“Natixis’ results in the first half of 2020 were impacted by the coronavirus crisis. In an unprecedented context marked by an increased cost of risk, the impact of lockdown measures on economic activity, and extreme market volatility, Natixis maintained positive earnings capacity and a very comfortable capital position. This demonstrates the strength of our business model and, notably in the second quarter of the year, the flexibility of our cost base, in line with the objectives of the New Dimension strategic plan. The impact of certain one-off factors such as the suspension of dividends and the mark to market of assets and liabilities, some of which are expected to reverse over time, has been integrated into our results. However, the crisis is not over, and the cost of risk is likely to remain elevated over the coming quarters. We will draw on the strength of our businesses to accelerate Natixis’ transformation through structural changes. We are launching a project to adjust the setup of our Equity Derivatives business towards our key strategic clients and are implementing significant measures to reduce expenses.”

*Underlying net revenues *are down -25% YoY in 2Q20. They are impacted by the full effect of the late 1Q market dislocation (mainly Asset management) and lockdown measures (mainly Payments) as well as continued dividend cancellations and uncertainty regarding the shape of the economic recovery (mainly CIB). Market bounce-back during 2Q allowing for some reversal of the 1Q COVID-19 related impacts that were reflecting a snapshot view as at March 30. Overall, 2Q20 was thus notably impacted by the following lumpy items for a total amount of ~(106)m:

· *AWM*: €(17)m mark-down impact on the seed money portfolio (post overlay) with €25m of mark-ups on its listed part, recovering from end-March levels, offset by €(42)m of mark-downs on its unlisted part (real estate, private equity) ;
· *CIB*: €(143)m impact from dividend mark-downs across Equity following a second leg of corporates’ 2019 dividend cancellation. Limited impact from CVA/DVA (Credit/Debit Value Adjustment): €1m ;
· *Corporate Center*: €53m FVA (Funding Value Adjustment) impact, largely reversing from 1Q.

*Underlying expenses *are down -11% YoY reflecting the cost flexibility embedded in the Asset management multiboutique model (-14% YoY) as well as ongoing cost discipline across the board, notably reflected through the CIB and the Corporate Center cost bases (-8% YoY and more than -40% YoY respectively).* The* *underlying cost/income ratio^1* stands at 83.5% in 2Q20 vs. 70.5% in 2Q19.

*2Q20 underlying cost of risk *reflecting higher impairments mainly across energy exposures as well as some IFRS 9 provisioning following the latest SSM macroeconomic update. Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), *the business’ underlying cost of risk* worked out to 162bps in 2Q20 (~45bps excluding the COVID-19 related impacts such as IFRS9, fraudulent credit counterparties or provisioning on airlines).

*Coface net contribution *based on a ~13% residual stake (vs. ~42% in 1H19) reached €2m in 2Q20.

*Net income (group share), adjusted for IFRIC 21 and excluding exceptional items reached €(43)m in 2Q20. Accounting for exceptional items (€(61)m net of tax in 2Q20) and IFRIC 21 impact (€47m in 2Q20) the reported net income (group share) in 2Q20 is at €(57)m.*

*Natixis’ underlying RoTE**^1* reached (2.2)% in 2Q20 excl. IFRIC 21.

The sensitivity test that had been carried out for the 1Q20 results has been updated with data as at end-June 2020. This would notably include the projection of a ~10% drop in the 2020 French GDP (~5% recovery in 2021) and severe assumptions across sectors of expertise incl. oil price ~$40/bbl. and significant haircuts to asset prices on real assets (e.g. ~45% for aircrafts and ~15% for real estate).

^1See note on methodology. Excluding exceptional items and excluding IFRIC 21

In such a scenario, *the conclusions presented in 1Q20 remain unchanged regarding the full-year 2020 cost of risk*. In addition, the exit from shale Oil & Gaz could, on the long run, have a structuring positive impact on Natixis’ cost of risk of around €20m each year (on the basis of average S3 provisioning over 2014-2019).

Natixis’ exposure to the *Oil & Gas* sector stood at ~€10.2bn of net EAD^1 (Exposure at Default) as at 30/06/2020 (~60% Investment Grade) of which ~€2.5bn across independent producers and service companies which have a more limited absorption capacity of lower oil price (o/w ~€0.9bn in the US, exit from this portfolio has been announced last May 18, 2020). As at 30/06/2020, the exposure to *Aviation* stood at ~€4.5bn of net EAD^1, was well diversified across more than 30 countries (none of which exceeding 25% of the exposure), secured for ~75% and majority Investment Grade. The exposure to *Tourism & Leisure* stood at ~€1.9bn of net EAD as at 30/06/2020, with 92% being in the EMEA region, geared towards industry leaders and with limited non-performing assets (~2%).

*Underlying net revenues *are down -18% YoY in 1H20. They are impacted by the following lumpy items, all directly or indirectly linked to the COVID-19 context for a total amount of ~€(396)m:

· *AWM*: €(51)m mark-down impact on the seed money portfolio (post overlay) including both listed and private assets;
· *CIB*: €(54)m CVA/DVA (Credit/Debit Value Adjustment) impact due to spreads widening on the back of perceived counterparty credit risk deterioration as at June 30, 2020 vs. December 31, 2019. €(273)m impact from dividend mark-downs across Equity following corporates’ 2019 dividend cancellation and the related sharp moves of dividend future curves;
· *Corporate Center*: €(18)m FVA (Funding Value Adjustment) impact due to the YTD increase in funding costs on the market ;

*Underlying expenses *are down -5% YoY (-6% YoY at constant exchange rate), demonstrating Natixis’ ability to adjust to its environment and with further cost saves to be realized, notably in Asset Management (see page 7). Natixis’ *underlying cost income ratio^1* reaches 82.6% in 1H20 (71.8% in 1H19).

*Underlying cost of risk *mainly reflects higher IFRS 9 provisioning as well as cases of fraud, essentially across energy exposures and increasing non-performing loans. Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), *the business’ underlying cost of risk* worked out to 145bps in 1H20 (~45bps excluding the COVID-19 direct impacts and frauds).

*Coface net contribution *based on a ~13% residual stake (vs. ~42% in 1H19) reached €3m in 1H20.

*Net income (group share), adjusted for IFRIC 21 and excluding exceptional items reached +€17m in 1H20. Accounting for exceptional items (€(184)m net of tax in 1H20) and IFRIC 21 impact (€(94)m in 1H20) the reported net income (group share) in 1H20 is at €(261)m.*

*Natixis’ underlying RoTE**^1* reached (0.7)% in 1H20 excl. IFRIC 21.

*Asset management underlying net revenues* are down -24% YoY in 2Q20 (-13% YoY in 1H20). They have been impacted in 2Q20 by €(42)m mark-downs on the unlisted seed money portfolio, partly offset by recoveries of €25m on the listed one post 1Q20 impacts (vs. overall contribution of €27m in 2Q19). AM gross base fees are down -12% YoY with expenses down -14% YoY, demonstrating the strong cost flexibility embedded in the multiboutique model.

*The Asset management overall fee rate excluding performance fees* has been impacted an unfavorable mix effect (especially in April and May) following the performance differential between equity and bond markets in 1Q20. The overall fee rate stood at ~28bps in June with some improvement throughout the quarter thanks to the equity market rebound flowing through the average AuM. For European affiliates, it stood above 15bps (above 27bps excl. Life Insurance General Accounts) and for North American affiliates it stood at ~35bps (lower share of average AuM at Harris). *Asset management performance fees *reached €22m in 2Q20 vs. €138m in 2Q19.

*Asset management net inflows* reached ~€16bn, best quarter since 1Q15. ~€7bn net inflows coming towards North American affiliates (notably through good traction with Asian clients: ~€5bn of net inflows) essentially across fixed income and growth equity strategies. Strong momentum for Loomis and WCM. Vast majority of European affiliates experiencing positive net inflows with continued strong success e.g. for Mirova.

*Asset management AuM* reached €906bn as at June 30, 2020, up +9% QoQ. Positive market effect of +€72bn, negative FX & perimeter effect of €(10)bn, net inflows as described above.

*2020 outlook*:

· 3Q20 starting with a level of AuM largely in line with its 3Q19 average level;
· New cost savings identified of ~€100m by end-2022 (~€50m by end-2020 o/w majority in 2H20 and ~€80m by end-2021). In order to achieve such savings, restructuring costs of ~€45m in 2H20 and ~€25m in 2021 will be implemented.

*Underlying net revenues *are down -39% YoY in 2Q20 and -27% YoY in 1H20.

*Global markets: Equity *revenues at €(174)m due to €(143)m of dividend mark-downs, together with low client activity during lockdown and higher hedging costs. No more dividend cancellation risk for 2H20. *Project to adjust EQD positioning to focus on Groupe BPCE retail networks and Natixis’ key strategic clients. Run-rate for Equity revenues could reach ~€300m per annum post review implementation, also leading to additional cost saves coming through.*

*Global markets: FICT *revenues at €279m, slightly down in 2Q20 vs. a good 2Q19 with overall resilient client activity despite a less favorable environment vs. 1Q20, notably for FX.

*Global finance*: Net revenues up +8% QoQ and largely stable YoY with high levels of new production driven by the support brought to the French economy and higher portfolio revenues offsetting lower syndication fees. Robust dynamics across Infrastructure and Europe Real Estate making up for lower contributions from Aviation and US Real Estate.

*Investment banking/M&A*: Net revenues up +11% YoY driven by IB and DCM more specifically with strong footprint development across SSA and FIG together with continued support to French corporates (active in ~80% of CAC 40 issuances). Resilient contribution from M&A boutiques, although lower than in 2Q19, with good revenue generation e.g. from PJ Solomon and Natixis Partners.

*Underlying expenses *are down -8% YoY in 2Q20 and -6% YoY in 1H20 featuring a continued strong discipline on costs that is expected to be pursued.

*Market RWA* are expected to come down following the 2Q20 technical spike linked to the VaR calculation.

*Underlying net revenues* are impacted by a positive €53m FVA (Funding Value Adjustment) impact in 2Q20, recovering from the €(71)m negative adjustment taken in 1Q20. As a reminder Funding Value Adjustments materialize through the P&L due to the change in the cost of funding above the risk-free rate for uncollateralized derivative transactions. Such adjustments can be quite volatile and tend to normalize over time.

*Underlying expenses *are down more than -40% YoY in 2Q20 and more than -30% YoY in 1H20 (excl. SRF), notably reflecting cost saving efforts being carried out across the organization.

*APPENDICES*

*Note on methodology:*

*The results at 30/06/2020 were examined by the board of directors at their meeting on 03/08/2020.*

Figures at 30/06/2020 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

*Press release dated 20/04/2020 “Preparation of the 1Q20 Financial Communication”*

The 2019 quarterly series have been updated following the February 25, 2020 announcement regarding the sale by Natixis of a 29.5% stake in Coface to Arch Capital Group. This announcement notably translates into the following:

· Natixis losing exclusive control over Coface in the first quarter of 2020 and the recognition of a capital loss at the date of such a loss of control. It is estimated at €112m based on the 2020 sale price;
· Application of the IAS 28 standard “Investments in associates and joint ventures” to the residual stake held by Natixis in Coface. For financial communication purposes, the contribution of Coface to Natixis' income statement is isolated on a line "Coface net contribution" (based on a ~42% ownership over 2019 and of ~13% as of the first quarter of 2020) and the *Financial investments* division no longer exists;
· In addition, the value of the retained stake (accounted for under the equity method) will be impacted by a €7m impairment due to the drop in the value of Coface related to the context prevailing at March 31, 2020. For financial communication purposes, these two items – capital loss and residual stake impairment – will be classified as exceptional items in the first quarter of 2020 and both presented within the line "Coface net contribution” (*see page 16 for the reconciliation of the restated figures with the accounting view*);
· The prudential treatment applied to Natixis' stake in Coface resulted in a ~€2bn risk-weighted asset release in the first quarter 2020. Upon closing of the transaction, ~€1.4bn of additional risk-weighted assets should be released i.e. ~€3.5bn in total;
· The remaining *Financial investments*, namely Natixis Algeria as well as the private equity activities managed in run-off, are no longer isolated and are reallocated to the Corporate center, which, as a reminder, gathers the holding and the centralized balance sheet management functions of Natixis.
            
*The equity method value of Coface will be re-assessed every quarter depending, among other, on the evolution of the economic context and any change in such a value will be reflected in the P&L line “Coface net contribution”.*

*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 (the associated tax benefit being already accounted for in the net income following the adoption of IAS 12 amendment). Equity capital is average shareholders’ equity group share as defined by IFRS, after payout of dividends^1, 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 (the associated tax benefit being already accounted for in the net income following the adoption of IAS 12 amendment). Equity capital is average shareholders’ equity group share as defined by IFRS, after payout of dividends^1, 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 on the basis of 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%
     

*Note on Natixis’ RoE and RoTE calculation*: Returns based on quarter-end balance sheet in 1Q20 to reflect the announced disposal of a 29.5% stake in Coface. The €112m net capital loss is not annualized.

^^[1]In line with ECB recommendations, the 2019 dividend has been reintegrated into Natixis’ capital and no dividend accrual will be carried out throughout 2020 - see press release dated 31/03/2020
*Net book value*: calculated by taking shareholders’ equity group share (minus distribution of dividends proposed by the Board of Directors but not yet approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting^1), 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:

*€m* *30/06/2020*
Restatement for Coface minority interests 3,602
Restatement for AWM deferred tax liability & others (348)
*Restated goodwill* *3,255 *

*€m* *30/06/2020*
Intangible assets 659
Restatement for AWM deferred tax liability & others (8)
*Restated intangible assets* *651 *

*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 FY16 closing

*Phased-in capital and ratios incl. current financial year’s earnings and dividends: *based on CRR-CRD4 rules as reported on June 26, 2013, including the Danish compromise - phased in.* Presentation including current financial year’s earnings and accrued dividend^1*

*Fully-loaded capital and ratios: *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^1*

*Leverage ratio: *based on delegated act rules, without phase-in (presentation including current financial year’s earnings and accrued dividend^1) 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 6*. 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 1H20 takes into account ½ of the annual duties and levies concerned by this accounting rule

*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

*IAS 12: *As of 3Q19, according to the adoption of IAS 12 (income taxes) amendment, the tax benefit on DSN interest expenses previously recorded in the consolidated reserves is now being accounted for in the income statement (income tax line). Previous periods have not been restated with a positive impact of €47.5m in 2019, of which €35.9m recognized in 3Q19 (€23.8m related to 1H19).
