Our presence alongside our customers, and the massive support we provided them at the height of the crisis in 2020 is now bearing fruit with a sharp increase in our financing activities responding to their new needs associated with the economic recovery. Our “BPCE 2024” strategic plan has a good start and, as of this quarter, we have taken very tangible steps in favor of the energy transition, which will enable us to answer to the strong expectations of society at large in this area. With the delisting of Natixis, we have taken a decisive step this quarter in our drive to simplify our corporate structure, a project to which we will be devoting our energies over the next few months in order to complete the creation of a powerful and innovative multi-brand cooperative banking group, pursuing strong strategic ambitions at the service of its customers, its employees, and its cooperative shareholders.”

Unless specified to the contrary, the following financial data and related comments refer to the underlying results, i.e. results restated to exclude exceptional items, as presented on page 2. Changes express differences between Q2-21 and Q2-20, and between H1-21 and H1-20.
In Q2-21, Groupe BPCE recorded 22.0% growth in net banking income, which now stands at 6,334 million euros, and an increase of 16.0% in H1-21 to 12,465 million euros, reflecting a strong rebound in commercial activity across all business lines compared with the first half of 2020 (a weak baseline for comparison) but also compared to the first half of 2019. Net banking income increased by 6.4% in H1-21 vs. H1-19.
The Retail Banking & Insurance division posted 10.0% growth in revenues in Q2-21 to 4,420 million euros, and 7.6% growth in H1-21 to 8,718 million euros reflecting the commercial dynamism of the two Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne retail banking networks and all the business activities of the Financial Solutions & Expertise division. In the Insurance business, premium income enjoyed a sharp recovery (+50% in H1-21) and the share of unit-linked products increased to 28% of assets under management. Payments activities also showed a significant recovery compared with the first half of 2020, a period severely impacted by the measures taken in response to the Covid pandemic.
The Global Financial Services division includes the activities of the Asset & Wealth Management and Corporate & Investment Banking business lines. The division generated revenues of 1,770 million euros in Q2-21 and 3,483 million euros in H1-21, up by 45.6% and 30.5% respectively. In the Asset Management segment, the first half of 2020 suffered the negative impacts of lower market values and seed money markdowns while the Corporate & Investment Banking business was depressed by the cancellation of dividends that penalized the revenues of the Equity businesses and by xVA effects.
Operating expenses increased by 5.0% year-on-year in H1-21. Thanks to a positive jaws effect, the cost/income ratio stood at 67.0%, after restating to account for the IFRIC 21 impact in H1-21, down 7.0 percentage points vs. H1-20 and 2.6pp vs. H1-19.
Gross operating income increased significantly both in Q2-21 to 2,254 million euros (+58.3% vs. Q2-20, +15.8% vs. Q2-19) and in H1-21 to 3,803 million euros (+52.6% vs. H1-20, +15.5% vs. H1-19).
The cost of risk for Groupe BPCE fell sharply year-on-year: it stood at 332 million euros in Q2-21 (-66.1%) and 822 million euros in H1-21 (-44.6%). However, the cost of risk in the first half of 2021 remains higher than in the same period in 2019 (+34.8%) owing to the continuing pursuit of a prudent provisioning policy.
For Groupe BPCE, the amount of provisions for performing loans rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ came to 78 million euros in H1-21 vs. 538 million euros in H1-20. Provision for loans with proven risk rated ‘Stage 3’ stood at 743 million euros in H1-21 vs. 946 million euros in H1-20.
In Q2-21, the cost of risk stood at 17bps of gross customer loans for Groupe BPCE (55bps in Q2-20), including a very slight reversal of provisions on performing loans (-1bp in Q2-21 vs. 25bps in Q2 20) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’.
The cost of risk stood at 18bps for Retail Banking & Insurance (45bps in Q2-20) including -1bps for the provisioning of performing loans (26bps in Q2-20) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ and at 17bps for Corporate & Investment Banking (163bps in Q2-20) including 9bps for the provisioning of performing loans rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ vs. 39bps in Q2-20.
In H1-21, the cost of risk amounted to 22bps when expressed as a proportion of gross customer loan outstandings for Groupe BPCE (42bps in H1-20), including 2bps for the provisioning of performing loans (15bps in H1-20) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’.
It stood at 21bps for Retail Banking & Insurance (34bps in H1-20), including 2bps for the provisioning of performing loans (15bps in H1-20) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’, and at 35bps for Corporate & Investment Banking (144bps in H1-20), including 8bps for the provisioning of performing loans rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’, compared with 25bps in H1-20.
The ratio of non-performing loans to gross loan outstandings was 2.6% at June 30, 2021, up 0.1pp from end-2020.
Reported net income (Group share) in Q2-21 amounted to 1,308 million euros vs. 131 million euros in Q2-20. In H1-21, it reached 1,856 million euros, up significantly year-on-year compared with 312 million euros in H1-20.
Underlying net income (Group share), after being restated to account for the impact of IFRIC 21 and excluding the net contribution of Coface, amounted to 1,241 million euros in Q2-21 (multiplied by a factor of 6.6) and 2,250 million euros in H1-21 (multiplied by a factor of 2.6).

The volume of liquidity reserves reached 297 billion euros at the end of June 2021, representing an extremely high coverage ratio of 241% of short-term financial debts (including short-term maturities of medium-/long-term financial debt).
2.6 Medium-/long-term funding plan: approximately 68% of the 2021 plan already raised at July 9, 2021
The size of the MLT funding plan for 2021 has been revised and stands at 22 billion euros (excluding structured private placements and ABS). The plan can be broken down as follows:
- 5.5 billion euros of Tier 2 and/or non-preferred senior debt
- 6 billion euros in preferred senior debt
- 10.5 billion euros in covered bonds
The target for ABS is 1.5 billion euros.
As at July 9, 2021, Groupe BPCE had raised 14.9 billion euros (around 68% of the plan):
- 2.1 billion euros non-preferred senior debt
- 4.4 billion euros in preferred senior debt
- 8.4 billion euros in covered bonds

ANNEXES
Notes on methodology
Presentation of restated and pro-forma quarterly results
In its capacity as the central institution, BPCE SA organizes, coordinates and supervises a certain number of activities or services on behalf of the Group and, notably, of the Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne retail banking networks (strategic oversight, coordination of commercial policies, centralized management of refinancing, major projects, etc.). The contribution of the central institution is presented under the Corporate center division.
The rules governing the re-invoicing by BPCE SA of expenses recorded with respect to the missions it pursues in its central institution capacity were modified in the fourth quarter of 2020. As a result and for comparison purposes, the 2019 and 2020 quarterly income statements of the Retail Banking & Insurance and Corporate center divisions have been restated for past periods
Restatement of the impact of IFRIC 21
The results, cost/income ratios and ROE, after being restated to account for the impact of IFRIC 21, are calculated on the basis of ¼ of the amount of taxes and contributions resulting from the interpretation of IFRIC 21 for a given quarter, or ½ of the amount of taxes and contributions resulting from the interpretation of IFRIC 21 for a 6-month period. In practice, for Groupe BPCE, the principal taxes concerned by IFRIC 21 are the company social solidarity contribution (C3S) and contributions and levies of a regulatory nature (systemic risk tax levied on banking institutions, contribution to ACPR control costs, contribution to the Single Resolution Fund and to the Single Supervisory Mechanism).
Net banking income
Customer net interest income, excluding regulated home savings schemes, is computed on the basis of interest earned from transactions with customers excluding net interest on centralized savings products (Livret A, Livret Développement Durable, Livret Epargne Logement passbook savings accounts) in addition to changes in provisions for regulated home purchase savings schemes. Net interest on centralized savings is assimilated to commissions.
Operating expenses
The operating expenses correspond to the aggregate total of the ‘Operating Expenses’ (as presented in the Group’s universal registration document, note 4.7 appended to the consolidated financial statements of Groupe BPCE) and ‘Depreciation, amortization and impairment for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.’
Cost of risk
The cost of risk is expressed in basis points and measures the level of risk per business line as a percentage of the volume of loan outstandings; it is calculated by comparing net provisions booked with respect to credit risks of the period to gross customer loan outstandings at the beginning of the period.
Loan outstandings and Deposits & Savings
Restatements regarding transitions from book outstandings to outstandings under management (Loans and Deposits & Savings) are as follows:
- Deposits & Savings: the scope of outstandings under management excludes debt securities (certificates of deposit and savings bonds)
- Loan outstandings: the scope of outstandings under management excludes securities classified as customer loans and receivables and other securities classified as financial operations.
Capital adequacy & deduction of IPC
- Common Equity Tier 1 is determined in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules and after deduction of irrevocable payment commitments
- Additional Tier-1 capital takes account of subordinated debt issues that have become non-eligible and subject to ceilings at the phase-out rate in force.
- The leverage ratio is calculated using the rules of the Delegated Act published by the European Commission on October 10, 2014, without transitional measures. Securities financing operations carried out with clearing houses are offset on the basis of the criteria set forth in IAS 32, without consideration of maturity and currency criteria.
Following the decision of July 13, 2018 handed down by the General Court of the European Union, Groupe BPCE again requested the agreement of the ECB to exclude the centralized outstandings of regulated savings from the calculation of the denominator of the ratio.
Total loss-absorbing capacity
The amount of liabilities eligible for inclusion in the numerator used to calculate the Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) ratio is determined on the basis of our understanding of the Term Sheet published by the FSB on November 9, 2015: “Principles on Loss-Absorbing and Recapitalization Capacity of G-SIBs in Resolution.”
This amount is comprised of the following 4 items:
- Common Equity Tier 1 in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules,
- Additional Tier-1 capital in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules,
- Tier-2 capital in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules,
- Subordinated liabilities not recognized in the capital mentioned above and whose residual maturity is greater than 1 year, namely:
- The share of additional Tier-1 capital instruments not recognized in common equity (i.e. included in the phase-out),
- The share of the prudential discount on Tier-2 capital instruments whose residual maturity is greater than 1 year,
- The nominal amount of senior non-preferred securities maturing in more than 1 year.
Eligible amounts differ slightly from the amounts adopted for the numerator of the capital adequacy ratios; these eligible amounts are determined using the principles defined in the Term Sheet published by the FSB on November 9, 2015.
Liquidity
Total liquidity reserves comprise the following:
- Central bank-eligible assets include: ECB-eligible securities not eligible for the LCR, taken for their ECB valuation (after the ECB haircut), securities retained (securitization and covered bonds) that are available and ECB-eligible taken for their ECB valuation (after ECB haircut) and private receivables available and eligible for central bank funding (ECB and the Federal Reserve), net of central bank funding.
- LCR eligible assets comprising the Group’s LCR reserve taken for their LCR valuation.
- Liquid assets placed with central banks (ECB and the Federal Reserve), net of US Money Market Funds deposits and to which fiduciary money is added.
Short-term funding corresponds to funding with an initial maturity of less than, or equal to, 1 year and the short-term maturities of medium-/long-term debt correspond to debt with an initial maturity date of more than 1 year maturing within the next 12 months. Customer deposits are subject to the following adjustments:
- Addition of security issues placed by the Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne retail banking networks with their customers, and certain operations carried out with counterparties comparable to customer deposits
- Withdrawal of short-term deposits held by certain financial customers collected by Natixis in pursuit of its intermediation activities.
Simplified Public Tender Offer on Natixis shares
On February 9, 2021, BPCE SA announced its intent to acquire the shares in Natixis SA’s capital that it did not already own, i.e. approximately 29.3% at December 31, 2020, and to file a simplified tender offer (“offre publique d’achat simplifiée”) with the French stock market regulator AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers).
After the tender offer was declared compliant by the AMF on April 15, the various necessary regulatory approvals were subsequently obtained, enabling the simplified public tender offer to proceed on June 4, 2021.
On June 30, 2021, BPCE SA held 79.71% of Natixis shares (percentage of ownership expressed as a proportion of the total number of shares settled and delivered as at the balance sheet date, excluding treasury shares held by Natixis). The earnings generated by the Natixis Group in the 2nd quarter of the year and attributed to BPCE were computed on the basis of this percentage.
Result of the Simplified Public Tender Offer on Natixis shares
The simplified tender offer for 29.3% of the share capital of Natixis S.A., which closed on July 9, 2021, enabled Groupe BPCE to hold more than 90% of the share capital and voting rights of Natixis. The squeeze-out was subsequently implemented on July 21, 2021.
