 European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; political elections, including the impact of the UK, European and US elections in 2024; developments in the UK&#8217;s relationship with the European Union (EU); the risk of cyberattacks, information or security breaches, technology failures or operational disruptions and any subsequent impact on the Group&#8217;s reputation, business or operations; the Group&#8217;s ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions (including the acquisition of Tesco Bank completed in November 2024), disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these factors are beyond the Group&#8217;s control. As a result, the Group&#8217;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&#8217;s forward-looking statements. In setting its targets and outlook for the period 2024-2026, 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&#8217;s future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC&#8217;s filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, this Barclays PLC Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2024), which are available on the SEC&#8217;s website at www.sec.gov. Subject to Barclays PLC&#8217;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.
