Growth in Group share of net income, supported by online banking and cost control

  • Q2 2011: €11.7 billion, up 21 %
  • H1 2011: €22.8 million, up 27%

Commenting on the release of the Q2 2011 results, Inès-Claire Mercereau, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Boursorama stated:

"The second quarter of 2011 was characterised by growth in earnings supported by the online banking activity, which constitute the Group’s main growth driver. The period also confirmed the trend towards breakeven for our international subsidiaries, thanks in particular to tight control of general operating expenses. Group share of net income for the second quarter of 2011 rose by 21% to €11.7 million”.

Unless otherwise stated, comparisons refer to quarter-on-quarter reported data

  • Online banking: main growth driver

During the second quarter of 2011, against the backdrop of deterioration in stock market conditions, the Boursorama Group generated net banking income of €55.4 million, an increase of 5%. This growth was supported by the continuing strong performance of online banking activity.

Operating expenses remained stable at Group level despite the growth of the client franchise.

As a result, gross operating income rose by 18% to €18.6 million.

Group share of net income for the second quarter totalled €11.7 million, up 21% compared with the same period in 2010, including breakeven for the Group’s international subsidiaries.

In the first half of 2011 – thanks to earnings growth also in the first quarter of 2011 – the Group achieved year-on-year growth in net banking income of 11% to €112.2 million. Gross operating income rose by 26% to €35.3 million and Group share of net income was up 27% at €22.8 million.

  • NBI for the banking activity rose 25% to €23.7 million, representing 53% of net banking income in France;
  • NBI for the brokerage activity fell by 14% to €17.6 million, representing 39% of net banking income in France;
  • Revenues from the Internet portal grew by 2% to €3.4 million, representing 8% of net banking income in France.

- Banking activity

Further growth in the client franchise

A total of 15,785 current accounts were opened in France in the second quarter of 2011, with a slight reduction in marketing expenditure. This continuing pace of new account openings was accompanied by growth in clients’ deposits of 28% to €2.9 billion, with an average deposit per new current account of €2,300. Current account deposits therefore increased by 28% to €598 million (up 23%) and savings account deposits (Comptes sur Livret, LDD, Livret A etc.) rose by 41% to €1.6 billion with 10,806 new accounts opened during the quarter. In order to continue to offer its clients the best long term rate, the interest rate on the Boursorama Banque CSL savings account is raised from 2% to 2.25% on August 1st.

Good performance of the savings businesses supported by Life Insurance

Total outstandings of off-balance sheet savings grew by 11% to €3.4 billion. Life Insurance outstandings saw further growth in a declining market1. Mutual Funds outstandings remained stable despite outflows from money market funds.

  • Life Insurance: net inflows rose by 14% to €84 million in the second quarter, giving total outstandings of €2.4 billion (up 16%). Inflows into funds in euros were high thanks to an attractive yield for 2010 (4.10%) and the proportion of investments in unit-linked contracts in total outstandings remains high at 24%.
  • Mutual Funds: Mutual Fund outstandings fell by 0.5% relative to the second quarter of 2010 to €940 million and the mix is improving (non monetary outstandings up 14%).
  • The value of securities under management rose by 22% relative to the second quarter of 2010 to €3.2 billion.

All in all, off-balance sheet assets managed by Boursorama for its clients in France totalled €6.6 billion (off-balance sheet savings and securities under management).

Further growth in online housing loans

The online housing loans business is continuing to grow, maintaining the same quality of client portfolio. Outstanding loans came to €1.5 billion – an increase of 11% relative to the second quarter of 2010 – with loan origination of €68 million, up 12% relative to the second quarter of 2010.

- Brokerage activity

Boursorama’s Brokerage activity was affected by deterioration in stock market conditions in the second quarter of 2011, with a 24% drop in orders to 893,000. Net banking income for the Brokerage activity totalled €17.6 million, down 14%.

- Continuing innovation by Boursorama

In the second quarter of the year, Boursorama Banque launched:

  • "Direct Emetteurs”: for the first time in France, individual investors can now trade directly in warrants, certificates and turbos from three partner issuers (BNP Paribas, Citi and Société Générale) and benefit from a reduction of €1 per order.
  • The Android banking application: more than 10,000 downloads in 45 days.
  • "Instants CB”: two sales and marketing campaigns took place in May and June 2011, involving over 50,000 participants. The aim was to reward the loyalty of clients using their payment card.
  • Full online joint account opening: Boursorama Banque is the only bank to open a fully paperless account opening process.

- Boursorama is a key player in online banking

The online banking business benefits from favourable market conditions in France and has become Boursorama’s main growth driver. In order to re-inforce its assets in this increasingly competitive and demanding market, Boursorama has to evolve.

Boursorama has then presented the project to regroup its resources and sales expertise at the Boulogne-Billancourt head office to employee representative bodies. The project has the following goals:

  • Remaining competitive and enhancing responsiveness to the market;
  • Generating greater client satisfaction in online services.

The proposal concerns the 12 points of sales. The financial impact will be recognised in the account of the second half of 2011.

  • International

The result of the Group’s International subsidiaries was breakeven both on the quarter and on the semester.
