After
 
December

2023
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
sold
 
some
 
loans
 
in
 
its
 
Retail
 
perimeter
 
on
 
Private
 
Banking
 
defaulted
counterparties for
 
a nominal amount
 
of EUR
 
46 million. Considering
 
the provision
 
booked in 2023,
 
this sale
 
has
no material impact
 
on the
 
Group net result
 
as presented in
 
the consolidated income

the period ended
December 31, 2023.
In March 2024, the Group has proceeded to
 
an increase for EUR 32 million in Sogelife equity
 
participation with no
impact on its ownership due to the parallel increase of
 
equity participation by Sogelife other shareholder.
 
The Group’s sole shareholder is Sogeparticipations S.A., a French Company fully owned by the Société Générale Group.
In 2023, the Group did not proceed with any buyback of its own shares. As of
 
December 31, 2023, the Group’s sole share-
holder holds 11 024 148 shares representing 100% of the share capital of the Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
The Group's capital, on a consolidated basis, is made of:
●
Core Tier I capital: EUR 3 114 million (2022: EUR 3 030 million) ;

Risk management
The understanding, identification, mitigation and control of risks are
 
essential elements of the successful man-
agement of the
 
Group. In accordance
 
with circular CSSF
 
12/552 as amended,
 
the Group’s internal governance
is based on a “three-lines-of-defence” model which relies
 
on distinct internal control functions:
 
●
 
a “first line of defence” function performed by business
 
lines and support functions
●
 
a “second line of defence” function: the credit, market and operational risk management function (RISQ),
and the compliance function (CPLE),
 
●
 
a “third line of defence” function: the internal audit (IGAD).
The main objectives of the Group’s risk management
 
framework are:
●
 
to accurately identify and measure all the risks the Group is subject
 
to,
 
●
 
to maintain an effective oversight framework,
 
and implement enhancement plans when needed;
 
●
 
to propose to the Board of Directors an adequate risk
 
appetite framework for its validation
●
 
to ensure that Société Générale
 
Group’s and the Bank’s
 
risk policies are consistently and
 
effectively ap-
plied throughout the organization;
4.3
 
Risks
The Group’s risk monitoring process identifies seven
 
main risk categories:
Credit Risk:
the credit risk
 
is defined as the
 
risk of loss
 
resulting from the
 
inability of the Group's
 
customers,
sovereign issuers or
 
other counterparties to
 
honour their financial
 
commitments. It also
 
includes the counter-
party risk related to the market activities.
Market Risk:
 
the market risk
 
is defined as the risk
 
of loss due to unfavourable
 
movements in market factors,
such
 
as
 
interest
 
rates,
 
share
 
prices
 
or
 
currency
 
exchange
 
rates,
 
impacting
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
Bank’s
 
market
positions.
Interest Rate Risk:
 
the structural interest rate risk
 
is measured on structural activities
 
(i.e. commercial trans-
actions, associated hedging transactions and treasury transactions)
 
for each of the Group’s entities.
Exchange Rate
 
Risk:
 
the structural
 
exchange rate risk
 
is the risk
 
that a loss
 
occurs due
 
to an unfavourable
movement of the exchange rate affecting the Group
 
due to existing open positions in foreign currencies.
Liquidity Risk:
the liquidity
 
risk is
 
defined as the
 
risk for
 
the Group
 
of not being
 
able to meet
 
at all times
 
its
current and
 
future cash
 
requirements, whether
 
or not
 
those have
 
been anticipated,
 
at a
 
reasonable cost.
 
Li-
quidity is a key factor in the viability of the Group.
Operational Risk:
the operational risk is defined as
 
the risk of loss or fraud as
 
a result of defects in or failure
of internal
 
systems and
 
procedures, human
 
error or
 
external events,
 
including IT
 
risk and
 
management risk.
Particular attention is paid to
Compliance risk
, i.e. the risk of not being compliant
 
with applicable regulations
in areas, among others, of sanctions & embargoes, anti-money
 
laundering and terrorism financing, client pro-
tection, market abuse, data protection and conduct.
Please refer to note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
for further details.

Risk Appetite
Risk Appetite
 
is defined
 
as the
 
level of
 
risk that
 
the Group
 
is prepared
 
to bear
 
in the
 
course of
 
pursuing its
strategic objectives.
 
The Group has defined a Risk Appetite Framework which
 
includes:
 
●
 
a governance over an identified scope;
●
 
a mechanism composed of a set of policies, instructions,
 
procedures, and controls;
●
 
a risk culture favouring risk awareness.
 
The Risk Appetite Statement
 
describes the principles, policies,
 
and metrics that set the Group's
 
risk appetite,
which includes thresholds, limits and Crisis level.
 
The main risk appetite principles are summarised below.
4.4.1. Structural interest rate and
 
exchange risks
The
 
Group
 
assesses
 
and
 
controls
 
structural
 
risks.
 
The
 
mechanism
 
to
 
control
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk,
 
foreign
 
ex-
change
 
risk
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
sensitivity
 
or stress
 
limits
 
adapted
 
to
 
each
 
of the
 
various
 
businesses
 
(entities
 
and
business lines).
4.4.2. Liquidity risk
The Group assesses the solidity of its liquidity profile based
 
on the following:
●
 
Controlling liquidity risk, based on internal stress tests with
 
adapted limits;
●
 
Controlling funding risk, with long term funding projections
 
under base case and stresses scenarios;
●
 
Complying with
 
regulatory obligations, in
 
particular Liquidity Coverage
 
Ratio (“LCR”) and
 
Net Stable
 
Fund-
ing Ratio (“NSFR”) requirements.
4.4.3. Credit and counterparty
 
risks
When taking credit risk, the Group
 
focuses on medium and long-term client
 
relationships, targeting clients with
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
an
 
established
 
relationship
 
of
 
trust
 
and
 
prospects
 
offering
 
the
 
potential
 
for
 
profitable
business development
 
over the
 
medium-term. In
 
a credit
 
or market
 
transaction,
 
credit (or
 
counterparty)
 
risk
acceptability is based, first and
 
foremost, on the borrower’s
 
(or counterparty’s) ability to meet its
 
commitments.
4.4.4. Market risks
The business development
 
strategy of the
 
Group for
 
market activities is
 
focused on addressing
 
client needs,
with a full range of products and
 
solutions. The market risk is strictly managed through various limits related to
a set of appropriate market risk metrics. Overall, the Group’s
 
appetite for market risk is limited
.
4.4.5. Operational risks (excluding
 
compliance risk)
The Bank has no appetite for operational risk.
 
Over recent years, the materialization of such risk has been low
in Private Banking and Securities Services businesses
.
 
4.4.6. Compliance risk
The Group’s policy is strictly compliant with all laws and regulations governing financial and banking activities.
It has no tolerance
 
for not complying
 
with such laws
 
and regulations when
 
conducting its activities.
 
It aims at
maintaining a strong culture of compliance and adequate conduct
 
among its employees.

Outlook
The tightening of economic policies is impacting growth on both sides of the Atlantic. China’s efforts to reduce
its debt burden also continue to weigh on global growth,
 
including that of emerging economies.
 
Concerns
 
around
 
inflation
 
are
 
now
 
focused
 
on
 
wages,
 
but
 
leading
 
indicators
 
show
 
a
 
weakening
 
of
 
labour
markets with
 
a convergence
 
in the
 
number of
 
business bankruptcies
 
and a
 
lower rate
 
of labour
 
retention as
companies’
 
profit
 
margins
 
come under
 
pressure.
 
Inflation
 
is expected
 
to average
 
out to
 
below
 
3% in
 
2024,
close to central bank targets.
Credit spreads are likely to bear
 
the brunt of corporate bankruptcies
 
while sovereign spreads in the eurozone
could suffer to some degree from a return to
 
more stringent fiscal policy in Europe from 1 January
2024, particularly
 
in view
 
of the
 
debate about
 
PEPP (pandemic
 
emergency
 
purchase
 
programme) reinvest-
ments. Greater market volatility cannot be ruled out
 
as recessionary effects are starting to materialise.
 
Rate
 
cuts
 
by
 
the
 
European
 
Central
 
Bank
 
(ECB)
 
and
 
the
 
US
 
Federal
 
Reserve
 
(Fed)
 
will
 
be
 
vital
 
to
 
avoid
 
a
recession. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is expected to abandon
 
negative deposit rates in 2024, but it is unlikely
to move
 
them beyond
 
0% over
 
the forecast
 
horizon. Geopolitical
 
risks are
 
likely to
 
remain high
 
in 2024
 
with
elections on
 
the agenda
 
in Taiwan
 
in the
 
early part
 
of the year,
 
at the
 
European Parliament
 
in spring
 
and in
the US in November.
From
 
a
 
regulatory
 
perspective,
 
governments
 
sought
 
to
 
adapt
 
throughout
 
2023
 
to
 
the
 
emergence
 
of
 
a
 
new
global geopolitical and economic paradigm.
●
 
The worsening geopolitical
 
environment, marked by
 
conflicts in several of
 
the world's regions, forced
governments to respond and take measures to shore up the resilience of their economic and financial
systems. This saw the EU push further ahead with the rollout of its financial
 
sanctions policy and look
further into strategic autonomy considerations, coming
 
up with two initiatives in particular,
 
the EU Net
Zero Industry Act and
 
the EU Critical Raw
 
Materials Act, in response
 
to protectionist measures
 
intro-
duced by the
 
US, notably under the
 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
 
Act and the
 
Inflation Reduction
Act. The
 
EU also
 
encouraged investment in
 
infrastructure (Next
 
Generation EU), energy
 
(REPowerEU)
and defence
 
(European
 
Defence Industrial
 
Strategy).
 
Discussions
 
on the
 
Stability
 
and Growth
 
Pact
(SGP) and its
 
impact on the
 
capacity of European
 
countries to (co-)finance
 
the recovery and
 
ecological
and environmental transitions were the subject of much
 
attention.
 
●
 
The economic environment, marked by rising
 
interest rates and the fight against inflation,
 
also preoc-
cupied the regulatory authorities.
 
Authorities first sought
 
measures to restore
 
purchasing power and
 
lending to households
 
and businesses. In
this context, European
 
banks faced new
 
regulatory actions that
 
weighed on their
 
profitability,
 
such as excep-
tional taxes in certain member countries and tougher
 
ECB requirements on reserves.
 
Meanwhile, the rising interest rate environment fuelled political debate around financial stability: already in the
first half of 2023 authorities and the public alike began
 
to query the resilience of banks amid rising
rates following the
 
regional bank failures experienced
 
in the US.
 
Still not settled
 
in the US,
 
this debate is
 
poised
to continue in 2024.
 
The concerns in
 
Europe, given that
 
the bank collapses
 
in the US
 
virtually coincided with
Credit
 
Suisse's
 
woes
 
in
 
March
 
2023,
 
were
 
nevertheless
 
brief
 
and
 
did
 
not
 
prompt
 
any
 
immediate
 
calls
 
to
strengthen banks’ capital requirements beyond those set
 
out under the Basel framework (CRR3/CRD6).
ESG risks are
 
now incorporated into the
 
European prudential framework review. The question of
 
the prudential
treatment of
 
bank exposures
 
to emissions
‑
intensive activities
 
under Pillar
 
1 has
 
been presently
 
set aside
 
in
favour
 
of
 
additional
 
requirements
 
under
 
Pillar
 
2
 
–
 
the
 
final
 
conclusions
 
of
 
the
 
European
 
Banking
 
Authority
(EBA) on this matter are expected by the end of 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To
 
the Board of Directors of
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
11, Avenue
 
Emile Reuter
L-2420 Luxembourg
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
 
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements
 
of Société Générale Luxembourg S.A. (the “Group”),
which comprise the consolidated statement of financial
 
position as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated
income statement, the consolidated statement of net income
 
and unrealised or deferred gains and losses,
the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity
 
and the consolidated cash flow statement for
the year then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial
 
statements, including material accounting
policies.
 
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
 
give a true and fair view of the consoli-
dated financial position of the Group as of 31 December
 
2023, and of its consolidated financial performance
and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended
 
in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union.
 
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with EU Regulation
 
N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 on the au-
dit profession (“Law of 23 July 2016”) and with International
 
Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as adopted for
Luxembourg by the “Commission de Surveillance du Secteur
 
Financier” (“CSSF”). Our responsibilities under
the EU Regulation Nº 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016
 
and ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF
are further described in the “Responsibilities of the “Réviseur
 
d’Entreprises Agréé” for the audit of the con-
solidated financial statements” section of our report.
 
We are also independent of the Group in accordance
with the International Code of Ethics for Professional
 
Accountants, including International Independence
Standards, issued by the International Ethics Standards
 
Board for Accountants (“IESBA Code”) as adopted
for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical
 
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the con-
solidated financial statements, and have fulfilled our other ethical
 
responsibilities under those ethical require-
ments. We believe that the audit evidence we
 
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
 
a basis
for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment,
 
were of most significance in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements of the current
 
year. These matters were addressed
 
in the context of
the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a
 
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairments on customer loans and provisions on
 
financing commitments
Description
 
As of 31 December 2023, the gross amount of customer loans
 
is EUR 17 740 million, and related impair-
ments amount to EUR 97 million (see Note 3.6).
As of 31 December 2023, provisions relating to financing
 
commitments amount to EUR 1 million (see Note
3.9).
 
Customer loans and financing commitments carry a credit
 
risk which exposes the Group to a potential loss if
its client or counterparty is unable to meet its financial
 
obligations. The Group recognizes expected credit
losses (“ECL”) to cover this risk. Such ECL are calculated
 
in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial instru-
ments”.
 
The assessment of ECL for customer loans and financing
 
commitments requires the exercise of judgment
notably to:
 
●
 
prepare, in an uncertain environment, macro-economic
 
projections which are embedded in the deterio-
ration criteria and in the expected credit losses measurement;
●
 
determine the loan classification criteria under stages 1, 2
 
or 3,taking account of the material increase in
credit risk at loan portfolio level and the impact of measures
 
to support the economy;
●
 
estimate the amount of expected credit losses depending on
 
the different stages;
●
 
determine the adjustments to models and parameters, as well as
 
the sector adjustments considered
necessary to reflect the impact of economic scenarios
 
on expected credit losses and anticipate the de-
fault or recovery cycle for certain sectors.
The qualitative information concerning in particular the
 
recognition and procedure used to estimate ECL is
mainly described in Note 1.6, Note 3.9, Note 8.3 and Note
 
9 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
We considered the assessment of ECL on customer
 
loans and financing commitments to be a key audit
matter for the following reasons:
●
 
the significance of customer loans in the Group’s
 
balance sheet;
●
 
the use of various parameters and assumptions in the
 
models to determine the probability of default, the
loss given default and model adjustments;
 
doc1p28i0
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023
27
●
 
the importance of judgment in determining the criteria
 
of significant increase in credit risk and the way
macro-economic forecasts are taken into account, particularly
 
concerning the economic sectors and ge-
ographic areas most affected by the geopolitical
 
and macro-economic situation;
●
 
the assessment of individual ECL on defaulted loans
 
and financing commitments (stage 3);
●
 
the heightened difficulty to determine ECL during an
 
uncertain geopolitical and macro-economic situa-
tion with interest rates remaining at a high level following
 
the sharp increase in 2022 and 2023.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
 
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s
 
internal control and tested the manual and automated
 
key
controls relating to the assessment of the credit risk and
 
the measurement of the ECL.
With the support of internal specialists in risk management and
 
modelling included in the audit team, we fo-
cused our work on the most significant loans and/or portfolios
 
of loans to customers, as well as on the fi-
nancing granted to companies operating in economic sectors
 
and geographical areas most impacted by the
current geopolitical, and macro-economic situation.
Concerning ECL, our audit work notably consisted in:
●
 
examining the compliance of policies and methodologies
 
implemented by the Group with IFRS 9 “Finan-
cial instruments” requirements;
 
●
 
analyzing the main parameters used by the Group to classify
 
outstanding exposures and assess
stages 1 and 2 ECL calculation as at December 31, 2023,
 
including the integration of macro-economic
projections with the support of economists from our firm;
 
●
 
testing a sample of customer loans and financing commitments
 
consisting of key items and items se-
lected on the basis of our professional judgment to form
 
our own assessment as to whether they are
classified in the appropriate stage;
●
 
performing tests on impairment models implemented in the
 
information systems which are used to pre-
pare financial information;
 
●
 
Assessing the ability of model adjustments and parameters,
 
as well as sector adjustments to provide
adequate coverage of the level of credit risk in the current geopolitical
 
and macro-economic situation.
●
 
performing a counter-calculation of the ECL as at December
 
31, 2023;
●
 
examining the analyses prepared by the Group regarding
 
variations of customer loans and financing
commitments between stages and the related ECL during the
 
year;
●
 
testing based on a sample of exposures selected using
 
our professional judgment, as at
 
December 31, 2023, the main assumptions used to classify
 
loans in stage 3, as well as the estimation of
the related individual ECL. We examined in a critical
 
manner the conclusions of the specialized commit-
tee monitoring such exposures and the assumptions used to
 
determine expected cash flows and esti-
mated recovery from any underlying collateral.

Mirroring of financial assets and financial liabilities related
 
to issuance activity at SG Issuer S.A.
 
Description
As of 31 December 2023, SG Issuer S.A. (“SGIS”) is accounted
 
for using the equity method (see Note
2.3.2).
 
The activity of SGIS consists in issuing Notes and Warrants,
 
which are subscribed by investors. These finan-
cial instruments are economically fully hedged with mirror
 
transactions concluded with Société Générale
S.A. replicating the financial instruments issued by SGIS.
 
We considered the mirroring of financial instru-
ments issued to be a key audit matter in light of the financial
 
risk to the Group which would result from the
inadequate mirroring of the financial instruments issued by SGIS.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We tested the key controls implemented by SGIS
 
in relation with the issuance of financial instruments and
the conclusion of mirror transactions with Société Générale
 
S.A., as well as the key controls on the stock of
financial instruments to ensure the mirroring effectiveness.
We verified the intercompany reconciliation process
 
between SGIS and Société Générale S.A., and the
 
in-
tercompany reconciliations performed as of 31 December
 
2023.
We tested whether SGIS has contracted the mirror
 
financial instruments with Société Générale S.A.
 
for a
sample of financial instruments issued by the Group as
 
of 31 December 2023.
We inquired about the existence of operational errors
 
during the year and, if applicable, the related financial
impact.
Other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information.
 
The other information comprises the infor-
mation included in the consolidated management report but
 
does not include the consolidated financial
statements and our report of “Réviseur d’Entreprises Agréé” thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does
 
not cover the other information and we do not ex-
press any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial
 
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
 
information is materially inconsistent with the con-
solidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained
 
in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
 
conclude that there is a material misstatement of
this other information, we are required to report this fact.
 
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the consolidated
 
financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation
 
and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the
 
European Union, and for such internal control as the
Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the
 
preparation of consolidated financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due
 
to fraud or error.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for presenting and
 
marking up the consolidated financial state-
ments in compliance with the requirements set out in the Delegated
 
Regulation 2019/815 on European Sin-
gle Electronic Format, as amended (“ESEF Regulation”).In preparing
 
the consolidated financial statements,
the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s
 
ability to continue as a going concern, dis-
closing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
 
and using the going concern basis of accounting
 
un-
less the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group
 
or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
 
Responsibilities of the “Réviseur d’Entreprises Agréé” for
 
the audit of the consolidated financial
statements
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance
 
about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
 
whether due to fraud or error,
 
and to issue a re-
port of the “Réviseur d’Entreprises Agréé” that includes
 
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
 
in accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014,
the Law of 23 July 2016 and with the ISAs as adopted
 
for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a
 
ma-
terial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
 
arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with EU Regulation N° 537/2014,
 
the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs
as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF,
 
we exercise professional judgment and maintain
 
professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
●
 
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
 
of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design
 
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
 
and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
 
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
 
a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
 
resulting from error,
 
as fraud may in-
volve collusion, forgery,
 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
 
of internal control;
●
 
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit
 
in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
 
of expressing an opinion on the effective-
ness of the Group’s internal control;
●
 
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
 
and the reasonableness of accounting esti-
mates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors;
 
doc1p28i0
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023
30
●
 
Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors’ use
 
of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
 
uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s
 
ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
 
to draw attention in our report of the “Révi-
seur d’Entreprises Agréé” to the related disclosures in
 
the consolidated financial statements or,
 
if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions
 
are based on the audit evidence ob-
tained up to the date of our report of the “Réviseur d’Entreprises
 
Agréé”. However, future
 
events or con-
ditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
●
 
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
 
of the consolidated financial statements, includ-
ing the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial
 
statements represent the underlying transac-
tions and events in a manner that achieves
 
fair presentation;
●
 
Assess whether the consolidated financial statements have been
 
prepared, in all material respects, in
compliance with the requirements laid down in the ESEF Regulation;
●
 
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
 
the financial information of the entities and busi-
ness activities within the Group to express an opinion
 
on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of
 
the Group audit. We remain solely respon-
sible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance
 
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
 
any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
 
We also provide those charged with governance with
 
a statement that we have complied with relevant ethi-
cal requirements regarding independence and communicate to them
 
all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
 
and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
 
governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial
 
statements of the current period and are there-
fore the key audit matters. We describe these
 
matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
We have been appointed as “Réviseur d’Entreprises
 
Agréé” by the Board of Directors on 31 May 2023 and
the duration of our uninterrupted engagement, including previous
 
renewals and reappointments, is 8 years.
The consolidated management report is consistent with
 
the consolidated financial statements and has
 
been
prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
 
The corporate governance statement, included in the consolidated
 
management report, is the responsibility
of the Board of Directors.
 
The information required by article 70bis paragraph 1 of
 
the law of 17 June 1992
relating to the annual and consolidated accounts of credit
 
institutions governed by the laws of Luxembourg,
as amended, is consistent with the consolidated financial statements
 
and has been prepared in accordance
with applicable legal requirements.

We have checked the compliance of the consolidated
 
financial statements of the Group as of
 
31 December 2023 with relevant statutory requirements
 
set out in the ESEF Regulation that are applicable
to the consolidated financial statements. For the Group, it relates

●
 
Financial statements prepared in valid xHTML format;
 
●
 
The XBRL markup of the consolidated financial statements using

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of
 
the Group as of 31 December 2023, identified as
“Société Générale Luxembourg S.A. consolidated financial statements
 
12.31.2023 ESEF”, have been pre-
pared, in all material respects, in compliance with the
 
requirements laid down in the ESEF Regulation.
We confirm that the prohibited non-audit services
 
referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014 were not provid-
edand that we remained independent of the Group in
 
conducting the audit.

CORPORATE INFORMATION
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A. (the

insurance model.
The Group has also treasury and
 
assets liabilities management functions which are respon-
sible for
 
monitoring, managing and
 
hedging structural risks
 
arising from
 
all the

capital is wholly-owned by

ited liability company (“Société Anonyme”), incorporated

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost
 
basis except for
derivative financial instruments, financial
 
assets and liabilities at fair
 
value through profit or loss
and financial assets
 
at fair value
 
through other comprehensive income that
 
have been measured
at fair value.
 
The
 
carrying
 
values
 
of
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
that
 
are
 
designated
 
as
 
hedged
 
items
 
(fair
 
value
hedges)
 
are
 
adjusted
 
to
 
record
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
values
 
attributable
 
to
 
risks
 
that
 
are
 
being
hedged in effective hedge relationships. These
 
assets and liabilities would otherwise be
 
carried
at amortised cost.
 
The disclosures provided in the notes
 
to the consolidated financial statements
 
of the Group are
based on
 
information
 
that
 
is
 
both relevant
 
and
 
material
 
to the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of Société
Générale Luxembourg
 
Group, its
 
activities and the
 
circumstances in
 
which it conducted
 
its op-
erations over the year.
The Group
 
publishes its consolidated
 
financial statements as
 
at December 31,2023,
 
in European
Single Electronic Format (“ESEF”) in accordance with European Regulation 2019/815 and mod-
ified by the delegated Regulation 2022/352.

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 1 “DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES” AND IFRS PRACTICE STATEMENT
 
2
“MAKING MATERIALITY JUDGEMENTS”
The aim of
 
these amendments
 
is to help
 
companies to
 
clarify the
 
concept of
 
materiality of
 
the information
on accounting
 
policies disclosed
 
in the
 
notes to
 
the financial
 
statements and
 
the usefulness
 
of that
 
infor-
mation to investors and financial statement users.
In the absence of a definition
 
of the term “significant” in IFRS, the
 
Board decided to replace it with “material”
in the context of disclosing accounting policy information.
 
Although standardized information is less
 
useful to users, other than
 
entity-specific accounting policy
 
infor-
mation, the Board agreed that, in some
 
circumstances, standardized accounting policy
 
information may be
needed for users to understand other material information in the
 
financial statements.
 
The Group
 
takes into
 
account these
 
amendments for
 
the preparation
 
of its
 
consolidated financial statements,
with no material changes compared
 
to the disclosures already usually
 
presented in the consolidated finan-
cial statements.
 
AMENDMENTS TO IAS 8 “DEFINITION OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES”
These amendments aim to facilitate the distinction between changes in accounting policies and changes
 
in
accounting estimates.
 
The Group
 
takes into
 
account these
 
amendments for
 
the preparation
 
of its
 
consolidated financial statements,
with no material changes compared
 
to the disclosures already usually
 
presented in the consolidated finan-
cial statements.
 
AMENDMENTS TO IAS 12 “INCOME TAX – DEFERRED TAX
 
FOR ASSETS AND LIABILITIES RELATED TO THE
SAME TRANSACTION”
These amendments clarify and
 
narrow the scope of
 
the exemption provided by
 
the IAS 12
 
standard allowing
institutions to
 
not recognise any
 
deferred tax during
 
the initial recognition
 
of an
 
asset and a
 
liability. All leases
and decommissioning obligations for which
 
companies recognize both an asset and
 
a liability and have
 
now
to recognize deferred taxes, are excluded from the scope
 
of these amendments.
The aim
 
of these
 
amendments is
 
to reduce
 
heterogeneity in
 
the recognition
 
of the
 
deferred tax
 
related to
leases and decommissioning obligations.
Since the
 
date
 
of
 
first application
 
of IFRS
 
16, the
 
Group has
 
been considering
 
the
 
rights
 
of use
 
and
 
the
lease-related debt as
 
a single transaction.
 
Consequently,
 
on the initial
 
recognition date, the
 
amount of de-
ferred tax
 
asset
 
offsets
 
the
 
amount of
 
deferred
 
tax
 
liability.
 
The
 
net
 
temporary
 
differences
 
resulting
 
from
later variations in the right of use and lease debt subsequently result
 
in the recognition of a deferred tax.
 
As such, this amendment has no effect on the Group’s
 
consolidated financial statements.
AMENDEMENTS TO IAS 12 ”INTERNATIONAL TAX
 
REFORM - MODEL PILLAR RULES” 
Published in May 2023, amendments effective immediately
 
upon issuance but certain disclosure require-
ments are effective later.
These amendments introduce a mandatory temporary
 
exception to the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities relating to income taxes arising from OECD
 
Pillar 2 rules, and apply retrospectively to fiscal
years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
 
This exemption is accompanied by specific disclosure requirements
 
in the consolidated financial state-
ments.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS,
 
AMENDMENTS OR INTERPRETATIONS
 
TO BE APPLIED BY
THE GROUP IN THE FUTURE
The IASB published accounting standards and amendments, some
 
of which have not been adopted by the
European Union as at December 31, 2023. Their application is required for
 
the financial years beginning on
or after January
 
1, 2024 at
 
the earliest or on
 
the date of their
 
adoption by the
 
European Union. They
 
have
thus not been applied to the Group as at December 31, 2023.
The provisional application
 
timeframe for the
 
standards, amendments
 
and interpretation
 
with the most
 
im-
pact on the Group is as follows:
AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 16 “LEASE LIABILITY IN A SALE AND LEASEBACK”
 
Published in September 2022, applicable for annual periods
 
beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
These amendments provide clarifications on the subsequent
 
measurement of leaseback transactions
when the initial sale of the asset meets the criteria of IFRS 15
 
(“Revenue from contract with customers”) to
be recognised as a sale. These amendments specify in particular
 
how to subsequently assess the lease
liability resulting from these leaseback transactions, made
 
of variable lease payments that do not depend
on an index or a rate.
These amendments have no impact on the Group's consolidated
 
financial statements.
AMENDMENTS TO IAS 21 “LACK OF EXCHANGEABILITY”
Published in August 2023, applicable for annual periods
 
beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
These amendments specify the situations in which a currency
 
is considered convertible, and the proce-
dure for assessing the spot exchange rate when exchangeability
 
is lacking. They also detail the supple-
mentary information to provide in the Notes to the financial statements
 
for non-convertible currencies.
A currency is considered to be exchangeable into another
 
currency when an entity is able to obtain the
other currency within a time frame that allows for a normal
 
administrative delay and through a market or
exchange mechanism in which an exchange transaction would
 
create enforceable rights and obligations.
If a currency is not exchangeable into another currency,
 
an entity is required to estimate the spot ex-
change rate at the measurement date. An entity’s
 
objective in estimating the spot exchange rate is to re-
flect the rate at which an orderly exchange transaction
 
would take place at the measurement date be-
tween market participants under prevailing economic conditions.
 
The amendments note that an entity can
use an observable exchange rate without adjustment or
 
another estimation technique.

INITIAL APPLICATION
 
OF IFRS 17 “INSURANCE CONTRACTS” AND
 
OF IFRS 9 “FINAN-
CIAL INSTRUMENTS” TO INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES
IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, issued on 18 May 2017
 
and modified by the 25 June 2020
 
and 9 December
2021 Amendments, replaces IFRS 4
 
“Insurance Contracts” which allowed, in
 
particular, insurance contracts
to be recognised using methods set out by the local accounting
 
regulations.
 
On November
 
23, 2021,
 
the European
 
Commission
 
(EC) published
 
in the
 
Official Journal
 
Regulation the
regulation (EU)
 
2021/2036 of
 
November 19,
 
2021 adopting
 
IFRS 17
 
“Insurance contracts“.
 
This adoption
included the possibility
 
for European companies to
 
not apply the requirement
 
stated in the standard
 
to group
some insurance contracts by
 
annual cohort for
 
their measurement (see paragraph: “Grouping
 
of contracts”);
this exemption will be reassessed by the European Commission
 
at the latest on December 31, 2027.
Since 1
 
January 2023,
 
the Group
 
has been
 
applying IFRS17.
 
On the
 
same date,
 
the Group’
 
subsidiaries
operating in
 
the insurance
 
sector applied
 
IFRS 9
 
“Financial Instruments”
 
for the
 
first time;
 
this application
had
 
been
 
delayed
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
possibilities
 
offered
 
by
 
the
 
Amendments
 
to
 
IFRS
 
17
 
and
 
to
 
IFRS
 
4
issued by the IASB on June 25, 2020 and expanded
 
by Regulations (EU) 2017/1988 and 2020/2097 of
 
the
European Commission.
On 8 September 2022, the European Union adopted the amendments
 
to IFRS 17 published by the IASB
on 9 December 2021 with the aim of improving the usefulness
 
of the comparative information about finan-
cial assets presented on the initial application of IFRS 17 and
 
IFRS 9.
The main consequences of the application of IFRS 17
 
are:
◾
the measurement of insurance contracts, materialised mainly as
 
liabilities on the balance sheet:
their value will be updated on each closing date based
 
on a reestimate of the future cash flows
related to their execution. This reestimate takes account,
 
in particular, of market
 
data in relation to
financial elements and the behaviour of policyholders;
◾
the recognition of the margin: although the profitability
 
of the insurance contracts remains un-
changed, the pace of recognition in the income statement will
 
be modified. Any expected profit will
be deferred in the balance sheet and spread in the income
 
statement over the coverage period of
the insurance contracts. Conversely any expected loss
 
will immediately be recognised in the in-
come statement upon its initial recognition or in subsequent
 
measurements; and
◾
the presentation of the income statement: the operating expenses
 
attributable to the execution of
insurance contracts will hence be presented in reduction of the
 
Net Banking Income as Insurance
services expenses and will thus not impact the total operating
 
expenses on the consolidated in-
come statement anymore.

TRANSITIONAL AND INITIAL APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
IFRS 17 standard
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The initial
 
application of
 
IFRS 17
 
as at
 
January
 
1, 2023
 
is retrospective
 
and the
 
comparative data
 
of the
2022 financial year have been restated.
The differences
 
in measurement of
 
the insurance assets
 
and liabilities resulting
 
from the retrospective
 
ap-
plication of
 
IFRS 17
 
as at
 
January 1,
 
2022 are
 
presented directly
 
in equity.
 
Fully retrospective
 
application
was used for SG Ré, SG Luxembourg Ré (“SGL Ré”)
 
and SG Luxembourg Credit Insurance (“SG LUCI”).
The retrospective
 
measurement
 
of these
 
assets and
 
liabilities, and
 
in particular
 
of the
 
different
 
insurance
contract portfolios, may be subject to
 
simplified alternate approaches when the historical
 
data necessary for
a fully retrospective application are not available. The standard
 
then allows for the use of:
 
-
 
either a modified retrospective approach
 
that will provide, based on reasonable
 
information availa-
ble at no
 
cost or undue effort,
 
measurements that are as
 
close as possible
 
to those that would
 
result
from the retrospective application of the standard (approach
 
used for Sogelife);
-
 
or an approach based on the fair value of the insurance contracts
 
portfolios as at January 1, 2022.
The assessment of
 
the insurance contracts
 
made on a
 
current basis, taking
 
into account the
 
time value of
money and the financial risks relating to future cash flows, required the review of the modalities to measure
some assets backing the contracts with a view of removing
 
the possible accounting mismatch.
Transitioning to IFRS 17 requires including in the
 
assessment of the insurance contracts the administrative
costs (personnel expenses,
 
amortisation expenses for
 
fixed assets …) directly
 
attributable to the fulfilment
of contracts and present them as Insurance services expenses
 
in the Net banking income.
The Group’s
 
insurance entities will
 
systematically identify
 
in the fulfilment
 
cash flows
 
of their contracts
 
the
amount of administrative costs they expect
 
to bear. These administrative
 
costs will be presented under the
“Insurance services expenses in the Net banking income” item. Consequently, the administrative costs pre-
sented by nature on the income
 
statement will be reduced
 
by the amounts allocated to the
 
fulfilment of the
insurance contracts.
IFRS 9 Standard
The initial application of IFRS 9 by the Group’s insurance
 
entities as at January 1, 2023 is retrospective.
For the sake of
 
consistency with the IFRS 17 transition
 
arrangements, and in order to
 
provide more relevant
and useful information,
 
the Group
 
has restated
 
the comparative
 
data of the
 
2022 financial
 
year relating
 
to
the relevant financial instruments of its
 
insurance entities (including the financial
 
instruments derecognised
during the
 
2022 financial
 
year
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
17
 
amendment
 
which
 
allows
 
the presentation
 
of
comparative information concerning a
 
financial asset as
 
if IFRS
 
9 had previously
 
been applied to
 
that asset).
Following the
 
retrospective application
 
of IFRS
 
9 as
 
at January
 
1, 2022,
 
differences
 
resulting mainly
 
from
the measurement
 
of the financial
 
assets and
 
liabilities concerned
 
and of the
 
impairment for
 
credit risk
 
are
recognised directly in equity.
The treatment
 
of the financial
 
assets currently
 
measured at
 
fair value through
 
profit or loss
 
have not
 
been
modified. The other financial assets (mainly Financial assets
 
available for sale) comprise:
 
◾
Equity financial instruments – these inst/ruments, which
 
corresponds to variable income instru-
ment or equity investments negotiated in relation to the management
 
of insurance contracts, were
reclassified as Financial assets at fair value through profit
 
or loss.
◾
Financial debt financial instruments – the cash flows of
 
which correspond solely to repayments of
principal and payment of interest on the principal due – (see
 
Note 4.3.2)

o
 
held within a “Collect and sell” business model: these
 
instruments, which correspond to invest-
ments negotiated
 
in relation to
 
the management
 
of insurance contracts,
 
will be reclassified
 
as
Financial assets at fair value through equity.
o
 
held within a “Collect” business model: these instruments, primarily held for the
 
reinvestment of
own funds, will be reclassified as Financial assets at amortised
 
cost;
◾
Debt non-basic financial instruments: these instruments
 
will be reclassified as Financial assets at
fair value through Profit or Loss. The unrealised Gains
 
and losses recognised directly in equity will
be reclassified under Retained earnings (with no impact
 
on the Group’s equity).
Assessing the credit quality
 
of the assets held
 
(see Note 4.3.4), the
 
application of the IFRS 9
 
provisions to
the recognition of expected credit losses should only result
 
in a limited increase in their impairment.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
New presentation of the financial statements
On
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet,
 
the
 
accounting
 
outstanding
 
amounts
 
related
 
to
 
insurance
 
contracts,
 
previously
booked under
 
Other
 
assets, Insurance
 
contracts related
 
liabilities and
 
Other liabilities
 
are now
 
presented
under Insurance and reinsurance contracts assets and
 
Insurance and reinsurance contracts liabilities.
 
The accounting outstanding
 
amounts related to the
 
financial instruments of
 
insurance activities, previously
booked on the
 
assets side
 
under Investments
 
of insurance companies
 
and on the
 
liabilities side
 
under In-
surance contracts
 
related liabilities,
 
are now
 
presented under
 
the different
 
headings of
 
the balance
 
sheet
according to their classification and valuation technique.
 
In the consolidated income
 
statement, in the Net
 
banking income, the income
 
and expenses related to
 
the
insurance contracts issued and the
 
reinsurance contracts were previously
 
grouped under Net income from
insurance activities. These income and expenses are now
 
measured and recognised according to IFRS 17,
and presented in the Net banking income under the following headings:
 
●
 
Income from insurance contracts issued;
●
 
Insurance service expenses;
●
 
Income and expenses from reinsurance contracts held;
●
 
Net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts
 
issued; and
●
 
Net finance income or expenses from reinsurance contracts
 
held.
The incomes
 
and expenses
 
related to
 
the financial
 
instruments of
 
insurance subsidiaries,
 
previously pre-
sented under Net
 
income from insurance
 
activities, are now presented
 
under the consolidated income
 
state-
ment headings dedicated
 
to the valuation
 
of financial instruments,
 
with the exception
 
of the expenses
 
and
incomes related to credit risk which are presented in
 
the Net banking income under Cost of credit risk
 
of the
financial assets related to insurance activities (Note 3.9.3).
 
Furthermore, in
 
the context
 
of the
 
application of
 
IFRS 17,
 
the Group
 
has modified
 
the presentation
 
of the
general operating expenses in the consolidated income statement to improve the readability of the Group’s
performance.
 
The
 
Other
 
general
 
operating
 
expenses
 
heading
 
now
 
includes
 
the
 
amounts
 
previously
 
pre-
sented
 
under
 
Personnel
 
expenses
 
and
 
Other
 
operating
 
expenses,
 
from
 
which
 
are
 
deducted
 
the
 
general
operating expenses related
 
to insurance contracts
 
that are presented
 
under the Insurance
 
service expenses
heading in the Net banking income.
Impacts on the Group’s financial
 
statements of the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 by
 
insurance
entities
 
The retrospective application of IFRS
 
17 and IFRS 9
 
by the Group’s insurance entities as
 
at January 1,2022
(transition date), results in a EUR 5,8
 
million decrease in the Group’s consolidated equity and in
 
a decrease

of EUR
 
2,4 million in
 
total liabilities mainly
 
explained by the
 
recording of a
 
differed contractual service margin
for EUR 77,5
 
million compared
 
an amount of
 
EUR 79,3 million
 
insurance contracts
 
related liabilities previ-
ously recorded under IFRS 4.
 
The total assets decrease by EUR 8,2 million is mainly
 
explained by
 
●
 
the reclassification of investments of insurance activities
 
for EUR 371,9 million under IAS 39 which
were retreated in IFRS 9 as follows: EUR 356,6 million of financial
 
assets (debt instruments) at fair
value through other comprehensive income, EUR 12,3 million debt securities at
 
amortized cost and
EUR 2 million financial assets at fair value through profit
 
and loss (equity instruments) on SG Ré;
●
 
the
 
decrease
 
of
 
other
 
assets
 
for
 
EUR
 
4,8
 
million
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
retreatment
 
under
 
IFRS
 
17
 
of
 
the
receivables
 
related to reinsurance operations;
 
●
 
the retreatment of
 
Sogelife 2022 result
 
from IFRS
 
4 to IFRS
 
17 leading to
 
a decrease of
 
EUR 3,9
million in the investments accounted for using the equity
 
method.
 
In the consolidated financial statements,
 
the restated data are identified with “R”.

USE OF ESTIMATES
 
AND JUDGMENTS
To
 
prepare the
 
Group’s
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
in
 
application
 
of the
 
accounting
 
principles
 
de-
scribed in the Notes, the Board of Directors makes assumptions and estimates that may have an impact on
the amounts recognised in the income statement as Unrealised or deferred capital gains and
 
losses, on the
valuation of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet, and on the information disclosed in the related notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
 
In order to make these assumptions and estimates, the Board of Directors uses the information available at
the date of preparation of
 
the consolidated financial statements
 
and may exercise its
 
judgment. Valuations
based on
 
estimates innately
 
involve risks
 
and uncertainties
 
relating to
 
their occurrence
 
in the future.
 
Con-
sequently,
 
the
 
actual future
 
results may
 
differ
 
from these
 
estimates
 
and have
 
a significant
 
impact
 
on the
financial statements.
The assumptions
 
and estimates
 
made for
 
the preparation
 
of these
 
consolidated financial
 
statements take
into account the uncertainties
 
about the economic consequences
 
of the war in Ukraine.
 
Those that remain
with regard to
 
the Covid-19
 
pandemic, as well
 
as of the
 
current macroeconomic
 
conditions. The effects
 
of
these events on the assumptions and estimates used are specified
 
in the 6th paragraph of this Note.
Uncertainty
 
about these
 
assumptions
 
and
 
estimates
 
could
 
result
 
in outcomes
 
that
 
require
 
a
 
material
 
ad-
justment to the carrying
 
amount of assets or
 
liabilities affected in
 
future periods. In
 
the process of applying
the Group’s accounting policies,
 
the Board of
 
Directors has made
 
the following judgments
 
and assump-tions
concerning
 
the
 
future
 
and
 
other
 
key
 
sources
 
of
 
estimation
 
uncertainty
 
at
 
the
 
reporting
 
date,
 
that
 
have
 
a
significant risk of
 
causing a
 
material adjustment
 
to the carrying
 
amounts of assets
 
and liabilities within
 
the
next financial
 
year.
 
Existing circumstances
 
and assumptions
 
about future
 
developments may
 
change due
to circumstances beyond
 
Group’s control and are
 
reflected in the
 
assumptions if and
 
when they occur. Items
with
 
the
 
most
 
significant
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
amounts
 
recognized
 
in
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
with
substantial management
 
judgment and/or
 
estimates are
 
listed below
 
with respect
 
to judgments/estimates
involved.
In the process
 
of applying
 
the Group’s
 
accounting policies,
 
the Board of
 
Directors has
 
made the following
judgments
 
and
 
estimates,
 
which
 
have
 
the
 
most
 
significant
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
amounts
 
recognized
 
in
 
the
 
con-
solidated financial statements:
-
 
the fair value in the balance
 
sheet of financial instruments not listed
 
on an active market which are
recognised as Financial
 
assets and liabilities
 
at fair value
 
through profit or
 
loss, Hedging derivatives,
Financial
 
assets
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income
 
or
 
Investments
 
of
 
insurance
companies (described in
 
Notes 3.2, 3.3,
 
3.4, 3.5 and
 
4.3), as well
 
as the fair
 
value of the
 
instruments
measured at amortised
 
cost for which
 
this information must
 
be disclosed in
 
the Notes to
 
the financial
statements;
-
 
the impairment and provisions for credit risk related to financial assets measured at
 
amortised cost
or at
 
fair value
 
through other
 
comprehensive income
 
and loan
 
commitments and
 
guarantee com-
mitments granted measured using models or internal assumptions
 
based on historical, current and
prospective data (see Note 3.9, 8.3 and 9). The use of estimates and judgment relates in particular
to the assessment of the deterioration in
 
credit risk observed since the initial recognition of
 
financial
assets and the
 
measurement of the
 
amount of expected
 
credit losses on
 
these same financial
 
as-
sets;
-
 
the estimates related to the
 
valuation of insurance contracts
 
assets and liabilities and of the
 
imple-
mentation of the
 
transition methods in the
 
context of the
 
initial application of IFRS
 
17 (see Note
 
4.3);
-
 
the tax assets and liabilities recognised on balance sheet
 
(see Note 6);
-
 
the analysis of the characteristics of the contractual cash
 
flows of financial assets (see Note 3);
-
 
the assessment of control
 
for the determination of
 
the scope of consolidated
 
entities, especially with
regard to structured entities (see Note 2).

CLIMATE RISK
In line with the
 
Société Générale Group
 
approach, Société Générale
 
Luxembourg Group contin-
ues its
 
work to
 
gradually integrate
 
climate risks
 
in the
 
preparation of
 
its consolidated
 
accounts.
Climate change-related risks are not
 
a new risk category but rather
 
an aggravating factor for cat-
egories
 
already
 
covered
 
by
 
the
 
Société
 
Générale
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
management
 
system.
 
In
 
this
 
regard,
 
the
impact of transitional risk on the credit risk of
 
the corporate customers remains one of the major climate risk
for the Société Générale Group and its subsidiaries.
Furthermore, the Société
 
Générale Group is
 
currently analyzing the
 
provisions in the
 
Europe-an Sustaina-
bility Reporting
 
Standards (ESRS)
 
adopted by
 
the European
 
Commission on
 
31 July
 
2023, notably
 
those
related
 
to
 
the
 
connections
 
between
 
the
 
future
 
sustainability
 
reports
 
and
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
state-
ments.

GEOPOLITICAL CRISES AND MACROECONOMIC
 
CONTEXT
 
2023 was
 
a year
 
of cumulative
 
uncertainties
 
with, in
 
particular,
 
the continuing
 
conflict in
 
Ukraine but
 
also
tensions in the banking sector
 
in the United States
 
of America and Europe
 
at the beginning of the
 
year, as
well as
 
the situation
 
in the
 
Middle-East
 
at the
 
end of
 
the year.
 
Monetary
 
policies
 
were clearly
 
restrictive.
Focusing on inflation control, central banks increased interest
 
rates rapidly and significantly.
In the euro area:
◾
the slowdown in economic activity observed during the first half of 2023 continued and was accentuated
during the second half of the year;
◾
inflation remained
 
high in
 
2023; it
 
is expected
 
to drop
 
down to
 
around 3%
 
in 2024
 
and fall
 
back to
 
the
target in the mid-term.
In the
 
U.S.,
 
the
 
economy
 
performed
 
better
 
than
 
expected
 
by
 
most forecasters.
 
Warning
 
signs
 
point to
 
a
sharper slowdown already apparent towards the end of
 
the year.
 
In this context, the Société Générale
 
Luxembourg Group updated the macroeconomic scenarios chosen for
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
MACROECONOMIC SCENARIOS
 
SG Luxembourg Group approach relies
 
on the Société Générale Group’s modelizations
 
for macroeconomic
scenario and analysis of activities.
The details of
 
evolutions to
 
macroeconomic scenarios
 
and their impacts
 
on calculation of
 
Expected Credit
Losses (ECL) under IFRS 9 are presented below.
As at
 
31 December
 
2023, the
 
Société Générale
 
Group
 
selected
 
three
 
macroeconomic
 
scenarios
 
to
 
help
understand the uncertainties related to the current macroeconomic
 
context.
 
The assumptions selected to build these scenarios are described
 
below:
 
◾
The central scenario
 
(“SG Central”) predicts
 
a continuing
 
economic slowdown in
 
the euro area
 
in 2024
with only
 
a modest
 
rebound
 
in 2025.
 
The fall
 
in inflation,
 
around 2,5%,
 
will be
 
accompanied by
 
an in-
crease in
 
the
 
unemployment
 
rate. The
 
ECB would
 
lower its
 
interest rates
 
starting in
 
Spring 2024,
 
but
would continue scaling
 
down its balance
 
sheet at least
 
until 2025 (reducing
 
its direct purchases
 
on the
market). It
 
is expected
 
that in
 
the U.S.A,
 
too, economic
 
growth shall
 
decelerate in
 
2024, interest
 
rates
shall decrease and inflation shall remain on a downward
 
trend while the unemployment rate increases;
◾
the favourable scenario (“SG
 
Favourable”) describes an accelerated
 
economic growth compared to
 
the
trajectory projected in
 
the central scenario;
 
this growth may
 
result from improved
 
supply conditions owing
to a
 
positive
 
shock on
 
productivity
 
or from
 
unexpectedly
 
improved
 
demand conditions.
 
In both
 
cases,
stronger growth will have a positive impact on employment
 
and the profitability of companies;

◾
the stressed
 
scenario (“SG
 
Stress”) corresponds
 
to a
 
crisis situation
 
leading to
 
a negative
 
deviation in
GDP compared to the central scenario. This scenario may result from
 
a financial crisis (2008 crisis, euro
area crisis…), an exogenous crisis (Covid-19-like pandemic)
 
or a combination of both.
 
These scenarios are developed by the Société Générale Economic
 
and Sector Research Division for all
the entities in the Société Générale Group based, in particular,
 
on the information published by the statisti-
cal institutes in each country.
 
Institutional forecasts produced
 
by organisations like the IMF,
 
the World Bank, the ECB and the OECD
and the consensus among market economists serve
 
as a reference to challenge the Société Générale
Group’s forecasts.
The scenarios
 
provided by
 
the Société
 
Générale Group economists
 
are incorporated into
 
the expected
 
credit
loss provisioning models over a three-year horizon, followed by a two-year period to gradually return by the
fifth year to the average probability of default observed
 
during the calibration period.
 
The assumptions
 
made by
 
the Société
 
Générale
 
Group with
 
a view
 
to developing
 
these macroeconomic
scenarios have been updated
 
during the fourth quarter
 
2023 to account for
 
uncertainties about the macro-
economic context.
VARIABLES
The GDP growth rate, the profit margin of companies in
 
France, the unemployment rates, the inflation rate
in France and the yield on France 10-year government
 
bonds are the main variables used in the expected
credit losses measurement models.
 
The variables with the stronger impact on the determination
 
of expected credit losses (GDP growth per-
centage for the major countries in which the Société Générale
 
Group operates and profit margin of busi-
nesses in France) for each scenario are detailed hereinafter:

unchanged.
 
In

the GDP
 
forecasts in

area used
 
by the
 
Société Générale
 
Group for
each scenario with the scenarios published by the ECB in December
 
2023.
WEIGHTING OF THE MACROECONOMIC SCENARIOS
The probabilities used are based on the differences
 
observed over the past 25 years between the fore-
casts made by a consensus of economists regarding the
 
US GDP and the actual scenario that occurred
(forecast similar to the actual scenario, significantly optimistic
 
or pessimistic).
In order to better account for a possible reversal in the cycle,
 
the Société Générale Group applies to its
scenarios a weighting methodology (mainly based on the observed
 
output gaps for the USA and the euro
area) and assigns a higher weight to the SG Central scenario
 
when the economy is depressed. Conver-
sely, the methodology
 
provides for a higher weight to be assigned to the
 
SG Stress scenario when the
economy moves towards the peak of the cycle. Accordingly,
 
the weighting applied to the SG Central sce-
nario is set at 62% as at 31 December 2023.

In 2023,
 
the Société
 
Générale Group
 
revised the
 
parameters used
 
in the
 
models based
 
on the
 
based on
the updated macroeconomic
 
scenarios which take account
 
of the recent economic
 
developments and ma-
croeconomic impacts related to the current geopolitical
 
environment.
 
To
 
account
 
for
 
the
 
uncertainties
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
macroeconomic
 
and
 
geopolitical
 
environment,
 
the
 
Group
updated the model and post-model adjustments in 2023.
The effects of these adjustments in the determination
 
of expected credit losses are described hereinafter.
ADJUSTMENTS SUPPLEMENTING THE APPLICATION OF MODELS
As of 31
 
December 2023, the
 
adjustment regarding the
 
additional criterion for
 
classification in
 
Stage 2 set
in 2020 for the Société Générale Group following the Covid
 
-19 crisis has been removed.
Sectoral adjustments
The Société Générale Group may supplement the models with sectoral adjustments relating
 
to the possible
revision of the expected credit
 
loss estimates (with no impact
 
on the stage classification
 
of the outstanding
loans) for some sectors.
These adjustments
 
allow for
 
better anticipation
 
of the
 
default/recovery
 
cycle in
 
some sectors
 
that have
 
a
cyclical business, have been
 
subject to peaks
 
of default in
 
the past or
 
are most exposed
 
to the current
 
crises
and on
 
which the
 
Société Générale
 
Group’s exposure
 
exceeds a
 
threshold that
 
is annually
 
reviewed and
set by the Risk Division.
 
These sectoral adjustments are examined and updated quarterly by
 
the Risk Division and validated accord-
ing to materiality thresholds by Société Générale Group Management.
The main relevant
 
sectors as
 
at 31 December
 
2023 are ‘Mining
 
industry’, ‘Hotels,restaurants
 
and gaming’
and ‘Metallurgy and steel production’.
 
The total sectoral
 
adjustments amount
 
to EUR
 
2,7 million
 
as of December
 
31, 2023 (December
 
31, 2022:
EUR 2,2 million).
Specific adjustments
For
 
Russian
 
Corporate
 
Investment
 
banking
 
clients,
 
a
 
specific
 
adjustment
 
has
 
been
 
computed
 
based
 
on
multi-scenarios approach.
-
Business as usual scenario
 
(probable to 30% vs. 2022 35%): PD and LGD remain
 
unchanged.
 
-
Intermediate
 
scenario
 
(probable
 
to
 
40%
 
same
 
as
 
2022):
 
deepening
 
of
 
the
 
crisis.
 
The
 
average
rating of
 
the portfolio decreases
 
to 7-
 
. LGDs
 
are downgraded, especially
 
as financing is
 
less secure.
This scenario is considered to have a high probability.
-
Extreme
 
scenario
 
(probable
 
to
 
30%
 
vs.
 
2022
 
25%):
 
default
 
by
 
all
 
counterparties.
 
LGD
 
down-
graded. Off-balance sheet transactions are considered
 
as eligible for drawdown.
 
In 2023,
 
on Corporate
 
and
 
Investment banking
 
perimeter,
 
this overlay,
 
impacting
 
stage 2,
 
is designed
 
to
take into account the specific risk on the offshore credit portfolio
 
for Russian clients, corporates and banks.
These clients
 
are subject
 
to a
 
specific risk
 
of default,
 
due to sanctions
 
(particularly in
 
the event
 
of an
 
em-
bargo), or,
 
in the worst case
 
scenario, the consequences
 
of a breakdown in
 
relations between Russia
 
and
Europe. In the event of default,
 
recovery could be subject to specific
 
difficulties due to the geopolitical
 
con-
text.
In 2023, on Private Banking perimeter, the Société Générale Group decided to maintain the specific adjust-
ment on the offshore credit portfolio to Russian clients (out of sanctioned or restricted PEP counterparties).

All the exposures related to corporates counterparties (138 million

terparties) or in stage 3 (1 counterparty).
 
On the Private Banking perimeter,
 
as the exposures are fully collateralized
 
by real estate or financial colla-
terals, a case-by-case analysis has been performed to
 
identify “sensitive” counterparties.
CALCULATION OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
The main evolution that occurred over the year at SG Luxembourg
 
Group level is the decrease in the
amount of Russian exposures leading to provision reversal.
Based on the scenarios and weightings mentioned above, and
 
after taking into account the methodo-logi-
cal adjustments, the calculation of expected credit losses
 
led SG Luxembourg Group to record a Net Cost
of Risk reversal of EUR 92,36 million (without insurance activity)
 
as of December 31, 2023.

INTEREST RATE BENCHMARK
 
REFORM – IBOR REFORM
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 7, IAS 39 AND IFRS 9 IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INTEREST RATE BENCHMARK RE-
FORM (“IBOR REFORM”)
 
Issued by the IASB on August 27, 2020 and adopted by
 
the European Union on January 14, 2021.
In the
 
context of
 
the interest
 
rate reform
 
or IBOR
 
reform, the
 
accounting standards
 
applicable have
 
been
amended by
 
the IASB. The
 
first amendments,
 
with objective
 
to enable
 
the continued
 
application of
 
hedge
accounting treatments, were implemented by the Group
 
since December 31, 2019.
The second phase
 
of these
 
amendments introduced
 
by the
 
IASB regards
 
the treatment
 
of the changes
 
in
financial instruments contracts in the framework of the IBOR reform and were early-applied by the Group in
its financial statements as at December 31, 2020.
 
In view of the arrangements introduced by the amendments of IBOR – Phase 2, the changes in contractual
cash flows expected for this rate transition should not generate any significant effect on the Group’s conso-
lidated
 
financial
 
statements.
 
In
 
fact,
 
the
 
Group,
 
following
 
the
 
recommendations
 
issued
 
by
 
the
 
regulatory
authorities and local
 
working groups
 
on rate reform,
 
migrates the contracts
 
with an IBOR
 
index, as a
 
ben-
chmark, on an economically
 
equivalent basis. This usually
 
results in the replacement
 
of the historical refe-
rence rate by an alternative
 
reference rate to which is added a
 
fixed spread compensating the interest
 
rate
differential between these two rates.
Accounting treatments were
 
presented in 2021
 
financial statements
 
and remaining impact
 
in 2023 was
 
on
USD contracts due to migration in June 2023.
Impact of the reform for Societe Générale Luxembourg
 
Group
The Société Générale Luxembourg Group relied on the
 
Société Générale Group specific program to pre-
pare for the changes. The program was set-up in summer
 
2018 and supervised by the Finance Division at
Société Générale Group level.
To
 
prepare for the announced cessation dates of LIBOR
 
and other transitioning benchmarks, the public
authorities and the working groups set up by the central banks
 
issued recommendations to the banking
industry.
 
To
 
ensure a consistent approach throughout the Societe
 
Generale group, several internal guidelines have
been issued covering four main themes:
◾
strengthening of new contracts through the inclusion of
 
fallback clauses and risk warnings;
◾
cessation of
 
the
 
production
 
of new
 
transactions
 
referencing
 
benchmarks
 
and
 
use of
 
alternative solu-
tions;
◾
fair and homogenous treatment
 
of customers in contracts’
 
renegotiations with the
 
involvement of com-
pliance teams;
◾
reporting obligation, and restrictions related to the use of certain
 
interest rates.
All directives are being applied and widely circulated among the
 
Société Générale Group’s staff.

In order
 
to build
 
the capacity
 
to deal
 
on products
 
referencing
 
RFRs
 
and thus
 
ensure
 
the continuity
 
of its
business after the
 
phasing out of
 
IBOR, the
 
Group SG updated
 
its tools
 
and processes. Moreover, the
 
Group
continues monitoring developments in the use of RFRs rates
 
in order to meet its customers’ needs.
Migration of the USD LIBOR
The interest rate benchmark market reform is now complete. At the end of October 2023, Société Générale
Luxembourg completed
 
100% of
 
the Group’s
 
project through
 
liquidation of
 
part of the
 
remaining contracts
or
 
legal migration of contracts on indices discontinued
 
as of 30 June 2023.
 
Risks associated with the benchmark rate reform
All the risks identified in the context of the transition are,
 
today, no longer
 
relevant:
-
Program governance
 
and
 
execution risk:
 
the IBOR
 
Transition
 
program
 
is now
 
closed, and
 
its budget
has been fully financed;
-
Legal
 
documentation
 
risk:
 
templates
 
for
 
fallback
 
clauses
 
are
 
made
 
available
 
by
 
market
 
associations
(ISDA, LMA,
 
etc.) or
 
are available
 
within the
 
Group when
 
there is
 
no market
 
standard templates.
 
Ne-
vertheless, the
 
contractual
 
documentation
 
may need
 
to be
 
adapted to
 
the specificities
 
of new
 
cessa-
tions;
-
Market risk:
 
since benchmark
 
cessations for
 
the followed
 
rates have
 
already happened,
 
this risk
 
has
disappeared;
 
-
Operational
 
risks
 
in
 
the
 
execution
 
of
 
transactions’
 
migration:
 
all
 
mass
 
migrations
 
have
 
already
 
been
completed;
-
Regulatory risk: all
 
of the Group’s guidelines
 
related to ceasing and
 
alternative interest rate benchmarks
have been set up and disseminated in the Group’s
 
business lines;
 
-
Conduct risk: with all negotiations finalised, this risk has
 
disappeared.

NOTE 2 – CONSOLIDATION
MAKING
IT
SIMPLE
The
 
various
 
activities
 
of
 
the
 
Société
 
Générale
 
Luxembourg
 
Group
 
in
 
Luxembourg
 
and
abroad are carried out by Société Générale Luxembourg
 
– Parent company and by all of
the entities that
 
it controls either
 
directly or indirectly
 
(subsidiaries) or on
 
which it exercises
significant
 
influence
 
(associates).
 
All
 
of these
 
entities
 
make up
 
the scope
 
of the
 
Group
consolidation.
Consolidation uses
 
a standardized
 
accounting process
 
to give
 
an aggregated
 
presenta-
tion of the accounts of Société
 
Générale Luxembourg – Parent
 
company and its subsidi-
aries, associates, presented as if they were a single entity.
To
 
do so, the
 
individual accounts
 
of the entities
 
that make up
 
the Group are
 
restated so
that they
 
are in
 
accordance
 
with IFRS,
 
as adopted
 
by
 
the European
 
Union,
 
in
 
order
 
to
present consistent information in the consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the
 
accounting balances
 
(assets, liabilities,
 
income and expense)
 
generated
by transactions between Group entities are
 
eliminated through the consolidation process
so
 
that
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
present
 
only
 
the
 
operations
 
and
 
results
made with third parties outside of the Group.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated financial statements
 
of Société Générale Luxembourg
 
include the financial statements
of the parent company and
 
the main Luxembourg and foreign
 
companies over which the Group exercises
control
 
or
 
significant
 
influence.
 
There
 
was
 
no
 
entity
 
jointly
 
controlled
 
as
 
of
 
December
 
31,
 
2023
 
and
 
December 31, 2022.
CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
◾
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are the
 
entities over
 
which the Group
 
has exclusive control.
 
The Group controls
 
an entity if
and only if the three following conditions are met :
-
the Group has
 
power over
 
the entity (ability
 
to direct its
 
relevant activities, i.e.
 
the activities
 
that sig-
nificantly affect the entity’s returns), through
 
the holding of voting rights or other rights; and
-
the Group has exposure or rights to variable returns from
 
its involvement with the entity; and
-
the Group has the ability to use its power over the entity
 
to affect the amount of the Group’s returns.
◾
Power
When determining voting
 
rights for
 
the purpose of
 
establishing the Group’s
 
degree of control
 
over an entity
and the appropriate consolidation methods, potential voting rights
 
are taken into account where they can
be freely exercised at the
 
time the assessment is made or
 
at the latest when decisions
 
about the direction
of the relevant activities need to
 
be made. Potential voting rights are
 
instruments such as call options
 
on
ordinary shares outstanding on the market or rights to convert
 
bonds into new ordinary shares.
When voting rights are not relevant to determine whether or not the Group controls an entity, the assess-
ment of this control shall consider all the facts and circumstances, including the existence of one or more
contractual arrangements.
 
Power over
 
an investee
 
exists only
 
if the investor
 
has substantive
 
rights that
give it the current ability to direct relevant activities without
 
barriers.
Some rights are
 
designed to protect the
 
interests of their
 
holder (protective rights) without
 
giving that party
power over the investee to which those rights relate.
 
 
 
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023

If
 
several
 
investors
 
each
 
have
 
substantive
 
rights
 
that
 
give
 
them
 
the
 
unilateral
 
ability
 
to
 
direct
 
different
relevant
 
activities,
 
the
 
investor
 
that
 
has
 
the
 
current
 
ability
 
to
 
direct
 
the
 
activities
 
that
 
most
 
significantly
affect the variable returns of the investee is
 
presumed to have power over the investee.
◾
Exposure to variable return
Control exists only if the
 
Group is significantly exposed
 
to the variability of variable
 
returns generated by
its investment or its
 
involvement in the entity. These returns, which
 
could be dividends, interest, fees,
 
etc.,
can be only positive, only negative or both positive and
 
negative.
◾
Link between power and variable returns
To assess the link between power and variable returns, if
 
the Group has been delegated decision-making
rights that it
 
exercises on behalf
 
and for the
 
benefit of
 
third parties (the
 
principals), it is
 
presumed to
 
act
as an agent for these principals, and therefore it does not
 
control the entity when it exercises its decision-
making
 
power.
 
In
 
asset
 
management
 
activities,
 
an
 
analysis
 
shall
 
be
 
performed
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
determine
whether the asset
 
manager is
 
acting as
 
agent or principal
 
when managing
 
the net assets
 
of a fund;
 
the
fund is presumed to be controlled by the asset manager if the
 
latter is considered as a principal.
◾
Special case of structured entities
A structured entity is an entity that
 
has been designed so that voting or
 
similar rights are not the dominant
factor in deciding who
 
controls the entity.
 
Such is the case,
 
for example, when the
 
relevant activities are
directed by means of contractual arrangements.
A structured entity often
 
presents certain characteristics such as
 
a limited business activity, a specific and
carefully defined
 
purpose,
 
or insufficient
 
capital to
 
fund
 
its activities
 
without the
 
use of
 
subordinated
 
fi-
nancing. Structured entities may assume different legal forms: stock companies, partnerships, securitisa-
tion vehicles, mutual funds, unincorporated entities, etc.
 
When assessing
 
the
 
existence
 
of control
 
over
 
a structured
 
entity,
 
all facts
 
and
 
circumstances
 
shall be
considered among which :
◾
▪
 
the
 
purpose
 
and
 
design
 
of
 
the
 
entity;
◾
▪
 
the
 
structuring
 
of
 
the
 
entity;
◾
▪
 
risks
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
entity
 
is
 
exposed
 
by
 
way
 
of
 
its
 
design
 
and
 
the
 
Group’s
 
exposure
 
to
 
some
 
or
 
all
 
of
these risks;
◾
▪
 
potential
 
returns
 
and
 
benefits
 
for
 
the
 
Group.
Unconsolidated structured entities are those
 
that are not exclusively
 
controlled by the Group. Please
 
refer
to Note 2.5.
◾
Joint arrangements
Through a joint arrangement
 
(either a joint operation
 
or a joint venture) the
 
Group exercises joint control
over an
 
entity if
 
decisions about
 
the direction
 
of its
 
relevant activities
 
require the
 
unanimous consent
 
of
the parties that collectively control the entity. Assessing joint control requires an analysis of
 
the rights and
obligations of all the parties. In the case of a joint operation, the parties to the arrangement have rights to
the assets and obligations for the liabilities.
In the case
 
of a joint
 
venture, the parties
 
have rights to
 
the net assets
 
of the entity.
 
As at December
 
31,
2023 and 2022, the Group holds no interest in joint arrangements.

Associates
Associates are
 
companies
 
over which
 
the Group
 
exercises
 
significant influence
 
and are
 
accounted
 
for
using
 
the
 
equity
 
method
 
in
 
the

Significant
 
influence
 
is
 
the
power to participate
 
in the financial

of an entity
 
without exercising control.
 
In par-

from its involvement
 
in strategic decisions,
 
from the
 
existence of significant
 
inter-
company transactions, from the

CONSOLIDATION RULES
 
AND METHODS
The consolidated
 
financial
 
statements are
 
built up
 
from the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of the
 
entities that
 
are
included in the
 
consolidation scope. All significant
 
balances, profits and
 
transactions between Group com-
panies are eliminated.
The results of newly acquired subsidiaries
 
are included in the consolidated financial statements
 
from the
date the
 
acquisition
 
became effective
 
and results
 
of subsidiaries
 
disposed of
 
during the
 
fiscal year
 
are
included up to the date where the Group relinquished control.
◾
Consolidation methods
The subsidiaries,
 
including the
 
structured entities
 
over which
 
the Group
 
has exclusive
 
control, are
 
fully
consolidated.
In the consolidated statement of financial position, full consolidation consists in replacing the value of the
subsidiary’s
 
equity
 
securities
 
held
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
with
 
each
 
of
 
the
 
subsidiary’s
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities,
 
in
addition to the goodwill recognised when the Group assumed control
 
over the entity.
In the
 
consolidated income
 
statement and
 
the statement
 
of comprehensive
 
income the
 
subsidiary’s
 
ex-
pense and income items are aggregated with those of
 
the Group.
The share of non-controlling interests in the subsidiary is presented separately in the Consolidated state-
ment
 
of
 
financial
 
position,
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
income
 
statement
 
and
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
statement
 
of
 
net
income and unrealised or deferred gains and losses.
 
Associates
 
and
 
joint
 
ventures
 
are
 
accounted
 
for
 
using
 
the
 
equity
 
method
 
in
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
statements of the Group. Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in
 
an associate is
recognised under
 
Investments accounted
 
for using
 
the equity
 
method at
 
the cost
 
of the Group’s
 
invest-
ment in the
 
associate, including goodwill and
 
after the date
 
of acquisition the
 
carrying amount is increased
or decreased to recognise the changes in the investor’s share in the
 
net asset value of the investee.
 
These investments are tested for impairment if there is objective evidence of impairment. If the recovera-
ble amount
 
of the
 
investment (value
 
in use
 
or market
 
value net
 
of selling
 
costs, whichever
 
is higher)
 
is
lower than
 
its carrying
 
amount, an
 
impairment loss
 
is recorded
 
on the
 
statement of
 
financial position
 
at
the
 
carrying
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
investment.
 
Impairment
 
allowances
 
and
 
reversals
 
are
 
recorded
 
under
 
Net
income from investments accounted for using the equity
 
method.
The Group’s share in the entity’s net income and unrealised or deferred gains
 
and losses is presented on
separate lines
 
in the consolidated
 
income statement
 
and the
 
consolidated statement
 
of net
 
income and
unrealised or deferred gains and losses. If the Group’s share in
 
the losses of an entity consolidated using
the equity
 
method becomes
 
greater than
 
or equal
 
to
 
its ownership
 
interest in
 
the
 
company,
 
the Group

ceases
 
to
 
recognise
 
its
 
share
 
in
 
subsequent
 
losses
 
unless
 
it
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
do
 
so
 
by
 
legal
 
or
 
implied
obligations, in which case it records a provision for said losses.
Capital gains and losses generated on
 
disposal of subsidiaries and of companies accounted
 
for using the
equity method are recorded under Net income/expense from other
 
assets.
◾
Translation of foreign entity
 
financial statements
The balance
 
sheet
 
items
 
of
 
consolidated
 
companies
 
reporting
 
in
 
foreign currencies
 
are translated
 
into
Euro at the
 
official exchange
 
rates prevailing at
 
the closing date.
 
Income statement items
 
of these com-
panies
 
are
 
translated
 
into
 
euros,
 
at
 
the
 
average
 
month-end
 
exchange
 
rates.
 
Gains
 
and
 
losses
 
arising
from the translation
 
of capital, reserves, retained
 
earnings and income
 
are recognised under
 
Unrealised
or deferred gains and losses – Translation
 
differences.
 
On
 
disposal
 
of
 
a
 
foreign
 
entity,
 
such
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
differences
 
are
 
recognized
 
in
 
the
 
consolidated
income statement as part of the gain or loss upon disposal. Initial consolidation differences and fair value
adjustments
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
acquisition
 
of
 
a
 
foreign
 
entity
 
are
 
treated
 
as
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
of
 
the
foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange
 
rate.

INFORMATION ON UNCONSOLIDATED
 
STRUCTURED ENTITIES SPONSORED BY THE
GROUP
The Group may have no ownership
 
interest in a structured entity,
 
but still be considered as a sponsor of
this structured entity if it acts or has acted as:
◾
a structure;
◾
an originator for potential investors;
◾
an asset manager;
◾
an implicit or explicit guarantor of
 
the entity’s performance (in particular via capital or
 
return guar-
antees granted to mutual fund unit holders).
A
structured entity is also considered to be sponsored
 
by the Group if its name includes the name
 
of the
Group or
 
the name
 
of one
 
of its
 
subsidiaries. Conversely,
 
entities that
 
are structured
 
by the
 
Group ac-
cording to specific
 
needs expressed by
 
one or more
 
customers or investors
 
are considered to
 
be spon-
sored by said customers or investors.
In 2023, no significant revenue has been recognised for
 
these structured entities.

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
 
MAKING
 
IT
 
SIMPLE
The financial
 
instruments represent
 
the contractual
 
rights or
 
obligations to
 
receive or
 
to
pay cash or other
 
financial assets. The Group’s banking activities generally take
 
the form
of financial instruments
 
covering a broad
 
spectrum of assets
 
and liabilities, such
 
as loans,
investment portfolios (equity, bonds, etc.), deposits, debt securities issued
 
and derivative
instruments (swaps, options, forward contracts, credit derivatives,
 
etc.).
 
In the financial statements, the classification
 
and valuation of financial assets
 
and liabili-
ties depends
 
on their
 
contractual characteristics
 
and the
 
way the
 
entity manages
 
those
financial instruments.
However,
 
this
 
distinction
 
is
 
not
 
applicable
 
to
 
derivative
 
instruments,
 
which
 
are
 
always
measured at fair value
 
in the statement of
 
financial position, no matter what
 
their purpose
is (market activities or hedging transactions).
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Accounting principles presented
 
in this Note
 
3 are applied
 
as from January
 
1, 2018 according
 
to the IFRS
9 provisions excluding
 
insurance activities (see
 
Note 4.3), and
 
hedge accounting, which
 
is applied according
to IAS 39 (see Note 3.3.).
CASH DUE FROM CENTRAL BANKS
Cash and cash equivalents
 
are Cash consists primarily
 
of cash balances, debit
 
balances outstanding from
the current account and the mandatory minimum reserve
 
with the Central Bank of Luxembourg.
The funds for the minimum reserves are
 
not available for financing the current operations of
 
the Group. The
reserve base,
 
calculated monthly, is based
 
on balance sheet
 
items in
 
accordance with accounting
 
principles.
The baseline
 
calculation,
 
which determines
 
the reserve
 
requirement,
 
is performed
 
by the
 
central
 
bank of
Luxembourg.
CLASSIFICATION OF
 
FINANCIAL ASSETS
At initial recognition, financial
 
instruments are classified
 
in the Group statement
 
of financial position
 
in one
of three
 
categories (amortised
 
cost, fair
 
value through
 
profit or
 
loss, and
 
fair value
 
through other
 
compre-
hensive income)
 
that determines
 
their accounting
 
treatment and
 
subsequent measurement
 
method. Clas-
sification is based on their contractual cash flow characteristics and the entity’s
 
business model for manag-
ing the assets.

The accounting principles
 
for classifying financial
 
assets require the
 
entity to analyse
 
the contractual cash
flows generated by the financial
 
instruments and to analyse the
 
business model for managing
 
the financial
instruments.
 
Analysis of contractual cash flow characteristics
 
The
 
aim
 
of
 
the
 
analysis
 
of
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flow
 
characteristics
 
is
 
to
 
limit
 
exclusively
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
revenues from financial assets using the effective interest
 
method to the instruments whose characteristics
are similar to those of a basic lending arrangement, meaning their associated cash flows are highly predict-
able.
 
All
 
other
 
financial
 
instruments
 
that
 
do
 
not
 
share
 
these
 
characteristics
 
are
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value
through profit or loss, regardless of the business model
 
used to manage them.
 
Contractual cash flow
 
that represent
 
solely payments of
 
principal and
 
interest (SPPI) on
 
the principal
 
amount
outstanding are consistent with a basic lending arrangement.
 
In
 
a
 
basic
 
lending
 
arrangement,
 
interest
 
predominantly
 
consists
 
of
 
a
 
consideration
 
for
 
the
 
time
 
value
 
of
money and
 
for credit
 
risk. Interest
 
may also
 
include a
 
consideration for
 
liquidity risk,
 
administrative costs,
and a commercial profit margin. Negative interest is not
 
inconsistent with this definition.
 
All financial
 
assets that
 
are not
 
basic will
 
be mandatorily
 
measured at
 
fair value
 
through profit
 
or loss,
 
re-
gardless of the business model for managing them.
 
The Group can
 
make the irrevocable
 
decision, on a
 
security-by-security basis,
 
to classify and
 
measure an
investment in an equity instrument (shares and
 
other equity securities) that is not held for trading
 
purposes
at fair
 
value
 
through
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income.
 
Subsequently,
 
the
 
profit
 
or loss
 
accumulated
 
in other
comprehensive income
 
will never be
 
reclassified into
 
profit or loss
 
(only dividends
 
from those investments
will be recognised as income).

The business model represents how the financial instruments are managed in order to generate cash flows
and
 
income.
 
The
 
Group
 
uses
 
several
 
business
 
models
 
in
 
the
 
course
 
of
 
exercising
 
its
 
different
 
business
lines.
 
Business
 
models
 
are
 
assessed
 
on
 
how
 
groups
 
of
 
financial
 
instruments
 
are
 
managed
 
together
 
to
achieve a
 
particular business objective.
 
The business
 
model is
 
not assessed on
 
an instrument-by-instrument
basis, but at a portfolio level, considering relevant evidence
 
such as:
◾
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported
 
to the Group’s management;
◾
how risks related to financial instruments within that business
 
model are managed;
◾
how managers of the business are compensated;
◾
sales of assets realised or expected (value, frequency,
 
purpose).
To
 
determine the classification and
 
measurement of financial assets,
 
three different business
 
models shall
be distinguished:
 
◾
a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash
 
flows (“Collect” business model);
◾
a business
 
model whose
 
objective is
 
achieved by
 
both collecting
 
contractual cash
 
flows and
 
selling fi-
nancial assets (“Collect and Sell” business model);
◾
and a separate business
 
model for other financial
 
assets, especially those
 
that are held for
 
trading pur-
poses, where collecting contractual cash flows is only incidental.
Fair value option
SPPI financial assets that
 
are not held for
 
trading purposes can
 
be designated, at
 
initial recognition, at fair
value through
 
profit or
 
loss if
 
such designation
 
eliminates or
 
significantly reduces
 
discrepancies in
 
the ac-
counting treatment of related financial assets and liabilities
 
(accounting mismatch).
CLASSIFICATION OF
 
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Financial liabilities are classified into one of the following
 
two categories:
 
◾
Financial liabilities
 
at fair
 
value through
 
profit or
 
loss: these
 
are financial
 
liabilities held
 
for trading
 
pur-
poses, which by
 
default include
 
derivative financial
 
liabilities not qualifying
 
as hedging
 
instruments and
non-derivative financial liabilities designated by the Group upon initial recognition to be measured at fair
value through profit or loss using the fair value option;
 
◾
Debts: these include the other non-derivative financial
 
liabilities and are measured at amortised cost.
 
Derivative financial assets and liabilities qualifying as
 
hedging instruments are presented on separate lines
of the statement of financial position (see Note 3.3).
 
RECLASSIFICATION
 
OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
 
Reclassification of
 
financial assets
 
are only
 
required in
 
the exceptional
 
event that
 
the Group
 
changes the
business model used to manage these assets.
 
These reclassifications are applied prospectively (no restatement of previously recognised profits, losses
 
or
interests).
FAIR VALUE
Fair
 
value
 
is
 
the
 
price
 
that
 
would
 
be
 
received
 
to
 
sell
 
an
 
asset
 
or
 
paid
 
to
 
transfer
 
a
 
liability
 
in
 
an
 
orderly
transaction
 
between
 
market
 
participants
 
at
 
the
 
measurement
 
date.
 
The
 
valuation
 
methods
 
used
 
by
 
the
Group to establish the fair value of financial instruments
 
are detailed in Note 3.5.
 
INITIAL RECOGNITION
 
 
 
 
 
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023
74
Purchases and sales of financial
 
assets recorded under Financial
 
assets at fair value through
 
profit or loss
and Financial assets at
 
fair value through other
 
comprehensive income are
 
recognised in the
 
statement of
financial position
 
at the
 
delivery-settlement
 
date. Changes
 
in fair
 
value between
 
the trade
 
and settlement
dates are recorded in the income
 
statement or booked to shareholders’ equity depending on the
 
accounting
category of the relevant
 
financial assets. Loans, receivables
 
and securities at
 
amortised cost are recorded
in statement of financial position on the date they are paid or at the maturity date for invoiced services. The
trade date is the
 
date on which the
 
contractual commitment becomes binding and irrevocable for
 
the Group.
When
 
initially
 
recognised,
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
are
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
including
 
transaction
costs directly attributable to their acquisition or
 
issuance, except for financial instruments recognised
 
at fair
value through profit or loss, for which these costs are booked
 
directly to the income statement.
The fair value of structural notes and warrants
 
is defined according to models or limited
 
observable market
data, and
 
the sales
 
margin is
 
recognised at
 
Société Générale’s
 
level as
 
it assumes
 
the role
 
of agent
 
and
absorbs the initial sales margin.
 
des
DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Group
 
derecognises
 
all or
 
part of
 
a financial
 
asset
 
(or group
 
of similar
 
assets)
 
when the
 
contractual
rights
 
to
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
on
 
the
 
asset
 
expire
 
or
 
when
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
transferred
 
the
 
contractual
 
rights
 
to
receive the cash flows and substantially all of the risks and rewards
 
linked to ownership
 
of the asset.
The Group also derecognises financial
 
assets over which it has retained
 
the contractual rights to the asso-
ciated cash
 
flows but
 
is contractually obligated
 
to pass
 
these same cash
 
flows through to
 
a third
 
party (“pass-
through
 
agreement”)
 
and
 
for
 
which
 
it
 
has
 
transferred
 
substantially
 
all
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards.
 
Where
 
the
Group has transferred the
 
cash flows of a
 
financial asset but
 
has neither transferred
 
nor retained substan-
tially all the risks and rewards of its ownership and has effectively not retained control of the
 
financial asset,
the Group derecognises it and, where necessary, recognises a separate asset or
 
liability to cover any rights
and obligations
 
created or
 
retained as
 
a result
 
of the
 
asset’s transfer.
 
If the
 
Group has
 
retained control
 
of
the asset,
 
it continues
 
to recognise
 
it
 
in the
 
statement
 
of financial
 
position
 
to the
 
extent
 
of its
 
continuing
involvement in that asset.
 
When a financial
 
asset is derecognised
 
in its entirety,
 
a gain or loss
 
on disposal is
 
recorded in the
 
income
statement for an
 
amount equal to
 
the difference
 
between the carrying
 
value of the
 
asset and the
 
payment
received for it,
 
adjusted where necessary
 
for any unrealised
 
profit or loss
 
previously recognised
 
directly in
equity and for the value of any servicing asset or servicing liability. Indemnities billed to borrowers following
the prepayment of their loan are recorded in the income statement
 
on the prepayment date among Interest
and similar income.
The Group
 
derecognises all
 
or part
 
of a
 
financial liability
 
when it
 
is extinguished,
 
i.e. when
 
the obligation
specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
A
financial
 
liability
 
may
 
also
 
be
 
derecognised
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
substantial
 
amendment
 
to
 
its
 
contractual
conditions or
 
where an
 
exchange is
 
made with
 
the lender
 
for an
 
instrument whose
 
contractual conditions
are substantially different. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial
 
liability and the
consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

(government or

Contractual terms that would introduce exposure
 
to risks or volatility in
 
the contractual cash flows, unrelated
to a basic lending arrangement (such
 
as exposure to changes in equity
 
prices or stock indexes for instance,
or leverage features), could not be
 
considered as being SPPI, except
 
if their effect on the
 
contractual cash
flows remains minimum.
 
Non-basic financial assets (non-SPPI) mainly include:
◾
derivative instruments,
◾
shares and other equity instruments held by the entity,
◾
debt financial assets that can be converted or redeemed into a fixed number of shares
(convertible bonds, equity-linked securities, etc.).
The basic financial assets (SPPI) held
 
by the Group include instruments financing sustainable development
projects (ESG labelled) in the form of Sustainability-linked
 
loans.
 
The Non-basic financial assets (non-SPPI) include structured instruments the flows of which are indexed in
full or in part on ESG related ratios (carbon emissions,
 
or other ESG related Key Performance Indicators).
 
Impact loans
 
have been
 
granted by
 
the Group
 
to support
 
the enterprises’
 
sustainability approach
 
through
an incentive mechanism that reviews the margin according to ESG criteria specific to the borrower or to the
achievement
 
by
 
the
 
latter
 
of
 
sustainable
 
development
 
goals
 
(Sustainability-linked
 
loans).
 
An
 
analysis
 
of
these loans has allowed
 
them to qualify as
 
basic financial assets (SPPI)
 
provided that their flows
 
meet the
Group internally
 
defined de
 
minimis criterion
 
as well
 
as the
 
other SPPI
 
criteria. This
 
criterion is
 
consistent
with the Société Générale Group approach for ESG related loans, specifically the loans presenting a remu-
neration indexed
 
on ESG
 
related ratios.
 
The criterion
 
consists in
 
reviewing and
 
assessing the
 
ratio repre-
sented by the remuneration variation
 
related to the compliance with
 
some ESG ratios and ensure
 
this ratio
remains below the Société Générale Group internal threshold.
 
When the time value component of interest can be
 
modified according to the contractual term
 
of the instru-
ment, it may be necessary
 
to compare the contractual cash
 
flow with the cash flow
 
that would arise from a
benchmark
 
instrument.
 
For
 
instance,
 
that
 
is
 
the
 
case
 
when
 
an
 
interest
 
rate
 
is
 
periodically
 
reset,
 
but
 
the
frequency of
 
that reset
 
does not
 
match the
 
tenor of
 
the interest
 
rate (such
 
as an
 
interest rate
 
reset every
month to a
 
one-year rate),
 
or when the
 
interest rate
 
is periodically
 
reset to
 
an average
 
of short-
 
and long-
term interest rates.
If the
 
difference between
 
the undiscounted
 
contractual cash
 
flows and
 
the undiscounted
 
benchmark cash
flows is or may become significant, then the instrument
 
is not considered basic.

Depending on the contractual terms, the comparison
 
with benchmark cash flow may be performed through
a qualitative
 
assessment; but
 
in other
 
cases, a
 
quantitative test
 
is required.
 
The difference
 
between con-
tractual and benchmark cash flows has to be considered in each reporting
 
period and cumulatively over the
life of
 
the instrument.
 
When performing
 
this benchmark
 
test, the
 
entity considers
 
factors that
 
could
 
affect
future undiscounted contractual cash flows: using the yield curve at the date of the initial assessment is not
enough, and the entity
 
also has to consider
 
whether the curve could
 
change over the life
 
of the instrument
according to reasonably possible scenarios.
Within the Group,
 
the financial instruments
 
concerned by a
 
benchmark test include,
 
for instance, variable-
rate housing loans for which interest rates are reset every year
 
based on the twelve-month Euribor average
observed over
 
the two
 
months previous
 
to the reset.
 
Another example
 
is loans
 
granted to real
 
estate pro-
fessionals for
 
which interest
 
is revised
 
quarterly based
 
on the
 
one-month Euribor
 
average observed
 
over
the three
 
months previous
 
to the reset.
 
Following the
 
benchmark analysis
 
performed by
 
the Group,
 
it has
been concluded that these loans are basic.
Furthermore, a specific analysis
 
of contractual cash flow
 
is required when financial
 
assets are instruments
issued by a securitisation
 
vehicle or a similar entity
 
that prioritises payments to
 
holders using multiple con-
tractually-linked instruments
 
that create
 
concentrations of
 
credit risk
 
(tranches). When
 
assessing whether
contractual cash flows
 
are SPPI or not,
 
the entity must analyse
 
the contractual terms,
 
as well as the credit
risk of each
 
tranche and
 
the exposure to
 
credit risk
 
in the underlying
 
pool of financial
 
instruments. To
 
that
end, the entity must apply a “look-through approach” to identify the underlying instruments that are creating
the cash flows.
 
TREATMENTS OF
 
THE CHANGES IN THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING
 
THE CONTRACTUAL CASH
FLOWS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
– IBOR REFORM
In the context of the reference interest rates reform (IBOR
 
reform) the basis for determining the contrac-
tual cash flows of a financial asset or liability may be modified:
◾
either by amending the contractual terms and conditions set during
 
the initial recognition of the
financial instrument (example: when the agreement is renegotiated,
 
the contractual terms and
conditions are amended to replace the initial reference
 
interest rate by an alternative one),
◾
either by applying the appropriate external disposals without requiring
 
a change in contractual
terms (example: the adoption of European regulations
 
requiring the migration of all contracts still
indexed to Libor CHF and Eonia in the European Union respectively
 
on 1 January and 3 January
2022),
 
◾
or as a result of the activation of an existing contractual term
 
or condition (example: application of
the contractual rate replacement provision, or “Fallback”).
If,
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of the
 
reference
 
interest
 
rates
 
reform
 
(IBOR
 
reform),
 
there
 
is
 
a change
 
in
 
the
 
basis
 
for
determining the contractual cash flows
 
of a financial asset or
 
liability at amortised cost or
 
of a financial asset
at fair
 
value through
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income, the
 
reassessment
 
of the
 
contractual cash
 
flows is
 
re-
garded
 
as
 
a
 
modification
 
of
 
the
 
effective
 
interest
 
rate
 
applied
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
future
 
interest
 
income
 
or
expense and does not generate a gain or loss in the income statement.
This treatment depends on compliance with the following
 
conditions:
 
◾
a change in the basis for determining the contractual
 
cash flows is required and results directly
from the IBOR reform; and
 
◾
the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows
 
is economically equivalent to the former
basis used before the change.
◾
The cases giving rise to a new basis for determining the
 
contractual cash flows considered econo-
mically equivalent to the former basis are, for example:
◾
the replacement of an existing reference interest rate used
 
to determine the contractual cash
flows of a financial asset or liability by:
 
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023
77
 
 
 
o
 
an alternative reference interest rate (or by changing the
 
method used to determine the
reference interest rate in question), with
o
 
the addition of a fixed spread necessary to compensate
 
for the difference in basis be-
tween the existing reference interest rate and the alternative
 
one;
◾
changes in the determination of the amount of interest
 
resulting from the use of a new reference
interest rate (rate revision procedure, number of days between
 
interest payment dates …); and
◾
the addition of a Fallback provision to the contractual terms
 
and conditions of a financial asset or
liability to allow for the implementation of the changes described
 
above (replacement of the rate;
changes in the determination of the interest).
Changes to a financial
 
asset or liability, in addition to those deriving
 
directly from the application of
 
the IBOR
reform, are
 
treated as
 
changes to
 
instruments with
 
an income
 
statement impact
 
whenever they
 
are subs-
tantial.

1. TRADING PORTFOLIO
 
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The trading book contains financial assets
 
and liabilities held or accrued for
 
the purpose of capital markets
activities.
By default,
 
derivative
 
financial
 
instruments
 
are
 
classified
 
into the
 
trading
 
portfolio,
 
unless
 
they
 
qualify
 
as
hedging instruments (see
 
Note 3.3).
The financial
 
instruments
 
recorded
 
in the
 
trading portfolio
 
are measured
 
at fair
 
value
 
at the
 
statement
 
of
financial position date and recognised in the
 
statement of financial position under Financial
 
assets or liabil-
ities measured
 
at fair
 
value through profit
 
or loss.
 
Changes in
 
their fair
 
value, interests accrued
 
and dividends
net gains
 
or losses
 
and revenues
 
from derecognition
 
associated to
 
those instruments
 
are recorded
 
in the
income statement as Net gains and losses on financial instruments
 
at fair value through profit or loss.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As at December 31, 2023, the Financial assets held for
 
trading are mainly composed of :
-
 
financial derivatives, of which back-to-back operations
 
(see Note 3.3 Financial derivatives).
Trading portfolio
 
includes all
 
the financial
 
assets held for
 
trading purpose
 
regardless of
 
the characteristics
of their
 
contractual cash
 
flows. Only
 
non-SPPI financial
 
assets that
 
are not
 
held for
 
trading are
 
classified
amongst
Financial assets measured mandatorily at fair value through
 
profit or loss
 
(see section 3 below).

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MANDATORILY
 
AT FAIR
 
VALUE THROUGH
 
PROFIT OR LOSS
 
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Financial assets measured mandatorily at fair value through
 
profit or loss include:
◾
loans, bonds and other
 
debt securities that
 
are not held
 
for trading purposes
 
and do not pass
 
the SPPI
test (non-basic or non-SPPI instruments).
◾
shares and share equivalents that are not classified in any other sub-category: trading book at fair value
through profit
 
or loss,
 
instruments designated
 
by the
 
Group at
 
fair value
 
through other
 
comprehensive
income without subsequent reclassification to profit or
 
loss.
These
 
financial
 
assets
 
are
 
recordiged
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
in
 
the
 
statement
 
of
 
financial
 
position
 
under
Financial
assets
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
profit
 
or

and
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
these
 
instruments
(excluding
 
accrued
 
interest
 
income)
 
are recorded
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
under
Net gains
 
or losses
 
on
financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
Interest income is recorded in the income statement as
Interest and similar income.
Dividends on shares & equity securities are recorded in the income statement under
Net gains or losses on
financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
, (see paragraph 4 below).

OPTION
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In addition to
 
financial assets
 
and liabilities
 
held for trading,
 
and financial
 
assets measured
 
mandatorily at
fair value through profit or loss, the same headings in the financial statements
 
include non-derivative finan-
cial assets and
 
liabilities that the
 
Group has designated
 
at fair value
 
through profit or
 
loss. Changes in
 
the
fair value of these instruments (including interest) are recorded in the income statement under
Net gains or

. Interest income is recorded in the inco
me statement as
Interest and similar income.

For financial liabilities, this option may only be used in
 
the following cases:
◾
to eliminate or
 
reduce discrepancies
 
in the accounting
 
treatment of certain
 
related financial

◾
when it applies to a hybrid financial instrument with
 
one or more embedded derivatives, which should be
recognised separately;
◾
when a group of financial assets and/or liabilities is managed together and its performance
 
is measured
at fair value.
Furthermore, in order to simplify their accounting treatment by avoiding the separate recognition
 
of embed-
ded derivatives,
 
the Group
 
applies the
 
fair value
 
option to
 
convertible
 
bonds that
 
are not
 
held for
 
trading
purposes.
 
ASSETS
As at December 31, 2023, the Group holds assets for EUR 46,7 million in assets at fair value through profit
and loss
 
using fair

as compared to
 
EUR 39,8
 
million as
 
at December
 
31, 2022 (

NOTE 3.3. – FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
MAKING
IT
SIMPLE
Derivative instruments are financial instruments for which the value changes according to
that of
 
an underlying
 
item and
 
can be
 
accompanied by
 
a leverage
 
effect. The
 
items un-
derlying
 
these
 
instruments
 
are
 
various
 
(interest
 
rates,
 
exchange
 
rates,
 
equity,
 
indexes,
commodities, credit
 
rating…), as
 
well as
 
are their
 
forms (forward
 
contracts, swaps,
 
calls
and puts…).desi
The Group
 
may use
 
these derivative
 
instruments for
 
their market
 
activities to
 
provide to
its customers solutions
 
to meet their risk
 
management or revenue
 
optimisation needs. In
that case, they
 
are accounted for
 
as trading
 
derivatives. These
 
financial instruments
 
are
issued in back-to-back.
The Group
 
may also
 
use derivative
 
instruments to
 
manage and
 
hedge its
 
own risks.
 
In
which case, they are
 
qualified as hedging derivatives.
 
Hedging transactions can concern
individual items or transactions
 
(micro-hedging relationships) or
 
portfolios of financial as-
sets and liabilities
 
that can generate
 
a structural interest-rate
 
risk (macro-hedging relation-
ships).
Contrary to other
 
financial instruments, derivative instruments
 
are always measured
 
at fair
value in the
 
statement of financial
 
position, regardless
 
their purpose (market
 
activities or
hedging transactions).
 
The fair
 
value adjustments
 
of trading
 
derivatives are
 
directly rec-
ognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
 
However,
 
the
 
accounting
 
method
 
used
 
on
 
hedging
transactions aims
 
to neutralise
 
in the
 
income statement
 
the effects
 
of the
 
revaluation of
hedging derivatives, as long as the hedge is effective.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Derivatives are financial instruments meeting the following
 
three criteria:
◾
their value changes in response
 
to the change in a specified
 
interest rate, foreign exchange
 
rate, share
price, index of prices, commodity price, credit rating, etc.;
◾
they require little or no initial investment;
◾
they are settled at a future date.
 
All financial derivatives are recognised at fair value in the statement of financial
 
position as financial assets
or financial liabilities.
 
They are considered
 
to be trading
 
derivatives by default,
 
unless they are
 
designated
as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
 
EMBEDDED DERIVAT
 
IVES
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid contract that also includes a non-derivative host instru-
ment.
 
Where
 
the
 
host contract
 
is a
 
financial
 
asset,
 
the
 
entire
 
hybrid contract
 
is measured
 
at fair
 
value
 
through
profit or loss because its contractual cash flows do not
 
pass the SPPI test.
Where the
 
host contract
 
is a
 
financial liability
 
and is
 
not measured
 
at fair
 
value through
 
profit or
 
loss, the
embedded derivative is separated from the host contract if: at acquisition, the economic characteristics and
risks
 
of the
 
embedded
 
derivative
 
are
 
not closely
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
economic
 
characteristics
 
and
 
risks
 
of the
host; and it would meet the definition of a derivative. As at December 31, 2023 and December 31,2022, the
Group did not have these instruments.

TRADING DERIVATIVES
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
All financial derivatives are recognised at fair value in the statement of financial
 
position as financial assets
or financial liabilities. They are considered to be trading
 
derivatives.
Trading derivatives are recorded in the statement of financial position under Financial assets or liabilities at
fair value through profit or loss. Changes in fair value and interest income
 
and expense are recorded in the
income statement under Net gains and losses on financial
 
instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

HEDGING DERIVATIVES
According to the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, the Group made the choice to maintain the IAS
 
39 provi-
sions related
 
to hedge
 
accounting. Consequently,
 
equity instruments
 
held (equities
 
and similar
 
securities)
are not eligible for hedge accounting regardless of their
 
accounting classification.
In the
 
context of the
 
sharp increase of
 
interest rates, the
 
Group has
 
not observed any
 
ineffectiveness outside
the IAS 39
 
boundaries of 80-125%
 
or disappearance of
 
hedged items that
 
could lead to the
 
termination of
its hedging relationships.
 
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In order to
 
be hedged against certain
 
market risks, the Group
 
sets up hedging derivatives.
 
From an account-
ing standpoint,
 
the
 
Group
 
designates
 
the
 
hedging
 
transaction
 
as
 
a fair
 
value
 
hedge,
 
a cash
 
flow
 
hedge,
depending on the risk and on the instruments that are
 
hedged.
To
 
designate an instrument
 
as a hedging derivative,
 
the Group must document
 
the hedging relationship
 
in
detail, from
 
the inception
 
of the
 
hedge. This
 
documentation specifies
 
the asset,
 
the liability,
 
the risk
 
to be
hedged and the
 
associated risk management
 
strategy, the type of
 
financial derivative used
 
and the valuation
method that will be used to measure its effectiveness.
A
derivative
 
designated
 
as
 
a
 
hedging
 
instrument
 
must
 
be
 
highly
 
effective
 
in
 
offsetting
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
fair
value or cash
 
flows arising from
 
the hedged risk.
 
This effectiveness is verified
 
when changes in
 
the fair value
or cash flows of the hedged instrument
 
are almost entirely offset by
 
changes in the fair value or
 
cash flows
of the hedging instrument, with the expected ratio between
 
the two changes ranging from 80% to 125%.
 
Effectiveness shall be assessed both when
 
the hedge is first set up and throughout its
 
life. Effectiveness is
measured each
 
month retrospectively
 
(effectiveness measured
 
on past
 
periods). Where
 
the effectiveness
falls outside the range specified above hedge accounting
 
in discontinued.
Hedging derivatives
 
are recognised
 
in the
 
statement
 
of financial
 
position under
 
Hedging derivatives.
 
The
purpose of these hedges is to protect the Group against an adverse fluctuation in the fair value
 
of an instru-
ment which
 
could affect
 
profit or
 
loss if
 
the instrument
 
were derecognised
 
from the
 
statement of
 
financial
position.
FAIR VALUE
 
HEDGES
The purpose of
 
these hedges
 
is to protect
 
the Group
 
against an adverse
 
fluctuation in
 
the fair value
 
of an
instrument which could affect profit or loss if the instrument were derecognised from the statement of finan-
cial position.
Changes in the
 
fair value of
 
the hedging
 
derivative are
 
recorded in the
 
income statement
 
under Net
 
gains
and losses on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss;
 
for interest rate derivatives, however,
however,
 
accrued
 
interest income
 
and expenses
 
on the
 
derivative
 
are recorded
 
in the
 
income statement
under Interest and similar income / Interest and similar expense – Hedging derivatives symmetrically
 
to the
accrued interest income and expenses related to the hedged
 
item.
In
 
the
 
consolidated
 
statement
 
of
 
financial
 
position,
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
is
 
adjusted
 
for
gains and losses
 
attributable to the
 
hedged risk, which
 
are reported in
 
the income statement
 
under Net gains
and losses on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. To the extent that the hedge is highly
effective, changes in the
 
fair value of
 
the hedged item and
 
changes in the
 
fair value of
 
the hedging derivative
are accurately offset through profit or loss, the
 
difference corresponding to an ineffectiveness
 
gain or loss.
 
Prospective effectiveness
 
is assessed
 
via a
 
sensitivity analysis
 
based on
 
probable market
 
trends or
 
via a
regression analysis of the
 
statistical relationship (correlation)
 
between the hedged
 
risk component and
 
the
hedging instrument. Retrospective effectiveness is assessed by comparing any changes in the fair value of
the hedging instrument with any changes in the fair value of
 
the hedged item.

If it becomes
 
apparent that the derivative
 
has ceased to meet
 
the effectiveness criteria for
 
hedge accounting
or if it
 
is terminated or
 
sold, hedge accounting is
 
discontinued prospectively. Thereafter, the carrying amount
of the hedged asset or
 
liability ceases to be adjusted for changes
 
in fair value attributable to
 
the hedged risk
and the cumulative
 
adjustments previously
 
recognised under
 
hedge accounting
 
are amortised
 
over its
 
re-
maining
 
life.
 
Hedge
 
accounting
 
is
 
also
 
discontinued
 
if
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
is
 
sold
 
prior
 
to
 
maturity
 
or
 
early-
redeemed, the valuation adjustments are then immediately recognised
 
in the income statement.
CASH FLOW HEDGES
The purpose of interest rate cash flow hedges is to protect against changes in future cash flows associated
with a financial instrument on the statement of financial
 
position. The purpose of these hedges is to protect
the Group
 
against adverse
 
fluctuations in
 
the future
 
cash-flows of
 
an instrument
 
or transaction
 
that could
affect profit or loss.
 
The prospective effectiveness of the hedge is assessed via a sensitivity analysis based on
 
probable market
input trends or via a regression analysis
 
of the statistical relationship (correlation)
 
between the hedged risk
component and the hedging instrument. The effectiveness
 
of the hedge is assessed using the hypothetical
derivative method, which consists in
 
i) creating a hypothetical
 
derivative which bears exactly the same
 
char-
acteristics as the instrument being hedged (in terms of notional amounts, date on which the rates are reset,
interest rate, exchange rate,
 
etc.), but moves in
 
the opposite direction and
 
whose fair value is
 
nil when the
hedge is set up, then ii) comparing the expected changes
 
in the fair value of the hypothetical derivative with
those of the hedging instrument
 
(sensitivity analysis) or performing a regression
 
analysis on the prospective
effectiveness of the hedge.
The changes
 
in fair
 
value of
 
the hedging
 
financial instruments are
 
recorded directly as
 
Unrealised or
 
deferred
gains and losses
 
for their effective
 
portion, while the
 
ineffective portion
 
is recognised under
 
Net gains and
losses on
 
financial instruments
 
at fair
 
value through
 
profit or
 
loss. With
 
regard to
 
interest rate
 
derivatives,
the portion corresponding
 
to the rediscount
 
of the derivative financial
 
instrument is recorded
 
in the income
statement
 
under
 
Interest
 
and
 
similar
 
income
 
/
 
Interest
 
and
 
similar
 
expense
 
symmetrically
 
to
 
the
 
interest
income or expense related to the hedged item.
The gains or losses,
 
realised or unrealised, accumulated
 
directly in equity for
 
the effective portion
 
of these
changes in value,
 
are carried in
 
equity to be
 
recycled in the
 
income statement
 
when the expected
 
hedged
cash flows impact the
 
income statement. With regard
 
to the hedging flows
 
related to a
 
variable-rate financial
instrument recorded
 
on the
 
balance sheet,
 
recycling
 
is done
 
as and
 
when the
 
hedged interest
 
income or
expenses are recognised
 
in the income statement.
 
In the case
 
of hedging of future
 
transactions, if it
 
is the
future sale of a financial instrument, recycling takes place on the date when the sold instrument is derecog-
nised; if the transaction is settled through the recognition on the balance sheet of
 
a financial instrument, the
gains or losses accumulated in equity are carried in it, before being recycled in the income statement at the
same pace as the hedged cash flows generated by the instrument
 
then recognised on the balance sheet.
Whenever the hedging derivative ceases to meet the effectiveness criteria for hedge accounting or is
 
termi-
nated or
 
sold, hedge
 
accounting
 
is discontinued
 
prospectively.
 
Amounts previously
 
recognised directly
 
in
equity are reclassified under Interest income and
 
expense in the income statement over the periods
 
during
which interest income
 
is affected by
 
cash flows arising
 
from the hedged
 
item. If the
 
hedged item is
 
sold or
redeemed earlier than expected,
 
unrealised gains and
 
losses recognised in equity
 
are immediately reclas-
sified in the income statement.
PORTFOLIO HEDGES (MACRO-HEDGE)

type

rate
 
derivatives
 
are

risk
resulting mainly from clients’ deposits.

In accounting
 
for these
 
transactions, are
 
either documented
 
as fair
 
value hedges
 
or as
 
cash flow
 
hedges
depending
 
on
 
which
 
type
 
of
 
hedging
 
relationship
 
is
 
implemented
 
and
 
which
 
financial
 
instruments
 
are
hedged.
A.
 
Macro fair value hedge relationships
While documenting a macro fair value hedge of fixed rate assets and liabilities portfolios, the Group applies
the IAS 39 “carve-out” standard as adopted by the European
 
Union, which facilitates:
 
●
 
the application of
 
fair value hedge accounting
 
to the macro-hedges used
 
for asset-liability management,
including customer demand deposits in the fixed-rate positions
 
being hedged;
 
●
 
the performance of the effectiveness tests.
The accounting
 
treatment
 
of the
 
financial
 
derivatives
 
designated as
 
macro fair
 
value hedges
 
is similar
 
to
that
 
of
 
other
 
fair
 
value
 
hedging
 
instruments.
 
Changes
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
of
 
macro-hedged
instruments measured
 
based on
 
the modelled
 
synthetic instrument
 
are reported
 
on a
 
separate line
 
in the
balance sheet under Revaluation differences on portfolios hedged against interest rate risk through profit
 
or
loss (table
Fair value hedge : Breakdown of hedged items detailed
 
below
).
 
B.
 
Macro cash flow hedge relationships
While
 
documenting
 
a macro
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge,
 
the
 
Group apply
 
the same
 
accounting
 
principles
 
as those
presented above for cash flow hedge. Thus, macro
 
-hedged assets or liabilities portfolios are not measured
at fair value for the hedged risk.
In the case of macro cash flow hedge, hedged portfolios
 
include assets or liabilities at variable rate.
 
Finally, regardless
 
of the documentation
 
used for these
 
macro-hedges, they require
 
the implementation of
three tests to measure the effectiveness of the relationship:
 
●
 
a non-over-coverage
 
test to
 
ensure, prospectively
 
and retrospectively,
 
that the nominal
 
amount of
 
the
portfolios covered is higher
 
than the notional amount
 
of the hedging instruments
 
for each future maturity
band and each rate generation;
 
●
 
a
 
test
 
of
 
non-disappearance
 
of
 
the
 
hedged
 
item,
 
which
 
consists
 
in
 
prospectively
 
and
 
retrospectively
ensuring that the historically covered maximum position is less than the notional amount of the
 
hedging
instruments on the closing date considered for each maturity band
 
and each generation of rates;
 
●
 
a quantitative test to retrospectively ensure that the fair value changes in the modelled synthetic instru-
ment offset the changes in fair value of the hedging
 
instruments.

sist of interest rate swaps.
Through some of its operations, the Group is exposed to future cash flow changes in its short and medium-
term funding requirements, and sets up
 
hedging relationships recognised for accounting
 
purposes as cash
flow hedges. Highly probable funding requirements are determined using historic
 
data established for each
activity and
 
representative
 
of balance
 
sheet outstanding.

CASH FLOW HEDGE : BREAKDOWN OF HEDGED ITEMS
The following table describes the change of fair value
 
of hedged items used to book the ineffective portion
of the hedge during the current period. As at December
 
31, 2023 and 2022, hedged items are composed
of customers deposits (Note 3.7.2) with floating interest
 
rates mainly in EUR and USD. Regarding the
cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of hedged
 
items is assessed using the hypothetical derivative
method described in the accounting principles above.

DEBT INSTRUMENTS
 
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Debt instruments are
 
classified as Financial assets
 
at fair value
 
through other comprehensive income
 
where
their contractual cash
 
flows are consistent
 
with basic lending
 
arrangements (SPPI)
 
and they are
 
managed
under a Collect and Sell business model.
Accrued or earned
 
income on debt
 
instruments is recorded
 
in profit or
 
loss based on
 
the effective
 
interest
rate, under
Interest and similar income
.
 
At the
 
reporting
 
date, these
 
instruments are
 
measured at
 
fair value,
 
and changes
 
in fair
 
value,
 
excluding
income, are
 
recorded
 
under Unrealised
 
or deferred
 
gains and
 
losses, except
 
for foreign
 
exchange differ-
ences, which are recorded in profit
 
or loss. Furthermore, as these financial
 
assets are subject to impairment
for
 
credit
 
risk,
 
changes
 
in
 
expected
 
credit
 
losses
 
are
 
recorded
 
in
 
profit
 
or
 
loss
 
under
 
Cost
 
of
 
risk
 
with
 
a
corresponding entry
 
to Unrealised
 
or deferred
 
gains and
 
losses. The
 
applicable impairment
 
rules are
 
de-
scribed in Note 3.9. The impairment does not impact the carrying
 
amount of the assets.
If
 
these
 
instruments
 
are
 
sold,
 
the
 
impairments
 
for
 
credit
 
risk
 
are
 
reversed
 
in
 
Cost
 
of
 
risk
 
in
 
the
 
income
statement, and the unrealised or deferred gains and losses are reclassified to profit or loss under
Net gains
or losses on financial assets at fair value through other
 
comprehensive income.
 
BUSINESS MODEL “HOLD TO COLLECT AND SELL”
The objective
 
of this
 
business model
 
is to
 
realise cash
 
flows by
 
both collecting
 
contractual payments
 
and
selling financial
 
assets. In
 
this type
 
of business
 
model, the
 
sales of
 
financial
 
assets
 
are not
 
incidental
 
or
exceptional, but they are integral to achieving the business’
 
objectives.

EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Equity instruments (shares
 
and share equivalents),
 
that are
 
not held for
 
trading purposes,
 
can be ini-
tially designated by the Group to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. This
choice made instrument by instrument, is irrevocable.desi
These equity instruments are then measured at fair value and
 
the changes in fair value are recognised
under Unrealised
 
or deferred
 
gains and
 
losses with
 
no subsequent
 
reclassification to
 
profit or
 
loss. If
the
 
instruments
 
are
 
sold,
 
the
 
realised
 
gains
 
and
 
losses
 
are
 
reclassified
 
to
 
Retained
 
earnings
 
at
 
the
opening of the next financial
 
year. Only
 
dividend income, if it
 
is considered as a
 
return on investment,
is recorded
 
in profit
 
or loss
 
under Net
 
gains or
 
losses on
 
financial
 
assets at
 
fair value
 
through
 
other
comprehensive income.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As
 
at
 
December
 
31,
 
2023
 
and
 
December
 
31,2022,
 
the
 
Group
 
did
 
not
 
apply
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
other
comprehensive income option to any equity instruments.

NOTE 3.5. - FAIR VALUE
 
OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
MAKING
IT
SIMPLE
The financial assets and liabilities
 
recognised in the Group statement
 
of financial position
are measured either
 
at fair value
 
or at amortised
 
cost. In the
 
latter case, the
 
fair value of
the instruments is disclosed in the notes (see Note 3.6).
If an instrument is quoted on an active market, its fair value
 
is equal to its market price.
But many
 
financial instruments are
 
not listed :
 
most of the
 
notes issued by
 
the Group, loans
and receivables, structured products,
 
Financial
 
derivatives traded by the Group are mostly only negotiable on over-the-counter
markets.
 
In such situations, the fair value of the instruments is calculated using measurement tech-
niques or valuation models. Market parameters are included in these models and must be
observable; otherwise they
 
are determined based
 
on internal estimates. The
 
models and
parameters used are subject to independent validations
 
and internal controls.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
DEFINITION OF FAIR VALUE
Fair
 
value
 
is
 
the
 
price
 
that
 
would
 
be
 
received
 
to
 
sell
 
an
 
asset
 
or
 
paid
 
to
 
transfer
 
a
 
liability
 
in
 
an
 
orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement
 
date.
In the absence of observable prices for identical assets or liabilities, the fair value of financial
 
instruments is
determined using
 
another measurement technique
 
that maximises
 
the use
 
of observable
 
market input
 
based
on assumptions that market operators would use to set
 
the price of the instrument in question.
FAIR VALUE
 
HIERARCHY
The fair values of financial instruments include accrued
 
interest as applicable
For information
 
purposes, in
 
the notes
 
to the
 
consolidated
 
financial statements,
 
the fair
 
value of
 
financial
instruments is classified
 
using a fair
 
value hierarchy that
 
reflects the observability
 
level of the
 
inputs used.
The fair value hierarchy is composed of the following
 
levels:
Level 1
 
(L1):
 
instruments
 
valued on
 
the
 
basis of
 
quoted
 
prices (unadjusted)
 
in active
 
markets
 
for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 1
 
instruments carried
 
at fair
 
value on
 
the statement
 
of financial
 
position include
 
in particular
 
shares
listed in an active market, government or corporate bonds priced
 
directly by external brokers/dealers, deriv-
atives traded on organised markets
 
(futures, options), and units of
 
funds (including UCITS) whose net asset
value is available on the statement of financial position
 
date.
A
financial instrument
 
is regarded
 
as quoted
 
in an
 
active market
 
if quoted
 
prices are
 
readily and
 
regularly
available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and if they
reflect actual and regular market transactions on an arm’s
 
length basis.
Determining whether
 
a market is
 
inactive requires
 
the use
 
of indicators
 
such as
 
a sharp decline
 
in trading
volume and the
 
level of activity
 
in the market,
 
a sharp disparity
 
in prices over
 
time and among
 
the various
above-mentioned market participants,
 
or the fact that
 
the latest transactions conducted
 
on an arm’s length
basis did not take place recently enough.
 
Where a financial instrument is traded in several markets to which the Group has immediate access, its fair
value is represented by the market price at which volumes and activity levels are
 
highest for the instrument
in question.
 
 
 
 
 
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023
99
 
 
 
 
Transactions resulting from involuntary liquidations or distressed sales are usually not taken into account to
determine the market price.
Level 2 (L2): instruments
 
valued using inputs
 
other than the
 
quoted prices included
 
in Level 1
 
that
are observable for the
 
asset or liability,
 
either directly (i.e.
 
as prices) or indirectly
 
(i.e. derived from
prices).
These are
 
instruments measured
 
using a
 
financial model
 
based on
 
observable market
 
inputs. The
 
inputs
used shall be
 
observable in
 
active markets ;
 
using some unobservable
 
inputs is
 
possible only if
 
those last
have a
 
less decisive
 
influence on
 
the fair
 
value of
 
the instrument.
 
Prices published
 
by an
 
external source
derived from the valuation of similar instruments are considered
 
as data derived from prices.
Level
 
2
 
instruments
 
include
 
in
 
particular
 
non
 
derivative
 
financial
 
instruments
 
carried
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
on
 
the
statement of
 
financial position
 
that are
 
not directly
 
quoted or
 
do not
 
have a
 
quoted price
 
on a
 
sufficiently
active market
 
(e.g. corporate
 
bonds, repos
 
transactions, mortgage-backed
 
securities, units
 
of funds),
 
and
firm
 
derivatives
 
and
 
options
 
traded
 
over-the-counter:
 
interest
 
rate
 
swaps,
 
caps,
 
floors,
 
swaptions,
 
equity
options, index options, foreign exchange
 
options, commodity options and
 
credit derivatives. The maturities
of
 
these
 
instruments
 
are
 
linked
 
to
 
ranges
 
of
 
terms
 
commonly
 
traded
 
in
 
the
 
market,
 
and
 
the
 
instruments
themselves can be simple or offer
 
a more complex remuneration profile
 
(e.g. barrier options, products with
multiple underlying instruments), with said complexity remaining limited however.
 
The valuation techniques
used in this category are based on common methods shared by the
 
main market participants.
This category also
 
includes the
 
fair value of
 
loans and
 
receivables measured
 
at amortised
 
cost in the
 
bal-
ance-sheet granted to counterparties whose credit risk
 
is quoted via Credit Default Swap (See Note 3.10).
Level 3
 
(L3): instruments
 
valued using
 
significant part
 
of inputs
 
that are
 
not based
 
on observable
market data (referred to as unobservable inputs).
Level 3 instruments
 
carried at fair
 
value on the
 
balance sheet
 
are valued using
 
financial models based
 
on
market inputs
 
among which
 
those which
 
are unobservable
 
or observable
 
on insufficiently
 
active markets,
have a significant impact on the fair value of the financial
 
instrument as a whole.
 
Accordingly,
 
Level 3 financial
 
instruments include
 
derivatives and
 
repo transactions
 
with longer
 
maturities
than those usually traded and/or with specifically-tailored return profiles, structured
 
debts including embed-
ded derivatives valued based
 
on a method using
 
unobservable inputs or long-term
 
equity investments val-
ued based on a
 
corporate valuation method,
 
which is the case
 
for unlisted companies
 
or companies listed
on an insufficiently liquid market.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT
 
AMORTISED COST
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
For financial instruments that are not recognised at fair value on the balance sheet, the figures disclosed
 
in
this note and broken down according to the fair value hierarchy as described above should
 
not be taken as
an estimate of the
 
amount that would
 
be realised if
 
all such financial
 
instruments were to
 
be settled imme-
diately.
The fair value of financial instruments includes accrued
 
interest if applicable.
For financial instruments that are not recognised at fair value on the balance sheet, the figures disclosed
 
in
this note are estimates of their
 
fair value broken down according
 
to the fair value hierarchy as
 
described in
Note 3.5 paragraphs 1 and 2.
These estimates are
 
disclosed for information
 
purpose only,
 
they are not
 
used for the
 
management of the
Group’s activities,
 
and should not
 
be taken as
 
an estimate of
 
the amount that
 
would be realised
 
if all such
financial instruments were to be settled immediately.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Please refer
 
to Note
 
3.5.5 for
 
additional details
 
on the
 
valuation methods
 
for loans
 
and debt
 
securities at
amortised cost.
FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST
The Group
 
analyzed the
 
main variations
 
in fair
 
value of
 
financial instruments
 
measured at
 
amortised cost
and assessed the following:
 
-
 
Interest rate
 
risk impacts
 
mainly loans
 
and deposits
 
with fixed
 
rates with
 
maturities above
 
1 year.
Regarding the other financial
 
instruments at amortised
 
cost such as debt
 
securities and loans
 
and
deposits
 
with
 
variable
 
rates
 
or fixed
 
rates
 
with
 
maturities
 
below
 
1 year,
 
the
 
Group
 
considers
 
the
interest rate risk impact as non material;
-
 
At Group level, the loans and deposits with
 
fixed rates with maturities above 1 year and sensitive to
interest rate risk represent a
 
limited volume in terms of
 
amount and number,
 
considering the loans
and deposits from the Private Banking subsidiaries are
 
fully hedged back-to-back by the Group.
With the above described
 
approach, the fair value
 
assessment of financial instruments
 
measured at amor-
tised cost is reported below as at December 31, 2023
 
and December 31, 2022.

5. VALUATION
 
METHODS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED
 
AT FAIR
 
VALUE ON THE
 
BALANCE SHEET
For financial instruments recognised at fair value on
 
the balance sheet, fair value is determined primarily on
the basis of
 
the prices quoted
 
in an active
 
market. These
 
prices may be
 
adjusted, if they
 
are not available
at the
 
balance sheet
 
date in
 
order to
 
incorporate the
 
events that
 
have an
 
impact
 
on prices
 
and occurred
after the closing of
 
the stock markets but
 
before the measurement date or
 
in the event of
 
an inactive market.
However,
 
due notably
 
to the
 
varied characteristics
 
of financial
 
instruments traded
 
over
‑
the
‑
counter on
 
the
financial markets, a large number of financial products
 
traded by the Group does not have quoted prices
 
in
the markets.
For these
 
products, fair value
 
is determined
 
using models
 
based on
 
valuation techniques
 
commonly used
by market participants to measure financial instruments,
 
such as discounted future cash flows for swaps or
the Black & Scholes
 
formula for certain
 
options and using
 
valuation parameters that
 
reflect current market
conditions at
 
the balance
 
sheet date.
 
These valuation
 
models are
 
validated independently
 
by the
 
experts
from the Market Risk Department of the Group’s
 
Risk Division.
Furthermore, the inputs used in the valuation models, whether derived from observable market
 
data or not,
are checked by the Finance Department,
 
in accordance with the methodologies defined by the Market Risk
Department of Société Générale Group.
If necessary, these valuations
 
are supplemented by
 
additional reserves (such
 
as bid
‑
ask spreads
 
or liquidity)
determined reasonably and appropriately after an analysis
 
of available information.
Derivatives and security financing transactions
 
are subject to a Credit Valuation
 
Adjustment (CVA)
 
or Debt
Valuation Adjustment
 
(DVA).
The CVA
 
is determined on
 
the basis of
 
the Group entity’s
 
expected positive exposure
 
to the counterparty,
the counterparty’s
 
probability of
 
default and
 
the amount
 
of the
 
loss given
 
default. The
 
DVA
 
is determined
symetrically based
 
on the
 
negative expected
 
exposure. These
 
calculations are
 
carried out
 
over the
 
life of
the potential exposure, with a focus on the use of relevant
 
and observable market data.
Observable data must be:
 
independent, available, publicly distributed, based on
 
a narrow consensus and/or
backed up by transaction prices.
For example, consensus
 
data provided by
 
external counterparties
 
are considered observable
 
if the under-
lying market
 
is liquid
 
and if
 
the prices
 
provided are
 
confirmed by
 
actual transactions.
 
For long
 
maturities,
these consensus data are not observable. This is the case for the implied volatility used for the valuation
 
of
equity options with
 
maturities of more than
 
five years. However, when the
 
residual maturity of the
 
instrument
falls below five years, its fair value becomes sensitive to
 
observable inputs.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
unusual
 
tensions
 
on
 
the
 
markets,
 
leading
 
to
 
a
 
lack
 
of
 
the
 
usual
 
reference
 
data
 
used
 
to
measure a financial instrument, the Risk Division may implement a new model in accordance with pertinent
available data, similar to methods used by other market
 
players.
BONDS & OTHER DEBT SECURITIES
 
The fair value of these financial instruments
 
is determined based on the quoted price on
 
the balance sheet
date or prices provided by brokers on the
 
same date, when available. For unlisted financial instruments, fair
value is determined using valuation techniques.
 
SHARES AND OTHER EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
 
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023
106
 
 
 
 
 
For listed shares, fair value
 
is taken to be the quoted
 
price on the balance sheet
 
date. For unlisted shares,
fair value is determined depending on the type of financial instrument and
 
according to one of the following
methods:
◾
Discounted Cash Flows method based on business plans
◾
Discounted Dividend Method based on business plans
LOANS AND RECEIVABLES
For listed financial instruments,
 
fair value is taken
 
as their closing
 
quoted price on
 
the balance sheet
 
date.
For unlisted financial instruments, fair value is determined by discounting future cash
 
flows to present value
at market rates (including counterparty risks, non-performance
 
and liquidity risks).
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
The fair value of these financial instruments
 
is determined based on the quoted price on
 
the balance sheet
date or prices provided by brokers on the
 
same date, when available. For unlisted financial instruments, fair
value is determined using valuation techniques.

loans and receivables is
 
calculated, in the absence
 
of an actively traded
 
market for these
loans, by
 
discounting the
 
expected cash
 
flows to
 
present value
 
at a
 
discount rate
 
based on
 
interest rates
prevailing on the market at the reporting date for Ioans
 
with broadly similar terms and maturities.

ESTIMATES OF MAIN
 
UNOBSERVABLE
 
INPUTS
 
According to the fair value hierarchy established by IFRS 13, Level 3 (L3) comprises products valued using
inputs that are not based on observable market data (referred
 
to as unobservable inputs).
The following table
 
provides the valuation
 
of level 3 instruments
 
on the balance
 
sheet as at December
 
31,
2023 and the range of values of the most significant
 
unobservable inputs by main product type.

Unobservable inputs add a degree of uncertainty in the
 
valuation of Level 3 instruments.
However,
 
by the
 
nature of
 
its activities
 
(mainly private
 
banking, securities
 
services, corporate
 
lending) the
Group has very
 
limited market
 
risk exposure. The
 
impact of an
 
immediate change
 
in an unobservable
 
pa-
rameter would have very limited consequence on the
 
Group net profit.

SENSITIVITY OF FAIR VALUE
 
FOR LEVEL 3 INSTRUMENTS
 
Unobservable inputs are
 
assessed carefully, particularly in this
 
persistently uncertain economic
 
environment
and market. However,
 
by their very nature,
 
unobservable inputs inject
 
a degree of uncertainty
 
into the val-
uation of Level 3 instruments.
To
 
quantify this, fair value sensitivity
 
was estimated at 31 December
 
2023 on instruments whose
 
valuation
requires certain unobservable inputs. This estimate was based either on a “standardised” variation in unob-
servable inputs,
 
calculated
 
for each
 
input on
 
a net
 
position, or
 
on assumptions
 
in line
 
with
 
the additional
valuation adjustment policies for the financial instruments in
 
question.

NOTE 3.6. - LOANS, RECEIVABLES AND SECURITIES AT
 
AMORTISED
COST
1.
 
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AT
 
AMORTISED COST
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Loans, receivables and
 
debt securities are
 
measured at amortised
 
cost where their
 
contractual cash flows
are
 
consistent
 
with
 
basic
 
lending
 
arrangements
 
(SPPI)
 
and
 
they
 
are
 
managed
 
under
 
a
 
“Hold
 
to
 
Collect”
business model.
 
Subsequent to initial recognition,
 
they are measured at
 
amortised cost using the
 
effective interest method,
and their accrued or earned income is recorded in the income statement under Interest and similar income.
Furthermore, as these financial assets
 
are subject to impairment for
 
credit risk, changes in expected
 
credit
losses are
 
recorded in
 
profit or
 
loss under Cost
 
of risk
 
with a corresponding
 
impairment of
 
amortised cost
under balance sheet assets. The applicable impairment
 
rules are described in Note 3.9.
Loans issued by the Group may
 
be subject to renegotiations for
 
commercial reasons, where the
 
borrowing
customer is not
 
experiencing financial difficulties
 
or insolvency.
 
Such efforts are
 
undertaken for customers
for which the
 
Group agrees to renegotiate
 
their debt in
 
the interest of
 
preserving or developing
 
a business
relationship, in accordance
 
with the credit approval
 
procedures in force
 
and without relinquishing
 
any prin-
cipal or accrued interest. Renegotiated loans
 
are derecognised at the renegotiation date,
 
and the new loans
contractualised under the
 
renegotiated terms and
 
conditions replace the
 
previous loans in
 
the balance sheet
at this
 
same date.
 
The new
 
loans are
 
subject to
 
the SPPI
 
test to
 
determine how
 
they are
 
classified in
 
the
balance sheet. If a
 
loan qualifies as SPPI,
 
renegotiation fees received
 
are included in the
 
effective interest
rate of the new instrument. The applicable renegociation on
 
loans rules are described in Note 3.9.

NOTE 3.7. - DEBTS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Debts include non-derivative financial liabilities that are not
 
measured at fair value through profit or loss.
They are recognised in the balance sheet
 
according to the type of instrument
 
and counterparty,
 
under
Due
to banks, Customer deposits, Debt securities issued
.
 
Debts are initially recognised at cost,
 
measured at the fair value of
 
the amount borrowed net of transaction
fees. These liabilities are
 
measured at period-end at amortised
 
cost using the effective interest
 
rate method.
As
 
a
 
result,
 
issue
 
or
 
redemption
 
premiums
 
on
 
bonds
 
are
 
amortised

NOTE 3.8. – INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
MAKING
IT
SIMPLE
Interest
 
is
 
compensation
 
for
 
a
 
financial
 
service,
 
consisting
 
in
 
a
 
lender
 
making
 
a
 
certain
amount of
 
cash available
 
to a
 
borrower for
 
an agreed
 
period of
 
time. Such
 
compensated
financing arrangements can be loans, deposits or securities (bonds, negotiable debt secu-
rities…).
This compensation is
 
a consideration
 
for the
 
time value of
 
money, and additionally for
 
credit
risk, liquidity
 
risk and
 
administrative costs,
 
all borne
 
by the
 
lender for
 
the duration
 
of the
financing agreement.
 
Interest is recognised
 
as expense or
 
income over the
 
life of the financing
 
service granted
or received, proportionally to the principal amount outstanding.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Interest income and expense
 
are recorded in the
 
income statement under
Interest and similar
 
income
 
and
Interest and similar
 
expense
 
for all financial
 
instruments measured
 
using the effective
 
interest method (in-
struments at amortised cost and debt instruments at fair
 
value through other comprehensive income).
-
Interest income and
 
expense are recorded
 
in the income
 
statement under
 
Interest and similar
 
income
and Interest and similar expense for :
 
-
all financial
 
instruments
 
measured using
 
the effective
 
interest method
 
(instruments
 
at amortised
 
cost
and debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive
 
income) ;
 
-
hedging financial derivatives ;
-
trading portfolio
-
all financial instruments mandatorily measured at fair value through
 
profit and loss ;
 
-
all financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
 
using fair value option
-
interest rate
 
risk hedging derivatives
 
for the
 
portion of income
 
or expenses representative
 
of the
 
effective
interest rate ;
-
interest on lease liabilities (from IFRS 16 application).
 
Negative
 
interest
 
cashflows
 
on assets
 
are recorded
 
under
Interest
 
and
 
similar
 
expense
;
 
positive
 
interest
cashflows on liabilities are recorded under
Interest and similar income
.
The effective interest rate is taken to be the rate used to
 
net discount future cash inflows and outflows over
the expected life
 
of the instrument
 
in order to establish
 
the net book value
 
of the financial
 
asset or liability.
The calculation of this
 
rate considers the future
 
cash flows estimated
 
on the basis of
 
the contractual provi-
sions of the financial
 
instrument without taking
 
into account possible
 
future credit losses
 
and also includes
commissions paid
 
or received
 
between the
 
parties where these
 
may be
 
assimilated to
 
interest, directly linked
transaction costs, and all types of premiums and discounts.
Where a financial asset is classified in Stage 3 for impairment, subsequent interest income is recognized in
profit or loss by applying the effective interest
 
rate to the net amount calculated by deducting
 
the credit risk
impairment applicable from the net carrying amount of
 
the financial asset.

income and
 
ex-
penses booked in the income statement are classified by type of instrument rather than by purpose, the net
income generated by activities in financial instruments at fair value
 
through profit or loss must be assessed
as a whole.

NOTE 3.9. - IMPAIRMENT AND PROVISIONS
MAKING
IT
SIMPLE
Some financial assets
 
(loans, debt securities)
 
involve credit risk
 
which exposes the
 
Group
to a potential
 
loss if the
 
counterparty or
 
the securities
 
issuer were
 
to be unable
 
to respect
their financial commitments. To
 
bear this risk, a portion of the
 
contractual interest received
by the Group on those assets, called credit margin, compensate
 
it.
 
This potential loss, or expected credit loss,
 
is recognised in profit or loss without
 
waiting the
occurrence of a default event on a specific counterparty.
 
For loans, receivables and debt securities measured at
 
amortised cost or fair value through
other comprehensive
 
income, the
 
expected credit
 
loss, as
 
assessed by
 
the Group, is
 
rec-
ognised in
 
profit or
 
loss in
 
the Cost
 
of risk.
 
On balance
 
sheet, this
 
potential loss
 
is recog-
nised as an impairment that reduces the carrying amount of assets measured at amortised
cost. Impairments
 
are written-back in case of a subsequent decrease of credit
 
risk.
Potential losses recognised in profit or loss represent
 
initially the credit losses expected by
the Group over the
 
year to come.
 
Subsequently,
 
the amount is
 
increased by the
 
expected
loss at maturity of the instrument in case of significant increase of risk. The losses are then
reassessed if the counterparty or issuer of the security
 
is in default.
For financial assets measured at
 
fair value through profit or
 
loss (including instruments hold
by global
 
markets activities),
 
their fair
 
value includes
 
already the
 
expected credit
 
loss, as
assessed by the market participant, on the residual
 
lifetime of the instrument.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 
RECOGNITION OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
Debt instruments classified as financial assets at
 
amortised cost or as financial assets at fair value
 
through
other comprehensive
 
income, customer
 
receivables, as
 
well as loan
 
commitments granted
 
and guarantee
commitments
 
issued,
 
are
 
systematically
 
subject
 
to
 
impairment
 
or
 
provisions
 
for
 
expected
 
credit
 
losses.
These impairments and provisions are
 
recognised as the loans are
 
granted, the commitments undertaken,
or the debt securities purchased, without waiting for the occurrence of an objective evidence of impairment.
To determine the amount of impairment or provision to be
 
recorded at each reporting date, these
 
exposures
are split among
 
three categories
 
based on the
 
increase in credit
 
risk observed since
 
initial recognition. An
impairment or provision shall be recognised for the exposures
 
in each category as follows:
EXPOSURES CLASSIFIED IN STAGE
 
1
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023
117
 
 
 
 
At the
 
initial recognition
 
date, the
 
exposures are
 
systematically classified
 
in Stage
 
1, unless
 
they are
 
pur-
chased or originated credit-impaired instruments.
EXPOSURES CLASSIFIED IN STAGE
 
2
To
 
identify
 
Stage
 
2
 
exposures,
 
the
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
is
 
assessed
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
using
 
all
available past
 
and forward-looking
 
data (behavioral
 
scores, loan
 
to value indicators,
 
macroeconomic fore-
cast scenarios, etc.).
 
This assessment of
 
changes in
 
credit risk takes
 
account of the
 
following three criteria’s:
-
The counterparty’s credit rating
The Group
 
analyses
 
changes
 
in
 
the counterparty’s
 
credit
 
rating,
 
as well
 
as any
 
changes
 
in
 
its operating
sector, in macroeconomic
 
conditions and in the behaviors of
 
the counterparty that may,
 
above and beyond
the review of the credit rating, be a sign of deteriorating credit risk.
If, after a review, a counterparty is
 
deemed “sensitive” (notion of watch list),
 
all contracts between the Group
and this counterparty are transferred into Stage
 
2 and the related impairment and provisions are
 
increased
up
 
to
 
the
 
lifetime
 
expected
 
credit
 
losses.
 
Once
 
a
 
counterparty
 
has
 
been
 
placed
 
on
 
a
 
watch
 
list,
 
all
 
new
transactions originated with that counterparty are recorded
 
in Stage 2.
-
The magnitude of the change in a counterparty’s credit
 
rating
This magnitude is assessed from contract to
 
contract, from the date of their initial
 
recognition to the balance
sheet date.
To
 
determine whether
 
a deterioration or
 
improvement in the
 
credit rating between
 
the date of
 
initial recog-
nition and the balance sheet date is
 
significant enough to prompt a change in the
 
impairment Stage, thresh-
olds are set once a
 
year by the Risk
 
Division. These transfer thresholds
 
between Stage 1 and
 
Stage 2 are
determined for
 
each homogenous
 
portfolio of
 
contracts (notion
 
of risk
 
segment) and
 
are calculated
 
based
on the
 
probability-of-default
 
curves
 
for each
 
(thus, the
 
threshold is
 
different
 
depending on
 
whether it
 
is a
Sovereign portfolio or a
 
Large Corporates portfolio, for instance).
 
The thresholds are therefore differentiated
based on the one-year
 
probability of default curves;
 
this assumes there is
 
no distortion with respect
 
to any
comparison made with the lifetime probability-of-default curves.
From
 
2019
 
the
 
thresholds
 
are
 
differentiated
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
lifetime
 
probability-of-default
 
curves
 
for
 
the
Group’s main portfolios.
 
The transition from one-year
 
probability-of-default curves
 
to lifetime probability-of-
default curves
 
is ongoing
 
for the
 
remaining portfolios,
 
assuming that
 
there is
 
no distortion
 
with respect
 
to
any comparison made with the lifetime probability-of-default curves.
-
 
The existence of payments more than 30 days past due
There is a rebuttable presumption of a significant deterioration in credit risk
 
when a payment on an asset is
more than 30 days past due.
Once any one of
 
these three criteria
 
is met, the instrument
 
is transferred from
 
Stage 1 to Stage
 
2, and the
related impairments or provisions are adjusted accordingly.
The first two
 
criteria are symmetrical: a
 
sufficient improvement in the
 
credit rating, or
 
removal from the watch
list of sensitive counterparties, results in a return to Stage 1.

EXPOSURES CLASSIFIED IN STAGE
 
3
To
 
identify Stage
 
3 exposures
 
(doubtful exposures),
 
the Group
 
has been
 
applying
 
to most
 
of its
 
entities,
since July 2020, the new definition of default as detailed in the guidelines published by the European Bank-
ing Authority (EBA). This definition leads to applying
 
the following criteria to classify exposures as Stage
 
3:
●
 
One or more unpaid payments of one or more unpaid payments of over 500 euros for Non
‑
retail during
90 consecutive
 
days, representing at
 
least 1%
 
of the
 
total exposure of
 
the customer. This unpaid
 
amount
may or may
 
not be accompanied
 
by a recovery
 
procedure except for
 
restructured loans
 
classified into
Stage 1 or 2 which are retransferred into
 
Stage 3 from the first amount unpaid
 
after 30 days during the
two
‑
year
 
probation
 
period.
 
In
 
addition,
 
only
 
missed
 
payments
 
related
 
to
 
business
 
litigations,
 
specific
contractual features or IT failures may avoid automatic
 
transfer into Stage 3 after 90 days;
●
 
identification of other
 
criteria that evidence,
 
even in the
 
absence of missed
 
payments, that this
 
is unlikely
that the counterparty could meet all its financial obligations:
-
A significant deterioration in the counterparty’s
 
financial situation creates a strong
 
probability that it will
not be able to meet all of its commitments and thus represents
 
a risk of loss for the Group;
-
Concessions are granted
 
to the clauses
 
of the loan agreement,
 
in light of the
 
borrower’s financial diffi-
culties, that would not have been granted in other circumstances;
 
-
The existence
 
of litigious
 
proceedings (ad hoc
 
mandate, bankruptcy protection,
 
court-ordered settlement
or compulsory liquidation or other similar proceedings in
 
local jurisdictions).
 
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
the
 
impairment
 
contagion
 
principle
 
to
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
defaulting
 
counterparty’s
 
exposures.
When
 
a debtor
 
belongs
 
to
 
a group,
 
the
 
impairment
 
contagion
 
principle
 
may also
 
be
 
applied
 
to
 
all
 
of the
group’s exposures.
In
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
a
 
return
 
in
 
Stage
 
2,
 
the
 
exposures
 
are
 
kept
 
in
 
Stage
 
2
 
during
 
a
 
probation
 
period
 
before
assessing whether they could be transferred in Stage 1.
 
This probation period in Stage 2 is
 
from six months
to two years according to the nature of the risk portfolio
 
to which the exposures belong.
MEASUREMENT OF DEPRECIATION
 
AND PROVISION
Stage 1
 
exposures are
 
impaired for
 
the amount
 
of credit
 
losses that
 
the Group
 
expects to
 
incur within
 
12
months (12-months expected credit
 
losses), based on past
 
data and the current situation.
 
Accordingly,
 
the
amount of
 
impairment
 
is the
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
gross
 
carrying amount
 
of the
 
asset
 
and the
 
present
value of future cash
 
flows deemed to
 
be recoverable, taking
 
into account the
 
impact of collateral called
 
up
or liable to be called up and the probability of a default
 
event occurring within the next 12 months.
 
Stage 2 and 3 exposures
 
are impaired for the amount
 
of credit losses that the
 
Group expects to incur over
the life
 
of the
 
exposures (lifetime
 
expected credit
 
losses), taking
 
into consideration
 
past data,
 
the present
situation
 
and
 
reasonable
 
forecast
 
changes
 
in
 
economic
 
conditions,
 
and
 
relevant
 
macroeconomic
 
factors
through
 
to
 
maturity.
 
Accordingly,
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
impairment
 
is
 
the
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
gross
 
carrying
amount of the
 
asset and
 
the present
 
value of
 
future cash
 
flows deemed
 
to be
 
recoverable, taking
 
into ac-
count the
 
impact of
 
collateral called up
 
or liable
 
to be
 
called up
 
and the
 
probability of a
 
default event
 
occurring
through to the instrument’s maturity.
Irrespective of
 
the Stage
 
in which the
 
exposures are
 
classified, cash
 
flows are
 
discounted using
 
the initial
effective interest rate of
 
the financial asset. The
 
amount of impairment is
 
included in the net
 
carrying amount
of the credit
 
impaired financial
 
asset. Impairment
 
allocations/reversals are
 
recorded in
 
profit or
 
loss under
Cost of risk.
ESTIMATION OF
 
EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
The methodology
 
for calculating
 
Stage 1
 
and 2
 
expected credit
 
losses is
 
based on
 
the Basel
 
framework,
which served
 
as the
 
basis for
 
determining the
 
methods for
 
setting calculation
 
inputs (probability
 
of default

and loss
 
given default for exposures under the A-IRB
 
and F-IRB approaches, and the provisioning rate for
exposures under the standardised method).
 
SG Group portfolios have been segmented
 
to ensure that they are
 
consistent in terms of risk characteristics
and to ensure better correlation with global and local macroeconomi
 
c
 
variables.
 
This
 
segmentation
 
factors
 
in
 
all
 
specific
 
characteristics
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
activities.
 
This
 
new
segmentation
 
is consistent
 
or equivalent
 
to
 
the
 
segmentation
 
defined
 
in the
 
Basel framework
 
in
 
order
 
to
ensure the uniqueness of past data on defaults and losses.
 
The forward-looking
 
expected credit loss
 
approach (12-months/lifetime)
 
is based first
 
and foremost on
 
the
incorporation of economic forecasts in probability of default.
 
IFRS 9
 
expected credit losses
 
are calculated using
 
the probabilised average
 
of 3 macroeconomic
 
scenarios,
established by Société Générale Group
 
economists for all entities of
 
Société Générale Group (base scenar-
ios and current stress scenarios, plus an optimistic scenario).
The probabilities used
 
are based on
 
past observations, spanning
 
a 25-year period,
 
of differences in
 
outcome
between the base scenario and the actual scenario (positive and
 
negative differences).
 
The method is not
 
based on expert opinion;
 
rather it is intended
 
to be replicated over
 
time and updated each
quarter.
 
The method is supplemented
 
with a sector adjustment
 
that increases or
 
decreases expected credit
 
loss in
an effort to better anticipate defaults or recoveries
 
in certain cyclical sectors.
 
On Private Banking perimeter, a simplified approach of expected credit losses calculation
 
is deployed. This
methodology is based
 
on segmentation by
 
homogeneous portfolio specification for
 
which a provisioning
 
rate
is applied. These rates are reviewed by the business line on
 
a quarterly basis.
 
Lastly, on an ancillary basis,
 
loss allowances based on expert opinions that increase or decrease expected
credit loss have been retained to factor in future risks which cannot be modelled. These inputs are updated
at each reporting date.
RESTRUCTURED LOANS
 
Loans issued or
 
acquired by the
 
Group may be
 
restructured due to
 
financial difficulties. This takes
 
the shape
of a contractual modification of the
 
initial terms of the loan (e.g.
 
lower interest rates, rescheduled loan
 
pay-
ments, partial debt forgiveness,
 
or additional collateral).
 
This adjustment of
 
the contractual terms
 
is strictly
linked to the borrower’s financial difficulties and/or
 
insolvency (whether they have already become insolvent
or are certain to do so if the loan is not restructured).
 
Where they still pass the SPPI test, restructured loans are recognized
 
in the balance sheet and their amor-
tised cost before
 
credit risk allowance
 
is adjusted for
 
a discount representing
 
the restructuration loss.
 
This
discount is
 
equal to
 
the negative
 
difference between
 
the present
 
value of
 
the new
 
contractual cash
 
flows
resulting
 
from
 
the
 
restructuring
 
of
 
the
 
loan
 
and
 
the
 
amortised
 
cost
 
before
 
credit
 
risk
 
allowance
 
less
 
any
partial
 
debt
 
forgiveness;
 
it
 
is booked
 
to
Cost
 
of
 
risk
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
 
As
 
a result,
 
the
 
amount
 
of
interest income
 
subsequently
 
recognised into
 
income
 
are still
 
computed using
 
the initial
 
effective
 
interest
rate of the loan.
Post-restructuring, these financial
 
assets are classified in
 
Stage 3 (credit-impaired
 
exposures) whether the
present value
 
of modified
 
cash flows
 
decreases by
 
more than
 
1% compared
 
with the
 
carrying amount
 
of
financial instruments before the restructuring or
 
there is a high probability
 
that the counterparty cannot meet
all its commitments
 
involving a risk
 
of loss for
 
the Group. In
 
these two cases,
 
the restructuring of
 
financial
assets leads
 
to default.
 
Stage 3
 
classification is
 
maintained for
 
at least
 
one year,
 
or longer
 
if the Group
 
is
uncertain that the borrowers will be able to meet their
 
commitments. Once the loan is no longer classified in
Stage 3, the assessment
 
of the significant increase
 
of credit risk will be
 
performed by comparing the
 
credit
risk level at the closing date and the level at the initial recognition
 
date of the loan before restructuring.

COST OF RISK
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 
Cost of risk
 
only includes net allocations to impairments losses allowances for credit risk, losses on irrecov-
erable loans and amounts recovered on amortised receivables.
The Group proceed to a write off by
 
recognising a loss on the bad loan and a
 
reversal of impairment in Cost
of credit risk when a debt is forgiven
 
or when there are no longer any
 
hopes of future recovery.
 
The lack of
future hopes
 
of recovery
 
is documented
 
when a certificate
 
issued as proof
 
that the
 
debt is
 
uncollectible is
delivered by the relevant
 
authority or when strong
 
circumstantial evidences are
 
identified (years in default,
provisions at 100%, lack of recent recoveries, specificities of
 
the case).
 
However,
 
a write-off
 
in accounting
 
terms
 
does not
 
imply debt
 
forgiveness
 
in the
 
legal sense
 
as recovery
actions on
 
cash due
 
by the
 
counterparty are
 
pursued particularly
 
if the latter’s
 
fortune improve.
 
In case
 
of
recoveries on an exposure previously written-off, such recoveries are recognised as
Amounts recovered on
bad loans
 
on the year of collection.

* In 2023, losses not covered on irrecoverable loans for an amount of EUR 28 million are related to disposal losses on
2 deals in Corporate portfolio. Further to such disposal, financial guarantees were activated and allowed recoveries
disclosed in “amounts recovered on irrecoverable loans” for EUR 32 million.
 
The net recovery over year 2023, mostly composed of
 
recoveries on Stage 2 exposures, was mainly ex-
plained by the favorable evolution of the credit portfolio on Russian
 
corporates, with an active policy of
sale of credit exposures and restructuration of debt carried out
 
throughout 2023.

Corporate Investment Banking portfolio
The main variation is related to the decrease in the
 
amount of overlay for a total amount of EUR 81,3 mil-
lion with:
-
 
The restructuration of two credit exposures to Russian
 
counterparties (- EUR 49,5 million);
-
 
The activation of default status on one Russian corporate client (- EUR
 
17 million), as the defaulted
credit exposures have
 
a credit risk
 
calculated individually
 
and are not
 
included in
 
Russian overlay
scope;
-
 
One progressive amortization of a Russian client’s
 
debt (- EUR 15,1 million).
 
The decrease of
 
residual maturity and
 
the gradual amortization
 
(- EUR 13,2
 
million) of the
 
Watchlist client
exposure also allowed the recovery of ECL provision
 
representing EUR 11,5
 
million decrease.
The sale to
 
third parties of
 
two Russian defaulted
 
loans, generated a
 
negative Net
 
Cost of Risk
 
impact for
EUR 1,9 million in Profit and loss.
Retail portfolio
On Private Banking portfolio, the
 
Group’s program for
 
the sale of defaulted receivables
 
resulted in Stage 3
additional provisions at the end of the year 2023 for EUR
 
12,11 million. This negative impact on Net Cost of
Risk
 
was
 
mainy
 
compensated
 
by
 
favorable
 
developments
 
in
 
some
 
litigation
 
files
 
representing
 
EUR
 
8,99
million, resulting in a Net
 
Cost of Risk on stage 3 for retail portfolio of approximately
 
EUR 3,12 million.
A reversal of provisions on exposures in Stages 1 and 2 for EUR 1,57 million explained by repayments and
transfers of Stage contributed to lower total Net Cost of
 
Risk on the Retail Portfolio for 2023.

NOTE 3.10. – ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT, COMMITMENTS AND
ASSETS PLEDGED AND RECEIVED AS SECURITIES
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
LOAN COMMITMENTS
Loan commitments
 
that are
 
not considered
 
as financial
 
derivatives or
 
that are
 
not measured
 
at fair
 
value
through profit
 
and loss
 
for trading
 
purpose are
 
initially recognised
 
at fair
 
value. Thereafter,
 
they are
 
provi-
sioned as necessary in accordance with the accounting
 
principles for
Impairment and provisions
 
(see Note
3.9).
GUARANTEE COMMITMENTS
A financial guarantee
 
contract is a
 
contract that requires
 
the issuer to
 
make specified payments
 
to reimburse
the holder for
 
a loss it incurs
 
because of the
 
failure of a
 
specified debtor to
 
make a payment
 
at maturity at
the initial or modified terms in the debt instrument.
When
 
considered
 
as
 
non-derivative
 
financial
 
instruments,
 
financial
 
guarantees
 
issued
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
are
initially recognised in the balance sheet at fair value. Thereafter, they are measured at either the amount of
the obligation or
 
the amount initially
 
recognised (whichever is higher)
 
less, when appropriate, the
 
cumulative
amortisation of
 
a guarantee
 
commission. Where
 
there is
 
objective evidence
 
of impairment,
 
a provision
 
for
financial guarantees given is recognised on the liabilities side
 
of the balance sheet (see Note 3.9).
SECURITIES COMMITMENTS
Securities bought
 
and sold,
 
which are
 
booked to
Financial assets at
 
fair value
 
through profit or
 
loss, Financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
 
and
Financial assets at amortised cost
 
are recog-
nised
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
at
 
the
 
settlement-delivery
 
date.
 
Between
 
the
 
trade
 
date
 
and
 
the
 
settlement-
delivery date, securities receivable or deliverable
 
are not recognized on the balance
 
sheet. Changes in the
fair value
 
of securities
 
measured at
 
fair value
 
through
 
profit or
 
loss and
 
securities
 
measured at
 
fair value
through other comprehensive
 
income between the trade
 
date and the settlement-delivery
 
date are booked
to profit or loss or equity,
 
depending on the accounting classification of the securities.
 
FIDUCIARY ASSETS
 
The Group
 
provides
 
trust
 
and
 
other
 
fiduciary
 
services
 
that result
 
in
 
the
 
holding or
 
investing
 
of
 
assets
 
on
behalf of its clients. Assets held in a fiduciary capacity,
 
unless recognition criteria are met, are not reported
in the consolidated statement of financial position, as they
 
are not assets of the Group.
The Group records though commitments due
 
to the fiduciary transactions as it is
 
committed to restitute the
fiduciary
 
advance
 
to
 
the
 
clients
 
with
 
the
 
proceeds
 
of
 
the
 
fiduciary
 
trust
 
to

received
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
transaction.

COMMITMENTS
COMMITMENTS GRANTED
To meet the financial needs of customers, the Group enters into various irrevocable commitments and con-
tingent liabilities. These consist of financial guarantees, letters of credit and other undrawn commitments to
lend.
Letters of
 
credit and
 
guarantees (including
 
standby letters
 
of credit)
 
commit the
 
Group to
 
make payments
on behalf of customers in
 
the event of a specific act.
 
Guarantees and standby letters of credit carry a
 
similar
credit risk to loans.

NOTE 3.11. – TRANSFERRED FINANCIAL ASSETS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Transferred
 
financial
 
assets
 
that are
 
not
 
derecognised
 
include
 
securities
 
lending
 
transactions
 
and
 
repur-
chase agreements as well as certain loans transferred
 
to consolidated securitisation vehicles.
 
The tables
 
below show
 
securities lending
 
and repurchase
 
agreements that
 
only concern
 
securities recog-
nised on the asset side of the balance sheet.
Securities
 
involved
 
in
 
a
 
repurchase
 
agreement
 
or
 
securities
 
lending
 
transaction
 
are
 
held
 
in
 
their
 
original
position on the
 
asset side of
 
the Group’s balance sheet.
 
For repurchase agreements, the
 
obligation to return
the
 
amounts
 
deposited
 
is
 
recorded
 
under
Liabilities
 
on
 
the
 
liabilities
 
side
 
of
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet,
 
with
 
the
exception of
 
transactions initiated
 
under trading
 
activities, which
 
are recorded
 
under
Financial liabilities
 
at
fair value through profit or loss.
Securities involved in a reverse repurchase agreement or securities borrowing transaction are not recorded
in the Group’s balance sheet.
 
For securities received
 
under a reverse
 
repurchase agreement, the
 
right to recover
 
the amounts delivered
by the Group
 
is recorded
 
under
Customer Loans
 
and receivables
 
or
Due from
 
banks
on the asset
 
side of
the balance
 
sheet, with
 
the exception
 
of transactions
 
initiated under
 
trading activities,
 
which are
 
recorded
under
Financial assets at fair value through profit
 
or loss.
 
In the case of a subsequent sale of the borrowed
securities, a debt
 
due to the
 
lender of those
 
securities is recognised
 
on the Group
 
balance sheet amongst
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Securities lending
 
and securities
 
borrowing transactions
 
that are
 
fully matched
 
by cash
 
are assimilated
 
to
repurchase and reverse
 
repurchase agreements
 
and are recorded
 
and recognised as
 
such in the
 
balance
sheet.
With securities
 
lending and
 
repurchase agreements,
 
the Group
 
remains exposed
 
to issuer
 
default (credit
risk) and to increases or
 
decreases of securities value
 
(market risk). The underlying
 
securities cannot sim-
ultaneously be used as collateral in other transactions.

NOTE 3.12. – OFFSETTING FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL
 
LIABILITIES
 
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
A financial asset and a
 
financial liability are offset and the net
 
amount presented on the balance sheet
 
when
the Group has a legally
 
enforceable right to set
 
off the recognised
 
amounts and intends either
 
to settle the
asset and liability on a
 
net basis, or to realise the
 
asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legal right
to set
 
off the
 
recognised amounts
 
must be
 
enforceable in
 
all circumstances,
 
in both
 
the normal
 
course of
business and in the event of default of one of
 
the counterparties. In this respect, the Group recognises in its
balance sheet the net amount of derivative
 
financial instruments traded with certain
 
clearing houses where
they achieve net settlement through
 
a daily cash margining process,
 
or where their gross settlement
 
system
has features that eliminate or result
 
in insignificant credit and liquidity risk,
 
and that process receivables and
payables in a single settlement process or cycle.
As at December 31,
 
2023, and December
 
31, 2022, there is
 
no impact due to
 
offsetting of financial
 
assets
and liabilities in the Group’s balance sheet.

NOTE 4 – OTHER ACTIVITIES
NOTE 4.1. - FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Fee income
 
and
Fee expense
 
combine fees on services rendered and received, as well as
 
fees on commit-
ments that cannot be assimilated to interest. Fees that can be assimilated to interest are integrated into the
effective
 
interest
 
rate on
 
the
 
associated
 
financial
 
instrument
 
and
 
are recorded
 
under
Interest
 
and
 
similar
income
 
and
Interest and similar expense
 
(see Note 3.8).
Transactions
 
with banks
 
includes the
 
fees that
 
relates to
 
banking services
 
such as
 
brokerage fees,
 
inter-
change fees, account management fees or fiduciary fee income
 
if the counterparty is a bank.
Transactions with customers
 
includes the fees from customers from the
 
Group banking activities (in partic-
ular,
 
brokerage fees,
 
account management
 
fees, fiduciary
 
fee income
 
if the
 
counterparty
 
is not
 
a bank
 
or
structuring fees outside the effective interest rate).
 
Financial instruments operations gather specific services
 
on financial instruments and
 
are not directly linked
to client account management.
In particular, the remuneration
 
of issuance and structuration is composed by 2 distinct
 
services:
-
The
 
issuing
 
upfront
 
fee
 
for
 
the
 
initiation
 
and
 
structuration
 
of
 
the
 
operation
 
(thereafter
 
issuing
 
upfront
fee);
-
The account and security servicing during the lifecycle of
 
the security (thereafter security servicing fee),
accrued on a monthly basis.
Sundry services
 
provided includes
 
the fees
 
from customers
 
from the
 
other Group
 
activities (in
 
particular,
interchange fees, funds management fees or fees on insurance
 
products sold within the network).
The Group recognises fee income or expense for an amount
 
equivalent to the remuneration for the service
provided and depending on the progress transferring control
 
of these services:
-
fees for ongoing
 
services, such as
 
some payment services, custody
 
fees, or digital
 
service subscriptions
are recognised as income over the life of the service;
 
-
fees for
 
one-off
 
services,
 
such as
 
fund activity,
 
finder’s fees
 
received, arbitrage
 
fees, or
 
penalties
 
on
payment incidents are recognised as income when the
 
service is provided.
The amount equivalent to the remuneration for the service provided is composed of fixed and variable
 
con-
tractual compensation
 
whether they
 
are paid
 
in kind
 
or in
 
cash, less
 
any payments
 
due to
 
customers (for
example, in case
 
of promotional
 
offers). The
 
variable compensation
 
(for example,
 
discounts based
 
on the
provided services volume over
 
a period of
 
time or fees payable
 
subject to the achievement
 
of a performance
target, etc.) are included in the amount equivalent to the remuneration for the service provided if and only if
this compensation is highly probable not to be subsequently reduced
 
significantly.
The possible mismatch between the payment
 
date of the service provided and
 
the date of execution of the
service gives contract assets and contract liabilities depending
 
on the type of contract and mismatch which
are recognized under
Other Assets
 
and
Other Liabilities
 
(see Note 4.4):
 
-
customer contracts generate trade receivables, accrued
 
income or prepaid income;
-
supplier contracts generate trade payables, accrued expenses
 
or prepaid expenses.

NOTE 4.3. – INSURANCE ACTIVITIES
Insurance activities (non-life insurance for SG Luxembourg)
 
add to the range of pro-
ducts included in the banking services offered to Group
 
customers.
These activities are carried out by dedicated subsidiaries,
 
subject to regulations speci-
fic to the insurance sector.
The rules for measuring and accounting for risks associated
 
with insurance contracts
are specific to the Insurance sector.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Insurance contracts subject
 
to IFRS 17 “Insurance
 
Contracts” are insurance
 
contracts issued, reinsurance
contracts issued (reinsurance
 
assumed) or held
 
(reinsurance ceded), as
 
well as
 
investment contracts issued
including a
 
discretionary participation
 
clause provided
 
that they
 
are issued
 
by an
 
entity which
 
also issues
insurance contracts.
The accounting principles below do
 
not apply to the insurance contracts
 
for which the Group is the insured
beneficiary except for the contracts identified as reinsurance
 
treaties.
 
Investment
 
contracts
 
without
 
discretionary
 
participation
 
features
 
and
 
with
 
no
 
insurance
 
component
(pure unit-linked contracts) do not meet the IFRS 17 definition of an
 
insurance contract and are recognised
as Financial liabilities measured at fair value
 
through profit or loss (not applicable to
 
the Group). These are
financial
 
liabilities
 
indexed
 
on
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
underlying
 
assets
 
for
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
elected
 
to
exercise the option to measure the
 
instruments at fair value without requiring
 
the separation of the embed-
ded derivatives.
GROUPING OF CONTRACTS
For their assessment, insurance contracts
 
are grouped into homogeneous portfolios
 
to take account of the
pooling of risks
 
specific to the
 
insurance activity.
 
These portfolios
 
include insurance
 
contracts that
 
are ex-
posed to similar risks and managed together.
Within each portfolio, three groups of contracts shall be distinguished on initial recognition of the later: one-
rous contracts,
 
contracts with
 
no significant
 
possibility of
 
becoming subsequently
 
onerous, and
 
other con-
tracts.
Lastly,
 
contracts
 
issued more
 
than one
 
year
 
apart cannot
 
be included
 
in the
 
same group.
 
Consequently,
each group of contracts shall be subdivided into annual cohorts. However,
 
while adopting IFRS 17, the Eu-
ropean Union
 
has provided
 
European undertakings
 
with an
 
option not
 
to implement
 
this provision
 
to con-
tracts
 
benefiting
 
from
 
an
 
intergenerational
 
mutualisation
 
of
 
returns
 
on
 
the
 
underlying
 
assets
 
in
 
countries
where these undertakings market insurance contracts.
The
 
Group
 
uses
 
this
 
optional
 
exemption
 
on
 
the
 
life-insurance
 
savings
 
and
 
retirement
 
savings
 
contracts
issued as
 
they
 
include
 
direct
 
or discretionary
 
profit-sharing
 
items
 
for which
 
both
 
risks
 
and cashflows
 
are
shared between different generations of policyholders. These savings life-insurance
 
contracts are also ma-
naged on an intergenerational basis in order to mitigate interest
 
rate risk and longevity risk exposures.
 
The portfolios of contracts
 
are determined by the
 
Group, using
(i)
 
the product line
 
to identify the insurance
contracts
 
exposed
 
to
 
similar
 
risks
 
and
(ii)
 
the
 
country
 
of
 
issuance
 
of
 
the
 
contract
 
and/or
 
the
 
distribution
entity.
When the materiality of the outstanding amounts of the contracts concerned is not significant in the context
of
 
the
 
aggregates
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
consolidated
 
balance
 
sheet,
 
some
 
of
 
these
 
portfolios
 
may
 
be
 
grouped
together.

MEASUREMENT MODELS
Each group of insurance contracts
 
is measured separately,
 
and its value is presented in
 
the balance sheet
either under Insurance and reinsurance contract assets
 
or under Insurance and reinsurance contract liabil-
ities.
General model applicable to the insurance contracts
 
issued
Initial measurement
 
Upon initial recognition,
 
the value
 
of a
 
group of
 
insurance contracts
 
issued corresponds
 
to the sum
 
of the
following items:

doc1p137i0
Future estimated cash flows
These cash flows
 
are the current
 
estimates of
 
all the amounts
 
that the insurer
 
expects to receive
 
(for pre-
miums) or pay
 
to the benefit
 
of insurance policyholders
 
(in relation to
 
life insurance, claims
 
to be compen-
sated, guaranteed
 
benefits and
 
other directly
 
attributable expenses)
 
as part
 
of the
 
fulfilment of
 
insurance
contracts, until their settlement.
These amounts are adjusted to reflect:
◾
the present value of
 
the future cash flows
 
taking into account the
 
time value of money
 
and the financial
risks related to the future cash flows (see
Discounting
),
◾
the uncertainties
 
about the
 
amount and
 
frequency
 
of the
 
cash flows
 
(see
Adjustment for
 
non-financial
risk
).
Discounting
The future cash flows estimated are
 
discounted using a risk-free
 
yield curve (swap rate curve) adjusted
 
for
an illiquidity
 
premium to
 
represent the
 
differences
 
in
 
characteristics
 
between the
 
liquid, risk
 
-free financial
instruments and the financial instruments backed insurance contracts
 
(bottom-up approach).
Adjustment for non-financial risk
The discounted cash flows
 
are adjusted to reflect
 
the uncertainties about the
 
amount and frequency
 
of the
future cash flows. This adjustment for non-financial risks is determined using a quantile approach based on
a confidence level estimated between 80% and 90% for
 
Protection business.
The calculation
 
method of
 
the adjustment
 
for non-financial
 
risks ignores
 
the diversification
 
effect between
the different insurance activities.
 
Contractual service margin (CSM)
The contractual
 
service margin
 
(CSM) represents
 
the
 
unearned profit
 
that the
 
entity
 
will recognise
 
in the
income statement as the insurance services are provided in the future. Its amount is determined at the time
of initial recognition of the group of insurance
 
contracts so that, at that date, neither
 
income nor expense is

recorded in
 
the income
 
statement. In
 
the event
 
of onerous
 
contracts, the
 
expected loss
 
shall immediately
be recognised in profit or loss. This initial loss will later be reversed in profit or loss to
 
offset the expense for
incurred claims.
Subsequent measurement
 
On each closing date, the carrying
 
amount in the balance
 
sheet of the group of insurance
 
contracts issued
is remeasured. It is then equal to the sum of the following
 
amounts:
 
◾
the liability for remaining coverage (LRC), for an amount equal to the
 
reestimated value as at the date of
the fulfilment cash flows related to future services (discounted value of the amounts receivable and pay-
able related to the supply of insurance services on the
 
remaining coverage period and the deposit com-
ponents) and,
 
when appropriate,
 
the contractual
 
service margin
 
reestimated on
 
the same
 
date as
 
de-
scribed below;
◾
the liability for
 
incurred claims (LIC),
 
for an amount
 
equal to the
 
reestimated value as
 
at the date
 
of the
fulfilment
 
cash
 
flows
 
related
 
to
 
past
 
services
 
(discounted
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
amounts
 
payable
 
in
 
relation
 
to
services on already incurred claims).
 
Income and
 
expense are
 
recognised for
 
the changes
 
in liabilities
 
for remaining
 
coverage and
 
for incurred
claims, as summarised below:

On this same closing date, the

◾
the impact of the new contracts added to the Group;
◾
the interest capitalised
 
on the carrying

The contractual service
 
margin is not
 
adjusted for the
 
following changes in
 
cash flows as
 
they are not
 
related
to future services:
◾
inclusion of the impacts (and changes
 
in them) of the time value of
 
money and the financial risk (for
 
ex-
ample, the impact of a change in the discounting rate);
◾
changes in estimates of the fulfilment cash flows of liabilities
 
for incurred claims;

experience
 
(difference
 
between
 
the
 
estimate
 
of
 
the

Protection-Provident business
The Group mainly applies the
 
General Model to measure its Protection-Provident contracts (borrower insur-
ance, funeral, dependency contracts…).
The Group will
 
apply the General
 
Model to
 
measure its
 
provident contracts.
 
This approach
 
will be applied
on the reinsurance subsidiaries (Société Générale Luxembourg Ré S.A. and Société Générale Ré
 
S.A.), as
well as on credit insurance subsidiary (Société Générale Luxembourg
 
Credit Insurance S.A.).
For the Protection –
 
Provident business, the
 
insured value (for example
 
the outstanding capital
 
of the loan
in the context of
 
a borrower contract) is
 
used to measure the
 
quantity of service (or
 
coverage units) provided
or to be provided, in
 
order to recognise a portion
 
of the contractual service margin
 
in the net income of
 
the
period.
General Model adapted to the
 
insurance contracts issued with direct participation features
 
(Variable
Fee Approach)
Insurance contracts
 
issued with
 
direct participation
 
features may
 
be regarded
 
as creating
 
an obligation
 
to
pay to policyholders an amount
 
equal to the fair value
 
of the underlying items (for
 
example, investments in
units of funds), minus a variable fee for the service.
The variable fee:
 
a)
 
represents the counterparty that a company receives to
 
provide investment services;
b)
 
is based
 
on the
 
portion of
 
the performance
 
of the
 
underlying items
 
that varies
 
over time.
 
Conse-
quently,
 
the variable fee
 
reflects the performance
 
of the underlying
 
items and the
 
other cash flows
necessary for the fulfilment of the contracts.
The general accounting model
 
is adapted to reflect
 
that the consideration
 
received for this type
 
of contract
is a variable fee (Variable
 
Fee Approach - VFA).
This adaptation of
 
the general accounting
 
model is used
 
to measure the
 
groups of insurance
 
contracts for
which:
◾
the contractual clauses specify
 
that the policy holder is
 
entitled to a portion of
 
a clearly defined portfolio
of underlying items;
◾
the entity expects
 
to pay to
 
the policyholder
 
an amount equal
 
to a substantial
 
share of the
 
yield on the
fair value of the underlying items; and
 
◾
the entity expects any
 
change in the amounts
 
payable to the
 
shareholder to be attributable,
 
substantially,
to a change in fair value of the underlying items.
Eligibility
 
to this
 
measurement
 
model
 
is analysed
 
on
 
the
 
issuance

◾
during the initial measurement, the contractual service

General Model adapted to the reinsurance contracts
 
held
Following
 
the
 
issuance
 
of insurance
 
contracts,
 
some
 
risks
 
may be
 
ceded
 
to another
 
insurance company
through reinsurance contracts.
The general
 
accounting model
 
is adapted
 
to take
 
account of
 
the specificities
 
of the
 
reinsurance contracts
held.
 
These
 
reinsurance
 
contracts
 
held
 
are
 
booked
 
under
 
the
 
General
 
Model,
 
modified
 
on
 
the
 
following
features:
Estimate
 
of
 
the
 
fulfilment
cash flows
 
The fulfilment
 
cash
 
flows take
 
into account
 
the risk
 
of non-fulfilment
 
by
the issuer
 
of the
 
reinsurance contract
 
(i.e. the
 
risk of
 
not recovering
 
the
expected compensation in the event of default of the reinsurer).
Measurement of the
 
contrac-
tual service margin
 
during ini-
tial recognition
Any net cost or profit determined at initial
 
recognition (determined based
on the estimated amount of premiums payable, expenses to be paid and
compensations
 
to
 
be
 
received)
 
is
 
recognised
 
as
 
a
 
contractual
 
service
margin.
Measurement of the
 
contrac-
tual
 
service
 
margin
 
in
 
the
context
 
of
 
onerous
 
under-
lying contracts
 
The contractual service margin is adjusted, and an income is recognised
accordingly, when
 
a loss is recognised at
 
initial recognition of a group
 
of
onerous underlying
 
insurance contracts
 
or when
 
onerous underlying
 
in-
surance contracts are added to the group.
Simplified model (Premium Allocation Approach)
The standard
 
also allows,
 
under some
 
conditions, for
 
the application
 
of a
 
simplified accounting
 
model for
the contracts whose
 
insurance coverage
 
is lower or
 
equal to 12
 
months, or for
 
which the measurement
 
of
the Group’s remaining
 
coverage liabilities determined
 
using this approach is
 
not significantly different
 
from
the one that would result from the application of the general
 
model.
The remaining coverage liabilities presented on the balance
 
sheet corresponds to:
◾
the amount of
 
premium received
 
under the contract
 
adjusted for the
 
amounts recognised
 
as insurance
contracts income as the company provides the insurance coverage;
◾
minus the remaining depreciable acquisition costs paid.
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023

If a
 
group of
 
contracts is
 
onerous, the
 
remaining coverage
 
liability is
 
increased up
 
to the
 
estimated future
fulfilment cash flows and a loss is recognised in the income
 
statement.
The
 
incurred
 
claim
 
liability
 
is
 
measured
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
general
 
model.
 
The
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
discount
 
the
liability when it expects the claims to be settled within one
 
year.
 
The simplified approach does not require:
◾
an explicit measurement of the contractual service margin;
◾
an update of the remaining coverage liability for the changes
 
in discount rate and financial variables.
Protection – non-life insurance activity
The
 
Group
 
mostly
 
applies
 
the
 
simplified
 
approach
 
to
 
measure
 
its
 
non-life
 
insurance
 
contracts
 
(personal
injuries, means of payment, multi-risk home insurance…).
PRESENTATION
 
OF THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF INSURANCE
 
CONTRACTS
 
Expenses and income relating to insurance contracts are
 
presented in the income statement, distinguishing
between:
◾
the income arising from insurance services which includes:
 
-
 
income from insurance contracts issued;
-
 
insurance services expenses;
-
 
net income or expenses from the reinsurance contracts
 
held;
◾
the financial result of the insurance and reinsurance contracts.
Income from insurance contracts issued
 
The revenues
 
from insurance
 
contracts represent
 
the consideration
 
that the
 
insurance subsidiary
 
expects
to receive (representative of the premium received) against the
 
services provided under the contracts.
The revenues recognised for the period include the amount representative of the premium received as cov-
erage of the
 
insurance service expenses and
 
the margin expected in
 
relation to the services
 
provided during
the period.
Many insurance contracts providing
 
investment services include a
 
deposit component, which is an
 
amount
paid by the policyholder and repaid by the insurer even when the insured event does not take place. These
deposit components are excluded from the income statement, as the collection and repayment of a deposit
are not, respectively,
 
an income and an expense.
 
Insurance services expenses
Insurance services expenses
 
reflect thecosts incurred
 
to provide services
 
over the period,
 
including those
associated with the claims incurred, and excluding the
 
deposit component.
The expenses
 
recorded
 
over
 
the period
 
include
 
the
 
insurance
 
services
 
expenses
 
related to
 
the
 
services
provided for the
 
incurred claims
 
during the current
 
or past periods
 
and other
 
amounts such as
 
the amorti-
sation of the insurance acquisition costs, the costs on
 
onerous contracts and their reversals.
Income and expenses of the reinsurance contracts
 
held.
Income and expenses are representative of the amounts recovered
 
from reinsurers and of the allocation of
the premiums paid for this coverage.

The fulfilment
 
cash flows
 
and contractual
 
service margin
 
are booked
 
on a
 
discounted basis
 
reflecting the
frequency of
 
cash flows.
 
Over time,
 
the effect
 
of the
 
time value
 
of money
 
decreases, which
 
is reflected
 
in
the
 
income
 
statement
 
as
 
an
 
insurance
 
financial
 
expense
 
(the
 
present
 
value
 
of
 
future
 
disbursements
 
in-
creases). Indeed,
 
the financing
 
costs (financial
 
expenses
 
of the
 
contracts) of
 
insurance are
 
similar to
 
the
interest paid on
 
an early payment
 
(in the form
 
of a premium)
 
and reflect the
 
fact that policyholders
 
usually
pay the premiums in advance and receive benefits
 
at a later date.
Finance income
 
or expenses
 
from insurance
 
also include
 
the effects
 
on the carrying
 
amount of
 
insurance
contracts of some changes in financial assumptions (namely
 
discount rate and other financial variables).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Group
 
decided
 
to
 
present
 
the
 
Notes
 
detailing
 
the
 
financial
 
data
 
of the
 
insurance
 
subsidiaries
 
distin-
guishing
 
between
 
the
 
data
 
attributed
 
to
 
the
 
insurance
 
contracts
 
within
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
IFRS
 
17
 
(col-
umns headed Insurance contracts)
 
including the
 
measurement of
 
these contracts and
 
the investments back-
ing them. These data also
 
distinguish between the insurance
 
contracts issued with
 
direct participation fea-
tures measured using the VFA
 
model and their underlying investments.
The financial data of
 
the investment contracts
 
without participation features
 
and without insurance
 
compo-
nent (contracts within
 
the scope of
 
IFRS 9) as
 
well as all
 
financial instruments that are
 
not backing insurance
contracts within the scope of IFRS 17
 
(ex: financial instruments negotiated in
 
the context of the investment
of equity) are presented separately from the other financial
 
data in the Others column.
As a
 
reminder,
 
on the
 
transition
 
date of
 
1 January
 
2022, the
 
Group
 
applied a
 
modified retrospective
 
ap-
proach for the measurement of savings life insurance contracts.
The future
 
cash
 
flows of
 
the
 
assets
 
and

of
 
the

assets
 
and

are
 
dis-
counted using a risk-free

Follow-up of cumulative amounts included in OCI for debt instruments underlying with direct partici-
pation contracts present on the date of transition
The
 
Group
 
elected,
 
for
 
the
 
groups
 
of
 
contracts
 
with
 
direct
 
participation
 
features,
 
to
 
recognise
 
in
 
the
 
Net
income of
 
the period
 
the financial
 
income or
 
expenses
 
that eliminate
 
accounting
 
mismatches with
 
the in-
come or
 
expenses
 
recognised
 
in
 
the Net
 
income
 
for the
 
underlying
 
items
 
held.
 
Consequently,
 
insurance
subsidiaries directly recognise in equity the difference between the total financial income or expenses to be
booked for
 
the period
 
for the
 
contracts with
 
direct participation
 
features and
 
the amount
 
recognised in
 
the
Net income to eliminate an accounting mismatch.
The table below shows the
 
changes in cumulative amount
 
of the financial income
 
and expenses related to
insurance activities recognised directly in equity in relation to the contracts with direct participation
 
features
identified as
 
at 1
 
January 2022

BENE-
FITS
MAKING
IT
SIMPLE
Employee benefits correspond to the compensation
 
granted by the Group to its employees
 
in
exchange for work carried out during the annual reporting
 
period.
All forms of compensation for work rendered are recorded
 
in the expenses:
-
 
whether paid to employees or to external social security
 
agencies,
-
 
whether paid during
 
the annual reporting
 
period or
 
to be paid
 
by the Group
 
in the
 
future
as entitlements to employees (pension plans, retirement benefits…).
-
 
whether paid in cash or in shares of Société Générale
 
S.A.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Employee benefits are divided into four categories:
 
◾
Short-term employee benefits which
 
are employee benefits
 
expected to be settled
 
wholly before twelve
months after the
 
end of the
 
annual reporting period
 
in which the
 
employees render
 
the related service,
such as fixed and variable compensation, annual leave, taxes
 
and social security contributions, manda-
tory employer contributions and profit-sharing;
 
◾
Post-employment benefits, including defined contributions plans and defined benefit
 
plans such as pen-
sion plans and retirement benefits;
 
◾
Long-term
 
employee
 
benefits
 
which
 
are
 
employee
 
benefits
 
not
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
settled
 
wholly
 
before
twelve months, such as defined
 
variable compensation paid in cash
 
and not indexed to the
 
Group share,
long service awards and time saving accounts;
 
◾
Termination
 
benefits.

1. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Post-employment benefits
 
can be
 
broken down
 
into two
 
categories: defined
 
contribution pension
 
plans or
defined benefit pension plans.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
Defined contribution plans limit the Group’s liability to the subscriptions paid into the plan but do
 
not commit
the Group to
 
a specific level
 
of future benefits.
 
Contributions paid are
 
recorded as an
 
expense for the
 
current
year.
DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
Defined benefit plans
 
commit the Group,
 
either formally or
 
constructively,
 
to pay a
 
certain amount or
 
level
of future benefits and therefore bare the associated medium
 
or long-term risk.
Provisions are recognised
 
on the liabilities
 
side of the
 
balance sheet under
Provisions
, to cover
 
the whole
of these retirement
 
obligations. These provisions are
 
assessed regularly by independent
 
actuaries using the
projected unit credit method. This
 
valuation technique incorporates assumptions about demographics, early
retirement, salary rises and discount and inflation rates.
 
The Group previously chose to finance
 
defined benefit plans through assets
 
held by a long-term employee
benefit fund or
 
by qualifying
 
insurance policies.
 
Since then, the
 
Group transferred
 
employees to a
 
defined
contributions plan on voluntary basis.
 
Funding
 
assets,
 
made
 
by
 
funds
 
are
 
classified
 
as
 
plan
 
assets
 
if
 
assets
 
are
 
held
 
by
 
a
 
fund
 
that
 
is
 
legally
separate from the reporting entity and are available to be used
 
only to pay employee benefits.
When these plans are financed
 
from extrernal funds classified
 
as plan assets, the fair value
 
of these funds
is substracted from the provision to cover obligations.
Differences
 
arising
 
from
 
changes
 
in
 
calculation
 
assumptions
 
(early
 
retirements,
 
discount
 
rates,
 
etc.)
 
and
differences
 
between
 
actuarial
 
assumptions
 
and
 
real
 
performance
 
are
 
recognised
 
as
 
actuarial
 
gains
 
and
losses. Actuarial gains and losses, as well
 
as the return on plan assets
 
excluding amounts expensed as net
interest on
 
the net
 
defined benefit
 
liability (or
 
asset) and
 
any change
 
in the
 
effect
 
of the
 
asset ceiling
 
are
components used to re-measure the net
 
defined benefit liability (or asset).
 
These components are immedi-
ately and fully recognised in shareholder’s equity
 
among Unrealised or deferred gains and
 
losses and they
cannot be subsequently reclassified as income.
In
 
the
 
Group
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
these
 
items
 
that
 
cannot
 
be
 
subsequently
 
reclassified
 
as
income are displayed separately
 
in the Statement of
 
net income and unrealised
 
or deferred gain and
 
losses,
but are transferred immediately to retained earnings in the Statement of changes in shareholder’s equity so
that they are presented directly under Retained earnings
 
on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.
Where a
 
new or
 
amended
 
plan comes
 
into force,
 
past service
 
cost is
 
immediately
 
recognised in
 
profit or
loss.
An annual charge is recorded under Personnel expenses
 
for defined benefit plans consisting of:
◾
the additional entitlements vested by each employee (current
 
service cost);
◾
past service cost resulting from a plan amendment or a curtailment;
◾
the financial expense
 
resulting from the discount
 
rate and the
 
interest income on plan
 
assets (net interest
on the net defined benefit liability or asset);
◾
plan settlements.

POST-EMPLOYMENT DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
Plans' provisions and assumptions
The defined
 
contribution
 
plans
 
provided
 
to
 
employees
 
of the
 
Group
 
are located
 
in Luxembourg,
 
Monaco
and Switzerland. The following disclosures are
 
provided only for the main
 
retirement plans of the Group:
 
the
Luxembourg
 
plan
 
in
 
place
 
at
 
Société
 
Générale
 
Luxembourg
 
S.A.and
 
the
 
Swiss
 
plan
 
in
 
place
 
at
 
Société
Générale Private Banking Suisse S.A. (“SGPB Suisse”).
The Luxembourg retirement plan provisions
The Group offers
 
a supplemental defined
 
benefit retirement plan
 
to all
 
eligible employees at
 
its headquarters
in Luxembourg.
Under the defined benefit retirement plan, payment of
 
a supplementary pension to the Luxembourg govern-
ment pension starting
 
from age 65
 
is planned. The
 
goal of the
 
business pension plan is
 
to grant, for
 
35 years
of service, benefits equal to approximately 60% of salary at retirement, including Luxembourg
 
Social Secu-
rity.
More specifically,
 
for 35
 
years of
 
service in
 
the company,
 
the retirement
 
benefit will
 
be equal
 
to 8.33%
 
of
the portion of the final pensionable salary,
 
limited to the pension ceiling plus 62.5% of the final pensionable
salary that surpasses
 
this ceiling. The
 
salary used for
 
calculation purposes is
 
the annual base
 
salary.
 
The
pension benefit is a planned joint and survivor annuity
 
of 60% to the survivor after retirement.
The plan allows
 
for payment of
 
capital instead of
 
the planned supplemental retirement
 
annuity. By its nature,
this defined benefit retirement plan exposes SG Luxembourg to certain associated actuarial
 
risks*, such as
investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity,
 
inflation and the effect of an increase in payroll.
The risks defined below are applicable for all plans defined
 
among the Group:
*Those risks are applicable to all pension plan of the Group.
Invest-
ment risk
The present value of the defined benefit commitment is calculated using a discount rate determined by
reference to the interest rates of the highest-quality corporate bonds. If the return on plan assets is be-
low this rate, this will create a plan deficit. The plan assets are limited to those of a reduced insurance
group that benefits from a guaranteed return from an insurer.
 
Interest
rate risk
A decline in interest rates for bonds will increase the plan's commitments.
Longevity
risk
The present value of the pension commitment is calculated taking into account the estimated mortality
tables. The objective being to best reflect the mortality of the pension plan's participants. However, an
increase in the life expectancy of participants will increase the plan's commitments.
 
Risk of
payroll
growth
The present value of the pension commitment is calculated under the assumption that the pension
plan's participants' salaries will increase. Any future increase that is greater than the estimate will in-
crease the plan's commitments.
 
Inflation
risk
The inflation rate directly affects the changes in payrolls and the pension ceiling. An increase in the in-
flation rate will cause an increase in the current value of the pension commitments.
 
Risks related to benefits
 
paid to beneficiaries in
 
the event of the
 
death of a plan
 
participant before retirement
age is insured by an insurance company.

The Swiss retirement plan provisions
The plan provisions detailed were effective from January
 
1, 2011.
All employees aged at least 18 with an indefinite working contract
 
beyond 3 months are eligible.
For death and
 
disability benefits, participation starts at
 
hire date, but
 
not before 1st of
 
January following 17th
birthday. For retirement
 
and termination benefits, participation starts
 
at hire date, but not before 1st
 
of Jan-
uary following 22nd birthday.
The participant has the option of electing to take all
 
the benefit as a pension payable monthly or electing
 
to
take part or all of the benefit as a lump sum.
Annual pension is payable monthly (if
 
married or have a registered
 
partner, 60% J&S
 
annuity and if single,
life annuity):
 
Accrued Retirement
 
Savings Capital
 
converted to
 
annuity using
 
conversion rates,
 
varying by
portion of benefit associated with BVG
 
(Survivors’, disability and pension plan) minimum benefit
 
and portion
of benefit in excess of BVG minimum benefit.
Lump sum: Accrued Retirement Savings Capital.
The plan must be financed.
The components of the overall contribution include the
 
cost of:
◾
retirement benefits;
◾
risk benefits (death, disability), including cost-of-living
 
adjustments;
◾
payments to the Guarantee Fund;
◾
administrative costs.

The discount rate used as at December 31, of the year in question is based on
 
the yield curve for corporate
bonds rated AA. The discount rate is determined by Société
 
Générale Central (Risk Department).
 
This curve is observed in October via the Merrill Ly
 
nch Index.
IAS19 requires
 
taking
 
the same
 
rate for
 
the expected
 
return. The
 
inflation rates
 
used are
 
in line
 
with the
long-term objectives of the central banks of the Euro zone.
The cost of services
 
rendered and the
 
net interest on
 
net liabilities (assets)
 
are reported under
 
“Personnel
expenses” in profit or loss.
Following
 
the
 
adoption
 
of IAS
 
19R,
 
the
 
“corridor”
 
method
 
is no

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Actuarial assumptions which are
 
significant in determining pension
 
commitments are: discount rates,
 
infla-
tion and future payroll growth.
The calculation's sensitivity to
 
these individual key assumptions
 
was analyzed on
 
the date of the
 
calculation,
i.e. December 31, 2023, using the same projection method (projected
 
unit credit method).
The impact
 
of each
 
individual assumption is
 
not representative
 
of the
 
potential impact
 
of a
 
sensitivity analysis

LUXEMBOURG’S PLAN FINANCING
Luxembourg
 
law
 
does
 
not
 
require
 
companies
 
to
 
outsource
 
pension
 
obligations
 
to
 
a
 
pension
 
fund
 
or
 
an
insurance group.
The Group's retirement plan is
 
funded directly by the payment
 
of benefits when they become
 
due. In order
to provide
 
the benefits
 
expected, the
 
Group recognizes
 
accounting reserves
 
in consolidated
 
statement of
financial position liabilities.
 
The retirement plan can
 
be considered as an
 
internally-funded retirement plan.
Pension plan liabilities are recognized in
 
the consolidated balance sheet of the
 
company while pension plan
assets are included
 
in the assets
 
used in the
 
company's business
 
activities. Should the
 
company become
insolvent, a mechanism to protect pension rights is provided through insolvency insurance
 
with the German
pension security fund (“Pensionssicherungsverein”
 
- PSV).
 
Finally, for
 
staff hired before
 
1997, a small part
 
of the retirement obligation
 
is funded in a former
 
insurance
group that no longer receives additional inflows of contributions. There is also
 
a reduced hedging insurance
reserve.

Treatment of entities that participate in the plan but are not part of SG LUXEMBOURG GROUP
For entities
 
that participate
 
in the
 
plan but
 
are not
 
part of
 
SG Luxembourg
 
Group, paragraphs
 
32 to
 
39 of
IAS 19R apply, and the
 
plan is treated as a multiemployer plan.
 
There are two possible scenarios, depending on whether the entity does or does not have sufficient data to
categories the plan in its books as a defined benefit or
 
defined contribution plan.
 
The number of employees
 
(active or retired) benefiting
 
from the plan in
 
each entity must
 
be considered as
a major
 
feature. In
 
fact, the
 
use of
 
projection techniques
 
(IAS 19R’s
 
projected unit
 
credit method)
 
and all
demographic parameters based on a small number of people cannot
 
give truly pertinent results and gener-
ates significant statistical volatility each time there is a change in personnel. In such
 
cases the results could
be considered insufficiently reliable.
 
Furthermore, some of these entities have an employee policy based on the use
 
of employees that stay with
the entity for
 
a short period
 
(four to five
 
years) and come from/return
 
to SG Luxembourg,
 
effectively resulting
in high
 
employee
 
turnover.
 
Similarly,
 
in
 
this context,
 
projecting these
 
employees’
 
compensation
 
over
 
the
long term
 
does not
 
make much
 
sense as,
 
by design,
 
they do
 
not remain
 
with the
 
company although
 
they
stay with the Group.
 
Within this framework, and in
 
order to prevent administrative
 
work that does not take
 
into account financial
challenges at the SG Luxembourg
 
Group level, these entities
 
treat this plan as a
 
defined benefit plan (par-
agraph 36) and pay
 
SG Luxembourg their share
 
of the total
 
annual cost of financing
 
the plan, proportional
to the percentage of total eligible
 
employees represented by the
 
entities’ employees, through a contractual
agreement.
The materiality
 
threshold has
 
been set
 
at 20
 
people (i.e.,
 
3% of
 
the total
 
number of
 
employees benefiting
from the plan) as defined with the actuary in charge of the work.
 
Treatment of entities that do not participate in the pension plan and employ staff from an affiliated entity
 
This occurs when SG Luxembourg
 
assigns its personnel to other
 
Société Générale Group entities. In
 
such
cases, employee entitlements in the pension plan are
 
maintained during their assignment period.
 
The
 
obligation
 
remains
 
with
 
the
 
original
 
affiliation
 
entity.
 
The
 
unaffiliated
 
entity,
 
to
 
which
 
an
 
employee
 
is
assigned, has no obligation, not even an implicit one, to the
 
defined benefit plan.
The
 
original
 
entity
 
therefore
 
invoices
 
the
 
expense
 
of
 
maintaining
 
the
 
employee’s
 
entitlements
 
under
 
the
supplementary pension plan to the entity
 
to which the employee is assigned,
 
as it does for other employee
benefits. Société Générale
 
has implemented a standard
 
reinvoicing contract that the
 
assigning entity must
use, filling out the appendices with the various benefits
 
due to the employee in question.
 
Accordingly, the accounting treatment used is the one used for intra-Group billing of
 
payroll expenses in the
entity to which an employee is assigned and for
 
defined benefits in the original entity. Income received from
each entity contributes to the financing of the plan at the
 
original entity.
 
For simplicity’s sake,
 
the invoicing principles
 
is based on
 
a fixed amount,
 
defined annually
 
in proportion to
the length
 
of time that
 
employees are
 
assigned to
 
an entity
 
and based on
 
the annual cost
 
of the plan
 
and
the percentage represented by assigned employees in
 
the total number of eligible employees in the plan.

Defined contribution plan
 
Starting in 2015, all new incoming
 
SG Luxembourg employees enroll in a defined
 
contribution pension plan.
Retirement capital
 
Retirement capital,
 
or Early Retirement
 
capital, is paid
 
to Plan Members
 
when they
 
retire at normal
 
retire-
ment age or when they take early retirement, respectively.
 
Plan Members have the option of taking all of the
 
benefit as a pension payable monthly or taking
 
part or all
of the benefit as a lump sum.
 
Death benefit
If a Plan Member
 
dies before retirement age, the retirement
 
savings at the time of
 
death are paid in
 
the form
of capital to the Beneficiaries designated in the event of death.
 
Employer contributions
 
Employer contriutions are calculated as follows:
 
2.5% S1 + 9% S2
 
Where:
 
◾
S1 represents the portion of
 
S below the annual cap on
 
contributions to Social Security
 
in force as
of the calculation date;
 
◾
S2 represents the portion of S which exceeds this cap;
 
◾
S represents January’s monthly salary x 13.
 
The employer contribution is multiplied by the percentage
 
of employee time as of the calculation date.
The employer contribution for
 
the year of enrolment
 
in the plan may be
 
paid, in accordance with
 
the plan’s
administrative provisions, in the year of enrolment or in the
 
following year.
 
Personal contributions
 
The Plan
 
Member may
 
elect to
 
contribute to
 
the Plan
 
and can
 
choose the
 
monthly or
 
annual contribution
amount at the time of enrolment.
 
Funding vehicle
The Plan
 
Member
 
may choose
 
from among
 
three
 
financial management
 
and
 
investment
 
formulas for
 
in-
vesting
 
the
 
investment
 
of
 
employer
 
contributions,
 
and
 
for
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
any
 
entitlements
 
resulting
 
from
employer contributions.
However, according
 
to current legal
 
provisions, personal contributions
 
may only be
 
invested in a fund
 
with
a guaranteed rate of return at
 
least equal to the rate set by
 
the Commissariat aux Assurances (Luxembourg
Insurance Commission).
Finance
The
 
company
 
guarantees
 
the
 
payment
 
of
 
benefits
 
and
 
contributions
 
provided
 
for
 
by
 
the
 
supplementary
pension plan.
To
 
accomplish this, the Company signed a group insurance
 
contract with the AXA insurance company.

2. LONG-TERM BENEFITS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Long-term
 
employee
 
benefits
 
are
 
benefits
 
other
 
than
 
post-employment
 
and
 
termination
 
benefits
 
that
 
are
paid to employees
 
more than twelve
 
months after the
 
end of the
 
annual period in
 
which they provided
 
the
related services.
Long-term benefits
 
are measured
 
and recognised
 
in the same
 
way as
 
post-employment benefits,
 
with the
exception of actuarial gains and losses, which are immediately recognised in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - JUBILEE AWARDS
Plans' provisions and assumptions
Disclosures are provided only for the two mains jubilee plans in
 
the Group: the Luxembourg plan in place at
Société Générale
 
Luxembourg S.A.,
 
and the
 
Swiss plan
 
in place
 
at Société
 
Générale Private
 
Banking Suisse
S.A.
 
SG Luxembourg Group employees are
 
entitled to a plan
 
that provides for a
 
jubilee award which is
 
a function
of their seniority in the Group.
 
The defined benefit obligation corresponding to this plan was estimated according to
 
the standard IAS 19R.
For this plan, the
 
actuarial gains and
 
losses are immediately
 
recognized in the
 
consolidated income state-
ment account.
 
The principal assumptions used for measuring the jubilee

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAX
MAKING IT
SIMPLE
Income tax expenses
 
are presented separately
 
from other taxes
 
which are classified
among Other operating expenses. They
 
are calculated according to the rates and
 
tax
regulations applicable in the countries where each consolidated
 
entity is located.
Income
 
tax
 
presented
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
includes
 
current
 
taxes
 
and
 
deferred
taxes:
-
 
current taxes correspond to the amount of taxes due (or refundable) as
 
calcu-
lated according to the taxable profit base for the reporting
 
period.
-
 
deferred taxes correspond to the amount of taxes resulting from past transac-
tions and that will be payable (or refundable) in a future reporting
 
period.
 
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
CURRENT TAXES
Current tax is
 
based on the
 
taxable profits of
 
each consolidated taxable entity
 
and determined in
 
accordance
with the rules
 
established by the
 
local taxation authorities,
 
upon which income
 
taxes are payable.
 
This tax
expense also includes net allowances for tax adjustments
 
pertaining to income tax.
Tax
 
credits arising in respect of interest from loans and income from securities
 
are recorded in the relevant
interest account
 
as they
 
are applied
 
in settlement
 
of income
 
taxes for
 
the year.
 
The related
 
tax charge
 
is
included under
Income tax
 
in the consolidated income statement.
DEFERRED TAXES
Deferred
 
taxes
 
are
 
recognised
 
whenever
 
the
 
Group
 
identifies
 
a
 
temporary
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
book
value and tax value of balance
 
sheet assets and liabilities that
 
will affect future tax
 
payments. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured in each consolidated taxable entity
 
considering rules established by the
local taxation authorities.
 
The amount is based on the tax rate enacted or substantively enacted which is expected to apply when the
asset is
 
realized or
 
the liability
 
settled. These
 
deferred
 
taxes are
 
adjusted in
 
the
 
event of
 
changes to
 
tax
rates. This amount is not discounted to present value.
Deferred tax assets can result from deductible temporary differences or from
 
tax loss carry forwards. These
deferred tax
 
assets are
 
recorded only
 
if the
 
entity concerned
 
is likely
 
to recover
 
these assets
 
within a
 
set
time. Temporary
 
differences
 
or tax
 
loss carry
 
forwards can
 
also be
 
used against
 
future taxable
 
profit. Tax

loss carry
 
forward review
 
taking
 
into account
 
the tax
 
system applicable
 
to each
 
relevant tax
 
entity
 
and a
realistic projection of their tax income or expense, based on their business development outlook: any previ-
ously unrecognized
 
deferred tax assets
 
are recorded
 
in the consolidated
 
statement of
 
financial position to
the extent it has become probable
 
that future taxable profit will allow the
 
deferred tax asset to be recovered;
however,
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
already
 
recognized
 
in
 
the
 
consolidated
 
statement
 
of
financial position is reduced where a risk of total or partial non-recovery
 
occurs.
Current and deferred taxes
 
are recognized in the consolidated
 
income statement under Income
 
Tax.
 
How-
ever, deferred
 
taxes related to gains
 
and losses recorded
 
under “Unrealized or
 
deferred gains and losses”
are also recognized under the same heading in the consolidated
 
statement of comprehensive income.
 
TAX INTEGRATION
Since financial
 
year
 
2005,
 
SG
 
Luxembourg
 
has
 
elected
 
to
 
be
 
considered
 
as
 
an
 
integrated
 
group
 
for
 
tax
purposes (intégration fiscale or tax integration).
As at December 31, 2023, 14 subsidiaries were
 
included in the group filing a consolidated return (202
 
2: 13
subsidiaries). In accordance
 
with a tax
 
integration agreement
 
entered into with
 
SG Luxembourg, some
 
af-
filiates recognize in
 
their financial statements the
 
tax which they
 
would have paid
 
had they not
 
been included
in SG Luxembourg's Group tax scope.
Tax
 
integration implies that the Head of the
 
tax group, Société Générale Luxembourg,
 
should be in charge
of income tax payment for the whole Group.
SG Luxembourg establishes its income
 
tax provisions (“Impôt sur le
 
revenu des collectivités” or “IRC”,
 
and
the “Impôt commercial communal” or
 
“ICC”) based on the taxable
 
income of the entire consolidated
 
group,
including its own revenue.
Tax
 
prepayments due by SG Luxembourg are also calculated on this basis and paid
 
by SG Luxembourg as
the lead company
 
of the integrated
 
group. Tax
 
are prepaid and
 
then, when the
 
right amount is
 
known, the
prepayment is netted with the definitive amount.
There is
 
no tax
 
filing integration
 
for wealth
 
tax. However,
 
in compliance
 
with existing
 
tax law,
 
SG Luxem-
bourg
 
sets
 
up,
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
some
 
affiliates,
 
a
 
special
 
reserve
 
for
 
the
 
purpose
 
of
 
charging
 
each
 
of
 
these
affiliates for
 
the wealth
 
tax. The
 
reserve thus
 
constituted for
 
each affiliate
 
is equal
 
to five
 
times the wealth
tax due in
 
principle by each
 
of the members
 
of the integrated
 
group and is
 
unavailable for
 
a period of
 
five
years.
The reserve for the wealth
 
tax charged to affiliates
 
is separate from the
 
tax expense reserve set
 
up for SG
Luxembourg’s own needs. The reserve is set up
 
each year and maintained for the specified legal
 
time limit
i.e. five years. The maximum amount of
 
wealth tax that can be charged by
 
affiliates and by SG Luxembourg
is determined by reference to the IRC payable by the integrated
 
group before the allocation of tax credits.
PROVISIONS FOR TAX
 
ADJUSTMENTS
Provisions for tax adjustments represent liabilities
 
whose timing or amount cannot be
 
precisely determined
and that are
 
adjusted throughout
 
time. The expected
 
outflows are then
 
discounted to present
 
value to de-
termine
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
provision,
 
where
 
this
 
discounting
 
has
 
a
 
significant
 
impact.
 
Allocations
 
to
 
and
reversals of provisions for tax
 
adjustments are booked to the
 
consolidated income statement under “Income
tax”.

TAX PROVISIONS
Provisions may be recorded:
◾
where, by virtue of a commitment to a third-party, the Group will probably or certainly incur an outflow of
resources to this third-party without receiving at least the
 
equivalent value in exchange;
◾
and when the amount of probable outflow of resources can be
 
reliably estimated.
Information on the nature
 
and the amount of
 
the associated risks is not
 
disclosed when the Group considers
that such
 
disclosure could
 
seriously undermine
 
its position
 
in a
 
dispute with
 
other parties
 
on the
 
object of
the provision.

PILLAR TWO: TAX
 
REFORM – GLOBAL MINIMUM TAX (“GloBE” Rules)
In October 2021, 137 of the 140 jurisdictions that are members of the Anti-Tax Fraud Strategy-Group of the
Organisation for
 
Economic Co-operation
 
and Development
 
(OECD) committed
 
to the principle
 
of establis-
hing a global minimum
 
corporate tax rate
 
of 15% on profits.
 
A regulatory model, referred
 
to as “Pillar Two”
or “Pillar
 
2” (or
 
“GloBE
 
rules”),
 
published by
 
the OECD
 
on 20
 
December
 
2021, specifies
 
the mechanism
which will
 
apply,
 
in the
 
States that
 
will adopt
 
it, to the
 
profits by
 
country of
 
multinational groups
 
with more
than EUR 750 million in revenues.
 
 
Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022 on
 
ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for
multinational enterprise groups and large-scale
 
domestic groups in the Union”, intended
 
to
 
implement that
in the EU, was adopted and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 December 2022.
 
The Luxembourg law of
 
22 December 2023 incorporates
 
the directive into Luxembourg
 
law. The
 
minimum
level of tax
 
will take the
 
form of Qualifying
 
Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (“
impôt national complémentaire
”)
determined according
 
to rules
 
compliant with
 
the directive.
 
The temporary
 
simplification rules
 
as provided
for by the OECD for the first three financial years are also included in the Luxembourg law. These
 
rules will
apply to the Group
 
from 31 December 2023, in
 
respect of any Qualifying
 
Domestic Minimum Top-up tax due
in Luxembourg.
 
Under the provisions
 
introduced by
 
the amendments
 
to IAS 12,
 
adopted by the
 
European Union
 
on 8 No-
vember 2023 with both
 
immediate and retrospective
 
implementation (see Note 1),
 
the Group applies, from
1 January 2023, the
 
mandatory and temporary exception to
 
the accounting recognition of
 
the deferred taxes
associated with the top-up taxes resulting from the
 
Pillar Two rules.
 
A project structure has been established, to analyse
 
the provisions of the Pillar Two European directive and
take the
 
appropriate measures
 
to comply
 
with them
 
as soon
 
as they
 
enter into
 
force. To
 
date, the
 
Group
does not anticipate
 
any material impact
 
of this reform
 
in respect of
 
its current tax
 
. Because of
 
the calculation
complexity resulting from these rules, the
 
effects of this reform are still
 
being examined for a first application
in the Group’s consolidated accounts as at 30
 
June 2024.

NOTE 7 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
MAKING
IT
SIMPLE
Equity are the
 
resources contributed
 
to the Group
 
by external shareholders
 
as capital, as
well
 
as
 
the
 
cumulative
 
and
 
undistributed
 
results
 
(retained
 
earnings).
 
It
 
also
 
includes
 
re-
sources received
 
when financial
 
instruments
 
are issued
 
and
 
for which
 
the issuer
 
has no
contractual obligation
 
to deliver
 
cash to
 
the holders
 
of these
 
instruments (such
 
as certain
perpetual subordinated notes).
Equity has no contractual maturity, and when compensation is awarded to shareholders or
holders
 
of
 
other
 
equity
 
instruments,
 
it
 
does
 
not
 
affect
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
but
 
directly
reduces the retained earnings in the equity.
 
The statement “Changes in Shareholders’ Equity” presents the various changes that affect
the components of equity over the reporting period.

LEGAL RESERVE
In accordance
 
with legal
 
requirements, 5%
 
of the
 
net income
 
for the
 
year must
 
be allocated
 
to a
 
legal re-
serve. This
 
allocation is
 
no longer
 
required once
 
this reserve
 
reaches 10%
 
of the
 
subscribed and
 
paid-up
share capital. The legal reserve cannot be used for dividend
 
payments.
As
 
at
 
December
 
31,
 
2023
 
and
 
December
 
31,
 
2022,
 
the
 
legal
 
reserve
 
reached
 
10%
 
of
 
the
 
capital
 
and
amounted to EUR thousand 138 905.

TAX REDUCTION
For the reporting

to 2023,
 
the Group
 
reduced its
 
Net Wealth
 
Tax
charge in accordance
 
with the tax
 
legislation; i.e. by
 
setting up an
 
unavailable reserve in
 
an amount equal
to five
 
times the
 
amount of
 
the Net
 
Wealth Tax
 
reduction. The
 
lock-in period
 
on this
 
reserve is
 
five years
starting on January 1, of the year following the year in
 
which the Net Wealth Tax
 
has been reduced.

NOTE 8 - ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES
NOTE 8.1. - SEGMENT REPORTING
1.
 
DEFINITION OF SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group
 
includes in
 
the results
 
of each
 
segment all
 
operating income
 
and expenses
 
directly related
 
to its
activity. Income for each segment,
 
except for the
 
Corporate Center, also includes the
 
return on equity
 
allocated
to it, based
 
on the estimated
 
rate of return
 
on Group equity.
 
Transactions
 
between segments are
 
carried out
under the same terms and conditions as those applying
 
to non-Group customers, while these transactions are
eliminated from segment assets and liabilities.
For the purpose of segment reporting by
 
geographical region, segment profit or loss
 
and assets and liabilities
are presented based on the location of the booking entities.
 
No revenue from transactions with
 
a single external customer or
 
counterparty amounted to 10% or more
 
of the
Group’s total revenue in 2023
 
or 2022.
In
 
2023
 
and
 
2022,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
core
 
businesses

CONTRIBUTION TO BANK RESOLUTION MECHANISMS
The European
 
Regulation UE

determined the
 
financing means
 
of resolution
mechanisms
 
within
 
the
 
European
 
Banking
 
Union through
 
the
 
establishment
 
of a
 
Single Resolution
 
Fund
(SRF), represented in Luxembourg by the
 
“Fonds de Résolution Luxembourgeois” (Luxembourg Resolution
Fund,
 
or
 
FRL).
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
this
 
instrument,
 
the
 
“Fonds
 
Nationaux
 
de
 
Résolution”
 
(National
 
Resolution
Funds) exists for institutions subject to this resolution mechanisms,
 
but that have no SRF.
SG Luxembourg also made its
 
contribution to the “Fonds de
 
Garantie des Dépôts Luxembourgeois” (FGDL)
over the course of 2022. For the
 
financial year of 2022, the contribution to
 
the FGDL is included in the same
account than the FRL amouting EUR 352 thousand broken down
 
as follows:
•
 
1st compartiment : EUR 95 thousand

NOTE 8.3. - PROVISIONS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 
Under statement of financial liabilities, Provisions are comprised of provisions for financial instruments, dis-
putes, employee benefits and income tax adjustments (only for
 
2018).
Provisions,
 
other
 
than
 
those
 
for
 
credit
 
risk
 
or
 
employee
 
benefits,
 
are
 
recognized
 
when
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
a
present obligation (legal, contractual or implicit) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow
of resources
 
embodying
 
economic
 
benefits will
 
be required
 
to settle
 
the
 
obligation.
 
Provisions
 
are deter-
mined based on
 
the best
 
estimate of the
 
expenditure required to
 
settle the obligation,
 
in application of
 
certain
assumptions.
 
Provisions
 
are
 
discounted
 
when
 
the
 
effect
 
of
 
the
 
time
 
value
 
of
 
money
 
is
 
material,
 
using
 
a
discount rate that
 
reflects current
 
market assessments
 
of the time
 
value of money.
 
Provisions are
 
booked
in profit and loss accounts according to the nature of the expenses.
Provisions include provisions for credit
 
risk related to guarantee commitments granted
 
to third parties by
 
the
Group and to
 
contingent liabilities whose
 
timing or amount
 
cannot be precisely
 
determined (primarily
 
legal
disputes and restructuring).
Probable
 
losses incurred
 
by the
 
Group in
 
identifying
 
objective
 
evidence
 
of credit
 
risk related
 
to
 
loan and
guarantee commitments are recorded in the consolidated
 
income statement of under Cost of risk against
 
a
liability booked under Provision in the consolidated statement of
 
financial position.
Provisions are presented in Note 5.7. Information relating to the nature and the
 
amount of the relevant risks
is not
 
disclosed if
 
the Group
 
considers that
 
it could
 
cause the
 
Group serious
 
harm in
 
a dispute
 
with third
parties on the matter covered by the provision.

Every quarter,
 
the Group
 
reviews
 
in detail
 
the disputes
 
presenting a
 
significant risk.
 
These disputes
 
may
lead to the recording
 
of a provision if
 
it becomes probable
 
or certain that the
 
Group will incur an
 
outflow of
resources for the benefit of
 
a third party without receiving
 
at least the equivalent value
 
in exchange. These
provisions

No detailed information can be disclosed on either the recording or the amount of a specific provision given
that such disclosure would likely seriously prejudice the
 
outcome of the disputes in question.
◾
On January 3, 2023, Société Générale Private Banking (Switzerland) (“SGPBS”) entered
 
into an agreement
to settle
 
litigation in
 
the United
 
States stemming
 
from the
 
Ponzi scheme
 
of Robert
 
Allen Stanford
 
and his
affiliates. On
 
February 21,
 
2023, the
 
US Receiver
 
and the
 
Official Stanford
 
Investors Committee
 
(“OSIC”)
filed
 
a
 
motion
 
in
 
US
 
District
 
Court
 
for
 
the
 
Northern
 
District
 
of
 
Texas
 
seeking
 
approval
 
of
 
the
 
settlement.
The settlement provides
 
for the
 
payment by
 
SGPBS of
 
USD 157
 
million in
 
exchange for
 
the release
 
of all
claims. During the 7 June 2023 hearing,
 
the Court granted the US Receiver’s motion to
 
approve the settle-
ment. This order is now subject to an appeal. The settlement amount that SGPBS must pay is fully covered
by
 
reserves
 
in
 
the
 
accounts
 
of
 
Société
 
Générale
 
S.A.
 
following
 
a
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
provided
 
by
 
So-
ciété Générale S.A. to
 
SGPBS. Each of
 
the other defendant
 
banks in this
 
litigation also announced
 
settle-
ments in the first quarter of 2023 with the US
 
Receiver and OSIC resolving their claims. These
 
settlements
were reached in
 
advance of
 
a jury trial
 
that had been
 
scheduled to start
 
on February
 
27, 2023 (which
 
ulti-
mately did not take place).
 
In the
 
same
 
matter,
 
a pre
 
-contentious
 
claim (
requête
 
en conciliation
) was
 
initiated
 
in
 
Geneva
 
in
 
Novem-
ber 2022 by the Joint Liquidators of Stanford International Bank Limited (“SIBL”), appointed by the courts in
Antigua, representing
 
the
 
same investors
 
as
 
those represented
 
by the
 
US plaintiffs.
 
SGPBS was
 
served
with the statement of claim on June 20, 2023 and will defend
 
itself against the claims in this proceeding.

NOTE 8.4. - TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE
 
FIXED ASSETS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Tangible
 
and intangible fixed assets include operating and investment
 
fixed assets.
 
Tangible
 
and intangible
 
fixed assets are
 
carried at their
 
purchase price
 
on the asset
 
side of the
 
statement of
financial position, less depreciation, amortisation and impairment.
Software developed
 
internally
 
is recorded
 
under fixed
 
asset, on
 
the asset
 
side
 
of the
 
statement
 
of financial
position in the amount of the direct cost of development.
 
Depreciation and
 
amortization expenses
 
are recognized
 
in consolidated
 
income statement
 
under “
Amortiza-
tion, depreciation and impairment of property,
 
plant and equipment and other intangible assets”.
The range of the useful life of assets used by the Group
 
is as follows:
Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method
 
based on their estimated useful lives; the amor-
tization rates used range from 20% to 33.33%.
Property, plant
 
and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line
 
method based on their estimated useful
lives; the depreciation rates used are:
 
◾
other facilities, office furniture and equipment:
 
10 – 33,33%
◾
computer hardware:
 
20 – 33,33%
Land with an indefinite life is not depreciated.
 
Any residual value of the asset is deducted
 
from its depreciable amount. If there
 
is a subsequent decrease or
increase in this initial residual value, the depreciable amount of the asset is adjusted, leading to a prospective
modification of the depreciation schedule.
Depreciation
 
and
 
amortisation
 
are
 
recorded
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
under
Amortisation,
 
depreciation
 
and
impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets.
Fixed assets grouped
 
into Cash Generating
 
Units are tested
 
for impairment whenever
 
there is any
 
indication
that their
 
value may
 
have diminished.
 
Allocations and
 
reversals of
 
provisions for
 
impairment are
 
recorded in
the income statement under
Amortisation, depreciation and impairment of tangible and
 
intangible fixed assets.
Realised capital gains
 
and losses on
 
operating fixed assets
 
are recognised under
Net income from
 
other as-
sets.
 
 
 
 
RIGHTS-OF-USE FOR ASSETS LEASED BY THE GROUP
 
Lease
 
Definition of the lease
A contract is, or contains, a lease if
 
it conveys to the lessor the right to control
 
the use of an identified asset for
a period of time in exchange for consideration:
 
◾
Control is conveyed when the customer has both the right to direct the identified asset’s use, and to obtain
substantially all the economic benefits from that use throughout
 
the lease period.
◾
The existence of an
 
identified asset will depend
 
on the absence, for
 
the lessor,
 
of substantive substitution
rights for the
 
leased asset;
 
this condition is
 
measured with regard
 
to the facts
 
and circumstances existing
at the
 
commencement of
 
the contract.
 
If the
 
lessor has
 
the option
 
of freely
 
substituting the
 
leased asset,

doc1p185i6 doc1p185i7
LEASE TERM
the contract
 
can
 
not
 
be qualified
 
as a
 
lease,
 
since
 
its
 
purpose
 
is the
 
provision
 
of
 
a capacity
 
and
 
not
 
an
asset.
A capacity
 
portion of
 
an asset
 
is still
 
an identified
 
asset
 
if it
 
is physically
 
distinct
 
(e.g. a
 
floor
 
of a
 
building).
Conversely, a portion of
 
the capacity or
 
of an
 
asset that
 
is not
 
physically distinct does
 
not constitute
 
an identified
asset (e.g. the lease of co-working area within a unit
 
with no pre-defined location inside that unit).
Separation of lease and non-lease components
A contract may
 
cover the
 
lease of an
 
asset by
 
the lessor
 
as well as
 
the supply
 
of additional
 
services by
 
that
lessor. In this scenario, the lessee can separate the lease components
 
from the non-lease components of the
contract and treat them separately. The rental payments stipulated in the contract must
 
be separated between
the lease components and the non-lease components based on their individual
 
prices (as directly indicated in
the contract or estimated
 
on the basis on all
 
of the observable information).
 
If the lessee cannot
 
separate the
lease components from the non-lease components (or
 
services), the entire contract is treated as a lease.
 
Lease term
 
Definition of the lease term
The lease period to
 
be applied in determining
 
the rental payments to
 
be discounted matches the
 
non-cancel-
lable period of the lease adjusted for:
 
◾
options to extend the contract that the lessee is reasonably
 
certain to exercise,
◾
and early termination options that the lessee is reasonably
 
certain not to exercise.
*
 
if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
 
that option
** if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise
 
that option
Following the decision of IFRIC consultation in November 2019, the measurement of the reasonable certainty
of exercising
 
or not
 
exercising the
 
extension or
 
early termination
 
options shall
 
take into
 
account all
 
the facts
and circumstances that may create an economic incentive
 
to exercise or not these options, specifically:
◾
the conditions
 
for exercising
 
these options
 
(including measurement
 
of the amount
 
of the rental
 
payments
in case of an extension, or of the amount of penalties that may
 
be imposed for early termination),
◾
substantial changes made to the leased premises (specific
 
layouts, such as a bank vault),
◾
the costs
 
associated with
 
terminating
 
the contract
 
(negotiation costs,
 
moving costs,
 
research costs
 
for a
new asset that meets the lessee’s requirements,
 
etc.),
◾
the importance of
 
the leased asset for
 
the lessee, in
 
view of its specific
 
nature, its location, or
 
the availability
of substitute assets (specifically for branches located in commercially strategic sites, given their accessibil-
ity, expected traffic,
 
or the prestige of the location),
◾
the history of
 
renewals of similar
 
contracts, as well
 
as the strategy
 
for the future
 
use of the
 
assets (based
on the prospect of redeployment or rearrangement of a commercial
 
branch network, for example).
Changing the lease term
In the event of a change of circumstances of the lessee which has an impact on
 
the certainty of exercise of an
option that
 
the lessee has
 
or has
 
not included in
 
its calculation of
 
the lease
 
term, the term
 
must be re-estimated.

As at December 31, 2023

The entity must also revise the term of the lease contract
 
in any one of the following situations:
 
◾
the lessee exercises an option that had not been included when
 
calculating the term of the lease;
◾
the lessee does not exercise an option that had been included
 
when calculating the term of the lease;
◾
the lessee is contractually obliged, due to an event, to exercise an option that had not been included when
calculating the term of the lease;
◾
the lessee
 
is contractually
 
prevented, due
 
to an
 
event, from
 
exercising an
 
option that
 
had been
 
included
when calculating the term of the lease.
Following
 
a change
 
in
 
the
 
lease
 
term
 
(re-estimate
 
or
 
revision),
 
the
 
lease
 
obligation
 
must
 
be
 
reassessed
 
to
reflect those
 
changes. The
 
revised rate
 
is the
 
interest rate
 
implicit in
 
the lease
 
for the
 
remaining term
 
of the
contract if it is possible to calculate
 
this rate, otherwise the lessee
 
must use its incremental borrowing
 
rate on
the date of modification of the lease term.
Accounting treatment by the Group as a lessee
On the
 
starting date
 
(on which
 
the leased
 
asset is
 
made available
 
for use),
 
the lessee
 
must record
 
a lease
liability on the
 
liabilities side of
 
the statement of
 
financial position
 
and a right-of-use
 
asset on the
 
assets side
of the statement of financial position except for the exemptions
 
described below.
In the
 
income
 
statement,
 
the
 
lessee
 
must
 
recognise
 
an interest
 
expense (see
 
Note
 
3.8)
 
calculated
 
on the
lease liability under
Net banking income
 
and a depreciation
 
of the right-of-use
 
under
Amortisation, depreciation
and impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets.
The rental
 
payments will partly
 
reduce the lease
 
liability and
 
partly remunerate this
 
liability in
 
the form
 
of interest
expense.
Exemptions and exclusions
Lessee
 
may
 
choose
 
not
 
to
 
apply
 
the
 
new
 
lease
 
treatment
 
to
 
contracts
 
on
 
low-value
 
items
 
by
 
applying
 
the
exemption threshold
 
of EUR
 
5,000 determined
 
by the
 
Group (the threshold
 
should be
 
measured against
 
the
replacement cost per
 
unit of the
 
leased asset). This
 
last simplification
 
applies specifically to
 
small equipment
such as personal computers, tablets, telephones, and
 
small items of office furniture.
 
The Group has chosen to apply this exemption permitted. Related
 
expenses are disclosed in the table below,
 
and classified under
other operating expenses
 
(Note 8.2) .
Rental payment amounts
The
 
payments
 
to
 
be
 
considered
 
for
 
the
 
measurement
 
of
 
the
 
lease
 
liability
 
include
 
fixed
 
and
 
variable
 
rental
payments based
 
on an index
 
(e.g. consumer
 
price index
 
or construction
 
cost index)
 
or a benchmark
 
interest
rate (Euribor),
 
plus, where
 
applicable, the
 
funds that
 
the lessee
 
expects to
 
pay the
 
lessor for
 
residual value
guarantees, purchase options, or early termination penalties.
However,
 
variable lease
 
payments that
 
are indexed
 
on the
 
use of
 
the leased
 
asset (indexed
 
on revenue
 
or
mileage, for example) are excluded from the
 
measurement of lease liability.
 
This variable portion of the rental
payments is recorded in the net income over time according to fluctuations in contractual indexes fluctuations.
SG Luxembourg does not have variable rental payments.
Rental payments have to be considered based
 
on their amount net of value-added tax. In
 
addition, for building
leases, occupancy
 
taxes and
 
property taxes
 
passed on
 
by lessors
 
will be
 
excluded from
 
lease liabilities
 
be-
cause their amount, as set
 
by the competent public authorities,
 
is variable. The liability
 
initial amount is equal
to the discounted value of the rental payments that will
 
be payable over the lease period.
This lease liability is then measured
 
at the amortised cost using the
 
effective interest rate method: part of each
rental payment
 
will then
 
be booked
 
as interest
 
expenses in
 
the income
 
statement, and
 
part will
 
be gradually
deducted from the lease liability on the statement of financial
 
position.

the lease
 
liability
 
may be
 
adjusted
 
if the
 
lease is
 
amended, the
 
lease
period is re-estimated, or
 
to account for contractual
 
changes in the rental
 
payments related to the
 
application
of indices or rates.
As applicable,
 
the lessee
 
must also
 
recognise a
 
provision
 
in its
 
liabilities to
 
cover the
 
costs of
 
restoring the
leased asset that would be assumed when the lease ends.
Recognition of a lease liability
 
The initial
 
amount of
 
the liability
 
is equal
 
to the
 
discounted value
 
of the
 
rental payments
 
that will
 
be payable
over the lease period.
This lease liability is then measured
 
at the amortised cost using the
 
effective interest rate method: part of each
rental payment
 
will then
 
be booked
 
as interest
 
expenses in
 
the income
 
statement, and
 
part will
 
be gradually
deducted from the lease liability on the statement
 
of financial position.
The lease liability is recorded under
Other liabilities
 
(see Note 4.4).
After the commencement
 
date, the amount of
 
the lease liability may
 
be adjusted if the
 
lease is amended, the
lease period is re-estimated, or to account for contractual changes in the rental
 
payments related to the appli-
cation of indices or rates.
The Group,
 
as a
 
lessee,
 
must
 
also recognise
 
a provision
 
in
 
its liabilities
 
to cover
 
the costs
 
of restoring
 
the
leased asset that would be assumed when the lease ends.
Recognition of a right-of-use
 
On the
 
availability date
 
of the
 
leased asset,
 
the lessee
 
must enter
 
a right-of-use
 
to the
 
leased asset,
 
on the
assets side of
 
the statement of
 
financial position, for
 
an amount equal
 
to the initial value
 
of the lease
 
liability,
plus, as applicable, initial direct costs, advance payments,
 
and restoration costs.
This asset is
 
then depreciated on
 
a straight-line basis
 
over the lease
 
period that is
 
applied for measuring
 
the
lease liability.
After the starting date,
 
the asset’s value may be
 
adjusted if the lease
 
is amended, as it
 
is the case for
 
the lease
liability.
 
Rights-of-use is presented on
 
the lessee’s statement of
 
financial position under the
 
items of fixed
 
assets where
properties of the
 
same type that
 
are held in
 
full ownership are entered.
 
If the lease
 
stipulates the initial
 
payment
of
 
a
 
leasehold
 
right
 
to
 
the
 
former
 
tenant
 
of
 
the
 
premises,
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
that
 
right
 
is
 
stated
 
as
 
a
 
separate
component of the right of use and presented under the same heading
 
as the latter.
 
Lease discount rates
The
 
implicit
 
contract
 
rates
 
are
 
not
 
generally
 
known
 
nor
 
easily
 
determined,
 
specifically
 
for
 
building
 
leases.
Therefore, the
 
Group has
 
decided to
 
use the
 
lessees’ incremental
 
borrowing rate
 
to discount
 
the rental
 
pay-
ments as well as the amount of lease liabilities.
The incremental borrowing rate is determined through
 
a function of three factors specific to each contract:
 
◾
the duration of the contract and the currency of the lessee
 
entity, which together
 
define the risk-free rate;
◾
the country
 
of the lessee, which defines the liquidity spread.
The liquidity spread by country is defined centrally by the Group
 
on basis of macroeconomic observations.

NOTE 8.5. - FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
At the consolidated statement of financial
 
position date, monetary assets and
 
liabilities denominated in for-
eign currencies are translated into Euro at
 
the prevailing spot exchange rate. Realized or unrealized foreign
exchange losses or gains are recognized
 
in the consolidated income statement.
Forward foreign exchange transactions are recognized at fair value based on the
 
forward exchange rate for
the remaining maturity. Spot foreign exchange positions are valued using the official spot rates prevailing at
the end
 
of the
 
period. Unrealized
 
gains and
 
losses are
 
recognized
 
in the
 
consolidated
 
income statement
under
Net gains and
 
losses on financial instruments
 
at fair value
 
through profit or loss
 
(see Note 7.3),
 
except
when hedge accounting
 
is applied to
 
a cash-flow hedge
 
transaction or to
 
a hedge of
 
a net investment
 
in a
foreign currency operation (see Note 3.5).
Non-monetary financial
 
assets denominated
 
in foreign
 
currencies, including
 
shares and
 
other variable
 
in-
come securities that
 
are not part
 
of the trading
 
portfolio, are converted
 
into the entity’s
 
functional currency
at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the end of the period.
Foreign
 
exchanges
 
losses
 
or
 
gains
 
are
 
recognised
 
either
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
under
Net
 
gains
 
and
losses on
 
financial
 
instruments at
 
fair value
 
through
 
profit or
 
loss
, or
 
under other
 
comprehensive income
(Unrealised and deferred gains and
 
losses), depending on the accounting
 
of the gains or losses
 
relative to
these assets/liabilities.
 
The main spot exchange rates used December 31, 2023 are
 
described in the Note 1.

NOTE 9 – NOTE ON RISK EXPOSURES
The understanding,
 
identification,
 
mitigation
 
and
 
management
 
of risk
 
are essential
 
elements
 
for the
 
suc-
cessful management of the
 
Group. The Group deployed
 
a strategy to ensure
 
the implementation of
 
robust
and efficient risk management and monitoring
 
organization where the main objective is:
 
◾
to contribute to the development of the Group's business
 
lines by optimizing the overall profitability
in consideration of assumed risks;
◾
to ensure the Group’s sustainability by rolling out a high-performance organization
 
for the analysis,
valuation and monitoring of risks: global risk policies and procedures define the framework for con-
trolling all types
 
of risks by
 
describing the methods
 
used, defining limits,
 
as well as
 
setting escalation
procedures;
◾
to provide the Authorized Management and the Board of Directors with a comprehensive, objective
and relevant overview of the risks;
◾
to design dedicated risk
 
monitoring reports sent
 
and presented to
 
the Chief Risk
 
Officer (CRO) on
a regular basis;
◾
to ensure that the
 
risk limits are compatible with
 
the Group’s strategy, business model and structure
through an effective
 
risk appetite
 
framework, which
 
defines the
 
level of risk
 
the Group
 
is willing to
take in order to achieve its strategic and financial goals;
◾
to
 
ensure
 
compliance
 
with
 
banking
 
regulation
 
requirements
 
by
 
submitting
 
regular
 
reports
 
to
 
the
regulators (CSSF,
 
ECB, EBA and BCL), taking part in regulatory discussions and analyzing all new
requirements related to risk management that could affect
 
the regulatory monitoring of the Group’s
activities.
The governance
 
of risk
 
management relies
 
on an active
 
involvement from
 
all the
 
company's managers,
 
a
clear and
 
well-defined structure
 
of internal
 
rules, procedures
 
and, monitoring
 
actions, performed
 
by inde-
pendent operational management teams, to structure the underwriting
 
of new risks.
 
SG Luxembourg's
 
Enterprise
 
Risk Committee,
 
chaired
 
by the
 
Chief Executive
 
Officer,
 
meets quarterly
 
to
review risk management
 
and, if necessary, to determine
 
whether to accept
 
risks or to
 
decide how to
 
manage
them.
 
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.

It aims to:
 
■
 
inform the Executive Management about the
 
nature and magnitude of the risks
 
to which the Group
is exposed and to provide analyses of the credit portfolio on
 
a periodic basis;
 
■
 
find possible remedial measures for identified risks;
■
 
examine provisions from a prudential perspective;
■
 
report on the
 
progresses of each Risk
 
Department initiatives finalized to
 
manage each counterparty,
market, credit and operational risk.
To
 
reflect
 
a proper
 
management
 
of risk
 
and develop
 
an integrated
 
risk
 
culture, the
 
Group
 
has set
 
up an
effective Risk Management organization, encompassing
 
the relevant risks coming from its activities.
The overall
 
Risk Management
 
framework
 
remains under
 
the CRO’s
 
responsibility,
 
who is
 
responsible
 
for
providing any relevant information on risks to the Authorized
 
Management.
 
The CRO delegates the day-to-day supervision of the department to
 
the Head of the Group’s Risk Manage-
ment.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE 9.1. - CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is
 
defined by the
 
Group as the
 
risk of loss
 
resulting from the
 
inability of the
 
Group's customers,
sovereign
 
issuers
 
or
 
other
 
counterparties
 
to
 
honor
 
their
 
financial
 
commitments.
 
This
 
risk
 
may
 
be
 
further
amplified by individual, country and sector concentration.
 
It includes:
 
■
 
the risk linked to securitisation activities;
■
 
the underwriting risk
 
which is the
 
risk of loss
 
arising from debt
 
syndication activities where the
 
Group
fails to meet its final take target due
 
to market conditions, inaccurate analysis of investor’s demand,
miscalculated credit
 
profile or
 
credit deterioration
 
of the
 
borrower during
 
the syndication
 
phase of
the loan/the bond.
It also includes the counterparty risk relating to the market
 
activities conducted by the Group entities.
The
 
Group
 
has
 
established
 
a
 
Global
 
credit
 
risk
 
policy
 
covering
 
all
 
of
 
its
 
activities
 
that
 
specified
 
the
 
risk
tolerance of the
 
various business
 
lines and
 
establishes a number
 
of common
 
principles relating
 
to the ac-
ceptance and monitoring of risk. This policy has been
 
validated by the Group's Board of Directors.
 
The risks approval complies with rules common to all
 
business lines:
◾
all transactions
 
resulting in
 
a counterparty
 
risk, are
 
subject to
 
a prior
 
analysis, finalized
 
to
credit risk monitoring and to an authorization process;
◾
the Group's
 
internal organization
 
makes appropriate
 
arrangements to
 
monitor clients'
 
cre-
ditworthiness;
◾
with the support from their associated risk
 
departments, the business lines are responsible
for analyzing and approving risk insofar as their delegations
 
of authority permit;
 
◾
the comparison
 
of the
 
commercial interest,
 
driven by
 
a profitability/risk
 
pairing on
 
the one
hand, and the
 
independent opinion of
 
the risk departments
 
on the
 
other hand, supports
 
the decision-
making. In the event of a
 
disagreement between the parties, the decision is subject to
 
an arbitration
process;

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

◾
all decisions in respect of
 
the granting of credit must
 
automatically take into account the
 
risk
ratings attributed internally
 
to the
 
counterparties, communicated by
 
the business lines
 
and approved
by the SG Luxembourg Group's risk management team.
 
Private Banking
 
division loans
 
are predominantly
 
granted to
 
Ultra High
 
Networth
 
clients who
 
hold assets
with this
 
department, or
 
prospect to
 
have a
 
significant
 
potential development
 
for Private
 
Banking division
target. The credit approach relies on the assessment of the ability of the debtor to repay on time (and
 
more
generally to
 
meet its
 
obligations under
 
the credit
 
documentation), on
 
the economical
 
rationale of
 
the pro-
posed transaction, on the appraisal of
 
the collateral and finally on the Group's
 
operational capacity to track
changes
 
in
 
each
 
loan's
 
collateral.
 
Loan
 
to
 
Value
 
is
 
determined
 
by
 
applying
 
haircuts
 
to
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
collateral that
 
are based
 
on its
 
quality,
 
liquidity,
 
volatility,
 
and the diversity
 
of its
 
assets. The
 
Group imple-
ments a
 
daily monitoring
 
mechanism
 
for detecting
 
deterioration
 
in collateral
 
and
 
defining, with
 
its clients,
measures for regularizing shortfalls.
 
For corporate and institutional
 
clients, the acceptance
 
of any credit commitment
 
is based on a credit
 
appli-
cation including a
 
detailed analysis of
 
financial performance
 
of the client
 
and of the
 
purpose, the structure
and the sources of debt repayment.
 
In a
 
credit transaction,
 
risk acceptability
 
is based,
 
first, on
 
the borrower’s
 
ability to
 
meet its
 
commitments
and so to
 
repay its debt, through the
 
cash flows. For medium and
 
long-term operations, the funding duration
must remain
 
compatible
 
with
 
the economic
 
life of
 
the
 
financed asset
 
and the
 
visibility horizon
 
of the
 
bor-
rower’s cash flow.
The Group has specific
 
credit policies and/or
 
limits for sectors
 
or types of credit
 
transactions which have
 
a
specific or intrinsically higher
 
concentration risk profile. In
 
addition, certain types of transactions
 
benefit from
the expertise off specialized
 
business line teams
 
within Société Générale Group
 
(in particular: LBOs,
 
financ-
ing of
 
real estate
 
professionals, securitization, hedge
 
fund transactions, commodities
 
trade financing,
 
aircraft
and shipping, and project financing).
 
A Credit
 
Committee, chaired
 
by an
 
approved member
 
from SG
 
Luxembourg's General
 
Management, ap-
proves the Group’s main exposures within the limits
 
of the Committee's delegated responsibilities. The Risk
Department is responsible for monitoring exposure, compiling
 
reports and when necessary issuing alerts
 
as
well as for the regular update of analyses.
CREDIT RISK CONSIDERATIONS
 
UNDER IFRS 9
ESTIMATING EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
The Group
 
is exposed
 
to counterparty
 
and concentration
 
risks, which
 
may have
 
a material
 
adverse effect
on the Group’s
 
business, economic results
 
and financial position.
 
The Group is
 
exposed to credit
 
risk with
respect to numerous counterparties in
 
the ordinary course of its
 
trading, lending, issuing and deposit-taking,
clearing, settlement
 
and other
 
activities. These
 
counterparties include,
 
among others,
 
institutional clients,
brokers
 
and
 
dealers,
 
commercial
 
and
 
investment
 
banks,
 
corporates,
 
clearing
 
houses,
 
hedge
 
funds,
 
and
sovereign states.
 
The Group
 
may realise
 
losses if
 
a counterparty
 
defaults on
 
its obligations,
 
if the
 
Group
encounters legal or other difficulties in enforcing its collateral or/and if the value
 
of the collateral is not suffi-
cient to fully recover the exposure.
 
In order to
 
protect itself, the
 
Group performs hedging
 
activities and other
 
risk management
 
strategies also
through transactions
 
with financial
 
services counterparties.
 
Any default
 
or insolvency
 
on the
 
part of
 
these
counterparties may impair the effectiveness of the Group’s
 
hedging and risk management strategies.
 
Following the
 
financial crisis,
 
regulators have
 
encouraged or
 
imposed the
 
mandatory
 
netting of
 
certain fi-
nancial instruments formerly traded over-the-counter.
 
This has increased the exposure of the Group and of
other
 
financial
 
market
 
participants
 
to
 
clearing
 
houses:
 
the
 
default
 
of
 
any
 
one
 
of
 
them
 
or
 
of
 
one
 
of
 
their
members could affect the financial markets and
 
could have negative consequences for the Group.
 
Société Générale Luxembourg S.A.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As at December 31, 2023

Consequently,
 
the
 
default
 
of
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
significant
 
counterparties
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
adverse effect on the Group.
 
This risk is increased if exposures are
 
concentrated on a particular counterparty, borrower or issuer (includ-
ing sovereign issuers),
 
or on a
 
particular country
 
or industry.
 
The devices and
 
methods the Group
 
uses to
ensure the diversification of its credit and counterparty risks,
 
could be insufficient or defective in preventing
the concentration of credit
 
risk. Such a
 
concentration could result
 
in losses for the
 
Group, even when
 
eco-
nomic and market conditions are generally
 
favourable for its competitors and may
 
have a material adverse
impact.
The Group’s results of operations and financial position could
 
be adversely affected by a late or insufficient
provisioning of credit exposures.
The Group regularly records provisions
 
for loan losses on
 
its lending activities in
 
order to anticipate as
 
much
as
 
possible
 
the
 
occurrence
 
of
 
such
 
losses
 
and
 
moderate
 
the
 
volatility
 
of
 
its
 
results.
 
The
 
amount
 
of
 
loan
provisions is based
 
on the most
 
accurate assessment
 
to date of
 
it’s recoverability.
 
This assessment relies
on an analysis
 
of the current
 
and prospective
 
situation of
 
the borrower
 
as well as
 
an analysis of
 
the value
and recoverability of the debt, taking into
 
account any security interests. In some
 
cases (loans to individual
customers), the provisioning
 
method may be
 
based on the
 
use of statistical
 
models and of
 
loss and historical
data.
 
The Group could be required to substantially increase its loan provision, following an
 
increase in defaults or
a re-evaluation of recovery prospects.
Since January
 
1, 2018,
 
the
 
Group has
 
been recording
 
provisions on
 
performing
 
loans
 
under
 
the IFRS
 
9
accounting standard. This
 
assessment is based on
 
probabilities of default
 
statistical models on
 
default po-
tential
 
losses,
 
which
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
a
 
prospective
 
analysis
 
based
 
on
 
macroeconomic
 
scenarios.
 
The
Group’s cost
 
of risk could
 
be negatively
 
impacted by
 
a proven or
 
anticipated deterioration
 
in the quality
 
of
the outstanding loan portfolios
 
or macroeconomic prospects. In
 
addition, IFRS 9 accounting
 
standard prin-
ciples and provisioning models could be pro-cyclical in the event of a sharp and sudden deterioration in the
environment or can generate enhanced volatility
 
in the event of
 
fluctuations in the economic prospects. This
could lead to a significant and/or not fully anticipated change in the cost of risk and therefore in the Group's
results.
Accounting policies which govern the outstandings to be provisioned as well as the principles for classifica-
tion in stages of provisioning are described in Note 3.9.
RISK MEASUREMENT AND INTERNAL RATINGS
To
 
calculate its capital requirements under
 
the IRB method, the Group
 
estimates its Risk-Weighted
 
Assets
(RWA) and the Expected
 
Loss (EL) that
 
may be incurred
 
with regard
 
the nature of
 
the transaction, the
 
quality
of the counterparty and all measures taken to mitigate
 
risk;
To
 
calculate its RWA,
 
the Group uses its own Basel parameters,
 
which are estimated using its internal
 
risk
measurement system:
◾
the Exposure
 
at Default
 
(EAD) value
 
is defined
 
as the
 
Group’s exposure
 
in the
 
event that
the counterparty should
 
default. The EAD
 
includes exposures recorded
 
on the statement
 
of financial
position
 
(loans,
 
receivables,
 
accrued
 
income,
 
market
 
transactions,
 
etc.),
 
and
 
a
 
proportion
 
of
 
off-
balance sheet exposures calculated using internal or regulatory
 
Credit Conversion Factors (CCF);
◾
the Probability of
 
Default (PD): the
 
probability that
 
a counterparty
 
of the Group
 
will default
within one year;
◾
the Loss
 
Given Default
 
(LGD): the
 
ratio between
 
the loss
 
incurred on
 
an exposure
 
in the
event a counterparty defaults and the amount of the exposure
 
at the time of the default.

The Group also takes into account:
o
 
the impact of guarantees and credit derivatives, by
 
substituting the PD, the LGD and
 
the risk-weighting
calculation of the guarantor
 
for that of the
 
obligor (the exposure is
 
considered to be
 
a direct exposure
to the
 
guarantor) in
 
the event
 
that the
 
guarantor’s risk
 
weighting is
 
more favourable
 
than that
 
of the
obligor;
o
 
collateral used as guarantees (physical or financial). This impact is factored in either at the level of the
LGD models for the pools concerned or on a line-by-line
 
basis.
ANALYSIS OF GROSS OUTSTANDINGS
 
AND PROVISIONS FOR CREDIT RISK
The following
 
tables detail
 
the outstandings
 
provisioned (balance
 
sheet and
 
off-balance
 
sheet) subject
 
to
impairment in accordance with IFRS 9 provisions by stage.
The perimeter includes:
◾
securities (excluding
 
securities received
 
under repurchase
 
agreements), customer
 
loans and
 
due
from banks measured at amortised cost;
◾
financing and guarantee commitments.

COLLATERAL AND OTHER CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS
The amount and type of
 
collateral required depends on an assessment of the
 
credit risk of the counterparty.
Guidelines are in place covering the acceptability and valuation
 
of each type of collateral.
The main types of collateral obtained are the following:
◾
for securities lending and reverse repurchase transactions, cash
 
or securities;
◾
for commercial lending, charges over real estate properties,
 
inventory and trade receivables;
◾
for retail lending, mortgages over residential properties.
The Group also obtains guarantees from parent companies
 
for loans to their subsidiaries.
For securities collateral,
 
a loan to
 
Value is determined by applying
 
discounts to the value
 
of the surety
 
based
on its quality, liquidity,
 
volatility, and
 
the diversity of its assets.
The Risk department monitors
 
the market value and
 
the loanable value of
 
collateral and can
 
request addi-
tional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement.
For real estate,
 
the Société Générale
 
Group obtains a
 
detailed real estate expert
 
appraisal, including market
analysis by an independent company for all
 
financing of more than 3 M€ for
 
residential real estate and 1 M€
for commercial
 
real estate.
 
A loan to
 
value is
 
also determined,
 
generally between
 
30 and 85%
 
depending
on the type of credit and the
 
location. The location of the assets is limited to
 
the following countries: France,
Monaco,
 
Switzerland,
 
Luxembourg,
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
on
 
a
 
punctual
 
and
 
on
 
a
 
case-by-case
 
basis
 
:
 
Italy,
Spain, Germany.
In its normal course of business, the Group
 
does not physically retain properties or
 
other assets in its retail
portfolio, but engages external agents to recover funds
 
generally at the auctions to settle outstanding debt.
Any surplus funds
 
are returned to
 
the customers/obligors.
 
As a result
 
of this practice,
 
the residential prop-
erties under legal repossession
 
processes are not recorded
 
on the consolidated
 
statement of financial
 
po-
sition and treated as non-current held for sale.
CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS THAT ARE NEITHER PAS
 
T
 
DUE NOR INDIVIDUALLY IMPAIRED
The Société Générale Group records Expected Credit Losses on financial assets, financial guarantees and
other financial commitments
 
on the basis of
 
Société Générale Group
 
calculation rules defined
 
in Note 3.9.
The Société Générale Group
 
determines that “individually impaired” financial
 
assets refer mainly to
 
financial
assets classified in Stage 3 under IFRS 9.
Analysis of risk exposure by rating
On the Corporate portfolio, the Société Générale Group
 
manages the credit quality of financial assets using
internal risk ratings.
 
It is the
 
Société Générale Group’s
 
policy to maintain
 
accurate and consistent
 
risk ratings
across the credit portfolio. This
 
facilitates focused management of
 
the applicable risks and the comparison
of credit exposures
 
across all business
 
lines, geographic regions,sectors
 
and products. The
 
rating system
is supported by a variety
 
of financial analytics, combined
 
with processed market
 
information to provide the
main inputs for the measurement of counterparty risk.
All internal risk ratings are tailored to the various categories and are derived in accordance with the Société
Générale Group’s rating policy.
Internal rating is based on
 
a detailed analysis of qualitative
 
and financial information of the
 
counterparty, the
economic, sector or juridical background, etc.
The internal ratings are regularly assessed and reviewed
 
by the Risk Division.

The rating determines the level of probability
 
of default of the counterparty and
 
is directly influenced by the
level of risk weight. There’s a correspondence
 
between internal and external ratings (see table hereafter).

On the Private Banking portfolio, the approach is based on the collateral and the Société Générale Group's
operational
 
capacity
 
to
 
track
 
changes
 
in
 
each
 
loan's
 
collateral.
 
Loan
 
to
 
Value
 
is
 
determined
 
by
 
applying
haircuts to the value of the surety based on its quality,
 
liquidity, volatility,
 
and the diversity of its assets.
 
The Société Générale Group implemented a
 
monitoring mechanism
 
for detecting any deterioration in collat-
eral and defining, through its credit policy,
 
measures for making up insufficient margins.

NOTE 9.2. MARKET RISK
1.
 
GENERAL
 
Market risk is
 
defined as the
 
risk of loss
 
due to unfavorable
 
movements in market
 
factors such as
 
interest
rates share prices or currency exchange rates impacting
 
the value of the Group’s proprietary
 
positions.
Although
 
the
 
primary
 
responsibility
 
of
 
the
 
monitoring
 
of risks
 
lies
 
down
 
with
 
the
 
managers
 
of
 
the
 
trading
rooms (Front Office)
 
the organization of
 
the supervision
 
relies on the
 
independent structures
 
which in par-
ticular are in charge of:
■
the calculation on a daily basis of market risks based
 
on a formal and secure procedure;
■
the daily monitoring of compliance with the limits notified
 
for each activity;
■
the preparation of a daily report on the use of the limits sent to the general management of the entities
related to the front office and to the SG Luxembourg
 
Group's market risk department.
The Group's market risk assessment is based on daily
 
indicators which are used to define exposure limits:
■
99%
Value at Risk (VaR) and Stressed Value-at-Risk (SVaR) in accordance with the
 
internal regulatory
model used
 
to calculate
 
capital: synthetic
 
indicator for
 
day-to-day monitoring
 
of market
 
risks incurred
by SG Luxembourg
 
as part of
 
its trading activities.
 
The “historical simulation”
 
method takes into
 
account
shocks and correlations between various markets using a one-day horizon calculated on a rolling one-
year basis (for the VaR)
 
and on a stresses annual window chosen a long-term
 
period (for the SVaR);
■
The stress testing
 
is based on
 
ten-year risk indicators. Stress
 
testing makes it
 
possible to limit
 
exposure
to systemic risks
 
and to cases
 
of exceptional market
 
shock. A stress
 
test estimates
 
the loss resulting
from an
 
extreme shift
 
in market
 
prices over
 
a period
 
corresponding to
 
the time
 
required to
 
unwind or
hedge the
 
positions
 
affected
 
(5 to
 
20
 
days
 
for
 
most
 
trading
 
positions).
 
This
 
estimate
 
uses
 
historical
scenarios as well as
 
theoretical scenarios that
 
are regularly reviewed
 
and updated by the
 
SG Luxem-
bourg Group Risk
 
Division. At
 
the end of
 
the most recent
 
review the
 
stress test used
 
12 scenarios
 
(3
historical and 9 theoretical);
■
additional
 
indicators
 
(in
 
sensitivity
 
nominal
 
holding
 
or
 
modify
 
duration
 
etc.)
 
enable
 
to
 
ensure
 
con-
sistency between the overall risk limits and the operational thresholds used
 
by the Front Office. These
limits also allow mitigating the risks which would only partially be caught by
 
the “VaR” or stress testing.
MEASUREMENT OF MARKET RISK AND DEFINITION OF LIMITS
Market risk is managed through procedures that
 
explain how and when to activate
 
and monitor limits for SG
Luxembourg independently and for its subsidiaries.
 
Although
 
primary
 
responsibility
 
for
 
risk
 
monitoring
 
naturally
 
falls
 
into
 
front
 
office
 
managers
 
the
 
oversight
mechanism also relies on independent structures.
From an organizational
 
viewpoint responsibility
 
for managing
 
market risk
 
within SG
 
Luxembourg Group
 
is
distributed as follows:
◾
Société Générale Group's Market Risk Department establishes the
 
risk measurement methods and
control procedures, centrally handles
 
Société Générale Group's market
 
risk reporting examines and
validates the limits requests from the various activities.
◾
The entities
 
of
 
SG Luxembourg
 
Group
 
bearing
 
market
 
risk
 
(SG
 
Luxembourg
 
and
 
SGPB
 
Suisse)
have a dedicated
 
risk, independent
 
from the
 
business lines,
 
in charge
 
of managing
 
risks resulting
from market activities. The
 
daily market risk calculation
 
and monitoring and the
 
limits and method-
ologies validation are under the accountability of the Risk
 
department.
Market risk management is based on a combination of several
 
types of indicators:

■
The internal VaR
 
model was introduced
 
at the end of
 
1996 and has
 
been approved by
 
the French
supervisor within
 
the scope
 
of the
 
regulatory capital
 
requirements. This
 
approval was
 
renewed in
2020
 
at
 
the
 
Target
 
Review
 
of
 
Internal
 
Models
 
(TRIM).
 
The
 
Value
 
at
 
Risk
 
(VaR)
 
assesses
 
the
potential losses on
 
positions over
 
a defined time
 
horizon and for
 
a given confidence
 
interval (99%
for Société Générale). The method used is the “historical simulation” method, which implicitly takes
into account the correlation
 
between the various markets,
 
as well as general
 
and specific risk.
 
It is
based on the following principles:
o
 
storage in a
 
database of the risk
 
factors that are
 
representative of the Group’s positions
 
(i.e.
interest rates share prices. Controls are regularly performed in order to check that all
 
major
risk factors for the trading portfolio of the Group are taken
 
into account by the internal VaR
model;
o
 
definition of 260 scenarios
 
corresponding to one-day variations in
 
these market parameters
over a rolling
 
one-year period: these scenarios are
 
updated daily with the
 
inclusion of a new
scenario and
 
the removal
 
of the
 
oldest
 
scenario. There
 
are three
 
coexisting
 
methods for
modeling scenarios
 
(relative shocks,
 
absolute shocks
 
and hybrid
 
shocks),
 
the choice
 
be-
tween these
 
methods
 
for a
 
given risk
 
factor
 
is determined
 
by its
 
nature
 
and
 
its historical
trend;
o
 
the application of these 260 scenarios to the market parameters
 
of the day;
o
 
revaluation of
 
daily positions
 
on the basis
 
of the 260
 
sets of
 
adjusted market
 
parameters:
in most cases,
 
this calculation involves a
 
full re-pricing. Nonetheless, for
 
certain risk factors,
a sensitivity-based approach may be used.
Within the framework
 
described above,
 
the one-day
 
99% VaR,
 
calculated according
 
to the 260 scenarios,
corresponds to the weighted average
 
of the second and
 
third largest losses computed, without
 
applying any
weighting to the other scenarios.
The relevance of
 
the model is
 
checked through ongoing
 
backtesting in order
 
to verify whether
 
the number
of days for which the negative result exceeds the VaR
 
complies with the 99% confidence interval.
■
The Stressed VaR (SVaR) model was introduced at the end of 2021 and has been approved by the
Regulator within
 
the scope
 
of the regulatory
 
capital requirements
 
on the same
 
scope as
 
the VaR.
As with the VaR model, this approval was renewed in 2020 at the Target Review of Internal Models
(TRIM). The calculation method used for the 99% one-day SVaR is the same as the one for VaR. It
consists in carrying out an
 
historical simulation with one-day shocks and a
 
99% confidence interval.
SVaR uses a fixed
 
one-year historical window of scenarios corresponding
 
to a period of significant
financial tension.
■
The Market Stress Test focuses
 
on market risk and estimates the loss resulting from shocks on the
set of
 
risk factors.
 
This stress
 
test is
 
based on
 
12 scenarios
 
(3 historical
 
and 9
 
hypothetical). The
main principles are as follows:
o
 
The
 
scenario
 
considered
 
in
 
the
 
market
 
stress
 
test
 
is
 
the
 
worst
 
of
 
the
 
different
 
scenarios
defined;
o
 
The shocks
 
applied are
 
calibrated
 
on
 
time
 
horizons
 
specific
 
to each
 
risk
 
factor
 
(the
 
time
horizon can range from
 
five days for the
 
most liquid risk factors
 
to three months for
 
the least
liquid);
o
 
Risks are
 
calculated
 
every
 
day for
 
each
 
of the
 
Group’s
 
market activities
 
(all products
 
to-
gether), using each of the historical and hypothetical scenarios.
o
Historical scenarios:
 
this method consists
 
of an analysis
 
of the
 
major economic crises
 
that
have affected the
 
financial markets:
 
changes in the
 
prices of financial
 
assets (equities,
 
in-
terest rates,
 
exchange rates,
 
credit spreads, etc.)

of these
 
crises have

analysed
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
define
 
scenarios
 
for
 
potential
 
variations
 
in
 
these
 
main
 
risk
 
factors
which, when applied to the
 
Bank’s trading positions, could
 
generate significant losses.
 
Ac-
cordingly, this approach makes it possible to
 
determine the historical scenarios used
 
for the
calculation of
 
the stress
 
test. This
 
set of
 
scenarios is
 
also the
 
subject of
 
regular reviews.
In 2020, 2
 
new historical
 
scenarios related
 
to the
 
Covid-19 crisis
 
were integrated:
 
a crisis
scenario (marked by
 
a decline in
 
equity indices and
 
an increase in
 
credit spreads) as
 
well
as a
 
rebound scenario
 
(marked by
 
an increase
 
in equity
 
indices and
 
a decrease
 
in credit
spreads).
 
In 2023,
 
the
 
historical
 
rebound
 
scenario
 
in
 
financial
 
markets
 
observed
 
in 2020
was
 
replaced
 
by
 
two
 
hypothetical
 
scenarios
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
same
 
market
 
context.
 
So-
ciete Generale Group is currently
 
using 3 historical scenarios
 
in the calculation
 
of the stress
test, which cover the monthly periods
 
of October 2008, December 2008 and March 2020.
o
Hypothetical scenarios:
 
the hypothetical
 
scenarios are
 
defined with
 
the Group’s
 
econo-
mists and are designed to identify possible sequences
 
of events that could lead to a major
crisis in the financial markets
 
(e.g. European crisis, a drop
 
in assets, etc.). The Group’s aim
is to select
 
extreme but
 
plausible events
 
which would
 
have major
 
repercussions on
 
all in-
ternational markets.
 
Accordingly,
 
Societe Generale
 
has defined

an inflationary
 
crisis and
 
2 new
 
hypothetical sce-
narios corresponding to bull markets were added.

INTEREST RATE RISK
Structural interest rate risk (also
 
referred to as Interest Rate Risk
 
in the Banking Book – “IRRBB”)
 
refers to
the risk – current or
 
prospective – to SG Luxembourg
 
Group’s equity and earnings
 
(hence for the Net
 
Pre-
sent
 
Value
 
(“NPV”)
 
and
 
the
 
Net
 
Interest
 
Margin
 
(“NIM”))
 
posed
 
by
 
adverse
 
movements
 
in
 
interest
 
rates
affecting the items comprising its banking book.
 
There are four main types of risk:
◾
rates level risk;
◾
curve risk, related to the term structure of the instruments
 
in the banking book;
◾
optional risk arises
 
from automatic options
 
(typically caps and
 
floors on the
 
floating rate of
 
a loan)
and behavioral options (typically the right for a customer to prepay a fixed rate loan with no or fixed
penalty);
◾
basis risk, related to the impact of relative changes in interest
 
rates indices in statement of financial
position and off-balance sheet items.
All four
 
types of
 
IRRBB may
 
potentially affect
 
the value
 
or yield
 
of interest-rate
 
sensitive assets,
 
liabilities
and off
 
-balance
 
sheet
 
items.
 
Assets, liabilities
 
and
 
off-balance
 
sheet
 
items are
 
analyzed
 
through
 
a static
approach based on no
 
commercial assumption. Instalments
 
on the outstanding are
 
calculated considering
the contractual characteristics of
 
the transactions and
 
the results of
 
modelling of client
 
behavior (in particular
for sight accounts, special savings plans and loan
 
prepayments), as well as assumptions based on conven-
tional scenarios for certain aggregates.
Main internal amortization standards are:
◾
For SG Luxembourg Group’s own funds, the retained internal
 
standard for amortization is based on
the assumption
 
that such
 
items constitute
 
long term
 
fixed rate
 
resources. The
 
standard has
 
been
built on the
 
assumption of
 
a reinvestment every
 
year of one
 
tenth of the
 
amount, on 10
 
-year fixed
rate instruments. The expected average
 
replacement rate will then converge to
 
the moving average
over 10 years of 10-year rates.
◾
In connection with the above, this standard
 
also applies to the subsidiaries own
 
funds (with excep-
tions for shorter term structures) and the corresponding investment in such subsidiaries, as
 
well as
to provisions, intangible
 
assets and goodwill.
 
For intangible assets,
 
the retained maturity
 
is never-
theless capped to the remaining IFRS amortization schedule.
SG Luxembourg Group structural interest rate risk management primarily relies on the sensitivity of NPV of
fixed-rate residual
 
positions (excesses
 
or shortfalls)
 
to interest
 
rate changes
 
according to
 
several interest
rate scenarios.
Such NPV sensitivity captures the rates level risk, the
 
curve risk and the optional risk:
◾
when automatic options are identified, their NPV is calculated with
 
standard pricing tools;
◾
when behavioral options are
 
modeled, the risk metrics
 
include either their intrinsic
 
values calculated
as the NPV of the expected amortization
 
modeled profile or the marked to market
 
value calculated
with specific pricing tools, thus including also the time
 
value of the option.
The NPV is calculated by
 
discounting actual principal cash
 
flows as well as either
 
actual or estimated cou-
pons flows. When
 
estimated, the coupons
 
proxy is based
 
on the interest
 
rates levels as
 
of the NPV
 
calcu-
lation date. In any case, the coupons do not include any
 
sales margin.
Thresholds/limits are defined on:
◾
Global (all currencies),
 
as well as on
 
major currencies, and
 
on an aggregate
 
(on all currencies not
framed specifically)

an immediate and parallel 100 bps rise in the yield curve
-

Depending on the
 
monitored currency
 
and on the
 
time bucket,
 
the SG
 
Luxembourg solo (as
 
a main entity
of the Group) thresholds and limits are validated either by the SG Luxembourg ALM Committee, the central
Group ALM Risk
 
department, or
 
Société Générale
 
Group Risk
 
Finance Committee,
 
on a yearly
 
basis. For
the other entities within the consolidated perimeter of SG Luxembourg Group, the NPV sensitivity threshold
and limits are set and approved by their respective BU
 
ALCOs.
IRRBB risks being concentrated at SG Luxembourg
 
standalone entity,
 
the risk appetite at the consolidated
level is identical to the NPV thresholds/limits notified at solo level and focused on the global (all currencies)
NPV sensitivity.
 
The sensitivity on
 
a currency basis
 
is monitored on
 
a monthly basis
 
and discussed during
SG Luxembourg ALM Committee.

The “Supervisory Outlier
 
Test”
 
(“SOT”) as defined
 
in EBA Regulatory
 
Technical
 
Standards on supervisory
outlier tests,
 
EBA/RTS/2022/10
 
is calculated
 
on a
 
quarterly basis
 
and presented
 
to SG
 
Luxembourg ALM
committee. This test is based on
 
Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) sensitivity (the EVE being the NPV
 
after
exclusion of own funds, investments in subsidiaries and intangible
 
assets):
●
 
According to article 98(5)
 
of Directive 2013/36/EU,
 
the sensitivity under
 
the 6 regulatory
 
scenarios
has to remain below 15% of Tier 1 capital.
The IRRBB is also
 
measured by an
 
income metric, the
 
Net Interest Margin (“NIM”)
 
sensitivity. It
 
measures
the change
 
in the
 
net interest
 
margin resulting
 
from interest
 
rate
 
movements.
 
The Net
 
Interest Margin
 
is
computed as the
 
difference between the interest
 
revenues and expenses
 
generated by assets
 
and liabilities.
 
NIM sensitivity is
 
computed based
 
on a parallel
 
shift of
 
the whole yield
 
curve of +/-10bp,
 
a parallel shift
 
of
the whole yield curve of
 
+/-200bp as well as
 
based on the 6 EBA
 
scenarios. The limit framework
 
has been
enhanced with the
 
introduction of
 
a set of
 
limits for the
 
NIM sensitivity
 
over 1 and
 
2 years (+/-
 
10 bps and
+/-
 
200bps
 
scenarios)
 
for
 
SG
 
Luxembourg
 
solo
 
with
 
a
 
monthly
 
monitoring.
 
Additionally,
 
EBA
 
Regulatory
Technical
 
Standards EBA/RTS/2022/10 introduced
 
a SOT NII under
 
2 regulatory scenarios that
 
should re-
main below 5% of Tier 1 capital.
The current limits
 
applicable to SG
 
Luxembourg solo is
 
presented in the
 
table below (including
 
limits as of
Q4-23):
In accordance with guideline EBA/GL/2022/14, the Group has defined in 2023 a new metric that adds up to
NIM sensitivity,
 
called Market Value
 
Change that applies
 
to items recorded at
 
Fair Value
 
and consists of a
sensitivity to a parallel shift of the whole yield curve of
 
+/-10bp and +/-200 bps on those items.
The current limits
 
applicable to SG
 
Luxembourg solo is
 
presented in the
 
table below (including
 
limits as of
Q4-23):

CURRENCY RISK
Structural exchange risk is the risk
 
that a loss occurs due
 
to an unfavorable movement of the
 
exchange rate
that would affect the Group on existing foreign
 
currencies opened positions.
Structural exchange rate risk is mainly caused by:
-
 
foreign
 
currency
 
denominated
 
capital
 
contributions
 
and
 
equity
 
investments
 
financed
 
through
 
the
purchase of foreign currencies;
-
 
retained earnings in foreign subsidiaries;
-
 
investments made
 
for regulatory
 
reasons by
 
certain foreign
 
subsidiaries
 
in a
 
currency
 
other than
what used for their equity funding.
OBJECTIVE OF THE GROUP
The Group’s policy consists in calibrating the hedging of its
 
net investments in foreign entities in such a
 
way
as to
 
reduce the
 
sensitivity
 
of its
 
Common
 
Equity Tier
 
1 ratio
 
to
 
fluctuations
 
in exchange
 
rates
 
as far
 
as
possible.
 
To
 
this
 
end, it
 
enters
 
into hedging
 
transactions
 
to maintain
 
a currency
 
exposure
 
reducing
 
such
sensitivity
 
to
 
within
 
limits.
 
The
 
Group
 
quantifies
 
its
 
exposure
 
to
 
structural
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
rate
 
risks
 
by
analyzing all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING OF STRUCTURAL
 
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE
 
RISKS
The Group
 
settles many forward
 
foreign exchange transactions
 
that are
 
systematically backed by
 
spot trans-
actions.
 
The
 
residual
 
position
 
on
 
those
 
operations
 
corresponds
 
to
 
interests
 
of
 
the
 
currency
 
in
 
which
 
the
forward operation has
 
been concluded and
 
therefore represents
 
an interest rate
 
position monitored by
 
the
treasury desk.
The
 
structural
 
currency
 
risk
 
is
 
monitored
 
through
 
monitoring
 
process
 
of
 
the
 
market
 
currency
 
risk.
 
Those
monitoring
 
processes
 
cover
 
both
 
natures
 
of
 
currency
 
risks.
 
Please
 
refer

Société Générale Private Banking Monaco
 
S.A. does not have any management
 
and monitoring capability
in
 
relation
 
to
 
market
 
risk.
 
It
 
backs
 
systematically
 
each
 
operation
 
with
 
its
 
head
 
office
 
SG
 
Luxembourg.
 
It
therefore does not
 
manage any open
 
position on derivatives.
 
Clients of Société
 
Générale Private
 
Banking
Monaco S.A. perform
 
operations on derivatives. Even
 
though the market
 
risk does not
 
exist the counterparty
risk exists on such operation.
For those operations clients
 
systematically sign a derivative
 
product convention. If the
 
maturity of the posi-
tions is short
 
the potential risk is
 
collateralized by the
 
client investment portfolio. Otherwise, a
 
cash collateral
is systematically
 
required
 
to cover
 
the position.
 
Such position
 
is accounted
 
for 25
 
to 30%
 
of the
 
position
representing the extreme volatility risk of the position.

NOTE 9.3. - LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group measures
 
and oversees liquidity
 
risk using gaps
 
(static and stressed)
 
based on “asset-liability”
scenarios and using regulatory liquidity ratios (“LCR”). Since June 30, 2021, SG Luxembourg Group is also
subject to NSFR requirement.
Liquidity
 
risks
 
reflect
 
a
 
mismatch
 
between
 
statement
 
of financial
 
position’s
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
over
 
the
short medium or long term.
Funding
 
requirements
 
or surpluses
 
are
 
measured
 
by
 
the
 
liquidity
 
gap
 
governed
 
by thresholds
 
and
 
limits
defined by the Société Générale Group Finance Committee.
Threshold
 
breaches
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
action
 
plans
 
aimed
 
at
 
resolving
 
and
 
preventing
 
the
 
recurrence
 
of
 
the
breach.
The Group oversees its cash management within this
 
framework. Changes in the structure of the statement
of
 
financial
 
position
 
and
 
its
 
run-off
 
are
 
managed
 
by
 
the
 
ALM
 
(Asset
 
and
 
Liability
 
Management)
 
unit
 
and
monitored by the ALM Committee.
SG Luxembourg Group is
 
required to report the
 
liquidity ratios defined by
 
the CRD4. The Finance
 
Division
is responsible
 
for producing
 
and analyzing
 
the CRD4
 
liquidity ratios
 
(LCR and
 
NSFR) of
 
SG Luxembourg
Group and sub-group via a process coordinated with
 
Société Générale Group.
SG Luxembourg Group submits the LCR monthly and the NSFR
 
quarterly to the CSSF and BCL.
The ALM
 
Committee
 
chaired by
 
SG Luxembourg
 
CEO meets
 
once a
 
month and
 
supervises
 
the Group’s
liquidity position based on the associated metrics produced.

NOTE 9.4. - OPERATIONAL RISK
 
Operational risk
 
is defined
 
as the
 
risk
 
of loss
 
or fraud
 
because
 
of defects
 
in or
 
failure
 
of internal
systems, procedures human error or external events including legal, IT and management risk. Par-
ticular attention is paid to the risk of compliance which is the subject of enhanced structural
 
organi-
zation.
 
The SG Luxembourg Group is engaged in
 
the process of strengthening the control and steering
 
the
operational risks. This
 
approach is steered by
 
the operational risks
 
department within the
 
SG Lux-
embourg Group's risk management division.
The valuation of
 
operational risk is
 
based on
 
the advanced assessment
 
approaches deployed under
the Basel II reforms. The AMA
(Advanced Measurement Approach)
 
method is used to calculate the
regulatory capital requirement except of SGCMF and
 
SGFD for which standard method is applied.
Although the primary responsibility
 
for controlling operational relays
 
all department managers within
the business
 
lines and
 
support functions
 
who must
 
promote the
 
culture of
 
operational risks
 
within
their teams.
On a daily
 
basis the organization
 
relies mainly
 
on 4 processes,
 
supervised by
 
the operational risk
departments and consolidated within the SG Luxembourg
 
Group :
i.
 
the
 
periodic
 
self-assessment
 
of
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
controls
 
(
Risk
 
and
 
Control
 
Self-Assessment-
RCSA
) which aims to:
 
◾
identify and measure the operational risks inherent in each activity
 
and department of all
entities of SG Luxembourg Group;
◾
assess the quality of the prevention and control systems in
 
place to reduce these risks
and thereby measure the exposure to the latent risks
 
with which each activities/depart-
ment must contend;
◾
implement corrective action plans.
ii.
 
the gathering of internal data relating to losses associated
 
with operational risks with a compre-
hensive declaration
 
and on
 
a specific
 
tool, providing
 
all the
 
information necessary
 
for analysis
and monitoring this data being relayed to the senior management. The approach closely follows
the formulation and
 
follow-up of corrective
 
actions that have
 
to be
 
subject to a
 
degree of criticality
a deadline and the appointment of a manager;
iii.
 
the continuous monitoring
 
mechanism, including the
 
organisation and coordination
 
of a set of
first-level controls and key risk
 
indicators and the production of
 
summary reporting intended for
the Société Générale
 
Luxembourg’s General Management and Société
 
Générale Group’s cen-
tral operational risk teams;
iv.
 
analyses of scenarios
 
targeting particularly sensitive
 
functions and processes
 
within the Group.
These are assessments
 
of severe operational
 
risks which the
 
SG Luxembourg Group
 
may face
under certain conditions. These analyses
 
aim to assess rarely occurring but extremely
 
severe
potential losses.
 
Furthermore, the
 
entities composing
 
the Société
 
Générale Luxembourg’s
 
Group have
 
defined information
security policies and ensure
 
their enforcement, in
 
line with the SG
 
Group Guidelines. Those
 
policies cover
the management of
 
computer access
 
and rights, the
 
prevention of information
 
leaks, anonymization rules,

the conducting of intrusion tests, and the
 
websites monitoring. Prevention and employee awareness-raising
campaigns are conducted regularly in conjunction with the
 
implementation of Clean Desk policies.
Those processes
 
are supplemented
 
by a
 
crisis management
 
mechanism
 
and a
 
business continuity
 
plan,
the purpose of which
 
is to develop the
 
inherent capacity of
 
each entity’s activities
 
to withstand crises. This
is done by
 
combining the
 
organisations' own
 
capacities (robust
 
systems) and
 
special resources
 
(business
continuity plans).
Furthermore, the Société Générale Luxembourg Group's constant
 
innovations in terms of the products and
services
 
proposed to
 
its
 
clients
 
must be
 
approved
 
by a
 
New Products
 
Committee,
 
which determines
 
the
necessary conditions, in terms of both operations and acceptable risks, including an
 
analysis of compliance
risks.

measures the
 
rules and
 
ratios
 
established
 
by the
 
Basel Committee
 
on Banking
Supervision (BIS rules/ratios).
SG Luxembourg
 
Group has
 
fully complied with
 
all its externally
 
imposed capital requirements
 
over the re-
ported period.
NOTE 10.1. - CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
As part
 
of managing
 
its capital
 
the Group
 
(under the
 
supervision of
 
the Finance
 
Division) ensures
 
that its
solvency level is always compatible with the following
 
objectives:
■
 
meeting its regulatory requirement
■
 
maintaining its financial solidity and respecting the Risk
 
Appetite targets;
■
 
preserving
 
its financial
 
flexibility
 
to finance
 
organic
 
growth
 
within
 
SG Group
 
risk
 
weighted
 
assets
allocation;
■
 
maintaining the Group’s resilience in the event of stress
 
scenarios;
SG Luxembourg Group Board of Directors approves its internal capital risk appetite thresholds and limits in
accordance with these objectives and regulatory requirements.
 
The SG Luxembourg Group has an
 
internal process (Internal Adequacy Assessment
 
Process “ICAAP”) for
assessing the
 
adequacy of
 
its capital
 
that measures
 
the adequacy
 
of the
 
Group’s
 
capital ratios
 
in light
 
of
regulatory constraints
 
and future regulatory
 
changes. The assessment
 
of this adequacy
 
is based on
 
a se-
lection of key metrics
 
that are relevant to
 
the SG Luxembourg
 
Group in terms of
 
risk and capital
 
measure-
ment, such as solvency ratios (CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital), leverage ratio and MREL ratios. The capital
regulatory indicators
 
are supplemented
 
by an assessment
 
of the internal
 
capital needs
 
by available CET1
capital, thus confirming the relevance of the targets set in the risk
 
appetite.
As of 31st
 
December 2023,
 
the Group’s
 
Common Equity
 
Tier 1
 
ratio stood at
 
23,78% and the
 
total capital
ratio at 23,20%.
The Group fully complied with all its externally imposed
 
capital requirements over the reported period.

LEVERAGE RATIO
 
MANAGEMENT
The Group steers its
 
leverage ratio according to the
 
CRR rules as amended by
 
the delegated act of
 
October
10, 2014.
Steering the leverage
 
ratio means both
 
calibrating the
 
amount of Tier
 
1 capital (the
 
ratio’s numerator)
 
and
controlling the SG
 
Luxembourg Group’s
 
leverage exposure
 
(the ratio’s
 
denominator) to
 
achieve the
 
target
ratio levels that
 
the SG Luxembourg
 
Group sets for
 
itself. To this end the “leverage”
 
exposure of the
 
different
business lines is contained under the Finance Division’s
 
control.
Return on assets (i.e. Net
 
Income divided by the
 
total consolidated statement
 
of financial position per con-
solidated financial statements) for the Group stood at
 
0,82% as at December 31, 2023 (2022 R: 0,34%).

LARGE EXPOSURES
The CRR (European
 
Capital Requirements
 
Regulation) incorporates
 
the provisions
 
regulating large
 
expo-
sures. As such the SG Luxembourg Group must not have any exposure where the total amount of net risks
incurred on a single beneficiary exceeds 25% of the Group’s
 
Tier 1 capital.
The eligible capital used to calculate
 
the large exposure ratio is the
 
total regulatory capital with a limit
 
on the
amount of Tier 2 capital. Tier
 
2 capital cannot exceed one-third of Tier
 
1 capital.
On December 31,
 
2023, SGL Group
 
had no additional
 
RWA requirements due to
 
the large exposures
 
frame-
work.

After December 31,
 
2023 the Group
 
has sold some
 
loans in its
 
Retail perimeter on
 
Private Banking defaulted
counterparties for a nominal amount of EUR 46 million. Considering the provision booked in 2023, this sale

as presented in
 
the consolidated
 
income statement for
 
the
period ended December 31, 2023.
In March 2024,
 
the Group
 
has proceeded to
 
an increase
 
of EUR 32
 
million in Sogelife
 
equity participation
with no impact on its
 
ownership due to the parallel
 
increase of equity participation
 
by Sogelife other share-
holder.
