Good morning. It's good to see you all this year. Thank you for coming. And welcome to our First Full Year 2024 Results and Progress Update Presentation. You can see the agenda for the morning on this slide. We'll go straight into results before turning to review progress in the first year of our three-year plan. And as usual, there will be an opportunity for those in the room to ask questions at the end. Note, we also include an update on key operational developments for each of our five divisions as an annex to today's presentation. We won't talk to these slides, but have included them in the spirit of transparency and to help you understand how we are delivering our plan. So let me start with some performance highlights before handing over to Anna to take you through the financials. At our investor update last February, we set out a three-year plan to deliver a better run, more strongly performing, and higher returning Barclays. I'm encouraged by the progress which we have made during the first year. We are executing the plan in a disciplined way and have achieved all of our financial targets for 2024, and we are on track to achieve our 2026 targets. Last year, we delivered a return on tangible equity of 10.5% in line with our target of greater than 10%. We also announced GBP 3 billion of capital distributions, an important step towards our target to distribute at least GBP 10 billion to shareholders by 2026. This includes GBP 1.2 billion of dividends, enabling a 5% increase in our dividends per share to 8.4p, and also GBP 1.75 billion in buybacks, GBP 1 billion of which was announced today and which we expect to initiate in the coming days. We have made progress on deploying GBP 30 billion of additional RWAs in our highest returning UK businesses, while keeping Investment Banking RWAs broadly stable. This has resulted in the Investment Bank falling from 58%-56% of the group's RWAs, on its way to our 2026 target of circa 50%. And we remain well capitalized, ending the year with a CET1 ratio of 13.6% within our range of 13%-14%. We are improving the quality of our income and the stability and durability of our returns. And we are making progress towards our approximately GBP 30 billion income target in 2026. Our top line grew by GBP 1.4 billion, or 6% year-on-year during 2024. And we achieved our NII targets for the group and for Barclays UK. Our structural hedge provides a predictable and highly visible source of net interest income growth over several years. Our cost- to- income ratio for the full year 2024 was 62%, better than our guidance of circa 63%. Our credit performance was also strong, particularly in the UK, with a group loan loss rate of 46 basis points for the year, below our through-the-cycle 50-60 basis points target range. Across Barclays, we are focused on execution. We deliver GBP 300 million of gross efficiency, cost efficiency savings in the fourth quarter, enabling us to achieve our GBP 1 billion target for all of 2024. We remain focused on improving our operational and financial performance across each of our five divisions. Anna will review our financial performance by division shortly, but let me first cover a few highlights. Barclays UK delivered a return on tangible equity of 23% for the year. On the 1st of November, we completed the acquisition of Tesco Bank. Through this acquisition, we have gained a strategic relationship with the U.K.'s largest retailer, supporting growth in our home market. We plan to leverage our expertise in partnership credit cards developed over years, decades in the U.S., to drive further growth and customer engagement. Across the rest of Barclays UK, deposit balances have continued to stabilize, and lending trends are encouraging, resulting in organic balance sheet growth in the fourth quarter. UK Corporate and the Private Bank and Wealth Management divisions also contributed to the group's balance sheet expansion. In the Investment Bank, our objective is to improve returns by regaining market share and improving our RWA productivity and cost efficiency. I'm broadly satisfied with how we have fared against these metrics. And of course, I expect further significant progress in each of the next two years in order to deliver our targets. The 8.5% RoTE for the Investment Bank in 2024 is up 1.5% year-on-year, and it's a good step on our journey to deliver returns in line with the group by 2026, and we expect the Investment Bank to deliver further progress on RoTE in the year ahead. Returns in the US Consumer Bank improved to 9% from 4% as impairment charges normalized as expected and as we proactively improved our operational performance. We've also made good progress to simplify the bank by divesting the non-strategic businesses that we outlined at our investor update. This included the Italian mortgage portfolios in 2024 and the German consumer finance business completed last month. Before I hand over to Anna, I would like to make two broad points. The first is about the composition and quality of our businesses and of our results. As I hope you see in our 2024 outcomes and in our 2025 outlook, we are aiming to construct a bank with a good mix of businesses which perform well individually and collectively. We aim to achieve a healthy balance between consumer and wholesale activities, a sound revenue weighting among fees, interest, and transactions, and a geographical mix which takes advantage of the full scope of our presence in the U.K., the depth and breadth of our business in the U.S., and from both those locations, bridges to the important financial centers of the world. Through this, we aim to deliver robust and reliable performance across interest rate and credit cycles. That is the objective of the business strategy which we presented last year and which we continue to prosecute. My second broad point is that while Anna and I have the honor to present our results, this performance has been generated by over 90,000 colleagues at Barclays. They have helped implement the strategy so far, and they are core to our achieving success over the next two years. To further align their efforts with our shareholders' interests, our colleagues should be able to participate in the ultimate outcome of their work, which is the change in our share price. Therefore, we are announcing today a share grant of approximately GBP 500 each for the vast majority of our colleagues, essentially all employees across all locations outside of managing directors and what we call material risk takers. I have long felt that this kind of alignment between shareholders and employees through broad-based equity participation strengthens business outcomes. In the U.K., sadly, broad-based equity ownership has been declining. This represents our effort towards arresting and correcting this trend. So with that, I'll hand over to Anna. Thank you, Venkat, and good morning, everyone. Slide six summarizes our financial highlights for the fourth quarter and full year. Profit before tax was GBP 8.1 billion and was up 24%. This included a Q4 profit before tax of GBP 1.7 billion, up from GBP 0.1 billion. Before going into the detail, as always, I would note that our results are affected by FX rates. The year-on-year performance in Q4 was impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar, which decreased our reported income, costs, and impairments. Conversely, the dollar strengthened from Q3 to Q4. And I'll call out these effects where appropriate. Group's statutory RoTE was 10.5% for 2024 versus our target of greater than 10%. This was against the previous year's RoTE of 9%, which was impacted by GBP 0.9 billion of structural cost actions in Q4. Much of the improvement in RoTE reflected higher income, particularly in the Investment Bank, Barclays UK, and Private Bank and Wealth Management. This improvement occurred even as we grew tangible book value per share by GBP 0.26 during the year to GBP 3.57. Throughout the year, as you know, I've been looking for four things in our performance: income stability, cost discipline and progress on efficiency savings, credit performance, and a robust capital position. We delivered on all four. I'll now cover these in more detail, starting with income on slide eight. Our income growth continues to be supported by the structural hedge and is now complemented by balance sheet growth. Income in the Investment Bank, while seasonally lower in Q4, benefited from the execution of our initiatives to improve productivity and an increase in the industry wallet. Together, this resulted in a 6% increase in total group income for the year to GBP 26.8 billion. Excluding FX, income was up 7% year-on-year. More stable income streams from retail, corporate, and financing grew 3% year-on-year and together contributed 74% of group income. Turning to NII, our group net interest income increased for the third consecutive year by 3% in FY24 to GBP 11.3 billion. Excluding Tesco, group NII increased 2% to GBP 11.2 billion, and within this, Barclays UK rose 1% to GBP 6.5 billion. Both were in line with our guidance at Q3 and more favorable than our February guidance. This reflected the benefit of higher than expected interest rates and faster deposit stabilization on our NII, including as a result of higher reinvestment income from the structural hedge. The structural hedge is designed to reduce income volatility and manage interest rate risk. The high proportion of balances hedged reduces our sensitivity to the short-term effect of rate cuts. NII from the hedge increased GBP 1.1 billion during the year to GBP 4.7 billion. Income provided by the hedge is significant and predictable. We've now locked in GBP 9.1 billion of gross income over the next two years, up from GBP 7.8 billion at Q3 and GBP 4.8 billion a year ago. This income will continue to build as we reinvest maturing assets at higher yields. As consumer deposit behavior has stabilized, the average duration of the hedge has increased modestly to around three years. Moving on to costs. We achieved a cost income ratio of 62% for the year, below our circa 63% target. This included a GBP 90 million motor finance provision in Q4. In line with our plan, we delivered GBP 1 billion of gross efficiency savings during the year, including GBP 0.3 billion during Q4. These savings created capacity for investments and business growth. We also took proactive steps to accelerate structural cost actions in a number of our divisions, given the strong performance in the year, whilst, importantly, still delivering on our cost income ratio target. The costs of these measures, which will support our future returns and efficiency, came to GBP 110 million in the quarter, or GBP 273 million in total for 2024, well within our normal annual range. Turning now to impairment. The Q4, sorry, the FY24 impairment charge of GBP 2 billion equated to a loan loss rate of 46 basis points. This included a Day 1 charge for Tesco Bank of GBP 209 million, where accounting rules require balances to be brought onto our books at Stage 1. The U.K. credit picture remains benign, with low and stable delinquencies in our consumer books and wholesale loan loss rates below our through-the-cycle expectations. Specifically, the Barclays UK charge was GBP 365 million, including Day 1 effects from Tesco, resulting in a loan loss rate of 16 basis points for 2024. The US Consumer Bank impairment charge was down 10% year-on-year at GBP 1.3 billion. Delinquencies in USCB are developing in line with our expectations, with 30- and 90-day delinquencies stable. As guided, impairment charges in this business were lower in 2024 versus the prior year, and H2 was also lower than H1. Coverage ratios remain strong. Looking ahead, we expect the loan loss rate in FY 2025 to be similar to 2024. This includes the lagged effect of higher delinquencies in the past 12 to 18 months and the anticipated Day 1 effect of bringing the General Motors partnership on board in Q3 2025. I would also note that loan loss rates tend to be seasonally higher in Q1, given holiday spend in Q4. Turning now to our UK growth. This slide summarizes key aspects of our organic growth. Gross mortgage lending strengthened throughout the year, supported by a more active property market and higher loan-to-value lending. 15% of our mortgage lending was to higher LTV borrowers, up from 9% in 2023. We acquired 1 million new Barclaycard customers, up 58% year-on-year, as part of our strategy to regain market share in unsecured lending. And in the Corporate Bank, we deployed around GBP 3 billion of RWAs by extending client lending facilities to support future lending growth. Clients have now started to draw down on these facilities, reflected in around GBP 1 billion of net UK Corporate loan growth in Q4. Turning now to Barclays UK. You can see financial highlights on slide 15, but I will talk to slide 16. The acquisition of Tesco Bank in November complicates comparisons for Q4, so let me start by unpacking the moving parts. First, there was a gain on acquisition of GBP 0.6 billion and a Day 1 impairment charge of GBP 0.2 billion. Together, these created a one-off benefit to Barclays UK's statutory RoTE, which was 28% in the quarter. Excluding these Day 1 effects, Barclays UK RoTE was 19.1%. Second, comparisons are affected by the inclusion of Tesco Bank's underlying earnings for two months since November. This included GBP 101 million of NII and around GBP 60 million of costs, in line with our guidance for GBP 30 million run rate costs per month. We continue to expect circa GBP 400 million of NII from Tesco in 2024-2025. Whilst the Q4 run rate exceeded this level, we expect this to normalize in future quarters. The inclusion of higher NIM balances from Tesco also explains around 11 of the 19 basis points increase in BUK NIM versus Q3. Excluding Tesco Bank, Barclays NII increased GBP 48 million Q on Q. This reflected continued structural hedge momentum and a tailwind from balance sheet growth, partially offset by product repricing lags. Non-NII was GBP 244 million in Q4. The decline versus Q3 reflects the one-off effect of the Q4 securitization that we previously highlighted. Going forward, we continue to expect a run rate above GBP 250 million per quarter. Q4 total costs increased by GBP 209 million versus Q3 to GBP 1.2 billion. This included around GBP 60 million for Tesco Bank and a GBP 36 million bank levy. The remaining increase reflected investment to support growth and structural cost actions. Moving on to the Barclays UK balance sheet. In Q4, both loans and deposits grew organically. The acquisition of Tesco Bank added a further GBP 8 billion of loans and GBP 7 billion of deposits. On an organic basis, deposit balances grew by circa GBP 1 billion. Flows into savings accounts and current accounts were particularly strong ahead of the UK Budget in October, and customers have so far retained this liquidity. Looking ahead, tax payments during Q1 typically lead to a seasonal reduction in customer deposit balances, and as I discussed earlier, stronger activity in mortgages and Barclaycard led to a GBP 1 billion increase in Q4 lending before the effect of our securitization in the quarter. Moving on to the UK Corporate Bank. UK Corporate Bank delivered a Q4 RoTE of 12.3%. NII was up 31% year-on-year, reflecting deposit income growth and the non-repeat of adverse liquidity pool income in the prior year. Non-NII was down 9% year-on-year and broadly flat to Q3. While this line can be volatile, we expect investments in our digital and lending propositions to drive non-NII growth over time. Investments to support this growth and to drive greater efficiency led to a 10% year-on-year increase in costs, excluding the structural cost actions we took in Q4 2023. And our full-year loan loss rate of 29 basis points was within our through-the-cycle guidance of circa 35 basis points. Turning now to Private Bank and Wealth Management. Q4 RoTE was 23.9%. Client assets and liabilities grew GBP 7 billion versus Q3 and GBP 26 billion versus the prior year. We also attracted net new assets under management of GBP 0.7 billion in Q4 and GBP 3.7 billion for the year. This is a new metric that we will disclose going forward. This growth in volumes, as well as higher transactional activity, led to a 12% year-on-year increase in income. Excluding Q4 2023 structural cost actions, costs were up 15% year-on-year as we took further actions this quarter to optimize headcount and drive business growth. As you heard at our deep dive in December, we will continue to prioritize investment in this business. Turning now to the Investment Bank. The Q4 RoTE was seasonally low at 3.4%, with a full-year RoTE of 8.5%, both ahead of the prior year. Q4 total income was up 28% year-on-year, while total costs rose 11%, excluding the Q4 structural cost actions. This was the third consecutive quarter of positive jaws. Adjusted for FX, total income was up 31% year-on-year, and costs were up 12% year-on-year, excluding structural cost actions in the prior year. Part of the increase in our Q4 costs reflected actions we took to improve future efficiency. Period-end RWAs of GBP 199 billion were 5 billion higher versus Q3, with FX accounting for 6 billion of the increase. Now looking at the Q4 income in more detail. Using the US dollar figures as usual to help comparison to US peers, Markets income was up 36% year-on-year. Macroeconomic conditions supported a 32% increase in FICC income driven by financing, credit, rates, and FX. Equities income was up 44%, aided by strong performance across cash, prime, and derivatives. Investment banking fees rose 22%. For FY24 as a whole, our share of banking fees increased by 30 basis points to 3.3%, but we have more work to do to build on this improvement. Within Q4, our ECM performance was strong, with income up 160% year-on-year. Advisory fees were also up 12%, with good momentum and a robust pipeline headed into 2025. While DCM was up 10% year-on-year, our performance was mixed. In Leveraged Finance, we increased market share by 70 basis points to 4.7% in a strong market. This was offset by softer performance in investment grade, particularly in Q4, with a strong Asian wallet, which we did not participate in given our limited presence in the region. In addition, we were less active in event financing in the quarter, and this represents an opportunity as we further improve our advisory capabilities. Importantly, we saw progress in areas of the Investment Bank that inherently have more stable revenues. Financing income was up 34%, reflecting a strong increase in client balances, and International Corporate Bank income was up 22%. U.S. deposit balances grew by circa 90% year-on-year, which we see as a lead indicator of income growth. US Consumer Bank RoTE was 11.2% in the quarter. The improvement versus the prior year reflected lower impairment charges following the reserve build in H2 2023. Income was down 1% year-on-year or up 1%, excluding FX. This reflected a $0.9 billion increase in card balances to $33.1 billion on a reported basis. From Q3 to Q4, NII increased 5%, supported by seasonally stronger balances, which also grew 5%. NIM rose 28 basis points, partly reflecting the lagged benefit of our repricing actions earlier in the year. The successful launch of our new tiered retail savings product in Q3 led to a 17% year-on-year growth in retail deposit funding, with a $2 billion increase in Q4. The proportion of core deposits rose 1% year-on-year to 64%, reflecting wholesale funding raised during Q4 to meet seasonal asset growth. As seasonal spending eases, we should see a further increase in our share of funding from core deposits towards our target of 75% in 2026. Excluding Q4 2023 structural cost actions, total costs were up 8% as we continue to invest in the growth of the business, driving a cost-to-income ratio of 51%. Moving to capital. We ended the year with a CET1 ratio of 13.6%. This included around 140 basis points of capital generation from profits, excluding the Day 1 P&L benefit of the Tesco Bank acquisition. We previously highlighted two inorganic transactions that would impact capital in the near term, both of which have now completed. The first was the circa 20 basis points of capital consumption from the acquisition of Tesco Bank in Q4. The second is the circa 10 basis points accretion from the sale of the German consumer finance business, which was completed last month and will benefit the CET1 ratio in Q1 2025. The GBP 1 billion share buyback we announced today will also lower the ratio by around 30 basis points in Q1. Looking ahead, we maintain our guidance for between 19 and 26 billion of regulatory-driven RWA inflation. The UK regulator's decision to postpone the implementation of Basel 3.1 to January 2027 may, however, alter the mix and phasing of this change. Adopting IRB in the US Consumer Bank is still expected to increase RWAs by circa 16 billion. While uncertainty around the size and the mix of the portfolio at the time of implementation has increased, this remains our best estimate for now. In the meantime, there are a few changes in the regulatory landscape. Prior to implementing IRB for US cards, our Pillar 2A requirement will increase by 0.1% from Q1 2025. We expect this Pillar 2A capital to be removed when the IRB model is implemented in 2026 or 2027, when the 16 billion RWA increase is reflected in Pillar 1. Consequently, our maximum distributable amount ratio, or MDA, is expected to rise to 12.2% from Q1 2025. We previously expected that this would reduce following the implementation of Basel 3 in January 2026, but this will now be delayed to January 2027. Reflecting this, you should continue to expect us to operate towards the upper half of our 13%-14% target CET1 range as we have been doing. Naturally, our distribution expectations remain unchanged. Turning now to recent RWA developments. RWAs increased 18 billion from Q3 to 358 billion. Tesco Bank added 7, and a further 7 was driven by FX in the Investment Bank and the US C onsumer Bank. As usual, a brief word on our overall capital and liquidity on slide 30. We maintain a well-capitalized and liquid balance sheet with diverse sources of funding and a significant excess of deposits over loans. TNAV per share increased by 6 pence in the quarter and by 26 pence during 2024 to 357 pence. Attributable profit added 6 pence per share during Q4, whilst our share buyback and other movements added 1 pence and 3 pence, respectively. These were partially offset by a more negative cash flow hedge reserve, which reduced TNAV by 4 pence per share. This is the fourth quarter in the 12-quarter plan we laid out in February. Today, we are reiterating our group targets for 2026 and providing additional guidance for 2025, including a further improvement in group RoTE to around 11%. I'll come back to discuss the building blocks of this guidance in more detail with you. But first, I would like to hand back to Venkat to take you through some reflections on progress during the first year of our plan. Thank you, Anna. So, almost a year ago today, we set out interim milestones for 2024, which we have delivered. Our plan was set on realistic assumptions, which, together with our diversified business model, allowed us effectively to navigate market, macro, and regulatory conditions throughout the year. So, what were these? UK deposits have stabilized faster, and the Investment Banking wallet has been stronger than we expected. Fixed income, FICC, which is traditionally an area of strength for us, performed slightly weaker than we had expected in 2024, but our strong performance in equities, where we have taken market share, partially compensated for this, rebalancing our overall markets business, and the economic environment has been more supportive, with interest rates remaining higher, alongside more benign unemployment and inflation in our main U.K. and U.S. markets. Last year, I described the important reset of our financial performance and shareholder returns since 2021. I also told you that this improvement was not sufficient and that our shareholder experience needed to be better. We are making progress on our plan, and we are generating growth. Notably, we have achieved our fifth consecutive year of TNAV per share growth of 8% during 2024 and 7% annually since 2019. This positive outcome reflects improvements in our returns and growth of our earnings per share, including by 30% year-on-year during 2024 to the highest level in a decade. This enabled a 5% increase in total distributions, including progressive growth in our dividend per share. For the group as a whole, we look to generate higher returns in two ways. First, by allocating more capital to our higher returning U.K. businesses, which I'll come on to discuss, and second, by improving returns in the lower returning businesses, namely the Investment Bank and the US Consumer Bank. That was true last year when we set out our strategy, and it remains true today. We are making progress, including in target growth areas of the Investment Bank, but further improvements are needed to achieve our RoTE target of greater than 12%. And in the US Consumer Bank, too, we remain focused on rebuilding returns towards the mid-teens RoTE beyond 2026. A reduction of impairments in line with our expectations, as well as other operational improvements, enabled a 9% RoTE in 2024 versus 4% in 2023. Let me now discuss the allocation of capital to higher returning divisions in more detail. At our investor update, we outlined a plan to create a more balanced group. To do this, we plan to allocate GBP 30 billion of additional RWAs to our three highest returning businesses: Barclays UK, the UK Corporate Bank, and Private Bank and Wealth Management. As we expected, actions that we took during the year began to generate organic balance sheet growth towards the end of the year. Including the acquisition of Tesco Bank, RWAs in our highest returning UK businesses increased by GBP 13 billion due to business growth and by GBP 15 billion overall in 2024. As Anna has discussed earlier, leading indicators of growth across our UK businesses are encouraging. Given this, we expect a step up in our organic RWA deployment during the year, with further momentum in 2026. We are committed to keeping Investment Bank RWAs relatively stable at 2023 levels, and this is the third consecutive year in which this division has operated with this level of capital. We continue to expect Investment Banking RWAs to fall proportionately to about 50% of the group by 2026, from 56% today as we grow the three UK businesses. Taking a closer look at the Tesco Bank acquisition, which we are thinking about in three stages: acquire, integrate, and improve. The first stage was completed on the 1st of November 2024. The acquisition has added GBP 8 billion to our unsecured balances, moving our weighting and credit cards and personal loans towards our 2019 position. The profile of Tesco Bank's customers is attractive. As we show in our operational data pack on slide 57, Tesco Bank's customers have a higher spend per card than the market average. Tesco's position as the U.K.'s largest retailer, with strong customer satisfaction and more than 20 million Tesco Clubcard holders, provides a significant customer growth opportunity. We've also gained an additional brand to operate with and an open market lending capability. The second stage is to integrate Tesco Bank, which we intend to do during 2025 and 2026. This involves onboarding Tesco customers to Barclays' platform in 2026 to reduce duplication of systems and processes while maintaining a strong customer experience. The integration will require some upfront investment, but the realization of synergies will reduce the run rate costs. These actions are factored into our plan, and we continue to target a circa 50% cost income ratio for Barclays UK in 2026, following an increase in 2025 given the costs associated with the Tesco Bank. The third stage is to improve the business, which we expect to gain momentum after 2027. This will involve further growing customer balances supported by better access to funding and to capital. This increased scale will enable greater efficiency as fixed costs are spread over a larger customer base. Turning now to the US Consumer Bank, we've made meaningful progress in 2024, improving RoTE to 9% from 4% and achieving a cost income ratio of 49%. We also announced that our American Airlines partnership will not be renewed beyond 2026. American Airlines has been a card partner in our business for seven years as part of a dual issuer model, and we valued our long relationship with them. We knew that the partnership could transition to a single issuer model. That happened last year, and we chose not to participate on that basis. The ending of our partnership provides a short-term gain on sale in 2026 and releases capital that we intend to use to diversify the business. We expect the overall credit mix of the portfolio to change, still prime, but with less weighting to super prime balances, and all things being equal, this will lead to a higher net interest margin and loan loss rate and a higher risk-adjusted margin for the portfolio. Our 2026 targets are unchanged, including an RoTE of greater than 12% in line with the group, as the gain on sale offsets lower profitability due to the loss of the receivables. We are confident in our ability to grow card balances to achieve necessary scale in the US Consumer Bank. In line with our broader group strategy, the plan is organic, and organic growth has driven around 85% of the increase in our net card receivables since 2011. Looking ahead, we'll drive two-thirds of our planned growth. We have a strong foundation for such growth, given that over 80% of our card receivables are under contract at least until 2029. Our success in accelerating balance growth for partners also translates into significant loyalty, with a historical partnership renewal rate of around 90%. In 2024, notable renewals included Hawaiian and RCI, and at the start of 2025, we have also renewed our partnership with Wyndham. In addition to being a long-standing top five partner for us, Wyndham is also a long-term Investment Banking client. This provides a good demonstration of how collaboration across the Barclays Group can drive successful outcomes. While organic growth is at the heart of the plan, opportunities for inorganic growth in the market are also significant. For instance, 15 relevant deals in billions of dollars of balances were tendered annually on average in the market during the past five years. We remain confident in our ability to win new partners, given the strength of our offering and our ability to increase customer engagement and balances, and this was evidenced by recent wins, including Breeze in 2023 and General Motors in 2024. The General Motors card portfolio, which we will onboard in the third quarter of 2025, will offset about a quarter of the balances we expect to lose from American Airlines. Overall, we remain focused on achieving scale beyond 2026 and driving improved efficiency to deliver mid-teens RoTE for this business. Turning now to the Investment Bank. Last year, we shared our plan to increase returns in the Investment Bank to greater than 12% by 2026, in line with our group target. While competitive and industry dynamics are creating opportunities and challenges for individual businesses, our overall progress is as expected, and we continue to run our own race. Our objective is to generate higher and more stable income and returns by improving RWA productivity and rebalancing resources in the business while only modestly increasing costs. We delivered 7% year-over-year income growth in 2024, broadly on track with our high single-digit annualized growth target from 2023 to 2026, and as a reminder, more than half of our planned growth in the Investment Bank comes from initiatives which we control, with the remainder coming from growth in the industry wallet, so we expect these initiatives to add GBP 1.8 billion to our income by 2026, and in the first year of our plan, we achieved around a third of this planned improvement. In Investment Banking, we have increased share across most products. This included strong performance in ECM, where we increased fee share by about 100 basis points, and in leverage finance, where we increased share by 70 basis points, and across the three focus businesses and markets, we've made progress within equity derivatives and securitized products. While progress in European rates has been slower, we saw a recovery in the fourth quarter. Across our markets business, we now rank top five with 56 of our top 100 clients, up seven from a year ago and versus our target of 70 by the end of 2026. Our capital productivity has also improved, with income to RWAs increasing by 30 basis points year-on-year to 5.8%. We achieved positive jaws with income up 7% from 2023 versus a four-year 4% increase in costs. This enabled a year-on-year improvement in our cost income ratio to 67%. We are focused on making further progress on this cost income ratio in 2025 towards delivery of our high 50s target for 2026 full year. I'd like to highlight two areas of progress during the past year that helped to position the Investment Bank to perform in a range of scenarios. First, as Anna said, we continue to prioritize growth in stable income during 2024, particularly within financing. Growing financing income enhances the durability of our returns, and we now have financing relationships with 98 of our top 100 clients. Second, our banking fee share has increased by 30 basis points year-on-year to 3.3%, with the wallet also higher. And we remain particularly well positioned to benefit from stronger activity in the U.S., where we generate 68% of our total banking fees. At the same time, our market share in Global Markets declined 20 basis points in the year, reflecting lower share in fixed income in the larger of our markets businesses. So, while we are pleased with our direction of travel, we recognize that there's further work to do to deliver the full extent of our ambition. Let me now hand over to Anna for the final installment of today's update. Thank you, Venkat. At our investor update last February, we outlined a plan to deliver ambitious financial targets and meaningfully higher shareholder distributions. We are confident that we can deliver consistent returns in a range of scenarios underpinning our ambition. I'll now go through what supports these targets. The diversification of our business model by income, by geography, helps support returns in a range of economic environments. This has contributed to more stable returns in the last four years. As Venkat mentioned, the external environment in 2024 was generally more supportive than we expected. In executing our plan, we remain focused on what we can control. Our plan continues to be based on realistic assumptions. These include four UK base rate cuts during 2025 and a bank rate of 3.5% by the end of 2026. We also assume a five-year swap rate of around 3.5% for the purpose of our structural hedge reinvestment, although I acknowledge that current market rates are higher. We are not relying on a recovery in the Investment Banking wallet to deliver our plan, with our assumptions unchanged from those we outlined last year. The next few slides describe how our drive towards higher and more predictable returns come together for our shareholders. Our 2026 targets are unchanged, including our North Star of a RoTE above 12%. Our foundation is strong, having delivered 10.5% last year, and we expect further improvement in 2025 to around 11%. Crucially, we expect income growth to provide a RoTE tailwind in 2025, with NII accounting for more than half of this. We will maintain cost discipline as we grow. We expect our cost income ratio to fall in 2025, and we expect further cost efficiency savings and income momentum into 2026. This combination will support a RoTE of more than 12%. I'll now explain the drivers of our income and costs in turn. We continue to target around GBP 30 billion of income in 2026. This means a further GBP 3 billion of income growth over the next two years, having delivered GBP 1.4 billion in 2024. The drivers of our growth are within our control. First, the strong NII tailwind. For 2025, we expect a GBP 0.9 billion increase in group NII, of which GBP 0.8 billion is from Barclays UK. Our confidence in delivering this reflects the predictable tailwind from the structural hedge underpinned by realistic assumptions about rates and reinvestment yields, and this tailwind lasts beyond 2025, with the structural hedge driving around half of our expected increase in total group income over the next two years. In addition, we expect balance sheet and earnings momentum from the deployment of RWAs in our three high-returning UK businesses. This momentum was apparent in Q4, and we expect it to continue and to be visible in our 2025 performance. Second, non-NII mainly coming from the Investment Bank. We expect to deliver a high single-digit CAGR income growth over the life of our three-year plan and are broadly on track, having delivered 7% in 2024. Overall year-on-year growth of GBP 0.8 billion in the IB included GBP 0.2 billion from wallet growth. Importantly, the biggest share of this increase of 0.6 came from the execution of our management initiatives, or a third of the GBP 1.8 billion total we expect by 2026. This leaves a further GBP 1.2 billion of growth from management actions over the next two years. As was the case last year, we are not relying on wallet growth to meet our target. In fact, our assumptions are unchanged from a year ago, with a lower banking wallet in both 2025 and 2026 versus 2024, and should the recovery continue, our business is strongly positioned to participate in a rebound in deal activity, particularly in the U.S., where we generate around two-thirds of our banking fees. Moving on to costs. Managing costs is at the heart of what we can control. We showed this in 2024, achieving a 62% cost-to-income ratio. This improvement versus 2023 was supported by the delivery of GBP 1 billion of gross efficiency savings in the year. These savings reflected targeted actions in respect to people, property, and infrastructure. For example, in the past year, we decommissioned around 200 legacy applications as part of our plan to exit between 450 and 500 by 2026. We increased our digitally active customers in Barclays UK by 700,000 and rationalized our branch network by more than 25%, and in markets, our actions during the last two years have driven a 20% reduction in the number of trade capture and risk pricing systems supporting our efficiency and operational resilience. Looking forward, there are three drivers of cost change in 2025 and 2026. First, efficiency savings. We expect a further GBP 1 billion in gross efficiency savings split broadly evenly across the next two years. Around one-third of these savings come from plans to simplify customer journeys, with the rest driven by actions to streamline businesses, including the optimization of people and technology. Second, inflation, which we expect to be more meaningful in 2025 versus 2026. This is because inflation impacts us on a lagged basis. So 2025 reflects some of the headline inflation pressure we've observed recently. It also includes a GBP 50 million increase in National Insurance contributions following the UK Budget. And third, greater investment in our highest returning businesses in 2025. Specifically, I would call out the annualization of investment costs, which have increased during 2024, and additional Tesco Bank costs, including integration. In 2025, incremental investment and inflation are expected to exceed efficiency savings, resulting in an increase in our costs. In 2026, we expect costs to be broadly stable, if not down a little year-on-year, as incremental investment and inflation moderate and are offset by efficiency savings. Given this cost profile and planned income growth, we expect our cost-to-income ratio to fall by 1% in 2025 to circa 61% and to fall more significantly to a high 50s in 2026. Given our 2026 income target of GBP 30 billion, our high 50s cost-to-income target would be consistent with around GBP 17 billion of costs. We will drive further efficiency beyond that in each of our businesses and for the group as a whole. Barclays UK and Investment Bank represent some 70% of our planned cost efficiency savings. Work to reduce duplicate systems and processes for Tesco Bank should reduce the cost run rate from circa GBP 30 million per month currently as synergies are realized. Across Barclays UK, we remain focused on streamlining and digitizing the business to improve our efficiency. In the Investment Bank, we invested significantly between 2021 and 2023 to sustain and grow future income in markets that investment centered around technology, while the focus in Investment Banking was more on people. We expect these actions to result in greater productivity and a high 50s cost-income ratio in the Investment Bank by 2026, with further efficiencies expected beyond. Put differently, 2026 does not represent the full extent of our ambition. Turning now to capital and capital generation. As we grow returns in line with our plan, we expect to generate around 170 basis points of capital during 2025, rising to more than 200 basis points in 2026. We have a clear hierarchy for capital allocation in order of priority. First, to hold a prudent level of capital with an expectation that we will continue to operate towards the upper half of our 13%-14% CET1 target range, taking into account regulatory requirements. By doing this, we deliver for our investors, customers, clients, and colleagues, regardless of the environment. Second, to distribute capital to our shareholders. And third, to invest selectively in our highest returning divisions, resulting in a more profitable RWA mix and a better bank for all our stakeholders. We set a high bar for investment returns, given the importance we place on shareholder distributions overall. We announced GBP 3 billion of capital distributions in respect of FY24. These distributions represent an important step in our target to return at least GBP 10 billion to shareholders during the life of our plan. We expect a progressive increase in our total payout during 2025. As a reminder, we plan to keep the total dividend broadly stable at GBP 1.2 billion per year, growing our dividend per share progressively through lower share count. Bringing this together, we are reiterating our group targets for 2026 and are providing additional guidance for 2025. This includes 2025 RoTE guidance of circa 11% and a progressive increase in our total payout versus GBP 3 billion per year in the past two years. The expected increase in RoTE will be supported by group NII growth to around GBP 12.2 billion, including an increase in Barclays UK to around GBP 7.4 billion. We expect to improve the group cost income ratio to circa 61%. Our progress during 2024 provides a solid foundation for these milestones. We continue to deliver against our plan to achieve a RoTE greater than 12% by focusing on structural actions that are within our control to improve income and efficiency. Over to Venkat for final remarks. Thanks again, Anna. So one year into the three-year plan, we are pleased with our progress, but we recognize that there's still work to be done to deliver our 2026 targets. And we're working hard to deliver sustainable operational and financial improvement across our businesses. And this, in turn, we expect will drive higher group returns and shareholder distributions. I'll now open to questions and answers. Please limit yourself to two questions per person so that we can get around as many of you as possible. I will begin Alvaro with you. Thank you, Alvaro Serrano from Morgan Stanley. Two questions, please. One on your income assumptions. I've noted that you expect the size of the wallet to come down, but I'll focus on BUK because I guess we'll have a view on that. On BUK, the guidance for 2025 looks on my numbers for an underlying 2% growth versus the run rate in Q4, which sounds quite conservative given the volume growth and given the hedge contribution should be increasing. Are you just being conservative, or are we missing any moving parts? I I don't know. More competition in asset product like mortgages. Is Is there anything we're missing there? We've just been out of conservatism. And the second question on capital, if we take out, obviously, the buyback and German cards, it will come down, and you want to operate at the higher end of the 13%-14%. Do you have any sort of RWA efficiency measures that you can call out? And I'm thinking, obviously, that there's been a Twitter sale. It sounds like a couple of blocks there, and these are very high-risk-weighted sort of kind of positions over 50%, if memory serves me right. Will that have a significant impact that will help you sort of reallocate the capital to growth areas? Thank you. Thank you, Alvaro. I'll take both of those. Let me start with a question that you didn't ask, but you sort of asked, which was about the banking wallet. I want to be really clear here. We're assuming, or we have an assumption, that the banking wallet remains as we had it last year. You shouldn't take from that that if the opportunities are greater than the market, that we would seek to monetize those, as we have done in Q4 and indeed all the way through 2024. I just call out that distinction. Relating to Barclays UK, we're guiding to NII next year or in 2025 of GBP 7.4 billion. As I think about that number, I reflect back on 2024. And actually, what we've seen in successive quarters is strong NII growth. And we expect that to continue in 2025 and into 2026. BUK NII is not near its peak. As I take the 7.4, I think of it in a number of building blocks. So the first is take the Q4 run rate, ex Tesco, multiply that by four. Then add on GBP 400 million for Tesco. Add on the impact of maturing structural hedge this year. Now, we are assuming a reinvestment rate of 3.5% in that calculation. And then take off the impact of four base rate reductions in the year. As I put those building blocks together, you will get to around GBP 7.4 billion. In addition to that, there's two further things for you to consider. The first, as you note, we have got good momentum in the business, and you can see that in Q4. You can see that in cards and in mortgages. We expect that to continue. In our calculation, what we're assuming here is that there is some offset in margin. I wouldn't call anything out in particular. I would just say, particularly in liability margins, we expect a continuation of migration. Nothing more than we've seen, so I'm not expecting it to accelerate. But I'm just assuming that those two things are somewhat offsetting within the year. You may have different expectations for those macro assumptions or indeed the swap rate, but we're trying to root this plan within factors that we can control, and we believe that we've made realistic assumptions that underpin that number. But I just highlight we're expecting continued income momentum in BUK into 2025 and beyond. In terms of your capital number, I mean, I'm not going to speak about any client positions, as you would expect. Our focus here is on executing the plan as it is elsewhere. We'd expect the Investment Bank to operate within the framework we've given it for RWAs. So you should expect those RWAs to be broadly flat. The thing that you didn't call out, actually, was organic capital generation. That's what we're confident in here. So throughout Q1, remember, Q1 is a seasonally strong quarter for us. We deploy RWAs into the business, but seasonally, it is very strong for us in terms of Investment Banking and markets activity. And as we've called out in the presentation, our expectation is that organic capital generation will continue to develop both in 2025 and in 2026. The kind of capital range that we've talked about today is no different from where you've seen us operate, actually, over the last two to three years. So I'll come to you in a second, Perlie, but just if I may emphasize one thing, which is behind the spirit of what we did last year and what we're doing this year, is given your slides, we've given you an operational data pack. We've been very clear with our assumptions. And I think not just on NII, but other aspects, I think that's our approach, which is to tell you what we think structurally we're trying to achieve, our cyclical assumptions or our macro assumptions, and allow you, therefore, to impose your view, if you'd like. Perlie? Hello. Thank you, Venkat. Thank you, Anna, for taking my question. So I guess the first one is on 2026 targets. I guess the share price reaction this morning maybe reflects the fact that people were expecting a little bit more. And as you noted, well, the environment is probably better than what you were sitting on a year ago when you put out the targets for the first time across every metric you could think of, pretty much. So I guess why did you not upgrade 26 targets a bit more? I mean, I know it's greater than 12%, but would you, for example, invite us to put more focus on the greater than, for example? And any color you could give on that would be really helpful. Just if you were to come up with a plan today, wouldn't you be more optimistic than you were a year ago? I guess that's the first question. The second question is on US cards, just the direction of the business as the AA book phases out. So do you still see it as a growth business? Because a few years ago, that was an area of growth that we all looked at. And then I guess more operationally, what does the exit of AA mean? So what I'm thinking is that, well, maybe receivables growth will be a bit slower in the next couple of years as the book comes to an end. And then as you take on new books, well, there will be more J-curve impact and more Day 1 impairments, etc. So how is that going to impact the RoTE? Because I note that you haven't changed the guidance on that either. I'll let Anna take the first part, and then I'll come in for the second part. Yeah, sure. So our focus is management, Perlie. What you should expect us to do is to execute the operational plan and deliver the financials without surprises. That is our objective. And so our focus is on executing the plan that we've given you. And I would emphasize the greater than 12 and the at least 10 billion. But our primary focus really is on executing that plan. We're pleased with the progress that we've made in 2024. We've hit all of the targets and guidance that we gave you, and we feel we've set the business up really well for momentum in 2025 and 2026. And I just call out that difference that I highlighted before. We are planning on realistic assumptions because we want as much of this plan within our control as is possible. However, if the market environment allows, whether that be interest rates, swap rates, or the banking wallet, you should expect us to monetize that opportunity. Venkat? Yeah, look, I'll emphasize that as well, which is that it's a realistic plan. It's a confident plan. It's a confident plan which is based on strong structural progress across the things which we can control, and then taking advantage of cyclical opportunities, as we did last year, and we expect to as they come up. On the US cards business, we remain confident for a couple of reasons. First of all, we gave you the statistic of the number of accounts and the volume of receivables that come up for bid. Second, which is $40 billion in this thing, second is that we have a locked up around 90% of our 85% of our net receivables outside of American through to 2029. Third, we have a retention rate of 90% renewal rate. We operate in a very specialized place with mid-sized companies for whom we have a particular skill at managing their partnership portfolio and able to grow their balances and increase customer engagement. And so just like General Motors came in this year, we will continue to look for these opportunities. I'm fairly confident we'll land them because when we participate in these, we know what we provide very valuably into the market. And then on the operational side, we will continue to come back to your point on J-curve. First of all, if a lot of the book, 85% of the book, is locked through 2029, yeah, there will be a J-curve for new things. But as a proportion of the business, it's smaller. Would you add anything? Yes, I'll just reflect back on the plan that we set out last year. It's a plan of many parts. It's an executional plan that actually goes all the way through the P&L and the balance sheet. Clearly, revenue growth is important, but it's not the only thing that we're working on to improve the RoTE of the business. So we're working very hard on mitigating the impacts of regulatory headwinds. So you saw that transaction in Q1 of this year. We're working very hard in terms of the cost efficiency of this business. The cost income ratio is now below 50% in this business. It's fallen for the last consecutive four years. And remember, we're targeting to get it to mid-40s%. So there's a big digitization push in this business. The third thing is we continue to work on the net interest margin of the business. We spoke again about that last year in that there are two parts. The first was repricing. We completed that repricing in 2024, and you're going to see it start to accumulate in the NIM over time. And the second thing is really reducing our funding costs by driving up the proportion of retail deposits. Again, I spoke about that in my prepared remarks. So Venkat's absolutely right. There are opportunities here to grow volume, but our RoTE delivery is volume, capital efficiency, cost efficiency, and NIM. Okay. Go ahead, please. Ben Thomas from RBC? Yeah. Ben Thomas from RBC. Thanks for taking my questions. There's been a lot of discussion over the last month around the government going softer on regulation. For example, changes in LTV restrictions. Do any of the changes that are being put forward actually have the potential to be material tailwinds? And how useful would it be to Barclays if there was a leveling of the playing field on ring fencing so you could use the first GBP 35 billion of your deposits to fund other parts of the group? And I guess tied to this, does the messaging around risk attitude for M&A in the U.K. have the potential to cause you to rethink your low tolerance to material transactions? Yeah. Thank you. Good question to both. So look, I think we are at the early stages of a regulatory debate in the U.K., which go both to what might happen on prudential regulation as well as consumer regulation. We do think that, obviously, regulation is very important, and it's important to the City of London. We also think it's important to have a balanced regulatory outlook and one that is commensurate across the globe. In the US, you're seeing a rethinking on Basel, on the basis of Basel, as well as stress testing. The PRA has postponed its own decisions till 2027. We've always advocated for consistency in total capital requirements. That means base capital in Basel as well as stress testing. That's what we'd like to see. But it's too soon for me to say one way or the other what the results are going to be. You've seen the plan that we've given you with the assumptions we have. On the consumer side, obviously, there has been volatility that's come in because of impact of regulations, impact of court cases, worries about retrospective application of these things. You've seen it in the charges that people have taken, and we took a provision on motor finance. What I'm very happy about on that is that we were small in the business, and we exited the business in 2019. And so you've got to risk manage the situation. You should always expect us to do that. And then as far as M&A, look, this is an organic plan. And what you're seeing us do is to present what we aim to do for this bank in an organic way. And that is what we intend to be absolutely focused on. I might just add on because I think you asked about mortgages also, Ben. There are three things, I think, being talked about. The first is some reduction in the restrictions around loan to income and also sort of affordability stress testing. I think our perception would be the second is probably more meaningful in the current environment, just because of the interest rate environment. That affordability test is probably the one that restrains the market a little bit more. And then the third thing is around potentially reducing RWA weightings in higher loan-to-value mortgages. We're an IRB bank, so any change to the standardized rules wouldn't impact Barclays. They would impact Kensington, but not the Barclays lending, not the larger part of the group. Yeah, Andy? Morning. If I could just start with costs. Thank you for slide 47. I'm just going to rephrase the slide, I guess, essentially. GBP 16.7 billion of costs in 2024. If we're thinking about this in absolute cost terms rather than cost income, given that you've got the UK Tesco double run, investment in corporate and PBWM, you've got FX translation. Presumably, what you're essentially saying is you're expecting the cost-based growth to in excess of GBP 17 billion in 2025 before then fading back to around GBP 17 billion in 2026. But just wanted to make sure that understanding was correct, and then the second question on the US Consumer Bank, you've specifically drawn out on slide 39 that there is going to be a gain on the sale of the AA portfolio, and that seems to be included within the targets, so does that mean that come 2027, the RoTE fades again before it then recovers thereafter within that division? Go ahead. Yeah, I'll go ahead. So let's just look at slide 47, please. The answer is yes. So we're expecting our costs to go up in 2025 because of the annualization of Tesco, because of the integration costs of Tesco, and because of those inflation headwinds that I talked about in my prepared remarks. But underneath all of this, you've got a continued focus in gross efficiency. So that's going to be continuing. In 2025, inflation and investment outweigh the efficiency. In 2026, it's the other way around. So actually, I'm expecting costs to go above GBP 17 billion. Actually, I think consensus is not in a bad place. And then drop back. So that's my expectation. In terms of US Consumer Bank, in 2026, you're going to have those two offsetting effects. As Venkat said, you're going to have a gain on sale, and you're going to have a more immediate impact from loss of volume. I'm not going to guide you to a 2027 RoTE at this point. I would just make a few points. Firstly, we're confident in our ability to regain volume, both organically and inorganically. Secondly, I just remind you of what Venkat said in his remarks where he talked about American Airlines was an incredibly important partner for us, but in terms of risk-adjusted returns, it's a lower part of our portfolio, and we will continue to really focus on the things that I talked about in terms of cost efficiency, in terms of capital efficiency, in terms of NIM, so let me give you an example on cost efficiency, so the digitization, if you like, of U.S. cards, so as customers interact with us in a retail business, clearly, we want a large portion of that to be digital. In U.S. cards, that's low 90s. If I compare that to either BUK or indeed the German cards business that we've just sold, that was high 90s. So we do feel we've got good opportunities here to continue to streamline the business. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Jason Napier from UBS. Two questions on firstly on cards and then secondly on the Tesco Bank acquisition. There's a lot of focus on cards and whether Barclays is the right owner for the asset given the differential in capital loading that you are going to be having at some point. So one of the benefits is that the IB carries less capital because of the stress losses that the card business helps protect the unit from. Can you give us some concrete sense as to how much of a saving that is? I think it's a really important part of the debate. Helped not only by what it means for you, but also by the excitement about easier stress tests in the U.S. at some point. We'll see how that goes. Secondly, on Tesco Bank, it came in at about a 90% indicator cost income ratio. And it looks like from slide 47, if I'm reading it correctly, it doesn't actually contribute to a lower cost income ratio to the end of 2026. Is that right, or is that part of the efficiency gains? And maybe you could just talk about how much pre-provision profit you think it can make. There was a deployment of capital. It felt like a cost takeout story in the beginning. It's no longer that. If you could just talk about how much profit you think it might generate once you're done. Thank you. I'll take the first one. Let Anna take the second one. I think the easiest way for you to see it, obviously, it's under current rules, is to look at the CCAR results of the top banks in the U.S. and look both at our initial level of capital, which we keep, and look at the drawdown and compare it to banks who don't have that kind of a credit card or a retail consumer portfolio in the mix. Now, scenarios vary from year-to-year and so on, so you have to look at it for a few years, but you will get a sense of the benefit. I think it is an important regulatory benefit for us to have it in the stress test. It's under current rules. Right? Anna. Thanks, Jason. I'll take the second one. You're right. Tesco's got a high cost income ratio, around 90%. And I think that reflects in and of itself its lack of scale as a standalone business. So I think our view is as follows. It actually still is a cost takeout story, but this is a complex integration. It's not like a portfolio in asset runoff. It's a growing business, an active business, and credit cards have a daily and digital interaction with the customers. So actually, it's quite a complex piece of work. But we are confident that we can do it, and we're confident that we can execute it well. But it doesn't happen as quickly as if, for example, we bought a mortgage portfolio. And that's really what you're seeing here. Our expectation that this is RoTE accretive to BUK and indeed the group hasn't changed. Typically, I would expect the cost income ratio of an unsecured business to be relatively low, certainly lower than BUK as a whole, and if you want a good indication, look at where we're trying to get the USCB business to, so hopefully, that gives you some indication, but you're going to see an increase in 2025, both from the operational cost, if you like, the dual running, some investment in integration. You'll start to see some efficiencies flow through in 2026, but as Venkat said, the real scaling and the real unlocking of that value will come somewhat beyond 2026, but that's included in all of the targets that we have given you for BUK and for the group. Thanks. Yeah, Kian. Yeah, two questions. The first one is regarding the fixed income business. You discussed around the market share gains in equities. I just want to understand a little bit. Were you on the market share gains on fixed income? If you can talk a little bit about what has to happen for that to come through. And then secondly, just getting back to Tesco Bank, I mean, for me, what's more interesting is actually the customers that you gain. So can you talk a little bit about the 3 million, roughly, active customers in terms of overlap, but also the 20 million Clubcard customers? What is really the opportunity in terms of data that you're getting in the long term? Yeah. Let me take the first one, and Anna can take the second one. So within fixed income, we've had two focus areas. One was securitized products. The other was European rates. And I think it's fair to say securitized products did well through the year. Credit, which has been a historical great strength of ours, was a smaller part of the overall wallet last year as spreads remained both subdued and tight. And then the third thing is that European rates started picking up only later in the year, as did macro overall. So when we look and we give you the market share, there are two ways we look at it. One is the market share number, which we give, which is we take us and the top nine other banks, 10 banks total, and look at what our proportion was. And that's always a little bit of noise in it because we are not in commodities. That's part of the number. There are certain regional exposures we don't have, especially in Asia. But the other number, which we look at, is our penetration of our top 100 clients. So we are a number six markets business, a number six Investment Bank. So we rank in that top 100, how many of them are we number five with? Right? So one step higher. And in that number, which we began at 49 in 2023 and want to be at 70 by 2026, we've moved from 49 to 56. So I take comfort from looking at that data with those clients in the things we do. But of course, I want to see a broader improvement in fixed income. I'm confident, as I said earlier, because I think this is our strength. And we have strong structural presence, and cyclicality when it comes into play to our strengths will help us. On Tesco, I think we'd agree with you. It's an exciting opportunity, and I think that comes in a number of parts. When we look at the customers, obviously, with 20 million Clubcard customers, that's broadly the scale that we have in our U.K. retail bank. It's inevitable, given the population of the U.K., that there will be some overlap between them. That said, we see the opportunity to build and grow this business, and what's interesting here is our ability to use more than one brand in these markets that we haven't previously done to target different demographics and launch different products, so we're very thoughtful of that, but I'd encourage you to think about Tesco a bit more holistically than just those customers and what we can do with them because it speaks to a much bigger part of the BUK strategy, which is one which is more multi-brand, more partnership-led. So we talked when we bought Tesco about leveraging the capability that we have from US cards and bringing it to the UK. You're now seeing that both in terms of Avios and Tesco and Amazon. So more of a partnership focus in the UK that really helps us grow and diversify that cards business, but also more broadly across the bank. We've always operated as a single brand. Now we've got Kensington. Now we've got Tesco, et cetera, et cetera. So it's much more holistic. The other thing I would say is that in buying Tesco, we've actually acquired some very good capability that we can take back into the core BUK business. And one of the things I'd really call out there is an open market loans capability that we didn't really have. And actually, Tesco does extremely well. So there are multiple points of leverage here. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Good morning, both. It's Jonathan Pierce from Jefferies. Can I ask two questions, maybe one for each of you? Anna, the base rate sensitivity table on slide 71 is helpful. Thank you for splitting out the impact of base rate cuts or moves in the curve more generally, sorry, into swaps and managed margin. The managed margin piece, though, is extremely small. I mean, I think we could work that out from the previous disclosure. Year one at GBP 30 million, I'm assuming that's GBP 20 million of gapping negative. But then we moved to GBP 10 million pound as a sort of ongoing hit from a 25 basis point rate cut. Why is it so small? And maybe you could tell us what the pass-through assumption is behind that 10 million. That would be question one. Question two, a slightly longer-term one for Venkat. Where do you see the return on tangible equity going in this business in the medium term? I note in the report and accounts today that the second year on the trot, we've got a 14% RoTE target to hit the top end of your LTIP awards. That's now average across 2026, 2027. Is that where you sort of see this business potentially going in the medium term? And sorry, a part two to question two. The dividend, your dividend's been sub 10p for nearly two decades now. The payout ratio on your targets next year is going to be sub 20%. Are we looking at a dramatic increase in the dividend payout ratio into 2027, please? Thank you. You want to take the first and the third, and I'll come back in the middle. Okay. Why not? Okay. Can we go to slide 71, please? Okay. So, just for those of you who haven't got that far on the pack, we've split out, and I hope it is helpful, the impact of a 25 basis point parallel shift in the curve between two impacts. The top is the swap rates. For that, I think the impact in structural hedge; that's why it builds over many years. Then the bottom is the base rates. And there what you have is two impacts. In year one, you have a timing impact. Then on a longer-term basis, you have a pass-through impact, which is what Jonathan's asking about. The reason that the numbers on the bottom bit are so small is because of the proportion that we hedge. And actually, if you compare this version to the version that we had earlier in the year, you'll see that our sensitivity has increased. And the reason it's increased is obviously because we've reduced the scale of the hedge as the year has progressed. So that is increasing our absolute sensitivity, but we think that we are still relatively insensitive just because of the proportion that we hedge. Now, what we don't call out is a pass-through assumption, but I would guide you that by using this assumption and by using the split that we've given you on BUK deposits, you could probably come up with a reasonable approximation. Venkat? Dividend? Yep. No, you go next. I'll go after dividend. Okay. I'll go next. go next. Fine. All right. Okay. So first of all, I think, as we've said, 2026 is not an endpoint. It's sort of a waypoint on the journey. So when you look at the business beyond 2026, what I would hope is that if we've got the lower-returning businesses, such as the Investment Bank and the US cards business, to at 12%, and we maintain the higher-return businesses at their roughly 20%-ish range for Barclays UK and the Corporate Banks, a little less private banking, both a little more, and we continue to grow them, that proportionate mix would have a play into ultimately what the RoTE of the business should be, which I would hope is higher, not just because it would allow me to get more of my compensation plan, as you mentioned, but because I think that takes advantage of the full potential of the business. It's a calculation which we will have to come back to because right now we're focused on 2026. Right? But I do think, and I would hope that what we are building is a bank that's much more strongly performing well beyond 2026, that this is not a limit of our ambition. Our ambition grows for what we achieve for ourselves, for our customers, and for you, our shareholders. So let me take the third point. I think I'm going to start by just reiterating what Venkat said at the beginning, which is how important we realize shareholder return is. And you should just reflect on our capital priorities, which are regulation first, distribution second, investment in our businesses third. The way we think about it and the conversations that we've certainly had with our shareholders are really about total return, and that's our current focus. We're pleased to see that total return go up by 5% year-on-year. As you can imagine, we do have conversations with our investors about this, and we're committed to the greater than 10. But at this point in time, it feels like the right formulation. Yeah, in the center. Good morning. It's Chris Cant from Autonomous. Thanks for taking my questions. I had a couple on RWAs, please, and then one on Head Office. So on slide 45, you present your RoTE bridge, and you gave us the similar slide last year. You've got a 1.3% headwind in there over the two-year period from RWA growth, but obviously, some of the regulatory impacts have been pushed back. Your American Airlines card book is coming out, and essentially, I think you're probably going to undershoot your RWA growth target for US cards. Why hasn't that RWA headwind come down relative to where you were last year? So in the equivalent bridge 24 to 26 a year ago, you said greater than 1% headwind from RWAs. Now you're saying less than I think it's less than 1.3% if I add those together. It seems to have gone up despite the fact the RWA growth outlook looks better. What's going on there? Are we missing something? Because the reg headwinds have been pushed further into the future. It's now a 1.3% reduction here from RWAs in the RoTE bridge, and it was greater than 1% a year ago. It looks like it's got worse despite the fact the RWA growth should be less. If you could speak to that and sort of related on the deregulatory point, FRTB, I don't think you've ever given us a number. A lot of your wholesale banking peers in Europe do give us a number now. Obviously, that's an area that may never happen. So if you could give us a sense of that, that would be helpful to understand the RWA trajectory. And then the general one is head office. It's been incredibly difficult to model because there's been so much going on. It feels like it's a bit cleaner this year. I think it's a big driver of the range we see in your consensus. Could you give us an indication of what you think that looks like? And I completely appreciate it's always a mess because there's always odds and sods in there. But putting those to one side, what do you think sort of underlying head office income and costs are to help us corral consensus onto something more sensible? Thank you. Shall I do FRTB and you do the rest? Okay. But you can start. Okay. So on your RWA points, our expectation is no different, really, around RWAs. There's a timing point clearly in terms of the timing of Basel. But this chart is based on our plans to deploy 30 billion of RWAs in the UK and hold the Investment Bank flat. So I think if there are more technical questions, we can come back to you on it, and I'll ask Marina to pick up after the event. Venkat, FRTB? Yeah. Look, you're right that there are some people who have given it. We are looking at, A, the UK implementation, what we think we have already done in market risk capital calculations. And so we don't have the specific information right now to be able to make a judgment. But we think, as we've said, for 2024 to 2026, overall, we're keeping Investment Banking RWAs flat. In that, we said last year that there would be an absorption of about 15-16 billion GBP of RWAs that came from a variety of things, including FRTB. Right? We are not changing from that view. I think it's gone off. I was back. In terms of the 3-10 billion range on Basel 3.1, is that 7 FRTB? Is a big chunk of that variance FRTB, or is that residual uncertainty? Because I would have thought you've now got final rules in the U.K. So what drives the range? So you've got final rules in the U.K. You don't have a date yet, of course. But there's a little bit of modeling uncertainty and implementation on the portfolio. So I wouldn't say all of it is FRTB. Yeah. Don't assume that the 7 billion is FRTB in or out variance. As Venkat said, it's much more reflective of we continue to refine our modeling, Chris, so at this point in time, we're reacting to the rules that we have and expect to implement them in full, and the 3-10 reflects that. Just coming back to head office, so I recognize the fact it's been very difficult to interpret and model as we've gone through 2024. I mean, you've had German cards coming out, well, going in and then coming out, same with Italian mortgages, so it has been very complex. I appreciate that. I won't give you a number for going forward, but let me tell you how I think about it. There's going to be a few things which will be stable, enduring, evergreen, at least for the foreseeable future. So within there, you've got the costs that truly relate to the group, and you've got some costs that relate to some legacy Treasury funding. For the moment, we also have our merchant acquiring business in there. Those three things are going to be relatively stable throughout the period. Then there are things in there which are inherently more volatile, and in part, that's why they're there. So the first of those is hedge accounting. So that's essentially where we're offsetting the fair value of a hedged item with the fair value of the hedge itself. Sometimes they don't entirely offset, and where there's leakage, it goes to P&L. Actually, that was quite significant in Q4, and it probably explains the income swing between Q3 and Q4. It's broadly neutral over time. It's just timing, but it can be volatile. The second thing that you do see in there is where we've got any marks on our principal investments. That tends to be a bit smaller. And then the third thing in there will be if we are carrying any litigation or conduct that relates to a business that we are no longer active in. So that's why motor finance is in there. So as this settles down, Chris, we'll talk to you more about it. But at the moment, that's the sort of broad guidance I would give you. Any more? Yeah. Hello. It's Elise from KBW. Thank you for taking my questions. I've got two, both on IB numbers, if that's okay. So first is risk, which the RWA says, which decreased to 56% of the group from 58%. And that includes Tesco acquisition. So in terms of the target, how should we think about the evolution to 50% by the end of 2026? What exactly is the step down here? And then just in terms of modeling, is the 199 billion the new level of numbers we should be using going forward, or are we expecting it back to, say, 2023 level, which is 197 billion? That's my first question, just with two parts. And second is on RoTE. So to hit the RoTE expectation, which is in line with the group, more than 12%, it needs to improve earnings by about 23% without more capital. I'm just wondering how exactly are you going to achieve that? I know, Anna, you mentioned more stabilized revenue and disciplined costs, but are there any other areas that you're focused on or we should be aware of? Thank you. Do you want to take the first one? I'll take the second one. Yeah. And I can add to the second one if you wish. Go ahead. So on the capital number, so getting to 50% is as we set out last year, Elise. So we expect the IB to be broadly stable. I would say FX is going to move that around, as you've seen from Q2 to Q3 to Q4, but broadly stable around that 200 billion mark. Remember that about 50%-60% of our IB revenues are in US dollars. So FX does make that number move around. But just to remind you, you then got earnings and RWAs moving together. So even though those RWAs are going up and down with FX, I wouldn't expect that to have an impact on capital generation. So that would be the first piece. In terms of the overall sort of trajectory to 50%, it's holding that piece stable and continuing to grow in those three focus UK businesses. I mean, you've seen us come out of 2024 with some degree of acceleration. You should expect that to accelerate over the period. So you might see slightly more in 2026 than you see in 2025. But we'll report to you as we have done along the way with the equivalent of slide 14 so you can see that progression. Why don't I start with some math, and then I'll hand over to Venkat. Just in terms of the IB RoTE, I mean, simplistically, it's gone from 7% to 8.5%. So it's gone up by 1.5%. We recognize the 3.5% at least to go. So we're very conscious of that. That comes in a number of parts. The first is clearly revenue. Venkat talked about having delivered GBP 0.6 billion of our GBP 1.8 billion around our focus businesses. Revenue growth is important here, and we're very focused on the things that we can control and those areas of focus, not only within markets, but the IB. The second is revenue stability. The reason this is important is we want an IB here which can deliver in lots of different environments. We think of financing, and we think of the CB as ballast within that Investment Banking revenue. That's also important. If you take those two together, the third thing that's important is capital discipline. For the third year in a row, we've got broadly flat RWAs in the IB. We're generating revenue consistently. We're holding that capital flat consistently, and that's why the revenue over RWAs has gone up. And then the thing that is most in our control, and I'm talking about it last, but it's not least, is costs and cost efficiency. So the IB CIR is down by 3 percentage points year-on-year. It's delivered positive jaws in three quarters out of the last four. It needs to continue to do so. It's not going to do so every quarter, but you'd expect it to do it more often than not because we want to get this business to a high 50s cost income ratio. But even then, even in 2026, it's not going to be top quartile. So it will have more opportunity in terms of efficiency from that point. Venkat? I cannot improve on that answer. I'll just say one thing, which is that I said last year that this is the hardest part of our journey, what we do in the Investment Bank. Because, as you said, what we are trying to do is increase revenue, reduce costs, improve capital efficiency while keeping capital roughly flat. Right? That we have done it in 2024, we are very pleased about, and it gives us the confidence to continue to do it. That confidence is what Anna stated in her numbers. I think that was it. Amit, right at the back. Oh, sorry, I didn't see you. Amit. Hi, thank you. It's Amit Goel here from Mediobanca. So two questions. One, again, just coming back to broader strategy. But I guess just thinking about the world as it is today versus how it was maybe 12 months ago when you were putting the plan together and the kind of opportunity set that you see. It looks like there's perhaps a bit more opportunity in the U.S., maybe regulations a bit slower, discussion about growth in the U.K. relative. So I appreciate your executing against the plan that you've laid out just around 12 months ago. But curious if you were to rethink about it or think about where you would position capital if you were looking at it today, if there are any changes or anything else you would consider or think about. And then secondly, maybe a bit more kind of detail, but I think on the RoTE the group delivered for the year this year, the 10.5%, I think Q3 that was kind of guided to. I think the environment was a bit better in Q4 from an FX and IB trading standpoint, maybe a slightly bigger gain on Tesco. So just curious if there are any other factors that worked slightly in the other way that you saw. Thank you. Let me cover the U.S. first, and then Anna can cover the second part on RoTE. You're right. There is a lot of opportunity potentially in the U.S. We certainly have it in trading, and we could have it in banking. We've had some through the last year, and it may continue. Two things. First of all, as we've said, we have a fairly big U.S. presence. The firm itself makes about 40% of its revenue in U.S. dollars. The Investment Banking side makes about two-thirds of its revenue, 68% in the U.S. We've got a huge presence there. There is enough willingness and capital availability and flexibility within the Investment Bank and for U.S. cards to be able to deploy it in those attractive opportunities. And in fact, if you take U.S. cards to begin with, we've already said that what American, the non-renewal from outside of American, what it does is that it gives us capital, which we look to deploy for higher risk-returning businesses and to add diversify our portfolio. A similar opportunity exists inside the Investment Bank, and you've seen it in the deals we've taken in the U.S., as well as the strength of our equities franchise, which is very heavily U.S.-based as well. So we'll deploy it, and we'll adjust. On your second question in terms of RoTE, as you would expect, we manage a number of puts and takes in the delivery of our financials. So you're right. There are a number of these things that were certainly better. I'd call out rates, obviously better than our assumptions. The Investment Banking wallet was better. We performed well in equities. Deposits stabilized faster. So all of those things gave us a tailwind. But we talked about some of the headwinds here too, some of which were quite evident in the fourth quarter. Venkat talked about FICC. We saw some improvement in Q4, but it's definitely been weaker in the year. And that's important because it's a big business for us. We also saw some unforeseen inflation, not just in the fourth quarter, but throughout the year. I'd call out the Bank of England levy in Q1. I'd call out motor finance in Q4. Of course, in the fourth quarter, as I said in my remarks, we actively, deliberately took some actions in Q4 to manage within the guidance that we'd given you to actually accelerate some of our efficiency plans to really secure those costs in the outer years. From our perspective, we're encouraged by what we delivered. We're managing actively within the plan to deliver it with no surprises. Thank you very much, everybody. We appreciate your time, your engagement, your questions, and we welcome this participation. Thank you again for joining us. I think there might still be coffee outside, and we'll come and see you outside. Thank you.
