    Investor Relations Barclays PLC Q1 2020 Results Analyst and Investor Conference Call Speech Jes Staley, Barclays Group Chief Executive Officer Tushar Morzaria, Barclays Group Finance Director Slide 2: Jes Staley, Barclays Group Chief Executive Officer Good morning everyone, and thank you for joining us today. First of all let me say that I hope you and your loved ones have been keeping safe and well. It feels like the last time we did one of these calls was a long time ago, and in a very different world. Obviously, an event like the COVID-19 pandemic changes priorities, and inevitably makes individuals, and companies like ours, focus on what’s really important right now. Slide 3: Barclays is committed to supporting customers, business and the economy through the COVID-19 pandemic For us, that means: running the bank safely and profitably; helping our customers and clients through the difficulties they face; supporting the UK economy, and the communities where we live and work; and taking care of our colleagues around the world. We’ve been able to do that because of the underlying strength of our business, and the resilience of our diversified model. And I’ve been especially proud of the way my colleagues across Barclays have risen to the challenges of this extraordinary time. Slide 4: Support for customers in the UK So I want to start today by taking a few minutes to set out how we’ve been responding to the crisis. Our business touches half the households in the UK. We know that some of our customers are facing very real and very daunting financial challenges, and this is a worrying time for the vast majority, regardless of their circumstances.
