Notes on methodology
Presentation of pro-forma quarterly results
The segment information has been modified as of Q1-19 in in order to reflect the execution of our strategic projects:
Retail Banking & Insurance: creation of the Financial Solutions & Expertise division (FSE), comprising the following activities: factoring, consumer credit, sureties & financial guarantees, and retail securities services (these activities previously formed part of the Specialized Financial Services division, SFS); and Payments becomes a full-fledged division (this activity was previously pursued in the SFS division).Corporate & Investment Banking: film industry financing, previously managed by the SFS division within the RB&I business line, has been reallocated to Global finance within CIB.Asset & Wealth Management: the Employee savings plan activity, previously a part of the SFS division within the RB&I business line, has now been reallocated to the Asset & Wealth Management business line.In the Corporate center business line, equity interests chiefly include Coface and CNP Assurances, while the Run-off activities include, in particular, Crédit Foncier (with the exception of Socfim and CFI allocated to RB&I) and BPCE International (except for Pramex allocated to RB&I).The previous quarters have been restated accordingly.Restatement of the impact of IFRIC 21
The results, cost/income ratios and ROE, after being restated to account for the impact of IFRIC 21, are calculated on the basis of ¼ of the amount of taxes and contributions resulting from the interpretation of IFRIC 21 for a given quarter, or ½ of the amount of taxes and contributions resulting from the interpretation of IFRIC 21 for a 6-month period. In practice, for Groupe BPCE, the principal taxes concerned by IFRIC 21 are the company social solidarity contribution (C3S) and contributions and levies of a regulatory nature (systemic risk tax levied on banking institutions, contribution to ACPR control costs, contribution to the Single Resolution Fund and to the Single Supervisory Mechanism).
Net banking income
Customer net interest income, excluding regulated home savings schemes, is computed on the basis of interest earned from transactions with customers, excluding net interest on centralized savings products (Livret A, Livret Développement Durable, Livret Epargne Logement passbook savings accounts) in addition to changes in provisions for regulated home purchase savings schemes. Net interest on centralized savings is assimilated to commissions.
Operating expenses
The operating expenses correspond to the aggregate total of the “Operating Expenses” (as presented in the Group’s registration document, note 4.7 appended to the consolidated financial statements of Groupe BPCE) and “Depreciation, amortization and impairment for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.”
Cost of risk
The cost of risk is expressed in basis points and measures the level of risk per business line as a percentage of the volume of loan outstandings; it is calculated by comparing net provisions booked with respect to credit risks of the period to gross customer loan outstandings at the beginning of the period.
Business line performance presented using Basel-3 standards
The accounting ROE of Groupe BPCE is the ratio between the following items:
Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent restated to account for the interest expense related to deeply subordinated notes classified as equity and for non-economic and exceptional items.Equity attributable to equity holders of the parent restated to account for the deeply subordinated notes classified as equity and for unrealized gains and losses.The normative ROE of the business lines is the ratio between the following items:Business line contributory net income attributable to equity holders of the parent, less interest (computed at the standard rate of 2%) paid on surplus equity compared with normative capital and restated to account for non-economic and exceptional items.Normative capital adjusted to reflect goodwill and intangible assets related to the business line.Normative capital is allocated to Groupe BPCE business lines on the basis of 10.5% of Basel-3 average risk-weighted assets.Capital adequacy after deduction of IPCCommon Equity Tier 1 is determined in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules and after deduction of irrevocable payment commitmentsAdditional Tier-1 capital takes account of subordinated debt issues that have become non-eligible and subject to ceilings at the phase-out rate in force.The leverage ratio is calculated using the rules of the Delegated Act published by the European Commission on October 10, 2014, without transitional measures. Securities financing operations carried out with clearing houses are offset on the basis of the criteria set forth in IAS 32, without consideration of maturity and currency criteria.            Following the decision of July 13, 2018 handed down by the General Court of the European Union, Groupe BPCE again requested the agreement of the ECB to exclude the centralized outstandings of regulated savings from the calculation of the denominator of the ratio.Total loss-absorbing capacity
The amount of liabilities eligible for inclusion in the numerator used to calculate the Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) ratio is determined on the basis of our understanding of the Term Sheet published by the FSB on November 9, 2015: “Principles on Loss-Absorbing and Recapitalization Capacity of G-SIBs in Resolution.” This amount is comprised of the following 4 items:
Common Equity Tier 1 in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules,Additional Tier-1 capital in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules,Tier-2 capital in accordance with the applicable CRR/CRD IV rules,Subordinated liabilities not recognized in the capital mentioned above and whose residual maturity is greater than 1 year, namely:The share of additional Tier-1 capital instruments not recognized in common equity (i.e. included in the phase-out),The share of the prudential discount on Tier-2 capital instruments whose residual maturity is greater than 1 year,The nominal amount of senior non-preferred securities maturing in more than 1 year.Eligible amounts differ slightly from the amounts adopted for the numerator of the capital adequacy ratios; these eligible amounts are determined using the principles defined in the Term Sheet published by the FSB on November 9, 2015.Liquidity
Total liquidity reserves comprise the following:
Central bank-eligible assets include: ECB-eligible securities not eligible for the LCR, taken for their ECB valuation (after the ECB haircut), securities retained (securitization and covered bonds) that are available and ECB-eligible taken for their ECB valuation (after ECB haircut) and private receivables available and eligible for central bank funding (ECB and the Federal Reserve), net of central bank funding.LCR eligible assets comprising the Group’s LCR reserve taken for their LCR valuation.Liquid assets placed with central banks (ECB and the Federal Reserve), net of US Money Market Funds deposits and to which fiduciary money is added.Short-term funding corresponds to funding with an initial maturity of less than, or equal to, 1 year and the short-term maturities of medium-/long-term debt correspond to debt with an initial maturity date of more than 1 year maturing within the next 12 months. Customer deposits are subject to the following adjustments:Addition of security issues placed by the Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne retail banking networks with their customers, and certain operations carried out with counterparties comparable to customer depositsWithdrawal of short-term deposits held by certain financial customers collected by Natixis in pursuit of its intermediation activities.Loan outstandings and Deposits & Savings
Restatements regarding transitions from book outstandings to outstandings under management (Loans and Deposits & Savings) are as follows:
Deposits & Savings: the scope of outstandings under management excludes debt securities (certificates of deposit and savings bonds)Loan outstandings: the scope of outstandings under management excludes securities classified as customer loans and receivables and other securities classified as financial operations.
