Commenting on the occasion, Paul Younès, UFF's Chief Executive Officer, said: "The first half of 2016 comes to a close against a backdrop of extreme volatility. Despite the odds, we have been able to weather the storm thanks to our capacity to anticipate and to offer our clients original solutions that are adapted to today's climate as well as a targeted real estate offer that is constantly renewed. Now more than ever is the time to focus our efforts on the deployment of our Odyssée 2020 plan in order to seize new market opportunities and diversify our growth levers."

Strong resilience of assets under management¹ :

UFF's commercial performance over the first half of 2016 reflects:

Commercial activity² of €680.1 million (-8%) that incorporates a high level of disparity between the asset classes exposed to financial market volatility - securities (-45%), corporate products (-36%) and life insurance (-9%) - and persistently strong growth for the real estate sector - REITs (+39%) and direct property (+12%).

• Net inflows³ of €45 million (€62 million for the first half of 2015) penalized by an increase in redemptions (+4%) and repayments on terminated funds (€22 million).
• Assets under management at period end of €11.0 billion as against €11.5 billion (-4%) for the first half of 2015 due to particularly adverse price fluctuations. By diversifying its portfolio, UFF was able to offset a sizable proportion of the impact of price fluctuations which amounted to €1 billion over the period.
• A Net Banking Income of €96.7 million as against a figure of €102.4 million for the first half of 2015. The 9% increase in commissions from investment inflows reflects the outstanding performance of REITs and the very high real estate billing generated by new inflows in 2015 which compensated for a disappointing performance from financial products. Commissions on assets under management dropped 12% as a result of the volatility seen over the first half and the drop in average assets under management.

Ongoing strategic investments as part of the Odyssée 2020 plan

Despite adverse market conditions, UFF Banque made the strategic choice to begin structural investments to underpin its medium-term development plan. Accordingly, results for the first half of 2016 reflect:

• An operating profit of €14.2 million, down 38%. The slight increase in expenses (+4%) is tied to remuneration linked to strong sales in real estate products as well as to commitments linked to preparatory work for the deployment of the strategic plan.
• Net income of €11.0 million (-28%). The cost of risk was virtually nil for the period and the share of earnings in 30%-held Primonial Reim contributed €1.7 million which is substantially higher than in the first half of 2015 (€0.8 million).

Payment of an interim dividend of €0.60 per share

The consolidated balance sheet structure remains healthy, with carefully-managed cash assets (investments and liquid assets) of €95 million (compared with €112 million at 31/12/2015) that are 56% invested in FCP money market funds. In addition, all operating payables and receivables are short-term. Consolidated shareholders' equity before distribution of earnings amounted to €94 million compared with €102 million at 31 December 2015.

These figures highlight the financial strength of UFF which more than meets regulatory requirements.

Backed by this strong financial footing, the Board of Directors has approved the distribution of an interim dividend of €0.60 per share. To be paid on 3 November 2016, the dividend is confirmation of UFF Banque's commitment to ensuring a lasting improvement in shareholder returns.

Outlook

UFF continued to enrich its offer over the first six months of 2016, strengthening its tax wrappers (FIP local investment funds, holdings, forestry groups) and working alongside clients in search of high-performance solutions. Furthermore, in order to adapt to current market trends, the company launched two new financial vehicles for wealth management clients (life insurance and/or PEA equity savings plans) and corporate clients - UFF Action Rendement 2016 and Cap Rendement - which combine potential returns with partial protection against the downturn on the equity markets. At the same time, UFF has also devised an original solution which is decorrelated from the equity markets that allows PEA equity savings plans to invest in real estate.

Lastly, the Multi-Bonus offer was designed to allow life insurance subscribers to reduce their sensitivity to the euro-denominated fund.

Several structural projects for the Odyssée 2020 plan were also launched over the period, and priority given to transforming the company's support functions and enriching client experience using the new digital
