First Quarter 2020 Results
Paris, May 6, 2020
1Q20 results
Positive earnings capacity1 despite an unprecedented market context
Reported net income at €(204)m in 1Q20 impacted by the Coface transaction announcement2 as well as IFRIC 21
Basel 3 fully-loaded CET1 ratio1 at 11.4%, +310bps above regulatory requirements
Quarter marked by mechanical market effects (linked to the COVID-19 context) thus mostly reversible:
~€(290)m net revenue impact o/w ~€160m reversible (XvA, seed money in asset management)~(90)bps CET1 ratio impact o/w ~70bps reversible (OCI, PVA, Market and CVA RWA)
A DIVERSIFIED ASSET-LIGHT MODEL DEDICATED TO CLIENTS' NEEDS
UNDERLYING NET REVENUES3 EXCLUDING CVA/DVA AT €1.9BN IN 1Q20 (-3% YOY)
AWM: Resilient results, fee rate and flow dynamics
Strength of our active asset management model with underlying net revenues3 flat YoY in 1Q20 despite some mark-downs on the seed money portfolio. Revenue growth of +9% YoY excluding the seed money contribution i.e. +4pp above expense growth
Average fee rate slightly down to 29bps over the quarter due to a mix effect following the drop in equity markets
Net outflows on LT products limited to ~€(5)bn in North America and ~€(2)bn in Europe (excluding Life Insurance General Accounts)
Outlook: Pursue the development of a truly global and diversified model, building up on key strategic initiatives (e.g. LBPAM) and already successful growth relays (e.g. WCM, Mirova and Thematics) while maintaining good cost management and flexibility in order to adapt to the environment. Good 2Q20 start so far
CIB: Strong revenue diversification together with a tight control on expenses
Supporting clients with more than €9bn financing granted since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis as at 30/04/204
Underlying net revenues3 impacted by the COVID-19 context in 1Q20, notably across market activities through elevated CVA/DVA effects and mark-downs (Equity dividends). Strong FICT performance with revenues up +46% YoY and from Investment banking/M&A, up +19%. Global finance activity impacted by lower syndication fees in March
Costs under control, down -5% YoY at constant exchange rate in 1Q20
Cost of risk increase in 1Q20 due to higher provisioning, notably across energy exposures
Outlook: Ongoing cost saving efforts to mitigate the combined effect of lower revenues and higher cost of risk. Under severe assumptions, notably including a -9% drop in the 2020 French GDP and a -4% cumulative drop over 2020-2021, cost of risk for the rest of the year could be along the lines of 1Q20 or moderately above
Insurance: Particularly resilient model, driver of growth and profitability
Underlying net revenues3 up +5% YoY in 1Q20 with a limited impact of market volatility
Underlying RoE3 at ~33% in 1Q20
Outlook: Limited impacts from the current environment expected on the 2020 Gross operating income
Payments: Value creation accelerating through the beginning of 2020
Underlying net revenues3 up +9% YoY in 1Q20 of which +13% in January/Febru ary
Underlying RoE3 at ~15% in 1Q20
Outlook: 2020 net revenues are expected to continue to exhibit positive momentum vs. 2019
SOLID BALANCE SHEET AND REINFORCED FINANCIAL STRENGTH
Basel 3 FL CET1 ratio1 at 11.4% as at March 31, 2020, vs. 11.3% at 2019 year-end. Ratio +310bps above regulatory requirements which are now established at 8.29%, down -120bps vs. January 1st, 2020. Following this capital requirement reduction, mainly driven by the CRD V article 104 being brought forward, Natixis is now targeting a Basel 3 FL CET1 ratio1 of 10.2% for the 2020-2021 period
Liquidity: LCR ratio >100% as at March 31, 2020 through an efficient joint funding platform together with BPCE. Besides, >70% of assets on balance sheet have a duration < 1 year. This short-term balance sheet should potentially limit IFRS 9 provisioning based on lifetime expected loss
Positive earnings capacity1 of +€60m in 1Q20 despite volatile items impacting the quarter

"Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, our employees have been fully mobilized to support our clients and the real economy. They have been working very efficiently, and we have been able to function in a very satisfactory way, thanks to our early adoption of remote working practices. I pay tribute to the commitment and professionalism of our incredible teams, which has equally been noted by our clients.
Despite the crisis, operating revenues and expenses across our businesses are largely stable compared with last year. In Asset & Wealth Management, strong declines in financial markets reduced our assets under management and led us to mark down our seed money portfolio, but client outflows were limited and the fee rate was close to flat, demonstrating the relevance of our multi-boutique offering to our clients. In Corporate & Investment Banking, we recorded strong results for fixed income, investment banking and M&A, while other businesses were impacted negatively by the environment, including financing and equity derivatives. Insurance and Payments both recorded a solid quarter marked by increased revenue and profit, and the fundamentals of both businesses remain strong even as confinement measures will reduce activity in the short-term.
Our results in the first quarter of 2020 were characterized by the unprecedented environment, which had a significant asset and liability mark-to-market effect under IFRS rules, reversible depending on market evolution and that has a noticeable impact on our accounts. Despite such effect, our earnings capacity remains positive taking into account the exceptional impact stemming from the sale of a ~30% stake in Coface at a pre-crisis price and if we smooth over the year the regulatory taxes and contributions that we pay upfront every first quarter.
Our results demonstrated the robustness of our diversified business model as well as our solid capital and liquidity positions. Natixis' CET1 ratio is well above regulatory requirements and our liquidity is assured through our joint funding platform with BPCE. The measures that have been announced by the ECB also allow us to reduce our CET1 target by 100 basis points to 10.2% for the period 2020-2021. Our excess capital position will be assessed upon this level across the two coming years.
The current COVID-19 crisis is strong and its economic consequences remain uncertain. In such a context, we have decided to push back the announcement of our next strategic plan until the end of 2021. In the meantime, we will continue to focus on creating value for our stakeholders by generating diversified revenues, further reducing our operating expenses and, above all, serving our clients during this period when they most need support and advise."

Underlying net revenues impacted by the following lumpy items, all directly or indirectly linked to the COVID-19 context for a total amount of ~€(290)m:
AWM: €(34)m mark-down impact on the seed money portfolio (post overlay) due to the sharp drop in market levels in March;CIB: €(55)m CVA/DVA (Credit/Debit Value Adjustment) impact due to spreads widening on the back of perceived counterparty credit risk deterioration as at March 31, 2020 vs. December 31, 2019. €(130)m impact from dividend mark-downs across Equity following corporates' 2019 dividend cancellation and the related sharp moves of dividend future curves;Corporate Center: €(71)m FVA (Funding Value Adjustment) impact due to the increase in funding costs on the market.
Underlying expenses are flat YoY and even down -1% at constant FX in 1Q20 reflecting ongoing cost discipline. The underlying cost/income ratio1 stands at 81.9% in 1Q20 vs. 73.2% in 1Q19.
Underlying cost of risk at €(193)m in 1Q20 reflecting higher provisioning, mainly across energy exposures. Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), the businesses' underlying cost of risk worked out to 117bps in 1Q20 (~45bps excl. COVID-19 direct related impacts and frauds).
Natixis' internal models are based on inputs close to the latest SSM macroeconomic baseline scenario purposely released for the current situation and with a pessimistic scenario now weighted at 100% in IFRS 9 models. The short duration balance-sheet means potentially limited "cliff effect" from Stage 1 exposures (12-m EL) transitioning to Stage 2 (lifetime EL). As such, cost of risk impacts could be mostly derived from individual jumps to default that could nonetheless be limited by governments' supporting measures which overall impact will be assessed over time. A sensitivity test has been carried out based on a severe macroeconomic scenario. This would notably include the projection of a ~9% drop in the 2020 French GDP (cumulative ~4% drop for 2020-2021) and severe assumptions across sectors of expertise incl. only modest oil price recovery towards early April levels and significant haircuts to asset prices on real assets (e.g. ~30-40% for aircrafts and ~15% for real estate). In such a scenario, the cost of risk for the rest of the year could be along the lines of 1Q20 or moderately above.
Natixis' exposure to the Oil & Gas sector stood at ~€10.1bn of net EAD2 (Exposure at Default) as at 31/03/2020 (~60% Investment Grade) of which ~€2.5bn across independent producers and service companies which have a more limited absorption capacity of lower oil price (o/w ~€1.1bn in the US, portfolio which positioning is to be reviewed in line with Natixis' CIB green strategy). As at 31/03/2020, the exposure to Aviation stood at ~€4.5bn of net EAD2, was well diversified across more than 30 countries (none of which exceeding 20% of the exposure), secured for ~80% and majority Investment Grade. The exposure to Tourism & Leisure stood at ~€1.7bn of net EAD as at 31/03/2020, with 94% being in the EMEA region, geared towards industry leaders and with limited non-performing assets (~2%).
Coface underlying net contribution reached €1m in 1Q20 based on a ~13% residual stake (vs. ~42% in 1Q19) (see press release dated 20/04/2020).
Net income (group share), adjusted for IFRIC 21 and excluding exceptional items reached +€60m in 1Q20. Accounting for exceptional items (€(123)m net of tax in 1Q20) and IFRIC 21 impact (€(141)m in 1Q20) the reported net income (group share) in 1Q20 is at €(204)m.
Natixis' underlying RoTE1 reached 0.8% in 1Q20 excl. IFRIC 21.
Natixis is now targeting a Basel 3 CET1 fully-loaded ratio of 10.2% for 2020-2021 (see note on methodology): the previous target was a 2020 one and was set at 11.2% against a CET1 ratio requirement of 9.47% as at January 1st, 2020. Such a requirement now stands at 8.29% following the various measures announced during the first quarter: lowered countercyclical buffers, notably in France and the U.K. for the main ones, for an estimated impact of ~20bps and; CRD V (Capital Requirement Directive V) article 104 brought forward for an estimated impact of ~100bps. The latter impact, which is structural, leads Natixis to set a new target at 10.2% for the period 2020-2021. With a CET1 ratio of 11.4% as at March 31, 2020, Natixis stands +310bps above these new regulatory requirements and +120bps above its new target.
The New Dimension 2020 targets now being void considering the deterioration of the economic and financial outlook linked to the COVID-19 context and the uncertainties it creates (for instance: macroeconomic scenarios and the behavior of sectors/counterparts to which Natixis is exposed that could impact credit risk estimates, market levels impacting valuations including for non-listed assets, goodwill depreciation or depreciation of associates' value, or securities, etc.), new 2021 targets in addition to the CET1 ratio one will be presented by the end of 2020. A new medium-term plan will be unveiled before 2021 year-end.

Asset management underlying net revenues have been impacted by €(34)m mark-downs on the seed money portfolio (measured at FVTPL under IFRS 9). P&L impacts from the seed money portfolio flow through the gross operating income without corresponding cost adjustments. Excluding the contribution of the seed money portfolio, AWM net revenues would have been up +9% YoY, generating a positive jaws effect of +4pp.
The Asset management overall fee rate excluding performance fees is at ~29bps in 1Q20 (~30bps in 4Q19) due to a lower share of average AuM in North America. For European affiliates ~15bps and ~27bps excl. Life Insurance General Accounts due to a lower share of average AuM from DNCA, Dorval and H2O. For North American affiliates, it is at ~37bps (flat QOQ) with a lower share of average AuM from Harris in part offset by a higher fee rate. Performance fees reached €49m in 1Q20 vs. €32m in 1Q19.
Asset management net flows on LT products reached ~€(5)bn in North America (fixed income and value equity), ~€(2)bn in Europe's high-margin strategies (balanced products), ~€(3)bn in Europe's low-margin strategies (Life Insurance General Accounts) and ~€(1)bn in Asia. Growth equity, real asset and thematic strategies (WCM, Vauban and MV Credit, Mirova, Thematics) continue to exhibit solid dynamics.
Asset management AuM reached €828bn as at March 31, 2020, down QoQ. Negative market effect of €(100)bn, positive FX & perimeter effect of +€11bn, net outflows on LT products as described above and net outflows on money-market products of €(6)bn.
2020 outlook:
Pursue the development of a truly global and diversified model. Build up on key strategic initiatives (e.g. LBPAM) and already successful growth relays (e.g. WCM, Mirova and Thematics) to provide a broad range of solutions that are relevant to clients' needs in all market conditions;Performance fees are likely to be reduced vs. historical average, mainly at H2O;Additional mark-downs on the seed portfolio could materialize across listed assets (linked to the evolution of financial markets) and private assets (e.g. real estate or private equity, linked to the reappraisal of assets under management's value based on the updated financial situation of the investments);Cost flexibility a key asset notably through the mechanical adjustment of the affiliates' bonus pools;Good client activity in 2Q20 so far.

Global markets: FICT revenues up a strong +46% YoY due to Rates & FX and with overall YoY revenue growth for the 4th quarter in a row. Equity revenues at €(32)m despite resilient client activity due to increased hedging cost and a €(130)m impact from dividend mark-downs following corporates' 2019 dividend cancellation and the related sharp moves of dividend future curves. Such an impact could partly reverse.
Global finance: Net revenues down YoY due to lower syndication fees (essentially in March and in the US) and with new production levels impacted by the March economic backdrop (-8% YoY in 1Q20 for structured financings).
Investment banking/M&A: Net revenues up a solid +19% YoY mainly driven by robust activity across M&A boutiques, mainly Natixis Partners, PJ Solomon and Fenchurch.
Underlying net revenues excl. CVA/DVA and dividend mark-down impact would have been up +7% YoY (o/w +24% for Global markets).
Underlying expenses are down -4% YoY featuring some flexibility without compromising priority investments.
2020 outlook:
Global markets: 2020 net revenues likely to be impacted by the current environment although Natixis' positioning should demonstrate its relevance for clients, supporting market share across main areas of expertise;Global finance: 2020 net revenues likely to experience lower syndication fees, although partly offset by higher net interest income over time;IB/M&A: 2020 activity levels will largely depend on the shape of the recovery although opportunities for client advisory may also arise in the current environment. Natixis' Green & Sustainable Hub as well as the flexibility offered by the M&A multiboutique model are key assets to leverage on;Ongoing efforts from a cost saving standpoint including portfolio reviews.

Limited net revenue impact from market volatility thanks to efficient hedging strategy against the drop in equity markets.
Underlying cost/income ratio1 at 52.2% and underlying RoE1 at 33.0% in 1Q20.
From a commercial standpoint: €2.6bn gross inflows2 in 1Q20 (o/w 37% UL products) and €1.3bn net inflows2 (o/w 58% UL) for Life insurance.
2020 outlook:
Fundamentals remain solid despite a slowdown in commercial activity as of mid-March as a result of lockdown measures being taken in France;Expected 2Q20 contribution to the insurance solidarity fund to be similar to the one recorded in 1Q20 (exceptional item);Life and Personal protection (~65% of Insurance net revenues): Gross operating income largely secured given the limited sensitivity to a potential further drop in equity markets (~€(15)m for a ~10% drop in the relevant equity indices vs. end-March levels). Gross inflow dynamics and the trade-off between €/UL contracts should not have any significant P&L impact for the rest of the year although the trend is to be monitored over the medium-term;P&C (~35% of Insurance net revenues): Gross operating income sensitivity to a ~20% drop in sales 2020 vs. 2019 ~€(5)m-€(10)m. Such a scenario would be consistent with a U-shaped recovery and normalization towards early 4Q20.

Strong acceleration across all business lines with net revenues up +13% YoY over the first two months.
Slowdown in activity following the announcement of lockdown measures in France, resulting in the second half of March featuring only minor net revenue growth vs. March 2019 due to:
Payment Processing & Services: Number of card transactions processed significantly reduced since the 1st day of lockdown (by ~50%). Revenue impact limited by the business model thanks to some flat fee component in the billing;Merchant Solutions: Slowdown in business volumes generated by the fintechs particularly marked across a few sectors (e.g. travel, entertainment). Payplug continued to experience solid growth rates through a more favourable positioning and ramp-up across the banking networks;Prepaid & Issuing Solutions: Impact from technical unemployment and the closure of some acceptation venues such as restaurants for meal vouchers.
Underlying cost/income ratio1 improving to 82.9% (84.1% in 1Q19) with positive jaws and underlying RoE1 at 14.9% (12.5% in 1Q19).
outlook: 2020 net revenues are expected to continue to exhibit positive momentum vs. 2019;2Q20 net revenues to be impacted by the lockdown in France with progressive easing as of mid-May/June and expected normalization in activity levels as of 3Q20. April already featuring some nice rebound vs. the second half of March.

Underlying net revenues impacted by a €(71)m FVA impact (+€16m in 1Q19). As a reminder Funding Value Adjustments materialize through the P&L due to the change in the cost of funding above the risk-free rate for uncollateralized derivative transactions. Such adjustments can be quite volatile and tend to normalize over time.
Underlying expenses excluding SRF contribution are down -20% YoY partly reflecting cost saving efforts being carried out across the organization.
Underlying gross operating income excluding FVA YoY evolution largely in line with 1Q19.

APPENDICES
Note on methodology:
The results at 31/03/2020 were examined by the board of directors at their meeting on 06/05/2020.
Figures at 31/03/2020 are presented in accordance with IAS/IFRS accounting standards and IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) rulings as adopted in the European Union and applicable at this date
Press release dated 20/04/2020 "Preparation of the 1Q20 Financial Communication"
The 2019 quarterly series have been updated following the February 25, 2020 announcement regarding the sale by Natixis of a 29.5% stake in Coface to Arch Capital Group. This announcement notably translates into the following:
Natixis losing exclusive control over Coface in the first quarter of 2020 and the recognition of a capital loss at the date of such a loss of control. It is estimated at €112m based on the 2020 sale price;
Application of the IAS 28 standard "Investments in associates and joint ventures" to the residual stake held by Natixis in Coface. For financial communication purposes, the contribution of Coface to Natixis' income statement is isolated on a line Coface net contribution (based on a ~42% ownership over 2019 and of ~13% as of the first quarter of 2020) and the Financial investments division no longer exists;
In addition, the value of the retained stake (accounted for under the equity method) will be impacted by a €7m impairment due to the drop in the value of Coface related to the context prevailing at March 31, 2020. For financial communication purposes, these two items - capital loss and residual stake impairment - will be classified as exceptional items in the first quarter of 2020 and both presented within the line Coface net contribution" (see page 15 for the reconciliation of the restated figures with the accounting view);
The prudential treatment applied to Natixis' stake in Coface resulted in a ~€2bn risk-weighted asset release in the first quarter 2020. Upon closing of the transaction, ~€1.4bn of additional risk-weighted assets should be released i.e. ~€3.5bn in total;
The remaining Financial investments, namely Natixis Algeria as well as the private equity activities managed in run-off, are no longer isolated and are reallocated to the Corporate center, which, as a reminder, gathers the holding and the centralized balance sheet management functions of Natixis.
The equity method value of Coface will be re-assessed every quarter depending, among other, on the evolution of the economic context and any change in such a value will be reflected in the P&L line "Coface net contribution".
Business line performances using Basel 3 standards:
The performances of Natixis business lines are presented using Basel 3 standards. Basel 3 risk-weighted assets are based on CRR-CRD4 rules as published on June 26th, 2013 (including the Danish compromise treatment for qualified entities).
Natixis' RoTE is calculated by taking as the numerator net income (group share) excluding DSN interest expenses (the associated tax benefit being already accounted for in the net income following the adoption of IAS 12 amendment). Equity capital is average shareholders' equity group share as defined by IFRS, after payout of dividends1, excluding average hybrid debt, average intangible assets and average goodwill
Natixis' RoE: Results used for calculations are net income (group share), deducting DSN interest expenses (the associated tax benefit being already accounted for in the net income following the adoption of IAS 12 amendment). Equity capital is average shareholders' equity group share as defined by IFRS, after payout of dividends1, excluding average hybrid debt, and excluding unrealized or deferred gains and losses recognized in equity (OCI)
RoE for business lines is calculated based on normative capital to which are added goodwill and intangible assets for the business line. Normative capital allocation to Natixis' business lines is carried out on the basis of 10.5% of their average Basel 3 risk-weighted assets. Business lines benefit from remuneration of normative capital allocated to them. By convention, the remuneration rate on normative capital is maintained at 2%
Note on Natixis' RoE and RoTE calculation: Returns based on quarter-end balance sheet in 1Q20 to reflect the announced disposal of a 29.5% stake in Coface. The €112m net capital loss is not annualized.
[1] In line with ECB recommendations, the 2019 dividend has been reintegrated into Natixis' capital and no dividend accrual will be carried out throughout 2020 - see press release dated 31/03/2020
Net book value: calculated by taking shareholders' equity group share (minus distribution of dividends proposed by the Board of Directors but not yet approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting1), restated for hybrids and capital gains on reclassification of hybrids as equity instruments. Net tangible book value is adjusted for goodwill relating to equity affiliates, restated goodwill and intangible assets as follows:
