                                                                                                                  Confirmation of the Net Income trajectory

Press release
Paris, 13 March 2024

The BNP Paribas Group confirms a steady growth trajectory in Net Income, Group Share through the cycle. As such, 2024 Net Income will be higher than 2023 Distributable Net Income.

BNP Paribas also confirms its 2025 ROTE1 target in a range of 11.5% to 12%, as well as its ROTE target of 12% in 2026.

This trajectory, combined with a 60% pay-out ratio2, should enable the Group to return a total of about 20 billion euros3 to its shareholders from 2024 to 2026.

Leveraging its diversified and customer-focused model, BNP Paribas should continue to grow faster than its underlying economy and to gain market share.

The trajectory will also be driven by the return on capital deployed since 2022, following the sale of Bank of the West, with a 2025 return on invested capital of more than 16%.

In addition, the Group announces an acceleration and widening of operating efficiency measures amounting to a recurring figure of about 400 million euros, thus raising the target of the
2022-2025 plan to 2.7 billion euros. The Group also confirms a jaws effect of an average of at least 2 points4 from 2022 to 2025.

Lastly, the Group maintains a conservative origination policy and strict risk control. It reiterates its cost of risk target of below 40 basis points each year over the duration of the plan.
