MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

  

Cidade de Deus, Osasco, SP, February 6, 2017

 

Dear shareholders,

 

We are pleased to invite you to the Special and Annual Shareholders' that we will hold cumulatively at 4 p.m. on March 10, at our headquarters in Osasco, SP, Núcleo Cidade de Deus, Prédio Vermelho, at the Salão Nobre of the 5th floor, Vila Yara, in order to examine, discuss and vote on the matters of the Call Notice that we will publish in the official newspapers from tomorrow, February 7.

We must inform you that, pursuant to the laws in force, if it is not possible to attend the Meetings, from this year on Bradesco will adopt the remote voting system, a mechanism that will allow the shareholders through the simple remittance of the "Remote Voting Form", to exercise the right to vote without the need to be physically present or to previously grant a proxy for that purpose.

 

So, in this Manual we are making available to you, we highlight a chapter to discuss, in detail, this new system. In the other chapters, we seek to consolidate the largest number of possible information and the guidance to enable a thorough assessment for the decision-making process regarding the matters in our Agenda.

 

Registering our thanks for the support, preference and trust placed in Bradesco, we make ourselves available to you to provide further information.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Lázaro de Mello Brandão

 

Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi

Chairman of the Board of Directors

 

CEO and

Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Banco Bradesco S.A. hereby submits, to be examined and resolved by you, proposal to increase the capital stock by R$8,000,000,000.00, going from R$51,100,000,000.00 to R$59,100,000,000.00, with bonus in shares, through the capitalization of part of the balance of the "Profit Reserve - Statutory Reserve", pursuant to Article 169 of Law No. 6,404/76, issuing 555,360,173 registered book-entry shares with no par value, being 277,680,101 common shares and 277,680,072 preferred shares, which will be allocated free of charge to the shareholders in the proportion of 1 new share for each 10 shares of the same type they hold on the base-date:

 

I.          Goals: the bonus operation’s purpose is to: a) increase the liquidity of the shares in the market, considering that the greater amount of outstanding shares will possibly generate a growth in the business; b) enable an adjustment in the shares price, making the unit price more attractive and accessible to a larger number of investors; and c) improve the compliance of the balance of the profit reserve with the legal limits.

 

II.        Data-Base of Right to Bonus Stock: it will be announced to the market after the approval of the respective process by the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

III.      Trading: current shares will continue to be traded with the right to bonus and the new shares shall be available for trading after the approval of the said process by the Central Bank of Brazil and the inclusion in the position of the shareholders, which will be dealt with in a notice to the market.

 

IV.      Right to Shares with Bonus – will be entitled to dividends and/or interest on own capital that may be declared as of the date of their inclusion in the position of shareholders. They are also entitled, in full, to any benefits attributed to other shares as of the aforementioned date.

 

V.        Monthly Interest on Shareholders’ Equity: will be maintained at R$0.017249826 per common share and R$0.018974809 per preferred share (gross), with the payment for the net amount of R$0.014662352 per common share and R$0.016128588 per preferred share, after the deduction of tax income at the source of 15% (fifteen percent). Will continue to be paid in accordance with the Systematics of Monthly Payment of Dividends/Interest on Equity. Income tax at the source does not apply to legal entities that are exempt from this tax. Thus, the total amount paid monthly to the shareholders will have an increase of 10%, after the inclusion of the new shares into its position.

 

VI.      Fractions of Shares: the bonus will always occur in whole numbers. Shares remaining unsubscribed arising from the fractions of shares will be separated, grouped in whole numbers and sold in an auction to be held at BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (BM&FBOVESPA). After the approval needed for the process by the Central Bank of Brazil and, prior to the sale, Bradesco will establish a period of no less than 30 days, during which the shareholders may transfer the fractions of shares, as provided for in Paragraph Three of Article 169 of Law No. 6,404/76. After the sale of the shares, the respective amounts will be made available to the shareholders entitled thereto. Other details will be announced to the shareholders in due course.

 

VII.    Cost of the Shares with Bonus: the cost attributed to the shares with bonus is of R$14.405066098 per share, regardless of the species, for the purposes of Article 10 of Law No. 9,249 of December 26, 1995 (with new wording granted by Law 12,973, of May 13, 2014), and Paragraph One of Article 58 of Instruction No.  1,585, of August 31, 2015, of the Internal Revenue Service.

 


 

VIII.  Additional Procedures - Payment of Fractions of Shares: the amounts resulting from the fractions of shares will be made available to the shareholders as follows:

 

a)        to those shareholders whose shares are deposited in the Company and with their registration and banking data up to date, through a credit to be made in the bank accounts at a Financial Institution appointed by them. Those whose such data is not updated should seek a Bradesco Branch of their choice with their Individual Taxpayer's ID, their Identity Card (RG) and their proof of residence to update their registration data and receive the respective amounts to which they are entitled to; and

 

b)        those whose shares are deposited at BM&FBOVESPA S.A., by means of the Institutions and/or Brokers that maintain their positions in custody.

 

If the proposal is approved, the "caput" of Article 6 of the Bylaws will be amended to reflect the increase of the stock capital, which will become effective with the following wording after the process is approved by the Central Bank of Brazil: "Article 6) The capital stock is 59,100,000,000.00 (fifty-nine billion and one hundred million reais), divided into 6,108,961,905 (six billion, one hundred and eight million, nine hundred and sixty-one thousand, nine hundred and five)book-entry, registered shares, with no par value, of which 3,054,481,112 (three billion, fifty-four million, four hundred and eighty-one thousand, one hundred and twelve) are common shares and 3,054,480,793 (three billion, fifty-four million, four hundred and eighty thousand, seven hundred and ninety-three) are preferred shares."

Proposal for the overall Management compensation and social security amount

 

The Company’s Board of Directors of this Company hereby submits for your examination and resolution proposal for the compensation (fixed and variable), at the overall annual amount of up to R$335,000,000.00, and annual amount of up to R$345,000,000.00, to support the management’s social security, for the year 2017, highlighting that:

 

1)         the proposed values are consistent with the great experience of the Managers and their high degree of knowledge about the Company, given that most of them built their careers in the Organization itself, as well as the need to retain their talents in an increasingly competitive market; and

 

2)        it will be incumbent on the Remuneration Committee to continue assessing the corporate performance, the fulfillment of the objectives and the sustainability of the business, for the purpose of checking whether the results justify the distribution of the overall annual amount of the remuneration funds up to the limit proposed.

 

Pursuant to letter "n" of Article 9 of the Bylaws, the Board of Directors will decide the distribution of the annual overall amount of the remuneration and social security allowance to its own members and to the members of the Board of Executive Officers.

 

The Management clarifies that, for this fiscal year, is proposing to increase, by 36%, of the amount for remuneration (fixed and variable) and to fund the pension plan of the managers, noting that, since 2011, the said amount has not suffered changes. However, the cumulative inflation from March/2011 to December/2016, using as the INPC index, was of 47.6%, i.e. well above the percentage of the increase that is being proposed.

 

For further details, see the Attachment Information on the Remuneration of Managers, pursuant to Item 13 of Attachment 24 of CVM Instruction No. 480 of December 7, 2009

The Board of Directors of this Company hereby submits for your examination and resolution proposal for the monthly compensation, at the amount of R$18,000.00 to each effective member of the Fiscal Council, for the year 2017, clarifying that:

 

a)        the proposed amount meets the provisions of Paragraph Three of Article 162 of Law No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976, which establishes that the compensation for the Fiscal Council’s will be determined by the Shareholders’ Meeting in which they are elected and they cannot be lower, for each member in office, to 10% (ten percent) of the monthly compensation that, on average, is attributed to each Officer as fixed compensation, without the payment, according to current legislation, of benefits, expense account and participation in the Company’s profit sharing, or any other denomination; and

 

b)        the alternate members are remunerated only when they replace the Effective Members, in the cases of vacancy, absence or temporary impediments.

LEGAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS DERIVED FROM THE STATUTORY AMENDMENT

 

The amendment proposed to the “caput” of Article 6 of the Bylaws derives from Bradesco’s capital stock increase by means of capitalization of existing profit reserves and the resulting issuance of shares to be attributed free of charge to shareholders, as bonus stock, in the proportion of 1 new share to each 10 shares of the same type the shareholders hold on the record-date. Bradesco Management predicts that mentioned statutory amendment shall produce:

 

·      legal effects solely by virtue of the assignment of ownership of 1 new share for each 10 shares of the same type previously held by the shareholders, getting preserved the ownership of all shareholders, without distinction; and

·      economic effects arising from the increment of 10% in the total amount of interest on shareholders’ equity and/or dividends paid monthly, benefiting proportionally all shareholders. Will be held the monthly value of interest on shareholders' equity and/or dividends per share, by changing the total amount owing to the greater number of shares issued and received as a bonus by the shareholders.

 

Regarding the other statutory changes, are not expected any legal and/or economic effects as a result of the other amendments to the Bylaws, given that:

 

·      the amendment to item “p” of Article 9 only aims at expressing in the Bylaws the criteria to establish the compensation for the members of the Audit Committee;

 

·      the amendments to Paragraphs Two of Articles 12 and 13, of the "caput" of Article 17 and Section III of Article 27, are intended only to improve their wording, without amending their content;

 

·      the proposed amendment to Article 21 results: 1) from the change of the term of office from one (1) to five (5) years, maximum term of office allowed by the “caput” of Article 12 of the Regulation attached to the previously mentioned Resolution No. 3198, of May 27, 2004, of the National Monetary Council; and 2) formalize the criteria for the appointment and dismissal of the members of the Audit Committee, as well as the criteria to establish their remuneration to be formalized in item “p” of Article 9, remembering that the criteria mentioned are required by Paragraph One of the regulation attached to Resolution No. 3198.

 

·      the minimum period to convene the Shareholders' Meetings of the Company, provided for in Item "a" of Article 24, is being amended from 15 (fifteen) days to thirty (30) days in order to comply with  the provisions of Article 8 of CVM Instruction No. 559, of March 27, 2015, given that the Company is the issuer of shares working as collateral for the ADRs – American Depositary Receipts traded in the American Market (NYSE) and for the GDRs – Global Depositary Receipts traded in the European Market (Latibex), as long as the new term is complied with.

13. Management Compensation

 

13.1 - Description of the policy or compensation practice, including the Board of Executive Officers

 

a)        Objectives of the policy or practice of compensation

 

In 2012, Bradesco amended its compensation policy for managers in order to reflect the objectives established by Resolution No. 3,921, of the National Monetary Council (CMN), which caused, from that year on, the payment of part of the amount approved in the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting as variable compensation.

 

Its policy aims at:

 

·      ensuring that the compensation practice is in accordance with the law, rules and regulations that govern the matter, based on the Manager’s duties, which result from the positions they hold and functions they perform; time dedicated to their functions; in competence and professional reputation, in view of their experience and qualification; and in the value of their services in the market;

 

·      providing alignment between compensation practices for the Management and the Organization’s interests, so that the decisions made are the best as possible, seeking to create value for its shareholders and investors; and

 

·      ensuring that the compensation practice is related to objectives that seek the valuation of the Organization, not encouraging behaviors that increase the risk exposure above levels considered prudent for the strategies adopted for the short, medium and long terms.

 

b)        Composition of compensation, indicating:

 

                                            i.         Description of the compensation elements and objectives of each one of them

 

a)      Board of Directors and Board of Executive Officers

 

The compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Executive Officers consists of Fixed Compensation, represented by Monthly Compensations fixed for the duration of their term, and Variable Compensation, based on target criteria and performance indicators, attributed according to the criteria of multiple Monthly Compensation, up to the limit authorized by the Shareholders' Meeting.

 

In addition, annually, a proposal is submitted to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting to fund the Pension Plan for Managers, the amounts of which are shown in item 13.2, as post-employment benefits.

 

Pursuant to CVM Circular Letter CVM/SEP/No 02/2016, we are indicating in item 13.2, in the years 2016, 2015 and 2014, the amounts corresponding to social security contributions (INSS) paid by Bradesco and recognized in its results.

 

 

 

 


 

 

a)        Fiscal Council

 

The compensation of the Effective Members of the Fiscal Council is fixed by the Shareholders’ Meeting in which they are elected and they cannot be lower, for each member in office, to 10% (ten percent) of the monthly compensation that, on average, is attributed to each Officer, as fixed compensation, without, under current legislation, the payment of benefits, expense account and participation in the Company’s profit sharing, or any other denomination.

 

b)        Audit Committee

 

The compensation of the Members of the Audit Committee is represented by fixed monthly payments for the term of his mandate, with the exception of a member which only receives remuneration as a member of the Board of Directors, and aims at rewarding the contribution of each member for acting on advising the Board of Directors in the performance of its attributions related to the follow up of the accounting practices adopted in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and of its subsidiaries, as well as in the process of appointing and evaluating the effectiveness of the independent audit.

 

Another important factor in the definition of the compensation is that the Committee’s members must have high technical qualification so as to exercise their position and at least one of them must have proven knowledge in the areas of accounting and auditing of financial institutions which qualify him to exercise his function, proving the high degree of expertise required from them, including by the regulatory bodies.

 

c)         Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee, defined in the Bylaws, is composed by members chosen among the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and also, as required by the Resolution No. 3,921/10, of the National Monetary Council, by 1 (one) non-administrator member. The members of the Board of Directors and the non-administrator member, when an employee of the Bradesco Organization, are not compensated due to the position of member of the Remuneration Committee. While being a non-employee, when nominated, the member has his/her compensation set by the Board of Directors, according to the market parameters. No manager of the Bradesco Organization is remunerated for the functions that he/she exercises in the Bradesco Organization committees.

 

d)        Other Committees

 

The members of the other committees are remunerated only for the duties they perform in the management bodies or executive areas in which they act at Bradesco Organization. No Manager of Bradesco Organization is remunerated for duties that they perform in the referred committees.

 

 

 

 


 

 

                                          ii.         the proportion of each component in the total compensation 

 

The Managers' compensation is comprised of Fixed Compensation, represented by Monthly Compensations established according to the duration of their term, and Variable Remuneration awarded according to the criteria of multiple Monthly Compensations, based on target criteria and performance indicators, up to the limit authorized by the Shareholders' Meeting.

 

We highlight that the proportion/percentage of each element in the total compensation is not established, and it can be changed annually.

                                        iii.         methodology for calculating and adjusting each component of the compensation

 

Board of Directors and Board of Executive Officers

 

·           Fixed Compensation or Monthly Compensation: monthly fixed compensations established for the period of the Administrator’s term.

 

·           Variable Compensation: amount attributed to the Managers, as performance compensation, in addition to the Fixed Compensation, based on the target criteria and performance indicator. It is important to highlight that the total Variable Compensation will be paid on a date defined by the Board of Directors, and 50% of the net value of the Variable Compensation will be allocated for the purchase of preferred shares issued by Banco Bradesco S.A., which are filed and unavailable ("Restricted Shares"). The Restricted Shares become available in 3 (three) equal, annual and successive installments. The first installment will expire one year after the date of the acquisition of shares.

 

·              Overall amount: includes the total compensation (fixed compensations and variable compensation).

 

 


 

 

 

To determine the overall amount for compensation, the Bradesco Organization observes the following criteria:

 

1.     Bradesco Organization’s Remuneration Committees: proposes to the Board of Directors the Overall Amount for compensation (Monthly Compensation and Variable Compensation). The payment of Variable Compensation will observe the target criteria and performance indicators to be established and will be limited to Overall Amount, to be distributed to the Managers).

 

To define the Overall Amount for compensation (Monthly Compensations and Variable Compensation), the Remuneration Committee shall observe the following aspects:

·                    size and result of the company comparing to its competitors;

·                    domestic and international economic conditions, taking into consideration the past, present and future scenarios;

·                    internal and external factors that may affect the Organization’s businesses (current and potential risks); and

·                    Organization’s Overall performance, involving the recurrent income realized and the capacity to produce cash flows.

The Remuneration Committee will use other indicators when deem necessary and suitable. In addition, it will use studies, evaluations, surveys and other materials prepared by the technical areas, such as DEPEC - Department of Research and Economic Studies, DPOC - Department of Planning, Budget and Control, General Accounting and DCIR - Department of Integrated Risk Control, besides other areas it deems appropriate.

 

2.         Board of Directors: the most important management Body of the Organization, it must evaluate the Remuneration Committee proposals and resolve on them.

 

3.        Shareholder’s Meeting: it is incumbent on the Shareholders Meeting to approve the Overall Amount for the compensation of the Company.

 

After fulfilled all steps to determine and approve the Overall Amount for compensation, it is incumbent on the Board of Directors of Bradesco to establish the compensation of each one of the Managers, comprised by Monthly Compensation and, based on the fulfillment of the target criteria and indicators, Variable Compensation.

 

Audit Committee

 

The process to calculate and readjust the Audit Committee’s compensation starts in the Remuneration Committee.

The Board of Directors, on its turn, evaluates the recommendations and proposals of this Committee and defines the amount of compensation for each Committee’s member.

 

 


 

 

 

 

                                        iv.         reasons that justify the composition of compensation

 

The Bradesco Organization adopts the system of "Closed Career", hiring new employees, preferably to the initial positions, developing and preparing these employees to hold higher positions, when available. So the executive positions are filled in its majority by professionals trained at the Organization itself and, therefore, reveal a consolidated personal career, focused on the Organization’s goals, in medium and long terms.

 

At the same time the system of "Closed Career", and as a way to allow the utilization of its best professionals, Bradesco Organization promotes a constant and rotational movement, shifting employees/Managers, especially those leading areas. Bradesco Organization provides to the Manager, through the "Rotation of Duties", greater integration, experience, personal challenges and consolidation of career, being continuously monitored and evaluated for possible movements in the hierarchy.

 

Within this context, the Organization aims to ensure that the compensation practice complies with the law, rules and regulations that govern the matter, based on (i) the Managers responsibilities, taking into consideration the different positions they hold and the functions they perform; (ii) the time dedicated to their duties; (iii) the competence and professional reputation, considering their experience and qualification; and (iv) the value of its services in the market.

 

                                          v.         existence of non-remunerated members by the issuer and the reason for this fact

 

Not applicable.

 

c)         main performance indicators that are taken into consideration in determining each component of compensation

Corporate Assessment Process

 

The uniformity in the treatment of work areas is one of the keys for the Organization’s effectiveness, as a manner to inhibit the individualism, maintaining a good work environment favorable for teamwork.

 

The Organization maintains a collegiate management culture, in which all relevant decisions, business or administrative ones, are made by committees composed, primarily, by Managers.

 

Thus, even with the establishment of goals and objectives for all areas, individually, for purposes of compensation prevails the Overall performance of the Organization, making no segregation of area, if it is considered as area of business or support, technical or relationship.

 

 

 


 

 

This overall performance, denominated in the Corporate Rule as Corporate Assessment Process takes into consideration the outcome of performance indicators, as follows:

 

-    ROAE – Return on Equity – Adjusted;

-    Overall Customer Satisfaction Index;

-    Basel Index – Level 1;

-    Operating Efficiency Ratio (ER);

-    Dow Jones Sustainability Index Performance;

Individual assessment process

 

The individual performance of Managers, as well as the performance of their respective areas, is accompanied by their respective superiors, according to consolidated half-early. The formal assessment process, in compliance with the requirements of National Monetary Council, Instruction No. 3,921.

 

For the formal assessment process, specific indicators are defined for areas and for individual assessment, according to the Managers’ functions, taking into account the areas for business, controls, and other supporting areas.

 

For the assessment of areas, at least the following groups of indicators are considered:

 

a.             main activity actions: are indicators that suggest the goals and objectives of the main activities of the area;

 

b.             actions focused on operational efficiency: are indicators that measure the operating efficiency, in order to maximize their results with minimum use of resources;

 

c.             actions directed to risks management: are corporate indicators that measure exposure to risk and the internal controls, properly monitored by the responsible Area (Integrated Risk Control Department - DCIR);

 

d.            actions directed to customer service: are indicators that assess the results/levels of satisfaction of internal and/or external customers; e

 

e.            actions directed to environmental aspects: are indicators that assess the degree of compliance of the objectives of the area to environmental aspects.

 

For individual assessment, at least the following indicators are considered:

 

a.        quality of the products/services: aims to evaluate the quality standards of products/services offered/rendered according to the area of the Manager assessed;

 

b.        commitment to strategy: aims to evaluate if its performance reflected positively with material contributions to the Strategic Planning in the period;

 

c.         participation in collegiate decisions: aims to evaluate the active participation in meetings and committees, with opinions that contributed to the submitted decisions;

 

 


 

 

d.        leadership team: evaluates the team management process;

 

e.        planning: assesses the ability to plan the activities of their area in the medium and long term;

 

f.          overview: evaluates, mainly, the Managers' vision about future trends to meet the demands of the market; and

 

g.        applies to the Board of Directors and its respective members, if suitable, the indicators listed above.

The performance assessment of Managers in the areas of internal control and risks management must be based on the achievement of the objectives of their own functions and not specifically in the overall performance of the Organization. The Integrated Risk Control Department-DCIR and the General Inspectorate Department-IGL are considered areas of internal control and risk management in the context of the Bradesco Organization, as well as the related areas of other companies of the Bradesco Organization.

 

d)        how compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators

 

It is up to the Board of Directors, after completion of all stages of definition and approval of the Overall Amount, to set the value of the compensation for each one of the Managers, in compliance with the following rules:

 

i.          uniformity of compensation among members of the same hierarchy (office), or differentiation as a result of the time in that position, experience, academic background or other difference that the Board of Directors deems appropriate;

 

ii.        part of the Overall Amount approved will be distributed in fixed equal monthly installments during the term of office of the Manager, subject to the provisions above, called Monthly Compensation; and

 

iii.      the remaining part of the Overall Amount may be distributed as Variable Compensation, upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee, which shall comply with established target criteria and performance indicators.

 

Based on the assessment and proposal of the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors shall define, the amount of the Variable Compensation that will be paid to Managers, which will correspond to equal multiples of the Monthly Compensation that each Manager is receiving at the date of the resolution for the payment of Variable Compensation.

 

e)        how the compensation policy or practice is in line with the issuer’s short, medium and long term interests

 

In addition to the current legislation, in Bradesco Organization, to establish the Managers’ Compensation, it is taken into consideration the organizational culture, having as main practices the "Rotation of Duties" in management positions, the adoption of the "Intern Career" system for the ascension in functional and managing positions and the decision making, primarily by collegiate bodies.

 

 


 

 

 

It is a practice of Bradesco Organization to develop, continuously, its human resources, understanding that the personal and professional growth is the main motivation for its employees and managers. The "Intern Career" system is the way to allow the use of its best professionals. The staff, in all levels, including the leadership, has absolute confidence in the possibility offered, to any employee, to ascend the Organization on its own merits, being possible for a bookkeeper to reach the position of Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

Due to this practice, consistently adopted over decades, is that the leadership positions, including the ones in the Board of Directors, are in their majority held by people who began their career at Bradesco Organization.

 

Besides this whole process of commitment of Managers, 50% of the net value of the Variable Compensation is for the acquisition of preferred shares issued by Banco Bradesco S.A., which are recorded and unavailable ("Restricted Shares").

 

Restricted Shares become available in 3 (three) equal, annual and successive installments, expiring the first installment 1 (one) year after the date of acquisition of shares, subject to any adjustments in the event of a significant reduction of Recurring Profit Made or occurrence of negative result of the Company during the Deferral Period.

 

For the establishment of the deferral related to the 50% previously described, in order to meet the provisions of Article 7 of the CMN (National Monetary Council) Resolution No. 3,921/10, the Organization takes into account the rotation of duties of the mentioned Managers, as well as the collegiate decision-making process through its various committees, with the consequent dilution of possible risks arising from its decisions. Thus, it was established a single percentage of 50% of the net amount of Variable Remuneration, therefore over the 40% established in the Resolution, so as to balance the percentage of the deferred Variable Compensation at levels acceptable to all Managers.

 

f)          existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, controlled or direct or indirect parent companies

 

Not applicable.

 

g)        existence of any compensation or benefit related to the occurrence of certain corporate event, such as the sale of the corporate control of the issuer

 

Not applicable.

13.11 - highest, lowest and the average individual compensation for the Board of Directors, Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Fiscal Council

 

Reason for not filling the table:

 

The Company’s management and supervisory bodies are comprised with professionals affiliated to the Brazilian Institute of Financial Executives (“IBEF”) of Rio de Janeiro. On March 2, 2010, the IBEF obtained from the 5th Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro Judicial District (lawsuit 20105101002888-5) an injunction worded as follows:

 

“Now, therefore, I GRANT the pleaded injunction, determining the suspension of the validity of sub-item 13.11 of attachment 24 of CVM Instruction No.480, in relation to IBEF associates and, consequently, to the companies to which they are linked, prohibiting the application of any sanction in the affiliates or in the companies to which they are linked until the subsequent decision of this Court.”

 

On May 17, 2013 a judgment on the merits of the referred lawsuit was handed down, through which the aforementioned injunction was ratified and the request made by IBEF was upheld, having been given to the defendant - CVM -, that: “…abstain from implementing the requirement contained in subsection 13.11 of Attachment 24 of CVM Instruction No. 480, as well as apply any penalty related to the noncompliance to the referred request, to IBEF associates and to the companies with which they are associated…”.

 

CVM filed an appeal, which was received only in devolutive effect, and the case was sent to the Federal Regional Court of the 2nd Region, according to order made in first instance on December 19, 2013.

 

The reason for not disclosing the minimum, medium and maximum compensation of the members of the companies’ management and supervisory bodies is based on the preservation of individual rights to privacy and safety of the individual members of mentioned statutory bodies.

 

In respect to these individual rights and judicial decision referred to above, the Company will not disclose the information, unless judicial determination otherwise.

 

 

13.12 - Compensation or indemnity mechanisms for managers in case of removal from office or retirement

 

Banco Bradesco does not pay this type of compensation to the Board of Directors, Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Fiscal Council.

Management’s Comments on the Company

 

10.1 - General financial and equity conditions

 

Directors should comment:

 

a)   general financial and equity conditions

 

The Directors understand that Bradesco has all financial and asset conditions to ensure the compliance with obligations, guaranteeing the business expansion in the short- and long-terms.

 

The Directors’ analysis is based on information from the last three adjusted financial statements on the balance sheet date, as follows:

 

2016

 

2016 was a year of great events. The conclusion of the acquisition of HSBC Bank Brasil S. A. – Banco Múltiplo (HSBC Brasil), the largest in our history, has allowed us to broaden our base of account holders and expand activities in strategic markets such as the Southeast, Midwest, and South. In a short period of time, we have integrated the platforms, the involvement of the workforce, and replaced the entire brand in total harmony with the outlined objectives.

 

Sponsoring the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro was another demonstration of confidence in the Country’s ability to perform. The Games gave the Bradesco brand global exposure and made the Organization’s commitment to constructive attitudes that motivate and move the people visible, a nation’s greatest asset.

 

Faced with the challenges imposed by the current economic scenario, we reacted with increasing investments and persistent business incentives. The strategic and budgetary planning has been completed successfully; we have improved processes aiming at greater efficiency, and have innovated on all fronts, supported by a Service Network present throughout the country. Our employees are committed and determined to always work harder and better, in line with current demands.

 

Committed to the Goals of Sustainable Development, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of Fundação Bradesco, the Organization’s principal social action. With 40 schools, located primarily in disadvantaged regions, aimed at teaching children and teenagers, the Foundation has become a reference of education in the Country, and shines a light on the paths of social inclusion, providing public welfare.

 

Brazil has the credentials to move forward and resume growth. Confident that, in 2017, we will write another chapter of achievements in our history, we reaffirm the willingness to overcome obstacles with constructive attitudes and investments, providing the best products and services to our clients, shareholders, and investors.

 

We wish to thank everyone for their support, preference, and above all, the confidence placed in Bradesco. We also thank our employees and other staff for their effort, dedication, and full commitment, which was decisive in overcoming obstacles and obtaining results.

Among the relevant events of the financial year of 2016 are the following:

 

 


 

 

·         the conclusion, in July, of the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. – Banco Múltiplo and HSBC Serviços e Participações Ltda. (HSBC Brasil), with the due approval of the relevant activities. The approval, in the General Meeting, of the division of HSBC Brasil, enabled the integration of people and operating and technological platforms, resulting in the replacement of the brand in its service network and providing greater synergy in its operations. Thus, since October 8, HSBC Brasil clients have gained access to their accounts and other services as Bradesco clients. This is the largest acquisition ever made by the Bank, cementing its position in the domestic financial scene;

 

·         once again chosen to be a part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index – DJSI of the New York Stock Exchange, in the Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets category. There was an increase in overall performance with emphasis on the issues of “Crime Prevention Policies and Measures”, “Financial Stability”, and “Systemic Risk and Financial Inclusion”;

 

·         for the twelfth year in a row, it was recognized among the companies listed in the Corporate Sustainability Index – ISE of BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange. The portfolio is reviewed annually, though analysis of economic-financial, social, environmental, and corporate governance aspects. Integrating the index reaffirms Bradesco’s commitment to the adoption of good business practices; and

 

·         the achievement, once again, of winning the ABRASCA Award – Best Annual Report, in the “Public Company Group 1” category, awarded by the Brazilian Association of Public Companies – ABRASCA, which recognizes a company’s commitment to transparency in its relationship with shareholders, clients, and stakeholders.

 

In addition to the highlights above, the Rio 2016 Olympic Games consolidated a cycle of building a legacy based on the transforming power of sports. Bradesco believed since the beginning and became the first official sponsor of the Olympic Games, in the Bank and Insurance categories. Reinforcing this commitment, the bank was also sponsor of the Olympic Torch and Paralympic Torch Relay, which took the emotion and Olympic spirit to several corners of Brazil, spreading the global spirit of the event. The results were perceived on many fronts, always leveraging the brand, the generation of business and the engagement of employees. Studies have demonstrated the growth of the attractiveness index of Bradesco, besides being one of the most remembered brands among all the sponsors.

 

The taxable Net Income was R$15.084 billion in the financial year of 2016, equivalent to R$2.73 per share and annualized profitability of 15.5% over the average Shareholders’ Equity. The annualized return on Average Total Assets was 1.4%. Shareholders’ Equity amounted to R$100.442 billion and total of the adjusted assets stood at R$1.294 trillion.

 

Loan Operations

 

Bradesco, attentive to the challenging scene of the credit market, constantly monitors its loan portfolios in order to keep its policy up to date and in line with the current economic situation, preserving the expansion and diversification of the supply in various channels of distribution, which cover the Network of Branches, Banking Correspondents, and Digital Channels. These differentials have contributed to the achievement of loans and direct financing or in strategic partnerships with the various business chains.

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Fundraising and Resource Management

 

The resources funded and managed, in the end of 2016, amounted to R$1.905 trillion, tier 26.1% higher than the previous year. Overall, the Bank manages 26,802 million account holders, 62,107 million savings accounts with a balance of R$97.089 billion, representing 18.7% of the SBPE – Brazilian Savings and Loan System.

·         R$583.284 billion in Demand Deposits, Time Deposits, Interbank Deposits, Savings Accounts and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase;

 

·         R$756.488 billion in assets under management, comprising Investment Funds, Managed Portfolios and Third-Party Fund Quotas, a 37.5% increase;

 

·         R$299.312 billion in the Exchange Portfolio, Borrowings and On-lendings in Brazil, Working Capital, Tax Payments and Collection and Related Charges, Funds From Issuance of Securities in Brazil, and Subordinated Debt in Brazil;

 

·         R$223.342 billion in Technical Reserves for Insurance, Pension Plans and Capitalization Bonds, up by 25.6%; and

 

·         R$42.486 billion in Foreign Funding, through public and private issues, Subordinated Debt Overseas, Securitization of Future Financial Flows and Borrowings and On-lendings Overseas, equivalent to US$13.036 billion.

 

At the close of the financial year of 2016, the market value of Bradesco, considering the closing prices of the common and preferred shares, totaled R$160.813 billion, representing 1.6 times the Shareholders’ Equity on December 31, 2016.

2015

2015 was a year of achievements and advances for Bradesco, which become all the more valuable taking into account the environment of uncertainties during the period, in a context of decelerated economy, decreasing GDP and persistent inflation. We have been successful and we are convinced that the financial activity is fundamental for the country to return to the path of growth.

 

Bradesco, since it was founded 72 years ago, has held an ongoing relationship with society, driven by the vocation of the pioneering spirit and determination to be contemporary at all times. From any angle assessed, the democratization of banking products and services has been a constant. The culture of quality, intersection point of all initiatives, contributed to the evolution of the technological structure, associated to the technical and professional improvement of the staff, pillars that distinguish us in the financial market.

 

Among the events of major relevance in 2015, we highlight the signature for the Purchase Contract of Shares with HSBC Latin America Holdings (UK) Limited for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of HSBC in Brazil. The operation, which is subject to the approval of the competent regulatory agencies, reaffirms the objectives of Bradesco to strengthen its presence and activity in the market.

 

 


 

 

 

In the context of corporate sustainability, the Bradesco Organization maintains its commitment in the constant search of integrating its principles to its strategic planning. In the social area, Fundação Bradesco deserves special attention, one of the largest private social and educational programs in Brazil, with 40 schools installed in priority regions of accentuated socioeconomic deprivation, promoting free basic and quality education, strengthening ethical values and civic-mindedness.

 

With renewed optimism in facing future challenges, Bradesco reiterates its positive vision in relation to Brazil. The planning of the Organization has solid foundations, proven in the scale already achieved, its great diversification in terms of products and services, robust financial and equity situation, one of the largest networks of customer service in Brazil, compatible presence abroad, use of the best corporate governance practices and qualified internal structure, in terms of experience and operational efficiency, to respond to the demands of sustained growth.

 

With the feeling of overcoming adversity and recognition, we wish to thank our clients and shareholders, for their trust, support and preference; to the Directors, employees and other collaborators, for their effort, dedication and commitment to the Organization's strategies, determinants for the results obtained.

Among the important events of 2015 are the following:

 

·      on July 6, the signature of the partnership with FCA Fiat Chrysler Automóveis Brasil and Banco Fidis, through Bradesco Financiamentos, for a period of ten years, to finance the sales of vehicles of the brands Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram in Brazil;

 

·      On August 3, the disclosure of the signature of the Purchase Contract of Shares with HSBC Latin America Holdings (UK) Limited for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. – Banco Múltiplo and HSBC Serviços e Participações Ltda., with the consequent takeover of all operations of HSBC in Brazil, whose decision was ratified at the Extraordinary General Meeting on December 17, 2015. Subject to the approval of the competent regulatory bodies, the operation reaffirms the goals of Bradesco to strengthen its presence and activity in the market, thus increasing gains in efficiency and scale; 

 

·      on August 6, the launch of the Espaço Bradesco Next Móvel at Shopping Iguatemi, in São Paulo; later, on October 8 and 30, in Morumbi Shopping and Shopping Park São Caetano, respectively. The objective of this new configuration, itinerant in form will mark our presence in different localities, taking to the public the experience of the latest technologies and innovations, as well as expanding the conquest of new business;

 

·      on August 31, the inauguration of the new premises of Grupo Bradesco Seguros in Alphaville – São Paulo, with a modern and sustainable architectural structure, where it will centralize the operations of all its segments. The integration extends further the synergy between the areas, generating gains in productivity and quality, in addition to improving assistance to the Branches and to clients;

 

·      on September 14, for the tenth consecutive year, Bradesco was selected to integrate the Dow Jones Sustainability Index – DJSI, of the New York Stock Exchange, in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets portfolios. The DJSI is composed of actions of a select list of companies in the world, with best practices for sustainable development; and

 

 


 

 

 

·      since September, Bradesco Clients can withdraw cash and check their balance without the use of the card, in the whole Rede Banco24Horas network, besides the Bradesco network, using biometric authentication with the palm of the hand.

 

In addition to the highlights above, in January 2016, Bradesco signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Banco do Brasil S.A., Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A., Caixa Econômica Federal and Itaú Unibanco S.A., in order to create a holding company of credit intelligence ("GIC"), which will develop a database with the goal of adding, reconciling and handling database and credit-related information, of individuals and legal entities, which expressly authorize their inclusion in the database, as required by the applicable rules.

 

Book Net Income was R$17.190 billion for the year, corresponding to R$3.42 per share and annualized return of 19.7% on average Shareholders’ Equity. The return on Average Total Assets was 1.7%. Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity amounted to R$88.907 billion and total of the adjusted assets stood at R$1.080 trillion.

 

Loan operations

 

The challenging scenario for the credit market makes the Bank maintain its policy always updated and commensurate with the current moment of economy, preserving the expansion and diversification of the offer, which covers the Branch Network, Banking Correspondents and Digital Channels. These differentials have contributed to the implementation of borrowings or in direct lending or in strategic partnerships with the various chains of business.

 

·         R$474.027 billion was the balance, at year-end, of the consolidated credit operations, in the expanded concept, including sureties and guarantees, letters of credit, advances of credit card receivables, debentures, promissory notes, co-obligation in receivables-backed investment funds, mortgage-backed receivables and rural loans, for a 4.2% increase for the period.

 

·         R$29.499 billion was the consolidated balance of the provision for doubtful accounts, considering an additional provision of R$6.410 billion, which includes provision for guarantees provided, in the amount required by Resolution No. 2,682/99 issued by the National Monetary Council.

 

Funding and Asset Management

 

At year-end, the funds obtained and managed totaled R$1.510 trillion, 5.9% higher than the previous year. In all, the Bank manages 26.027 million checking account customers, 60.086 million savings accounts with balances of R$91.879 billion, accounting for 18.0% of the SBPE – Brazilian Savings and Loan System. 

 

·         R$475.486 billion in demand deposits, time deposits, interbank deposits, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and savings deposits;

 

·         R$550.284 billion in managed funds, comprising Investment funds, managed portfolios and third-party fund units, a 12.6% increase;

 

 

 


 

 

·         R$248.210 billion, recorded in Foreign exchange portfolio, Borrowings and onlending, working capital, collection and payment of taxes and others, funds from issuance of securities and subordinated debt – domestic;

 

·         R$177.834 billion in technical provisions for insurance, private pension plan funds and capitalization bonds, a 16.0% increase; and

 

·         R$58.582 billion in foreign funding, through public and private issues, subordinated debt abroad, securitization of future financial flows and borrowings and onlendings abroad, equivalent to US$11.234 billion. Of this amount, we highlight the capture in the total value of US$375 million with the International Finance Corp (IFC), of which US$150 million come from the IFC itself and US$225 million from a group of Banks, whereby the resources are destined for loans to small and medium sized enterprises.

 

At the end of the 2015 financial year, Bradesco’s market value, taking into account the closing quotations of common and preferred shares, was R$100.044 billion, representing 1.1 times the Shareholders’ Equity on December 31, 2015.

 

2014

 

In 2014, Brazil experienced yet another moment in its well-established democracy, promoting elections that generated great interest from the general public – who were involved by the strength of the campaigns and a fierce contest at the polls. Now, economic officials face the task of revisiting projections and strategies, setting the groundwork for changes that can lead the country towards a leap in development.

 

The Bradesco Organization believes there are reasons to feel optimistic about the future of Brazil. In this context, we hope that domestic economic policy and external factors, such as the recovery of the US economy and the recovery efforts of the economies pegged to the Euro, can create growth opportunities in the country.

 

At Bradesco, among the most significant events of this past year, we should emphasize our permanence in the select group of companies in the BM&FBovespa’s ISE (Corporate Sustainability Index), and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, of the New York Stock Exchange, which it comprises for the ninth consecutive year; the launch of the payment solutions company Stelo S.A., as well as that of LIVELO S.A., which will take care of business related to a coalition loyalty program – both in conjunction with Banco do Brasil. Also worth mentioning were the opening of the second Fluvial Service Station on the Solimões River, serving 11 riverside towns along a 1,600-km extension of the river, and the establishment of the first branch in Vila Kennedy, a community in the west side of Rio de Janeiro, aimed at the financial inclusion of approximately 130 thousand residents.

As it celebrates 71 years of existence, Bradesco boasts a strong balance sheet position that confirms the success of the strategies applied, which in turn are consistent with the choice of retail banking as our flagship product line for the goals democratization of credit and banking inclusion.  Our market performance is the result of the instrumentality of an extensive and well-distributed Service Network and of our digital channels. This wide range of options is made possible by a constant and robust investment in infrastructure and especially in technology, which positions Bradesco at the forefront of banking technology.

The Bradesco Organization maintains its commitment to corporate sustainability, seeking to integrate its basic principles to its global strategic planning. Among its social initiatives, we should highlight the work

 


 

 

developed by the Fundação Bradesco, which offers free and high-quality education. The foundation focuses its work on regions that face greater educational and healthcare shortages in the country, with a network of 40 schools that constitute one of the largest socio-educational programs promoted by the private sector on a global scale.

The strength of the Bradesco brand will remain a powerful ally in the continuous effort of earning and maintaining market positions, and it is boosted by the competent and loyal dedication of its Directors and employees, to whom we express our gratitude. We also wish to thank our customers and shareholders for the trust which has allowed us to stand apart from the competition.

The following are some of the most noteworthy events involving the Bradesco Organization over the past year:

·         on April 17 Bradesco and Banco do Brasil launched Stelo S.A., a payment solutions company that manages, operates and explores the payment facilitator segment for e-commerce and digital portfolio business; on May 14, they formed LIVELO S.A., whose purpose will be to explore businesses related to coalition loyalty program, allowing the client to accumulate and redeem points in various partners;

 

·         on May 27 the second Fluvial Service Station was inaugurated aboard the ship Voyager V, in the Solimões River in the Amazon. The new ship serves approximately 50 communities and 11 cities, covering a stretch of around 1,600 kilometers between Manaus and Tabatinga and bringing banking services that make life easier at these riverside communities;

 

·         on July 7, Bradesco was issued the Quality Certificate issued by IIA – Institute of Internal Auditors, an entity present in more than 130 countries, empowered to assess and grant the Quality Certificate to internal audits.

·         on September 15, it earned the RA1000 Reclame AQUI, as the first bank to be awarded the RA1000, the maximum seal of quality for handling complaints made to the website Reclame AQUI.

 

Book Net Income was R$15.089 billion for the year, corresponding to R$3.60 per share and annualized return of 19.8% on average Shareholders’ Equity. The return on Average Total Assets was 1.6%. Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity amounted to R$81.508 billion and total of the adjusted assets stood at R$1.032 trillion.

 

Loan operations

 

The democratization of credit can be achieved by expanding and diversifying the credit available, and by more attractive interest rates. These key factors have increased the volume of financing operations conducted directly or in partnerships with market players, as well as in other lines aimed at individuals, such as payroll-deductible loans, through an extensive network of Branches, PAs (Service Branches) and Sales Promoters.

 

 

 

Funding and Asset Management

 

At year-end, the funds obtained and managed totaled R$1.426 trillion, 13.2% higher than the previous year. In all, the Bank manages 26.482 million checking account customers, 59.091 million savings accounts with balances of R$92.155 billion, accounting for 17.6% of the SBPE – Brazilian Savings and Loan System. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

At the end of the 2014 financial year, Bradesco’s market value, taking into account the closing quotations of common and preferred shares, was R$145.536 billion, representing 1.8 times the Shareholders’ Equity on December 31, 2014, and up 13.6% compared to December 31, 2013.

 

The following are comments about our key indicators:

 

I)     Capital Adequacy Ratio

 

Brazilian financial institutions are subject to methodology for capital metrics and levels based on a risk-weighted asset index. The parameters of this methodology resemble the international framework for minimum capital measurements adopted for the Basel Accord. Starting in October 2013, the implementation of a new capital structure began in Brazil. The Brazilian Central Bank (Bacen), through CMN Resolution No. 4,192/13, set out the new methodology for calculating the Referential Equity (PR – Patrimônio de Referência), superseding CMN Resolution No. 3,444/07. Since then, the Reference Equity started being calculated based on CMN Resolution No. 4,192/13, which determined that the elaboration be made based on the "Prudential Consolidation", as per January 2015.

 

The difference in comparison between the current form of calculation of the Prudential Consolidation, and the previous Financial Consolidation, is, essentially, a reflection of the consolidation of similar companies to the financial institutions (Bradesco Consórcios, Cielo, among others) and investment funds, which became the scope, according to the regulation in force. It is important to highlight that the difference is also related to the amendment of the application of the factor of prudential adjustments, as defined in CMN Resolution No. 4,192/13, which went from 20% in December 2014 to 40% from January 2015, and to 60% from January 2016.

 

The calculation of our Basel Index is shown below:

 

 

 

In December 2016, the Regulatory Capital of the Prudential Conglomerate stood at R$101,127 million, against risk-weighted assets totaling R$656,189 million. The Basel Ratio reached 15.4%, the Tier I Capital ratio, 12.0%, a decrease of 0.7 p.p. compared to December 2015, mainly impacted by: (i) the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil, which influenced: (a) the risk-weighted assets; (b) goodwill/ intangible assets; and (c) the other prudential adjustments, which were also impacted by the change in the implementation of the adjustment factor, as defined in the CMN Resolution No. 4,192/13, which went from 40% in January 2015, to 60% from January 2016; partly offset by: (ii) the issuance of Subordinated Bonds, authorized by the Central Bank in November 2016, to compose Tier I/ Complementary Capital, in the amount of R$5.0 billion.

 

 


 

 

 

In December 2015, the Reference Equity of the Prudential Consolidation reached the amount of R$102,825 million, compared to assets weighted by the risk of R$612,217 million.

 

It is worth mentioning that, in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Brazilian Central Bank authorized the Subordinated Letters of Credit to compose Tier II. The restated amount on December 31, 2015 reached R$5,805 million.

 

In the light of the implementation of the new capital requirements, the indexes of 2015 cannot be compared with the indexes of 2014.

 

In December 2014, Capital stood at R$98,605 million, against risk-weighted assets totaling R$597,213 million. The Total Basel Index recorded a slight drop of 0.1 p.p. when compared to the previous year, going from 16.6% in December 2013 to 16.5% in December 2014, which is basically a result of: (i) 20% applied over prudential adjustments, as per CMN Resolution No. 4,192/13; (ii) increase in risk-weighted assets, caused by the expansion of the loan portfolio; and partially offset by (iii) increase in Shareholders’ equity, due to the growth in income recorded in the year.

 

It is worth mentioning that in December 2014, only R$21,406 million of the total subordinated debt were used in the calculation of the Basel Index, given the respective maturity.

 

II)   Operating Efficiency Ratio (ER) and Operating Coverage Ratio

 

 

 


 

 

Operating Efficiency Ratio (ER)

 

A 2016 to 2015 comparison shows an improvement of 2.0 p.p. in the ratio, mainly due to: (i) the effect of impairment of financial assets in the fourth quarter of 2016, in the amount of R$1,264 million (if we disregard this effect, the indicator would be 38.9%); (ii) the increase in operating expenses during the period, impacted by the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil as of the third quarter of 2016; offset by: (iii) the growth of (a) the fee and commission income, prompted by the increase in the volume of business and services provided; and (b) the net interest income.

 

A 2015 to 2014 comparison shows an improvement of 1.7 p.p. in the ratio, reaching 37.5% in 2015, which represented the highest historic level of this indicator. This improvement is basically the reflex: (i) of the growth of the financial margin and of revenues from the provision of services; and (ii) of the behavior of the operating expenses, which evolved below the inflation in the year.

 

Operating Coverage

 

In 2016, the operating coverage ratio reached 76.2%, a decrease of 3.8 p.p. compared to the previous year, mainly impacted by the increase in operating expenses due to the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil as of the third quarter of 2016. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the maintenance of this high-level indicator is mainly caused by ongoing cost control efforts, including (a) the Efficiency Committee’s initiatives; (b) investments in Information Technology, which totaled R$6.595 billion in 2016; and (c) measures applied to increase the offer of products and services available to the entire client base.

 

In the comparison between 2015 and 2014, the index of operational coverage showed improvement, mainly due to the increase in revenue from services provided, coupled with ongoing efforts to control expenses, including actions by the Efficiency Committee and measures applied to increase the offer of products and services to the entire customer base.

 

III) Main loan portfolio indicators

 

Delinquency Ratio > 90 days(1)

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

In 2016, the delinquency ratio over 90 days amounted to 5.5% of the credit portfolio, representing an increase of 1.4 p.p. in comparison to 2015, mainly due to the low demand for credit, as well as the intensified deceleration of economic activities, which has impacted the capacity of payments, mainly of companies.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2016, R$2.0 billion loan assignments (previously written-off) were carried out without the retention of risks and benefits, which did not alter the rates of delinquency in the period, nor had a relevant impact on the results.

 

In 2015, the delinquency ratio over 90 days amounted to 4.1% of the credit portfolio, representing an increase of 0.6 p.p. in comparison to 2014, mainly due to: (i) the slower pace of growth of the credit portfolio; and (ii) the impact of the process of deceleration of the economic activity. It is important to stress the reduction in the delinquency rate of the Large Companies segment, which compensated, partially, the effects of the increase in delinquency of Individuals and in the Micro, Small and Medium Sized Enterprises.

 

In 2014, the delinquency ratio over 90 days amounted to 3.5% of the credit portfolio, remaining stable compared to 2013.

 

Coverage ratios

 

 

In December 2016, the coverage ratio of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) in relation to loans overdue from 60 to 90 days reached 158.8% and 188.4%, respectively, indicating a comfortable level of provisions.

 

The balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) of R$40,714 million in December 2016, was comprised of: (i) R$33,224 million in provisions required by the Brazilian Central Bank; and (ii) R$7,490 million of additional provisions.

 

 


 

 

 

In December 2015, the coverage ratio of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) in relation to loans overdue from 60 to 90 days reached 161.7% and 198.0%, respectively, indicating a comfortable level of provisions.

 

The balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) of R$29,499 million in December 2015, was comprised of: (i) R$23,089 million in provisions required by the Brazilian Central Bank; and (ii) R$6,410 million of additional provisions.

 

In December 2014, the coverage ratio of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) in relation to loans overdue from 60 to 90 days reached 156.6% and 189.0%, respectively, indicating a comfortable level of provisions.

 

The balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) of R$23,146 million in December 2014, was comprised of: (i) R$19,139 million in provisions required by the Brazilian Central Bank; and (ii) R$4,007 million of additional provisions.

 

b)   capital structure

 

When Bradesco’s Directors analyze the tables below, they understand that the Bank’s current capital structure is adequate and consistent with the business expansion strategy. The largest funding source for its operations is from third-party capital.

 

Capital Structure

 

 

In December 2016, Bradesco’s capital was R$51.1 billion, composed of 5,553,602 thousand book-entry shares without par value, of which 2,776,801 thousand common shares and 2,776,801 thousand preferred shares.

 

In December 2015, Bradesco’s capital was R$43.1 billion, composed of 5,048,729 thousand book-entry shares without par value, of which 2,524,365 thousand were common shares and 2,524,364 thousand were preferred shares.

 

In December 2014, Bradesco’s capital was R$38.1 billion, composed of 4,207,274 thousand book-entry shares without par value, of which 2,103,637 thousand were common shares and 2,103,637 thousand were preferred shares.

 

 


 

 

 

Over the last three years, Bradesco has kept its proportion of capital held by third parties at around 92.0%, which is seen as a normal level for institutions in the financial intermediation business.

 

c)    capacity to pay financial commitments

 

Directors understand that the operations stated in the balance sheet at the periods stated below, for the three last financial years, evidence that Bradesco has a comfortable liquidity margin to comply with its short-term liabilities. It is worth mentioning that Bradesco’s asset and liability management policy is regularly reviewed to ensure sufficient liquidity to honor withdrawals, deposits, repay other obligations at maturity, extend loans or other forms of credit to the customers and meet its own needs of working capital for investment. The following table presents our consolidated balance sheet by maturity:

 

Consolidated Adjusted Balance Sheet by time limits

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

d)   financing sources used for working capital and investments in non-current assets

 

We highlight below the main sources of working capital and investments in non-current assets for the last three financial years:

 

Deposits

 

Deposits are our most important source of funding. It is worth noting that all lines of deposits, in 2016, were impacted by the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation in the third quarter of 2016.

 

In December 2016, the balance of our deposits reached R$234.2 million, an increase of 19.6% compared to December 2015, mainly due to: (i) the larger volume of funding, partly due to the interest rate oscillations occurring in the period; (ii) the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation occurred as of the third quarter of 2016; and (iii) the increase of the base of account holders and of new savings accounts.

 

In December 2015, the balance of our deposits was down by 7.5% in the comparison with December 2014, mostly due to new business opportunities offered to customers, basically due to interest rate fluctuations in the period.

 

Deposits accounted for 34.3% of all obligations in December 2016. The deposits consist primarily of real-denominated, interest-bearing time and savings deposits, real-denominated, non-interest-bearing demand deposits, and interbank deposits.

 

The balance of demand deposits were up R$9,600 million between 2016 and 2015, mainly due to the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation, occurred as of the third quarter of 2016.

 

Regarding the savings deposits, the 2016’s balance increased by 5.7% compared to the 2015’s balance. It is worth highlighting that, Bradesco has been increasing, constantly, its base of savers, and in the last 12 months, presented a net evolution of 2.0 million new savings accounts.

 

The balance of the deposits showed an increase of 29.6% between the years 2016 and 2015, to a large extent explained by: (i) HSBC Brasil’s consolidation, occurred as of the third quarter of 2016; and (ii) the interest rate oscillations occurring in the period; partly offset by: (iii) the new investment alternatives available to clients.

 

 

 


 

 

In December 2016, we had 26.8 million account holders and 62.1 million savings accounts, compared to 26.0 million account holders and 60.1 million savings accounts in December 2015. In December 2014, we had 26.5 million account holders and 59.1 million savings accounts.

 

 

Debentures

 

In December 2016, the balance of debentures of Bradesco reached R$86,064 million, registering an increase of 8.8% in comparison to December 2015. This increase refers mainly to the placement of these financial instruments, which are also used as ballast in committed transactions.

 

In December 2015, the balance of debentures of Bradesco reached R$79,067 million, registering an increase of 14.8% in comparison to December 2014. This increase referred mainly to the use of these debentures as ballast in committed transactions.

 

Borrowing and Onlending

 

In the comparison between 2016 and 2015, the balance of borrowings and onlendings decreased 17.3% or R$12,141 million, basically due to: (i) the decrease of R$9,961 million, or 31.0%, in borrowings and onlendings denominated and/or indexed in foreign currency, whose balance changed from R$32,119 million in December 2015 to R$22,158 million in December 2016, partly due to the negative exchange rate variation of 16.5% in the period; (ii) the reduction in the volume of funds raised by borrowings and onlendings in the country, particularly through Finame operations; offset by: (iii) the increase in the volume of funds raised through BNDES operations.

 

In the comparison between 2015 and 2014, the balance of borrowings and onlendings increased 19.2% or R$11,340 million, basically due to: (i) the increase of R$15,437 million in borrowings and onlendings denominated and/or indexed in foreign currency, whose balance rose from R$16,682 million in December 2014 to R$32,119 million in December 2015, primarily due to the positive exchange rate variation of 47.0% in the period; and offset by: (ii) the reduction of R$4,098 million, or 9.7%, in the volume of funds raised by borrowings and onlendings in the country, particularly through Finame operations.

 

Funds from securities issued

 

In the comparison between December 2016 and 2015, the increase of R$41,260 million, or 37.7%, in funds from securities issued was primarily due to: (i) increased inventory of Financial Bills, from R$71,692 million in December 2015 to R$108,475 million in December 2016, basically due to new issuances in the period; (ii) higher volume of Mortgage Bonds, in the amount of R$6.733 million; and (iii) the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation, occurred as of the third quarter of 2016.

 

In the comparison between December 2015 and 2014, the increase of 29.1% or R$24,722 million in funds from securities issued was primarily due to: (i) increased inventory of Financial Bills, from R$54,961 million in December 2014 to R$71,692 million in December 2015, basically due to new issuances in the period; and (ii) higher volume of Mortgage Bonds, in the amount of R$8.360 million.

 

Subordinated Debt

 

In December 2016, subordinated debt totaled R$52,611 million, up R$2,328 million, or 4.6%, in comparison with 2015, mainly due to the issuing of new subordinated debts in the period.

 

 


 

 

 

In December 2015, Subordinated Debt totaled R$50,283 million (R$13,714 million abroad and R$36,569 million in Brazil), up 40.4% (R$14,461 million) in comparison with December 2014, basically due to: (i) the issuing of new subordinated debts; (ii) the variation in the exchange rate; and partially offset by: (iii) the maturities of debts which occurred in the periods.

 

e)   financing sources for working capital and investments in non-current assets that it intends to use to cover liquidity deficits

 

The Directors report that as sources of financing for working capital and for investments in non-current assets used to cover liquidity shortfalls, the company may use the following resources: (i) Deposit Raising; (ii) Issuance of Debentures; (iii) Loans; (iv) Issuance of Securities; and (v) Injection of Capital by the controlling shareholders. It should be pointed out that Bradesco’s Treasury Department acts as a support center for our business segments by managing the funding and liquidity positions and executing investment objectives in accordance with asset and liability management policies. It is also responsible for setting the rates for our different products, including interbank rates. The Treasury Department covers any funding shortfall through borrowing in the interbank market, investing any surpluses in liquid instruments in the interbank market.

 

In some limited circumstances, we may obtain emergency funds from the Brazilian Central Bank through a transaction referred to as “discount.” A discount is a loan from the Brazilian Central Bank to a financial institution, that loan being guaranteed by Federal Government securities owned by the financial institution. The amount of Federal Government securities held by the financial institution as trading securities limits the amount of discount transactions. Bradesco did not enter into discount transactions for liquidity purposes.

 

f)     indebtedness ratios and the characteristics of the debts, also describing: (i) relevant loan and financing agreements; (ii) other long-term relationships with financial institutions; (iii) level of subordination between debts; (iv) any restrictions imposed on the issuer, in particular in relation to limits for indebtedness and contracting new debts, to the distribution of dividends, disposal of assets, issue of new securities and disposal of shareholding control, as well as if the issuer is in accordance with the restrictions

 

There are no loan and financing agreements or long-term relationships with financial institutions that we believe are relevant for Bradesco.

 

Financial institutions are subject to operating limits defined by the National Monetary Council and the Brazilian Central Bank for operating, according to provisions of the regulations in force, particularly Law No. 4,595/64, which sets forth the National Financial System.

 

Among the limits defined, noteworthy are as follows (i) Reference Equity consistent with the risks of its activity, (ii) fixed assets, which limits to 50% of the Reference Equity the total funds invested in Permanent Assets, (iii) exposure by costumer, which sets forth the maximum limit of 25% of the amount of Reference Equity of exposure by costumer, (iv) exposure in gold, foreign currency and in operations subject to foreign exchange variation, limited to 30% of the Reference Equity amount, and (v) minimum limits of realized capital and shareholders’ equity for operating.

 

Rules also bar financial institutions from carrying out certain operations, and noteworthy are as follows: (i) granting loans or advances to related companies, managers and relatives, and (ii) acquiring real estate not intended for own use.

 

 


 

 

 

g)   limits of contracted financing and percentages already used

 

There are no limits of contracted financing.

 

h)   significant changes to each item of financial statements

 

Directors understand that Bradesco has all financial and asset conditions to ensure the compliance with obligations, guaranteeing the business expansion.

 

We present below comments on the items the Directors believe are important and relevant, stated in the Balance sheet and Statement of Adjusted Income.

 

Consolidated Adjusted Balance Sheet Adjusted

 

In relation to significant changes in consolidated adjusted balance sheet adjusted items, the table below compares the most significant events in 2014, 2015 and 2016. It is worth noting that all lines of the Balance Sheet were impacted by the consolidation of HSBC Brasil, occurring from the third quarter of 2016.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Interbank Investments

 

In December 2016, the balance of interbank investments amounted to R$177,685 million, up R$37,228 million or 26.5% in comparison with December 2015, mainly due to the increase of R$36,632 million or 28.8% in the financed position, mainly due to the increase in the balance of Financial Treasury Bills, that was partly offset by the consolidation of HSBC Brasil, as from third quarter of 2016.

 

The balance of interbank investments amounted to R$140,457 million in December 2015, down R$61,955 million or 30.6% in comparison with December 2014, basically reflecting the drop in the financed position, to the value of R$61,825 million in the period, mainly in National Treasury Notes.

 

Securities

 

In December 2016, securities represented 42.5% of our total assets (December 2015 – 37.7% and December 2014 – 33.6%).

 

In December 2016, the balance of securities was up 34.9% (R$142,289 million) in comparison with December 2015, primarily due to the balance growth of: (i) securities tied to PGBL/VGBL, to the amount of R$52,978 million; (ii) committed operations, arising from investment funds and managed portfolios, applied by subsidiaries included in the Bradesco Consolidated Adjusted, to the amount of R$43,362 million; and (iii) government securities, to the amount of R$30,342 million; and (iv) private securities, to the amount of R$15,602 million.

 

In December 2015, the balance of securities was up 17.7% (R$61.226 million) in comparison with December 2014, primarily due to the balance growth of: (i) government securities, to the amount of R$26,441 million; (ii) private securities, to the amount of R$15,086 million; and (iii) securities tied to PGBL/VGBL, to the amount of R$64,934 million. This increase was offset, partially, by the reduction of R$45,235 million in committed operations, arising from investment funds and managed portfolios, applied by subsidiaries included in the Bradesco Consolidated Adjusted.

 

Interbank and Interbranch Accounts

 

Interbank and interbranch accounts that basically correspond to compulsory deposits with the Brazilian Central Bank, in the amount of R$59,007 million, in December 2016, 4.6% of our total assets (December 2015 – 5.2% and December 2014 – 5.0%).

 

In the comparison between December 2016 and 2015, the 5.9% increase basically refers to an increase in the compulsory reserves on demand deposits, mainly due to the increase of funding volumes.

 

In the comparison between December 2015 and 2014, the 7.2% increase basically refers to an increase in the compulsory reserves on demand deposits, impacted by the increase of the enforceability in the year.

 

Loan and Leasing Operations

 

In December 2016, loan and leasing operations represented 26.9% of our total assets (December 2015 – 30.9% and December 2014 – 30.8%).

 

 

 


 

 

In the comparison between December 2016 and 2015, the 4.1% increase refers, basically to the growth due to the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation, as from third quarter of 2016, partly impacted by the further worsening of economic conditions in the period, leading to lower demand for credit. The products that had the strongest growth in this period for Individuals  were: (i) real estate financing; and (ii) credit cards. In the corporate segment, the highlights were: (i) operations bearing credit risk – commercial portfolio (debentures and promissory notes); and (ii) export financing.

 

In the comparison between December 2015 and 2014, the 4.9% increase refers, basically to the increase in volume of operations, particularly in the following products targeted at individual customers: (i) real estate financing, with an increase of 27.1%; and (ii) payroll-deductible loans, with an increase of 16.7%. In the corporate segment, the highlights were: (i) export financing; and (ii) operations abroad, due to the exchange rate variation in the period.

 

Other Credits and Values and Goods

 

The balance of the other credits and values and goods accounted for in December 2016, 11.7% of our total assets (December 2015 – 12.4% and December 2014 – 10.3%).

 

Between December 2016 and 2015, the evolution of 13.2% or R$17,682 million refers, substantially, to:  (i) an increase in the balance of securities of receivables.; (ii) the higher volume of operations with credit cards; (iii) increase in debtors for escrow deposits; and (iv) an increase in the volume of tax credits, mainly those originating from temporary differences, partly related to: (a) the constitutions of provision for doubtful debtors and (b) labor, tax and civil provisions.

 

Between December 2015 and 2014, the evolution of 25.9% refers, substantially, to: (i) an increase in the volume of tax credits, mainly those originating from temporary differences, related to: (a) the constitutions of provision for doubtful debtors; and (b) adjustments at market value of securities for trading. It is worth noting that the increase of the balance of the tax credits was impacted, also, by the increase in the social contribution aliquot on the temporary additions and negative base provided for realization by December 2018; and (ii) an increase in the balance of securities of receivables.

 

Permanent – Intangible Assets

 

The balance of the permanent assets reached R$31,286 million in December 2016, whereby 68.9% of this total is represented by intangible assets, that recorded R$21,543 million, an increase of R$8,915 million, or 70.6%, in relation to the balance of the previous year, reflecting mainly the constitution of the goodwill arising from the acquisition of HSBC Brasil, in the third quarter of 2016.

 

In December 2015, fixed assets reached R$19,987 million, increase of R$4,917 million compared to 2014. In the comparison between December 2015 and 2014, the evolution of 49.1%, or R$4,157 million, in the balance of intangible assets was due, substantially, to the higher volume and cost of acquired rights.

 

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase

 

The balance of Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled R$349,070 million in December 2016, an increase of 24.8%, or R$69,344 million compared to December 2015, mainly due to the increase: (i) of R$39,142 in operations with the third parties portfolio, mainly influenced by the variation of the Treasury Financial Bills; and (ii) of R$26,146 million in the balance of own operations portfolio, due, largely, to the increase of operations with public securities and debentures.

 

 


 

 

 

The balance of Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, in the comparative between December 2015 and 2014, showed a drop of 12.6% or R$40,468 million, driven, basically, by the drop of R$61,206 million in operations with the third parties portfolio. This fall was partially offset by an increase of R$16,421 million in the balance of own operations portfolio.

 

Provisions for insurance, pension plan and capitalization

 

In the comparison between December 2016 and 2015, technical reserves for insurance, pension plans and capitalization grew by 25.6%, or R$45,507 million, mainly due to the increase: (i) of R$41,558 million in pension products, basically as a result of the variation in technical reserves for VGBL plans and PGBL; and (ii) of R$3,341 million in insurance products, with an emphasis on "Health" and "Life".

 

In the comparison between December 2015 and 2014, technical reserves for insurance, pension plans and capitalization grew by 16.0%, or R$24,568 million, mainly due to: (i) an increase of R$19,075 million in technical reserves for VGBL plans; and (ii) an increase of R$1,895 million in technical reserves for PGBL plans.

 

Other liabilities

 

In the comparative between December 2016 and 2015, the increase of 15.1% of other obligations is related, basically, to the increase of the: (i) of miscellaneous provisions, like contingent liabilities and sureties and guarantees; (ii) operations with credit cards; (iii) obligations with credit concession; (iv) the subordinated debt; and (v) the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil as of the third quarter of 2016.

 

Between December 2015 and 2014, the evolution of 21.3% in the balance of other obligations refers, substantially, to the increase of the volume of subordinated debts, presenting a growth of 40.4%, or R$14,461 million, compared to December 2014, caused, basically: (i) the issuing of new subordinated debts; (ii) the variation in the exchange rate; and partially offset by: (iii) the maturities of debts which occurred in the periods.

 

We also highlight that the main sources of fund raising: (i) Deposits; (ii) Debentures; (iii) Loans and onlendings; (iv) Resources from issuance of securities; and (v) Subordinated debts, are being commented in item 10.1 d).

 

Statement of Adjusted Income

 

During the year of 2016, certain non-recurring events were recorded in our financial statements in order to allow a better understanding, comparability and analysis of our performance, we have adjusted our Statement of Income after excluding such events, thus resulting in what we refer to as Statement of Adjusted Income.

 

 


 

 

(1) In 2016, refers basically to the constitution of: (i) provision for insufficiency of premium (PIP); and (ii) provision for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR), both related to the "Health" segment;

We present below the financial information for the financial years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. It should be noted that all the results, in 2016, were impacted by the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil, which began in the third quarter of 2016.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

The adjusted net income for 2016 totaled R$17,121 million, which represented a decrease of 4.2%, or R$752 million compared to 2015. Return on Average Equity (ROAE) in 2016 fell 2.9 p.p. compared to December 2015, and reached 17.6%.

We comment below on the main captions affecting the results for the last three financial years:

 

Financial margin

 

In 2016, the financial margin reached R$62,454 million, showing a growth of 12.8%, or R$7,067 million, compared to 2015, mostly reflecting the higher result obtained with operations (i) earning "interest", to the value of R$8,282 million, with emphasis on "Credit Intermediation", partly due to the consolidation of HSBC Brasil, occurred as of the third quarter of 2016; (ii) the non-interest-earning”, in the amount of R$49 million; and offset by: (iii) the effect of impairment of financial assets, in the amount of R$1.264 million.

 

In 2015, the financial margin reached R$55,387 million, showing a growth of 14.7%, or R$7,092 million, in relation to the year of 2014, mostly reflecting: (i) the higher result obtained with operations earning "interest", to the value of R$7,280 million, with emphasis on "Credit Intermediation" and "TVM/Other"; and offset: (ii) by the lowest result obtained with the margin of "non-interest", to the value of R$188 million.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)

 

In 2016, the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) totaled R$21,739 million, registering a variation of 43.3%, or R$6,565 million, over the same period of the previous year, mainly due to: (i) higher delinquency ratio, mainly impacted by the further worsening of economic conditions in the period; (ii) leveling of provisions for certain corporate clients, particularly a specific case, whose downgraded rating had an impact of R$1,201 million in the first semester of 2016; and (iii) effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil as of the third quarter of 2016.

 

In 2015, the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) totaled R$15,174 million, up 19.9% (R$2,517 million) impacted, mainly: (i) by the effect of the alignment of the level of provisioning of certain operations with corporate customers; (ii) by the increase in delinquency in the period; and (iii) by the increment of credit operations.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Insurance Premiums, Pension Plans and Capitalization, net of variation of Technical Reserves, Retained Claims and Others

 

In 2016, the Insurance Premiums, Pension Plans and Capitalization, net of variation of Technical Reserves, Retained Claims and Others reached R$5,669 million, increase of 4.5%, or R$243 million, compared to the previous year.

 

In the annual comparison, a 10.5% increase was recorded for billing of written premiums, pension plan contribution and income from capitalization bonds. This evolution was mainly due to the performance of "Health", "Life and Pension" and “Capitalization” products, which showed increases of 14.7%, 10.7%, and 6.5%, respectively.

 

The net income of the financial year of 2016 was 5.0% higher than the results presented in the previous year, basically due to: (i) the increase of 10.5% in revenue; (ii) the increase in the financial and equity results; (iii) the decrease of 0.4 p.p. in the commercialization index; (iv) the increase in the administrative efficiency index, considering the collective bargaining of the category in January 2016; partially offset by: (v) the increase of 2.7 p.p. in the claims ratio index; (vi) the effect of R$101.9 million arising from the review of the extended warranty operation’s business plan; and (vii) the effect of the increase in the aliquot of the Social Contribution (CSLL).

 

In 2015, insurance premiums, pension plans and capitalization bonds, net of variation of technical reserves, retained claims and others reached R$5,426 million, showing an increase of 7.5%, or R$379 million, compared to the previous year.

 

In the comparison between 2015 and 2014, a 15.1% increase was recorded for billing of written premiums, pension plan contribution and income from capitalization bonds. This evolution was mainly due to the performance of "Health" and "Life and Pension" products, which showed a growth of 20.1% and 18.1%, respectively.

 

It is important to stress that the net income of the financial year of 2015 was 20.0% higher than the results presented in the same period last year, due to: (i) the growth in the turnover; (ii) the improvement in the financial and equity results; (iii) the improvement in the index of administrative efficiency, offset, partly; (iv) by the increase of 1.0 p.p. in the claims ratio index; and (v) by the burdening of the aliquot of the Social Contribution (CSLL), which rose from 15% to 20%, from September 2015, and which affected, proportionally, the result for the financial year of 2015.

 

Fee and Commission Income

 

In 2016, the fee and commission income totaled R$28,024 million, up R$3,185 million, or 12.8%, in the annual comparison, primarily due to: (i) the increase in the volume of operations, resulting from continuous investments in technology and service channels, coupled with the growth provided by the acquisition of HSBC Brasil in the third quarter of 2016; and (ii) an advance in the client segmentation process improving the ability to offer products and services. It must be noted that the sources that have significantly contributed to this result were derived from: (i) an increase in checking account fees, mainly due to an improvement in the client segmentation process; (ii) the good performance of the card business, as a result of (a) the increase in financial volume traded; and (b) the highest volume of transactions performed; and increased fees arising from: (iii) asset management; (iv) consortium management; (v) underwriting/ financial advisory services; (vi) collections; and (vii) custody and brokerage services.

 

 

 


 

 

In 2015, the fee and commission income totaled R$24,839 million, up 12.4% (R$2,750 million), mainly provided by the: (i) increase in the volume of operations, resulting from continuous investments in technology and service channels; and (ii) progress in the customer segmentation process, allowing a more adequate offer of products and services. It is worth highlighting that the incomes that have most contributed to this result derived from: (i) the good performance of the cards activity, result (a) of the increase in the financial volume transacted; and (b) of the higher number of transactions performed; (ii) of the growth of the current account revenue, caused, basically, by improving the process of segmentation of clients; and evolution of revenue with: (iii) loan operations; (iv) fund management; and (v) consortium management.

 

Personnel Expenses

 

In 2016, Personnel Expenses totaled R$17,637 million, up 20,0% (R$2,938 million), in comparison with the previous year, mainly due to the variations in the following expenses: (i) "structural" portion due to the increase in expenses with payroll, social charges and benefits, impacted by (a) higher salaries, in accordance with the 2015 and 2016 collective bargaining agreements; and (b) the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil as of the third quarter of 2016; and (ii) "non-structural" portion, mainly due to higher expenses with (a) employee and management profit sharing; and (b) employment termination costs.

 

In 2015, personnel expenses totaled R$14,699 million, up 5.2% (R$732 million) in comparison with 2014, due to the increase in the “structural” portion in relation to increased expenses on salaries, social charges and benefits, and offset by wage increases, as per the collective bargaining agreements of 2014 and 2015.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

In 2016, administrative expenses totaled R$19,134 million, an increase of 17.1%, (or R$2,795 million), in the annual comparison, mainly due to an increase in expenses originated from: (i) a growth in the business volume and services within the period, impacted by the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil as of the third quarter of 2016; (ii) contractual adjustments; and (iii) the effect of the actions of advertising and marketing, mainly related to the "Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games", occurred in the third quarter of 2016.

 

In 2015, administrative expenses totaled R$16,339 million, an increase of 10.0% (or R$1,491 million), due to strong cost control through the coordinated actions of the Efficiency Committee. It should be highlighted that this increase was due basically to the increment of expenses generated: (i) by the growth in the volume of business and services in the period; (ii) by contractual adjustments; (iii) by the behavior of the US dollar in the last 12 months, which reached 47.0% of valuation against the real; and mitigated: (iv) by optimizing the points of service.

 

Tax Expenses

 

Increases in tax expenses for both the comparative period between 2016 and 2015 and the period between 2015 and 2014 are basically due to the higher expenses on service tax and taxes on income (ISS//Cofins/PIS), arising from the rise in tax revenues, particularly in the financial margin and banking services fees.

 

Other Operating Revenues and Expenses

 

In 2016, the other net operating expenses totaled R$7,015 million, registered a growth of R$307 million, or 4.6%, compared to the previous year, mainly due to: (i) tax contingency expenses, net of reversal, in the first semester of 2016, in the amount of R$485 million; (ii) the increase in civil provision expenses; and (iii) the effect of the consolidation of HSBC Brasil as of the third quarter of 2016.

 

 


 

 

 

In the comparative between 2015 and 2014, the other net operating expenses, registered a growth of R$1,313 million, originated, basically: (i) by the constitution of the tax provision, in the first half of 2015, on the incidence of pension contributions and IRPJ/CSLL on credit losses in the amount of R$570 million; (ii) by higher expenditure related to (a) the constitution of civil provisions and (b) miscellaneous losses; (iii) by the impact of the creation of the joint venture of services (Cateno) in Cielo; and (iv) by amortization of the premium.

 

10.2 - Operating and Financial Income

 

Directors should comment:

 

a)   results of issuer’s operations, in particular:

 

i) description of any major components of revenue

Below we highlight our principal operating income, which grew by 7.3% or R$17,471 million, in the comparison between 2016 and 2015, particularly regarding: (i) income from insurance retained premiums, pension plans and capitalization; (ii) income from loan and leasing operations; (iii) financial income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization bonds; (iv) fee and commission income; and partly offset by: (v) the decrease of income from operations with securities, derivatives and exchange.

 

In the comparison between 2015 and 2014, our principal operating income showed an increase of R$46,754 million, or 24.5% particularly regarding: (i) income from securities, derivatives and foreign exchange operations; (ii) income from insurance retained premiums, pension plans and capitalization bonds; (iii) income from loan and leasing operations; and (iv) financial income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization bonds.

 

   

 

Loan and Leasing Operations

 

In 2016, income from loan and leasing operations increased by R$6,401 million, or 10.2%, in the annual comparison, due to the increase in the rate of interest and volume of the credit operations portfolio, mainly due to the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation, occurred as of the third quarter of 2016.

 


 

 

 

Now in the comparative between the years of 2015 and 2014, there was an evolution of 15.2%, or R$8,300 million, due to the growth of our credit portfolio and interest rate oscillations.

 

We demonstrate below the opening of the products and clients (Individuals and Legal Entities) of our portfolio of credit operations in the expanded concept (including Sureties and Guarantees, Letters of Credit, Anticipation of Credit Card Receivables, Debentures, Promissory Notes, Credit Rights Investment Funds, Certificates of Real Estate Receivables and Rural Credit):

 

 

In December 2016, the balance of the credit portfolio for Individuals reached R$172,045 million, an increase of 16.4% compared to the previous year, partly due to the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation, occurred as of the third quarter of 2016. The categories highlighted in the period were “real estate financing” and “credit cards”.

The comparison between the 2015 and 2014 balances, loan operations for Individuals were up 4.5%. The lines that contributed most to such increase were: (i) real estate financing; and (ii) payroll-deductible loan, mainly, public sector and beneficiaries of the INSS.

 

 

In December 2016, operations in the Legal Entities section increased 5.1% compared to the previous year, partly influenced by the effect of HSBC’s consolidation. The categories highlighted in the period were “operations with credit risk - debentures” and “export financing”.

 

 

 


 

 

Credit operations for Legal Entities, showed a growth of 4.0% in the comparison between the balances of 2015 and 2014, with emphasis on: (i) export financing; and (ii) operations abroad, due to the exchange rate variation in the period.

 

Income from Securities, Derivatives and Foreign Exchange Operations

In the comparison between 2016 and 2015, the decrease of R$6,508 million in the income from securities, derivatives and foreign exchange operations was mainly due to: (i) a decrease in foreign exchange operations mainly due to the negative exchange rate variation of 16.5% in the period; (ii) the fall of derivative instruments, which were impacted by adjustments in the fiscal hedge and exchange rate variations of operations abroad; partly offset by: (iii) the higher volume of operations with fixed-income securities.

In the comparison between the 2015 and 2014 balances, the variations recorded in income from securities refer to the higher volume of operations with fixed-income securities.

Financial Income from Insurance, Pension Plans and Capitalization Bonds

In 2016, the financial income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization bonds totaled R$28,020 million, up 27.9% compared to 2015, basically due to higher income from fixed-income investment funds.

In 2015, the financial income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization bonds totaled R$21,908 million, up 45.6% compared to 2014, basically reflection of the increase in business volume and behavior of IPCA and IGP-M in the period.

Result from Compulsory Deposits

In the comparison between the 2016 and 2015 balances, the 24.2% increase in income was basically due to the increase of R$23,521 million in the balance of time deposits and the increase of the average SELIC rate in the period, which rose from 13.75% in 2015 to 14.13% in 2016.

In the comparison between the 2015 and 2014 balances, the 6.8% increase in income was due basically to the increase of the SELIC rate in the period, which rose from 11.75% in 2014 to 14.25% in 2015, as well as the effect of the redefinition of the rules adopted by Bacen in 2015, impacting, mainly, the compulsory reserves on time deposits.

Income from Insurance retained Premiums, Pension Plans and Capitalization, and Banking Services Fees

 

Regarding the variations in income from insurance retained premiums, pension plans and capitalization and banking services fees, the related comments are included in item 10.1.h.

 

ii) factors that materially affected the operating results

 

Directors report that no factors have occurred that might significantly affect the company’s operating results in the last three financial years other than those described in items 10.1.a; 10.1.h and 10.2.a.i.

 

b)   variations in income from price changes, foreign exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and introduction of new products and services

 

Directors report that there were no significant variations in the issuer’s financial income or revenues attributable to changing prices of our main inputs and products, exchange rates, inflation, altered volumes or the introduction of new products and services for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

 

 


 

 

c)    impact of inflation, variation of prices of main inputs and products, and foreign exchange and interest rates on the issuer’s operating income and financial income, when relevant

 

During periods of high interest rates, our financial income increases because the interest rates on our interest-earning assets are higher too. At the same time, we incur higher financial expenses since interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities are also higher. Changes in volumes of our assets and liabilities that incur interest also affect our revenues and expenses. For example, an increase in our interest income attributable to higher interest rates may be offset by a reduction in the volume of our outstanding loans.

 

Moreover, when the Brazilian real depreciates, we incur: (i) losses on our liabilities denominated in or indexed to foreign currency, such as our long-term debt denominated in USD and foreign currency borrowings, in such a way that the cost in BRL of the relative financial expense increases; and (ii) gains in our assets denominated in and/or indexed to foreign currency, such as our securities and loan operations indexed to the USD, when the revenue from these assets measured in BRL increases. Conversely, when the Brazilian real appreciates, we incur: (i) losses on our assets denominated in and/or indexed to foreign currencies; and (ii) gains on our liabilities denominated in or indexed to foreign currency.

 

In 2016, the interest earning portion increased 15.1%, rising from R$54,777 million in 2015 to R$63,059 million in 2016. The R$8,282 million increase in the interest earning portion income resulted mainly from the results obtained in “Credit Intermediation”, in the amount of R$7,109 million, partly due to the effect of HSBC Brasil’s consolidation occurred as of the third quarter of 2016. It is important to note that the interest rate (CDI) increased from 13.25% in 2015 to 14.01% in 2016, impacting the evolution of the average spread.

 

In 2015, the interest earning portion increased 15.3%, rising from R$47,497 million in 2014 to
R$54,777 million in 2015. The R$7,280 million increase in the transactions with interest was mostly the result obtained from the "Credit Intermediation" and "TVM/Other". We highlight the growth of the interest rate (CDI) which went from 10.81% in 2014 to 13.25% in 2015, impacting the evolution of the average
spread.

 

10.3 - Events with Significant Effects (occurred and expected) on Financial Statements

 

Directors should comment on material effects that the events below have caused or are expected to cause for the issuer’s financial statements and results:

 

a)   introduction or sale of operating segment

 

No operational segment was introduced or sold in the period.

 

b)    creation, acquisition or sale of equity interest

 

In October 2016, approval was granted in an Extraordinary General Meeting for the partial spin-off of HSBC Brasil, through the absorption of portions of its equity by Bradesco’s companies, enabling progress with the integration of operational and technological platforms, resulting in the replacement of the HSBC brand in its service network, becoming Bradesco. Thus, Bradesco began to operate with a unified platform (branches, ATMs, and systems), to which all clients have access to. From now on, Bradesco will add to the products and services already offered to HSBC Brasil clients, a nationwide service network, a state-of-the-art technology platform, and an even more extensive portfolio of products and services.

 

In July 2016, Bradesco informed the market that the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. – Banco Múltiplo and HSBC Serviços e Participações Ltda. (HSBC Brasil) had been completed and the amount paid to HSBC Latin America Holdings Limited was R$16.0 billion.

 

On August 3, 2015, Bradesco informed the market that it had signed the Purchase Contract of Shares with HSBC Latin America Holdings Limited for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. – Banco Múltiplo and HSBC Serviços e Participações Ltda. (HSBC Brasil), for the value of US$5.2 billion. The price shall be adjusted by the equity variation of HSBC Brasil as per December 31, 2014 and will be paid on the date of completion of the operation. With the acquisition, Bradesco will assume all operations of HSBC in Brazil, including retail, insurance and asset management, as well as all the branches and clients. In January 2016, Bradesco communicated to the market that the Brazilian Central Bank approved the acquisition of 100% of the capital share of HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. – Banco Múltiplo and of HSBC Serviços e Participações Ltda (HSBC Brasil). The conclusion of the operation was subject to approval by the other competent regulatory agencies and fulfillment of the legal formalities.

 

 


 

 

As of July 1, 2016, Bradesco started consolidating the financial statements of HSBC Brasil, considering six months (from July to December) of results for this financial year and, as additional information, we present the historic series of the pro-forma financial statements of HSBC Brasil below:

The Directors highlight that, although there have been no significant changes in accounting practices of Bradesco, it is noteworthy that, unlike the other publically-traded companies that are already using all of the “CPCs”, financial institutions use nine of the technical accounting standards issued by Brazil’s Accounting Standards Committee (CPC), that were approved by the National Monetary Council (CMN). The other CPC statements, interpretations and guidelines will only be applicable to financial institutions after approval by the National Monetary Council.

 

In 2016, there was the initial application of the CPC 33 – Benefits for Employees from Financial Institutions, according to requirements of the CMN. As we have already applied the requirements, due to this CPC having been approved previously by the CVM, there was no effect on our financial statements.

 

It is currently not possible to estimate when National Monetary Council will approve the other CPC accounting statements or if their adoption will be prospectively or retrospectively.

 

Below is a list of the nine CPC accounting statements approved by the National Monetary Council:

·         Resolution No. 3,566/08 – Asset impairment (CPC 01);

·         Resolution No. 3,604/08 – Statement of cash flows (CPC 03);

·         Resolution No. 3,750/09 – Related party disclosures (CPC 05);

·         Resolution No. 3,823/09 – Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets (CPC 25);

·         Resolution No. 3,973/11 – Subsequent events (CPC 24);

·         Resolution No. 3,989/11 – Share-based payment (CPC 10);

·         Resolution No. 4,007/11 – Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors (CPC 23);

·         Resolution No. 4,144/12 – Basic conceptual pronouncement (R1); and

·         Resolution No. 4,424/15 – Benefits to Employees (CPC 33).

 

c)    Reservations and emphases in the auditor’s report

 

There were no disclaimers and emphases on the independent auditors’ report.

 

 

 


 

 

10.5 - Critical Accounting Policies

 

Directors should indicate and comment on the critical accounting policies adopted by the issuer, in particular, accounting estimates made by management on uncertain and relevant issues for describing the financial position and results of operations that require subjective or complex judgment, such as: provisions, contingencies, revenue recognition, tax credits, long-lived assets, useful life of non-current assets, pension plans, foreign currency translation adjustments, environmental recovery costs, criteria for asset and financial instrument impairment tests.

 

Bradesco has disclosed critical risk factors and accounting policies, in conformity with the best international transparency and Corporate Governance practices, in relation to possible political and economic situations in the domestic and foreign markets, which may directly impact the day-to-day of operations and, accordingly, the Bank’s financial position.

Our Directors believe that Bradesco’s results are subject to accounting policies, assumptions and estimates. It is Management’s responsibility to adopt fair accounting practices, in addition to using judgment while carrying out reasonable and conservative estimates to be used in the preparation of financial statements.

Regarding materiality, the items below describe the accounting policies deemed as critical, as well as the areas demanding better judgment or involving a high complexity level, which may affect our financial position and the result of our operations. The accounting estimates we carry out in this context cause us to make assumptions on issues involving uncertainties. In each case, if our estimates are not confirmed, in the comparison with effective results, there may be significant impacts on our financial situation or the results of our operations.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated in an amount sufficient to cover possible losses and take into account the rules and instructions issued by National Monetary Council and Brazilian Central Bank, together with the appraisals carried out by Management upon calculation of credit risks.

At the end of each period, the allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted based on the analysis of our portfolio, including the estimate of losses in loan and leasing operations and other operations with credit characteristics.

In view of its nature, the definition of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires us to make judgments and assumptions related to our portfolios, both on individual and product-specific portfolio bases. Whenever we reassess the portfolio as a whole, a number of factors may affect the estimate of the probable losses, including which methodology we will adopt for measuring the historical delinquency rates and which historical period we will take into account to carry out such measurements. Other factors that may affect our judgment to set the amount regarding the allowance for doubtful accounts include as follows:

·         Brazilian general economic conditions and relevant conditions in the sector;

·         previous experience with the debtor or the relevant economy sector, including the recent experience of losses;

·         credit quality trends;

·         values loan securities;

 

 


 

 

·         volume, composition and growth of our portfolio;

·         the Brazilian government’s monetary policy; and

·         any delays in receiving information necessary to evaluate operations or confirm existing impairment.

We use models to help the analysis of our portfolios and define the required amount of the provision for losses. We use statistical factors to show losses and other risk indicators for groups of loans with similar risk characteristics to achieve an estimate of losses incurred by the portfolio. Although our models are often reviewed and improved, by their nature, they depend on our judgments made in relation to information and/or forecasts we receive. In addition, the Brazilian economy’s volatility may lead to greater uncertainty in our models than one would expect in more stable macroeconomic environments. Therefore, our provision for doubtful debt may not be indicative of actual future losses.

The process to calculate the level of provision for doubtful debt requires a high judgment level. It is possible that others, taking into account the same information, may at any time reach reasonably different conclusions.

Classification of Securities and Derivatives

Securities are classified into three categories: for trading, available for sale, and held to maturity. This classification is based on the Management’s intent of keeping or selling such securities. The accounting treatment to the securities we hold is dependent on how they are classified. Changes in the economic environment may alter our strategy in relation to a particular security, which would require a transfer between categories.

Evaluation of Securities and Derivatives

Financial instruments and derivatives recorded at fair value in our financial statements basically include securities classified as: (i) for trading; (ii) available for sale; and (iii) other trading assets, including derivatives. The fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a liability in a transaction not enforced among market participants on the date of measurement.

We estimate the fair value by using the market prices, as available. We note that the price may be affected by the volume of shares transacted, and may also fail to reflect the “control premiums” under share agreements with shareholders, which holds significant investments. However, the Management believes that market prices are the best indicators of fair value.

At the determination of the fair value, when market prices are not available, the Management’s judgment is made, as models depend on our judgment of weight assignable to different factors and the quality of information received. The factors used in these models include quotations by distributors, pricing models, prices of instruments with similar characteristics and discounted cash flows. Model-based pricing also uses information on interest rates, foreign exchange rates and volatility of options, whenever significant and available. Such as reliable market data while estimating the impact of keeping a large position is generally limited. We use likewise our judgment for estimating prices whenever there is no external parameter. If we make inaccurate assumptions or the model itself makes inaccurate correlations or assumptions, the amount of income or loss recorded for a specific asset or liability may be incorrect. Judgment should also determines whether a reduction in the fair value below the updated cost of a held-to-maturity or an available-for-sale security is not temporary, so that it would demand the possible recognition of impairment of the updated cost and that we may record this reduction as an expense. At that evaluation, if any devaluation is not temporary, the Management will decide which historic period should be considered and how severally a loss may be provisioned for.

 

 


 

 

These appraisal methods may lead Bradesco to have different results should the assumptions and estimates used fail to subsequently become real.

Tax Income and Social Contribution

The value determination of income tax and social contribution is complex, and therefore our evaluation is based on the analysis of our deferred fiscal assets and liabilities and income tax and social contribution payable. In general, the evaluation requires us to estimate the future amounts of deferred fiscal assets and income tax and social contribution payable. Evaluating the possibility of any deferred fiscal assets to be realized is subjective and involves uncertain evaluations and assumptions. Realization of deferred fiscal assets is subject to changes to future fiscal rates and the development of our tax planning strategies. Evaluations and assumptions may change over time as a result of unforeseen events or circumstances, thereby changing our initial judgment during the definition of our tax liabilities.

We continuously monitor and evaluate the impact of new tax laws on our liabilities, as well as new events likely to affect the evaluations and assumptions of our analysis of the possibility of deferred fiscal assets realization.

A significant judgment is required for the determination of the probability of a position on income tax and social contribution be sustained even after the result of any legal or administrative proceedings, on the basis of technical merits. An additional judgment is then required to determine the amount of benefit eligible to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment

The balances of securities classified as available-for-sale and held to maturity, in addition to non-financial assets (except for deferred tax credits), are reassessed at least on a yearly basis, to determine where there is any indication of impairment. When a loss is identified, we recognize an expense in income for the year. This occurs when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable value.

We use a number of judgments to calculate the recoverable value, and accordingly we estimate the value of the most variable assets subject to impairment testing.

Technical provisions for insurance, pension plan and capitalization

Technical reserves are liabilities representing estimates of amounts to be due on of the future to our customers, stakeholders of pension plans, insured parties or their beneficiaries. The actuarial assumptions are based on our experience, and are periodically reviewed in relation to sector standards to assure actuarial credibility. However, significant changes in the experiences or assumptions may compel us to establish a provision for expected future losses on a product, establishing complementary provisions for premiums of insurance and contributions of pension plans. These provisions are set forth in short- or long-term agreements to forecast expected future losses.

For insurance, future claims to be paid include provisions for group and individual life, health, contingency, liability and damage insurance. These benefits are calculated using actuarial hypotheses for mortality rates, incapacity, expiry date, investment performance, inflation, expenses, and others. For long-term insurance agreements, when the actuarial hypotheses in a specific policy or group of policies are fulfilled, they will not be changed during the validity time of the policy. Liabilities recognized for claims include provisions for incurred but not reported claims and provisions for unsettled claims. We

 


 

 

recognize claims as they occur. However, costs of claims occurred in a specific period will not be clearly recognized until we receive, process and pay such indemnities. We determine the liability amount through actuarial methods based on history of claim payments to estimate claim liabilities. Methods to determine such estimates and establish the values of the technical provisions are periodically reviewed and updated. The resulting adjustments are recognized in income for the respective period.

For pension plans, future benefits to be paid to participants or their beneficiaries include provisions for retirement, pension and redemptions, with actuarial hypotheses that take into account factors such as survivorship, interest rates, and disability, among others.

For capitalization bonds operations, future payments to our customers include provisions for prize draws and redemptions. These are calculated over par security values and adjusted for inflation.

Accounting provisions and contingent liabilities

We established accounting provisions recorded based the opinion of legal counsel, the nature of the lawsuits, similarity with previous proceedings, complexity and positioning of the courts, whenever the loss is deemed probable, which would cause a potential outflow of funds to settle the obligation, and when amounts can be reliably measured.

Contingent liabilities classified as possible losses are not recorded as liabilities in the financial statements and must only be stated in notes, when individually relevant, whereas the liabilities classified as remote losses do not require provisions or statements.

We continuously monitor lawsuits in progress in order to evaluate, among other things: (i) the nature and complexity thereof; (ii) the development of the proceedings; (iii) the opinion of our legal advisors; and (iv) our experience with similar cases. Upon determining whether a loss is likely to occur and estimating its value, we also consider:

a)      the probability of loss derived from claims occurred on or before the date of financial statements, which were identified by us after the date of such statements but before their publication; and

 

b)      the need to disclose claims or events occurred after the date of financial statements, but before their publication.

 

10.6 - Material Items not shown in Financial Statements

 

Directors should describe material items not shown in the issuer’s financial statements, and state:

 

a)   assets and liabilities directly or indirectly held by the issuer that are not presented in its balance sheet (off-balance sheet items), such as:

 

i)        operating leases, assets and liabilities;

 

There are no relevant items that have not been evidenced in the financial statements.

 

ii) written-off portfolios of receivables for which the entity has risks and responsibilities, indicating the related liabilities;

 

 

 


 

 

There are no relevant items that have not been evidenced in the financial statements.

 

iii) agreements for the future purchase and sale of products or services;

 

There are no relevant items that have not been evidenced in the financial statements.

 

iv) agreements for constructions in progress;

 

There are no relevant items that have not been evidenced in the financial statements.

 

v) agreements for future receipt of financing;

 

There are no relevant items that have not been evidenced in the financial statements.

 

b)   other items omitted from the financial statements.

 

Below, we present the values that represent the total risk of off-balance sheet items:

 

 

The commitments of the credit values include limits for authorization of credit card, personal credit, real estate financing, conta garantida (guaranteed account) and overdraft. Such values consist basically in the credit operations contracted, not yet released, and limits not yet used by clients.

The guarantees offered are conditional commitments of loans issued to guarantee the performance of a client before a third party. According to these guarantees, generally, we have the right of recourse against the client to recover any amounts paid. In addition, we retain resources in cash or other guarantees of high liquidity to ensure these commitments. These operations, relate, in their vast majority, to operations of sureties and guarantees carried out with Corporate clients.

The letters of credit (credits opened for imports) are undertakings issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. We issue business letters of credit to enable foreign trade transactions. These instruments are short-term commitments to pay the beneficiary of a third party under certain contractual conditions by the shipment of products. The contracts are subject to the same credit assessments applied in other credit concessions.

10.7 - Comments on Material Items not shown in Financial Statements

 

In relation to each of the items omitted from the financial statements referred to in item 10.6, the Directors should comment:

As described in item 10.6, we inform that, with regard to the guarantees provided and the letters of credit for import, the issuer receives a rate or a commission for the operation that sensitizes the revenue and consequently the operating income. If a problem occurs related to the capacity of a client making a payment, there may be the need for the constitution of provisions. Now regarding the commitments of credit values to be released, there will be only impact on the lines of income, if clients use these lines of credit.

 

b)   nature and purpose of operation;

 

Information mentioned in item 10.6.
