1.2 ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT

1.2.1 Financial market trends

The global economic recovery continued into the fi rst half of 2017, although still at a modest pace. A marked improvement was observed in the Euro zone due to stronger growth, which was better geographically distributed (growth in Italy and Portugal) and of higher quality (upturn in investment). In the United States, certain fi gures were somewhat disappointing but the strength of the labour market, the main driver of the recovery, did not falter. In emerging countries, the overall situation improved, particularly due to the stability of the Chinese economic climate, the end of recession in Brazil and Russia and the fact that oil prices remained higher than the previous year. The European political risk, perceived as being high during the French presidential campaign, subsequently fell sharply. In the United States and the United Kingdom, on the other hand, major uncertainties persisted, due to the lack of visibility with regard to Donald Trump's ability to keep his campaign promises and due to Brexit conditions.

FIXED-INCOME MARKETS

Although the Fed raised key interest rates twice in H1 2017, in March and in June, US long-term rates fell sharply due to disappointment with regard to the expectations that had led to Donald Trump's election. Consequently, the US yield curve continued to fl atten. US ten-year yields fell from around 2.45% to 2.30%. On the other hand, German rates were up over the half-year with encouraging signals from the ECB and an improved economic outlook. German ten-year yields were up from around 0.10% to around 0.45% over the quarter. Sovereign spreads widened considerably early on in the period before contracting after the fi rst round of the French presidential election. UK long-term rates were down considerably over the half-year, mainly due to the slowdown in the British economy. Lastly, the Japanese 10-year yield remained at around 0%, particularly due to Bank of Japan yield curve control.

EQUITY MARKETS

Buoyed by the expansion of the global economic recovery, strong performances and continued low interest rates, the equity markets rose sharply in the fi rst half of 2017, with the MSCI World AC Index up, on a dividend reinvestment basis, by 11.8% in dollars. This growth was relatively linear, up 7.0% at 31 March and up 11.8% at 30 June. After continuing to rise right the way through until mid-March (+7.5%), there was then a pause in the market until mid-April to absorb the Fed's new rate rise and Trump's fi rst legislative failings. It then recovered due to excellent quarterly results and the dissipation of fears of disinfl ation with the upturn in oil prices. Geographically speaking, this equity market growth extended across a wide front, with the biggest rises in the emerging markets (the MSCI EM in \$ up 18.6%) – with fears of increased protectionism following the US election diminishing – followed by the United States (the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones in \$ up 9.3%) and the Euro zone (the MSCI EMU in local currency up 9.2%) and then Japan (the Nikkei in Yen up 5.8%). Currency fl uctuations do, however, make comparisons diffi cult. Expressed in \$, the ranking is easier to see with the emerging markets still in front (+18.6%), followed very closely this time by the Euro zone (+18.0%) where the political risk lessened, then by Japan (+10.1%), which outperformed the United States (+9.3%).

1.2.2 The asset management market

FRENCH MARKET (1)

Assets under management by open-ended funds governed by French law reached €915 billion at the end of June 2017, the highest fi gure since 2008. Growth of 6.4% over the half-year can be broken down into infl ows and performance, both of which were positive at 4.0% and 2.4% respectively.

Net infl ows over the period stood at €34 billion.

Bond funds brought in €14 billion, mainly in short-term and very shortterm products and, to a lesser extent, variable-rate or term products in dollars.

78% of the €9 billion in infl ows from equity funds was via ETFs, mainly on developed (Euro zone, Europe, Japan, North America) and emerging markets. Nearly €3 billion was on small and mid-cap equities and over €1 billion on sector and themed equities (technologies, water, environment).

Multi-asset and absolute return funds were subscribed in the amount of €7 billion, the most fl exible and most prudent solutions continuing to fi nd favour with investors.

Real estate, via retail OPCI, continued to grow (+€2 billion) and, for the fi rst time, exceeded €10 billion in assets. On the other hand, guaranteed and structured funds recorded redemptions of €1 billion, their market share being further eroded by the growth in EMTNs.

Finally, money market funds put on another €4 billion during the course of the half-year, despite institutional investor outfl ows of €23 billion in June.

EUROPEAN MARKET (2)

European open-ended funds exceeded the threshold of €10 tr illion AUM for the fi rst time – more precisely, €10,196 billion at the end of May 2017, up 6.2% over the fi rst fi ve months of the year.

Two thirds of this growth was due to a record €373 billion in inflows between January and May, compared with annual average infl ows of €411 billion a year over the last three years.

Bond funds brought in more than one third of these fl ows: €135 billion. Investors favoured products offering geographical diversifi cation (world and emerging countries), fl oating rate notes and loans so as to take advantage of the upturn in rates, with credit and fl exible products offering an unrestricted and opportunist approach in respect of the various bond segments, all to the detriment of euro-denominated bonds.

Multi-asset and absolute return funds brought in €82 and €26 billion respectively. Budget risk management and regular income distribution were some of the characteristics of the funds sought in the early part of this year.

Equity funds returned to profi t, racking up €50 billion, nearly 80% of which under passive management where investors focused on a "core portfolio" of international and emerging equities and, to a lesser extent, on smart beta. Considerable success was achieved with active management, in particular in relation to portfolios primarily concentrated on themes such as robotics or on the ESG approach.

Lastly, money market funds brought in €73 billion: most of the infl ows were in pound sterling and euro (including long-term treasury).

ASIAN MARKETS (3)

In Asia, assets under management in open-ended funds were up 5.3%, ending the fi rst quarter at €3,386 billion. Infl ows amounted to nearly €67 billion over the period.

As with Europe, bond funds (€47 billion, including €31 billion in China) and multi-asset funds (€13 billion) were the preferred asset classes for Asian investors, with positive fl ows in most countries; in particular, the popularity of fl exible income solutions in Hong Kong and Singapore did not wane.

Equity funds only found takers in Japan (€24 billion – still driven by the Bank of Japan ETF purchasing programme) and recorded redemptions of €10 billion almost everywhere else.

As for money market funds, these recorded outfl ows of -€8 billion, due to massive outfl ows in China (-€36 billion).

AMERICAN MARKET (4)

The open-ended funds market in the United States totalled €18.1 billion at the end of May 2017, up 1.2% on the beginning of the year.

Net inflows amounted to €255 billion and primarily broke down into equities managed passively (€206 billion – United States, world and emerging countries), bonds (€164 billion) and pension/lifecycle funds (€37 billion); equities managed actively and money market funds were still in the red (-€79 and -€64 billion respectively).

Amundi's assets rose by 3.5% over the first half of 2017 and by 11.7% year-on-year compared with 30 June 2016, with assets under management reaching €1,121 billion. This growth was primarily organic with infl ows averaging the targets set when the shares were listed for own businesses and exceeding expectations for joint-ventures in Asia. In fact, over a rolling 12-month period, net infl ows amounted to nearly €75 billion, €29 billion of which in the fi rst half of 2017 in an improving market environment.

Assets under management also benefi ted from a positive market effect, growing by €29 billion over a rolling 12-month period and by €9.5 billion in the fi rst half of 2017.

As shown in detail in the paragraphs below, in the fi rst half of 2017, net infl ows were robust in both client segments. Infl ows were particularly high in retail in medium-to-long-term assets in all distribution channels.

In the fi rst half of 2017, Amundi experienced a high level of business in the retail segment with sales growth continuing across all distribution channels and in the institutional segment with a high level of net infl ows despite extraordinary negative items.

Assets under management in the Retail segment stood at €330 billion at the end of June 2017, up 23% on the end of June 2016.

Meanwhile, assets under management in the Institutional segment rose by 7.3% compared with 30 June 2016, climbing from €736 billion to €791 billion.

The Retail segment accounted for the majority (80%) of infl ows in the fi rst half of 2017, at +€22.9 billion. These infl ows were mainly driven by third-party distributors (+€9.9 billion) with, in particular, strong growth in Europe, and by joint-ventures (+€7.3 billion). International network business (+€4.7 billion, particularly in Italy) benefi ted from signifi cant infl ows from UniCredit networks (+€3.5 billion) already considered as partner networks. These infl ows show that the distribution agreement is off to a fl ying start. Infl ows from French networks in MLT assets remained positive (+€2.4 billion), continuing the positive trend observed since the 2nd half of 2016.

The Institutionals segment recorded a high level of net infl ows (+€5.9 billion in the fi rst half of 2017), despite some extraordinary negative items, notably, the return to in-sourcing of an ECB mandate in the fi rst half of 2017 for -€6.9 billion as well as the seasonal effects of liquidity solutions (treasury). Sovereigns and other Institutionals, as well as mandates from CA and SG insurers made a positive contribution to infl ows. Net infl ows from Corporates were negative (-€4.9 billion), just as in the fi rst half of 2016.

At the end of June 2017, medium-to-long-term assets (MLT) stood at €920 billion, up 10.1% on June 2016 (€835 billion).

Net infl ows were driven by all asset classes, with medium-to-long-term assets accounting for an increase of €12.7 billion. The commercial attraction of new management expertise continued, with sustained net infl ows, particularly in real estate (+€2.2 billion) and ETFs (+€7.7 billion) representing new centres of growth. Please note that for Real, Alternative and Structured assets, net infl ows were negative due to the return to in-sourcing of an ABS management mandate (1) for the ECB (-€6.9 billion). Excluding this one-off effect, net infl ows for this asset class were positive.

Liquidity solutions (treasury) were up 20% with signifi cant variations in the half-year. This asset class represented 18% of total assets at 30 June 2017.

NET REVENUES 909.9 838.0 +8.6%

Net revenue totalled €910 million in the fi rst half, an increase of +8.6% compared with the fi rst half of 2016. This increase was mainly due to growth in net asset management revenues as well as to a rise in fi nancial income (€56 million, up 60% on the fi rst half of 2016) due to the disposal of fi nancial assets in order to fund the acquisition of Pioneer.

Net fee and commission income for the Retail segment (€516 million) represented 65% of total net fee and commission income. Growth (+0.5%) was lower than the increase in AUM, 2015 and 2016 having benefi ted from a high volume of guarantee fees. Net fee and commission income on other segments was in line with business growth.

Margins are therefore experiencing contrasting trends:

p the Retail segment, excluding JVs, saw its average margin fall, returning to levels of between 45 and 50 basis points and standing at 47.8 basis

In the fi rst half of the year, performance fees amounted to €64 million, up 20% compared to the fi rst half of 2016. The resilience of these fees was mainly due to the increase in performance fees on fi xed-income products.

Over the fi rst half of 2017, these fees represented close to 7.5% of net asset management revenue, up on the fi rst half of 2016.

OPERATING EXPENSES (486.0) (454.3) (435.2) +4.4%

In the fi rst half of 2017, operating expenses, excluding the cost associated with the integration ofPioneer , totalled €454 million, up 4.4% on the fi rst half of 2016. This growth, excluding the scope effect (Credit Agricole Immobilier and KBI) can be reduced to 1.8%, which refl ects Amundi's continuing productivity gains over the period.

Operating expenses thus represented 8.9 basis points of average assets under management excluding JVs in the fi rst half of 2017, versus 9.5 basis points in the fi rst half of 2016.

Gross costs associated with the integrationof Pioneer (€31.7 million in the fi rst half, before tax) mainly comprised IT-related expenses and fees for external services.

Gross operating income was up 13.1% between the fi rst half of 2017 adjusted (1), and the fi rst half of 2016. It stood at €456 million.

Including Pioneer integration -related costs, GOI stood at €424 million, up 5.2% on the fi rst half of 2016.

1.3.6 Share of net income of equity-accounted entities and other items

The share of net income of equity-accounted entities rose by 23% to €15.7 million in the fi rst half.

After taking into account non-controlling interests and tax charges which totalled €159 million in the fi rst half of 2017, excluding Pioneer integration -related costs, the net income Group share stood at €308 million, up 10.9% on the fi rst half of 2016.

Including Pioneer consolidation-related costs, the net income Group share stood at €288 million, up 3.5%.

1.4 SOLVENCY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

At 30 June 2017, the Basel 3 CET1 solvency ratio was 60% as detailed below. This high level was mainly due to the €1.4 billion capital increase in April 2017 to fund the acquisition of Pioneer.

Pro forma of this acquisition, Amundi will retain a full Basel 3 CET1 solvency ratio in excess of 10% and so within the regulatory requirements applicable under credit institution regulations.

1.4.1 Solvency ratio

At 30 June 2017, as shown in the table below, Amundi's total solvency ratio was 64.2% versus 37.6% in december 2016. On this basis, Amundi complies with the regulatory requirements and has a particularly robust fi nancial structure.

1.4.2 Net fi nancial debt

As it did on 31 December 2016, at 30 June 2017 Amundi had a net lending position, as shown in the table below:

In € millions 30/06/2017
a. Net cash 4,228
b. Voluntary short-term investments (excl. seed money) in money market funds and short-term bank deposits 308

j. Non-current fi nancial liabilities to credit institutions 645
K. NET FINANCIAL DEBT (H+J-D-E) (3,773)

(1) The main factor in the changes to the Group's cash position is margin calls on collateralised derivatives. This amount changes depending on the market value of the underlying derivatives.

(a) Net cash means asset and liability balances of current accounts with credit institutions, as well as cash and central bank accounts.

(h) and (i) Liabilities to credit institutions carry no guarantees or surety.

In addition, on 23 October 2015, the Group signed a syndicated multicurrency revolving credit agreement of €1,750 million with an international syndicate of lenders, with an initial maturity of fi ve years from the date of the agreement and renewed in October 2016 for a period of one year. The purpose of the agreement is to increase the Group's liquidity in all currencies in use and to secure access to that liquidity particularly if needed to face outfl ows in some mutual funds managed by the Group. It included two covenants, for which the requirements were met at 30 June 2017: a minimum level of tangible shareholders' equity and a gearing ratio, being the ratio of net debt to tangible shareholders' equity.

It is worth noting that on 30 June 2017, Amundi's LCR (liquidity coverage ratio allowing it to survive a signifi cant stress scenario lasting one month) was 150%.

Proforma of the Pioneer acquisition on 30 June 2017, Amundi's fi nancial position will continue to be a net lending position.

1.5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The main related party transactions are described in note 5.2.3 "Related party transactions", of the interim condensed consolidated fi nancial statements at 30 June 2017.

1.6 OUTLOOK AND RECENT TRENDS

1.6.1 Outlook

In the United States, the recovery which has lasted for more than eight years is likely to continue, mainly driven by household consumption. The US economy is, however, approaching full employment and so job creation will no longer be able to support business activity as it has in the past. Maintaining growth at a rate of around 2% will largely depend on fi scal policy, which is currently very uncertain. In the Euro zone the recovery is now fi rmly established and, only having begun in 2013, still has a great deal of potential. Tangible signs of improvement can be observed in Italy where recovery came much later. In addition, political risks have more or less disappeared with the French elections. The German elections (24 September 2017) do not pose any threat. Any residual risk lies mainly in Italy (elections in May 2018 at the latest). In the United Kingdom, the total lack of visibility of Brexit conditions will drag the economy down, but Euro zone economies will barely be affected. In China, growth will slow, with a possible shift in money market policy at the end of the year to contain credit. Generally speaking, despite contrasting situations, emerging country fundamentals taken as a whole (external defi cits, foreign exchange reserves, etc.) improved considerably.

With infl ation remaining under control in most countries, the main central banks will seek to lower the level of monetary accommodation without in any way tightening credit conditions. The ECB is, therefore, expected to announce in September that it is planning to reduce the monthly volume of its securities purchases from early 2018. In that same month, the Fed is likely to say when it will begin to reduce its balance sheet and then in December it is likely to raise its key interest rates. Long-term interest rates are, therefore, likely to rise slightly in the United States and in Europe.

In the main, these changes are favourable for equity and credit markets. Valuations and the profi ts cycle give Euro zone and Japanese equities a clear advantage over US equities. The steepening of the yield curve is likely to continue to benefi t fi nancial securities, particularly in Europe. Lastly, emerging countries continue to offer great opportunities both in terms of equities and debt securities.

In this climate, Amundi intends to continue to implement its growth strategy for both its Retail and Institutional businesses, in France and internationally.

The integrationof Pioneer Investments which was actually acquired on 3 July 2017, was an important step in implementing Amundi's development strategy and will create signifi cant value.

1.6.2 Recent trends

Recent events subsequent to the balance sheet date are described in note 6 to the interim condensed consolidated fi nancial statements at 30 June 2017.

Following elements are particularly detailed : overall description of the transaction, list of Pioneer Investments group entities acquired, fair value of consideration transferred (fair value of net assets acquired and goodwill) as well as the income statement for the combined entity (Amundi + Pioneer Investments); thesetables differ from the proforma information included in Amundi's 2016 R egistration Document.

1.7 RISK FACTORS

The main risk factors of the Group are detailed in Chapter 05 "Risk management and capital adequacy" of Amundi's Registration Document (document de référence) fi led with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on 13 March 2017 (approval No. R.17-006).

This detailed description remains valid, no new signifi cant risk factor having been identifi ed by the Group during the fi rst half of the year or that could have a material impact for the 2017 fi nancial year. In particular, the consolidation of Pioneer Investments does not affect this description.

2.2.6 Cash fl ow statement

The Group's cash fl ow statement is presented below using the indirect method. Cash fl ows are shown by type: operating activities, investment activities and fi nancing activities.

Operating activities are activities carried out on behalf of third parties and which mainly produce fee and commission cash fl ows, and activities on its own behalf (investments and related fi nancing, intermediation of swaps between funds and markets, etc.). Tax infl ows and outfl ows are included in full within operating activities.

Investing activities include acquisitions and disposals of investments in consolidated and non-consolidated companies, along with purchases of tangibleand intangible assets. Non-consolidated equity investments included in this item are accounted for as "Available-for-sale assets".

Financing activities cover all transactions relating to equity (issues and buybacks of shares and other equity instruments, dividend payments, etc.).

Net cash includes cash, debit and credit balances with central banks, debit and credit demand balances in ordinary bank accounts, and overnight accounts and loans.

PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS

The consolidation scope and changes thereto as of 30 June 2017 are presented in detail in note 5.3.

Here are the highlights of the period.

Capital increase

In the fi rst half of 2017, the capital increase (with preferential subscription rights) launched by Amundi on 14 March 2017 by means of a press release, was fi nalised.

At the end of the subscription period (from 17 March 2017 to 31 March 2017), this capital increase led to the issue of 33,585,093 shares at a price of €42.50 per share (par value of €2.50 and share premium of €40.00).

This capital increase had been presented, in principle, on 12 December 2016, when Amundi announced its plans to acquire Pioneer Investments.

NOTE 1 PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

1.1 APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND COMPARABILITY

These interim condensed consolidated fi nancial statements at 30 June 2017 were prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations applicable as of 30 June 2017, as adopted by the European Union. The standards are available from the European Commission website.

The interim condensed consolidated fi nancial statements at 30 June 2017 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 on interim fi nancial reporting, which provides for the presentation of selected notes to the fi nancial statements. As such, the interim consolidated fi nancial statements do not include all of the notes and information required by IFRS standards for annual fi nancial statements and must be read in conjunction with the consolidated fi nancial statements for 2016, taking into account concerns specifi c to the preparation of interim fi nancial statements.

Acquisition of Pioneer Investments

On 3 July 2017, Amundi acquired companies belonging to the Pioneer Investments group from UniCredit.

This transaction, for which a final agreement had been signed in December 2016, remained, until then, subject to the usual closing conditions, in particular, approval from the relevant regulatory authorities (regulators and antitrust).

Given the actual completion date, this acquisition is not recognised in Amundi's consolidated fi nancial statements. In fact, at 30 June 2017, Amundi did not have control, only protective rights prohibiting infl uence over the variability of Pioneer Investments' risks and returns.

Details of the impacts of this transaction are, however, provided in note 6 (subsequent events).

1.1.1 Standards applied on 30/06/2017

The accounting principles and methods chosen by Amundi Group to prepare its consolidated fi nancial statements at 30 June 2017 are identical to those used for the preparation of the consolidated statements for the period ending on 31 December 2016.

1.1.2 Standards adopted by the EU and applicable in advance

In addition, Amundi did not choose to apply the standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union early, when fi rst required application is for fi scal periods opening after 30 June 2017:

Standards, amendments and interpretations Date of publication by
the European Union
Application dates
for fi scal periods
starting from
IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" 22 November 2016
(EU 2016/2067)
1 January 2018
IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" 22 September 2016
(EU 2016/1905)
1 January 2018

IFRS 9 "Financial instruments"

This standard, adopted by the European Union on 22 November 2016 and published in the Offi cial Journal of the European Union on 29 November 2016, is intended to replace IAS 39 "Financial Instruments".

IFRS 9 will come into force on a mandatory basis for fi scal years beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

It sets new principles governing the classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial instruments, impairment of credit risk and hedge accounting, excluding macro-hedging transactions.

The main changes made by the standard

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Under IFRS 9, classifi cation and measurement criteria are dependent on the nature of the fi nancial asset, whether they are classed as debt instruments (i.e. loans, advances, credits, bonds, fund units) or equity instruments (i.e. shares).

As regards debt instruments (loans and fi xed or determinable-income securities), IFRS 9, on the one hand, uses a management model (pure hold to collect model, mixed model or pure hold to sell model) and, on the other, an analysis of contractual cash fl ow characteristics ("Solely Payments of Principal & Interests" test or "SPPI" test), to classify and measure fi nancial assets.

As regards equity instruments (equity-type investments), these must, by default, be recognised at fair value through profi t or loss, apart from an irrevocable option of classifi cation at fair value in non-recyclable equity (provided that such instruments are not held for trading purposes).

WRITE-DOWN

IFRS 9 introduces a new impairment model which requires Expected Credit Losses or ECL to be recognised on debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at fair value in recyclable equity and on fi nancial guarantee contracts which are not recognised at fair value.

This new ECL approach aims to allow expected credit losses to be recognised as early as possible, whilst in the IAS 39 impairment model, this is conditional on the establishment of an objective incurred loss event.

ECL is defi ned as the probability-weighted estimate of discounted credit loss (principal and interest). It is the actual value of the difference between contractual cash fl ows and expected cash fl ows (principal and interest).

The new credit risk provisioning model distinguishes between three different stages:

  • p Stage 1: right from the initial recognition of the instrument (loan, debt security, guarantee, etc.), the entity recognises credit losses expected over 12 months;
  • p Stage 2: secondly, if the credit quality deteriorates signifi cantly for a given transaction or portfolio, the entity recognises the losses expected over its lifetime;
  • p Stage 3: thirdly, from the moment that one or more default events occur in respect of the transaction or the counterparty and have a damaging effect on estimated future cash fl ows, the entity recognises objective evidence of impairment.

HEDGE ACCOUNTING

As regards hedge accounting (not including fair value macro-hedging), IFRS 9 makes limited changes to IAS 39. The standard's provisions apply to the following scope:

  • p all micro-hedges; and
  • p macro cash fl ow hedging only.

1.1.3 IFRS not yet adopted by the European Union

Fair value macro-hedging of interest rate risk is not included and may still be covered by IAS 39 (optional).

When IFRS 9 is fi rst adopted, the standard offers two options:

  • p to apply the IFRS 9 section on "hedging"; or
  • p to continue to apply IAS 39 until IFRS 9 is adopted for all hedging relationships (at the latest, when the fair value macro-hedging of interest rates text is adopted by the European Union).

In accordance with the Group's decision, Amundi will not apply this section of the standard.

At this stage, and after analysing the impact on the fi nancial statements at 31 December 2016, Amundi does not anticipate any signifi cant impact in relation to the implementation of this new standard.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

This standard will apply to fi nancial years starting on or after 1 January 2018 (in accordance with Regulation EU 2016/1905). The amendment "Clarifi cation of IFRS 15", which adds further detail, is in the process of being adopted by the European Union and should take effect at that same date.

IFRS 15 will replace IAS 11 "Construction Contracts" and IAS 18 "Revenue", as well as all related interpretations, IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programs", IFRIC 15 "Agreements For The Construction Of Real Estate", IFRIC 18 "Transfers Of Assets From Customers" and SIC 31 "Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services".

IFRS 15 brings into a single norm the principles for recognising revenue for long-term sales contracts, the sale of property and services rendered that do not fall within the scope of standards concerning fi nancial instruments (IAS 39), insurance contracts (IFRS 4) and leases (IAS 17). It introduces new concepts that could change the way certain items of net banking income are recognised.

At this point, and based on the impact studies carried out, Amundi does not anticipate any signifi cant impacts in relation to the application of this new standard.

In addition, the standards and interpretations published by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union will not become compulsory until they are adopted and were therefore not applied by the Group on 30 June 2017. The standards cover the following, in particular:

Standards, amendments and interpretations Date of publication
by the IASB
Application dates
for fi scal periods
starting from
IFRS improvements (2014-2016 cycle): Amendments to IFRS 12 "Disclosure of interests
in other entities"
8 December 2016 1 January 2017
IFRS 16 "Leases" 13 January 2016 1 January 2019

IFRS 16 "Leases" will replace IAS 17 and related interpretations (IFRIC 4 "Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease", SIC 15 "Operating Leases – Incentives" and SIC 27 "Evaluating the Substance of Transactions in the Legal Form of a Lease"). It will apply to reporting periods beginning 1 January 2019.

The main change made by IFRS 16 has to do with accounting for lessees. IFRS 16 will call for a model in respect of lessees that recognises all leases on the balance sheet, with a lease liability on the liability side representing commitments over the life of the lease, and on the asset side, an amortisable right-to-use.

1.2 PRESENTATION FORMAT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Amundi presents its balance sheet in decreasing liquidity order. The assets and liabilities balance sheet is presented in notes 2.2.3 and 2.2.4.

The income statement is presented by nature in note 2.2.1.

The main income statement aggregates are:

  • p net income, including net revenue from commissions and other customer activities (note 2.1) and net fi nancial income (note 2.2);
  • p operating expenses (note 2.4);
  • p cost of risk (note 2.5);
  • p the share of net income from equity-accounted entities;
  • p net gains (losses) on other assets (note 2.6).

1.3 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

The accounting principles and methods used by the Group are described in detail in the 2016 consolidated fi nancial statements.

1.3.1 Use of assumptions and estimates for the preparation of the half-year fi nancial statements

In order to prepare the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS accounting standards, the Group carries out a number of estimates and retains certain assumptions it deems realistic and reasonable. The estimates relate to the identifi cation of income and expenses and the valuation of assets and liabilities as well as the information in the notes to the fi nancial statements.

The exercise assumes that Management applies its judgement based on the information available at the time the statements are prepared. Due to the uncertainties inherent in any valuation process, the Group revises its estimates based on information updated on a regular basis. It is therefore possible that the future results of the operations in question differ from the estimates.

Future results can be impacted by a number of different factors, notably (but not exclusively):

  • p national and international market activity;
  • p interest rate, currency, stock and credit spread fl uctuations;
  • p the economic and political environment in certain business sectors and countries;
  • p changes in regulations and legislation.

The signifi cant estimates made by the Group to prepare the fi nancial statements relate primarily to:

  • p assessment of the recoverable amount of goodwill;
  • p appreciation of the concept of control;
  • p the fair value measurement of fi nancial instruments;

  • p the valuation of provisions for guarantees granted to structured funds, retirement obligations and legal and regulatory risks;

  • p write-downs of available-for-sale securities.

No major changes occurred in these areas in the fi rst half of 2017.

1.3.2 Accounting principles applicable on the interim closing date

Seasonal nature of the business

Since the Group's business is not seasonal or cyclical in nature, its fi rsthalf results are not infl uenced by such factors.

However, fees and commissions payable or receivable that are contingent upon meeting a performance target are recognised at an interim date only if all the following conditions are met:

  • p the amount of fees and commissions can be reliably estimated;
  • p it is probable that the future economic benefi ts resulting from the services rendered will fl ow to the Company;
  • p the stage of completion of the service can be reliably estimated; and the costs incurred for the service and the costs to complete it can be reliably estimated.

Performance fees are therefore recognised in the income statement at the end of the calculation period, except for moneymarket funds, for which they are recognised on an ongoing basis at each interim accounts closing date.

Taxes

As part of preparing the interim fi nancial statements, the (current and deferred) tax charge was estimated using the estimated average annual rate.

Retirement obligations

Pension costs for the interim period are calculated based on actuarial valuations made for the previous fi nancial year, as the Group does not conduct actuarial valuations during the year. However, these year-end actuarial valuations are adjusted to take into account non-recurring events during the fi rst half that are likely to have an impact on the Group's obligations. Furthermore, the amounts recognised as defi ned-benefi t plans are adjusted if necessary in order to take into account any major changes that may have affected the yield on bonds issued by leading businesses in the area involved (standard used to determine the discount rate) and the real return on hedging assets.

On 30 June 2017, Amundi did not adjust the discount rate used in the fi nancial statements at 31 December 2016 due to the fact that iBoxx rates were more or less unchanged.

(1) Simultaneous adjustment of the quantity and fair value of shares following the capital increase in the fi rst half of 2017 (preservation of rights and interests of benefi ciaries).

(2) Performance conditions are based on net income Group share (NIGS), amount of new assets and the Group's cost-to-income ratio.

Amundi measures the shares awarded and recognises an expense determined on the grant date based on the market value of the options on that date. The assumptions that may be revised during the vesting period giving rise to an adjustment to the expense are those relating to the benefi ciaries (options forfeited on dismissal or resignation).

NOTE 4 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments measured at fair value on the balance sheet are valued on the basis of listed prices or valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable data.

4.1 DERIVATIVES

The valuation of derivatives includes:

  • p an adjustment for the quality of the counterparty (credit value adjustment or CVA) intended to include the credit risk associated with the counterparty in the valuation of derivative instruments (risk of nonpayment of the amount due in the event of default). The adjustment is calculated on an aggregate basis by counterparty according to the future exposure profi le of the transactions after deducting any collateral. This adjustment is always negative and is deducted from the fair value of the fi nancial assets;
  • p a value adjustment for the credit risk for our Company (debt value adjustment – DVA) intended to integrate the risk associated with our counterparties in the valuation of derivative instruments. The adjustment is calculated on an aggregate basis by counterparty based on the future exposure profi le of the transactions. This adjustment is always positive and is deducted from the fair value of the fi nancial liabilities.

4.2 OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Other fi nancial assets

Listed u nconsolidated equity securities (primarily Resona Holding), listed bonds and fund units with a liquidation value available at least twice a month are classifi ed as Level 1. All other assets and liabilities valued at fair value are classifi ed as Level 2 with the exception of Private Equity funds which are classifi ed as Level 3.

Other fi nancial liabilities

Liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss result from the consolidation of EMTN issue vehicles. These liabilities are classifi ed as Level 2.

4.5 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT COST

Financial assets and liabilities valued at cost primarily include loans and receivables to credit institutions and the collateral paid and received for derivatives contracts.

With respect to daily margin calls, Amundi Group considers that the collateral posted and received is recognised at its fair value under "Accruals, prepayments and sundry assets" and "Accruals, deferred income and sundry liabilities".

primarily of: p variable-rate assets and liabilities for which interest rate changes do not have a signifi cant impact on fair value, since the rates of return of these instruments frequently adjust themselves to market rates (loans

Amundi Group considers that the amortised cost of loans and receivables to credit institutions is a good approximation of fair value. This consists

p short-term assets and liabilities where the redemption value is close to the market value.

NOTE 5 OTHER INFORMATION

5.1 SEGMENT INFORMATION

Amundi's business is solely focused on managing assets for third parties. It therefore has only one operating segment within the meaning of IFRS 8.

The Group's operational performance is not tracked more closely than the Group overall. The items reviewed in more detail are limited, on a monthly basis, to information about the Group's volume of activity (infl ows, assets) and, periodically, to information about net commission income by customer segment (retail, institutional). The Group believes that this information corresponds better to monitoring of commercial activity than to measurement of operational performance for the purposes of decisionmaking for resource allocation. Operating expenses are not allocated to client segments (retail and institutional).

However, the Group believes that it is helpful to publish the information about commercial activity which is shown below as information complementary to that required by IFRS 8:

The net revenue break-down is based on the location at which the accounting information is recorded.

3.1 STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly fi nancial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specifi c verifi cation of information given in the group's half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.

For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2017

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings and in accordance with the requirements of article L.451-1-2 III of the French monetary and fi nancial code (Code monétaire et fi nancier), we hereby report to you on:

  • p the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated fi nancial statements of Amundi, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2017,
  • p the verifi cation of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated fi nancial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these fi nancial statements based on our review.

I. CONCLUSION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim fi nancial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for fi nancial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all signifi cant matters that might be identifi ed in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated fi nancial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim fi nancial information.

II. SPECIFIC VERIFICATION

We have also verifi ed the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated fi nancial statements subject to our review.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated fi nancial statements.
