The Board of Directors approved Natixis’ accounts for full-year 2016 on February 9, 2017.

For Natixis, the main features of 4Q16 were ⁽¹⁾:

• 3% yoy growth in core-business net revenues to €2.141bn.

Within the Investment Solutions core business, Asset Management recorded €2.2bn of net inflow in Europe and a marked slowdown in outflow in the US. The ramp-up of Insurance business lifted Insurance net revenues 16% over the full year.

Strong performances in Global Markets and M&A fueled a 21% increase in net revenues from Corporate & Investment Banking.

In Specialized Financial Services, strong business momentum in Specialized Financing is notably linked to the extension of relations with the Groupe BPCE networks.

• a marked improvement in the provision for credit loss to €60m, which extended the decline observed since the start of the year,
• a 20% yoy advance in restated net income (group share and excluding the IFRIC 21 impact) to €345m,
• core-business ROE of 13.1%, up 150bps yoy,
• a CET1 ratio⁽²⁾ of 11,0% at December 31, 2016, after factoring in the dividend⁽³⁾,
• a leverage ratio of 4.2% at end-December 2016.

Natixis completed the third year of the New Frontier plan with net revenues at €8.7bn and reported net profit (group share) at €1.4bn. The cost of risk declined to 34bps in 2016 from 36bps in 2015 and 38bps in 2014, thereby underlining Natixis’ ability to absorb sectoral shocks.

2016 once again underscored Natixis’ ability to generate capital and create value for shareholders, as witnessed by a cash dividend⁽³⁾ of €0.35 per share.

Laurent Mignon, Natixis Chief Executive Officer, said: “Despite demanding conditions in 2016, strong commercial dynamics fueled further growth in our core businesses revenues during the year as shown by high activity levels in 4Q16 and sharply improved profitability. In Corporate & Investment Banking, activity levels were robust on capital markets, but also in Investment Banking, thanks notably to the quick ramp-up of our M&A activities through Natixis Partners and PJ Solomon. In Asset Management, overall AuM made progress, despite a minor decline in the US, and margins resisted well. The extensive transformation of all our businesses is gaining pace with the execution of the Transformation and Business Efficiency program and is set to provide us with a stronger platform from which to attain our new strategic goals out to 2020.
