The Board of Directors of BNP Paribas met on 30 October 2024. The meeting was chaired by Jean Lemierre, and the Board examined the Group’s results for the third quarter 2024. Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, Chief Executive Officer, stated at the end of the meeting: “These very good results were driven by the business performance of the operating divisions and demonstrate our Group’s capacity to grow while continuing to manage risks and resources thoroughly. The 3rd quarter particularly illustrates CIB’s capacity to gain market shares and IPS’s strong business momentum, especially in Insurance and Asset Management. Our Commercial & Personal Banking is likely to gradually benefit from the positive shift in the rate environment. On this basis, we confirm our 2024 trajectory and remain focused on continuing our long-term development, notably with the planned acquisition of AXA IM, which is a major initiative, repositioning IPS strategically within the Group. I thank all our teams for their ongoing mobilisation alongside our customers.” CONSOLIDATED GROUP RESULTS AS OF 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Group 3rd quarter 2024 results Revenues In the 3rd quarter 2024 (hereinafter: 3Q24), Group revenues amounted to €11,941m, up by 2.7% compared to the 3rd quarter 2023 on a distributable basis1 (hereinafter: 3Q23). Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) revenues rose sharply (+9.0% vs. 3Q23) under the combined effect of a very good performance in all three business lines. Particularly, Global Banking (+5.9% vs. 3Q23) was driven by Capital Markets activities in EMEA (+12.4%8 vs. 3Q23), Advisory in EMEA and Transaction Banking activities in the Americas and APAC. Global Markets (+12.4% vs. 3Q23) benefitted from the strong growth at Equity & Prime Services (+13.2% vs. 3Q23) and FICC (+11.8% vs. 3Q23). Securities Services (+6.6% vs. 3Q23) was driven up by its net interest margin and by the increase in its outstandings. Revenues at Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS)9 decreased (-2.6% vs. 3Q23) but were stable (-0.1% vs. 3Q23) excluding revenues from used-cars disposals at Arval. Revenues decreased slightly (-1.1% vs. 3Q23; -1.3% vs. 9M23) at Commercial & Personal Banking in the euro zone. The 3rd quarter nevertheless showed an improvement, with particularly a stabilisation of average loans (€434bn) and a slight recovery in individual loans (+0.1% vs. 2Q24). Excluding headwinds (inflation hedges, mandatory reserves, and the Belgian government bonds), revenues at Commercial & Personal Banking in the euro zone rose by +2.1% vs. 9M23. Overall, these banks should benefit from (i) a favourable shift in the interest rate environment given the downward steepening of the interest rate curve expected by the market and (ii) the tapering off from headwinds on the business growth (with impacts of -€149m in 1Q24 vs. 1Q23, -€139m in 2Q24 vs. 2Q23, and -€63m in 3Q24 vs. 3Q23). Revenues at Specialised Businesses decreased (-5.7% vs. 3Q23), due mainly to Arval and Leasing Solutions (-10.6% vs. 3Q23) with two different situations: revenues rose by +3.2% at Leasing Solutions, but Arval was impacted by the normalisation of used-car prices, despite its good business performances, as illustrated by the increase in its organic revenues (+15.3%). 2 Personal Finance revenues decreased overall (-3.3%), but rose on the core perimeter (+1.5%), in accordance with the ongoing strategic plan. Revenues at New Digital Businesses and Personal Investors were stable. Revenues at Investment & Protection Services (IPS) were up by 4.9%. Asset Management (+7.9% vs. 3Q23) and Insurance (+6.4% vs. 3Q23) had a very good quarter and continued to support revenue growth in the division. Wealth Management (-0.5% vs. 3Q23) was stable with an increase in fees. Operating expenses Operating expenses (€7,213m) were kept under control in 3Q24 (+1.7% vs. 3Q23). The jaws effect was positive (+1.0 point) and benefitted from the impact of operational efficiency measures implemented, representing €655m in the first nine months of the year, in line with the announced trajectory of €1bn for 2024. These measures mainly include: (i) the Personal Finance adaptation plan, (ii) the reduction in external spending, (iii) the deployment of Shared Service Centres (SSCs), (iv) the optimisation of business premises (~100,000m² released since 2023) and (v) automation / robotisation efforts (number of robots: +15% since the end of 2023). Operating expenses rose at CIB (+8.6% vs. 3Q23) in support of growth. The jaws effect was positive overall at CIB (+0.4 point), as well as at Global Banking (+0.1 point), Global Markets (+0.5 point) and Securities Services (+1.8 points). CPBS9 lowered its operating expenses (-0.9% vs. 3Q23). At Commercial & Personal Banking in the euro zone, they decreased by 1.9% and the jaws effect was positive (+0.8 point). Specialised Businesses also reduced their operating expenses, by 1.3%. The jaws effect was positive (i) at Personal Finance (+2.3 points; +2.7 points on the core perimeter), in connection with the adaptation plan and (ii) at Leasing Solutions (+2.4 points). Operating expenses were kept under control at IPS (-0.4% vs. 3Q23) in all business lines in connection with the acceleration of operational efficiency measures. The jaws effect was very positive at IPS (+5.2 points) and positive in all operating business lines (except Real Estate). On this basis, Group gross operating income in 3Q24 came to €4,728m, up by 4.2% compared to 3Q23 (€4,536m). Cost of risk In 3Q24, Group cost of risk stood at €729m4 (€734m in 3Q23), or 32 basis points of customer loans outstanding, remaining below 40 basis points throughout the cycle, thanks to the quality and diversification of credit portfolio. In 3Q24, cost of risk reflected €217m releases of provisions on performing loans (stages 1 and 2) and a €946m provision on non-performing loans (stage 3). Operating income, Pre-tax income and net income, Group share Group operating income came to €3,957m (€3,802m in 3Q23) and Group pre-tax income to €4,060m (€3,862m in 3Q23). The average corporate income tax rate stood at 27.4% in the 3rd quarter. Net income, Group share amounted to €2,868m in 3Q24, up by 5.9% compared to 3Q23 (€2,709m). On this basis, earnings per share5 came to 2.38 euros, up by +11.2% compared to 3Q23. 3 Social responsibility Beyond financial results, the first nine months of the year illustrate BNP Paribas’ commitment to social responsibility, as highlighted by recent agencies and NGO ratings (FTSE Russell, Moody’s ESG Solutions and WDI Shareaction) and by certifications highlighting BNP Paribas’ commitments (LSEG, Top Employer and Afnor). The Group continues to implement the People Strategy 2025, while establishing the conditions for equality. This has been demonstrated by the constant gender diversity progress in senior management positions and the improvement in gender diversity on the Group’s Executive Committee, which now stands above the average of the executive committees of SBF 120 companies and of the Financi’Elles federation members. Group results in the first nine months of 2024 Over the first nine months of 2024 (hereinafter: 9M24), revenues amounted to €36,694m, up by 2.0% compared to the first nine months of 2023 on a distributable basis1 (hereinafter: 9M23). CIB revenues (€13,405m) rose by 5.0% compared to 9M23, driven by increased revenues at Global Banking (+5.8% vs. 9M23), Global Markets (+3.6% vs. 9M23) and Securities Services (+8.0% vs. 9M23). CPBS9 revenues were stable at €20,026m, with positive trends, notably at Commercial & Personal Banking (BNL: +5.4% vs. 9M23; CPBL: +5.0% vs. 9M23). At IPS, revenues came to €4,381m (+2.9% vs. 9M23), driven by the growth of revenues at Insurance (+5.3% vs. 9M23), Wealth Management (+3.5% vs. 9M23) and Asset Management10 (+7.1% vs. 9M23). Group operating expenses came to €22,326m, up by 1.3% compared to 9M23 (€22,035m). They included the exceptional impact of restructuring and adaptation costs (€143m) and IT reinforcement costs (€254m) for a total of €397m. At the operating division level, operating expenses increased by 3.7% at CIB and by +2.6% at CPBS9 (+1.1% in Commercial & Personal Banking in the euro zone and -0.3% at Specialised Businesses). They were stable at IPS. At the Group level, the jaws effect was therefore positive (+0.6 point). The Group’s Gross Operating Income thus came to €14,368m in the first 9 months of 2024, up by 3.1% compared to 9M23 (€13,939m). Group cost of risk4 stood at €2,121m (€1,935m in 9M23). At €344m in 9M24, the Group’s exceptional non-operating items include the reconsolidation of activities in Ukraine11 (+€226m) and a capital gain on the divestment of Personal Finance activities in Mexico (+€118m). Group pre-tax income came to €12,845m, up by 2.6% compared to 9M23 (€12,515m). Taking into account the 25.8% average corporate income tax rate, net income, Group share amounted to €9,366m (vs. €9,225m in 9M23). As of 30 September 2024, the return on non-revaluated tangible equity stood at 11.8%. This reflects the BNP Paribas Group’s solid performances on the back of its diversified and integrated model. 4 A very solid financial structure as of 30 September 2024 The common equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 12.7% as of 30 September 2024, down by 30 basis points compared to 30 June 2024 but remaining far above SREP requirements (10.27%) and the 12% Group objective. On 1 July 2024, Arval was prudentially consolidated with a 30-bps impact, as announced. The common equity Tier 1 ratio therefore stood at 12.7% as of 1 July 2024. As of 30 September 2024, it remains stable due to the combined effects of (i) organic capital generation net of changes in risk-weighted assets in 3Q24 (+20 bps) and (ii) of the distribution of the 3Q24 result (-20 bps on the basis of a 60% pay-out ratio). In 4Q24, the planned securitisation programme should allow to decrease the risk-weighted assets by more than 10 bps. The leverage ratio12 stood at 4.4% as of 30 September 2024. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio13 (end-of-period) stood at a high level of 124% as of 30 September 2024 (132% as of 30 June 2024) and the immediately available liquidity reserve14 came to €467bn as of 30 September 2024, equivalent to more than one year to manoeuvre in terms of wholesale funding. 2024 trajectory confirmed On the strength of its results as of 30.09.2024, BNP Paribas confirms its 2024 trajectory: (i) revenues growth greater than 2% compared to 2023 distributable revenues (€46.9bn); (ii) a positive jaws effect2; (iii) a cost of risk below 40 bps, and (iv) Net Income, Group share greater than the 2023 distributable net income (€11.2bn). This trajectory leverages several positive trends identified during the first nine months of the year: • Ongoing market share gains at CIB while retaining a balanced allocation of capital; • Improving outlooks at Commercial & Personal Banking in the euro zone given 1) the positive shift in the rate environment given the steepening of the yield curve expected by the market; 2) stabilising credits and deposits and 3) the gradual decrease of the impact of headwinds on the business growth; • Strong momentum at Asset Management and Insurance in IPS; • Further implementation of operational efficiency measures: €655m achieved in cost savings throughout the first three quarters of the year, €345m expected for 4Q24; • Control of the cost of risk throughout the cycle. The trajectory also takes into account the negative impacts linked to used-car prices at Arval, despite its good business performances, illustrated by the continued growth in its organic revenues. An update of the 2026 outlook taking into account the redeployment of capital will be given on the publication of the 2024 annual results. 5 CORPORATE AND INSTITUTIONAL BANKING (CIB) CIB 3rd quarter 2024 results CIB’s results were driven this quarter by a very good activity in all three business lines and a strong increase in Global Markets revenues. Revenues (€4,247m) rose by 9.0% compared to 3Q23, under the combined effect of good performance in all three business lines: Global Banking (+5.9% vs. 3Q23), Global Markets (+12.4% vs. 3Q23) and Securities Services (+6.6% vs. 3Q23). At €2,571m, operating expenses increased by 8.6% compared to 3Q23 (+8.7% at constant scope and exchange rates), driven by very robust activity this quarter. The jaws effect was positive (at +0.4 point, and +0.7 point at constant scope and exchange rates). Gross operating income came to €1,677m, up by 9.7% compared to 3Q23. Cost of risk stood at -€27m, a level remaining low, notably due to releases of provisions on performing loans (stages 1 and 2). Based on this good operating performance, CIB achieved pre-tax income of €1,652m, up by 6.3% (+7.2% at constant scope and exchange rates). CIB – Global Banking Global Banking’s 3rd quarter featured further increases in revenues and very robust business activity. Revenues (€1,487m) increased by 5.9% compared to 3Q23, particularly in EMEA and APAC. By business line, revenues rose at Capital Markets, particularly in EMEA (+12.4%8 vs. 3Q23); and in Transaction Banking (+5.7%8 vs. 3Q23), particularly in the Americas (Trade Finance) and APAC (Cash Management). Revenues were also up in Advisory, particularly in EMEA. In terms of business momentum, the origination business was very robust in EMEA, particularly on bond markets (a 29%15 increase in issuances led vs. 3Q23) and syndicated loans. In Transaction Banking, Cash Management was strong, notably in APAC and in Trade Finance, particularly in the Americas. Advisory also performed well, particularly in EMEA and in APAC. At €186bn, loans increased by +4.5%8 compared to 3Q23 and by +2.1%8 compared to 2Q24. At €220bn, deposits continued to expand (+6.5%8 vs. 3Q23).

At €2,023m, Global Markets revenues achieved a strong growth of 12.4% compared to 3Q23. At €820m, Equity & Prime Services revenues were driven up (+13.2% vs. 3Q23) by Prime Services (with more than a 40% increase in revenues compared to 3Q23), particularly in the Americas and APAC. Revenues were stable overall in Equity Derivatives and up slightly in Cash Equities this quarter. At €1,203m, FICC revenues increased by 11.8% compared to 3Q23. Credit activities fared very well, particularly in the Americas and on primary markets, as well as on the rates and foreign- exchange markets with a robust activity in rates, particularly in the Americas, and forex, but were more lackluster in commodities. In terms of rankings, Global Markets confirmed its leadership on multi-dealer electronic platforms. Average 99% 1-day interval VaR, a measure of market risks, came to €31m (up slightly, by €0.6m vs. 2Q24). This reflects lesser risk, mainly in the interest-rate, foreign-exchange and commodities perimeters. CIB – Securities Services The 3rd quarter featured a strong increase in outstandings and deposits and good business drive. At €737m, Securities Services achieved a strong increase in revenues this quarter (+6.6% vs. 3Q23), driven by the impact of higher net interest margin and higher client deposits balances. New mandates were signed, notably in Germany, France and Australia. Meanwhile, commercial development continued in Private Capital. Average outstandings rose (+9.4% compared to 3Q23), driven mainly by the market rebound and the implementation of new mandates. Transactions were also up by 15.2%, with higher average volatility. CIB results in the first nine months of 2024 In the first nine months of 2024, CIB revenues came to €13,405m, up by 5.0%, and CIB operating expenses to €7,801m, up by 3.7%, compared to 9M23. The jaws effect was positive by +1.3 points and was evident in each of the three business lines. CIB gross operating income amounted to €5,604m, up by 6.9% compared to 9M23, and cost of risk came to a net release of €173m, due mainly to releases of stage 1 and 2 provisions.

Revenues9, at €6,576m, decreased by 2.6% vs. 3Q23.

Gross operating income9, at €331m, decreased by 20,1%24 vs. 3Q23 (-1,1% vs. 3Q23 excluding the effect of the hyperinflation situation in Türkiye). Cost of risk9 stood at 47 basis points of customer loans outstanding, lower than in 3Q23 (releases of stage 1 and 2 provisions). Other net losses for risk on financial instruments9 included the impact of other provisions in Poland (-€65m), partly offset by releases of provisions set aside for the “Act on Assistance to Borrowers in Poland” (+€23m). After allocating one third of Private Banking’s net income to Wealth Management (IPS division), Europe-Mediterranean achieved pre-tax income20 of €251m, down by 5.7%24 (-5.1% vs. 3Q23 excluding the effect of the hyperinflation situation in Türkiye). CPBS – Specialised Businesses – Personal Finance In the 3rd quarter 2024, Personal Finance continued the transformation of its operating model, generating: (i) a very positive jaws effect and (ii) good performance on the core perimeter. It should benefit from the decrease of short-term interest rates. Customer loans outstanding rose by 3.7%8 compared to 3Q23 (+5.2% vs. 3Q23 on the core perimeter, following the geographical refocusing), with greater selectivity at origination. Margins at production continued to improve despite sustained competitive pressure. Operationally, the effects of the implementation of the mobility partnership strategy can be seen in the weight of auto loans outstanding, which amounted to 44% of core outstandings as of 30 September 2024 and structurally improved the risk profile. The partnerships with Orange in France and Spain continued to be rolled out. The quarter saw the continuation of the aforementioned geographical refocusing of businesses on the core perimeter with the closing of the divestment of activities in Hungary. This geographical refocusing overall included the sale of activities in Central and Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary) and Mexico, as well as the placement of activities in run- off in Romania, Brazil, and Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark and Norway). 11 At €1,249m, revenues decreased by 3.3% compared to 3Q23 but rose by 1.5% on the core perimeter, driven by growth in volumes and pricing efforts and despite the increased medium- term financing costs. At €672m, operating expenses decreased by 5.7% (-1.2% vs. 3Q23 on the core perimeter), in connection with the impact of cost-saving measures. As a result, the jaws effect was very positive on the quarter (+2.3 points, +2.7 points on the core perimeter). Gross operating income decreased by 0.5% to €577m. Cost of risk stood at €380m (€397m in 3Q23), due particularly to the structural improvement in the risk profile. As of 30 September 2024, it stood at 140 basis points of customer loans outstanding. Pre-tax income thus came to €154m, down sharply by 21.9%, due to a lower contribution from associates and to the ongoing strategic refocusing. On the core perimeter, it rose by 7.6% compared to 3Q23. CPBS – Specialised Businesses – Arval and Leasing Solutions Arval’s 3rd quarter 2024 featured: (i) a sustained level of activity illustrated by a higher financial margin and margin on services; and (ii) the impact of the normalisation of used- car prices. Leasing Solutions revenues increased this quarter. The normalisation of used-car prices continued at Arval, with a negative price effect. However, the volume effect was positive (117,000 vehicles sold in 3Q24 vs. 87,000 in 3Q23). The business momentum was sustained, as illustrated by the growth in Arval’s financed fleet (+5.8%25 vs. 30.09.2023) and in outstandings (+20.1% vs. 3Q23). The individual customer fleet (+17.1% vs. 30.09.2023) expanded, thanks to the development of partnerships with automakers, including the renewal in France of the strategic partnership with Hyundai Motors. Leasing Solutions’ outstandings rose by 2.8% vs. 3Q23, and its margins improved. Business drive was also good with production volumes up by 10.5% compared to 3Q23 on equipment markets. A partnership was renewed this quarter with two manufacturers, CNH and Iveco Group, which has expanded strongly since 1997, thanks to the CNH Industrial Capital Europe joint-venture, located in nine countries in Europe. At €857m, combined revenues of Arval and Leasing Solutions decreased by 10.6%, impacted by the aforementioned trend in used-car prices at Arval, partly offset by the 15.3% growth in organic revenues (financial margin and margin on services) and the increase in Leasing Solutions revenues from the volume impact and improved margins. Operating expenses, at €381m, rose by 3.6%, due to inflation and business momentum. Pre-tax income of Arval and Leasing Solutions came to €440m (-20.9% vs. 3Q23). CPBS – Specialised Businesses – New Digital Businesses and Personal Investors Activity was robust this quarter. As of 30.09.2024, Nickel is the largest current account distribution network in France and in Portugal, following a quarter featuring a deployment of its points of sale in Europe (+13.7% vs. 30.09.2023). In parallel, Nickel developed its offering of services and products: after France, Nickel continued to digitalise, with a 100% digital account-opening path in Spain. 12 Regarding Floa, numerous partnerships have been signed in France, and activity is developing internationally (number of active partnerships: 2.3x compared to 3Q23). Personal Investors achieved a strong increase in assets under management (+13.2% vs. 30.09.2023), driven by the favourable impact of financial market trends and by the number of transactions remaining at a high level. On this basis, revenues9, at €268m, rose by 0.7% compared to 3Q23, reflecting: (i) the good resiliency to the interest-rate environment in revenues at Personal Investors; (ii) the continued momentum at New Digital Businesses; and (iii) the efficient organic growth at Nickel. Operating expenses9 came to €180m (+6.1% vs. 3Q23), due to the business development strategy. Gross operating income9 came to €88m (-8.8% vs. 3Q23) and cost of risk9 to €27m (€29m in 3Q23). On this basis, pre-tax income20 at New Digital Businesses and Personal Investors, after allocating one third of the Private Banking result in Germany to Wealth Management (IPS division), decreased by 9.2% vs.3Q23, to €59m. CPBS revenues in the first nine months of 2024 In the first nine months of the year, revenues9 came to €20,026m (-0.9% vs. 9M23). Excluding the impact of the normalisation of used-car prices at Arval, they rose by 1.2%. In the first nine months of the year, Commercial & Personal Banking achieved a positive performance (+0.6% vs. 9M23), as did New Digital Businesses & Personal investors (+5.3% vs. 9M23). However, revenues from Specialised Businesses decreased by 3.3%. Operating expenses9 came to €12,382m, up by 2.6% compared to 9M23. Gross operating income9 came to €7,644m and decreased by 6.0% compared to 9M23. Cost of risk9 and others stood at €2,387m (€2,016m in 9M23), due to a specific credit situation in France and a base effect at Europe-Mediterranean. Pre-tax income20 came to €5,186m (€6,047m in 9M23). INVESTMENT & PROTECTION SERVICES (IPS) IPS 3rd quarter 2024 results IPS achieved a very good quarter in Asset Management and Insurance and stepped up its investments in growth markets. As of 30 September 2024, assets under management26 came to €1.344bn (+8.7% vs. 31.12.2023, +2.4% vs. 30.06.2024). In the first nine months, they reflected the combined effects of: (i) net asset inflows (+€55.3bn) and (ii) market growth (+€54.6bn). Net asset inflows, driven by the diversity of the distribution networks, were very strong. 13 Insurance achieved an increase in gross asset inflows at Savings (+13.0% vs. 3Q23), driven particularly by net inflows internationally and strong growth at Protection, driven by the entire line of products. Thanks to strong business drive, Asset Management achieved sustained net inflows particularly in medium- and long-term vehicles and an increase in fees, driven by the growth of assets under management. Wealth Management revenues were stable compared to a high 3Q23 base. Assets under management rose in Commercial & Personal Banking and with high-net-worth clients. Activity was strong, particularly in Asia, and transaction fees rose in all geographies. As of 30 September 2024, assets under management26 (€1,344bn) broke down as follows: €616bn in Asset Management and Real Estate27, €456bn in Wealth Management, and €272bn in Insurance. Total revenues came to €1,489m (+4.9% vs. 3Q23). They were driven by the very good momentum in Insurance and Asset Management. Revenues were stable in Wealth Management compared to a high 3Q23 based. Revenues decreased in Real Estate. At €881m, operating expenses decreased by 0.4% compared to 3Q23, due to the combined effect of efficiency measures and bolt-on investments. The jaws effect was very positive (+5.2 points). Gross operating income rose by +13.5% vs. 3Q23 to €609m. At €647m, pre-tax income rose by 6.7% compared to 3Q23. This included the decrease in the contribution of associates. In addition to its financial results, IPS’s 3rd quarter featured two external growth transactions aiming at strengthening its platform as a source of medium-term growth: (i) the announcement of Cardif’s planned acquisition of AXA IM6 and the long-term partnership with AXA; and (ii) the planned acquisition of HSBC’s Private Banking business28 in Germany. IPS – Insurance The third quarter was marked by an increase in gross asset inflows in the Savings business and a strong increase in the Protection business. Savings achieved a very good performance, with gross asset inflows up sharply (+13.0% vs. 3Q23). Net asset inflows rose sharply, driven by strong business drive in internal networks and via external distribution. The consolidation of BCC Vita has been effective since the second quarter of 2024, and the offering is gradually developing in the BCC BANCA ICCREA network. Protection’s gross written premiums rose by 12.5% vs. 3Q23. It continued its strong increase internationally, driven by the strength of partnerships and the multi-channel model. The third quarter also featured the development of its offering with the signing of a new partnership in France in CPI with the Simulassur digital platform (Groupe Magnolia). Overall, revenues rose by 6.4% to €570m, driven by the strong performance in France and the more favourable interest-rate environment. Operating expenses, at €209m, rose in controlled fashion, in connection with business development and ongoing efficiency measures. The jaws effect was positive (+3.3 points). At €407m, pre-tax income at Insurance decreased by 1.0% compared to 3Q23, in connection with the decrease in the contribution of associates. 14 IPS – Wealth and Asset Management29 The 3rd quarter featured strong growth in assets and operating income. Wealth Management achieved good net asset inflows (€5.8bn in 3Q24) with all customer segments. Assets under management rose, driven by good net inflows and growing markets. Business activity featured a good level of transactional activity in Commercial & Personal Banking and internationally. Asset Management also achieved robust net inflows (€6.6bn in 3Q24), driven by medium- and long-term vehicles. This quarter featured: (i) the success of the SME Debt Fund III private debt fundraising (about €741m in commitments), originated partly in partnership with Group networks; and (ii) the launch of the first ELTIF 2.0-labelled evergreen private debt credit fund, partially aimed towards Private Banking clients. Revenues, at €919m, rose by +3.9% compared to 3Q23. They were driven by strong growth in Asset Management30 (+8.9% vs. 3Q23) and growth at Principal Investments. Wealth Management revenues were stable (-0.5% vs. 3Q23) compared to a high 3Q23 basis, despite strong momentum in fees. Revenues decreased in Real Estate in a lackluster market. Operating expenses came to €672m (-1.4% vs. 3Q23), due to ongoing efficiency measures. The jaws effect was very positive (+5.3 points). Pre-tax income at Wealth and Asset Management thus amounted to €239m, up by 23.0% compared to 3Q23. IPS results in the first nine months of 2024 In the first nine months of 2024, revenues came to €4,381m, up by 2.9% compared to 9M23. Operating expenses amounted to €2,643m, stable compared to 9M23.

Corporate Centre results (excluding restatements related to insurance) in 3Q24 Revenues amounted to €65m (-€17m in 3Q23), and operating expenses to €213m (€220m in 3Q23). The latter included the impact of €64m in restructuring and adaptation costs (€41m in 3Q23) and €81m in IT reinforcement costs (€87m in 3Q23). Cost of risk stood at -€3m (€7m in 3Q23). Pre-tax income of Corporate Centre excluding restatements related to insurance thus came to -€130m. 15 1 Based on restatement of quarterly series reported on 29 February 2024.

The underlying purpose of the calculation is to facilitate period-on-period comparisons. In cases of acquired or created entity, the results of the new entity are eliminated from the constant scope results of current-year periods corresponding to the periods when the entity was not owned in the prior-year. In cases of divested entities, the entity's results are excluded symmetrically for the prior year for quarters when the entity was not owned. In cases of change of consolidation method, the policy is to use the lowest consolidation percentage over the two years (current and prior) for results of quarters adjusted on a like-for-like basis. Comparative analysis at constant exchange rates is prepared by restating results for the prior-year quarter (reference quarter) at the current quarter exchange rate (analysed quarter). All of these calculations are performed by reference to the entity’s reporting currency.
