About Crédit Agricole S.A.

Crédit Agricole S.A. is the listed central entity of the Crédit Agricole Group, operating as a major French and European banking organization that coordinates a network of local cooperative caisses along with subsidiaries active in retail banking (including LCL), corporate and investment banking (Crédit Agricole CIB), asset management and insurance, and international commercial banking; it is quoted on Euronext Paris and functions as the principal vehicle for the group's wholesale activities and capital markets access. The business model combines a large, deposit-rich domestic retail franchise with trading, advisory and capital markets operations that generate more cyclical income, and the group’s earnings and risk profile therefore reflect both stable retail lending (notably mortgages and consumer credit) and exposure to market, credit and sovereign risks through its wholesale and international businesses. As a significant European banking group, Crédit Agricole S.A. is subject to European and French prudential supervision and capital requirements, and investors and counterparties typically evaluate the bank on metrics such as capital adequacy, asset quality, non-performing loan trends, funding structure and sensitivity to interest-rate and market volatility; strategic priorities in recent years have emphasized diversification of income streams and cost control, while the institution’s concentrated exposure to the French economy remains a key factor in its risk assessment.
