Adjusted Net Income and Profitability

 

The return on the Average Adjusted Shareholder’s Equity (ROAE) stood at 20.5% in December 2015. Such performance stems from the growth of adjusted net income, which increased by 0.6% quarter-over-quarter and 16.4%, in the year-over-year comparison. The main events that affected adjusted net income are detailed below.

Adjusted net income reached R$4,562 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, up R$29 million or 0.6% compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to (i) the increment of the “interest” and "non-interest" earning portion; (ii) higher fee and commission income, result of the enhanced segmentation of clients and of investment in technology to enable new strategies of customer service; (iii) the highest operating result of Insurance, Pension Plans and Capitalization Bonds, net of technical reserves, retained claims and others; and impacted, partly, by higher: (iv) administrative expenses; (v) cost of the provision for doubtful accounts; and (vi) tax expenses.

In the financial year of 2015, the adjusted net income reached R$17,873 million, increase of R$2,514 million, or 16.4%, compared to the previous year, which reflects the highest revenues due to: (i) the interest earning portion, partially due to the effect the margin of intermediation and of the assets and liabilities management (ALM); and (ii) fees and commissions; being partially offset by: (iii) higher allowance for loan losses expenses; (iv) higher personnel and administrative expenses, whose variation was below the index of inflation (IPCA) in the period; (v) increased operating expenses, net; and (vi) higher tax expenses.

Shareholders’ Equity totaled R$88,907 million in December 2015, up 9.1% over December 2014. Basel III Ratio, calculated based on the Prudential Consolidated, stood at 16.8%, 12.7% of which was classified as Common Equity / Tier I.

Total Assets registered R$1.080 trillion in December 2015, a 4.6% increase over December 2014, driven by the increased turnover. Return on Average Assets (ROAA) reached 1.7%.

Operating Efficiency Ratio (ER)
 

 

The 12-month accumulated ER(1) reached 37.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015, once again registering the best historical level, showing improvement of 0.4 p.p.in comparison to the previous quarter, and 1.7 p.p. in comparison to the same period of the previous year, whereby the main variations were due to: (i) the increase in the net interest income and fee and commission income; and (ii) the operational expenses performance, which have evolved below the inflation in the year. These factors also contributed to the improvement of the ER in the "risk adjusted" concept, reflecting the impact of the risk associated with loan operations(2), reached 46.5%.

It is important to mention that the ER performance reflects the strategy of sustainable growth, which includes, among others, the availability of appropriate products and services for clients through the segmentation of the base, the optimization of points of service, and the strict control of operating expenses, arising from the actions of the Efficiency Committee and of investments in Information Technology.

The quarterly ER, the indicator remained stable

(1)   ER = (Personnel Expenses – Employee Profit Sharing + Administrative Expenses) / (Net Interest Income + Fee and Commission Income + Income from Insurance + Equity in the Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Companies + Other Operating Income – Other Operating Expenses). If we considered the ratio between (i) total administrative costs (Personnel Expenses + Administrative Expenses + Other Operating Expenses + Tax Expenses not related to income generation + Insurance Sales Expenses); and (ii) net income generation of related taxes (not considering Insurance Claims and Sales Expenses), our ER accumulated in the last 12 months in the fourth quarter of 2015 would be 42.0%; and

(2)   Including ALL expenses, adjusted for discounts granted, loan recovery and sale of foreclosed assets, among others.

NII (Net Interest Income)

 

In the quarterly comparison, the R$777 million, or 5.7%, increase was, mainly, due to: (i) by the higher result obtained with the "interest" earning portion, to the value of R$671 million, with emphasis on "Credit Intermediation", a result of an improved management in investment resources and funding operations; and (ii) non-interest earning portion, in the amount of R$106 million.

In the year-over-year comparison, the net interest income increased by R$7,092 million, or 14.7%, mainly due to: (i) a higher interest earning portion income, in the amount of R$7,280 million, particularly in “Credit Intermediation” and “Securities/Other” and offset by: (ii) lower result obtained with non-interest earning portion, in the amount of R$188 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)(1)

In the fourth quarter of 2015, allowance for loan losses totaled R$4,192 million, registering an increase of 8.8% over the previous quarter due to the delinquency rate in the period, mainly resulting from the deceleration of economic activity. It is important to note that loan operations, as defined by Bacen, remained stable in the quarter.

In the year-over-year comparison, these expenses presented a variation of 19.9%, impacted, mainly by: (i) the effect of the alignment of the allowance level of certain operations with corporate clients; (ii) the higher delinquency rate in the period; and (iii) the increase in credit operations - Bacen concept, which presented an evolution of 5.9% in the last 12 months.

The worsening of delinquency rates was mitigated by the reinforcement of the loan assignment and monitoring policy and processes, quality of guarantees, as well as the improvement of the credit recovery processes.

Delinquency Ratio(1)

 
The total delinquency ratio, which refers to operations that are over 90 days past due, increased mainly due to the loan portfolio lower

pace of growth and the downturn in the economy. It is worth to mention the retraction of the delinquency ratio of the Corporations segment in the period, that partially offset, the effects of higher delinquency rate for the Individual and Micro, Small and Medium Sized Enterprises.

 

In the quarter, short-term delinquency, including operations past due between 15 and 90 days remained stable.

The increase in the Corporate segment was offset by the decrease in the Individuals segment.

Minimum Capital Required – Grupo Bradesco Seguros

According to CNSP Resolution No.321/15, corporations should have adjusted shareholder’s equity (ASE) equal to or higher than the minimum capital required (MCR). MCR is equivalent to the highest value between the base capital and the risk capital. For companies regulated by the ANS, Normative Resolution No.373/15 establishes that corporations should have adjusted shareholder’s equity (ASE) equal to or higher than the Solvency Margin.

The capital adjustment and management process is continuously monitored and aims to ensure that Grupo Bradesco Seguros keeps a solid capital

base to support the development of activities and cope with the risks in any market situation, in compliance with regulatory requirements and/or Corporate Governance principles. Companies must permanently maintain a capital compatible with the risks for their activities and operations, according to the characteristics and peculiarities of each company belonging to Grupo Bradesco Seguros, represented by adequate capital levels. Grupo Bradesco Seguros permanently observes the limits required by the respective regulatory entities. The Minimum Capital Required in November 2015 was R$8,200 billion.

Summarized Analysis of Adjusted Income
 

Fee and Commission Income

 

In the year-over-year comparison, the increase of R$2,750 million, or 12.4%, was mainly due to: (i) an increase of volume of operations, which are arising from the continuous investments in service channels and in technology; and (ii) advance of the process of segmentation of clients for a better offer of products and services. It must be noted that the lines that have most contributed to this result derived from: (i) the good performance of the cards activity, as a result of (a) the increase in the financial volume traded; and (b) the highest volume of transactions performed; (ii) an increase in the checking account income, mainly due to an improvement in the customer segmentation process; and evolution of revenue with: (iii) loan operations, especially income from collaterals; (iv) asset management; and (v) consortium management.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, fee and commission income totaled R$6,597 million, showing increase of R$217 million, or 3.4%, in comparison to the previous quarter, primarily due to the increase in the volume of business, with emphasis on the performance of revenues of: (i) cards; (ii) checking accounts; and (iii) underwriting.

 

Personnel Expenses

In the year-over-year comparison, the increase of R$732 million, or 5.2%, is mainly due to the structural portion due to the increase in expenses with payroll, social charges and benefits, impacted by higher salaries, in accordance with the 2014 and 2015 collective agreements.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the increase of R$42 million, or 1.1%, compared to the previous quarter is mainly composed by the structural portion due to: (i) lower number of employees on vacation in the previous quarter; and (ii) increased wage levels, according to collective agreement.

Note: Structural Expenses = Salaries + Social Charges + Benefits + Pension Plans.

Non-Structural Expenses = Employee and Management Profit Sharing + Training + Labor Provision + Costs with termination of employment contracts.

Summarized Analysis of Adjusted Income
 

Administrative Expenses

 

In the year-over-year comparison the 10.0%, or R$1,491 million increase was primarily due to an increase of expenses originated: (i) by the growth in turnover and services in the period; (ii) by contractual adjustments; and (iii) by the dollar performance over the past 12 months since it reached 47.0% of recovery against the Brazilian real. It is important to stress that, the continuous control of operating expenses resulting from actions of the Efficiency Committee, whose efficiency initiatives resulted in a rebalance among personnel and administrative expenses.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the increase of 8.9%, or R$374 million, in the administrative expenses over the previous quarter, was mainly due to: (i) to the seasonal effect of higher expenses with advertising and marketing, due to the higher concentration of actions related to the Institutional Campaign and to support the offer of products and services; (ii) the growth in turnover and services occurred in the period, consequently, impacting in higher expenses with: (a) outsourced services;

(b) data processing; and (c) financial system services; and higher expenses with: (iii) depreciation and amortization; and (iv) rental.

(1)   The decrease as of March 2015 is related to: (i) the migration of “External ATM Network – Bradesco” to “Banco24Horas Network”; (ii) the deactivation of ATMs from “Banco24Horas Network”; and (iii) the decrease of Bradesco Expresso correspondents.

Other Operating Income and Expenses


In the financial year of 2015, other operating expenses, net, totaled R$6,708 million, a R$1,313 million increase over the financial year of 2014, primarily due to: (i) the constitution of tax provisions, in the first semester of 2015, relating to the levy of pension plan contributions and IRPJ/CSLL on credit losses, in the amount of R$570 million; (ii) higher expenses related to: (a) the constitution of civil provisions; and (b) various losses; (iii) the impact of the creation of a services joint venture (Cateno) in Cielo; and (iv) the amortization of goodwill.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, other net operating expenses totaled R$1,586 million, remaining stable over the previous quarter.

Income Tax and Social Contribution

 

 

Income tax and social contribution expenses, in the quarterly comparison showed an increase of 2.8%, or R$59 million, reflecting, in part: (i) the increase of the CSLL (social contribution) rate; and was partially offset by: (ii) the increase of the TJLP (from 6.5% in the third quarter of 2015 to 7.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015), which provided a greater constitution of interest on own capital, in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In the year-over-year comparison, the increase of 5.5%, or R$464 million, is related: (i) to the greater taxable income in the period; (ii) the increase of the CSLL (social contribution) rate; partially offset by the: (iii) increase of the TJLP (from an average rate of 5.0% in 2014 to an average rate of 6.3% in 2015), which provided a greater constitution of interest on own capital, comparing the financial year of 2015 to the financial year of 2014.

 

Unrealized Gains

Unrealized gains totaled R$7,100 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, a R$3,018 million decrease over the end of the previous quarter. Such variation was mainly due to: (i) the devaluation of the investments, mainly impacted, by Cielo shares which devalued 8.4%; and (ii) by the increase of unrealized loss in loans and leasing operations, impacted by the interest rate increase.

Capital Ratios - Basel III
 

Basel Ratio

 

In December 2015, the Capital stood at R$102,825 million, against risk-weighted assets totaling R$612,217 million. The total Basel Ratio presented an increase of 2.3 p.p., from 14.5% in September 2015 to 16.8% in December 2015, and the Common Equity from 11.4% in September 2015 to 12.7% in December 2015.

In the table below are the main events that impacted the Tier I Capital / Principal Capital Index in the quarter:

Additionally, it is important to stress that in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Central Bank authorized the use of Subordinated Letters of Credit to compose Tier II, whose restated amount reached R$5,805 million on December 31, 2015.

 

Full Impact – Basel III

We included a Basel III simulation, considering some of the main future adjustments, which include: (i) the application of 100% of the deductions provided in the implementation schedule; (ii) the allocation of resources, obtained via payment of dividends, of our Insurance Group; (iii) the use of tax credits; and (iv) the impact of the acquisition of HSBC, for a rate of 10.3% of Common Equity, which, added to funding obtained via subordinated debt, may amount to an approximate Tier I Basel Ratio of 11.8%, in the end of 2018.

Capital Management Buffer / Return on Tier I Capital

Bradesco has improved its measurement and governance methodology, and has structured processes for buffer capital, so that it can maintain adequate capital levels to cope with the risks incurred.

The Organization considers it feasible, in the medium and long term, to maintain a margin of Level of Tier I Capital of at least 25%, in relation to the minimum capital buffer, observing the schedule established by the Central Bank, for the full adoption of the Basel III guidelines. Considering the 11% minimum required to Common Equity according to the full interpretation of Basel III rules, profitability would be 27.4% in the period of 12 months ended in December 2015.

Press Release  
 
Economic Scenario
 

 

The confirmation of the initial monetary standardization in the United States reduced the uncertainties in the world scenario in the fourth quarter of 2015. The persistent strengthening of the North American labor market led the Federal Reserve (Fed) to increase the interest rate in its last meeting of the year – decision that was already being widely signaled. At the same time, the stabilization of the Chinese stock and exchange markets favored the perception of risk in the international markets.

Even so, the deceleration of the Chinese economy was not interrupted, which contributed to maintain the international prices of commodities at a lower level. Additionally, this country has adopted new stimuli to the economy in the period, in an attempt to contain the weakening of the economic activity. Finally, the European Central Bank, also with the aim of stimulating the growth of the region and combat the deflationary risks, extended its program for the purchase of sovereign bonds.

The domestic economy maintained a trajectory of deceleration in the fourth quarter, albeit at a slower speed to the one recorded in previous periods. Highlight for the further weakening of the labor market and the continued drop in confidence of the economic agents. On the other hand, the adjustments in the external accounts continued and the rebalance of administered prices in relation to the free ones and of domestic against the external prices did as well.

This behavior of activity, in turn, impacted negatively the collection of the public sector and the fiscal results, leading the government to continually review its goals of primary balance for 2015 and 2016. Thus, actions to ensure fiscal sustainability in the medium term and the progress on the reform agenda become even more relevant. Efforts in this direction are a necessary condition to maintain the economic predictability and to increase the level of trust of families and entrepreneurs, enabling the resumption of the trend to increase actual income and productive investments.

Additional actions of a structural nature that leverage the future growth are also fundamental. The constant search for excellence in education is Brazil’s front line in its struggle to become more competitive and to expedite its efforts to upgrade infrastructure. It is never too much to remember that, in the long term, the main source of economic growth is productivity, a theme that is even more relevant in a global context characterized by increased competition and economic growth that is still fragile.

The investments tend to have an increasingly important role in the composition of growth in coming years, especially in the process of recovery of the economic activity. This should still be favored by greater participation of the capital market in the financing of these projects. At the same time, despite the cyclical retraction of the consumer market in some segments, structurally the potential of domestic demand for goods and services is not exhausted and there is still much to be exploited.

Bradesco maintains a positive outlook towards Brazil, with favorable perspectives for its operating segments. Credit volume is growing at sustainable and risk-compatible rates, whereas delinquency rates are stabilized at historically controlled levels, in spite of a cyclic elevation due to the retraction of the activity and the reduction of the employment level this year. The scenario is still promising for Brazilian banking and insurance sectors in the medium and long term.
