Summary of half-year operations The Banca Generali Group closed the first half of 2019 with consolidated net profit of 132.8 mil- lion euros and total net inflows of over 2.8 billion euros, bringing the total volume of the assets entrusted by customers to the Banking Group for management to 62.9 billion euros (+9.3% com- pared to the end of 2018). Assets growth in the reporting period continued to focus primarily on AUC (1.6 billion euros) and traditional insurance policies (0.8 billion euros), which best mirrored the persistently ex- tremely prudent customer attitude. The significant increase in the liquid component of net inflows (1.0 billion euros) also reflected the contribution arising from the acquisition of new clients, who currently prefer to await the most appropriate moment for planning decisions. Among managed products, mention should be made of the excellent response to the new sub- funds of the Luxembourg-based Sicav Lux IM, launched in April 2018, which has now reached an AUM volume of 8.7 billion euros, marking an increase of over 123% on the end of the first quarter of 2018. In addition, Assets under Advisory amounted to 4.0 billion euros, with an increase ex- ceeding 1.7 billion euros in the current year. Net banking income reached 272.7 million euros, up by 22.1% on the same period of 2018, due in part to the financial market uptrend, which fuelled the contribution of the most volatile compo- nent, i.e., performance fees (+48.2 million euros). Net financial income – the sum of net interest income and net income from trading activities and dividends – declined sharply (-9.0 million euros) compared to the first half of 2018, which had benefited from the banking book de-risking strategy. The decline in net income from trading activities was offset by the significant improvement in net interest income, driven by the sharp rise in yields on Italian government bonds seen starting in the second quarter of 2018 (+25.8%, gross of the effects of the transition to IFRS 16). Operating expenses amounted to 100.9 million euros, increasing compared to the same period of the previous year (+7.7%). The increase was tied to the Bank's pronounced efforts to expedite all of its current strategic projects. This item includes the impact of some one-off components relating to the relocation of the administrative offices and the recent acquisitions for a total of 2.6 million euros, partially offset by the application of the new accounting standard IFRS 16, which contributed 0.7 million euros in terms of operating expenses. Net of these effects, which also include charges associated with the Saxo project, operating expenses reported a 5.7% change, in line with the Bank’s guidance, which calls for an increase of core operating expenses in the range of 3-5%1 for the three-year period 2019-2021. With reference to capital, Banca Generali confirmed the soundness of its regulatory aggregates. CET1 ratio reached 15.7% and Total Capital ratio was 17.1%. It should be noted that the transition to IFRS 16 entailed an adverse effect on the TCR of approx- imately 87 bps due to the recognition of the new RWAs represented by the rights of use, whereas the exclusion from own funds of the retained portion of half-yearly net profit, in accordance with the new dividend policy, resulted in an additional effect that may be estimated at approximately 83 bps.
