    Paris, 27 October 2023

    Amundi’s Board of Directors, chaired by Philippe Brassac, convened on 26 October 2023 to review the financial statements for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023.

    Valérie Baudson, Chief Executive Officer, said:

    “Amundi posted a good performance in terms of both business activity and financial results in the third quarter of 2023.

    Our solutions, adapted to the high-interest-rate and high-inflation environment, continued to attract many clients against a backdrop of uncertainty, still characterised by significant risk aversion. Amundi generated high inflows of +€14bn, driven by our two strategic development priorities, passive management and Asia.

    Net income was high, reflecting Amundi’s good operational efficiency and diversified profile. Quarter after quarter, these results confirm the Group's effective positioning on long-term growth trends and the relevance of our strategic plan.”

    Continued risk aversion

    Bond markets6 have been relatively stable since the beginning of the year. However, they were down -4.5% quarter-on-quarter (on an average basis), with long-term rates7 increasing by +120 basis points on average between these two periods. The equity markets8 experienced a sharp decline at the end of the third quarter, breaking with the growth seen since the fourth quarter of 2022; their rise was limited to +2.0% on average in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter, and they have gained +13.6% year-on-year.

    The market effect was virtually neutral in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter, and positive year-on-year. These fluctuations have not reduced the risk aversion that has prevailed for several quarters now.

    Investors remain cautious and this resulted in low inflows on the asset management market in Europe, with slightly positive inflows in open-ended funds9 (+€36bn in the third quarter). It was higher than in the previous quarter (+€23bn) but it remained mainly driven by treasury products (+€47bn) and passive management (+€47bn), while medium/long-term active management saw its outflows accelerate over the quarter (-€59bn vs. -€24bn in the second quarter).

    1. Business activity

    High inflows, positive in MLT10 assets, Treasury products and JVs

    Amundi’s assets under management at 30 September 2023 were up +4.1% year on year (compared with end-September 2022) and up +0.6% this quarter (compared with the end of June 2023), at €1,973bn. The market effect was virtually neutral during the quarter (-€1.7bn) and positive year-on-year (+€56.8bn).

    Amundi generated high net inflows of +€13.7bn, positive in both MLT assets10 and treasury products, in the Retail, Institutional and JV segments.

    • +€7.8bn in MLT assets10,11, thanks in particular to two institutional mandates, and driven by passive management (+€10.8bn, including +€3.6bn in ETFs); like in the European market as a whole, active management recorded outflows (-€3.0bn), continuing the rotation of previous quarters, with withdrawals from Multi-Asset and Equity funds, partially offset by bond inflows;
    • +€3.5bn in treasury products11, driven mainly by the return of Retail clients to this asset class (+€2.7bn), reflecting risk aversion and the attractiveness of yields at the short end of the yield curve;
    • Lastly, the JVs12 posted net inflows of +€2.4bn, thanks to the continued development of the Indian JV SBI MF (+€2.0bn, of which +€3.4bn in MLT assets10) and the stabilisation of the Chinese JV ABC-CA (at breakeven overall, but with inflows of +€0.3bn excluding the outflows in the Channel Business, a low-margin activity that is in run-off); the other JVs also posted positive net inflows (+€0.4bn).

    By client segment, Retail recorded positive net inflows of +€2.0bn, characterised as in previous quarters by a high level of risk aversion. It reflects strong inflows in treasury products (+€2.7bn) and conversely limited outflows in MLT assets10 (-€0.7bn), broken down by type of client:

    • Third-Party Distributors (+€2.1bn) recorded strong activity in ETFs/index funds as well as treasury products;
    • the Partner Networks excluding Amundi BOC WM (+€0.3bn) continued to capitalise on the success of structured products and recorded a renewed interest in treasury products;
    • in China, Amundi BOC WM experienced outflows (-€0.5bn), as the confirmed ramp-up of the new open-ended fund offering was unable to offset the maturity of term funds this quarter.

    Lastly, the Institutionals segment recorded strong net inflows, at +€9.3bn, especially in MLT Assets10 (+€8.5bn), including two large, low-margin mandates with institutional investors, one in equity index solutions and another one in bond solutions. On the other hand, CA & SG Insurers continued their redemptions (-€3.1bn), linked, as in previous quarters, to the withdrawals of traditional life insurance policies by their clients. Profit-taking in the Employee & Retirement Savings business (net outflows of -€0.9bn) was also noteworthy, as employees of issuers whose shares had risen significantly in previous months sold their employee share ownership funds.

    1. Results

    Profitability maintained at a high level in the third quarter

    Adjusted data13

    In the third quarter of 2023, adjusted net income13 reached €290m, up +3.0% on the third quarter of 2022. This result was achieved thanks to a further increase in revenues, in particular due to the resilience of management fees despite the risk-off environment, and operational efficiency, which enabled a smaller annual increase in expenses than revenues, despite the inflationary environment.

    Adjusted net revenues13 amounted to €780m, up +2.9% compared to the third quarter of 2022.

    • Net management fees held up well over one year, at €737m, down -1.4% compared to the third quarter of 2022, which had benefited from non-recurring items;
    • Performance fees totalled €10m, compared to €13m in the third quarter of 2022 and €51m in the second quarter of 2023. This was due to the adoption of a prudent investment policy in uncertain markets; in addition, the number of fund anniversary dates, and therefore performance fee bookings, is traditionally lower in the third quarter;
    • Amundi Technology’s revenues, at €14m, continued to grow: +13% compared to the third quarter 2022;
    • Finally, net financial and other income amounted to €19m, thanks to positive rates of return on the investment of net cash; this compares to negative revenues in the third quarter of 2022 (-€13m), a quarter that was marked by still negative short-term rates in the eurozone and a market environment that was unfavourable to the investment portfolio (decline in the equity and fixed income markets).

    The very good control of operating expenses13 (€424m) helped to contain the increase in costs below that of revenues, at only +2.3% compared to the third quarter of 2022. As in previous quarters, the impact of inflation, which stands at 4.3% year-on-year in the eurozone14, and development investments were largely absorbed by productivity gains and synergies generated by the integration of Lyxor, which have now been almost entirely realised.

    This good cost control, which was confirmed again this quarter, reflects Amundi's agility in adjusting its cost base, and the Group has the best cost/income ratio13 in the sector at 54.4%, a slight improvement compared to the third quarter of 2022 (54.7%).

    Adjusted gross operating income13 (GOI) came to €356m, up +3.6% compared to the third quarter of 2022.

    Income from associates, which reflects Amundi’s share of the net income of the minority JVs in India (SBI MF), China (ABC-CA), South Korea (NH-Amundi) and Morocco (Wafa Gestion), was up +2.0% compared to the third quarter of 2022, at €24m, reflecting continued strong growth in India and Korea, which was partially offset by China, whose contribution remains positive but down compared to previous quarters.

    Adjusted net earnings per share13 was €1.42 in the third quarter of 2023.

    Accounting data for third quarter 2023

    Accounting net income Group share came to €276m. This amount includes the amortisation of intangible assets (client contracts linked to the acquisition of Lyxor and distribution agreements related to previous acquisitions), representing -€15m after tax. The end of the integration costs relating to Lyxor were recognised in 2022, and therefore had no effect on the 2023 accounts.

    Accounting net earnings per share stood at €1.35 for the third quarter of 2023.

    Over the first nine months of 2023, adjusted net income amounted to €910m, up +4.0%, reflecting the same trends as in the third quarter:

    • adjusted net revenue13 increased by +2.2% compared to the first nine months of 2022, to €2,397m, driven as in the third quarter by net financial and other income (€49m vs. -€40m in the first nine months of 2022) and Amundi Technology’s revenues (+25.8% to €42m). Net management fees were down slightly but not as much as average assets under management excluding JVs, at -1.3% vs. -1.9%, reflecting resilient margins thanks to a favourable client mix. Meanwhile, performance fees were down much more sharply, at -17.2% (€89m vs. €108m), reflecting the prudent investment policy in risky assets;
    • adjusted expenses15 remained under control, at €1,280m, up +1.7% compared to the first nine months of 2022, a slower growth than that of revenues, despite the inflationary environment; the adjusted cost/income ratio15 as 53.4%, compared to 53.7% over the first nine months of 2022.

    Adjusted gross operating income15 came to €1,117m, up +2.7% compared to the first nine months of 2022.

    Income from equity-accounted companies, at €73m, was up sharply by +13.8% compared to the first nine months of 2022, mainly driven by the JV in India.

    Adjusted net earnings per share15 were €4.46 for the first nine months of 2023.

    Accounting data for the first nine months of 2023

    Accounting net income, Group share came to €866m. This amount includes the amortisation of intangible assets (client contracts linked to the acquisition of Lyxor and distribution agreements related to previous acquisitions), representing -€44m after tax for the first nine months of 2023. No integration costs were recorded for Lyxor during the year.

    Accounting net earnings per share for the first nine months 2023 reached €4.25.

    1. Continued growth initiatives

    Amundi is continuing its Ambitions 2025 strategic plan:

    • Passive management recorded strong inflows this quarter of +€10.8bn, in index/smart beta products (+€7.2bn) and in ETFs (+€3.6bn);
    • In Asia, inflows reached +€3.4bn, driven by the JV in India, the start of stabilisation of JVs in China and strong activity in Singapore (+€0.7bn), Japan (+€0.6bn) and Taiwan (+€0.3bn);
    • In Responsible Investment, Amundi Transition Energétique16, in association with several Crédit Agricole Regional banks, launched in September a new infrastructure fund to finance local production and consumption of renewable energies in the French regions; it is the third fund of this type in the Alba 2 investment programme. In addition, the range of funds that are part of the Net Zero trajectory17 now covers five asset classes and includes new funds this quarter, the objective being to achieve a full range by 2025Finally, the share of ETFs tracking responsible invertment indices has reached 32% of the range18, compared with 27% at the end of 2022 and on track to reach the target of 40% by 2025.
    1. A solid financial structure

    Tangible equity19 amounted to €4.1bn at 30 September 2023, up slightly compared to end-2022 (+€0.2bn) due to the net income since the beginning of 2023 (+€0.9bn), and the payment of dividends (-€0.8bn) last May for 2022.

    On 19 September, FitchRatings confirmed Amundi’s long-term rating of A+ with a stable outlook, which is the best in the sector.

    Methodology appendix

    Accounting and adjusted data

    • Accounting data – this includes amortisation of intangible assets and, in 2022, Lyxor integration costs.
    • Adjusted data – in order to present an income statement closer to economic reality, the following adjustments are made: restatement of the amortisation of distribution agreements with Bawag, UniCredit and Banco Sabadell and the intangible asset representing Lyxor's client contracts, recognised as a deduction from net revenues, and restatement of Lyxor's integration costs in 2022.

    The amortisation of distribution agreements and intangible assets representing Lyxor's client contracts had the following impact on accounting data:

    • Q3 2022: -€20m before tax and -€15m after tax
    • 9M 2022: -€61m before tax and -€44m after tax
    • Q2 2023: -€20m before tax and -€15m after tax
    • Q3 2023: -€20m before tax and -€15m after tax
    • 9M 2023: -€61m before tax and -€44m after tax

    Acquisition of Lyxor

    • In accordance with IFRS 3, recognition in Amundi’s balance sheet as of 31/12/2021:
      • of goodwill amounting to €652m;
      • of an intangible asset (representing client contracts) of -€40m before tax (-€30m after tax), which will be amortised on a straight-line basis over 3 years;
    • In the Group’s income statement, the net tax impact of this amortisation of the intangible asset is -€10m over a full year (i.e. -€13m before tax).        
      This amortisation is recognised as a deduction from net revenues and is added to the existing amortisation of distribution agreements.        
      In Q3 2022, Q2 and Q3 2023, the amortisation expense for this intangible asset after tax was -€2m (i.e. -€3m before tax); in 9M 2022 and 9M 2023 it was -€6m (i.e. -€8m before tax).
    • Integration costs were fully recognised in 2022 and 2021, for a total of €77m before tax and €57m after tax, o/w €40m before tax (€30m after tax) in Q3 2022 and €51m before tax (€37m after tax) in 9M 2022. No integration costs were recognised in 2023.

    Alternative performance indicators25

    In order to present an income statement that is closer to economic reality, Amundi publishes adjusted data excluding the amortisation of intangible assets.
