Slawomir Krupa, the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“In the second quarter, our commercial and financial performance is significantly improving, in line with our 2024 targets and our 2026 roadmap. Our revenues are driven by an excellent quarter in Global Banking and Investor Solutions, a sustained performance of our international retail banking activities, higher margins at Ayvens, while the net interest income is recovering in French retail despite being still impacted by an increasing share of interest-bearing deposits and a slower loan origination in a muted environment. Growth in revenues, combined with our disciplined costs and risks management, allows us to significantly improve our cost-to-income ratio and profitability. Our capital and liquidity ratios remain very strong. We continue to move forward in an orderly and efficient manner with the implementation of our strategic roadmap, as demonstrated in the sustained development of BoursoBank which is exceeding the 6.5 million clients threshold, and as shown by the launch of the first phase of our 1 billion euros investment dedicated to the energy transition. We also continue to simplify our business portfolio and are determined to capitalize on those positive dynamics to pursue the successful execution of our strategic plan in order to build a more profitable bank and create more value over the long term for all our stakeholders.”

Societe Generale’s Board of Directors, which met under the chairmanship of Lorenzo Bini Smaghi on 31 July 2024, examined Societe Generale Group’s results for the second quarter and for the first half of 2024.
Net banking income
Net banking income stood at EUR 6.7 billion, up by +6.3% vs. Q2 23.
Revenues of French Retail, Private Banking and Insurance were up by +1.1% vs. Q2 23 and totalled EUR 2.1 billion in Q2 24. Still penalised by the residual impact of short-term hedges booked until the beginning of 2022 (around EUR -150 million over the quarter), net interest income continued to recover in Q2 24 (+10% vs. Q2 23) despite an increasing share of interest-bearing deposits and a muted loan environment in a competitive market on the other hand. Assets under management in the Private Banking and Insurance businesses increased sharply over the quarter, respectively by +6% and +7% in Q2 24 vs. Q2 23. Last, BoursoBank continued its sustained client acquisition with more than 300,000 new clients over the quarter, allowing to reach over 6.5 million clients at the end of Q2 24.
Global Banking and Investor Solutions registered a sharp +10.0% increase in revenues in Q2 24 relative to Q2 23. Revenues totalled EUR 2.6 billion over the quarter, driven by an excellent performance of Global Markets and Global Transaction & Payment Services’ activities, which increased respectively by +15.7% and +13.5% vs. Q2 23. On Global Markets, revenues of equity businesses grew by +24%, driven by high volumes in a conducive environment. Fixed income and currencies businesses increased by +3% in a context of spread tightening on rates and low volatility on foreign exchange. Financing and Advisory turned in a solid performance with revenues of EUR 879 million, up by 2.9% relative to an already high level in Q2 23. Revenues were driven by a strong quarter for securitization, a rebound in investment banking activities and ongoing sustained commercial momentum for financing activities. Global Transaction & Payment Services’ activities posted a +13.5% increase in revenues vs. Q2 23, driven by favourable market environment and a sustained commercial development across the board.
Mobility, International Retail Banking and Financial Services’ revenues were down by -2.3% vs. Q2 23. International Retail Banking’s revenues stood at EUR 1.0 billion, which is stable vs. Q2 23, notably on the back of a favourable environment in Romania and Africa. Revenues for the Mobility and Financial Services’ businesses contracted by -4.0% vs. Q2 23 owing to the high base effect of around EUR 200 million on Ayvens whose revenues notably benefited in Q2 23 from significant positive impacts associated with reduction in depreciation costs (around EUR +160 million in Q2 23), while they were negatively impacted by almost EUR 40 million in Q2 24 on the back of hyperinflation in Turkey. Excluding these items, Ayvens’ margins increased sharply over the quarter relative to Q1 24 and the used car sales results pursued their normalisation with an average result per unit at EUR 1,4804 in Q2 24.
The Corporate Centre recorded revenues of EUR -206 million in Q2 24.
Over the first half of the year, net banking income increased by +2.9% vs. H1 23.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses came to EUR 4,570 million in Q2 24, up +2.9% vs. Q2 23.
They include around EUR 105 million perimeter effect from the integration of LeasePlan and Bernstein activities. The slight increase in Q2 24 operating expenses is mainly explained by the increase of EUR 81 million in expenses related to variable remuneration and the employee profit sharing scheme in France, in line with the Group’s performance. Adjusted for these items, operating expenses decreased by EUR -56 million in Q2 24 vs. Q2 23.
The cost-to-income ratio stood at 68.4% in Q2 24, down vs. Q2 23 (70.6%) and Q1 24 (74.9%).
Over the first half of the year, operating expenses rose slightly (+0.6% vs. H1 23) and the cost-to-income ratio came to 71.6% (vs. 73.3% for H1 23).
Cost of risk
The cost of risk reached 26 basis points in Q2 24, or EUR 387 million, which is within the anticipated range of between 25 and 30 basis points for 2024. It breaks down as a EUR 501 million provision for doubtful loans (around 34 basis points), which includes the impact of specific market files in France, and a EUR -114 million reversal on performing loan outstandings (around -8 basis points).
At 30 June 2024, the Group’s provisions on performing loans amounted to EUR 3,178 million, down
EUR -394 million relative to 31 December 2023, mainly owing to the application of IFRS 5 accounting standards for activities under disposal.
The gross non-performing loan ratio stood at 3.0%5,6 at 30 June 2024. The net coverage ratio on the Group’s non-performing loans stood at 80%7 at 30 June 2024 (after netting of guarantees and collateral).
Group net income
Group net income stood at EUR 1,113 million for the quarter, up by +24% vs. Q2 23, corresponding to a Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE) of 7.4%.
Over the first half of the year, Group net income stood at EUR 1,793 million, equating to a Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE) of 5.8%.
ESG
Societe Generale continues to successfully execute its sustainability roadmap and has reached its EUR 300 billion sustainable finance target more than 18 months ahead of schedule (initial target set between the end of 2021 and the end of 2025).
The Group is consistently recognised by stakeholders for its leadership in ESG. It was recently rated as the best diversified bank worldwide by Moody's ESG (with a score of 72/100) and was awarded for the "Best Transition Strategy" by Euromoney for the third year in a row.
The recently announced acquisition of a majority stake in Reed Management SAS illustrates the Group’s ambitions in ESG. It bolsters the Group’s leadership in equity investment in emerging leaders of the energy transition. This acquisition represents a key milestone in the EUR 1 billion energy transition investment8.
Lastly, the Group continues to strengthen the support of its accompaniment of clients in their energy transitions, offering them the most innovative and comprehensive financing solutions and through new partnerships with relevant actors of the transition.

This document contains forward-looking statements relating to the targets and strategies of the Societe Generale Group. These forward-looking statements are based on a series of assumptions, both general and specific, in particular the application of accounting principles and methods in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted in the European Union, as well as the application of existing prudential regulations. These forward-looking statements have also been developed from scenarios based on a number of economic assumptions in the context of a given competitive and regulatory environment. The Group may be unable to: - anticipate all the risks, uncertainties or other factors likely to affect its business and to appraise their potential consequences; - evaluate the extent to which the occurrence of a risk or a combination of risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those provided in this document and the related presentation. Therefore, although Societe Generale believes that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including matters not yet known to it or its management or not currently considered material, and there can be no assurance that anticipated events will occur or that the objectives set out will actually be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, overall trends in general economic activity and in Societe Generale’s markets in particular, regulatory and prudential changes, and the success of Societe Generale’s strategic, operating and financial initiatives. More detailed information on the potential risks that could affect Societe Generale’s financial results can be found in the section “Risk Factors” in our Universal Registration Document filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (which is available on https://investors.societegenerale.com/en).

9. APPENDIX 2: METHODOLOGY
1 - The financial information presented for the second quarter and first half 2024 was examined by the Board of Directors on July 31st, 2024 and has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted in the European Union and applicable at that date. The limited review procedures on the condensed interim statement at 30 June 2024 carried by the Statutory Auditors are currently underway.
2 - Net banking income
The pillars’ net banking income is defined on page 42 of Societe Generale’s 2024 Universal Registration Document. The terms “Revenues” or “Net Banking Income” are used interchangeably. They provide a normalised measure of each pillar’s net banking income taking into account the normative capital mobilised for its activity.
3 - Operating expenses
Operating expenses correspond to the “Operating Expenses” as presented in note 5 to the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at December 31st, 2023. The term “costs” is also used to refer to Operating Expenses. The Cost/Income Ratio is defined on page 42 of Societe Generale’s 2024 Universal Registration Document.
4 - Cost of risk in basis points, coverage ratio for doubtful outstandings
The cost of risk is defined on pages 43 and 770 of Societe Generale’s 2024 Universal Registration Document. This indicator makes it possible to assess the level of risk of each of the pillars as a percentage of balance sheet loan commitments, including operating leases.
| In EURm | Q2 24 | Q2 23 | H1 24 | H1 23 | |
| French Retail, Private Banking and Insurance | Net Cost Of Risk | 173 | 109 | 420 | 198 |
| Gross loan Outstandings | 236,044 | 249,843 | 237,219 | 251,266 | |

| Cost of Risk in bp | 26 | 12 | 27 | 12 |
The gross coverage ratio for doubtful outstandings is calculated as the ratio of provisions recognised in respect of the credit risk to gross outstandings identified as in default within the meaning of the regulations, without taking account of any guarantees provided. This coverage ratio measures the maximum residual risk associated with outstandings in default (“doubtful”).
5 - ROE, ROTE, RONE
The notions of ROE (Return on Equity) and ROTE (Return on Tangible Equity), as well as their calculation methodology, are specified on pages 43 and 44 of Societe Generale’s 2024 Universal Registration Document. This measure makes it possible to assess Societe Generale’s return on equity and return on tangible equity.
RONE (Return on Normative Equity) determines the return on average normative equity allocated to the Group’s businesses, according to the principles presented on page 44 of Societe Generale’s 2024 Universal Registration Document.
Group net income used for the ratio numerator is the accounting Group net income adjusted for “Interest paid and payable to holders if deeply subordinated notes and undated subordinated notes, issue premium amortisation”. For ROTE, income is also restated for goodwill impairment.
Details of the corrections made to the accounting equity in order to calculate ROE and ROTE for the period are given in the table below:

8 - The Societe Generale Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital is calculated in accordance with applicable CRR2/CRD5 rules. The fully loaded solvency ratios are presented pro forma for current earnings, net of dividends, for the current financial year, unless specified otherwise. When there is reference to phased-in ratios, these do not include the earnings for the current financial year, unless specified otherwise. The leverage ratio is also calculated according to applicable CRR2/CRD5 rules including the phased-in following the same rationale as solvency ratios.
9 - Funded balance sheet, loan to deposit ratio
The funded balance sheet is based on the Group financial statements. It is obtained in two steps:
- A first step aiming at reclassifying the items of the financial statements into aggregates allowing for a more economic reading of the balance sheet. Main reclassifications:
Insurance: grouping of the accounting items related to insurance within a single aggregate in both assets and liabilities.
Customer loans: include outstanding loans with customers (net of provisions and write-downs, including net lease financing outstanding and transactions at fair value through profit and loss); excludes financial assets reclassified under loans and receivables in accordance with the conditions stipulated by IFRS 9 (these positions have been reclassified in their original lines).
Wholesale funding: Includes interbank liabilities and debt securities issued. Financing transactions have been allocated to medium/long-term resources and short-term resources based on the maturity of outstanding, more or less than one year.
Reclassification under customer deposits of the share of issues placed by French Retail Banking networks (recorded in medium/long-term financing), and certain transactions carried out with counterparties equivalent to customer deposits (previously included in short term financing).
Deduction from customer deposits and reintegration into short-term financing of certain transactions equivalent to market resources.
- A second step aiming at excluding the contribution of insurance subsidiaries, and netting derivatives, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing/lending, accruals and “due to central banks”.
The Group loan/deposit ratio is determined as the division of the customer loans by customer deposits as presented in the funded balance sheet.
NB (1) The sum of values contained in the tables and analyses may differ slightly from the total reported due to rounding rules.
(2) All the information on the results for the period (notably: press release, downloadable data, presentation slides and supplement) is available on Societe Generale’s website www.societegenerale.com in the “Investor” section.
10. APPENDIX 3 : CHANGE IN NAME OF INTERNATIONAL RETAIL BANKING, MOBILITY AND LEASING SERVICES’ ACTIVITIES
The name of International Retail Banking, Mobility and Leasing Services’ activities was changed as follows: Mobility, International Retail Banking and Financial Services. This change in name has no impact on historical financial results of the pillar.
11. APPENDIX 4: PUBLICATION OF NEW QUARTERLY SERIES
Societe Generale is reporting new quarterly series mainly reflecting the impacts from the organisation changes operated within Global Banking and Investor Solutions’ activities.
In compliance with the strategic goal of a more asset-light capital model, the Group set up in the second quarter 2024 a common sales platform between teams working in Financing & Advisory and Global Markets activities to boost the distribution of assets held on the balance sheet. This change resulted in, on the one hand, the gathering of revenues and costs within a single entity and, on the other, a change in their share between Financing and Advisory and Global Markets.
Also, a few other minor adjustments have been made on the share of revenues and costs within some activities.
2022, 2023 and Q1 24 quarterly series were restated accordingly and are available on Societe Générale website (the data of this press release have not been audited).
