Paris, 8 February 2023

Amundi’s Board of Directors, chaired by Yves Perrier, convened on 7 February 2023 to review the fourth-quarter and full-year 2022 financial statements.

Valérie Baudson, CEO, said:
“Amundi posted strong performances in 2022.
Our net income¹ stood at €1.2bn, and our net inflows ended the year in decidedly positive territory, in contrast to the European asset management market.
These results were achieved thanks to the quality of our investment management teams, the adaptation of our product offering, but also thanks to our ability to lower our cost base in an unfavourable market environment.
In 2022 Amundi continued its development, focusing on the growth drivers of its 2025 Ambitions Plan, namely in real assets, passive management, technology, services and Asia.
Lastly, the integration of Lyxor was successfully completed in less than nine months. It makes Amundi a European leader in ETFs, with a fully-operational platform, and it is already delivering cost and revenue synergies.
Our agility, growth drivers, diversification, high level of profitability and financial solidity allow us to be confident in Amundi’s value-creating capacity.
We propose to our shareholders a dividend for 2022 stable vs. 2021.”

2022 Highlights

Amundi outperforms in bear markets:

Inflows were positive at +€7bn for the year: business activity stayed solid, and the mix was positive for margins, with inflows +€10bn in the Retail segment (excluding JV) and +€8bn in MLT Assets.
Adjusted net income⁶^,⁷ was €1.2bn: high profitability was maintained, after a FY 2021 that enjoyed an exceptional level of performance fees; 2022 income is virtually stable compared to 2021 once this exceptional level is normalised.
This performance was achieved in volatile and bearish markets: equity markets⁸ fell -13% during the year, and fixed income markets⁹ lost -17%.
As a result, the open-ended fund market in Europe saw significant outflows in 2022, reflecting the rise in risk aversion from investors: -€57bn, including -€130bn on MLT assets and +€73bn on treasury products.

Amundi is adapting with agility:

Investment management generated a strong performance in 2022, across a wide range of asset classes, with 72%¹⁰ of the Group's open-ended funds in the first or second quartile of their Morningstar¹¹ category for their one-year performance, specifically for equity (global, US, euro volatility) and emerging market strategies. This reflects the good anticipation of market movements, particularly the change in inflation, and the return of bonds, as well as the portfolios’ adaptation to the new environment;
The product range was also adapted: the first half saw inflows of +€3bn in equities under active management, particularly in thematic products, whereas in the second half, the launches of Buy & Watch bond strategies generated inflows of +€2bn in the International networks and Third-Party Distribution; the adaptation of the structured product offering to match the new market environment (higher interest rates and flight to safety) meant Amundi could attract +€2.7bn, especially in the French and International Networks, thanks to new products (EMTN and formula funds);
Lastly, the cost base was reduced steadily throughout the year, with lower adjusted operating expenses each quarter: from €429m in the fourth quarter of 2021 (including Lyxor) to €412m in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Amundi continues its development thanks to the 2025 Ambition Plan growth drivers:

In 2022, the strengthening Amundi's leadership in asset management led to a good performance: AuM in Real Assets totalled €67bn at end 2022 (+8% compared to end 2021, and double that of 2016), for inflows of +€4.1bn in 2022 (of which +€2bn in real estate, +€1.5bn in private equity) and investments of €1.6bn in private debt as part of the “France Relance” recovery plan. With inflows of +€13.8bn, passive management is beginning to benefit from business synergies with Lyxor, and the setup of the Irish platform ICAV to develop its global and US equity products will further accelerate this growth. As for Asia, total AuM were €378bn at end 2022, thanks to high inflows excluding China: +€26 bn, of which +€18bn in India, +€4.6bn in Japan and +€1.6bn in Korea.
Responsible Investing solutions saw inflows of +€9bn¹² in 2022, with AuM at €800bn¹³; the ranges continue to be adapted. Active management saw the launch of “Ambition Net Zero” funds, contributing to the transition to a Net Zero economy, in four asset classes¹⁴, in line with the ESG Ambition 2025 Plan’s objective to launch an Ambition Net Zero range covering all the major strategies. In passive management, the portion of funds replicating ESG indexes in the ETF range rose from 22% of the total range at end 2021 to 27% at end 2022, on track for the goal to reach 40% in 2025.
Amundi’s position as a leading supplier of technology and services all along the savings and investment value chain draws on the growth of Amundi Technology. Revenues increased by +35% in 2022 over the previous year, thanks to the onboarding of eight new clients (47 at end 2022). Furthermore, the Alto suite was extended with the launch of Alto Sustainability, which offers external clients advanced portfolio analysis features according to Environmental, Social and Governance criteria, by incorporating the data of 25 potential suppliers based on each client's selection. To enhance the range of services offered by Amundi to its Partner networks and third-party distributors to manage their open architecture, Fund Channel, Amundi’s fund distribution platform, continued to develop, reaching €381bn under distribution with +€62bn in new assets, including from major clients like ABN Amro Private Banking. In addition to this, the subadvisory platform Fund Channel Investment Partners, launched at the end of 2021, now has a range of 13 third-party managed funds, with +€1.3bn in inflows in 2022.

Finally, the acquisition of Lyxor, completed in 2021, fits well with Amundi's objective to execute value-creative M&A transactions. Integration was completed in 2022, in less than nine months, the integrated platform is now operational, and the first synergies were achieved ahead of planning: one-third of cost synergies – about €20m for the year – and about one-quarter of revenue synergies were achieved. This acquisition makes Amundi a European leader in ETFs and enhances its active management offer, particularly in liquid alternatives.

Financial year 2022

High profitability: adjusted net income¹⁵ of €1.2bn
Solid business activity, with a favourable mix

Strong business activity in 2022

Amundi’s assets under management at 31 December 2022 totalled €1,904bn, a decline of -7.7%, due to the negative market effect (-€167bn), and despite positive net inflows of +€7bn for the year.

The net inflows break down into +€7.8bn in Medium-Long Term (MLT) Assets excluding joint ventures (JV), +€14.0bn for JVs, and net outflows of -€14.9bn in treasury products.

In 2022, by client segment, Retail saw inflows of +€9.9bn, JVs +€14.0bn and Institutionals -€17.0bn.

As regards Retail clients, the inflows were mainly in MLT Assets, +€7.9bn, driven by all segments except Amundi BOC WM:

French Networks saw inflows of +€1.4bn in MLT Assets, but had outflows in treasury products (-€1.0bn); inflows on MLT Assets in the second half were primarily in structured products, but also real assets and index management;
Inflows in International Networks amounted to +€3.9bn;
Amundi BOC WM in China posted outflows of -€3.9bn, due to the maturities of funds launched in 2021 and to the local situation;
Third-Party Distribution had an uneven year, with very high inflows in MLT Assets in the first half (+€13.8bn), then saw a risk-reduction movement in client portfolios in the second half, specifically in passive management, resulting in overall inflows of +€9.4bn for the year, of which +€6.5bn in MLT Assets.

Institutional clients saw inflows of +€5.7bn in MLT assets excluding CA & SG Insurers, thanks to the addition of several large mandates in index and multi-asset management. Outflows at CA & SG insurers (-€5.8bn) reflect the withdrawals in traditional life insurers (euro funds). Treasury products suffered net outlows (-€16.9bn), especially by Corporate clients over the first nine months of 2022.

Inflows at the JVs remained high in 2022, at +€14.0bn, despite continued outflows on Channel business¹⁶ (-€5.3bn, after -€18.4bn in 2021) and an unfavourable economic climate in China. However, the JV in India, SBI MF, continued to win market shares, representing 17.7% of the open-ended fund market at end December 2022, with inflows of +€18bn over the full year.

Inflows in MLT Assets excluding JVs, Amundi BOC WM and CA & SG Insurers over the year stood at +€17.5bn, of which +€14.5bn in passive management and +€3.0bn in active management, structured products and Real and Alternative Assets. By areas of expertise, these figures reflect the following trends:

Inflows in active management were driven by Equities, in particular in the first half of the year, and by Bonds in the second half.
Expertise in Real Assets continued to grow, albeit offset by the outflows in Alternatives resulting from withdrawals on a few major contracts;
Structured Products had an uneven year; outflows in the first half due to market conditions were subtanstially offset in the second half by the products’ strong momentum in the French and International networks.
Lastly, inflows in Passive management came from several large index mandates with institutional clients and strong first-half inflows in Third Party Distribution

Overall, 2022 inflows show a favourable mix for margins, thanks to the better inflows in Retail and MLT Assets.

High net income in 2022

Adjusted data¹⁷

In 2022, adjusted net income¹⁷ was €1,178m, a -10.5% decline on adjusted net income published in 2021 and down -13% adjusted net income on a like-for-like basis¹⁸, i.e. including Lyxor in 2021. This is largely due to the exceptional performance fees in 2021: €427m, compared to €171m in 2022, which represents a more normal level.

By “normalising” the 2021 level of performance fees to the 2017-2020 average, 2022 adjusted net income was virtually stable vs. 2021, and down very slightly like-for-like¹⁸.

These solid results in volatile bear markets were thanks to multiple factors.

Net revenues¹⁷ totalled €3,137m.

Net management fees remained at a high level: €2,965m, up by +7.6% compared to 2021 as reported, and stable like-for-like¹⁸, thanks to the already mentioned improved business mix (Retail, MLT Assets); this offset the drop in AuM related to the market effect, with a slight improvement in the margin on average AuM, at 17.8 basis points in 2022 versus 17.5 in 2021 like-for-like¹⁸;
Amundi Technology’s revenues posted robust growth (+35% compared to 2021), at €48m;
Performance fees (€171m) normalised in 2022 compared to 2021, as anticipated, but remained strong considering the bearish market environments, thanks to the successful adaptation of investment strategies.

To be noted: the decline in adjusted revenues like-for-like¹⁸ (-8.2%) is almost entirely explained by the drop in performance fees between the two financial years.

Operating expenses¹⁷ remained well under control, at €1,671m, up +8.9% on 2021, but down -1.1% like-for-like¹⁸. Investments and the unfavourable currency effect were absorbed by gains in productivity and the first synergies generated by the integration of Lyxor, which totalled some €20m in FY 2022. Synergies have been achieved earlier compared to the initial target that envisaged a minimum amount in 2022, an acceleration in 2024 and full achievement in 2024 (€60m in full year).

This cost control helped to contain the cost/income ratio¹⁷ to 53.3%. The 2021 cost/income ratio¹⁷ was 49.4% like-for-like, i.e. including Lyxor as of 2021, which was a much more positive market environment, and the exceptional performance fees, and 52.5% excluding this exceptional effect.

Gross Operating Income (GOI)¹⁷ was at €1,466m, down -12.2% from 2021 as reported, and -15.1% like-for-like¹⁸.

The contribution from equity-accounted entities, which reflects Amundi's share in the net profits of the JVs in India, China, (ABC-CA), South Korea and Morocco, rose +4.6% to €88m.

Accounting data

Net accounting income group share stood at €1,074m and includes the costs of Lyxor’s integration on a full-year basis (-€46m after tax in 2022), the amortisation of an intangible asset (client contracts) also connected to the acquisition of Lyxor (-€10m after tax, starting in 2022), the amortisation of distribution agreements (stable compared to 2021, at €49m after tax).

Earnings per share was €5.28.

Q4 2022

Inflows of €15bn
Adjusted¹⁹ net income²⁰ of €303m (up +7.5% vs. Q3 2022)

Positive flows despite persistent client risk aversion

Total inflows were +€15.0bn, driven by treasury products (+€20.8bn) and marginally positive MLT Assets (excl. JVs) (+€0.4bn). The high inflows in treasury products were mainly the result of the Corporates segment, evidence of their renewed attraction following the return to positive short-term rates.

In Retail, the French and International networks (excluding Amundi BOC WM) posted a solid quarter in MLT assets, with +€2.6bn net inflows, specifically on structured products (France, Spain), real assets and index funds (France), and Buy & Watch bond funds (Italy). Third-Party Distributors were virtually flat, with arbitrages from riskier MLT asset classes to treasury products. Lastly, Amundi BOC WM recorded outflows in the fourth quarter (-€2.4bn).

In the Institutional client segment, inflows in Treasury products were +€17.2bn, driven by corporates, and inflows in MLT assets were +7.9bn€ excluding CA & SG Insurers, particularly in index and multi-assets, CA & SG insurers saw outflows (-€4.9bn), due to withdrawals from traditional life insurance (euro funds);

The JVs had outflows of -€6.2bn, driven by China (ABC -CA): -€6.7bn, of which -€1.7bn in the Channel Business.. In other JVs, inflows continued to be positive in India (+€2.5bn), but South Korea (JV with NH group) experienced outflows in Treasury products and posted net ouflows.

Rising fourth-quarter profitability

Adjusted data²⁰

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Amundi’s adjusted net income was €303m, rising +7.5% quarter-on-quarter, thanks to increased net revenues and sustained operational efficiency.

Net revenues²⁰ were up +4.2% compared to the third quarter of 2022:

Net management fees presented a moderate decline by -3.6% to €720m;
Performance fees were high, at €63m compared to €13m in the third quarter of 2022, benefiting from the seasonal effect of the funds’ anniversary dates on which performance fees are calculated (higher concentration in the fourth quarter) and the good investment performance across a wide range of strategies in 2022;
Finally, Amundi Technology revenues grew by +22% compared to the third quarter of 2022, to €15m.

Operating expenses²⁰ were down by -0.7% from the third quarter, to €412m, the third quarter of decline since the acquisition of Lyxor in the first quarter, stemming primarily from cost synergies related to the integration as well as the adjustment of expenses to the market backdrop.

As a consequence of the positive jaws effect between the two quarters, the cost/income ratio improved by 2.6 percentage points compared to the third quarter of 2022, to 52.1%. This improvement was largely driven by solid performance fees and Lyxor synergies in the fourth quarter.

Gross operating income²⁰ rose +10.2% compared to the third quarter.

The contribution from equity-accounted entities (JVs) stood at €24m in the fourth quarter of 2022, up +3.8% on the third quarter.

Accounting data
Net accounting income group share stood at €286m and includes costs related to the Lyxor integration ( -€2m after tax in Q4 2022), amortisation of the intangible asset (client contracts) related to Lyxor ( -€2.5m after tax) and the usual amortisation of distribution agreements (-€12.2m after tax).

A solid financial structure and stable dividend vs. 2021

Amundi’s financial structure remains solid. At the end of 2022, tangible equity²¹ stood at €3.9bn, compared to €3.5bn at end 2021. The CET1²² ratio was 19.1%, well above regulatory requirements and an increase on end 2021 (16.1%), which already included Lyxor on the balance sheet and in solvency calculations.

As a reminder, in May 2022, rating agency Fitch reiterated Amundi’s A+ rating with a stable outlook, the best in the sector.

The Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting to be held on 12 May 2023 a dividend of €4.10 per share, in cash, stable compared to the dividend paid for FY 2021.

This dividend represents a payout ratio of 75% net income, Group share²³ and a 6.6% dividend yield based on the share price at 6 February 2023 (closing price of €62.45).

Shares shall be designated ex-dividend on 22 May 2023 and the dividend will be paid out as of 24 May 2023.

Since the listing, TSR²⁴ (total shareholder return) stands at 81%.

Methodology appendix

I. Accounting and adjusted data

Accounting data: In 12M 2021 and 2022, data after amortisation of intangible assets (see below); in 2021, costs associated with the integration of Lyxor in Q4 (€12m after tax and €16m before tax) and the impact of Affrancamento³⁴ (€114m net of tax costs in Q2); in 2022 the integration costs of Lyxor (€46m after tax and €62m before tax, including in Q4 €1.7m after tax and €2.3m before tax).
Adjusted data: the following adjustments were made to present the most economically accurate income statement: restatement of the amortisation of intangible assets deducted from net revenues (distribution agreements with Bawag, UniCredit and Banco Sabadell, the intangible asset representing Lyxor client contracts); integration costs related to Lyxor; impact of Affrancamento in 2021.

In the accounting data, amortisation of distribution agreements and the intangible asset, representing Lyxor client contracts:

Q4 2022: €20m before tax and €15m after tax; Q4 2021: €17m before tax and €12m after tax
12M 2022: €82m before tax and €59m after tax; 12M 2021: €68m before tax and €49m after tax

II. Normalised data

In 2021, a record amount of performance fees had been registered (427M€). This amount is significantly higher than the average from 2017 to 2020 (i.e. approx. €170m per year).To compare the 2022 data with 2021, Amundi computes a normalized amount of performance fees with those amount historically recorded, though excluding the performance fees impact. Details in the IAP table on the next page

III. Acquisition of Lyxor

In accordance with IFRS 3, recognition on Amundi’s balance sheet as of 31/12/2021 of:
- goodwill in the amount of €652m;
- 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 income statement, the above-mentioned intangible asset will be amortised on a straight-line basis over 3 years starting in 2022; the full-year impact of this amortisation will be €10m net of tax (i.e. €13m before tax). This amortisation will be recognised as a deduction from net income and is added to the existing amortisation of distribution agreements.
€77m of integration costs before tax have been booked, of which €16m before tax booked in Q4 2021 and €62m in 2022 (see above).

IV. Alternative Performance Indicators³⁵
To present the most economically accurate income statement, Amundi publishes adjusted data which excludes amortisation of intangible assets and the impact of Affrancamento (see above).
These adjusted and normalised data are reconciled with accounting data as follows:
