Net Income and Profitability 
 

In 3Q09, the Net Income stood at R$1,811 million compared to R$2,297 million in 2Q09. In 3Q09, there was the divestment of Visanet Brasil’s supplementary lot of shares (green shoe), whose gross gain was R$410 million, and the negative impacts related to civil provisions, mainly from economic plans, in the amount of R$387 million, in addition to larger expenses with personnel, referring to the collective bargaining agreement, in the total amount of R$145 million. It is worth mentioning that the net gain of taxes, in the amount of R$460 million, referring to the partial divestment in Visanet Brasil and to the additional PLL, was recorded in 2Q09’s income.

Average Shareholders’ Equity** stood at R$36,564 million on September 30, 2009, a 16.3% growth year-on-year. Capital Adequacy Ratio ended 3Q09 at 17.7%, 14.3% of which under Tier I of Reference Shareholder’s Equity.

Bradesco’s Net Income totaled R$5,831 million in 9M09, stable vis-à-vis 2008, despite the slowdown in the financial activity more thoroughly observed in 1H09, caused by the world’s economic crisis that increased delinquency level.

The main items that contributed to such result are outlined below.



 
Efficiency Ratio 
 

Quarter-on-quarter, the Efficiency Ratio* improved 0.3 p.p., which was basically due to the increase in revenues, chiefly Net Interest Income and Fees and Commissions, which were offset by the increase in personnel and administrative expenses and other operating expenses, as a result of greater provisions for contingency related to economic plans.

Year-on-year, it is worth mentioning that the higher income from Bradesco Seguros and its subsidiaries also contributed to the cost-to-income ratio improvement.

* Efficiency Ratio (ER) YTD = Personnel – Employee Profit Sharing (PLR) + Administrative Expenses / Net Interest Income + Income from Insurance + Fee Income + Equity in the Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Companies – Other Operating Expenses + Other Operating Income. If we considered the ratio between total administrative costs (Personnel Expenses + Administrative Expenses + Other Operating Expenses + Tax Expenses not related to revenue generation) and the generation of revenue net of related taxes (not considering Claims Expenses from the Insurance Group), our 3Q09 ER index would be 41.0% .

10


 
Net Interest Income 
 

In the q-o-q comparison, the R$27 million variation was due to:

• the increase in income from interest-earning operations in the amount of R$120 million, mainly due to higher average volumes; and

Offset by:

• the reduction in non-interest income in the amount of R$93 million, caused by lower securities/treasury gains.

Observing the behavior of net interest income in the y-o-y comparison, we have an improvement of R$5,043 million, corresponding to a 29.3% growth, derived by the following factors:

• the increase of R$3,090 million from interest-earning operations, basically due to higher average business volumes; and

• the increase in non-interest income in the amount of R$1,953 million basically derived from higher securities/treasury gains.

11


 
Total Loan Portfolio 
 

In September 2009, the Bradesco Organization total loan operations (considering sureties, guarantees, advances of credit card receivables, assignment of Receivables Securitization Funds (FIDC) and Certificates of Real Estate Receivables (CRI)) totaled R$215.5 billion. The 1.3% increase in the quarter was a result from the growth of 1.7% in the Individuals’ portfolio, of 1.5% in SMEs and of 0.8% in Large Corporates. The lower growth of Large Corporates is mainly related to the depreciation of the dollar in the quarter, vis-à-vis the Real, negatively impacting the dollar-indexed and/or denominated loan and financing balances when calculated in the local currency, which represented 14.9% of this portfolio.

In the y-o-y comparison, the portfolio grew by 10.2%, of which: Large Corporates 12.8%, SMEs 9.3% and Individuals 8.2% .

In the Corporate segment, the products which contributed the most to such increase were: mortgages – corporate plans, credit card, BNDES Onlendings and working capital. In the Individuals segment, we highlight: leasing, mortgages and payroll deductible loans.



 
Provision for Loan Losses (PLL)* 
 

In 3Q09, we notice that the balance of the provision for loan losses expenses slightly dropped, as a result of the gradual upturn of the economic activity, beneficial for our clients’ payment capacity.

In the y-o-y comparison, besides the effects of the world’s financial crisis, Bradesco decided to increase the excess of provision for loans by R$1.3 billion in 2Q09.


* Considering additional PLL: R$1.3 billion in 2Q09, R$177 million (cards) in 1Q09 and R$597 million in 4Q08.

12
 
Delinquency Ratio > 90 days 
 

The delinquency ratio for 90 days increased in the 3Q09, impacted by the economic slowdown. In the Individuals’ segment, we notice a reduction in delinquencies in the last month of the quarter, due to the increase in the expectations of employment and to the increase in income, whereas for Corporate clients, there was a strong reduction in the growth pace of delinquencies, as a result of the gradual improvement in the overall level of activities. Bradesco ended 3Q09 with a delinquency ratio for loans of nearly 5.0%, tending to improve.



 
Coverage Ratio 
 

The R$14,953 million balance of PLL on September 30, 2009, is comprised of R$11,962 million of provisions required by the Brazilian Central Bank and R$2,991 million of excess provisions.

In the graph below, we present the coverage ratio of the Provision for Loan Losses related to loans overdue for more than 90 days. In September 2009, the ratio stood at 166.5%, ensuring comfortable provisioning level.

Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Savings Bonds 
 

The Net Income in the 3Q09 totaled R$607 million (2Q09 – R$638 million), reaching an annualized return of 27.3% on Shareholders’ Equity.

The Net Income for 9M09 was R$1.895 billion (9M08 - R$2.098 billion), with a 26.7% annual return on Shareholders’ Equity.


(1) Excluding additional provisions.

In 3Q09, revenues posted a 9.7% growth, above the 9% average presented by the market (as of August). Net Income was negatively impacted by the increase in claims of 3.9 points, especially in the health segment (3.2 points), influenced by higher and more severe events in the period, related to the higher use of post-employment benefits and the influenza A virus subtype H1N1.

Concerned with risk growth and economic principles, in 3Q09 Bradesco Vida e Previdência implemented the strengthening technical provisions and adopted the real interest rate (PDA) of 4% p.a., against the previous 4.3% rate used up to 2Q09, in the calculation of provision for insufficient contribution (PIC) and provision for administrative expenses (PDA).

When comparing 9M09 and 9M08, Bradesco’s Insurance Group posted an 8% growth in revenues and presented improved performance in financial income. However, despite the positive aspects presented, the result decreased by R$203 million y-o-y, influenced, in addition to the abovementioned issues, by the increase in the social contribution rate from 9% to 15%.

Bradesco’s Insurance Group Net Income in August 2009 accounted for 40.9% of the net income of the entire Brazilian insurance market. (Source: Susep - Insurance Superintendence).

The Insurance Group’s technical provisions represented 32.3% of the insurance market in August 2009, according to Susep and ANS - National Supplementary Health Agency data.

In terms of solvency, Bradesco’s Insurance Group complies with Susep’s rules, which took effect as of January 1st, 2008 and is also adjusted to the international standards (Solvency II). The financial leverage ratio stood at 2.3 times its Shareholders’ Equity.

14


 
Fees and Commissions 
 

Fees and Commissions amounted to R$2,857 million in 3Q09, moving down by R$54 million in the q-o-q comparison. The good performance of income from loan operations, mainly by guarantees provided, as well as by asset management fees, contributed to offset the negative impact of: (i) the extinction of the registry renewal fee as of 3Q09; (ii) the drop of cards income, arising from the reduction from 39.3% to 26.6% of Bradesco’s stake in Visanet Brasil and; (iii) lower underwriting fees.

When comparing 9M09 and 9M08, the 5.5% growth was a result of the good performance of the credit card segment and underwriting operations, in addition to the increase of business and client base, which went up by nearly 3.5% over the last 12 months, partially offsetting the losses originated from fees adjustment and by the performance of loans, mainly in 1H09, due to the economic slowdown.

15


 
Personnel Expenses 
 

In 3Q09, the R$218 million increase in the q-o-q comparison is composed by higher expenses in:

• “Structural Expenses” - in the amount of R$32 million, mainly due to the adjustment to increase salary levels according to the collective bargaining agreement (6.0%) and the restatement of labor liabilities, offset by higher accumulated vacations of employees in the 3Q09; and

• “Non-Structural Expenses” - in the amount of R$186 million related to higher profit sharing (PLR), expenses with employment contract terminations and provisions for labor claims.

When comparing 9M09 and 9M08, the R$428 million increase is basically explained by:

• The R$403 million rise in “Structural Expenses”, due to wage increase (2008 bargaining agreement – 8.15% to 10% and 2009 – 6.0%) and benefits; and

• the increase of R$25 million in the “Non-Structural Expenses”, basically due to higher expenses with provisions for labor claims and training.


Note: Structural Expenses = Compensation + Social Taxes + Benefits + Private Pension.
Non-Structural Expenses = Employee Profit Sharing (PLR) + Training + Labor Provision + Employment Contract Termination Expenses.

16


 
Administrative Expenses 
 

Administrative Expenses moved up by 5.6% in the q-o-q comparison, mainly due to the increases of items: (i) third-party services expenses; (ii) advertising and marketing expenses; and (iii) transportation expenses.

When compared to 9M08, the increase is mainly due to the expansion of the Distribution Network and higher business volumes.

 
Tax Expenses 
 

Tax Expenses posted a R$24 million variation in view of the increase of the taxable income in 3Q09, especially relative to net interest income.

The R$109 million variation, referring to 9M09 vis-à-vis 9M08, arises from the increase in expenses with PIS/Cofins due to the taxable income from net interest income increase and also the contribution of fees and commissions in the period.


17


 
Other Operating Income and Expenses 
 

Other Operating Expenses, net of Other Operating Income, posted a variation of R$229 million q-o-q, mainly due to higher provisions for contingency, mainly those related to economic plans, for which provisions in the amount of R$387 million were recorded in 3Q09.

In the y-o-y comparison, the R$1,166 million increase basically results from higher operating provisions, mostly referring to provisions for contingencies related to economic plans.


 
Non-Operating Income 
 

In 3Q09, Non-Operating Income totaled R$473 million, a 76.7% drop q-o-q, due to the gain in 2Q09 with the partial sale of Visanet Brasil, in the amount of R$2 billion, offset by the gain related to the sale of the supplementary lot of Visanet Brasil shares (green shoe) in the amount of R$410 million. In the 9M09 – 9M08 comparison (disregarding Visanet Brasil effects), the balance remained stable around R$170 million.

18


 
Income Tax and Social Contribution 
 

The R$258 million increase in 3Q09 in relation to the previous quarter reflects tax charges over earnings before taxes, adjusted by respective additions and exclusions.

One can observe that the average rate (calculated considering the earnings before income tax and social contribution less equity in the earnings (losses) of unconsolidated companies and interest on shareholders’ capital) is close to the effective tax rate of 34%.

When comparing 9M09 and 9M08, taxes and contributions went down by 1.4% .

Tax credits originated in previous periods, deriving from the increase in the CSLL tax rate to 15%, are recorded in the consolidated financial statements up to the limit of corresponding consolidated tax liabilities. The balance of not activated fiscal credits stands at R$772 million. Further details may be obtained in the Footnote n° 34 of the Financial Statements.


 
Unrealized Gains 
 

Unrealized gains reached R$10,162 million in 3Q09, an R$1,508 million jump in relation to the previous quarter. The positive variation is mainly due to: (i) the appreciation in the mark-to-market of securities, offset by: (ii) the divestment of the supplementary lot (Green Shoe) of Visanet Brasil in 3Q09.


19


 
Economic Scenario 
 

Over the second and third quarters, the signs of global upturn continued to accumulate, reinforcing the perception that the worst moment of the crisis had been overcome. However, there are still material differences among the countries regarding the speed of their economic upturn, which is higher in developing nations. These differences have generated significant impacts over exchange markets, while at the same time they have kept volatility potential in the prices of most financial assets. Within this international scenario, it is still necessary to be cautious when performing analysis, since risk perception is still present, in lower intensity quarter-on-quarter though.

On the other hand, Brazilian economy strengthens its position as one of the first economies to overcome recession, benefitted from credit growth, tax incentives, interest rate drop, employment recovery and maintenance of annual wages growth in high levels. After the 4.3% accumulated drawback between 4Q08 and 1Q09, the GDP grew 1.9 p.p. between April and June, vis-a-vis the immediately previous quarter. 3Q09 information disclosed suggests an additional decrease in industry idleness, signaling another strong growth period, but without significant pressures that may jeopardize inflation in 2009.

Simultaneously, families’ consumption of goods and services is growing favorably, as opposite to what happened in past crisis. Therefore, our economic growth projection is more optimistic. We expect Brazil to grow 0.1% this year and 5.4% in 2010. If confirmed, these results will be among the highest results worldwide, strengthening the international communities’ positive perceptions towards Brazil. For the long-term, in line with the country’s real potentialities, perspectives are increasingly positive, especially for the investment cycle that shall supply the needs arising from the World Cup, the Olympic Games and the pre-salt project. Challenges are enormous but it is possible to lead them in a satisfactory manner.

Bradesco reiterates its positive and constructive view towards Brazil and is aware of the opportunities created by a society with high social mobility and whose private sector is increasingly stronger and prepared to face the after-crisis challenges. Therefore, Bradesco still defends the need for institutional and educational advances that would increase social and economic gains obtained in past years, which can be translated into higher economic growth.
