1.1 MACRO-ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2021

The first half of 2021 was dominated by confirmation of the global economic recovery, with the progress of vaccination programmes making it possible to significantly ease the restrictions aimed at curbing the Covid-19 epidemic. However, the pace of this improvement varied by region: whereas at the beginning of the year the United States was already showing numerous signs of improvement, reinforced by the expectations raised by the start of Biden's term of office, most of the closed sectors of the European economy did not reopen until the second quarter. In the markets, there was a two-stage development in long-term rates, with an increase in Q1 followed by consolidation in Q2. On the whole, equity indices rose sharply during the six-month period.

United States

Economic activity improved significantly in the United States in the first half of the year, due to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions and significant public support measures. Business climate indicators in both the industrial and service sectors rose sharply in the first quarter before falling slightly in the second, nevertheless remaining at very high levels. The unemployment rate continued to fall, from 6.7% in December 2020 to 5.9% in June 2021. Inflation, on the other hand, accelerated sharply, due in particular to the base effects of the price of oil and disruptions to global industrial chains: in June, the general price index was up 5.4% over 12 months, with the underlying index (excluding energy and food) up 4.5%. Even so, the Federal Reserve continued to provide exceptional monetary support. Finally, H1 saw the new President take up his post. In addition to increasing the public spending aimed at dealing directly with the epidemic, Joe Biden announced significant budgetary measures to relaunch and transform the economy.

Eurozone

At the beginning of the first quarter, the temporary tightening of restrictions aimed at slowing down the Covid-19 epidemic had a significant impact on the eurozone economy. While industry remained resilient, some service activities were severely disrupted. The situation then became clearer, though, as companies adapted gradually and, above all, the virus receded as vaccination programmes progressed. At the end of the first half of the year, when the vast majority of activities had returned to near-normal, fears nevertheless re-emerged as a result of an increase in infections linked to a new variant of the virus. Over the entire half-year, employment protection measures continued to prevent the unemployment rate rising, keeping it virtually stable at around 8%. Inflation, which was still slightly negative at the end of 2020, rose to 1.9% in June 2021. The ECB maintained its non-standard monetary policy measures. Finally, having passed all the steps in the approval process, the European recovery fund NGEU issued its first loans in mid-June.

Emerging countries

In general, the macro-economic situation in emerging countries continued to improve at the beginning of H1, following the catch-up that took place at the end of 2020. In addition to the upturn in domestic demand, this improvement was boosted by the recovery in advanced economies and improved terms of trade for producers of raw materials. However, the tightening of global financial conditions, particularly due to the rise in US long-term rates, was unfavourable to emerging countries, most of which have limited fiscal and monetary leeway after a year-long pandemic. With inflation also on the rise, some central banks have ended their cycle of rate cuts, some have opted for the status quo and others have raised their interest rates faster and/or more substantially than expected. At the end of H1, the rapid spread of new Covid variants fuelled new uncertainties, particularly in countries where the vaccination rate remained low.

Interest rates

Influenced by an increasingly convincing economic recovery and a rise in inflation, US long-term yields rose sharply in the first quarter, with the 10-year rate rising from 0.92% at the end of December 2020 to 1.74% at the end of March 2021, despite the Federal Reserve's ongoing security purchases. German yields reflected this trend, albeit to a lesser extent, while the ECB's action continued to compress interest rate spreads between eurozone countries. However, the trend reversed in Q2: US yields gradually narrowed to 1.44% at the end of June, with their European counterparts also moving away from their highs. Portfolio rotation, market scepticism about the sustainability of the increase in inflation, the gradual slowdown of the recovery in the United States and heightened concerns associated with new variants of the virus are the most likely explanations for this consolidation.

Equity

The first half of the year was highly beneficial for equity markets, with the MSCI World index rising by 13.3% over the period. A positive news flow was fuelled by a Democratic majority in the US Senate, indicating a strong recovery, announcements of Joe Biden's budget plans, the ongoing economic recovery and the progress of vaccination programmes. The sharp rise in US long-term rates in the first quarter did not prevent equities increasing in this way. Overall, the indices of developed economies fared better than those in emerging countries, which suffered in particular from the increase in US long-term rates. Among developed economies, when measured in dollars, performance was slightly better in the United States than in the eurozone. From a sectoral point of view, in Europe, value stocks did better than growth stocks in the first quarter, but this trend was reversed in Q2.

1.2 ASSET MANAGEMENT MARKET IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2021

The first half of 2021 saw a sharp recovery in the European asset management market, with €264 billion in net inflows(1) (Broadridge data as of the end of May 2021). This net inflow

AMUNDI - HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 7

2.1 AMUNDI OPERATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

In the first half of 2021, Amundi posted strong results in a very positive market environment. Activity in MLT (1) assets is solid and improving, with a confirmed recovery in the appetite for risk among clients. A very high level of performance fees in particular led to improved operational efficiency, with a cost-to-income ratio of 47.2% in the first half of 2021, while development investment remained stable. Adjusted net income achieved a record high.

The strategic initiatives launched in 2020 (the partnership with Banco Sabadell, the joint venture with Bank of China, and Amundi Technology) are beginning to pay off. The acquisition of Lyxor will be a new growth driver, and preparations are progressing for its integration.

These strong performances demonstrate the relevance of the development strategy Amundi has implemented since it was founded.

2.1.1 Activity: assets under management and net inflows

2.1.1.1 Development of assets under Amundi management

The assets managed by Amundi (2) totalled €1,794 billion as of 30 June 2021, an increase of 12.7% year-on-year and +3.8% compared to the end of December 2020, with a positive market effect of +€70.7 billion and a limited outflow of -€5.5 billion (+€28.5 billion in MLT assets and -€34.0 billion in treasury).

* Assets under management and inflows, incl. Sabadell AM from Q3 2020 onwards and BOC WM from Q1 2021 onwards, and including assets under advisory and assets sold, comprising 100% of the Asian JVs' net inflows and assets under management. For Wafa in Morocco, assets are reported on a proportional consolidation basis.

Market conditions in the first half of 2021 were very favourable, with an average equity market increase of 22% (Stoxx 600 index) in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020.

Over the first six months of the year, total inflows were -€5.5 billion, taking into account treasury product outflows (-€34.0 billion) mainly by Institutional and Corporate clients. The momentum is very positive in medium-long-term assets, however (+€28.5 billion), driven in particular by active management.

2.1.1.2 Assets under management(1) and inflows by client segment

* Including funds of funds.

A sharp recovery in Retail MLT asset activity (excluding JVs)

Against a backdrop of an ongoing upturn in risk appetite, the Retail segment posted solid activity, with positive inflows in MLT assets (+€17.3 billion), driven by international networks (+€8.3 billion, including +€3.4 billion for the new Chinese subsidiary Amundi BOC WM) and third-party distributors (+€8.7 billion). In contrast, French network activity was more mixed (+€0.4 billion), due to outflows prior to maturity in structured products linked to favourable market conditions; activity remained at a good level for unit-linked products, however. Treasury products saw an outflow of -€2.3 billion. Inflows totalled +€15.0 billion overall.

Institutional investors: sustained flows in MLT and treasury outflows

This half-year saw sustained activity in MLT assets (+€17.3 billion), driven by all client segments, particularly Institutional and Sovereign investors. In treasury products, the outflow of -€33.2 billion is linked to the market context (negative yields on money market products) and the seasonal effect of dividend payments. Outflows totalled -€19.1 billion overall.

Good momentum in JVs but early outflows on the Channel Business in China

The Indian JV continued its development trajectory with inflows of +€3.4 billion; SBI MF maintained its leading position in the Indian market with a market share of 15.8% at the end of June 2021(2). In Korea, flows became positive once again (+€1.8 billion). In China (ABC-CA), activity in Mutual Funds remained solid at +€2.9 billion, with expected outflows from low-margin products (Channel Business) linked to regulatory developments continuing at -€9.9 billion. Outflows from JVs totalled -€1.4 billion overall.

Treasury products

Outflows on treasury products can be explained by outflows from Institutional and Corporate clients in particular, associated with the market context (negative yields on money market products) and the seasonal effect of dividend payments.

MLT assets excluding JVs

Business momentum was driven by active management and by diversified products and equities in particular.

  • In active management, the majority of areas of expertise contributed to inflows of +€24.8 billion, particularly with the success of diversified funds aimed at Retail clients and OCIO(2) offerings for Institutional investors, as well as thematic equity products.
  • Passive management, ETF(3) and smart beta experienced a good first half-year with a net inflow of +€6.3 billion, taking assets to €184 billion at the end of June 2021.
  • Activity in real and structured assets was mixed, with an inflow of +€0.4 billion in the first half of 2021. Flows of real assets remained solid (+€2.3 billion), particularly in private debt and private equity, but structured products saw outflows (prior to maturity) of -€1.9 billion, in connection with favourable market conditions.

2.1.2 Growth initiatives

2020 saw the launch of several strategic initiatives that will strengthen the Group's growth over the next few years and which have already yielded results in the first half of 2021:

Sabadell AM: successful integration and success of the partnership with Banco Sabadell

12 months after the acquisition of Sabadell AM on 30 June 2020, it was fully integrated both in terms of technology (IT migration to ALTO(1)) and operations (management and sales teams and oversight functions). The start of the partnership with Banco Sabadell has been very promising, resulting in increased market share(2); activity over the first 12 months reached record highs, with more than €1.5 billion in net inflows (Amundi and Sabadell AM funds) within the Banco Sabadell network. More than 50% of the synergies announced(3) are expected to be achieved in 2021.

Successful launch of the new Wealth Management subsidiary with Bank of China (China's fourth largest bank)

Following the operational launch of this new subsidiary (of which Amundi owns 55%) in the fourth quarter of 2020, good

commercial headway is being made, with approximately 50 funds launched since its creation and growing commitment among the BOC network to the subsidiary's products (in particular maturing funds and green funds). Over the first half of the year as a whole, net inflows totalled +€3.4 billion.

Ramp-up of Amundi Technology

The development of Amundi Technology, the new business line dedicated to technology services, progressed and it posted €19 million in revenue in the first half of 2021. The roll-out of offerings continued with seven new clients (29 in total as of the end of June 2021), including:

  • AG2R La Mondiale (€120 billion in assets under management) with an offering that combines the cloudbased ALTO Investment (PMS) platform with dealing, middle office and reporting services;
  • Agrica with ALTO ESR, the group insurance software from the ALTO range.

(1) The cost of risk (-€18m) accounts for the adjustment of provisions for regulatory risks, following the hearing held by the AMF Enforcement Committee on 7 July 2021. Following a special enquiry conducted between 2017 and 2019, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers ("AMF"), the French regulatory body, notified Amundi of various complaints on June 12th 2020. These grievances relate to a limited number of transactions executed in 2014 and 2015 by two former employees. Amundi fully cooperated with the regulatory authorities to address this issue.

Adjusted data (1)

In the first half of 2021, the sharp increase in revenue was linked to very favourable market conditions (average increase in equity markets: Stoxx 600 index +22% in H1 2021 compared to H1 2020) with an exceptional amount of performance fees.

Operating expenses increased but remained under control. This results in an exceptionally low cost-to-income ratio of 47.2%. Excluding the exceptional level of performance fees(2), the costto-income ratio is approximately 51%.

    • the inflow momentum, particularly in MLT assets, in Q4 2020 and in 2021;
    • the integration of Sabadell AM.

2.1.3.2 Adjusted operating expenses and gross operating income

Operating expenses totalled €764 million in H1 2021, up 17.8% compared with H1 2020. This can be explained by:

  • a €26 million scope of consolidation effect (launch of the Amundi BOC WM subsidiary, integration of Sabadell AM and full consolidation of Fund Channel);
  • an adjustment to the provision for variable compensation linked to the increase in operating income;(1)
  • ongoing development investment, particularly in Amundi Technology.

The cost-to-income ratio was 47.2% in the first half of the year. Excluding the exceptional level of performance fees(2), the costto-income ratio is approximately 51%.

  • restatement of amortisation of the distribution contracts (recognised as a deduction from net income) with SG up to November 2020, Bawag, UniCredit and Banco Sabadell;
  • exclusion of the non-recurring net tax saving (with no impact on cash flow) of +€114 million: under the Italian finance law for 2021 (Law no. 178/2020), the Affrancamento mechanism results in the recognition of a deferred tax asset in intangible assets (goodwill); this is excluded from adjusted net income.

(1) Excluding performance fees and JVs.

(2) The exceptional level of performance fees = greater than average performance fees per quarter in 2017-2020.

These adjusted data are reconciled with accounting data as follows:

2.2 RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT

Amundi is cementing its leadership position by actively pursuing implementation of its ESG action plan:

  • As of 30 June 2021, ESG assets under management totalled €798 billion. Changes since 31 December 2020 (€378 billion) can be attributed to:
    • the continued integration of ESG criteria into traditional management;
    • high levels of inflows in H1 (+€18.7 billion in MLT), mainly under active management, with good momentum for Climate and Environment solutions, ESG bond funds and the range of thematic Equity funds.
  • Around 700 open-ended funds, dedicated funds and mandates, i.e. more than €680 billion in assets under management (compared with around €450 billion at the end of March 2021), are classified under Articles 8 and 9(1) of the SFDR regulation(2), making Amundi a leader in this area.

Furthermore, Amundi is extending its ESG commitment:

  • In anticipation of COP 26 in Glasgow, Amundi has joined the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (with commitments in keeping with the trajectory of the Paris Agreements), which brings together asset managers who are committed to the target of net zero emissions by 2050.
  • Amundi is a founding member of Investors for a Just Transition, an international coalition of asset managers and asset owners who are committed to promoting a fair transition to low-carbon economies and who represent a total of €3,600 billion in assets under management.
  • The development of ESG products and solutions continues with the extension of the "ESG Improvers" range (new bond funds) and the launch of the BFT France Emploi ISR social impact fund.

AMUNDI - HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 15

As of 30 June 2021, the financial structure remained robust: tangible equity(1) amounted to €3.5 billion on 30 June 2021, an increase of +€0.3 billion from the end of 2020. The CET1 ratio was 19.9% at the end of June 2021, making it possible to absorb the impact of the Lyxor acquisition that is expected to take place at the end of the year, while maintaining a level that is much higher than regulatory requirements(2).

For the record, in May 2021, the rating agency Fitch renewed its A+ rating with a stable outlook, the best in the sector.

3.1 SOLVENCY RATIO

As shown in the table below, Amundi's CET1 solvency ratio was 19.9% as of 30 June 2021, versus 20.0% at the end of December 2020.

Over the first half of 2021, the CET1 ratio remained generally stable: the proportion of retained earnings offset the increase in risk-weighted assets, due mainly to the impact of the CRR2 regulation in 30 June 2021, and to a lesser extent, to growth in business activity.

With a CET1 ratio of 19.9% and a total capital ratio of 22%, Amundi meets regulatory requirements by a wide margin.

(1) Shareholders' equity excluding goodwill and intangible assets.

(2)For the record, the estimated prudential impact of this acquisition for Amundi, on the basis of data as of 31 December 2020: regulatory capital consumption of 670 bps and a pro-forma CET1 ratio of 13.3% at the end of 2020 as opposed to the 20.0% reported.

3.2 NET FINANCIAL DEBT

As of 30 June 2021, Amundi had a net lending position (economic vision) of €2,157 million (compared with €1,894 million as of 31 December 2020), as shown in the table below:

In € millions 30/06/2021 31/12/2020
a. Net cash (2,055) (1,850)
b. Voluntary investments (excl. seed money) in money market funds and short-term bank deposits (376) (1,351)
c. Voluntary investments (excl. seed money) in fixed income funds (2,482) (2,308)
d. Liquidity (a+b+c) (4,913) (5,509)
e. Position net of margin calls on derivatives(1) 531 400
Debited to balance sheet (388) 251
Credited to balance sheet 919 651
f. Short-term debts to credit institutions 205 1,077
g. Current portion (<1 year) of medium and long-term debts to credit institutions 1,069 569
h. Current financial debts to credit institutions (f+g) 1,274 1,646
i. Long-term portion (>1 year) of medium and long-term debts to credit institutions 951 1,569
j. Non-current financial debts to credit institutions 951 1,569
K. NET FINANCIAL DEBT (ECONOMIC OUTLOOK) (H+J+D+E) (2,157) (1,894)

(1) The main factor in the change 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)Debts to credit institutions carry no guarantees or surety.

Liquidity ratios

In June 2021, Amundi's LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio, covering its liquidity requirements under a significant stress scenario lasting one month) was 169% on a 12-month average, compared with 286% in June 2020. The LCR aims to promote the shortterm resilience of the liquidity risk profile of credit institutions by ensuring that they have sufficient unencumbered, high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) at their disposal which can be quickly and easily liquidated on private markets, in the event of a liquidity crisis lasting 30 calendar days. A limit on this ratio has been imposed upon credit institutions since 1 October 2015, and since 2018, the minimum threshold for compliance has been 100%.

In addition, it should be remembered that on 23 October 2015, Amundi Group signed a €1,750 million syndicated multi-currency revolving credit agreement with an international syndicate of lenders, with an initial maturity of five years from the date of the agreement which was renewed in October 2017 bringing the maturity date to 23 October 2022. The aim of this agreement is to increase the Group's liquidity profile in all the currencies it covers. It includes two covenants, both of which had been fulfilled as of 30 June 2021:

  • a minimum level of tangible shareholders' equity. As of 30 June 2021, this amounted to €3.46 billion;
  • a financial leverage (gearing) ratio of net debt to tangible shareholders' equity. As of 30 June 2021, this ratio was -5.9%.

Note: Definitions of debt

It is noted that the net debt used to calculate gearing is contractually defined as the sum of financial debt less available cash and cash equivalents (cash, deposits with central banks and voluntary investment portfolio monetary assets).

As regards net financial debt (economic vision) shown in the table above, the net debt used to calculate gearing therefore excludes fixed-income voluntary investments (line c) and net margin calls (line e) and was -€205 million at the end of June 2021.

The NSFR (Net Stable Funding Ratio) is a stock ratio (the LCR being a flow ratio) that compares assets with an actual or potential maturity of more than one year with liabilities with an actual or potential maturity of more than one year. To determine the NSFR, a weighting is allocated to each item on the balance sheet (and to certain off-balance sheet items), which reflects their potential for maturing in more than one year.

Amundi Group is subject to European regulations in this area (Regulation 575-2013 as amended by Regulation 2019-876 of 20 May 2019). As such, from 28 June 2021, Amundi has to observe an NSFR ratio of at least 100%. The Group believes that it is already in a position to comply with this requirement.

4.1 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The main related party transactions are described in note 5.2.3 "Related party transactions", of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2021.

4.2 RECENT EVENTS AND OUTLOOK

Acquisition of Lyxor

On 7 April 2021, Amundi announced in a press release that it was entering into exclusive negotiations with Société Générale with a view to acquiring Lyxor(1) for the cash sum of €825 million. Final agreement was reached on 11 June 2021, when a framework contract was signed between Amundi and Société Générale.

The Société Générale subsidiary is Europe's third largest player in the ETF market, with total assets under management amounting to €124 billion at the end of December 2020. This transaction is expected to make Amundi the European leader in ETF management.

The deal is expected to complete at the end of 2021, subject to prior approval from the competent regulatory and competition authorities.

Covid-19 health crisis

The Covid-19 epidemic dominated 2020, with a health crisis becoming an economic crisis, resulting in a fall in the financial markets and increased volatility. The epidemic has continued in 2021, although at this stage it has not had a significant impact on the Group's business. The magnitude and duration of this crisis are nevertheless still difficult to predict.

AMF

Following a special investigation conducted between 2017 and 2019, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF, the French financial markets authority) notified Amundi (Amundi AM and Amundi Intermédiation) of various complaints on 12 June 2020. The complaints involve a limited number of transactions

conducted by two former employees between 2014 and 2015. Amundi has fully cooperated with this complaints procedure. This case went before the AMF Sanctions Committee on 7 July 2021.

(1) Some of Lyxor's activities are excluded from the scope of the transaction and have been retained by Société Générale: (i) structured management solutions for Société Générale's global markets clients and (ii) asset management activities specifically for savings solutions and carried out on behalf of Société Générale (networks and private banking) such as the structuring of saving solutions, fund selection and the oversight of Société Générale Group's asset management companies.

The "We Share Amundi" capital increase reserved for employees (announced on 14 June) was successfully completed on 29 July 2021. More than one in three employees worldwide, and over half of employees in France, took part in this transaction, which, for the third consecutive year, offered a share subscription with a 30% discount. Nearly 1,700 employees in 15 countries subscribed to this capital increase for nearly €25 million.

The transaction was implemented under existing legal authorisations approved by the General Meeting on 10 May 2021 and reflects Amundi's ambition to involve its employees not only in the company's growth but also in its economic value creation. It also helps strengthen our employees' sense of belonging.

The impact of this reserved capital increase on net earnings per share is negligible: 488,698 shares were created (representing 0.24% of capital before the transaction). This issue brings the number of shares making up Amundi's share capital to 203,074,651.

Employees now hold 0.8% of Amundi's share capital, compared with 0.6% before the capital increase.

4.4 RISK FACTORS

The Group's main risk factors are detailed in Chapter 5 "Risk management and capital adequacy" of Amundi Group's 2020 Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on 12 April 2021.

The occurrence of all or any of these risks could have a negative impact on Amundi Group's businesses, financial position and results. Furthermore, other risks not yet currently identified or not considered to be significant by the Group as of the date of this report could have a negative impact on Amundi Group.

Period highlights

The scope of consolidation and its changes at 30 June 2021 are presented in detail in note 5.3.

We highlight here the main events affecting the Group's life during the first half of 2021.

Acquisition of Lyxor

On 7 April 2021, Amundi announced in a press release that it was entering into exclusive negotiations with Société Générale with a view to acquiring Lyxor for the cash sum of €825 million (i.e. €755 million excluding excess capital).

Final agreement was reached on 11 June 2021, when a contract was signed between Amundi and Société Générale. The scope of the transaction excluded structured management solutions for Société Générale's global markets clients and asset management activities dedicated to savings solutions and carried out on behalf of Société Générale (networks and private banking).

The Société Générale subsidiary is Europe's third largest player in the ETF market, with total assets under management amounting to €124 billion at the end of December 2020. This transaction is expected to make Amundi the European leader in ETF management.

The deal is expected to complete at the end of 2021, subject to prior approval from the competent regulatory and competition authorities.

Note 1 PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

1.1 Applicable standards and comparability

Amundi Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2021 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 regarding interim financial reporting, which allows for the presentation of selected notes to the financial statements. As such, the interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes and information required by IFRS standards for annual financial statements and must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 2020, subject to the specificities of the preparation of interim financial statements.

Covid-19 health crisis

The Covid-19 epidemic dominated 2020, with a health crisis becoming an economic crisis, resulting in a fall in the financial markets and increased volatility.

The epidemic has continued in 2021, although at this stage it has not had a significant impact on the Group's business.

The magnitude and duration of this crisis are nevertheless still difficult to predict.

Capital increase reserved to Group employees

In a press release issued on 14 June 2021, Amundi Group announced the launch of a capital increase reserved for employees which had been authorised by the General Meeting on 10 May 2021.

The subscription period for this capital increase reserved for employees ended on 29 June 2021.

Nearly 1,700 employees from 15 countries participated in the capital increase, subscribing to 487,852 new shares (0.2% of the share capital) for an overall amount of €24.9 million.

This capital increase will take place on 29 July 2021 and will increase the number of shares making up Amundi's share capital to 203,074,651 shares. Group employees will therefore hold 0.8% of Amundi's share capital, compared with 0.6% currently.

1.1.1 Standards applied as of 30 June 2021

The accounting principles and methods chosen by Amundi Group to prepare its consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2021 are identical to those used for the preparation of the consolidated statements for the period ended on 31 December 2020, prepared in accordance with EC Regulation 1606/2002, pursuant to IAS/IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European Union ("carve out" version).

They were supplemented by the provisions of IFRS standards as adopted by the European Union at 30 June 2021, application of which is mandatory for the first time in 2021.

These cover:

Benchmark index reforms

In 2021, the reform of benchmark indices entered an acceleration phase with milestones set by the alternative rates working groups and by the authorities. On 5 March 2021, the announcement by IBA – the administrator of LIBOR – confirmed the significant milestone that LIBOR would no longer be published or representative at the end of 2021. Therefore, depending on the currencies and asset classes, all stakeholders must gradually stop using the LIBOR indices for new contracts during the course of 2021 and can no longer use them at all after the end of 2021.

As things stand, the main benchmark indices used by Amundi Group, which ESMA defines as critical and which are affected by certain or potential transitions, are:

    1. the EONIA (which will be discontinued on 3 January 2022), for which the transition phase is currently being finalised;
    1. the EURIBOR and WIBOR, which may possibly be discontinued, although this is not expected in the short term.

It should be noted that, as of the date of these financial statements, none of the hedging instruments used by Amundi Group was affected by this reform.

Amundi Group does not therefore anticipate any significant impact in its financial statements in connection with these reforms and therefore the transition phase currently in progress.

1.1.2 IFRS standards not yet adopted by the European Union

Furthermore, standards and interpretations published by the IASB, but not yet adopted by the European Union, will enter into mandatory force only at the time of their adoption and therefore were not applied to the Group at 30 June 2021.

1.2 Presentation format of the financial statements

Amundi presents its balance sheet in decreasing liquidity order. Balance sheet assets and liabilities are presented in notes 5.2.3 and 5.2.4.

The income statement is presented by type in note 5.2.1.

The main income statement aggregates are:

  • net income, including net revenue from commissions and other customer activities (note 2.1) and net financial income (note 2.2);
  • operating expenses (note 2.4);
  • cost of risk (note 2.5);
  • the share of net income from equity-accounted entities;
  • net gains (losses) on other assets (note 2.6);
  • income tax (note 2.7).

1.3 Accounting methods and principles

Use of assumptions and estimates for the preparation of the half-year financial statements

In order to prepare the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group carries out a number of estimates and retains certain assumptions it deems realistic and reasonable. The estimates relate to the identification of income and expenses and the valuation of assets and liabilities as well as the information in the notes to the financial 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 transactions in question may differ from the estimates.

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

  • the economic and political environment in certain business sectors and countries;
  • risks associated with the financial markets, which include both national and international market trends as well as interest rate, exchange rate, equity and credit spread fluctuations. Amundi Group, in line with the immediate sensitivity of assets under management to any change in the financial markets (equities, interest rates, etc.), may be affected through its management income;
  • changes in regulations and legislation;
  • risks of non-compliance with regulations and legislation. Amundi conducts a regulated activity. In this context, its activities are regularly subject to inspections and investigation tasks of various regulators. Such inspections may highlight certain irregularities and may, in certain cases, lead to fines or other penalties.

The significant estimates made by the Group in preparing the interim consolidated financial statements relate primarily to:

  • assessment of the recoverable amount of goodwill and other intangible assets;
  • the fair value measurement of financial instruments;
  • assessment of provisions for guarantees granted to structured funds;
  • assessment of provisions for retirement obligations;
  • assessment of provisions for legal, regulatory and noncompliance risks.

All these assessments are carried out on the basis of the information available on the date of preparation of the financial statements.

Seasonal nature of the business

Since the Group's business is not seasonal or cyclical in nature, its first-half results are not influenced 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:

  • the amount of fees and commissions can be estimated reliably;
  • it is probable that the future economic benefits resulting from the services rendered will flow to the Company;
  • the stage of completion of the service can be estimated in a reliable way; and the costs incurred for the service and the costs to complete it can be estimated in a reliable way.

Performance fees are therefore recognised at the end of the calculation period.

Income taxes

As part of the preparation of the interim financial statements, the (current and deferred) tax expense was estimated using the estimated average annual rate method.

Retirement obligations

Pension costs for the interim period are calculated based on actuarial valuations made for the previous financial 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 first half that are likely to have an impact on the Group's obligations. Furthermore, the amounts recognised in respect of defined-benefit 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 companies in the area involved (reference used to determine the discount rate) and the actual return on hedging assets.

As of 30 June 2021, Amundi adjusted the discount rate used in the financial statements as of 31 December 2020 because iBoxx rates had changed significantly.

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:

  • an adjustment for the quality of the counterparty (Credit Value Adjustment or CVA) intended to factor the credit risk associated with the counterparty into the valuation of derivative instruments (risk of non-payment of the amount due in the event of default). The adjustment is calculated on an aggregate basis by counterparty according to the future exposure profile of the transactions after deducting any collateral. This adjustment is always negative and is deducted from the fair value of the financial instruments;
  • a value adjustment for the credit risk for our Company (Debt Value Adjustment DVA) intended to factor the risk associated with our counterparties into the valuation of derivative instruments. The adjustment is calculated on an aggregate basis by counterparty based on the future exposure profile of the transactions. This adjustment is always positive and is deducted from the fair value of the financial instruments.

4.2 Other financial assets and liabilities

Other financial assets

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

Other financial liabilities

Liabilities designated at fair value result from EMTN issuance vehicles. These liabilities are classified 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 to and receivables from credit institutions and the collateral paid and received for derivatives contracts.

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

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

  • variable-rate assets and liabilities for which interest rate changes do not have a significant impact on fair value, since the rates of return of these instruments frequently adjust themselves to market rates (loans and borrowings);
  • 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. Items that are reviewed at a closer level are limited to monthly reports on Group business volume (inflows, outstanding assets) and periodic reports on income net of commissions by client segment (Retail, Institutional). The Group believes that this information better corresponds to monitoring commercial activity than to measurement of operational performance for the purposes of decision-making for resource allocation. Operating expenses are not allocated to client segments (Retail and Institutional Investors).

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:

AMUNDI - HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 59

6.1 STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Period from 1 January to 30 June 2021

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 Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed half-year consolidated financial statements of Amundi, for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2021;
  • the verification of the information contained in the half-year management report.

The global crisis associated with the Covid-19 pandemic creates unusual conditions regarding the preparation and review of the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements. In fact, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken within the context of the public health emergency have a range of consequences for companies, particularly in terms of their business and financing, as well as increased uncertainty about their futureprospects. Some of these measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on companies' internal structures and on how we carry out our work.

These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the Board ofDirectors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial 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 financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The scope of a review is substantially narrower than that of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. Consequently, a review requires us to obtain moderate assurance that the financial statements taken as a whole do not contain any material errors, i.e. a lower level of assurance than would be obtained in an audit.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-year consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, the IFRS standard adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

II – Specific verification

We have also verified the information given in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements subject to our review.

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