(b) IRB: In 2014, due to effect of the favorable decision on the increase of the PIS/COFINS tax calculation basis of IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A. and, in 2013, as a result of the effect of the change in the criteria for the recognition of our investment since we have reached a level of significant influence on the decisions of this legal entity.

 

(c) Complementary Allowance for Loan Losses: Recognition of an additional allowance to the minimum required by Resolution No. 2,682/99 of the National Monetary Council, in view of a lower economic growth scenario that could affect specific sectors.

 

(d) Goodwill Amortization: Amortization of goodwill generated by the acquisition of Credicard and BMG Seguradora S.A.

 

(e) Provision for Contingencies: In 2014, related to provision for losses arising from economic plans that were in effect in Brazil in the 1980's.

 

(f) Improvement of Labor Claim Provision Model: Resulting from changes for the improvement of our model for the recognition of provisions for own and third parties’ labor claims.

(j) Realization of Assets and Impairment: In 2014 and 2013, this item was mainly composed of the impairment of assets.

 

Managerial Income Statement

 

Since the first quarter of 2013, we have been applying the consolidation criteria for the managerial results that affect only the breakdown of accounts and, therefore, do not affect net income. These effects are shown in the table on the following page ("Reconciliation between the Accounting and Managerial Statements").

 

Additionally, we have been adjusting the tax effects of the hedges of investments abroad - which were originally accounted for as tax expenses (PIS and COFINS) and income tax and social contribution on net income and were reclassified to the financial margin - and the non-recurring effects. Our strategy for the foreign exchange risk management of the capital invested abroad is aimed at mitigating, through financial instruments, the effects resulting from foreign exchange variations and takes into consideration the impact of all tax effects. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Brazilian real depreciated 8.4% against the U.S. dollar and 4.3% against the Euro, compared with a depreciation of 11.3% and 2.7%, respectively, in the previous quarter.

 

Highlights

 

This quarter, we started to include a new disclosure in our results from insurance operations, contemplating the results of the insurance, pension plan and premium bonds businesses separated into "Core Activities” and “Other Activities”.   

 

This new disclosure contributes to the analysis of the performance and profitability of our insurance business value drivers, evidencing our operation strategy focused on the sale of mass-market products for individuals and property insurance products, which are typically related to retail banking. For further details, please refer to page 56 of this report.

Executive Summary

 

Net Income

 

 

The recurring net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 amounted to R$5,660 million, representing an increase of 3.7% from the previous quarter and a 20.9% increase from the same period of the previous year.

 

The increase in net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 when compared to the previous quarter is mainly due to increases of 3.0% in the financial margin with clients and of 4.1% in banking service fees and to a decrease of 1.8% in the result from loan losses. These improvements were partially offset by the increase of 3.7% in non-interest expenses.

 

In 2014, recurring net income totaled R$20,619 million, an increase of 30.2% from the previous year.

 

Return on Average Equity

 

 

The annualized recurring return on average equity remained at 24.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014. On December 31, 2014, stockholders’ equity totaled R$95.8 billion, a 5.6% increase when compared to the previous quarter and an 18.3% increase from the previous year.

Managerial Financial Margin

 

The managerial financial margin for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled R$14,705 million, an increase of R$336 million when compared to the third quarter of 2014, mainly due to the increase in our financial margin with clients by R$400 million, which was driven by the growth of interest-rate sensitive operations and by a R$64 million decrease in our financial margin with market when compared to the previous quarter.

 

 

Our managerial financial margin increased R$7,518 million when compared to 2013. This growth is due to the increase of R$5,866 million in the financial margin with clients and the increase of R$1,652 million in the financial margin with the market.

 

Managerial Financial Margin of Credit, net of the Allowance from Loan Losses

 

Our financial margin of credit, net of expenses for allowance for loan losses and recovery of credits, increased 4.7% from the third quarter of 2014 and 12.0% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.

In 2014, the result from loan losses, net of recovery, dropped 3.8%, or R$512 million, when compared to 2013 mainly due to the decrease of 2.7% (R$508 million) in expenses for the allowance for loan losses.

Managerial Financial Margin with Clients

 

The managerial financial margin with clients consists of revenues generated by the use of financial products by our clients, including both account and non-account holders.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the financial margin with clients totaled R$13,687 million, a 3.0% increase from the previous quarter. This increase, which corresponds to R$400 million, was mainly due to higher interest rate-sensitive operations margin and to higher loan operations volume.

 

For clarity purposes, we separate the financial margin in two different groups: financial margin of interest rate-sensitive operations, and financial margin of spread-sensitive operations.

 

Interest Rate-Sensitive Operations

 

The financial margin of interest rate-sensitive operations totaled R$1,970 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 17.9%, or R$299 million, from the previous period, mainly due to a higher balance of operations in Brazilian reais subject to the Brazilian benchmark rate (SELIC) and to a lower balance of operations in U.S. dollars, which consist of investments in U.S. Treasury Bonds.

 

In 2014, the increase in the SELIC rate positively impacted the financial margin of these operations, which grew R$1,642 million, or 34.3%, when compared to the previous year.

Average SELIC - Annualized Rate   10.9%   10.6%        30bps

  

 

Spread-Sensitive Operations

 

The financial margin of spread-sensitive operations amounted to R$11,717 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, corresponding to a 0.9%, or R$102 million, increase from the previous quarter.

 

The credit spread reached 11.0%, a decrease of 20 basis points when compared to the previous quarter. Excluding the effect of the foreign exchange variation, this indicator would have remained steady at 11.2%. The credit spread after provisions reached 7.9% in the quarter, stable when compared to the previous quarter.

 

The spread of other interest-bearing assets considered in this analysis reached 1.2%, 60 basis points lower than in the previous quarter, mainly due to the early termination of the agreement between Itaú Seguros S.A. and Via Varejo, which took place in the third quarter of 2014. The combined spread of spread-sensitive operations reached 9.6% in the current period.

Managerial Financial Margin with Market

 

The financial margin with the market consists of treasury transactions that include Asset and Liability Management (ALM) and proprietary trading operations.

 

The financial margin with the market in the fourth quarter of 2014 amounted to R$1,018 million, a decrease of R$64 million from the previous quarter, mainly due to lower structural positions result.

Complementary Aspects in Financial Margin with Clients Analysis

 

Variation in the Composition of Financial Margin with Clients

 

In order to demonstrate the effect of the changes in our financial margin, we segregated effects from volume of loan operations, mix of products, clients and spread, interest rate and other effects.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the 3.0% increase in our financial margin with clients was mainly due to the higher margin of interest rate-sensitive operations and to the higher loan balance, that were greater than the negative effect of products, clients and spreads mix.

 

 

Loan Portfolio by Origination Period (*)

 

The chart below shows the evolution of our loan portfolio, excluding sureties and endorsements, by origination period (vintages).

 

 

 

(*) Includes Credicard operations as of the third quarter of 2014.

 

As we have maintained the policy of greater selectivity in credit origination, the 200 bps increase in origination volume was mainly due to the increase in credit card and working capital portfolios that are seasonally higher in the last quarter of the year and to the higher payroll loan portfolio.

 

Additionally, given the term profile of our different credit products, new contract vintages have showed similar profiles over the past periods. On December 31, 2014, 62.9% of the loan portfolio were composed of vintages of 2014, 18.1% of 2013, 8.4% of 2012, 5.5 of 2011 and 5.0% of previous years.

 

Evolution of the Loan Portfolio Mix (excluding endorsements and sureties)

 

Our loan portfolio mix presented below highlights its major components and their share in the past quarters.

 

Loan Portfolio Mix – Companies

 

The proportion of credits to very small and small market companies, which have higher spreads, decreased in relation to credits to middle market and large companies in our loan portfolio mix, which can be seen in the chart below.

 

 

 

Loan Portfolio Mix – Individuals

 

The evolution of our loan portfolio mix for individuals in the same period shows the growth of the payroll loan and mortgage loan portfolios. The decreased share of the vehicle portfolio in our mix is a result of the nominal balance reduction of this portfolio.

 

 

 

We now present more information about Payroll loans, Mortgage loans and Vehicle Financing.

 

Payroll Loans

 

We operate in payroll loan market through two different distribution channels: directly through our own distribution network (branches, CSBs and electronic channels) and through Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A., a financial institution controlled by us that is aimed at offering, distributing and marketing payroll loans. This operation started in December 2012 and enables us to expand our business in this segment, under our values and transparency principles, following our good management practices and policies.

 

Evolution of the Payroll Loan Portfolio and NPL

 

At the end of December 2014, total payroll loans reached R$40,525 million, a 79.5% (R$17,947 million) increase in twelve months. Main drivers of this growth were the portfolio of loans to retirees and pensioners of the INSS and to public servants, which, together, increased 148% when compared to December 2013.

 

Payroll loans originated by the branch network totaled R$13,949 million on December 31, 2014, a 21.5% increase in twelve months, whereas payroll loans originated by other channels reached R$26,576 million, an increase of 139.5% when compared to December 31, 2013.

Our individual real estate loan portfolio collaterals are under the legal framework of fiduciary lien (alienação fiduciária) and account for 98.8% of the portfolio. Since 2007, we have been using this framework for 100% of our contracts.

 

Our new financing contracts use the Equal Amortization System, through which decreasing installments lead to faster balance amortization, reducing the loan-to-value ratio (ratio of the amount of the financing to the value of the real estate property) in a faster pace than other amortization systems.

 

The loan-to-value (LTV) of the portfolio reached 42.4% at the end of December, an increase of 290 basis points when compared to December 2013.

 

The average quarterly LTV of the originated vintages reached 59.6%, remaining unchanged when compared to the LTV of the vintages originated in the fourth quarter of 2013 and were 40 basis points down from the third quarter of 2014.

 

 

 

In the current period, the 90-day NPL of the vintages originated in June 2014 reached 0.20%, a drop of 4 basis points when compared to the vintages originated in December 2013 and an increase of 9 basis points when compared to June 2013.

The result from loan losses, net of credit recovery, totaled R$3,284 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of 1.8% when compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to lower expenses for allowance for loan losses, which totaled R$4,614 million in the period, a reduction of 2.7% in the quarter. Income from the recovery of loans written off as losses totaled R$1,330 million, down 4.8% from the previous quarter.

 

In 2014, the result from loan losses showed a reduction of 3.8% mainly due to the lower expenses for allowance for loan losses driven by the improvement of our portfolio credit profile in addition to the growth of the income from the recovery of loans written off as losses.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Portfolio

 

 

In December 2014, the balance of the loan portfolio without endorsements and sureties increased R$22,929 million (5.3%) when compared to September 2014, totaling R$451,760 million, mainly impacted by the increase in the credit card, payroll loan and corporate portfolios.

 

The balance of the allowance for loan losses increased R$1,690 million (6.7%) in the quarter, reaching R$26,948 million.

 

There was the recognition of R$ 1,113 million in additional allowance to the minimum required by Resolution No. 2,682/99 of the National Monetary Council, totaling R$6,330 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, in view of lower economic growth scenario that could affect specific economic sectors.

 

This balance includes the provisions recognized for endorsements and sureties, which totaled R$231 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.

NPL Ratio | over 90 days

 

 

The NPL ratio of credits overdue for more than 90 days (NPL-90) decreased 10 and 60 basis points from the previous quarter and the fourth quarter of 2013, respectively, reaching 3.1% of our loan portfolio in the period. Once again, this ratio reached the lowest level since the merger of Itaú and Unibanco, mainly due to the change in the credit profile of our portfolio.

 

The reduction of the ratio was due to the decrease of 30 and 110 basis points for individuals when compared to the previous quarter and to the same period of the previous year, respectively. If we excluded the impact of the foreign exchange variation on the loan portfolio in the period, the 90-day NPL for individuals would have dropped 20 basis points when compared with the previous quarter.

 

For companies this ratio remained steady when compared to the previous quarter due to the decrease in its level for very small, small and middle market companies, offset by the increased level for large companies, which was influenced by specific groups. The foreign exchange variation in the period did not significantly affect the ratio for companies.

 

NPL Ratio | 15 to 90 days

 

 

Short-term delinquency, measured based on the balance of the operations that are overdue from 15 to 90 days, has remained at the lowest level since the merger of Itaú and Unibanco. In December 2014, this ratio decreased 10 basis points from the previous quarter. The reduction of the ratio was due to the decrease of 40 basis points for individuals, which was partially offset by an increase of 20 basis points in the ratio for companies.

 

If we excluded the impact of the foreign exchange variation on the loan portfolio in the period, the short-term delinquency ratio for individuals would have decreased 30 basis points when compared to the previous quarter. The ratio for companies, however, was not significantly affected by the foreign exchange variation.

 

In the 12-month period, the short-term delinquency ratio decreased 50 basis points, mainly due to the decrease of 90 basis points in the individuals ratio.

 

NPL Ratio by Activity

 

For companies, the NPL ratio of credits overdue for more than 90 days reached 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the ratios for industry and commerce, services and the primary sectors reached 2.1%, 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively. For further information on the NPL Ratios by Activity please refer to the Risk Management Report required by Circular No. 3,678 of the Brazilian Central Bank of October 31, 2013, which is available in our Investor Relations website.

The 90-day coverage ratio reached 193% in December 2014, an increase of 120 basis points from the previous quarter. If we exclude the effect of the additional provision (R$1,113 million) recognize in December 2014, the coverage ratio would have increased 400 basis points to 185%.

 

Loan Portfolio Write-Offs

 

(1) Loan portfolio average balance from two previous quarters.

 

Write-offs from the loan portfolio totaled R$4,060 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of R$33 million when compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to the vehicle portfolio. When compared to the same period of the previous year, write-offs decreased R$749 million due to the improvement of the quality of the new vintage portfolio.

 

The ratio of written-off operations to the average balance of the loan portfolio reached 0.9% in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of 10 basis points when compared to the previous quarter.

Recovery of Loans

 

 

Income from the recovery of loans written off as losses decreased R$68 million (4.8%) when compared to the previous quarter.

 

Loan Portfolio by Risk Level

 

Our credit risk management is aimed at maintaining the quality of the loan portfolio at appropriate levels for each market segment in which we operate. The increase in the concentration of credits rated "AA" to "C" in the period demonstrates the adequacy and consistency of the origination policy and the quality of the guarantees obtained in our operations.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the portfolio rated “A” increased due to the change in the mix of our loan portfolio following the acquisition of BMG’s payroll loan portfolio, which has a large concentration of “A” rated loans.

 

As a result of our strategy to focus on operations with lower risk and larger volume of guarantees, as of the second quarter of 2013 we improved the guarantee control system (vehicles, mortgage loans, financial investments, among others) to capture the updated market value for each of these individual operations. As a consequence, operations with guarantees, where the updated amount of which exceeds the debt balance, are now classified at better risk levels. On the other hand, operations with guarantees where the updated amount is insufficient to mitigate the entire risk are now classified at worse risk levels.

 

Evolution of Loan Portfolio by Risk Level

 

On December 31, 2014, the share of loans to individuals rated “AA” to “C” in the total portfolio was 92.7%, an increase of 20 basis points when compared to the previous quarter.

Risk-Adjusted Efficiency Ratio

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio in the full criteria (includes all expenses, claims and selling expenses from insurance), reached 63.0%, a 230-basis-point increase from the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily driven by the 14.4% increase in the financial margin with clients and by the 13.1% increase in banking service fees and income from banking, which were higher than the 8.1% increase in non-interest expenses.

 

When compared to the third quarter of 2014, the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio improved 200 basis points mainly due to the 2.3% increase in our managerial financial margin, 1.8% decrease in result from loan losses and 3.7% increase in non-interest expenses.

 

In the 12-month period, the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio reached 64.3%, down 520 basis points from the same period of the previous year. This ratio has improved for eight consecutive quarters and reached the lowest level since the merger of Itaú and Unibanco.

 

Efficiency Ratio

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the efficiency ratio reached 46.2%, an increase of 70 basis points when compared to the third quarter of 2014.This increase was mainly due to the increase in non-interest expenses.

 

For the last 12 months, the efficiency ratio reached 46.6%, a decrease of 60 basis points from the previous quarter. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2013, this ratio improved 190 basis points.

Individual loans portfolio grew 5.1% when compared to the last quarter, reaching R$201,760 million on December 31, 2014. The change in this portfolio is mainly due to the increase of 9.3% in the credit card portfolio, which reached R$59,321 million, of 11.2% in payroll loans, which reached R$40,525 million, of 4.8% in mortgage loans, which reached R$28,898 million and of 12.8% in the individuals portfolio – Latin America, totaling R$15,823 million. These increases were partially offset by the 7.6% decrease in the vehicle portfolio.

 

Companies loan portfolio grew 5.6% in the quarter, totaling R$250,000 million. The changes in this portfolio were driven by the increase in working capital of 5.6%, which reached R$116,785 million, in export/import financing of 9.5%, which reached R$31,460 million and in the companies portfolio – Latin America of 12.2%, to R$25,851 million.

 

Excluding the effect of the foreign exchange variation, the growth of the total loan portfolio, without endorsements and sureties, would have been 3.4% when compared to the previous quarter.

 

Taking into account our corporate securities portfolio and the balance of endorsements and sureties, total risk amounted to R$559,694 million, a growth of 4.4% when compared to September 30, 2014, and of 9.8% when compared to December 31, 2013.

Credit Concentration

 

Our loan, lease and other loan operations, including endorsements and sureties, are spread over our loan portfolio in a way that only 22.6% of the credit risk was concentrated on the 100 largest debtors at the end of December 2014. The credit concentration of the 100 largest debtors (group consolidated) is as follows:

 

           R$ millions 
   Dec/14

100 Largest Debtor   118,679    22.6    9.8 

 

Renegotiation Loan Operations

 

According to the rules of CMN Resolution No. 2,682/99, balances of all contracts that have had changes to their original contractual terms should be reported as renegotiated loans. To allow better understanding, we segregate renegotiated loans into those that had changes in the original contractual terms only, but were not overdue or were overdue for less than 30 days, and those that had credits effectively renegotiated, as shown below:

 

           R$ millions 
    Portfolio    LLP    % 
Amended Credits Agreements   16,601    (6,818)   41.1%
Amended Operations non-overdue   (5,030)   973    19.4%
Renegotiated Loans Operations   11,572    (5,845)   50.5%

 

Further information on Note 8-d of our financial statements.

  

On December 31, 2014, the portfolio of renegotiated loan operations reached R$11,572 million, with a decrease of R$649 million in the quarter, representing 2.6% of our loan portfolio (a decrease of 20 basis points from the previous quarter). At the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to the renegotiated portfolio reached 50.5%. The following chart presents this changes:

 

 

 

The portfolio of renegotiated loan operations includes all operations under renegotiation, either overdue or those already written off as losses. In the case of write-offs, we recognize a provision for the total amount renegotiations (not generating an immediate result) that is reversed only when there is a strong indication of the recovery of this credit (after payments are received on a regular basis for a few months).

 

The balance of 90-day non-performing loans (NPL 90) in the renegotiated portfolio reached R$2,790 million, which caused the 90-day NPL ratio to reach 24.1%. The allowance for loan losses coverage ratio of this portfolio was 210% on December 31, 2014. The portfolio of over 90-day non-performing loans presented in the report also includes the NPL on renegotiated credits.

 

Other Assets and Permanent Assets

 

The “other assets” item comprises foreign exchange portfolio, tax credits, taxes and contributions for offset and escrow deposits. In the fourth quarter of 2014, “other assets” reached R$153.2 billion (a 2.0% increase from the previous quarter), mainly due to the increase in the foreign exchange transactions and credit card issuers arising from higher sales and volume of transactions in the period, due to year-end sales.

 

The tax credit balance reached R$38.7 billion (a decrease of 2.4% from the previous quarter), R$32.7 billion of which refers to temporary differences of provisions and R$6.0 billion refers to tax losses, social contribution tax loss carryforwards, and social contribution for offset. Our permanent assets, in the amount of R$19.9 billion, are represented by non-consolidated investments in Brazil and abroad, fixed assets and deferred charges. In this quarter, this category represented 1.6% of total assets and increased 7.5% when compared to the previous quarter.

(1) Includes funds from Real Estate, Mortgage, Financial, Credit and Similar Notes. (2) Does not include own issued debentures classified as funding. (3) Equity + Non-Controlling Interest – Permanent Assets.

 

On December 31, 2014, total funds from clients, including interbank deposits, amounted to R$1.3 trillion, corresponding to an increase of R$44,253 million from the third quarter of 2014. The main drivers were increases in funds obtained through assets under administration of R$22,269 million, in debentures of R$6,710 million, in savings deposits totaling R$4,774 million, and in demand deposits of R$4,138 million.

 

The debentures issued by leasing companies of the conglomerate, after being purchased by the bank (the Conglomerate’s leading company), are traded with the same characteristics as those of CDBs and other time deposits, although they are classified as deposits received under securities repurchase agreements. Therefore, these deposits are reclassified in the table above as deposits from account holders. In the fourth quarter of 2014, this type of funding totaled R$139,910 million, including institutional clients.

 

Funds from clients (1)

 

Total funds (working capital, raised and managed assets) amounted to R$1.7 trillion on December 31, 2014, an increase of R$65,045 million when compared to September 30, 2014, primarily driven by the combination of the increases in funds from clients, repurchase agreements borrowings and foreign exchange portfolio. In the 12-month period, we highlight the increase of R$90,946 million in funds obtained from clients, mainly due to the increase in funds obtained through investment funds and managed portfolios, in savings deposits, and in technical provisions for insurance, pension plan and premium bonds. Total funds (working capital, raised and managed assets) grew R$126,530 million.

Balance Sheet by Currency

 

We adopt a management policy for foreign exchange risk associated with our asset and liability positions that is primarily intended to mitigate impacts from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on consolidated results.

 

Brazilian tax legislation determines that gains and losses from exchange rate variation on permanent foreign investments must not be included in the tax basis. On the other hand, gains and losses from financial instruments used to hedge such asset positions are impacted by tax e3ects. Therefore, in order not to expose net income to foreign exchange rate variations, a liability position must be built at a higher volume than the hedged assets.

 

The Balance Sheet by Currency shows our assets and liabilities denominated in local and foreign currencies. On December 31, 2014, the net exchange position was a liability of US$10,157 million.

Risk Management

 

Corporate Principles of Risk and Capital Management

 

We regard risk management as an essential instrument for optimizing the use of resources and selecting the best business opportunities in order to create value to our stockholders.

 

Risk management encompasses the entire institution and is in line with the guidelines of the Board of Directors and Senior Management, which, through Committees and Superior Commissions, determine the overall goals, expressed as targets and limits for the risk management business units. Meanwhile, the control and capital management units support Itaú Unibanco’s management by means of monitoring processes and risk and capital analysis.

 

We adopt a prospective approach in relation to capital management, which comprises the following phases: identification and analysis of material risks, capital planning, stress test analysis focused on the impact of severe events on our capitalization level, maintenance of a contingency plan, internal capital adequacy assessment and preparation of periodic management reports.

 

For additional information on the risk and capital management structure, please refer to the Investor Relations website at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations >> Corporate Governance >> Risk Management – Pillar III.

 

Credit Risk

 

Our credit risk management is aimed at maintaining the quality of the loan portfolio at levels consistent with our risk appetite for each market segment in which we operate.

 

The credit risk control is centralized and carried out by an independent executive area responsible for risk control. The main responsibilities include monitoring and controlling the performance of loan portfolios, performing the centralized control of the credit risk, managing the process of development of institutional credit risk policies, monitoring the adequacy of the Referential Equity to the level of credit assumed. Itaú Unibanco’s centralized process for approving policies and validating models ensures the synchronization of credit actions.

 

Operational Risk

 

Our operational risk management structure is composed of operational risk management and control activities aimed at supporting the organization in decision-making processes, always in search of the proper identification and evaluation of risks, the creation of value for stockholders, as well as the protection of our assets and image.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the possibility that we fail to efficiently meet expected and unexpected current and future obligations, including those arising from guarantees, without affecting our daily operations and incurring significant losses.

 

The liquidity risk measurement comprises all financial operations of our companies, as well as possible contingent or unexpected exposures, such as those arising from settlement services, provision of endorsements and sureties and lines of credit raised but not used.

 

Market Risk

 

Our market risk management strategy is aimed at balancing corporate business goals, taking into account political, economic and market conditions, the market risk portfolio of the institution and the expertise to operate in specific markets, among other aspects.

 

Market risk is controlled by a department that is independent from the business units and is responsible for carrying out, on a daily basis, risk measurement activities, assessment, analysis and reporting to the proper departments and persons, in normal and stress situations, in accordance to the established governance , as well as monitoring the necessary procedures to adjust the position and/or risk level, when applicable. To this end, Itaú Unibanco has a structured communication and information process that provides feedback for the monitoring of the Superior Committees and compliance with the requirements of Brazilian and foreign regulatory bodies.

 

VaR of Itaú Unibanco

 

Itaú Unibanco changed its methodology for calculating the Consolidated VaR by migrating from the Parametric approach to the “Historical Simulation” approach (except for the Foreign Units). This new methodology fully reprices the positions using the real historical distribution of the volatilities.

 

The market risk exposure of Itaú Unibanco portfolio and its foreign subsidiaries is presented in the VaR by Risk Factor Group table below, which shows where the larger concentrations of market risk are. This quarter, we maintained our conservative management approach and diversified portfolio, keeping our policy of operating within lower limits in relation to our capital.

 

The increase in the VaR when compared to the previous quarter is due to the increase in market volatility which added to the changes in positions result in a change in the correlation effects of the portfolio.

During 2013, the Brazilian Central Bank issued a set of resolutions and instructions that outlined the implementation of Basel III global capital requirement in Brazil. These new rules determine that as of 2014 the minimum capital requirement must be calculated using a single consolidation center, the Financial Conglomerate.

 

Referential Equity | Financial Conglomerate

 

On December 31, 2014, our Referential Equity reached R$129,790 million, an increase of R$5,066 million when compared to September 30, 2014. The increase was mainly driven by a higher Tier I Capital.

 

Tier I Capital reached R$96,232 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, R$5,062 million higher than on September 30, 2014. Tier II Capital remained practically unchanged when compared to September 30, 2014, reaching R$33,559 million at the end of this quarter.

 

Taking into consideration our current capital base, and fully applying Basel III rules established by the Brazilian Central Bank in full now, we estimate that our core capital (Common Equity Tier I) would be 11.5% on December 31, 2014, taking into consideration some mitigating actions that are in progress and the use of the full tax loss carry forward balance. This scenario is presented in the following chart.

 

Estimated Core Capital Ratio (Common Equity Tier I)

 

1 Replacement of the Financial Conglomerate balance by the Prudential one.

2 Includes deductions of Goodwill, Intangible Assets, Tax Loss Carryforwards, Deferred Tax Assets, Equity Investments in Insurance and similar companies. Also includes the increase of the multiplier of the market risk, operational risk and certain credit risk accounts. This multiplier, which is at 9.09 nowadays, will increase to 12.5 in 2019.

3 Does not include any reversal of the complementary portion of the loan loss provisions.

 

Solvency Ratios | Financial Conglomerate

 

On December 31, 2014, our BIS ratio reached 16.9%, an increase of 30 basis points from September 30, 2014. The increase in the quarter was mainly driven by a higher net income, which resulted in a growth of 4.1% in the Referential Equity (Tier I and Tier II), and from a lower increase in the total exposure of Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA), which was 2.2% higher than in September 30, 2014.

 

Our BIS ratio exceeds the minimum 11% required by the Brazilian Central Bank and represents an excess capital of R$45.3 billion, allowing up to R$411.8 billion increase in credit assets based on 100% risk-weighting.

On December 31, 2014, our risk-weighted assets amounted to R$768,075 million, an increase of R$16,627 million when compared to September 30, 2014.

 

The credit risk exposure of our risk-weighted assets (RWACPAD) reached R$706,081 million on December 31, 2014, an increase of 2.7% when compared to the previous quarter, primarily driven by the growth of the loan portfolio.

 

The operational risk-weighted assets (RWAOPAD) remained at R$36,817 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014. The RWAOPAD are determined every six months, according to Circulars No. 3,640 and No. 3,675 of the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

Evolution of the Composition of the Risk Weighted Exposure

 

 

The market risk-weighted assets totaled R$25,176 million, R$1,672 million lower than in the third quarter of 2014, mainly due to the drop of R$2,288 million in the portion required for operations subject to interest rate variation (RWAJUR) and to the R$494 million drop in the portion required for operations subject to stock price variation. These drops in the RWAJUR were partially offset by a R$1,159 million increase in the portion required for operations subject to foreign exchange variation (RWACAM).

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the annualized recurring return on average assets remained at 1.9%. The ratio of the weighted exposure by credit, operational and market risks to the average total assets reached 64.2%, compared to 66.1% in the previous period.

 

As a consequence, the risk-adjusted ROA, which includes the return and total assets weighted by capital allocation needs, was 3.0% in the current quarter, an increase of 10 basis points from the third quarter of 2014.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the risk-weighted leverage was 5.9, down 10 basis points from the previous quarter, mainly due to the higher Referential Equity in the current period.

Segment Analysis

 

Pro Forma Adjustments

 

Adjustments made to the balance sheet and income statement for the year are based on managerial information from the business units.

 

The financial statements were adjusted in order to replace the accounting stockholders’ equity with funding at market prices. Subsequently, the financial statements were adjusted in order to include revenues linked to allocated capital at each segment. The cost of subordinated debt and the respective remuneration at market prices were allocated to segments on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the economic allocated capital.

 

As of the first quarter of 2013, we changed the presentation of our segments so it became more aligned with the way we follow the results evolution. There have also been changes in nomenclature in order to adapt it to our current structure: (a) Commercial Banking - Retail, (b) Consumer Credit - Retail, (c) Wholesale Banking and (d) Activities with the Market + Corporation. The results of the middle market companies, previously allocated in the former Commercial Banking segment, are now reported in the Wholesale Banking segment.

 

The Activities with the Market + Corporation column presents the result from excess capital, excess subordinated debt and the net balance of tax assets and liabilities. It also shows the financial margin on market transactions, costs of Treasury operations, equity earnings of companies that are not linked to any segment and our interest in Porto Seguro.

 

Allocated Capital

 

Impacts related to capital allocation are considered in the Pro Forma financial statements by segment. To this end, adjustments were made to the financial statements, using a proprietary model.

 

The economic allocated capital model (EAC) was adopted for the Pro Forma financial statements by segment, which considers, in addition to Tier I allocated capital, the allocated Tier II capital (Subordinated Debt) and the effects of the calculation of expected credit losses, in addition to that required by the Brazilian Central BankCircular No. 2,682/99 of the CMN.

 

Accordingly, the allocated capital considers the following components: credit risk (including expected loss), operational risk, market risk and insurance underwriting risk.

 

Based on this capital measure, we determined the Risk Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC), which corresponds to an operational performance ratio consistently adjusted to the required capital needed to support the risks of the financial positions assumed, with a 25% safety margin.

 

Income Tax Rate

 

We consider the full income tax rate, net of the tax effect of the payment of interest on net equity, for the Commercial Banking - Retail, Consumer Credit - Retail, Wholesale Banking and Activities with the Market. The difference between the amount of income tax determined by segment and the amount of the effective income tax, as indicated in the consolidated financial statement, is allocated to the Activities with the Market + Corporation segment column.

Segment Analysis

 

Commercial Banking - Retail

 

The revenues from the Commercial Banking – Retail segment emanate from the offer of banking products and services to a diversified client base, including individuals and companies. The segment includes retail, high-income and high-net worth clients (private banking) and very small and small companies.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, recurring net income increased 3.5% from the previous quarter and totaled R$2,698 million. This increase was mainly due to a 14.5% decrease on loan and retained claim losses net of recovery, which totaled R$1,889 million in the quarter as a consequence of lower expenses for the allowance for loan losses and lower retained claims. In addition, operating revenues increased R$185 million, or 1.4%, explained by the increase of 5.6% in banking service fees and income from banking charges and of 1.7% in the financial margin.

 

The positive impacts mentioned above were partially offset by higher non-interest expenses, which increased 5.5% in the quarter to R$6.589 million.

 

The Commercial Banking – Retail segment’s annualized return on allocated capital reached 43.4% in the quarter. The risk-adjusted efficiency ratio reached 67.3%.

 

Loan Portfolio - Commercial Banking

 

The loan portfolio totaled R$160,689 million at the end of December 2014, increasing 7.8% when compared to September 30, 2014.

 

The coverage ratio for NPL over 90 days (with no additional allowance) reached 142% on December 31, 2014. If we included the additional allowance, the coverage ratio would have reached 177% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the segment recorded a recurring net income of R$909 million, a 14.5% increase when compared to the third quarter of 2014. The segment’s net income was positively impacted by (i) a 4.1% increase in operating revenues, which totaled R$4,668 million in the period and (ii) a 3.2% decrease in loan losses net of recovery, which totaled R$912 million in the last quarter of 2014.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, non-interest expenses totaled R$2,042 million, an increase of 2.9% when compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Credit Portfolio- Consumer Credit

 

On December 31, the loan portfolio totaled R$103,305 million, 3.5% higher than on September 30, 2014, primarily driven by the increase in the Banco Itaú BMG Consignado portfolio.

Wholesale Banking

 

The revenues from the Wholesale Banking segment emanate from products and services offered to middle market companies and activities of Itaú BBA, the unit responsible for commercial operations with large companies and for investment banking services.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, operating revenues amounted to R$3,960 million, a 3.8% increase from the previous quarter, mainly due to the increase of 5.9% in the financial margin which totaled R$2,878 million. Loans and retained claim losses, net of recovery, totaled R$1,006 million, an increase of 34.0% in the quarter, mainly due to the increase in the allowance for loan losses in specific groups. Non-interest expenses dropped 8.0% to R$ 1.179 million in the current period. Accordingly, the decrease in the Wholesale Banking net income was 1.8% when compared to the previous quarter, reaching R$1,042 million.

 

The return on allocated capital reached 17.0% for the year and the adjusted efficiency ratio was 58.4%.

Considering the additional allowance, the coverage ratio reached 344% in December 2014, an increase of 7,700 basis points from the previous period. This increase was due to the impact that lower economic growth could have on specific sectors.

Banking & Insurance Operations

 

We present below the financial statements and relevant financial indicators on the performance of our banking and insurance operations, which include the insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations. This information has been prepared based on managerial information generated by internal models for the purpose of more accurately reflecting the performance of these operations.

 

As of the first quarter of 2014, we started calculating our allocated capital based on the minimum capital required for the insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations plus a 25% safety margin. The capital includes the portions of underwriting, credit and operational risk. The historical data was reclassified for comparison purposes.

 

Highlights

 

We present below the main indicators of our banking and insurance operations. In this analysis, we did not include the result of excess capital in our operations, calculated as the difference between our total capital and the capital of these two activities.

 

Sales Cost Model

 

The practice in Itaú Unibanco is to allocate the selling costs to all of our products and services based on the corresponding utilization of each channel (full allocation method). Accordingly, the selling costs related to insurance, pension plan and premium bonds products in our branch network and other electronic or physical distribution channels are recorded in our income statement of the insurance segment. This practice has both accounting and managerial effects.

Evolution of Net Income and Segments’ Share in Net Income of Itaú Unibanco

 

The recurring net income from Banking Operations (banking products and services) reached R$4.719 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 8.5% from the previous quarter, mainly due to the increase in operating revenues driven by the growth in the managerial financial margin and in banking service fees and income from banking charges, which were partially offset by the increase in non-interest expenses.

 

The recurring net income from Insurance Operations (Itaú Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds) reached R$654 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a 25.7% decline from the previous quarter, influenced by the decrease in the managerial financial margin as the impact of the early termination of the agreement between Itaú Seguros S.A. and Via Varejo, which occurred in the last quarter, as well as the decrease in the result from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations before retained claims and selling expenses.

 

The insurance ratio(1), which represents the ratio of recurring net income from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations to Itaú Unibanco’s recurring net income, excluding the result of excess capital, reached 12.2%, a decrease of 460 basis points from the previous quarter.

Evolution of Efficiency Ratio, Risk-Adjusted Efficiency Ratio and Annualized Return on Average Equity

 

The efficiency ratio of Banking Operations reached 48.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of 30 basis points from the previous quarter. This ratio decreased because the increase in operating revenues (3.5% from the previous quarter) was higher than the increase in non-interest expenses (3.1% from the previous quarter).

 

The risk-adjusted efficiency ratio reached 65.4%, a decrease of 120 basis points when compared to the previous quarter, driven by the decrease in the result from loan losses and by the same factors that influenced the efficiency ratio.

 

The annualized recurring return on equity of the banking operations reached 26.7% in the period, an increase of 160 basis points from the previous quarter.

 

 

The efficiency ratio of Itaú Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds operations reached 34.4% in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 700 basis points from the previous quarter, mainly due to the increase in non-interest expenses (16.3% from the previous quarter).

 

The risk-adjusted efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter of 2014 reached 55.6% in the period, an increase of 730 basis points from the previous quarter, mainly driven by the same factors that influenced the efficiency ratio. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the loss ratio of our insurance core activities reached 29.0%, 220 basis points lower than the previous quarter.

 

The annualized recurring return on equity of the insurance operations reached 57.1% in the period, a decrease of 2,160 basis points when compared to the previous quarter.

Our core activities consist of mass-market products related to Life, Property, Credit, Pension and Premium Bonds. Other insurance activities correspond to extended warranty, large risks, DPVAT products and our interest in IRB.

 

We continue to concentrate efforts on distribution through our own channels, due to greater agility and efficiency. We carried out a comprehensive review of products’ characteristics, increasing the distribution channels and investment in technology, in order to better match the products offered to clients to their protection needs. Additionally, as a result of more efficient processes, we significantly improved the quality of our client services, achieving a broader diversification of the distribution channels and a 13.7% increase in sales when compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

 

The focus on sales in low-cost channels as part of our distribution strategy positively impacted our profitability. Our priority channels currently represent 57.2% of the sales to account holders, a 22.5% increase from the same quarter of 2013. Sales through ATMs continued to grow in the fourth quarter of 2014 and increased 1,000 basis points when compared to the same period of the previous year. Sales through mobile banking channels increased 25.7% from the third quarter of 2014, and the number of items sold through the Internet increased 49.7% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, with an increasingly significant share coming from the Virtual Insurance Store, an innovative initiative in the banking insurance market.

 

The recurring net income from Itaú Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds reached R$654 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a 25.7% decrease from the previous quarter, mainly influenced by the effect of the early termination of the agreement between Itaú Seguros S.A. and Via Varejo, which took place in the previous quarter, by the decrease in earned premiums as the result of the sale of the large risk portfolio and by the increase of non-interest expenses.

 

The return on allocated capital reached 57.1% in the quarter, a decrease of 2,160 basis points when compared to the third quarter of 2014.

 

Net income from the core activities decreased 12.6%, mainly due to lower net pension plan contributions and premium bonds revenues and higher non-interest expenses.

Our insurance core activities consist of mass-market products related to life, property and credit. These products are offered in synergy through the many channels of the bank, such as the retail channels - branch network, partnership with retailers, credit card clients, real estate and vehicle financing, personal and payroll loans - and the wholesale channel. These products have characteristics such as low risk (lower loss ratio), low volatility in the result and less use of capital, making this a strategic service, which is increasingly relevant in the diversification of the conglomerate’s revenues.

 

We continue to evaluate the optimal distribution and channels in a swift and efficient manner. Additionally, we carried out a comprehensive review of the products characteristics, increasing the distribution channels and the investment in technology in order to better match the products offered to clients to their protections needs, through tailor-made channels and prices.

International Presence

 

 

We are present in 18 countries outside Brazil, seven of which are in Latin America.

 

In Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, we serve the retail banking, companies, corporate and treasury segments, having commercial banking as our main focus. In Peru, we have an Itaú BBA representation office and in Colombia, we are gradually intensifying our presence through our corporate and investment banking operation.

Latin America

 

Our operations in Latin America are mainly focused on commercial banking, which is concentrated in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay), but also include Colombia in corporate and investment banking operations, and Peru in corporate operations through a representation office. In Mexico, we are in the initial phase of opening a full-service broker.

 

Latin America is a priority in our international expansion due to the geographic and cultural proximity to Brazil. Our purpose is to be recognized as the “Latin American Bank”, becoming a reference in the region for all financial services provided to individuals or companies. We have expanded our business in the region in a sustainable manner over the past years and our priority now is to gain economies of scale, maintain a strong presence in the local retail markets and strengthen our relationships with local companies.

 

On January 29, 2014, we entered into an agreement with CorpBanca and its controlling stockholders for the merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca. Some of the regulatory approvals required for the conclusion of this operation were already obtained.

 

The transaction creates an important platform for our expansion and search for business development in the region. In Chile, it will allow us to move up from the 6th to the 4th position in terms of loans among private banks (data provided by SBIF - Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, November 2014).

 

Operation in Latin America

 

 

As of this quarter, we present the consolidated results for Latin America1 as well as for its respective countries in constant currency3, including the adjustment of hedging effects2.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled R$253 million. The financial margin was mainly impacted by (i) a lower result from derivatives and foreign exchange operations in Chile and (ii) from the sale of student loan portfolio in Chile that occurred in the last quarter.

 

Loan and retained claim losses net of recovery increased 6.9% in the quarter, mainly due to the higher provisions in Argentina (due to increased volume of the loan portfolio) and Uruguay (due to regulatory change related to the recognition of provisions).

 

Non-interest expenses increased 6.7% in the quarter, mainly due to higher expenses in Chile, Argentina (both impacted by personnel and marketing expenses) and Paraguay (higher expenses from credit card operations).

 

(1) Includes our operations in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico.

(2) Excludes the effects of the investment hedge in 3Q14 and 4Q14.

(3) By reporting in constant currency, we eliminate the impacts from exchange rate variations. The exchange rate applied to all periods is the average from December 2014.

Chile

 

Our business in Chile is mainly focused on retail and high-income clients, in addition to operations in the companies and corporate segments. Currently, we occupy a prominent position in wealth management and we have the fastest growing loan portfolio (data provided by SBIF - Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, November 2014) among the major banks in the country. The company “Itaú Administradora General de Fondos”, a subsidiary of Banco Itaú Chile, won two Morningstar 2014 awards, as the best fixed income asset manager and best fixed income mutual fund in Latin America.

 

Total assets in Chile totaled R$35.3 billion in December 2014 an increase of 3.5% in the quarter, and 15.8% in the year. The loan portfolio in December 2014 reached R$27.0 billion, an increase of 2.2% in the quarter, and 14.2% from December 2013, mainly due to the growth of the mortgage, consumer and commercial loan portfolio. The individuals loan portfolio in Chile represents 70.5% of our operations with individuals in Latin America (ex-Brazil) and 64.5% of this portfolio is composed of mortgage loans. The companies loan portfolio in Chile accounts for 61.3% of the companies portfolio in Latin America (ex-Brazil).

 

Stockholders’ equity in December 2014 totaled R$4.6 billion, and net income in the quarter was R$91 million, mainly impacted by a decrease in financial margin due to (i) a lower result from derivatives and foreign exchange operations and (ii) from the sale of student loan portfolio that occurred in the last quarter.

Paraguay

 

Our strategy for the commercial banking (retail) and companies segments during the last years resulted in a significant increase in market share in Paraguay. We hold the leading position among the banks in Paraguay in terms of results, return on average equity and efficiency ratio (data provided by the Central Bank of Paraguay, December 2014).

 

We have been recognized as the best bank in Paraguay by the Global Finance magazine since 2011, and in 2014, we were recognized by The Banker and Euromoney magazines.

 

Our assets in Paraguay totaled R$9.2 billion, an increase of 12.5% from September 2014, and 16.8% from last year, mainly explained by a higher loan portfolio, which reached R$5.4 billion, increasing 13.1% in the quarter, and 17.0% during the year. This growth was driven by loan portfolio in local currency and credit cards.

  

Stockholders’ equity totaled R$1.3 billion, and net income in the quarter was R$94 million, in line with the previous quarter.

Uruguay

 

We are the third largest private bank in Uruguay in terms of loan portfolio (data provided by the Central Bank of Uruguay - BCU, December 2014) and were recognized as the best bank in Uruguay by the Euromoney magazine. We are also the leading player in the credit card segment through our credit card operator OCA. For the purpose of maintaining this growth pace and increase local penetration, we purchased the retail operations of Citibank in Uruguay as well as their Visa, Mastercard and Diners credit card operations, as previously disclosed.

 

Our assets totaled R$11.3 billion in December 2014, a decrease of 2.9% when compared to September 2014, and an increase of 14.6% from December 2013, mainly due to the increase in loan operations and interbank accounts (reserve requirement). The loan portfolio reached R$5.4 billion, an increase of 10.7% in the quarter and 23.2% when compared to the same period of 2013, mainly driven by higher companies loan volume and higher credit card operations volume.

 

Stockholders’ equity totaled R$1.2 billion in December 2014, and net income in the quarter was R$51 million, mainly due to the increase in loan operations and higher revenues from credit card operations.

MANAGEMENT REPORT – January to December 2014

 

To our Stockholders:

 

We present the Management Report and the Financial Statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (Itaú Unibanco) and its subsidiaries for the period from January to December 2014. In accordance with the regulations established by Brazilian Corporate Law, the National Monetary Council (CMN), the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP), the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), and the National Superintendence of Supplementary Pension (PREVIC).

 

The information included in this material is available on the Investor Relations’ website of Itaú Unibanco: (www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Financial Information) and on the CVM’s website. Our results may also be accessed on tablet through our application “Itaú RI” (APP).

 

1)MACROECONOMIC CONTEXT

 

1.1)Global Context

 

The recovery of the US economy strengthened in 2014. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) grew from 2.2% in 2013 to 2.4% in 2014. Furthermore, approximately 3.0 million net jobs were created in 2014, and as a result, unemployment reached 5.6% in December, a rate lower than the average for the last 50 years.

 

The economic activity in the Eurozone witnessed a modest recovery. The 12 month cumulative growth in the third quarter of 2014 was 0.8%, and there was a decrease of 0.4% at the end of 2013. The economic activity in China continues to gradually slow down, as a result of economic policies aimed at greater growth sustainability, with lower investments and higher consumption.

 

The second half of the year was characterized by a steep drop in the prices of commodities, particularly oil.

 

1.2)Context – Latin America

 

In 2014, economies in Latin America, in general, posted growth rates lower than those in the previous year. Colombia and Mexico are otherwise exceptions, with growth of 5.1% and 1.7% respectively, in the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014. Currencies in this region have devaluated over the year in relation to the U.S. dollar, reflecting an expectation of monetary tightening in the U.S. and the lower prices of commodities.

 

In Chile, GDP growth was 2.0%, and Paraguay grew 6.4%, while Uruguay grew 3.9%. Argentina faced a slowdown and posted a 2.6% decrease. Data refer to the 12-month period ended September 30, 2014, with the exception of Argentina´s GDP, which refers to December 31, 2014.

 

1.3)Domestic Context

 

Economic activity was slower than expected, with a reduction of consumer and business confidence. GDP growth is expected to be approximately 0.1% in 2014.

 

Lending, based on data from the BACEN, decreased 0.9% in real terms for the 12-month period until December 2014. The credit reserve as a percentage of GDP increased from 56.1% in December 2013 to 58.9% in December 2014, but the real growth of the credit reserve slowed down from 8.3% to 4.6% in the same period. The systemic default rate remained substantially unchanged over the year and is at 2.9%.

 

The Real closed the year at R$2.66/US$, with a 13.4% depreciation against the US dollar over the year. The foreign exchange rate was impacted by external factors, such as the US dollar valuation against other currencies and the drop in the prices of commodities, as well as by local factors, such as an increase in the foreign trade deficit. The BACEN implemented swap-sales program, and avoided a higher depreciation.

 

The twelve-month cumulative inflation as measured by the IPCA reached 6.4% in December, with increases of 6.7% in free prices and of 5.3% in managed prices. With inflation under pressure, in October the BACEN resumed it´s policy of increasing the Selic rate. The basic interest rate increased by 1.75 percentage points over 2014 and closed the year at 11.75%.

3)OUR HIGHLIGHTS

 

90 Years of Itaú Unibanco Holding

 

  In 2014 we celebrated our 90th anniversary, a landmark in our history.

 

The trajectories of the former Casa Moreira Salles, founded in 1924, and Banco Central de Crédito, which started operations in 1945, spanned the 20th century, when these companies experienced both organic growth and growth through acquisitions, becoming two of the largest banks in Brazil. With the merger announced in November 2008, Itaú Unibanco became the largest private-owned bank in Brazil.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 201473
 

 

Over these nine decades, we have built up a company that has gone far beyond the dreams of our founders and has always remained loyal to its principles, currently represented by “Our Way of Making it Happen”:

 

 

 

3.1) Corporate Events

 

Repurchase of shares – In 2014, we acquired 1.0 million preferred shares of own issue in the total amount of R$34.8 million at an average price of R$34.75 per share. In December 2014, the repurchase program was renewed for another year, through which the acquisition of up to 10.0 million common shares and 50.0 million preferred shares was authorized.

 

On a voluntary basis, and aiming for transparency with capital markets agents, since 2004 we have disclosed monthly the volumes traded and the prices practiced for those trades. For further information, please access www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Corporate Governance > Repurchase of shares.

 

10% Bonus for Itaú Unibanco shares – In June 2014, our stockholders received, free of charge, a new share for every ten shares of the same type they held, with the cost assigned of R$29.83 per bonus share, thus generating a fiscal benefit. We emphasize that we maintained our monthly payments of dividends of R$0.015 per share.

 

Stockholders’ Compensation - In the year to date, we paid or declared for R$6.6 billion in dividends and interest on capital, net of taxes. The net payout for the last twelve months was 32.8%.

 

3.2) Approval by the Regulatory Bodies

 

The following were announced and approved in 2014:

 

·Corporate restructuring of Itaú BBA, by BACEN, the Central Bank of Bahamas and by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia.

 

·Tecban’s Shareholders’ Agreement, by CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense). The Shareholders’ Agreement became effective in November 2014; and

·Business Unification: Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A., by CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) and BACEN.

 

Additionally, on January 29, 2014, we entered into an agreement with CorpBanca and its controlling stockholders for the merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca. Some of the regulatory approvals required for the conclusion of this operation were already obtained.

 

3.3) Technology

 

We invest in technology because we believe that it is how we will be able to improve the world of our employees and clients.

We expect to invest this total amount in data processing systems, purchase of software, system development and in our new Data Center built in the State of São Paulo.

 

Our Data Center, one of the largest in Latin American, had its construction concluded as planned and the configurations of the environmental infrastructure were successfully established. We have begun the migration of our systems and services, which are scheduled to be concluded in the second half of 2016.

 

DataCenterDynamics Brazil Awards – in November 2014 we won the award in the “Innovation in a Mega-Data Center” category. The DatacenterDynamics Awards recognizes innovation, leadership and original thinking in the Brazilian data center industry.

In 2014, 89% of the employees voluntarily took part in the survey in Brazil and abroad. The satisfaction rate was 80% in Brazil and abroad, a 4 percentage points increase as compared to 2013.

 

In 2014 we were the winners of the “As Melhores da Dinheiro 2014” (the best of Dinheiro 2014) in the Human Resources category. Promoted by Isto É Dinheiro magazine, this award acknowledges the best companies of the year by using management criteria, as follows: financial sustainability, human resources, innovation and quality, social and environmental responsibility and corporate governance.

 

6)SUSTAINABILITY

 

Sustainability is incorporated into the corporate strategy by means of a consolidated governance structure integrated into business, which permits the internalization of social and environmental topics into daily activities and processes. Long-term strategic decisions on sustainability are discussed on an annual basis in the Board of Directors meeting and in the Executive Committee. Since 2011, our sustainability activities have been based on three strategic focuses: financial education, dialogue and transparency, and social and environmental risks and opportunities.

 

The management of social and environmental risk is based on the identification, measurement, mitigation and monitoring of risks. In 2014, the Sustainability Policy was revised in accordance with the criteria established in BACEN Resolution No. 4.327. In accordance with this policy, the social and environmental risks are analyzed based on the characteristics, needs, exposure to risks and specificities of each business front.

 

In financial education, we highlight the program for client companies with 800 service centers (PABs), in which over 7.0 thousand individual clients have already been impacted. By assessing the financial indicators of the clients impacted, the program proved itself efficient, since in two years the percentage of clients with private pension plans increased from 17% to 26% and the investment percentage from 40% to 59%. Also in 2014, we participated in 16 editions of the TV Globo program – Encontro com Fátima Bernardes (meeting with Fátima Bernardes) – to present financial guidance in a simple way for approximately 51 million viewers.

 

7)PRIVATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT

 

Investments in the social area – particularly those focused on the improvement of education, health, culture, sports and urban mobility – are aligned with the institution’s purpose of transforming the people’s world for the better.

 

Our purpose is to use the same expertise and efficiency that we apply to business in the development of projects, technologies and tools that encourage people to acquire more knowledge and critical awareness in order to make better choices.

 

In 2014, we invested R$485.1 million in projects, either through allowances incentivized by laws (Rouanet Law, Sports Incentive Law) or through donations and sponsorships made by Itaú Unibanco, contributing to projects focused on education, health, culture, sports and mobility.

7.1) Education and Health

 

Fundação Itaú Social with activities in the whole Brazilian territory, it is focused on the support, development and strengthening of programs aimed at improving public education policies, enhancing the commitment of our employees – and society in general – through a volunteer culture and systematized evaluation of social projects. Thus, it has devised, implemented and disseminated methodologies to improve public policies in the educational area, always together with governments, companies and non-governmental organizations. In 2014, we highlight the following events:

 

·Olimpíada de Língua Portuguesa Escrevendo o Futuro (Portuguese language olympiad - writing the future): with the participation of 90% of the Brazilian cities, 100,283 teachers enrolled, benefiting over 5 million students;

 

·Itaú Criança (Itaú child): reading incentive campaign, that distributed over 4 million books free of charge;

 

·Prêmio Itaú-Unicef (Itaú-Unicef award): participation of 1,700 social managers and educators being trained in full-time education.

 

Instituto Unibanco – devises, assesses and disseminates solutions that bring changes in the reality of high schools, to expand the youth’s learning opportunities, in search for a fairer and transformative society.

 

The main programs are:

 

·Jovem de Futuro (youth with a future): in 2014, 2,162 public schools took part in the Jovem de Futuro program, benefiting 981.4 thousand students (according to the 2013 School Census), in seven states.

 

·Estudar Vale a Pena (studying is worthwhile): In 2014, 882 volunteers were engaged in actions that benefited approximately 7.1 thousand high school students.

 

Instituto REDE - in 2014, it organized lectures, courses and workshops attended by 3.6 thousand entrepreneurs, and it sponsored the Global Entrepreneurship Week organized by Endeavor Brasil.

 

Just in the health area, we supported 44 projects, an incentive that exceeded R$57.8 million in 2014, with actions focused on senior citizens, prevention and treatment of cancer, and disabled people.

 

7.2) Culture

 

Instituto Itaú Cultural - in 2014, Itaú Cultural continued with its mission: “to inspire and be inspired by the sensitivity and creativity of people to generate transforming experiences in the world of Brazilian art and culture”. Approximately 440 national and international activities conducted over 2014 were visited by 330 thousand people, with 22 exhibitions, two cases in “Espaço Memória” and the website had over 12.0 million single hits. Itaú Cultural is the first institution to make available the encyclopedia of art and Brazilian culture on the internet, fully free of charge, with over 8 thousand entries (http://enciclopedia.itaucultural.org.br/).

 

Since 2009, the institute has been present on Facebook, and has 702 thousand fans, being the largest page of a Brazilian cultural institution. In addition, we are active on Twitter (77 thousand followers), on Youtube channel (we had over 3.6 million views distributed in a collection of over 4,000 videos about art and Brazilian culture) and on Instagram, a social network on which we have been present for a little over one year, and we are about to reach the milestone of 5,000 followers.

 

Espaço Itaú de Cinema – established in 1995, as Espaço Unibanco, the Itaú Unibanco movie theaters rooms show independent movies in Brazil. Present in six cities with eight movie complexes, their 56 screening rooms contribute to the access to culture in Brazil. In 2014, about 7.6 million people went to Espaço Itaú de Cinema.

 

7.3) Sports

 

We have invested in the development of sports because we understand its transformational potential from citizenship building. We sponsor different projects, always aimed at making the sports practice a social practice, which benefits the community and transforms the people’s world.

 

Our involvement with soccer started over 20 years ago, when we sponsored the broadcast of games in several competitions. We have sponsored the Brazilian soccer team since 2008, in all categories, and in the beginning of 2011 we also started to sponsor the Brazilian beach soccer team. In addition to soccer, we have supported a number of projects in the tennis tour and we annually organize the Itaú Masters Tour (12th edition). We have also been present in tournaments such as the Rio Open and the Miami Open.

 

Finally, we support Caravana do Esporte (sports caravan), which, since 2009, has qualified almost 18 thousand teachers from 17 Brazilian states, assisting over 200 thousand children directly and 1.8 million indirectly. We are sponsoring, for one more year, the Liga de Desporto Universitário (university sports league), the largest university sports project in the country.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 201484
 

  

Empresário Amigo do Esporte (Entrepreneur Friend of Sports) Award (Ministry of Sports) – in December 2014, we were acknowledged by the Ministry of Sports as one of the largest investors in national sports through the Sports Incentive Law.

 

7.4) Urban Mobility

 

We have invested in the urban mobility cause in big cities, valuing the bicycle as a means of transportation, transforming the way people live and relate to their cities. To achieve this objective, our platform is composed of bicycle sharing programs, actions to improve infrastructure in the cities and awareness initiatives for a more harmonic coexistence among the different means of transportation. In 2014, we expanded our sharing programs to another 2 capitals (Belo Horizonte and Brasília), in addition to consolidating the existing ones (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco, Salvador and Porto Alegre). We finished the year with over 650 active stations, totaling over 6.5 thousand public bicycles, the famous “little orange bicycles”, which carried out over 3.3 million commutes in 2014 alone. We have also started an operation in Santiago, Chile.

Note 2 – Presentation of the financial statements

 

a)Presentation of the financial statements

 

The financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and of its subsidiaries (ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles established by the Brazilian Corporate Law, including the amendments introduced by Laws No. 11,638, of December 28, 2007, and No. 11,941, of May 27, 2009, in conformity, when applicable, with instructions issued by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), the National Monetary Council (CMN), the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP), the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and the National Superintendence of Supplementary Pension – (PREVIC), which include the use of estimates necessary to calculate accounting provisions and valuation of financial assets.

 

In order to enable the analysis of the net income, the heading “Net income without nonrecurring effects” is presented below the Consolidated Statement of Income, and this effect is highlighted in a heading called “Exclusion of nonrecurring effects” (Note 22k).

 

As set forth in the sole paragraph of article 7 of BACEN Circular No. 3,068, of November 8, 2001, securities classified as trading securities (Note 4c) are presented in the Balance Sheet under Current Assets regardless of their maturity dates.

 

Lease Operations are presented, at present value, in the Balance Sheet, and the related income and expenses, which represent the financial result of these operations, are presented, grouped together, under loan, lease and other loan operations in the Statement of Income. Advances on exchange contracts are reclassified from Other Liabilities – Foreign exchange portfolio to Loan Operations. The foreign exchange result is presented on an adjusted basis, with the reclassification of expenses and income, in order to represent exclusively the impact of variations and differences of rates on the balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies.

 

b)Consolidation

 

As set forth in paragraph 1, article 2, of BACEN Circular Letter No. 2,804, of February 11, 1998, the financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED comprise the consolidation of its foreign branches and subsidiaries.

 

Intercompany transactions and intercompany balances and intercompany results have been eliminated on consolidation. The investment funds in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED companies are the main beneficiaries or holders of principal obligations are consolidated. The investments in these fund portfolios are classified by type of transaction and were distributed by type of security, in the same categories in which these securities had been originally allocated. The effects of the foreign exchange variation on investments abroad are classified in the heading Securities and Derivative Financial Instruments in the Statement of Income and for subsidiaries which functional currency is equal to that of the parent company and in Asset Valuation Adjustment for subsidiaries which functional currency is different from that of the parent company (Note 4s).

 

The difference of Net Income and Stockholders’ Equity between ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED (Note 16d) results from the adoption of different criteria for the amortization of goodwill originated on the purchase of investments and from the recording of transactions with minority stockholders where there is no change of control (Note 4q), net of the respective deferred tax assets.

 

In ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, the goodwill recorded in subsidiaries, mainly originated from the ITAÚ UNIBANCO merger and acquisition by minority stockholders of REDE, is being amortized based on the expected future profitability and appraisal reports, or upon realization of the investment, according to the rules and guidance of CMN and BACEN.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014101
 

  

In ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, from January 1, 2010, the goodwill originated from the purchase of investments is no longer fully amortized in the consolidated financial statements (Note 4j). By 12/31/2009, goodwill generated had been fully amortized in the periods investments were made.

 

The consolidated financial statements comprise ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. We present below the main companies with total assets over R$ 150 million:

c)Business development

 

REDE

 

On September 24, 2012, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING completed the auction of the Tender Public Offer (OPA) to cancel REDE’s listed company register, which occurred on October 18, 2012, pursuant to the OPA call notice published on August 23, 2012. As a result of the auction, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING started to hold 100.0% of REDE’s capital, with the acquisition of 335,413,093 common shares for R$ 11,752,183.

 

Changes in ownership interest in a subsidiary, which do not result in loss of control, are accounted for as capital transactions and any difference between the amount paid and the amount corresponding to minority stockholders should be recognized directly in consolidated stockholders' equity - caption Revenue Reserve.

 

Association agreement with Banco BMG S.A.

 

On July 9, 2012, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING entered into an Association Agreement with Banco BMG S.A. ("BMG"), aiming at the offering, distribution and commercialization of payroll debit loans through the incorporation of a financial institution, the Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. (“Itaú BMG Consignado”). After obtaining the previous approval required for starting operations, issued by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) on October 17, 2012, the final documents were signed on December 13, 2012 and Banco BMG has been a stockholder of Itaú BMG Consignado since January 7, 2013. The completion of the operation was subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Brazil, which was obtained on April 18, 2013.

 

As a result of this transaction stockholders’ equity attributed to non-controlling stockholders increased by R$ 303.177 at the base date of 2013.

 

On April 29, 2014, an agreement was entered into to establish the combination of payroll loan business of BMG and Itaú BMG Consignado, which was concentrated in Itaú BMG Consignado. In reciprocity for this business combination, on July 25, 2014, a capital increase of Itaú BMG Consignado was carried out, fully subscribed and paid in by BMG in the amount of R$ 181.086. The possibility of this combination was already set forth in the investment agreement of December 13, 2012, which governs the association. After this capital increase, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING will hold a sixty per cent (60%) interest in the total and voting capital of Itaú BMG Consignado and BMG will hold the remaining forty per cent (40%).

 

Accordingly, as from July 25, 2014 and throughout the period of the Association, Itaú BMG Consignado is the exclusive vehicle of BMG and its controlling shareholders for the offer, in the Brazilian territory, of payroll loans, provided that certain exceptions are observed for a maximum period of six (6) months counted from the date on which the capital of Itaú BMG Consignado is increased.

 

It is estimated that this transaction will not have significant accounting effects on the results of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, which will continue to consolidate Itaú BMG Consignado in its financial statements.

 

Credicard

 

On May 14, 2013, Itaú Unibanco Holding, signed with Banco Citibank, a Share and Quotas Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of Banco Credicard and Credicard Promotora de Vendas, including “Credicard” brand, for the amount of R$ 2,948,410 (monetarily adjusted). The completion of this transaction was pending approval by the Central Bank of Brazil, which was obtained on December 12, 2013 and settled on December 20, 2013.

 

Banco Credicard and Credicard Promotora de Vendas are the entities responsible for the supply and distribution of financial products and services under the “Credicard” brand, principally personal loans and credit cards. In view of this transaction, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING consolidated Banco Credicard and Credicard Promotora de Vendas in the consolidated financial statements from December, 2013 to August 31, 2014. Banco Credicard merged with Banco Itaucard S.A. on August 31,2014.

 

The allocation of the difference between the amount paid and the allocation of net assets at fair value led to the recognition of goodwill based on expected future profitability, in the amount of R$ 1,863 million, and other intangible assets.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014103
 

 

BMG Seguradora S.A.

 

On June 25, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. (“Itaú BMG Consignado”), which is an entity indirectly controlled by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING signed a Share Purchase Agreement with controlling shareholders of Banco BMG S.A. (“Sellers”) whereby Itaú BMG Consignado agreed to acquire 99.996% of the shares issued by BMG Seguradora S.A.

 

BMG Seguradora generated R$ 62.6 million in retained premiums during 2012 and, from January to May 2013, a retained premiums’ volume of R$ 42.4 million, 77% higher than the volume generated during the same period of 2012.

 

BMG Seguradora signed exclusivity agreements with Banco BMG S.A and with the Itaú BMG Consignado for the purpose of distributing insurance products to be offered jointly with the products distributed by these financial institutions.

 

The approval by the Central Bank of Brazil was obtained on December 19, 2013 and the transaction was settled on January 27, 2014 in the amount of R$ 88,1 million. This acquisition has not had any significant accounting impact on the results of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, which has consolidated the transaction in its financial statements since January, 2014.

 

As a result of the study of Purchase Price Allocation - PPA, the allocation of difference between the amount paid and the share in net assets at fair value, resulted in the recognition of a goodwill due to expected future profitability in the amount of R$ 22.7 million.

 

Citibank N.A. Uruguay Branch

 

On June 28, 2013, ITAU UNIBANCO HOLDING, through its subsidiary Banco Itaú Uruguay S.A. (“BIU”) executed a binding agreement with Citibank N.A. Uruguay Branch (“Citi”) establishing the rules for the acquisition by BIU of the retail business conducted by Citi in Uruguay.

 

As a result of this transaction, BIU assumed a portfolio of more than 15,000 clients in Uruguay related to the retail business (bank accounts, saving and term deposits). The acquired assets include mainly the credit card operations conducted by Citi in Uruguay under the Visa, Mastercard and Diners brand, which in 2012 represented slightly more than 6% of the Uruguayan market share.

 

Approval was obtained from applicable regulatory authorities on December 10, 2013.

 

The allocation of the difference between the amount paid and the allocation of assets and liabilities related to the operation, net at fair value, led to the recognition of goodwill based on expected future profitability and other intangible assets.

 

Partnership with Fiat

 

On August 20, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING announced that it renewed for another 10 years, by means of its subsidiary Itaú Unibanco S.A., the commercial cooperation agreement entered into with Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. and Fiat Automóveis S.A. (“Fiat”). This agreement sets forth: (i) exclusive financing offer in promotional campaigns held by car maker Fiat for the sale of new automobiles; and (ii) the exclusive use of Fiat brand in vehicle-financing related activities.

 

The amount involved in the transaction is not material for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and, therefore, will not cause any material accounting effect in its results.

 

Itaú CorpBanca

 

On January 29, 2014, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, together with its subsidiary Banco Itaú Chile S.A. (“BIC”) entered into an agreement (Transaction Agreement) with CorpBanca (“CorpBanca”) and its controlling stockholders (“Corp Group”) establishing the terms and conditions to merge the operations of BIC and CorpBanca Chile in Chile and in the other jurisdictions in which CorpBanca operates.

 

The operation will be realized by means of (i) capital increase of BIC in the amount of US$ 652 million to be carried out by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING or one of its subsidiaries, (ii) merger of BIC into CorpBanca, with the cancellation of BIC shares and the issuance of new shares, at the estimated rate of 85,420.07 shares of CorpBanca for each 1 share of BIC, to be approved at the stockholders' meeting of CorpBanca upon the affirmative vote of two thirds (2/3) of shares issued by CorpBanca, so that the interests in the bank resulting from the merger (to be named “Itaú CorpBanca”) are 33.58% for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and 32.92% for Corp Group, and (iii) subsequent integration of Itaú BBA Colombia S.A. into the operations of Itaú CorpBanca or its subsidiaries.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014104
 

 

Itaú CorpBanca will be controlled by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, which will enter into a stockholders’ agreement with Corp Group when the operation is concluded. This agreement will entitle ITAU UNIBANCO HOLDING and Corp Group to appoint members for the Board of Directors of Itaú CorpBanca in accordance to their interests in capital stock, and this group of stockholders will have the privilege of electing the majority of members of the Board of Directors, and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING will be entitled to elect the majority of these members. The chairmen of the Boards of Directors of Itaú CorpBanca and its subsidiaries will be appointed by Corp Group, and their vice-chairmen by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. The executives of Itaú CorpBanca and its subsidiaries will be proposed by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and ratified by the Board of Directors of Itaú CorpBanca. The stockholders’ agreement will also set forth that Corp Group will be entitled to approve, together with ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, certain strategic matters of Itaú CorpBanca, and it will include provisions on the transfer of shares between ITAU UNIBANCO HOLDING and Corp Group, and also to third parties.

 

It is estimated that this operation will not have significant accounting effects on the results of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, which will consolidate Itaú CorpBanca in its financial statements.

 

The effectiveness of this operation is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the aforementioned approval by the stockholders’ meeting of CorpBanca and regulatory approvals in Chile, Panama and Colombia. On October 15, 2014, BACEN approved the operation.

 

Major Risk Insurance Operation

 

 ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, whereby its subsidiary Itaú Unibanco S.A., signed on July 4th, 2014 a “Share Purchase Agreement” with ACE Ina International Holdings, Ltd. (“ACE”) whereby Itaú Unibanco and some of its subsidiaries have undertaken to sell their total stakes in Itaú Seguros Soluções Corporativas S.A. (“ISSC”).

 

ISSC had the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s major risk insurance operations, the clients of which were middle market and large corporations with policies representing high insured values. The necessary measures for completion of spinoff process are already in progress. This operation was approved by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) on September 15, 2014 and by SUSEP on October 09, 2014.

 

Based on pro-forma data for December 31, 2013, the major risk insurance operation comprises the following: net equity value of R$ 364 million, assets of R$ 5.8 billion and technical reserves of R$ 4.6 billion.

 

After certain conditions established in the agreement are fulfilled, ACE paid R$ 1.515 billion to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries. The transfer of these shares and the financial settlement of the operation were carried out on October 31, 2014, in which the amount paid by ACE is subject to price adjustment according to the difference in the positions of Stockholders’ Equity between the pro forma balance sheet date and the closing balance sheet date.

 

The operation produced an accounting effect, before tax, of R$ 1.1 billion on fourth quarter ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING's results.

 

The sale of this operation reflects ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s strategy of commercializing the mass-market insurance products typically related to retail banking.

The subsidiaries of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, in conjunction with other financil institutions, on July 17, 2014 signed a new Shareholders Agreement of TecBan, that will revoke and substitute the current shareholders agreement as soon as it comes into effect.

 

In addition to the usual provisions in shareholders agreements such as rules on governance and the transfer of shares, the Shareholders Agreement provides that within approximately 4 (four) years as from the date it comes into effect, the Parties shall have substituted part of their external network of Automatic Teller Machines (“ATM”) for Banco24Horas Network ATMs, which are and shall continue to being managed by TecBan. As a general rule, the external ATM network can be considered those ATMs located outside the branch banking environment or where access is not restricted, exclusive or controlled such as for example such equipment installed in shopping centers, gasoline service stations, supermarkets etc.

In line with the worldwide tendency towards best practice in the industry, the Parties constituting Brazil’s leading retail banks will consolidate their external ATM networks on the Banco24Horas Network terminals, generating increased efficiency, greater quality and capillarity of customer service. It should also be pointed out that in addition to the Parties, approximately 40 (forty) other banks are clients of TecBan. Consequently, this growth in the Banco24Horas Network will also significantly benefit these institutions and their respective customers.

 

The operation was approved by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) on October 22, 2014, with no restrictions. The effective date of sale and settlement was November 14, 2014.

 

This operation had no significant accounting effects on the results of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

Note 4 – Summary of the main accounting practices

 

a)  Cash and cash equivalents - For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, this item includes cash and current accounts in banks (considered in the heading cash and cash equivalents), interbank deposits and securities purchased under agreements to resell – funded positions that have original maturities of up to 90 days.

 

b)Interbank investments, remunerated restricted credits – Brazilian Central Bank, remunerated deposits, deposits received under securities repurchase agreements, funds from acceptance and issuance of securities, borrowings and onlending, subordinated debt and other receivables and payables – Transactions subject to monetary correction and foreign exchange variation and operations with fixed charges are recorded at present value, net of the transaction costs incurred, calculated “pro rata die” based on the effective rate of transactions, according to CVM Resolution No. 649 of December 16, 2010.

 

c)Securities - Recorded at cost of acquisition restated by the index and/or effective interest rate and presented in the Balance Sheet, according to BACEN Circular No. 3,068, of November 8, 2001. Securities are classified into the following categories:

 

·Trading securities – acquired to be actively and frequently traded, and adjusted to market value, with a contra-entry to the results for the period;

 

·Available-for-sale securities – securities that can be negotiated but are not acquired to be actively and frequently traded. They are adjusted to their market value with a contra-entry to an account disclosed in stockholders’ equity;

 

·Held-to-maturity securities – securities, except for non-redeemable shares, for which the bank has the financial condition and intends or is required to hold them in the portfolio up to their maturity, are recorded at cost of acquisition, or market value, whenever these are transferred from another category. The securities are adjusted using the accrual method through their maturity date, not being adjusted to market value.

 

Gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, when realized, are recognized at the trade date in the statement of income, with a contra-entry to a specific stockholders’ equity account.

 

Decreases in the market value of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities below their related costs, resulting from non-temporary reasons, are recorded in results as realized losses.

 

d)Derivative financial instruments - these are classified on the date of their acquisition, according to management's intention of using them either as a hedge or not, according to BACEN Circular No. 3,082, of January 30, 2002. Transactions involving financial instruments, carried out upon the client’s request, for their own account, or which do not comply with the hedging criteria (mainly derivatives used to manage the overall risk exposure), are stated at market value, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are recorded directly in the statement of income.

 

The derivatives that are used for protection against risk exposure or to modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, which have changes in market value highly associated with those of the items being protected at the beginning and throughout the duration of the contract, and which are found effective to reduce the risk related to the exposure being protected, are classified as a hedge, in accordance with their nature:

 

·Market Risk Hedgefinancial assets and liabilities, as well as their related financial instruments, are accounted for at their market value plus realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are recorded directly in the statement of income.

 

·Cash Flow Hedge - the effective amount of the hedge of financial assets and liabilities, as well as their related financial instruments, are accounted for at their market value plus realized and unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effects, when applicable, and recorded in a specific account in stockholders’ equity. The ineffective portion of the hedge is recorded directly in the statement of income.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014110
 

 

·Net Investment Hedge in Foreign Operations - It is accounted for similarly to a cash flow hedge, i.e., the portion of gains or losses on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in stockholders’ equity, and reclassified to income for the period in the case of a disposal of the foreign operation. The ineffective portion is recognized in income for the period.

 

e)  Loan, lease and other credit operations (operations with credit granting characteristics) – These transactions are recorded at present value and calculated “pro rata die” based on the variation of the contracted index and interest rate, and are recorded on the accrual basis until the 60th day overdue in financial companies, according to the estimate of receipt. After the 60th day, income is recognized upon the effective receipt of installments. Credit card operations include receivables arising from the purchases made by cardholders. The funds related to these amounts are recorded in Other Liabilities – Credit Card Operations, which also include funds arising from other credits related to transactions with credit card issuers.

 

f)  Allowance for loan losses - the balance of the allowance for loan losses was recorded based on a credit risk analysis, at an amount considered sufficient to cover loan losses according to the rules determined by CMN Resolution No. 2,682 of December 21, 1999, among which are:

 

·Provisions are recorded from the date loans are granted, based on the client’s risk rating and on the periodic quality evaluation of clients and industries, and not only in the event of default;

 

·Taking into account default exclusively, the write-off as losses occur after 360 days of credits have matured or after 540 days for operations that mature after a period of 36 months.

 

g)Other assets - these assets are mainly comprised of assets held for sale relating to real estate available for sale, own real estate not in use and real estate received as payment in kind, which are adjusted to market value through the set-up of a provision, according to current regulations, reinsurance unearned premiums (Note 4m I); and prepaid expenses, corresponding to disbursements, the benefit of which will occur in future periods.

 

h) Investments – investments in subsidiary and affiliated companies are accounted for under the equity method. The consolidated financial statements of foreign branches and subsidiaries are adapted to comply with Brazilian accounting practices and converted into Reais. Other investments are recorded at cost and adjusted to market value by setting up a provision in accordance with current standards.

 

i)Fixed assets - these assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation, and are adjusted to market value until December 31, 2007, when applicable. For insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations the adjustments to market value are supported by appraisal reports. They correspond to rights related to tangible assets intended for maintenance of the company’s operations or exercised for such purpose, including assets arising from transactions that transfer to the company their benefits, risks and controls. The items acquired through Lease contracts are recorded according to CVM Resolution No. 554, of November 12, 2008, as contra-entry to Lease obligations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, based on monetarily restated cost.

 

j)Goodwill – corresponds to the amount paid in excess for the purchase of investments and is amortized based on expected future profitability or as realized. It is annually tested for impairment.

 

k)Intangible assets – correspond to rights acquired whose subjects are intangible assets intended for maintenance of the company or which are exercised for such purpose, according to the CMN Resolution No. 3,642, of November 26, 2008. They are composed of (i) the goodwill amount paid on acquisition of the company, transferred to intangible assets in view of the transfer of the adquirer’s equity by the acquired, as set forth by Law No. 9,532/97, to be amortized based on the period defined in appraisal reports; (ii) use rights and rights acquired to credit payrolls and partnership agreements, amortized over the terms of the contracts or to the extent that the economic benefits flow to the company and (iii) software and customer portfolios, amortized over a term varying from five to ten years.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014111
 

 

l)Impairment of assets – a loss is recognized when there is clear evidence that assets are stated at a non-recoverable value. This procedure is adopted semiannually.

 

m)Insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations - insurance premiums, accepted coinsurances and selling expenses are accounted by issuing an insurance policy or in accordance with the insurance effectiveness term, through the recognition and reversal of the provision for unearned premiums and deferred selling expenses. Interest arising from fractioning of insurance premiums is accounted for as incurred.

Represented by amounts payable related to tax liabilities, the legality or constitutionality of which are subject to judicial defense, recognized in the full amount under discussion.

 

Liabilities and related escrow deposits are adjusted in accordance with the current legislation.

 

o) Taxes - these provisions are calculated according to current legislation at the rates shown below, using the related calculation bases.

 

Income tax   15.00%
Additional income tax   10.00%
Social contribution (1)   15.00%
PIS (2)   0.65%
COFINS (2)   4.00%
ISS up to   5.00%
(1)For ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its financial subsidiaries and equivalent companies, the rate corresponds to 15.00%. For non-financial and pension plan subsidiaries, the rate is 9.00%.
(2)For non-financial subsidiaries that fall into the non-cumulative calculation system, the PIS rate is 1.65% and COFINS rate is 7.60%.

 

The changes introduced by Laws No. 11,638 and No. 11,941 (articles 37 and 38), which modified the criterion for recognizing revenues, costs and expenses computed to determine the net income for the year, did not produce effects for purposes of determining the taxable income of companies that opt for the Transition Tax Regime (RTT), so for tax purposes the rules effective on December 31, 2007 were followed. The tax effect arising from the adoption of such rules is recorded, for accounting purposes, in the corresponding deferred assets and liabilities.

 

p)Deferred income – this refers to: (i) unexpired interest received in advance that is recognized in income as earned, and (ii) the negative goodwill on acquisition of investments arising from expected future losses, which has not been absorbed in the consolidation process.

 

q)Transactions with minority stockholders - Changes in ownership interest in a subsidiary, which do not result in loss of control, are accounted for as capital transactions and any difference between the amount paid and the amount corresponding to minority stockholders is recognized directly in consolidated stockholders' equity.

 

r)  Post-employments benefits

 

Pension plans - defined benefit plans

 

The liability (or asset, as the case may be) recognized in the consolidated balance sheet with respect to the defined benefit plan corresponds to the present value of the defined benefit obligations on the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is annually calculated by an independent actuarial consulting company using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated amount of future cash flows of benefit payments based on the Brazilian treasury long term securities denominated in Reais and with maturity periods similar to the term of the pension plan liabilities.

 

The following amounts are recognized in the consolidated statement of income:

 

·current service cost is defined as the increase in the present value of obligations resulting from employee service in the current period;

 

·interest on the net amount of assets (liabilities) of defined benefit plans is the change, during the period, in the net amount recognized in assets and liabilities, due to the time elapsed, which comprises the interest income on plan assets, interest expense on the obligations of the defined benefit plan and interest on the asset ceiling effects.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014114
 

 

Actuarial gains and losses arise from the non-realization of the actuarial assumptions established in the latest actuarial evaluation as compared to those effectively carried out, as well as the effects from changes in such assumptions. Gains and losses are fully recognized in asset valuation adjustments.

 

Pension plans - defined contribution

 

For defined contribution plans, contributions to plans made by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, through pension plan funds, are recognized as an expense when due.

 

Other post-employment benefit obligations

 

Certain companies that merged into ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED over the past few years were sponsors of post-employment healthcare benefit plans. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is contractually committed to maintaining such benefits over specific periods, as well as in relation to the benefits granted due to a judicial ruling.

 

Similarly to the defined benefit pension plans, these obligations are assessed annually by independent and qualified actuaries, and the costs expected from these benefits are accrued during the length of service. Gains and losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are debited from or credited to stockholders’ equity in asset valuation adjustments in the period in which they occur.

 

s)Foreign currency translation

 

I- Functional and presentation currency

 

The financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED are presented in Reais, which is its functional and presentation currency. For each subsidiary and investment in associates and joint ventures, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED defined the functional currency, as provided for in CVM deliberation CVM nº 640/10.

 

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the Brazilian real are translated as follows:

 

·assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date;
·income and expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates;
·exchange differences arising from currency translation are recorded in asset valuation adjustments.

 

II - Foreign currency transactions

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as part of securities and derivative financial instruments.

 

In the case of monetary assets classified as available-for-sale, the exchange differences resulting from a change in the amortized cost of the instrument are recognized in the income statement, while those resulting from other changes in the carrying amount, except impairment losses, are recognized in asset valuation adjustments until derecognition or impairment.

f)Reclassification of securities (article 5 of BACEN Circular No. 3,068, of 11/08/2001)

 

Management sets forth guidelines to classify securities. The classification of the current portfolio of securities, as well as the securities purchased in the period, is periodically and systematically evaluated based on such guidelines.

 

During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the half year, Management decided to reclassify Securities from Available-for-Sale to Held-to-Maturity category, in the amount of R$ 12,157,013 related to the Brazilian Debt Bonds held in Subsidiaries Abroad and Securitized Real Estate Loans, without effects on income, since the unrealized loss (impairment loss) of R$ 498,653 will be deferred over the maturity period of the instruments, as established in Paragraph 1, item II (b) of said Circular. This reclassification was determined as a result of the risk management strategy and the Institution noted that it has the financial condition and the intention to hold these securities to maturity.

g) Derivative financial Instruments

 

The globalization of the markets in recent years has resulted in a high level of sophistication in the financial products used. As a result of this process, there has been an increasing demand for derivative financial instruments to manage market risks, mainly arising from fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, commodities and other asset prices. Accordingly, ITAU UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries operate in the derivative markets for meeting the growing needs of their clients, as well as carrying out their risk management policy. Such policy is based on the use of derivative instruments to minimize the risks resulting from commercial and financial operations.

 

The derivative financial instruments’ business with clients is carried out after the approval of credit limits. The process of limit approval takes into consideration potential stress scenarios.

 

Knowing the client, the sector in which it operates and its risk appetite profile, in addition to providing information on the risks involved in the transaction and the negotiated conditions, ensures transparency in the relationship between the parties and the supply of a product that better meets the needs of the client.

 

The derivative transactions carried out by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries with clients are neutralized in order to eliminate market risks.

 

The derivative contracts traded by the institution with clients in Brazil are swap, forward, option and futures contracts, which are registered at the BM&FBOVESPA or at the CETIP S.A. OTC Clearing House (CETIP). Overseas transactions are carried out with futures, forwards (onshore), options and swaps with registration mainly in the Chicago, New York and London Exchanges. It should be emphasized that there are over-the-counter operations, but their risks are low as compared to the institutions’ total. Noteworthy is also the fact that there are no structured operations based on subprime assets and all operations are based on risk factors traded at stock exchanges.

 

The main risk factors of the derivatives, assumed at December 31, 2014, were related to the foreign exchange rate, interest rate, commodities, U.S. dollar coupon, Reference Rate coupon, Libor and variable income. The management of these and other market risk factors is supported by sophisticated statistical and deterministic models. Based on this management model, the institution, with the use of transactions involving derivatives, has been able to optimize the risk-return ratios, even under highly volatile situations.

 

Most derivatives included in the institution’s portfolio are traded at stock exchanges. The prices disclosed by stock exchanges are used for these derivatives, except in cases in which the low representativeness of price due to liquidity of a specific contract is identified. Derivatives typically valued like this are futures contracts. Likewise, there are other instruments whose quotations (fair prices) are directly disclosed by independent institutions and which are valued based on this direct information. A great part of the Brazilian government securities, highly-liquid international (public and private) securities and shares fit into this situation.

 

For derivatives whose prices are not directly disclosed by stock exchanges, fair prices are obtained by pricing models which use market information, deducted based on prices disclosed for higher liquidity assets. Interest and market volatility curves which provide entry data for the models are extracted from those prices. Over- the-counter derivatives, forward contracts and securities without much liquidity are in this situation.

 

The total value of margins pledged in guarantee was R$ 2,904,834 (R$ 9,690,901 at December 31, 2013) and was basically composed of government securities.

The biggest losses arising, by risk factor, in each scenario, were stated with impact on result, net of tax effects, by providing a vision of the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDADO exposure under exceptional scenarios.

 

The sensitivity analyses of the non-trading and the trading portfolio shown in this report are an evaluation of a static position of the portfolio exposure and, therefore, do not consider the management’s quick response capacity (treasury and control areas), which triggers risk mitigating measures, whenever a situation of high loss or risk is identified by minimizing the sensitivity towards significant losses. In addition, we point out that the presented results do not necessarily translate into accounting results, because the study's sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risks and the respective protective actions, taking into account the fair value of financial instruments, irrespective of the accounting practices adopted by the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDADO.

As from the second quarter of 2014, alterations were made in the shock scenarios (II and III) used for sensitivity analysis, which are now:

 

·Scenario I: Shocks of 1 base point in interest rates and associated indexes, and 1 percentage point in currency and share prices;

 

·Scenario II: Shocks of 25 percent in interest fixed rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both for growth and fall, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor;

 

·Scenario III: Shocks of 50 percent in interest fixed rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both for growth and fall, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor.

 

Derivative financial instruments engaged by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED are shown in the item Derivative financial instruments in this note.

 

Until 03/31/2014, scenario II and III considered shocks of 25 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively.

Note 12 – Contingent assets and liabilities and legal liabilities – tax and social security

 

In the ordinary course of its businesses, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is involved in contingencies that may be classified as follows:

 

a) Contingent Assets: there are no contingent assets recorded.

 

b) Provisions and contingencies: The criteria to quantify contingencies are adequate in relation to the specific characteristics of civil, labor and tax lawsuits portfolios, as well as other risks.

 

-Civil lawsuits:

 

Collective lawsuits (related to claims considered similar and which each individual amount is not considered significant): contingencies are determined on a monthly basis and the expected amount of losses is accrued according to statistical references that take into account the type of lawsuit and the characteristics of the legal body (Small Claims Court or Regular Court).

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): determined from time to time, based on the amount claimed and the likelihood of loss, which, in turn, is estimated according to the “de facto” and “de jure” characteristics related to such lawsuit. The amounts of losses which likelihood of loss is considered probable are accrued.

 

Contingencies usually arise from revision of contracts and compensation for property damage and pain and suffering; most of these lawsuits are filed in the Small Claims Court and are therefore limited to 40 minimum monthly wages. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is also party to specific lawsuits over the charging of understated inflation adjustment to savings accounts in connection with economic plans.

 

The case law at the Federal Supreme Court is favorable to banks in relation to an economic phenomenon similar to savings, as in the case of adjustment to time deposits and contracts in general. Additionally, the Superior Court of Justice has decided that the term for filing public civil actions over understated inflation is five years. In view of such decision, some of the lawsuits may be dismissed because they were filed after the five-year period.

 

No amount is recorded as provision in relation to Civil lawsuits which likelihood of loss is considered possible, which total estimated risk is R$ 1,800,483 (R$ 2,095,099 at December 31, 2013) and the main nature of which refers to claims form compensation or collections, the individual amounts of which are not significant.

 

-Labor claims

 

Collective lawsuits (related to claims considered similar and which each individual amount is not considered significant): The expected amount of loss is determined and accrued monthly according to the statistical share pricing model and is reassessed taking into account court rulings. These are adjusted to the amounts deposited as guarantee for their execution when realized.

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): determined from time to time, based on the amount claimed and the likelihood of loss, which, in turn, is estimated according to the “de facto” and “de jure” characteristics related to such lawsuit. The amounts of losses which likelihood of loss is considered probable are accrued.

 

Contingencies are related to lawsuits in which alleged labor rights based on labor legislation specific to the related profession, such as overtime, salary equalization, reinstatement, transfer allowance, pension plan supplement and other, are discussed.

 

No amount is recorded as provision in relation to labor claims which likelihood of loss is considered possible, and which total estimated risk is R$ 416,161.

 

-Other Risks

 

These are quantified and accrued mainly based on the evaluation of rural credit transactions with joint liability and FCVS (salary variations compensation fund) credits assigned to Banco Nacional.

-Tax and social security lawsuits

 

Contingencies are equivalent to the principal amount of taxes involved in tax, administrative or judicial challenges, subject to tax assessment notices, plus interest and, when applicable, fines and charges. The amount is accrued when it involves legal obligation, regardless of the likelihood of loss, that is, a favorable outcome to the institution is dependent upon the recognition of the unconstitutionality of the applicable law in force. In other cases, the Bank recognizes a provision whenever the likelihood of loss is probable.

The main discussions related to legal obligations are described as follows:

 

·CSLL – Isonomy – R$ 1,000,634: as the law increased the CSLL rate for financial and insurance companies to 15%, we discuss the lack of constitutional support for this measure and, due to the principle of isonomy, we defend the levy at the regular rate of 9%. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 984,268;

 

·PIS and COFINS – Calculation basis – R$ 571,744: we defend the levy of contributions on revenue, understood as the revenue from sales of assets and services. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 488,188;

 

·IRPJ and CSLL – Taxation of profits earned abroad – R$ 527,276: we discuss the calculation basis for levy of these taxes on profits earned abroad and the non-applicability of Regulatory Instruction SRF No. 213-02 in which it exceeds the suitability of the legal text. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 490,947.

·IRPJ and CSLL – Interest on capital – R$ 1,202,250: we defend the deductibility of interest on capital declared to stockholders based on the Brazilian long-term interest rate (TJLP) on the stockholders’ equity for the year and for prior years;

 

·IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS – Request for offset dismissed – R$ 1,174,160: cases in which the liquidity and the offset credit certainty are discussed;

 (*) The average funding rate, net of tax effects, was used to determine the present value.

 

The projections of future taxable income include estimates related to macroeconomic variables, exchange rates, interest rates, volume of financial operations and services fees and others which can vary in relation to actual data and amounts.

 

Net income in the financial statements is not directly related to taxable income for income tax and social contribution, due to differences existing between accounting criteria and tax legislation, besides corporate aspects. Accordingly, we recommend that the trend of the realization of deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, income tax and social contribution loss carry forwards are not used as an indication of future net income.

 

IV-There are no unrecorded deferred tax assets at 12/31/2014 and 12/31/2013.

b)Dividends

 

Stockholders are entitled to a mandatory dividend of not less than 25% of annual net income, which is adjusted according to the rules set forth in Brazilian Corporate Law. Both types of shares participate equally, after common shares have received dividends equal to the annual minimum priority dividend of R$ 0.022 per share non-cumulative to be paid to preferred shares.

 

The calculation of the monthly advance of mandatory minimum dividend is based on the share position on the last day of the prior month, taking into consideration that the payment is made on the first business day of the subsequent month, in the amount of R$ 0.015 per share.

f)Share-based payment

 

I – Stock option plan

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a stock option plan for its executives. This program aims at involving the management members in the medium and long-term corporate development process, by granting simple stock options or options which are partner options (these are personal, not pledgeable and nontransferable) which entitle to the subscription of one authorized capital share or, at the discretion of the management, one treasury share which has been acquired for replacement purposes.

 

Such options may only be granted in years in which there are sufficient profits to enable the distribution of mandatory dividends to stockholders and at a quantity that does not exceed the limit of 0.5% of the total shares held by the stockholders at the base date of the year-end balance sheet. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s Personnel Committee is responsible for defining the total quantity, the beneficiaries, the type of option, the life of the option under each series, which may range from a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 years, and the vesting period for exercising the options and the period the acquired shares are unavailable due to the exercise of the options. The executive officers and Board of Directors members of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and of its subsidiaries and employees may participate in this program, based on assessment of potential and performance.

 

Currently, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING settles the benefits under this PLAN only by delivering its own shares, which are held in treasury until the effective exercise of the options by the beneficiaries.

 

- Characteristics of the programs

 

Simple options

 

Prior programs

 

Before the merger, Itaú and Unibanco each had Stock Option Plans (Prior Programs). The eligible beneficiaries of the program were granted simple options, depending upon the individual employee performance. The exercise price is calculated based on the average prices of preferred shares at the BM&FBOVESPA trading sessions over the period of at least one (1) and at the most three (3) months prior to the option issue date; alternatively, subject to the positive or negative adjustment of up to 20%, and restated until the last business day of the month prior to the option exercise date based either on the IGP-M or IPCA, in its absence, based on the index determined by the committee. Options are no longer granted under this model.

 

Post-merger program

 

The eligible beneficiaries of the program are granted simple options, dependent upon the individual employee performance. The exercise price is calculated based on the average prices of preferred shares at the BM&FBOVESPA in the last three months of the year prior to the granting date or, alternatively, subject to the positive or negative adjustment of up to 20%. The exercise price is adjusted based on the IGPM or, in its absence, based on the index determined by the committee.

 

The vesting period is from one (1) to seven (7) years, counted from the issue date.

 

The ESM of April 19, 2013 approved the conversion of the Stock Option Plan of REDE by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, with the exchange of RDCD3 shares to ITUB4 shares with no significant financial impacts.

 

Partners plan

 

Executives selected to participate in the program may invest a percentage of their bonus to acquire shares or they have the right to receive shares (“Share-Based Instrument”). Title to the shares acquired, as well as the share-based instruments, should be held by the executives for a period of three (3) to five (5) years and they are subject to market fluctuation. At the time they acquire own shares and/or share-based instruments, Partner Options are granted in accordance with the classification of executives. Vesting period of Partners Options or share-based instruments is from one (1) to seven (7) years. Share-based instruments and Partner options are converted into own shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING in the ratio of one preferred share for each instrument after the respective vesting period, with no payment of amounts in legal tender during the exercise.

 

The acquisition price of own shares and Share-Based Instruments is established every six months and it is equivalent to the average preferred share quotation at the BM&FBOVESPA trading sessions in the 30 days prior to the determination of the acquisition price.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014182
 

  

Title to the shares received after the vesting period of the Partners Options should be held, without any liens or encumbrances, for periods from five (5) to eight (8) years, counted from the date of acquisition of own shares.

 

The weighted average fair value of the Share-Based Instruments at the granting date was estimated for the shares purchased in the period ended December 31, 2014 was R$ 31.43 per share (R$ 34.66 per share at December 31, 2013).

 

The fair value of the Share-Based Instruments is the market price quoted at the granting date for preferred shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING less the cash price paid by the beneficiaries. Amount received for the purchase of Share-Based Instruments for the period ended December 31, 2014 was R$ 7,982 (R$ 15,215 at December 31, 2013).

II-Variable Compensation

 

Resolution No. 3,921, of November 25, 2010, of the National Monetary Council, sets forth that the management’s variable compensation should be consistent with the institution’s risk management policies, and at least fifty percent (50%) should be mandatory paid in shares or share-based instruments, and at least forty percent (40%) of this amount should be deferred for payment in at least three (3) years.

 

The policy established by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING in compliance with Resolution No. 3,921, sets forth that fifty percent (50%) of the management’s and employee’s variable compensation should be mandatory paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) should be paid in shares for a period of three (3) years. Shares are delivered on an indirect basis, of one-third (1/3) per year, subject to the executive’s remaining with the institution.

 

To comply with the Resolution on compensation, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING was authorized by CVM to transfer, on a private basis, shares of its own issue held in treasury to its management members and the management members of its subsidiaries.

 

In the period from January 1 to December 31, 2014, the accounting effect of the variable compensation is recorded in Personnel Expenses, in the amount of R$ 300,788, in compliance with statutory limits.

 

The fair value of shares intended for variable compensation is the market price at the granting date with respect to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s preferred shares.

III – Fair value and economic assumptions for cost recognition

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes, at the granting date, the fair value of options through the Binomial method for Simple Options and the Black & Scholes method for Partners Options. Economic assumptions used are as follows:

 

Exercise price: for the option exercise price, the exercise price previously agreed upon at the option issue is adopted, adjusted by the IGP-M variation;

 

Price of the underlying asset: the share price of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING (ITUB4) used for calculation is the closing price at BM&FBOVESPA on the calculation base date;

 

Expected dividends: the average annual return rate for the last three years of the dividends paid, plus interest on capital of the ITUB4 share;

 

Risk-free interest rate: the applied risk-free rate is the IGP-M coupon rate at the expiration date of the option plan;

 

Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the history of the last 84 monthly returns of closing prices of the ITUB4 share, released by BM&FBOVESPA, adjusted by the IGP-M variation.

(*) The fair value of option is measured based on the fair value of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING share at the granting date.

 

IV - Accounting effects arising from options

 

The exercise of stock options, pursuant to the Plan’s regulation, resulted in the sale of preferred shares held in treasury thus far. The accounting entries related to the plan are recorded during the vesting period, at the deferral of the fair value of options granted with effect on Income, and during the exercise of options, at the amount received from the option exercise price, reflected in Stockholders’ Equity.

 

The effect of Income for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2014 was R$ (230,696) (R$ (187,880) from January 1 to December 31, 2013) as a contra-entry to Capital Reserve – Granted Options Recognized – Law No. 11,638 (Note 16c).

 

In the Stockholders’ Equity, the effect was as follows:

 

   12/31/2014   12/31/2013 
Amount received for the sale of shares – exercised options   535,557    215,310 
(-) Cost of treasury shares sold   (561,298)   (331,283)
(+) Write-off of cost recognized of exercised options   104,719    184,899

To obtain the market values for these financial instruments, the following criteria were adopted:

 

·Interbank investments were determined based on their nominal amounts, monetarily restated to maturity dates and discounted to present value using future market interest rates and swap market rates for fixed-rate securities and using market interest rates for fixed-rate securities, achieved at the closing of BM&FBOVESPA at the balance sheet date, for floating-rate securities;

 

·Securities and derivative financial instruments, according to the rules established by Circulars No. 3,068 and 3,082 of November 8, 2001 and January 30, 2002, respectively, issued by BACEN, are recorded at their market value, except for those classified as Held to Maturity. Government securities allocated in this category have their market value calculated based on the rates obtained in the market, and validated through the comparison with information provided by the National Association of Financial Market Institutions (ANBIMA). Private securities included in this category have their market value calculated using a criterion similar to the one adopted for Investments in Interbank Deposits, as described above;

 

·Loans with maturities over 90 days, when available, were calculated based on the net present value of future cash flows discounted at market interest rates effective on the balance sheet date, taking into account the effects of hedges as well (swap contracts);

 

·Investments - in companies BM&FBOVESPA and Porto Seguro at the share value in stock exchanges.

 

·Time and interbank deposits and funds from acceptance and issuance of securities and foreign borrowings through securities, when available, were calculated based on their present value determined by future cash flows discounted at market rates obtained at the closing of BM&FBOVESPA on the balance sheet date;

 

·Subordinated debt, based on the net present value of future fixed or floating cash flows in foreign currency, net of the market interest rates effective on the balance sheet date and considering the credit risk of the issuer. The floating cash flows are estimated from the interest curves of the indexation market places;

 

·Treasury shares are valued according to the average quotation available on the last trading day of the month or, if this is not available, according to the most recent quotation on prior trading days, published in the daily bulletin of each Stock Exchange.

a) Retirement plans

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED and some of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit and variable contribution plans, whose basic purpose is to grant benefits that, in general, provide a life annuity benefit, and may be converted into survivorship annuities, according to the plan's regulation. They also sponsor defined contribution plans, the benefit of which is calculated based on the accumulated balance at the eligibility date, according to the plan's regulation, which does not require actuarial calculation, except as described in Note 19c.

 

Employees hired up to July 31, 2002, whom came from Itaú, and until February 27, 2009, whom came from Unibanco, are beneficiaries of the above-mentioned plans. With regards the employees hired after these dates, they have the option to voluntarily participate in a variable contribution plan (PGBL), managed by Itaú Vida e Previdência S.A..

 

Supplementary plans are managed by closed-end private pension entities with independent legal structures, as detailed below:

b) Governance

 

The closed-end private pension entities (EFPC) and benefit plans they manage are regulated in conformity with the related specific legislation. The EFPC are managed by the Executive Board, Advisory Council and Fiscal Council, with some members appointed by the sponsors and others appointed as representatives of active and other participants, pursuant to the respective Entity’s bylaws. The main purpose of the EFPC is to pay benefits to eligible participants, pursuant to the Plan Regulation, maintaining the plans assets invested separately and independently from ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

c) Defined benefit plan

 

I - Main assumptions used in actuarial valuation of Retirement Plans

    12/31/2014   12/31/2013
Discount rate (1)   10.24% p.a.   9.72% p.a.
Mortality table (2)   AT-2000   AT-2000
Turnover (3)   Itaú Exp. 2008/2010   Itaú Exp. 2008/2010
Future salary growth   7.12 % p.a.   7.12% p.a.
Growth of the pension fund and social security benefits   4.00 % p.a.    4.00% p.a.  
Inflation   4.00 % p.a.    4.00% p.a.  
Actuarial method (4)   Projected Unit Credit    Projected Unit Credit  

(1) The adoption of this assumption is based on interest rates obtained from the actual interest curve in IPCA, for medium-term liabilities of retirement plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED. At 12/31/2013 was adopted a consistent with the economic scenario at the balance sheet date rate, considering the volatility of the interest markets and the models adopted.

(2) The mortality tables adopted correspond to those disclosed by SOA – Society of Actuaries, the North-American Entity which corresponds to IBA – Brazilian Institute of Actuarial Science, which reflects a 10% increase in the probabilities of survival compared to the respective basic tables.

The life expectancy in years per the AT-2000 mortality table for participants of 55 years of age is 27 and 31 years for men and women, respectively.

(3) The turnover assumption is based on the effective experience of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, resulting in the average of 2.4% p.a. based on the 2008/2010 experience.

(4) Using the Projected Unit Credit, the mathematical reserve is determined by the current projected benefit amount multiplied by the ratio between the length of service in the company at the assessment date and the length of service that will be reached at the date when the benefit is granted. The cost is determined taking into account the current projected benefit amount distributed over the years that each participant is employed.

 

Biometric/demographic assumptions adopted are consistent with the group of participants of each benefit plan, pursuant to the studies carried out by an independent external actuarial consulting company.

 

The main differences between the assumptions above and those adopted upon determination of the actuarial liability of defined benefit plans, for purposes of recording in the balance sheet of the closed-end private pension entities (EFPCs) that manage them, are the discount rate and the actuarial method. Regarding the discount rate assumption, EFPCs adopt a rate adherent to the flow of receipts/payments, in accordance with the study conducted by an independent, external consulting company. Regarding the actuarial method, the aggregate method is adopted, by which the mathematical reserve is defined based on the difference between the present value of the projected benefit and the present value of future contributions, subject to the methodology defined in the respective actuarial technical note.

 

II- Risk Exposure

 

Due to its defined benefit plans, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant ones are:

 

- Volatility of assets

 

The actuarial liability is calculated by adopting a discount rate defined based on the income from securities issued by the Brazilian treasury (government securities). If the actual income from plan investments is lower than expected, this may give rise to a deficit. The plans have a significant percentage of fixed-income securities pegged to the plan commitments, aiming at minimizing volatility and the short and medium-term risk.

 

- Changes in investment income

 

A decrease in income from public securities will imply a decrease in discount rate and, therefore, will increase the plan actuarial liability. The effect will be partially offset by the recognition of these securities at market value.

 

- Inflation risk

 

Most of plan benefits are pegged to the inflation rates, and a higher inflation will lead to higher obligations. The effect will also be partially offset because a significant portion of the plan assets is pegged to government securities restated by the inflation rate.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2014194
 

  

- Life expectancy

 

Most of the plan obligations are to provide life benefits and therefore a increase in life expectancy will result in increased plan liabilities.

 

III –Management of defined benefit plan assets

 

The general purpose of managing EFPC funds is to search for a long-term balance between assets and obligations with payment of retirement benefits, by exceeding the actuarial targets (discount rate plus benefit adjustment index, established in the plan regulations).

 

Regarding the assets guaranteeing the actuarial liability reserves, management should ensure the payment capacity of retirement benefits in the long-term by avoiding the risk of mismatching assets and liabilities in each pension plan.

 

At December 31, 2014 and 2013 the allocation of plan assets and the allocation target for 2015, by type of asset, are as follows:

 

   Fair value   % Allocation
Types  12/31/2014   12/31/2013   12/31/2014   12/31/2013   2015 Target
Fixed income securities   12,249,770    11,250,882    91.16%   89.92%  53% a 100%
Variable income securities   641,518    708,928    4.77%   5.67%  0% a 20%
Structured investments   22,119    17,615    0.17%   0.14%  0% a 10%
Real estate   487,730    508,216    3.63%   4.06%  0% a 7%
Loans to participants   36,620    26,429    0.27%   0.21%  0% a 5%
Total   13,437,757    12,512,070    100.00%   100.00%   

  

The defined benefit plan assets include shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, its main parent company (ITAÚSA) and of subsidiaries of the latter, with a fair value of R$ 554,278 (R$ 595,913 at 12/31/2013), and real estate rented to Group companies, with a fair value of R$ 454,738 (R$ 474,381 at 12/31/2013).

 

Fair value - the fair value of the plan assets is adjusted up to the report date, as follows:

 

Fixed-Income Securities and Structured Investments – accounted for at market value, considering the average trading price on the calculation date, net realizable value obtained upon the technical addition of pricing, considering, at least, the payment terms and maturity, credit risk and the indexing unit.

 

Variable income securities – accounted for at market value, being so understood the share average quotation at the last day of the month or at the closest date on the stock exchange on which the share has posted the highest liquidity rate.

 

Real Estate – stated at acquisition or construction cost, adjusted to market value upon reappraisals made in 2012, supported by technical appraisal reports. Depreciation is calculated under the straight line method, considering the useful life of the real estate.

 

Loans to participants – adjusted up to the report date, in compliance with the respective agreements.

 

Fund Allocation Target - the fund allocation target is based on Investment Policies that are currently revised and approved by the Advisory Council of each EFPC, considering a five-year period, which establishes guidelines for investing funds guaranteeing Actuarial Liability and for classifying securities.

 

IV- Net amount recognized in the balance sheet

 

Following is the calculation of the net amount recognized in the balance sheet, corresponding to the defined benefit plan:

 

   12/31/2014   12/31/2013

(1) Corresponds to the amount calculated on 01/01/2014 based on the beginning amount (Net Assets, Actuarial Liabilities and Restriction of Assets), taking into account the estimated amount of payments/ receipts of benefits/ contributions, multiplied by the discount rate of 9.72% p.a..(On 01/01/2013 the rate used was 8.16% a.a.).

(2) Remeasurements recorded in net assets and asset ceiling correspond to the income earned above/below the expected return rate.

(3) The actual return on assets amounted to R$ 1,610,153 ((R$ 1,905,389) at December 31, 2013).

 

During the period, contributions made totaled R$ 80,757 (R$ 68,569 from January 1 to December 31, 2013). The contribution rate increases based on the beneficiary’s salary.

 

In 2015, the expected contribution to retirement plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is R$ 58,566.

d)Defined contribution plans

 

The defined contribution plans have pension funds set up by the portion of sponsors’ contributions not included in the participant’s accounts balance and by the loss of eligibility to a plan benefit, as well as by resources from the migration from the defined benefit plans. The fund will be used for future contributions to the individual participants' accounts, according to the rules of the respective benefit plan regulation.

In the period, contributions to the defined contribution plans, including PGBL, totaled R$ 190,333 (R$ 183,126 from January 1 to December 31, 2013), of which R$ 132,623 (R$ 136,049 from January 1 to December 31, 2013) arises from pension funds.

 

e)Other post-employment benefits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED and its subsidiaries do not offer other post-employment benefits, except in those cases arising from obligations under acquisition agreements signed by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, as well as in relation to the benefits granted due to a judicial sentence, in accordance with the terms and conditions established, in which health plans are totally or partially sponsored for specific groups of former workers and beneficiaries.

 

Based on the reported prepared by an independent actuary, the changes in obligations for these other projected benefits and the amounts recognized in the balance sheet, under liabilities, of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are as follows:

 

I - Change in the net amount recognized in the balance sheet:

 

   12/31/2014   12/31/2013

2019   12,174 
2020 a 2024   73,039 

 

II - Sensitivity Analyses - Cost of Healthcare

 

For calculation of benefits obligations projected beyond the assumptions used for the defined benefit plans (Note 19c l), the 9.72% p.a. increase in medical costs assumption is adopted.

 

Assumptions for rates related to medical assistance costs have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in income. A change of one percentage point in the medical assistance cost rates would have the effects as follows:

 

   Recognition  1% increase   1% decrease 
Service cost and cost of interest  Income   2,174    (1,815)
Present value of obligation  Asset valuation adjustment   21,234    (17,723)

In compliance with CMN Resolution No. 3,988, BACEN Circular No. 3,547 and BACEN Circular Letter No. 3,565, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED implemented its capital management structure and its Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), having submitted its first ICAAP report to BACEN in September 2013, related to the June 2013 reporting date.

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s Market Risk Management Policy is in line with the principles of Resolution No. 3,464, issued by the National Monetary Council (CMN) (as amended), being a set of principles that drive the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED strategy towards control and management of market risk of all business units and legal entities of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

 

The document that details the guidelines set out by the corporate guidelines on market risk control, which is not part of the financial statements, can be read on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri, in the section Corporate Governance, Rules and Policies, Public Access Report – Market Risk.

·Political, economic and market conditions;
·The market risk profile of the portfolio; and
·Expertise within the group to support operations in specific markets.

 

The process for managing market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED occurs within the governance and hierarchy of committees and limits approved specifically for this purpose, sensitizing different levels and classes of market risk. This framework of limits covers the process from the monitoring of aggregate indicators of risk (portfolio level) to the monitoring of granular limits (individual desks level). These limits are designed considering the projected results of the balance sheet, size of equity, liquidity, complexity and volatility of the market expected performance and risk appetite of the institution, the level of equity and the profile of risk of each organization unit, which are defined in terms of risk measures used by management. Limits are monitored and controlled daily and excesses are reported and discussed in the corresponding committees. Additionally, daily risk reports used by the business and control areas, are shared with the executives.

 

The structure of limits and alerts follows the guidelines of the Board of Directors and is designed and approved by the Superior Risk Committee (CSRisc), after discussions and deliberations by the Superior Institutional Treasury Committee (CSTI). This structure of limits and alerts promotes efficiency and the control coverage is reviewed, at least annually.

 

The purpose of market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING structure is:

 

·Providing visibility and assurance to all executive levels that the assumption of market risks is in line with ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED and the risk-return objective;
·Promoting a disciplined and educated discussion on the global risk profile and its evolution over time;
·Increasing transparency on the way the business seeks to optimize results;
·Providing early warning mechanisms in order to make the effective risk management easier, without jeopardizing the business purposes; and
·Monitoring and avoiding risk concentration.

 

The market risk control and management process is submitted to periodic reviews aimed at keeping it aligned with the best market practices and adhering to the continuous improvement of processes at ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

 

The control of market risk is carried out by an area independent from the business units, and is responsible for carrying out daily measurement, assessment, monitoring of stress scenarios, limits and alerts, applying stress scenarios, analysis and testing, reporting risk results to those accountable for in the business units, in accordance with the governance established and monitoring the actions required adjust positions and/or risk level to make them feasible and provide support to the launch of new financial products.

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED hedges transactions with clients and proprietary positions, including its foreign investments, in order to mitigate risk arising from fluctuations in relevant market risk factors and maintaining the classification the transactions into the current exposure limits. Derivatives are commonly used for these hedging activities. When these transactions are classified as hedges for accounting purposes, specific supporting documentation is provided, including ongoing follow-up of hedge effectiveness (retrospective and prospective) and other changes in the accounting process. The accounting and managerial hedging procedures are governed by the institutional polices of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

 

Hedge accounting is treated in detail in the financial statement notes.

 

The market risk structure categorizes transactions as part of either the banking portfolio or the trading portfolio, in accordance with general criteria established by CMN Resolution No. 3.464 and BACEN Circular No. 3.354.

 

The trading portfolio consists of all qualifying transactions (including derivatives) held with intent to trade or to hedge risk within this portfolio, and that have no restriction.

 

The banking portfolio is basically characterized by transactions from the banking business, such as funding and loans, and also includes derivatives with eligible clients and transactions related to the management of the balance sheet of the institution, including by way of derivatives. It has the no-intention of resale and medium- and long-term time horizons as general guidelines.

 

The inherent exposures to market risk in various financial instruments, including derivatives, are composed of various risk factors. A risk factor refers to a market parameter whose variation impacts a position’s valuation. The main risk factors measured by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED are as follows:

 

·Interest rates: the risk of losses from transactions subject to interest rates variations;
·Foreign exchange-linked interest rate: the risk of losses arising from positions in transactions which are subject to a foreign exchange-linked interest rate;
·Foreign exchange rates: the risk of losses from positions subject to foreign exchange rate variation;
·Price index-linked: the risk of losses from transactions subject to the variations in the price of index-linked interest rates;
·Variable income: risk of loss subject to variation in prices of shares and commodities;

 

CMN has specific rules establishing that the exposure to market risk must be segregated at the least into the following categories: Interest rates, foreign exchange rates, shares and commodities. Price indexes are treated as a risk factor group and are granted the same treatment given to other risk factors, such as interest rates, and foreign exchange rates, among others, and follow the same limit and risk governance structure adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED for market risk management purposes.

 

The market risk analyses are conducted based on the following metrics:

 

·Value at risk (VaR): statistical measure that estimates the expected maximum potential economic loss under normal market conditions, considering a certain time horizon and confidence level;
·Losses in stress scenarios: simulation technique to assess the behavior of assets and liabilities and derivatives of a portfolio when several risk factors are taken to extreme market situations (based on prospective and historical scenarios);
·Stop loss: metrics which purpose is to review positions, should losses accumulated in a certain period reach a certain amount;
·Concentration: cumulative exposure of a certain financial instrument or risk factor calculated at market value (“MtM – Mark to Market”);

II – Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the possibility of losses arising from the breach by the borrower, issuer or counterparty of the respective agreed-upon financial obligations, the devaluation of loan agreement due to downgrading of the borrower’s, the issuer’s, the counterparty’s risk rating, the reduction in gains or compensation, the advantages given upon posterior renegotiation and the recovery costs.

 

The credit risk management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s is the primary responsibility of all business units and aims to keep the quality of loan portfolios in levels consistent with the institution’s risk appetite for each market segment in which it operates.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED establishes its credit policy based on internal factors, such as the client rating criteria and portfolio development analysis, the registered default levels, the incurred return rates, and the allocated economic capital; and external factors, related to the economic environment in Brazil and abroad, including market share, interest rates, market default indicators, inflation, and consumption increase/decrease.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s centralized process for making decisions and establishing a credit policy guarantees the synchrony of credit actions.

 

To protect the institution against losses arising from loan operations, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED considers all aspects that determine the client’s credit risk to define a provision level that is adequate with the risk incurred in each operation. For each operation, the assessment and rating of the client or economic group, the operation rating, and the possible existence of past-due amounts are taken into account and the volume of the regulatory provision is determined.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED recognizes a provision additional to that required by BACEN, aiming at ensuring a provision level compatible with the expected loss model adopted by the institution's credit risk management, based on internal models of measurement of credit risk. This allowance is usually quantified in view of the past performance of loan portfolios, based on exposure, probabilities of default and expected recovery, in case of transactions default.

 

In line with the principles of CMN Resolution No. 3,721 of April 30, 2009, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a structure for and institutional norm on credit risk management, approved by its Board of Directors, applicable to the companies and subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad.

 

The document that outlines the guidelines set out by this internal policy on credit risk control, which is not part of the financial statements, can be read on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri, in the section Corporate Governance, Rules and Policies, Public Access Report – Credit Risk.

 

III – Operational risk

 

For ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses from failure of, insufficient or inadequate internal processes, people and systems, or from external events impacting the realization of strategic, tactical or operational objectives. It includes the legal risk, associated with the inadequacy or deficiency in agreements signed by the institution, as well as sanctions for failing to meet legal provisions and compensation for damages to third parties arising from activities performed by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

 

The management structure seeks to identify, evaluate, mitigate, monitor and report the operational risk for the purpose of assuring that the quality of the control environment is compliant with the internal guidelines and regulation currently in force.

 

The managers of executive areas use corporate methodologies that are built and made available by the internal control, compliance and operational risk area.

 

Within the governance of the management process there are specific forums to address operational risk, internal control and compliance where periodically there are consolidated reports on risk monitoring, controls, action plans and operational losses presented to the executives of the business areas.

A summarized version of such policy, which is not part of the financial statements, is available on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri in the section Corporate Governance, Rules and Policies, Public Access Report – Operational risk.

 

IV – Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the institution’s possibility of not being able to efficiently meet its expected and unexpected obligations, both current and future, including those arising from the pledged guarantees, without affecting its daily operations and without incurring significant losses.

 

Liquidity risk control is carried out by an area independent from the business areas, and which is responsible for defining the constitution of a reserve, proposing assumptions for behavior of cash flow, identifying, assessing, monitoring, controlling and reporting, on a daily basis, the exposure to liquidity risks in different time horizons, proposing limits for liquidity risk and monitoring the established limits consistent with the risk appetite of the institution, informing on possible noncompliance, considering the liquidity risks individually in countries where ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED operates, simulating the behavior of cash flow under stress conditions, assessing and reporting risks inherent in new products and transactions in a timely fashion, and reporting information required by regulatory bodies. Every activity is subject to analysis by independent areas of validation, internal controls and audit.

 

The measurement of liquidity risk covers all financial transactions of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED companies, as well as possible contingent or unexpected exposures, such as those arising from settlement services, pledge of endorsements and sureties and credit facilities contracted and not used.

 

The document that expresses the guidelines set forth by the internal policy on liquidity risk, that is not part of the financial statements, may be viewed on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri, in the section Corporate Governance, Rules and Policies, Public Access Report - Liquidity Risk.

 

V - Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Risks

 

The products that make up the portfolios of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s insurance companies are related to the life insurance and elementary, pension plan and capitalization lines. Therefore, we understand that the major risks inherent in these products are as follows:

 

·Subscription risk is the possibility of losses arising from operations of insurance, pension plan and capitalization that go against the organization’s expectations, directly or indirectly associated with the technical and actuarial bases adopted to calculate premiums, contributions and provisions.
·Market risk is the possibility of incurring losses due to fluctuations in the market values of assets and liabilities comprising the actuarial technical reserves,
·Credit risk is the possibility of a certain debtor failing to meet any obligations in connection with the settlement of operations involving the trade of financial assets or reinsurance;
·Operational risk is the possibility of incurring losses arising from the failure, deficiency or inadequacy or internal processes, personnel and systems, or external events impacting the achievement of strategic, tactical or operational purposes of the insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations;
·Liquidity risk in insurance operations is the possibility of the institution’s failure to timely meet its obligations with insured and pension plan beneficiaries in view of lack of liquidity of the assets comprising the actuarial technical reserves.

 

The management process of insurance, pension plan and capitalization risks is based on responsibilities defined and communicated between the control and business areas, assuring independence between them.

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (the “Bank”) stand alone, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2014 and the statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year and six-month period then ended, as well as the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Consolidated”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2014 and the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the year and six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Independent Auditor’s responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2014, and the financial performance and cash flows, as well as the consolidated financial performance and cash flows, for the year and six-month period then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN).

Based on the information brought to its attention, the Audit Committee considers as positive the efforts that have been made to ensure the constant improvement of the existing internal controls and risk management systems.

 

As part of its responsibilities, the Committee has been monitoring various issues through meetings with the respective officers. Worthy of note are: Itaú Unibanco’s actions in the process of alignment with Basel II and in the implementation of the requirements of Basel III, controls associated with information technology and security, controls over contingencies– mainly those where risk and value involved are higher - and the processes related to credit risk, including provisioning.

 

The Committee also considers that the approach of the Organization for the use of internal models as required by Basel II is well established and properly focused.

 

Compliance with Legislation, Regulatory Requirements and the Internal Policies and Procedures

 

The Audit Committee considers that the duties and responsibilities, as well as the procedures for assessing and monitoring legal risks are established and continue to be followed in accordance with the corporate guidelines. Based on the information brought to its attention from the responsible areas, on the work performed by Internal Audit and on the reports prepared by external auditors, the Audit Committee concludes that no deficiencies were identified in the compliance with legislation, regulatory requirements and internal policies and procedures that might pose risks to the continuity of the Organization.
