Half Year 2019 Barclays PLC Fixed Income Analysts and Investors Earnings Call Transcript

Let me start with Slide 3 and make a brief comment on our Q2 '19 performance and our targets before handing over to Kathryn.
We generated a profit before tax of GBP 1.5 billion in the quarter with a statutory RoTE of 9%, supported by double-digit returns for both Barclays U.K. and Barclays International of 12.7% and 10.7%, respectively, despite the challenging income environment.
As we mentioned on the call this morning, we continue to target an RoTE for 2019 of over 9%, excluding litigation and conduct, and we called out that cost control will be a continued focus of the management team through the second half.
We've reduced our 2019 cost
