Welcome to Barclays Half Year 2025 Results Analyst and Investor Conference Call. I will now hand over to C.S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive, before I hand over to Anna Cross, Group Finance Director.
Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining Barclays' second quarter 2025 results call. I'm very pleased to announce very strong results for this quarter. Income grew by 14% year-on-year to GBP7.2 billion. Profit before taxes grew by 28% to GBP2.5 billion, and earnings per share grew by 41% to 11.7p.
Return on tangible equity was 13.2% in the first half of the year and 12.3% in the quarter. This compares to 11.1% in the first half of 2024 and 9.9% in the second quarter of last year. Cost-income ratio at 59% in the second quarter is a 4 percentage point improvement versus last year. This performance drove an eighth consecutive quarter of growth in tangible book value per share now to 384p, and it has driven strong capital generation with a CET1 ratio of 14%.
