Trading business offsets decline in car-leasing activity

Investment unit drives sales growth

French bank confirms 2024 targets

By Mathieu Rosemain

PARIS, Oct 31 (Reuters) -BNP Paribas BNPP.PA said on Thursday that increased trading activity at its investment banking division helped it meet profit forecasts in the third quarter, after its consumer finance and car-leasing businesses disappointed.

The French bank, the euro zone's largest lender, delivered a mixed bag of numbers that contrasted with the forecast-beating results seen at many of its rivals for the three months to end-September.

BNP said group net income over the three-month period ending in September was up 7.8% from a year earlier on a reported basis to 2.87 billion euros ($3.11 billion), in-line with the 2.86 billion-euro analyst average estimate it had compiled.

Revenues rose 3.1% on a reported basis versus a year earlier to 11.9 billion euros, meeting expectations. The cost of risk -- money set aside for bad loans -- came in at 729 million euros, lower than the 859 million euros expected on average by analysts.

BNP under long-time CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafe has been trying to grow its investment bank to offset limited growth in its retail division.

The lender has also turned to acquisitions to try and boost its fortunes, with recent planned deals including buying AXA's asset management arm, AXA IM, for 5.1 billion euros, a 9% stake in insurance company Ageas and acquiring HSBC's private banking activities in Germany.

BNP's investment bank was the group's best performer in the quarter, following on from a strong showing on Wall Street and at rival European houses as investors traded in buoyant markets.

Its equity and prime services sales rose 13% year-on-year and BNP saw a close to 12% increase in fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC), a slightly better performance than Germany's Deutsche Bank DBKGn.DE.

Global corporate financing and advisory services grew by close to 6%, BNP said.

By contrast, BNP's commercial and consumer finance division CPBS saw revenue fall 2.6%, weakened by its car-leasing unit Arval as the sale price of used cars continued to drop.

BNP Paribas reported a 1.7% rise in third-quarter net interest income versus a year earlier, as it navigated a challenging French retail market where strict mortgage rate regulations and fixed savings accounts have denied French banks the same windfall from higher interest rates enjoyed elsewhere.

The French lender on Thursday confirmed its 2024 targets, which included revenue growth of more than 2% compared with 2023 and a group net income of more than 11.2 billion euros.
