Paris, 26 July 2024
Amundi's Board of Directors, chaired by Philippe
Brassac, met on 25 July 2024 and approved the financial statements
for the first half and the second quarter of 2024.
Valérie Baudson, Chief Executive
Officer, stated:
“Amundi achieved very good performance in the second quarter of
2024, both in terms of activity, with net inflows of over +€15bn,
and financial results, with a net income up
+9%1 compared to the same period in
2023.
Since the beginning of the year, the
momentum of inflows has been particularly significant with our
Third-Party distributor clients as well as in Asia. The breadth of
our offering has been a major asset to meet the different needs of
our clients, whether through our active management solutions, in
particular fixed income, our structured products, or our passive
management funds.
Our assets under management reached a new
all-time high, at €2,156bn at end-June 2024.”
* * *
New strides in development
in line with the priorities of our 2025 Ambitions
plan
During the quarter, Amundi continued to
implement its 2025 Ambitions development plan, in accordance with
its strategic objectives:
- in
Asia, assets under management (AuM) increased by
+19% year-on-year, to €451bn, quadrupling from the time of Amundi's
listing in 2015; these assets under management now include nearly
€100bn in direct distribution, alongside the success of the JVs; H1
net inflows reached +€22bn, 10% of AuM annualised, distributed
between JVs at +€16bn and direct distribution at +€6bn. Amundi has
operations in most major countries in the region, and all of its
countries made positive contributions to H1 net inflows: India
(+€12bn), China (+€2bn), Hong Kong (+€3bn), South Korea (+€2bn),
Singapore (+€2bn) or Japan (+€2bn), to name the largest
contributors. Sales and marketing performance relies on major
distribution partnerships with top-tier local banks6 and
on trusting relationships with major institutions on the continent;
Amundi is rolling out its comprehensive range of expertise in both
active and passive solutions (including ETFs), as well as its
technology offering, with a first client signed in China;
- In
Third-Party Distribution, assets under management
grew by +18% year-on-year, to €359bn, now representing 55% of the
Retail segment (versus less than 20% at the time of listing in
2015, 40% in 2020). Despite risk aversion, net inflows exceeded
+€12bn over the half year (8% of annualised AuM), including
+€9bn in passive management and the return to positive net
inflows in active management. Net inflows were positive for all
markets: France, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, Asia, United
States and the rest of the world;
- in real
assets, the closing the acquisition of Alpha Associates on
2 April made it possible to create Amundi-Alpha Associates, a
business line covering the Group's entire multi-asset range, and to
roll out this offering to institutional distribution teams; new
strategies are also being launched;
- in passive
management, assets grew by +23% year-on-year to €382bn, in
part thanks to net inflows of +€8.5bn in H1, of which +€9.5bn in
ETFs; the business line launched fixed maturity bond ETFs this
quarter and continues its development in fixed income ETFs (+€3.5bn
net inflows during H1), particularly the “Euro sovereign debt” ETF,
which collected +€2.2bn since its creation in June 2023, of which
+€0.7bn in the first half of 2024;
- Amundi
Technology benefited from accelerating investments,
bolstering its development; revenues grew by +22% H1/H1, and seven
new clients were signed over the halfyear;
- New
responsible investment funds have been added to
the broad range available, with the launch of an SRI ETF in
partnership with the Fondo Latinoamericano de Reservas (FLAR), and
the “Amundi Private Equity Just Transition7” impact fund
with Banque des Territoires.
- Finally, the
definitive agreement to establish a strategic partnership with
Victory Capital, a US asset manager, was signed on
8 July. The closing of the transaction is expected in early 2025;
it aims at creating a larger US investment platform to serve the
clients of both companies; Amundi would thus have a greater number
of US and global management expertise to offer its clients. The
transaction, which involves no disbursement of cash, is expected to
bring a low single-digit accretion for Amundi shareholders, with an
increase in the contribution of our US operations to the adjusted
net income and EPS.
Rising markets, but continued risk
aversion
The quarter was characterised by stabilisation
of the equity
markets8, down -0.7% between
the end of March and the end of June, following their rally during
the three previous quarters. Average equity market
levels8 thus grew by +16.2% year-on-year in Q2 2024
compared with the same quarter in 2023, and by +4.6% compared with
Q1 2024. Bond
markets9, on
the other hand, remained at the same levels,
continuing their roughly year-long stabilisation following the
swift paradigm shift and steep rise in rates that marked 2022 and
early 2023.
In comparison to the 2021 averages, which served
as a reference point for the 2025 Ambitions plan, the market effect
on revenues and net income is close to neutral.
The European asset management
market experienced a gradual recovery. The low volumes in
open-ended funds10, +€128bn in the second quarter,
continued to be driven by treasury products (+€39bn) and passive
management (+€71bn). The second quarter was nevertheless marked by
a return to slightly positive flows in MLT active management
(+€19bn).
Activity
High net inflows in MLT
assets11, in Asia and
for Third -Party Distributors
Amundi's assets under management at 30
June 2024 rose +9.9% year-on-year
(compared to end-June 2023) and +1.9%
quarter-on-quarter (compared to end-March 2024), to
€2,156bn, a historic high.
In the second quarter of 2024, the market and
forex effect amounted to +€16.6bn (+€141.6bn year-on-year),
with the integration of Alpha Associates on 2 April adding +€8bn in
assets under management and Amundi generating positive net
inflows of +€15.5bn, of which:
- strong
inflows of +€15.1bn in MLT
assets11,12,
relatively balanced between active management (+€8.0bn), structured
products and real and alternative assets (+€1.0bn) and passive
management (+€6.0bn including +€4.5bn in ETFs); active management
continued to record strong interest in fixed income strategies
(+€8.1bn), while active management solutions in equities and
multi-assets were close to flat;
- seasonal
outflows, -€11.2bn, in treasury
products12, with the second
quarter recording every year redemptions from corporate clients
related to the payment of their dividends;
- finally,
JVs13
continued their solid sales momentum, with net inflows of
+€11.6bn, reflecting a positive contribution from all
countries: India (SBI MF, +€9.4bn), but also China this quarter
(ABC-CA, +€2.0bn excluding Channel Business), and South Korea
(NH-Amundi, +€0.5bn) for the main players.
With regard to the JVs, it should be noted that
the EPFO pension fund mandate did not result in any outflows in the
second quarter; the request for proposals announced during the
publication of the first-quarter results has been, in our
understanding, postponed indefinitely.
By client segment,
Retail recorded net inflows of +€2.2bn, of
which +€1.7bn in MLT
assets14,
with contrasting developments from one sub-segment to
another:
- A very good quarter
for Third-Party Distributors, with total net
inflows (+€5.4bn), concentrated in passive strategies and treasury
products; active management also recorded slightly positive inflows
for the second quarter in a row;
-
French (-€2.4bn) and International
Networks excluding Amundi BOC WM (-€1.2bn), on the other
hand, saw their activity levels affected by risk aversion from
their clients, particularly due to competition from other savings
products with a low risk profile: regulated savings (Livret A) and
the return to attractive levels of returns for traditional life
insurance products in France, and the new government bond issues in
Italy (BTP Valore, €11bn issued in June, i.e. €29bn since the start
of the year); the Sabadell network, however, continued its positive
momentum (+€0.6bn);
- in
China, Amundi BOC WM posted positive net
inflows this quarter (+€0.4bn), thanks to an acceleration in
subscriptions to open-ended funds.
The Institutional segment also
recorded very positive net inflows in MLT
Assets14
(+€13.4bn) in all sub-segments: Employee
Savings plan (+€3.6bn), thanks to employee share ownership
transactions, CA & SG Insurers’ Mandates,
with +€3.4bn thanks to the turnaround of the traditional
life/Euro contracts market, and above all, Institutionals
& Sovereigns for +€6.3bn, including the acquisition of
an institutional mandate in multi-assets (+€6bn). On the other
hand, treasury products experienced strong
seasonal outflows (-€11.7bn), traditionally linked
to the dividend payment period resulting in a need for cash among
companies.
It should be noted that the Institutional
segment should be losing a large European insurance mandate by the
end of the year. This mandate of approximately €12bn generates low
revenues.
Results
Sustained growth in net income, which
reached a high level in both Q2 and H1
Adjusted
data15
In the second quarter of 2024, adjusted
net income15 reached
€350m, up +9.4% compared to the second quarter of 2023,
and +10.2% compared to the first quarter of 2024. This incorporates
for the first time Alpha Associates, the acquisition of which
was finalised in early April.
The rise in net income is essentially due to the
organic growth of revenues, amplified by operational efficiency,
which helped generate a positive jaws effect, and by the very
strong momentum of the Asian JVs. However, these results were
achieved in a context of continued risk aversion and inflation.
Adjusted net
revenues15 rose to
€887m, up +7.7% compared to the second quarter of 2023, and +7.7%
as well compared to the first quarter of 2024.
- Sustained growth
for net management fees, up +6.7% year-on-year to
€794m, reflect the positive business momentum and the growth of
average assets under management excluding JVs (+8.1% over the same
period);
- Performance
fees (€50m) were nearly unchanged compared to the Q2 2023
(€51m); they increased compared to Q1 2024 (€18m) due to the higher
level of crystallisation16 in the second quarter;
- At €17m,
Amundi Technology's revenues continued to grow
strongly (+10.1% compared to Q2 2023), confirming the development
of this activity;
- Finally,
net financial and other
income17 doubled to €26m
thanks to the positive effect of the rise in short-term rates for
the investment of net cash and the payment of dividends generated
by the investment portfolio.
The increase in operating
expenses17, +7.0% compared to
the second quarter of 2023 to €461m, remained below revenue growth
(+7.7%) over the same period; this increase is mainly attributable
to:
- the first-time
consolidation of Alpha Associates;
- provisions for
individual variable compensation, in line with the growth of
operating income;
- and finally,
accelerated investment in development initiatives in accordance
with the growth drivers of the 2025 Ambitions Plan, particularly
technology.
The residual increase in expenses following
these items is in line with observed inflation.
The positive jaws effect is reflected in the
improved cost-income ratio, still the best in the sector:
51.9% in adjusted data17, which benefited from
the seasonal effect on performance fees mentioned above, as it does
in every Q2.
Adjusted gross operating
income17 (GOI) reached
€426m, up +8.5% compared to Q2 2023 and
+10.8% compared to Q1 2024.
The share of net income of
equity-accounted companies, reflecting Amundi's share in
the net income of minority JVs in India (SBI MF), China (ABC-CA),
South Korea (NH-Amundi), and Morocco (Wafa Gestion), was up
+20.3% relative to Q2 2023, at €33m,
amount representing over 9% of adjusted net income, reflecting a
healthy level of activity in India and South Korea.
Adjusted net earnings per
share17 in the second
quarter of 2024 reached €1.71, an
increase of +9.0%.
Accounting data for the second
quarter of 2024
Net income, Group share amounted to
€333m and includes non-cash charges relating to
acquisitions, particularly the amortisation of intangible assets
related to distribution agreements and client contracts (-€24m
before tax, including new corresponding charges relating to Alpha
Associates; see details on p. 11), bringing the total to -€17m
after tax in Q2 2024.
Net earnings per share in the second
quarter of 2024 reached €1.63.
In the first half of 2024,
adjusted net income18
amounted to €668m, up +7.7%, reflecting the same
trends as in the second quarter:
- adjusted
net revenues18 increased by
+5.8% compared with H1 2023 to €1,711m, a reflection in both H1 and
Q2 of the sustained growth in net management fees and the sharp
rise in revenues for Amundi Technology (€35m, +21.7%) and net
financial and other income18 (€50m, +70.7%); performance
fees, on the other hand, were down -15.0% to €67m;
- the +5.3% growth of
net management fees is just below that of average assets under
management excluding JVs (+7.0%), reflecting a slight decline in
margins of 17.6 basis points in H1 2024, versus
17.7 basis points for the whole of the year 2023; this
erosion is attributable to unfavourable changes in the product mix,
in a context of risk aversion from clients;
- like for the
quarter, adjusted
expenses18 were under
stringent control and generated a positive jaws effect, with a
growth rate of +5.2% compared to H1 2023, versus +5.8% for adjusted
revenues18, at €900m; the adjusted cost-income
ratio18 was
52.6%.
Adjusted gross operating
income18 totalled
€811m, up +6.5% compared to the first half of
2023.
The share of net income of
equity-accounted companies is up +24.7% compared to the
first half of 2023 at €61m.
Adjusted net earnings per
share18 in the first
half of 2024 reached €3.26, up +7.3%
compared to the first half of 2023.
Accounting data for H1
2024
Net income, Group share stood at
€636m and includes non-cash charges relating to
acquisitions, particularly the amortisation of intangible assets
related to distribution agreements and client contracts (for the
first half, -€44m before tax, including new corresponding charges
relating to Alpha Associates; see details on p. 11), bringing
the total to -€32m after tax in the first half of 2024.
Net earnings per share in the first half
of 2024 amounted to €3.11.
-
A solid financial structure
Tangible shareholders’ equity19
amounted to €3.9bn at 30 June 2024, down slightly compared to
end-2023 given the payment of dividends (-€0.84bn) for FY 2023 and
the additional deduction from tangible shareholders’ equity of
goodwill and intangible assets related to the initial consolidation
of Alpha Associates (-€0.35bn), partially offset by net income for
the first half of the year.
Note: Fitch Ratings gave Amundi an A+ rating
with a stable outlook, the best in the sector.

Methodology Appendix
Accounting & adjusted
data
Accounting data - This
includes amortisation of intangible assets, booked under “other
revenues”, and since Q2 2024, other non-cash charges spread out
according to the payment schedule for the price adjustment up to
end-2029; these expenses are recognised as deductions from net
revenues, as financial expenses.
The aggregate amounts of these items are as
follows for the different fiscal years under review:
- Q1
2023: -€20m before tax and -€15m after tax
- Q2
2023: -€20m before tax and -€15m after tax
- H1
2023: -€41m before tax and -€29m after tax
-
2023: -€82M before tax and -€59m after tax
- Q1
2024: -€20M before tax and -€15m after tax
- Q2
2024: -€24m before tax and -€17m after tax
- H1
2024: -€44m before tax and -€32m after tax
No integration costs of any significant amount
were recognised in the second quarter, following the acquisition of
Alpha Associates
Adjusted data - To present
an income statement that more closely reflects the economic
reality, the following adjustments have been made: restatement of
amortisation relating to the distribution contracts with Bawag,
UniCredit and Banco Sabadell, the intangible assets corresponding
to the client contracts of Lyxor and, as from the second quarter of
2024, of Alpha Associates, as well as other non-cash charges
relating to the acquisition of Alpha Associates; these
amortisations and non-cash charges are recognised as a deduction
from net revenues.
Acquisition of Alpha
Associates
In accordance with IFRS 3, recognition in
Amundi’s balance sheet as of 01/04/2024:
- of goodwill
amounting to €290m;
- of an intangible
asset of €50m representing client contracts, which can be amortised
on a straight-line basis until end-2030;
- of a liability
representing an as-yet-unpaid conditional price adjustment of €160m
before tax, including an actuarial discount of -€30m, which will be
amortised over six years.
The recognition in the Group's income
statement:
- of amortisation of
the intangible asset for an expense of -€7.6m over a full year
(-€6.1m after tax)
- of other non-cash
charges spread out according to the payment schedule for the price
adjustment up to end-2029; these expenses are recognised as
deductions from net revenues, as financial expenses.
In Q2 2024, amortisation of the intangible asset
was -€1.9m before tax (-€1.5m after tax) and non-cash charges were
-€1.4m before tax (-€1.1m after tax). These expenses are the same
in H1 2024, as they did not come about until Q2.
Alternative Performance
Measures24
In order to present an income statement that is
closer to economic reality, Amundi publishes adjusted data
excluding the amortisation of intangible assets and, as from the
second quarter of 2024, of Alpha Associates, as well as other
non-cash charges relating to the acquisition of Alpha
Associates.
Adjusted, standardized data reconciles with accounting data as

This document may contain forward-looking
information concerning Amundi's financial position and results.
These data do not represent "forecasts" within the meaning of

Such forward-looking information includes
projections and financial estimates that are derived from scenarios
based on a number of economic assumptions in a given competitive
and regulatory environment, considerations relating to projects,

operations, transactions (including the proposed transaction
between Amundi and Victory Capital), future products and services
and on assumptions in terms of future performance and synergies. By
their very nature, they are therefore subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, which could lead to the non-fulfillment of
the forward-looking items mentioned, including, with regard to the
proposed transaction between Amundi and Victory Capital, risks that
the conditions to completion will not be satisfied and that the
transaction will not be completed on schedule, or at all; risks
relating to the expected benefits or impact of the proposed
transaction on Victory Capital's and Amundi's respective
businesses, including the ability to realize expected synergies;
and other risks and factors relating to Victory's and Amundi's
respective businesses contained in their respective public filings.
Consequently, no assurance can be given that these projections and
estimates will materialize, and Amundi's financial position and
results could differ materially from those projected or implied in
