Natixis' underlying net revenues are up +3% YoY driven by a continued strong momentum in AWM (+7% YoY), Insurance (+9% YoY), Payments (+16% YoY) and Coface (+8% YoY). CIB revenues are up YoY at constant scope (excl. CVA/DVA).

Underlying expenses are up, partly due to FTE increase and continued investments in digital and transformation projects foreseen in the New Dimension plan trajectory. Reported expenses include a ~€10m one-off charge from Ostrum operational efficiency plan while ~€20m of annualized costs from the cash equity are still being borne (until 1H19) with no revenue contribution. The underlying cost/income ratio[5] is up 1.3pp vs. 3Q17 at 71.3%.

The underlying pre-tax profit rose +4% YoY in 3Q18, including a significant reduction in loan loss provisioning, almost halved YoY. Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), the businesses' underlying cost of risk worked out to 18bps in 3Q18.

The tax rate reached ~28% in 3Q18, down vs. 3Q17. Minority interests are flat YoY.

Net income (group share), adjusted for IFRIC 21 and excluding exceptional items, came out at €388m in 3Q18, up +5% YoY. Accounting for exceptional items (-€17m net of tax in 3Q18) and IFRIC 21 impact (+€50m in 3Q18), the reported net income (group share) increased +10% YoY in 3Q18 at €422m.

Natixis delivered an 11.6% underlying RoTE1 excluding IFRIC 21 impact and the businesses' underlying RoE1 reached 12.6%, up +130bps and +20bps respectively vs. 3Q17. Natixis' earnings per share1 are up +11% YoY in 3Q18.

Natixis reiterates its strategic and financial ambitions communicated to the market on September 12, 2018. In order to accelerate growth and value creation towards and beyond its New Dimension ambitions, Natixis could deploy up to €2.5bn towards investments over 2018-2020 (~€0.4bn already invested). Such investments would primarily be in Asset & Wealth Management (e.g. affiliates to complement the existing offering, expansion in Asia and in alternatives, life insurance assets) and secondarily in Payments, to take part in the consolidation of the industry (e.g. acquisitions, asset combination), and in CIB (e.g. M&A boutiques). On the Insurance side, as stated in the November 2017 New Dimension strategic plan, Natixis would contemplate the takeover of the Non-life new business for Banques Populaires' private customers. Besides, subject to the completion of the project to sell Natixis' retail banking activities to BPCE SA, the payment of a special dividend up to €1.5bn remains Natixis' base case since no material strategic opportunity has been identified to date. Natixis also reiterates what it said in a press release dated October 11, 2018 and confirms that it has no plan for a takeover bid on Ingénico.

Natixis' underlying net revenues are up +6% YoY (at constant exchange rate) across businesses, driven by a strong momentum in AWM (+14% YoY), Insurance (+8% YoY), Payments (+15% YoY) and Coface. CIB revenues are up YoY at constant exchange rate (excl. cash equity and CVA/DVA) on a high 9M17.

Underlying expenses are well under control, translating into a 2pp positive jaws effect at constant exchange rate excluding SRF contribution and despite 9M18 being a period of investments. The underlying cost/income ratio[6] is down 0.2pp vs. 9M17 at 67.9%. The underlying gross operating income is up +6% YoY at constant exchange rate vs. 9M17.

The underlying pre-tax profit is up +6% YoY including a significant improvement in loan loss provisioning, down ~€80m vs. 9M17, reflecting our model. Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), the businesses' underlying cost of risk worked out to 19bps in 9M18.

The tax rate reached ~30% in 9M18, in line with full-year 2018 guidance and down from ~34% in 9M17. Minority interests are up YoY due to a higher contribution from Coface and some European AM affiliates.

Net income (group share), adjusted for IFRIC 21 and excluding exceptional items, came out at €1.4bn in 9M18, up +8% YoY and equivalent to ~160bps of annual capital generation. Accounting for exceptional items (-€21m net of tax in 9M18) and IFRIC 21 impact (-€50m in 9M18), the reported net income (group share) increased +15% YoY at €1.3bn in 9M18.

Natixis delivered a 14.1% underlying RoTE1 excluding IFRIC 21 impact and the businesses' underlying RoE1 reached 15.4%, up +190bps and +120bps respectively vs. 9M17. The profitability is improving across all business lines.

Underlying net revenues from Asset & Wealth Management (AWM) are up a significant +14% YoY at constant exchange rate in 9M18, well above the New Dimension target. Asset management underlying revenues increase by +10% YoY at constant exchange rate in North America (€1.2bn) and +22% in Europe (€747m) over 9M18. Wealth management underlying revenues are up +11% YoY in 9M18.

The Asset management fee rate excluding performance fees (€58m in 3Q18 and €177m in 9M18, ~8% of 9M18 AM revenues) stood above 31bps in 3Q18 (+1.4bps YoY and flat QoQ) and rose both in Europe to 16bps (+1.5bps vs. 3Q17 and +0.9bps excl. Life insurance) and North America to 40bps (+0.4bps YoY).

Asset management net inflows reached +€5bn in 3Q18, the 8th consecutive quarter of positive net inflows. Continuation of the 1H18 trend with a positive mix shift and an average fee rate for gross inflows on LT products more than offsetting lower-margin equivalent gross outflows. Diversification, especially towards Alternatives, remains a key asset to navigate market volatility. Success of high-margin strategies at H2O, DNCA (Alpha Bonds) and Loomis (Credit). Net inflows of +€20bn in 9M18, mainly on LT products with notably: Equity strategies: +€9bn, driven by North America (at Harris ) ; Fixed Income strategies: +€2bn, driven by Europe (H2O) ; Balanced strategies: +€4bn, driven by Europe (H2O, Ostrum, Seeyond, Dorval).

Asset management AuM reached €861bn as at September 30, 2018 of which €420bn in Europe and €425bn in North America. Over the quarter, AuM progressed through net inflows, a positive market effect of +€6bn, a positive FX impact of +€2bn and a positive scope effect of +€2bn (acquisition of MV Credit in the UK finalized during 3Q18). In 3Q18, average AuM at constant exchange rate increased by +11% YoY in Europe (excl. Life insurance) and by +5% in North America. Wealth management AuM reached €33.8bn[8] with €2.1bn of positive net inflows over 9M18.

The underlying RoE1 of AWM reached 14.6% in 9M18, up +220bps YoY, with a positive jaws effect of 5pp and an underlying gross operating income up +26% YoY at constant exchange rate.

The Ostrum Asset Management operational efficiency plan is expected to generate ~€20m of annual cost saves, to be fully captured at end-2019. 3Q18 reported figures include a ~€10m restructuring charge (no further charge to expect).

Natixis announces the acquisition of Massena Partners, key player across the UHNW space in France. Massena is active across a wide range of asset classes, including alternatives (real estate, private equity, etc.) and features €2.3bn of assets under management. The impact on Natixis' CET1 ratio is estimated at around 5bps and such an acquisition reinforces Natixis Wealth Management's ambitions to refocus on HNW and UHNW clients after the announced disposal of Selection 1818.

Underlying net revenues from Corporate & Investment Banking (excl. CVA/DVA) are up YoY both in 3Q18 and 9M18 at constant exchange rate excluding the cash equity (€26m contribution in 9M17). Strong performance from Global finance, up +13% YoY at constant exchange rate in 9M18, offsetting Global markets YoY evolution on a high 9M17.

Global markets revenues are up +1% YoY in 3Q18 at constant scope (€9m cash equity contribution in 3Q17), excluding CVA/DVA. FICT revenues are flat YoY in 3Q18 driven by good activity levels across Credit and FX and resilient Rates amidst unfavorable market conditions. Equity revenues are up +3% YoY in 3Q18 at constant scope with cash equity no longer contributing to revenues as of 3Q18 (closure of the US and UK desks in 1Q18 though France still contributing up to July 1st, 2018). 3Q18 saw a strong momentum in equity derivatives, especially in France, balancing challenging market conditions in Asia.

Global finance revenues are up +6% YoY in 3Q18 and +13% at constant exchange rate in 9M18, driven by our sectorial approach. Strong performance across Energy & Natural Resources (+13% YoY in 3Q18) and Real Assets (+11% YoY in 3Q18). Continued dynamic new loan production (+33% YoY in 3Q18) driven by ENR (~x2 YoY) and RA (+21% YoY).

Investment banking and M&A revenues are down -7% YoY in 3Q18 given a soft French/European primary market for ECM. 3Q18 saw a good performance from DCM and low activity levels in M&A though there is a dynamic pipeline for 4Q18.

The proportion of revenues generated from service fees is slightly up in 3Q18 vs. 3Q17[10].

Underlying expenses are well under control and up <2% YoY in 9M18 at constant exchange rate (flat at current exchange rate). Cash equity activities are no longer contributing to the top-line in 3Q18 though ~€20m of annualized costs are still being borne and set to disappear as of 3Q19.

The underlying gross operating income, excluding CVA/DVA, is down mid-single digit in 3Q18 and in 9M18 at constant exchange rate. The underlying cost of risk is improving through our focus on O2D and our solid risk management.

The underlying RoE1 of CIB improved +30bps YoY in 9M18 to 14.4%. RWA are down -1% QoQ and flat YoY. The Net revenues/RWA ratio at 9M18 is in line with the New Dimension 2020 target despite 3Q seasonality.

Natixis reinforces its positioning on ESG through its Green & Sustainable Hub, launched in 2017 which generated €17m[11] revenues in 9M18. In 2018, Natixis has also been named "The most innovative investment bank for climate changes and sustainability" by The Banker and received the Euromoney Institutional Investor "#1 Best Credit Research Green Bonds/ESG" prize.

Adjusting for this impact, underlying expenses grew by +7% YoY in 9M18, translating into a positive jaws effect.

Appendices

Note on methodology:

The results at 30/09/2018 were examined by the board of directors at their meeting on 08/11/2018.
Figures at 30/09/2018 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[19]
  • Within CIB:
    • Global finance and Investment banking[20] 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%.

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 30/09/2018
Goodwill 3,804
Restatement for Coface minority interests (162)
Restatement for AWM deferred tax liability & others (290)
Restated goodwill 3,352


In €m 30/09/2018
Intangible assets 773
Restatement for Coface minority interest & others (44)
Restated intangible assets 729

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, as well as July 2018 employee increase.

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) as well as July 2018 employee increase.

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 9M18 take into account tree quarters 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
