Nicolas Namias, Chairman of the Management Board of BPCE, said:Groupe BPCE has reported very solid results. In what proved to be an adverse economic and financial environment for some of our businesses, we nevertheless continued to expand our business activities in all our customer segments while continuing to maintain prudent risk management and good control over our expenses. We are determined to further expand the major role we already play in financing the French economy. This environment, characterized by higher interest rates, is putting our retail banking activities in a transitional phase, but this context will ultimately prove to be positive for our business lines. I am confident in the ability of the Banques Populaires and Caisses d'Epargne, of Natixis CIB, Natixis IM and all our activities to continue their growth for the greater benefit of their customers in this new environment. Our financial strength, the robustness of our business lines, and the solidity of our corporate governance system are major assets for pursuing our strategy and investing in our development. I would like to express my thanks to all the Groupe BPCE personnel both in France and abroad who, thanks to their commitment and their immense expertise, provide our customers with their support every day. They help to make our Group a central player in our economy, at the heart of the efforts to rise to the climate, digital and societal challenges facing us today.

1.     Groupe BPCE

Unless specified to the contrary, the following financial data and related comments refer to the Group's reported results and the
underlying results of the business lines, i.e. restated to account for exceptional items as presented in the annexes on pages 23 to 24;
changes express differences between Q4-22 and Q4-21 and between full-year 2022 and full-year 2021.

In Q4-22, Groupe BPCE recorded a 10% decline in net banking income to 6,252 million euros owing, firstly, to the lower level of net banking income generated by the Retail Banking & Insurance business unit (-3%) and, secondly, to the downturn in the net banking income posted by the Global Financial Services business unit (-21%).
For RB&I, the decline in net banking income resulted from the lower net banking income generated by the two retail banking networks (-2% for the Banque Populaire network and -8% for the Caisse d'Epargne network) due to the cost of funding rising more rapidly than the repricing of assets reflecting, in particular, the impact of regulated savings (the weight of regulated savings is greater in the CE network than in the BP network) but also owing to the high proportion of fixed-rate loans, and despite the robust performance of all the other business lines, reporting growth in net banking income.
For GFS, the decline in net banking income is mainly due to the significant drop in the net banking income posted by Asset & Wealth Management (-34%), which had a particularly difficult year in asset management owing to the sharp rise in interest rates and falling stock markets, which triggered a significant base effect with a high level of performance fees recorded in Q4-21, while the decline in net banking income from Corporate & Investment Banking activities was much more limited in nature (-2%).

Operating expenses for Q4-22 were down 6% at 4,608 million euros.

Owing to the negative jaws effect, the cost/income ratio (excluding exceptional items and the contribution to the SRF1) came to 72.0% in Q4-22, up 4.4pp.

Gross operating income was down -20% in Q4-22 at 1,644 million euros.

Groupe BPCE's cost of risk increased by 25% in Q4-22 to 772 million euros. The Group continues to pursue a prudent provisioning policy.

For Groupe BPCE as a whole, the amount of provisions for performing loans rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ came to 330 million euros in Q4-22 vs. 315 million euros in Q4-21. Provisions for loans with proven risk rated ‘Stage 3’ stood at 442 million euros in Q4-22 vs. 304 million euros in Q4-21, the increase being largely attributable to a specific item.

In Q4-22, the cost of risk was 37bps for gross customer loans for Groupe BPCE (32bps in Q4-21), including a provisioning on performing loans of 16bps in Q4-22 (16bps in Q4-21) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ and a provision on loans with proven risk of 21bps in Q4-22 (16bps in Q4-21) rated ‘Stage 3’.

The cost of risk stood at 37bps for the Retail Banking & Insurance business unit in Q4-22 (34bps in Q4-21), including 14bps for the provisioning of performing loans (18bps in Q4-21) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ and 23bps for the provisioning of loans with proven risk (16bps in Q4-21) rated ‘Stage 3’.

The cost of risk stood at 33bps for the Corporate & Investment Banking business unit in Q4-22 (26bps in Q4-21), including 23bps for the provisioning of performing loans (11bps in Q4-21) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ and 10bps for the provisioning of loans where the risk is proven (14bps in Q4-21) rated ‘Stage 3’.

Reported net income (Group share) in Q4-22 reached 549 million euros vs. 819 million euros in Q4-21 (-33%).

Exceptional items had an impact on net income (Group share) of only -51 million euros in Q4-22, down 80% compared with Q4-21.

Underlying net income (Group share) stood at 600 million euros in Q4-22 (-46%).

1 See note on methodology

In 2022, the net banking income generated by Groupe BPCE remained stable at 25,705 million euros. For the second year running, net banking income is in line with the target fixed in the 2021-2024 strategic plan of approximately 25.5 billion euros.

The Retail Banking & Insurance business unit posted a 2% increase in revenues in 2022 to 17,938 million euros reflecting, in particular, the commercial dynamism of the two Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne retail banking networks – although it should be noted that the net banking income of the two networks (+4% for the Banque Populaire network and stable for the Caisse d'Epargne network) was negatively impacted by the rise in the cost of funding which outpaced the repricing of assets owing, in particular, to regulated savings (the weight of regulated savings is greater in the CE network than in the BP network) but also owing to the high proportion of fixed-rate loans – as well as reflecting the commercial buoyancy of the Financial Solutions & Expertise and Digital & Payments business units.
The Global Financial Services division recorded revenues of 7,105 million euros in 2022, down 6% as a result of a deterioration in the revenues generated by Asset & Wealth Management (-14%), which had a particularly difficult year in asset management owing to the sharp rise in interest rates and falling stock markets, and despite the good performance of Corporate & Investment Banking, whose revenues grew by 3%.

Operating expenses have been kept well under control, increasing by only 1% in 2022 to 18,077 million euros. If the contribution to the SRF is excluded (up by 45%), operating expenses remained stable in 2022 at 17,467 million euros.

With a slightly negative jaws effect, the cost/income ratio (excluding exceptional items and the contribution to the SRF1) rose slightly in 2022 to 66.7%, equal to an increase of +0.6pp.

Gross operating income declined slightly in 2022 to 7,628 million euros, or -3%.

Groupe BPCE's cost of risk rose by 12% in 2022 to 2,000 million euros. The Group continues to pursue a prudent provisioning policy with the cost of risk for performing loans rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ increasing by 433 million euros, while the cost of risk for loans with proven risk, rated ‘Stage 3,’ decreased by 216 million euros.

For Groupe BPCE as a whole, the amount of provisions for performing loans rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ came to 852 million euros in 2022 vs. 419 million euros in 2021, representing a doubling of the level from one year to the next. Provisions for loans with proven risk rated ‘Stage 3’ stood at 1,148 million euros in 2022 vs. 1,364 million euros in 2021.

In 2022, the cost of risk stood at 24bps for gross customer loans for Groupe BPCE (23bps in 2021), including a provisioning on performing loans of 10bps in 2022 (5bps in 2021) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ and a provision on loans with proven risk of 14bps in 2022 (18bps in 2021) rated ‘Stage 3’.

The cost of risk stood at 26bps for the Retail Banking & Insurance business unit in 2022 (24bps in 2021), including 11bps for the provisioning of performing loans (7bps in 2021) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ and 15bps for the provisioning of loans with proven risk (18bps in 2021) rated ‘Stage 3’.

The cost of risk stood at 36bps for the Corporate & Investment Banking business unit in 2022 (27bps in 2021), including 15bps for the provisioning of performing loans (2bps in 2021) rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’ and 21bps for the provisioning of loans where the risk is proven (24bps in 2021) rated ‘Stage 3’.

Outstanding provisions on loans rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2’, which reflect the Group's prudent provisioning policy, increased by
0.9 billion euros from end-December 2021 to end-December 2022. Since the end of 2019, just before the outbreak of the Covid-19
pandemic, these outstanding provisions have even increased by 2.5 billion euros, forming a major buffer in the event of any future
deterioration in the asset quality.

The ratio of non-performing loans to gross loan outstandings came to 2.3% at December 31, 2022, down 0.1pp compared with the end of 2021.

Reported net income (Group share) in 2022 remained stable at 3,951 million euros vs. 4,003 million euros in 2021 (reflecting a marginal decrease of 1%).

Exceptional items came to only -164 million euros in terms of impact on net income (Group share) in 2022, down 64% compared with 2021.

Underlying net income (Group share) stood at 4,114 million euros in 2022 (-8%).

2.     Environmental transition: a long-term commitment


The Group has made a few steps further in its ambitions in 2022:

  • Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA): alignment with the framework of an international benchmark to increase the impact of our actions,
  • Publication of the Group’s ambitions regarding two of the most carbon intensive sectors:
    • Power generation: carbon intensity target < 138 CO2 e/kWh by 2030,
    • Oil & Gas (production/extraction activities): target of a 30% reduction in absolute emissions by 2030,
  • We became member of the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA).

The Group is managing its financing portfolios to support the energy transition:

  • Program to have a color rating scheme applied to our portfolios: assessment of the portfolios’ climate performance,
  • Alignment of our financing portfolios with a carbon neutral trajectory: identification of carbon footprint reduction targets within the framework of NZBA.

In terms of Green Evaluation Models, we have made progress towards the 2024 target of 100%:

  • At end-2020, ≈20% of the portfolios covered,
  • At end-2021, ≈40% of the portfolios covered,
  • At end-2022, ≈50% of the portfolios covered.

In terms of temperature of the general fund of BPCE Assurances, we have also made progress towards the targets of 2.0°C in 2024 and 1.5°C in 2030:

  • At end-2020, 2.7°C,
  • At end-2021, 2.0°C - 2.5°C,
  • At end-2022, 2.0°C - 2.5°C.

We are bringing innovation and are actively present in the green and social bond market:

  • First European issuer of sustainable agriculture bonds in January2022,
  • Issuance of 3 public green bonds in 2022 for an aggregate amount of €1.9bn, in line with the target of the 2021-2024 strategic plan (at least 3 green or social bond issues per year),
  • 15.3 billion euros of outstanding green, transition and social bonds at Group level at end 2022.

A workforce of about 9,000 employees of BPCE, Natixis and subsidiaries have moved to the new BPCE Towers in Eastern Paris in 2022 and the beginning of 2023.

The Group had a global approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the construction and then operation of the BPCE Towers:

  • Innovations to reduce their energy impact:
    • Carbon emissions reduced by approximately 20% versus standard construction, through the use of low carbon materials,
    • A building designed with energy efficiency in mind:
      • 1,500 m2 of photovoltaic panels for the local production of green energy,
      • High thermal and acoustic performance of the “double skin” glazed facades,
    • Energy performance recognized by the Leed Platinum, HQE Exceptional, and Effinergie+ labels.
  • A global and cross functional approach to CSR:
    • Calls for tenders integrating CSR criteria,
    • Control of energy consumption,
    • IT equipment and furniture reused as far as possible,
    • Infrastructure tailored to soft mobility,
    • Zero-waste approach in our working environments.

With the introduction of hybrid working methods, the Group managed to reduce 40% of its office space footprint for the activities and companies concerned.

3.     Capital, loss-absorbing capacity, liquidity and funding
3.1   CET1 ratio1

Groupe BPCE's CET11 ratio at end-December 2022 remains at an estimated level of 15.1%, stable compared to end-September 2022. The quarterly change is explained by the following impacts:

  • Q4 2022 results: +12bps,
  • Growth in risk-weighted assets: -1bps, resulting in organic capital creation of 11bps during the quarter if these 2 items are combined,
  • Net inflow from cooperative shares: +2bps,
  • Change in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI): -10bps,
  • and other changes: +1bps.

At the end of December 2022, Groupe BPCE held a buffer of 408bps above the threshold for triggering the maximum distributable amount (MDA) for equity capital, while taking account of the prudential requirements laid down by the ECB that became applicable as of January 1, 2023.

  1. TLAC ratio2

Total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) estimated at the end of December 2022 stands at 109.4 billion euros. The TLAC ratio, expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, stood at an estimated 23.7% at the end of December 2022 (without taking account of preferred senior debt for the calculation of this ratio), well above the current Financial Stability Board requirements of 21.54% and in line with the target of the 2021-2024 strategic plan (> 23.5%).

  1. Leverage ratio

At December 31, 2022, the estimated leverage ratio1 stood at 5.0%, up from 4.9% at end-September 2022. The leverage ratio requirement was set at 3.0% until December 31, 2022.

  1. Liquidity reserves at a high level

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) for Groupe BPCE is well above the regulatory requirements of 100%, standing at 139%
based on the average of end-of-month LCRs in the 4th quarter of 2022.
The volume of liquidity reserves reached 322 billion euros at the end of December 2022, representing an extremely high coverage ratio of 150% of short-term financial debts (including short-term maturities of medium-/long-term financial debt).

  1. MLT funding plan: 36% of the 2023 plan already raised as at January 1, 2023

  • 10 billion euros in TLAC funding: 2 billion euros in Tier 2 and 8 billion euros in senior non-preferred debt,
  • 7 billion euros in senior preferred debt,
  • 12 billion euros in covered bonds.

The target for ABS is 1.7 billion euros.

In January 2023, Groupe BPCE raised 10.5 billion euros, excluding structured private placements and ABS (36% of the 29 billion euro plan):

  • 5.1 billion euros in TLAC funding, i.e. 51% of requirements: 1.5 billion euros in Tier 2 (75% of requirements) and

  • Net interest margin (excluding provisions for home-purchase saving schemes): a 4% decline to 3,947 million euros, despite increased volumes and as a result of the cost of funding outpacing the repricing of assets owing, in particular, to the weight of regulated savings (bearing in mind the Caisses d'Epargne's significant share of the regulated savings market as a historical distributor of Livret A passbook savings accounts) and the high proportion of fixed-rate loans,

In Asset Management1, assets under management1 stood at 1,079 billion euros at December 31, 2022, equal to a 2% decline in Q4-22, chiefly due to a significant negative foreign currency exchange effect (depreciation of the USD vs. the EUR) partially offset by a positive market effect.

Net outflows in Asset Management1 reached 4 billion euros in Q4-22 as a result of outflows from mutual funds in the United States and despite positive net inflows to products under ESG management, Solution products in the United States, and Private Assets (mainly Infrastructure).

Global markets revenues increased thanks to continued diversification and good risk management.
FICT revenues reached 304 million euros in Q4-22 and 1,310 million euros in full-year 2022, up 13%. This robust performance is related to the dynamic Forex activity benefiting from very strong client demand owing to high volatility and the strong commercial activity of the Commodities business that offset the weaker revenues from the Credit business.
For the Equity business line, revenues came to 113 million euros in Q4-22 and to 534 million euros in 2022, up by 27% thanks to a good commercial momentum, they thus exceeded the annual run rate of 300 million euros updated during the strategic review conducted in Q3-20.

In Global finance, 2022 revenues declined slightly (-1%) to 1,463 million euros. The good performance of Trade finance offset lower revenues generated by Corporate and Real assets finance.

In Investment banking, revenues stood up well but ended up in decline, penalized by a smaller contribution from Acquisition & Strategic finance.

As far as M&A activities are concerned, revenues declined in 2022, depressed by the lower level of business activities than in 2021.

In Q4-22, net banking income generated by the Corporate & Investment Banking business unit is down 2% to 935 million euros (-5% at constant exchange rates).

Operating expenses fell by 6% in Q4-22 to 671 million euros (-9% at constant exchange rates).

Gross operating income rose by 11% in Q4-22 to 263million euros.

The cost of risk rose by 20 million euros (+48%) in Q4-22 to 61 million euros.

This led to a 4% increase in income before tax to 206 million euros in Q4-22.

In full-year 2022, net banking income generated by the Corporate & Investment Banking business unit was up 2% to
3,756 million euros (-1% at constant exchange rates).

ANNEXES

Notes on methodology

Presentation of the pro-forma quarterly results
Simplification of the Group's organizational structure
Plans to simplify the Group's organizational structure were implemented operationally in Q1-2022. These measures include:

  • The decision whereby the Insurance and Payments business lines report directly to BPCE SA; from a segment reporting perspective, these business lines already reported to the Retail Banking & Insurance (RB&I) business unit that is now responsible for all the business lines serving the retail banking networks,
  • The bringing together of the Asset Management and Wealth Management and Corporate & Investment Banking business lines within a new business unit: Global Financial Services (GFS),
  • The simplification of functional interactions between BPCE and the business activities of GFS, Insurance, and Payments.

As a result of this reorganization, the reallocation of structural expenses and re-invoicing procedures, as well as the analytical remuneration of equity capital, have been revised.

As a result, and for comparison purposes, the 2021 quarterly income statements of the RB&I, GFS and Corporate center segments have beeń restated.

As these are internal transactions within Groupe BPCE, they have no impact on the Group's financial statements.

Creation of the Digital & Payments sub-segment
The Payments and Oney business lines have been brought together within a single Digital & Payments sub-segment.
Segment information for previous quarters has been restated accordingly. These internal transactions have no impact on the Group's financial statements.

Internal transfer
Crédit Foncier's subsidiary, Banco Primus (Corporate center) was transferred to BPCE Financement (Financial Solutions & Expertise business unit within RB&I).
Segment information for previous quarters has been restated accordingly. These internal transactions have no impact on the Group's financial statements.

Exceptional items
Exceptional items and the reconciliation of the reported income statement to the underlying income statement of Groupe BPCE are detailed in the annexes.

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 Épargne 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
Operating expenses correspond to the aggregate total of the “Operating Expenses” (as presented in the Group’s 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/income ratio
Groupe BPCE's cost/income ratio is calculated on the basis of net banking income and operating expenses excluding exceptional items, the latter being restated to account for the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) booked in the Corporate center division. The calculations are detailed in the annexes.
Business line cost/income ratios are calculated on the basis of underlying net banking income and operating expenses.

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 are as follows:

  • Loan outstandings: the scope of outstandings under management does not include securities classified as customer loans and receivables and other securities classified as financial operations,
  • Deposits & savings: the scope of outstandings under management does not include debt securities (certificates of deposit and savings bonds).

Capital adequacy
Common Equity Tier 1 is determined in accordance with the applicable CRR II/CRD V rules, after deductions.
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 in accordance with the applicable CRR II/CRD V rules. Centralized outstandings of regulated savings are excluded from the leverage exposures as are Central Bank exposures for a limited period of time (pursuant to ECB decision 2021/27 of June 18, 2021).

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 by article 92a of CRR. Please note that a quantum of Senior Preferred securities has not been included in our calculation of TLAC.
This amount is consequently comprised of the 4 following items:

  • Common Equity Tier 1 in accordance with the applicable
    CRR II/CRD IV rules,
  • Additional Tier-1 capital in accordance with the applicable
    CRR II/CRD IV rules,
  • Tier-2 capital in accordance with the applicable CRR II/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.

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 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.

Digital indicators
The number of active customers using mobile apps or websites corresponds to the number of customers who have made at least one visit via one of the digital channels (mobile apps or website) over the last 12 months.
The number of visits corresponds to the average number of visits (all markets combined) via mobile apps and websites for the BP and CE over a 7-day period since the beginning of the year.
The Digital NPS is the recommendation score awarded by customers on the digital customer spaces weighted according to the weight of the spaces (web/mobile). It corresponds to the customer's net promoter score ranging between -100 and +100. The NPS is calculated over a sliding 3-month period.
The scores on the App Store or Google Play online stores correspond to the average of the scores awarded by users at the end of the period in question.
The number of Secur'Pass customers corresponds to the number of customers in the private, professional and corporate customer markets who have adopted the Secur'Pass solution.
The number of Android Point-Of-Sale (POS) Terminals represents the total number of POS terminals in the new Android range offering new functionalities other than payment: monitoring of transaction logs and sales turnover, creation of a product catalog, etc.
Consumer loans initiated via digital pathways correspond to loans for which the holder or co-holder (natural person or individual entrepreneur) has visited the consumer credit simulator in the 30 days preceding the loan release date. The percentage of consumer loans initiated via digital pathways corresponds to the number of contracts initiated via digital pathways related to the total number of all loan contracts.
The number of documents checked via data corresponds to the number of documents transmitted by customers via their digital spaces (web and mobile) or in branches and checked automatically, as well as the number of Popular Savings Passbook Accounts (LEP) verified automatically via the French Public Finances Department application (API DGFIP).
The number of external transfers made via Instant Payment corresponds to the number of instant fund transfers carried out during the quarter from one account to another IBAN-numbered account held by a beneficiary located in the SEPA zone.
The percentage of local payment transactions made using contactless technology is calculated using the number of local payments and ATM operations to the exclusion of e-commerce transactions.

DISCLAIMER

This press release may contain forward-looking statements and comments relating to the objectives and strategy of Groupe BPCE. By their very nature, these forward-looking statements inherently depend on assumptions, project considerations, objectives and expectations linked to future events, transactions, products and services as well as on suppositions regarding future performance and synergies.

No guarantee can be given that such objectives will be realized; they are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions relating to the Group, its subsidiaries and associates and the business development thereof; trends in the sector; future acquisitions and investments; macroeconomic conditions and conditions in the Group’s principal local markets; competition and regulation. Occurrence of such events is not certain, and outcomes may prove different from current expectations, significantly affecting expected results. Actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated or implied by the forward-looking statements. Groupe BPCE shall in no event have any obligation to publish modifications or updates of such objectives.

Information in this press release relating to parties other than Groupe BPCE or taken from external sources has not been subject to independent verification; the Group makes no statement or commitment with respect to this third-party information and makes no warranty as to the accuracy, fairness, precision or completeness of the information or opinions contained in this press release. Neither Groupe BPCE nor its representatives shall be held liable for any errors or omissions or for any harm resulting from the use of this press release, the content of this press release, or any document or information referred to in this press release.

The financial information presented in this document relating to the fiscal period ended December 31, 2022 has been drawn up in compliance with IFRS guidelines, as adopted in the European Union.

Preparation of the financial information requires Management to make estimates and assumptions in certain areas regarding uncertain future events. These estimates are based on the judgment of the individuals preparing this financial information and the information available at the date of the balance sheet. Actual future results may differ from these estimates.

The war in Ukraine has led to increased market volatility and rising political tensions around the world.

Uncertainty about future developments may have material adverse effects on macroeconomic and market conditions and may create uncertainty about projections.

Regarding Groupe BPCE's financial information for the period ended December 31, 2022, and given the context mentioned above, attention should be drawn to the fact that, the estimate of the increase in credit risk and the calculation of expected credit losses (IFRS 9 provisions) are largely based on assumptions depending on the macroeconomic context.

The financial information of Groupe BPCE for the period ended December 31, 2022 approved by the Management Board at the meeting convened on February 6, 2023, was verified and reviewed by the Supervisory Board at a meeting convened on February 8, 2023.

The audit procedures relating to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been substantially completed. The reports of the statutory auditors regarding the certification of these consolidated financial statements will be published following the verification of the Management Report and the finalization of the procedures required for the universal registration document.
