Eric Vial, Chairman of SAS Rue La Boétie and Chairman of the Crédit Agricole S.A. Board of Directors “What is the purpose of our strengths? It is to be there when our clients need us most: farmers facing hardships, clients affected by fires, or professionals whose means of work have been damaged. Being present during difficult times and taking concrete action alongside our clients and the territories we serve: that is the true value of our universal, customer focused model.” | |
Olivier Gavalda, Chief Executive Officer of Crédit Agricole S.A. “We are reporting a strong operational performance this quarter and continuing the rollout of our ACT 2028 strategic plan. We are accelerating our expansion in Europe through the establishment of CA Deutschland and the planned acquisition of IKB, a key player in financing the German Mittelstand. With the creation of CA Capital Naturel, we are combining nature conservation with the generation of economic value, drawing on the Group’s expertise and deep local roots. Finally, the operational launch of CA Artificial Intelligence, alongside our partnerships with Mistral and Prisme.ai, enables us to accelerate our transformation and contribute to the emergence of a high-performing European ecosystem, in support of our strategic autonomy.” | |

Crédit Agricole Group
Group activity
The Group’s commercial activity remained strong this quarter across all its business lines, with a very dynamic pace of new customer capture. In the third quarter of 2026, the Group recorded 573,000 new retail banking customers, of whom 429,000 were in France and 144,000 internationally (Italy, Poland, Egypt and Ukraine), bringing the total number of new customers acquired to 1.8 million in the first nine months of 2026.
The Group is accelerating its digital transformation with the launch of the “L by LCL” range for individual customers (following the launch of “L by LCL pro” in January 2026) and “pro by CA”, as well as the introduction of a 100% digital approach to customer onboarding for adults and minors at the Regional Banks. BforBank is positioning on a digital platform focused on savings and continues to improve its profitability, whilst Crédit Agricole Italia reports that 38% of customer capture during the quarter came via digital channels.
As of 30 September 2026, retail banking on-balance sheet deposits reached €848 billion, up +1.1% year-on-year in France and Italy (+0.9% for Regional Banks and LCL and +2.1% in Italy). Outstanding loans totalled €907 billion, up +2.0% year-on-year in these same regions (+1.9% for the Regional Banks and LCL, and +3.2% in Italy). In France, home loan production slowed by -4% compared with the third quarter of 2025 against a backdrop of rising interest rates. In the corporate segment, business was up overall by +4% compared with the same period in 2025, but with mixed performance across different networks. In Italy, lending was dynamic, up by +17% year-on-year, driven by corporate loans (+26%) and the continued recovery in home loans (+9%) in a competitive market.
In asset management, net inflows reached a high level (+€46 billion, excluding outflows from a mandate for Indian JV SBI FM), driven by medium- to long-term assets, and were evenly split between institutional and retail customers. In insurance, gross savings/retirement inflows amounted to €9.4 billion (+5% compared to third quarter 2025). Net inflows totalled +€3.2 billion, evenly split between euro-denominated and unit-linked products. In property and casualty insurance, performance was driven by price changes, scope effects and portfolio growth to 18.3 million policies at the end of September 2026 (+6.4% 2 year-on-year). Overall, assets under management in the asset gathering division reached €3,299 billion (+10.9% year-on-year), of which €2,579 billion in asset management, €396 billion in life insurance and €324 billion in wealth management.
Within CAPFM, the automotive market remains highly unfavourable and is weighing on the used car resale business, whilst short-term car rental activity is down significantly. For CAL&F, leasing production recorded an increase of +3.8% compared with the third quarter of 2025, driven in France by renewable energy, and internationally by the integration of Merca Leasing. In factoring, production is rising sharply in France and is performing well in Italy and Spain.
Momentum was still strong this quarter for the Large Customers division. Revenues from Corporate and Investment Banking were up +10.4% compared with the third quarter of 2025, reaching €1,748 million. Revenues from Capital Markets and Investment Banking were up at €858 million (+14.1% compared with the third quarter of 2025), driven by investment banking (+42.4%) due to an excellent performance from structured equity and ECM. FICC performance (+8.3%) benefited from strong commercial momentum capitalising on the rising interest rate environment. Revenues from Financing activities totalled €889 million (+7.1% compared with the third quarter of 2025), driven by commercial banking across all Corporate and Leveraged Finance activities and Transaction Banking activities (Trade Finance and Cash Management).
Lastly, Asset Servicing maintained a high level of assets under custody (€6,161 billion) and assets under administration (€3,829 billion), supported by the acquisition of new customers, and positive market effects. Settlement and delivery volumes are up sharply in a 2026 context of increased volatility. A project to extend the Asset Servicing partnership in Luxembourg with Edmond de Rothschild has been announced.
Crédit Agricole Savings
In April 2026, Crédit Agricole launched Crédit Agricole Savings in Germany, the first stage of its expansion, followed in September by the launch of the app, and then in October by its roll-out to two European countries, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Crédit Agricole Deutschland
In October 2026, Crédit Agricole launched Crédit Agricole Deutschland, a new universal bank for individual customers in Germany, building on the Group’s more than 70-year presence in the country and an existing base of around 1 million customers. Designed around a digital approach enhanced by artificial intelligence and complemented by personalised support, it will initially offer everyday banking services and a range of savings products.
Launch of Crédit Agricole Capital Naturel
Crédit Agricole is strengthening its position in the field of natural capital with the creation of Crédit Agricole Capital Naturel, a new business line dedicated to the preservation, regeneration and enhancement of natural capital.
Forestry will be the first focus area for Crédit Agricole Capital Naturel, with two major initiatives at European level:
- the acquisition of a majority stake in EcoTree, a leading French player in sustainable forest management with a presence in five European countries. With a base of 100,000 individual customers and 2,000 corporates, EcoTree currently manages more than 1,600 hectares of forest ecosystems sustainably. This acquisition will enable Crédit Agricole Capital Naturel to offer corporates and individuals a comprehensive range of expertise, engineering and services in the forestry sector,
- the launch of the “Amundi Arbora Nova” fund aimed at institutional investors, with the ambition of ultimately raising €200 million. This fund will invest in restoration and reforestation projects in France and across Europe.
The creation of Crédit Agricole Capital Naturel is fully in line with the ACT 2028 Medium-Term Plan, which provides for the Group to roll out a strategic initiative dedicated to natural capital and designed to cover its entire value chain.
Ultimately, Crédit Agricole Capital Naturel intends to expand its offering to support the Group’s customers on other issues related to climate change and the conservation of natural resources, notably water, biodiversity and soils.
Group results
In the third quarter of 2026, the Crédit Agricole Group’s net income Group Share stood at €2,780 million, up +28.2% compared with the third quarter of 2025, driven by a strong increase in gross operating income (+23.6%). Adjusted for the write-off of non-controlling interests related to the acquisition of Santander’s non-controlling interest (+€79m in Q3-25) and the capital gain associated with SBI FM’s initial public offering (+€210m in Q3-2026), the increase in net income Group share was +23.0%.

In the third quarter of 2026, revenues amounted to €10,497 million, up +10.7% compared with the third quarter of 2025, benefiting from a very sharp rise in the Regional Banks’ net interest income (up +41% compared with the third quarter of 2025). Operating expenses stood at -€5,934 million, up +2.5% year-on-year, thereby generating positive jaws of +8.2 percentage points. Consequently, gross operating income amounted to €4,564 million, up +23.6% compared with the third quarter of 2025, with a cost/income ratio of 56.5%, an improvement of -4.5 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2025.
The cost of credit risk stood at -€1,014 million, up +16.7% compared to the third quarter of 2025. This figure comprises a net addition of -€761 million for non-performing loans (stage 3) and a net addition of -€213 million for performing loans (stage 1 and 2). There was also a net addition of -€39 million for other risks. The provisioning levels were determined by taking into account several weighted economic scenarios and by applying some flat-rate adjustments on sensitive portfolios. The weighted economic scenarios for the third quarter of 2026 were unchanged from the second quarter, with a central scenario (French GDP at +0.9% in 2026, +0.9% in 2027), an unfavourable scenario (French GDP at +0.3% in 2026 and -0.6% in 2027) and a severely adverse scenario (French GDP at -1.2% in 2026 and -1.5% in 2027). The cost of risk/outstandings 3 was 31 basis points over a rolling four-quarter period and 32 basis points on an annualised quarterly basis 4 (a respective deterioration of 1 basis point and 4 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2026).
Pre-tax income stood at €4,009 million, a year-on-year increase of +35.3% compared to third quarter of 2025. It includes the contribution of equity-accounted entities of €117 million. The tax charge amounted to -€958 million, up +30.9% over the period.
Net income before non-controlling interests stood at €3,051 million, up +36.7% year-on-year. Non-controlling interests increased by €208 million due to the base effect arising from the write-off of non-controlling interests following the acquisition of Santander’s non-controlling interest in the third quarter of 2025, and to the capital gain arising from SBI FM’s initial public offering this quarter.
For the first nine months of 2026, net income Group share stood at €7,654 million, compared with €6,732 million for the first nine months of 2025, representing an increase of +13.7% and +15.9% when adjusted for the capital gain arising from the deconsolidation of Amundi US (+€307m in Q2-2025), and the capital gain arising from the SBI FM initial public offering (+€210m in Q3-2026).
Revenues totalled €31,378 million, up +8.8% in the first nine months of 2026 compared with the first nine months of 2025.
Operating expenses amounted to -€18,110 million, up +2.6% compared to the first nine months of 2025. The cost/income ratio stood at 57.7%, an improvement of -3.5 percentage points year-on-year.
Gross operating income totalled €13,268 million, up +18.5% compared with the first nine months of 2025.
Cost of risk for the first nine months of 2026 stood at -€2,836 million, of which -€345 million in cost of risk on performing loans (stage 1 and 2), -€2,381 million in cost of risk on non-performing loans (stage 3) and -€110 million in other risks, i.e. an increase of +16.1% compared with first nine months of 2025.
At 30 September 2026, risk indicators confirm the high quality of Crédit Agricole Group’s assets and risk coverage level. The Non Performing Loans ratio was low at 2.3% (5). Loan loss reserves amounted to €23.2 billion at the end of September 2026 (€13.3 billion for the Regional Banks), 41% of which represented provisioning of performing loans (47% for the Regional Banks). The prudent management of these loan loss reserves enabled the Crédit Agricole Group to post an overall coverage ratio for non-performing loans of 78.9% 5 at the end of September 2026.
Net income on other assets was €358 million for the first nine months of 2026, including the capital gain related to the SBI FM initial public offering, compared with €456 million for the first nine months of 2025, which included the capital gain related to the deconsolidation of Amundi US. Pre-tax income before discontinued operations and non-controlling interests rose by +16.9% to €11,361 million. The tax charge stood at -€3,059 million, up +28.5%.
Net income before non-controlling interests was therefore up by +13.1%. Non-controlling interests amounted to -€648 million over the first nine months of 2026, up +6.6%.
Regional banks
Gross customer capture totalled +317,000 new customers. The share of customers using digital tools continued to increase. Credit market share (total credits) stood at 23% (at the end of July 2026, source Banque de France), up by +0.3 percentage point compared to July 2025. Loan production was down slightly by -0.8% compared with the third quarter of 2025, reflecting a decline in home loans (-1.3%) in a slowing market. The average production rate for home loans reached 3.20% 6. The global loan stock rate improved by +19 basis points year-on-year. Outstanding loans totalled €668 billion at the end of September 2026, up by +2.1% year-on-year, with an increase across all markets.
Customer assets were up +2.9% year-on-year to reach €958 billion at the end of September 2026. This growth was driven both by on-balance sheet deposits, which reached €615 billion (+1% year-on-year), and off-balance sheet deposits, which reached €343 billion (+6.5% year-on-year) benefiting from strong inflows in life insurance. The market share of on-balance sheet deposits is stable compared to last year and stood at 20.4% (Source Banque de France, data at the end of July 2026, i.e. -0.1 percentage point compared to July 2025). The equipment rate for property and casualty insurance7 was 45.1% at the end of September 2026 and continues to rise (up +0.5 percentage point compared to the end of September 2025). In terms of payment instruments, the number of cards rose by +3.2% year-on-year, as did the percentage of premium cards in the stock, which increased by 3.1 percentage point year-on-year to account for 21.7% of total cards.
In the third quarter of 2026, the Regional Banks’ consolidated revenues including the SAS Rue La Boétie dividend stood at €3,930 million, up +15.5% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Revenues were driven by a sharp increase in the net interest income (+41% Q3/Q3) and increasing fee and commission income. The increase in operating expenses is linked to the increase in employee expenses. The cost/income ratio improved by -7 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2025. The cost of risk, in line with previous quarters, stood at -€420 million. The cost of risk/outstandings (in annualised quarter) increased slightly to 25 basis points, up +2 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2026. The consolidated net income of the Regional Banks stood at €745 million, up +63.9% compared with the third quarter of 2025.
The Regional Banks’ contribution to net income Group share was €756 million in the third quarter of 2026 (x1.7 compared with the third quarter of 2025).
In the first nine months of 2026, revenues including the SAS Rue La Boétie dividend were up (+12.2%) compared to the first nine months of 2025. Operating expenses rose by +2.8%, and gross operating income consequently grew by +27.4% over the first nine months. With cost of risk at -€1,221 million, the Regional Banks’ net income Group share, including the SAS Rue La Boétie dividend, amounted to €4,095 million, up +29% compared to the first nine months of 2025. Finally, the Regional Banks’ contribution to the results of Crédit Agricole Group in the first nine months of 2026 amounted to €1,812 million (x2 compared with the first nine months of 2025) with revenues of €11,573 million (+14%) and a cost of risk of -€1,215 million (+11%).

In the third quarter of 2026, Crédit Agricole S.A.’s net income Group share amounted to €1,991 million, an increase of +17.9% from the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted for the effects of the write-off of non-controlling interests related to the repurchase of Santander’s non-controlling interest (+€79m in Q3-25) and the capital gain associated with SBI FM’s initial public offering 8 (+€205m in Q3-2026), net income Group share rose to +11.0%.
Revenues totalled €7,092 million, up +7.5% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Operating expenses amounted to -€3,928 million, up +2.4% over the period, thereby generating positive jaws of +5.1 percentage points. Excluding base effects 9, scope effects and integration costs 10, recurring expenses 11 rose by +3.2%. Gross operating income stood at €3,164 million, an increase of +14.6% compared to the third quarter of 2025.
Cost of risk was a net addition of -€585 million, up +19.6% compared to the third quarter of 2025. It includes a net addition for non-performing loans (stage 3) of -€483 million (compared to a net addition of -€490 million in the third quarter of 2025) and a net addition on performing loans (stages 1 and 2) of -€97 million (compared to a net reversal of +€19 million in the third quarter of 2025). Also noteworthy is a net addition of -€4 million for other risks (compared with a net addition of -€18 million in the third quarter of 2025). The provisioning levels were determined by taking into account several weighted economic scenarios and by applying some flat-rate adjustments on sensitive portfolios. The weighted economic scenarios for the third quarter of 2026 were unchanged from the second quarter, with a central scenario (French GDP at +0.9% in 2026, +0.9% in 2027), an unfavourable scenario (French GDP at +0.3% in 2026 and -0.6% in 2027) and a severely adverse scenario (French GDP at -1.2% in 2026 and -1.5% in 2027). In the third quarter of 2026, the cost of risk/outstandings was 39 basis points over a four-rolling quarter period 12 and 39 basis points on an annualised quarterly basis 13 (i.e. a deterioration of 1 basis point and 7 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2026).
At 30 September 2026, risk indicators confirm the high quality of Crédit Agricole S.A.’s assets and risk coverage level. The Non Performing Loans ratio was low at 2.5%15, stable over the quarter. The coverage ratio 14 was high at 67.0%, up +1.4 percentage point over the quarter. Loan loss reserves amounted to €9.9 billion for Crédit Agricole S.A., an increase of +2.1% compared to end-June 2026. Of these loan loss reserves, 33.0% corresponds to the provisioning of performing loans.
The contribution of the equity-accounted entities was +€105 million in the third quarter of 2026 versus +€119 million. Pre-tax income before discontinued operations and non-controlling interests therefore increased by +26.6% to €3,027 million. The tax charge was up -€113 million over the quarter to - €706 million. Net income before non-controlling interests was up +29.0% to €2,321 million. Non-controlling interests amounted to -€330 million in the third quarter of 2026, including non-controlling interests relating to the capital gain from SBI FM, and were significantly higher than in the third quarter of 2025, which included the write-off of Santander’s non-controlling interests in CACEIS.
In the first nine months of 2026, stated net income Group share amounted to €5,718 million, compared with €5,662 million in the first nine months of 2025, an increase of +1.0%. Adjusted for the effects of the capital gain arising from the deconsolidation of Amundi US (+€304m in Q2-2025) and the capital gain arising from the SBI FM initial public offering 15 (+€205m in Q3-2026), net income Group share rose to +2.9%.
Revenues were up +5.3% compared to the first nine months of 2025, and operating expenses were up +2.2%. The cost/income ratio for the first nine months of the year was 54.9%; an improvement of -1.7 percentage points compared to the first nine months of 2025. Gross operating income totalled €9,670 million, up +9.4% compared to the first nine months of 2025. The cost of risk increased by +18.9% over the period, to -€1,598 million, versus -€1,344 over the first nine months of 2025. The contribution of equity-accounted entities stood at €500 million in the first nine months of 2026, up +€60 million compared to the first nine months of 2025, or +13.7%. Net income on other assets was €330 million for the first nine months of 2026, including the capital gain related to the SBI FM initial public offering, compared with €457 million for the first nine months of 2025, which included the capital gain related to the deconsolidation of Amundi US. Pre-tax income, before discontinued operations and non-controlling interests therefore increased by +6.1% to €8,903 million. The tax charge was -€2,369 million, versus -€1,953 million for the first nine months of 2025. Net income before non-controlling interests was up +1.4% to €6,442 million. Non-controlling interests stood at -€780 million for the first nine months of 2026, up +4.6% compared to the first nine months of 2025.
RoTE16, calculated on the basis of an annualised net income Group share 17, IFRIC charges, the effects of the additional corporate tax charge linearised over the year, net of annualised Additional Tier 1 coupons (return on equity Group share excluding intangibles) and net of foreign exchange impact on reimbursed AT1s, and restated for all volatile items recognised in equity (including unrealised gains and/or losses), reached 14.2% over the first nine months of 2026, down -0.2 percentage point compared to the first nine months of 2025.
Analysis of the activity and the results of Crédit Agricole S.A.’s divisions and business lines
Activity of the Asset Gathering division
At the end of September 2026, assets under management in the Asset Gathering (AG) division stood at €3,299 billion, up by +€325 billion year-on-year (or +10.9%), thanks to positive net inflows across all business lines.
Insurance activity (Crédit Agricole Assurances) performed strongly in the third quarter of 2026, with total premium income amounting to €12.4 billion, up +5.6% 18 compared with the third quarter of 2025.
In the Savings/Retirement, in the third quarter of 2026, premium income reached €9.4 billion, up +5% year-on-year, driven by France following the success of the new, 100% digital Oriance policy (launched on 23 February in the Regional banks) and policyholders’ deferred profit-sharing schemes on euro-denominated payments. The momentum in gross inflows was evident in both euro-denominated funds (+5.3%) and unit-linked funds (+3.4%). The unit-linked rate in gross inflows 19 was 34.6%. Net inflows totalled +€3.2 billion and comprises net inflows of +€1.4 billion into euro-denominated funds and +€1.8 billion into unit-linked funds.

Finally, the combined ratio at the end of September 2026 stood at 97.2% 22, up +1.8 percentage points year-on-year, due to the high level of climate-related claims since the beginning of the year (drought, crop damage, storms and hail, fires).

In Asset Management (Amundi), assets under management remained stable over the quarter at €2,579 billion at the end of September 2026, impacted by the transfers due to reallocations within an institutional mandate managed by Indian JV SBI FM and by a negative market impact (-€21 billion, due to rising rates).

Compared with the end of September 2025, assets under management increased by +€30 billion, or +13.2%, driven by positive net inflows and the impact of scope effects (takeover of BNPP Monaco assets under management of +€1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2026, the integration in the third quarter of 2026 of +€4.1 billion (Management Company role for funds from private or professional clients) and positive market and foreign exchange impacts over the period).

Personal Finance and Mobility results
In the third quarter of 2026, CAPFM’s revenues amounted to €676 million, down -2.7% compared to the third quarter of 2025. The positive price effect on personal finance does not offset the deterioration in the automotive market within the mobility segment: lower margins on used cars for Crédit Agricole Auto Bank/Drivalia and a significant decline in Drivalia’s short-term rental business.
Expenses stood at -€364 million, up +5.9% in support of business development, and including investments in Crédit Agricole Deutschland and Crédit Agricole Savings projects (around -€6 million in the third quarter of 2026). Gross operating income stood at €312 million, down -11.0% compared with the third quarter of 2025. The cost/income ratio stood at 53.8%, up +4.3 percentage points compared to the same period in 2025. The cost of risk stood at -€254 million, up by +0.8% compared with the third quarter of 2025; incurred risk in France stable at a high level in the third quarter 2026 compared to the second quarter 2026, increasing across certain international entities. Cost of risk/outstandings stood at 145 basis points 38, which was stable compared to the second quarter of 2026. The NPL ratio stood at 5.1% and the coverage ratio at 69.1% at end-September 2026, up +0.4 and down -2.2 percentage points, respectively, compared with end-June 2026. Income from equity-accounted entities stood at -€55 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared with -€7 million for the third quarter of 2025, impacted by the drop in margins on used vehicles at Leasys (contribution of -€55 million in the third quarter of 2026). Pre-tax income fell sharply to €2 million, compared with €91 million in the third quarter of 2025. Net income Group share was negative at -€25 million, compared with €55 million in the third quarter of 2025.
In the first nine months of 2026, CAPFM revenues reached €2,055 million, down -1% from the first nine months of 2025, with positive volume and price effects in personal finance failing to offset the impact of the automotive market’s deterioration on mobility (lower margins on used cars for Crédit Agricole Auto Bank/Drivalia and a decline in short-term rental activity). Expenses stood at -€1,101 million, an increase of +4.5% compared with the first nine months of 2025. They include investments in strategic projects, including Crédit Agricole Deutschland and Crédit Agricole Savings, of around -€16.5 million in the first nine months of 2026. Gross operating income thus stood at €954 million, down -6.6%. The cost/income ratio stood at 53.6%, up +2.8 percentage points compared with the same period in 2025. The cost of risk rose by +7.4% compared with the first nine months of 2025, to -€758 million, driven in particular by an addition for legal provisioning (UK car loans) of +€17 million, the increase in proven risk in France against a backdrop of a challenging economic environment for consumer finance activities, and negative model impacts. The contribution from equity-accounted entities was down sharply at -€76 million in the first nine months of 2026 compared with +€39 million in the first nine months of 2025, impacted notably by the drop in margins on used vehicles at Leasys. Net income Group share was €7 million in the first nine months of 2026, compared with €243 million over the same period in 2025.
Leasing & Factoring results
In the third quarter of 2026, CAL&F’s revenues reached €198 million, up +4.7% compared with the third quarter of 2025, benefiting from the integration of Merca Leasing 39 in the leasing segment and from the rise in rates, which was favourable to factoring, thereby offsetting pressure on margins. Operating expenses stood at -€108 million, representing an increase of +2.1% excluding the integration of Merca Leasing 39. The cost/income ratio stood at 54.9%, stable compared to the third quarter of 2025. Gross operating income stood at €89 million, up +4.4% compared with the third quarter of 2025. The cost of risk amounted to - €41 million for the quarter, rising in particular due to H1/H2 provisions linked to rating effects. Cost of risk/outstandings stood at 42 basis points38, up +18 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2026. Income from equity-accounted entities amounted to -€1 million in the third quarter of 2026, in line with the third quarter of 2025. Pre-tax income amounted to €47 million, down -19.5% compared to the same period in 2025. Net income Group share amounted to €35 million, down -17.6% compared to the third quarter of 2025.

Gross operating income was down -0.5% from the first nine months of 2025 to total €250 million. The cost/income ratio stood at 57.1%, up +2.2 percentage points compared to the first nine months of 2025. The cost of risk rose by +52.4% over the same period due to a specific case. The contribution from equity-accounted entities stood at -€1 million for the first nine months of 2026, compared with -€26 million for the first nine months of 2025, which included a goodwill impairment charge in the first half of 2025.

Corporate Centre results
The net income Group share of the Corporate Centre was -€154 million in the third quarter of 2026, down -€54 million compared with the third quarter of 2025. The contribution of the Corporate Centre division can be analysed by distinguishing between the “structural” contribution (-€150 million) and other items (- €4 million this quarter).
The contribution of the “structural” component (-€150 million) decreased by -€9 million compared with the third quarter of 2025 and can be broken down into three types of activities:
- The contribution of the Crédit Agricole S.A. Parent Company’s corporate centre activities and functions amounted to -€225 million in the third quarter of 2026, an improvement of +€6 million.
- The contribution of the business lines that are not part of the core business lines, such as CACIF (Private Equity), CA Immobilier, CATE and BforBank, which are accounted for using the equity method, and other investments (including Banco BPM), amounted to +€73 million in the third quarter of 2026, down -€10 million compared to the third quarter of 2025. This quarter’s figures include an equity-accounted contribution of €106 million from Banco BPM, an increase of +€16 million, driven by the rise in the stake to 29.3%, Banco BPM’s performance and the recognition of the PPA amortisation 51 with a catch-up effect for the first and second quarters amounting to -€60 million. It also includes a contribution of -€25 million from Foncaris, linked to the tightening of overlays on certain portfolios and rating effects impacting its cost of risk.
- Finally, the contribution from the Group’s support functions amounted to +€2 million this quarter, down -€4 million compared with the third quarter of 2025.
The contribution of “other items” was -€4 million, down -€45 million compared with the third quarter of 2025.
Over the first nine months of 2026, the underlying net income Group share of the Corporate Centre division was -€439 million, up +€25 million compared to the first nine months of 2025. The structural component contributed -€475 million, while the division’s other items contributed +€36 million over the period.
The “structural” component contribution rose by +€20 million compared with the first nine months of 2025 and can be broken down into three types of activities:
- The activities and functions of the Corporate Centre of the Crédit Agricole S.A. Parent Company. This contribution amounted to -€757 million over the first nine months of 2026, up by +€74 million compared with the first nine months of 2025;
- The business lines that are not part of the core business lines, such as CACIF (Private equity), CA Immobilier, BforBank, and other investments: their contribution of +€270 million over the first nine months of 2026 was down by -€42 million compared with the first nine months of 2025;
- The Group’s support functions: their contribution for the first nine months of 2026 was +€13 million, down -€12 million compared with 2025.

Financial strength
Crédit Agricole Group has the best level of solvency among European Global Systemically Important Banks.
The Crédit Agricole Group’s capital ratios remain well above regulatory requirements.
At 30 September 2026, the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio stood at 17.3%, providing a comfortable buffer of 6.9 percentage points-above the regulatory minimum.
Quarter-on-quarter, the CET1 ratio was up by +0.1 percentage point. This change mainly reflects:
- A positive impact of +27 basis points relating to the organic capital generation, corresponding to net income Group share and including organic growth of the business lines;
- A negative impact of -8 basis points linked to distribution, including AT1 coupons;
- An adverse impact of -13 basis points relating to mergers and acquisitions, unrealised gains and/or losses (OCI) and other items, including -10 basis points attributable to the change in OCI and -3 basis points attributable to the capital increase reserved for employees and the share buyback associated with that transaction.
Crédit Agricole S.A., in its capacity as the central body of the Crédit Agricole Group, fully benefits from the internal legal solidarity mechanism as well as the flexibility of capital circulation within the Crédit Agricole Group. At 30 September 2026, Crédit Agricole S.A.’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio stood at 11.2%, representing a buffer of 2.4 percentage points above the regulatory requirement.
Over the quarter, the change in the CET1 ratio reflected several factors:
- It benefited from a positive impact of +34 basis points relating to the organic capital generation, corresponding to net income Group share and including organic growth of the business lines;
- A negative impact of -22 basis points linked to distribution including AT1 coupons52,;
- An adverse impact of -17 basis points relating to mergers and acquisitions, unrealised gains and/or losses (OCI) and other items, including -13 basis points attributable to the change in OCI and -4 basis points attributable to the capital increase reserved for employees and the share buyback associated with that transaction.
At the end of September 2026, Crédit Agricole S.A.'s weighted investments amounted to €434 billion, down slightly by -€0.6 billion compared to the end of June 2026. This stability over the quarter is mainly due to the contained growth of the businesses, amounting to +€1.9 billion, including the positive contribution of insurance income to the change in the equity method (+€1.4 billion), offset by favourable effects related to mergers and acquisitions and methodological impacts, as well as the decrease in the equity method of insurance related to the change in unrealized reserves.
Risk weighted assets of the Crédit Agricole Group stood at €688 billion at the end of September 2026, remaining stable over the quarter for the same reasons as Crédit Agricole S.A.

The Group’s liquidity reserves, at market value and after haircuts 56, amounted to €491 billion at 30 September 2026, up +€16 billion compared to 30 June 2026.
Liquidity reserves covered more than twice the short-term debt net of treasury assets.
This change in liquidity reserves is notably explained by:
- The increase in central bank deposits for +€15 billion.
- The increase in the securities portfolio (HQLA and non-HQLA) for +€7 billion;
- The decrease in collateral already pledged to Central Banks and unencumbered for -€6 billion, linked to the decline in self-securitisations for -€2 billion and the decrease in Central Bank eligible receivables for -€4 billion;
Crédit Agricole Group also continued its efforts to maintain immediately available reserves (after recourse to ECB financing). Central Bank eligible non-HQLA assets after haircuts amounted to €123 billion.
Standing at €1,796 billion at 30 September 2026, the Group’s liquidity balance sheet showed a surplus of stable funding resources over stable application of funds of €205 billion, up +€21 billion over the quarter.
Long term debt was €351 billion at 30 September 2026, up +€9 billion compared with end-June 2026.
This included:
- Senior secured debt of €104 billion, up +€3 billion;
- Senior preferred debt of €178 billion, up +€4 billion;
- Senior non-preferred debt of €48 billion, up +€3 billion;
- And Tier 2 securities of €21 billion, down -€1 billion.
Credit institutions are subject to a threshold for the LCR ratio, set at 100% on 1 January 2018.
At 30 September 2026, the average LCR ratios (calculated on a rolling 12-month basis) were 136% for Crédit Agricole Group (representing a surplus of €85 billion) and 141% for Crédit Agricole S.A. (representing a surplus of €82 billion). It should be noted that Crédit Agricole Group’s LCR ratio is above the 2028 Medium-Term Plan target range of 110% to 130%.
In addition, at 30 June 2026, the NSFR ratios of Crédit Agricole Group and Crédit Agricole S.A. stood at 120% and 115%, respectively.

Alternative Performance Indicators64
NBV Net Book Value (not revalued)
The Net Book Value not revalued corresponds to the shareholders’ equity Group share from which the amount of the AT1 issues, the unrealised gains and/or losses on OCI Group share and the pay-out assumption on annual results have been deducted.
NBV per share Net Book Value per share – NTBV Net Tangible Book Value per share
One of the methods for calculating the value of a share. This represents the Net Book Value divided by the number of shares in issue at end of period, excluding treasury shares.
Net Tangible Book Value per share represents the Net Book Value after deduction of intangible assets and goodwill, divided by the number of shares in issue at end of period, excluding treasury shares.
EPS Earnings per Share
This is the net income Group share, from which the AT1 coupon has been deducted, divided by the average number of shares in issue excluding treasury shares. It indicates the portion of profit attributable to each share (not the portion of earnings paid out to each shareholder, which is the dividend). It may decrease, assuming the net income Group share remains unchanged, if the number of shares increases.
Cost/income ratio
The cost/income ratio is calculated by dividing operating expenses by revenues, indicating the proportion of revenues needed to cover operating expenses.
Cost of risk/outstandings
Calculated by dividing the cost of credit risk (over four quarters on a rolling basis) by outstandings (over an average of the past four quarters, beginning of the period). It can also be calculated by dividing the annualised cost of credit risk for the quarter by outstandings at the beginning of the quarter. Similarly, the cost of risk for the period can be annualised and divided by the average outstandings at the beginning of the period.
Since the first quarter of 2019, the outstandings taken into account are the customer outstandings, before allocations to provisions.
The calculation method for the indicator is specified each time the indicator is used.

A doubtful loan is a loan in default. The debtor is considered to be in default when at least one of the following two conditions has been met:
- a payment generally more than 90 days past due, unless specific circumstances point to the fact that the delay is due to reasons independent of the debtor’s financial situation.
- the entity believes that the debtor is unlikely to settle its credit obligations unless it avails itself of certain measures such as enforcement of collateral security right.
Impaired loan
Loan which has been provisioned due to a risk of non-repayment.
Impaired (or non-performing) loan coverage ratio
This ratio divides the outstanding provisions by the impaired gross customer loans.
Impaired (or non-performing) loan ratio
This ratio divides the impaired gross customer loans on an individual basis, before provisions, by the total gross customer loans.
Net income Group share
Net income/(loss) for the financial year (after corporate income tax). Equal to net income Group share, less the share attributable to non-controlling interests in fully consolidated subsidiaries.
Net income Group share attributable to ordinary shares
The net income Group share attributable to ordinary shares represents the net income Group share from which the AT1 coupon has been deducted, including issuance costs before tax.
RoTE Return on Tangible Equity
RoTE (Return on Tangible Equity) compares annualised net income Group share, excluding the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and net of AT1 coupons, to average restated equity Group share of intangible assets, unrealised gains and/or losses, AT1 debt stock and the proposed distribution in N+1.
