It should be noted that the managerial financial statements relating to prior periods may have been reclassified for comparison purposes.

 

The tables in this report show the figures in millions. Variations and totals, however, are calculated in units. Therefore, there may be differences due to rounding.

 

Future expectations arising from the reading of this analysis should take into consideration the risks and uncertainties that involve any activities and that are outside the control of the companies of the conglomerate (political and economic changes, volatility in interest and foreign exchange rates, technological changes, inflation, financial disintermediation, competitive pressures on products, prices and changes in tax legislation, among others).

Non-Recurring Events of 2015 and 2014

 

(a) Social Contribution Rate Increase: Effect on the balance of the social contribution tax credit resulting from the rate increase from 15% to 20% as established by Provisional Measure No. 675/15 of May 2015 (converted into Law No. 13,169/15 in October 2015).

 

(b) Complementary Provision for Loan Losses: Complementary provision for loan losses to the minimum required by Resolution No. 2,682/99 of the National Monetary Council mainly due to a more challenging economic environment.

 

(c) Contingencies Provision: Recognition of provisions for tax and social security lawsuits and losses arising from economic plans that were in effect in Brazil during the 1980's.

 

(d) Financial Leasing Accounting Change: Regarding financial leasing contracts related to the new Technology Center implementation.

 

(e) Pension Fund: Provision to settle the surplus of the defined contribution pension fund in accordance with the regulation.

 

(f) Goodwill Amortization: Effect of the goodwill amortization generated by acquisitions made by the Conglomerate.

(l) IRB: Favorable decision effect on the increase of the PIS/COFINS calculation basis of IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A.

 

(m) 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.

 

Managerial Income Statement

 

We apply 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 ("Accounting and Managerial Statements Reconciliation"). Additionally, we adjusted 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 events.

 

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 2015, the Brazilian real appreciated 1.7% against the U.S. dollar and of 4.2% against the Euro, compared with depreciations of 28.1% and 28.2%, respectively, in the previous quarter.

 

Highlights

 

On December 31, 2015, we entered into an agreement by which we agreed to acquire a 81.94% stake in the equity stock of Recovery do Brasil Consultoria S.A. and 70% of a R$38 billion portfolio in credit rights associated with portfolio recovery activities, resulting from credits mainly originated from market banks.

 

After obtaining applicable regulatory authorizations and the compliance of certain suspension conditions, we will pay R$640 million for the stake in the equity stock of Recovery and R$ 570 million for the stake in the credit rights portfolio.

Management Discussion & Analysis Executive Summary

 

Net Income

 

 

Recurring net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 amounted to R$5,773 million, representing a 5.6% decrease from the previous quarter and a 2.0% increase from the same period of the previous year.

 

Compared to the previous quarter, the highlights were the increases of 1.1% in the financial margin with clients, of 7.9% in our commissions and fees and of 35.4% in recovery of credits written off as losses. These increases were more than offset by the decrease of 44.2% in our financial margin with the market, the increase of 6.4% in provision for loan losses and the increase of 1.9% in our non-interest expenses.

 

In 2015, recurring net income was R$23,832 million, 15.6% higher compared to the previous year. The increase in net income was mainly due to an increase of 15.7% in operating revenues, partially offset by the increases of 26.7% in the provision for loan losses and of 8.8% in non-interest expenses.

 

Return on Average Equity

 

 

The annualized recurring return on average equity reached 22.3% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Stockholders’ equity reached R$106.5 billion, a 3.0% increase compared to the previous quarter and an 11.1% increase from the same period of the previous year.

The main components of operating revenues and other items of income statement are presented below.

 

 

Managerial Financial Margin

 

The managerial financial margin for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled R$16,764 million, a decrease of R$831 million compared to the third quarter of 2015, mainly due to the decrease of R$1,007 million in our financial margin with the market. Our financial margin with clients increased R$176 million in the quarter.

 

 

Compared to 2014, managerial financial margin increased R$11,402 million. This growth was due to the increases of R$8,020 million in financial margin with clients and of R$3,382 million in financial margin with the market.

 

Financial Margin of Spread-Sensitive Operations, net of the Provision from Loan Losses

 

Our financial margin of spread-sensitive operations, net of provision for loan losses and recovery of loans written off as losses, increased 0.5% from the fourth quarter of 2014 and 3.2% when compared to the third quarter of 2015. The ratio of the provision for loan losses, net of recovery of loans written off as losses, to the spread-sensitive operations financial margin reached 34.0% this quarter, decreasing 80 basis points when compared to the previous quarter.

Management Discussion & Analysis Executive Summary

 

Result from Loan Losses

 

 

The result from loan losses decreased 0.4% when compared to the previous quarter, totaling R$4,634 million in the quarter. This decrease was mainly due to the increase of 35.4% (R$387 million) in our revenues from recovery of loans written off as losses, partially offset by an increase of 6.4% (R$369 million) in provision for loan losses.

 

In 2015, the result from loan losses reached R$18,129 million, a 39.2% increase when compared to the previous year, mainly due to higher provisions for loan losses (26.7%).

 

Commissions and Fees

 

 

Commissions and fees increased R$563 million (7.9%) from the previous quarter, totaling R$7,645 million. Compared to the previous year, these revenues grew R$2,723 million (10.6%).

 

Result from Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds

 

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the result from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds from core activities, which consist of mass-market products related to life, property, credit, pension plan and premium bonds reached R$1,455 million, a decrease of R$14 million when compared to the previous quarter and an increase of R$88 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. The loss ratio of core activities reached 29.4% this quarter.

 

Non-Interest Expenses

 

 

Non-interest expenses increased 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2015 when compared to the third quarter of 2015. Personnel expenses decreased R$112 million, whereas administrative expenses increased R$208 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 when compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to expenses on third-party services, data processing and telecommunications.

 

Compared to 2014, non-interest expenses increased R$3,403 million, up 8.8% from the same period of the previous year. Excluding operations abroad expenses, the increase would have been 6.2% in the period.

 

Efficiency Ratio and Risk-Adjusted Efficiency Ratio (*)

In the fourth quarter of 2015, efficiency ratio, according to the criteria that include all expenses except result from loan losses, reached 45.5%, an increase of 130 basis points compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to the decrease in financial margin with the market (44.2%) combined with the increase in our non-interest expenses (1.9%). In the 12-month period, the efficiency ratio reached 44.0%, improving 20 basis points from the previous quarter and 300 basis points from the same period of the previous year.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio, which also includes the result from loan losses, reached 64.5%, an increase of 140 basis points when compared to the previous quarter, due to a decrease in the provision for loan losses (0.4%), in addition to the effects previously mentioned. In the 12-month period, risk-adjusted efficiency ratio reached 63.0%.

On December 31, 2015, R$147.1 billion of our total credit assets were denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies. That portion decreased 3.5% in the quarter, mainly due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar and the currencies of other Latin American countries.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, the NPL ratio for operations overdue for over 90 days (NPL 90) increased 20 basis points when compared to the previous quarter and 40 basis points compared to December 2014. At the end of the fourth quarter, there were transfers of financial assets with no risk retention and with low probability of recovery, to affiliated company, related to specific economic groups.

Managerial Financial Margin with Clients

 

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

 

For clarity purposes, we classify these operations into two different groups: i) financial margin on spread-sensitive operations and ii) working capital and other.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, financial margin with clients totaled R$15,495 million, an increase of 1.1% when compared to the previous quarter, due to the increased margin on spread-sensitive operations, which was higher than the reduction in the margin of working capital and other.

 

In 2015, our financial margin with clients totaled R$59,580 million, an increase of 15.6% when compared to 2014, due to the higher margin of spread-sensitive operations and of working capital and other.

 

Spread-Sensitive Operations

 

The financial margin of spread-sensitive operations, which includes the results from credit assets, non-credit assets and liabilities, totaled R$13,629 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 2.0%, or R$262 million when compared to the previous period.

 

In 2015, the financial margin of spread-sensitive operations reached R$52,720 million and increased 14.1% or R$6,500 million when compared to the previous year.

Average Rate ( p.a. )   11.0%   10.8%        20bps

 

 

 

Working Capital and Other

 

The financial margin of working capital and other reached R$1,866 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a 4.4% decrease when compared to the third quarter of 2015, mainly due to the lower average CDI rate in the quarter.

Managerial Financial Margin with the 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 2015 totaled R$1,269 million, driven by the management of structural positions in Brazil and abroad.

Composition of the Change in the Financial Margin with Clients

 

In order to better demonstrate the effect of the changes in our financial margin, we segregated the effects of changes in the balance of spread-sensitive operations, mix of products, clients and spreads and working capital and other effects.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the 1.1% increase in our financial margin with clients was mainly driven by the positive effect of the mix of products, clients and spreads, which more than offset the negative effect of the lower volume of spread-sensitive operations and the decrease in working capital margin and other.

Credit Concentration

 

Our loan, lease and other credit 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 the fourth quarter of 2015. The credit concentration of the 100 largest debtors (group consolidated) is as follows:

 

In R$ millions, end of period  Risk   % of total
credits
   % of total
Assets
 
Largest Debtor   4,754    0.9    0.3 
10 Largest Debtors   35,526    6.5    2.6 
20 Largest Debtors   55,185    10.1    4.1 
50 Largest Debtors   92,745    16.9    6.8 
100 Largest Debtors   123,664    22.6    9.1 

 

Renegotiated 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 a better understanding, we segregate renegotiated loans into those that had changes in the original contractual terms, but were not overdue or were less than 30 days overdue, and into those that had credits renegotiated when overdue more than 30 days, as shown below:

 

In R$ millions, end of period  Portfolio   LLP   % 
Total Renegotiated Loans Operations   22,951    (7,792)   33.9%
Renegotiated Loans Operations less than 30 days overdue*   (8,020)   1,417    17.7%
Renegotiated Loans Operations over 30 days overdue*   14,932    (6,375)   42.7%

 

* Measured at the moment of renegotiation.

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

 

Total renegotiated loan operations include all operations under renegotiation, either non overdue, overdue, or coming from the recovery of loans written off as losses. In the case of write-offs, we recognize a provision for the total amount renegotiated (therefore 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).

 

On December 31, 2015, total renegotiated loans reached R$22,951 million, with an increase of R$1,049 million when compared to the previous quarter, while loans that were overdue for more than 30 days when renegotiated totaled R$14,932 million, an increase of R$1,391 million.

 

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, total renegotiated loans accounted for 4.8% of our loan portfolio, whereas renegotiated loans overdue for more than 30 days accounted for 3.2% of this portfolio. The following chart presents this change:

 

 

 

The NPL 90 of renegotiated loans overdue for more than 30 days reached 18.8% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, and the coverage ratio of these loans overdue for more than 90 days reached 228%. The evolution of these ratios is presented below:

 

 

 

Loan Portfolio by Origination Period

 

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

 

 

 

Given the profile of the terms of our different credit products, the composition of new contract vintages also showed a similar profile over the past periods. At the end of December 2015, 57.3% of the loan portfolio was composed of vintages of 2015.

 

Sale and Transfer of Financial Assets

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, there were transfers of financial assets with no risk retention, to affiliated company, of R$1,249 million and with a 75% average provision. Due to lower probability of recovery, these credits were transferred for the amount of R$301 million, based on appraisal report. This operation generated a negative impact on income before taxes of R$15 million. In addition, R$17 million was provisioned and the combined negative impact on net income was R$17 million.

 

The bank also transferred assets to non-affiliated companies in the amount of R$946 million, which positively impacted net income by R$45 million. These operations are mainly related to non-overdue student loan portfolios from our operations in Chile, in accordance with local legislation.

 

Additionally, we sold portfolios that were already written off as losses. This sale positively impacted our net income by R$29 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Loan Portfolio Mix Evolution in Brazil (excluding endorsements and sureties)

 

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

 

Loan Portfolio Mix - Companies

 

The proportion of credits to very small, small and middle market companies has decreased when compared to credits to 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 past periods shows the growth of the payroll loan and mortgage loan portfolios, which currently represent the second and third largest balances in our individuals portfolio. The decrease in the share of vehicle financing is a result of the nominal balance reduction of this portfolio.

 

 

 

We present below additional information about Payroll Loans, Mortgage Loans and Vehicle Financing.

 

Payroll Loans

 

We operate in the payroll loans 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 aimed at offering, distributing and marketing payroll loans. This operation started in December 2012 and enables us to expand our business in this segment, based on 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 2015, total payroll loans reached R$45,437 million, a 12.1% (R$4,912 million) increase in 12 months. The highlights were the portfolio of loans to retirees and pensioners of the INSS and to public servants, which, together, grew 13.7% compared to the end of December 2014.

 

Payroll loans originated by the branch network totaled R$16,167 million on December 31, 2015, a 15.9% increase in 12 months, whereas payroll loans originated by other channels reached R$29,271 million, up 10.1% compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

Evolution of Payroll Loan Portfolio

 

 

 

Our strategy of higher growth in the INSS Beneficiaries segment, combined with the credit policies adopted, allowed the portfolio growth to be followed by a low delinquency level over the last two years. A slower pace of the portfolio growth drove the recent increase in 90-day NPL.

 

90-day NPL ratio (Mar -12 = 100) | Total Payroll Loan Portfolio

 

 

 

Note: Comparable to the National Financial System information disclosed by the Brazilian Central Bank.

 

Evolution of the Share of Payroll Loans in Personal Loans

 

The increase in the payroll loans balance allowed for a higher share of the personal loans, which reached 61.1% in this period from 58.7% in December 2014.

 

 

 

Mortgage Loans

 

Our mortgage portfolio reached R$45.597 million at the end of December 2015. Our portfolio grew 2.4% in the quarter and 16.2% in the past 12 months. The individuals portfolio, totaling R$34,631 million at the end of this quarter, increased 3.4% when compared to the previous quarter and 19.8% in twelve months. At the end of December 2015, the companies portfolio totaled R$10,966 million, a 0.5% decrease from the previous quarter and a 6.1% increase in the past twelve months.

Our individual mortgage loan portfolio collaterals are under the legal framework of fiduciary lien (alienação fiduciária) and account for 99.6% of the portfolio. Since 2007, we have been using this framework for 100% of our contracts.

 

Our new financing contracts use the Constant 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) at a faster pace than other amortization systems.

 

The portfolio loan-to-value (LTV) reached 43.7% at the end of December 2015, an increase of 130 basis points when compared to December 2014.

 

The average quarterly LTV of the originated vintages reached 55.3%, down 190 basis points from the LTV of vintages originated in the third quarter of 2015 and down 430 basis points from the same period of 2014.

 

Loan–to-value | Vintage and Portfolio

 

 

 

In the current period, the 90-day NPL of the vintages originated in June 2015 reached 0.16%, remaining at levels that demonstrates the high credit quality of the portfolio.

Result from loan losses (provision, net of recovery of loans written off as losses) totaled R$4,634 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a 0.4% decrease when compared to the previous quarter. Provision for loan losses was up 6.4% when compared to the previous quarter, whereas revenues from recovery of loans written off as losses increased 35.4% from the previous quarter.

 

The increase in recovery of loans written off as losses compared to the third quarter was mainly due to the restructuring of one operation of a specific group of the corporate segment that had already been written off as a loss. This restructuring totaled R$488 million, of which R$283 million refers to financial assets received and R$205 million to a new loan operation which was booked with 100% of provision in accordance to the current regulation. There was a negative adjust of R$125 million in the financial margin with the market to adjust to market value the financial asset received. This operation generated an effect of R$158 million before taxes and of R$87 million in our net income.

 

In 2015, the result from loan losses totaled R$18,129 million, with a 39.2% increase from 2014. This increase was mainly driven by higher provision for loan losses, which totaled R$22,898 million in the period, mainly due to increases in provisions for economic groups of the corporate segment in 2015. Additionally, income from recovery of loans written off as losses amounted to R$4,769 million in 2015, a 5.5% decrease when compared to 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Portfolio

The allowance for loan losses grew mainly due to the recognition of complementary allowance, in the amount of R$4,655 million in 2015.

 

The decrease in the allowance for loan losses in the quarter was mainly a result of a transfer of financial assets with no risk retention, to affiliated company, related to operations of specific economic groups that happened in December 2015. The balance of these operations was partially provided for (F, G and H ratings) at the time of the transfer and, therefore, our net income was negatively impacted by approximately R$17 million.

 

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses without complementary allowance to the loan portfolio balance reached 4.9% on December 31, 2015, a 30-basis-point increase in twelve months.

 

The balance of the complementary allowance includes provisions recognized for endorsements and sureties, which totaled R$404 million.

Coverage Ratio | 90 days

 

 

Note: Coverage ratio is derived from the division of the allowance for loans losses balance by the balance of operations more than 90 days overdue.

 

The 90-day coverage ratio reached 208% on December 31, 2015, a 600 basis point decrease compared to the previous quarter and up 1,500 basis points from December 2014, mainly due to the increase in complementary allowance of R$4,655 million recognized in the third quarter of 2015. Had we not transferred the financial assets mentioned on page 19 of this report, the coverage ratio would have reached 198% in December 2015.

 

Loan Portfolio Risk Level

 

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

 

We improved the guarantee control system (vehicles, mortgage loans, financial investments, among others) to capture the updated market values for these individual operations. Therefore, operations with guarantees where the updated amount exceeds the debt balance are classified at better risk levels. On the other hand, operations with guarantees where the updated amount is insufficient to mitigate the entire risk are classified at worse risk levels.

 

On December 31, 2015, the portfolios rated “AA” and “A” accounted for 79.6% of the total loan portfolio.

 

Total loans rated from “D” to “H” accounted for 8.7% of total loans, 30 basis points higher compared to the previous quarter.

The increase in the quarter was mainly driven by the recovery of loans written off as losses of a specific group in the corporate segment that amounted R$488 million.

 

Additionally we sold portfolios that were already written off as losses. This operation generated an impact on recovery of loans written off as losses of R$53 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The impact of this sale on the net income was R$29 million.

The disclosure of the results from Itaú Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds is broken down into Core Activities and Other Activities.

 

As of the third quarter of 2015, the capital allocation criteria for insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations, started to use the managerial model, which is based on the BACEN regulatory model, that replaced the SUSEP regulatory model.

 

In order to maintain comparability, the information was reprocessed as of the second quarter of 2014.

 

Sales Cost Model

 

Itaú Unibanco’s practice is to allocate the selling costs to all of our products and services based on the corresponding utilization of each channel (full allocation method). For that reason, 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 for the insurance segment. This practice has both accounting and managerial effects.

Efficiency Ratio and Risk-Adjusted Efficiency Ratio

 

We present the efficiency ratio and the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio, which includes the risk portions associated with banking transactions (result from loan losses).

 

 

Risk-Adjusted
Efficiency Ratio
= Non-Interest Expenses (Personnel Expenses + Administrative Expenses + Operating Expenses + Other Expenses) + Result from Loan Losses
(Managerial Financial Margin + Commissions and Fees + Result of Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds - Tax Expenses for ISS, PIS, Cofins and Other Taxes)

 

Efficiency Ratio

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, efficiency ratio reached 45.5%, an increase of 130 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2015. This increase was mainly due to the decrease in financial margin with the market and the increase in non-interest expenses. In the 12-month period, efficiency ratio reached 44.0%, an improvement of 20 basis points from the previous quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, this ratio improved 300 basis points.

 

Risk-Adjusted Efficiency Ratio

 

The risk-adjusted efficiency ratio, in the criteria including all expenses and also the result from loan losses, reached 64.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 140 basis points compared to the previous quarter, mainly as a result of the decrease in the financial margin with the market.

 

When compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio increased 290 basis points mainly due to the increase of 32.6% in provision for loan losses and of 9.9% in non-interest expenses.

 

In the 12-month period, the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio reached 63.0%, an increase of 10 basis points from the same period of 2014.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, total funds from clients, including interbank deposits, amounted to R$1.5 trillion, corresponding to an increase of R$44,301 million compared to the third quarter of 2015. The main drivers were increases of R$17,484 million in funds from bills and structured operations certificates, R$16,575 million in debentures, and R$15,346 million in investment funds and managed portfolios, which were partially offset by the decrease of R$8,269 in time deposits.

 

Debentures issued by leasing companies of the conglomerate, after being purchased by the bank (the Conglomerate’s parent company), are negotiated with similar 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. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, this type of funding totaled R$152,215 million.

 

Total funds (working capital, raised and managed assets) amounted to R$1.9 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of R$66,372 million compared to the end of the third quarter of 2015, mainly driven by a combination of the increases in funds from clients, repurchase agreements, foreign exchange portfolio and borrowings.

 

In the 12-month period, we highlight the increase of R$147,520 million in funds from clients, including interbank deposits, mainly due to the increase in investment funds and managed portfolios, technical provisions for insurance, pension plan and premium bonds, bills and structured operations certificates and demand deposits. Total funds (working capital, raised and managed assets) increased R$231,105 million in the 12-month period.

Management Discussion & Analysis

Balance Sheet by Currency 

 

We adopted a management policy for foreign exchange risk associated with our asset and liability positions 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 arising from financial instruments used to hedge such asset positions are impacted by tax effects. Therefore, in order not to expose net income to 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. As at December 31, 2015, the net exchange position was a liability of US$11,066 million.

Itaú Unibanco’s minimum capital requirements are in accordance with the set of rules disclosed by the Brazilian Central Bank, which implement the Basel III global capital requirements in Brazil. These requirements are expressed as ratios of the capital available – demonstrated by the Tier I and Tier II Referential Equity, or Total Capital - to risk-weighted assets.

 

As of the first quarter of 2015, these ratios are reported in the Prudential Conglomerate, which includes not only the financial institutions in the Financial Conglomerate (in effect through December 2014), but also similar institutions(*).

 

Referential Equity | Prudential Conglomerate

 

On December 31, 2015, our Referential Equity reached R$128,465 million, an increase of R$3,702 million compared to September 30, 2015, mainly driven by a higher Tier I Capital, which reached R$101,001 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of R$5,637 million compared to September 30, 2015. Tier II Capital totaled R$27,464 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of R$1,935 million from September 30, 2015.

 

Taking into consideration our current capital base, if we immediately fully applied the Basel III rules established by the Brazilian Central Bank, our core capital (Common Equity Tier I) would be 13.6% on December 31, 2015, including the use of all tax credits. This scenario is presented in the following chart.

 

Estimated Core Capital Ratio (Common Equity Tier I)

 

 

1 Includes deductions of Goodwill, Intangible Assets, Tax Credits from Temporary Differences and Tax Loss, Pension Fund Assets, Equity Investments in Financial Institutions, Insurance and similar companies. 2 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 be to 12.5 in 2019. 3 Does not include any reversal of the complementary allowance for loan losses.

 

Solvency Ratios | Prudential Conglomerate

 

On December 31, 2015, our BIS ratio reached 17.8%, an increase of 170 basis points from September 30, 2015. This increase was driven by the higher referential equity, mainly impacted by the net income for the period and by the decrease in the balance of tax credits. The BIS ratio increase was also due to the decrease in RWA, which, in addition to being impacted by tax credits, is influenced by the entry into force of Circular No. 3,770 of the Brazilian Central Bank and the decrease in the loan portfolio.

 

Our BIS ratio exceeds the minimum of 11% required by the Brazilian Central Bank and represents an excess capital of R$49.0 billion, allowing for an increase of up to R$445.4 billion in credit assets based on 100% risk-weighting.

 

In addition to the minimum capital requirements, as of this quarter Circular No. 3,748 of the Brazilian Central Bank comes into effect, adding a Leverage Ratio to the Basel III framework in Brazil, which is defined as the ratio of Tier I Capital to Total Exposure (calculated based on this Circular). On December 31, 2015, the Leverage Ratio reached 7.9%.

 

Subordinated Debt and Referential Equity Tier II

 

December 31, 2015

 

 

On December 31, 2015, the account balance of the subordinated debt reached R$65,785 million, a 0.2% decrease from the previous quarter, mainly due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, which impacted the balance of debts issued in foreign currency.

 

(*) Similar institutions include consortium managers, payment institutions, companies that acquire operations or directly or indirectly assume credit risk, and investment funds in which the conglomerate substantially retains risks and benefits. (**) In accordance with the present rules, we calculated the Referential Equity considering the balance of Subordinated Debt for December 2012.

¹ Includes the application of the “F” factor, as required by Article 29 of Circular No. 3,644/13.

 

On December 31, 2015, total risk-weighted exposure amounted to R$722,468 million, a decrease of R$52,194 million compared to September 30, 2015, mainly due to the reduction of the credit risk-weighted assets (RWACPAD), which reached R$679,593 million on December 31, 2015. This change was mainly driven by the entry into force of Circular No. 3,770 of the Brazilian Central Bank, and to the reduction of tax credits and loan operation balances due to foreign exchange variations.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the operational risk-weighted assets (RWAOPAD) reached R$28,623 million, remaining stable compared to September 30, 2015. The RWAOPAD is calculated every six months, according to Circulars Nos. 3,640, 3,675 and 3,739 of the Brazilian Central Bank.

 

On December 31, 2015, market risk-weighted assets (RWAMPAD) totaled R$14,252 million, a decrease of R$2,811 million compared to September 30, 2015, mainly due to the reduced portion required for exposure to gold, foreign currency and operations subject to exchange rate variation (RWACAM).

Risk-weighted ROA

 

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the annualized recurring return on average assets reached 1.7%, a decrease of 20 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

Annualized recurring return on risk-weighted assets reached 3.1% in the quarter, up 10 basis points from the same period of the previous year.

 

In this period, the risk-weighted leverage was 5.6, a decrease of 60 basis points from the previous quarter, mainly driven by a lower total risk-weighted exposure (RWA).

Management Discussion & Analysis

Risk Management 

 

Corporate Principles of Risk and Capital Management

 

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

 

Risk management covers the entire institution and is in line with the guidelines of the Board of Directors and Senior Management, which, through Superior Committees, 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 through monitoring processes and risk and capital analysis.

 

We adopt a prospective approach regarding capital management, and, through the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), we assess the sufficiency of regulatory capital to cover our risks, represented by the regulatory capital for credit, market and operational risks, as well as the capital required to cover other risks. The ICAAP process comprises the following phases: identification of material risks, definition of additional capital requirement to material risks and of internal methodologies for capital quantification; preparation of the capital plan, for normal and stress situations; and structuring the capital contingency plan.

 

For further 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 and Capital– Pillar 3.

 

Credit Risk

 

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

 

The credit risk control is centralized and is carried out by a department that is independent from the business units and responsible for risk control. The main responsibilities include monitoring and controlling the performance of loan portfolios, and managing the process of development, review and approval of institutional credit risk policies. Our 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 of decision-making processes, always aiming at the proper identification and evaluation of risks, the creation of value for shareholders, as well as the protection of our assets and image.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the possibility that we will fail to efficiently meet expected and unexpected, current and future obligations, including those related to 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 for endorsements and sureties and lines of credit raised but not used.

 

Market Risk

 

Our market risk is controlled by a department that is independent of the business units and responsible for carrying out, on a daily basis: (i) risk measurement and assessment, (ii) monitoring of stress scenarios, limits and alerts, (iii) applying, analyzing and testing stress scenarios, (iv) reporting risk results to those accountable for in the business units, in accordance with our governance, (v) monitoring the actions required to adjust positions and/or risk levels to make them viable, and (vi) supporting the safe launch of new financial products. 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

 

Our Consolidated VaR is calculated based on the “Historical Simulation” approach. This methodology fully reprices the positions using the real historical distribution of assets.

 

The market risk exposure of the portfolios of Itaú Unibanco and its foreign subsidiaries is presented in the VaR by Risk Factor Group table below, which shows where the higher concentrations of market risk occur.

 

The decrease in the total VaR compared to the previous quarter is mainly due to the decrease in market volatility.

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 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 2015, we changed the presentation of our segments in order to reflect them with the bank’s current organizational structure. We report the following segments: (a) Retail Banking, (b) Wholesale Banking and (d) Activities with the Market + Corporation. Retail Banking include the previous Commercial Banking – Retail and Consumer Credit – Retail segments, with the transfer of the Private Bank and Latam operations to the Wholesale Banking.

 

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 with the market, costs of Treasury operations, the equity pickup of companies not linked to each segment and our stake in Porto Seguro.

 

Allocated Capital

 

Impacts related to capital allocation are included in the Pro Forma financial statements. 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 and, as of 2015, we changed our calculation methodology. In addition to the Tier I allocated capital, the EAC model includes the effects of the calculated expected loan losses, complementary to that required by the Brazilian Central Bank through CMN Circular No. 2,682/99.

 

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

 

Based on Tier I capital measure we determined the Return on Allocated Capital, which corresponds to an operational performance ratio consistently adjusted to the required capital needed to support the risks of the financial positions assumed in accordance with our risk appetite.

 

Income Tax Rate

 

We adopt the full income tax rate, net of the tax effect of payment of interest on capital, for the Retail Banking, Wholesale Banking and Activities with the Market + Corporation segments. The difference between the income tax amount determined for each segment and the effective income tax amount, as stated in the consolidated financial statements, is stated in the column Activities with the Market + Corporation.

Management Discussion & Analysis Segment Analysis

 

Retail Banking

 

The revenues from Retail Banking come from the offer of banking products and services to retail and high-income clients and very small and small companies, in addition to financial products and services offered to our non-account holder clients, including vehicle financing and credit cards offered outside the branch network, and Itaú BMG Consignado operations.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, recurring net income for the segment totaled R$2,646 million, a 9.3% decrease from the previous quarter.

 

The decrease in net income for the quarter was mainly due to (i) increase of 7.4% in provision for loan losses, (ii) reduced recovery of loans written off as losses, iii) decrease of 0.8% in financial margin with clients, and iv) increase of 1.3% in non-interest expenses. With positive effect on net income, commissions and fees increased R$450 million, or 8.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2015.

 

The Retail Banking annualized return on allocated capital reached 32.4% in the quarter. The efficiency ratio was 50.0% and the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio reached 73.4%.

 

Loan Portfolio – Retail Banking

 

At the end of December 2015, loan portfolio totaled R$222,774 million, increasing 0.3% compared to September 2015.

 

Coverage ratio for NPL over 90 days (without complementary allowance) reached 124% on December 31, 2015, decreasing 400 basis points from September 30, 2015.

Wholesale Banking

 

The revenues from the Wholesale Banking segment come from: i) activities of Itaú BBA, the unit responsible for commercial operations with large companies and for investment banking services, ii) the result from our units abroad, and iii) products and services offered to middle market companies, high-net worth clients (Private Banking) and institutional clients.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, operating revenues amounted to R$7,143 million, an increase of 4.7%, or R$318 million from the previous quarter, mainly due to the increases of 3.9% or R$189 million in the financial margin with clients and of 6.0% or R$110 million in commissions and fees.

 

Result from loan losses totaled R$902 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of 33.6% from the previous quarter, mainly due to the higher recovery of loans written off as losses related to an operation of a specific group in the corporate segment.

 

Non-interest expenses increased 3.4%, or R$86 million, from the third quarter of 2015 and totaled R$2,635 million in the current period.

 

Therefore, the increase in the Wholesale Banking net income was 16.0% from the previous quarter, totaling R$2,063 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, return on allocated capital reached 19.4% per year, the efficiency ratio was 39.0%, and the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio reached 52.3%.

 

Loan Portfolio – Wholesale Banking

 

The loans portfolio reached R$251,056 million at December 31, 2015, up 1.6% compared to September 30, 2015.

 

Coverage ratio for NPL over 90 days (without complementary allowance) reached 218% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, 1,100 basis points higher than the previous quarter. In the quarter, the decrease in the NPL over 90 days was due to the transfer of financial that happened in December 2015, as mentioned in page 19 of this report.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled R$323 million, an increase of 1.1% when compared to the third quarter of 2015. The financial margin increased 8.3% in the period, mainly as a result of higher treasury results in Argentina and of the sale of a student loan portfolio in Chile (R$79 million effect). On the other hand, there was a reduction in commission and fees, mainly due to the new regulation of credit card charges in Paraguay and to lower commissions in the corporate segment (investment structuring) in Chile.

 

The provision for loan losses decreased 16.5% in the fourth quarter, mainly due to higher provisions in the companies segment in Chile that occurred in the third quarter of 2015.

 

Non-interest expenses increased 7.8% mainly due to higher marketing, communication and personnel expenses, as well as integration expenses in Chile.

 

Argentina

 

Net income in Argentina reached R$94 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly impacted by higher treasury results, influenced by market volatility. Non-interest expenses reached R$243 million, an increase of 13.4% from previous quarter, mainly due to the increase in marketing, promotion and personnel expenses.

Provision for loan losses reached R$75 million, a reduction of 33.9% when compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to higher provisions in the companies segments in the third quarter.

Our strategy for the commercial (retail) and companies segments over the past few years, allowed the consolidation of our position in the market. We hold the leading position among banks in Paraguay in terms of results and deposits (data provided by the Central Bank of Paraguay, December 2015).

 

This quarter, our net income in Paraguay was influenced by Law N° 5,476/2015 of Congreso de la Nación and by 2/Acta 60 of the Central Bank of Paraguay, which establish regulations related to the charge of commissions on financial products, setting limits to interest rates for credit cards, eliminating fees and regulating the realization of promotions. Therefore, the financial margin and commission and fees decreased 13.9% and 7.2%, respectively.

 

On the other hand, non-interest expenses decreased 11.0%, due to lower marketing and promotion expenses, as a consequence of the regulatory restrictions.

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 2015) and we were recognized as the best bank in Uruguay by Euromoney magazine. We are also the leading player in the credit card segment through our credit card operator OCA.

 

Net income of our operations in Uruguay was R$43 million. Commission and fees increased 5.2%, mainly driven by higher credit card commissions and custody and fund management fees. On the other hand, provision for loan losses significantly increased this quarter, due to the downgrade of a specific client in the companies segment.

 

Non-interest expenses increased 10.6% in the quarter due to higher marketing, personnel, system and communication expenses.

2)ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

2.1) International Context (ex- Latam)

 

The U.S. economy continues showing improvement in the labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 5.0% in December 2015 from 5.7% at the end of 2014. This favorable change followed a moderate growth in GDP, which expanded by 2.6% in the year through September, as compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

In the same comparison, Eurozone and Japan GDP grew by 1.5% and 0.4%, respectively; China, however, decelerated to 6.9% when compared to 7.3% achieved in 2014. This moderate growth in China has affected the expansion of emerging countries, including those of Latin America.

 

2.2) Latam Context (ex- Brazil)

 

In Latin America, commodities-exporting countries continue growing less in relation to the previous decade. Lower prices of commodities negatively affect investment, confidence and domestic income. Mexico has not fully benefited from the U.S. recovery, and falling oil prices have hindered the implementation of a reform in the energy sector.

 

Due to the currencies’ depreciation, inflation has been higher in almost all countries. The central banks of Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico are increasing monetary policy rates, despite low growth. The slowdown in economic activity and tax revenues related to lower commodities prices are also forcing governments to cut spending.

 

Although the region’s economic environment is unfavorable, economic fundamentals gave rise to differences between countries. Accordingly, slowdown in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico has been smoother in relation to other Latin American countries.

 

2.3) Domestic Context

 

In the domestic scenario, GDP slowed in the period from January to September 2015, posting a 3.2% drop as compared to the previous year. Unemployment rate rose to 7.5% in November 2015 from 4.9% in November 2014. Inflation reached 10.67% in 2015. The Central Bank of Brazil increased the interest rate to 14.25% in July 2015 and kept it unchanged for the remaining year. The primary deficit accumulated in the year reached 0.7% of GDP in November 2015, compared to a 0.4% GDP in the same period of 2014. The current account deficit decreased due to a more depreciated exchange rate and a reduction of economic activity. Deficit in external accounts fell to 3.3% of GDP in 2015 from 4.3% in 2014.

 

The US dollar appreciated 47% against the real in 2015, closing at R$3.90/US$. Brazil has international reserves of approximately US$370 billion.

3.4) Mergers, Acquisitions and Partnerships

 

Merger of Itaú Chile with CorpBanca In 2015, the merger was approved in Chile. Therefore, we obtained all regulatory approvals in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Panama.

 

The bank resulting from the merger will be called Itaú CorpBanca, which will operate under the “Itaú” brand and will be controlled by Itaú Unibanco through a 33.58% ownership interest in its capital.

 

The implementation of the merger, which will occur in the first half of 2016, will bring the following benefits to the stockholders of Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca:

 

· Creation of one of the strongest financial institutions of Latin America;

· A larger customer service network;

· Lower funding costs and increased leverage capacity of Tier 1 capital; and

Over 40% of individual account holders access our digital channels on a monthly basis, whereas for the companies segment this figure exceeds 60%.

 

We highlight the mobile channel, which in 2015 grew by 5 percentage points in the share of transactions, accounting for 17% of the bank’s total transactions.

 

To ensure that our clients enjoy even more comfort and convenience, we continue to invest in our Digital Branches – an innovative pioneering relationship model, causing the bank to become even more available to clients, beyond traditional opening times and through the digital channel of their preference.

The headquarters of the Cubo was opened in September 2015 in São Paulo.

 

3.6) Subsequent Event

 

Credit Intelligence BureauOn January 21, 2016, we announced the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with four other banks, aimed at creating a credit intelligence bureau (CIB), which will be structured as a corporation under shared control, 20% for each bank. CIB will develop a data base aiming to aggregate, reconcile and treat registration data and credit information of individuals and legal entities that expressly authorize their inclusion in such data base as required by applicable law. This action will increase the exchange of information of such individuals and legal entities, enabling higher levels of efficiency and improvement on credit management activities.

The technical implementation of CIB shall be performed together with a technical partner selected to develop and implement the technological and analytical platform through a service agreement.

(1) Change is calculated based on actual figures in units.

(2) Equity in earnings of affiliates, jointly controlled entities and other investments, Other operating revenues and Non-operating income.

(3) Excludes the non-recurring effects of each period.

 

The following contributed to the increase in net income from January to December 2015:

 

Banking service fees and income from bank charges: an 11.1% growth compared to the previous year, due to the increased income from credit cards, arising mainly from annual fees and other services; current account services, due to higher income from service packages; funds management, loan operations and guarantees provided.

 

Income from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations: an 8.7% growth in relation to 2014, influenced by lower expenses on claims in the period – for additional information see item 4.4. Itaú Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization.

 

Expenses for allowance for loan and lease losses: a 41.3% increase from the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the recognition of a complementary provision for loan losses to the minimum required by CMN Resolution No. 2,682/99 in the amount of R$2,793 million(b), mainly due to a lower economic growth scenario.

 

Personnel, and other administrative and operating expenses: an 11.6% increase from the same period of the previous year, due to greater expenses on compensation and social benefits, greater expenses on facilities and data processing and telecommunications, and by higher operating expenses, due to the recognition of tax and social security provisions of R$560 million(b) and civil provisions.

 

Income from financial operations before loan and losses, Income tax and social contribution and tax expenses: the decrease in income from financial operations before loan losses is mainly due to the tax effects of hedging foreign investments(c), which are recorded under Income Tax, Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) and Tax expenses. If we had reclassified this result, the financial margin would have reached R$64.8 billion, a 17.7% increase from the same period of the previous year. This same reclassification to Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income line would have brought this figure to a R$4.6 billion expense, with a 50.0% decrease from the same period of the previous year; if we brought this reclassification to the Tax Expenses line we would have recorded a R$6.6 billion expense, a 21.3% increase from the same period of the previous year.

 

Income from financial operations before loan losses was negatively impacted by R$520 million(b) due to the change of the accounting treatment of the financial lease agreement related to the implementation of the Technology Center, intangible and fixed assets, and advances to suppliers.

 

Increase in the Social Security Rate – In 2015, the impact on results arising from the revaluation of tax credit balance from social contribution due to the increase in the tax rate was positive by R$3,988(b) million in the period.

 

(b) Non-recurring effects, net of tax effects. For additional information on non-recurring effects see Note 22 k) to the Complete Financial Statements.

(c) Brazilian tax legislation sets forth that gains and losses from foreign exchange variation on foreign investments are not taxable for PIS/COFINS/IE/CSLL purposes. On the other hand, gains and losses from financial instruments used to hedge this asset position are impacted by tax effects.

The different tax treatment granted to these foreign exchange differences results in volatility in Gain (loss) from operations and tax expense accounts (PIS/COFINS) and income tax (income tax/social contribution on net income).

Thus, in 2001 we were one of the first companies to voluntarily adhere to Corporate Governance Level 1 of BM&FBOVESPA and in 2002 we recorded our ADSs Level 2 on the NYSE. We voluntarily adhered to Self-Regulation and Good Practices Code of Publicly-Held Companies of the Brazilian Association of Publicly-Held Companies (Abrasca).

6)CORPORATE CONTROLS

 

6.1) Risk and Capital Management

 

We consider risk management as an essential instrument to optimize the use of funds and to choose the best business opportunities, aiming at maximizing the value added to stockholders. Our risk management is the process through which:

 

·the existing and potential risks in our operations are identified and measured; and
·policies, procedures and methodologies for risk management and control consistent with the Board of Directors’ guidelines and our strategies are approved;

 

Our portfolio is managed in search for the best risk-return ratio.

 

The purpose of risk identification is to map the risk events of internal and external nature that may affect the strategies and purpose of our support and business units, with possible impacts on income, capital and reputation.

 

We adopt a proactive attitude in capital management, comprising the following phases: identification and analysis of material risks, capital planning, stress tests conducted focusing on the analysis of the impact of severe events on our capitalization level, maintenance of the capital contingency plan, internal assessment of capital adequacy and preparation of management reports.

 

6.2) Anti-money laundering and illegal actions regulations

 

Financial institutions perform a key role in the prevention and fight against illegal actions, among which are money laundering, terrorism financing, and frauds. The major challenge is to identify and repress increasingly sophisticated operations that try to dissimulate the origin, title and movement of goods and funds arising from illegal activities.

 

We established a corporate policy with the purpose to prevent our involvement with illegal activities and to protect our reputation and image before the employees, clients, strategic partners, suppliers, service providers, regulatory bodies and regulatory bodies and society, by means of a governance structure focused on transparency, strict compliance with rules and regulations, and cooperation with legal and police authorities. We also seek to continually align with the best national and international practices for prevention and fight against illegal actions, through investments and continuous qualification of our employees.

 

As it is in compliance with corporate policy guidelines, we established a program to prevent and fight against illegal actions, based on the following pillars:

 

·Client Identification Process;
·“Know Your Client" (KYC) Process;
·“Know Your Partner" (KYP) Process;
·“Know Your Supplier" (KYS) Process;
·“Know Your Employee" (KYE) Process;
·Assessment of New Products and Services;
·Monitoring of Transactions;
·Communication of Suspicious Transactions to Regulatory Bodies; and
·Training.

 

This program is applicable to all our conglomerate, including our subsidiaries and affiliates in Brazil and abroad. Governance on prevention and fight against illegal actions is carried out by the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Compliance and Operational Risk Committee, Internal Operational Risk Committee and by the Anti-Money Laundering Committee.

 

6.3) Operational Structure and Internal Controls

 

The integrated management of operational risk, internal controls and compliance follows the internal policy approved by the Board of Directors and is structured in three lines of defense:

 

·1st line: represented by business and risk control areas, being responsible for identifying, measuring, assessing and managing operational risk events, as well as for maintaining an effective control environment (including the compliance with internal and external rules).
·2nd line: represented by the internal control / independent validation area, being responsible, among others, for disseminating and assuring the implementation of decisions, policies, and strategies for operating risk management, as well as for validating policies and processes on an independent basis.
·3rd line: represented by the Internal Audit area, being responsible, among others, for verifying, on an independent and periodic basis, the adequacy of processes and procedures for risk identification and management.

 

Following the best Basel agreement practices, we perform the independent validation of risk model and processes. This activity is performed by the Internal Controls and Compliance Office (DCIC), which, being segregated from the business and control risk area, guarantees the independence of assessments.

 

6.4) Information Security

 

The Information Security area is responsible for providing structured and consolidated information on the main information security risks in different organization levels, aiming at reducing financial losses and the image risk in Brazil and abroad, based on the definition of policies, process and procedures that support all information chain.

 

We monitor and treat any type of attack and security incident quickly and efficiently, managing all safety tools with a certified team specialized in diversified technologies. We manage access to systems and resources effectively, monitoring the movements required to ensure security in consultation of systems and information.

 

We work together with the business and technology areas to maintain the architecture of solutions and products with highest security level.

Our sustainability activities are based on three strategic focus: 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 February 2015, the Policy on Sustainability and Social and Environmental Responsibility was reviewed and published based on the criteria established by BACEN Resolution No. 4,327. In compliance with this policy, the analysis of social and environmental risks is conducted based on the characteristics, needs, risk exposure and particularities of each business front.

We also sponsored the International youth tennis championship in Porto Alegre, the College Sports League, the largest college sports Project in Brazil, and the Future Women’s Tennis Circuit, a world tour tennis tournament.

 

Through the federal sports incentive law, we also sponsor the Junior, High School and College Tennis Circuit, which started in 2009 aimed at promoting sports in league with education.

 

We marked our presence in tournaments such as Rio Open and Miami Open, and also hold the Itaú Master Tours every year (13th edition).

 

9.4) Urban Mobility

 

We invest in urban mobility in large cities, focusing on the importance of bicycles as a means of transportation, transforming the way people live and relate with their cities. To reach this purpose, our platform is composed by 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 2015, in addition to seeking to improve current programs in seven Brazilian cities (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Salvador, Recife, and Brasília), we invested in actions aimed at children, and noteworthy was the “Escolinha bike” (bike children’s school), which reached over 12 thousand children in 3 months. We also implemented three new bicycle stands in container and started an innovative bicycle mobility program in Fernando de Noronha, to be completed in 2016. We also contributed for the inclusion of bicycles in driving schools throughout the State of Pernambuco.

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 the 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 and 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 deemed necessary to calculate the accounting provisions and the valuation of financial assets.

 

In order to enable the analysis of the net income, the heading Net income without non recurring effects is presented within the Consolidated Statement of Income, and this effect is shown under the heading Exclusion of non recurring 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 results 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 reclassification of expenses and income, in order exclusively to represent the impact of variations and differences in rates on the balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies.

 

b)Consolidation

 

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

 

Intercompany transactions, intercompany balances and intercompany results have been eliminated on consolidation. The investment funds of 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, based on the same categories to which these securities were originally allocated. The effects of foreign exchange variations on investments abroad are classified under the heading Securities and derivative financial instruments in the Statement of Income for subsidiaries with the same functional currency as the parent company, and in Asset valuation adjustment for subsidiaries with a functional currency different from that of the parent company (Note 4s).

 

The difference in 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 originating from purchases of investments, from the recording of transactions with minority stockholders where there is no change of control (Note 4q), and in the record of exchange variations on investments abroad, and hedges of these investments where the functional currency is different from that of the parent company, net of the respective deferred tax assets.

 

In ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, the goodwill recorded in subsidiaries, mainly originated from the ITAÚ and UNIBANCO merger and acquisition by minority stockholders of REDE, is 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.

 

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

(1)Consolidated financial statements including financial companies and the like. As from the base date January 2015, in accordance with Circular 4,278, this is the basis for the consolidation calculation;

(2)According to CMN Resolutions No. 4,192, of March 1, 2013, No. 4,278, of October 31, 2013, No. 4,311, of February 20, 2014 and No. 4,442, of October 29, 2015, CMN defines Regulatory Capital, for the purpose of operational limit calculation, as the sum of two tiers, Tiers I and II, in which Tier I is comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1 Capital. The calculation is composed of items that are an integral part of the Stockholders’ Equity plus prudential adjustments and deductions, in addition to eligible instruments, particularly subordinated debt.

 

Management considers the current Basel ratio (17.8%, based on the Consolidated Prudential, of which 14.0% of Common Equity and Tier I and 3.8% of Tier II) to be adequate, as it exceeds by 6.8 percent the minimum required by the authorities (11.0%).

 

In 2015, the Financial System Consolidated is no longer calculated for capital effects, in compliance with the standards in force, and has been replaced by the Consolidated Prudential.

 

CMN Resolution No. 4,192, of March 1, 2013, as amended, addresses the Reference Equity calculation methodology, and CMN Resolution No. 4,193, of March 1, 2013, as amended, addresses the minimum requirements for Reference Equity, Tier I, and Common Equity Tier I, and introduces the Additional Common Equity Tier 1. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED opted to use a Standardized Approach to calculate credit and market risk-weighted assets, and the Alternative Standardized Approach to calculate operational risk-weighted assets, based on the regulations in force.

Note 4 – Summary of the main accounting practices

 

a)Cash and cash equivalents - For the purposes 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, borrowing and onlending, subordinated debt and other receivables and payables – Transactions subject to monetary correction and foreign exchange variations, and transactions with fixed charges, are recorded at their present value, net of the transaction costs incurred, calculated “pro rata die” based on the effective rates of transactions, according to CVM Resolution No. 649 of December 16, 2010.

 

c)Securities - Recorded at the 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 – securities acquired to be actively and frequently traded, and adjusted to market value, with a counter-entry to the results for the period;

 

·Available-for-sale securities – securities that can be negotiated but are not acquired for the purposes of active and frequent trading. They are adjusted to their market value, with a counter-entry to an account disclosed in stockholders’ equity;

 

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

 

Gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, when realized, are recognized on the trade date in the statement of income, with a counter-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 causes, are recorded in the results as realized losses.

 

d)Derivative financial instruments - these are classified on the date of their acquisition, according to whether or not management intends to use them either as a hedge, according to BACEN Circular No. 3,082, of January 30, 2002. Transactions involving financial instruments, carried out at the client’s request, on 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 closely related with those of the items being protected at the beginning and throughout the duration of the contract, and which are found to be effective reducing the risk related to the exposure being protected against, are classified as hedges, 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 amounts of the hedges 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, 2015

105

 

 

·Net Investment Hedge of Foreign Operations - accounted for similarly to cash flow hedge, i.e. the portion of gains or losses on a hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in stockholders’ equity, and reclassified to income for the period in the event of the 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 an accrual basis until the 60th day overdue in financial companies, according to the estimates 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 in accordance with the rules determined by CMN Resolution No. 2,682 of December 21, 1999, which are as follows are:

 

·Provisions are recorded from the date on which 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 occurs 360 days after the 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 a provision, according to current regulations, unearned reinsurance premiums (Note 4m I); and prepaid expenses, corresponding to disbursements, the benefits of which will be felt in future periods.

 

From January 1, 2015, Itaú Unibanco has adopted the option provided in Circular No. 3,693/13, which establishes accounting procedures for the compensation of local correspondents in connection with credit origination. These compensation amounts for local correspondents in connection with transactions originated after January 1, 2017 will be fully recorded as expenses for the period.

 

h)Investments – investments in subsidiary and affiliated companies are accounted for based on 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 making a provision in accordance with current standards.

 

i)Fixed assets - these assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation, and were adjusted to market value up to December 31, 2007, when applicable, for insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations, and these adjustments to market value are supported by appraisal reports. They correspond to rights related to tangible assets intended for the maintenance of the company’s operations or exercised for this purpose, including assets arising from transactions that transfer to the company their benefits, risks and controls. The consideration received under lease contracts started to be recorded in income in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,617 / 08, as of September 30, 2015, as determined by the Central Bank.

 

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 tested annually for impairment.

 

k)Intangible assets – correspond to rights acquired related to intangible assets intended to be held by the company, or which are exercised for this purpose, according to CMN Resolution No. 3,642, of November 26, 2008.

I -Contingent assets and liabilities

 

Refer to potential rights and obligations arising from past events, the occurrence of which is dependent upon future events.

 

·Contingent assets - not recognized, except where there is evidence of a high likelihood level of realization, usually represented by claims awarded a final and unappealable judgment and confirmation of the recoverability of the claim through receipt of amounts or through offsetting against another liability

 

·Contingent liabilities - basically arise from administrative proceedings and lawsuits inherent in the normal course of business filed by third parties, former employees and governmental bodies, in connection with civil, labor, tax and social security lawsuits and other risks. These contingencies are calculated on a conservative basis, usually recorded based on the opinion of legal advisors and considering the probability that financial resources shall be required to settle the obligation, the amount of which may be estimated with sufficient certainty. Contingencies are classified either as probable, for which provisions are recognized; possible, which are disclosed but not recognized; and remote, for which recognition or disclosure are not required. Any contingent amounts are measured through the use of models and criteria which allow adequate measurement, in spite of the uncertainty of their terms and amounts.

 

Escrow deposits are restated in accordance with the current legislation.

 

Contingencies guaranteed by indemnity clauses in privatization processes and with liquidity are only recognized upon judicial notification with the simultaneous recognition of receivables, without any effect on results.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2015

II -Legal liabilities – tax and social security

 

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

 

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

 

o)Taxes - these provisions are calculated in accordance with current legislation at the rates shown below, using the respective calculation bases.

 

Income tax   15.00%
Additional income tax   10.00%
Social contribution (1)   20.00%
PIS (2)   0.65%
COFINS (2)   4.00%
ISS up to   5.00%
(1)On October 06, 2015, Law No. 13,169, a conversion of Provisional Measure No. 675, which increased the Social Contribution tax rate from 15% to 20% until December 31, 2018, for financial institutions, insurance companies and credit card management companies, was introduced. For the other companies, the tax rate remains at 9%.
(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%.

 

On May 14, 2014, Law No. 12,973 was enacted to change the federal tax legislation about IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS, which effects started on 01/01/2015, since ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED did not exercise the option of advancing the effects pursuant to articles 75 and 96. Among other matters, said Law provides for:

 

·the revocation of the Transition Tax Regime – TTR, established by Law No. 11,638/07, amended by Law No. 11,941, of May 27, 2009;

·taxation of legal entities domiciled in Brazil, in connection with the equity increase arising from the interest in profit earned abroad by subsidiaries and affiliates and profit earned by individuals resident in Brazil by means of a legal entity controlled abroad.

 

Said law has not had significant accounting effects on the consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

 

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 non-controlling interests - 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 non-controlling 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, 2015

109

 

 

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 of changes in these assumptions. Gains and losses are fully recognized in equity 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 expenses 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 these benefits over specific periods, as well as the benefits granted based on judicial rulings.

 

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 Equity asset valuation adjustment 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 Cumulative Translation Adjustments (CTA).

 

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 cumulative translation adjustments until derecognition or impairment.

g) Derivative financial instruments

 

The globalization of the markets in recent years has resulted in a high level of sophistication of financial products used. As a result of this process, there has been 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, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries operate in the derivatives markets for meeting the growing needs of their clients, as well as enacting their risk management policy. This policy is based on the use of derivative instruments to minimize the risks resulting from commercial and financial operations.

 

The derivative financial instrument 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 include swaps, forwards, options 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 mostly listed on the Chicago, New York and London Exchanges. It should be emphasized that there are over-the-counter operations, but their risks are low 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 on stock exchanges.

 

The main risk factors of the derivatives, assumed at 12/31/2015, were related to the foreign exchange rate, interest rate, commodities, US 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, through the use of transactions involving derivatives, has been able to optimize the risk-return ratios, even in highly volatile situations.

 

Most derivatives included in the institution’s portfolio are traded on 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 the liquidity of a specific contract is identified. Derivatives typically valued in this way 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 substantial portion of the Brazilian government securities, highly-liquid international (public and private) securities and shares are in this situation.

 

For derivatives the prices of which are not directly disclosed by stock exchanges, fair prices are obtained based on pricing models which use market information, deducted based on the prices disclosed for higher liquidity assets. Interest and market volatility curves which provide input for the models are extracted from those prices. Over- the-counter derivatives, forward contracts and securities with limited liquidity are in this situation.

 

The total value of margins pledged in guarantee was R$ 5,811,502 (R$ 2,904,834 at 12/31/2014) and was basically composed of government securities.

j)Sensitivity analysis (trading and banking portfolios)

 

In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 475, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED carried out a sensitivity analysis by market risk factors considered relevant to which it was exposed. The biggest losses arising, by risk factor, in each scenario, were stated together with their impact on the results, net of tax effects, by providing an overview of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s 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 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 to significant losses. In addition, the study's sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risk and the respective protective actions, taking into account the fair value of financial instruments, irrespective of the accounting practices adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

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 of a similar nature and with individual amounts not considered significant): contingencies are determined on a monthly basis and the expected amount of losses is accrued based on statistical models that take into account the type of lawsuit and the characteristics of the court (Small Claims Court or Regular Court).

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): calculation is carried out on a periodic basis, from the calculation of the claimed amount which, in turn, is estimated based on the de jure or de facto characteristics related to that lawsuit. The amounts considered as representing probable losses are recorded as provisions.

 

In general, contingencies arise from revisions of contracts and compensation for damages and pain and suffering. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is also a party to specific lawsuits related to the collection of understated inflation adjustments to savings accounts resulting from economic plans.

 

From 1986 to 1994, the Brazilian federal government implemented several consecutive monetary stabilization plans (MSPs) to combat hyperinflation. In order to implement these plans, the Brazilian federal government enacted several laws based on its power to regulate the monetary and financial systems, as granted by the Brazilian federal constitution.

 

Savings account holders at the time when these MSPs were implemented challenged the constitutionality of the laws in connection with such plans, claiming, from the banks in which they held savings accounts, additional interest based on the inflation rates applied to the deposit accounts based on the MSPs.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is a defendant in numerous standardized lawsuits filed by individuals in respect of the MSP, and records provisions for such claims upon service of a process for a claim. In addition, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is a defendant in class actions, similar to the lawsuits brought by individuals, filed by either: (i) consumer protection associations, or (ii) the Public Prosecution Office on behalf of savings account holders. Holders of savings accounts may claim any amount due based on such a decision. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED records provisions when individual plaintiffs apply to enforce such decisions, using the same criteria adopted to determine provisions for individual lawsuits.

 

The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has issued some decisions favorable to savings account holders, but has not issued a final ruling with respect to the constitutionality of the MSPs as applicable to savings accounts. In relation to a similar dispute with respect to the constitutionality of the MSPs as applicable to time deposits and other private agreements, the STF has determined that the bills were constitutional. As a response to this discrepancy, the National Confederation of the Financial System (CONSIF) an association of Brazilian financial institutions, filed a special proceeding with the STF (Action against the violation of a constitutional fundamental right - “ADPF” No. 165), in which the Central Bank filed an amicus brief, arguing that savings account holders did not incur actual damages and that the MSPs as applicable to savings accounts were in accordance with the federal constitution. Accordingly, the STF suspended the rulings on all appeals involving this matter until it pronounces a final decision. However, there is no estimate when the judgment by STF will occur, since, due to the disqualification of certain ministers, there is no sufficient quorum at this time to resolve on the issue.

The most important rulings will address the following issues: (i) the accrual of compensatory interest on the amount due to the plaintiff, on filings that carry no specific claim to such interest; (ii) the initial date of default interest, for class actions; and (iii) the possibility of compensating the negative difference arising in the month of the MSP implementation, between the interests actually paid on savings accounts and the inflation rate for the same period, with the positive difference arising in the months subsequent to the MSP implementation, between the interests actually paid on savings accounts and the inflation rate of the same period. In relevant sentences in 2015, the STJ decided that: (i) the inclusion of interest in the calculation of execution is not applicable if there is no express sentence for this; and (ii) there shall be no payment of interest to holders of savings accounts after the proven closing date of those accounts. The thesis that understated inflation of plans subsequent to those challenged in the lawsuit can be included as full monetary correction of the debt, even with no express claim by the holder of savings account, has been reaffirmed. Additionally, STJ reaffirmed that the term for filling collection lawsuits expired within five years counted from the implementation date of the monetary stabilization plan (MSP). Accordingly, various collective lawsuits continue being extinguished by the Judiciary Branch as a result of this decision.

 

No amount is recorded as a provision in relation to Civil lawsuits which likelihood of loss is considered possible, which total estimated risk is R$ 2,459,520 (R$ 1,800,483 at 12/31/2014) 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 loss amount is determined and accrued monthly according to the statistical share pricing model and is reassessed taking into account court rulings. These are adjusted to reflect 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 allowances, pension plan supplements and other matters are discussed.

 

No amount is recorded as a provision for labor claims for which the likelihood of loss is considered possible, and for which the total estimated risk is R$ 828,672 (R$ 416,161 at 12/31/2014).

 

-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 a legal obligation, regardless of the likelihood of loss, that is, a favorable outcome for the institution is dependent upon the recognition of the unconstitutionality of the applicable laws in force. In other cases, the Bank recognizes a provision whenever the likelihood of loss is considered probable.

The main discussions related to the provisions recognized for Tax and Social Security Lawsuits are as follows:

 

·CSLL – Isonomy – R$ 1,098,160: as the law increased the CSLL rate for financial and insurance companies to 15%, the company is discussing the lack of constitutional support for this measure and, due to the principle of isonomy, the company is defending the levying of CSLL at the regular rate of 9%. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 1,083,612;

 

·INSS – Accident Prevention Factor (FAP) – R$ 834,203: it challenges the legality of FAP and inconsistent calculation by the INSS. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 97,717;

 

·PIS and COFINS – Calculation basis – R$ 613,201: the company is defending the levying of contributions on revenue, understood as revenue from the sales of assets and services. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 540,488;

 

·IRPJ and CSLL – Taxation of profits earned abroad – R$ 559,164: the company is discussing the calculation basis for the levying of these taxes on profits earned abroad and the non-applicability of Regulatory Instruction SRF No. 213-02 in which it exceeds the parameters of the legal text. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 215,122.

·ISS – Banking Institutions – R$ 960,452: these are banking operations, revenue from which may not be interpreted as prices for services rendered, and/or which arises from activities not listed under Supplementary Law No. 116/03 or Law No. 406/68.

 

c)Receivables - reimbursement of contingencies

 

The receivables balance arising from reimbursements of contingencies totals R$ 1,093,491 (R$ 675,896 at 12/31/2014) (Note 13a), basically represented by the guarantee for the Banco Banerj S.A. privatization process which occurred in 1997, where the State of Rio de Janeiro created a fund to guarantee civil, labor and tax contingencies.

 

d)Assets pledged as contingencies

 

Assets pledged in guarantee for contingencies are related to liability contingencies and restricted or deposited as presented below:

 

   12/31/2015   12/31/2014 
Securities (basically financial treasury bills – Note 7b)   792,983    821,015 
Deposits in guarantee   4,334,805    4,229,805

Escrow deposits are generally required to be made with the court in connection with lawsuits in Brazil, and they are held by the respective court until a decision is made. In case of a decision against ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, the deposited amount is released from escrow and transferred to the counterparty to the lawsuit. In the case of a decision in favor of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, the deposited amount is released at the full deposited and updated amount.

 

In general, provisions related to lawsuits of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED are long term, considering the time required for the termination of these lawsuits in the Brazilian judicial system, which is the reason why no estimate of the specific year in which these lawsuits will be terminated has been disclosed.

 

According to the opinion of its legal advisors, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED and its subsidiaries are not involved in any other administrative or judicial proceedings that may significantly impact the results of their operations. The combined evaluation of all existing provisions for all contingent liabilities and legal obligations, which are recognized based on statistical models for claims involving small amounts and on individual evaluations by internal and external legal advisors of other cases, showed that the accrued amounts are sufficient, in the terms of CMN Resolution No. 3,823, of December 16, 2009, and BACEN Circular Letter No. 3,429, of February 11, 2010.

 

e)Program for Cash or Installment Payment of Taxes

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries adhered to the Program for Cash or Installment Payment of Taxes, substantially related to the Federal area, established by Law No. 13,097, of January 19, 2015 and Law No. 13,043/2014. The program included debits managed by the Federal Reserve Service of Brazil and was established in accordance with the main article as follows:

 

·Refis of Capital Gain Earned in the Merger of Shares from Nova Bolsa - Law 13,097/15 article 145 – Arising from capital gain earned until December 31, 2008 due to the sale of shares resulting from the conversion of equity securities from nonprofit associations.

 

The net effect of the program in the results was R$ 27,309, and is reflected in Other Operating Income, Income Tax and Social Contribution.

f)Programs for Cash or Installment Payment of Municipal Taxes

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries adhered to the Programs for Incentivized Installment Payment substantially related to the municipal level, established by Laws: São Paulo (Law No. 16,097, of 12/29/2014); (Law No. 55,828, of 01/07/2015); Rio de Janeiro (Law No. 5,854, of 04/27/2015).

(1) From a financial point of view, rather than recording the provision of R$ 39.144.995 (R$ 27,488,033 at 12/31/2014) and deferred tax assets of R$ 15.665.070 (R$ 10,092,574 at 12/31/2014), only the net provisions of the corresponding tax effects should be considered, which would reduce the total deferred tax assets from R$ 56.983.615 (R$ 38,082,129 at 12/31/2014) to R$ 41.318.545 (R$ 27,989,555 at 12/31/2014).

 

(2) The accounting records of deferred tax assets on income tax losses and/or social contribution loss carryforwards, as well as those arising from temporary differences, are based on technical feasibility studies which consider the expected generation of future taxable income, considering the history of profitability for each subsidiary individually, and for the consolidated taken as a whole. For the subsidiaries, Itaú Unibanco S.A. and Banco Itaucard S.A., due to their specific tax status, a petition has been sent to Central Bank of Brazil, in compliance with paragraph 7 of article 1 of Resolution No. 4,441/15 and pursuant to Circular 3,776/15, to maintain the respective deferred tax assets.

 

At ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, the Deferred Tax Assets totaled R$ R$ 173,068 (R$ 10,834 at 12/31/2014) and are basically represented by Provisions for Guarantee Accounts of R$ 131,596, Administrative Provisions of R$ 14,146 (R$ 5,518 at 12/31/2014) and Provisions related to Legal, Tax and Social Security Liabilities of R$ 14,002 (R$ 5,200 at 12/31/2014), which expected realization is dependent upon the progress of the lawsuit.

(*) 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 service fees and others, which can vary in relation to actual data and amounts.

 

Net income in the financial statements is not directly related to the taxable income for income tax and social contribution, due to differences between the accounting criteria and tax legislation, in addition to corporate aspects. Accordingly, we recommend that the trends for 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 - Considering the temporary effects of Law 13,169/15, which increases the Social Contribution tax rate to 20% until December 31, 2018, tax credits were accounted for based on their expected realization. The effect on the consolidated statement of income was R$ 3,988,253. There are no unrecorded deferred tax assets at 12/31/2015 and 12/31/2014.

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 the 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, amounting to R$ 0.015 per share.

g) Share-based payment

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries have share-based payment programs aimed at involving its management members and employees in the medium and long term corporate development process.

 

These payments are only made in years where there are sufficient profits to enable the distribution of mandatory dividends, in order to limit the maximum dilutive effect to which stockholders are subject, and at a quantity that does not exceed the limit of 0.5% of the total shares held by the controlling and minority stockholders at the balance sheet date.

 

These programs are settled through the delivery of ITUB4 treasury shares to stockholders.

 

From 01/01 to 12/31/2015, the accounting effect of the share-based payment in income was R$ (734,191) (R$ (441,065) from 01/01 to 12/31/2014).

 

I – Stock Option Plan (Simple Options)

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a Stock Option Plan (“Simple Options”) aimed at involving management members and employees in the medium and long term corporate development program of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries, offering them the opportunity to benefit from the appreciation that their work and dedication bring to the shares.

 

In addition to the grants provided under the Plan, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING also maintains control over the rights and obligations in connection with the options granted under the plans approved at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meetings held on April 24, 2009 and April 19, 2013 related to the Unibanco – União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A., Unibanco Holdings S.A. and Redecard S.A. stock option plans, respectively. Accordingly, the exchange of shares for ITUB4 did not have a relevant financial impact.

 

Simple options have the following characteristics:

 

a)Exercise price: calculated based on the average prices of shares in the three months of the year prior to the grant date. The prices determined will be restated to the last business day of the month prior to the option exercise date based on IGP-M or, in its absence, on an index to be determined internally, and should be paid within the period in force for the settlement of operations on BM&FBOVESPA.

 

b)Vesting period: determined upon issue, from one to seven years, counted from the grant date. The vesting period is normally determined at five years.

 

c)Fair value and economic assumptions for cost recognition: the fair value of Simple Options is calculated on the grant date based on the Binominal model. Economic assumptions used are as follows:

 

(i)Exercise price: exercise price previously agreed upon the option issue, adjusted by the IGP-M variation;

 

(ii)Price of the underlying asset (ITUB4 shares): closing price on BM&FBOVESPA on the calculation base date.

 

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

 

(iv)Risk-free interest rate: IGP-M coupon rate at the expiration date of the Simple Option;

 

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

II – Partner Plan

 

The employees and management members of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries may be selected to participate in the program investing a percentage of their bonus to acquire ITUB4 shares and share-based instruments. Accordingly, the ownership of these shares should be held by the beneficiaries for a period from three to five years, counted from the initial investment, and are thus subject to market price variation. After complying with the suspensive conditions set forth in the program, beneficiaries will be entitled to receive ITUB4 as consideration, in accordance with the numbers of shares provided for in the program regulation.

 

The acquisition prices of own shares and Share-Based Instruments are established every six months and is equivalent to the average of the ITUB4 quotation in the 30 days prior to the determination of the acquisition price.

 

The fair value of the ITUB4 as consideration is the market price at the grant date, less expected dividends.

 

The weighted average of the fair value of the ITUB4 shares as consideration was estimated at R$ 29.22 per share at 12/31/2015 (R$ 29.65 per share at 12/31/2014).

 

Law No. 12,973/14, which adjusted the tax legislation to the international accounting standards and terminated the Transitional Tax Regime (RTT), set up a new legal framework for payments made in shares. We made changes to the Partner Plan, and adjusted its tax effects, with conform with this new legislation.

III- Variable Compensation

 

The policy established in compliance with CMN Resolution No. 3,921/10 sets forth that fifty percent (50%) of the management’s variable compensation should be paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) should be paid in shares for a period of three years. Shares are delivered on a deferred basis, of which one-third (1/3) per year, will be contingent upon the executive’s remaining with the institution. The deferred unpaid portions may be reversed proportionally to the significant reduction of the recurring income realized or the negative income for the period.

 

The fair value of the ITUB4 share is the market price at its grant date.

 

The weighted average of the fair value of ITUB4 shares was estimated at R$ 31.24 per share at 12/31/2015 (R$ 25.33 per share at 12/31/2014).

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 as at their 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 up to 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 values, 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;

 

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

 

·Time and interbank deposits and funds from the acceptance and issuance of securities and foreign borrowing 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 regulations. 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 regulations, which does not require actuarial calculation, except as described in Note 19c.

 

Employees hired prior to July 31, 2002, for those who came from Itaú, and prior to February 27, 2009 for those who came from Unibanco, are beneficiaries of the above-mentioned plans. As 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 Regulations, maintaining the plans assets invested separately and independently from ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

I - Main assumptions used in actuarial valuation of Retirement Plans

 

    12/31/2015   12/31/2014
Discount rate (1)   11.28% a.a.   10.24% p.a.
Mortality table (2)   AT-2000   AT-2000
Turnover (3)   Itaú Experience
2008/2010
  Itaú Experience
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 12/31/2015 assumption were adopted consistently 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 Society of Actuaries (SOA), the North-American Entity which corresponds to Brazilian Institute of Actuarial Science (IBA), 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 aged 55 years 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 based on 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 the 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 consistent with 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 related to securities issued by the Brazilian treasury (government securities). If the actual income related to 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, aimed at minimizing volatility and short and medium term risk.

 

- Changes in investment income

 

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

 

- Inflation risk

 

Most of the 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 at the inflation rate.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2015

189

 

 

- Life expectancy

 

Most of the plan obligations are to provide life benefits, and therefore an 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 to pay 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 12/31/2015 and 12/31/2014 the allocation of plan assets and the allocation target for 2016, by type of asset, are as follows:

 

   Fair value   % Allocation
Types  12/31/2015   12/31/2014   12/31/2015   12/31/2014   2016 Target
Fixed income securities   12,368,880    12,249,770    90.73%   91.16%  53% to 100%
Variable income securities   536,846    641,518    3.94%   4.77%  0% to 20%
Structured investments   27,311    22,119    0.20%   0.17%  0% to 10%
Real estate   633,001    487,730    4.64%   3.63%  0% to 7%
Loans to participants   67,363    36,620    0.49%   0.27%  0% to 5%
Total   13,633,401    13,437,757    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$ 451,578 (R$ 554,278 at 12/31/2014), and real estate rented to Group companies, with a fair value of R$ 605,812 (R$ 454,738 at 12/31/2014).

 

Fair value - the fair value of the plan assets is adjusted up to the Balance Sheet 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, taken to be 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 based on reappraisals made in 2015, 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:

 

   12/31/2015   12/31/2014

(1) Corresponds to the amount calculated on 01/01/2015 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 10.24% p.a.(On 01/01/2014 the rate used was 9.72% p.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$ 1,028,168 (R$ 1,610,153) at 12/31/2014).

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 8.16% 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 following effects:

 

   Recognition  1% increase   1% decrease 
Service cost and cost of interest  Income   3,568    (3,034)
Present value of obligation  Asset valuation adjustment   20,077    (16,977)

·Norms, procedures and methodologies for risk management and control consistent with the Board of Directors’ guidelines and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s strategies are approved;

 

·The ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s risk portfolio is managed considering the best risk-return ratio.

 

The purpose of the identification of risks is to map the internal and external risks that may affect the strategies of the business and support units, with potential to impact results, capital, liquidity and reputation of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

 

Risk management processes are spread throughout the whole institution, aligned with the guidelines of the Board of Directors and Executives that, through panels, define the global objectives that are measured as goals and limits to the risk management units. Control and capital management units, in turn, support the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s management by monitoring and analyzing risk and capital.

 

In compliance with Resolution No. 3,988, of the National Monetary Council (CMN), BACEN Circular No. 3547 and BACEN Circular Letter No. 3,565, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED implemented its capital management structure and its internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), adopting a prospective attitude in the management of its capital. The Board of Directors is responsible for full approval of the ICAAP report, a process that aims to assess the capital adequacy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED by identifying material risks, establishing the need for additional capital for material risks and in-house methodologies to quantify capital, to develop the capital plan, both in normal times and stress situations, and to structure the capital contingence plan. Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED adopts the stress test and tool for the internal capital adequacy assessment.

 

The result of the last ICAAP – conducted with the base date December 2014 – indicated that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has, in addition to capital to face all material risks, a significant capital surplus, thus assuring the institution’s equity soundness.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s organizational structure of risk management is in conformity with regulations in force in Brazil and abroad and in line with the best market practices. The market, credit, liquidity, operational and underwriting risks control is performed in a centralized way by an independent unit, aiming at assuring that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s risks are being managed in accordance with established risk appetite policies, norms and procedures. This independent structure is also responsible for centralizing ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s capital management. The purpose of centralizing control is to provide the Executives and the Board of Directors with an overview of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s risk exposure, as well as a prospective view on the adequacy of its capital so as to optimize and speed up corporate decision-making.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED uses proprietary IT systems to fully meet the applicable rules on capital reserve, and also for risk measurement, in compliance with the models issued by the regulatory models in force. It also coordinates actions to check for adherence to qualitative and quantitative requirements established by the regulatory bodies for compliance with the minimum mandatory capital requirement and risk monitoring.

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 transactions involving financial instruments and goods, including derivatives, which are carried out with the intention of trading.

 

The banking portfolio is basically characterized by transactions from the banking business, and transactions related to the management of the balance sheet of the institution. It has the no-intention of resale and medium and long term time horizons as general guidelines.

 

Exposures to market risks inherent in the many different financial instruments, including derivatives, are broken down into a number of risk factors, primary market components for pricing.

 

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;

 

The National Monetary Council (CMN) has regulations that establish the segregation of exposure to market risk at least in the following categories: interest rate, exchange rate, shares and commodities. Inflation rates are addressed as a group of risk factors and received the same treatment as the other risk factors, such as interest rates, exchange rates, etc., and follow the structure of risk and limits governance adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED to manage market risk.

 

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”);
·Stressed VaR: statistical metric arising from VaR calculation, which purpose is to capture higher risk in simulations for the current portfolio, considering returns that can be seen in historical scenarios of extreme volatility.

 

In addition to the aforementioned risk measures, sensitivity and loss control measures are also analyzed. They comprise:

 

·Mismatching analysis (GAPS): graphic representation by risk factor of cash flows expressed at market value, allocated at the maturity dates;

 

·Sensitivity (DV01- Delta Variation): impact on the market value of cash flows, when submitted to an one annual basis point increase in the current interest rates or index rate;

 

·Sensitivity to several risk factors (Greeks): partial derivatives of an option portfolio in relation to the prices of underlying assets, implied volatilities, interest rates and time.

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 purpose of the management framework is to identify, prioritize, and manage possible operating risks, monitor and report management activities aiming at assuring the quality of the control environment, in compliance with internal guidelines and regulation 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.com.br/relacoes-com-investidores 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.

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 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 and focusing on the particularities of each risk, in accordance with the guidelines established by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

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, 2015and 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, 2015 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, 2015, 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).
