Societe Generale’s Board of Directors, which met on November 3rd, 2021 under the chairmanship of Lorenzo Bini Smaghi, examined the Societe Generale Group’s results for Q3 and 9M 2021.

The various restatements enabling the transition from underlying data to published data are presented in the methodology notes (section 10.5).

Net banking incomeNet banking income increased by +14.9% (+15.0%*) vs. Q3 20, driven by a very strong momentum in all the businesses and the beginning of the recognition of the second TLTRO allowance for around EUR 0.1 billion.

French Retail Banking continued the progress initiated for several quarters. As a result, net banking income (excluding PEL/CEL provision) increased by +5.7% vs. Q3 20, driven by the recovery in net interest income and commissions.

International Retail Banking & Financial Services enjoyed strong revenue growth (+12.8%* vs.Q3 20), driven by the excellent momentum in Financial Services to Corporates (+39.9%* vs. Q3 20) and Insurance (+10.2%* vs. Q3 20). International Retail Banking also continued to progress (+4.0%* vs. Q3 20).

Global Banking & Investor Solutions also turned in an excellent performance, with revenues up +16.1% vs. Q3 20. Financing & Advisory enjoyed very strong growth (+30.7% vs. Q3 20) while Global Markets activity remained robust (+8.4% vs. Q3 20).

In 9M 21, the Group posted strong growth of +17.8% (+20.0%*) vs. 9M 20, with a positive contribution from all the businesses, and returned to a higher revenue level than in 9M 19 (EUR 18.5 billion).

Operating expenses In Q3 21, operating expenses totalled EUR 4,170 million on a reported basis and EUR 4,272 million on an underlying basis (restated for the linearisation of IFRIC 21 and transformation costs amounting to EUR 97 million), representing an increase of +6.8% vs. Q3 20.

Driven by a positive jaws effect, underlying gross operating income rose +32.8% to EUR 2,400 million and the underlying cost to income ratio improved by nearly 5 points (64% vs. 69% in Q3 20).

In 9M 21, costs amounted to EUR 13,025 million on a reported basis and EUR 12,594 million on an underlying basis, up +3.3% vs. 9M 20. This limited growth can be explained by the rise in variable costs linked to the growth in revenues (EUR +595 million) and the increase in the IFRIC 21 charge (EUR +67 million). The other operating expenses declined by EUR 207 million, excluding structure effect.

Cost of risk

In Q3 21, the commercial cost of risk stood at a low level of 15 basis points, or EUR 196 million, lower than in Q3 20 (40 basis points) and slightly higher than in Q2 21 (11 basis points). It breaks down into a provision on non-performing loans of EUR 266 million and a provision write-back on performing loans of EUR 70 million.

The Group’s provisions on performing loans currently amount to EUR 3,486 million.

As part of the support provided to its customers during the crisis, the Group granted State Guaranteed Loans. At September 30th 2021, the residual amount of State Guaranteed Loans represented around EUR 17 billion. In France, the total amount of State Guaranteed Loans (“PGE”) amounts to aroundEUR 15 billion and net exposure is less than EUR 2 billion.

The gross doubtful outstandings ratio amounted to 3.1%4(1) at September 30th 2021, stable vs. end-June 2021. The Group’s gross coverage ratio for doubtful outstandings also remained stable at 52%5(2) at September 30th 2021 vs. June 30th 2021.

The cost of risk is not expected to exceed 20 basis points in 2021.

Volumes were particularly high on investment solutions products (structured products and listed products) and on prime services products.Revenues totalled EUR 2,423 million in 9M 21 (vs. EUR 682 million in 9M 20).

Market conditions were less favourable for the Fixed Income franchise model: substantial spread compression on financing, coupled with reduced client demand in Fixed Income markets. The environment was also unfavourable in Asia. However, commercial activity remained resilient on the Corporates franchise. Fixed Income & Currency activities posted revenues of EUR 380 million inQ3 21, down -33% vs. a good Q3 20. Revenues were 21% lower in 9M 21 compared to the exceptionally high level in 9M 20.

Net inflow amounted to EUR +2.2 billion during the quarter. Net banking income totalled EUR 528 million in 9M 21, up +2.3% vs. 9M 20 (when restated for an exceptional impact of EUR +29 million related to an insurance payout received in 2020, it is up +8.4%).

1. CONCLUSION

The Group delivered an excellent performance in the first 9 months of 2021. All the businesses experienced healthy revenue growth, compared to the first 9 months of 2020, and a improvement in their cost to income ratio due to disciplined cost management.

At end-September 2021, the Group’s CET1 ratio stood at 13.4%10(1) comfortably above its regulatory requirement, after taking account of the distribution provision of EUR 2.0311(2) (financing both dividend and share buyback) and the capital impact of the announced share buyback programme of around EUR 470 million. Authorised by the ECB on September 30th 2021, the Group intends to implement the programme as from November 4th and by end-2021. During this period, the group will suspend the liquidity contract.

Furthermore, the Group continues to execute its strategy with the achievement, this quarter, of a new key milestone. On October 12th, the Group provided information on the model and the detailed organisational structure of its new French Retail Bank. The project to merge the networks is therefore progressing according to the announced timetable. The other businesses are successfully rolling out their strategy presented at the dedicated Investor Days.

1. APPENDIX 2: METHODOLOGY

1 –The financial information presented in respect of Q3 and 9M 2021 was examined by the Board of Directors on November 3rd, 2021 and has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted in the European Union and applicable at that date. This information has not been audited.

2 - Net banking incomeThe pillars’ net banking income is defined on page 41 of Societe Generale’s 2021 Universal Registration Document. The terms “Revenues” or “Net Banking Income” are used interchangeably. They provide a normalised measure of each pillar’s net banking income taking into account the normative capital mobilised for its activity.

3 - Operating expenses

Operating expenses correspond to the “Operating Expenses” as presented in note 8.1 to the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at December 31st, 2020 (pages 466 et seq. of Societe Generale’s 2021 Universal Registration Document). The term “costs” is also used to refer to Operating Expenses. The Cost/Income Ratio is defined on page 41 of Societe Generale’s 2021 Universal Registration Document.

4 - IFRIC 21 adjustment

The IFRIC 21 adjustment corrects the result of the charges recognised in the accounts in their entirety when they are due (generating event) so as to recognise only the portion relating to the current quarter, i.e. a quarter of the total. It consists in smoothing the charge recognised accordingly over the financial year in order to provide a more economic idea of the costs actually attributable to the activity over the period analysed.

5 – Exceptional items – Transition from accounting data to underlying data

It may be necessary for the Group to present underlying indicators in order to facilitate the understanding of its actual performance. The transition from published data to underlying data is obtained by restating published data for exceptional items and the IFRIC 21 adjustment.

Moreover, the Group restates the revenues and earnings of the French Retail Banking pillar for PEL/CEL provision allocations or write-backs. This adjustment makes it easier to identify the revenues and earnings relating to the pillar’s activity, by excluding the volatile component related to commitments specific to regulated savings.

The reconciliation enabling the transition from published accounting data to underlying data is set out in the table below:

6 - Cost of risk in basis points, coverage ratio for doubtful outstandings

The cost of risk or commercial cost of risk is defined on pages 43 and 635 of Societe Generale’s 2021 Universal Registration Document. This indicator makes it possible to assess the level of risk of each of the pillars as a percentage of balance sheet loan commitments, including operating leases.

	(In EUR m)	Q3 21	Q3 20	9M 21	9M 20
French Retail Banking	Net Cost Of Risk	(5)	130	124	821

	Cost of Risk in bp	15	40	16	67

The gross coverage ratio for doubtful outstandings is calculated as the ratio of provisions recognised in respect of the credit risk to gross outstandings identified as in default within the meaning of the regulations, without taking account of any guarantees provided. This coverage ratio measures the maximum residual risk associated with outstandings in default (“doubtful”).

7 - ROE, ROTE, RONE

The notions of ROE (Return on Equity) and ROTE (Return on Tangible Equity), as well as their calculation methodology, are specified on page 43 and 44 of Societe Generale’s 2021 Universal Registration Document. This measure makes it possible to assess Societe Generale’s return on equity and return on tangible equity.RONE (Return on Normative Equity) determines the return on average normative equity allocated to the Group’s businesses, according to the principles presented on page 44 of Societe Generale’s 2021 Universal Registration Document.Group net income used for the ratio numerator is book Group net income adjusted for “interest net of tax payable on deeply subordinated notes and undated subordinated notes, interest paid to holders of deeply subordinated notes and undated subordinated notes, issue premium amortisations” and “unrealised gains/losses booked under shareholders’ equity, excluding conversion reserves” (see methodology note No. 9). For ROTE, income is also restated for goodwill impairment.Details of the corrections made to book equity in order to calculate ROE and ROTE for the period are given in the table below:
