Forward-looking statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-
looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate
only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’,
‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made
in writing but also may be made verbally by directors, officers and employees of the Group (including during management presentations) in
connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the
Group’s future financial position, business strategy, income levels, costs, assets and liabilities, impairment charges, provisions, capital leverage and
other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including policy on dividends and share buybacks), return on tangible equity, projected levels of growth
in banking and financial markets, industry trends, any commitments and targets (including sustainability-related commitments and targets), plans
and objectives for future operations, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and other statements that are not historical or current facts.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking
statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements may be affected by a number of factors, including,
without limitation: changes in legislation, regulations, governmental and regulatory policies, expectations and actions, voluntary codes of practices
and the interpretation thereof, changes in IFRS and other accounting standards, including practices with regard to the interpretation and application
thereof and emerging and developing sustainability reporting standards (including emissions accounting methodologies); changes in tax laws and
practice; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; the Group’s ability along with governments and other
stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively or navigate inconsistencies and conflicts in the manner in
which climate policy is implemented in the regions where the Group operates, including as a result of the adoption of rules and regulations taking a
different or opposing position on sustainability matters, or other forms of governmental and regulatory action against sustainability policies;
environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group’s control; financial crime; the impact of competition in
the banking and financial services industry; capital, liquidity, leverage and other regulatory rules and requirements applicable to past, current and
future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions, including inflation; volatility in credit and capital markets;
market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; reforms to benchmark interest rates and indices; higher or lower
asset valuations; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by it; changes in counterparty risk; changes in
consumer behaviour; changes in trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs or other protectionist measures; the direct and indirect consequences
of the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; changes in
US legislation and policy; developments in the UK’s relationship with the European Union; the risk of cyberattacks, information or security breaches,
technology failures or operational disruptions and any subsequent impact on the Group’s reputation, business or operations; the use of new
technology, including artificial intelligence; the Group’s ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures and other
strategic transactions. A number of these factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual financial position, results, financial
and non-financial metrics or performance measures or its ability to meet commitments and targets may differ materially from the statements or
guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. In setting its targets and outlook for the period 2026-2028, Barclays has made certain
assumptions about the macroeconomic environment, including, without limitation, inflation, interest and unemployment rates, the different markets
and competitive conditions in which Barclays operates, and its ability to grow certain businesses and achieve costs savings and other structural
actions. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC’s filings
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial
year ended 31 December 2025), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Subject to Barclays PLC's obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the UK and
the US) in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
