François Riahi, Natixis Chief Executive Officer, said: "As in the 1st quarter of 2018, Natixis posted solid results in the 2nd quarter, in line with the objectives of our New Dimension strategic plan. The RoE is increasing in all the business lines. Our Asset management business grew strongly with net inflows of €10 billion, positive for the 7th consecutive quarter. Our Corporate & Investment Banking businesses continued to record solid revenues and a high level of profitability despite a mixed quarter in Global markets due to a high basis of comparison in the 2nd quarter of 2017 and a volatile market environment. Global finance activities are gaining market share with new loan production up sharply, demonstrating the relevance of our sector-based approach. Insurance remains a fast growth driver for Natixis while our Payments businesses keep up their positive momentum with net revenues up 15%."

Underlying net revenues from Corporate & Investment Banking at €965m were down a modest -3% YoY at constant exchange rate in 2Q18 (-5% current) and -5% excluding the CVA/DVA desk (-8% current).
Global markets underlying revenues were down -15% YoY at constant exchange rate in 2Q18 vs. a historically high 2Q17. At constant exchange rate, FICT revenues decreased by -21% YoY (-23% current) driven by Rates and with a soft April/May followed by a good recovery in June. Natixis' RoE-focused strategy translated into a disciplined and selective approach to business undertaken. Equity revenues were down -15% YoY at constant exchange rate (-16% current), driven by a soft performance from Equity derivatives in Asia and the closure of the US and UK cash equity desks following the Natixis/Oddo-BHF partnership announcement (effective as of July 01, 2018).
Global finance underlying revenues rose +16% YoY at constant exchange rate in 2Q18 (+11% current) with a strong performance from Real assets across Real estate, Aviation and Infrastructure. New loan production improved +42% YoY in 2Q18 and was combined with solid distribution rates (e.g. 12% average final take for US Real estate). Underlying revenues generated by Investment banking and M&A reached €85m in 2Q18 slightly higher than 1Q18 and down -29% YoY at constant exchange rate (-30% current) mostly due to a soft French primary market for ECM and several "jumbo" deals closed in 2Q17.
CIB delivered a +100bps YoY increase in underlying RoE(1) to 17.1% in 2Q18.
Natixis expands its M&A advisory footprint through strategic investments finalized in 2Q18: Fenchurch Advisory Partners in the UK, Vermilion Partners in China, and Clipperton in France.

Underlying expenses came out at €3.4bn in 1H18, up +2% YoY. Excluding the SRF contribution (€164m in 1H18 vs. €122m in 1H17) they only increase by +1% vs. 1H17. This translates into a 1pp positive jaws effect (2pp at constant exchange rate and 3pp at constant exchange rate excluding the SRF contribution) and a 90bps YoY decrease in the underlying cost/income ratio(1) at 66.3%. The underlying gross operating income, at €1.6bn, rose +5% YoY vs. 1H17 (+10% constant).

Underlying net revenues from Corporate & Investment Banking excluding the CVA/DVA desk at €1.9bn were flat at constant exchange rate vs. 1H17 (-4% current) with the performance from Global finance (+17% at constant exchange rate) offsetting softer Global markets.
Global markets (excl. CVA/DVA desk) underlying revenues were down -11% YoY at constant exchange rate in 1H18 vs. a historically high 1H17. At constant exchange rate, FICT revenues dropped -10% YoY (-13% current) with a dynamic first quarter followed by one marked by lower activity. Natixis' RoE-focused strategy translated into a disciplined and selective approach to business undertaken. At constant exchange rate, Equity revenues were down -14% YoY (-17% current) driven by a soft performance from Equity derivatives in Asia in 2Q18 and the closure of the US and UK cash equity desks following the Natixis/Oddo-BHF partnership announcement.
Global finance underlying revenues rose +17% YoY at constant exchange rate in 1H18 (+9% current) driven by Real assets (>70% growth). New loan production improved +36% YoY. Underlying revenues generated by Investment banking and M&A reached €168m in 1H18, down -15% YoY at constant exchange rate (-17% current) mostly due to a soft French primary market for ECM and several "jumbo" deals closed in 1H17.

Appendices
Note on methodology:
The results at 30/06/2018 were examined by the board of directors at their meeting on 02/08/2018.
Figures at 30/06/2018 are presented in accordance with IAS/IFRS accounting standards and IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) rulings as adopted in the European Union and applicable at this date.
In view of the new strategic plan New dimension, the 2017 quarterly series have been restated for the following changes in business lines organization and in standards for implementation in 4Q17 as if these changes had occurred on 1st January 2017.
The new businesses organization mainly considers:
- The split of Investment Solutions into two new divisions: Insurance and Asset & Wealth Management(1)
- Within CIB:
- Global finance and Investment banking(2) are now two separate business lines
- Creation of Global Securities & Financing (GSF), a joint-venture between FIC and Equity derivatives. The joint-venture includes Securities Financing Group (SFG, previously in FIC) and Equity Finance (previously in Equity). Revenues of GSF are equally split between Equity & FIC
- Transfer of short term treasury activities run by Treasury & collateral management department from FIC-T in CIB to Financial Management Division in 04/01/2017 in accordance with the French banking law. To ensure comparability, in this presentation CIB refers to CIB including Treasury & collateral management
-
- Within SFS, the Payments division is split out of Financial services and reported separately within the SFS business line
- The removal of the Financial investments division and its inclusion within the Corporate center
The following changes in standards have been included:
- Increase in capital allocation to our business lines from 10% to 10.5% of the average Basel 3 risk weighted assets
- Reduction in normative capital remuneration rate to 2% (compared to 3% previously)
Business line performances using Basel 3 standards:
- The performances of Natixis business lines are presented using Basel 3 standards. Basel 3 risk-weighted assets are based on CRR-CRD4 rules as published on June 26th, 2013 (including the Danish compromise treatment for qualified entities).
- Natixis' RoTE is calculated by taking as the numerator net income (group share) excluding DSN interest expenses on preferred shares after tax. Equity capital is average shareholders' equity group share as defined by IFRS, after payout of dividends, excluding average hybrid debt, average intangible assets and average goodwill.
- Natixis' RoE: Results used for calculations are net income (group share), deducting DSN interest expenses on preferred shares after tax. Equity capital is average shareholders' equity group share as defined by IFRS, after payout of dividends, excluding average hybrid debt, and excluding unrealized or deferred gains and losses recognized in equity (OCI).
- RoE for business lines is calculated based on normative capital to which are added goodwill and intangible assets for the business line. Normative capital allocation to Natixis' business lines is carried out based on 10.5% of their average Basel 3 risk-weighted assets. Business lines benefit from remuneration of normative capital allocated to them. By convention, the remuneration rate on normative capital is maintained at 2%.
- Asset management includes Private equity (2) including M&A business
Net book value: calculated by taking shareholders' equity group share (minus dividend declared but not paid yet), restated for hybrids and capital gains on reclassification of hybrids as equity instruments. Net tangible book value is adjusted for goodwill relating to equity affiliates, restated goodwill and intangible assets as follows:
| In €m | 30/06/2018 |
| Goodwill | 3,667 |
| Restatement for Coface minority interests | (163) |
| Restatement for AWM deferred tax liability & others | (288) |
| Restated goodwill | 3,215 |
| In €m | 30/06/2018 |
| Intangible assets | 765 |
| Restatement for Coface minority interest & others | (46) |
| Restated intangible assets | 719 |
Own senior debt fair-value adjustment: calculated using a discounted cash-flow model, contract by contract, including parameters such as swap curves and revaluation spread (based on the BPCE reoffer curve). Adoption of IFRS 9 standards, on November 22, 2016, authorizing the early application of provisions relating to own credit risk as of FY2016 closing. All impacts since the beginning of the financial year 2016 are recognized in equity, even those that had impacted the income statement in the interim financial statements for March, June and September 2016
Regulatory (phased-in) CET1 capital and ratio: based on CRR-CRD4 rules as reported on June 26, 2013, including the Danish compromise - phased in. Presentation excluding current financial year's earnings and accrued dividend (based on a 60% payout ratio) as of 2Q18.
Fully-loaded CET1 capital and ratio: based on CRR-CRD4 rules as reported on June 26, 2013, including the Danish compromise - without phase-in. Presentation including current financial year's earnings and accrued dividend (based on a 60% payout ratio)
Leverage ratio: based on delegated act rules, without phase-in (presentation including current financial year's earnings and accrued dividend based on a 60% payout ratio) and with the hypothesis of a roll-out for non-eligible subordinated notes under Basel 3 by eligible notes. Repo transactions with central counterparties are offset in accordance with IAS 32 rules without maturity or currency criteria. Leverage ratio disclosed including the effect of intragroup cancelation - pending ECB authorization
Exceptional items: figures and comments on this press release are based on Natixis and its businesses' income statements excluding non-operating and/or exceptional items detailed page 2. Figures and comments that are referred to as 'underlying' exclude such exceptional items. Natixis and its businesses' income statements including these items are available in the appendix of this press release
Restatement for IFRIC 21 impact: the cost/income ratio, the RoE and the RoTE excluding IFRIC 21 impact calculation in 1H18 take into account half of the annual duties and levies concerned by this accounting rule. The impact for the quarter is calculated by difference with the former quarter.
Earnings capacity: net income (group share) restated for exceptional items and the IFRIC 21 impact
Expenses: sum of operating expenses and Depreciation, amortization and impairment on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
