ROBUST FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE THANKS TO STRONG GROWTH IN NET BANKING INCOME
Net Banking Income (NBI) amounted to 1,014 million euros, up 7.8% compared to the end of June 2021. This increase is mainly due to the positive effect of the valuation of interest rate swaps resulting from rising interest rates. It should be noted that the impact of the valuation of the swaps is a temporary effect and will tend to be zero when the swaps expire. The contribution of service activities to net banking income represents 34.1%, almost stable compared to the first half of 2021.
Operating expenses amounted to 326 million euros, up 21 million euros compared to the end of June 2021. They represent 1.51% of APPs, up 15 basis points compared to the first half of 2021. This increase of 15 basis points is explained by the decrease in APPs in concessions and by the investments made in new activities and digitalization.
The cost of risk for retail activity (financing to individuals and businesses) amounted to 0.57% of APPs at the end of June 2022 compared to 0.32% of APPs at the end of June 2021. This increase is mainly due to standardization of risk parameters. The cost of risk for the wholesale activity (concession financing) amounted to a provision of -0.21% of APPs at the end of June 2022 compared to a provision of -0.56% at the end of June 2021. This change is mainly explained by the sharp drop in outstandings of the dealer network in the first half of 2021. The total cost of risk stood at 0.48% of APPs compared to 0.16% at the end of June 2021.
Pre-tax income amounted to 457 million euros compared to 598 million euros at the end of June 2021. This decrease is mainly due to an exceptional provision of 101.4 million euros on the investment in the Russian joint venture (RN bank).

Personal deposits have increased by 476 million euros since the beginning of the year to reach 21.5 billion euros, or 47% of the company’s net assets.
