Segment reporting

In November 2017, Natixis presented its new 2018-2020 strategic plan, “New Dimension”. New Dimension sets out three strong initiatives aimed at developingsolutions offering high added value to our clients: to deepen the transformation of our business model, which we achieved under the New Frontier plan, to allocate a significant portion of our investments to digital technologies, reflecting our clear resolve to differentiate ourselves to become a benchmark in the areas where Natixis’ teams boast strong and recognized skills. Subsequent to the sale of the retail banking activities to BPCE S.A., finalized on March 31, 2019, the organizationalstructurewas divided into four business divisions: Asset & Wealth Management , which includes the Asset V Managementactivities of Natixis InvestmentManagers, the wealth management business and employee savings plans; Corporate & Investment Banking , which advises businesses, V institutional investors, insurance companies, banks and public sector entities and offers them a diversified line of financing solutions as well as access to the Capital Markets. Its duties are threefold: to strengthen the bank’s customer focus, to serve as a meeting place between issuers and investors and to roll out the “Originate to Distribute” model to optimize the rotation of the bank’s balance sheet via active management of the loan book; Insurance , which is Groupe BPCE’s single platform for the V distribution of personal insurance and non-life insuranceproducts; Payments , which provides the Banque Populaire/Caissed’Epargne V bank customers and direct customers with payment tools, infrastructures and services. The activities of Private Equity (a proprietary activity retained until it is put into run-off, and portion of sponsored funds) and Natixis Algérie, which are still considered non-strategic, are being added to the Corporate Center. Based on this new organizational structure, senior management monitors divisional performance, draws up business plans and manages the business from an operational perspective. In accordance with IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”, this is the segmentation used by Natixis to define its operating segments. 9.1 Asset Management: Asset Management activities are combined V within Natixis Investment Managers. They cover all asset categories and are carried out mainly in the US and France. These activities are performed by autonomousentities (specializedAsset Management companies and specialized distribution units) coordinated by a holding company that ensures the organization’s consistencyby overseeing its strategicdirection. These companies are thus able to focus on their core business and on achieving robust performance, while retaining the option of developing their own institutional clientele and drawing on the business line’s other support functions, based on appropriate economic models. A number of these asset managers have forged a strong reputation, such as Loomis Sayles, Harris Associates,AEW, DNCA and Ostrum Asset Management. As announced in the third quarter of 2020, Natixis IM announced its gradual withdrawal from H20 (see Note 1.2.2) . Asset & Wealth Management

Coverage of the various customer segments is optimized by the organizationof distributionaround a shared platform and the business franchises developed over the long term by the Asset Managementcompanies. Since the start of 2014, Private Equity companies for third party clients have been transferred to Natixis Investment Managers and a sponsoring vehicle was set up to monitor Natixis’ commitments in the funds. The teams have extensive expertise in equity financing for generally unlisted, small and medium-sized enterprises in France and Europe via sponsored equity holdings. This business line covers the Private Equity segments for third party investors, such as Private Equity deals (top-line funding for mature companies), venture capital (new, innovative companies) and funds of funds.

In 2016, its organizationalstructurewas adapted to better support its customers, by strengthening strategic dialog, and to accelerate the implementationof the “Originate to Distribute” model.
