The Board of Directors examined Natixis' third-quarter 2016 accounts on November 8, 2016.

For Natixis, the main features of 3Q16 were (1):

  • increases in Natixis' net revenues of 8% and core-business net revenues of 7% vs. 3Q15, to €2.106bn and €1.955bn, respectively.

Within the Investment Solutions core business, Asset Management incurred a net outflow in the US during the quarter, though after recording record inflows in 2014 and 2015.
In Insurance, the rollout of the new Life and Personal Protection offering was completed in mid-October across all Caisses d'Epargne network. Insurance posted sharp growth in turnover in 3Q16, driven by both the Life and Non-Life segments.

Robust showings in FIC-T, M&A and financings, particularly in the Aviation, Export & Infrastructure Finance and Real Estate Finance US fields, propelled a 24% yoy advance in Corporate & Investment Banking net revenues in 3Q16.

In Specialized Financial Services, good commercial performances, especially in the Factoring and Consumer Finance areas, lifted net revenues from Specialized Financing by 6%.

The decision to group together at Natixis all Payments activities carried out on behalf of Groupe BPCE will enable the business to address European markets, to reap the benefits of new digital business models and deliver greater competitiveness to the Banques Populaires and Caisses d'Epargne.

  • a significant improvement in the cost-income ratio (excluding the IFRIC 21 impact) of 1.8pps yoy to 70.9% in 3Q16,
     
  • a €69m provision for credit loss, which marked an improvement since the start of the year,
     
  • a 14% yoy advance in restated net income (group share and excluding the IFRIC 21 impact) to €315m,
     
  • reported net income (group share) of €298m, up 2%,
     
  • a CET1 ratio(2) of 11.2% at September 30, after factoring in the dividend,
     
  • a leverage ratio of 4.3% at end-September 2016.

             

Laurent Mignon, Natixis Chief Executive Officer, said: "Natixis reported markedly-improved results for third-quarter 2016 today, fueled in particular by robust activity levels in Corporate & Investment Banking. These results are not only consistent with the main objectives of the New Frontier plan, but also confirm the adaptability and resilience of our asset-light model. They also underline the rapid expansion of our Insurance activities and the fine performances recorded in Specialized Financing lines since the start of 2016. Several projects were initiated during the third quarter, among which the implementation of a unified Payments business line within Natixis, in order to create a powerful player to serve the Group's ambitions, and the set-up of the main aspects of the Transformation and Business Efficiency program, for which we intend to invest substantially - particularly in technology - and unlock €250m of cost savings as from 2019.  And with Natixis preparing to celebrate its 10th anniversary in just a few days' time, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our staff for their commitment and work accomplished over the years. Along with the support of Groupe BPCE, these efforts now ensure Natixis is a solid bank, fully-devoted to its clients and recognized for the strength of its expertise, and one that can continue to grow with confidence"

Unless stated otherwise, the commentary that follows refers to pro forma results excluding exceptional items (see detail p3).

Natixis' net revenues amounted to €2.106bn in 3Q16, up 8% vs. 2Q15.

Over the same period, core-business net revenues rose 7% to €1.955bn overall, with Investment Solutions down by 4%, Corporate & Investment Banking up sharply by 24% and Specialized Financial Services ahead by 3%.
Net revenues from Financial Investments contracted 36% yoy to €137m in 3Q16, mirroring declines in revenues of 31% at Coface and 64% from non-strategic Corporate Data Solutions activities.
Among non-recurring items in 3Q16, a provision for litigation of €69m has been set aside because Société Wallonne de Logement (SWL) served Natixis with official notice to request withdrawal from its obligations related to a swap taken out in 2006.
This provision follows on from the ruling handed down by the Mons appeal court that orders Natixis to cancel the deal under way and return to the counterparty any amounts received since the operation was implemented. Given that any appeal in the cassation court does not suspend enforcement of the legal decision, and in view of the uncertain outcome, a provision has been set aside in light of this court decision.
We note that no provision had previously been set aside on this litigation, in view of the arguments on the foundations of the case and the favorable ruling for Natixis handed down at first instance. 

Operating expenses were 4% up yoy to €1.447bn in 3Q16. This showed up in a significant 1.8pp-improvement in the cost-income ratio (excluding the IFRIC 21 impact) to 70.9% during the same period.

Again compared to a year earlier, gross operating income progressed by 17% for Natixis as a whole                - reaching €659m - and by 14% for core businesses.

The provision for credit loss worked out to €69m in 3Q16, up 29% compared to 3Q15, but down markedly compared to the first two quarters of 2016, thereby confirming its return to levels consistent with the targets set out in the New Frontier plan.  

Pre-tax profit climbed 16% yoy to €601m in 3Q16.

Restated net income (group share) excluding IFRIC 21 and exceptional items amounted to €315m in 3Q16, a 14% increase on a year earlier.
Including exceptional items (-€56m net of tax in 3Q16 vs. -€10m in 3Q15) and IFRIC 21 (+€39m in 3Q16 vs.      +€26m in 3Q15), reported net income (group share) worked out to €298m in 3Q16, up 2% on a year earlier.

ROTE excluding the IFRIC 21 impact made strong progress in Q316, rising 100bps yoy to 9.0% for Natixis as a whole, while core-business ROE also advanced 60bps yoy to 11.0%.

Unless stated otherwise, the commentary that follows refers to pro forma results excluding exceptional items (see detail p3).

Natixis' net revenues amounted to €6.414bn, up 2% vs. 9M15.

During 9M16 and despite a difficult start to the year, core-business revenues progressed 3% year-on-year to €5.964bn. This aggregate included contributions of €2.460bn from Investment Solutions (down 2%), €2.494bn from Corporate & Investment Banking (up 8%) and €1.009bn from Specialized Financial Services (up 4%).

The 26% yoy decline in net revenues from Financial Investments in 9M16 stemmed from shrinking revenues at Coface (-21%) and from Corporate Data Solutions (-49%).

Operating expenses totaled €4.574bn in 9M16, up 5% relative to 9M15. After adjusting for the contribution to the Single Resolution Fund (€114m in 9M16 vs. €48m in 9M15), operating expenses increased by 3% compared to a year earlier. Gross operating income contracted 4% yoy to €1.839bn.

The provision for credit loss rose 26% to €245m, primarily due to the provisions set aside on the Oil & Gas sector in the first half of the year.

Pre-tax profit declined 4% on a year earlier to €1.679bn. Core-business pre-tax profit rose 3% to €2bn in 9M16.

Restated net income excluding exceptional items and IFRIC 21 amounted to €1.026bn in 9M16, up 3% on a year earlier.
Including exceptional items (-€109m net of tax in 9M16 vs. +€62m in 9M15) and IFRIC 21 (-€39m in 9M16 vs.      -€26m in 9M15), reported net income (group share) worked out to €879m vs. €1.028bn in 9M15.


2 - Financial structure

Natixis' Basel 3 CET1 ratio(1) worked out to 11.2% at September 30, 2016.

Based on a Basel 3 CET1 ratio(1) of 11.0% at June 30, 2016, the respective impacts in the second quarter of 2016 were as follows:

  • effect of allocating net income (group share) to retained earnings in 3Q16, excluding the dividend: +26bps,
  • ordinary dividend planned for 3Q16: -16bps,
  • RWA, FX and other effects: +13bps.

Basel 3 capital and risk-weighted assets(1) amounted to €12.7bn and €113.1bn, respectively, at September 30, 2016.

2016 SUPERVISORY REVIEW AND EVALUATION PROCESS
Following the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) performed by the ECB for 2016, the phased-in capital requirement (CET1 ratio) that Natixis has to respect was set at 7.75% in 2017(2), of which 1.25% for the Conservation buffer and 2% for the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) (excluding the Pillar 2 guidance (P2G), which is not public). The total capital requirement is thus set at 11.25% for 2017, excluding P2G. With a phased-in Basel 3 CET1 ratio at 11.3% and a phased-in total capital ratio of 15.1% as at 30 September 2016, Natixis is well above the regulatory requirement.

The anticipated level of fully loaded Basel 3 CET1 ratio is 9% in 2019 (excluding the Pillar 2 guidance), given the gradual phasing-in of the Conservation buffer to 2.5%.

It constitutes the level of CET1 taken into account starting in 2019 for the restrictions applicable to distributions (Maximum Distributable Amount - MDA).

EQUITY CAPITAL - TIER ONE CAPITAL - BOOK VALUE PER SHARE

Equity capital (group share) totaled €19.1bn at September 30, 2016, of which €1.68bn was in the form of hybrid securities (DSNs) recognized in equity capital at fair value.

Core tier 1 capital (Basel 3 - phased-in) stood at €12.7bn, and tier 1 capital (Basel 3 - phased-in) at €14.5bn.

Natixis' risk-weighted assets totaled €113.1bn at September 30, 2016 (Basel 3 - phased-in), breakdown as following:

  • Credit risk: €77.7bn
  • Counterparty risk: €7.9bn
  • CVA risk: €3.5bn
  • Market risk: €11.3bn
  • Operational risk: €12.7bn

Under Basel 3 (phased-in), the CET1 ratio amounted to 11.3%, the Tier 1 ratio to 12.8% and the total ratio to 15.1% at September 30, 2016.  

Book value per share was €5.49 at September 30, 2016 based on 3,135,564,243 shares excluding treasury stock (the total number of shares stands at 3,137,074,580). Net tangible book value per share (after deducting goodwill and intangible fixed assets) was €4.34.

LEVERAGE RATIO(3)

The leverage ratio worked out to 4.3% at September 30, 2016.

OVERALL CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO

As at September 30, 2016, the financial conglomerate's capital excess was estimated at more than €6bn.

Investment Solutions recorded net revenues of €804m in 3Q16 and €2.460bn in 9M16, down by 4% and 2% yoy, respectively. The lower contribution from Asset Management was part-offset by good momentum in Insurance.

During 3Q16, operating expenses contracted yoy to €558m, while the cost-income ratio excluding the IFRIC 21 impact remained below 70.0%.
Gross operating income worked out to €246m in 3Q16 vs. €271m in 3Q15.

Pre-tax profit totaled €249m in 3Q16 (-10% vs. 3Q15) and €759m in 9M16 (-4% vs. 9M15).

ROE after tax and before the IFRIC 21 impact was 12.9% in 3Q16 and 13.7% in 9M16, down 1.3pps and 1.9pps, respectively, on a year earlier.

Asset Management posted €609m in revenues in 3Q16, down 9% yoy.
Over 9M16 as a whole, Europe grew revenues 7% yoy to €492m, buoyed by wider margins following the consolidation of DNCA. In the US, revenues declined 9% to €1.134bn in the same period, due to the contraction in average assets under management.

Overall assets under management amounted to €798bn at September 30, 2016, an increase of €11bn in 3Q16, thanks to a €24bn positive market effect, which offset €8bn of net outflow, a €4bn negative exchange-rate effect and a €1bn negative impact from the run off of Aurora.
The net outflow of €8bn in 3Q16 was primarily focused on Harris.   
Loomis Sayles resisted well in 9M16, helped by a recovery in performances. In Europe, net inflow amounted to close to €5bn in 9M16.

In Insurance, all segments grew strongly and helped lift net revenues 10% in 3Q16 and 9% in 9M16.
Overall Insurance turnover (excluding the reinsurance treaty with CNP), advanced 25% year-on-year to reach €5.5bn in 9M16.
In the Life Insurance segment, excluding the reinsurance treaty with CNP, net inflow reached €1.8bn in 9M16, of which close to €0.9bn stemmed from new business with the Caisses d'Epargne. Unit-linked policies accounted for 37% of net inflow during 9M16. AuM rose 7% yoy to €46.5bn at end-September 2016.
Turnover advanced 9% yoy in the P&C segment and by 9% in the Personal Protection and Borrower's insurance segments as well in 9M16.

Excluding the CVA/DVA desk, net revenues progressed by 15% yoy to €813m in 3Q16, fueled by sharp growth in  Fixed Income revenues (+39% during the same period) and a much higher contribution from M&A, driven by Natixis Partners and Peter J. Solomon (consolidated since June 2016).

Operating expenses rose 13% yoy to €468m in 3Q16.

Gross operating income advanced 43% in 3Q16 and 9% in 9M16.

Net revenues from Specialized Financial Services rose 3% in 3Q16 and 4% in 9M16 relative to the year-earlier periods. The momentum came from solid performances in Specialized Financing since the start of the year.

Appendices

Note on methodology:

The results at 09/30/2016 were examined by the board of directors at their meeting on 8/11/2016.
Figures at 09/30/2016 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.

2015 figures are presented pro forma:

  1. For the reclassification of the contribution to the Single Resolution Fund to current profit (previously booked under exceptional items). The contribution is registered under Corporate Center expenses. The 2015 quarterly series have been restated accordingly.
  2. For the transfer of some expenses from Corporate Center to SFS. The 2015 series have been restated accordingly.

The 2015 & 1H16 quarterly series have been restated for the change in CIB organization announced on March 15 2016. The new presentation of businesses within CIB mainly takes into account the creation of a new business line: Global Finance & Investment banking housing all financing businesses (structured & plain vanilla financing), as well as M&A, Equity Capital Markets, and Debt Capital Markets.

Changes in rules as of January 1, 2016:
The cost of subordination of Tier 2 debt issued, previously allocated to Corporate Center, is now reallocated to the business lines based on their normative capital. Application of an accounting change in 2015 due to the recognition of tax amortization of goodwill under deferred tax liability in the Investment Solutions division leading to an increase of the normative tax rate, and conversely to a decrease of the normative capital allocation.

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 on the basis of 10% 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 3%.
  • Net book value: calculated by taking shareholders' equity group share, 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:

Own senior debt fair-value adjustment: calculated using a discounted cash-flow model, contract by contract, including parameters such as swaps curve, and revaluation spread (based on the BPCE reoffer curve).

Leverage ratio: based on delegated act rules, without phase-in except for DTAs on tax-loss carryforwards 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 release are based on Natixis and its businesses' income statements excluding non- operating and/or exceptional items detailed page 3. Natixis and its businesses' income statements including these items are available in the appendix of this release.

Restatement for IFRIC 21 impact: the cost/income ratio and the ROE excluding IFRIC 21 impact calculation take into account as of June 30th 2016, half of the annual duties and levies concerned by this new accounting rule. The impact for the quarter is calculated by difference with the former quarter.
