Nicolas Namias, Chairman of the Management Board of BPCE, said: “Groupe BPCE has completed the first half of 2024 marked by a number of extremely significant strategic developments. The upgrading of the Group's rating, now unanimously ranked in the A+ category for its long-term credit ratings, confirms the relevance of the financial management decisions made over several months and Groupe BPCE's ability to implemente its new strategic ambitions as presented towards the end of June in the “VISION 2030” project.
The Group, already on the move, has launched a new development momentum, characterized especially by several external growth operations, such as the acquisition project enabling Groupe BPCE to become the European leader in equipment lease financing, or the steps taken to reinforce the multi-boutique M&A network. The partnerships forged with leading players in payments solutions or energy renovation also demonstrate our ability to develop our activities as an open group.
Groupe BPCE recorded in the second quarter the first rebound of its revenues year-on-year since end-2022. Consequently, the group reports an increase in its half-year results thanks to sustained commercial activity, both in retail banking and insurance, whose businesses are beginning to benefit from the new interest rate environment, and in its global businesses with their very good performance. True to their capacity for innovation, the Banques Populaires and Caisses d'Epargne have strengthened their commercial offerings for first-time homebuyers and confirmed once again their status as pioneers in offering their clients the latest innovations in payment solutions. Our asset management business has generated highly positive net inflows, while income from our Corporate & Investment Banking arm has continued to grow with closely managed regularity.
The Group's financial discipline is illustrated by its tight control of costs in an inflationary environment, its prudent risk policy, and the preservation of an extremely high level of solvency.
Finally, six years after becoming the first premium partner to commit to the Olympic & Paralympic Games, Groupe BPCE and its companies are particularly pleased to have shared the magic of the Games with the greatest number of people in all the territories thanks to the Torch Relay, and to have contributed the best of its banking and payment expertise to ensure the success of this extraordinary sporting event. Today, it's time for all our employees, clients, and cooperative shareholders to share our enthusiasm and fully embrace the exceptional emotions inspired by these games.”

Notes on methodology
Presentation on the pro-forma quarterly results
The 2023 quarterly series are presented pro forma with changes in standards and organization:
The sectoral reallocation of the results of the private equity activities of the entities BP Développement & CE Développement from Corporate center to RB&I and GFS divisions;
The new management standards adopted by Natixis (including the normative allocation of capital to the business lines) within the GFS division.
The main evolutions impact RB&I, GFS and the Corporate center.
The data for 2023 has been recalculated to obtain a like-for-like basis of comparison.
The quarterly series of Groupe BPCE remain unchanged.
The tables showing the transition from reported 2023 to pro-forma 2023 are presented on annexes.
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 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 IV 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.
