We continued to play our role to the full alongside our clients with all our companies, and the commercial activities of our different business lines remained strong both in our two BP and CE retail banking networks as well as in our Corporate & Investment Banking business unit that performed well thanks to the positive impact of its diversification strategy.
We are also keeping a close eye on the economic environment and pursuing a prudent provisioning policy, as we have for several past quarters.

Groupe BPCE’s customers can rely on its talented teams and financial strength to weather the current uncertain environment.

On December 3, at the end of an exemplary succession process in terms of both speed and the quality of the in-house candidates, Nicolas Namias will be succeeding me as Chairman of the Management Board of BPCE. This is a great opportunity for our Group and I have every faith in the qualities of Nicolas, who has been by my side for 8 years and who, along with all the senior managers of the Group, will pursue the ambitions and the ongoing development of each of our business lines. I would also like to extend my thanks to all the people working for our Group, the Banques Populaires, the Caisses d’Epargne, Natixis CIB, Natixis IM and the Communauté BPCE” whose commitment, outstanding skills and sense of customer service make Groupe BPCE a recognized model in our industry fully prepared for the challenges facing our society.”

In Asset Management1, assets under management1 stood at 1,095 billion euros at September 30, 2022, equal to a decline of 1% in Q3-22 compared with the previous quarter, chiefly due to a significant negative market effect (notably on equities and bond products) partially offset by the increase in the value of the USD.

FICT revenues reached 330 million euros in Q3-22, up 20%, and 1,006 million euros in 9M-22, up 12%. This robust performance is linked to the dynamic Forex activity benefiting from very strong client demand owing to high volatility and the strong commercial activity this quarter for the Commodities business.

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 Payments & Oney sub-segment
The Payments and Oney business lines have been brought together within a single Payments & Oney 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 customers who have set up their Opt'in consent parameters represents the total number of individual customers or individual entrepreneurs who have currently accepted or refused to receive offers and to be contacted by e-mail and/or text messages and notifications in the dedicated digital space (privacy center)
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 June 30, 2022 has been drawn up in compliance with IFRS guidelines, as adopted in the European Union. This financial information is the equivalent of summary financial statements for an interim period as defined by IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting.”

Preparation of the financial information requires Management to make estimates and assumptions in certain areas with regard to 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.

Regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, thanks to the favorable development of vaccination, the impact on the economy, especially in France, is expected to be more benign going forward, although some sectors may still be affected, notably by supply chain disruption due to the Covid-19 situation in certain countries. This situation could last several months. Developments in the Covid-19 pandemic continue to be a substantial source of uncertainty.

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and related sanctions have led to heightened volatility across markets and political tensions across the world. In addition, the war has caused significant population displacement, and if the conflict continues, disruption may increase, including shortage of vital commodities and causing food insecurity for example. Uncertainty about the development of the situation can have significant adverse effects on macroeconomic and market conditions and may create uncertainty about forward-looking statements.

With respect to the financial information of Groupe BPCE for the quarter ended on June 30, 2022 and in view of the context mentioned above, attention should be drawn to expected credit losses (IFRS 9 provisions): in order to estimate the significant increase in credit risk and to compute expected credit losses, Groupe BPCE has taken account of forward-looking information based on a pessimistic economic scenario defined in April 2022 (overweighted at 75% for Retail Banking and at 70 % for Corporate & Investment Banking).

The financial information of Groupe BPCE for the period ended June 30, 2022 approved by the Management Board at the meeting convened on August 2, 2022, was verified and reviewed by the Supervisory Board at a meeting convened on August 3, 2022.

The limited review procedures relating to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended June 30, 2022 have been substantially completed. The reports of the statutory auditors regarding the limited review of these condensed consolidated financial statements will be published following the finalization of their verification.
