billion, up by +11.1% vs. Q4 23.
Revenues of French Retail, Private
Banking and Insurance were up by +15.5% vs. Q4 23 and
totalled EUR 2.3 billion in Q4 24. Net interest income increased in

posted a positive contribution to Group net income in 2024 for the
second year in a row.
Global Banking and Investor
Solutions registered a +12.4% increase in revenues
relative to Q4 23. Revenues amounted to EUR 2.5 billion for the
quarter, driven by strong momentum across all businesses.
Global Markets grew by 9.8% in Q4
24 vs. Q4 23. Revenues from the Equities business were up by
+10%, reaching a record level for a fourth quarter. They were
driven by favourable market conditions, particularly after the
result of the presidential elections in the United States. Fixed
Income and Currencies were up by +9% owing to solid commercial
activity in financing and intermediation across all asset classes.
In Financing and Advisory, solid commercial
momentum was recorded in structured finance and the performance of
M&A and advisory continued to rebound. Likewise,
Global Transaction & Payment Services posted a
+26% increase in revenues vs. Q4 23, driven by a sustained
commercial development across all businesses, particularly in
correspondent banking.
Mobility, International Retail Banking
and Financial Services’ revenues were up by +2.0% vs. Q4
23, mainly due to an increase in margins at Ayvens.
International Retail Banking recorded a -3.6% fall
in revenues vs. Q4 23 at EUR 1.0 billion, due to a scope effect
related to the asset disposals finalised in Africa (Morocco, Chad,
Congo, Madagascar). Revenues were up +3.4% at constant perimeter
and exchange rates. Revenues from Mobility and
Financial Services were up by +8.3% vs.
Q4 23 mainly due to non-recuring items in Q4 23 and improved
margins at Ayvens.
The Corporate Centre recorded
revenues of EUR -159 million in Q4 24.
Over 2024, net banking income increased
by +6.7% vs. 2023.
Operating
expenses
Operating expenses came out to EUR 4,595
million in Q4 24, down by -1.5% vs. Q4 23.
They include a scope effect of around EUR 46 million related to the
integration of Bernstein’s cash equity operations and a decrease in
transformation costs of EUR 26 million. Excluding these items,
operating expenses were down by nearly -2% in Q4 24 vs. Q4-23 owing
to the effect of the cost saving measures implemented across all
business lines.
The cost-to-income ratio stood at 69.4%
in Q4 24, significantly lower than in Q4 23 (78.3%).
Over 2024, operating expenses
remained relatively stable (-0.3% vs. 2023), thanks from rigorous
cost management. The cost-to-income ratio stood at 69.0% (vs. 73.8%
in 2023), a level below the target of 71% for 2024.
Cost of
risk
The cost of risk fell to 23 basis points
over the quarter (or EUR 338 million). This includes a
EUR 386 million provision for non-performing loans
(around 26 basis points) and a reversal of a provision on
performing loans for EUR -48 million.
At end-December, the Group’s provisions on
performing loans amounted to EUR 3,119 million, stable relative to
30 September 2024. The EUR -453 million contraction relative to 31
December 2023 is mainly owing to the application of IFRS
5.
The gross non-performing loan ratio stood at
2.81%4,5 at 31 December 2024,
significantly down vs. end of September 2024 (2.95%). The net
coverage ratio on the Group’s non-performing loans stood at
81%6 at 31 December 2024 (after taking into account
guarantees and collateral).
Net profits from other
assets
The Group recorded a net loss of EUR -11 million
in Q4 24, mainly related to the accounting impacts of finalised
asset sales, such as the disposals of our activities in Morocco and
Madagascar.
Group net
income
Group net income stood at EUR 1,041
million for the quarter, equating to a Return on Tangible
Equity (ROTE) of 6.6%.

EUR 4,200 million, equating to a Return on Tangible Equity
(ROTE) of 6.9%.

per share, equivalent to EUR 1,740 million, of which EUR 872

on 20 May 2025. The dividend will be detached on 26 May
2025 and paid out on 28 May 2025.
- AN ESTABLISHED ESG STRATEGY
FROM WHICH TO STEP FORWARD
In 2024, Societe Generale accelerated the
execution of its ESG roadmap, particularly with respect to the
contribution to the environmental transition:
- The Group now covers ~70% of
companies’8 financed emissions, with 10 alignment
targets for the carbon-intensive sectors. It has already reduced
its oil and gas upstream exposure by more than 50% since the end of
20199
- In Q2 24 and ahead of schedule, the
Group reached its target of EUR 300 billion for sustainable finance
planned for the period 2022-2025. A new target of EUR
500 billion, complementing the work carried out as part of the
portfolio alignment, was announced for the period 2024-2030. This
will help increase the orientation of financial flows towards
decarbonization activities.
The Group has broadened the scope of actions to
prepare for a sustainable future by supporting new players and new
technologies:
- The EUR 1 billion investment for
the transition, announced during the Capital Markets Day, has
entered its operationalization phase
- A new partnership with the EIB to
unlock up to EUR 8 billion in the wind industry supply chain in
Europe was signed in Q4 24.
At the same time, ESG risk management continues
to be strengthened, enhancing forward-looking assessments of
environmental risk materiality and further integrating
environmental, social and governance risks into the risk
framework.
Lastly, the Group is moving forward with its ambitions as a
responsible employer: at the end of 2024, the “Group Leaders
Circle” (Top 250) had ~30% women executives10 and ~30%
international members. As announced during the Capital Markets Day,
the EUR 100 million envelope commitment to reduce the
gender pay gap was launched in 2023.

The Alternative Performance Measures, notably the notions
of net banking income for the pillars, operating expenses, cost of
risk in basis points, ROE, ROTE, RONE, net assets and tangible net
assets are presented in the methodology notes, as are the
principles for the presentation of prudential ratios.
This document contains forward-looking statements relating to the
targets and strategies of the Societe Generale Group.
These forward-looking statements are based on a series of
assumptions, both general and specific, in particular the
application of accounting principles and methods in accordance with
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted in
the European Union, as well as the application of existing
prudential regulations.
These forward-looking statements have also been developed from
scenarios based on a number of economic assumptions in the context
of a given competitive and regulatory environment. The Group may be
unable to:
- anticipate all the risks, uncertainties or other factors likely
to affect its business and to appraise their potential
consequences;
- evaluate the extent to which the occurrence of a risk or a
combination of risks could cause actual results to differ
materially from those provided in this document and the related
presentation.
Therefore, although Societe Generale believes that these statements
are based on reasonable assumptions, these forward-looking
statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties,
including matters not yet known to it or its management or not
currently considered material, and there can be no assurance that
anticipated events will occur or that the objectives set out will
actually be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the
forward-looking statements include, among others, overall trends in
general economic activity and in Societe Generale’s markets in
particular, regulatory and prudential changes, and the success of
Societe Generale’s strategic, operating and financial
initiatives.
More detailed information on the potential risks that could affect
Societe Generale’s financial results can be found in the section
“Risk Factors” in our Universal Registration Document filed with
the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (which is available on
https://investors.societegenerale.com/en).
Investors are advised to take into account factors of uncertainty
and risk likely to impact the operations of the Group when
considering the information contained in such forward-looking
statements. Other than as required by applicable law, Societe
Generale does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking information or statements. Unless otherwise
specified, the sources for the business rankings and market
positions are internal. |

The gross coverage ratio for
non-performing loan outstandings is calculated as the
ratio of provisions recognised in respect of the credit risk to
gross outstandings identified as in default within the meaning of
the regulations, without taking account of any guarantees provided.
This coverage ratio measures the maximum residual risk associated
with outstandings in default (“non-performing loans”).
5 - ROE, ROTE, RONE
The notions of ROE (Return on Equity) and ROTE
(Return on Tangible Equity), as well as their calculation
methodology, are specified on pages 43 and 44 of Societe Generale’s
2024 Universal Registration Document. This measure makes it
possible to assess Societe Generale’s return on equity and return
on tangible equity.
RONE (Return on Normative Equity) determines the return on average
normative equity allocated to the Group’s businesses, according to
the principles presented on page 44 of Societe Generale’s 2024
Universal Registration Document.
Group net income used for the ratio numerator is the accounting
Group net income adjusted for “Interest paid and payable to holders
if deeply subordinated notes and undated subordinated notes, issue
premium amortisation”. For ROTE, income is also restated for
goodwill impairment.
Details of the corrections made to the accounting equity in order
to calculate ROE and ROTE for the period are given in the table

8 - The Societe Generale Group’s Common Equity Tier 1
capital is calculated in accordance with applicable
CRR2/CRD5 rules. The fully loaded solvency ratios are presented pro
forma for current earnings, net of dividends, for the current
financial year, unless specified otherwise. When there is reference
to phased-in ratios, these do not include the earnings for the
current financial year, unless specified otherwise. The leverage
ratio is also calculated according to applicable CRR2/CRD5 rules
including the phased-in following the same rationale as solvency
ratios.
9 – Funded balance sheet, loan to
deposit ratio
The funded balance sheet is
based on the Group financial statements. It is obtained in two
steps:
- A first step aiming at reclassifying
the items of the financial statements into aggregates allowing for
a more economic reading of the balance sheet. Main
reclassifications:
Insurance: grouping of the accounting items
related to insurance within a single aggregate in both assets and
liabilities.
Customer loans: include outstanding loans with customers (net of
provisions and write-downs, including net lease financing
outstanding and transactions at fair value through profit and
loss); excludes financial assets reclassified under loans and
receivables in accordance with the conditions stipulated by IFRS 9
(these positions have been reclassified in their original
lines).
Wholesale funding: Includes interbank liabilities and debt
securities issued. Financing transactions have been allocated to
medium/long-term resources and short-term resources based on the
maturity of outstanding, more or less than one year.
Reclassification under customer deposits of the share of issues
placed by French Retail Banking networks (recorded in
medium/long-term financing), and certain transactions carried out
with counterparties equivalent to customer deposits (previously
included in short term financing).
Deduction from customer deposits and reintegration into short-term
financing of certain transactions equivalent to market
resources.
- A second step aiming at excluding
the contribution of insurance subsidiaries, and netting
derivatives, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing/lending,
accruals and “due to central banks”.
The Group loan/deposit ratio is
determined as the division of the customer loans by customer
deposits as presented in the funded balance sheet.
NB (1) The sum of values contained in the tables
and analyses may differ slightly from the total reported due to
rounding rules.
(2) All the information on the results for the period (notably:
press release, downloadable data, presentation slides and
supplement) is available on Societe Generale’s website:
www.societegenerale.com in the “Investor” section.
