At its August 3rd 2010 meeting, the Board of Directors of Societe Generale approved the financial statements for Q2 and H1 2010. With Group net income of EUR 1.08 billion in Q2 2010 (EUR 2.15 billion in H1), Societe Generale has confirmed its rebound.
The Group
- has demonstrated its commercial dynamism in its domestic market and benefited from the diversification of its international retail banking operation,
- continues to see a gradual recovery in the earnings of Specialised Financial Services' activities as well as the Private Banking, Global Investment Management and Services division, and
- has provided further evidence of the resilience of its market activities and the commercial dynamism of its financing offerings in Corporate and Investment Banking.
Frédéric Oudéa, the Group's Chairman and CEO, has stated: "H1 2010 testifies to the Group's new commercial momentum with an excellent performance from Retail Banking activities and a satisfactory contribution to the results from Corporate and Investment Banking despite a challenging market environment. The results published today confirm Societe Generale's rebound, while the company's transformation programme, presented to the market on June 15th, is already under way, with the first portfolio arbitrages and the launch of projects for the sharing of information systems. In a macroeconomic environment in the process of stabilising, I am more than ever confident of the Group's ability to achieve the objectives of its Ambition 2015 plan."
The economic recovery which began at end-2009 is growing stronger. However, it remains fragile with the strength of the recovery varying across geographical regions. In Europe, in particular, growth prospects remain moderate and, with the ongoing Greek crisis, a climate of substantial mistrust in relation to the sovereign debt of the most fragile European countries and the euro zone as a whole has spread to the financial and interbank markets.
In order to restore confidence in the European banking system, European regulators published (on July 23rd) the results of stress tests for 91 European banks as well as their exposure to sovereign issuers. This transparency exercise provided confirmation of the financial solidity of the vast majority of European banks, including the four main French banks, which had already proved their resilience during the recent crisis. The quality of Societe Generale's portfolio of activities, in particular, is demonstrated with an estimated Tier 1 ratio under stress at end-2011 of 10%. Moreover, initial responses have been provided concerning the new banking regulatory framework "Basel III". However, crucial factors such as the ultimate calibration for capital requirements will only be known towards the end of the year.

Net banking income
Buoyed by still strong commercial activity, especially in retail banking (France, Mediterranean Basin) and in the structured financing markets, Societe Generale's core businesses generally posted satisfactory performances in Q2 2010, with revenues of EUR 6.4 billion (EUR 13.0 billion for H1). After a very satisfactory Q1 2010, the French Networks provided further evidence of their commercial momentum and generated net banking income up +5.7%1 vs. Q2 09 at EUR 1.9 billion in Q2 10 (EUR 3.8 billion in H1 10, or +6.3%1 vs. H1 09). This increase has made it possible to confirm the target announced at the beginning of the year of around 3%1 revenue growth for full-year 2010. Capitalising on a presence in different geographical regions with growth potential, International Retail Banking posted revenues up +4.3% vs. Q2 09 (+2.8% vs. H1 09) with, in particular, the first signs of recovery in Russia. Specialised Financial Services and Insurance as well as Private Banking, Global Investment Management and Services continued to pursue the targeted expansion of their operating infrastructure and generated revenues of respectively EUR 0.9 billion and EUR 0.6 billion in Q2 10 (or EUR 1.8 billion and EUR 1.1 billion of revenues in H1 10). The very deteriorated environment in Q2 2010, notably in the equity derivatives market, impacted the performance of Corporate and Investment Banking activities. Accordingly, the Q2 revenues of its core activities amounted to EUR 1.7 billion. Against this backdrop, Societe Generale maintained its prudent strategy of reducing market risks.
Finally, at EUR 239 million in Q2 10, the Corporate Centre's net banking income included the accounting effect (EUR +254 million) of the revaluation of Societe Generale's financial liabilities.
Operating expenses
The Group's operating expenses were down -3.9%* vs. Q2 09 (stable* vs. H1 09) at EUR 4.1 billion in Q2 (EUR 8.1 billion in H1), as a result of a policy to strictly control expenditure and improve operating management.
Societe Generale's Q2 10 cost to income ratio was 60.9% (vs. 71.9% in Q2 09), with a comparable level for H1 (vs. 74.2% in H1 09). When restated for purely accounting effects recorded in the
1 Excluding the effect of the PEL/CEL provision
Corporate Centre (revaluation of debts linked specifically to the Group's credit risk and credit derivative instruments used to hedge the loans and receivables portfolios), there is an improvement in the H1 10 cost to income ratio (62.5%) of 2 points vs. H1 09.
Operating income
With core businesses contributing EUR 2.5 billion in Q2, the Group's gross operating income totalled EUR 2.6 billion in Q2 10, substantially higher than in Q2 09 (+54.0%*). Gross operating income also saw growth of +1.3% compared with Q1 10 (a quarter marked by a more favourable environment in Corporate and Investment Banking).
The trend in H1 gross operating income was just as significant, with growth of +84.0%* compared with the first 6 months of 2009 to EUR 5.2 billion.
The Group's cost of risk (excluding legacy assets) was slightly lower than in the previous quarter (87 basis points in Q2 10 vs. 91 basis points in Q1 10). The first signs of improvement identified in Q1 10 were confirmed in Q2 10. This ongoing trend should result in a moderate decline in the cost of risk in H2.
- At EUR -216 million (52 basis points), the French Networks' net cost of risk remains high for SME business customers. The loss rate for individual customers is still low.
- International Retail Banking's cost of risk was generally lower in Q2 10 (192 basis points) vs. the previous quarter (225 basis points) which included, in particular, a collective provision (EUR -101 million) for Greece. The cost of risk was still high for Greece in Q2, albeit to a lesser extent. The increase in Romania's cost of risk, mainly through a EUR -21 million collective provision to take account of the country's economic prospects, is largely offset by the decline recorded in the Czech Republic and, to a lesser extent, in Russia. The cost of risk in other regions remains contained.
- Specialised Financial Services' Q2 cost of risk remained stable at 234 basis points (vs. 237 basis points in Q1 10). The cost of risk continued to decline for equipment finance but remained high for consumer finance.
- The net cost of risk of EUR -45 million (10 basis points) provided further evidence of the excellent resilience of Corporate and Investment Banking's corporate client portfolio. Legacy assets generated a moderate impact in Q2 with a net cost of risk of EUR -97 million. On these bases, the estimated overall full-year impact of this portfolio is expected to come in at the bottom of the envisaged range for the year (between EUR -0.7 and -1.0 billion).
The Group generated total operating income of EUR 1.6 billion in Q2 (x3.0 vs. Q2 09). The figure was EUR 3.1 billion in H1 (x9.7 vs. H1 09).
Net income
Group net income1 totalled EUR 1,084 million in Q2 10, up +2.0% vs. Q1 10 (x3.5 vs. Q2 09). When restated for the accounting effect related to the revaluation of the Group's financial liabilities, Group net income comes out at EUR 918 million for Q2.
The Group's ROE after tax was 10.9% in Q2 (9.1% excluding the impact of the Group's financial liabilities).
Group net income amounted to EUR 2,147 million in H1, resulting in ROE after tax of 11.0% (9.7% excluding the impact of the Group's financial liabilities).
Earnings per share amounts to EUR 2.75 in H1, after deducting the interest to be paid to holders of deeply subordinated notes and undated subordinated notes.
1 It includes a tax expense (the Group's effective tax rate was 27.1% in Q2) and minority interests.
2. THE GROUP'S FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
Group shareholders' equity totalled EUR 45.2 billion 1 at June 30th, 2010 and net asset value per share was EUR 52.3 (including EUR -0.58 of unrealised capital losses).
The Group purchased 2.8 million Societe Generale shares in H1 2010 (including 0.8 million in Q2 10). As a result, at end-June 2010, it possessed, directly and indirectly, 21.3 million shares (including 9.0 million treasury shares), representing 2.87% of the capital (excluding shares held for trading purposes). At this date, the Group also held 7.5 million purchase options on its own shares to cover stock option plans allocated to its employees.
Basel II risk-weighted assets (EUR 330.3 billion at June 30th, 2010 vs. EUR 326.2 billion at March 31st, 2010) were 1.2% higher in Q2. Compared with March 31st, 2010, loan-related risk-weighted assets were up +2.4%, whereas those related to market risks were down -18.1%.
With Tier 1 and Core Tier 1 ratios of respectively 10.7%2 and 8.5%2 at June 30th, 2010 and as proven also by the results of the CEBS stress tests, the Group boasts a robust capital structure that compares favourably with other European banks.
The Group is rated Aa2 by Moody's and A+ by S&P and Fitch.
1 This figure includes notably (i) EUR 6.6 billion of deeply subordinated notes, EUR 0.9 billion of undated subordinated notes and (ii) EUR -0.42 billion of net unrealised capital losses. 2
Excluding floor effects (additional capital requirements with respect to floor levels): -12 basis points on the Tier 1 ratio

The French Networks' Q2 activity represents a continuation of the good performance in Q1 10, thus enabling the division to generate commercial and financial results that are consistent with the Group's ambitions.
The individual customer franchise enjoyed robust growth in Q2 10, with +53,000 net account openings based on a proactive commercial policy by each brand (Societe Generale, Crédit du Nord and Boursorama). In an environment marked by continuing risk aversion, balance sheet deposits saw an increase in outstandings (+4.2% vs. Q2 09), primarily on sight deposits (+11.3% vs. Q2 09). Against a backdrop of low interest rates, special savings scheme outstandings proved highly resilient (+3.3% vs.Q2 09). They were driven by the strong growth of the Livret A passbook account and the Home Ownership Savings Plan whose outstandings continued to increase significantly (respectively +32.9% and +6.8% vs. Q2 09).
At EUR 0.8 billion, the recovery in net life insurance inflow accelerated in Q2 (+26.2% vs. Q2 09). Most of it was realised on with-profits vehicles, in a risk-averse environment. However, market volatility generated opportunities for individual investors leading to a 13.2% increase in stock market orders compared with Q1 10, mainly at Boursorama.
In the housing loan market, individual customers' anticipation of the revision to tax benefits (end of the doubling of amounts applicable under the interest free housing loan scheme, revision of the Scellier law) underpinned the growth in new housing loan business (+59.8% vs. Q2 09). However, the phasing out of government support for consumption, weak growth in household incomes and a preference for saving generally had an adverse effect on new consumer finance business (-6.9% in Q2 10 vs. Q2 09).
In the case of business customers, the French Networks' commercial dynamism coupled with the consolidation of corporate cash helped term deposits and, to a lesser extent, sight deposits, grow substantially (respectively +86.0% and +5.7% vs. Q2 09) to the detriment of operating loans (-6.3% vs. Q2 09). In an environment of weak demand and under-utilisation of production capacity, outstanding investment loans were highly resilient (+3.3% vs. Q2 09), testifying to the Group's commitment to support businesses and the economy.
The French Networks' Q2 financial results were significantly higher, with revenues amounting to EUR 1,931 million, up +5.7%1 vs. Q2 09, underpinned by a higher interest margin (+8.3%1 vs. Q2 09) and an increase in commissions due to the commercial dynamism of the French Networks (+2.4% vs. Q2 09). Operating expenses are under control at EUR 1,240 million (+2.8% vs. Q2 09). There was an overall improvement in the cost to income ratio of 1.81 point (64.0%) compared with Q2 09.
H1 revenues were higher than in H1 09 at EUR 3,823 million (+6.3%1 vs. H1 09). Operating expenses increased by +3.2% vs. H1 09 and the cost to income ratio improved by 2.01 points to 64.6%1 .
The Q2 10 cost of risk (52 basis points) was slightly lower than in Q1 10 (-2 points). The loss rate remained low for individual customers, unlike SME business customers for which the cost of risk was still high.
The French Networks' contribution to Group net income totalled EUR 312 million in Q2 10 (+20.9%1 vs. Q2 09) and EUR 591 million for H1, up +23.9%1 vs. H1 09.
ROE was 19.5%1 in Q2 10 (vs. 17.0%1 in Q2 09).

In a differentiated economic environment across geographical regions, International Retail Banking's commercial and financial performances provided further evidence of the pick-up in activity which began at the beginning of the year. With an increase in all outstandings in Q2 (+3.3%* on loans and +1.0%* on deposits), the division has demonstrated its ability to expand. Accordingly, at end-June, outstanding loans and deposits amounted to respectively EUR 64.1 billion and EUR 65.2 billion.
Subsidiaries in the Mediterranean Basin continued to enjoy buoyant levels of activity in Q2 10. With more than 700 branches at end-June 2010 (+52 net openings year-on-year), International Retail Banking continued to pursue its objective of reinforcing the operating infrastructure in the region and had 1.9 million individual customers, as a result of gaining more than 122,000 new customers year-on-year. Driven by this commercial dynamism, outstanding loans rose by +3.4%* vs. Q1 10, with significant growth in loans to individuals (+4.1%* over the same period).
In Central and Eastern European countries and in Russia, Q2 2010 was marked by the gradual normalisation of the economic environment and the pick-up in commercial activity (+2.4%* for loans and +0.7%* for deposits compared with end-March 2010). This trend is particularly significant for individual customers, notably in Russia where outstandings rose in Q2 (+5.1%* for loans and +16.2%* for deposits), demonstrating the first positive effects of the transformation programme implemented in this country. Recognised as a major player in the region, the Societe Generale Group was awarded the title of "Best Bank" in Central and Eastern Europe during the Euromoney Awards, rewarding its leadership position, its capacity for innovation and its commercial dynamism.
Against this backdrop, International Retail Banking's revenues were stable vs. Q2 09 at EUR 1,240 million (+0.3%* and +4.3% in absolute terms).
International Retail Banking's operating expenses amounted to EUR 699 million (-1.6%* and +2.6% in absolute terms vs. Q2 09), reflecting the cost-cutting measures implemented for several quarters in the regions most affected by the crisis. These realignment efforts have helped improve operating profitability, thus enabling the division to post gross operating income of EUR 541 million in Q2, up +2.9%* vs. Q2 09 (+6.5% in absolute terms). The cost to income ratio improved by 0.9 point vs. Q2 09 to 56.4%.
International Retail Banking's H1 revenues totalled EUR 2,423 million, down -0.6%* vs. H1 09 (+2.8% in absolute terms). At EUR 1,357 million, operating expenses were 2.5%* lower (+1.0% in absolute terms) vs. H1 09. Accordingly, gross operating income amounted to EUR 1,066 million, up +1.9%* (+5.3% in absolute terms). At 56.0%, the cost to income ratio was down 1.0 point vs. H1 09.
International Retail Banking's Q2 net cost of risk amounted to EUR -334 million or 192 basis points, which was lower than in Q1 10 (225 basis points). This trend reflects contrasting situations. Although still substantial, provisions for Greece were lower. The improvement was also apparent in Q2 in Russia and was confirmed in the Czech Republic. However, in a still challenging economic environment, the cost of risk was higher for Romania.
International Retail Banking's contribution to Group net income totalled EUR 125 million in Q2 10 (+7.8%* vs. Q2 09) and EUR 239 million in H1 10 (-2.1%* vs. H1 09), representing ROE of 13.2%.

The Specialised Financial Services and Insurance division comprises:
- (i) Specialised Financial Services (consumer finance, equipment finance, operational vehicle leasing and fleet management, IT leasing and management)
- (ii) Life and Non-Life Insurance.
While the level of commercial activity remained mixed across activities and geographical regions in Q2 2010, Specialised Financial Services and Insurance's overall performance provided further evidence of the earnings recovery which began in Q1, despite a still high cost of risk.
In a still sluggish economic environment and given the ongoing selective loan approval policy, new Consumer Finance business amounted to EUR 2.9 billion in Q2 10, down -7.1%* vs. Q2 09. The trends vs. Q1 10 differ from one country to another: decline in Poland and Italy, upturn in Germany and France, accelerated growth in Russia. Consumer Finance outstandings totalled EUR 23.6 billion at end-June 2010, up +3.7%* vs. end-June 2009.
With new financing amounting to EUR 1.9 billion (excluding factoring) in Q2, Equipment Finance saw an improvement in activity compared with Q1 10 (+26.1%*), notably in Scandinavia and in the transport sector in Germany. However, activity was still lower than in Q2 09 (-6.8%*). Outstanding loans (excluding factoring) totalled EUR 19.0 billion at end-June 2010, down -4.5%* vs. end-June 2009 but higher (+1.7%*) than at end-March 2010.
Operational vehicle leasing and fleet management continued to enjoy buoyant activity levels. There was an increase in new business (up 28.1% vs. Q2 09) with, in particular, the leasing of more than 51,000 vehicles. With approximately 816,000 vehicles, including 611,000 for operational vehicle leasing, the number of vehicles rose +4.8% vs. end-June 2009. Q2 was also marked by the ongoing improvement in the used vehicle market.
Specialised Financial Services' Q2 net banking income totalled EUR 796 million, up +9.9%* vs. Q2 09 (+15.4% in absolute terms), due to the combination of margins holding up well and the sharp recovery in earnings on used vehicle sales. Gross operating income was substantially higher than in Q2 09 (+24.2%* and +28.3% in absolute terms) at EUR 381 million given the continuing strict control of costs. The cost to income ratio improved by 4.9 points to 52.1% in Q2 10.
Specialised Financial Services' H1 net banking income totalled EUR 1,519 million, up +9.4%* vs. H1 09 (+14.8% in absolute terms), whereas operating expenses amounted to EUR 811 million, down -1.4%* (+4.2% in absolute terms). Accordingly, gross operating income was EUR 708 million, sharply higher (+24.6%* and +29.9% in absolute terms) than in H1 09. The cost to income ratio improved by 5.4 points to 53.4% in H1 10.
Insurance activities continued to enjoy a strong level of activity in Q2 10. With net inflow of EUR 1.3 billion, focused mainly on with-profits vehicles, life insurance experienced robust growth of +24.4%* vs. Q2 09, whereas non-life insurance saw its net new business grow by +12.8% over the same period.
The Insurance activity's net banking income totalled EUR 130 million in Q2, up +13.0%* vs. Q2 09 (+13.0% in absolute terms). It amounted to EUR 256 million in H1, up +15.3%* vs. H1 09 (+15.3% in absolute terms).
At 234 basis points, the division's net cost of risk remains high. While Q2 confirmed the lower cost of risk for Equipment Finance, Consumer Finance continued to suffer from the challenging situation in Poland and Italy.

The Private Banking, Global Investment Management and Services division consists of three major activities:
- (i) private banking (Societe Generale Private Banking)
- (ii) asset management (Amundi, TCW)
(iii) Societe Generale Securities Services (SGSS) and Brokers (Newedge).
Q2 10 saw an improvement in the results of the Private Banking, Global Investment Management and Services division in an unfavourable market environment.
Private Banking's assets under management totalled EUR 82.3 billion at June 30th, 2010, including an inflow of EUR +0.9 billion in Q2 10. In Asset Management, Q2 was characterised by the slower outflow at TCW (EUR -2.7 billion in Q2 10 vs. EUR -12.6 billion in Q1 10). Securities Services remained buoyant with assets under administration and assets under custody up vs. end-June 2009, by respectively +5.4% to EUR 446 billion and +13.4% to EUR 3,295 billion. In a volatile market environment, Newedge maintained a market share of 11.5% and saw a 16% increase in its market volumes vs. Q1 10.
The division's Q2 revenues amounted to EUR 592 million, down -9.9%* (-11.6% in absolute terms) vs. Q2 09. Efforts undertaken for several quarters to improve operating efficiency continue to bear fruit, with the result that operating expenses were substantially lower (-9.1%* and -9.1% in absolute terms vs. Q2 09) at EUR 511 million. As a result, gross operating income was down -13.2%* (-25.0% in absolute terms) at EUR 81 million. The division's contribution to Group net income was EUR 74 million, an identical level to Q2 09.
H1 gross operating income was down -22.4%* (-16.2% in absolute terms). The contribution to Group net income was down -15.9%* (+44.9% in absolute terms) vs. H1 09.

Private Banking
Net inflow totalled EUR +0.9 billion in Q2 10, or EUR +2.3 billion in H1 10. This corresponds to an annualised inflow rate of 4.8%. Given a "market" effect of EUR -2.2 billion and a "currency" impact of EUR +4.2 billion, Private Banking's assets under management amounted to EUR 82.3 billion.
At EUR 163 million, revenues were down -28.2%* (-26.6% in absolute terms) vs. Q2 09 and included an equity impairment of around EUR 30 million. If this latter item is stripped out, the decline is -11.9% in absolute terms. The decline can be attributed primarily to lower treasury revenues resulting from the normalisation of market conditions, which was partially offset by an increase in commissions and credit margins.
Operating expenses remained under control at EUR 134 million (-1.5%* and +1.5% in absolute terms) vs. Q2 09.
As a result of these developments, gross operating income totalled EUR 29 million. The business line's contribution to Group net income amounted to EUR 23 million vs. EUR 63 million in Q2 09.
The business line's H1 revenues amounted to EUR 325 million, down -23.5%* (-22.4% in absolute terms). Operating expenses were stable at EUR -264 million. As a result, gross operating income fell -61.1%* (-60.9% in absolute terms) to EUR 61 million. The business line's contribution to Group net income was EUR 47 million.
Asset Management
TCW recorded a total outflow of EUR -2.7 billion in Q2 10, representing a significant slowdown compared with Q1 10 (EUR -12.6 billion) and including EUR -5.0 billion of withdrawals attributable to the MBS activity (EUR -10.8 billion in Q1 10). The other asset classes enjoyed a net inflow of EUR +2.3 billion, especially in money market vehicles and equities.
Assets under management amounted to EUR 88.7 billion at end-June 2010 (vs. EUR 85.2 billion at end-March 2010), given a market effect of EUR -2.7 billion, a currency impact of EUR +8.1 billion, as well as a structure effect of EUR +0.9 billion.
The combination of a slower outflow and an increase in performance commissions takes the business line's Q2 revenues to EUR 135 million. H1 revenues totalled EUR 218 million. Net banking income was down -20.1% vs. Q2 09 .
Operating expenses were significantly lower (-11.9%) than in Q2 09. As a result, gross operating income came to EUR 2 million in Q2 10 vs. EUR 18 million in Q2 09. H1 operating expenses were down -25.1% and gross operating income amounted to EUR -9 million vs. EUR -21 million in H1 09.
After factoring in Amundi's contribution (EUR 21 million), the business line's contribution to Group net income amounted to EUR 20 million in Q2 10 (or EUR 39 million in H1 10 vs. EUR -16 million in H1 09.
Societe Generale Securities Services (SGSS) and Brokers (Newedge)
The Securities Services and Broker activities experienced strong business volumes in Q2 2010.
Within Securities Services, this dynamism is reflected in a further rise in assets under administration (+5.4% vs. end-June 2009) and assets under custody (+13.4% vs. end-June 2009), to respectively EUR 446 billion and EUR 3,295 billion. The business line has also made official the commercial partnerships it has implemented with US Bancorp in the United States and National Bank of Abu Dhabi in the Middle East.
In very volatile markets, the Broker activity posted volumes up +16% vs. Q1 10. It also maintained its market leadership position (No. 2 in the May Futures Commission Merchants' classification in the USA) with a market share of 11.5% in Q2.
As a result, the business line's revenues rose +5.0%* (+5.4% in absolute terms) vs. Q2 09 to EUR 294 million despite interest rates remaining at a low level.
This increase was accompanied by a decline in operating expenses (-12.9%* and -12.5% in absolute terms) vs. Q2 09. Gross operating income and the business line's contribution to Group net income therefore amounted to respectively EUR 50 million in Q2 10 (vs. EUR 0 million in Q2 09) and EUR 31 million (vs. EUR 1 million in Q2 09).
H1 revenues were slightly lower (-1.1%* and -0.7% in absolute terms) at EUR 553 million and operating expenses were down -11.8%* (-11.6% in absolute terms). Gross operating income amounted to EUR 67 million and the contribution to Group net income was EUR 43 million.

Q2 2010 was characterised by a tumultuous market environment, marked by the amplification of the European sovereign debt crisis in May, whereas Q2 2009 experienced exceptional market conditions which resulted in record revenues.
Accordingly, Corporate and Investment Banking's Q2 10 revenues were down -37.0%* (-33.8% in absolute terms) vs. Q2 09. At EUR 1,751 million, including EUR 71 million for legacy assets (vs. EUR -165 million in Q2 09), the division's revenues reflect both active and prudent risk management (trading VaR and market stress tests kept low, respectively at EUR 27 million and EUR 629 million in Q2 10) and the robustness and diversification of customer franchises. The division's H1 revenues amounted to EUR 3,895 million, down -1.6%* (+0.5% in absolute terms) vs. H1 09.
Negatively affected by unfavourable market conditions, Global Markets posted lower revenues of EUR 1,024 million in Q2 10 (vs. EUR 2,149 million in Q2 09) and EUR 2,589 million in H1 10 (vs. EUR 4,395 million in H1 09).
In an adverse environment for equity derivative activities (volatility spikes, high correlation, declining markets), the Equities business line posted Q2 10 revenues of EUR 357 million (EUR 1,143 million in H1 10 vs. EUR 1,681 million in H1 09). The 54.5% decline vs. Q1 10 (-65.4% vs. Q2 09) was due to mixed client-driven volumes and a sharp contraction in sales margins as a result of the increased cost of hedges associated with client positions. Despite challenging market conditions, SG CIB maintained a leadership position in equity derivatives and was awarded the title of "No. 1 Global Provider in Equity Derivatives" (Risk Magazine, Institutional Investor Ranking June 2010) for the 4th year running.
In an unfavourable environment (increased volatility, widening credit spreads, lower client-driven volumes), the revenues of Fixed Income, Currencies & Commodities amounted to EUR 667 million in Q2 10 (or a decline of -40.2% vs. Q2 09) and included the income from exercising the option on Gaselys. H1 revenues amounted to EUR 1,446 million (vs. EUR 2,714 million in H1 09 in an exceptionally favourable environment for fixed income, currency and credit activities). Q2 10 performances represent a limited decline vs. Q1 10 (-14.4%) thanks primarily to the good contribution of interest rate activities as well as market share gains (for example on currencies: 4.4% market share on the Fx All electronic trading platform, vs. 4.1% in Q1 10, 3.4% in Q2 09).
Meanwhile Financing & Advisory enjoyed a strong quarter, posting revenues of EUR 656 million (or H1 revenues of EUR 1,258 million), a slight increase of +5.8%* (+9.0% in absolute terms) vs. Q1 10. Structured financing activities saw a further increase in their contribution to the business line's revenues (revenues up 10.8% vs. Q2 09) due in particular to the dynamism of natural resources financing (+54.4% vs. Q2 09). Accordingly, SGCIB participated in the financing of the Exeltium project aimed at securing electricity supplies for European industrial companies (EUR 1.6 billion) and was awarded the title of "Best Energy Finance Bank" (Trade Finance Magazine, June 2010). Despite lower capital market volumes, SGCIB remained active. In particular, it was mandated as a co-bookrunner for the Volkswagen capital increase (EUR 4.2 billion) and as the coordinator for all the financing aspects relating to the Accor Group's demerger into two separate entities, hotels and services. SGCIB has also consolidated its No. 3 position in euro corporate bond issues.
Legacy Assets' Q2 contribution to the division's revenues totalled EUR +71 million vs. EUR -165 million in Q2 09. H1 revenues amounted to EUR +48 million vs. EUR -1,757 million in H1 09.
Corporate and Investment Banking's operating expenses were significantly lower (-12.5%* and -7.6% in absolute terms) than in Q2 09. The Q2 cost to income ratio was 61.3% and gross operating income amounted to EUR 677 million.
H1 operating expenses were up +2.0%* (+6.1% in absolute terms) vs. H1 09. Gross operating income amounted to EUR 1,669 million vs. EUR 1,778 million in H1 09.
The Q2 cost of risk amounted to EUR -142 million, including EUR -97 million for legacy assets. When restated for this amount and for litigation issues, the cost of risk comes out at 10 basis points, substantially lower than the 93 basis points in Q2 09.
Corporate and Investment Banking's operating income totalled EUR 535 million in Q2. The contribution to Group net income was EUR 410 million.
The H1 contribution to Group net income was EUR 951 million vs. EUR 707 million in H1 09.
The Corporate Centre's gross operating income was EUR 164 million in Q2 10 and EUR 135 million in H1 10. It includes in particular:
- the revaluation of debts linked specifically to the Group's credit risk, amounting to EUR +254 million,
- and the revaluation of credit derivative instruments used to hedge the loans and receivables portfolios, amounting to EUR +18 million in Q2 10.
At June 30th, 2010, the IFRS net book value of the industrial equity portfolio, excluding unrealised capital gains, amounted to EUR 0.67 billion, representing market value of EUR 0.82 billion.

1- The interim consolidated results at June 30th, 2010 and the comparative information prepared accordingly are the subject of a limited examination by the Statutory Auditors. They were approved by the Board of Directors on August 3rd, 2010.
The financial information presented for the six-month period ended June 30th, 2010 has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted in the European Union at June 30th, 2010. In particular, the Group's summary interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting. The financial information has been submitted for inspection to the Statutory Auditors who will issue a limited examination report on the summary interim consolidated financial statements as at June 30th, 2010.
2- Group ROE is calculated on the basis of average Group shareholders' equity under IFRS excluding (i) unrealised or deferred capital gains or losses booked directly under shareholders' equity excluding conversion reserves, (ii) deeply subordinated notes, (iii) undated subordinated notes recognised as shareholders' equity, and deducting (iv) interest to be paid to holders of deeply subordinated notes and of the restated, undated subordinated notes. The net income used to calculate ROE excludes interest, net of tax impact, to be paid to holders of deeply subordinated notes for the period and, since 2006, holders of restated, undated subordinated notes (EUR 86 million in Q2 2010 and EUR 168 million in H1 2010).
3- For the calculation of earnings per share, "Group net income for the period" is corrected (reduced in the case of a profit and increased in the case of a loss) for interest, net of tax impact, to be paid to holders of:
- (i) deeply subordinated notes (EUR 80 million in Q2 2010 and EUR 156 million in H1 2010),
- (ii) undated subordinated notes recognised as shareholders' equity (EUR 6 million in Q2 2010 and EUR 12 million in H1 2010).
Earnings per share is therefore calculated as the ratio of corrected Group net income for the period to the average number of ordinary shares outstanding, excluding treasury shares but including (a) trading shares held by the Group and (b) shares held under the liquidity contract.
4- Net assets are comprised of Group shareholders' equity, excluding (i) deeply subordinated notes (EUR 6.6 billion), undated subordinated notes previously recognised as debt (EUR 0.9 billion) and (ii) interest to be paid to holders of deeply subordinated notes and undated subordinated notes, but reinstating the book value of trading shares held by the Group and shares held under the liquidity contract. The number of shares used to calculate book value per share is the number of shares issued at June 30th, 2010 (including preference shares), excluding treasury shares but including (a) trading shares held by the Group and (b) shares held under the liquidity contract.
