    Please note that distribution factors (breakdown between income, capital gains and return of capital) can only be calculated when a fund has reached its year-end. Distribution information should not be relied upon for income tax reporting purposes as this is only a component of total distributions for the year.

Please refer to the prospectus or offering memorandum of each Fund for details of the Fund’s distribution policy.

    The payment of distributions and distribution breakdown, if applicable, is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. The payment of distributions should not be confused with a Fund’s performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the Fund are greater than the performance of the Fund, then an investor’s original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a Fund and income and dividends earned by a Fund are taxable in the year they are paid. An investor’s adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If an investor’s adjusted cost base goes below zero, then capital gains tax will have to be paid on the amount below zero.

(NYSE American: AMBO) (“Ambow” or the “Company”), an AI-driven educational technology company, today announced its financial and operating results for the 2024 second half1 and full fiscal year,2 ended December 31, 2024.

    “In 2024, we achieved full-year profitability and reached key milestones that position us for sustained long-term growth, driven by our sharpened focus on HybriU adoption,” said Dr. Jin Huang, Ambow’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and acting Chief Financial Officer. “We increased revenue, improved margins and strengthened profitability throughout the year, highlighted by a $1.3 million HybriU licensing agreement in the fourth quarter—marking our continued expansion into international markets.”

    HybriU is a cutting-edge, AI-powered phygital (physical + digital) innovation that transforms education, corporate conferencing and events by seamlessly integrating the physical and digital worlds for a smarter, more immersive experience. Designed to bridge the gap between in-person and remote interaction, HybriU delivers real-time AI automation, immersive engagement and intelligent collaboration across industries.

With a strong financial foundation, a lean operational structure, favorable AI tailwinds and a differentiated first-to-market solution, we are well-positioned to drive continued growth and increasing profitability,” Dr. Huang concluded.

    Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

    • Net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $3.5 million, compared with $2.4 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the launch of HybriU.
    • Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $2.3 million, compared with $1.2 million in the same period of 2023. Gross profit margin was 65.7%, compared with 50.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023.
    • Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased by 13.3% to $1.3 million from $1.5 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to reduction in shared center expenses.
    • Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2024 improved to $1.0 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.3 million in the same period of 2023.
    • Net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders was $1.3 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023.

    1 Financial results for the second half of 2024 have not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.

    2 Financial results for the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 have been audited by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.

    Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Highlights

    • Net revenues in fiscal year 2024 increased by 2.2% to $9.4 million from $9.2 million in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by revenue growth from the launch of HybriU, while partially offset by the closure of Bay State College.
    • Gross profit in fiscal year 2024 was $5.0 million, increasing from $2.5 million in 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenues from HybriU and a reduction in payroll expenses and teaching costs upon the closure of Bay State College.
    • Operating expenses in fiscal year 2024 decreased by 16.2% to $5.7 million from $6.8 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced payroll expenses following the closure of Bay State College.
    • Operating loss in fiscal year 2024 narrowed to $0.7 million, compared with a loss of $4.3 million in 2023.
    • Net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders in fiscal year 2024 was $0.3 million, or $0.005 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share in 2023.
    • As of December 31, 2024, Ambow maintained solid cash resources of $8.4 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million and restricted cash of $7.3 million.

    Contingencies

    We are currently involved in two lawsuits concerning our leased property. Filed on July 15, 2024, by Art Block Investors, LLC et al., in the San Diego Superior Court (the “Court”), this unlawful detainer action seeks possession of premises occupied by NewSchool and recovery of $2,255,984.44 in past rent and common area maintenance (CAM) fees. Following trial, the Court issued a Proposed Statement of Decision awarding the plaintiffs possession and damages, with attorney’s fees and costs (estimated $80,000–$100,000) to be determined. NewSchool has objected, but judgment is expected within 30 days, followed by a motion for fees. In addition, filed on September 6, 2024, in the San Diego Superior Court, Art Block Investors, LLC et al. alleges breach of contract and guaranty against NewSchool and Ambow Education Holdings Ltd., seeking $4,466,247.80, potentially offset by amounts recovered in the first lawsuit. We, as defendants, have answered and are contesting the claims; no pretrial or trial dates have been set. The Company continues to evaluate these matters. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made as of December 31, 2024.

  • MIL-OSI: Conifer Holdings Reports 2024 Fourth Quarter and Year End Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TROY, Mich., March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Conifer Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNFR) (“Conifer” or the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.  

    Year End 2024 Financial Highlights

    • Net income allocable to common shareholders of $23.5 million
    • $61 Million gain on sale of insurance agency operations in August 2024
    • Continuing Personal Lines business profitable for the fourth quarter of 2024
    • Book value per share of $1.76 as of December 31, 2024

    Management Comments

    Brian Roney, CEO of Conifer, commented, “2024 was indeed a transitional year for Conifer Holdings as we successfully sold our insurance agency operations, paid down considerable debt, further strengthened reserves, streamlined our organization overall, and focused our production efforts on select personal lines going forward.”

    Reduction of Commercial Lines Business

    For the full year 2024, total Gross Written Premium was down almost 50% from the prior year, and Net Earned premium was down 27.5% for the same period. As a result of the sale of Conifer’s insurance agency operations, completed in August 2024, we anticipated and planned for this significant decline in Commercial Lines revenue. We expect Commercial Lines business to represent a diminishing percentage of total gross written premium going forward.

    Future premiums are expected to consist primarily of Personal Lines business, notably our homeowner’s insurance portfolio in Texas and the Midwest. As detailed in the Personal Lines results overview below, gross written premium for those lines of business for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 10.6% from the prior year period and increased 23.4% for the full year 2024 over the prior year.

    Additional information regarding the disposal of Conifer’s agency business and its impact on future Company operations can be found in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report to be filed March 28, 2025 on Form 10-K.

    2024 Fourth Quarter Gross Written Premium

    Gross written premiums decreased 43.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to $13.7 million, compared to $24.4 million in the prior year period. This decrease reflects the Company’s operational shift away from commercial lines insurance business given the sale of our agency group earlier in the year.

    Personal Lines premium represented 77% of total gross written premium for the fourth quarter of 2024.

    Despite storm activity in the full year, the combined ratio for personal lines business improved significantly in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on management’s good-faith belief and reasonable judgment based on current information. The forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including those described in our Form 10-K (“Item 1A Risk Factors”) filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025 and subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC.

    Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
    Conifer prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Statutory data is prepared in accordance with statutory accounting rules as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, and therefore is not reconciled to GAAP data.

    We believe that investors’ understanding of Conifer’s performance is enhanced by our disclosure of adjusted operating income. Our method for calculating this measure may differ from that used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. We define adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP measure, as net income (loss) excluding: 1) net realized investment gains and losses, 2) change in fair value of equity securities 3) other gains and 4) net income from discontinued operations. We use adjusted operating income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance.

The Company expects to use approximately $103.4 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to repay its outstanding 2.375% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025 at maturity. The Company intends to use any excess proceeds for general corporate purposes.

    CHICAGO, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RCP Advisors, a private equity investment firm that provides access to North American small buyout fund managers through primary funds, secondary funds, and co-investment funds, as well as customized solutions and research services, announced the final closing of RCP Small and Emerging Fund III, LP (“RCP SEF III” or the “Fund”). The Fund closed on approximately $170.3 million in capital commitments, exceeding its target fund size. The Fund has a broad LP base of new and existing investors, including family offices, insurance companies, and high-net-worth individuals.

    “We want to express our sincere gratitude to our limited partners for their continued faith and confidence in our team and strategy. Small company buyouts continue to provide compelling investment opportunities, and we are proud to support promising new managers in the space through our small and emerging strategy,” said Mary Hunt, Principal and Co-Portfolio Manager at RCP Advisors.

    RCP SEF III represents a continuation of the same investment strategy employed by RCP’s previous small and emerging funds-of-funds. The Fund will generally target North American buyout fund managers who are raising their second institutional fund or earlier and targeting $300 million or less in aggregate capital commitments.

    About RCP Advisors
    Founded in 2001, RCP Advisors, a subsidiary of P10, Inc. (NYSE: PX), is a private equity investment firm that provides access to North American small buyout fund managers through primary funds, secondary funds, and co-investment funds, as well as customized solutions and research services. With over $15 billion in committed capital* and 56 professionals as of March 28, 2025, RCP believes that it is one of the largest fund sponsors focused on the lower middle market buyout segment of the North American private equity market.

    The information contained in this press release does not constitute investment advice or an offer or sale of any security or investment product. Offerings are made only pursuant to a private offering memorandum containing important information. Statements are made as of the date of this release, and there is no implication that the information contained herein is correct as of any time subsequent to such date. Some of the statements in this release may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Any forward-looking statements inherently are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those results or events predicted or anticipated by these statements. RCP’s investment strategy is subject to significant risks and there is no guarantee that any fund will achieve comparable results as any prior investments or prior investment funds of RCP. Past performance does not predict, and is not a guarantee of, future results.

    “Committed capital” primarily reflects the capital commitments associated with our SMAs, focused commingled funds, and advisory accounts advised by RCP since the firm’s inception in 2001 (including funds that have since been sold, dissolved, or wound down and certain historical advisory accounts for which RCP’s advisory contracts have expired). We include capital commitments in our calculation of committed capital if (a) we have full discretion over the investment decisions in an account or have responsibility or custody of assets or (b) we do not have full discretion to make investment decisions but play a role in advising the client on asset allocation, performing investment manager due diligence and recommending investments for the client’s portfolio and/or monitoring and reporting on their investments. For our discretionary SMAs and commingled funds, as well as for our non-discretionary advisory accounts for which RCP is responsible for advising on all investments within the client’s portfolio, committed capital is calculated based on aggregate capital commitments to such accounts. For non-discretionary accounts where RCP is responsible for advising only a portion of the client portfolio investments, committed capital is calculated as capital commitments by the client to those underlying investments which were made based on RCP’s recommendation or with respect to which RCP advises the client. Committed capital does not include (i) certain historical non-discretionary advisory accounts no longer under advisement by RCP, (ii) assets managed or advised by the Private Capital Unit or Hark Capital Advisors, LLC, and Bonaccord Capital Advisors, LLC which are independent business lines of RCP 2, (iii) capital commitments to funds managed or sponsored by RCP’s affiliated (but independently operated) management companies, and (iv) RCP’s ancillary products or services.

  • MIL-OSI: OpenDrives Unveils ‘Free Your Data’ Initiative with New Astraeus Cloud-Native Data Services Platform at the 2025 NAB Show

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LOS ANGELES, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OpenDrives, Inc., a leading provider of software-defined data storage and services solutions, is making a bold statement at the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas: It’s time to take back control of your data. This ‘Free Your Data’ initiative is supported by the announcement of Astraeus, OpenDrives’ next-generation cloud-native data services platform.

    With the debut of Astraeus at the show, OpenDrives is tackling the challenges faced by modern enterprises and media workflows by providing the flexibility and resiliency of the cloud, but without the compounding costs, security vulnerabilities, and unpredictable availability of critical resources. As organizations rethink their workflow architectures and consider data repatriation, Astraeus offers an economically scalable and cost-predictable alternative, delivering cloud-like agility and dynamic scalability without the cost and security limitations associated with traditional public cloud storage.

    Astraeus complements the company’s award-winning Atlas data storage and management platform with its unique composability, where you only pay for the features you need in the form of two software bundles. Like Atlas, Astraeus will not charge per-capacity or for higher performance, an attractive benefit for organizations that are looking to scale back on their cloud spend without sacrificing capabilities. Both Atlas and Astraeus tout freedom of choice on where to move your data to with several certified hardware architectures and private cloud options to choose from.

    Introducing Astraeus
    Astraeus is a hardware-agnostic, cloud-native data services platform that merges high-performance storage with the ability to provision and manage integrated data services. This ensures seamless scale-out capabilities and cluster management for demanding workflows like AI/ML, Creative DevOps, VFX, and High-Performance Compute (HPC).

    With Astraeus, organizations can easily repatriate their data, bringing both data and cloud-native applications back on-premises and into the security of a private cloud. Astraeus’ cloud-native architecture allows users to fully experience the dynamic flexibility of critical business applications and move them to a secure, cost-efficient platform without the complications that arise from rearchitecting for traditional infrastructure. Furthermore, with Astraeus’ innovative approach to data services, compute and storage resources can scale independently with your business needs and are easily managed with dynamic provisioning and orchestration capabilities. Creative and non-creative teams alike can now quickly spin-up/spin-down applications, access and manage massive data sets, and optimize resources for demanding workloads.

    Unlike traditional cloud storage models, Astraeus follows an unlimited capacity pricing model, licensing per-node instead of per-capacity, enabling cost predictability and operational efficiency. This flexible model helps you break free from unpredictable cloud pricing structures and removes the anxiety of unexpected monthly increases.

    “The industry is at a turning point, and businesses need the flexibility of cloud without the unpredictability of its costs,” said Sean Lee, CEO of OpenDrives. “For years, organizations have been forced into cloud models that introduce complexity, cost variability, and data accessibility challenges. With Astraeus, we’re delivering a true cloud-native experience that puts you back in control, offering you the speed and scalability you expect, without the constraints of public cloud pricing. It’s more than just a storage or application platform; it’s a foundation for modern workflows, empowering creative and technical teams to manage, move, and leverage data in ways that drive innovation and efficiency. Whether it’s real-time collaboration, AI-driven automation, or high-performance computing, Astraeus is designed to evolve with your needs, ensuring performance, accessibility, and cost-predictability at every stage.”

    OpenDrives will be exhibiting at the upcoming 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Booth SL6612 in the South Hall Lower and will be showing demos and hosting key partners, customers, and prospects by invite only at the Westgate Park Ave Hospitality Suites. Book a meeting with OpenDrives at the 2025 NAB Show.

    High-Yield Opportunities Across Diverse Assets

    HTX Earn offers consistently competitive Annual Percentage Yields (APYs), particularly for stablecoins and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) assets. Key offerings include:

    • USDD Flexible Earn: 8% APY, 9.4x higher than typical stablecoin products, with 1:1 USDT subscription and zero slippage.
    • ETH, TRX, and SOL Flexible Earn: Returns comparable to on-chain staking, without the technical complexities.
    • $HTX Flexible Earn: 4% APY plus automatic entry into Launchpool events, with airdrops of trending project tokens.

    2024 highlights

    • January: Acquisition of a 70% majority stake in DIGIPHARMACIE, an expert in digitisation and management of pharmacy supplier invoices. In November, the company was registered subject to conditions for inclusion in the French electronic invoicing reporting platform (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire or PDP);
    • In December: Acquisition of a 90% stake in CALIMED, a practice management software editor for private practice surgeons, general practitioners and specialists.

    Detailed Analysis by Division

    PHARMAGEST Division: a contraction in earnings reflecting lower like-for-like sales and investments to strengthen teams in Europe (COI/Sales: 18.8% in 2024 and 20.4% for H2 alone)

    The decline in the Division’s operating income was mainly attributable to the unfavourable economic climate in the first half of the year, which led to a sharp drop in sales in France in the configuration and hardware segment.
    In this context, the Division’s business development strategy, focused on acquiring new customers and rolling out new software and hardware solutions, helped contribute to renewed momentum in the second half of the year.
    And without calling into question the efforts to ramp up teams in the first half, cost rationalization measures were implemented which contributed to a profit margin of 21.1% in H2 for historical activities.
    It should be noted that the temporary dilutive effect from the most recent changes in scope on the Division’s average profitability is 0.7% in 2024.

    AXIGATE LINK Division: a consistently high rate of profitability (COI/Sales: 31.8% in 2024 and 34.8% for H2 alone)

    The Division delivered a significant performance in H2 driven by growth in revenue in most of its businesses. This growth makes it possible to absorb the costs of deploying new SaaS solutions (TitanLink) and extending the homecare service offering (DomiLink) for the relevant regional care coordination entities (CRT).

    E-CONNECT division: current operating income declined in response to lower sales (COI/Sales: 42.9% in 2024 and 40.5% for H2 alone)

    As previously reported, the Division’s sales and earnings were boosted in 2023 by the announcement of the discontinuation of Application Reader Terminal sales and strong demand from non-Group software publishers in response.

    Despite this less favourable context, by adopting rigorous cost control and maintaining steady sales with Group software publishers, the division’s profit remained high.

    MEDICAL SOLUTIONS Division: a year of transition from the Ségur programme to a focus on new software solutions (COI/Sales: 2.2% in 2024 and 4.4% for H2 alone)

    Following the roll-out of MédiStory 4 and the Ségur programme, the Division is building a new business model based on a strategy of cross-selling and recurring revenues.
    The cost of developing new software solutions, notably the LOQUii AI voice consultation assistant, launched in Q4 2024, as well as the overhaul of distribution channels, are temporarily impacting the Division’s profitability.

    FINTECH Division: a deterioration in operating income in the second half of the year (COI/Sales: -38.1% in 2024 and -73.4% in H2 alone)

    After a rather encouraging first half, the default of a business contributor forced the Division to book a provision for impairment of €0.5m.

    2024 consolidated balance sheet highlights

    • Cash flow after interest and tax came to €46.9m.
      • In addition to dividends, financial resources are mainly devoted to R&D investments, IT infrastructure and external growth (€21.1m) and debt reduction (€12.6m).
      • Despite these significant investments, the financial surplus remains favourably oriented at €79.5m, compared with €79.3m at 12/31/2023, giving the Group considerable autonomy and investment capacity to support its growth strategy.
      • It should be noted that IFRS 16 lease liabilities and put options for minority shareholders are now recorded under “Other liabilities”.

    Proposed dividend

    The Board of Directors will propose the payment of a gross dividend of €1.25 per share for fiscal 2024 at the Annual General Meeting on June 25, 2025.

    2025 outlook

    Backed by investments in R&D, infrastructure and human capital both in France and in Europe, the Group maintains its target of a return to revenue growth in 2025, with positive momentum in H1 followed by a marked acceleration in H2, with anticipated nominal growth of close to 10%.

    This growth trajectory will be bolstered by:

    • Innovation and Artificial Intelligence as drivers of differentiation, for example LOQUii or id. genius;
    • The gradual transition of new solutions to a SaaS business model to boost recurring revenues;
    • The deployment of new high value-added solutions, such as id. express, id. pay, or solutions for large-scale deployment, like Kap-eCV;
    • The Group’s patient-focused strategy and multi-professional interoperability, with PandaLab and Multimeds.

    While profitability remains solid, it will continue to be impacted by the ongoing investments to prepare for this growth trajectory, which will be based on the Group’s ability to deliver innovative, value-creating offerings to its customers.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP News: XploraDEX $XPL Token Sparks Investor Surge as Demand Skyrockets Across XRP Ecosystem

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ZURICH, Switzerland, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The XRP community is witnessing a breakout moment as investor enthusiasm for the $XPL Token, the native asset powering XploraDEX, surges at an unprecedented rate. Built as the first AI-powered decentralized exchange on the XRP Ledger, XploraDEX is igniting intense interest from both institutional and retail investors looking to capitalize on a new generation of intelligent trading tools.

    In less than a week, the $XPL Token Presale has already seen participation from unique wallets, with multiple whale wallets initiating large, strategic purchases—confirming what early adopters already know: XploraDEX could be the defining DeFi moment for XRPL in 2025.

    GET $XPL TOKENS ON PRESALE

    AI Meets DeFi on XRPL – A Timely Catalyst for a Bullish Ecosystem

    As XRP continues to hold its position as a top-tier blockchain for fast and low-cost transactions, the ecosystem has long lacked a sophisticated DeFi layer to compete with Ethereum and Solana. XploraDEX fills that void and goes further by introducing AI-based trading intelligence, predictive analytics, and fully autonomous liquidity management.

    We didn’t just want to build a DEX, we wanted to build a trading experience that learns, evolves, and helps every user become more profitable,” said a spokesperson from the XploraDEX team. The presale interest we’re seeing validates that vision.

    What’s Fueling the $XPL Presale Frenzy?

    Real Utility from Day One: $XPL isn’t just a governance token, it powers access to exclusive trading tools, fee discounts, staking rewards, and AI analytics modules.

    Market Timing: As AI narratives continue to dominate 2025 investment trends, XploraDEX offers the first DeFi-native opportunity to gain exposure to the AI revolution directly on XRPL.

    Community Momentum: With XRP influencers, Telegram groups, and crypto Twitter amplifying the opportunity, the $XPL presale is turning into one of the most talked-about launches this quarter.

    Whale Activity: Blockchain tracking confirms that top-tier XRP holders are participating heavily, indicating high confidence in the long-term value proposition of XploraDEX.

    BUY $XPL ON PRESALE

    A Deeper Look at $XPL Token Utility

    The XploraDEX platform is built around an ecosystem where $XPL fuels everything. Holders get:

    • Access to AI-powered auto-trading tools
    • Deep fee discounts for frequent users
    • Staking for passive income in XPL and partner tokens
    • Liquidity mining incentives for early DEX participants
    • Governance rights to shape the future of the protocol
    • Priority placement in partner IDOs and DeFi launches

    With such integrated functionality, demand for $XPL isn’t just hype—it’s utility-driven.

    The Window Is Narrowing – Don’t Get Left Behind

    The $XPL Presale is unfolding in structured phases, with token prices increasing at each stage. As of this release, Phase 1 is nearly 80% filled, and momentum is accelerating with every new wallet joining the ecosystem.

    Investors looking to secure their allocation are urged to act quickly before the current tier sells out.

    Conclusion: XploraDEX Is More Than a DEX, It’s XRPL’s AI Frontier

    In a crypto market hungry for substance, XploraDEX brings together innovation, speed, and scalability, all layered with intelligence. The $XPL token represents a chance to be early—not just in a platform, but in an entire category: AI DeFi on XRPL.

  • MIL-OSI: BNP Paribas SA: Restatement of new 2024 quarterly series in the 2025 format

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PRESS RELEASE

    Paris, 28 March 2025

    This restatement has no impact on the Group’s published 2024 results and changes only the analytical breakdown of business lines, divisions and Corporate Centre segment. However, it impacts the risk-weighted assets of the various business lines, divisions and Group.
    ​
    In order to present a consistent reference with the presentation of the financial statements and the results applied from 1 January 2025, the quarterly series for the 2024 financial year include the main effects described below:
    ​

    • The change in the allocation of normalized equity from 11% to 12% of risk-weighted assets: as part of the coming into force of the finalisation of Basel 3 (Basel 4) on 1 January 20251, and in line with its CET1 target of 12%, the Group decided to change the normalized equity allocated to its business lines, excluding Insurance, to 12% of risk-weighted assets, from 11% previously, as of 1 January 2025;
    • The impact of this transposition (Basel 4)1 on the level of risk-weighted assets;
    • Full consolidation in the prudential scope of entities under the exclusive control of the Arval business as if it had occurred on 1 January 2024 (instead of 1 July 2024);
    • The geographical focus (sale and run-off of businesses in 10 countries) carried out by Personal Finance. It leads to the reclassification of income and business data from the non-strategic or non-core perimeter (equivalent to the activities put into run-off) in the Corporate Centre. Personal Finance’s profit and loss account therefore corresponds to the remaining strategic or core perimeter ;
    • A change in revenue allocation methodology between Wealth Management and Corporate Centre;
    • The business indicators at BNL are restated to take into account a precise breakdown of deposits by category (current, savings and term) and off balance sheet savings (assets under Discretionary Portfolio Management now included).

    ​
    ​
    ​The following non-audited appendices detail the 2024 quarterly results in line with these developments.

    • Appendix 1: 2024 restated Group profit & loss, unchanged compared to 2024 Published Group profit & loss
    • Appendix 2: Effects of the restatement on operating divisions
    • Appendix 3: Effects of the restatement on Corporate Centre
    • Appendix 4: Effects on deposits and off balance sheet savings of BNL
