CONSOLIDATED GROUP RESULTS AS OF 30 JUNE 2024

Group 2nd quarter 2024 results

Revenues

In the second quarter 2024 (hereinafter: 2Q24), net banking income (NBI) came to €12,270m, up by 3.9% compared to the second quarter 2023 on a distributable basis1 (hereinafter: 2Q23).

NBI at Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) rose strongly (12.1% vs. 2Q23), due to the combined impact of a good performance from all three business lines. In particular, Global Markets (+17.6% vs. 2Q23) benefited from the pronounced growth in revenues at Equity & Prime Services (+57.5% vs. 2Q23), by far offsetting the decrease at FICC (-7.0% vs. 2Q23). Global Banking revenues (+5.4% vs. 2Q23) were driven by Capital Markets (+12.5%6 vs. 2Q23) and Transaction Banking (+7.6%6 / 2Q23). Securities Services revenues also rose strongly (10.5% vs. 2Q23), driven by fee volumes and improvement in the interest margin.

NBI at Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS)7 was stable (-0.3% vs. 2Q23), thanks to growth at Commercial & Personal Banking (+1.7% vs. 2Q23), on the back of higher fees (+7.4% vs. 2Q23) and higher interest revenues (+3.8%), excluding the impact of certain headwinds (Belgian government bonds, non-remuneration of ECB mandatory reserves, and inflation hedges totalling €140m). The first two of these headwinds will fade away in the second half 2024.

Specialised Businesses revenues decreased (-3.6% vs. 2Q23), due mainly to Arval and Leasing Solutions (-5.5% vs. 2Q23), which were impacted by the change in used-car prices despite higher volumes. Personal Finance revenues were stable (-0.9% at constant scope and exchange rates), while New Digital Businesses and Personal Investors performed very well (+9.5% vs. 2Q23).

NBI at Investment & Protection Services (IPS) rose by 3.0% (+6.5% excluding the contribution of Real Estate and Principal Investments). Wealth Management (+6.1% vs. 2Q23), Insurance (+5.2% vs. 2Q23) and Asset Management (+9.8%8 / 2Q23) had a very good quarter and continued to support IPS's revenue growth.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses (€7,176m) were kept under control, while supporting growth in 2Q24. Their year-on-year change (+4.2% vs. 2Q23) was driven by the phasing effect of the DGS contribution in Italy (the €51m contribution was paid in the second quarter of 2024 whereas it was paid in the third and fourth quarters 2023). Excluding this impact, operating expenses were up by 3.5% vs. 2Q23 and the jaws effect was positive (+0.4 point). Moreover, the deployment of operational efficiency measures is expected to continue in the second half 2024, recording 65% of the €1bn 2024 guidance, including €350m of the €400m additional measures announced in March 2024.

CIB operating expenses were up significantly (+9.4% vs. 2Q23) but less so than revenues (+12.1% vs. 2Q23). The jaws effect was thus very positive (+2.7 points) at CIB overall, as well as at Global Markets (+6.3 points) and Securities Services (+4.8 points). Regarding Global Banking, operating expenses increased (+9.2% vs. 2Q23) compared to a low 2Q23 base.

Costs were up at CPBS7 (+5.6% vs. 2Q23), due mainly to Europe-Mediterranean. At Commercial & Personal Banking in the eurozone, operating expenses rose by 1.1% excluding the impact of the DGS contribution in Italy. When neutralising the aforementioned headwinds, the jaws effect was positive, above 1.5 points. Operating expenses fell by 1.0% at Specialised Businesses. The jaws effect was positive at Personal Finance and New Digital Businesses.

IPS operating expenses were stable (+0.1% vs. 2Q23) and down markedly at Real Estate. The jaws effect, above 2 percentage points in all business lines except Real Estate, was positive on the whole (+2.9 points).

On this basis, the Group gross operating income came to €5,094m in 2Q24, up by +3.4% compared to 2Q23 (€4,927m).

Cost of risk

Group cost of risk stood at €752m3 in 2Q24 (€609m in 2Q23), or 33 basis points of customer loans outstanding – still below 40 basis points thanks to the quality and diversification of the asset portfolio and despite a specific credit situation during the quarter. In 2Q24, the cost of risk reflects releases of €275m in provisions on performing loans (stages 1 and 2) and a €1,027m provision on non-performing loans (stage 3).

Operating income, pre-tax income and Net income, Group share

Group operating income amounted to €4,251m (€4,318m in 2Q23) and Group pre-tax income to €4,422m (€4,591m in 2Q23).

The average corporate income tax rate amounted to 20.8%, at an exceptionally low level reflecting a tax methodology change in the US, generating a one-off reduction in the tax expense recognised in 2Q24.

Net income, Group share came to €3,395m in 2Q24, close to its 2Q23 level (€3,343m).

On this basis, earnings per share4 amounted to 2.81 euros, up by +8.1% compared to 2Q23.

Artificial intelligence

In addition to this financial performance, the second quarter of 2024 showed the ongoing ambitious and disciplined development in artificial intelligence (AI), as illustrated by the number of use cases overall (780) and in the experimental stage (300, including 150 based on generative AI with LLM9 ), as well as by the recently expanded partnership with Mistral AI.

A few figures illustrate the investments and progress made: the Group employs about 800 AI specialists (data scientists or AI business analysts) and more than 260 initiatives/POCs10 with Fintechs (including Mistral AI) are under way. 49% of applications use a cloud infrastructure (+50% since the start of the plan in 2022), with a 2025 target of 60% and more than 1 billion transactions are carried out each month on the Group's API platforms (+56% vs. end 2023).

Cybersecurity accounts for 9% of the Group's total IT budget, and about 150,000 hours of training were provided on privacy and data protection in 2023.

Sustainability

2Q24 also confirmed BNP Paribas' leadership in Sustainability, as noted by recent rankings (and in particular the "World's Best Bank for Financial Inclusion" award at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2024). The second quarter saw the deployment of several innovative solutions to address client needs.

For example, the world's first gender bond (€50m) was arranged exclusively by the Group. This issuance finances improvement in parental leave and the acquisition of affordable homes for women in Iceland.

In Spain, a USD176.6m financial agreement was signed with Solarpack to build Peru's largest photovoltaic solar power farm, which will supply renewable energy to almost 440,000 homes from 2Q25.

Cardif has pledged to take part in launching the Fonds Objectif Biodiversité, with initial assets of more than €100m.

In Belgium, a €499m loan was granted to Umicore, a global specialist in recycling and clean mobility materials that is well placed to support the growing production of electric vehicles.

Group 1st half 2024 results

In the first half, NBI came to €24,753m, up by 1.7% compared to the 1st half 2023 on a distributable basis1 (hereinafter 1H23).

NBI at CIB (€9,158m) rose by 3.2% compared to 1H23, driven by the increase in revenues at Global Banking (+5.8% vs. 1H23) and Securities Services (+8.7% vs. 1H23).

NBI at CPBS7 was stable at €13,450m, with positive trends, particularly within Commercial & Personal Banking (BNL: +6.5% vs. 1H23, CPBL: +6.2% vs. 1H23).

NBI at IPS amounted to €2,892m (+1.9% vs. 1H23), driven by the good revenue performance at Insurance (+4.7% vs. 1H23), Wealth Management (+5.6% vs. 1H23) and Asset Management8 (+6.2% vs. 1H23).

Group operating expenses amounted to €15,113m, up by 1.1% compared to 1H23 (€14,942m). They included the exceptional impact of restructuring and adaptation costs (€79m) and IT reinforcement costs (€172m) for a total of €251m. At the operating division level, operating expenses rose by +1.4% at CIB and by +4.3% at CPBS (+6.1% in Commercial & Personal Banking and +0.2% in the specialised businesses). They were stable at IPS.

At the Group level, the jaws effect was positive (+0.5 point).

Group gross operating income thus came to €9,640m in the first half, up by 2.5% compared to 1H23 (€9,403m).

Group cost of risk stood at €1,392m (€1,201m in 1H23).

The Group's non-operating items (€633m in 1H24) include the reconsolidation of activities in Ukraine11 (+€226m) and a capital gain on the divestment of Personal Finance activities in Mexico (+€118m).

Group pre-tax income amounted to €8,785m, up from 1H23 (€8,653m).

On the basis of the 25.1% average corporate income tax rate, due mainly to the aforementioned tax methodological change in the US, the net income, Group share came to €6,498m (vs. €6,516m in 2023).

As of 30 June 2024, the return on non-revaluated tangible equity stood at 12.5%. This reflects the BNP Paribas Group's solid performances on the back of its diversified and integrated model.

A very solid financial structure as of 30 June 2024

The common equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 13.0% as of 30 June 2024, down by 10 basis points compared to 31 March 2024 but remaining far above SREP requirements and the 12% Group objective.

This change is due to the combined effects of organic capital generation net of changes in riskweighted assets in 2Q24 (+40 bps), of the distribution of the 2Q24 result (-30 bps on the basis of a 60% pay-out ratio), of the reinvestment of capital from the Bank of the West divestment (-10 bps), and of the updating of models initially scheduled for 2025 (-10 bps).

The leverage ratio12 stood at 4.4% as of 30 June 2024.

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio13 (end-of-period) stood at a high level of 132% as of 30 June 2024 (134% as of 31 March 2024) and the immediately available liquidity reserve14 came to €468bn as of 30 June 2024, equivalent to more than one year to manoeuvre in terms of wholesale funding.

2024 trajectory confirmed

On the strength of its first half 2024 performances, BNP Paribas confirms its 2024 trajectory: revenue growth greater than 2% compared to 2023 distribuable1 revenues (€46.9bn), a positive jaws effect15, a cost of risk below 40 bps, and Net Income, Group share greater than the 2023 distributable net income (€11.2bn).

With the second half of the year already under way, BNP Paribas benefits from key strengths in continuing its trajectory. These include its diversified and integrated model limiting its dependence

on any one business or geographical region, and more broadly its scaled up positioning, its ability to grow through the cycle, and the quality of its relationships and its customer portfolio. Furthermore, its model is suited to a scenario of gradual decline in interest rates, while feegenerating activities continue to develop.

CORPORATE AND INSTITUTIONAL BANKING (CIB)

CIB 2nd quarter 2024 results

CIB's results were driven this quarter by very good performances in all three business lines, in particular by Equity & Prime Services within Global Markets.

Net banking income, at €4,481m, was up by 12.1% compared to 2Q23, driven by the combined effect of good performances in all three business lines. In particular, Global Markets (+17.6% vs. 2Q23) was driven by the strong growth at Equity & Prime Services (+57.5% vs. 2Q23), by far offsetting the decrease at FICC (-7.0% vs. 2Q23). Global Banking (+5.4% vs. 2Q23) was also driven by Capital Markets (+12.5%6 vs. 2Q23) and Transaction Banking (+7.6%6 / 2Q23). Securities Services (+10.5% vs. 2Q23) was driven by fee volumes and the improvement in net interest margin.

Operating expenses, at €2,489m, were up by 9.4% compared to 2Q23 (+8.9% at constant scope and exchange rates), in connection with very a strong activity this quarter and a low 2Q23 base as well as investments made to develop the platforms further. The jaws effect was very positive (+2.7 points, +3.1 points at constant scope and exchange rates).

Gross operating income amounted to €1,992m, up by 15.6% compared to 2Q23.

Cost of risk saw €106m in releases, reflecting releases of provisions on performing loans (stages 1 and 2), and stood at -17 basis points of customer loans outstanding.

Based on these good operating performances, CIB achieved pre-tax income of €2,099m, up by 16.2% compared to a very high 2Q23.

CIB – Global Banking

Global Banking was driven in the 2nd quarter by very good business momentum, as reflected by strong revenue growth.

Global Banking revenues (€1,502m) were up by 5.4% compared to 2Q23, particularly in EMEA and the Americas. By business line, revenues rose on the Capital Markets platform (+12.5%6 vs. 2Q23), particularly in EMEA as well as in Transaction Banking in all regions (+7.6%6 / 2Q23). Activity was very busy in origination, notably on fixed-income markets (with global transaction volumes up by 13.0%16).

Loans, at €183bn, were up by 1.7%6 compared to 2Q23 and by 2.1%6 compared to 1Q24. Deposits, at €213bn, rose slightly (+1.2%6 vs. 2Q23).

Global Banking confirmed its leadership positions in the 2nd quarter 2024: EMEA leader17 in

syndicated loans and bond issuances, 4th worldwide17 in investment grade corporate bond issuances, tied for first18 in transaction banking revenues in EMEA in 1Q24 and the European and global leader19 in sustainable financing.

CIB – Global Markets

The 2nd quarter featured a very strong increase at Equity & Prime Services.

At €2,249m, Global Markets revenues were up very sharply, by 17.6% compared to 2Q23.

At €1,147m, Equity & Prime Services revenues rose very steeply (+57.5% vs. 2Q23) in all business lines, with an especially strong increase in Prime Services (AuM up by about 40% compared to 2Q23) and Equity Derivatives, driven by high client demand. Revenues rose in all three regions.

At €1,102m, FICC revenues were down by 7.0% compared to 2Q23. Credit activities fared very well, offset by revenues that on the whole were less robust than in 2Q23, in particular in commodities on the back of lower demand in Europe.

In terms of rankings, Global Markets confirmed its leadership on multi-dealer electronic platforms.

Average 99% 1-day interval VaR, a measure of market risks, came to €30m. It decreased by €6m compared to 1Q24 due to lower risk, mainly in the interest-rate perimeter.

CIB – Securities Services

The 2nd quarter featured solid business drive.

At €730m, Securities Services achieved a strong increase in NBI (+10.5% vs. 2Q23), driven by the impact of increases in net interest margins and in fees due to the increase in average outstandings. Two new mandates were signed (with Flossbach von Storch and Berenberg). Meanwhile, commercial development in Private Capital continues.

Outstandings rose (+8.1% at the end of period compared to 2Q23), driven mainly by the market rally and the implementation of new mandates. Transaction volumes rose by 6.0%, despite lower average volatility. Securities Services confirmed its leadership with the "World's Best Bank for Securities Services" award at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2024.

CIB 1st half 2024 results

In the first half, CIB's NBI amounted to €9,158m, up by 3.2% and its operating expenses came to €5,230m, up by 1.4% compared to 1H23.

CIB's gross operating income came to €3,927m, up by 5.8% compared to 1H23, and cost of risk came to a release of €201m.

On this basis, CIB's Pre-tax income amounted to €4,132m, up by 9.0% compared to 1H23 and thus confirmed an excellent first half at CIB.

COMMERCIAL, PERSONAL BANKING & SERVICES (CPBS)

2nd quarter 2024 results at CPBS

CPBS's performances this quarter featured strong momentum in activity, driven by the quality of franchises and partnerships.

Net banking income7 , at €6,758m, decreased by 0.3% vs. 2Q23. It was impacted this quarter by several headwinds, some of which will begin to fade in the 3rd quarter 2024: inflation hedges in France (-€45m, with the impact vanishing in 3Q24), the Belgian government bond issue (-€49m, with the impact fading away in 2H24) and the ECB's decision to stop remunerating mandatory reserves (-€45m). The second quarter also featured the normalisation of used-car prices at a high level at Arval and the increased costs of medium-term financing at Personal Finance.

Commercial & Personal Banking revenues came to €4,229m (+1.7% vs. 2Q23). Net interest revenues were up by 3.8% excluding the impact of the aforementioned headwinds20, driven by the increased margins on deposits. Fees rose by 7.4%, driven mainly by good performances in France, Italy and Europe-Mediterranean. Private Banking achieved very good inflows at €5.6bn euros (+ 9.0% vs. 2Q23), with €291bn euros in assets under management as of 30.06.2024. Hello bank! continued to develop with 3.6 million customers (+7.0% vs. 2Q23).

Specialised Businesses revenues amounted to €2,530m (-3.6% vs. 2Q23). This decline was due to Arval and Leasing Solutions (-5.5% vs. 2Q23) caused by used-car prices, despite the improvement in the financial margin and the margin on services at Arval, in connection with the increase in volumes and partnerships. Volumes rose and margins improved at Leasing Solutions. Personal Finance revenues decreased slightly (-0.9% vs. 2Q23 at constant scope and exchange rates). Personal Finance, which continued to implement its strategic refocusing, achieved resilient volumes, thanks to mobility partnerships and a boost from the launch of the partnership with Orange in Spain. Nickel continued on its growth trajectory (about 4 million accounts opened21 as of 30.06.2024).

Operating expenses7 rose by 5.6% (+4.3% vs. 2Q23, excluding the DGS contribution in Italy). They remained under control at Commercial & Personal Banking in the eurozone (+3.5% vs. 2Q23). Excluding the impact of the afore mentioned headwinds and the DGS contribution in Italy, the jaws effect was positive by more than 1.5 percentage points. Within Europe-Mediterranean, they included the impact of inflation, particularly in Türkiye and Poland, and the reconsolidation of Ukraine. Operating expenses fell at Specialised Businesses (-1.0% vs. 2Q23). Jaws effects were positive at Personal Finance, Leasing Solutions and New Digital Businesses.

Gross operating income7 amounted to €2,770m (-7.8% vs. 2Q23).

Cost of risk7 and others stood at €916m (€653m in 2Q23), due in particular to a specific credit situation in France (€123m) and other net losses for risk on financial instruments in Poland (€91m).

As a result, after allocating one-third of Private Banking's Net Income to Wealth Management (IPS division), CPBS achieved pre-tax income22 of €1,796m (- 24.0% vs. 2Q23). As a reminder, 2Q23 booked the positive impact of non-recurring items under "Other non-operating items" at Personal Finance and Europe-Mediterranean.

CPBS – Commercial & Personal Banking in France

CPBF's commercial activity was supported this quarter by the quality of its franchises, as illustrated in the very strong inflows at Private Banking, customer acquisition at Hello bank!, and the development of cross-selling.

Customer loans outstanding fell by 1.6% compared to 2Q23 and volumes stabilised compared to 1Q24, with production up in 2Q24 on mortgage loans and corporate investment loans. Deposits were down by 2.5% compared to 2Q23 but up by 1.1% compared to 1Q24, with a stabilisation in their breakdown in the first half. Off-balance sheet savings rose by 5.7% compared to 30.06.23 and net asset inflows in life insurance were solid (+€1.6bn as of 30 June 2024). Cross-selling with BNP Paribas Cardif is developing.

Private Banking achieved very good net asset inflows of €3.8bn.

Hello bank! continues to acquire new customers at a sustained pace (about 195K in 1H24, 2.5x compared to 1H23), driven by the pace of organic growth and by the good progress of the Orange bank operation.

Net banking income7 amounted to €1,663m, down by 3.1% compared to 2Q23. Excluding the impacts of inflation hedges (-€45m in the process of normalising) and the non-remuneration of mandatory reserves (-€20m), it was stable (+0.7% vs. 2Q23). Net interest revenues7 fell by 11.0% (-4.2% vs. 2Q23, excluding the impact of the headwinds). Fees7 rose (+6.1% vs. 2Q23), driven by card and Cash Management fees and AuM-based fees in Private Banking.

At €1,118m, operating expenses7 , (+0.4% vs. 2Q23) remained under control despite inflation, thanks to the ongoing effect of cost-saving measures.

Gross operating income7 came to €545m (-9.4% vs. 2Q23).

Cost of risk7 amounted to €239m (€151m in 2Q23) or 41 basis points of customer loans outstanding, in connection with a specific credit situation (20 bps excluding this case).

As a result, after allocating one third of Private Banking's Net Income to Wealth Management (IPS division), CPBF achieved pre-tax income22 of €262m (-35.5% vs. 2Q23).

CPBS – BNL Banca Commerciale (BNL bc)

BNL bc continued to demonstrate its good intrinsic performance, driven in this quarter by the increase in deposits and ongoing improvement in margins on deposits across all customer segments.

Customer loans outstanding decreased by 7.1% overall compared to 2Q23 and by 6.0% on the perimeter excluding non-performing loans. This was due in particular to the disciplined management of margins at production in a competitive environment. Deposits rose by 5.9% compared to 2Q23, with, on the one hand, an increase in Corporate and Private Banking customer deposits, and, on the other hand, an ongoing improvement in margins on deposits across all segments. Off-balance sheet savings fell by 3.9% compared to 30.06.2023.

Net banking income7 amounted to €722m (+5.0% vs. 2Q23). Net interest revenues rose by 3.7%, driven by the margin on deposits partly offset by the decrease in volumes and loan margins. Fees are also up sharply, by 7.0% compared to 2Q23, in connection with the strong increase in financial fees, mainly in life insurance, combined with improved Cash Management fees.

At €486m, operating expenses7 rose by 13.6% (+1.1% excluding IFRIC; DGS contribution of €51m paid in 2Q2423). The jaws effect was positive excluding IFRIC.

Gross operating income7 fell by 9.2%, to €235m.

At €95m, cost of risk7 rose by 18.4% from a low 2Q23 base, amounting to 53 basis points of customer loans outstanding.

As a result, after allocating one third of Private Banking's Net Income to Wealth Management (IPS division), BNL bc achieved pre-tax income22 of €133m, down sharply by 22.5%.

CPBS – Commercial & Personal Banking in Belgium (CPBB)

CPBB's activity was resilient, and it continued to transform its operating model, driven by the successful integration of Bpost bank.

Customer loans outstanding rose by 2.1% compared to 2Q23, driven by an increase in mortgage and corporate loans. Deposits fell 3.8% compared to 2Q23 (+0.5% excluding the impact of the Belgian government bonds issuance maturing in September 2024). Corporate customer deposits rose by +3.6% compared to 2Q23. Off-balance sheet savings24 increased by 5.5% compared to 30.06.2023, driven by mutual funds. Private Banking achieved net asset inflows of €1.2bn euros this quarter.

Net banking income7 decreased by 3.4% to €972m (+3.1% excluding the impact of the nonremuneration of mandatory reserves and the Belgian government bonds (combined impact of - €65m)). Net interest revenues7 decreased by 4.0% (+5.2%25 vs. 2Q23), in connection with the aforementioned impact of Belgian government bonds and the tightening in loan margins. The specialised subsidiaries performed well. Fees7 were down by 1.8%, due to regulatory and commercial impacts on payment fees and to a high level of savings activity by individual customers in 2023, partly offset by the increase of financial fees in Private Banking.

At €577m, operating expenses7 rose by 1.6%, driven by inflation, partly offset by cost-saving measures and the transformation of the operating model, with the successful integration of Bpost bank.

Gross operating income7 amounted to €395m, down by 9.8%.

With €11m in releases (€19m in 2Q23), cost of risk7 is still very low and amounted to -3 basis points of customer loans outstanding, in connection with releases of provisions on performing loans (stages 1 and 2) and lower stage 3 provisioning.

As a result, after allocating one third of Private Banking's Net Income to Wealth Management (IPS division), CPBB achieved pre-tax income22 of €387m.

CPBS – Commercial & Personal Banking in Luxembourg (CPBL)

CPBL continued to achieve very good performances, driven by net interest revenues.

Net banking income7 increased by 5.5% to €153m. Net interest revenues7 rose by 6.2%, in connection with good resiliency of margins on deposits, particularly in corporate deposits, and capital gains on divestment of securities. CPBL achieved good growth in fees, particularly in Private Banking. They rose by 1.9%7 compared to 2Q23.

At €73m, operating expenses7 rose by 6.0%, in connection with inflation and a base effect related to banking taxes. The jaws effect was positive excluding IFRIC (+1.1 point).

Gross operating income7 rose sharply to €79m (+5.2%).

With €4m in releases, cost of risk7 is still very low.

After allocating one third of Private Banking's Net Income to Wealth Management (IPS division), CPBL achieved a pre-tax income22 of €81m, up very sharply by 11.5%.

CPBS – Europe-Mediterranean

Despite strong business momentum in Poland and Türkiye, Europe-Mediterranean's pretax income fell sharply, due to provisioning in Poland. In contrast, the impact of the hyperinflation situation in Türkiye remains moderate, in relative terms, compared to 2Q23.

Customer loans outstanding rose by 6.3%6 compared to 2Q23, in connection with increased volumes. Origination is prudent with individual customers in Poland, and production momentum is recovering in Türkiye across all customer segments. Deposits rose by 9.9%6 compared to 2Q23, driven by good momentum in Türkiye and in Poland.

Net banking income7 , at €718m, rose by 3.2%26, due in particular to the strong increase of net interest revenues in Poland and increased fees in Türkiye.

Operating expenses7 , at €493m, rose by 31.6%26 due to high inflation.

Gross operating income7 fell by 33.2%26 to €226m.

Cost of risk7 stood at 18 basis points of customer loans outstanding, up from a low 2Q23 base (releases of stage 1 and 2 provisions).

Other net losses for risk on financial instruments26 include the impact of the "Act on Assistance to Borrowers" in Poland (-€47m) and other provisions in Poland (-€44m).

After allocating one third of Private Banking's Net Income to Wealth Management (IPS division), Europe-Mediterranean achieved pre-tax income22 of €134m, down sharply, by 60.6%26 (-58.2% compared to 2Q23 excluding the effect of the hyperinflation situation in Türkiye).

CPBS – Specialised Businesses – Personal Finance

In the 2nd quarter 2024, Personal Finance benefited from the initial impacts of the transformation of the operating model, causing a positive jaws effect.

Customer loans outstanding rose by 3.3%6 compared to 2Q23 driven particularly by an increase in mobility, with greater selectivity at origination. Margins at production continued to improve despite ongoing competitive pressure.

The effects of the implementation of partnerships with Orange in Spain and France and the good increase achieved by partnerships in auto loans favourably impact the volumes increase and the structural improvement in the risk profile.

The geographical refocusing of activities and the reorganisation of the operating model continued.

Net banking income, at €1,266m, decreased by -0.9%6 (-4.6% at historical scope and exchange rates), mainly due to higher medium-term financing costs, partly offset by pricing initiatives and volume growth.

Operating expenses, at €684m, fell by 4.8%6 (-6.7% at historical scope and exchange rates), in connection with the effect of cost-saving measures. The jaws effect was therefore positive on the quarter (+3.9 points6 ).

Gross operating income decreased by 2.0% to €581m.

Cost of risk stood at €409m (€363m in 2Q23), increasing slightly despite the structural improvement in the risk profile. As of 30.06.2024, it stood at 152 basis points of customer loans outstanding.

Pre-tax income thus came to €184m, down sharply by 30.9%6 (-36.4% at historical scope and exchange rates). Reminder: Personal Finance booked the positive impact of a non-recurring item in "Other non-operating items" in 2Q23.

CPBS – Specialised Businesses – Arval and Leasing Solutions

The 2Q24 featured the normalisation of used-car prices and the improvement in the financial margin and margin on services at Arval.

Arval's financed fleet rose sharply (+6.4%27 vs. 30.06.2023), as did its outstandings (+22.8% vs. 2Q23). The offering for individuals (+16.3%27 vs. 30.06.2023) is being developed through partnerships with automakers. Internationally, momentum is good with large international clients, mainly due to the global coverage provided by the Element-Arval-Sumitomo Mitsui alliance. The gradual normalisation of used-car prices at a high level continues, offset partly by the favourable volume effect on vehicle sales (110,000 vehicles sold in 2Q24).

Outstandings at Leasing Solutions rose by 2.6% compared to 2Q23, and margins improved. Business drive was also good with production volumes up by 16.0% compared to 2Q23. A partnership was signed with HP Inc. for equipment financing and an offering of lifecycle management solutions.

Combined net banking income of Arval and Leasing Solutions, at €989m, fell by 5.5%. Overall, the normalisation of used-car prices was partly offset by the higher financial margin and margin on services at Arval. Leasing Solutions revenues are increasing due to a volume impact and improved margins.

Operating expenses rose by 5.9% to €379m, in connection with inflation and business drive.

Pre-tax income at Arval and Leasing Solutions fell by 18.1% to €539m.

CPBS – Specialised Businesses – New Digital Businesses and Personal Investors

Activity was very robust this quarter.

The number of Nickel points of sale rose (+16.1% vs. 30.06.2023) and Nickel continued to expand in Europe. Nickel developed its offering of services and products (e.g. 100% digital accountopening path in France), expanded its payment offerings (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay) and continued its diversification offers in partnership with the rest of the Group (e.g., the "coup de pouce" loans with Floa28).

Regarding Floa, numerous partnerships have been signed in France, and activity is developing internationally (number of active partnerships: 2.3x compared to 2Q23).

Personal Investors achieved a strong increase in assets under management (+14.7% vs. 30.06.2023), driven by the favourable impact of financial market trends and the number of transactions remaining at a high level.

On this basis, net banking income7 , at €275m, rose by 9.5%, reflecting the efficient organic growth at Nickel and the good resiliency in revenues at Personal Investors to the interest-rate environment.

Operating expenses7 , at €176m, rose by 10.1%, due to the business development strategy.

Gross operating income7 amounted to €99m (+8.3% vs. 2Q23) and cost of risk7 amounted to €22m (€30m in 2Q23).

Pre-tax income22 at New Digital Businesses and Personal Investors after allocating one third of the Private Banking result in Germany to Wealth Management (IPS division), rose very sharply by 30.0%, to €76m.

INVESTMENT & PROTECTION SERVICES (IPS)

IPS 2nd quarter 2024 results

IPS's assets under management and revenues achieved solid growth this quarter, driven by market performance effects and net asset inflows.

As of 30 June 2024, assets under management29 amounted to €1,312bn (+6.1% compared to 31 December 2023, +2.2% compared to 31.03.2024). They reflected the combined effects of net asset inflows (+€42.1bn euros), market performance (+€28.2bn euros), and a moderate exchange rate impact (+€2.4bn). Net asset inflows were robust in all business lines, driven by the diversity of the distribution networks.

Wealth Management, in particular, achieved very good momentum in inflows in Commercial & Personal Banking and internationally with high-net-worth individuals. Asset Management also achieved strong inflows, driven mainly by money-market funds. Insurance achieved strong inflows in Savings, particularly in France. As of 30 June 2024, assets under management29 broke down as follows: €601bn at Asset Management and Real Estate30, €446bn at Wealth Management and €265bn at Insurance.

Revenues, at €1,472m, rose by 3.0% (+6.5% excluding the contribution of Real Estate and Principal Investments). They were driven by the very good momentum in Insurance, Asset Management and Wealth Management. Revenues were down at Principal Investments, due to a high base, and revenues decreased at Real Estate, due to a very lacklustre market.

At €879m, operating expenses rose by 0.1% (+2.6% excluding the contribution of Real Estate and Principal Investments), kept under control with efficiency and savings measures offsetting targeted investments. The jaws effect was positive (+2.9 points) and very positive excluding the cyclical impact from Real Estate and Principal Investments (+3.9 points).

Gross operating income rose by +7.5% to €593m.

At €638m, pre-tax income was up by 5.0% (+10.6% excluding the contribution of Real Estate and Principal Investments). It included a lower contribution from associates.

IPS – Insurance

The 2nd quarter featured strong business drive and an increase in revenues.

Savings achieved a very good performance in France and internationally with gross inflows up sharply (+11.6% compared to 2Q23). Net asset inflows rose sharply, driven by a strong business drive, particularly in France in internal networks and via external distribution.

Protection's gross written premiums rose by 8.1% compared to 2Q23. It continued its strong increase internationally, driven by the strength of partnerships and the multi-channel model. Protection continued to develop its offering with the launch of a new individual protection range in France, as well as an extension of home insurance with Lemonade and affinity insurance with Orange.

Revenues rose by 5.2%, to €586m, driven by the strong performance in France and the deployment of the model.

Operating expenses, at €204m, were stable, with targeted investments offset by efficiency measures. The jaws effect was strongly positive (+5.0 points).

At €428m, pre-tax income at Insurance was up by 6.9%.

IPS – Wealth & Asset Management31

The 2nd quarter featured strong growth in assets and revenues at Wealth Management and Asset Management8 .

Asset Management8 also achieved very strong inflows (€10.9bn in 2Q24), driven by moneymarket funds. Assets under management classified Article 8 or 932 rose sharply (+€17bn in the first half 2024).

Wealth Management revenues, at €419m, rose by +6.1%, driven by increased fees and resilience in net interest revenues. Revenues at Asset Management8 were also up sharply, by +9.8%, driven by the increase in assets under management. Revenues were down with a high base effect at Principal Investments and a market that has slowed considerably at Real Estate.

Operating expenses were stable, at €675m.

The jaws effect was positive (+4.1 points) excluding the cyclical impact from Real Estate and Principal Investments.

Pre-tax income at Wealth & Asset Management thus came to €210m, up by 1.4%.

Methodology: Comparative analysis at constant scope and exchange rates

The method used to determine the effect of changes in scope of consolidation depends on the type of transaction (acquisition, sale, etc.). The underlying purpose of the calculation is to facilitate period-on-period comparisons.

In cases of acquired or created entity, the results of the new entity are eliminated from the constant scope results of currentyear periods corresponding to the periods when the entity was not owned in the prior-year.

In cases of divested entities, the entity's results are excluded symmetrically for the prior year for quarters when the entity was not owned.

In cases of change of consolidation method, the policy is to use the lowest consolidation percentage over the two years (current and prior) for results of quarters adjusted on a like-for-like basis.

Comparative analysis at constant exchange rates is prepared by restating results for the prior-year quarter (reference quarter) at the current quarter exchange rate (analysed quarter). All of these calculations are performed by reference to the entity's reporting currency.

NBI1: -0.3% vs. 2Q23
 Commercial & Personal Banking: +1.7% vs. 2Q23, driven by the increase in net interest revenues (+3.8% vs. 2Q23 excluding the negative impacts of the non
remuneration of ECB mandatory reserves, inflation hedges, and the Belgian government bonds); good performance in fees (+7.4% vs. 2Q23)
 Specialised Businesses: -3.6% vs. 2Q23, -5.5% decrease in revenues at Arval and Leasing Solutions vs. 2Q23, related to the change in used-car prices at Arval;
decrease in Personal Finance revenues (-0.9% vs. 2Q23 at constant scope and exchange rates), as higher volumes and production margins only partly offset higher
medium-term refinancing costs
 New Digital Businesses & Personal Investors: +9.5% vs. 2Q23 with the development of the customer base at New Digital Businesses
Operating expenses1: +5.6% vs. 2Q23 (+4.3% vs. 2Q23 excluding DGS contribution in Italy)
 Commercial & Personal Banking in the eurozone: excluding impacts of headwinds on revenues (~€140m) and the impact of the DGS contribution in Italy (€51m) on
operating expenses, the jaws effect is positive by more than +1.5 pts

 Europe-Mediterranean: impact of inflation particularly in Türkiye and Poland and the reconsolidation of Ukraine – see details on slides 24, 25 and 26
 Specialised Businesses: decrease in operating expenses (-1.0% vs. 2Q23). Positive jaws effects at Personal Finance, Leasing Solutions and New Digital Businesses
Cost of risk1and others: increase due mainly to a specific credit situation in France (€123m) and other net losses for risk in Poland (€91m)

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union

The Board of directors of BNP Paribas examined the Group condensed consolidated interim financial statements on 23 July 2024. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the BNP Paribas Group are presented for the first halves 2024 and 2023. In accordance with Annex I of European Delegated Regulation (EU) n° 2019/980 as amended by Delegated Regulation (EU) n° 2020/1273, the first half 2022 is provided in the amendment, registered on 27 July 2023 under number D.23-0143-A02, to the Universal registration document filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers on 24 March 2023 under number D.23-0143.

On 18 December 2021, the Group concluded an agreement with BMO Financial Group for the sale of 100% of its retail and commercial banking activities in the United States operated by the BancWest cash-generating unit. The terms of this transaction fall within the scope of application of IFRS 5 relating to groups of assets and liabilities held for sale (see note 7.e Discontinued activities) leading to isolate the "Net income from discontinued activities" on a separate line. A similar reclassification is made in the statement of net income and changes in assets and liabilities recognised directly in equity and in the cash flow statement.

Following the receipt of regulatory approvals, the transaction was finalised on 1 February 2023.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union

1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED BY THE GROUP

1.a APPLICABLE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The consolidated financial statements of the BNP Paribas Group have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards (International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS), as adopted for use in the European Union1. Accordingly, certain provisions of IAS 39 on hedge accounting have been excluded.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Some information on the nature and extent of risks relating to financial instruments as required by IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" are presented in the update A02 of the Universal Registration Document. This information provides credit risk exposures and related impairment broken down according to whether the underlying loans are performing or non performing, by geographic area and by industry. This information is an integral part of the notes to the BNP Paribas Group's consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2024.

• Further to the Pillar II recommendations of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in relation to the international tax reform, the European Union adopted on 14 December 2022 the 2022/2523 directive instituting a minimum corporate income tax for international groups, effective 1 January 2024. This directive was transposed in France in December 2023 by 2024 Finance Act.

To clarify the directive's potential impacts, the IASB issued on 23 May 2023 a series of amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes", which were adopted by the European Union on 8 November 2023. In accordance with the provisions of these amendments, the Group applies the mandatory and temporary exception not to recognise deferred taxes associated with this additional taxation.

Based on the available information, the impact of the Pillar II reform is non-material for the Group. Income before tax and corporate income tax by country are presented in chapter 8 of the 2023 Universal registration document (part 8.6, section II. Profit and Loss account items and headcount by country).

• In France, changes resulting from the pension reform enacted on 14 April 2023 constitute a change in post-employment benefits, based on IAS 19 § 104. The non-material impact of this change was recorded in the profit and loss account for the period.

The introduction of other standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory as from 1 January 2024, in particular the amendment to IFRS 16 on Lease liabilities in a sale and lease back, had no effect on the Group's financial statements at 30 June 2024.

The Group did not early adopt any of the new standards, amendments, and interpretations adopted by the European Union, when the application in 2024 was optional.

1 The full set of standards adopted for use in the European Union can be found on the website of the European Commission at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/company-reporting-and-auditing/company-reporting\_en

1.b CONSOLIDATION

1.b.1 SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of BNP Paribas include entities that are controlled by the Group, jointly controlled, and under significant influence, with the exception of those entities whose consolidation is regarded as immaterial to the Group. Companies that hold shares in consolidated companies are also consolidated.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains effective control. Entities under temporary control are included in the consolidated financial statements until the date of disposal.

1.b.2 CONSOLIDATION METHODS

Exclusive control

Controlled enterprises are fully consolidated. The Group controls a subsidiary when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

For entities governed by voting rights, the Group generally controls the entity if it holds, directly or indirectly, the majority of the voting rights (and if there are no contractual provisions that alter the power of these voting rights) or if the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity is conferred on it by contractual agreements.

Structured entities are entities established so that they are not governed by voting rights, for instance when those voting rights relate to administrative tasks only, whereas the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. They often have the following features or attributes: restricted activities, a narrow and well-defined objective and insufficient equity to permit them to finance their activities without subordinated financial support.

For these entities, the analysis of control shall consider the purpose and design of the entity, the risks to which the entity is designed to be exposed and to what extent the Group absorbs the related variability. The assessment of control shall consider all facts and circumstances able to determine the Group's practical ability to make decisions that could significantly affect its returns, even if such decisions are contingent on uncertain future events or circumstances.

In assessing whether it has power, the Group considers only substantive rights which it holds or which are held by third parties. For a right to be substantive, the holder must have the practical ability to exercise that right when decisions about the relevant activities of the entity need to be made.

Control is reassessed if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.

Where the Group contractually holds the decision-making power, for instance where the Group acts as fund manager, it shall determine whether it is acting as agent or principal. Indeed, when associated with a certain level of exposure to the variability of returns, this decision-making power may indicate that the Group is acting on its own account and that it thus has control over those entities.

Minority interests are presented separately in the consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet within consolidated equity. The calculation of minority interests takes into account the outstanding cumulative preferred shares classified as equity instruments issued by subsidiaries, when such shares are held outside the Group.

As regards fully consolidated funds, units held by third-party investors are recognised as debts at fair value through profit or loss, inasmuch as they are redeemable at fair value at the subscriber's initiative.

For transactions resulting in a loss of control, any equity interest retained by the Group is remeasured at its fair value through profit or loss.

Where the Group carries out an activity with one or more partners, sharing control by virtue of a contractual agreement which requires unanimous consent on relevant activities (those that significantly affect the entity's returns), the Group exercises joint control over the activity. Where the jointly controlled activity is structured through a separate vehicle in which the partners have rights to the net assets, this joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Where the jointly controlled activity is not structured through a separate vehicle or where the partners have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the jointly controlled activity, the Group accounts for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with the applicable IFRS.

Significant influence

Companies over which the Group exercises significant influence or associates are accounted for by the equity method. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of a company without exercising control. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting rights of a company. Interests of less than 20% can be included in the consolidation scope if the Group effectively exercises significant influence. This is the case for example for entities developed in partnership with other associates, where the BNP Paribas Group participates in strategic decisions of the enterprise through representation on the Board of directors or equivalent governing body, or exercises influence over the enterprise's operational management by supplying management systems or senior managers, or provides technical assistance to support the enterprise's development.

Changes in the net assets of associates (companies accounted for under the equity method) are recognised on the assets side of the balance sheet under "Investments in equity-method entities" and in the relevant component of shareholders' equity. Goodwill recorded on associates is also included under "Equity-method investments".

Whenever there is an indication of impairment, the carrying amount of the investment consolidated under the equity method (including goodwill) is subjected to an impairment test, by comparing its recoverable value (the higher of value-in-use and market value less costs to sell) to its carrying amount. Where appropriate, impairment is recognised under "Share of earnings of equity-method entities" in the consolidated income statement and can be reversed at a later date.

If the Group's share of losses of an equity-method entity equals or exceeds the carrying amount of its investment in this entity, the Group discontinues including its share of further losses. The investment is reported at nil value. Additional losses of the equity-method entity are provided for only to the extent that the Group has contracted a legal or constructive obligation or has made payments on behalf of this entity.

Where the Group holds an interest in an associate, directly or indirectly through an entity that is a venture capital organisation, a mutual fund, an open-ended investment company or similar entity such as an investment-related insurance fund, it may elect to measure that interest at fair value through profit or loss.

Realised gains and losses on investments in consolidated undertakings are recognised in the profit and loss account under "Net gain on non-current assets".

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events occurring in similar circumstances.

1.b.3 CONSOLIDATION RULES

Elimination of intragroup balances and transactions

Intragroup balances arising from transactions between consolidated enterprises, and the transactions themselves (including income, expenses and dividends), are eliminated. Profits and losses arising from intragroup sales of assets are eliminated, except where there is an indication that the asset sold is impaired. Unrealised gains and losses included in the value of financial instruments at fair value through equity are maintained in the consolidated financial statements.

By way of exception, amendments to IAS 32 and IFRS 9 allow intra-group assets to be retained in the balance sheet if they are held as underlying components of direct participating contracts. These assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. These are:

  • own shares by amendment to IAS 32 ;
  • financial liabilities issued by the entity in amendment to IFRS 9.

These provisions are applied by the Group's insurance entities that issue direct participating contracts, the underlying elements of which include securities issued by the Group either directly or through consolidated investment entities.

Translation of accounts expressed in foreign currencies

The consolidated financial statements of BNP Paribas are prepared in euros.

The financial statements of enterprises whose functional currency is not the euro are translated using the closing rate method. Under this method, all assets and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average rate for the period.

Financial statements of the Group's subsidiaries located in hyperinflationary economies, previously adjusted for inflation by applying a general price index, are translated using the closing rate. This rate applies to the translation of assets and liabilities as well as income and expenses.

Differences arising from the translation of balance sheet items and profit and loss items are recorded in shareholders' equity under "Exchange differences", and in "Minority interests" for the portion attributable to outside investors. Under the optional treatment permitted by IFRS 1, the Group has reset to zero all translation differences, by booking all cumulative translation differences attributable to shareholders and to minority interests in the opening balance sheet at 1 January 2004 to retained earnings.

On liquidation or disposal of some or all of an interest held in a foreign enterprise located outside the eurozone, leading to a change in the nature of the investment (loss of control, loss of significant influence or loss of joint control without keeping a significant influence), the cumulative exchange difference at the date of liquidation or sale is recognised in the profit and loss account.

Should the percentage of interest change without leading to a modification in the nature of the investment, the exchange difference is reallocated between the portion attributable to shareholders and that attributable to minority interests if the entity is fully consolidated; if the entity is consolidated under the equity method, it is recorded in profit or loss for the portion related to the interest sold.

1.b.4 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND MEASUREMENT OF GOODWILL

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method.

Under this method, the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value at the acquisition date except for non-current assets classified as assets held for sale which are accounted for at fair value less costs to sell.

The acquiree's contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated balance sheet unless they represent a present obligation on the acquisition date and their fair value can be measured reliably.

The cost of a business combination is the fair value, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued to obtain control of the acquiree. Costs directly attributable to the business combination are treated as a separate transaction and recognised through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration is included in the cost, as soon as control is obtained, at fair value on the date when control was acquired. Subsequent changes in the value of any contingent consideration recognised as a financial liability are recognised through profit or loss.

The Group may recognise any adjustments to the provisional accounting within 12 months of the acquisition date.

Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the combination and the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the acquisition date. Positive goodwill is recognised in the acquirer's balance sheet, while negative goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss, on the acquisition date. Minority interests are measured at their share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities. However, for each business combination, the Group can elect to measure minority interests at fair value, in which case a proportion of goodwill is allocated to them. To date, the Group has never used this latter option.

Goodwill is recognised in the functional currency of the acquiree and translated at the closing exchange rate.

On the acquisition date, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its fair value through profit or loss. In the case of a step acquisition, the goodwill is therefore determined by reference to the acquisitiondate fair value.

Since the revised IFRS 3 has been applied prospectively, business combinations completed prior to 1 January 2010 were not restated for the effects of changes to IFRS 3.

As permitted under IFRS 1, business combinations that took place before 1 January 2004 and were recorded in accordance with the previously applicable accounting standards (French GAAP), had not been restated in accordance with the principles of IFRS 3.

Specificities relating to insurance contracts acquired through business combinations are set out in note 1.g.2 in the paragraph Recognition and derecognition.

Measurement of goodwill

The BNP Paribas Group tests goodwill for impairment on a regular basis.

- Cash-generating units

The BNP Paribas Group has split all its activities into cash-generating units2 representing major business lines. This split is consistent with the Group's organisational structure and management methods, and reflects the independence of each unit in terms of results and management approach. It is reviewed on a regular basis in order to take account of events likely to affect the composition of cash-generating units, such as acquisitions, disposals and major reorganisations.

  • Testing cash-generating units for impairment

Goodwill allocated to cash-generating units is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that a unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of the unit with its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an irreversible impairment loss is recognised, and the goodwill is written down by the excess of the carrying amount of the unit over its recoverable amount.

  • Recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit

The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is the higher of the fair value of the unit less costs to sell, and its value in use.

2 As defined by IAS 36.

Fair value is the price that would be obtained from selling the unit at the market conditions prevailing at the date of measurement, as determined mainly by reference to actual prices of recent transactions involving similar entities or on the basis of stock market multiples for comparable companies.

Value in use is based on an estimate of the future cash flows to be generated by the cash-generating unit, derived from the annual forecasts prepared by the unit's management and approved by Group Executive Management, and from analyses of changes in the relative positioning of the unit's activities on their market. These cash flows are discounted at a rate that reflects the return that investors would require from an investment in the business sector and region involved.

1.c TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The methods used to account for assets and liabilities relating to foreign currency transactions entered into by the Group, and to measure the foreign exchange risk arising on such transactions, depend on whether the asset or liability in question is classified as a monetary or a non-monetary item.

Monetary assets and liabilities3 expressed in foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the relevant Group entity at the closing rate. Foreign exchange differences are recognised in the profit and loss account, except for those arising from financial instruments designated as a cash flow hedge or a net foreign investment hedge, which are recognised in shareholders' equity.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies

Non-monetary assets may be measured either at historical cost or at fair value. Non-monetary assets expressed in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction (i.e. date of initial recognition of the non-monetary asset) if they are measured at historical cost, and at the closing rate if they are measured at fair value.

Foreign exchange differences relating to non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies and recognised at fair value (equity instruments) are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is classified in "Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" and in equity when the asset is classified under "Financial assets at fair value through equity".

1.d FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN HYPERINFLATIONARY ECONOMIES

The Group applies IAS 29 to the presentation of the accounts of its consolidated subsidiaries located in countries whose economies are in hyperinflation.

IAS 29 presents a number of quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess whether an economy is hyperinflationary, including a cumulative, three-year inflation rate approaching or exceeding 100%.

All non-monetary assets and liabilities of subsidiaries in hyperinflationary countries, including equity and each line of the income statement has been restated on the basis of changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This restatement between 1 January and the closing date resulted in the recognition of a gain or loss in its net monetary situation, recognised under "Net gain on non-current assets". Financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into euros at the closing rate.

3 Monetary assets and liabilities are assets and liabilities to be received or paid in fixed or determinable amounts of cash.

In accordance with the provisions of the IFRIC's decision of March 2020 on classifying the effects of indexation and translation of accounts of subsidiaries in hyperinflationary economies, the Group has opted to present these effects (including the net book value effect at the date of the initial application of IAS 29) within changes in assets and liabilities recognised directly through equity related to exchange differences.

Since 1 January 2022, the Group has applied IAS 29 to the presentation of the accounts of its consolidated subsidiaries located in Türkiye.

1.e NET INTEREST INCOME, COMMISSIONS AND INCOME FROM OTHER ACTIVITIES

1.e.1 NET INTEREST INCOME

Income and expenses relating to debt instruments measured at amortised cost and at fair value through shareholders' equity are recognised in the income statement using the effective interest rate method.

The effective interest rate is the rate that ensures that the discounted estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period, is equal to the carrying amount of the asset or liability in the balance sheet. The effective interest rate measurement takes into account all fees received or paid that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of the contract, transaction costs, and premiums and discounts.

Commissions considered as an additional component of interest are included in the effective interest rate and are recognised in the profit and loss account in "Net interest income". This category includes notably commissions on financing commitments when it is considered that the setting up of a loan is more likely than unlikely. Commissions received in respect of financing commitments are deferred until they are drawn and then included in the effective interest rate calculation and amortised over the life of the loan. Syndication commissions are also included in this category for the portion of the commission equivalent to the remuneration of other syndication participants.

1.e.2 COMMISSIONS AND INCOME FROM OTHER ACTIVITIES

Commissions received with regards to banking and similar services provided (except for those that are integral part of the effective interest rate), revenues from property development and revenues from services provided in connection with lease contracts fall within the scope of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".

This standard defines a single model for recognising revenue based on principles set out in five steps. These five steps enable to identify the distinct performance obligations included in the contracts and allocate the transaction price among them. The income related to those performance obligations is recognised as revenue when the latter are satisfied, namely when the control of the promised goods or services has been transferred.

The price of a service may contain a variable component. Variable amounts may be recognised in the income statement only if it is highly probable that the amounts recorded will not result in a significant downward adjustment.

Commission

The Group records commission income and expense in profit or loss either:

  • over time as the service is rendered when the client receives continuous service. These include, for example, certain commissions on transactions with customers when services are rendered on a continuous basis, commissions on financing commitments that are not included in the interest margin, because the probability that they give rise to the drawing up of a loan is low, commissions on financial collateral, clearing commissions on financial instruments, commissions related to trust and similar activities, securities custody fees, etc.

Commissions received under financial guarantee commitments are deemed to represent the initial fair value of the commitment. The resulting liability is subsequently amortised over the term of the commitment, in commission income; or

  • at a point in time when the service is rendered, in other cases. These include, for example, distribution fees received, loan syndication fees remunerating the arrangement service, advisory fees, etc.

Income from other activities

Income from property development as well as income from services provided in connection with lease contracts is recorded under "Income from other activities" in the income statement.

As regards property development income, the Group records it in profit or loss:

  • over time, when the performance obligation creates or enhances an asset over which the customer obtains control as it is created or enhanced (e.g. work in progress controlled by the client on the land on which the asset is located, etc.), or where the service performed does not create an asset that the entity could otherwise use and gives it an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. This is the case for contracts such as VEFA (sale in the future state of completion) in France.
  • at completion in other cases.

Regarding income from services provided in connection with lease contracts, the Group records them in profit or loss as the service is rendered, i.e. in proportion to the costs incurred for maintenance contracts.

1.f FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Financial assets are classified at amortised cost, at fair value through shareholders' equity or at fair value through profit or loss depending on the business model and the contractual features of the instruments at initial recognition.

Financial liabilities are classified at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases and sales of financial assets made within a period established by the regulations or by a convention in the relevant marketplace are recognised in the balance sheet at the settlement date.

1.f.1 FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST

Financial assets are classified at amortised cost if the following two criteria are met: the business model objective is to hold the instrument in order to collect the contractual cash flows and the cash flows consist solely of payments relating to principal and interest on the principal.

Business model criterion

Financial assets are managed within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect cash flows through the collection of contractual payments over the life of the instrument.

The realisation of disposals close to the maturity of the instrument and for an amount close to the remaining contractual cash flows, or due to an increase in the counterparty's credit risk is consistent with a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows ("collect"). Sales imposed by regulatory requirements or to manage the concentration of credit risk (without an increase in the asset's credit risk) are also consistent with this business model when they are infrequent or insignificant in value.

Cash flow criterion

The cash flow criterion is satisfied if the contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely repayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The criterion is not met in the event of a contractual characteristic that exposes the holder to risks or to the volatility of contractual cash flows that are inconsistent with those of a non-structured or "basic lending" arrangement. It is also not satisfied in the event of leverage that increases the variability of the contractual cash flows.

Interest consists of consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk, and for the remuneration of other risks (e.g. liquidity risk), costs (e.g. administration fees), and a profit margin consistent with that of a basic lending arrangement. The existence of negative interest does not call into question the cash flow criterion.

The time value of money is the component of interest - usually referred to as the "rate" component - which provides consideration for only the passage of time. The relationship between the interest rate and the passage of time must not be modified by specific characteristics that could call into question the respect of the cash flow criterion.

Thus, when the variable interest rate of the financial asset is periodically reset at a frequency that does not match the duration for which the interest rate is established, the time value of money may be considered as modified and, depending on the significance of that modification, the cash flow criterion may not be met. Some financial assets held by the Group present a mismatch between the interest rate reset frequency and the maturity of the index, or interest rates indexed to an average of benchmark rate. The Group has developed a consistent methodology for analysing this alteration of the time value of money.

Regulated rates meet the cash flow criterion when they provide consideration that is broadly consistent with the passage of time and do not expose to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows that would be inconsistent with those of a basic lending arrangement (example: loans granted in the context of Livret A savings accounts).

Some contractual clauses may change the timing or the amount of cash flows. Early redemption options do not call into question the cash flow criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents the principal amount outstanding and the interest thereon, which may include reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract. For example, as regards loans to retail customers, the compensation limited to 6 months of interest or 3% of the capital outstanding is considered reasonable. Actuarial penalties, corresponding to the present value of the difference between the residual contractual cash flows of the loan, and their reinvestment in a loan to a similar counterparty or in the interbank market for a similar residual maturity are also considered as reasonable, even when the compensation can be positive or negative (i.e. "symmetric" compensation). An option that permits the issuer or the holder of a financial instrument to change the interest rate from floating to fixed rate does not breach the cash flow criterion if the fixed rate is determined at origination, or if it represents the time value of money for the residual maturity of the instrument at the date of exercise of the option. Clauses included in financing granted to encourage the sustainable development of companies which adjust the interest margin depending on the achievement of environmental, social or governance (ESG) objectives and disclosed in Chapter 7 of the Universal registration document, do not call into question the cash flow criterion when such an adjustment is considered to be minimal. Structured instruments indexed to ESG market indices do not meet the cash flow criterion.

In the particular case of financial assets contractually linked to payments received on a portfolio of underlying assets and which include a priority order for payment of cash flows between investors ("tranches"), thereby creating concentrations of credit risk, a specific analysis is carried out. The contractual characteristics of the tranche and those of the underlying financial instrument portfolios must meet the cash flow criterion and the credit risk exposure of the tranche must be equal to or lower than the exposure to credit risk of the underlying pool of financial instruments.

Certain loans may be "non-recourse", either contractually, or in substance when they are granted to a special purpose entity. That is in particular the case of numerous project financing or asset financing loans. The cash flow criterion is met as long as these loans do not represent a direct exposure on the assets acting as collateral. In practice, the sole fact that the financial asset explicitly gives rise to cash flows that are consistent with payments of principal and interest is not sufficient to conclude that the instrument meets the cash flow criterion. In that case, the particular underlying assets to which there is limited recourse shall be analysed using the "look-through" approach. If those assets do not themselves meet the cash flow criterion, the existing credit enhancement is assessed. The following aspects are considered: structuring and sizing of the transaction, own funds level of the structure, expected source of repayment, price volatility of the underlying assets. This analysis is applied to "non-recourse" loans granted by the Group.

The "financial assets at amortised cost" category includes, in particular, loans granted by the Group, as well as reverse repurchase agreements and securities held by the Group ALM Treasury in order to collect contractual flows and meeting the cash flow criterion.

Recognition

On initial recognition, financial assets are recognised at fair value, including transaction costs directly attributable to the transaction as well as commissions related to the origination of the loans.

They are subsequently measured at amortised cost, including accrued interest and net of repayments of principal and interest during the past period. These financial assets are also subject from their initial recognition, to the measurement of a loss allowance for expected credit losses (note 1.f.5).

Interest is calculated using the effective interest method determined at inception of the contract.

1.f.2 FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Debt instruments

Debt instruments are classified at fair value through shareholders' equity if the following two criteria are met:

  • business model criterion: financial assets are held in a business model whose objective is achieved by both holding the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets ("collect and sale"). The latter is not incidental but is an integral part of the business model.
  • cash flow criterion: the principles are identical to those applicable to financial assets at amortised cost.

The securities held by the Group ALM Treasury in order to collect contractual flows or to be sold and meeting the cash flow criterion are in particular classified in this category.

On initial recognition, financial assets are recognised at their fair value, including transaction costs directly attributable to the transaction. They are subsequently measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognised, under a specific line of shareholders' equity entitled "Changes in assets and liabilities recognised directly in equity that may be reclassified to profit or loss". These financial assets are also subject to the measurement of a loss allowance for expected credit losses on the same approach as for debt instruments at amortised cost. The counterparty of the related impact in cost of risk is recognised in the same specific line of shareholders' equity. On disposal, changes in fair value previously recognised in shareholders' equity are reclassified to profit or loss.

In addition, interest is recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method determined at the inception of the contract.

Equity instruments

Investments in equity instruments such as shares are classified on option, and on a case-by-case basis, at fair value through shareholders' equity (under a specific line). On disposal of the shares, changes in fair value previously recognised in equity are not recognised in profit or loss. Only dividends, if they represent remuneration for the investment and not repayment of capital, are recognised in profit or loss. These instruments are not subject to impairment.

Investments in mutual funds puttable to the issuer do not meet the definition of equity instruments. They do not meet the cash flow criterion either, and thus are recognised at fair value through profit or loss.

1.f.3 FINANCING AND GUARANTEE COMMITMENTS

Financing and financial guarantee commitments that are not recognised at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the note relating to financing and guarantee commitments. They are subject to the measurement of a loss allowance for expected credit losses. These loss allowances are presented under "Provisions for contingencies and charges".

The Group may issue performance guarantees in conjunction with integral indemnity agreements that provide the Group the right to claim back any amounts paid out from the party whose non-performance would have led to the guarantee being called. This type of commitment exposes the Group to credit risk and therefore results in the recognition of expected credit losses.

1.f.4 REGULATED SAVINGS AND LOAN CONTRACTS

Home savings accounts (Comptes Épargne-Logement – "CEL") and home savings plans (Plans d'Épargne Logement – "PEL") are government-regulated retail products sold in France. They combine a savings phase and a loan phase which are inseparable, with the loan phase contingent upon the savings phase.

These products contain two types of obligations for BNP Paribas: an obligation to pay interest on the savings for an indefinite period, at a rate set by the government at the inception of the contract (in the case of PEL products) or at a rate reset every six months using an indexation formula set by law (in the case of CEL products); and an obligation to lend to the customer (at the customer's option) an amount contingent upon the rights acquired during the savings phase, at a rate set at the inception of the contract (in the case of PEL products) or at a rate contingent upon the savings phase (in the case of CEL products).

The Group's future obligations with respect to each generation (in the case of PEL products, a generation comprises all products with the same interest rate at inception; in the case of CEL products, all such products constitute a single generation) are measured by discounting potential future earnings from at-risk outstandings for that generation.

At-risk outstandings are estimated on the basis of a historical analysis of customer behaviour, and are equivalent to:

  • for the loan phase: statistically probable loans outstanding and actual loans outstanding;
  • for the savings phase: the difference between statistically probable outstandings and minimum expected outstandings, with minimum expected outstandings being deemed equivalent to unconditional term deposits.

Earnings for future periods from the savings phase are estimated as the difference between the investment rate and the fixed savings interest rate on at-risk savings outstanding for the period in question. Earnings for future periods from the loan phase are estimated as the difference between the refinancing rate and the fixed loan interest rate on at-risk loans outstanding for the period in question.

The investment rate for savings and the refinancing rate for loans are derived from the swap yield curve and from the spreads expected on financial instruments of similar type and maturity. Spreads are determined on the basis of actual spreads on fixed-rate home loans in the case of the loan phase and products offered to individual clients in the case of the savings phase. In order to reflect the uncertainty of future interest rate trends, and the impact of such trends on customer behaviour models and on at-risk outstandings, the obligations are estimated using the Monte-Carlo method.

Where the sum of the Group's estimated future obligations with respect to the savings and loan phases of any generation of contracts indicates a potentially unfavourable situation for the Group, a provision is recognised (with no offset between generations) in the balance sheet in "Provisions for contingencies and charges". Movements in this provision are recognised as interest income in the profit and loss account.

1.f.5 IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST AND DEBT INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The impairment model for credit risk is based on expected losses.

This model applies to loans and debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at fair value through equity, to loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are not recognised at fair value, as well as to lease receivables, trade receivables and contract assets.

General model

The Group identifies three "stages" that each correspond to a specific status with regards to the evolution of counterparty credit risk since the initial recognition of the asset.

  • 12-month expected credit losses ("stage 1"): if at the reporting date, the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, this instrument is impaired at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses (resulting from the risk of default within the next 12 months).
  • Lifetime expected credit losses for non-impaired assets ("stage 2"): the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, but the financial asset is not considered credit-impaired or doubtful.
  • Lifetime expected credit losses for credit-impaired or doubtful financial assets ("stage 3"): the loss allowance is also measured for an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

This general model is applied to all instruments within the scope of IFRS 9 impairment, except for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets and instruments for which a simplified model is used (see below).

The IFRS 9 expected credit loss approach is symmetrical, i.e. if lifetime expected credit losses have been recognised in a previous reporting period, and if it is assessed in the current reporting period that there is no longer any significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the loss allowance reverts to a 12-months expected credit loss.

As regards interest income, under "stages" 1 and 2, it is calculated on the gross carrying amount. Under "stage 3", interest income is calculated on the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount adjusted for the loss allowance).

Definition of default

The definition of default is aligned with the Basel regulatory default definition, with a rebuttable presumption that the default occurs no later than 90 days past due. This definition takes into account the EBA guidelines of 28 September 2016, notably those regarding the thresholds applicable for the counting of past-due and probation periods.

The definition of default is used consistently for assessing the increase in credit risk and measuring expected credit losses.

Credit-impaired or doubtful financial assets

Definition

A financial asset is considered credit-impaired or doubtful and classified in "stage 3" when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred.

At an individual level, objective evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data regarding the following events: the existence of accounts that are more than 90 days past due; knowledge or indications that the borrower is experiencing significant financial difficulties, such that a risk can be considered to have arisen regardless of whether the borrower has missed any payments; concessions with respect to the credit terms granted to the borrower that the lender would not have considered had the borrower not been in financial difficulty (see section Restructuring of financial assets for financial difficulties).

Specific cases of purchased or originated credit-impaired assets

In some cases, financial assets are credit-impaired at initial recognition.

For these assets, no loss allowance is recorded on initial recognition. The effective interest rate is calculated taking into account the lifetime expected credit losses in the initial estimated cash flows. Any change in lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition, positive or negative, is recognised as a loss allowance adjustment in profit or loss.

Simplified model

The simplified approach consists in accounting for a loss allowance corresponding to lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition, and at each reporting date.

The Group applies this model to trade receivables with a maturity shorter than 12 months.

Significant increase in credit risk

A significant increase in credit risk may be assessed on an individual basis or on a collective basis (by grouping financial instruments according to common credit risk characteristics), taking into account all reasonable and supportable information and comparing the risk of default of the financial instrument at the reporting date with the risk of default of the financial instrument at the date of initial recognition.

Assessment of deterioration is based on the comparison of the probabilities of default derived from the ratings on the date of initial recognition with those existing at the reporting date.

There is also, according to the standard, a rebuttable presumption that the credit risk of an instrument has significantly increased since initial recognition when the contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

In the consumer credit specialist business, a significant increase in credit risk is also considered when a past due event has occurred within the last 12 months, even if it has since been regularised.

The approaches applied to assess the significant increase in credit risk are detailed in note 2.g Cost of risk.

Measurement of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses are defined as an estimate of credit losses (i.e. the present value of all cash shortfalls) weighted by the probability of occurrence of these losses over the expected life of the financial instruments. They are measured on an individual basis, for all exposures.

In practice, for exposures classified in stage 1 and stage 2, expected credit losses are measured as the product of the probability of default ("PD"), loss given default ("LGD") and exposure at default ("EAD"), discounted at the effective interest rate of the exposure (EIR). They result from the risk of default within the next 12 months (stage 1), or from the risk of default over the maturity of the facility (stage 2). In the consumer credit specialist business, because of the specificity of credit exposures, the methodology used is based on the probability of transition to term forfeiture, and on discounted loss rates after term forfeiture. These parameters are measured on a statistical basis for homogeneous populations.

For exposures classified in stage 3, expected credit losses are measured as the value, discounted at the effective interest rate, of all cash shortfalls over the life of the financial instrument. Cash shortfalls represent the difference between the cash flows that are due in accordance with the contract, and the cash flows that are expected to be received. Where appropriate, the estimate of expected cash flows takes into account a cash flow scenario arising from the sale of the defaulted loans or groups of loans. Proceeds from the sale are recorded net of costs to sell.

The methodology developed is based on existing concepts and methods (in particular the Basel framework) on exposures for which capital requirement for credit risk is measured according to the IRBA methodology. This method is also applied to portfolios for which capital requirement for credit risk is measured according to the standardised approach. Besides, the Basel framework has been adjusted in order to be compliant with IFRS 9 requirements, in particular the use of forward-looking information.

Maturity

All contractual terms of the financial instrument are taken into account, including prepayment, extension and similar options. In the rare cases where the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, the residual contractual term is used. The standard specifies that the maximum period to consider when measuring expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period. However, for revolving credit cards and overdrafts, in accordance with the exception provided by IFRS 9 for these products, the maturity considered for measuring expected credit losses is the period over which the entity is exposed to credit risk, which may extend beyond the contractual maturity (notice period). For revolving credits and overdrafts to non-retail counterparties, the contractual maturity can be used, for example if the next review date is the contractual maturity as they are individually managed.

Probabilities of Default (PD)

Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon.

The determination of the PD is based on the Group's internal rating system, which is described in chapter 5 of the Universal registration document (section 5.4 Credit risk – Credit risk management policy). This section describes how environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks are taken into account in credit and rating policies, notably with the introduction of a new tool: the ESG Assessment.

The measurement of expected credit losses requires the estimation of both 1-year probabilities of default and lifetime probabilities of default.

1-year PDs are derived from long term average regulatory "through the cycle" PDs to reflect the current situation ("Point in Time" or "PIT").

Lifetime PDs are determined based on the rating migration matrices reflecting the expected changes in the rating of the exposure until maturity, and the associated probabilities of default.

Loss Given Default (LGD)

Loss Given Default is the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash-flows, discounted using the effective interest rate (or an approximation thereof) at the default date. LGD is expressed as a percentage of the Exposure At Default (EAD).

The estimate of expected cash flows takes into account cash flows resulting from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements if they are part of the contractual terms and are not accounted for separately by the entity (for example, a mortgage associated with a residential loan), net of the costs of obtaining and selling the collateral.

For guaranteed loans, the guarantee is considered as integral to the loan agreement if it is embedded in the contractual clauses of the loan, or if it was granted concomitantly to the loan, and if the expected reimbursement amount can be attached to a loan in particular (i.e. absence of pooling effect by means of a tranching mechanism, or the existence of a global cap for a whole portfolio). In such case, the guarantee is taken into account when measuring the expected credit losses. Otherwise, it is accounted for as a separate reimbursement asset.

The LGD used for IFRS 9 purposes is derived from the Basel LGD parameters. It is adjusted for downturn and conservatism margins (in particular regulatory margins), except for margins for model uncertainties.

Exposure At Default (EAD)

Exposure At Default (EAD) of an instrument is the anticipated outstanding amount owed by the obligor at the time of default. It is determined by the expected payment profile taking into account, depending on the product type: the contractual repayment schedule, expected early repayments and expected future drawings for revolving facilities.

Forward-looking information

The amount of expected credit losses is measured on the basis of probability-weighted scenarios, in view of past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.

The approaches applied to take into account forward-looking information when measuring expected credit losses are detailed in note 2.g Cost of risk.

Write-offs

A write-off consists in reducing the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when there are no longer reasonable expectations of recovering that financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof, or when it has been fully or partially forgiven. The write-off is recorded when all other means available to the Bank for recovering the receivables or guarantees have failed, and also generally depends on the context specific to each jurisdiction.

If the amount of loss on write-off is greater than the accumulated loss allowance, the difference is recognised as an additional impairment loss in "Cost of risk". For any recovery once the financial asset (or part thereof) is no longer recognised on the balance sheet, the amount received is recorded as a gain in "Cost of risk".

Recoveries through the repossession of the collateral

When a loan is secured by a financial or a non-financial asset serving as a guarantee and the counterparty is in default, the Group may decide to exercise the guarantee and, depending on the jurisdiction, it may then become owner of the asset. In such a situation, the loan is written-off against the asset received as collateral.

Once ownership of the asset is effective, it is recognised at fair value and classified according to the intent of use.

Restructuring of financial assets for financial difficulties

A restructuring due to the borrower's financial difficulties is defined as a change in the terms and conditions of the initial transaction that the Group is considering only for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties.

For restructurings not resulting in derecognition of the financial asset, the restructured asset's gross carrying amount is reduced to the discounted amount, using the original effective interest rate of the asset, of the new expected future flows. The change in the gross carrying amount of the asset is recorded in the income statement in "Cost of risk".

The existence of a significant increase in credit risk for the financial instrument is then assessed by comparing the risk of default after the restructuring (under the revised contractual terms) and the risk of default at the initial recognition date (under the original contractual terms). In order to demonstrate that the criteria for recognising lifetime expected credit losses are no longer met, good payment behaviour will have to be observed over a certain period of time.

When the restructuring consists of a partial or total exchange against other substantially different assets (for example, the exchange of a debt instrument against an equity instrument), it results in the extinction of the original asset and the recognition of the assets remitted in exchange, measured at their fair value at the date of exchange. The difference in value is recorded in the income statement in "Cost of risk".

Modifications to financial assets that are not due to a borrower's financial difficulties, or granted in the context of a moratorium (i.e. commercial renegotiations) are generally analysed as the early repayment of the former loan, which is then derecognised, followed by the set-up of a new loan at market conditions. If there is no significant repayment penalty, they consist in resetting the interest rate of the loan at market conditions, with the client being in a position to change lender and not encountering any financial difficulties.

Probation periods

The Group applies observation periods to assess the possible return to a better stage. Accordingly, a 3-month probation period is observed for the transition from stage 3 to stage 2 which is extended to 12 months in the event of restructuring due to financial difficulties.

For the transition from stage 2 to stage 1, a probation period of two years is observed for loans that have been restructured due to financial difficulties.

1.f.6 COST OF RISK

Cost of risk includes the following items of profit or loss:

  • impairment gains and losses resulting from the accounting of loss allowances for 12-month expected credit losses and lifetime expected credit losses ("stage 1" and "stage 2") relating to debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at fair value through shareholders' equity, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are not recognised at fair value as well as lease receivables, contract assets and trade receivables;
  • impairment gains and losses resulting from the accounting of loss allowances relating to financial assets (including those at fair value through profit or loss) for which there is objective evidence of impairment ("stage 3"), write-offs on irrecoverable loans and amounts recovered on loans written-off;

It also includes expenses relating to fraud and to disputes inherent to the financing activity.

1.f.7 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

Trading portfolio and other financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

The trading portfolio includes instruments held for trading (trading transactions), including derivatives.

Other financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include debt instruments that do not meet the "collect" or "collect and sale" business model criterion or that do not meet the cash flow criterion, as well as equity instruments for which the fair value through shareholders' equity option has not been retained. Finally financial assets may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss if this enables the entity to eliminate or significantly reduce a mismatch in the measurement and accounting treatment of assets and liabilities that would otherwise arise if they were to be classified in separate categories.

All those financial instruments are measured at fair value at initial recognition, with transaction costs directly posted in profit or loss. At the reporting date, they are measured at fair value, with changes presented in "Net gain/loss on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss". Income, dividends, and realised gains and losses on disposal related to held-for-trading transactions are accounted for in the same profit or loss account.

Financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are recognised under option in this category in the two following situations:

  • for hybrid financial instruments containing one or more embedded derivatives which otherwise would have been separated and accounted for separately. An embedded derivative is such that its economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract;
  • when using the option enables the entity to eliminate or significantly reduce a mismatch in the measurement and accounting treatment of assets and liabilities that would otherwise arise if they were to be classified in separate categories.

Changes in fair value due to the own credit risk are recognised under a specific heading of shareholders' equity.

1.f.8 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument issued or its various components are classified as a financial liability or equity instrument, in accordance with the economic substance of the legal contract.

Financial instruments issued by the Group are qualified as debt instruments if the entity in the Group issuing the instruments has a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder of the instrument. The same applies if the Group is required to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group, or to deliver a variable number of the Group's own equity instruments.

Equity instruments result from contracts evidencing a residual interest in an entity's assets after deducting all of its liabilities.

Debt securities and subordinated debt

Debt securities and subordinated debt are measured at amortised cost unless they are recognised at fair value through profit or loss.

Debt securities are initially recognised at the issue value including transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Issued bonds redeemable or convertible into own equity may contain a debt component and an equity component, determined upon initial recognition of the transaction. In this case, they will be qualified as compound financial instruments.

In this respect, the Group has elected to record contingent convertible bonds issued, without maturity, when convertible into a variable number of own shares on the occurrence of a predetermined trigger event (e.g. a decrease in the solvency ratio below a threshold), as compound instruments, to the extent that the coupons on these bonds are paid discretionarily.

Equity instruments

The term "own equity instruments" refers to shares issued by the parent company (BNP Paribas SA) and by its fully consolidated subsidiaries. External costs that are directly attributable to an issue of new shares are deducted from equity net of all related taxes.

Own equity instruments held by the Group, also known as treasury shares, are deducted from consolidated shareholders' equity irrespective of the purpose for which they are held. Gains and losses arising on such instruments are eliminated from the consolidated profit and loss account.

When the Group acquires equity instruments issued by subsidiaries under the exclusive control of BNP Paribas, the difference between the acquisition price and the share of net assets acquired is recorded in retained earnings attributable to BNP Paribas shareholders. Similarly, the liability corresponding to put options granted to minority shareholders in such subsidiaries, and changes in the value of that liability, are offset against minority interests, with any surplus offset against retained earnings attributable to BNP Paribas shareholders. Until these options have been exercised, the portion of net income attributable to minority interests is allocated to minority interests in the profit and loss account. A decrease in the Group's interest in a fully consolidated subsidiary is recognised in the Group's accounts as a change in shareholders' equity.

Financial instruments issued by the Group and classified as equity instruments (e.g. undated super subordinated notes) are presented in the balance sheet in "Capital and retained earnings".

Distributions from a financial instrument classified as an equity instrument are recognised directly as a deduction from equity. Similarly, the transaction costs of an instrument classified as equity are recognised as a deduction from shareholders' equity.

Own equity instrument derivatives are treated as follows, depending on the method of settlement:

  • as equity instruments if they are settled by physical delivery of a fixed number of own equity instruments for a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset. Such instruments are not revalued;
  • as derivatives if they are settled in cash or by choice by physical delivery of the shares or in cash. Changes in value of such instruments are taken to the profit and loss account.

If the contract includes an obligation, whether contingent or not, for the bank to repurchase its own shares, the bank recognises the debt at its present value with an offsetting entry in shareholders' equity.

1.f.9 HEDGE ACCOUNTING

The Group retained the option provided by the standard to maintain the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 until the future standard on macro-hedging is entered into force. Furthermore, IFRS 9 does not explicitly address the fair value hedge of the interest rate risk on a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities. The provisions in IAS 39 for these portfolio hedges, as adopted by the European Union, continue to apply.

Derivatives contracted as part of a hedging relationship are designated according to the purpose of the hedge.

Fair value hedges are particularly used to hedge interest rate risk on fixed-rate assets and liabilities, both for identified financial instruments (securities, debt issues, loans, borrowings) and for portfolios of financial instruments (in particular, demand deposits and fixed-rate loans).

Cash flow hedges are particularly used to hedge interest rate risk on floating-rate assets and liabilities, including rollovers, and foreign exchange risks on highly probable forecast foreign currency revenues.

At the inception of the hedge, the Group prepares formal documentation which details the hedging relationship, identifying the instrument, or portion of the instrument, or portion of risk that is being hedged, the hedging strategy and the type of risk hedged, the hedging instrument, and the methods used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

On inception and at least quarterly, the Group assesses, in consistency with the original documentation, the actual (retrospective) and expected (prospective) effectiveness of the hedging relationship. Retrospective effectiveness tests are designed to assess whether the ratio of actual changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument to those in the hedged item is within a range of 80% to 125%. Prospective effectiveness tests are designed to ensure that expected changes in the fair value or cash flows of the derivative over the residual life of the hedge adequately offset those of the hedged item. For highly probable forecast transactions, effectiveness is assessed largely on the basis of historical data for similar transactions.

Under IAS 39 as adopted by the European Union, which excludes certain provisions on portfolio hedging, interest rate risk hedging relationships based on portfolios of assets or liabilities qualify for fair value hedge accounting as follows:

  • the risk designated as being hedged is the interest rate risk associated with the interbank rate component of interest rates on commercial banking transactions (loans to customers, savings accounts and demand deposits);
  • the instruments designated as being hedged correspond, for each maturity band, to a portion of the interest rate gap associated with the hedged underlying;
  • the hedging instruments used consist exclusively of "plain vanilla" swaps;
  • prospective hedge effectiveness is established by the fact that all derivatives must, on inception, have the effect of reducing interest rate risk in the portfolio of hedged underlying. Retrospectively, a hedge will be disqualified from hedge accounting once a shortfall arises in the underlying specifically associated with that hedge for each maturity band (due to prepayment of loans or withdrawals of deposits).

The accounting treatment of derivatives and hedged items depends on the hedging strategy.

In a fair value hedging relationship, the derivative instrument is remeasured at fair value in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss in "Net gain/loss on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss", symmetrically with the remeasurement of the hedged item to reflect the hedged risk. In the balance sheet, the fair value remeasurement of the hedged component is recognised in accordance with the classification of the hedged item in the case of a hedge of identified assets and liabilities, or under "Remeasurement adjustment on interest rate risk hedged portfolios" in the case of a portfolio hedging relationship.

If a hedging relationship ceases or no longer fulfils the effectiveness criteria, the hedging instrument is transferred to the trading book and accounted for using the treatment applied to this category. In the case of identified fixed-income instruments, the remeasurement adjustment recognised in the balance sheet is amortised at the effective interest rate over the remaining life of the instrument. In the case of interest rate risk hedged fixed-income portfolios, the adjustment is amortised on a straight-line basis over the remainder of the original term of the hedge. If the hedged item no longer appears in the balance sheet, in particular due to prepayments, the adjustment is taken to the profit and loss account immediately.

In a cash flow hedging relationship, the derivative is measured at fair value in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value taken to shareholders' equity on a separate line, "Changes in fair value recognised directly in equity". The amounts taken to shareholders' equity over the life of the hedge are transferred to the profit and loss account under "Net interest income" as and when the cash flows from the hedged item impact profit or loss. The hedged items continue to be accounted for using the treatment specific to the category to which they belong.

If the hedging relationship ceases or no longer fulfils the effectiveness criteria, the cumulative amounts recognised in shareholders' equity as a result of the remeasurement of the hedging instrument remain in equity until the hedged transaction itself impacts profit or loss, or until it becomes clear that the transaction will not occur, at which point they are transferred to the profit and loss account.

If the hedged item ceases to exist, the cumulative amounts recognised in shareholders' equity are immediately taken to the profit and loss account.

Whatever the hedging strategy used, any ineffective portion of the hedge is recognised in the profit and loss account under "Net gain/loss on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss".

Hedges of net foreign currency investments in subsidiaries and branches are accounted for in the same way as cash flow hedges. Hedging instruments may be foreign exchange derivatives or any other non-derivative financial instrument.

1.f.10 DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or most advantageous market, at the measurement date.

The Group determines the fair value of financial instruments either by using prices obtained directly from external data or by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques are primarily market and income approaches encompassing generally accepted models (e.g. discounted cash flows, Black-Scholes model, and interpolation techniques). They maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. They are calibrated to reflect current market conditions and valuation adjustments are applied as appropriate, when some factors such as model, liquidity and credit risks are not captured by the models or their underlying inputs but are nevertheless considered by market participants when setting the exit price.

The unit of measurement is the individual financial asset or financial liability but a portfolio-based measurement can be elected, subject to certain conditions. Accordingly, the Group retains this portfolio-based measurement exception to determine the fair value when some group of financial assets and financial liabilities and other contracts within the scope of the standard relating to financial instruments with substantially similar and offsetting market risks or credit risks is managed on the basis of a net exposure, in accordance with the documented risk management strategy.

Assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are categorised into the three following levels of the fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1: fair values are determined using directly quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Characteristics of an active market include the existence of a sufficient frequency and volume of activity and of readily available prices;
  • Level 2: fair values are determined based on valuation techniques for which significant inputs are observable market data, either directly or indirectly. These techniques are regularly calibrated and the inputs are corroborated with information from active markets;
  • Level 3: fair values are determined using valuation techniques for which significant inputs are unobservable or cannot be corroborated by market-based observations, due for instance to illiquidity of the instrument and significant model risk. An unobservable input is a parameter for which there are no market data available and that is therefore derived from proprietary assumptions about what other market participants would consider when assessing fair value. The assessment of whether a product is illiquid or subject to significant model risks is a matter of judgment.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the asset or liability is categorised in its entirety is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value.

For financial instruments disclosed in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and marginally some instruments disclosed in Level 2, a difference between the transaction price and the fair value may arise at initial recognition. This "Day One Profit" is deferred and released to the profit and loss account over the period during which the valuation parameters are expected to remain non-observable. When parameters that were originally non-observable become observable, or when the valuation can be substantiated in comparison with recent similar transactions in an active market, the unrecognised portion of the day one profit is released to the profit and loss account.

1.f.11 DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises all or part of a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows of the asset expire, or when the Group transfers the asset – either on the basis of a transfer of the contractual rights to its cash flows, or by retaining the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset while assuming an obligation to pay the cash flows of the asset under an eligible pass-through arrangement – as well as substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset.

Where the Group has transferred the cash flows of a financial asset but has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and has not in practice retained control of the financial asset, the Group derecognises the financial asset and then records separately, if necessary, an asset or liability representing the rights and obligations created or held as part of the transfer of the asset. If the Group has retained control of the financial asset, it maintains it on its balance sheet to the extent of its continuing involvement in that asset.

Upon the derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, a gain or loss on disposal is recognised in the profit and loss account for an amount equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the value of the consideration received, adjusted where appropriate for any unrealised gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity.

If all these conditions are not met, the Group retains the asset in its balance sheet and recognises a liability for the obligations arising on the transfer of the asset.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises all or part of a financial liability when the liability is extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is extinguished, cancelled or expired. A financial liability may also be derecognised in the event of a substantial change in its contractual terms or if exchanged with the lender for an instrument with substantially different contractual terms.

Repurchase agreements and securities lending/borrowing

Securities temporarily sold under repurchase agreements continue to be recognised in the Group's balance sheet in the category of securities to which they belong. The corresponding liability is recognised at amortised cost under the appropriate "Financial liabilities at amortised cost" category on the balance sheet, except in the case of repurchase agreements contracted for trading purposes, for which the corresponding liability is recognised in "Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss".

Securities temporarily acquired under reverse repurchase agreements are not recognised in the Group's balance sheet. The corresponding receivable is recognised at amortised cost under the appropriate "Financial assets at amortised cost" category in the balance sheet, except in the case of reverse repurchase agreements contracted for trading purposes, for which the corresponding receivable is recognised in "Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss".

Securities lending transactions do not result in derecognition of the lent securities, and securities borrowing transactions do not result in recognition of the borrowed securities on the balance sheet. In cases where the borrowed securities are subsequently sold by the Group, the obligation to deliver the borrowed securities on maturity is recognised on the balance sheet under "Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss".

1.f.12 OFFSETTING FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

A financial asset and a financial liability are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet if, and only if, the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Repurchase agreements and derivatives that meet the two criteria set out in the accounting standard are offset in the balance sheet.

1.g INSURANCE ACTIVITIES

1.g.1 INVESTMENTS RELATED TO INSURANCE ACTIVITIES

IFRS 9 is applied in the same way as other Group entities (see note 1.f).

Investments of insurance activities include investment property which are measured at fair value as underlying assets of direct participating contracts.

1.g.2 INSURANCE CONTRACTS

The Group applies IFRS 17 to insurance contracts issued, reinsurance contracts issued and held, and discretionary investment contracts issued (if the entity also issues insurance contracts).

The main insurance contracts issued by the Group correspond to:

  • contracts covering risks related to persons or property: creditor protection insurance contracts, protection contracts, contracts covering other non-life risks (automobile, multi-risk housing, etc.). These contracts are measured according to the general measurement model (Building Block Approach - BBA) or the premium allocation approach (PAA) for contracts eligible for this method ;
  • life or savings contracts: euro-denominated and multiple saving contracts (invested in a general fund and in unit-linked accounts) with or without insurance risk including a discretionary participating component and unit-linked contracts with a floor guarantee in the event of death. These contracts are measured using the variable fee approach (VFA).

A reinsurance contract (or treaty) is an insurance contract by which an insurer (ceding company or cedent) transfers part of its risks to a reinsurer. The Group acts as reinsurer by accepting risks related to persons or property from external insurers and as ceding company by transferring such risks to external reinsurers. Contracts may be proportional or non-proportional depending on the nature of the risks and the appetite for the risk accepted or retained. They are measured either according to the general model or according to the premium allocation approach since the standard prohibits the use of the variable fee approach for reinsurance contracts.

Investment contracts without discretionary participating features and without insurance risk backed by unit-linked underlying assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

The methods for measuring and recognising these various contracts according to the measurement model adopted are set out below.

These contracts are described in note 5.d "Assets and liabilities related to insurance contracts".

  • Prior separation of components covered by other standards and not closely related

When insurance or investment contracts with discretionary participation include components, which would fall within the scope of another standard if they were separate contracts, an analysis must be carried out to determine whether these components should be accounted for separately. Thus:

  • an embedded derivative is separated from the host insurance contract and accounted for under IFRS 9 when its economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract;
  • an investment component corresponds to the amount that the insurer is required to repay to the insured in all cases whether the insured event occurs or not. It is separated from the host insurance contract and accounted for under IFRS 9 when it is distinct from the host insurance contract and when equivalent contracts could be sold separately in the same market or legal area. It is not separated if it is closely linked to the host contract. Changes in a non-distinct investment component (and in particular related payments) are not recognised in the profit and loss account;
  • a promise to transfer to the policyholder distinct goods or services other than the services of the insurance contract is separated from the host insurance contract and accounted for under IFRS 15.

- Insurance contracts

An insurance contract is a contract under which a party, the issuer, assumes a significant insurance risk for another party, the policyholder, by agreeing to indemnify the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event, the insured event, is detrimental to the policyholder.

An insurance risk is significant if, and only if, an insured event can cause the insurer to pay significant additional amounts in any scenario, excluding scenarios that are devoid of commercial substance. A contract transfers a significant insurance risk only if there is a scenario with a commercial substance in which there is a possibility that the issuer will incur a loss based on the present value.

The insurance risks covered by Group entities are:

  • either risks related to physical person: mortality (guarantees in the event of death), longevity (guarantees in the event of survival, e.g. life annuities), morbidity (guarantees in the event of disability), permanent disability, health (medical coverage), unemployment of physical persons,
  • or risks of damage to property and civil liability.

Life or savings contracts issued by Group entities are qualified as insurance contracts if they include a risk in the event of survival (pension contracts with compulsory annuities) or a risk in the event of death (unit-linked contracts with a floor guarantee in the event of death and savings contracts with a guarantee of an additional amount payable in the event of death). In the absence of such risks, these contracts are investment contracts with or without discretionary participating features.

- Investment contracts with discretionary participating features

Investment contracts do not expose the insurer to significant insurance risk. They are within the scope of IFRS 17 if they are issued by entities that also issue insurance contracts.

Discretionary participation is defined as the contractual right to receive, in addition to an amount that is not at the issuer's discretion, additional amounts that are likely to represent a significant portion of the total benefits provided under the contract. Benefits, for which the timing or amount is contractually left to the issuer's discretion and that are contractually based on the returns arising from a defined set of contracts or type of contract or on the realised and/or unrealised investment returns from a defined set of assets held by the issuer, or the result of the entity or fund issuing the contract.

Savings contracts invested in a euro-denominated fund and multiple saving contracts invested in unit-linked assets and in a euro-denominated fund are considered by the Group as investment contracts with discretionary participating features, measured using the variable fee approach.

- Aggregation of contracts

Insurance contracts are accounted and measured by groups of contracts within portfolios of contracts covering similar risks and managed together. Groups of contracts are determined according to their expected profitability at inception: onerous contracts, profitable contracts with a low risk of becoming onerous, and others. A group of contracts may contain only contracts issued no more than one year apart (corresponding to an annual "cohort"), except where the optional exemption provided for in the European regulation applies, which is the case for life-savings contracts, as described below.

For creditor protection insurance, personal protection insurance and other non-life risks, the Group uses the following discriminatory criteria when constructing portfolios of homogeneous contracts: legal entity, nature of the risks and partner, distributor. The reinsurance contracts accepted shall follow the same principles.

For life and savings contracts, the Group uses the following criteria for portfolios of homogeneous contracts: legal entity, product and underlying assets. Savings and retirement contracts are classified in separate portfolios (including in the period prior to the transition) due to the existence of a risk of longevity in retirement contracts.

For reinsurance contracts held, the Group uses the following criteria: legal entity, underlying item and counterparty. A portfolio can sometimes correspond to a single reinsurance treaty.

- Recognition and derecognition

A group of insurance contracts (or reinsurance contracts issued) is recognised from the earliest of the following dates: the beginning of the period of coverage of the group of contracts, the date on which the first payment of a policyholder in the group becomes due (or, in the absence of such a date, when the first payment is received) and, in the case of a group of onerous contracts, the date on which the group becomes onerous.

A group of reinsurance contracts held is recognised from the beginning of the period of coverage of the group of reinsurance contracts held or, if the reinsurance was contracted in anticipation of the coverage of an underlying group of onerous insurance contracts, on the first recognition of that onerous group.

On initial recognition of portfolios of insurance contracts acquired as part of a business combination or a separate transfer, groups of contracts acquired are treated as if the contracts had been issued at the date of the transaction. The consideration received or paid in exchange for the contracts is treated as an approximation of the premiums received for the purpose of calculating the contractual service margin at initial recognition from this amount. In the case of a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3, the consideration received or paid is the fair value of the contracts at that date. For business combinations that have occurred since the first application of IFRS 17, this fair value has been determined by projecting the liabilities valuation under the Solvency 2 prudential approach which constitutes a market benchmark. For onerous contracts, the excess of the fulfilment cash flows over the consideration paid or received is recognised in the goodwill (or the profit resulting from an acquisition on advantageous terms) if it is a business combination and in a separate transfer, in the profit and loss account. For profitable contracts, the difference is recorded as a contractual service margin. In addition, an asset for cash flows related to acquisition costs must be recognised, for its fair value, for the acquisition costs related to the renewal of existing insurance contracts or for the acquisition costs already paid by the acquired company for future contracts.

An insurance contract shall be derecognised when the obligation it covers is extinguished, by payment or maturity, or if the terms of the contract are amended in such a way that the accounting treatment of the contract would have been substantially different if those amendments had originally existed. The derecognition of a contract entails the adjustment of the fulfilment cash flows, the contractual services margin and the coverage units of the group in which it was included.

General measurement model (Building Block Approach – BBA)

- Characteristics

The general model for the measurement of insurance contracts is the best estimate of the future cash flows to be paid or received necessary to meet contractual obligations. This estimate should reflect the different possible scenarios and the effect of the options and guarantees included in the contracts within the limit or "contract boundary". The determination of this contract boundary requires an analysis of the rights and obligations arising from the contract and, in particular, of the insurer's ability to change its price to reflect the risks. This leads, for example, to the exclusion of tacit renewals if the tariff can be amended or to the inclusion of such renewals if not.

Cash flows are discounted to reflect the time value of money. They correspond only to cash flows attributable to insurance contracts either directly or through allocation methods: premiums, acquisition and contract management costs, claims and benefits, indirect costs, taxes and depreciation of tangible and intangible assets.

The cash flows estimate is supplemented by an explicit risk adjustment to cover the uncertainty of cash flows for nonfinancial risk. These two elements constitute the fulfilment cash flows of the contracts. A contractual service margin is added representing the expected gain or loss on future services related to a group of contracts.

If the contractual service margin is positive, it is shown on the balance sheet within the insurance contract's measurement and amortised as the services are rendered; if negative, it is recognised immediately in the income statement. The original loss (or "loss component") is monitored extra-accounting to allow for the subsequent recognition of the insurance service revenue.

Acquisition costs are deducted from the contractual service margin of the group of contracts to which they relate and amortised over the coverage period of contracts.

At each reporting date, the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts is the sum of the liabilities for the remaining coverage which include the fulfilment cash flows related to future services (best estimate and risk adjustment) and the contractual service margin remaining at that date, and of the liabilities for incurred claims which include the best estimate of the cash flows and the risk adjustment, excluding any contractual service margin. The assumptions used to estimate future cash flows and the non-financial risks adjustment are updated, as well as the discount rate, to reflect the situation at the reporting date.

The contractual service margin is adjusted for changes in the estimates of non-financial assumptions related to future services, capitalised at inception rate, and then amortised in the income statement for services rendered over the period in the insurance service revenue. In the case of contracts which become onerous, after consumption of the contractual service margin, the loss is recognised in the reporting period. In the case of onerous contracts that become profitable again as a result of favourable changes in assumptions, the contractual service margin is only reconstitued after offsetting the loss component

The release of expected fulfillment flows (cash flow estimates and risk adjustments) for the period, except for the amount allocated to the loss component, is recorded in insurance service revenue. The change in estimates related to past service (cash flow estimates and risk adjustments) is recognised in "Insurance service expenses".

The Group includes the change in the adjustment for non-financial risk related to past and current services in its entirety in the "Insurance service result".

The Group records in equity the effect of the change in the discount rate on the cash flows. The expense of unwinding the discount is recorded in "Insurance financial income or expenses" based on the initial rate (the inception rate for the liability for remaining coverage, and the rate at claims occurrence date for the liability for incurred claims). The difference between the value of liabilities discounted at the rate fixed at initial date and the value of those same liabilities estimated using current discount rate is recognised in equity. The effect on liabilities of changes in financial variables, in particular the indexation of benefits under the contract, is also recognised in equity.

The discount rate is based on the risk-free rate adjusted for the illiquidity of the liabilities. For protection, the liquidity premium is currently valued at zero due to the short settlement period for claims on the main risks covered.

The risk adjustment is determined using the quantile method.

The coverage unit used to amortise the contractual service margin is derived from the risk premium earned during the period.

-Contracts concerned

Contracts covering personal or property risks (creditor protection insurance, protection and other non-life risks) are measured according to the general model when the contract boundary, expected changes in cash flows and the time value effect over the coverage period do not make them eligible under the simplified approach, or by operational choice (a single measurement model for short and long contracts).

Measurement model for contracts with direct participation features (Variable Fee Approach – VFA)

- Characteristics

Direct participating contracts are insurance or investment contracts for which:

  • the contractual terms specify that the policyholder is entitled to a share of a clearly defined portfolio of underlying assets;
  • the insurer expects to pay the policyholder a sum corresponding to a substantial portion of the return on the fair value of the underlying assets;
  • the insurer expects that any change in the amounts to be paid to the policyholder is, in a substantial proportion, attributable to the change in the fair value of the underlying assets.

Compliance with these conditions is monitored on the underwriting date and is not reviewed later.

For these contracts, for which the insurer has to pay the policyholder an amount corresponding to the fair value of clearly identified underlying assets, less a variable compensation, a specific model (called the "Variable Fee Approach") has been developed by adapting the general model.

At each reporting date, liabilities related to these contracts are adjusted for the return earned and changes in the fair value of the underlying assets: the policyholders' share is recorded in the contract fulfilment cash flows against insurance financial income or expense and the insurer's share corresponding to the variable fee is included in the contractual service margin.

The contractual service margin is also adjusted for the effect of changes in cash flows that do not vary according to the returns on the underlying assets and that relate to future services: estimation of cash flows, risk adjustment, changes in the time value effect of money and changes in the financial risks that do not result from the underlying assets (for example, the effect of financial guarantees).

Changes in the fulfillment cash flows that do not change in connection with the yields of underlying assets and that relate to past service events are recognised in the profit and loss account. This is the case for management fees and attributable costs.

Acquisition cash flows are deducted from the contractual service margin of the group of contracts to which they relate and amortised over the coverage period of the contracts, as in the general model.

Due to the mechanism for allocating the change in the value of the underlying assets between the policyholders and the insurer, the result of these contracts is in principle mainly represented by the release of the fulfilment cash flows and the amortisation of the contractual service margin. When the underlying assets fully support the liabilities and are measured at fair value through profit or loss, the financial result under these contracts should be nil. The Group has chosen the option of reclassifying in shareholders' equity the change in the liabilities related to the underlying assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Life and savings contracts meeting the above definition of direct participating contracts are valued using the variable fee approach. When these contracts include a surrender value, it meets the definition of a non-distinct investment component and changes in that investment component (including related payments) are therefore not recognised in the income statement.

The Group has chosen to apply the option introduced by the European regulation not to divide the portfolios of participating contracts based on intergenerational mutualisation by annual cohort. As a result of this choice, the assessment of the onerousness is made on the basis of the portfolio and not on the basis of the annual cohorts.

The contract boundary includes future payments as long as the applicable pricing is not modifiable (e.g. acquisition or management loadings), as well as the annuity phase in service when contracts provide for a mandatory annuity.

The discount rate is based on the risk-free rate, extrapolated over the duration exceeding the period for which observable data are available and adjusted by a liquidity premium on the basis of the underlying assets to reflect the illiquidity of the liabilities.

The risk adjustment is determined using the cost of capital method without considering the risk of mass lapses, including future payments and considering only attributable costs.

The coverage unit used to amortise the contractual service margin is the change in savings due to policyholders (determined at present value), adjusted to take into account the impact of the real return on financial or property assets compared with the actuarial neutral risk projection.

-Contracts concerned

Insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participating features backed by pools of underlying assets commonly referred to as "general funds" or "policyholders' funds" that correspond to pools of assets isolated analytically, contractually or in regulation, as well as unit-linked contracts with a floor guarantee in case of death and multiple saving contracts backed by assets such as a "general fund" are measured using the variable fee approach.

The option provided for in the European regulation related to the annual cohort exemption is applied to insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features where the policyholders' profit-sharing is mutualised between the different generations of policyholders: these are euro-denominated or multiple saving contracts including a euro-denominated fund, in France, Italy and Luxembourg.

The liabilities for incurred claims are measured using the variable fee approach if it is sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying assets and the general model if it is not.

Simplified measurement model (Premium Allocation Approach – PAA)

- Characteristics

Short-term contracts (less than one year) may be measured using a simplified approach known as the premium allocation approach, also applicable to longer-term contracts if it leads to results similar to those of the general model in terms of liability for the remaining coverage.

Contracts with a long contract boundary, where significant changes in cash flows are expected over the coverage period, or where the time value effect over the coverage period is material, are not eligible for the simplified approach.

For profitable contracts, the liability for the remaining coverage corresponds to the deferral of premiums collected according to a profile representing the remaining coverage at the reporting date. For onerous contracts, deferred premiums are supplemented by an estimate of the expected loss over the coverage period. Liabilities for incurred claims are valued according to the general model. In this case, the method used to determine the risk adjustment is the same as for the general model.

The Group has chosen the option of deferring acquisition costs over the coverage duration and therefore presenting them as a deduction of the deferred premiums, except where the coverage of the contracts coincides with the calendar year or the deferred acquisition costs are not material.

Liabilities for incurred claims are discounted if the expected settlement of claims takes place after one year from the date of occurrence. The discount expense is recognised in insurance financial income or expenses as in the general model. In this case, the option to classify the effect of changes in the discount rate into equity is also applicable. The Group has retained this option for the liabilities for incurred claims.

At each reporting date, the adjustment of liabilities for remaining coverage and for incurred claims is recognised in profit or loss.

- Contracts concerned

Creditor protection insurance, personal protection insurance and other non-life insurance contracts, are measured using the simplified approach if the conditions are met (unless the general model is chosen for operational reasons).

Treatment of the reinsurance

-Reinsurance contracts issued (reinsurance accepted)

Reinsurance accepted shall be treated as insurance contracts issued, either in the general model or in the simplified model, depending on the duration of the reinsurance contracts.

The Group accepts mainly risks corresponding to those it covers as a direct insurer under proportional or non-proportional treaties.

-Reinsurance contracts held (reinsurance ceded)

The reinsurance ceded is also treated according to the general or simplified model, but the equivalent of the contractual service margin represents the expected gain or loss on the reinsurance and may be positive or negative. If a reinsurance contract offsets the losses of an underlying group of onerous contracts, the reinsurance gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. This "loss recovery component" is used to record amounts that are subsequently presented in net income.

In addition, contract execution flows include the reinsurer's risk of non-performance.

The Group cedes on reinsurance the risks it wishes to hedge (for example, non-proportional treaties covering peak risk, the risk of accumulation or exceeding the desired retention) or under the risk-sharing framework of proportional treaties for technical or commercial reasons.

The reinsurance contracts held are measured by the Group using the simplified approach or the general model.

Presentation in the balance sheet and in the profit and loss

The Group has chosen to present the investments of insurance activities and their results separately from the financial assets and liabilities of banking activities.

Financial income or expenses from issued insurance contracts are presented separately between the profit and loss account and shareholders' equity for portfolios for which this breakdown has been deemed relevant, as allowed by the standard. For the Protection contracts liabilities measured under the general model and for the liabilities for incurred claims arising from contracts measured under the simplified model, this choice for portfolios classification was made by taking into account both the effects in the profit and loss account of the undiscounting of the liabilities and the accounting treatment of the assets backing them. For contracts measured using the variable fee approach, this choice was made to offset any accounting mismatch that may exist in the profit and loss account between the effect of changes in fair value from insurance or investment liabilities and that from the underlying assets when these are not recognised at fair value through profit or loss.

Insurance contracts may be distributed and managed by non-insurance entities of the Group that are remunerated as such by commissions paid by insurance entities. The measurement model for insurance contracts requires projecting in the contract fulfilment cash flows the acquisition and management costs that will be paid in the future and presenting in the profit and loss account, the release of the estimated costs for the period on the one hand, and on the other, the actual costs. For commissions between consolidated companies in the Group, the Group restates the internal margin on the balance sheet and in the profit and loss account (in the breakdown of insurance liabilities and the related results between cash flows and contractual service margin) by presenting as insurance service expenses the portion of the general expenses (excluding internal margins) of the banking entities that can be attributed to the insurance activity. The internal distributors' margins are determined based on standardised management data for each of the related networks.

Effect of accounting estimates in interim financial statements

The Group has elected under IFRS 17 to record in its annual financial statements the effects of changes in accounting estimates relating to insurance contracts issued or held, without taking into account estimates previously made in its interim financial statements.

1.h PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets shown in the consolidated balance sheet are composed of assets used in operations and investment property. Rights-of-use related to leased assets (see note 1.i.2) are presented by the lessee within fixed assets in the same category as similar assets held.

Assets used in operations are those used in the provision of services or for administrative purposes, and include nonproperty assets leased by the Group as lessor under operating leases.

Investment property comprises property assets held to generate rental income and capital gains.

Investment property is recognised at cost, except for those held as underlying assets under participating direct contracts (as amended by IAS 40), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss and presented in the balance sheet under "Investments related to insurance activities" (see note 1.g.1).

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are initially recognised at purchase price plus directly attributable costs, together with borrowing costs where a long period of construction or adaptation is required before the asset can be brought into service. By way of exception, property occupied by the holder entity that is an underlying component of direct participating contracts is measured at fair value (by amendment to IAS 16).

Software developed internally by the BNP Paribas Group that fulfils the criteria for capitalisation is capitalised at direct development cost, which includes external costs and the labour costs of employees directly attributable to the project.

Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation and any impairment losses.

The depreciable amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is calculated after deducting the residual value of the asset. Only assets leased by the Group as the lessor under operating leases are presumed to have a residual value, as the useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets used in operations is generally the same as their economic life.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are depreciated or amortised using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. Depreciation and amortisation expense is recognised in the profit and loss account under "Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets".

Where an asset consists of a number of components which may require replacement at regular intervals, or which have different uses or generate economic benefits at different rates, each component is recognised separately and depreciated using a method appropriate to that component. The BNP Paribas Group has adopted the componentbased approach for property used in operations and for investment property.

The depreciation periods used for office property are as follows: 80 years or 60 years for the shell (for prime and other property respectively); 30 years for facades; 20 years for general and technical installations; and 10 years for fixtures and fittings.

Software is amortised, depending on its type, over periods of no more than 8 years in the case of infrastructure developments and 3 years or 5 years in the case of software developed primarily for the purpose of providing services to customers.

Software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. However, expenditure that is regarded as upgrading the software or extending its useful life is included in the initial acquisition or production cost.

Depreciable property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment if there is an indication of potential impairment at the balance sheet date. Non-depreciable assets are tested for impairment at least annually, using the same method as for goodwill allocated to cash-generating units.

If there is an indication of impairment, the new recoverable amount of the asset is compared with the carrying amount. If the asset is found to be impaired, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. This loss is reversed in the event of a change in the estimated recoverable amount or if there is no longer an indication of impairment. Impairment losses are taken to the profit and loss account in "Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets".

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets used in operations are recognised in the profit and loss account in "Net gain on non-current assets".

Gains and losses on disposals of investment property are recognised in the profit and loss account in "Income from other activities" or "Expense on other activities".

1.i LEASES

Group companies may either be the lessee or the lessor in a lease agreement.

1.i.1 GROUP COMPANY AS LESSOR

Leases contracted by the Group as lessor are categorised as either finance leases or operating leases.

Finance leases

In a finance lease, the lessor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset to the lessee. It is treated as a loan made to the lessee to finance the purchase of the asset.

The present value of the lease payments, plus any residual value, is recognised as a receivable. The net income earned from the lease by the lessor is equal to the amount of interest on the loan and is taken to the profit and loss account under "Interest income". The lease payments are spread over the lease term and are allocated to reduction of the principal and to interest such that the net income reflects a constant rate of return on the net investment outstanding in the lease. The rate of interest used is the rate implicit in the lease.

Impairments of lease receivables are determined using the same principles as applied to financial assets measured at amortised cost.

Operating leases

An operating lease is a lease under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are not transferred to the lessee.

The asset is recognised under property, plant and equipment in the lessor's balance sheet and depreciated on a straight-line basis over its useful life. The depreciable amount excludes the residual value of the asset. The lease payments are taken to the profit and loss account in full on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments and depreciation expenses are taken to the profit and loss account under "Income from other activities" and "Expense on other activities".

1.i.2 GROUP COMPANY AS LESSEE

Lease contracts concluded by the Group, with the exception of contracts whose term is shorter than or equal to 12 months and low-value contracts, are recognised in the balance-sheet in the form of a right-of-use on the leased asset presented under fixed assets, along with the recognition of a financial liability for the rent and other payments to be made over the leasing period. The right of use assets is amortised on a straight-line basis and the financial liabilities are amortised on an actuarial basis over the lease period. Dismantling costs corresponding to specific and significant fittings and fixtures are included in the initial right-of-use estimation, in counterparty of a provision liability.

The key hypotheses used by the Group for the measurement of rights of use and lease liabilities are the following:

• the lease term corresponds to the non-cancellable period of the contract, together with periods covered by an extension option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise this option. In France, the standard commercial lease contract is the so-called "three, six, nine" contract for which the maximum period of use is nine years, with a first non-cancellable period of three years followed by two optional extension periods of three years each; hence, depending on the assessment, the lease term can be of three, six or nine years. When investments like fittings or fixtures are performed under the contract, the lease term is aligned with their useful lives. For tacitly renewable contracts, with or without an enforceable period, related right of use and lease liabilities are recognised based on an estimate of the reasonably foreseeable economic life of the contracts, minimal occupation period included;

  • the discount rate used to measure the right of use and the lease liability is assessed for each contract as the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or more generally based on the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee at the date of signature. The incremental borrowing rate is determined considering the average term (duration) of the contract;
  • when the contract is modified, a new assessment of the lease liability is made taking into account the new residual term of the contract, and therefore a new assessment of the right of use and the lease liability is established.

1.j ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Where the Group decides to sell assets or a group of assets and liabilities and it is highly probable that the sale will occur within 12 months, these assets are shown separately in the balance sheet, on the line "Assets held for sale". Any liabilities associated with these assets are also shown separately in the balance sheet, on the line "Liabilities associated with assets held for sale". When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary and the sale is highly probable within 12 months, all the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale.

Once classified in this category, assets and the group of assets and liabilities are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Such assets are no longer depreciated. If an asset or group of assets and liabilities becomes impaired, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. Impairment losses may be reversed.

Where a group of assets and liabilities held for sale represents a cash generating unit, it is categorised as a "discontinued operation". Discontinued operations include operations that are held for sale, operations that have been shut down, and subsidiaries acquired exclusively with a view to resell.

In this case, gains and losses related to discontinued operations are shown separately in the profit and loss account, on the line "Net income from discontinued activities". This line includes after tax profits or losses of discontinued operations, after tax gain or loss arising from remeasurement at fair value less costs to sell, and after tax gain or loss on disposal of the operation.

1.k EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Employee benefits are classified into four categories:

  • short-term benefits, such as salary, annual leave, incentive plans, profit-sharing and additional payments;
  • long-term benefits, including compensated absences, long-service awards, and other types of cash-based deferred compensation;
  • termination benefits;
  • post-employment benefits, including top-up banking industry pensions and retirement bonuses in France and pension plans in other countries, some of which are operated through pension funds.

Short-term benefits

The Group recognises an expense when it has used services rendered by employees in exchange for employee benefits.

Long-term benefits

These are benefits, other than short-term benefits, post-employment benefits and termination benefits. This relates, in particular, to compensation deferred for more than 12 months and not linked to the BNP Paribas share price, which is accrued in the financial statements for the period in which it is earned.

The actuarial techniques used are similar to those used for defined-benefit post-employment benefits, except that the revaluation items are recognised in the profit and loss account and not in equity.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are employee benefits payable in exchange for the termination of an employee's contract as a result of either a decision by the Group to terminate a contract of employment before the legal retirement age, or a decision by an employee to accept voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. Termination benefits due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date are discounted.

Post-employment benefits

In accordance with IFRS, the BNP Paribas Group draws a distinction between defined-contribution plans and definedbenefit plans.

Defined-contribution plans do not give rise to an obligation for the Group and do not require a provision. The amount of the employer's contributions payable during the period is recognised as an expense.

Only defined-benefit schemes give rise to an obligation for the Group. This obligation must be measured and recognised as a liability by means of a provision.

The classification of plans into these two categories is based on the economic substance of the plan, which is reviewed to determine whether the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to pay the agreed benefits to employees.

Post-employment benefit obligations under defined-benefit plans are measured using actuarial techniques that take demographic and financial assumptions into account.

The net liability recognised with respect to post-employment benefit plans is the difference between the present value of the defined-benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets (if any).

The present value of the defined-benefit obligation is measured on the basis of the actuarial assumptions applied by the Group, using the projected unit credit method. This method takes into account various parameters, specific to each country or Group entity, such as demographic assumptions, the probability that employees will leave before retirement age, salary inflation, a discount rate, and the general inflation rate.

When the value of the plan assets exceeds the amount of the obligation, an asset is recognised if it represents a future economic benefit for the Group in the form of a reduction in future contributions or a future partial refund of amounts paid into the plan.

The annual expense recognised in the profit and loss account under "Salaries and employee benefits", with respect to defined-benefit plans includes the current service cost (the rights vested by each employee during the period in return for service rendered), the net interests linked to the effect of discounting the net defined-benefit liability (asset), the past service cost arising from plan amendments or curtailments, and the effect of any plan settlements.

Remeasurements of the net defined-benefit liability (asset) are recognised in shareholders' equity and are never reclassified to profit or loss. They include actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the defined-benefit liability or asset).

1.l SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Share-based payment transactions are payments based on shares issued by the Group, whether the transaction is settled in the form of equity or cash of which the amount is based on trends in the value of BNP Paribas shares.

Stock option and share award plans

The expense related to stock option and share award plans is recognised over the vesting period, if the benefit is conditional upon the grantee's continued employment.

Stock options and share award expenses are recorded under salary and employee benefits expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to shareholders' equity. They are calculated on the basis of the overall plan value, determined at the date of grant by the Board of directors.

In the absence of any market for these instruments, financial valuation models are used that take into account any performance conditions related to the BNP Paribas share price. The total expense of a plan is determined by multiplying the unit value per option or share awarded by the estimated number of options or shares awarded vested at the end of the vesting period, taking into account the conditions regarding the grantee's continued employment.

The only assumptions revised during the vesting period, and hence resulting in a remeasurement of the expense, are those relating to the probability that employees will leave the Group and those relating to performance conditions that are not linked to the price value of BNP Paribas shares.

Share price-linked cash-settled deferred compensation plans

The expense related to these plans is recognised in the year during which the employee rendered the corresponding services.

If the payment of share-based variable compensation is explicitly subject to the employee's continued presence at the vesting date, the services are presumed to have been rendered during the vesting period and the corresponding compensation expense is recognised on a pro rata basis over that period. The expense is recognised under salary and employee benefits expenses with a corresponding liability in the balance sheet. It is revised to take into account any non-fulfilment of the continued presence or performance conditions and the change in BNP Paribas share price.

If there is no continued presence condition, the expense is not deferred, but recognised immediately with a corresponding liability in the balance sheet. This is then revised on each reporting date until settlement to take into account any performance conditions and the change in the BNP Paribas share price.

1.m PROVISIONS RECORDED UNDER LIABILITIES

Provisions recorded under liabilities (other than those relating to financial instruments, employee benefits and insurance contracts) mainly relate to restructuring, claims and litigation, fines and penalties.

A provision is recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle an obligation arising from a past event, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount of such obligations is discounted, where the impact of discounting is material, in order to determine the amount of the provision.

1.n CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX

The current income tax charge is determined on the basis of the tax laws and tax rates in force in each country in which the Group operates during the period in which the income is generated.

Deferred taxes are recognised when temporary differences arise between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences other than:

  • taxable temporary differences on initial recognition of goodwill;
  • taxable temporary differences on investments in enterprises under the exclusive or joint control of the Group, where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused carryforwards of tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that the entity in question will generate future taxable profits against which these temporary differences and tax losses can be offset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the liability method, using the tax rate which is expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been or will have been enacted by the balance sheet date of that period. They are not discounted.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they arise within the same tax group, they fall under the jurisdiction of a single tax authority, and there is a legal right to offset.

As regards the assessment of uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Group adopts the following approach:

  • the Group assesses whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment;
  • any uncertainty shall be reflected when determining the taxable profit (loss) by considering either the most likely amount (having the higher probability of occurrence), or the expected value (sum of the probabilityweighted amounts).

Current and deferred taxes are recognised as tax income or expenses in the profit and loss account, except for those relating to a transaction or an event directly recognised in shareholders' equity, which are also recognised in shareholders' equity. This concerns in particular the tax effect of coupons paid on financial instruments issued by the Group and qualified as equity instruments, such as undated super subordinated notes.

When tax credits on revenues from receivables and securities are used to settle corporate income tax payable for the period, the tax credits are recognised on the same line as the income to which they relate. The corresponding tax expense continues to be carried in the profit and loss account under "Corporate income tax".

1.o CASH FLOW STATEMENT

The cash and cash equivalents balance is composed of the net balance of cash accounts and accounts with central banks, and the net balance of interbank demand loans and deposits.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents related to operating activities reflect cash flows generated by the Group's operations, including those relating to financial investments of insurance activities and negotiable certificates of deposit.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents related to investing activities reflect cash flows resulting from acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures included in the consolidated Group, as well as acquisitions and disposals of property, plant and equipment excluding investment property and property held under operating leases.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents related to financing activities reflect the cash inflows and outflows resulting from transactions with shareholders, cash flows related to bonds and subordinated debt, and debt securities (excluding negotiable certificates of deposit).

1.p USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Preparation of the financial statements requires managers of core businesses and corporate functions to make assumptions and estimates that are reflected in the measurement of income and expense in the profit and loss account and of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet, and in the disclosure of information in the notes to the financial statements. This requires the managers in question to exercise their judgement and to make use of information available at the date of the preparation of the financial statements when making their estimates. The actual future results from operations where managers have made use of estimates may in reality differ significantly from those estimates, mainly according to market conditions. This may have a material effect on the financial statements.

This applies in particular to:

  • the analysis of the cash flow criterion for specific financial assets;
  • the measurement of expected credit losses. This applies in particular to the assessment of significant increase in credit risk, the models and assumptions used to measure expected credit losses, the determination of the different economic scenarios and their weighting;
  • the analysis of renegotiated loans, in order to assess whether they should be maintained on the balance-sheet or derecognised;
  • the assessment of an active market, and the use of internally developed models for the measurement of the fair value of financial instruments not quoted in an active market classified in "Financial assets at fair value through equity", or in "Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss", whether as assets or liabilities, and more generally calculations of the fair value of financial instruments subject to a fair value disclosure requirement;
  • the assumptions applied to assess the sensitivity to each type of market risk of the market value of financial instruments and the sensitivity of these valuations to the main unobservable inputs as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements;
  • the appropriateness of the designation of certain derivative instruments such as cash flow hedges, and the measurement of hedge effectiveness;
  • impairment tests performed on intangible assets;
  • the estimation of residual assets values under simple lease agreements. These values are used as a basis for the determination of depreciation as well as any impairment, notably in relation to the effect of environmental considerations on the evaluation of future prices of second-hand vehicles;
  • the deferred tax assets;
  • the measurement of insurance liabilities and assets, and investment contracts with discretionary participation, by groups of contracts, on the basis of discounted and probability weighted future fulfilment cash flows, based on assumptions that can be derived from market or entity-specific data, and the recognition of the results of such contracts on the basis of the services rendered over the coverage period;
  • the measurement of uncertainty over income tax treatments and other provisions for contingencies and charges. In particular, while investigations and litigations are ongoing, it is difficult to foresee their outcome and potential impact. Provision estimation is established by taking into account all available information at the date of the preparation of the financial statements, in particular the nature of the dispute, the underlying facts, the ongoing legal proceedings and court decisions, including those related to similar cases. The Group may also use the opinion of experts and independent legal advisers to exercise its judgement.

2. NOTES TO THE PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2024

2.a NET INTEREST INCOME

The BNP Paribas Group includes in "Interest income" and "Interest expense" all income and expense calculated using the effective interest method (interest, fees and transaction costs) from financial instruments measured at amortised cost and financial instruments measured at fair value through equity.

These items also include the interest income and expense of non-trading financial instruments the characteristics of which do not allow for recognition at amortised cost or at fair value through equity, as well as of financial instruments that the Group has designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The change in fair value on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (excluding accrued interest) is recognised under "Net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss".

Interest income and expense on derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are included with the revenues generated by the hedged item. Similarly, interest income and expense arising from derivatives used to hedge transactions designated as at fair value through profit or loss is allocated to the same accounts as the interest income and expense relating to the underlying transactions.

In the case of a negative interest rates related to loans and receivables or deposits from customers and credit institutions, they are accounted for in interest expense or interest income respectively.

Total interest income/(expense) 42,401 (32,829) 9,572 36,135 (27,079) 9,056

Net interest income notably includes an expense of EUR 36 million for the first half 2024, compared with EUR 833 million for the first half 2023, due to the adjustment of economic hedges consecutive to the changes in the TLTRO terms and conditions mentioned below.

Net interest income includes funding costs related to Global Markets, whose revenues are mainly accounted for in "Net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss" (see note 2.c), as well as to Arval, whose income from operating leases is presented in note 2.e.

The evolution of the net interest income is therefore to be analysed in conjunction with those observed for these lines.

Interest income on individually impaired loans amounted to EUR 154 million for the first half 2024, compared with EUR 161 million for the first half 2023.

The Group subscribed to the TLTRO III (Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations) programme, as modified by the Governing Council of the European Central Bank in March 2020, in December 2020 and in October 2022 (see note 4.f). The Group achieved the lending performance thresholds that enabled it to benefit from favourable interest rate conditions applicable for each of the reference period, namely:

  • over the two special interest periods (i.e. from June 2020 to June 2022): the average deposit facility rate ("DFR") -50 basis points, or -1%;
  • over the next period (i.e. from June 2022 to November 2022): the average of the DFR between the TLTRO III initial date of subscription and 22 November 2022, i.e., for the main draws, -0.36% for the June 2020 tranche and -0.29% for the March 2021 tranche;
  • over the last period (since 23 November 2022): the average of the DFR between 23 November 2022 and the redemption date. The average effective interest rate for the latter period was 3.3% (1.64% until 31 December 2022, 3.31% for the year 2023 and 4 % for the first half 2024). For tranches not yet matured, the average effective interest rate applied for the first half 2024 was 3.97%.

This floating interest rate is considered as a market rate since it is applicable to all financial institutions meeting the lending criteria defined by the European Central Bank. The effective interest rate of these financial liabilities is determined for each reference period, its two components (reference rate and margin) being adjustable; it corresponds to the nominal interest rate. The addition of the last interest period in October 2022 is part of the European Central Bank's monetary policy and is therefore not considered a contractual amendment according to IFRS 9 but a revision of the market rate.

2.c NET GAIN ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

Net gain on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss includes all profit and loss items relating to financial instruments held for trading, financial instruments that the Group has designated as at fair value through profit or loss, non-trading equity instruments that the Group did not choose to measure at fair value through equity, as well as debt instruments whose cash flows are not solely repayments of principal and interest on the principal or whose business model is not to collect cash flows nor to collect cash flows and sell the assets.

These income items include dividends on these instruments and exclude interest income and expense from financial instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss and instruments whose cash flows are not only repayments of principal and interest on the principal or whose business model is not to collect cash flows nor to collect cash flows and sell the assets, which are presented in "Net interest income" (see note 2.a).

Gains and losses on financial instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss are mainly related to instruments for which changes in value may be compensated by changes in the value of economic hedging derivative financial instruments held for trading.

Net gain on financial instruments held for trading during the first halves of 2024 and 2023 includes a non-material amount related to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges.

Potential sources of ineffectiveness can be the differences between hedging instruments and hedged items, notably generated by mismatches in the terms of hedged and hedging instruments, such as the frequency and timing of interest rates resetting, the frequency of payments and the discounting factors, or when hedging derivatives have a non-zero fair value at the inception date of the hedging relationship. Credit valuation adjustments applied to hedging derivatives are also sources of ineffectiveness.

Cumulated changes in fair value related to discontinued cash flow hedge relationships, previously recognised in equity and included during the first half of 2024 in profit and loss accounts are not material, whether the hedged item ceased to exist or not.

Taxes and contributions, including those related to insurance activities, amounted to EUR 1,011 million for the first half of 2024 (compared with EUR 1,953 million for the first half of 2023).

Expenses directly attributable to insurance contracts are presented in "Net income from insurance activities". These costs consist mainly of distribution commissions paid for the acquisition of the contracts and other costs necessary for handling the contracts. They are included in the fulfilment expenses within the "Insurance service result" (see note 5.a).

Expenses attributable to insurance contracts include the operating expenses incurred by the Group banking networks to distribute insurance contracts. Related costs are assessed on the basis of the commissions paid by the insurance entities to the internal distributors less their margin. These costs are excluded from "Operating expenses" to be included in the contracts fulfilment cash flows through the "Reclassification of expenses incurred by internal distributors attributable to insurance contracts".

Operating costs not directly attributable to insurance contracts are included in "Operating expenses".

Reconciliation by type and by function of insurance activities operating expenses is presented in note 5.b.

2.g COST OF RISK

The general model for impairment described in note 1.f.5 used by the Group relies on the following two steps:

  • assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, and
  • measuring impairment allowance as either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit loss (i.e. loss expected at maturity).

Both steps rely on forward-looking information.

Significant increase in credit risk

At 31 December 2022, BNP Paribas revised its criteria for assessing the significant increase in credit risk in line with the recommendations issued by the European Banking Authority and the European Central Bank.

Under these criteria, credit risk is assumed to have significantly increased, and the asset is classified in stage 2, if the probability of default to maturity of the instrument has increased at least threefold since its origination. This relative variation criterion is supplemented by an absolute variation criterion of the default probability of 400 basis points.

Furthermore, for all portfolios (except for the consumer credit specialist business):

  • the facility is assumed to be in stage 1 when its 1-year "Point in Time" probability of default (PiT PD), including forward-looking information, is below 0.3% at the reporting date, since changes in probability of default due to credit downgrades in this zone are not material, and therefore not considered "significant";
  • when the 1-year PiT PD is greater than 20% at the reporting date, given the Group's credit issuance practices, the deterioration is considered significant, and the facility is classified in stage 2 (as long as the facility is not credit-impaired).

In the consumer credit specialist business, the existence of a payment incident during the last 12 months, potentially regularised, is considered to be an indication of significant increase in credit risk and the facility is therefore classified in stage 2.

Credit risk is assumed to have increased significantly since initial recognition and the asset is classified in stage 2 in the event of late payment of more than 30 days or restructuring due to financial difficulties (as long as the facility is not credit-impaired). Since 31 December 2023, performing corporate clients placed under credit watch are systematically downgraded to stage 2.

In 2022, the internal ratings of the Russian counterparties (including the sovereign rating) were systematically downgraded to take into account the geopolitical situation of the country, thus leading to the transfer of their outstandings to stage 2. However, given the Group's limited level of exposure to this country, this deterioration had no significant effect on the cost of risk.

The Group considers forward-looking information both when assessing significant increase in credit risk and when measuring Expected Credit Losses (ECL).

Regarding the measurement of expected credit losses, the Group has chosen to use 4 macroeconomic scenarios by geographic area covering a wide range of potential future economic conditions:

  • a baseline scenario, consistent with the scenario used for budgeting and forecasting;
  • a favourable scenario, capturing situations where the economy performs better than anticipated;
  • an adverse scenario, corresponding to the scenario used for the Group's quarterly stress tests;
  • a severe scenario corresponding to a shock of magnitude greater than that of the adverse scenario.

The link between the macroeconomic scenarios and the ECL measurement is mainly achieved through a modelling of the probabilities of default and deformation of migration matrices based on internal rating (or risk parameter). The probabilities of default determined according to these scenarios are used to measure expected credit losses in each of these scenarios.

The Group's setup is broken down by sector to take into account the heterogeneity of sectoral dynamics when assessing the probability of default for corporates.

Forward-looking information is also considered when determining the significant deterioration in credit risk. As a matter of fact, the probabilities of default used as the basis for this assessment include forward-looking multi-scenario information in the same way as for the calculation of the expected losses.

The weight to be attributed to the expected credit losses calculated in each of the scenarios is defined as follows:

  • the weight of the baseline scenario is 50%.
  • the weight of the three alternative scenarios is defined according to the position in the credit cycle. In this approach, the adverse scenario carries more weight in situations at the upper end of the cycle than those at the lower end of the cycle, in anticipation of a potential downturn in the economy.
  • the weight of the favourable scenario is at least 10% and at most 40%.
  • the total weight of adverse scenarios fluctuates symmetrically with the favourable also within a range of 10% to 40%; with a severe component representing 20% of this weight with a minimum weight of 5%.

When appropriate, the ECL measurement can take into account asset sale scenarios.

Macroeconomic scenarios

The four macroeconomic scenarios are defined over a three-year projection horizon. They correspond to:

  • a baseline scenario, which describes the most likely path of the economy over the projection horizon. This scenario is updated on a quarterly basis and is prepared by the Group Economic Research department in collaboration with various experts within the Group. Projections are designed for each key market of the Group (France, Italy, Belgium, the United States, and the eurozone) using key macroeconomic variables (Gross Domestic Product - GDP - and its components, unemployment rate, consumer prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, oil prices, real estate prices, etc.) which are key drivers for modeling risk parameters used in the stress test process;
  • an adverse scenario, which describes the impact of the materialisation of some of the risks weighing on the baseline scenario, resulting in a much less favourable economic path than in the baseline scenario. The GDP shock is applied with varying magnitudes, but simultaneously, to the economies under consideration. Generally, these assumptions are broadly consistent with those proposed by the regulators. The calibration of shocks on other variables (e.g. unemployment, consumer prices, interest rates, etc.) is based on models and expert judgment;
  • a severely adverse scenario, which is an aggravated version of the adverse scenario;

  • a favourable scenario, which reflects the impact of the materialisation of some of the upside risks for the economy, resulting in a more favourable economic path. The favourable shock on GDP is deducted from the structural adverse shock on GDP in such a way that the probabilities of the two shocks are equal on average over the cycle. Other variables (e.g. unemployment, inflation, interest rates, etc.) are defined in the same way as in the adverse scenario.

The link between the macroeconomic scenarios and the measurement of the ECL is complemented by an approach allowing to take into account anticipation aspects not captured by the models in the generic approach. This is particularly the case when unprecedented events in the historical chronicle taken into account to build the models occur or are anticipated, or when the nature or amplitude of change in macroeconomic parameter calls into question past correlations. Thus, the situation of high inflation and the level of interest rates previously recorded were not observed in the reference history. In this context, the Group has developed an approach to take into account the future economic outlook when assessing the financial strength of counterparties. This approach involves projecting the impact of higher interest rates on customers' financial ratios, notably considering their level of indebtedness. Credit ratings and associated probabilities of default are revalued based on these simulated financial ratios. This approach is also used to anticipate the effect of lower prices of commercial properties.

Baseline scenario

Global activity expanded at a satisfactory pace in early 2024. In the eurozone, activity rebounded after a sluggish end to 2023, with a broad-based improvement across the region. On the downside, difficulties in the real estate market remained acute in several economies. In the United States, despite a slight deceleration, the economy proved resilient in early 2024.

Looking ahead, the gradual moderation in inflation is expected to allow stronger consumer spending, further supporting growth. In 2024, activity is expected to grow on average by 0.9% in the eurozone and by 2.2% in the United States (compared with +0.8% and +0.7% respectively as of 31 December 2023).

After receding rapidly last year, inflation has moderated more slowly recently in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in the eurozone. Services inflation has proved resilient, partly reflecting tight labour market conditions. The declining trend in inflation is expected to continue over the rest of the year, albeit at a gradual pace.

In this context, main central banks are assumed to start or pursue their monetary easing cycle in 2024 and 2025. The European Central Bank started its rate cut cycle in June, while the US Federal Reserve is expected to follow suit by the end of the year. Overall, due to the relative persistence of inflation, the pace of monetary easing is now expected to be more gradual than was anticipated a few months ago.

Over the 2025-2027 period, the baseline scenario assumes quite stable paths of growth (close to 1.5% in the eurozone), inflation (close to 2%, i.e., central bank targets), and interest rates in Europe and the United States.

The graph below presents a comparison of eurozone GDP projections used in the baseline scenario for the calculation of ECLs on 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023.

Adverse and severely adverse scenarios

The adverse and severely adverse scenarios are based on the assumption that certain downside risks will materialise, resulting in much less favourable economic paths than in the baseline scenario.

The following main risks are identified:

  • Geopolitical risks. Geopolitical tensions can weigh on the global economy through various channels, such as shocks on commodity prices, financial markets, business confidence, supply chains and trade. These developments are likely to lead simultaneously to higher inflation and a slowdown in activity, further complicating the task of central banks.
  • Trade and globalisation. International tensions have increased in recent years, in particular between China and the United States, leading to some fragmentation of the global economy. These tensions are unlikely to dissipate suddenly and could lead to higher tariff and non-tariff trade barriers between main economic areas (e.g. United States, China, and the European Union).
  • Public finances. Numerous governments face a combination of elevated debt-to-GDP ratios, higher borrowing costs and moderate growth in 2024. This constitutes a challenging environment for public finances at a time when governments have to face major structural challenges (climate action, defence capabilities, age-related outlays). In some countries, these combined developments could lead in some countries to market tensions (widening sovereign bond spreads) and affect activity through several channels (higher interest rates, higher taxes).
  • Climate policy issues. While the effects of climate change have convinced many governments of the need to implement some measures and create incentives to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy, the implementation of such measures is often politically complicated and can lead to waves of protest and uncertainties detrimental to activity.

The adverse and severe scenarios assume the materialisation of these identified latent risks from the third quarter of 2024. While downside risks are shared by these scenarios, the impacts are assumed to be markedly higher in the severely adverse scenario, due to both more pronounced direct shocks notably higher commodity prices, and the development of a negative spiral between key driving factors (activity, public debt, bond yields, equity markets).

Among the considered countries, GDP levels in the adverse scenario stand between 7.9% and 11% lower than in the baseline scenario at the end of the shock period. In particular, this deviation reaches 9% on average in both the eurozone and the United States.

In the severe scenario, GDP levels stand between 11.6% and 16.1% lower than in the baseline scenario at the end of the shock period. This deviation reaches 13.2% in both the eurozone and the United States.

Scenario weighting and cost of risk sensitivity

At 30 June 2024, the weight of the favourable scenario considered by the Group was 29%, and 16% for the adverse scenario and 5% for the severe scenario. At 31 December 2023, the weight of the favourable scenario was 33%, 12% for the adverse scenario and 5% for the severe scenario.

The sensitivity of the amount of expected credit losses for all financial assets at amortised cost or at fair value through equity and credit commitments is assessed by comparing the estimated expected credit losses resulting from the weighting of the above scenarios with that resulting from each of the two main scenarios:

  • an increase in ECL of 21%, or EUR 950 million according to the adverse scenario (23% at 31 December 2023);
  • a decrease in ECL of 13%, or EUR 600 million according to the favourable scenario (12% at 31 December 2023).

Post-model adjustments

Post-model adjustments are made when system limitations are identified in a particular context, for instance, in the case of insufficient statistical data to reflect the specific situation in the models. Post-model adjustments are also considered to take into account, where applicable, the consequences of climatic events on expected credit losses.

Notably, additional adjustments were made in 2022 to take into account the effects of inflation and interest rate hikes when this effect is not directly estimated by the models. For example, within the consumer credit specialist business, adjustments were considered for the categories of customers most sensitive to the gradual decline in the level of their net income. Given the evolution of the macroeconomic context in 2023 and 2024, these adjustments have been reassessed and are gradually reversed or used.

All of these adjustments represent 4.3% of the total amount of expected credit losses at 30 June 2024, compared with 4.5% at 31 December 2023.

2.h OTHER NET LOSSES FOR RISK ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In 2023, the Group modified its accounting policy relating to the risk of loss of cash flows on financial instruments granted that are not linked to the counterparty's default, such as legal risks calling into question the validity or enforceability of such contracts.

The effect on expected cash flows due to these risks is now considered as a change in the contract's cash flows, in accordance with IFRS 9 B5.4.6, and is recorded as a decrease in the gross value of the asset. It was previously recognised separately in accordance with IAS 37 in "Provisions for risks and charges" (see note 4.k). Expected losses on derecognised financial instruments, as is the case when loans have been repaid, continue to be recognised in accordance with IAS 37.

The corresponding expected and realised cash flow losses are now presented under "Other net losses for risk on financial instruments".

In the first half of 2024, the expense thus recognised related to mortgage loans in Poland amounting to EUR 49 million (compared with EUR 130 million at 30 June 2023) and the losses related to the act on assistance to borrowers in Poland amounting to EUR 47 million.

2.i NET GAIN ON NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Net gain on non-current assets 22 124

According to IAS 29 in connection with the hyperinflation situation of the economy in Türkiye, the line "Results from net monetary positions" mainly includes the effect of the evolution of the consumer price index in Türkiye on the valuation of non-monetary assets and liabilities (- EUR 293 million) and on income from the Turkish government bonds portfolio indexed to inflation and held by Turk Ekonomi Bankasi AS (+ EUR 152 million, reclassified from interest margin) during the first half of 2024 (respectively - EUR 208 million and + EUR 129 million during the first half of 2023).

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group is composed of three operating divisions:

  • Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) which covers Global Banking, Global Markets and Securities Services;
  • Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS) which covers Commercial & Personal banking in the eurozone, with Commercial & Personal Banking in France (CPBF), Commercial & Personal Banking in Italy (BNL bc), Commercial & Personal Banking in Belgium (CPBB) and Commercial & Personal Banking in Luxembourg (CPBL); Commercial & Personal banking outside the eurozone, which is organised around Europe-Mediterranean, to cover Central and Eastern Europe and Türkiye. Lastly, it also covers specialised businesses, (Arval, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, BNP Paribas Personal Finance, BNP Paribas Personal Investors and New Digital Businesses like Nickel, Floa, Lyf);
  • Investment & Protection Services (IPS) which covers Insurance (BNP Paribas Cardif), Wealth and Asset Management (BNP Paribas Asset Management, BNP Paribas Wealth Management and BNP Paribas Real Estate), Management of the BNP Paribas Group's portfolio of unlisted and listed industrial and commercial investments (BNP Paribas Principal Investments).

Other Activities mainly include activities related to the Group's central treasury function, some costs related to crossbusiness projects, the residential mortgage lending business of Personal Finance (a significant part of which is managed in run-off), and certain investments.

They also include non-recurring items resulting from applying the rules on business combinations. In order to provide consistent and relevant economic information for each core business, the impact of amortising fair value adjustments recognised in the net equity of entities acquired and restructuring costs incurred in respect to the integration of entities, have been allocated to the "Other Activities" segment. The same applies to transformation, adaptation and IT reinforcement costs relating to the Group's savings programmes.

In addition, Other Activities carry the impact, related to the application of IFRS 17, of the reclassification as a deduction from revenues of the operating expenses "attributable to insurance contracts" of the Group's business lines (other than Insurance) that distribute insurance contracts (i.e., internal distributors), in order not to disrupt the readability of their financial performance. This is also the case for the impact of the volatility on the financial result generated by the recognition at fair value through profit or loss of assets backing insurance entities' equity or nonparticipating contracts. In the event of divestment connected to this portfolio, the realised gains or losses are allocated to the revenues of the Insurance business line.

Inter-segment transactions are conducted at arm's length. The segment information presented comprises agreed inter-segment transfer prices.

The capital allocation is carried out on the basis of risk exposure, taking into account various conventions relating primarily to the capital requirement of the business as derived from the risk-weighted asset calculations required under capital adequacy rules. Normalised equity income by segment is determined by attributing to each segment the income of its allocated equity. The capital allocation to segments is based on a minimum of 11 % of weighted assets. The breakdown of balance sheet by core business follows the same rules as the breakdown of the profit or loss by core business.

In order to be comparable with the presentation format used since 1 January 2024, the first half 2023 of this note has been restated for the following effects as if they had occurred on 1 January 2023.

  • Taking into account the end of the ramp-up of the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) as from 1 January 2024, and the assumption of a similar contribution to local banking taxes at an estimated amount around EUR 200 million per year from 2024.

    • o Regarding the 2023 net income, the contribution to the SRF (EUR 1,002 million) was entirely allocated to the divisions and business lines. The restatement entails reallocating approximately EUR 800 million not intended to continue from 2024 to the "Other Activities" segment, and allocating only the EUR 200 million mentioned above to the divisions and business lines.
  • Since the fourth quarter of 2023, "Other net charges for risk on financial instruments" is an accounting line item separate from "cost of risk". It records expenses relating to risks which call into question the validity or enforceability of financial instruments granted. The restatement entails reclassifications of EUR 130 million of the profit and loss account from Europe-Mediterranean business line to Other Activities.

4.a FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss consist of held-for-trading transactions - including derivatives -, of certain assets and liabilities designated by the Group as at fair value through profit or loss at the time of issuance and of non-trading instruments whose characteristics prevent their accounting at amortised cost or at fair value through equity.

Financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss mainly consist of issued debt securities, originated and structured on behalf of customers, where the risk exposure is managed in combination with the hedging strategy. These types of issued debt securities contain significant embedded derivatives, which changes in value may be compensated by changes in the value of economic hedging derivatives.

The redemption value of debt issued and designated as at fair value through profit or loss at 30 June 2024 was EUR 98,161 million (EUR 89,910 million at 31 December 2023).

Other financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

Other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets not held for trading:

  • debt instruments that do not meet the criteria defined by IFRS 9 to be classified as financial instruments at "fair value through equity" or at "amortised cost":
    • their business model is not to "collect contractual cash flows" nor "collect contractual cash flows and sell the instruments"; and/or
    • their cash flows are not solely repayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
  • equity instruments that the Group did not choose to classify as at "fair value through equity".

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The majority of derivative financial instruments held for trading are related to transactions initiated for trading purposes. They may result from market-making or arbitrage activities. BNP Paribas actively trades in derivatives. Transactions include trades in "ordinary" instruments such as credit default swaps, and structured transactions with complex risk profiles tailored to meet the needs of its customers. The net position is in all cases subject to limits.

Some derivative instruments are also contracted to hedge financial assets or financial liabilities for which the Group has not documented a hedging relationship, or which do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS.

Debt securities at fair value through equity include EUR 107 million classified as stage 3 at 30 June 2024 (EUR 109 million at 31 December 2023). For these securities, the credit impairment recognised in the profit and loss account has been charged to the negative changes in value recognised in equity amounting to EUR 102 million at 30 June 2024 (unchanged compared with 31 December 2023).

The option to recognise certain equity instruments at fair value through equity was retained in particular for shares held through strategic partnerships and shares that the Group is required to hold in order to carry out certain activities.

During the first half of 2024, the Group sold one of these investments and a net gain of + EUR 164 million was transferred to "retained earnings" (- EUR 2 million for the first half of 2023).

4.c MEASUREMENT OF THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

VALUATION PROCESS

BNP Paribas has retained the fundamental principle that it should have a unique and integrated processing chain for producing and controlling the valuations of financial instruments that are used for the purpose of daily risk management and financial reporting. All these processes are based on a common economic valuation which is a core component of business decisions and risk management strategies.

Economic value is composed of mid-market value, to which valuation adjustments are made.

Mid-market value is derived from external data or valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable and market-based data. Mid-market value is a theoretical additive value which does not take account of i) the direction of the transaction or its impact on the existing risks in the portfolio, ii) the nature of the counterparties, and iii) the aversion of a market participant to particular risks inherent in the instrument, the market in which it is traded, or the risk management strategy.

Valuation adjustments take into account valuation uncertainty and include market and credit risk premiums to reflect costs that could be incurred in case of an exit transaction in the principal market.

Fair value generally equals the economic value, subject to limited adjustments, such as own credit adjustments, which are specifically required by IFRS standards.

The main valuation adjustments are presented in the section below.

VALUATION ADJUSTMENTS

Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA).

Valuation adjustments retained by BNP Paribas for determining fair values are as follows:

Bid/offer adjustments: the bid/offer range reflects the additional exit cost for a price taker and symmetrically the compensation sought by dealers to bear the risk of holding the position or closing it out by accepting another dealer's price.

BNP Paribas assumes that the best estimate of an exit price is the bid or offer price, unless there is evidence that another point in the bid/offer range would provide a more representative exit price.

Input uncertainty adjustments: when the observation of prices or data inputs required by valuation techniques is difficult or irregular, an uncertainty exists on the exit price. There are several ways to gauge the degree of uncertainty on the exit price such as measuring the dispersion of the available price indications or estimating the possible ranges of the inputs to a valuation technique.

Model uncertainty adjustments: these relate to situations where valuation uncertainty is due to the valuation technique used, even though observable inputs might be available. This situation arises when the risks inherent in the instruments are different from those available in the observable data, and therefore the valuation technique involves assumptions that cannot be easily corroborated.

Future Hedging Costs adjustments (FHC): this adjustment applies to positions that require dynamic hedging throughout their lifetime leading to additional bid/offer costs. Calculation methods capture these expected costs in particular based on the optimal hedging frequency.

Credit valuation adjustment (CVA): the CVA adjustment applies to valuations and market quotations whereby the credit worthiness of the counterparty is not reflected. It aims to account for the possibility that the counterparty may default and that BNP Paribas may not receive the full fair value of the transactions.

In determining the cost of exiting or transferring counterparty risk exposures, the relevant market is deemed to be an inter-dealer market. However, the determination of CVA remains judgemental due to i) the possible absence or lack of price discovery in the inter-dealer market, ii) the influence of the regulatory landscape relating to counterparty risk on the market participants' pricing behaviour and iii) the absence of a dominant business model for managing counterparty risk.

The CVA model is grounded on the same exposures as those used for regulatory purposes. The model attempts to estimate the cost of an optimal risk management strategy based on i) implicit incentives and constraints inherent in the regulations in force and their evolutions, ii) market perception of the probability of default, and iii) default parameters used for regulatory purposes.

Funding valuation adjustment (FVA): when valuation techniques are used for the purpose of deriving fair value, funding assumptions related to the future expected cash flows are an integral part of the mid-market valuation, notably through the use of appropriate discount rates. These assumptions reflect what the Bank anticipates as being the effective funding conditions of the instrument that a market participant would consider. This notably takes into account the existence and terms of any collateral agreement. In particular, for non- or imperfectly collateralised derivative instruments, they include an explicit adjustment to the interbank interest rate.

Own-credit valuation adjustment for debts (OCA) and for derivatives (debit valuation adjustment - DVA): OCA and DVA are adjustments reflecting the effect of credit worthiness of BNP Paribas, on respectively the value of debt securities designated as at fair value through profit or loss and derivatives. Both adjustments are based on the expected future liability profiles of such instruments. The own credit worthiness is inferred from the market-based observation of the relevant bond issuance levels. The DVA adjustment is determined after taking into account the Thus, the carrying value of debt securities designated as at fair value though profit or loss is increased by EUR 372 million at 30 June 2024, compared with a decrease in value of EUR 198 million at 31 December 2023, i.e. a + EUR 570 million variation over the first half recognised directly in equity that will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

INSTRUMENT CLASSES AND CLASSIFICATION WITHIN THE FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY FOR ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

As explained in the summary of significant accounting policies (note 1.f.10), financial instruments measured at fair value are categorised into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels.

Transfers between levels may occur when an instrument fulfils the criteria defined, which are generally market and product dependent. The main factors influencing transfers are changes in the observation capabilities, passage of time, and events during the transaction lifetime. The timing of recognising transfers is determined at the beginning of the reporting period.

During the first half of 2024, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 were not significant.

DESCRIPTION OF MAIN INSTRUMENTS IN EACH LEVEL

The following section provides a description of the instruments in each level in the hierarchy. It describes notably instruments classified in Level 3 and the associated valuation methodologies. For main trading book instruments and derivatives classified in Level 3, further quantitative information is provided about the inputs used to derive fair value.

Level 1

This level encompasses all derivatives and securities that are quoted continuously in active markets.

Level 1 includes notably equity securities and liquid bonds, shortselling of these instruments, derivative instruments traded on organised markets (futures, options, etc.). It includes shares of funds and UCITS, for which the net asset value is calculated on a daily basis.

Level 2

The Level 2 stock of securities is composed of securities which are less liquid than the Level 1 bonds. They are predominantly corporate debt securities, government bonds, mortgage backed securities, fund shares and shortterm securities such as certificates of deposit. They are classified in Level 2 notably when external prices for the same security can be regularly observed from a reasonable number of market makers that are active in this security, but these prices do not represent directly tradable prices. This comprises amongst other, consensus pricing services with a reasonable number of contributors that are active market makers as well as indicative runs from active brokers and/or dealers. Other sources, such as primary issuance market, may also be used where relevant.

Repurchase agreements are classified predominantly in Level 2. The classification is primarily based on the observability and liquidity of the repo market, depending on the underlying collateral and the maturity of the repo transaction.

Debts issued designated as at fair value through profit or loss, are classified in the same level as the one that would apply to the embedded derivative taken individually. The issuance spread is considered observable.

Derivatives classified in Level 2 comprise mainly the following instruments:

  • vanilla instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, floors and swaptions, credit default swaps, equity/foreign exchange (FX)/commodities forwards and options;
  • structured derivatives for which model uncertainty is not significant such as exotic FX options, mono- and multiunderlying equity/funds derivatives, single curve exotic interest rate derivatives and derivatives based on structured rates.

The above derivatives are classified in Level 2 when there is a documented stream of evidence supporting one of the following:

  • fair value is predominantly derived from prices or quotations of other Level 1 and Level 2 instruments, through standard market interpolation or stripping techniques whose results are regularly corroborated by real transactions;
  • fair value is derived from other standard techniques such as replication or discounted cash flows that are calibrated to observable prices, that bear limited model risk and enable an effective offset of the risks of the instrument through trading Level 1 or Level 2 instruments;
  • fair value is derived from more sophisticated or proprietary valuation techniques but is directly evidenced through regular back-testing using external market-based data.

Determining whether an over-the-counter (OTC) derivative is eligible for Level 2 classification involves judgement. Consideration is given to the origin, transparency and reliability of external data used, and the amount of uncertainty associated with the use of models. It follows that the Level 2 classification criteria involve multiple analysis axis within an "observability zone" whose limits are determined by i) a predetermined list of product categories and ii) the underlying and maturity bands. These criteria are regularly reviewed and updated, together with the applicable valuation adjustments, so that the classification by level remains consistent with the valuation adjustment policy.

Level 3 securities of the trading book mainly comprise units of funds and unlisted equity shares measured at fair value through profit or loss or through equity.

Unlisted private equities are systematically classified as Level 3, with the exception of UCITS with a daily net asset value, which are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Shares and other unlisted variable income securities in Level 3 are valued using one of the following methods: a share of revalued net book value, multiples of comparable companies, future cash flows method, multi-criteria approach.

Repurchase agreements, mainly long-term or structured repurchase agreements on corporate bonds and ABS: the valuation of these transactions requires proprietary methodologies given the bespoke nature of the transactions and the lack of activity and price discovery in the long-term repo market. The curves used in the valuation are corroborated using available data such as recent long-term repo trade data and price enquiry data. Valuation adjustments applicable to these exposures are commensurate with the degree of uncertainty inherent in the modelling choices and amount of data available.

Debts issued designated as at fair value through profit or loss, are classified in the same level as the one that would apply to the embedded derivative taken individually. The issuance spread is considered observable.

Derivatives

Vanilla derivatives are classified in Level 3 when the exposure is beyond the observation zone for rate curves or volatility surfaces, or relates to less liquid markets such as tranches on old credit index series or emerging markets interest rates markets. The main instruments are:

  • Interest rate derivatives: exposures mainly comprise swap products in less liquid currencies. Classification is driven by the lower liquidity of some maturities, while observation capabilities through consensus may be available. The valuation technique is standard, and uses external market information and extrapolation techniques.
  • Credit derivatives (CDS): exposures mainly comprise CDSs beyond the maximum observable maturity and, to a much lesser extent, CDSs on illiquid or distressed names and CDSs on loan indices. Classification is driven by the lack of liquidity while observation capabilities may be available notably through consensus. Level 3 exposures also comprise CDS and Total Return Swaps (TRS) positions on securitised assets. These are priced along the same modelling techniques as the underlying bonds, taking into consideration the funding basis and specific risk premium.
  • Equity derivatives: exposures essentially comprise long dated forward or volatility products or exposures where there is a limited market for optional products. The marking of the forward curves and volatility surfaces beyond the maximum observable maturity relies on extrapolation techniques. However, when there is no market for model input, volatility or forward is generally determined on the basis of proxy or historical analysis. Similarly, long-term transactions on equity baskets are also classified in Level 3, based on the absence of equity correlation observability on long maturities.

These vanilla derivatives are subject to valuation adjustments linked to uncertainty on liquidity, specialised by nature of underlying and liquidity bands.

Structured derivatives classified in Level 3 predominantly comprise hybrid products (FX/Interest Rates hybrids, Equity hybrids), credit correlation products, prepayment-sensitive products, some stock basket optional products and some interest rate optional instruments. The main exposures are described below, with insight into the related valuation techniques and on the source of uncertainty:

  • Structured interest rate options are classified in Level 3 when they involve currencies where there is not sufficient observation or when they include a quanto feature where the pay-off is measured with a forex forward fixed rate (except for the main currencies). Long term structured derivatives are also classified in Level 3.
  • Hybrid FX/Interest rate products essentially comprise a specific product family known as Power Reverse Dual Currency (PRDC) when there is material valuation uncertainty. When valuation of PRDCs requires sophisticated modelling of joint behaviour of FX and interest rate, and is notably sensitive to the unobservable FX/ interest rate correlations, such products are classified as Level 3. PRDCs valuations are corroborated with recent trade data and consensus data.
  • Securitisation swaps mainly comprise fixed-rate swaps, cross-currency or basis swaps whose notional is indexed to the prepayment behaviour of some underlying portfolio. The estimation of the maturity profile of securitisation swaps is corroborated by statistical estimates using external historical data.
  • Forward volatility options are generally products whose pay-off is indexed to the future variability of a rate index such as volatility swaps. These products involve material model risk as it is difficult to infer forward volatility information from market-traded instruments. The valuation adjustment framework is calibrated to the uncertainty inherent in the product, and to the range of uncertainty from the existing external consensus data.
  • Inflation derivatives classified in Level 3 mainly comprise swap products on inflation indices that are not associated with a liquid indexed bond market, optional products on inflation indices (such as caps and floors) and other forms of inflation indices involving optionality on the inflation indices or on the inflation annual rate. Valuation techniques used for inflation derivatives are predominantly standard market models. Proxy techniques are used for a few limited exposures. Although the valuations are corroborated through monthly consensus data, these products are classified as Level 3 due to their lack of liquidity and some uncertainties inherent in the calibration.
  • The valuation of bespoke CDO requires correlation of default events when there is material valuation uncertainty. This information is inferred from the active index tranche market through a proprietary projection technique and involves proprietary extrapolation and interpolation techniques. Multi-geography CDO further require an additional correlation assumption. Finally, the bespoke CDO model also involves proprietary assumptions and parameters related to the dynamic of the recovery factor. CDO modelling is calibrated on the observable index tranche markets, and is regularly back-tested against consensus data on standardised pools. The uncertainty arises from the model risk associated with the projection and geography mixing technique, and the uncertainty of associated parameters, together with the recovery modelling.
  • N to Default baskets are other forms of credit correlation products, modelled through standard copula techniques. The main inputs required are the pair-wise correlations between the basket components which can be observed in the consensus and the transactions. Linear baskets are considered observable.
  • Equity and equity-hybrid correlation products are instruments whose pay-off is dependent on the joint behaviour of a basket of equities/indices leading to a sensitivity of the fair value measurement to the correlation amongst the basket components. Hybrid versions of these instruments involve baskets that mix equity and nonequity underlyings such as commodity indices, or foreign exchange rates. Only a subset of the Equity/index correlation matrix is regularly observable and traded, while most cross-asset correlations are not active. Therefore, classification in Level 3 depends on the composition of the basket, the maturity, and the hybrid nature of the product. The correlation input is derived from a proprietary model combining historical estimators, and other adjustment factors, that are corroborated by reference to recent trades or external data. The correlation matrix is essentially available from consensus services, and when a correlation between two underlying instruments is not available, it might be obtained from extrapolation or proxy techniques.

These structured derivatives are subject to specific valuation adjustments to cover uncertainties linked to liquidity, parameters and model risk.

Valuation adjustments (CVA, DVA and FVA)

The valuation adjustment for counterparty credit risk (CVA), own-credit risk for derivatives (DVA) and the explicit funding valuation adjustment (FVA) are deemed to be unobservable components of the valuation framework and therefore classified in Level 3. This does not impact, in general cases, the classification of individual transactions into the fair value hierarchy. However, a specific process allows to identify individual deals for which the marginal contribution of these adjustments and related uncertainty is significant and justifies classifying these transactions in Level 3.

The table below provides the range of values of main unobservable inputs for the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments. The ranges displayed correspond to a variety of different underlying instruments and are meaningful only in the context of the valuation technique implemented by BNP Paribas. The weighted averages, where relevant and available, are based on fair values, nominal amounts or sensitivities.

The main unobservable parameters used for the valuation of debt issued in Level 3 are equivalent to those of their economic hedge derivative. Information on those derivatives, displayed in the following table, is also applicable to these debts.

(1) For the assets, includes redemptions of principal, interest payments as well as cash inflows and outflows relating to derivatives. For the liabilities, includes principal redemptions, interest payments as well as cash inflows and outflows relating to derivatives the fair value of which is negative.

Transfers out of Level 3 of derivatives include mainly the update of the observability tenor of certain yield curves, and of market parameters related to repurchase agreements and credit transactions but also the effect of derivatives becoming only or mainly sensitive to observable inputs due to the shortening of their lifetime.

Transfers into Level 3 of instruments at fair value reflect the effect of the regular update of the observability zones.

Transfers have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the reporting period.

The Level 3 financial instruments may be hedged by other Level 1 and Level 2 instruments, the gains and losses of which are not shown in this table. Consequently, the gains and losses shown in this table are not representative of the gains and losses arising from management of the net risk on all these instruments.

SENSITIVITY OF FAIR VALUE TO REASONABLY POSSIBLE CHANGES IN LEVEL 3 ASSUMPTIONS

The following table summarises those financial assets and financial liabilities classified as Level 3 for which alternative assumptions in one or more of the unobservable inputs would change fair value significantly.

The amounts disclosed are intended to illustrate the range of possible uncertainty inherent to the judgement applied when estimating Level 3 parameters, or when selecting valuation techniques. These amounts reflect valuation uncertainties that prevail at the measurement date, and even though such uncertainties predominantly derive from the portfolio sensitivities that prevailed at that measurement date, they are not predictive or indicative of future movements in fair value, nor do they represent the effect of market stress on the portfolio value.

In estimating sensitivities, BNP Paribas either remeasured the financial instruments using reasonably possible inputs, or applied assumptions based on the valuation adjustment policy.

For the sake of simplicity, the sensitivity on cash instruments that are not relating to securitised instruments was based on a uniform 1% shift in the price. More specific shifts were however calibrated for each class of the Level 3 securitised exposures, based on the possible ranges of the unobservable inputs.

For derivative exposures, the sensitivity measurement is based on the credit valuation adjustment (CVA), the explicit funding valuation adjustment (FVA) and the parameter and model uncertainty adjustments related to Level 3.

Regarding the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) and the explicit funding valuation adjustment (FVA), the uncertainty was calibrated based on prudent valuation adjustments described in the technical standard "Prudent Valuation" published by the European Banking Authority. For other valuation adjustments, two scenarios were considered: a favourable scenario where all or portion of the valuation adjustment is not considered by market participants, and an unfavourable scenario where market participants would require twice the amount of valuation adjustments considered by BNP Paribas for entering into a transaction.

DEFERRED MARGIN ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED USING TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED INTERNALLY AND BASED ON INPUTS PARTLY UNOBSERVABLE IN ACTIVE MARKETS

Deferred margin on financial instruments ("Day One Profit") primarily concerns the scope of financial instruments eligible for Level 3 and to a lesser extent some financial instruments eligible for Level 2 where valuation adjustments for uncertainties regarding parameters or models are not negligible compared with the initial margin.

The Day One Profit is calculated after setting aside valuation adjustments for uncertainties as described previously and released to profit or loss over the expected period for which the inputs will be unobservable. The unamortised amount is included under "Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss" as a reduction in the fair value of the relevant transactions.

(1) Conditions precedent for coupon payment:

A Coupon payments are halted should the issuer have insufficient capital or the underwriters become insolvent or when the dividend declared for Ageas shares falls below a certain threshold.

(2) After agreement from the banking supervisory authority and at the issuer's initiative, redeemable subordinated debt issues may contain a call provision authorising the Group to redeem the securities prior to maturity by repurchasing them in the stock market, via public tender offers, or in the case of private placements over the counter. Debt issued by BNP Paribas SA or foreign subsidiaries of the Group via placements in the international markets may be subject to early redemption of the capital and early payment of interest due at maturity at the issuer's discretion on or after a date stipulated in the issue particulars (call option), or in the event that changes in the applicable tax rules oblige the BNP Paribas Group issuer to compensate debt-holders for the consequences of such changes. Redemption may be subject to a notice period of between 15 and 60 days, and is in all cases subject to approval by the banking supervisory authorities.

(3) Convertible And Subordinated Hybrid Equity-linked Securities (CASHES) issued by BNP Paribas Fortis (previously Fortis Banque) in December 2007.

The CASHES are perpetual securities but may be exchanged for Ageas (previously Fortis SA/NV) shares at the holder's sole discretion at a price of EUR 239.40. However, as of 19 December 2014, the CASHES will be automatically exchanged into Ageas shares if their price is equal to or higher than EUR 359.10 for twenty consecutive trading days. The principal amount will never be redeemed in cash. The rights of the CASHES holders are limited to the Ageas shares held by BNP Paribas Fortis and pledged to them.

Ageas and BNP Paribas Fortis have entered into a Relative Performance Note (RPN) contract, the value of which varies contractually so as to offset the impact on BNP Paribas Fortis of the relative difference between changes in the value of the CASHES and changes in the value of the Ageas shares.

Since 1 January 2022, the liability is no longer eligible to prudential own funds.

(1) Conditions precedent for coupon payment:

  • B Payment of the interest is mandatory, unless the Board of directors decides to postpone these payments after the Shareholders' General Meeting has officially noted that there is no income available for distribution, where this occurs within the 12-month period preceding the due date for payment of the interest. Interest payments are cumulative and are payable in full once dividend payments resume.
  • C Payment of the interest is mandatory, unless the Board of directors decides to postpone these payments after the Shareholders' General Meeting has validated the decision not to pay out a dividend, where this occurs within the 12-month period preceding the due date for payment of the interest. Interest payments are cumulative and are payable in full once dividend payments resume. The bank has the option of resuming payment of interest arrears, even where no dividend is paid out.
  • D Payment of the interest is mandatory, except for cases of regulatory deficiency, in agreement with the regulator, or of suspension of payments. Interest payments are cumulative and are payable in full, once coupon payments resume, or, if these events occur before, when the issuance is redeemed or when the issuer is liquidated.
  • E Payment of the interest is at full discretion and could be cancelled in whole or in part if the relevant regulator notifies based on its assessment of the financial and solvency situation of the issuer. Interest Amounts on the Notes will be non-cumulative, once coupon payments resume.

(2) See reference relating to "Debt securities at fair value through profit or loss".

(3) The participating notes issued by BNP Paribas SA may be repurchased as provided for in the law of 3 January 1983. The number of notes in the market is 1,434,092.

(4) Depending on net income subject to a minimum of 85% of the TMO rate and a maximum of 130% of the TMO rate.

(5) As from 31 December 2023, these securities are no longer eligible to prudential own funds.

(6) The instruments issued by BNP Paribas SA in August 2023 and February 2024 are contingent convertible securities classified as financial liabilities in accounting and eligible to Additional Tier 1 capital (see note 1.f.8). The distribution from these instruments is recognised directly as a reduction from equity.

(7) This instrument have been fully redeemed on 28 March 2024.

In 2023, the Group modified its accounting policy relating to the risk of loss of cash flows on financial instruments granted that are not linked to the counterparty's default, such as legal risks calling into question the validity or enforceability of such contracts (see note 2.h).

The effect on expected cash flows due to these risks is now considered as a change in the contract's cash flows, in accordance with IFRS 9 B5.4.6, and is recorded as a decrease in the gross value of the asset. It was previously recognised separately in accordance with IAS 37 in "Provisions for risks and charges". Expected losses on derecognised financial instruments, as is the case when loans have been repaid, continue to be recognised in accordance with IAS 37.

As a result, EUR 313 million previously presented in "Provisions for litigations" were deducted from "Financial assets at amortised cost".

As of 31 December 2023, reserves related to the uncertainty on the residual value of Arval's vehicles previously recognised as a decrease in assets were included in "Other provisions for contingencies and charges".

4.l OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The following tables present the amounts of financial assets and liabilities before and after offsetting. This information, required by IFRS 7, aims to enable the comparability with the accounting treatment applicable in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), which are less restrictive than IAS 32 as regards offsetting.

"Amounts set off on the balance sheet" have been determined according to IAS 32. Thus, a financial asset and a financial liability are offset and the net amount presented on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Amounts set off derive mainly from repurchase agreements and derivative instruments traded with clearing houses.

The "impacts of master netting agreements and similar agreements" are relative to outstanding amounts of transactions within an enforceable agreement, which do not meet the offsetting criteria defined by IAS 32. This is the case of transactions for which offsetting can only be performed in case of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of one of the contracting parties.

"Financial instruments given or received as collateral" include guarantee deposits and securities collateral recognised at fair value. These guarantees can only be exercised in case of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of one of the contracting parties.

Regarding master netting agreements, the guarantee deposits received or given in compensation for the positive or negative fair values of financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet in accrued income or expenses and other assets or liabilities.

5. NOTES RELATED TO INSURANCE ACTIVITIES

5.a NET INCOME FROM INSURANCE ACTIVITIES

The various income and expenses of insurance contracts are broken down in the "Net income from insurance activities" as follows:

  • "Insurance revenue" includes revenue from insurance activities related to groups of insurance contracts issued. Insurance revenue reflects the provision of services relating to a group of contracts in an amount corresponding to the consideration to which the insurer expects to be entitled in exchange for those services;
  • "Insurance service expenses": actual charges attributable to insurance contracts incurred over the period, changes related to past and current service, amortisation of acquisition costs, and the loss component for onerous contracts;
  • "Investment return";
  • "Net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts" includes the change in the carrying amount of insurance contracts resulting from the undiscounting effect, and the financial risk including changes in financial assumptions.
In millions of euros First half 2024 First half 2023
Insurance revenue 4,779 4,379
Insurance service expenses (1) (3,683) (3,297)
Investment return 6,721 6,102
Net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts (6,607) (6,000)
Net income from insurance activities 1,210 1,184

(1) Insurance service expenses include attributable expenses which amounted to - EUR 2,066 million for the first half of 2024, compared with - EUR 1,822 million for the first half of 2023 (see note 5.b).

Insurance service result

"Insurance service result" includes:

  • "Insurance revenue": for contracts under the variable fee approach and under the building block approach, it represents the release of fulfilment insurance contracts cash flows over the period (excluding changes in investment component and the amount allocated to the loss component), change in the non-financial risk adjustment, amortisation of the contractual service margin for services provided over the period, the amount allocated for the amortisation of acquisition cost, and for the general measurement model specifically, experience adjustments related to premiums.

For contracts under the variable fee approach, the amortisation of the margin on contractual services is determined after adjusting the difference between the real-world expected financial return and the risk-neutral projection. The main financial assumptions underlying the calculation of the real-world expected financial return are those adopted by the Group over the horizon of the strategic plan. Beyond this horizon, the interest rate and return assumptions used are determined in line with those underlying the risk-neutral projection. The recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows corresponds to the portion of the premiums that relate to recovering these cash flows and the same amount is recognised as an expense on the line "Amortisation of insurance acquisition cash flows".

For contracts under the simplified measurement model, revenue represents expected cash-flows over the period.

  • "Insurance service expenses" includes incurred and past claims expenses of the period (excluding repayments of investment component) and other expenses that have been incurred related to insurance activities. Other insurance service expenses include the amortisation of insurance acquisition cash flows; changes that relate to past services and changes that relate to future services. This line also includes the operating expenses and depreciation and amortisation attributable to insurance contracts.

  • "Net expenses from reinsurance contracts held" are service expenses from reinsurance net of amounts recovered from reinsurers.

Financial result

"Financial Result" includes "Investment return" and "Net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts."

"Investment return" includes net income from financial instruments and from investment properties.

"Changes in fair value of underlying items of direct participation contracts" reflects the changes in value of underlying investments, for the amount which was not recognised directly in equity, and excluding the portion of these changes adjusting the contract service margin.

"Other insurance financial expenses" measured under the general model and under the simplified model represent the change in technical liabilities arising from financial risks (discount rates variations, forex rates, time value and financial variations expected in the contracts) for the amount which was not recognised directly in equity.

The option to recognise certain equity instruments at fair value through equity was retained in particular for shares held through strategic partnerships and shares that the Group is required to hold in order to carry out certain activities.

During the first half of 2024, the Group sold several of these investments and a net gain of EUR 6 million was transferred to "retained earnings" (EUR 22 million for the first half of 2023).

Investment properties fair value

The fair value of investment properties amounts to EUR 7.2 billion at 30 June 2024, compared with EUR 7.5 billion at 31 December 2023.

The entire non-listed real estate portfolio is appraised by one or more independent third parties. Experts have professional rules for carrying out these assessments.

For buildings that are directly held, experts use three main methods:

  • the method by which similar transactions are compared;
  • the rate of return method (rate applied to a rental basis);
  • the discounted cash flows method.

The final value retained by the expert may be a compromise between these three methods.

5.d ASSETS AND LIABILITIES RELATED TO INSURANCE CONTRACTS

The main contracts issued by the Group are (see note 1.g.2):

  • Insurance contracts covering risks related to persons or property measured under the general model (building block approach - BBA) or the premium allocation approach (PAA) for contracts eligible under this approach;
  • life or savings contracts measured under the variable fee approach (VFA);
  • reinsurance contracts issued measured under the general model or the premium allocation approach.

Reinsurance contracts held are also measured under the general model or the premium allocation approach.

Insurance and reinsurance contracts issued and reinsurance contracts held are presented on the assets or liabilities side of the balance sheet according to the overall position of the portfolios to which they belong. They are presented separately according to their valuation model: allocation method or other models (general model and variable fee approach). Reinsurance contracts held are isolated.

Discount rates and adjustment for non-financial risk

The table below presents the average discount rates used in the measurement of savings and protection contracts for the main horizons of the euro curve.

30 June 2024 31 December 2023
Savings Protection Savings Protection
1 year 4.25% 3.43% 4.00% 3.36%
5 years 3.58% 2.77% 2.96% 2.32%
10 years 3.54% 2.73% 3.03% 2.39%
15 years 3.57% 2.76% 3.10% 2.47%
20 years 3.47% 2.66% 3.04% 2.41%
40 years 3.27% 3.04%
  • For savings contracts measured under the variable fee approach, the discounting rate consists of the risk-free rate, extrapolated over the duration exceeding the period for which observable data are available and adjusted for a liquidity premium determined based on the underlying assets and reflecting the illiquidity of liabilities. The average liquidity premium all savings portfolios combined (in France, Italy and Luxembourg) is 0.79% at 30 June 2024 compared with 0.65% at 31 December 2023.

The risk adjustment is determined according to the cost of capital method, without taking into account the risk of massive lapses, including future payments, and considering only attributable expenses. It is measured within a confidence range of 60% and 70%. This one corresponds to a level of confidence of 65% at 30 June 2024 (unchanged compared with 31 December 2023).

  • For protection contracts measured under the general model and for liabilities for incurred claims under the simplified approach, the discounting rate consists of the risk-free rate adjusted to reflect the illiquidity of liabilities. For protection, the liquidity premium is currently valued at zero due to the short settlement period for claims on the main risks covered.

The level of confidence used in determining the adjustment for non-financial risks for the main countries is 70% (based on the quantile method).

The Group's annual contribution to the European Union's Single Resolution Fund may be partly in the form of an irrevocable payment commitment (IPC) guaranteed by a cash deposit of the same amount.

Where the resolution of an institution involves the fund, the fund may call all or part of the IPC received.

The irrevocable payment commitment is qualified as contingent liabilities. A provision is established if the probability of a commitment call by the fund exceeds 50%. Since this probability is estimated to be below this threshold, no provision was recognised by the Group at 30 June 2024.

These commitments amounted to EUR 1,263 million at 30 June 2024 (compared with EUR 1,261 million at 31 December 2023).

Cash provided as collateral is remunerated and recognised as a financial asset at amortised cost.

(1) Net of shares held in treasury by Group entities

BNP Paribas has the option of not paying interest due on these undated super subordinated notes. Unpaid interest is not carried forward.

For notes issued before 2015, the absence of coupon payment is conditional on the absence of dividend payment on BNP Paribas SA ordinary shares or on undated super subordinated note equivalents during the previous year. Interest due is payable once dividend payment on BNP Paribas SA ordinary shares resumes.

The contracts relating to these undated super subordinated notes contain a loss absorption clause. Under the terms of this clause, in the event of insufficient regulatory capital, the nominal value of the notes may be reduced in order to serve as a new basis for the calculation of the related coupons until the capital deficiency is made up and the nominal value of the notes is increased to its original amount.

The proceeds from these issues are recorded in equity under "Capital and retained earnings". In accordance with IAS 21, issues denominated in foreign currencies are recognised at their historical value based on their translation into euros at the issue date. Interest on the instruments is treated in the same way as dividends.

At 30 June 2024, the BNP Paribas Group held EUR 42 million of undated super subordinated notes which were deducted from shareholders' equity.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is determined by deducting the net income attributable to holders of preferred shares.

Diluted earnings per share correspond to the net income for the period attributable to holders of ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding as adjusted for the maximum effect of the conversion of dilutive equity instruments into ordinary shares. In-the-money stock subscription options are taken into account in the diluted earnings per share calculation, as are performance shares granted under the Global Share-based Incentive Plan. Conversion of these instruments would have no effect on the net income figure used in this calculation. All stock option and performance share plans are expired.

(1) The net profit used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share is the net profit attributable to equity shareholders, adjusted for the remuneration on the undated super subordinated notes issued by BNP Paribas SA (treated as preferred share equivalents), which for accounting purposes is handled as dividends, as well as the related foreign exchange gain or loss impact recognised directly in shareholders' equity in case of repurchase.

The dividend per share paid in 2024 out of the 2023 net income amounted to EUR 4.60 (against EUR 3.90 out of the 2022 net income).

The distribution amounted to EUR 5,198 million, against EUR 4,744 million paid in 2023.

This distribution is raised to 60% of the 2023 net income with a share buyback programme of EUR 1,055 million, realised during the first half of 2024.

Commitments to repurchase minority shareholders' interests

In connection with the acquisition of certain entities, the Group granted minority shareholders put options on their holdings.

The total value of these commitments, which are recorded as a reduction in shareholders' equity, amounted to EUR 467 million at 30 June 2024, compared with EUR 510 million at 31 December 2023.

7.c LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION

BNP Paribas (the "Bank") is party as a defendant in various claims, disputes and legal proceedings (including investigations by judicial or supervisory authorities) in a number of jurisdictions arising in the ordinary course of its business, including inter alia in connection with its activities as market counterparty, lender, employer, investor and taxpayer.

The related risks have been assessed by the Bank and are subject, where appropriate, to provisions disclosed in note 4.k Provisions for contingencies and charges; a provision is recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle an obligation arising from a past event and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The main contingent liabilities related to pending legal, governmental, or arbitral proceedings as of June 30, 2024 are described below. The Bank currently considers that none of these proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or profitability; however, the outcome of legal or governmental proceedings is by definition unpredictable.

The Bank and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in several actions pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York brought by the Trustee appointed for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC ("BLMIS"). These actions, known generally as "clawback claims", are similar to those brought by the BLMIS Trustee under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and New York state law against numerous institutions, and seek recovery of amounts allegedly received by BNP Paribas entities from BLMIS or indirectly through BLMIS-related "feeder funds" in which BNP Paribas entities held interests.

As a result of certain decisions of the Bankruptcy Court and the United States District Court between 2016 and 2018, the majority of the BLMIS Trustee's actions were either dismissed or substantially narrowed. However, those decisions were either reversed or effectively overruled by subsequent decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued on 25 February 2019 and 30 August 2021. As a result, the BLMIS Trustee refiled certain of these actions and, as of end May 2023, had asserted claims amounting in the aggregate to approximately USD 1.2 billion. As of end June 2024, following the dismissal of certain of the BLMIS Trustee's actions or claims, the aggregate amount of the claims stood at approximately USD 1.1 billion. BNP Paribas has substantial and credible defenses to these actions and is defending against them vigorously.

Litigation was brought in Belgium by minority shareholders of the previous Fortis Group against the Société fédérale de Participations et d'Investissement, Ageas and BNP Paribas seeking (amongst other things) damages from BNP Paribas as restitution for part of the BNP Paribas Fortis shares that were contributed to BNP Paribas in 2009, on the ground that the transfer of these shares was null and void. On 29 April 2016, the Brussels Commercial court decided to stay the proceedings until the resolution of the pending Fortis criminal proceeding in Belgium. The criminal proceeding, in which the Public Prosecutor had requested a dismissal, is definitively closed, as the Council Chamber of the Brussels Court of first instance issued on 4 September 2020 a ruling (which since became final) that the charges were time-barred. Certain minority shareholders are continuing the civil proceedings against BNP Paribas and the Société fédérale de Participations et d'Investissement before the Brussels Commercial court; BNP Paribas continues to defend itself vigorously against the allegations of these shareholders. Hearings on the matter before the Brussels Commercial court are scheduled for September and October 2024.

On 26 February 2020, the Paris Criminal Court found BNP Paribas Personal Finance guilty of misleading commercial practice and concealment of this practice. BNP Paribas Personal Finance was ordered to pay a fine of EUR 187,500 and damages and legal fees to the civil plaintiffs. On 28 November 2023, the Paris Court of Appeals upheld the Paris Criminal Court's decision relating to misleading commercial practice and the concealment of those practices. As for the damages owed to the civil plaintiffs, though the Paris Court of Appeals adjusted the calculation methodology, the majority of the damages had already been paid by provisional enforcement of the Paris Criminal Court's judgment. An agreement was also entered into with the Consommation Logement Cadre de Vie association to settle the case with customers wishing to do so.

Like many other financial institutions in the banking, investment, mutual funds and brokerage sectors, the Bank has received or may receive requests for information from, or be subject to investigations by supervisory, governmental or self-regulatory agencies. The Bank responds to such requests, and cooperates with the relevant authorities and regulators and seeks to address and remedy any issues that may arise.

In 2023, BNP Paribas premises (along with those of other financial institutions) were searched by the French financial prosecutor's office; BNP Paribas was informed that the office had opened a preliminary investigation relating to French securities transactions.

There are no other legal, governmental or arbitral proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened) that could have, or during the last twelve months have had, significant effects on the Bank's financial condition or profitability.

7.d BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND LOSS OF CONTROL OR SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE

Operations of the first half of 2024

UkrSibbank

The easing of a number of restrictions previously imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine made it possible to reestablish the conditions for exercising control as defined by IFRS 10, which had the effect of changing the consolidation method from equity method to full consolidation method.

This change of consolidation method was reflected in the increase in the Group's balance sheet of EUR 3 billion, in particular in financial assets at amortised cost and led to the recognition of a badwill of EUR 226 million.

Cetelem SA de CV

On 27 March 2024, BNP Paribas Personal Finance sold 80% of its stake of its Mexican subsidiary Cetelem SA de CV.

The Group BNP Paribas lost exclusive control of this entity but kept a significant influence.

This partial disposal is accompanied by an agreement for the future disposal of the residual interest, thereby depriving the Group of the return on the shares held, and leading to the recognition of a debt.

The loss of control led to the recognition of a net gain on disposal of EUR 118 million and to a decrease the Group's balance sheet by EUR 3 billion, in particular in financial assets at amortised cost.

BCC Vita SpA

On 15 May 2024, BNP Paribas Cardif SA acquired 51% of the capital of BCC Vita, together with a purchase agreement of 19% additional holding.

BNP Paribas Group acquired exclusive control of this entity to the extent of 70% and the entity was consolidated in full consolidation method.

This operation resulted in the increase of the Group's balance sheet at the acquisition date by EUR 4 billion, in particular in investments in insurance activities.

The goodwill related to this operation was EUR 90 million.

Operation of the first half of 2023

Partnership with Stellantis

On 3 April 2023, BNP Paribas Personal Finance became the exclusive partner of Stellantis captive company in its financing activities across three strategic markets: Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom.

This operation involved the purchase of three entities in these three countries, in conjunction with the sale of activities to various Stellantis joint ventures in France, Italy and Spain.

This restructuring increased the Group's balance sheet by EUR 8 billion, in particular in financial assets at amortised cost, and led to the recognition of a net gain on disposal of EUR 54 million and of a goodwill of EUR 173 million.

7.e DISCONTINUED ACTIVITIES

On 18 December 2021, BNP Paribas concluded an agreement with BMO Financial Group for the sale of 100% of its retail and commercial banking activities in the United States, operated by the BancWest cash-generating unit, for a total consideration of USD 16.3 billion in cash.

The transaction was closed on 1 February 2023 following receipt of all regulatory approvals by BMO Financial Group.

The net capital gain on the disposal amounted to EUR 2.9 billion, recognised in net income from discontinued activities in 2023.

7.f FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT AMORTISED COST

The information supplied in this note must be used and interpreted with the greatest caution for the following reasons:

  • these fair values are an estimate of the value of the relevant instruments at 30 June 2024. They are liable to fluctuate from day to day as a result of changes in various parameters, such as interest rates and credit quality of the counterparty. In particular, they may differ significantly from the amounts actually received or paid on maturity of the instrument. In most cases, the fair value is not intended to be realised immediately, and in practice might not be realised immediately. Consequently, this fair value does not reflect the actual value of the instrument to BNP Paribas as a going concern;

  • most of these fair values are not meaningful, and hence are not taken into account in the management of the commercial banking activities which use these instruments;

  • estimating a fair value for financial instruments carried at historical cost often requires the use of modelling techniques, hypotheses and assumptions that may vary from bank to bank. This means that comparisons between the fair values of financial instruments carried at historical cost as disclosed by different banks may not be meaningful;
  • the fair values shown below do not include the fair values of finance lease transactions, non-financial instruments such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets such as the value attributed to demand deposit portfolios or customer relationships. Consequently, these fair values should not be regarded as the actual contribution of the instruments concerned to the overall valuation of the BNP Paribas Group.

The valuation techniques and assumptions used by BNP Paribas ensure that the fair value of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost is measured on a consistent basis throughout the Group. Fair value is based on prices quoted in an active market when these are available. In other cases, fair value is determined using valuation techniques such as discounting of estimated future cash flows for loans, liabilities and debt securities at amortised cost, or specific valuation models for other financial instruments as described in note 1, Summary of significant accounting policies applied by the BNP Paribas Group. The description of the fair value hierarchy levels is also presented in the accounting principles (see note 1.f.10). In the case of loans, liabilities and debt securities at amortised cost that have an initial maturity of less than one year (including demand deposits) or of most regulated savings products, fair value equates to carrying amount. These instruments have been classified in Level 2, except for loans to customers, which are classified in Level 3.

7.g SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

Statutory Auditors' review report on the interim financial information

(For the six-month period ended 30 June 2024)

This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditors' review report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.

BNP Paribas

16, boulevard des Italiens 75009 Paris, France

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meeting 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 interim consolidated financial statements of BNP Paribas for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 ;
  • the verification of the information contained in the interim management report.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. 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. 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 significant matters that might be identified 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 interim consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

II — Specific verification

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

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

The Shareholders' Annual General Meeting approved on 14 May 2024 the payment of an ordinary dividend of EUR 4.60 per share in cash, equivalent to 50% on 2023 net income. This distribution raised the "ordinary" pay-out ratio on 2023 to 60%, taking into account the ordinary distribution through an amount of EUR 1.055 billion share buyback. At 23 April 2024, the 2024 share buyback programme has been fully implemented. Regulatory capital and capital ratios as at 31 December 2023 and 31 March 2024 take into account this ordinary distribution on 2023 net income.

Regulatory capital and capital ratios as at 31 March 2024 and 30 June 2024 take into account a 60% pay-out ratio on 2024 net income, adjusted for the remuneration on the undated super subordinated notes.

At 30 June 2024, the non-performing loans ratio of the Group stands at 2.3%, compared with 2.2% at 31 December 2023. This ratio is used by the European Banking Authority to monitor non-performing loans in Europe. It is calculated on the basis of gross loans exposures, advances and deposits with central banks without taking into account collateral received.

Changes in the stock of non-performing loans and advances (EU CR2) are presented in note 4.e to the financial statements as at 30 June 2024.

The table (EU CQ4) below shows the on- and off-balance-sheet exposures. These exposures contribute to all Group risks, mainly credit risk.

Update of the 2023 Universal Registration Document, table 51 pages 544-550.

In accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2021/637, the table below (EU CQ5) shows the breakdown of loans and receivables with the scope of non-financial corporations. It does not take into account all exposures to central governments and central banks, credit institutions, financial companies and households. These on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures contribute to all Group risks, mainly credit risk. The breakdown by sector – as defined by European Regulation No. 1893/2006 establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE rev. 2 – is based on the borrower's declaration.

These same balance sheet exposures of continuing activities, broken down by sector, are included in Table 108: Credit quality of exposures by sector and residual maturities of section 5.11 Environmental, social and governance risks of this chapter. In the latter, exposures include, however, debt securities and equity instruments not held for trading.

SECURITISATION IN THE BANKING BOOK

The following securitisation exposures are presented according to their rating, the materiality of the risk transfer ("SRT" for efficient operations), and the compliance with the "STS" criteria (for simple, transparent and standard transactions). As a reminder, the underlying exposures of securitisation transactions that do not result in a significant risk transfer are subject to capital requirements for credit risk.

Interest rate risk

Sensitivity of revenues to global interest rate risk

Sensitivities are calculated on the total banking book, considering its dynamic over one-, two- and threeyear rolling timeframes, for a parallel, instantaneous and definitive increase and decrease in market rates on all currencies over all the terms of ± 50 basis points (+0.5%).

These sensitivities are measured as deviations from a central rate scenario corresponding to future interest rates expected by the markets at estimation date (e.g. forward rates seen as of the end of June 2024 for sensitivities as at 30 June 2024).

They include the direct impacts of market rates and business trends. Indirect effects on commercial activity linked to changes in outstandings and customer rates, are also taken into account. For instance, the residual amount of the increases in sight non-interest-bearing current account balances, observed during the period of low or negative interest rates, are considered as situational to the previous low interest rates environment, and are assumed to gradually decrease with sufficiently positive short term rates.

Supervisory Outlier Tests (SOT)

SOT on Economic Value of Equity (EVE) – SOT EVE

As the assets and liabilities of the Group's banking intermediation business are not intended to be sold, they are not recognised or managed on the basis of their theoretical economic value measured by discounting future cash flows. Similarly, the theoretical economic value of the net assets does not affect the Group's capital.

However, pursuant to the regulatory requirements and calculation methods laid down by the European Banking Authority (EBA), the ratios of sensitivity of the theoretical economic value of the net assets of the intermediation business in relation to Tier 1 capital are regularly calculated through 6 interest rate scenarios defined by the EBA (i.e. parallel up/down, steepening/flattening, short rates up/down). These ratios are compared to the -15% threshold used by the supervisor to identify situations where the interest rate risk in the banking book could be material.

The ratios at end-June 2024 are presented in the table below and are significantly below the materiality threshold of -15%. Across the six supervisory scenario, the lowest ratio stands at -2.9% below the level of end December 2023.

SOT on Net Interest Income (NII) – SOT NII

After its approval by the European Commission and its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union in April 2024, the SOT NII has entered into force in May 2024. The SOT NII refers to the sensitivity of the first year NII to parallel up / down interest rate scenarios (i.e. a ± 200 basis points shock for EUR and USD) assuming constant balance sheet (in terms of both size and mix) and constant commercial margin, expressed as a ratio to Tier One capital. For each currency, as for SOT EVE, the SOT NII weights positive sensitivities with a 50% factor and negative sensitivities with 100% factor.

As of end June 2024, the lowest ratio stands at -0.9%, well below the - 5% materiality threshold.

(1) The data presented in this table are calculated as the rolling average over the twelve latest month-end values.

Qualitative information on LCR (EU LIQ-B)

The Group's rolling month-end average LCR over the last 12 months stands at 135%, which corresponded to a liquidity surplus of EUR 100 billion compared with the regulatory requirement. The Group ratio averaged between 135% and 137%.

After application of the regulatory haircuts (weighted values), the Group's rolling month-end average liquid assets over the last 12 months amounted to EUR 386 billion, and mainly consist of central bank deposits (45% at the end of June) and government and sovereign bonds (55%).

Rolling month-end average cash outflows over the last 12 months under the thirty-day liquidity stress scenario amount to EUR 286 billion, a large part of which corresponds to thirty-day deposit outflow assumptions of EUR 231 billion. Reciprocally, cash inflows on loans under the thirty-day liquidity regulatory stress scenario amount to EUR 69 billion.

Cash flows on financing transactions and collateralised loans, representing repurchase agreements and securities exchanges, record net rolling month-end average inflows over the last 12 months of EUR 2 billion, given the regulatory haircuts applied to collaterals. Flows linked to derivative instruments and regulatory stress tests record net outflows of EUR 18 billion after netting of cash outflows (EUR 47 billion) and inflows (EUR 29 billion).

Lastly, the rolling month-end average drawdown assumptions on financing commitments over the last 12 months amounted to EUR 50 billion.

There was no excessive imbalance on any significant currency.

The table Credit quality of exposures by sector, emissions and residual maturity is republished as of 31 December 2023 following the new instruction provided by the EBA in April 2024 within its question and answer framework (Q&A 2023_6940).

As of 30th June 2024, the estimated amount of greenhouse gases financed emissions of our counterparts (scope 1 and 2) is 59,1 MtCO2e.

The estimate of greenhouse gases financed emissions of our counterparts is calculated according to the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) Standard A methodology. In order to determine the share of emissions affected to the Group's financing, the scope 1 and 2 emissions reported by the counterparts are weighted by the share of financing held by BNP Paribas over the client's total financing, represented by the enterprise value for listed companies and the total equity and debt (loans and debt securities) for unlisted companies.

The scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gases emissions data reported cover 33% of the total outstanding amount of the Group's non-financial corporates in table Credit quality of exposures by sector, emissions and residual maturity.

Where clients' greenhouse gases emissions are not available, the Group relies on average emissions intensities of the counterpart's sector to complete the scope of calculation. The Group uses estimations provided by PCAF, more specifically emissions intensities expressed in terms of greenhouse gases emissions per unit asset lent or financed (CO2e/M€) for a given sector and geography. In line with PCAF recommendations, the Group applies emissions intensities at sectoral and regional level.

The average data quality score of the Group's financed emissions according to PCAF standard is 3.8 as of end of June 2024. It is determined by weighting the gross carrying amount by the quality score of the greenhouse gases emissions used. The scale of data quality score ranges from 1, for collected and verified data, to 5 for the average sector and regional intensities.

The scope 3 of the greenhouse gases financed emissions of our counterparts is not disclosed. The methodologies and data existing to date are not qualitative enough to comply with regulatory publication standards. Indeed, less than 15% of the portfolio's gross carrying amount is covered by data reported by counterparts. Collected data is also rarely exhaustive on the significant categories of the counterpart's value chain. As for the regional and sectoral average emissions intensities provided by PCAF, they are only available for the upstream categories of the sectors' value chain, and therefore incomplete by construction. The Group is working on the collection and measurement of the quality of this data, which is expected to improve as sustainability disclosure regulations are implemented.

The above template provides information on alignment efforts towards Paris agreement objectives on the intensive sectors of the Group's portfolio. This information is published using the same perimeters and methodologies than the ones used for NZBA commitments in the Group's Climate Report published in May 2024.

The gross carrying amount is determined on all the counterparts in the sectors covered by the Group's Net-Zero commitments, the NACE sectors included in the template provided by the EBA are nonexhaustive and are provided on an indicative basis only.

The alignment metrics used are the same as the metrics for NZBA commitments as of 31 December 2023, as published in the Group Climate Report. It should be noted that the alignment metric for the automotive sector is measured on the average intensity of vehicles produced over the year as only the portfolio of car manufacturers loans is covered.

The distance between the alignment metric at the reference date and the 2030 milestone for each sector is calculated in relation to the IEA's Net-Zero Emissions (NZE) 2050 scenarios for power generation, oil and gas, automotive, cement and steel. For the other sectors, distances are calculated using the NZE2050 scenarios used in the Group's calculations of NZBA commitments: International Maritime Organization for shipping, International Aluminium Institute for aluminium, Mission Possible Partnership Prudent for aviation and Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor for commercial real estate.

Excepted for the automotive and power generation sectors for which the targets correspond to the ones set for the Group's 2025 commitments, the disclosed targets at three years from the reference year are interpolated between the reference year and 2030, the date of the Group's Net-Zero commitment. These intermediate points are an estimate of the sectoral trajectory at 3 years.

G-SIB buffer

The measurement approach of the global systemic importance is indicator-based. The selected indicators reflect the size of banks, their interconnectedness, the use of banking information systems for the services they provide, their global cross-jurisdictional activity and their complexity. The methodology is described in a document published in July 2013 by the Basel Committee, entitled Global systemically important banks: updated assessment methodology and the higher loss absorbency requirement (BCBS 255).

The Group received notification from the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR), dated 27 November 2023, that it was on the 2023 list of global systemically important financial institutions in sub-category 2, corresponding to its score in the database at end 2022. As a result, the G-SIB buffer requirement for the Group, applicable from 1st January 2024 remains unchanged at 1.5% of the total exposure amount.

The Group's G-SIB indicators at 31 December 2023 have been initially published in April 2024 and have been updated in July 2024.

4. RISK FACTORS

Update of the 2023 Universal Registration Document, "Risk Factors" on pages 392 to 410.

The main categories of risk inherent in the BNP Paribas Group's business are presented below. They may be measured through risk-weighted assets or other quantitative or qualitative indicators, to the extent risk-weighted assets are not relevant (for example, for liquidity and funding risk).

As a reminder, the financial and other information as at 31 December 2022 contained in these risk factors comprise, unless otherwise indicated, the results of Bank of the West based on a prudential vision. They are therefore presented excluding the effect of the application of IFRS 5 on groups of assets and liabilities held for sale. The financial and other information as at 31 December 2023 contained in these risk factors do not include results and operations of Bank of the West, which was sold on 1 February 2023.

More generally, the risks to which the BNP Paribas Group is exposed may arise from a number of factors related, among others, to changes in its macroeconomic or regulatory environment or factors related to the implementation of its strategy and its business.

The material risks specific to the BNP Paribas Group's business, determined based on the circumstances known to the management as of the date of this document, are thus presented below under 7 main categories, in accordance with Article 16 of the UK Prospectus Regulation: credit risk, counterparty risk and securitisation risk in the banking book; operational risk; market risk; liquidity and funding risk; risks related to the macroeconomic and market environment; regulatory risks; and risks related to the BNP Paribas Group's growth in its current environment.

The Group's risk management policies have been taken into account in assessing the materiality of these risks; in particular, risk-weighted assets factor in risk mitigation elements to the extent eligible in accordance with applicable banking regulations.

1. CREDIT RISK, COUNTERPARTY RISK AND SECURITISATION RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK

At 31 December 2023, the BNP Paribas Group's credit risk exposure broke down as follows: corporates (43%), central governments and central banks (25%), retail customers (24%), credit institutions (4%), other risk assets (2%) and equities (1%). At 31 December 2023, 33% of the Bank's credit exposure was comprised of exposures in France, 16% in Belgium and Luxembourg, 10% in Italy, 21% in other European countries, 9% in North America, 6% in Asia and 5% in the rest of the world. The BNP Paribas Group's risk-weighted assets subject to this type of risk amounted to EUR 535 billion at 31 December 2023, or 77% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group, as compared to EUR 580 billion at 31 December 2022, representing 78% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group, and EUR 560 billion at 30 June 2024, or 76% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group.

At 31 December 2023, BNP Paribas Group's exposure to counterparty risk was: 37% to the corporate sector, 12% to governments and central banks, 23% to credit institutions and investment firms, and 28% to clearing houses. By product, BNP Paribas Group's exposure at 31 December 2023, excluding CVA ("Credit Valuation Adjustment") risk, is comprised of: 41% in OTC derivatives, 40% in repurchase transactions and securities lending/borrowing, 9% in listed derivatives and 10% in contributions to the clearing houses' default funds. The level of this counterparty risk varies over time, depending on fluctuations in market parameters affecting the potential future value of the covered transactions. In addition, CVA risk measures the risk of losses related to CVA volatility resulting from fluctuations in credit spreads associated with the counterparties to which the BNP Paribas Group is subject to risk. The riskweighted assets subject to counterparty credit risk amounted to EUR 45 billion at 31 December 2023, or 6% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group, as compared to EUR 42 billion at 31 December 2022, or 6% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group, and EUR 48 billion at 30 June 2024, or 7% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group.

With regard to risk related to securitisation of the banking book, the bulk of the BNP Paribas Group's commitments are recorded in the prudential banking portfolio. Securitised exposures are essentially those generated by the BNP Paribas Group. Thus, the securitisation positions held or acquired by the BNP Paribas Group may be categorised by its role in the securitisation transaction: of the exposures as at 31 December 2023, the BNP Paribas Group was originator of 42%, was sponsor of 35% and was investor of 23%. The risk-weighted assets subject to this type of risk amounted to EUR 17 billion at 31 December 2023, or 2% of the total risk-weighted assets for the BNP Paribas Group, compared to EUR 16 billion at 31 December 2022, or 2% of the total risk-weighted assets for the BNP Paribas Group, and EUR 16 billion at 30 June 2024, or 2% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group.

1.1 A substantial increase in new provisions or a shortfall in the level of previously recorded provisions exposed to credit risk and counterparty risk could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's results of operations and financial condition

Credit risk and counterparty risk impact the BNP Paribas Group's consolidated financial statements when a customer or counterparty is unable to honour its obligations and when the book value of these obligations in the BNP Paribas Group's records is positive. The customer or counterparty may be a bank, a financial institution, an industrial or commercial enterprise, a government or a government entity, an investment fund, or a natural person. If the default rate of customers or counterparties increases, the BNP Paribas Group may have to record increased charges or provisions in respect of irrecoverable or doubtful loans (Stage 3) or performing loans (Stages 1 and 2), in response to a deterioration in economic conditions or other factors, which may affect its profitability.

As a result, in connection with its lending activities, the BNP Paribas Group regularly establishes provisions, which are recorded on its income statement in the line item Cost of Risk. In 2023, these provisions amounted to EUR 2,907 million compared to EUR 3,003 million in 2022. This amount reflects write-backs of provisions on performing loans in an amount of EUR 517 million in 2023, and provisions on doubtful loans of EUR 1,833 million, excluding Personal Finance's cost of risk. At 31 December 2023, the cost of risk does not include other net charges for risk on financial instruments (i.e. charges relating to risks that call into question the validity or enforceability of financial instruments). These charges amount to EUR 775 million as at 31 December 2023, and in 2023 they included the extraordinary impact of provisions for litigation relating to mortgage loans in Poland (EUR 450 million), provisions for litigation relating to Personal Finance (EUR 221 million) and provisions for credit risk (EUR 104 million).

The BNP Paribas Group's overall level of provisions is based on its assessment of prior loss experience, the volume and type of lending being conducted, industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions and other factors related to the recoverability of various loans or statistical analysis based on scenarios applicable to asset classes. The BNP Paribas Group seeks to establish an appropriate level of provisions.

Although the BNP Paribas Group seeks to establish an appropriate level of provisions, its lending businesses may have to substantially increase their provisions for loan losses or sound receivables in the future as a result of deteriorating economic conditions or other causes.

For example, provisions increased in 2020 primarily due to the early ex-ante recognition of potential losses related to the effects of the health crisis (Stages 1 and 2 provisions on performing loans in accordance with IFRS 9). Any significant increase in provisions for loan losses or a significant change in the BNP Paribas Group's estimate of the risk of loss inherent in its portfolio of non-impaired loans, as well as the occurrence of loan losses in excess of the related provisions, could have a material adverse effect on the BNP Paribas Group's results of operations and financial condition.

For reference, at 31 December 2023, the ratio of doubtful loans to total loans outstanding was 1.7% and the coverage ratio of these doubtful commitments (net of guarantees received) by provisions was 71.7%, against 1.7% and 72.5%, respectively, as at 31 December 2022.

While the BNP Paribas Group seeks to reduce its exposure to credit risk and counterparty risk by using risk mitigation techniques such as collateralisation, obtaining guarantees, entering into credit derivatives and entering into netting agreements, it cannot be certain that these techniques will be effective to offset losses resulting from counterparty defaults that are covered by these techniques. Moreover, the BNP Paribas Group is also exposed to the risk of default by the party providing the credit risk coverage (such as a counterparty in a derivative or a loan insurance contract) or to the risk of loss of value of any collateral. In addition, only a portion of the BNP Paribas Group's overall credit risk and counterparty risk is covered by these techniques. Accordingly, the BNP Paribas Group has very significant exposure to these risks.

1.2 The soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and market participants could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group

The BNP Paribas Group's ability to engage in financing, investment and derivative transactions could be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions or market participants. Financial institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, funding or other relationships. As a result, defaults by one or more States or financial institutions, or even rumours or questions about one or more financial institutions, or the financial services industry generally, may lead to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to further losses or defaults. The BNP Paribas Group has exposure to many counterparties in the financial industry, directly and indirectly, including clearing houses, brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, mutual and alternative investment funds, and other institutional clients with which it regularly executes transactions. The BNP Paribas Group may also be exposed to risks related to the increasing involvement in the financial sector of players and the introduction of new types of transactions subject to little or no regulation (e.g. unregulated funds, trading venues or crowdfunding platforms). Credit and counterparty risks could be exacerbated if the collateral held by the BNP Paribas Group cannot be realised, it decreases in value or it is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivative exposure due to the BNP Paribas Group or in the event of the failure of a significant financial market participant such as a central counterparty.

For reference, counterparty risk exposure related to financial institutions was EUR 45 billion at 31 December 2023, or 23% of the BNP Paribas Group's total counterparty risk exposure, and counterparty risk exposure related to clearing houses was EUR 56 billion, or 28% of the BNP Paribas Group's total counterparty risk exposure, compared with rates of 13% and 33%, respectively, as at 31 December 2022.

In addition, fraud or misconduct by financial market participants can have a material adverse effect on financial institutions due in particular to the interrelated nature of the financial markets. An example is the fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff that came to light in 2008, as a result of which numerous financial institutions, including the BNP Paribas Group, announced losses or exposure to losses in substantial amounts. The BNP Paribas Group remains the subject of various claims in connection with the Madoff matter; see note 7.c Legal proceedings and arbitration to its consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.

Losses resulting from the risks summarised above could materially and adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's results of operations

2. OPERATIONAL RISK

The BNP Paribas Group's risk-weighted assets subject to operational risk amounted to EUR 59 billion at 31 December 2023, or 8% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group, and EUR 62 billion at 31 December 2022, or 8% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group, and EUR 58 billion at 30 June 2024, or 8% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group. The breakdown of losses by type of operational risk for the 2015-2023 period is rebalanced following the exit from the reference period of the comprehensive settlement with the US authorities in 2014. The main type of operational risk incidents remains the "Clients, products and business practices" category, followed by process failures, including errors in executing or processing transactions, and then external fraud. Between 2015 and 2023, other types of risk in operational risk consisted of external fraud (22%), business disruption and systems failure (4%), employment practices and workplace safety (3%), internal fraud (1%) and damage to physical assets (1%).

2.1 The BNP Paribas Group's risk management policies, procedures and methods may leave it exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks, which could lead to material losses

The BNP Paribas Group devotes significant resources to developing its risk management policies, procedures and assessment methods and intends to continue to do so in the future. Nonetheless, the BNP Paribas Group's risk management techniques and strategies may not be fully effective in mitigating its risk exposure in all economic and market environments within which the BNP Paribas Group operates. These techniques and strategies could also prove to be ineffective against all types of risk, particularly risks that the BNP Paribas Group may have failed to identify or anticipate. The BNP Paribas Group's ability to assess the creditworthiness of its customers, or risk parameters, such as the value of its assets and the effectiveness of its hedges, or to measure risks adequately if, as a result of market turmoil or in certain market environments such as those experienced in recent years, the models and approaches it uses become less predictive of future behaviour, valuations, assumptions or estimates. Some of the BNP Paribas Group's qualitative tools and metrics for managing risk are based on its use of observed historical market behaviour. The BNP Paribas Group applies statistical and other tools to these observations to arrive at quantifications of its risk exposures. The process the BNP Paribas Group uses to estimate losses inherent in its credit exposure or estimate the value of certain assets requires difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, including forecasts of economic conditions and how these economic predictions might impair the ability of its borrowers to repay their loans or impact the value of assets, which may, during periods of market disruption or substantial uncertainty, be incapable of accurate estimation and, in turn, impact the reliability of the process. These tools and metrics may fail to predict future risk exposures, including, for example, if the BNP Paribas Group does not anticipate or correctly evaluate certain factors in its statistical models, or upon the occurrence of an event deemed extremely unlikely by the tools and metrics. This would limit the BNP Paribas Group's ability to manage its risks. The BNP Paribas Group's losses could therefore be significantly greater than the historical measures indicate. In addition, the BNP Paribas Group's quantified modelling does not take all risks into account. Its more qualitative approach to managing certain risks could prove insufficient, exposing it to material unanticipated losses.

2.2 An interruption in or a breach of the BNP Paribas Group's information systems may cause substantial losses of client or customer information, damage to the BNP Paribas Group's reputation and result in financial losses

As with most other banks, the BNP Paribas Group relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. This dependency has increased with the spread of mobile and online banking services, the development of cloud computing, and more generally the use of new technologies. These technologies are mainly developed internally but some are provided by third parties. Any failure or interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or interruptions in the BNP Paribas Group's customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, servicing and/or loan organisation systems or could cause the BNP Paribas Group to incur significant costs in recovering and verifying lost data. The BNP Paribas Group cannot provide assurances that such failures or interruptions will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed by it or by its third-party service providers.

In addition, the BNP Paribas Group is subject to cybersecurity risk, or risk caused by a malicious and/or fraudulent act, committed virtually, with the intention of manipulating information (confidential data, bank/insurance, technical or strategic), processes and users, in order to cause material losses to the BNP Paribas Group's subsidiaries, employees, partners and clients and/or for the purpose of extortion (ransomware). An increasing number of companies (including financial institutions) have in recent years experienced intrusion attempts or even breaches of their information technology security, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks on their computer networks. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorised access, disable or degrade service, steal confidential data or sabotage information systems have become more sophisticated, change frequently and often are not recognised until launched against a target, the BNP Paribas Group and its third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement in a timely manner effective and efficient countermeasures. Any failures of or interruptions in the BNP Paribas Group's information systems or those of its providers and any subsequent disclosure of confidential information related to any client, counterpart or employee of the BNP Paribas Group (or any other person) or any intrusion or attack against its communication system, or the communication systems of its third-party service providers, could cause significant losses and have an adverse effect on the BNP Paribas Group's reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Regulatory authorities now consider cybercriminality to be a growing systemic risk for the financial sector. They have stressed the need for financial institutions to improve their resilience to cyber-attacks by strengthening internal IT monitoring and control procedures. A successful cyber-attack could therefore expose the Group to a regulatory fine, especially should any personal customer data be lost.

Moreover, the BNP Paribas Group is exposed to the risk of operational failure or interruption of a clearing agent, foreign markets, clearing houses, custodian banks or any other financial intermediary or external service provider used by the BNP Paribas Group to execute or facilitate financial transactions. Due to its increased interaction with clients, the BNP Paribas Group is also exposed to the risk of operational malfunction of the latter's information systems. The BNP Paribas Group's communications and data systems and those of its clients, service providers and counterparties may also be subject to malfunctions or interruptions as a result of cyber-crime or cyber-terrorism. The BNP Paribas Group cannot guarantee that these malfunctions or interruptions in its own systems or those of other parties will not occur or that in the event of a cyber-attack, these malfunctions or interruptions will be adequately resolved.

2.3 Reputational risk could weigh on the BNP Paribas Group's financial strength and diminish the confidence of clients and counterparties in it

Considering the highly competitive environment in the financial services industry, a reputation for financial strength and integrity is critical to the BNP Paribas Group's ability to attract and retain customers. The BNP Paribas Group's reputation could be harmed if the means it uses to market and promote its products and services were to be deemed inconsistent with client interests. The BNP Paribas Group's reputation could also be damaged if, as it increases its client base and the scale of its businesses, its overall procedures and controls dealing with conflicts of interest fail, or appear to fail, to address them properly. Moreover, the BNP Paribas Group's reputation could be damaged by employee misconduct, fraud or misconduct by financial industry participants to which the BNP Paribas Group is exposed, a restatement of, a decline in, or corrections to its results, as well as any adverse legal or regulatory action, such as the settlement the BNP Paribas Group entered into with the US authorities in

2014 for violations of US laws and regulations regarding economic sanctions. The loss of business that could result from damage to the BNP Paribas Group's reputation could have an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial position.

3. MARKET RISK

BNP Paribas Group is exposed to market risk mainly through trading activities carried out by the business lines of its Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) operating division, in particular in Global Markets, which represented 17% of the BNP Paribas Group's revenue in 2023. BNP Paribas Group's trading activities are directly linked to economic relations with clients of these business lines, or indirectly as part of its market making activity. In addition, the market risk relating to the BNP Paribas Group's banking activities covers its interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks in connection with its activities as a banking intermediary. The "operating" foreign exchange risk exposure relates to net earnings generated by activities conducted in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity concerned. The "structural" foreign exchange risk position of an entity relates to investments in currencies other than the functional currency. The BNP Paribas Group uses the concepts of standard rate risk and structural rate risk in measuring interest rate risk. Standard rate risk corresponds to the general case for a given transaction. Structural rate risk is the interest rate risk relating to own funds and non-interest-bearing current accounts. If the BNP Paribas Group's hedging strategies prove ineffective or provide only a partial hedge, the BNP Paribas Group could incur losses which could have a negative impact on its operating results as well as its financial condition. BNP Paribas' market risk based on its activities is measured by "Value at Risk" (VaR), and various other market indicators (stressed VaR, Incremental Risk Charge, Comprehensive Risk Measure for credit correlation portfolio) as well as by stress tests and sensitivity analysis compared with market limits.

The risk-weighted assets subject to this type of risk amounted to EUR 29 billion at 31 December 2023, or almost 4% of the BNP Paribas Group's total risk-weighted assets, compared to EUR 26 billion at 31 December 2022, or 3% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group, and EUR 30 billion at 30 June 2024, or 4% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group.

3.1 The BNP Paribas Group may incur significant losses on its trading and investment activities due to market fluctuations and volatility

The BNP Paribas Group maintains trading and investment positions in the debt, currency, commodity and equity markets, and in unlisted securities, real estate and other asset classes, including through derivative contracts. These positions could be adversely affected by extreme volatility in these markets, i.e. the degree to which prices fluctuate over a particular period in a particular market, regardless of market levels. Moreover, volatility trends that prove substantially different from the BNP Paribas Group's expectations may lead to losses relating to a broad range of other products that the BNP Paribas Group uses, including swaps, forward and future contracts, options and structured products.

To the extent that the BNP Paribas Group owns assets, or has net long positions, in any of those markets, a market downturn could result in losses from a decline in the value of its positions. Conversely, to the extent that the BNP Paribas Group has sold assets that it does not own, or has net short positions in any of those markets, a market upturn could, in spite of the existing limitation of risks and control systems, expose the BNP Paribas Group to potentially substantial losses as it attempts to cover its net short positions by acquiring assets in a rising market.

The BNP Paribas Group may from time to time hold a long position in one asset and a short position in another, in order to hedge transactions with clients and/or in view of benefitting from changes in the relative value of the two assets. If, however, the relative value of the two assets changes in a direction or manner that the BNP Paribas Group did not anticipate or against which its positions are not hedged, it might realise a loss on those paired positions. Such losses, if significant, could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's results and financial condition. In addition, the BNP Paribas Group's hedging strategies may not be suitable for certain market conditions.

If any of the variety of instruments and strategies that the BNP Paribas Group uses to hedge its exposure to various types of risk in its businesses is not effective, the Group may incur losses. Many of its strategies are based on historical trading patterns and correlations. For example, if the BNP Paribas Group holds a long position in an asset, it may hedge that position by taking a short position in another asset where the short position has historically moved in a direction that would offset a change in the value of the long position.However, the hedge may only be partial, or the strategies used may not protect against all future risks or may not be fully effective in mitigating the BNP Paribas Group's risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk in the future. Unexpected market developments may also reduce the effectiveness of the BNP Paribas Group's hedging strategies. In addition, the manner in which gains and losses resulting from certain ineffective hedges are recorded may result in additional volatility in the BNP Paribas Group's reported earnings.

The BNP Paribas Group uses a "Value at Risk" (VaR) model to quantify its exposure to potential losses from market risks, and also performs stress testing with a view to quantifying its potential exposure in extreme scenarios (see Market Risk Stress Testing Framework in section 5.7 Market risk of this Universal Registration Document at 31 December 2023). However, these techniques rely on statistical methodologies based on historical observations, which may turn out to be unreliable predictors of future market conditions. Accordingly, the BNP Paribas Group's exposure to market risk in extreme scenarios could be greater than the exposures predicted by its quantification techniques.

More generally, the volatility of financial markets resulting from disruptions or deteriorations in macroeconomic conditions could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's trading and investment positions in the debt, currency, commodity and equity markets, as well as its positions in other investments such as commercial real estate. For reference, and as indicated below, the revenues of Global Markets, the main business line of the Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) division, which handles the BNP Paribas Group's trading activities, accounted for 17% of the BNP Paribas Group's revenues in 2023. Severe market disruptions and extreme market volatility have occurred often in recent years (including in 2023) and may persist or resurface, which could result in significant losses for the BNP Paribas Group. Such losses may extend to a broad range of trading and hedging products, including swaps, forward and future contracts, options and structured products. The volatility of financial markets makes it difficult to predict trends and implement effective trading strategies. It also weighs on the primary equity and bond markets, as in 2022 and 2023, affecting the activity of Corporate & Institutional Banking.

3.2 The BNP Paribas Group may generate lower revenues from commission and fee-based businesses during market downturns and declines in activity

Commissions received by the BNP Paribas Group represented 21% of its revenues in 2023. Financial and economic conditions affect the number and size of transactions for which the BNP Paribas Group provides securities underwriting, financial advisory and other Investment Banking services. These revenues, which include fees from these services, are directly related to the number and size of the transactions in which the BNP Paribas Group participates and can thus be significantly affected by economic or financial changes that are unfavourable to its Investment Banking business and clients. In addition, because the fees that the BNP Paribas Group charges for managing its clients' portfolios are in many cases based on the value or performance of those portfolios, a market downturn that reduces the value of its clients' portfolios or increases the amount of withdrawals would reduce the revenues it receives from its asset management, equity derivatives and Private Banking businesses. Independently of market changes, the development of index portfolios or the below-market performance by the BNP Paribas Group's mutual funds may lead to reduced revenues from the BNP Paribas Group's asset management business, and increased withdrawals and reduced inflows for these vehicles. A reduced level of net banking income from the abovementioned commission and fee-based businesses may have a material adverse impact on the BNP Paribas Group's financial results.

3.3 Adjustments to the carrying value of the BNP Paribas Group's securities and derivatives portfolios and the BNP Paribas Group's own debt could have an adverse effect on its net income and shareholders' equity

The carrying value of the BNP Paribas Group's securities and derivatives portfolios and certain other assets, as well as its own debt, in its balance sheet, is adjusted as of each financial statement date. As at 31 December 2023, on the assets side of the BNP Paribas Group's balance sheet, financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes and financial assets at fair value through shareholders' equity amounted to EUR 731 billion, EUR 22 billion and EUR 53 billion respectively. In the liabilities column, financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes amounted to EUR 741 billion and EUR 38 billion, respectively, at 31 December 2023. Most of the adjustments are made on the basis of changes in fair value of the BNP Paribas Group's assets or debt during an accounting period, with the changes recorded either in the income statement or directly in shareholders' equity. Changes that are recorded in the income statement, to the extent not offset by opposite changes in the value of other assets, affect the BNP Paribas Group's consolidated revenues and, as a result, its net income. A downward adjustment of the fair value of the BNP Paribas Group's securities and derivatives portfolios may lead to reduced shareholders' equity and, to the extent not offset by opposite changes in the value of the BNP Paribas Group's liabilities, the BNP Paribas Group's capital adequacy ratios may also be lowered. The fact that fair value adjustments are recorded in one accounting period does not mean that further adjustments will not be needed in subsequent periods .

4. LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISK

The liquidity risk of the BNP Paribas Group can be assessed through its short-term liquidity ratio (the Liquidity Coverage Ratio, "LCR") which analyses the coverage of net cash outflows at 30 days in a stress scenario. The Group's period end LCR was 132% as at June 30 2024. The liquidity reserve was EUR 468 billion as at June 30 2024.

4.1 The BNP Paribas Group's access to and cost of funding could be adversely affected by a resurgence of financial crises, worsening economic conditions, rating downgrades, increases in sovereign credit spreads or other factors

The financial crisis, the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis as well as the general macroeconomic environment, at times during a period around fifteen years ago adversely affected the availability and cost of funding for European banks. This was due to several factors, including a sharp increase in the perception of bank credit risk due to exposure to sovereign debt in particular, credit rating downgrades of sovereigns and of banks, and debt market speculation. Many European banks, including the BNP Paribas Group, at various points during these periods experienced restricted access to wholesale debt markets for institutional investors and to the interbank market, as well as a general increase in their cost of funding. More recently, in the context of the health crisis, the European Central Bank (the "ECB") set up refinancing facilities designed to foster banks' financing of the economy (Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Options or "TLTRO"), on which the BNP Paribas Group has drawn. Such adverse credit market conditions may reappear in the event of a change in monetary policy (as seen, for example, with the worsening inflation and rapid rise of interest rates, as well as the end of "quantitative easing" and the changes to the TLTRO terms and conditions, in 2022 and 2023), a recession, prolonged stagnation of growth, deflation, "stagflation" (sluggish growth accompanied by inflation), another sovereign debt crisis or sovereign borrower ratings downgrades in the Group's key markets, political instability, new forms of financial crises, factors relating to the financial industry or the economy in general (including the economic consequences of the invasion of Ukraine or the conflict in the Middle East) or to the BNP Paribas Group in particular. In such a case, the effect on the liquidity, balance sheet strength and cost of funding of European financial institutions in general or the BNP Paribas Group in particular could be materially adverse and have a negative impact on the BNP Paribas Group's results of operations and financial condition.

4.2 Protracted market declines can reduce the BNP Paribas Group's liquidity, making it harder to sell assets and possibly leading to material losses. Accordingly, the BNP Paribas Group must ensure that its assets and liabilities properly match in order to avoid exposure to losses

In some of the BNP Paribas Group's businesses, particularly Global Markets (which represented 17% of the BNP Paribas Group's revenue in 2023) and Asset/Liability Management, protracted market movements, particularly asset price declines, can reduce the level of activity in the market or reduce market liquidity. These developments can lead to material losses if the BNP Paribas Group cannot close out deteriorating positions in a timely way. This is particularly true for assets that are intrinsically illiquid. Assets that are not traded on stock exchanges or other public trading markets, such as certain derivative contracts between financial institutions, may have values that the BNP Paribas Group calculates using models rather than publicly-quoted prices. Monitoring the deterioration of prices of assets like these is difficult and could lead to significant unanticipated losses (see section 5.8 Liquidity risk, paragraph Stress tests and liquidity reserve of this Universal Registration Document at 31 December 2023).

The BNP Paribas Group is exposed to the risk that the maturity, interest rate or currencies of its assets might not match those of its liabilities. The timing of payments on certain of the BNP Paribas Group's assets is uncertain and, if the BNP Paribas Group receives lower revenues than expected at a given time, it might require additional market funding in order to meet its obligations on its liabilities. While the BNP Paribas Group imposes strict limits on the gaps between its assets and its liabilities as part of its risk management procedures, it cannot be certain that these limits will be fully effective to eliminate potential negative effects arising from asset and liability mismatches.

4.3 Any downgrade of the Group's credit ratings could weigh heavily on the profitability of the Group

Credit ratings have a significant impact on the BNP Paribas Group's liquidity and cost of funding. The BNP Paribas Group is rated by four ratings agencies: Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch and DRBS. On 24 April 2023, Standard & Poor's confirmed the long-term rating of BNP Paribas SA's deposits and senior preferred debt rating as A+, and its short- term rating as A-1 with a stable outlook. On 14 June 2024, Fitch maintained its long-term deposits and senior preferred debt rating for BNP Paribas SA at AA- and its short term deposits and senior preferred debt rating for BNP Paribas SA at F1+ and revised its outlook to stable. On 15 February 2024, Moody's confirmed its long-term deposits and senior preferred debt rating as Aa3, and its short-term rating as P-1, with a stable outlook. On 20 June 2024, DBRS confirmed BNP Paribas SA's senior preferred debt rating as AA(low), and its short-term rating as R-1(middle), with a stable outlook. A downgrade in the BNP Paribas Group's credit rating could affect the liquidity and competitive position of the Group. It could also increase the BNP Paribas Group's borrowing costs, limit access to the capital markets or trigger additional obligations under its covered bonds or under certain bilateral provisions in some trading, derivative or collateralised financing contacts. A downgrade in the sovereign credit rating of France, the Group's principal country market, could also indirectly affect BNP Paribas' credit rating and cost of funding due to a potential resulting increase in the risk premium of French financial institutions.

In addition, the BNP Paribas Group's cost of obtaining long-term unsecured funding from market investors is also directly related to its credit spreads, which in turn depend to a certain extent on its credit ratings. Increases in credit spreads can significantly increase the BNP Paribas Group's cost of funding. Changes in credit spreads are continuous, market-driven, and subject at times to unpredictable and highly volatile movements. Credit spreads are also influenced by market perceptions of the BNP Paribas Group's creditworthiness. Furthermore, credit spreads may be influenced by movements in the cost to purchasers of credit default swaps referenced to the BNP Paribas Group's debt obligations, which are influenced both by the credit quality of those obligations, and by a number of market factors that are beyond the control of the BNP Paribas Group.

5. RISKS RELATED TO THE MACROECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENT

5.1 Adverse economic and financial conditions have in the past and may in the future significantly affect the BNP Paribas Group and the markets in which it operates

The BNP Paribas Group's business is affected by changes in the financial markets and more generally by trends in economic conditions in France (25% of the Group's revenues at 31 December 2023), other countries in Europe (52% of the Group's revenues at 31 December 2023) and the rest of the world (23% of the Group's revenues at 31 December 2023). A deterioration or turbulence in the markets and/or the economic or political environment in the countries where the BNP Paribas Group operates has in the past had, and could again in the future have, various impacts including the following:

  • adverse economic conditions affecting the business and operations of the BNP Paribas Group's customers, reducing credit demand and trading volume and resulting in an increased rate of default on loans and other client receivables, in part as a result of the deterioration of the financial capacity of companies and households. Since the beginning of 2024, this risk has materialised in the form of slow or weak growth in various regions of the world and a risk of recession in certain regions (including the Eurozone) as a result, in particular, of the 2022 and 2023 interest rate increases as well as specific effects (e.g. the real estate crisis in China and the commercial real estate crisis in the United States), in line with the central scenario drawn up by the BNP Paribas Group's Economic Research unit, which assumes Eurozone and US GDP growth of 2.5% and 0.9%, respectively, in 2024, compared to growth of 2.5% and 0.6%, respectively, in 2023. Finally, in 2024, as in 2023, the global and Eurozone economies will be particularly sensitive to inflation and, consequently, to interest rates, as well as to the impact of geopolitical events;
  • a decline in market prices (or an increase in volatility) of bonds, equities and commodities affecting the businesses of the BNP Paribas Group, including in particular trading, Investment Banking and asset management revenues. Indeed, high volatility over a long period can lead to financial asset market corrections (particularly the riskiest assets) and thus generate losses for the BNP Paribas Group. In addition, a sudden change in the level and structure of volatility, or the rapid alternation of periods of strong market rises and falls over a shorter period, may make it difficult or more costly to hedge certain structured products, thereby increasing the risk of loss for the BNP Paribas Group;
  • macroeconomic or monetary policies adopted in response to actual or anticipated economic conditions could have consequences, anticipated or not, on market parameters such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, which in turn can affect the BNP Paribas Group's businesses that are most exposed to market risk. This risk, which was pronounced in 2023 due to the significant and rapid monetary tightening carried out by central banks in 2022 and 2023, remains relevant in 2024 (see section 5.2 Significant interest rate changes, and in particular the interest rate increases in 2022 and 2023 following a prolonged period of low interest rates, could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's results of operations and financial condition);
  • the favourable perception of economic conditions, whether globally or in specific sectors, can lead to the formation of speculative asset bubbles, and corrections when conditions change. This risk persists in 2024 after the recent monetary tightening, particularly in specific sectors such as commercial real estate and leveraged finance (see section 5.2 Significant interest rate changes, and in particular the rise in interest rates in 2022 and 2023 following a prolonged period of low interest rates, could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's results of operations and financial condition). For example, falling valuations and fewer transactions in the commercial real estate sector have been tightening financing conditions and increasing investor uncertainty in this market, which may affect the financial strength of market participants and hence asset quality. The BNP Paribas Group's gross on- and off-balance sheet exposure to commercial real estate represented 3.9% of its total onand off-balance sheet exposure as at 31 December 2023 and the BNP Paribas Group's exposureat-default ("EAD") represented 3.8% of its total EAD as at 31 December 2023. With regard to

commercial real estate in the United States, the BNP Paribas Group's EAD represented 0.09% of its total EAD as at 31 December 2023; and;

▪ significant one-off economic disruptions related to, or adverse economic consequences resulting from, various specific adverse political or geopolitical events (such as the global financial crisis of 2008, the European sovereign debt crisis of 2011, the recession caused, in 2020 and 2021, by the Covid-19 pandemic, or high inflation and rising interest rates as well as geopolitical shocks; for example, the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the emergence of conflict in the Middle East in 2023) having a substantial impact on all of the BNP Paribas Group's businesses, in particular by increasing the volatility and costs of funding sources, deteriorating asset quality and financial market corrections, potentially exacerbated by a reduction in market liquidity and hence the ability to sell certain categories of assets at fair market value or at all. These disruptions could also entail, in particular, a decline in transaction commissions and consumer loans by the effect, whether temporary or permanent, of geopolitical events on the economic conditions in which the BNP Paribas Group operates.

While by definition the occurrence of such adverse geopolitical events is difficult to predict, in 2024 they could include the worsening or extension of the conflict resulting from the invasion of Ukraine and in the Middle East, which could in particular affect the energy market and/or supply chains generally, the occurrence of a sovereign debt crisis (high level of public debt post-pandemic, rapid increase in (re)financing costs, aggravating exchange rate effects, particularly for borrowers exposed to the US dollar) and the materialisation of various political risks such as, for example, a deadlock in the US Congress or uncertainty linked to elections (2024 being a busy election year; as an illustration, the uncertainty resulting from the elections for the European Parliament and the ensuing snap legislative elections in France has created market volatility generally and in particular in the financial sector, and the U.S. presidential and legislative elections in November may be a source of market volatility).

5.2 Significant interest rate changes, and in particular the interest rate increases in 2022 and 2023 following a prolonged period of low interest rates, could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's results of operations and financial condition

Interest rates rose significantly in 2022 and 2023 after many years of low interest rates. In this context, the BNP Paribas Group's results have been, and could continue to be significantly affected in a number of ways. The increase in interest rates increases the cost of funding for the Group through higher interest rates on liabilities such as short-term deposits, commercial paper and bonds, as well as the risk of arbitrage by customers between non-interest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing deposits (compounded in France by policy decisions to increase rates on regulated savings, including to levels above the return received by banks on the same deposits). This increase in the cost of funding could create an imbalance and a reduction in net interest margin as a result of the BNP Paribas Group holding a significant portfolio of loans originated in a low interest rate environment. The Group may also have difficulty (in particular due to the usury rate in France) promptly reflecting higher interest rates in new mortgage or other fixed-rate consumer or corporate loans, while the cost of customer deposits and hedging costs would increase more rapidly. In addition, the ECB modified in 2022 and 2023 the instruments it used previously to implement "quantitative easing" and enhance bank liquidity, including, for example, the creation of a "transmission protection instrument" and the amendment of the conditions of its longer-term refinancing operations (TLTRO III); as the Group hedges its overall interest rate position, any change in the terms and conditions affecting these instruments may lead to adjustments in this hedge, which has had and could have an adverse impact on the results of the BNP Paribas Group. As a result of these adjustments, the BNP Paribas Group recorded an extraordinary charge of EUR 938 million against its net banking income at 31 December 2023.

Moreover, a portfolio comprising significant amounts of lower-interest loans and fixed-income assets as a result of an extended period of low interest rates would (in a rapidly rising market interest-rate environment) be expected to decline in value. If the Group's hedging strategies are ineffective or provide only a partial hedge against such a change in value, it could incur significant losses.

Higher interest rates increase financial expense for borrowers and may strain their ability to meet their debt obligations. Moreover, any rate increase that is sharper or more rapid than expected could threaten economic growth in the European Union, the United States and elsewhere. These effects could test the resilience of the BNP Paribas Group's loan and bond portfolios, which could lead to an increase in doubtful loans and defaults. More generally, the end of accommodating monetary policies, in particular by the US Federal Reserve and the ECB, has led, and could continue to lead, to sharp corrections in certain markets or assets (e.g., non-investment grade corporate and sovereign borrowers, certain sectors of equities and real estate, particularly commercial, and leveraged finance that particularly benefitted from the prolonged period of low interest rates and high liquidity and adversely affect market participants). For example, in early 2024, the commercial real estate crisis affected the share prices of many US regional banks, as well as the financial condition of some major real estate developers. More generally, such corrections could potentially be contagious to financial markets generally, including by the effect of substantially increased volatility and heightened investor mistrust, generally or in relation to certain sectors, including the banking sector due to its exposure to the commercial real estate market or other sectors particularly affected by rising interest rates. The BNP Paribas Group's operations could as a result be significantly disrupted with a consequential material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition

5.3 Given the global scope of its activities, the BNP Paribas Group is exposed to country risk and to changes in the political, macroeconomic or financial contexts of a region or country

The BNP Paribas Group monitors country risk and takes it into account in the fair value adjustments and cost of risk recorded in its consolidated financial statements. However, a significant change in political or macroeconomic environments may require it to record additional charges or to incur losses beyond the amounts previously written down in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, factors specific to a country or region in which the BNP Paribas Group operates could make it difficult for it to carry out its business and lead to losses or impairment of assets.

At 31 December 2023, the BNP Paribas Group's loan portfolio consisted of receivables from borrowers located in France (33%), Belgium and Luxembourg (16%), Italy (10%), other European countries (21%), North America, (9%), Asia (6%) and the rest of the world (5%). Adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions that particularly affect these countries and regions would have a significant impact on the BNP Paribas Group. For example, the introduction by the Polish government in July 2022 of a law allowing borrowers under mortgage loans, generally at variable rates, to suspend payments for eight months in the 2022-2024 period led the Group (operating in Poland through BNP Paribas Bank Polska) to record an exceptional negative impact of EUR 204 million in the third quarter of 2022. As another example, hyperinflation in Türkiye negatively affected the 2023 results of the BNP Paribas Group. Moreover, the BNP Paribas Group has significant exposures in countries outside the OECD, which are subject to risks that include political instability, unpredictable regulation and taxation, expropriation and other risks that are less present in more developed economies.

In addition, the BNP Paribas Group is present in Ukraine, through its subsidiary UkrSibbank, in which it holds a 60% stake alongside the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (40%). Certain restrictions previously imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine were lifted, thereby allowing the BNP Paribas Group to satisfy once more the conditions required for establishing control, as defined under IFRS 10, from 1 January 2024. This had the effect of changing the consolidation method for UkrSibbank from the equity method, which had been applied as from 1 March 2022, to the full consolidation method.

With regard to Russia, which is subject to extensive economic sanctions imposed in particular by the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom, gross on- and off- balance sheet exposures of the BNP Paribas Group to this country represented 0.03% of the BNP Paribas Group's gross exposures on- and off- balance sheet at 31 December 2023. The Group is diligently monitoring developments in the situation in conjunction with the authorities concerned and, in particular, the reactions of the international community with regard to economic sanctions

6. REGULATORY RISKS

6.1 Laws and regulations adopted in recent years, as well as current and future legislative and regulatory developments, may significantly impact the BNP Paribas Group and the financial and economic environment in which it operates

Laws and regulations taking effect in recent years in the jurisdictions in which the BNP Paribas Group operates (in particular in France, Europe and the United States) have substantially changed, and in the future could potentially continue to substantially change, the environment in which the BNP Paribas Group and other financial institutions operate.

The most recent measures applicable to financial institutions such as the BNP Paribas Group include in particular :

  • more stringent "prudential" (i.e. capital solvency, liquidity) requirements, in particular for global systemically important banks, such as the BNP Paribas Group, and under the 26 June 2013 Regulation of the European Parliament and Council (as amended from time to time, the "CRR"), as well as changes to the risk-weighting methodologies and methods of using internal models that have led and could lead to increased capital requirements;
  • in respect of minimum capital requirements, the European Commission adopted in October 2021 a legislative package to finalise the implementation within the European Union of the Basel III agreement adopted by the Group of Central Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS). In the impact assessment accompanying this legislative package, the European Commission estimated, on the basis of an EBA impact study dated December 2020 and of additional European Commission estimates for some EU specific adjustments, that the implementation of the final Basel III standards may result in an average increase in total minimum capital requirements ranging between 6.4% and 8.4% after full implementation of the reform. Upon completion of the legislative process, were adopted (i) a regulation amending the CRR which shall apply from 1 January 2025, with a phase-in period during which the requirements will be gradually increased through 2030 (and 2032 for certain requirements) and (ii) a directive amending the 26 June 2013 Capital Requirements Directive of the European Parliament and Council which shall be applied by Member States from 11 January 2026 (subject to certain exceptions). These new texts entered into force in July 2024. The Group estimates that the finalisation of Basel IV on 1 January 2025 will result in a 50 basis point decrease in its CET1 ratio (excluding the effect from application of the Basel III fundamental review of the trading book (FRTB) standards for EU banks' calculation of their own funds requirements for market risk, which was postponed until 1 January 2026). This estimate is subject to change depending on potential changes in the Group and the macroeconomic context;
  • strengthening of the powers of existing supervisory bodies and the creation of new supervisory authorities, for example under the Single Resolution Mechanism (the "SRM") placing the BNP Paribas Group under the direct supervision of the ECB;
  • enhancement of recovery and resolution regimes, in particular the adoption of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive of 15 May 2014, as amended from time to time (the "BRRD"), in order to ensure that losses are borne largely by creditors and shareholders of banks and to thus minimise losses borne by taxpayers;
  • establishment of national resolution funds by the BRRD and the creation of the Single Resolution Board (the "SRB") by the European Parliament and Council of the European Union in a resolution dated 15 July 2014 (as amended from time to time, the "SRM Regulation"), which is authorised to initiate resolution proceedings for banking institutions such as the BNP Paribas Group, and the Single Resolution Fund (the "SRF"), funded via annual contributions from financial institutions. In 2023, the BNP Paribas Group's contribution was EUR 1,002 million;
  • prohibitions or restrictions on fees for certain types of financial products or activities;
  • establishment of national deposit guarantee schemes and a proposed European deposit guarantee scheme or deposit insurance which will gradually cover all or part of the guarantee schemes of participating countries;
  • increased internal control, risk management and reporting requirements with respect to certain activities;
  • implementation of regulatory stress tests (including in relation to climate change risk) which could lead to additional regulatory capital requirements (see Market Risk Stress Testing Framework in section 5.7 Market risk of this Universal Registration Document at 31 December 2023);
    • Greater powers granted to the relevant authorities to combat money laundering and terrorism financing, in particular through the creation of a new European authority for countering money laundering and financing of terrorism which will start its operations in mid-2025, established through a new regulation adopted by the Council in May 2024 and will apply from 1 July 2025 (subject to certain exceptions);
  • more stringent governance and conduct of business rules and restrictions and increased taxes on employee compensation over specified levels;
  • changes in securities regulation, in particular of financial instruments (including shares and other securities issued by entities of the BNP Paribas Group); measures to improve the transparency, efficiency and integrity of financial markets and in particular the regulation of high frequency trading, more extensive market abuse regulations, increased regulation of certain types of financial products including mandatory reporting of derivative and securities financing transactions, requirements either to mandatorily clear, otherwise mitigate risks in relation to, over-the-counter derivative transactions (including through posting of collateral in respect of non-centrally cleared derivatives;
  • regulations of market infrastructures such as trading platforms, clearing houses, central depositories and securities delivery and settlement systems;
  • introduction of enhanced disclosure requirements, including through the introduction of new disclosure requirements (i) on how banking groups providing asset management services such as the BNP Paribas Group integrate sustainability risks or negative impacts, sustainable investment objectives or the promotion of environmental or social attributes when making investment decisions, (ii) on how and to what extent banking groups themselves finance or develop economic activities that can be considered environmentally sustainable as defined in the European Taxonomy and (iii) in terms of sustainability, certified by an independent third party, making it possible to analyse the impact of the BNP Paribas Group's business on ESG issues and the manner in which these issues affect its business, its results of operations and its financial condition, in accordance with the texts transposing the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (the "CSRD"), applicable progressively since 1 January 2024;
  • strengthened transparency and disclosure requirements on CSR risk management, including physical and transitional risks related to climate change, and the introduction of new requirements for the integration of climate risk into the risk measurement and management systems of banking groups, including through the publication of proposals for banks to manage and disclose climate risk; and
  • multiplication of measures that are not specific to financial institutions, such as measures relating to the investment fund sector or those promoting technological innovation such as "open data" access, the development of the regulation of payment services, crowdfunding and fintechs.

Existing measures, as well as those (by definition unpredictable) which could be adopted in the future, could in particular reduce the BNP Paribas Group's ability to allocate and apply its capital and financing resources, limit its ability to diversify its risks, reduce the availability of certain financing and liquidity resources, increase the cost of financing, increase the cost of compliance, increase the cost or reduce the demand for its products and services, require it to effect internal reorganisations, structural changes or reallocations, affect its ability to conduct certain activities or to attract and/or retain talent, facilitate

the entry of new players in the financial services sector or affect the business model of the BNP Paribas Group and, more generally, affect its competitiveness and profitability, which could have a significant impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

6.2 The BNP Paribas Group may incur substantial fines and other administrative and criminal penalties for non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and may also incur losses in related (or unrelated) litigation with private parties

The BNP Paribas Group is subject to regulatory compliance risk. This risk is exacerbated by the adoption by different countries of multiple and occasionally diverging and even conflicting legal or regulatory requirements. Besides damage to the BNP Paribas Group's reputation and private rights of action (including class actions), non-compliance could lead to material legal proceedings, fines and expenses (including fines and expenses in excess of recorded provisions), public reprimand, enforced suspension of operations or, in extreme cases, withdrawal by the authorities of operating licences. This risk is further exacerbated by continuously increasing regulatory scrutiny of financial institutions as well as substantial increases in the quantum of applicable fines and penalties. Moreover, litigation by private parties against financial institutions has substantially increased in recent years. Accordingly, the BNP Paribas Group faces significant legal risk in its operations. The volume and amount of damages claimed in litigation, regulatory proceedings and other adversarial proceedings against financial services firms have substantially increased in recent years and may increase further. The BNP Paribas Group may record provisions in this respect as indicated in note 4.k Provisions for contingencies and charges to the consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.

Regarding the Cease and Desist Order issued jointly by the French Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution and the US Federal Reserve Board of Governors on 30 June 2014, related to violations by the Bank of US laws and regulations on economic sanctions (which resulted among other things in a fine of USD 8.9 billion), the Secrétariat Général de l'Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution informed BNP Paribas on 19 January 2024 of its conclusion that the Group had fully complied with the provisions of the Cease and Desist Order and that it would no longer monitor the BNP Paribas Group's compliance. On 6 February 2024, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors also announced the termination of the Cease and Desist Order and a related enforcement action.

The BNP Paribas Group is also currently involved in various litigations and investigations as summarised in note 7.c Legal proceedings and arbitration to the consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024. It may become involved in other litigation or investigations at any time. No assurance can be given that an adverse outcome in one or more of such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the BNP Paribas Group's operating results for any particular period

6.3 The BNP Paribas Group could experience an unfavourable change in circumstances, causing it to become subject to a resolution proceeding or a restructuring independently of and/or before resolution: BNP Paribas Group security holders could suffer losses as a result

The BRRD, the Ordinances of 20 August 2015 and 21 December 2020 transposing it, and the SRM Regulation as amended from time to time, confer upon the ACPR or the SRB the power to commence resolution proceedings for a banking institution, such as the BNP Paribas Group, with a view to ensure the continuity of critical functions, to avoid the risks of contagion and to recapitalise or restore the viability of the institution. These powers must be implemented so as to ensure that losses, subject to certain exceptions, are borne first by shareholders, then by holders of additional capital instruments qualifying as Tier 1 (such as super subordinated bonds) and Tier 2 (such as subordinated bonds), then by the holders of senior non-preferred debt and finally by the holders of senior preferred debt, all in accordance with the insolvency ranking in normal insolvency proceedings. For reference, the BNP Paribas Group's medium- to long-term wholesale financing at 30 June 2024 consisted of the following: EUR 15.0 billion in hybrid Tier 1 debt, EUR 21.1 billion in Tier 2 subordinated debt, EUR 1.9 billion in subordinated debt not included in own funds, EUR 72.6 billion in senior unsecured non-preferred debt, EUR 103.9 billion in senior unsecured preferred debt and EUR 13.7 billion in senior secured debt.

Resolution authorities have broad powers to implement resolution measures with respect to institutions and groups subject to resolution proceedings, which may include (without limitation): the total or partial sale of the institution's business to a third party or a bridge institution, the separation of assets, the replacement or substitution of the institution as obligor in respect of debt instruments, the full or partial write-down of capital instruments and/or debt instruments, the conversion into common equity tier 1 instruments of additional tier 1 instruments, tier 2 instruments and/or debt instruments, the dilution of capital instruments through the issuance of new equity, modifications to the terms of debt instruments (including altering the maturity and/or the amount of interest payable and/or imposing a temporary suspension on payments), discontinuing the listing and admission to trading of financial instruments, the dismissal of managers or the appointment of a special manager (administrateur spécial). In addition, the resolution authorities must exercise the full or partial writedown of capital instruments or the conversion into equity of additional capital instruments qualifying as tier 1 (such as super-subordinated bonds) and tier 2 (such as subordinated bonds) before the opening of a resolution proceeding if the conditions for initiating it are met.

Moreover, certain powers, including the full or partial write-down of capital instruments, the dilution of capital instruments through the issuance of new equity or the conversion into equity of additional capital instruments qualifying as Tier 1 (such as super-subordinated bonds) and Tier 2 (such as subordinated bonds), can also be exercised before resolution proceedings and/or independently thereof, such as pursuant to the European Commission's State Aid framework if the institution requires exceptional public financial support.

The implementation of these tools and powers with respect to the BNP Paribas Group may result in significant structural changes to the BNP Paribas Group (including as a result of asset or business sales or the creation of bridge institutions) and in a partial or total write-down, modification or variation of claims of shareholders and creditors. Such powers may also result, after any transfer of all or part of the BNP Paribas Group's business or separation of any of its assets, in the holders of securities (even in the absence of any such writedown or conversion) being left as the creditors of the BNP Paribas Group whose remaining business or assets are insufficient to support the claims of all or any of the creditors of the Group

7. RISKS RELATED TO THE BNP PARIBAS GROUP'S GROWTH IN ITS CURRENT ENVIRONMENT

7.1 Should the BNP Paribas Group fail to implement its strategic objectives or to achieve its published financial objectives, or should its results not follow stated expected trends, the trading price of its securities could be adversely affected

In connection with the publication of its results for the year ended 31 December 2021, the BNP Paribas Group announced its 2025 strategic plan. The plan includes financial and operational objectives. In connection with the publication of its results for the year ended 31 December 2023 the Group revised its objectives for 2025 to take into account the deterioration of the macroeconomic environment, particularly in Europe, the negative effect of European public policy decisions and the trajectory of certain business lines particularly affected by the current cycle. The BNP Paribas Group's actual results could vary significantly from these trends for a number of reasons, including the materialisation of one or more of the risks described in this section. If the BNP Paribas Group's results do not follow these trends, its financial condition and the price of its securities, as well as its financing costs, could be affected.

Additionally, the Group is pursuing an ambitious corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy and is committed to making a positive impact on society with concrete achievements. In 2022, the BNP Paribas Group strengthened its commitment to a sustainable economy and accelerated decarbonation strategies, with the signing of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance, and the Net-Zero Asset Manager initiative. The Group is thus taking strong positions, as a founding member of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Banking, which commits it to align its strategy with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As part of the Group's 2022-2025 strategic plan, it aims to mobilise EUR 350 billion in ESG- related loans and bond issuances (loans to companies, institutions and individuals covering environmental and social issues and annual sustainable bonds issuances) and to have EUR 300 billion in sustainable responsible investments under management by 2025 (BNP Paribas Asset Management European open funds classified articles 8 and 9 as defined by SFDR). In addition, in 2019, as part of the fight against climate change, the BNP Paribas Group made new commitments to reduce its exposure to thermal coal to zero by 2030 in the OECD and by 2040 for the rest of the world. At the end of 2022, the BNP Paribas Group published its first climate alignment report and its targets for reducing carbon emission intensity by 2025 and is taking the necessary measures to align its credit portfolios with its carbon neutrality commitments. Finally, in January 2023, the Group strengthened its social commitment policy and is working alongside its clients as part of a global approach to the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. Building on the expertise developed through the Low-Carbon Transition Group, the Group announced new objectives that will result in an acceleration in the financing of low-carbon energy production and a reduction in the financing of fossil fuel production by 2030. If the Group fails to meet these targets, which depend in part on factors beyond its control, its reputation could be affected

7.2 The BNP Paribas Group may experience difficulties integrating businesses following acquisition transactions and may be unable to realise the benefits expected from such transactions

The BNP Paribas Group regularly undertakes merger and acquisition transactions. It has in particular announced its intention to allocate part of the proceeds from the sale of Bank of the West to acquisitions. The BNP Paribas Group's most recent major such transactions were the integration of Deutsche Bank's Prime Brokerage & Electronic Execution platform in 2019, the acquisition of 100% of Exane, previously 50% owned by BNP Paribas, in 2021, the acquisition of 100% of Floa in 2022 and the acquisition of Kantox in 2023. Successful integration and the realisation of synergies require, among other things, proper coordination of business development and marketing efforts, retention of key members of management, policies for effective recruitment and training as well as the ability to adapt information and computer systems. Any difficulties encountered in combining operations could result in higher integration costs and lower savings or revenues than expected. There will accordingly be uncertainty as to the extent to which anticipated synergies will be achieved and the timing of their realisation. Moreover, the integration of the BNP Paribas Group's existing operations with those of the acquired operations could interfere with its respective businesses and divert management's attention from other aspects of the BNP Paribas Group's business, which could have a negative impact on the BNP Paribas Group's business and results. In some cases, moreover, disputes relating to acquisitions may have an adverse impact on the integration process or have other adverse consequences, including financial ones.

Although the BNP Paribas Group undertakes an in-depth analysis of the companies it plans to acquire, such analyses often cannot be complete or exhaustive. In the event that the BNP Paribas Group is unable to conduct comprehensive due diligence prior to an acquisition, it may acquire doubtful or troubled assets or businesses that may be unprofitable or have certain potential risks that only materialise after the acquisition, The acquisition of an unprofitable business or a business with materialised risks may have a significant adverse effect on the BNP Paribas Group's overall profitability and may increase its liabilities

7.3 The BNP Paribas Group's current environment may be affected by the intense competition amongst banking and non-banking operators, which could adversely affect the BNP Paribas Group's revenues and profitability

Competition is intense in all of the BNP Paribas Group's primary business areas in France and the other countries in which it conducts a substantial portion of its business, including other European countries and the United States. Competition in the banking industry could intensify as a result of consolidation in the financial services area, as a result of the presence of new players in the payment and the financing services area or the development of crowdfunding platforms, as well as the continuing evolution of consumer habits in the banking sector. While the BNP Paribas Group has launched initiatives in these areas, such as the debut of Hello bank! and its acquisition of Nickel or Floa, competitors subject to less extensive regulatory requirements or to less strict capital requirements (e.g. debt funds, shadow banks), or benefiting from economies of scale, data synergies, technological innovation (e.g. Internet and mobile operators, digital platforms, fintechs), or free access to customer financial data could be more competitive by offering lower prices and more innovative services to address the new needs of consumers. New technologies that facilitate or transform transaction processes and payment systems, such as blockchain technologies and related services, or that could significantly impact the fundamental mechanisms of the banking system, such as central bank digital currencies, have been developed in recent years or could be developed in the near future. While it is difficult to predict the effects of these developments and the regulations that apply to them, the use of such technology could nevertheless reduce the market share of banks, including the BNP Paribas Group, secure investments that otherwise would have used technology used by more established financial institutions, such as the BNP Paribas Group or, more broadly, lead to the emergence of a different monetary system in which the attractiveness of using established financial institutions such as the BNP Paribas Group would be affected. If such developments continue to gain momentum, particularly with the support of governments and central banks, if the BNP Paribas Group is unable to respond to the competitive environment in France or in its other major markets by offering more attractive, innovative and profitable product and service solutions than those offered by current competitors or new entrants or if some of these activities were to be carried out by institutions other than banks, it may lose market share in key areas of its business or incur losses on some or all of its activities. In addition, downturns in the economies of its principal markets could add to the competitive pressure, through, for example, increased price pressure and lower business volumes for the BNP Paribas Group and its competitors. It is also possible that the imposition of more stringent requirements (particularly capital requirements and business restrictions) on large or systemically significant financial institutions that new players may not be subject to could lead to distortions in competition in a manner adverse to large private-sector institutions such as the BNP Paribas Group.

7.4 The BNP Paribas Group could experience business disruption and losses due to risks related to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues, particularly relating to climate change, such as transition risks, physical risks or liability risks

The BNP Paribas Group is exposed to risks related to climate change, either directly through its own operations or indirectly through its financing and investment activities. There are two main types of risks related to climate change: (i) transition risks, which result from changes in the behaviour of economic and financial actors in response to the implementation of energy policies or technological changes for a transition to a low-carbon economy; and (ii) physical risks, which result from the direct impact of climate change on people and property through extreme weather events or long-term risks such as rising water levels or increasing temperatures. Physical risk can spread throughout the value chain of the BNP Paribas Group's clients, which can lead to a payment default and thus generate financial losses, while the process of reducing emissions is likely to have a significant impact on all sectors of the economy by affecting the value of financial assets and corporate profits.

In addition, liability risks may flow from both categories of risk. They correspond to the financial compensation that can be claimed by individuals, companies, governments or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that may be affected by climate change events, activities or effects and who would seek to hold actors in the financial sector accountable for financing, facilitating or otherwise contributing to such events, activities, or effects. In recent years, activism by shareholders, activist funds, NGOs and others, particularly on ESG issues, has been directed against many public companies. These initiatives include requiring companies to disclose material information about their ESG-related actions and commitments and, in some cases, seeking to force them to make strategic and business changes. In some jurisdictions, financial sector actors may also face legal action from individuals, companies, governments or NGOs, groups or private persons.

Policy and regulatory initiatives and frameworks, including at the French, European Union and international levels, concerning climate change and sustainability, as well as voluntary and joint commitments through industry alliances, create increasing legal, regulatory and reputational risks. The ESG regulatory framework is constantly changing, evolving and continuing to evolve rapidly. It includes, among other things, requirements in terms of disclosure and the integration of climate risks into risk measurement and management systems, as well as a general duty of care (see section 6.1 Laws and regulations adopted in recent years, as well as current and future legislative and regulatory developments, may significantly impact the BNP Paribas Group and the financial and economic environment in which it operates). These initiatives and frameworks overlap in some respects and are not always consistent in their objectives, resulting in regulatory complexity and, in some cases, a lack of clarity and difficulty in interpretation. Non-compliance by the Group in its business and disclosure with these and other regulatory requirements, as well as any other regulations concerning the transition to a lower carbon economy, climate change, sustainability or energy-related investments, could have a negative impact on its business, the value of its investments and its reputation.

BNP Paribas does not consider ESG risks as a stand-alone risk category, but rather as factors affecting various risk categories such as credit, market and operational risks. Accordingly, the BNP Paribas Group is progressively integrating the assessment of these risks into its risk management system. As explained in detail in section 7 of this Universal Registration Document at 31 December 2023, ESG risk factors, including the subset of climate and environmental risk factors, are among the risk factors taken into account by contributors to the Group's risk identification process and to which they apply a risk assessment based on short- to medium-term (three or four years) as well as long-term scenarios. In addition, to enhance its 2023 risk identification process, the Group identified several major risk trends or threats that are directly or indirectly linked to climate change and that must be considered when updating the Group Risk Inventory. These trends and threats include the evolutions in insurance and reinsurance markets; customers' expectations regarding climate-related concerns and the impact of consumerism; investors' financial expectations in the context of increased climate and environmental risks; updated assessments of the economic impact of climate change and energy transition; demand-supply gaps for natural resources; risks induced by ecosystems collapse and damage to ecosystem services; threats to health and resistance of pathogenic agents; the focus on banks' role in ESG matters and related reputational risks; and widening inequalities, societal polarisation and social unrest related to climate and environmental issues. The Group monitors these risks in the conduct of its business, in the conduct of its counterparties' business, and in its investments on its own behalf and on behalf of third parties. In this respect, the specific credit policies and the General Credit Policy have been enhanced as from 2012 and 2014, respectively, with the addition of clauses relating to social and environmental responsibility. In addition, the development of regulatory requirements in this area could lead to an increase in litigation against financial institutions in relation to climate change and other related issues. The Group could thus be held liable for transaction execution failings such as inadequate assessment of the environmental, social and governance criteria of certain financial products.

In addition, sector-specific policies including to rule out financing certain sectors defined by ESG criteria have also been implemented and the BNP Paribas Group will have to adapt its business and in particular its counterparty screening accordingly in order to achieve its strategic objectives (see section 7.1 Should the BNP Paribas Group fail to implement its strategic objectives or to achieve its published financial objectives, or should its results not follow stated expected trends, the trading price of its securities could be adversely affected). Specifically, by way of example, the results of the Group's ESG analysis may lead it to withdraw from a client relationship (unsatisfactory results), place a client relationship under review and regular monitoring (intermediate results), or enter into a new (or continue an existing) client relationship (satisfactory results). Similarly, the Group's assessment of the effectiveness of ESG risk management at the investee entity may lead it to divest from existing investments or affect its decision whether to make new investments. Notwithstanding its efforts to combat climate change and monitor the related risks, the physical, transitional or liability risks related to climate change, or any delay or failure to implement ESG risk management, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition or reputation

7.5 Changes in certain holdings in credit or financial institutions could have an impact on the BNP Paribas Group's financial position

Certain classes of assets may carry a high risk-weight of 250%. They include credit or financial institutions consolidated under the equity method within the prudential scope (excluding insurance); significant financial interest in credit or financial institutions in which the BNP Paribas Group holds a stake of more than 10%; and deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and arise from temporary differences.

The risk-weighted assets carrying a risk-weight of 250% amounted to EUR 19 billion at 31 December 2023, or 3% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group. They amounted to EUR 20 billion at 31 December 2022, or 3% of the Group's total risk-weighted assets, and to EUR 20 billion at 30 June 2024, or 3% of the total risk-weighted assets of the BNP Paribas Group. If the BNP Paribas Group increases the amount of high risk-weighted assets (either by increasing the proportion of such high risk-weighted assets in its overall asset portfolio or due to an increase of the regulatory riskweighting applicable to these assets), its capital adequacy ratios may be lowered.

7.3 Significant change

Save as disclosed in this amendment to the 2023 Universal Registration Document, there has been no significant change in the Group's financial position or financial performance since 30 June 2024, and no material adverse change in the prospects of BNPP since the end of the last financial period for which audited financial information has been published.

To the best of the Group's knowledge, there have not been any recent events which are to a material extent relevant to the evaluation of BNPP's solvency since 30 June 2024.

7.4 Contingent liabilities: legal proceedings and arbitration

BNP Paribas (the "Bank") is party as a defendant in various claims, disputes and legal proceedings (including investigations by judicial or supervisory authorities) in a number of jurisdictions arising in the ordinary course of its business, including inter alia in connection with its activities as market counterparty, lender, employer, investor and taxpayer.

The related risks have been assessed by the Bank and are subject, where appropriate, to provisions disclosed in note 4.k Provisions for contingencies and charges; a provision is recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle an obligation arising from a past event and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The main contingent liabilities related to pending legal, governmental, or arbitral proceedings as of 30 June, 2024 are described below. The Bank currently considers that none of these proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or profitability; however, the outcome of legal or governmental proceedings is by definition unpredictable.

The Bank and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in several actions pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York brought by the Trustee appointed for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC ("BLMIS"). These actions, known generally as "clawback claims", are similar to those brought by the BLMIS Trustee under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and New York state law against numerous institutions, and seek recovery of amounts allegedly received by BNP Paribas entities from BLMIS or indirectly through BLMIS-related "feeder funds" in which BNP Paribas entities held interests.

As a result of certain decisions of the Bankruptcy Court and the United States District Court between 2016 and 2018, the majority of the BLMIS Trustee's actions were either dismissed or substantially narrowed. However, those decisions were either reversed or effectively overruled by subsequent decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued on 25 February 2019 and 30 August 2021. As a result, the BLMIS Trustee refiled certain of these actions and, as of end May 2023, had asserted claims amounting in the aggregate to approximately USD 1.2 billion. As of end June 2024, following the dismissal of certain of the BLMIS Trustee's actions or claims, the aggregate amount of the claims stood at approximately USD 1.1 billion. BNP Paribas has substantial and credible defenses to these actions and is defending against them vigorously.

Litigation was brought in Belgium by minority shareholders of the previous Fortis Group against the Société fédérale de Participations et d'Investissement, Ageas and BNP Paribas seeking (amongst other things) damages from BNP Paribas as restitution for part of the BNP Paribas Fortis shares that were contributed to BNP Paribas in 2009, on the ground that the transfer of these shares was null and void. On 29 April 2016, the Brussels Commercial court decided to stay the proceedings until the resolution of the pending Fortis criminal proceeding in Belgium. The criminal proceeding, in which the Public Prosecutor had requested a dismissal, is definitively closed, as the Council Chamber of the Brussels Court of first instance issued on 4 September 2020 a ruling (which since became final) that the charges were time-barred. Certain minority shareholders are continuing the civil proceedings against BNP Paribas and the Société fédérale de Participations et d'Investissement before the Brussels Commercial court; BNP Paribas continues to defend itself vigorously against the allegations of these shareholders. Hearings on the matter before the Brussels Commercial court are scheduled for September and October 2024.

On 26 February 2020, the Paris Criminal Court found BNP Paribas Personal Finance guilty of misleading commercial practice and concealment of this practice. BNP Paribas Personal Finance was ordered to pay a fine of EUR 187,500 and damages and legal fees to the civil plaintiffs. On 28 November 2023, the Paris Court of Appeals upheld the Paris Criminal Court's decision relating to misleading commercial practice and the concealment of those practices. As for the damages owed to the civil plaintiffs, though the Paris Court of Appeals adjusted the calculation methodology, the majority of the damages had already been paid by provisional enforcement of the Paris Criminal Court's judgment. An agreement was also entered into with the Consommation Logement Cadre de Vie association to settle the case with customers wishing to do so.

Like many other financial institutions in the banking, investment, mutual funds and brokerage sectors, the Bank has received or may receive requests for information from, or be subject to investigations by supervisory, governmental or self-regulatory agencies. The Bank responds to such requests, and cooperates with the relevant authorities and regulators and seeks to address and remedy any issues that may arise.

In 2023, BNP Paribas premises (along with those of other financial institutions) were searched by the French financial prosecutor's office; BNP Paribas was informed that the office had opened a preliminary investigation relating to French securities transactions.

There are no other legal, governmental or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which the Bank is aware) that may have or have had, in the previous twelve months, any significant effects on the Bank's financial position or the profitability of the Bank and/or the BNP Paribas Group.
