We are fully engaged in our efforts to finance the economy; the Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne networks have each launched new home financing offers aimed at the under-35s, thereby amplifying the government's zero-rate loan scheme.
We are actively managing our financial equilibriums to prepare the future with confidence, by decreasing our expenses while strengthening our financial solidity, which gained 20bps this quarter to reach the highest European level. In the current context of economic and geopolitical uncertainties, we are keeping a prudent provisioning policy.
Finally, true to our commitment to being the Bank of Sport in France and a useful partner contributing to the success of the Olympics, we are efficiently meeting the challenge of managing ticket payments for the Olympic & Paralympic Games Paris 2024, the largest operations ever carried out on this scale."

1.   Groupe BPCE

Unless specified to the contrary, the financial data and related comments refer to reported results of the Group and business lines. Changes express differences between Q3-23 and Q3-22 and between 9M-23 and 9M-22.

Groupe BPCE reported an 8% decline in net banking income to 5,455 million euros in Q3-23 (stable compared with Q2-23) and an 8% decline to 16,736 million euros in 9M-23.

Revenues from the Retail Banking & Insurance business unit (RB&I) reached 3,721 million euros in Q3-23 (-8%) and 11,267 million euros in 9M-23 (-9%). The Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne retail banking networks enjoyed strong sales momentum. The continuous rise in the return on assets is gradually offsetting higher interest rates on liabilities; the net banking income generated by the retail banking networks is down 13%. The Financial Solutions & Expertise business unit saw its revenues rise by 8% in 9M-23 driven by the factoring and leasing businesses. The Insurance business unit benefited from the very good momentum in life insurance and personal protection, while revenue growth also reflected some volatility inherent in the application of the new IFRS 17 and 9 standards.

The Global Financial Services business unit reported a 2% increase in revenues both in Q3-23 and 9M-23, to 1,736 million euros and 5,356 million euros respectively. In 9M-23, this increase can mainly be attributed to a 7% rise in net banking income generated by the Corporate & Investment Banking business, buoyed up by strong commercial activity. The net banking income posted by the Asset & Wealth Management business was down 4% in 9M-23, impacted by a decline in average assets under management (-4% YoY).
The net interest margin came to 2.0 billion euros in Q3-23, down 17% YoY. Commissions rose by 4% to 2.5 billion euros in                Q3-23 and remained stable at 7.5 billion euros in 9M-23.

In a context of high inflation, operating expenses were kept under tight control in all the business lines. They fell by 3% in            Q3-23 to 3,812 million euros. In 9M-23, they fell by 2% to 12,199 million euros and, if contribution to the SRF (down 23%) is excluded, they were marginally down at 11,742 million euros.

The underlying cost/income ratio (excluding contributions to the SRF1) stood at 68.9% in Q3-23, up 4.5pp, and 69.6% in 9M-23, up 5.6pp.

Gross operating income fell by 19% in Q3-23 and by 21% in 9M-23, to 1,642 million euros and 4,537 million euros respectively.

Groupe BPCE's cost of risk was down 7% in Q3-23 to 319 million euros, and down 18% in 9M-23 to 988 million euros.

Performing loans are deemed to be rated ‘Stage 1’ or ‘Stage 2,’ while loans with proven risk are rated ‘Stage 3.’

In 9M-23, provisions came to a total of 998 million euros, compared with 1,198 million euros in 9M-22. This figure can be broken down as follows:

  • Provisions for performing loans: 522 million euros were allocated in 9M-22 and 258 million euros were reversed in      9M-23,
  • Allocations to provisions for loan outstandings with proven risk rose from 676 million euros in 9M-22 to 1,245 million euros in 9M-23 due to provisions for a limited number of specific files and a slight deterioration in a few sectors.

In 9M-23, the cost of risk for Groupe BPCE amounted to 16bps in terms of gross customer outstandings (20bps in 9M-22). This figure includes a 4bps reversal of provisions on performing loans during the period (vs. a 9bps provision in 9M-22) and a 20bps provision on loans with proven risk (vs. an 11bps provision in 9M-22).

The cost of risk for the Corporate & Investment Banking business unit amounted to 19bps (37bps in 9M-22), including a 10bps reversal in provisions for performing loans (vs. a 12bps provision in 9M-22) and a 30bps allocation to provisions for loans with a proven risk (vs. a 25bps provision in 9M-22).

The ratio of non-performing loans to gross loan outstandings remained stable at 2.3% at September 30, 2023, compared with December 31, 2022.

GFS revenues rose by 2% in Q3-23 and 9M-23, respectively to 1,736 million euros (+6% at constant exchange rates) and 5,356 million euros (+3% at constant exchange rates). These trends can be explained by strong sales activity in all our business lines.
Corporate & Investment Banking revenues rose by 7% in 9M-23 to 3.0 billion euros, thanks to the diversification and strong performance of the Equity (+14% YoY), Global trade (+21% YoY) and Investment banking and M&A businesses (+8% YoY).
In what proved to be a difficult market environment in Q3-23, Asset & Wealth Management revenues were up by 1% at constant exchange rates, despite lower performance fees. Over the previous 12-month period, net banking income fell by 4% in 9M-23, still penalized by the YoY decline in average assets under management and lower performance fees.

Operating expenses rose by 1% in Q3-23 and by 2% in 9M-23, to 1,279 million euros (+5% at constant exchange rates) and 3,864 million euros (+3% at constant exchange rates) respectively.
In 9M-23, operating expenses incurred by the Corporate & Investment Banking business unit rose by 5% YoY, reflecting revenue growth, ongoing capital expenditure and the inflationary environment.
In 9M-23, despite the impact of inflation, the operating expenses incurred by the Asset & Wealth Management business – which have been kept under tight control – declined by 1%, on an annual basis, thanks to the ongoing cost-cutting plan.

The underlying cost/income ratio3 fell by 0.8pp to 73.5% in Q3-23, and by 0.1pp to 71.8% in 9M-23.

Gross operating income rose by 7% in Q3-23 to 457 million euros (+11% at constant exchange rates), and by 3% in 9M-23 to 1,492 million euros (+3% at constant exchange rates).

Revenues posted by the Global Markets activity, driven by the strong performance of the Equity business – including business generated with Groupe BPCE’s retail banking networks – which rose by 14% to 480 million euros in 9M-23.
FIC-T revenues fell by 1% to 998 million euros in 9M-23. Good momentum in FI-Credit and FI-Rates offset lower revenues generated by the FI-Currencies and Commodities businesses (owing to lower currency volatility and weaker customer demand).

In Global finance, revenues from Real Assets and Portfolio declined owing to a weaker contribution from Real assets origination. The good performance achieved by Global Trade (+21% YoY growth in 9M-23) was driven by the strength of the Treasury Solutions business activities.

ANNEXES

Notes on methodology

Presentation of the pro-forma quarterly results

The main pro-forma restatement concerns the transition to IFRS 17. Data for 2022 has been recalculated under IFRS 17 to obtain a like-for-like basis of comparison.

New management standards adopted by Natixis (normative allocation of capital to the business lines) have led to a recalculation of the data for the 2022 quarterly series.

The tables showing the transition from reported 2022 to pro-forma 2022 are presented on annexes.

IFRS 17/IFRS 9

Groupe BPCE has applied the provisions of IFRS 17 pertaining to insurance contracts since January 1, 2023, as well as IFRS 9 for insurance entities.

IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 and is applicable retroactively, with the implementation of pro-forma financial statements for comparative data for the 2022 financial year (different profit recognition rates between the two standards).

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 by modifying the principles for the valuation of the financial assets of insurers using the same rules as those applied by banks since January 1, 2018. It applies in the same way considering the temporary exemption enjoyed by insurance entities. Groupe BPCE has elected to apply the provisions of IFRS 9 for the 2022 comparative data.

IFRS 17 provides for the estimation at inception of the Contractual Service Margin (CSM) of a group of insurance contracts recognized in the balance sheet and which is then amortized in the income statement (in Net Banking Income) as and when the service is rendered. This margin takes account, in particular, of the related overheads.

Insurance liabilities are recognized at present value.

Income and expenses relating to ceded insurance and reinsurance contracts are presented separately in Net Banking Income.

General expenses relating to insurance contracts are presented by destination as a deduction from Net Banking Income.

The cost of credit risk on financial investments in insurance activities is isolated on a separate line in the insurance aggregates in Net Banking Income.

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 2022 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/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 contribution to 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.

Business line indicators – Oney Bank
BtoBtoC: payment and financing solutions distributed to customers through partners and retail chains. This line includes split payment, ‘Buy Now Pay Later’, and assigned credit solutions.

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 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.

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.
