BNP PARIBAS DELIVER A RECORD QUARTER DRIVEN BY EXCELLENT OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIC PLANS
Group net banking income (NBI) came to €14,056m, up by 8.5% compared to the first quarter of 20251, a growth driven by good operating performances in all three operating divisions, as well as the integration of AXA IM. The jaws effect at Group level was very positive at 3 points thanks to reinforced cost discipline in all operating divisions, with AXA IM integration costs expected for 2026 largely absorbed in 1Q26. The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 12.8% accelerating towards its 13% 2027 CET1 ratio target. Net income, Group share came to €3,217m, a record level and up by 9.0% compared to 1Q25. CIB recorded a solid quarter, offset in part by FX headwinds and a high base of comparison with net banking income at €5,243m, down by 0.8% compared to 1Q25. CPBS confirmed the building momentum in the first quarter with a Net banking income2 at €6,852m, up by 4.9% compared to 1Q25. Finally, IPS revenues increased by 32.8% compared to 1Q25 driven by sustained organic growth and the impact of the AXA IM integration.
“The Group has delivered a record first quarter, driven by very good momentum in our operating divisions and the implementation of our strategic plans. The initiatives are already underway to lay the foundations for the 2027–2030 plan and enable us to confirm our objectives for 2028. In today’s uncertain environment, remaining close to our clients and supporting them on a daily basis continues to be our priority. I would like to thank our teams for their continued commitment to serving our clients.”
