“Natixis recorded its best results in over two years in the fourth quarter of 2020, despite a cost of risk that remained elevated, as our business activity rebounded strongly enabling us to achieve positive net income over the full year.These good results demonstrate the agile nature of our business model and the unwavering commitment of our teams to serving our clients.

In Asset & Wealth Management core revenues grew strongly in the fourth quarter while assets under management reached a new high of over 1.1 trillion euros as our diversified model continued to perform. Our Corporate & Investment Banking business notched up its best quarter of the year with M&A revenues that are notably well ahead of our targets, a very tight management of costs and an improving cost of risk. Natixis Assurances, which in 2020 achieved its ambition of becoming a fully-fledged insurer at the service of the Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne banks, grew revenues by 8% year-on-year both in the fourth quarter and over the full year. Our Payments business continued to expand its activities in the fourth quarter despite the lockdown measures in place in France.

Natixis has shown, through these results and its solid financial position, its capacity to create sustainable value for all its stakeholders and has furthermore proposed to restart dividend payments. With these solid foundations, Natixis is in a strong position to continue to support its clients and to launch, by the summer, an ambitious new strategic plan."

Nicolas Namias, Natixis Chief Executive Officer

Underlying net revenue evolution highlighting Natixis’ rapid recovery under normalizing market conditions with all businesses delivering YoY growth at constant exchange rate (excl. H2O AM). Underlying net revenues excl. H2O AM are up +8% YoY (+11% at constant exchange rate).

Underlying expenses are down -4% YoY reflecting the ongoing cost discipline across the board and particularly strong delivery in CIB (-7% YoY). The underlying cost/income ratio¹ stands at 68.8% in 4Q20 vs. 69.1% in 4Q19. The underlying gross operating income excl. H2O AM is up +35% YoY.

The underlying cost of risk has improved QoQ although still at elevated levels. Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), the businesses’ underlying cost of risk worked out to 94bps in 4Q20 (o/w ~60% of COVID-19 related impacts such as IFRS9, fraudulent credit files and airlines).

Minority interests are down YoY due to AM performance fees geared towards affiliates in which Natixis owns a higher share.

Net income (group share), adjusted for IFRIC 21 and excluding exceptional items reached €395m in 4Q20. Accounting for exceptional items (€(118)m net of tax in 4Q20) and IFRIC 21 impact (€47m in 4Q20) the reported net income (group share) in 4Q20 is at €323m.

Natixis’ underlying RoTE¹ reached 11.3% in 4Q20 excl. IFRIC 21 (vs. 10.8% in 4Q19).

¹See note on methodology. Excluding exceptional items and excluding IFRIC 21
A cost of risk sensitivity test has been carried out with data as at end-December 2020. This would notably include the projection of a ~6% increase in the 2021 French GDP and severe assumptions across sectors of expertise incl. oil price ~$45/bbl. and significant haircuts to asset prices on real assets (e.g. ~45% for aircrafts and ~20-25% for real estate). In such a scenario, the FY21 cost of risk could reach a level comprised between ~70bps and ~90bps, potentially improving progressively vs. 2020.

Natixis’ exposure to the Oil & Gas sector stood at ~€10.0bn of net EAD¹ (Exposure at Default) as at 31/12/2020 (~60% Investment Grade) of which ~€0.7bn across US independent producers and service companies which have a more limited absorption capacity of lower oil price. As at 31/12/2020, the exposure to Aviation stood at ~€3.8bn of net EAD¹, was well diversified across more than 30 countries (none of which exceeding 25% of the exposure), secured for ~80% and majority Investment Grade. The exposure to Tourism & Leisure stood at ~€1.9bn of net EAD as at 31/12/2020, with ~95% being in the EMEA region, geared towards industry leaders.

Underlying net revenues are down -13% YoY in 2020 (-12% at constant exchange rate). They are reflecting a cumulative €(283)m impact from dividend mark-downs across Equity (CIB) due to corporates’ 2019 dividend cancellation and the related sharp moves of dividend future curves. All the other lumpy items directly or indirectly linked to the COVID-19 context that had been identified as recoverable upon market conditions have been recovered as at end-December.

Underlying expenses are down -5% YoY (-4% at constant exchange rate), demonstrating Natixis’ ability to adjust to its environment through the cost flexibility embedded in the Asset management multiboutique model (-6% YoY) and ongoing cost discipline across the organization (e.g. CIB down -5% YoY, Corporate Center down -24% YoY excl. SRF). The underlying cost/income ratio¹ stands at 77.3% in 2020 vs. 71.3% in 2019. The underlying gross operating income excl. H2O AM is down -16% YoY.

The underlying cost of risk reflects the COVID-19 context (~€610m related impacts). Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), the businesses’ underlying cost of risk worked out to 128bps in 2020 (o/w ~70% of COVID-19 related impacts such as IFRS9, fraudulent credit files and airlines) and is consistent with the outcome of the sensitivity analysis run with 1Q20 results.

Minority interests are down YoY due to AM performance fees geared towards affiliates in which Natixis owns a higher share.

Net income (group share) excluding exceptional items reached €517m in 2020. Accounting for exceptional items (€(416)m net of tax in 2020) the reported net income (group share) in 2020 is at €101m.

Natixis’ underlying RoTE¹ reached 3.0% in 2020 (vs. 10.0% in 2019).

AWM gross operating income excl. H2O AM is up +54% YoY in 4Q20 and +7% YoY in 2020 (evolutions at current FX). Positive jaws for AM excl H2O AM in 4Q20 due to strong revenue generation (+16% YoY) and cost control (-10% YoY on non-comp. expenses). Regarding 2020, net revenues are stable YoY at constant exchange rate despite the COVID-19 context, demonstrating the benefits of a diversified multiboutique model. AM perf. fees reached €210m in 4Q20 mainly coming from DNCA and Mirova. 2020 perf. fees excl. H2O AM >9% of AM net revenues. 4Q20 WM perf. fees at €15m (+€9m YoY).

Asset management overall fee rate excluding performance fees at ~25bps in 4Q20 and ~38bps excl. Ostrum AM (+0.7bps QoQ). Fee rate at ~34bps (+0.1bps QoQ) for North American affiliates and at ~39bps for European affiliates excl. Ostrum AM (-0.5bps QoQ), which fee rate stands at ~4bps.

Asset management AuM are up +6% QoQ at constant perimeter (+€177bn impact from LBP AM integration) with net inflows and a positive market effect (+€59bn) more than offsetting a negative FX impact of €(20)bn (USD depreciation). As at end-December 2020, AuM reached €1,117bn excl. H2O AM and €1,135 incl. H2O AM. Strong performance of Harris Associates’ products with AuM up from ~$76bn as at end-March 2020 to ~$104bn as at end-December 2020, up >60% excluding outflows driven by market effects. AM net inflows reached ~€11bn in 4Q20. North American affiliates (~€4bn net inflows) continue to exhibit strong momentum across fixed income and growth equity strategies while Mirova remains the first gatherer of net new money on LT products in Europe. Strong demand for private assets across the board notably for AEW (real estate) in both North America and Europe and Vauban (infrastructure).

Underlying net revenues are on an upward trend with 4Q20 being the highest quarter of the year and with a +2% YoY growth at constant exchange rate vs. 4Q19.

Global markets: FICT revenues are at €252m in 4Q20, down YoY notably due to a lower contribution from Rates/FX and with stable Credit despite a high base effect. 2020 FICT revenues in line with their 2019 level. Equity revenues are at €127m in 4Q20 on the back of favorable market conditions and a strong rebound in commercial activity. EQD repositioning implemented towards end-4Q20.

Global finance: Net revenues are at €347m in 4Q20, highest quarter of the year although below a historically high 4Q19. The QoQ evolution is driven by higher portfolio revenues from Real assets, notably in Infrastructure.

APPENDICES

Note on methodology:

The results at 31/12/2020 were examined by the board of directors at their meeting on 09/02/2021 which approved the 2020 accounts.

Figures at 31/12/2020 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” - amended below for subsequent developments

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 of €112m based on the 2020 original sale price of €10.70 per share. An additional €34m capital loss was recognized in 3Q20 to reflect the fact that the price of the transaction was revised down to €9.95 per share;
  

• 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 Financial investments division no longer exists. For financial communication purposes, as of 4Q20, all impacts related to Coface are shown in the P&L line “Other incl. minority interests”;
  

• In addition, the value of the retained stake (accounted for under the equity method) was impacted by a €57m impairment due to the drop in the value of Coface related to the context prevailing at December 31, 2020. For financial communication purposes, these two items – capital loss and residual stake impairment – are being classified as exceptional items since the first quarter of 2020;
  

• 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 “Other incl. minority interests”.

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.

^[1] In line with ECB recommendations, the 2019 dividend has been reintegrated into Natixis’ capital and no dividend accrual has been carried out over 9M20 - see press release dated 31/03/2020. Dividend proposal for FY20 deducted from capital as of 4Q20
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:
