Operational integration complete (IT migration accomplished) Initial effects of revenue and cost synergies recorded |
Amundi's Board of Directors, chaired by Yves Perrier, convened on 27 October 2022 to review the financial statements for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022.
Commenting on the figures, Valérie Baudson, CEO, said:
"Over the first nine months of the year, Amundi showed solid performance in a persistently tough market environment, maintaining a high level of profitability and operational efficiency. In the third quarter, Amundi's activity held up well, particularly in medium/long-term assets, in a market characterised by strong outflows4 . Lyxor's operational integration was successfully completed, allowing to record the initial effects of revenue and cost synergies. These results confirm the robustness of Amundi's profile."
1Adjusted data: excluding amortisation of intangible assets and excluding integration costs and, for 9M 2021, excluding the impact of Affrancamento. See page 8 for definitions and methodology.
2 Assets under management and net inflows including Lyxor AM as of Q1 2022 include assets under advisory and assets marketed and take into account 100% of the Asian JVs' assets under management and net inflows. For Wafa in Morocco, assets are reported on a proportional consolidation basis.
3 Medium/Long-Term (MLT) Assets: excluding Treasury products.

The European asset management market 8 displayed substantial outflows in Q3 (-€111bn of which -€101 €bn in MLT assets).
Amundi's assets under management totalled €1,895bn at 30 September 2022, up 4.7% over one year and down 1.5% from the end of June 2022.
Against this backdrop, Amundi showed resilient business activity in MLT assets ex JVs (-€3.5bn compared to -€10.0bn in Q2).
In treasury products, outflows of -€8.1bn (ex JVs) were concentrated in Corporate and Institutional clients.
Business activity in the JVs was negative this quarter (-€1.3bn) owing to outflows in treasury products and in Channel Business10 in China. In MLT assets11, flows were positive (+€3.8bn), thanks to the momentum of the Indian JV SBI MF, which consolidates its leadership in the Indian market12 .
Amundi Technology continued to grow with 45 clients at end September 2022 (compared to 42 at end June). Three new clients subscribed to the ALTO Wealth & Distribution offer.
Over the first 9 months of 2022, Amundi had -€8.0bn in outflows, driven by outflows in treasury products (-€35.6bn).
Active management: in generally falling markets, Amundi's flows were positive (+€1.6bn), with flows in particular in Equities (especially thematic management). Fund performance was solid, with over 69% of assets in open-ended funds in the top two quartiles according to Morningstar13 over 1 and 3 years, and over 76% over 5 years. With 306 funds rated 4 and 5 stars, Amundi is the second largest player in Europe in terms of number of funds.

In the Asian JVs, business activity was strong with inflows of +€20.2bn, mainly in India and China.
Note: figures published in 2021 did not include Lyxor. The published 9M 2021 income statements as well as the change vs Q3 and 9 months 2022 combined (on a like-for-like basis, with Lyxor) are presented in the appendix. Also, Amundi Technology revenues are presented on a separate line of the P&L in 2021 and 2022.
Amundi's quarterly adjusted net income of €282m remained high, a considerable increase (+4.7%) compared to Q2 2022, thanks to the positive jaws effect between net management fees and well-controlled expenses. Net revenues at €758m:
Operating expenses (€415m) were down by 1.7% from Q2 2022, and down 2% vs. Q3 2021 on a like-for-like basis. These evolutions are related to the initial effects of costs synergies related to the Lyxor integration and to cost control efforts, which offset a negative currency effect (US dollar/euro).
Cost/income ratio was 54.7%, an improvement compared to Q2 2022.
The contribution to income from equity-accounted entities (mainly Asian joint ventures) increased by +11.8% vs. Q2 2022, to €24m.
Adjusted net income stood at €875m, an increase of +3.4% vs 2021 excluding the exceptional level of performance fees recorded in 202117, and virtually stable (+0.5%) on a like-for-like basis (including Lyxor in 2021).This continued high level of profitability can be attributed, as for Q3, to two factors:
As such, Amundi demonstrated its ability to maintain its operational efficiency, even in a difficult market environment. Cost/income ratio was 53.7%, one of the best in the industry.
To be noted: the continued development of Amundi Technology whose revenues grew by 24% to €34m.

Amundi stayed on track to implement its 2025 action plan with transformation of fund ranges and product innovation:
Responsible Investing assets under management were €769bn at 30 September 2022. The change vs 31 December 2021 (€847bn) was due to a negative market effect. MLT19 inflows totalled +€7.9bn over the first nine months.
The operational integration of Lyxor, acquired at the end of 2021, is complete: team were integrated in Q1 2022, entities were merged in Q2 2022, and the IT migration was completed in 6 months, in September 2022. These steps were successful, on schedule, and did not disrupt business activity.
In ETFs, Amundi has become a solid European leader with €167bn in AuM at 30/09/2022.
The initial effects of cost synergies were already recorded, and the rate of completion should ramp up in the fourth quarter of 2022 and in 2023.
These elements confirm the value creation potential of this acquisition, with a return on investment expected to be greater than 14% in 2024 including all synergies.

Adjusted data: excluding amortisation of intangible assets and excluding integration costs and, for 9M 2021, excluding the impact of Affrancamento. New presentation of revenues since 2021 with Amundi Technology's revenues shown on a separate line
The accounting net income for Q2 2021 included a net one-time tax gain (net of a substitution tax) of +€114m (no cash flow impact): "Affrancamento" mechanism of the Italian Budget Law for 2021 (Law no. 178/2020), resulting in the recognition of Deferred Tax Assets on intangible assets (goodwill); this was excluded from Adjusted Net Income.

For the first nine months of 2021 and 2022, data after amortisation of intangible assets (distribution agreements with Bawag, UniCredit and Banco Sabadell; Lyxor client contracts) and after the integration costs related to Lyxor.
The following adjustments were made to present the most economically accurate income statement: restatement of the amortisation of intangible assets (deducted from net revenues); integration costs related to Lyxor.
In the accounting data, amortisation of intangible assets:
In the accounting data, integration costs related to Lyxor:
In 2021, a record amount of performance fees had been registered (427M€). This amount is significantly higher than the average from 2017 to 2020 (~€42m per quarter, i.e. ~€170m per year). To compare the 2022 data with 2021, Amundi computes a normalized amount of performance fees with those amount historically recorded, though excluding the impact of this exceptional level of performance fees. Details in the API table on the next page
In accordance with IFRS 3, recognition on Amundi's balance sheet as of 31/12/2021 of:
In the Group income statement, the above-mentioned intangible asset will be amortised on a straight-line basis over 3 years starting in 2022; the full-year impact of this amortisation is €10m net of tax (i.e. €13m before tax). This amortisation is recognised as a deduction from net revenues and is added to the existing amortisation of distribution agreements.
To present the most economically accurate income statement, Amundi publishes adjusted data which excludes amortisation of intangible assets and the impact of Affrancamento (see above).
These combined and adjusted data are reconciled with accounting data as follows:
