2. Certification by the person responsible for the registration document:
I hereby certify, having taken all reasonable measures to this end, that to the best of my knowledge, the information
contained in this updated 2015 Registration Document is true and that there are no omissions that could impair its
meaning.
I certify that to the best of my knowledge, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements were drawn up in
accordance with applicable accounting standards and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and
results of the parent company and of the entire Group as constituted by the consolidated companies, and that the
Interim Management Report included in the sections of the present update, listed in the cross-reference table in section
7 accurately reflects the major events that took place over the first six months of the financial year, their impact on the
accounts, the key transactions between related parties, as well as a description of the main risks and uncertainties for
the remaining six months of the financial year.
I received a letter of completion from the statutory auditors in which they state that they verified the information in respect
of the financial position and accounts presented in this update and that they read through the entire 2015 Registration
Document and this update (A-01).
The historic financial information presented in the 2015 Registration Document was addressed in the Statutory Auditors’
reports, appearing on pages 137 to 138 and 202 to 204 of the 2015 Registration Document, in addition to financial
information included in reference to fiscal years 2013 and 2014, respectively on pages 133 to 134 and 191 to 192 of the
2013 Registration Document and on pages 139 to 140 and 202 to 203 of the 2014 Registration Document.
The Statutory Auditor’s reports referring to the 2013, 2014 and 2015 annual consolidated financial statements contain
one observation.

2. Management Report
First-Half 2016
Sluggish global growth, undermined
by rising political risks in developed
countries
After a turbulent start to the year, financial markets and
commodities have benefited from a lull between March
and early June. The price of oil reversed some of its slide
in late 2015. During the period, the global equity markets
have generally stabilised. Against this backdrop, the
global economic environment remains difficult, rendered
even more vulnerable by major political elections due to
occur in the short and medium term in the United States,
Italy, France, and so on.
In the United States, the state of affairs at the start of
the year presented sharp contrasts, with underwhelming
figures for consumption and investment levels dropping.
The resurgence in growth over the second quarter could
open the door to another key interest rate hike in the
months to come. As for the emerging economies, the
climate remained gloomy overall since the year began.
The decline in commodity prices significantly impacted
some countries such as Russia or Brazil. These countries
fell into recession with a spike in inflation exacerbated by
the depreciation of their currencies.
In the eurozone, activity remained stable in the first half
of the year. Faced with risks to growth and inflation, the
ECB once again stepped up its monetary easing in March:
the expansion of its asset purchase (QE - Quantitative
Easing) programme, which is now open to corporate
bonds, further cuts to its key interest rates (including a
deposit facility rate set at -0.40%), and a new programme
(TLTRO) to provide long-term financing for the economy
through bank credit. Furthermore, the UK’s future exit from
the European Union clearly heightened the uncertainty
that already posed a persistent threat to the European
economy. Although the German economy continued to
move in a positive direction and remained a driving force
for Europe, due to strong consumption and record-low
unemployment, the Spanish and Italian economies were
still highly fragile and their recoveries uncertain.
In France, growth was shaky but demonstrated a slightly
more positive trend (and prospects) in the first half.
Household consumption increased early in the year,
sustained by growing purchasing power and zero inflation.
Business investment showed some signs of improvement
in a context of low interest rates and tax incentives
intended to boost demand. However, major vulnerabilities
remain, particularly a still-high unemployment rate. The
recent turnaround observed in the employment market
still needs to be consolidated.
Even in challenging circumstances, Crédit
du Nord Group delivered solid sales activity
and resilient financial performance
Crédit du Nord posted significantly higher earnings for
the first six months of 2016, boosted by a gain earned
by tendering its VISA Europe securities to the VISA Inc.
offering (€110.4 million). As a result, consolidated NBI rose
+11.8% to €1,098.7 million at June 30, 2016. Operating
expenses remain under control at -€606.1 million (+0.2%).
Meanwhile, the cost of risk decreased significantly to
-€62.4m, confirming a positive trend for the Group’s
risk profile. Operating income improved by +46.0% to
€430.2 million, bringing Group consolidated net income
up by +66.1% to €327.8 million.
These positive results bring Crédit du Nord Group’s ROE
to 22.4%, for a fully loaded Basel 3 Common Equity Tier
1 ratio of 9.3% at June 30, 2016.
The Group’s NBI fell by -2.1% over the first half after
restatement for the gain on the VISA transaction, PEL/
CEL loss allowances and non-economic items (fair value
measurement of financial liabilities, valuation of derivative
products - Credit Value Adjustment [CVA] and Debit Value
Adjustment [DVA]).

Management Report
Restated for these items, the net interest margin fell
by -6.0%, despite a substantial increase in deposit
volumes and solid levels of loan origination in all of the
Group’s markets. The interest margin was held back by
a persistent low-interest rate environment that weighed
down operating margins.
Net fee income gained +3.7%, buoyed by an increase in
service fees (+4.9%). This trend was driven by substantial
customer acquisition and a sustained effort to increase
the number of products sold to customers and expand
the product range. Variable insurance commission
inflows during the first half were also a contributing factor.
Financial fee income was stable over the six-month
period, reflecting a difficult market environment despite
robust sales for the Group’s growth drivers.
Crédit du Nord posted strong performance
for its growth drivers
Financial savings maintained its momentum over the
first half of 2016 (particularly with a +10.7% increase in
life insurance inflows).
In a tougher financial market environment, Group advisors
continued their efforts to promote Financial Savings
with our target customer base of high-end and wealth
management clients. Nearly 22,000 Antarius Sélection
and Antarius Duo life insurance policies were sold.
“Gestion Initiale” production benefited from extraordinary
sales, with 4,200 contracts signed. This option, which
was launched in 2015, assists high-end and wealth
management customers with managing their assets.
The Private Banking business continued to expand:
• with more than 3,300 clients at end-June 2016, up
+17% year-on-year, and net inflows of €522 million,
up by +132%;
• NBI was up +26% compared to June 30, 2015.
The Forex and Fixed Income business was down
slightly (-4% NBI) compared to 2015, which had been an
extraordinary year.
As for insurance product distribution, the first half
of 2016 was a period of robust activity. The launch of
14
Crédit du Nord Group - Update to the 2015 Registration Document
Accidents de la Vie personal injury insurance at the start
of the year was a resounding success with nearly 12,000
policies sold in six months. After two successful years,
the Multi Risk Housing product continued to be driven
by real sales momentum (nearly 15,000 policies sold).
Finally, personal protection, casualty and bank insurance
policies accounted for a total of 66,000 policies sold in
the first half.
Crédit du Nord is ramping up its digitisation
and digital transformation projects, aimed
at improving sales efficiency and customer
satisfaction
Crédit du Nord continued its efforts to enhance the
workstations at its branches by incorporating new working
situations and new products and services (launch of a new
range of Accidents de la Vie personal injury insurance
products and Etoile Etudes student loans).
Crédit du Nord has been a pioneer in terms of providing
its advisors with mobile solutions, equipping all of its
employees with tablet computers. It also continued to
expand the tasks that can be carried out remotely, leading
to constant improvement in the speed and simplicity
with which we respond to the needs of our clients and
prospects:
• using their tablets, professional customer advisors can
not only present the various financial products and
banking services, run simulations, and access video
conferencing solutions, but they can also, as of the
first half of this year, open accounts for clients or sign
them up for products using an electronic signature.
This brings the bank to our clients.
• access to various remote banking services was
combined under a single number (34 50) that offers
clients the possibility of carrying out most simple
banking transactions by phone with a multimedia
advisor from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, when
their branch is closed.
• clients can also sign up for products and services
remotely or by phone through their usual branch
advisor without the need for a visit.

Management Report
Crédit du Nord continued to overhaul its banking
applications to offer the same features on all channels
(internet, smartphone and tablet computers) using
a modern, fluid and user-friendly interface so that its
independent clients can carry out their transactions
themselves. As a result, services such as entering
beneficiaries, transferring funds, checking upcoming
direct debits and viewing personal protection and other
insurance policies are provided no matter which device
or operating system (Android, iOS and Windows) is used.
After 2015, a historic year in terms of customer acquisition,
growth in the active Individual Customer base slowed
down slightly in the first half of 2016, at 2.2% year-onyear, with more than 65,800 new clients. At June 30,
2016, the customer base consisted of nearly 1.9 million
active individual customers.
Two new special applications were also launched this
year: the smartwatch app and the employee savings app.

In the interest of permanently guaranteeing the
confidentiality of information exchanged and helping
clients browse securely, Crédit du Nord offers them secure
software (“Trusteer”).
More and more clients, whether Individuals or Businesses,
are checking their account statements online.
Overall, digital technologies are an integral part of Crédit
du Nord Group’s fulfilment of our promise to focus on our
client relationships.
The spread of these applications to multiple profiles, the
upgrades to newer and more powerful software versions,
the expansion of features available and the improvement
in accessibility through several remote channels are all
testimony to our desire to constantly adapt to meet the
needs of our clients while remaining close to them.

Growth of the customer base in the first half of 2016 was
enhanced by customer acquisition campaigns that used
word-of-mouth and synergies with the Professional and
Business Customer markets.
The Priority Contact List (LCP) established a few years
ago is still paying off in terms of increasing the number
of products and services sold to each client: nearly 48%
of clients have six or more products. In fact, the LCP
helps advisors target which clients they should contact
depending on events in their lives or their appetite score.
The indicators provided relate to euro-based businesses,
which account for virtually all of the Group’s activities.
Outstanding loans and growth in customer bases are
based upon period-end figures.

The first half of 2016 saw significant momentum in the
Professional Customer market.
The Professional Customer base grew rapidly in 2015.
Momentum in terms of new customer relationships (more
than 12,000 new professional customers acquired, up
+2.4% versus 2015) went hand-in-hand with a keen focus
on the quality of targeted prospective customers: Fortyfive percent are businesses launched more than two years
ago and 22% of new qualified customers are independent
professionals. Ultimately, the active professional customer
base posted highly dynamic growth of +3.5% (excluding
private banking relationships).
This improvement speaks to the quality of Crédit du
Nord Group’s local presence, with tailored products and
services, as well as dedicated account managers trained
to address both the personal and commercial aspects of
our customer relationships.
Sales of new products to existing professional customers
were robust, driven by the success of the Convention
Alliance package deal, held by 75% of the customer base.
In addition, nearly 47% of professional customers turn to
the Group for both their business and personal banking
needs. Forty-two percent of Crédit du Nord’s professional
customers have four or more products.
The active Business Customer base grew by +1.8%.
More than one out of four new customer relationships
was established with companies generating more than
€7.5 million in revenue. The number of customers whose
main baking relationship is with Crédit du Nord grew by
3.2% among businesses with revenue below €7.5 million
and 3.7% among businesses with revenue above €7.5
million.

New product launches
New products and services were launched in 2016:
• in the Individual Customer market, the new Accidents
de la Vie personal injury insurance product gives clients
coverage for non-occupational accidents (domestic
or medical accidents, natural disasters, assault, etc.).
This insurance can cover entire families. Two versions
(“Essentielle” and “Sérénité”) are available to match
client needs.
• in the Professional Customer market, Crédit du Nord
signed an agreement with the “jedeclare.com” platform
developed under the authority of the Supreme Council
of the National Association of Chartered Accountants.
This platform makes it possible to electronically transmit
the account statements and tax files of clients shared
by the bank and accountants;
• in the Business Customer market, a new mobile app
has been launched. It is available in the Apple Store
and Google Play and allows clients to manage their
accounts from their smartphones and tablets.
Customer satisfaction surveys
The Group’s performances are also measured by
satisfaction surveys. In 2016, the competition survey
conducted by CSA(1) ranked Crédit du Nord among the
leaders in customer satisfaction: the bank took second
place in three markets (Individual, Professional and
Business Customers). This survey places a particular
emphasis on the quality of the client’s relationship with
advisors and branch personnel.
(1) Competition survey measuring customer satisfaction carried out by polling
institute CSA on a representative sample of more than 14,400 individual,
professional and business customers of the top 11 French banks.

Management Report
Another sharp rise in on-balance sheet
savings
On-balance sheet savings increased +9.8% year-on-year,
driven predominantly by the rise in demand deposits.
After two consecutive years (2014 and 2015) in which a
substantial level of demand deposit inflows was recorded,
the trend continued in 2016. Demand deposits picked
up by +8.3% year-on-year on the Individual Customer
market. On the Professional and Business Customer
markets, there was an equally robust increase of +14.4%.
In total, €3.6 billion in on-balance sheet deposit inflows
were recorded year-on-year, including €2.3 billion in the
first half of 2016 alone. They were buoyed once again
by persistently high customer cash surpluses even in the
context of a weak economic recovery.
Regulated savings account deposits were down slightly
by -0.4%. Livret A savings book assets were stable while
sustainable development savings book (LDD) and regular
savings book (CSL) assets declined slightly, as they
were shifted into life insurance vehicles, which drained
household savings. On the plus side, Home Savings
inflows remained on track, with deposits up +4% yearon-year.
As for business customers, the regular savings book for
Institutional customers and term accounts (CAT) continued
to post remarkable gains (more than +25% year-on-year).
This raised the volume of savings in institutional CSLs and
term accounts to more than €8 billion at end-June 2016,
with nearly €1.2 billion in inflows over the first half of 2016.

Among off-balance sheet savings, life
insurance AuM rose, while the environment
for SICAV-FCP mutual funds was more
difficult
Life insurance AUM continued to grow in the first half of
2016, up +3.3% year-on-year. Gross inflows remained
buoyant, soaring to €1.5 billion, i.e., +10.7% compared
to June 2015. Net inflows grew by +6.5% to €709 million.
In a difficult stock market climate, medium- to long-term
SICAV-FCP assets fell significantly (-10.5%) in the first half
to €1.7 billion. Short-term SICAV-FCP assets continued to
plunge, down by -59.4% year-on-year. Returns on these
vehicles were heavily impacted by low short-term money
market rates.

After an extraordinary 2015, real estate
lending posted declines in the first half
The first six months of 2015 were marked by a record level
of new real estate loans, boosted by an unprecedented
wave of loans repurchased from competitors. Against this
particular backdrop, issuance of new loans fell by -18.3%
in the first half of 2016, obscuring a trend that nonetheless
remained buoyant over the period.

In order to provide an economic assessment of financial
performance, the following comments are restated in the
analyses of Group results:
• the gains earned from tendering VISA Europe securities
to the VISA Inc. offering (+€110.4 million);
• future commitments associated with home loan
savings products (-€1.2 million as at June 30, 2016);
• fair value measurement of financial liabilities
(+€1.4 million as at June 30, 2016);
• valuation of derivatives - Credit Value Adjustment
(CVA) - and Debit Value Adjustment (DVA) (-€1.1 million
as at June 30, 2016).
Consolidated net fee income improved by +3.7%. Service
fee income rose +4.9%, driven by robust customer
acquisition in 2015, a strong focus on increasing the
number of products and services sold to customers and
variable insurance commission inflows. Financial fee
income was stable, reflecting a difficult and volatile market
environment.

to an increase in the contribution to the Single Resolution

Crédit du Nord Group’s consolidated cost of risk (1) totalled
-€62.4 million at June 30, 2016 versus -€83.3 million at
June 30, 2015, Cost of risk divided by the total loans
issued by the Group equalled 0.28%, down 15 basis
points compared to the same period in 2015.
On the Business Customer market, the cost of risk in the
first half of 2016, not including collective loss allowances,
fell slightly compared to the first half of 2015, due primarily
to low levels of new loss allowances in the first quarter.
Gross outstanding loans
Net cost of risk, which fell substantially during the first half,
reflected a strong positive impact due to the six-month
review of parameters used to establish loss allowances
for the retail market.
In fact, for the Individual and Professional Customer
markets, cost of risk over the period was favourably
affected by the recalibration of the statistical loss
allowance model, which reflects the improvement noted
on these markets in the recovery curves for loans in default
over the most recent quarters under observation. After
restatement to reflect this technical impact, the Individual
and Professional Customer markets nevertheless
recorded a reduction in risk between these periods, with
a slightly bigger effect on the Professional Customer
market given the action plan launched by the Bank that
specifically targeted this market.
(in €m)
Doubtful and disputed loans (gross)
The loss allowance ratio for doubtful and disputed loans
(net of guarantees received) was 75.8%, in line with the
trend for previously observed ratios.
In addition, collective loss allowances significantly
impacted the cost of risk on the cost of risk over the first
half, related to an increase in “performing loans under
watch” in the Business Customer market, primarily due
to several individual loans with high amounts. In contrast,
the first half of 2015 benefited from a decrease in the
calculation base and the resulting reversal of the related
loss allowance.

Outlook
In an environment of persistently low interest rates, despite
the European Central Bank’s accommodative monetary
policy promoting business investment, growth prospects
for the eurozone in 2016 were revised downward due
to the consequences of Brexit, which also reinforced
major uncertainties holding back European economies.
Favourable oil prices and exchange rates should
nevertheless remain positive consumption factors in the
second half of 2016.
In a context marked by the breadth of the transformation
sweeping the banking sector (digital revolution, regulatory
constraints), Crédit du Nord began to overhaul its business
model.
The various resulting initiatives draw on the successful
actions undertaken in recent years, with a focus on
furthering and ramping up these efforts to meet new
challenges (particularly the necessary consolidation of
expertise and the distribution of new technologies to
customers).
In order to continue to hold a strong position in the new
banking environment, Crédit du Nord Group reasserted the
seriousness of its ambitions through four commitments:
• continuing to lead the way in customer satisfaction
by delivering the services expected by its clients at the
right time and in the right way;
• stepping up efforts aimed at developing its customer
base and revenues, drawing on the sales momentum
built up over the past two years and on the successful
activation of its growth drivers (distribution of personal
protection insurance products, Private Banking,
Corporate Finance, etc.);
• maintaining attractive profit margins in order
to be able to finance its investments and preserve
shareholder trust;
• conducting the Group transformation process with
a series of objectives, primarily focused on enhancing
its customer relationship model (better differentiation
in its approach to the different customer segments,
adaptation of its operational infrastructure).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
NOTE 1 Main valuation and presentation rules for the consolidated financial statements
1. Introduction
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements
of Crédit du Nord Group (“the Group”) in respect of the
interim results at June 30, 2016, have been prepared
and are presented in accordance with IAS (International
Accounting Standards) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.
As such, the notes to the condensed interim consolidated
financial statements relate to the major events and
transactions affecting the Group’s financial position and
performance over the first half of 2016. These notes must
be read with the audited consolidated financial statements
for the period ended December 31, 2015 as they appear in
the Registration Document relative to the 2015 fiscal year.
Furthermore, as the Group’s activities are neither seasonal nor
cyclical, the interim results are not influenced by these factors.
The consolidated financial statements are presented
in euros.
2. New standards
The accounting principles and methods used to establish
the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
are identical to those used the Group to prepare
its consolidated financial statements for the period
ended December 31, 2015, in compliance with IFRS
(International Financial Reporting Standards), as adopted
by the European Union and outlined in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements for 2015, completed
by the following amendments applied by the Group as at
January 1, 2016.

income or shareholders’ equity.
Amendments to IAS 19 “Defined Benefit
Plans: Employee Contributions”
These amendments concern employee contributions to
defined-benefit plans. Their aim is to simplify the recognition
of these contributions where they are independent of the
number of years worked by employees.

Crédit du Nord Group - Update to the 2015 Registration Document
Annual improvements (2010-2012
and 2012-2014) to IFRS
As part of the annual process of improving International
Financial Reporting Standards, the IASB published a
series of amendments to existing standards.
Amendments to IFRS 11 “Acquisition
of an interest in a joint operation”
These amendments clarify how to recognise the
acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, which
constitutes a “business combination” as defined by IFRS
3. Accordingly, IFRS 3 guidelines should be applied in
respect of the interest acquired.
Consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2016
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38
“Clarification of acceptable methods
of depreciation and amortisation”
The IASB has confirmed that the use of the income
method to calculate the depreciation or amortisation of
an asset is not appropriate, barring exceptions.
5
Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation
of Financial Statements”
In these amendments, the IASB encourages entities to
use their professional judgement when choosing what
disclosures to publish in their financial statements. The
IASB clarifies the concept of materiality and how to apply
it to avoid publishing immaterial information that might
obscure the financial statements.
Accounting standards and interpretations that the Group will apply in the future
The IASB has published standards and interpretations that had not yet been adopted by the European Union as at
June 30, 2016. Application of these standards and interpretation shall only be mandatory as of January 1, 2017 at
the earliest, or upon their adoption by the European Union. Consequently, they were not applied by the Group at
June 30, 2015.

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
The purpose of IFRS 9 is to overhaul IAS 39. IFRS 9
defines the new rules for classifying and measuring
financial assets and liabilities, the new impairment
methodology for financial assets, and the accounting
treatment of hedging transactions, with the exception
of macro-hedges, for which a separate draft standard is
currently being prepared by the IASB.
published in July 2014, the Group has provided its Risk
and Finance functions with a special structure to conduct
the preparatory work for implementing the standard,
which comes into force on January 1, 2018.
Subject to its adoption by the European Union, IFRS 9 will
apply to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018,
replacing the accounting principles currently applied for
recognising financial instruments.
In the first six months of 2016, the Group continued
to review its portfolios of financial assets in order to
determine their future classification and measurement
methods under IFRS 9. In addition, work on calibrating
and validating the framework methodology defining the
rules for assessing increases in credit risk and determining
12-month and lifetime expected credit losses, including
the consideration of forecasts, are currently being finalised.
Organisation of the IFRS 9 implementation
programme
Scoping studies on adapting information systems and
processes are also ongoing and some work has begun
on IT developments.
The Group began preliminary work in 2013 to gain an
understanding of the potential consequences of the
future application of IFRS 9. In the version of this standard
At this stage of the IFRS 9 implementation programme,
reasonable estimates of the impacts of its application
cannot be quantified.

Consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2016
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
IFRS 15 “Revenues from Contracts
with Customers” and related clarifications
This standard defines the guidelines for recognising
income applicable to all contracts entered into with
customers. There are five steps to be followed:
identification of the contract entered into with the
customer, identification of the performance obligations
included in the contract, determination of the transaction
price of the contract, allocation of the transaction price to
the various performance obligations, and recognition of
income where a performance obligation is met.
Furthermore, amendments have provided clarifications
on its application with respect to the following items:
identification of performance obligations, distinguishing
between principals/agents, and intellectual property
licences.
An analysis of the impacts of IFRS 15 on Group net income
and shareholders’ equity is in progress.
IFRS 16 “Leases”
This new standard changed the way leases are recognised,
especially in the financial statements of the lessee. The
methods for identifying a lease have been changed to
differentiate between the accounting treatments of leases
and service contracts. For any lease, a lessee must
recognise on its balance sheet an asset representing the
right to use the leased asset and a liability representing
the obligation to pay rent. In the income statement, the
depreciation of the asset must be recognised separately
from interest on the lease liability.
Amendments to IAS 12 “Recognition of
Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses”
These amendments provide clarification on the recognition
of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt
instruments measured at fair value.
Amendments to IAS 7 “Disclosure Initiative”
These amendments are intended to improve the quality of
disclosures on changes in liabilities arising from financing
activities, whether these changes arise from cash flows
or not.
36
Crédit du Nord Group - Update to the 2015 Registration Document
Amendments to IFRS 2 “Clarifications
of Classification and Measurement
of Share-Based Payment Transactions”
These amendments clarify the methods for recognising
certain types of share-based payment transactions:
modelling of performance conditions no matter how
settlement is made, the impact of tax withholdings on
plans, accounting treatment of changes in the way plans
are settled.
3. Use of estimates and judgement
In drawing up the consolidated financial statements, the
application of the accounting principles and methods
described in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements led Management to develop assumptions and
make estimates that may have an impact on the amounts
booked to the income statement or under gains and losses
booked directly to equity, the valuation of balance sheet
assets and liabilities, and the disclosures presented in the
relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In order to make these estimates and develop these
assumptions, Management uses data available at the
date on which the consolidated accounts are prepared
and may be called upon to use its own judgement. By
nature, the valuations based on these estimates contain
risks and uncertainties as to whether they will materialise
in the future. Consequently, the final future results of the
transactions in question may differ from these estimates
and therefore have a significant impact on the financial
statements.
These estimates were chiefly used to measure the
fair value of financial instruments, the value of asset
impairments, loss allowances recorded as liabilities on
the balance sheet, deferred tax assets recorded on the
balance sheet and goodwill.
Consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2016
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
4. Purchase of Visa Europe by Visa Inc.
After approval by the competent European authorities,
Visa Inc.’s purchase of unlisted Visa Europe shares held by
the Group and recorded under “Available-for-sale financial
assets”, for which a contract was signed on November
2, 2015, was settled on June 21, 2016. The Visa Europe
shares were sold in exchange for a three-part settlement:
an immediate payment in cash, a deferred payment in
cash and an immediate transfer of Visa Inc. preferred
shares. The Visa Inc. preferred shares may be converted
into ordinary shares after four to 12 years depending
5
on the conditions precedent. They will not be listed and
their transferability is restricted. To measure the value
of the preferred shares received, their illiquidity and the
uncertainty over the factors that will determine the rate
at which they will finally be converted into ordinary Visa
Inc. shares was taken into account by the Group based
on estimates and assumptions similar to those used to
measure the value of Visa Europe shares at December 31,
2015. This sale has resulted in the recognition of a €110.4
million gain under “Net gains or losses on available-forsale financial assets” (Group share of the net amount after
tax: €105.8 million).
NOTE 2 Changes in the consolidation scope
Change in scope in H1 2016
The consolidation scope included 23 companies at
June 30, 2016:
• 21 fully consolidated companies;
• 2 companies accounted for by the equity method,
including one joint venture and one entity under
significant influence.
The consolidation scope includes subsidiaries (entities
controlled by the Group), joint arrangements (joint
operations or joint ventures over which the Group exercises
joint control) and associates (entities over which the Group
exercises significant influence), whose financial statements
are material relative to the Group’s consolidated financial
statements, particularly with respect to total balance sheet
assets and gross operating income.
No changes were made to the consolidation scope in the
first half of 2016.
Upcoming events
On February 25, 2015, the Group terminated the
memorandum of understanding binding Aviva France
and Crédit du Nord in Antarius, the insurance company
exclusively serving the Crédit du Nord networks, now
jointly owned by Aviva France and Crédit du Nord. This
termination resulted in the exercise of a call option on
Aviva France’s 50% stake in Antarius. At the end of
the two-year period provided for in the agreements so
that the company’s operational management can be
transferred smoothly to Sogécap, Antarius will be wholly
owned by Societe Generale Group (jointly by Sogécap
and Crédit du Nord).

(1) Since income and expense presented on the income statement are categorised by type and not by the recipient, net income on transactions in financial instruments at fair value
through profit or loss must be assessed as a whole. It is worth noting that the above earnings do not include the cost of refinancing these financial instruments, which is included
in interest income and expense.
(2) The effects of counterparty risk in the fair value of financial derivatives (Credit Value Adjustment - CVA) and own credit risk in the valuation of financial derivatives (Debit Value
Adjustment - DVA) were, respectively:
• -€0.7 million and -€0.3 million in the first half of 2016;
• -€1.7 million and -€13.3 million in 2015;
• -€3.7 million and -€11.5 million in the first half of 2015;
The CVA effect in respect of Societe Generale Group came out at -€0.2 million and the DVA effect at -€0.3 million in the first half of 2016.

Contribution of 3.3% (after deduction from taxable income
of €0.76 million), introduced in 2000. For fiscal years 2013,
2014 and 2015, an Exceptional Contribution of 10.7%
was also added on all profitable companies generating
revenue of more than €250 million. This contribution will
no longer be applied as of the 2016 fiscal year.
Long-term capital gains on equity investments are
tax-exempt, subject to taxation of a share of fees and
expenses equivalent to 12% of the gross capital gain
according to the 2013 Finance Act.
In addition, up until 2015, dividends received under the
parent company/subsidiary regime were tax-exempt,
54
First-Half 2016
Crédit du Nord Group - Update to the 2015 Registration Document
subject to taxation on a 5% share representing fees and
expenses. Following a change in tax law that came into
effect in 2016, the share of fees and expenses is:
• 1% for a subsidiary that is part of the tax consolidation
group (this share can no longer be offset at the tax
consolidation group level);
• 5% for a subsidiary that is not part of the tax
consolidation group.
The tax rate used to calculate the deferred taxes of
French companies was 34.43% for earnings taxed at the
standard rate. For earnings taxed at the reduced rate,
the reduced rate is 4.13% given the type of transactions
involved.

5. Statutory auditors’ review report on the half-yearly
financial statements
For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2016
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors’ review report on the half-yearly financial information issued
in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating
to the specific verification of information given in the group’s half-yearly management report. This report should be read
in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your annual general meeting and in accordance with the requirements
of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French monetary and financial code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
• the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Crédit du Nord, for the
period from January 1 to June 30, 2016;
• the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of your board of directors. Our
role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
I- Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying
analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed
half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 –
standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
II- Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly
consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated
financial statements.

Capital adequacy ratio
Disclosures under Pillar 3
The Basel 3 capital adequacy ratio was 11.7% at June 30, 2016 (with a Basel 3 Core Tier 1 ratio of 9.3%).
As a result, the Group share of equity stood at €2,920.3 million at June 30, 2016 (compared to €2,943.0 million at
December 31, 2015).
After taking prudential deductions into account, prudential Basel 3 Core Tier 1 capital came out at €1,642.3 million and
Basel 3 risk-weighted assets stood at €17,637.6 million.
Risk-weighted assets can be broken down as follows by type of risk:
• credit risk exposure of €16,505.8 million, accounting for 93.6% of risk-weighted assets at June 30, 2016;
• market risk exposure of €101.2 million, accounting for 0.6% of risk-weighted assets at June 30, 2016;
• operational risk exposure of €1,030.6 million, accounting for 5.8% of risk-weighted assets at June 30, 2014.

Leverage ratio
Crédit du Nord Group calculates its leverage in accordance with the leverage ratio framework defined by the Basel
Committee in January 2014. These rules have been enacted into European regulations (CRR as amended by the
Commission Delegated Act of October 10, 2014).
The leverage ratio is managed with the intention of calibrating the amount of Tier 1 capital (the numerator of the leverage
ratio) and to control the Group’s total leveraged exposure (the ratio’s denominator).
The minimum amount mentioned in the Basel Committee’s recommendations is 3%.
The leverage ratio is currently being observed to determine the minimum requirements. When they are established, the
Group’s target will be adjusted as required. At June 30, 2016, Crédit du Nord Group’s leverage ratio stood at 2.5%.
