The first three transactions resulted in an increase in the Group s retained earnings of EUR 422 million and in minority interests of EUR 1,363 million.

As at 30 June 2018, the Group considered the loss of control within one year to be highly probable and applied the provisions of IFRS 5 on groups of assets and liabilities held for sale.

The application of IFRS 5 had the effect of splitting the BancWest cash- generating units and, as a result, the related goodwill (i.e. EUR 4.3 billion) between Bank of the West (BoW) and FHI. This split was determined based on the recoverable amounts of the First Hawaiian Bank and BoW activities, and led to the allocation of a EUR 1.3 billion goodwill to FHI.

In addition, assets and liabilities have been reclassified respectively as non-current assets held for sale and liabilities related to non-current assets held for sale.

Following the sale realised on 31 July 2018, the Group ceased to exercise exclusive control over FHI but retained a significant influence. This loss of control resulted in a decrease of EUR 17.4 billion in the Group s balance sheet and a decrease in retained earnings attributable to minority shareholders of EUR -1,473 million.

During the second half of 2018, this operation and the last partial sale generated an overall gain of EUR 286 million before tax recognised in the profit and loss account.

As at 31 December 2018, the Group continues to apply the provisions of IFRS 5.

The effect of IFRS 5 is to assess the equity-method value at the balance sheet date at the lowest value between the book value and the market value. At 31 December 2018, this method resulted in the recognition of a EUR -125 million impairment.

On 29 January 2019, the Group launched a secondary offering for 24.9 million ordinary shares of First Hawaiian Inc. (FHI). As a result of this transaction, the BNP Paribas Group has sold its entire 18.4% stake in FHI.

During the first half of 2019, this operation generated an overall gain of EUR 82 million before tax, recognised in the profit and loss account.
