our colleagues who have made this possible. Their efforts mean that, in 2017, we can begin to move on from the restructuring of Barclays, shifting our focus solely to the future, and in particular to how we can generate attractive, sustainable, and distributable returns for our shareholders.
 
This means increasing management focus on Barclays UK and Barclays International, the future of this firm. Together, they encompass a diverse set of market leading consumer and wholesale businesses, giving us growth opportunities across a wide waterfront, and resilience in earnings.
 
And we intend to build these businesses on a foundation of world class operations and technology, where core functions for our Group are standardised across the company, streamlining costs, driving high quality analytics, and hugely improving the experience of our customers and clients, which is key to driving loyalty and long term growth.
 
We are now just months away from completing the restructuring of Barclays, and I am more optimistic than ever for our prospects in 2017, and beyond.”
 
James E Staley, Group Chief Executive Officer

Group Finance Director’s Review
 
2016 reflected the good operational performance of Barclays UK and Barclays International with the benefits of diversification across customers and clients, geographies and products coming through. The Core business generated a RoTE excluding notable items of 9.4% (2015: 11.2%) on a £4bn increased average allocated tangible equity base of £41bn. The Core business also generated positive cost: income jaws and we intend to continue to reduce the Group’s structural cost base, targeting a Group cost: income ratio of less than 60% over time. The accelerated Non-Core rundown resulted in a reduction in RWAs of £22bn to £32bn resulting in the decision to close the unit six months ahead of plan on 30 June 2017. Capital ratio progression towards end-state target of 150bps to 200bps above the minimum regulatory level was strong with a CET1 ratio of 12.4% (December 2015: 11.4%), largely reflecting profit generation in the period.
 
Group performance
 
Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity was 3.6% (2015: (0.7%)) and basic earnings per share was 10.4p (2015: (1.9p))
Profit before tax increased to £3,230m (2015: £1,146m). The Group performance reflected good Core results whilst being impacted by the Non-Core loss before tax of £2,786m (2015: £2,603m) and provisions for UK customer redress of £1,000m (2015: £2,772m). The appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP positively impacted income and adversely affected impairment and operating expenses
Total income decreased 3% to £21,451m as Non-Core income reduced £1,776m to a net expense of £1,164m due to the acceleration of the Non-Core rundown, while Core income increased 6% to £22,615m driven by Barclays International
Credit impairment charges increased £611m to £2,373m including a £320m charge in Q316 following the management review of the UK and US cards portfolio impairment modelling. This resulted in a 11bps increase in the loan loss rate to 53bps
Total operating expenses reduced 12% to £16,338m reflecting lower litigation and conduct charges. This was partially offset by the non-recurrence of the prior year gain of £429m on the valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability, increased structural reform implementation costs, and a £150m charge in Barclays International in Q316, relating to a reduction in the real estate footprint which will generate savings in future periods. Operating expenses also included a £395m additional charge in Q416 relating to 2016 compensation awards
The effective tax rate on profit before tax decreased to 30.7% (2015: 100.3%) principally as a result of a reduction in non-deductible charges
Profit after tax in respect of continuing operations increased to £2,237m (2015: loss of £3m). Profit after tax in relation to the Africa Banking discontinued operation decreased 6% to £591m as increased credit impairment charges and operating expenses were partially offset by income growth
Notable items totalled a net loss before tax of £420m (2015: £3,330m) comprising provisions for UK customer redress of £1,000m (2015: £2,772m), a £615m (2015: £nil) gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited and an own credit loss of £35m (2015: gain of £430m)
 
All performance commentary which follows excludes the impact of notable items. Refer to pages 68-71 for a reconciliation of results excluding notable items.
 
 
Core performance
 
The Core business generated a RoTE of 9.4% (2015: 11.2%) on an average allocated tangible equity base that was £4bn higher at £41bn, due to Core earnings generation and capital returned from the Non-Core
Profit before tax increased 4% to £6,436m reflecting good performance in both Barclays UK and Barclays International, with an improvement in the cost: income ratio to 61% (2015: 62%). This included the benefit of the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP
Total income increased 7% to £22,035m with Barclays International income increasing 10% to £14,531m, with growth in both Corporate and Investment Bank, and Consumer, Cards and Payments, while Barclays UK income was broadly in line at £7,366m (2015: £7,343m)
Credit impairment charges increased 38% to £2,251m resulting in a 13bps increase in the loan loss rate to 58bps, including a £320m charge in Q316 following the management review of the UK and US cards portfolio impairment modelling, and a number of single name exposures
Total operating expenses increased 6% to £13,507m, including a £390m charge in Q416 relating to the 2016 compensation awards, increased structural reform implementation costs, and a £150m charge in Barclays International in Q316 relating to a reduction in the real estate footprint
 
 
Barclays UK
 
 
RoTE was 19.3% (2015: 21.1%) as profit before tax decreased 5% to £2,587m driven by an increase in credit impairment charges, partially offset by a reduction in total operating expenses
 
 
Total income was broadly in line at £7,366m (2015: £7,343m), within which:
 
 
Personal Banking income increased 1% to £3,762m, Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 2% to £2,022m and Wealth, Entrepreneurs & Business Banking (WEBB) income increased 1% to £1,582m
 
 
 
Net interest income increased 1% to £6,048m, with the net interest margin increasing 6bps to 3.62% reflecting higher margins on deposits, partially offset by lower mortgage margins
 
Credit impairment charges increased £190m to £896m due to a £200m charge in Q316 following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling. Delinquency trends improved with the 30 and 90 day arrears rates on the cards portfolio reducing to 1.9% (2015: 2.3%) and 0.9% (2015: 1.2%) respectively
 
Total operating expenses reduced 1% to £3,882m reflecting savings realised from strategic cost programmes, relating to restructuring of the branch network and technology improvements, partially offset by structural reform programme implementation costs. The cost: income ratio was stable at 53% (2015: 53%)
 
Barclays International
 
 
RoTE was 8.0% (2015: 9.5%) as profit before tax decreased 3% to £3,747m including the impact of the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP. This was driven by increased credit impairment charges and operating expenses, partially offset by strong income growth in Consumer, Cards and Payments and Corporate and Investment Bank
 
Total income increased 10% to £14,531m, including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, within which:
 
 
Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 21% to £3,998m, driven by continued growth across all key businesses
 
 
Corporate and Investment Bank income increased 6% to £10,533m as Markets income increased 9% to £5,279m, within which Credit increased 44% to £1,185m and Macro increased 9% to £2,304m, partially offset by a 6% reduction in Equities to £1,790m. Banking income increased 3% to £5,249m driven by strong growth in Banking fees, which increased 15% to £2,397m, partially offset by a 12% reduction in Corporate lending to £1,195m. Transactional banking was broadly in line at £1,657m (2015: £1,663m)
 
Credit impairment charges increased 47% to £1,355m, within which Consumer, Cards and Payments impairment increased 51% to £1,095m driven by growth in receivables, a change in portfolio mix and a £120m charge in Q316 following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling. Delinquency trends in Barclaycard US worsened with the 30 and 90 day arrears rates increasing to 2.6% (2015: 2.2%) and 1.3% (2015: 1.1%) respectively. Corporate and Investment Bank impairment increased 31% to £260m primarily from impairment of a number of single name exposures
 
Total operating expenses increased 11% to £9,461m including an additional charge in Q416 relating to the 2016 compensation awards, higher structural reform programme implementation costs, a £150m charge in Q316 to reduce the real estate footprint and increased costs in Consumer, Cards and Payments driven by continued growth. These increases were partially offset by lower litigation and conduct costs
 
Head Office
 
 
Profit before tax was £102m (2015: loss of £380m) reflecting increased net income from treasury operations, structural reform programme implementation costs included in operating expenses in 2015, now included in the businesses, and increased other net income primarily due to recycling of the currency translation reserve to the income statement on completion of the sale of the Southern European cards business
 
Non-Core performance
 
 
Strong performance in the accelerated rundown of Non-Core resulted in RWAs decreasing £22.2bn to £32.1bn, despite the impact of the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP, driven by a £10bn reduction in Derivatives, a £3bn reduction in Securities and loans, a £4bn reduction in Businesses RWAs and a £4bn reallocation to Head Office of operational risk RWAs associated with exited businesses and assets
 
 
Loss before tax increased to £2,786m (2015: £1,715m) driven by reduced income and increased losses resulting from continued progress on the rundown of Businesses, Securities and loans, and Derivatives, partially offset by lower operating expenses and an increase in other net income from business disposals
 
Total income reduced £1,776m to a net expense of £1,164m including fair value losses on the Education, Social Housing, and Local Authority (ESHLA) portfolio of £393m (2015: £359m). Excluding these fair value losses, negative income was £771m
 
 
Businesses income reduced £654m to £485m due to the completion of the sale of a number of income generating businesses
 
 
Securities and loans income decreased £288m to a net expense of £638m primarily driven by the impact of restructuring the ESHLA Lender Option Borrower Option (LOBO) loan terms in Q216
 
 
Derivatives income reduced £834m to a net expense of £1,011m primarily reflecting the costs of running down the portfolio
 
Credit impairment charges improved 9% to £122m driven by lower impairment charges in European businesses
 
Total operating expenses improved 14% to £1,831m reflecting cost savings from ceasing certain investment banking activities in a number of countries and the completion of the sale of a number of businesses, partially offset by a c.£200m increase in restructuring charges, which totalled c.£400m
 
Other net income of £331m (2015: net expense of £70m) included gains on the sale of Barclays Risk Analytics and Index Solutions, the Asia wealth and investment management business and the Southern European cards business, partially offset by the loss on sale of the French retail business of £455m
 
The intention is to close Non-Core on 30 June 2017 with approximately £25bn of RWAs
 
Group capital and leverage
 
 
The fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio increased to 12.4% (December 2015: 11.4%) reflecting an increase in CET1 capital of £4.5bn to £45.2bn, despite RWAs increasing by £7bn to £366bn
 
 
The increase in CET1 capital was largely driven by profits of £2.1bn generated in the period, after absorbing the impact of notable items. Other favourable movements included the currency translation reserve as a result of the appreciation of all major currencies against GBP
 
 
The increase in RWAs was principally due to the appreciation of ZAR, USD and EUR against GBP and business growth, which together more than offset RWA reductions in Non-Core
 
The leverage ratio increased to 4.6% (December 2015: 4.5%) driven by a £5.8bn increase in fully loaded Tier 1 capital to £52.0bn partially offset by an increase in leverage exposure of £97bn to £1,125bn. Total IFRS assets increased 8% to £1,213bn from December 2015 contributing to the 9% increase in leverage exposure
 
 
The IFRS asset increase was mainly driven by loans and advances and other assets which increased £82bn to £707bn. The increase was primarily due to the appreciation of major currencies against GBP, an increase in liquidity pool assets, and lending growth in Barclays UK and Barclays International. This was partially offset by the rundown and exit of Non-Core assets
 
 
Net derivative leverage exposure remained broadly flat as an increase in IFRS derivative assets of £19bn to £347bn was offset by an increase in IFRS derivative liabilities resulting in regulatory derivative netting increasing £20bn to £313bn. The increase was mainly within foreign exchange derivatives driven by an increase in trade volumes and appreciation of all major currencies against GBP
 
Tangible net asset value per share increased to 290p (December 2015: 275p) driven by profit generated in the period and net favourable reserve movements
 
Group funding and liquidity
 
 
The Group continued to maintain surpluses to its internal and regulatory requirements. The liquidity pool increased to £165bn (December 2015: £145bn), primarily driven by the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP and a net increase in deposits and wholesale funding to support business growth. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 131% (December 2015: 133%), equivalent to a surplus of £39bn (December 2015: £37bn)
 
Wholesale funding outstanding excluding repurchase agreements was £158bn (December 2015: £142bn). The increase was driven by the prudent management of the liquidity position, HoldCo issuance and the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP. The Group issued £12.1bn equivalent of capital and term senior unsecured debt from the HoldCo of which £8.6bn equivalent and £0.7bn equivalent in public and private senior unsecured debt respectively, and £2.8bn of capital instruments. In the same period £7.4bn of Barclays Bank PLC (OpCo) capital and senior unsecured debt was repurchased or redeemed
 
On 12 December 2016, Moody’s upgraded both the HoldCo’s and OpCo’s long term senior unsecured ratings one notch to Baa2 and A1 respectively. The negative outlooks remained
 
Other matters
 
 
The acquisition of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited by Visa Inc. completed on 21 June 2016 resulting in the recognition of a pre-tax gain on disposal of £615m in income in Q216
 
Additional UK customer redress provisions of £1,000m (2015: £2,772m) relating to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) were recognised. £400m was recognised in Q216 reflecting an updated estimate of costs, primarily relating to ongoing remediation programmes, with £600m recognised in Q316 to reflect the current estimate of the impact of the revised complaints deadline proposed in Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation paper 16/20 issued on 2 August 2016. The remaining PPI provision as at December 2016 was £1,979m (December 2015: £2,106m)
 
In Q216, Barclays redeemed its $1.15bn 7.75% Series 4 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares. In Q316, Barclays redeemed its $750m 6.625% Series 2 Non-Cumulative Callable Dollar Preference Shares. These redemptions resulted in a 10bps detriment to the CET1 ratio, but will result in an ongoing reduction in preference share dividends payable of $139m per annum
 
On 5 May 2016, Barclays executed the first tranche of the sell down of the Group’s interest in BAGL with the sale of 12.2% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Following completion of this first tranche, Barclays’ holding represents 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Barclays continues to explore opportunities to reduce its shareholding to a level that would permit regulatory deconsolidation. Barclays also continues to work closely with BAGL management on arrangements for operational separation of the two businesses
 
The terms of the transitional services arrangements and related separation payments have been agreed with BAGL and submitted to relevant regulators as part of a request for approval for Barclays to sell down to below a 50% holding. These proposed separation terms include contributions totalling £765m, of which £27.5m was paid in 2016, with the remainder to be paid over the period through to completion of any initial sale of Barclays’ stake in BAGL to below 50%. The majority of these funds would be used by BAGL to separate from the Barclays group, including termination of the existing Master Services Agreement, making investments in branding, operations and technology, and covering separation related expenses. In addition, Barclays will contribute an amount equivalent to 1.5% of BAGL’s market capitalisation to a new Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment scheme, equating to approximately £130m at the 31 December 2016 share price and ZAR exchange rate, and expects to incur some additional operating expenses in respect of delivering the separation of the businesses under the transitional services arrangements
 
It is estimated that the selldown of the Group’s interest in BAGL to a level that achieves regulatory deconsolidation will result in greater than 75bps accretion to the Group’s CET1 ratio, based on the BAGL share price of ZAR168.69 and ZAR exchange rate of 16.78 at 31 December 2016, after taking account of the separation costs referred to above
 
Certain legal proceedings and investigations relating to legacy issues remain outstanding, including a civil complaint filed by the DOJ against Barclays in December 2016 relating to mortgage-backed securities sold between 2005 and 2007 which Barclays is defending. Resolving outstanding legacy issues in an appropriate timeframe will continue to be a priority. Please see note 29 to the financial statements in the Annual Report for details of relevant matters
 
Dividends
 
 
A final dividend for 2016 of 2.0p per share will be paid on 5 April 2017, resulting in a total 3.0p dividend per share for the year
 
 
Outlook and Guidance
 
 
Barclays today announces the intention to close Non-Core early at 30 June 2017, at which point RWAs are expected to be approximately £25bn. The composition of the assets at that date are expected to consist primarily of residual derivatives, Italian mortgages and the ESHLA portfolio. Further information on the allocation of the residual Non-Core between Barclays UK and Barclays International will be provided on closure
 
 
Loss before tax in 2017 generated by Non-Core operations is expected to be approximately £1bn, excluding fair value gains or losses on the ESHLA portfolio. A greater proportion of this loss is expected to occur in H117 reflecting continued exit costs
 
 
The end-state CET1 capital ratio target has been revised to 150-200bps above the minimum regulatory level, providing 400-450bps buffer to the Bank of England stress test systemic reference point

2016 compared to 2015
 
 
Profit before tax increased £1,153m to £1,738m reflecting lower provisions for UK customer redress. Profit before tax excluding notable items1 decreased 5% to £2,587m driven by an increase in credit impairment charges following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling, partially offset by a reduction in total operating expenses
 
Total income, including a gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited recognised in Personal Banking and Wealth, Entrepreneurs & Business Banking (WEBB) increased 2% to £7,517m. Total income excluding notable items was broadly in line at £7,366m (2015: £7,343m), within which:
 
 
Personal Banking income increased 1% to £3,762m driven by improved deposit margins and balance growth, partially offset by lower mortgage margins
 
 
Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 2% to £2,022m primarily as a result of the European Interchange Fee Regulation, which came into full effect from December 2015, offset by balance growth and gains from debt sales
 
 
WEBB income increased 1% to £1,582m reflecting improved margins and deposit growth, partially offset by reduced transactional fee income
 
 
Net interest income increased 1% to £6,048m due to balance growth and deposit pricing initiatives, partially offset by lower mortgage margins
 
 
Net interest margin increased 6bps to 3.62% reflecting higher margins on deposits, partially offset by lower mortgage margins
 
 
Net fee, commission and other income decreased 4% to £1,318m due to the impact of the European Interchange Fee Regulation in Barclaycard Consumer UK, which came into full effect from December 2015, and reduced fee and commission income in WEBB
 
Credit impairment charges increased 27% to £896m due to a £200m charge in Q316 following the management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling. The 30 day and 90 day arrears rates on the cards portfolio improved year-on-year to 1.9% (2015: 2.3%) and 0.9% (2015: 1.2%) respectively
 
Total operating expenses, including provisions for UK customer redress of £1,000m (2015: £2,431m), reduced 19% to £4,882m. Total operating expenses excluding notable items reduced 1% to £3,882m reflecting savings realised from strategic cost programmes, relating to restructuring of the branch network and technology improvements, offset by structural reform programme implementation costs
 
The cost: income ratio excluding notable items was 53% (2015: 53%) and RoTE excluding notable items was 19.3% (2015: 21.1%)
 
Loans and advances to customers were stable at £166.4bn (December 2015: £166.1bn)
 
Total assets increased £7.1bn to £209.6bn primarily reflecting an increase in the allocated liquidity pool
 
Customer deposits increased 7% to £189.0bn primarily driven by higher balances in Personal Banking and WEBB
 
RWAs reduced £2.0bn to £67.5bn primarily driven by changes in the mortgages credit risk model

 2016 compared to 2015
 
 
Profit before tax increased 28% to £4,211m, including the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited. Profit before tax excluding notable items1 decreased 3% to £3,747m driven by an 11% increase in total operating expenses, and a 47% increase in impairment, partially offset by a 10% increase in total income
 
Total income excluding notable items increased 10% to £14,531m, including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, with Consumer, Cards and Payments income increasing 21% to £3,998m and Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) income increasing 6% to £10,533m

 
Markets income increased 9% to £5,279m, within which:
 
 
Credit income increased 44% to £1,185m driven by strong performance in fixed income flow credit which benefitted from increased market volatility and client demand
 
 
 
Equities income decreased 6% to £1,790m with lower client activity in Asia and the simplification of the EMEA business, partially offset by improved performance in cash, derivatives and financing in H216
 
 
 
Macro income increased 9% to £2,304m driven by increased activity post the EU referendum decision and US elections
 
 
Banking income increased 3% to £5,249m within which:
 
 
 
Banking fees income increased 15% to £2,397m driven by higher debt underwriting and advisory fees, partially offset by lower equity underwriting fees
 
 
 
Corporate lending reduced 12% to £1,195m due to losses on fair value hedges and the non-recurrence of one-off work-out gains recognised in Q215
 
 
 
Transactional banking was broadly flat at £1,657m (2015: £1,663m) as income from higher deposit balances was offset by margin compression
 
 
Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 21% to £3,998m driven by growth across all key businesses and the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP
 
 
Credit impairment charges increased 47% to £1,355m including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, within which:
 
CIB credit impairment charges increased 31% to £260m driven by the impairment of a number of single name exposures
 
 
Consumer, Cards and Payments credit impairment charges increased 51% to £1,095m primarily driven by balance growth, a change in portfolio mix and a £120m charge in Q316 following a management review of the cards portfolio impairment modelling
 
 
Total operating expenses excluding notable items increased 11%, within which:
 
CIB increased 12% to £7,624m. In addition to the appreciation of average USD against GBP this reflected an additional charge in Q416 relating to the 2016 compensation awards, higher restructuring costs, £150m of which related to reducing the real estate footprint in Q316, and higher structural reform programme implementation costs including those relating to the incorporation of the US Intermediate Holding Company (IHC) on 1 July 2016. These increases were partially offset by lower litigation and conduct costs
 
 
Consumer, Cards and Payments increased 7% to £1,837m due to continued business growth and the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, partially offset by lower restructuring costs
 
 
The cost: income ratio excluding notable items was 65% (2015: 64%) and RoTE excluding notable items was 8.0% (2015: 9.5%)
 
Loans and advances to banks and customers at amortised cost increased £27.2bn to £211.3bn with CIB increasing £19.7bn to £171.7bn due to increased lending and cash collateral and the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP. Consumer, Cards and Payments increased £7.6bn to £39.7bn driven by appreciation of USD and EUR against
GBP and growth in Barclaycard US, including the acquisition of the JetBlue credit card portfolio
 
Trading portfolio assets increased £11.3bn to £73.2bn due to an increase in client activity and appreciation of major currencies against GBP
 
Derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities increased £44.7bn to £156.2bn and £41.6bn to £160.6bn respectively, due to the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP and decreases in forward interest rates
 
Financial assets designated at fair value increased £15.5bn to £62.3bn and reverse repurchase agreements and other similar lending decreased £11.3bn to £13.4bn. Since 2015, new reverse repurchase agreements in certain businesses have been designated at fair value to better align to the way the business manages the portfolio’s risk and
performance. On a net basis reverse repos have increased by £4.2bn as a result of increased matched book trading
 
Customer deposits increased £30.6bn to £216.2bn, with CIB increasing £22.6bn to £166.3bn primarily driven by increases in deposits cash collateral and the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP. Consumer, Cards and Payments increased £8.2bn to £50.0bn driven by balance growth in Barclaycard US and Private Banking, and the
appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP
 
RWAs increased £17.9bn to £212.7bn, due to the appreciation of USD against GBP, and business growth, including the acquisition of the JetBlue credit card portfolio in Consumer, Cards and Payments

Other net income excluding notable items increased to £128m (2015: £6m) primarily due to recycling of the currency translation reserve on the disposal of the Southern European cards business
 
Total assets increased £15.8bn to £75.2bn primarily driven by the appreciation of ZAR against GBP
 
RWAs increased £13.6bn to £53.3bn primarily driven by the appreciation of ZAR against GBP and the reallocation of operational risk RWAs from Non-Core associated with exited businesses and assets

As at 31 December 2016 loans and advances included £38.5bn (December 2015: £40.4bn) of loans and advances to customers (including settlement balances of £0.1bn (December 2015: £0.3bn) and cash collateral of £17.3bn (December 2015: £19.0bn)), and £12.6bn (December 2015: £11.4bn) of loans and advances to banks (including settlement balances of £0.1bn (December 2015: £nil) and cash collateral of £12.1bn (December 2015: £10.1bn)).
3
As at 31 December 2016 customer deposits included settlement balances of £0.1bn (December 2015: £0.2bn) and cash collateral of £11.9bn (December 2015: £12.3bn).
 
 
2016 compared to 2015
 
 
Loss before tax increased to £2,786m (2015: £2,603m). Loss before tax excluding notable items1 increased to £2,786m (2015: £1,715m) driven by reduced income and increased losses resulting from continued progress on the rundown of Derivatives, Businesses and Securities and loans, partially offset by lower operating expenses and
higher other net income primarily from business and country exits
 
Total income reduced £1,776m to a net expense of £1,164m
 
Businesses income reduced £654m to £485m due to the impact of lower income following the completion of the sale of a number of income generating businesses and fees paid to Head Office relating to the termination of internal hedging and funding positions no longer required
 
Securities and loans income decreased £288m to a net expense of £638m primarily driven by the impact of restructuring the ESHLA portfolio, the non-recurrence of a £91m provision release relating to a litigation matter in Q115 and portfolio rundown. Fair value losses on the ESHLA portfolio were £393m (2015: £359m)
 
Derivatives income reduced £834m to a net expense of £1,011m principally reflecting the costs of running down the portfolio
 
Credit impairment charges improved 9% to £122m due to lower impairment charges in European businesses
 
 
Total operating expenses excluding notable items improved 14% to £1,831m reflecting cost savings from ceasing certain investment banking activities in a number of countries and the completion of the sale of a number of businesses, partially offset by a c.£200m increase in restructuring charges, which totalled c.£400m
 
 
Other net income excluding notable items of £331m (2015: net expense of £70m) included gains on the sale of Barclays Risk Analytics and Index Solutions, the Asia wealth and investment management business and the Southern European cards business, partially offset by the loss on sale of the French retail business of £455m
 
 
Loans and advances to banks and customers at amortised cost decreased £0.7bn to £51.1bn due to the sale of the Asia wealth and investment management business, and the rundown and exit of historical investment bank assets, partially offset by the recognition of £8bn of ESHLA loans at amortised cost, following the restructure of LOBO loan terms
 
 
Total assets decreased £46.1bn to £279.7bn due to lower derivative financial instrument assets which decreased £25.0bn to £188.7bn whilst derivative financial instrument liabilities decreased £23.5bn to £178.6bn mainly on continued rundown of the derivative back book
 
 
Leverage exposure decreased £47bn to £101bn due to reduced potential future exposure on derivatives and trading portfolio assets
 
 
RWAs reduced £22.2bn to £32.1bn despite the appreciation of USD and EUR against GBP, including a £10bn reduction in Derivatives, a £3bn reduction in Securities and loans, a £4bn reduction in Businesses RWAs, and a £4bn reallocation of operational risk RWAs to Head Office associated with business disposals and exits

Discontinued Operation
 
On 1 March 2016, Barclays announced its intention to sell down the Group’s interest in BAGL. This sell down is intended to be to a level which will permit deconsolidation from an accounting and regulatory perspective, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals as required. On 5 May 2016 Barclays executed the first tranche of the sell down of the Group’s interest in BAGL with the sale of 12.2% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Following completion of the sale, Barclays’ holding represents 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital.
The terms of the transitional services arrangements and related separation payments have been agreed with BAGL and submitted to relevant regulators as part of a request for approval for Barclays to sell down to below a 50% holding. These proposed separation terms include contributions totalling £765m, of which £27.5m was paid in 2016, with the remainder to be paid over the period through to completion of any initial sale of Barclays’ stake in BAGL to below 50%. The majority of these funds would be used by BAGL to separate from the Barclays group, including termination of the existing Master Services Agreement, making investments in branding, operations and technology, and covering separation related expenses. In addition, Barclays will contribute an amount equivalent to 1.5% of BAGL’s market capitalisation to a new Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment scheme, equating to approximately £130m at the 31 December 2016 share price and ZAR exchange rate, and expects to incur some additional operating expenses in respect of delivering the separation of the businesses under the transitional services arrangements.
These proposed contributions have been taken into account in assessing whether any impairment of the BAGL disposal group was required in the Group’s balance sheet. No impairment of the BAGL disposal group was required at 31 December 2016, as the market value of BAGL less estimated costs to sell at the prevailing share price and ZAR exchange rate was £8.4bn, which was greater than the carrying asset value of BAGL at that date of £7.3bn, plus the proposed costs of separation referred to above.
The Africa Banking business meets the requirements for presentation as a discontinued operation. As such, these results have been presented as two lines on the face of the Group income statement, representing the profit after tax and non-controlling interest in respect of the discontinued operation. Were the fair value of BAGL, based on its quoted share price, less estimated costs to sell, to fall below the carrying amount of the net assets of BAGL including goodwill on acquisition, a resulting impairment to Barclays’ stake in BAGL would also be recognised through these lines.

Total Barclays UK and Barclays International net interest income increased 6% to £10.3bn due to:
 
 
An increase in average customer assets to £274.6bn (2015: £268.8bn) with growth in Barclays International, while Barclays UK remained stable
 
 
 
Net interest margin increased 11bps to 3.76% primarily due to growth in interest earning lending within the cards portfolio of Barclays International and higher margins on deposits in Barclays UK
 
 
Group net interest income decreased to £10.5bn (2015: £10.6bn) including net structural hedge contributions of £1.5bn (2015: £1.4bn)
 
Net interest margin by business reflects movements in the Group’s internal funding rates which are based on the cost to the Group of alternative funding in wholesale markets. The 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 alternative funding at a rate that is driven by prevailing market rates and includes a term premium

Remuneration
 
Deferred awards are payable only once an employee meets certain conditions, including a specified period of service. This creates a timing difference between the communication of the bonus pool and the charges that are recognised in the income statement which are reconciled in the table below to show the charge for performance costs. For 2016 awards, there have been changes in the proportion of bonuses which are deferred, to harmonise deferral structures across the Group, and to more closely align the incentive awards granted with the income statement charge, as illustrated below. The combined effect of these changes is to accelerate the rate at which the awards are recognised in the income statement, resulting in an increase in the charge for 2016 of £395m. There is expected to be a lesser effect in 2017 and 2018 as these changes take full effect. See page 104 of the Remuneration Report and Note 8 in the Annual Report for additional information on the changes. The table also shows the other elements of compensation and staff costs.

Liquidity
 
Overview
The Group has a comprehensive Key Risk Control Framework for managing the Group’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Framework meets the PRA’s standards and is designed to ensure the Group maintains liquidity resources that are sufficient in amount and quality, and a funding profile that is appropriate to meet the liquidity risk appetite. The Liquidity Framework is delivered via a combination of policy formation, review and governance, analysis, stress testing, limit setting and monitoring.
While Barclays has a comprehensive framework for managing the Group’s liquidity risks, 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
Barclays manages the Group’s liquidity position against the Group’s internally defined Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA) and regulatory metrics such as CRD IV Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). As at December 2016, the Group held eligible liquid assets well in excess of 100% of net stress outflows for both the 30 day Barclays-specific LRA and the LCR.

Barclays plans to maintain its surplus at an adequate level to the internal and regulatory stress requirements, whilst considering risks to market funding conditions and its liquidity position. The continuous reassessment of these risks may lead to actions being taken with respect to sizing of the liquidity pool.
 
1
Of the three stress scenarios monitored as part of the LRA, the 30 day Barclays specific scenario results in the lowest ratio at 120% (2015 131%). This compares to 134% (2015: 144%) under the 90 day market-wide scenario and 144% (2015: 133%) under the 30 day combined scenario.

The Group liquidity pool was £165bn at 31 December 2016 (2015: £145bn). During 2016, the month-end liquidity pool ranged from £132bn to £175bn (2015: £142bn to £168bn), and the month-end average balance was £153bn (2015: £155bn). The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and is not used to support payment or clearing requirements.
Barclays manages the liquidity pool on a centralised basis. As at 31 December 2016, 91% (2015: 94%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC 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.

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 and collateral swaps. Included within deposits from banks are £4.5bn of liabilities drawn in the
European Central Bank’s facilities.

Primarily comprised of fair value deposits £3bn and secured financing transactions of physical gold £0.5bn.
 
 
Term financing
In preparation for a Single Point of Entry resolution model, Barclays has made good progress on the issuance of debt capital and term senior unsecured funding from Barclays PLC, the holding company, replacing maturing debt in Barclays Bank PLC.
 
The Group issued £12.1bn equivalent of capital and senior unsecured debt from the holding company of which £8.6bn equivalent and £0.7bn equivalent in public and private senior unsecured debt respectively, and £2.8bn of capital instruments. In the same period £7.4bn of Barclays Bank PLC capital and senior unsecured debt was bought back or called.
The Group has £21.2bn1 of term funding maturing in 2017 and £13.2bn in 2018.
The Group expects to continue to issue public wholesale debt in 2017, in order to maintain a stable and diverse funding base by type, currency and distribution channel.

Includes £0.2bn bilateral secured funding.
 
 
Credit ratings
 
In addition to monitoring and managing key metrics related to the financial strength of the Group, Barclays also solicits independent credit ratings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s, Fitch and Rating and Investment Information (R&I). These ratings assess the creditworthiness of the Group, its subsidiaries and branches and are based on reviews of a broad range of business and financial attributes including risk management processes and procedures, capital strength, earnings, funding, asset quality, liquidity, accounting and governance.

During the year, Barclays’ ratings outlooks for Moody’s and S&P were changed to Negative from Stable following the outcome of the EU referendum in June 2016. The rating actions were part of a wider set of actions which saw the two agencies place several UK banks on negative outlooks whilst affirming the ratings. The ratings continue to carry a stable outlook with Fitch.
 
In December 2016 Moody’s upgraded senior long term ratings for both Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays PLC by one notch reflecting the continued build-up of loss absorbing capacity at Barclays PLC which would provide additional protection for Barclays Bank PLC’s depositors and senior unsecured creditors, and Barclays PLC’s senior unsecured creditors in a failure scenario. The negative outlooks assigned in June remained in place as the rating agency’s assessment of Barclays’ standalone credit strength was unaffected by the rating action.
 
S&P and Fitch affirmed Barclays’ ratings in July and December 2016 respectively as part of their periodic reviews.
 
Barclays also solicits issuer ratings from R&I for local issuances purposes in Japan and the ratings of A- for Barclays PLC and A for Barclays Bank PLC were affirmed in July 2016 with stable outlooks.
 
 
Capital
 
CRD IV capital
 
Barclays’ current regulatory requirement is to meet a fully loaded CRD IV CET1 ratio comprising the required 4.5% minimum CET1 ratio and, phased in from 2016, a Combined Buffer Requirement.  This currently comprises a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% and a Globally Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer determined by the PRA in line with guidance from the Financial Stability Board (FSB). Both buffers are subject to phased implementation, the CCB is phased in at 25% per annum with 0.625% applicable for 2016.  The G-SII buffer for 2016 and 2017 has been set at 2% and is also phased in at 25% per annum with 0.5% applicable for 2016 and 1% for 2017.  On 21 November 2016 the FSB confirmed that the G-SII buffer for 2018 will be 1.5% with 1.1% applicable for 2018 and taking full effect from 2019 onwards.
 
Also forming part of the Combined Buffer Requirement is a Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB) and a Systemic Risk Buffer (SRB).   On 30 November 2016 the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) reaffirmed that it expects to maintain a CCyB of 0% on UK exposures until at least June 2017. Other national authorities also determine the appropriate CCyBs that should be applied to exposures in their jurisdiction. During 2016, CCyBs started to apply for Barclays’ exposures to other jurisdictions; however based on current exposures these are not material.  No SRB has been set to date.
 
In addition, Barclays’ Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Guidance (ICG) for 2016 based on a point in time assessment was 3.9% of which 56% needs to be met in CET1 form, equating to approximately 2.2% of RWAs.  The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review and for 2017 Barclays’ Pillar 2A add-on will be 4.0%, with approximately 2.3% of RWAs needing to be met in CET1 form.  All capital, RWA and leverage calculations reflect Barclays’ interpretation of the current rules.
 
As at 31 December 2016, Barclays’ CET1 ratio was 12.4% which exceeds the 2016 transitional minimum requirement of 7.8% including the minimum 4.5% CET1 ratio requirement, 2.2% of Pillar 2A, a 0.625% CCB buffer, a 0.5% G-SII buffer and a 0% CCyB.

The transitional regulatory adjustments to CET1 capital are no longer applicable resulting in CET1 capital on a fully loaded basis being equal to that on a transitional basis.
 
2
The CRD IV CET1 ratio (FSA October 2012 transitional statement) as applicable to Barclays’ Tier 2 Contingent Capital Notes was 13.7% based on £50bn of transitional CRD IV CET1 capital and £366bn of RWAs.
 
3
The PRA transitional capital is based on the PRA Rulebook and accompanying supervisory statements.
 
4
As at 31 December 2016, Barclays’ fully loaded Tier 1 capital was £51,993m, and the fully loaded Tier 1 ratio was 14.2%. Fully loaded total regulatory capital was £67,772m and the fully loaded total capital ratio was 18.5%. The fully loaded Tier 1 capital and total capital measures are calculated without applying the transitional
provisions set out in CRD IV and assessing compliance of AT1 and T2 instruments against the relevant criteria in CRD IV.
 
5
Of the £11.8bn transitional AT1 capital, fully loaded AT1 capital used for the leverage ratio comprises the £6.4bn capital instruments and related share premium accounts, £0.5bn qualifying minority interests and £0.1bn capital deductions. It excludes legacy Tier 1 capital instruments issued by subsidiaries that are subject to
grandfathering.

Closing CET1 capital

The CET1 ratio improved to 12.4% (December 2015: 11.4%) primarily driven by an increase in CET1 capital of £4.5bn to £45.2bn primarily as a result of profits of £2.1bn generated in the year, after absorbing the impact of notable items. Regulatory capital generated from earnings after absorbing the impact of own credit and dividends paid and foreseen increased CET1 capital by £1.2bn. Other significant movements in the year were:
 
 
A £3.0bn increase in other qualifying reserves including a £3.7bn increase in the currency translation reserves as USD, EUR and ZAR strengthened against GBP; partially offset by a £0.4bn decrease as a result of preference share redemptions and a £0.4bn decrease in AFS reserves
 
 
 
A £0.3bn decrease, net of tax, as a result of movements relating to pensions.  There was a £1.0bn decrease in the retirement benefit reserve largely within the UKRF, which is the Groups main pension scheme, moving from a £0.8bn surplus in December 2015 to a £27m deficit in December 2016.  The decrease in reserves was partially offset by the removal of a £0.7bn capital deduction for the UKRF asset in December 2015
 
 
 
A £0.9bn increase in minority interests following the sale of 12.2% of BAGL’s issued share capital was partially offset by £0.3bn higher capital deductions
 
 
Transitional AT1 capital remained largely flat in the period as redemptions and repurchases of £1.3bn of CRD IV end point non-qualifying preference shares, Tier One Notes and Reserve Capital Instruments were offset by the issuance of $1.5bn of qualifying AT1 capital instruments

Foreign exchange movement does not include FX for modelled counterparty risk or modelled market risk.
 
 
RWAs increased £7.2bn to £365.6bn, due to:
 
 
Book size increased RWAs by £1.4bn primarily due to an increase in trading activity in Barclays International and business growth in corporate and consumer lending partially offset by securitisation transactions
 
Acquisitions and disposals decreased RWAs by £6.6bn primarily due to the rundown of Non-Core portfolios, including the sale of Portuguese and Italian businesses
 
Model updates decreased RWAs by £5.2bn primarily driven by changes in the mortgages credit risk model in Barclays UK
 
Methodology and Policy decreased RWAs by £1.1bn primarily driven by the effect of collateral modelling for mismatched FX collateral on average CVA and a new treatment for sovereign exposures, partly offset by modelled wholesale recalibration
 
Foreign exchange movements increased RWAs by £19.0bn primarily driven by the appreciation of ZAR, USD and EUR against GBP
 
 
 
 
Leverage ratio and exposures
 
Effective 1 January 2016, Barclays is required to disclose a leverage ratio and an average leverage ratio applicable to the Group:
 
 
 
The leverage ratio is consistent with the December 2015 method of calculation and has been included in the table below. The calculation uses the end point CRR definition of Tier 1 capital for the numerator and the CRR definition of leverage exposure. The current expected minimum fully loaded requirement is 3%, but this could be impacted by the Basel Consultation on the Leverage Framework
 
 
 
The average leverage ratio as outlined by the PRA Supervisory Statement SS45/15 and the updated PRA rulebook is calculated as the capital measure divided by the exposure measure, where the capital and exposure measure is based on the average of the last day of each month in the quarter. The expected end point minimum requirement is 3.5% comprising of the 3% minimum requirement, a fully phased in G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB). The minimum requirement is on a phased basis in line with the CET1 G-SII buffer which results in a minimum requirement of 3.175% at 31 December 2016
 
 
At 31 December 2016, Barclays’ leverage ratio was 4.6% (December 2015: 4.5%) and the average leverage ratio was 4.3%, which exceeds the transitional minimum requirement for Barclays of 3.175% and expected end point minimum requirement of 3.5%.
 
In August 2016, the PRA implemented the FPC’s recommendation to allow firms to exclude qualifying central bank claims from the calculation of the leverage exposure measure, as long as these are matched by deposits denominated in the same currency, subject to firms obtaining permission from the PRA.  This change in reporting requirements is effective 1 April 2017 and will result in a modification to the calculation of the exposure measure for the purpose of calculating the UK leverage ratio.  At 31 December 2016, Barclays’ reported leverage ratio and average leverage ratio disclosed below is unaffected by this announcement as firms are required to disclose based on the existing rules.  The impact of the PRA rule modification would have resulted in an average leverage ratio of 4.5% and a leverage ratio at 31 December 2016 of 5.0%.

Included within financial assets designated at fair value are reverse repurchase agreements designated at fair value of £63bn (2015: £50bn).
 
 
The leverage ratio increased to 4.6% (December 2015: 4.5%) primarily driven by a £5.8bn increase in fully loaded Tier 1 capital to £52.0bn (December 2015: £46.2bn), partially offset by an increase in the leverage exposure of £97bn to £1,125bn (December 2015: £1,028bn):
 
 
The IFRS asset increase was mainly driven by loans and advances and other assets which increased £82bn to £707bn. The increase was primarily due to the appreciation of major currencies against GBP, an increase in liquidity pool assets and lending growth in Barclays UK and Barclays International. This was partially offset by the rundown and exit of Non-Core assets
 
SFT adjustments increased by £13bn to £29bn, primarily as a result of a change in treatment of securities pre-positioned for use against undrawn central bank lending facilities
 
PFE on derivatives increased by £7bn to £136bn primarily driven by the appreciation of major currencies against GBP, partially offset by compression activity, sale of positions and maturity of trades
 
Weighted off balance sheet commitments increased by £8bn to £119bn primarily driven by the appreciation of major currencies against GBP
 
The average leverage exposure measure for Q416 was £1,206bn resulting in an average leverage ratio of 4.3%. The CET1 capital held against the 0.175% transitional G-SII ALRB was £2bn. The impact of the CCLB is currently nil. 
 
The difference between the average leverage ratio and the leverage ratio was primarily driven by higher positions in October and November within trading portfolio assets, reverse repurchase agreements and settlements balances.

Excluding impairment charges on available for sale investments and reverse repurchase agreements.
 
 
Total loans and advances decreased by £12bn to £450bn driven by a £31bn decrease due to the reclassification of BAGL balances to held for sale and £9bn from the exit of other assets in Non-Core. This was offset by lending of £20bn driven by volume growth and foreign currency movements due to the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP. There was also a net £9bn increase in settlement and cash collateral balances.
Credit risk loans (CRLs) and the ratio of CRLs to gross loans and advances excluding BAGL balances now held for sale remained stable at £6.5bn (2015: £6.4bn) and 1.5% (2015: 1.6%) respectively.
Loan impairment charges increased £0.6bn to £2.4bn primarily due to increased charges following the management review of impairment modelling for UK and US cards portfolios and the impairment of a number of single name exposures. Overall, this resulted in a 11bps increase in the loan loss rate to 53bps.

Excluding BAGL balances, CRLs remained stable at £6.5bn (2015: £6.4bn) with the Group’s CRL coverage ratio increasing to 71% (2015: 65%) mainly within retail portfolios
 
The CRL coverage ratio for retail portfolios increased to 82% (2015: 72%) primarily due to increased impairment allowances following the management review of impairment modelling of the UK and US cards portfolio
 
PPLs increased to £2.2bn (2015: £1.7bn) primarily within Barclays International wholesale portfolios. The increase was driven by exposures within the Corporate and Investment Bank across a number of industries
 
 
Analysis of specific portfolios and asset types
This section provides an analysis of principal portfolios and businesses in the retail and wholesale segments. In particular, home loans, credit cards, overdrafts and unsecured loans are covered for retail segments. In addition, this section details exposures to UK commercial real estate.
Secured home loans
The UK home loans portfolio comprises first lien home loans and accounts for 98%1 (2015: 98%) of the Group’s core home loan balances and 91% (2015: £90%) of the Group’s total home loan balances. Italy home loans accounts for 100% (2015: 91%) of the Group’s Non-Core home loan balances and 7% (2015: 7%) of the Group’s total home loan balances.

Barclays UK: Portfolio performance remained steady reflecting the continuing low base rate environment, house price appreciation and steady economic conditions. Non-performing proportion of outstanding balances and recovery book impairment coverage reduced due to a reduction in repossession stock.
 
Within the UK home loans portfolio:
 
 
owner-occupied interest-only home loans comprised 31% (2015: 32%) of total balances. The average balance weighted LTV on these loans reduced to 41.7% (2015: 44.7%) as house prices have improved across core regions, and >90 day arrears excluding recovery book remained steady at 0.2% (2015: 0.2%)
 
buy-to-let home loans comprised 9% (2015: 9% ) of total balances. The average balance weighted LTV reduced to 52.6% (2015: 54.6%), and >90 day arrears excluding recovery book reduced to 0.1% (2015: 0.2%)
 
Credit cards and unsecured loans

For UK and US cards, outstanding recovery book balances for acquired portfolios recognised at fair value (which have no related impairment allowance) have been excluded from the recovery book impairment coverage ratio. Losses have been recognised where related to additional spend from acquired accounts in the period post
acquisition.
 
3
2015 recovery book coverage ratio has been restated from 85.2% to 82.2% to reflect more granular allocation of management adjustments to the recovery book.
 
 
UK cards: Gross loans and advances decreased 4% to £17.8bn primarily due to reduced loans and advances to banks. Annualised gross charge-off rates increased due to accelerated asset sales in the latter half of the year and accelerated charge off of informal arrangement stock. The recovery book impairment coverage ratio increased, reflecting the impact of increased flow into charge-off.
UK personal loans: 30 day arrears increased to 2.1% (2015: 1.9%) and 90 day arrears increased to 0.9% (2015: 0.8%) driven by portfolio growth and an increased level of operational delinquency from new customer acquisitions. The recovery book proportion of outstanding balances reduced to 4.7% (2015: 7.5%) due to an asset sale that also resulted in an increase in the recovery book impairment coverage ratio to 77.2% (2015: 73.9%).
US cards: Gross loans and advances increased 43% to £23.9bn due to portfolio growth, new acquisitions and the appreciation of USD against GBP. Increased arrears and charge-off rates were driven by a change in portfolio mix, volume growth and the appreciation of average USD against GBP.
Barclays Partner Finance: Portfolio arrears and charge-off rates remained broadly steady during 2016.
Germany cards: Loans and advances were 28% higher mainly due to a combination of the appreciation of EUR against GBP and portfolio growth. 90 day arrears and charge off rates remained stable, while the recovery book coverage ratio reduced slightly reflecting favourable recovery expectations.
 
Exposure to UK commercial real estate (CRE)
The UK CRE portfolio includes property investment, development, trading and house builders but excludes social housing and contractors.

Financial Statement Notes
 
1. Assets included in disposal groups classified as held for sale and associated liabilities
 
On 1 March 2016, Barclays announced its intention to reduce the Group’s 62.3% interest in BAGL. This reduction is intended to be to a level which will permit deconsolidation from an accounting and regulatory perspective, for which approval was granted by shareholders at the Group’s general meeting held on 28 April 2016. On 5 May 2016 Barclays sold 12.2% of the Group’s interest in BAGL resulting in a transfer to non-controlling interests of £601m. Following this sale, Barclays’ interest represents 50.1% of BAGL’s share capital. The BAGL disposal group includes all assets and liabilities of BAGL and its subsidiaries as well as Group balances associated with BAGL and expected contributions that will form part of the sale.
 
No impairment for BAGL has been recognised under IFRS 5 as at 31 December 2016. Impairment under IFRS 5 is calculated as the difference between fair value less disposal costs and the carrying value of the disposal group. The fair value is determined by reference to the quoted market price for BAGL and the foreign exchange rate for ZAR/GBP as at 31 December 2016, less the expected contributions on page 57. The fair value less disposal costs and expected contributions exceeds the net asset value at 31 December 2016.
Barclays continues to explore potential options for further disposal of its shares in BAGL during the course of 2017.

The carrying value of the disposal group is stated after the elimination of internal balances between Barclays and BAGL of £595m. Internal balances have been considered in determining the carrying value of BAGL (of £7.3bn before the planned contributions in respect of BAGL) for the purposes of measuring the disposal group at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
2
In December 2016, Barclays finalised proposals regarding planned contributions to the BAGL group relating to the reimbursement of certain expenses as well as contributions for investment to support separation activities. The cash and cash equivalents to make these planned contributions is included within the perimeter of the
disposalgroup, also for the purposes of measuring the disposal group at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The planned contributions are reported within Cash and balances at central banks in the Group's consolidated balance sheet.
3
In December 2016, Barclays reimbursed BAGL for expenses incurred for an amount of £28m. This amount is excluded from the proposed overall potential reimbursement and contribution figure of £866m.
 
The BAGL disposal group meets the requirements for presentation as a discontinued operation. As such, the results, which have been presented as the profit after tax and non-controlling interest in respect of the discontinued operation on the face of the Group income statement, are analysed in the income statement below.

2. Tax
The 2016 tax charge of £993m (2015: £1,149m), represented an effective tax rate of 30.7% (2015: 100.3%). The effective tax rate is higher than the UK statutory rate of 20% (2015: 20.25%) primarily due to profits earned outside the UK being taxed at higher local statutory tax rates. In addition the effective tax rate is affected by provisions for UK customer redress being non-deductible for tax purposes, non-creditable taxes and non-deductible expenses including UK bank levy.  These factors, which have each increased the effective tax rate, are partially offset by the impact of non-taxable gains and income, including those arising from divestments, and adjustments in respect of prior years.
 
The deferred tax asset of £4,869m (2015: £4,495m) mainly relates to amounts in the US.

Equity attributable to non-controlling interests increased by £438m to £6,492m in December 2016 driven by the sale of 12.2% of the Group’s stake in BAGL increasing the non-controlling interest from 37.6% to 49.9% and the appreciation of ZAR against GBP. These increases were partially offset by the redemption of preference shares issued by Barclays Bank PLC.

Payment Protection Insurance Redress
As at 31 December 2016, Barclays had recognised cumulative provisions totalling £8.44bn (31 December 2015: £7.44bn) against the cost of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) redress and associated processing costs with utilisation of £6.46bn (31 December 2015: £5.33bn), leaving a residual provision of £1.98bn (31 December 2015: £2.11bn).
Through to 31 December 2016, 1.8m (31 December 2015: 1.6m) customer initiated claims1 had been received and processed. The volume of claims received during 2016 decreased 8%2 from 2015. This rate of decline was slower than previously recorded but in line with expectations.
The current provision reflects the estimate of costs of PPI redress primarily relating to customer initiated complaints and on-going remediation programmes. This also includes liabilities managed by third parties arising from portfolios previously sold where Barclays remains liable.
As at 31 December 2016, the provision of £1.98bn represents Barclays’ best estimate of expected PPI redress reflecting the revised complaints deadline proposed in Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation paper 16/20 issued on 2 August 2016. However, it is possible the eventual outcome may differ from the current estimate. We will continue to review the adequacy of provision level in respect of the on-going level of complaints.
The PPI provision is calculated using a number of key assumptions which continue to involve significant management judgement and modelling:
 
 
Customer initiated claim volumes – claims received but not yet processed plus an estimate of future claims initiated by customers where the volume is anticipated to cease after H119
 
Average claim redress – the expected average payment to customers for upheld claims based on the type and age of the policy/policies
 
Processing cost per claim – the cost to Barclays of assessing and processing each valid claim
 
These assumptions remain subjective, in particular due to the uncertainty associated with future claims levels, which include complaints driven by Claims Management Company (CMC) activity.
The current provision represents Barclays’ revised best estimate of all future expected costs of PPI redress based on information available at year end.
 
The following table details actual data through to 31 December 2016, key 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.

Total claims received directly by Barclays to date, including those received via CMCs but excluding those for which no PPI policy exists and excluding responses to proactive mailing.

8. Retirement Benefits
 
 As at 31 December 2016, the Group’s IAS 19 (Revised) pension deficit across all schemes was £0.4bn (2015: £0.4bn surplus). The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had a deficit of £0.03bn (2015: £0.8bn surplus).
The movement for the UKRF is mainly due to a decrease in discount rate to 2.62% (2015: 3.82%), and an increase in inflation rate to 3.35% (2015: 3.05%) partially offset by deficit contributions, updated mortality assumptions based on scheme experience, and higher than assumed returns on plan assets.
The triennial funding valuation of the UKRF is currently underway with an effective date of 30 September 2016. Contribution requirements, including any deficit recovery plans, are expected to be agreed between the Bank and Trustee by the end of 2017. In these discussions, the Bank and the Trustee are taking into account the impact of the Structural Reform Programme.
The 2013 valuation was completed in 2014 with an effective date of 30 September 2013. The funding deficit at that date was calculated to be £3.6bn. Under the agreed recovery plan, deficit contributions of £300m were paid in 2016, with further deficit contributions of £740m payable each year between 2017 and 2021. Up to £500m of the 2021 deficit contributions is payable in 2017 if the funding deficit remains over £2.6bn. 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 2015 and showed a deficit of £6.0bn.
9. Called Up Share Capital
 
Called up share capital comprises 16,963m (2015: 16,805m) ordinary shares of 25p each. The increase was due to the issuance of 116m (2015: 253m) shares under employee share schemes and a further 42m (2015: 54m) issued as part of the Barclays PLC Scrip Dividend Programme.
 
10. Other Equity Instruments
Other Equity Instruments of £6,449m (2015: £5,305m) include AT1 securities issued by Barclays PLC. In 2016 there was one issuance of CRD IV end point qualifying AT1 capital instruments, with a principal amount of £1.1bn (2015: £1.0bn)
The AT1 securities are perpetual securities with no fixed maturity and are structured to qualify as AT1 instruments under CRD IV. All AT1 securities will be converted into ordinary shares of Barclays PLC, at a pre-determined price, should the fully loaded CET1 ratio of Barclays PLC fall below 7.0%.

Currency Translation Reserve
As at 31 December 2016 there was a credit balance of £3,051m (2015: £623m debit) in the currency translation reserve. The increase in the credit balance of £3,674m (2015: £41m debit) principally reflected the strengthening of all major currencies against GBP. The currency translation reserve movement associated with non-controlling interests was a £801m credit (2015: £435m debit) reflecting the strengthening of ZAR against GBP.
During the year a £101m net gain (2015: £65m net loss) from recycling of the currency translation reserve was recognised in the income statement.
Available for Sale Reserve
As at 31 December 2016 there was a debit balance of £74m (2015: £317m credit) in the available for sale reserve.  The decrease of £391m (2015: £245m decrease) was primarily due to a £2,192m gain from changes in fair value of Government Bonds, predominantly held in the liquidity pool. This was more than offset by £1,677m of losses from related hedging and £912m of net gains transferred to net profit, mainly due to £615m sale of Visa Europe Limited by Visa Inc. A tax charge of £28m was recognised in the period relating to these items.
Cash Flow Hedging Reserve
As at 31 December 2016, there was a credit balance of £2,105m (2015: £1,261m credit) in the cash flow hedging reserve. The increase of £844m (2015: £556m decrease) principally reflected a £1,595m increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes as interest rate forward curves decreased, partially offset by £450m gains recycled to the income statement in line with when the hedged item affects profit or loss and tax charge of £326m. This tax charge reflects the introduction of the new surcharge of 8% that applies to bank’s UK profits with effect from January 2016, in addition to the standard UK corporation tax of 20%.
 
Other Reserves and Treasury Shares
As at 31 December 2016 there was a credit balance of £969m (2015: £943m credit) in other reserves and treasury shares. The increase principally reflected £166m (2015: £618m) transferred from treasury shares reflecting the vesting of deferred share based payments, partially offset by £140m (2015: £602m) net purchases of treasury shares held for the purposes of employee share schemes.
 
 
Appendix: Non-IFRS performance measures
 
The Barclays management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the business’ performance between financial periods, and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of Barclays PLC and its subsidiaries (the Group). They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays’ management.
Non-IFRS and IFRS performance measures may also be presented on an excluding notable items basis. Notable items are considered to be significant items impacting comparability of performance.
Any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well.

Returns
Return on average allocated tangible equity is calculated as profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (adjusted for the tax credit recorded in reserves in respect of interest payments on other equity instruments) divided by average allocated tangible equity for the period as appropriate, excluding non-controlling and other equity interests for businesses. Allocated tangible equity has been calculated as 11.5% of CRD IV fully loaded risk weighted assets for each business, adjusted for CRD IV fully loaded capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office average tangible equity represents the difference between the Group's average tangible equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.
