Management Discussion & Analysis    Executive Summary
Managerial Income Statement
In this report, besides making adjustments for extraordinary items, we have applied managerial criteria to present our income statement. In the accounting statements, these criteria affect the breakdown of our income statement, but not the amount of net income. The main adjustments made in the managerial figures include the tax effects of the hedges on investments abroad, which were originally included in tax expenses (PIS and COFINS), and the income tax and social contribution on net income, which have been reclassified to financial margin. The devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the currencies of the countries in which the Company has investments meant that the impact of the overhedging strategy on these investments was material during this quarter.
These reclassifications enable us to perform business analyses from the management point of view, and a reconciliation of the management and accounting figures is shown in the table below.

Performance analysis for the fourth quarter of 2021
Management commentary
The bank continues to make significant headway on the digital front. In the fourth quarter, 63% of products purchased by individuals were made digitally. It is worth mentioning that user’s satisfaction with digital channels measured based on the NPS (net promoter score) for the Super App (the bank’s mobile channel for individual customers) remains very high, at 71 points. Additionally, Iti reached 14.6million clients, 66% of whom were under 35 years old. In the fourth quarter alone, Iti acquired 4.7 million clients, and 86% of these new clients had no previous relationship with Itaú Unibanco.
Regarding our financial performance, the recurring managerial result reached R$ 7.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, a 5.6% increase from the previous quarter. Recurring managerial return on equity was 20.2%, while in Brazil the return reached 20.9%. Loan operations continued to grow and our loan portfolio was up 7.9% in Brazil and 6.7% in consolidated. The individuals loan portfolio was up 9.5% in the quarter. The credit card portfolio increased 15.5%, with seasonality pushing it higher at the end of the year, but also driven by our commercial strategy that provides a card for each client’s profile, thus providing a full shelf of cards. In the fourth quarter, we had a historic record with the issuance of 4.8 million cards. Personal loans grew 9.6%, with significant increases in credit lines with better spreads, such as overdraft and consumer credit. Mortgage loans grew 8.3% in this quarter with a high production level throughout 2021 and excellent customer satisfaction, since the transactional NPS of the operation reached 73 points in December 2021, up 2 points from September 2021. Our financial margin with clients reached R$19.9 billion, an increase of 13.2% in the quarter, driven by a higher volume of credit and a change in product mix with higher relative growth of products with better spreads. Additionally, the increase in interest rates positively impacted the liabilities’ margin and our own working capital. These positive effects more than offset the lower spreads. Cost of credit reached R$6.2 billion, due to higher expenses in the Retail business segment in Brazil, driven by the increase of unsecured personal credit origination. Margin with the market was down in the quarter to R$1.3 billion. Commissions and fees were up due to the impact of (i) higher economic activity and consequently higher revenue from cards (both issuer and acquirer), which are seasonally higher in this period of the year, and (ii) higher revenue from current account packages, mainly for companies. Higher insurance sales are also worth mentioning and led to a 9.1% growth in earned premiums. Non -interest expenses increased 4.2% in the quarter. In Brazil, non-interest expenses were up 1.9%, even with the full effect of the collective agreement on our personnel expenses, driven by higher investments in our business and higher transactional costs (seasonally higher in the forth quarter), partially offset by savings generated by our efficiency program. Efficiency ratio in Brazil decreased 1.4 p.p. and reached 40.7% in the quarter, the lowest level in five years.
In 2021, the recurring managerial result was up 45.0% year -on-year. Recurring managerial return on equity was 19.3%. The positive effect of the loan portfolio increase, associated with the gradual change in the portfolio mix to loans of the Retail segment, led to a 8.3% rise of the financial margin with clients. Additionally, the interest rate increase positively impacted the remuneration of our own working capital and the liabilities’ margin. These positive effects were partially offset by lower spreads on credit products. In addition to this higher margin with clients, the financial margin with the market increased and cost of credit decreased. Both moves were driven by the unexpectedly volatile macroeconomic scenario that characterized the first quarter of 2020, in addition to the good performance of the treasury throughout 2021.
Commissions and fees and result from insurance operations rose by 5.8% year-on-year, having the XP Inc. contributed during just five months. Disregarding the result of XP Inc, the growth would have been 7.2%. This increase was the result of higher revenues from card-issuing activities and higher gains from financial advisory services due to greater activity in capital markets. Another highlight was the 0.5% increase in non -interest expenses in Brazil, despite the 10.1% inflation rate in the period. It is worth mentioning that we continue investing in technology and in our business, and our efficiency program has significantly helped improve this performance.

Managerial Financial Margin
Highlights
The financial margin with clients was up 13.2% in the quarter driven by the higher average credit volume and better mix of products. In addition, there was growth in Latin America and we had a positive impact of the Selic interest rate on our own working capital and on our liabilities’ margin.
The financial margin with the market was down 32.6% in the quarter driven by lower gains from management of assets and liabilities of our balance sheet in Brazil and by the hedging strategy on investments abroad, partially offset by higher treasury gains in the Latin American units.

Cost of Credit
Highlights
The increase in cost of credit in the quarter was driven by the higher provision for loan losses in the Retail business segment in Brazil, due to the increase in loan operations, with higher origination in consumer credit products non collateralized. In Latin America, the increase in the provision for loan losses was mainly driven by the corporate segment in Itaú Corpbanca.
Compared to 2020, the reduction in cost of credit was driven by increased provisioning requirements in the first half of 2020, due to changes in the macroeconomic scenario and financial prospects of individuals and companies, captured by our expected loss provisioning model.

Cost of credit increased by R$968 million from the previous quarter, driven by a higher provision for loan losses mainly in the Retail business segment in Brazil, as a result of provisioning requirements driven by the growth in loan portfolio, with higher origination in consumer credit products non collateralized. This effect was partially offset by the rating upgrade of a specific client of the Wholesale Banking in Brazil and the resulting impairment reversal.
In 2021, cost of credit was down R$9,974 million on a year-on-year basis. This change is driven by changes in the macroeconomic scenario and financial prospects of individuals and companies in the first half of 2020, captured by our expected loss provisioning model, which led to an increase in the provision for loan losses in the period.

Credit Quality
Highlights
The NPL 90 days overdue ratio (NPL 90) decreased by 10 basis points from the previous quarter. The ratio in Latin America and in the corporate and very small, small and middle-market companies segments decreased. The ratio for the individuals segment increased after reaching the lowest level since the merger between Itaú and Unibanco, due to the increase in delinquency rates for vehicle financing, credit card and payroll loans.
The NPL 15 to 90 days overdue ratio (NPL 15-90) increased in the quarter, driven by the increase in the ratio for individuals in Brazil. The decrease in very small, small and middle-market companies, due to the better credit quality of recent vintages, and in Latin America, partially offset this increase.

Current Account Services
Revenue from current account services was up 4.9% from the previous quarter, driven by revenue from corporate packages, due to gains from collection of single payments by PIX (Central Bank of Brazil’s instant payment system) made by corporate clients. These facts are also responsible for the 4.9% increase on a year-on-year basis.
In the year-to-date, revenue from current account services was down 1.8%, mainly driven by lower revenue from the transfer of funds, due to the fee exemption beginning in November 2020 and the launch of PIX.
Loan Operations and Financial Guarantees Provided
Revenue from loan operations and financial guarantees provided was up 1.1% from the third quarter, driven by higher volumes of financial guarantees.
Revenue from loan operations and financial guarantees provided was up 14.8% on a year-on-year basis and up 15.7% in the year-by-year comparison, driven by the increase in the volume of mortgage loan, vehicle financing and working capital operations.
Asset Management
• Fund Management
Fund management fees were down 12.3% from the third quarter, mainly driven by lower revenues from performance fees in the period. In comparison with 4Q20, the reduction was 10.8%, driven by lower performance fees, partially offset by the higher volume.
Collection Services
Revenue from collection services remained relatively stable from the previous quarter, recording a slight decrease of 0.1%.
On a year-on-year basis and in the year-to-date, this revenue was up 2.2% and 6.9% respectively, driven by higher volumes.

Management Discussion and Analysis                Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds
Result from Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds
Highlights
The increase in the result from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds in the quarter was driven by the increase in earned premiums due to higher sales, by the increase in managerial financial margin and by lower retained claims.
In 2021, the decrease in the result from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds in the quarter was driven by higher retained claims, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that affected the entire insurance market, and by the higher recognition of a provision based on the liability adequacy test when compared to 2020.

Recurring Managerial Result     62954715.1%47432.7%2,2582,425-6.9%
The increase in the result from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations in the quarter was driven by: (i) an increase in earned premiums in all recurring insurance portfolios, mainly life and personal accidents, credit life and mortgage, due to higher sales; (ii) an increase in the managerial financial margin, driven by the higher remuneration on our assets; and (iii) a decrease in retained claims, due to the lower effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the quarter. These effects were partially offset by the recognition of a provision based on the liability adequacy test carried out this quarter on pension plans.
In 2021, the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in retained claims in the period, mainly in the life, mortgage, credit life and family protection insurance portfolios, on a year-on-year basis. Additionally, as a result of the liability adequacy test carried out on pension plans, a higher provision had to be recognized in 2021. These effects led to the decline in the result from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds in the period.

The recurring insurance activities include bancassurance products related to life, property, credit life and third party insurance policies. In the fourth quarter of 2021, earned premiums increased by 20.5%, mainly due to higher sales of life and personal accidents, mortgage, family protection and credit life insurance policies, and retained claims decreased, driven by the lower effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, on a year-on-year basis. Managerial financial margin increased, driven by the higher remuneration on our assets. The sum of these effects led to a 48.1% increase in the results of recurring insurance activities in the period.
1 Includes the earnings of affiliates, non-interest expenses, tax expenses for ISS, PIS and COFINS, income tax/social contribution and minority interests.
Note: As from 4Q20, the Familiar Protection products are considered as Insurance Recurring Activities. Previously this was treated as a Pension Plan product.

Non-interest Expenses
Highlights
Non-interest expenses increased by 4.2% compared to the previous quarter. Personnel expenses increased mainly driven by higher profit sharing expenses. Administrative expenses are seasonally higher in the fourth quarter and increased, mainly due to expenses on advertising, third-party services, facilities, materials, data processing and telecommunication.
In 2021, our efficiency ratio was 44.0% (Brazil: 42.0%), reaching the lowest level since 2016. The strategic cost management led to a 0.5% increase in expenses in Brazil on a year-on-year basis, despite the 10.1% inflation rate (IPCA) in the period. The growth in expenses in Latin America, mainly driven by the foreign-exchange variation and inflation rate, resulted in a 2.0% increase in non-interest expenses.

(1) Includes variable compensation and stock option plans. (2) Does not include ISS, PIS and COFINS. (3) Does not consider overhead allocation.
Non-interest expenses were up in the quarter, driven by: (I) higher personnel expenses, driven by higher profit sharing expenses and higher volume of training provided; and (II) higher administrative expenses, due to marketing campaigns carried out in the media in the period, to higher third-party service expenses, mainly advisory and consulting services, and to higher expenses on facilities, materials, data processing and telecommunication. In Latin America, non-interest expenses increased driven by higher IT-related personnel and administrative expenses.
Compared to 2020, non-interest expenses were up 0.5% in Brazil. During the period, our efficiency program saved approximately R$2.1 billions, more than offset by the R$1.9 billion investment in business and technology. Personnel expenses increased driven by the inclusion of ZUP’s results in net income as from the second quarter of 2020, the effects of the negotiation of the collective wage agreement and the increase in profit sharing expenses. Operating expenses were also higher, driven by the increase in expenses on credit card commissions, due to the higher transaction volume. In Latin America, expenses increased driven by foreign exchange variations and inflation rate in the period.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
We have a foreign-exchange risk-management policy associated with our asset and liability positions, primarily intended to mitigate the impacts of fluctuations in foreign-exchange rates on the consolidated results.
Brazilian tax legislation states that gains and losses arising from exchange rate variations on permanent foreign investments must be included in the tax calculation basis, based on their nature, as well as foreign-exchange variations on the hedged portions of foreign investments which, according to the new rules set forth by Law No. 14,031 of July 28, 2020, must be included in the proportion of 50% in 2021 and 100% from 2022.

The investments abroad with risk coverage had their hedges 100% adjusted at the end of 2021, as established in Law No. 14,031 of July 28, 2020. Additionally, we created structural positions in foreign currencies, with the objective of neutralizing the adverse effects of the foreign-exchange variation that affects the capital requirement of the assets on our balance sheet in these currencies and the capital that supports them. The increase in foreign investments is driven by the foreign-exchange variation during the period.

Credit Portfolio
Highlights
The individual loan portfolio was up 9.5% in the quarter and 30.2% in the 12-month period. The highlights were the increase in the credit card portfolio, which is seasonally higher in the fourth quarter, driven by the higher household consumption, in addition to the commercial changes in our product offering. Additionally, we had a historic record for mortgage loans origination in 2021, as a result the portfolio presented a growth of 8.3% and 53.7% in the quarter and in the 12-month period, respectively. Also noteworthy is the increase in personal loans.
Companies loan portfolio increased by 6.8% in the quarter and 11.3% in the 12-month period, with significant increases in (i) export and import financing; (ii) vehicle financing, as a result of higher client demand; and (iii) working capital due to the increase in demand from our customers.

Highlights
Funding from clients increased 4.3% in the quarter. In the last 12 months the growth was 5.0%, driven by (i) demand deposits, which were up 17.3%, (ii) savings deposits, which were up 6.2%. The growth in time deposits was 1.2%, where the substantial growth in Brazil due to higher demands for fixed income products driven by the rise in interest rates, was partially offset by the reduction in Chile due to the demand for liquidity from institutional clients.
The assets under management grew by 0.4% in the quarter. In the last 12 months the growth was 6.1%, driven by increases of 6.2% in our own products and 5.3% in open platform, year-on-year.

Management Discussion and Analysis                Segment Analysis
Results by Business Segment
The Pro Forma financial statements of the Retail Business, Wholesale Business and Activities with the Market and Corporation segments presented below are based on managerial information derived from internal models which more accurately reflect the activities of the business units.
Retail Business
Retail business products and services offered to both current account and non-current account holders include: personal loans, mortgage loans, payroll loans, credit cards, acquiring services, vehicle financing, insurance, pension plan and premium bond products, among others. Current account holders are segmented into: (i) Retail; (ii) Uniclass; (iii) Personnalité; and (iv) very small and small companies.
Highlights
The recurring managerial result was up 6.4% in the quarter due to higher financial margin, mainly driven by higher volume of credit and the increase in liabilities’ margin. Additionally, commissions and fees also increased, due to the growth in revenue from current account services and credit and debt cards, both issuing and acquiring activities, driven by higher transaction volumes.
Recurring managerial result was up 51.8% year-on-year. Financial margin increased due to higher volume of credit. Commissions and fees increased and the highlights were higher gains from card issuing activities, current account services and loan operations. Revenues from insurance were also higher driven by the increase in earned premiums.

Differences between IFRS and BRGAAP Financial Statements
(a)    In the adoption of IFRS 9, there was a change in the calculation model of incurred loss (IAS 39) to expected loss, considering forward-looking information. On BRGAAP, the concept of Expected Loss is used, pursuant to BACEN Resolution No. 2,682/99. 9
(b)    Under IFRS, stocks and quotas classified as permanent investments were measured at fair value and its gains and losses were recorded directly in Result. Additionally, there was a change in the model of classification and measurement of financial assets due to the new categories introduced by IFRS 9.
(c)    Under IFRS, the effect of accounting at fair value of the acquisition of interest in Porto Seguro Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A. was recognized.
(d)    Criterion for write-off of financial assets on IFRS considers the recovery expectative.
(e)    Under IFRS 16 the financial lease operations are recorded as Fixed Assets, as a contra-entry of Other Financial Liabilities. Under BRGAAP, as from September 30 th, 2015, the consideration of these transactions are now recorded in result, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,617/08.
(f)    Other Adjustments mainly comprises the difference in the eligibility of operations of the Cash Flow Hedge for purposes of IFRS and reversal of the Amortization of Goodwill under BRGAAP.

Managerial Financial Margin
The sum of the Financial Margin with Clients and the Financial Margin with the Market.
Recurring Managerial Return on Average Equity – Annualized
Obtained by dividing the Recurring Managerial Result by the Average Stockholders’ Equity. The resulting amount is multiplied by the number of periods in the year to derive the annualized rate. The calculation bases of returns were adjusted by the dividends proposed after the balance sheet closing dates, which have not yet been approved at the annual Stockholders’ or Board meetings.
Recurring Managerial Return on Average Assets – Annualized
Obtained by dividing the Recurring Managerial Result by the Average Assets.
Coverage Ratio
Obtained by dividing the total allowance balance by the balance of operations overdue for more than 90 days.
Efficiency Ratio
Obtained by dividing the Non-Interest Expenses by the sum of Managerial Financial Margin, Commissions and Fees, Result of Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds Operations and Tax Expenses (ISS, PIS, COFINS and Other Taxes).
Recurring Managerial Result per Share Calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period, including stock splits when they take place.
Dividends and Interest on Own Capital Net of Taxes
Corresponds to the distribution of a portion of the profits to stockholders, paid or provisioned, declared and posted in Stockholders’ Equity.
Market Capitalization

Tier I Capital Ratio
The sum of the Common Equity Tier I and the Additional Tier I Capital, divided by the Total Risk Weighted Assets.
Cost of Credit
Composed of the Result from Loan Losses, Impairment and Discounts Granted.
Managerial Financial Margin
Financial margin with clients
Consists of spread-sensitive operations, working capital and others. Spread-sensitive operations include: (i) the margin on assets, which is the difference between the amount received from loan operations and corporate securities and the cost of money charged by treasury banking, and (ii) the liabilities margin, which is the difference between the cost of funding and the amount received from treasury banking. The working capital margin is the interest on working capital at the SELIC interest rate.
Financial margin with the market Includes treasury banking, which manages
mismatches between assets and liabilities—Asset and Liability Management (ALM), terms, the rates of interest, foreign exchange and others, and treasury trading, which manages proprietary portfolios and may assume guiding positions, in compliance with the limits established by our risk appetite.
Mix of Products
Change in the composition of credit risk assets between periods.
Average asset portfolio
Includes the portfolio of credit and private securities, net of loans more than 60 days overdue, but excluding the effects of average exchange rate variations during the periods.
Asset spreads
Variations in the spreads on credit risk assets between periods.
Annualized average rate of financial margin with clients
Obtained by dividing the Financial Margin with Clients by the average daily balances of spread-sensitive operations, working capital and others. This figure is divided by the number of calendar days in the quarter and annualized (rising to 360) to obtain the annual rate.
Credit Quality
NPL Ratio (over 90 days)
Calculated by dividing the balance of loans which have been non-performing for longer than 90 days by the total loan portfolio.
Loans overdue for more than 90 days include the total balance of transactions with at least one installment more than 90 days overdue.
NPL Creation
The balance of loans that became more than 90 days overdue during the quarter.
Cost of Credit over Total Risk

Dear reader,
The year 2022 has arrived with an air of optimism, but also one of caution in the light of the challenges facing us, and we will push ahead with our projects of technological and cultural transformation, with the client at the center of everything we do.
As a Brazilian bank with the majority of our operations in this country, we have been significantly affected by Brazil’s economic, political and social conditions. Brazilians GDP declined by 3.9% in 2020, affected by the coronavirus outbreak. The fiscal response, the quantitative easing and the gradual resumption of economic activities led to a recovery in the second half of 2020. Following a significant advance in the 1st quarter of 2021, GDP fell back in the 2nd quarter. The volatility in the farming sector and the supply side restrictions in industry were behind this drop in performance. There was a slight reduction in the 3rd quarter because of the decline in the performance of agriculture, strongly affected by climatic problems, as well as that of the consumer goods sectors. GDP will probably shrink even further in the 4th quarter, and we are projecting growth of 4.3% for 2021. The significantly high level of the SELIC interest rate is already affecting economic activity; consequently, for 2022 we are expecting a reduction of 0.5% in GDP, due in the main to the impact of high interest rates on aggregate demand.
After reaching 2.0% p.a. in August 2020, the Central Bank of Brazil began an upward cycle starting in March 2021, with the Selic rate reaching 9.25% p.a. in December of the same year, a level considered restrictive. The tightening cycle monetary policy continued in early 2022, with the Copom decision to raise the interest rate to 10.75% p.a. in February. We expect a further increase to 11.75% at the committee meeting in March and that the Selic rate ends the cycle of growth at 12.50%, a level at which we expect it to remain until the end of this year.
The extended consumer price index, IPCA, ended the year at 10.06%. This result arose from subsequent price shocks during the year, primarily in energy prices on account of the water shortage, the tariff flag system, and gasoline prices due to higher crude oil prices. Food and industrial items also came under inflationary pressure during the year. In 2022, inflation should fall back to 5.5% because of the lower impact of past shocks and the SELIC rate, significantly above neutral. Therefore, we are expecting deflation in consumer and energy prices.
The commitment to clients remains a priority and at the end of the year our credit portfolio exceeded R$ 1 trillion
During the 1st half of 2021, we launched the #Feito com Você campaign, which is leading us to recognize that who really understands what clients want are the clients themselves . The success of our actions is due to openly listening to their needs.
Our clients are now digital, and in Itaú they are looking for the comfort and convenience of being able to have the entire offering of services and products in the palm of their hand. To that end, we initiated the implementation of an ambitious project called iVarejo 2030, which involves
completely changing clients’ experiences, giving a new meaning to the value proposal of our business on two key fronts, the Phygital                and the Omnichannel approach, but not only confined to them.
Client
With these innovations in mind, we were the first Brazilian bank to
Client    create a WhatsApp-based service for opening checking accounts, which speeds up this
process while being fully secure. The functionality is in the pilot phase with government
employees of Minas Gerais, but should be extended to all clients very soon. The aim is to reduce
bureaucracy, something still significantly attributed to the larger banks, and to afford clients the
possibility of initiating their relationship with us in the manner they prefer, while also enabling a more customized experience right from when they start their relationship with us.

We have also expanded our services through the WhatsApp channels, and in 2021 almost 5.8 million clients of the bank used the platform as a service channel, resulting in 12.6 million chats covering a range of functionalities, such as checking balances and card limits, sending 2 nd copies of credit card invoices and real estate financing payment slips, renegotiations, among others.
Our credit portfolio exceed R$1 trillion at the end of 2021
We had a growth of 18.1% compared to 2020, with important growth in all business lines in Brazil, with highlitght on the portfolio of individuals, which grew 30.1%.
We broke production records in real estate credit for private individuals, consolidating our position as the largest private bank in this market. In 2021, we originated R$46 billions, growth of 128% over the previous year. Thanks to our new digital, less bureaucratized journey, we saw an increase in our transactional NPS, which rose from 35 points in March, to 73 points in December.
Pula Parcela (Skipping Installments)
Our clients can now skip up to two consecutive installments of their real estate financing every 12 months. Adhering to Pula Parcela is 100% digital, only through the Itaú SuperApp.
Our main intention is to help our clients realize their dreams at each moment of their lives, by being close to them and supporting them during the entire real estate financing journey. The innovation of Pula Parcela will help clients organize their finances, affording them more day-to-day autonomy and flexibility.

The iti inclusive card wins the Brazil Impact Design Awards
We won the 11th edition of the Brazil Design Awards in the Positive Impact category, the country’s most important design awards ceremony, for having been the first movers in Brazil to launch cards that offer attributes of accessibility for persons with impaired vision, such as Braille, the absence of numbers in plastic and lateral cut-outs for identifying which side has to be inserted in the machines at time of payment.
With iti, our digital bank, we have expanded our strategy of attracting to our operations a new public who never had access to a full products and services portfolio before. More than 66% of the clients of iti are less than 35 years of age, which shows we are achieving our objective of attracting a younger public which, besides a less bureaucratic and more personalized journey, is seeking the convenience of having all the services they need in the palm of their hand. Confirming that we have chosen the right strategy, we have seen robust numbers of accounts being opened, 2 million of them in the last month of the year alone, amounting to 14.6 million clients on December 31, 2021. With open finance, which we have begun to implement at iti since the second quarter of 2021, we give clients with accounts at Itaú the possibility of viewing their aggregate balance on the app, with the expectation that in the future it will also be possible to consolidate the balance with other financial institutions. In 2022, open finance will bring new applications and possibilities for us to continue to increasingly innovate.
This entire strategic and technological change depends on a change of mentality, which is pervading every area of the institution. Since September, we have been testing three work formats: Hybrid with a rota system in which people have days and frequencies to work in the office; flexible hybrid, where according to necessity, specific days with a physical presence are agreed; and in-person, going to the bank on a daily basis to attend to the needs of clients, such as the commercial, wholesale and investment bank areas. Each area has been given operational autonomy to decide which formats produce the best results and greatest efficiency for their type of activity.
Reduction of the minority interest in XP Inc.
On November 26, 2020, we announced that the Board of Directors of Itaú Unibanco had approved the partial spin-off of the investment in XP inc. to a new company, XPart S.A. Following a favorable response from the US Federal Reserve Board, XPart S.A. was constituted on May 31, 2021 using the portion of the investment in XP Inc. plus R$ 10 million in cash, as determined by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on January 31, 2021. On October 1, 2021, approval was given for the takeover of XPart S.A. by XP Inc. Following the takeover, and the consequent extinguishment of XPart S.A., by XP Inc., the shareholders of Itaú Unibanco Holding who then also acquired an equity stake in XPart S.A received in substitution an equity stake in XP Inc.
Following all the events described, Itaú Unibanco Holding no longer had an equity stake in XP Inc.
However, we wish to inform that we have obtained Central Bank approval to acquire approximately 11.38% of the total capital stock of XP Inc. (bearing in mind the current volume of shares issued), as provided for in the Stock Purchase Agreement and Other Arrangements entered into on May 11, 2017 between some of our affiliates.
This transaction is expected to be consummated in 2022 following disclosure of the audited financial statements of XP Inc. for the business year ended December 31, 2021. Approval is also required from the overseas regulatory bodies in order to proceed with this acquisition.

We have zeroed the annual fee on the Instituto Ayrton Senna card, part of whose revenue is channeled to education
We continue to expand our initiative of including annual fee-free cards in our product portfolio. This time, we have removed
the tariff from a product that supports a very special cause: we are referring to the Instituto Ayrton Senna Itaucard Platinum card, which for over 20 years has contributed to education in Brazil, having helped to bring quality education to thousands of children and young people. Created under a partnership with Instituto Ayrton Senna, the product channels part of the amount its clients spend on purchases to education projects, without charging the client for this. The allocation of the resources can be monitored on the Institute’s site.
We have extended foreign currency withdrawals through the 24-Hour Banking service to all clients
Individual clients in all segments can purchase dollars and euros in cash at the 24-Hour Banking automatic teller machines The exclusive ATMs for this service are identified in gray and with the dollar and euro symbols. They are currently to be found in the Cidade Jardim, Bourbon, Villa Lobos, Pamplona and Tiete Plaza Shopping Malls in the city of São Paulo. Expansion to other points, including airports, should occur in the months ahead.
We have launched a range of personal loans for e-commerce purchases
Known as Itaú Parcela Fácil (Easy Installments), the new range is intended for those wanting to purchase higher value items for their home, family or personal use, with plans of up to 60 installments (exceeding the 24 installments on regular credit cards) and 90 days before the first payment is due. The new solution is already available for purchases of Electrolux products on the brand’s site, and will be expanded to other partners in the months ahead. This new departure is available to clients of Itaú with pre-approved personal loan limits – and in addition to the extended terms, the major advantage is that it doesn’t eat into their credit card limits.
RECLAME AQUI
Amid so many changes and challenges, we have received recognition for the best service in the following categories: banking, credit cards, co-branded credit cards, purchasing pools, auto financing, card operators and administrators at the 2021 Reclame AQUI Awards, held between September and October 2021, in which more than 800 Brazilian companies participated. This is a very important award for us, given the seriousness with which the survey is undertaken and the importance of Reclame Aqui for consumers.
We have increased our equity holding in Itaú Corpbanca
We have increased ou equity holding from 39.22% to 56.60% in the voting and total capital of Itaú Corpbanca. This increase in our equity holding took place within the scope of the capital increase of Itaú Corpbanca, by exercising subscription rights. The expected effect on our capital ratios is insignificant.
Issuance of Level 2 Subordinated Financial Notes
In September 2021, we issued Level 2 Subordinated Financial Notes in the amount of R$ 5.5 billion in a private placement with professional investors. These financial notes carry a 10-year maturity period and a repurchase option commencing 2026, subject to prior approval from the Central Bank of Brazil. The notes have been approved as part of our Common Equity Capital Level 2.

We have been chosen again to be part of the DJSI World Index, the ISE and the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index
For the 22nd consecutive year, in the 2021/2022 edition, we are part of the portfolio of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World), being the only Latin American bank to be part of this index since its creation in 1999. The DJSI World Index consists of global companies that are leaders in sustainability, representing 10% of the 2,500 largest companies on the
S&P Global BMI Index, with the best evaluation in economic, environmental and social factors. We have also been chosen to be part of the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) of the B3, for the 17th consecutive year, and we remain on the 2022 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index.
Itaú Unibanco is part of the IGPTW Index of B3
Launched in early January of 2022, the new B3 IGPTW index is a partnership between B3 and Great Place to Work (GPTW), which seeks to capture the positive results generated by companies that invest in the work environment, in other words, those that have embarked on a constant process of cultural transformation that promotes interpersonal relationships and employee development . The first portfolio of the recently launched index consists of the shares of 45 companies. Eleven of these are part of the ranking of the 150 best companies to work for, and have double the weight on the index of the other 34 companies certified by Great Place to Work (GPTW). The “As Melhores Companhias para Trabalhar” (the Brazilian version of Best Companies to Work For) Survey has been undertaken since 1997 by GPTW and the Época Negócios business magazine, and we have qualified for the 13th year. This year, we took 2nd place among companies with more than 10,000 employees. We are the best bank to work for in Brazil and one of the ten best companies for professionals with disabilities, also according to GPTW.
We have launched Brazil’s first recommended ESG portfolio consisting of fixed and variable income assets
We have made available a ground-breaking monthly portfolio of recommended fixed and variable income assets based on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria. The first edition offers 11 products, including ESG funds, social funds, stocks and shares, ETFs, COEs, certificates and bonds and securities. The document indicates different portfolio compositions, according to different profiles and bearing in mind ordinary and qualified investors. The main objectives of the initiative are to provide recommendations to clients who see ESG criteria as fundamental for their investment decisions, not only confined to indicating stocks and shares, and to use the reach of our brand as an agent of change to encourage managers, issuers and investors to consider new options and solutions for sustainable investments.

Results Analysis
The percentages of increase or decrease in this section refer to the comparison between the accumulated figures for the year 2021 in relation to the same period of 2020, unless otherwise indicated.
In 2021, net income stood at R$ 25.0 billion, up by 32.1% over the same period of the previous year.
After adjusting for exceptional items, our recurring managerial income came to R$ 26.9 billion, an increase of 45.0% over the same period of the previous year. The recurring managerial return on annualized average equity was 19.3%. The highlight was growth de 18.1% in the total credit portfolio. We give below the growth of the portfolios in the main segments:
30.1% for private individuals;
23.4% in very small, small and middle market companies in Brazil;
16.6% in large companies in Brazil;
2.8% in Latin America, growth of 10.9% after stripping out the impact of exchange rate variance in the period.
In comparison with 2020, there was growth of 11.0% in credit origination in Brazil, namely:
35.8% for private individuals, The highlight was record production in the real estate and vehicle credit portfolios;
growth of 6.3% for very small, small and middle market companies; and
growth of 0.1% for large companies.
The positive effect of the growth in the portfolio, combined with the gradual change in the portfolio mix to retail sector-related loans, resulted in growth of 8.3% in net interest margin with customers. Worthy of note is the growth observed in the final months of 2021 in credit lines like credit card financing, overdraft accounts and personal loans, products with better spreads. In addition, higher interest rates during the year had a positive effect on the return on our own working capital and on the liabilities margin. These positive effects were partially offset by lower spreads on credit products. Adding to this growth in the margin with clients, we also saw an increase in net interest margin with the market and a reduction in the cost of credit. Both movements reflect the high volatility in the market during the 1st quarter of 2020. Fees from services and insurance rose by 5.8% for the year. This income was the result of higher billings in issuing credit cards and higher returns from economic and financial advisory services on account of the increased activity on the capital markets.
Non-recurring interest expense rose by 0.5% in Brazil, even with accumulated inflation of 10.1% in the period. It is worth pointing out that we continue to invest in technology and in our business, and our efficiency program has made a decisive contribution to this performance. The increase of 2.0% in expenses in the consolidated figures refers to exchange rate variance in our Latin America operations.

Subsequent event: acquisition of the brokerage house, Idealt
In January 2022, we entered into an agreement with Ideal Holding Financeira S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Ideal”) to purchase 100% of its capital stock. The purchase will take place in two phases over the next 5 years. In the first phase, we will acquire 50.1% of the capital and voting stock of Ideal through a primary cash injection and secondary acquisition of shares amounting to approximately R$ 650 million, thereby giving us control of the company. In the second phase, 5 years later, we can exercise the right to purchase the remaining percentage (49.9%) of the capital stock of Ideal. The management and conduct of business at Ideal will remain independent in relation to Itaú Unibanco. Within this context, Ideal will continue to serve its clients, and Itaú Unibanco will not enjoy exclusivity in providing services.
This acquisition bolsters our investment ecosystem and will enable us to (i) count on the talent and expertise of the professionals of Ideal, recognized for its high innovation capability; (ii) the offer of financial products and services (“broker as a service”) under the B2B2C model using a white label platform; (iii) possible acceleration of entry into the autonomous investment agents market; and (iv) enhancement of the distribution of investment products and services to individual clients. Ideal is a 100% digital broker currently providing electronic trading and DMA (direct market access) solutions within a flexible, cloud-based platform. The investment in Ideal strengthens the commitment to our clients to search for transformative solutions in a rapidly expanding market, enabling us to expand the offering of products and services in the channels most convenient to each client profile, and the sustainable development of the business.
Conclusion of this transaction is subject to approval by the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (CADE) and the Central Bank.
Publication of the financial statements
On April 25, 2019, Law No. 13,818/19 was published in the Federal Official Gazette, amending Article 289 of Brazilian Corporate Law (Law No. 6,404/76) and removing the obligation to make the publication required by Brazilian Corporate Law in the Federal, State or the Federal District Official Gazette. Therefore, since January 1, 2022, the companies will only have to make the mandatory publications in widely-circulated newspapers published in the location where the head office is established. Our financial statements will be published in a summarized form in the “O Estado de São Paulo” newspaper and simultaneously disclosed, in full, on the website https://estadaori.estadao.com.br/publicacoes/.
Acknowledgements
Our sincere thanks to our employees who, in the face of the current crisis, have answered the call and committed themselves to keeping our operations functioning, enabling us to continue producing solid results and our thanks to our customers and shareholders for their understanding, interest and trust, which spur us on to always do our best.

Note 2 – Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
a)    Presentation
The financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries (ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED) have been prepared in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law, as amended by Laws 11,638, of December 28, 2007, and 11,941, of May 27, 2009, and with instructions issued by the National Monetary Council (CMN), the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP) and the National Superintendence of Supplementary Pensions (PREVIC), which include the use of accounting estimates for setting up provisions and valuing financial assets. The information in the financial statements and accompanying notes evidence all relevant information inherent in the financial statements, and only them, which are consistent with information used by management in its administration.
With the entry into force of the BCB Resolution nº 2/2020, as from January 2021, the Balance Sheet accounts are presented in order of liquidity and enforceability.
The presentation of the Statements of Value Added is required by the Brazilian corporate legislation and by the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to publicly-held companies. This Statement was prepared in accordance with the criteria established by Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added.
Leases are shown at present value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The related income and expenses, representing the financial results of these operations, are grouped together under Loan, Lease and Other Credit Operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Advances on exchange contracts have been reclassified from Other Liabilities – Foreign Exchange Portfolio to Loan Operations. Foreign exchange income consists of exchange rate differences on balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies. The expected credit loss for loan commitments is presented in liabilities under Allowance for Financial Guarantees Provided and Loan Commitments, but it is detailed in the notes with the Supplementary Allowance for Loan Losses.
b)    Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING relate to transactions carried out by its branches and subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad and investment funds which it controls.
In ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, goodwill recorded in subsidiaries is amortized on the basis of anticipated future profitability and appraisal reports, or upon realization of the investment, according to the rules and guidance of CMN and BACEN.
The difference in Net Income and Shareholders’ Equity between ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED (Note 15d) results substantially from the adoption of different criteria for the amortization of goodwill originating from acquisitions of investments, for recognizing transactions with minority shareholders where there is no change in control (Note 3I) and for recognizing exchange differences, prior to January 1, 2017, on foreign investments and hedging these investments, which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the parent company, net of the corresponding tax effects.
The effects of foreign exchange differences on foreign investments are classified under the heading Income on Securities and Derivatives Financial Instruments in the Consolidated Statement of Income for subsidiaries with the same functional currency as the parent company, and in Other Comprehensive Income for subsidiaries with a different functional currency.

c)    Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of Consolidated and Individual Financial Statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements, due to uncertainties and the high level of subjectivity involved in the recognition and measurement of certain items. Estimates and judgments that present a significant risk and may have a material impact on the values of assets and liabilities are disclosed below. Actual results may differ from those established by these estimates and judgments.
Topic    Notes
Consolidation    2c (I) and 2b
Fair value of financial instruments    2c (II) and 17
Provision for loan losses    2c (III) and 6
Goodwill impairment    2c (IV) and 14
Deferred income tax and social contribution    2c (V) and 11
Defined benefit pension plans    2c (VI) and 19
Provisions, contingencies and legal obligations    2c (VII) and 9
Technical provisions for insurance, pension plan and premium bonds    2c (VIII) and 8
(I)    Consolidation—subsidiaries are all those in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, either directly or through other subsidiaries, is the holder of partner rights that permanently ensure preponderance in corporate resolutions and the power to elect the majority of managers. The existence of control is assessed continuously. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is established to the date on which it ceases to exist.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany asset and liability account balances, income accounts and transaction values have been eliminated.
(II)    Fair value of financial instruments—the fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives that are not traded in active markets, is calculated by using valuation techniques based on assumptions that consider market information and conditions. The main assumptions are: historical data, information on similar transactions and pricing techniques. For more complex or illiquid instruments, significant judgment is necessary to determine the model used with the selection of specific inputs and, in certain cases, evaluation adjustments are applied to the model amount our price quoted for financial instruments that are not actively traded.
The methodologies used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments are described in Note 17.
(III)    Provision for loan losses—The analysis of the provision for loan losses from the operations granted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is conducted based on the assessment of the default classification (Ratings AA-H), on an individual or collective basis, established in CMN Resolution No. 2,682, of December 21, 1999. Management exercises its judgment in the assessment of the adequacy of the expected loss amounts resulting from models and, according to its experience, makes adjustments that may result from certain clients’ credit condition or from temporary adjustments resulting from new situations or circumstances that have not yet been reflected in modeling. In addition to the default classification the following aspects are also considered:
12-month horizon, using base macroeconomic scenarios, i.e., with no weighting; and
Highest risk classification according to the operation, client, default, renegotiation, among others.
The criteria for the provision for loan losses are detailed in Note 21.
(IV)    Goodwill impairment—The review of goodwill due to impairment reflects the Management’s best estimate for future cash flows of Cash Generating Units (CGU), with the identification of the CGU and estimate of their fair value less costs to sell and/or value in use.
To determine this estimate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED adopts the discounted cash flow methodology for a period of 5 years, macroeconomic assumptions, growth rate and discount rate.
The discount rate generally reflects financial and economic variables, such as the risk-free interest rate and a risk premium.
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    70


LOGO

 

Cash-Generating Units or CGU groups are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
(V)    Deferred income tax and social contribution—deferred tax assets are recognized only in relation to deductible temporary differences, tax losses and social contribution loss carryforwards for offset to the extent that i) it is considered probable that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED will generate future taxable income for its use; and ii) it presents a history of taxable income or income in at least three of the last five fiscal years. The expected realization of deferred tax assets is based on the projection of future taxable profits and technical studies, as disclosed in Note 11.
(VI)    Defined benefit pension plans—the current amount of pension plans is obtained from actuarial calculations, which use assumptions such as discount rate, which is appropriated at the end of each year and used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows. To determine the appropriate discount rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED considers the interest rates of National Treasury Notes that have maturity terms similar to the terms of the respective liabilities.
The main assumptions for Pension plan obligations are partly based on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 19.
(VII)    Provisions, Contingencies and Legal Obligations—ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED periodically reviews its contingencies. These contingencies are evaluated based on management´s best estimates, taking into account the opinion of legal counsel when there is a likelihood that financial resources will be required to settle the obligations and the amounts may be reasonably estimated.
Contingencies classified as probable losses are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under Provisions.
Contingent amounts are measured using appropriate models and criteria, despite the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate timing and amounts. Provisions, contingencies and other commitments are detailed in Note 9.
(VIII)    Technical provisions for insurance, pension plan and premium bonds—technical provisions are liabilities arising from obligations of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED to its policyholders and participants. These obligations may be short term liabilities (property and casualty insurance) or medium and long term liabilities (life insurance and pension plans).
The determination of the actuarial liability is subject to several uncertainties inherent in the coverage of insurance and pension contracts, such as assumptions of persistence, mortality, disability, life expectancy, morbidity, expenses, frequency and severity of claims, conversion of benefits into annuities, redemptions and return on assets.
The estimates for these assumptions are based on the historical experience of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, benchmarks and the experience of the actuary, in order to comply with best market practices and constantly review of the actuarial liability. The adjustments resulting from these continuous improvements, when necessary, are recognized in the statement of income for the corresponding period. Additional information is described in Note 8.

Decreases in the fair value of available for sale and held to maturity securities below to cost, resulting from causes not considered to be temporary, 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 for hedging, according to BACEN Circular 3,082, of January 30, 2002. Transactions involving financial instruments, carried out at a customer’s request, for the bank’s own account, or which do not comply with the hedging criteria (mainly derivatives used to manage overall risk exposure), are stated at fair value, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are recorded directly in the statement of income.
Derivatives that are used for protection against risk exposure or to modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, where changes in fair value are closely related to those of the items being protected at the beginning and throughout the duration of the contract, and which are considered to be effective in reducing the risk exposure in question, are classified as hedges of the following types:
Market Risk Hedge – Financial assets and liabilities, as well as their related financial instruments, are booked at fair value, plus realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are recorded directly in the statement of income;
Cash Flow Hedge—The effective portion of a hedge of financial assets and liabilities, and the related financial instruments, are booked at fair 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 is recorded directly in the statement of income;
Hedge of Net Investments in Foreign Operations—Accounted for similarly to a 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)    Loans, leases and other credit operations (operations with lending characteristics) – These transactions are recorded at present value and calculated pro rata on a daily basis in line with variations in a defined indexer and interest rate, and are adjusted up to the 60th day of arrears, according to the expectation of payment. After the 60th day, income is recognized only on actual receipt of payments. Credit card operations include receivables arising from purchases made by cardholders. Funds corresponding to these amounts to be paid to the credit card companies are shown as liabilities, under the heading Interbank Accounts – Receipts and Payments Pending Settlement.
f)    Provision for loan losses—The balance of the provision for loan losses is 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 include the following:
Provisions are recorded from the date on which loans are granted, based on the customer’s risk rating and on a periodic quality assessment of customers and business sectors, and not only in the event of default;
Exclusively in the case of default, losses are written off 360 days after the credits have matured, or after 540 days for operations with maturities longer than 36 months.
g)    Other assets – They are comprised of Assets Held for Sale, relating to real estate, vehicles and other assets available for sale (owned but deactivated, received as payment in kind or resulting from execution of guarantees). These assets are adjusted to fair value by setting up a provision in accordance with current regulations. This heading also covers Unearned Reinsurance Premiums (Note 3m) and Prepaid Expenses, corresponding to disbursements which will produce benefits in future years.
h)    Investments – Include goodwill identified in the acquisition of associates and joint ventures, net of any accumulated impairment loss. They are initially recognized at acquisition cost and are subsequently accounted for under the equity method.
Associates: are companies over which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has significant influence, but which it does not control.
Joint Ventures: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has joint venture whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets.
i)    Fixed assets—Are booked at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and adjusted for impairment, if applicable. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method using rates based on the estimated useful lives of these assets. Such rates and other details are presented in Note 13.
The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each period.
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED reviews its assets in order to identify indications of impairment in their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less the cost to sell and its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be identified (cash-generating units). The assessment may be made at an individual asset level when the fair value less the cost to sell can be reliably determined.
j)    Goodwill – Corresponds to the amount paid in excess in the acquisition of investments and it is amortized based on the expected future profitability or on its realization. It is semiannually submitted to the asset impairment test with the adoption of an approach that involves the identification of cash-generating units (CGU) and the estimate of its fair value less the cost to sell and/or its value in use.
The breakdown of intangible assets is described in Note 14.
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    74


LOGO

 

k)    Intangible assets – Composed of: (i) Goodwill paid upon acquisition of a company, transferred to intangible assets due to merger of the acquired company’s equity into the acquirer company; (ii) Rights on the acquisition of payrolls and association agreements, amortized according to agreement terms or as economic benefits flow to the company; and (iii) Software, amortized over five years, and customer portfolios, amortized within ten years.
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and those with indefinite useful lives are tested on a semiannually basis to identify possible impairment losses.
l)    Capital Transactions with Non-Controlling Stockholders—Changes in an ownership interest in a subsidiary, which do not result in a loss of control, are accounted for as capital transactions and any difference between the amount paid and the carrying amount of non-controlling stockholders is recognized directly in consolidated stockholders’ equity.
m)    Insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations – Insurance contracts establish, for one of the parties, upon payment (premium) by the other party, the obligation to pay the latter a certain amount in the event of a claim. Insurance risk is defined as a future and uncertain event, of a sudden and unforeseeable nature, independent of the insured’s will, which may cause economic loss when it occurs.
Once a contract is classified as an insurance contract, it remains as such until the end of its life, even if the insurance risk is significantly reduced during the period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire.
Insurance premiums, coinsurance accepted and selling expenses are accounted for upon issue of the insurance policy or in accordance with term of the insurance, through the establishment and reversal of a provision for unearned premiums and deferred selling expenses. Interest arising from fractioning of insurance premiums is accounted for as incurred. Revenues from pension contributions, gross revenue from premium bonds certificates and the respective technical provisions are recognized upon receipt.
Private pension plans
Contracts that provide for retirement benefits after an accumulation period (known as PGBL, VGBL and FGB) provide a guarantee, at the commencement date of the contract, of the basis for calculating the retirement benefit (mortality table and minimum interest rates). The contracts specify the annuity rates and, therefore, the insurance risk is transferred to the issuer from the start. These contracts are classified as insurance contracts.
Insurance premiums
Insurance premiums are recognized upon issue of an insurance policy or over the period of the contracts in proportion to the amount of the insurance coverage.
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    75

If there is evidence of impairment losses with respect to receivables for insurance premiums, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED recognizes a provision, sufficient to cover this loss, based on a risk analysis of realization of insurance premiums receivable with installments overdue for over 60 days.
Reinsurance
In the ordinary course of business, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED reinsures a portion of the risks underwritten, particularly property and casualty risks that exceed the maximum limits of responsibility that determine to be appropriate for each segment and product (after a study which considers size, experience, special features, and the capital necessary to support these limits). These reinsurance agreements allow the recovery of a portion of losses from the reinsurer, although they do not release the insurer from the main obligation as direct insurer of the risks covered by the reinsurance.
Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs include direct and indirect costs related to the origination of insurance. These costs are recorded directly in result as incurred, expect for deferred acquisition costs (commissions paid for brokerage services, agency and prospecting efforts), which are recorded proportionally to the recognition of premium revenues, i.e. over the term corresponding to the insurance contract.
Insurance Contract Liabilities
Reserves for claims are established based on past experience, claims in process of payment, estimated amounts of claims incurred but not yet reported, and other factors relevant to the required reserve levels.
Liability Adequacy Test
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED tests liability adequacy by adopting current actuarial assumptions for future cash flows of all insurance contracts in force at the balance sheet date.
Should the analysis show insufficiency, any shortfall identified will immediately be accounted for in income for the period.
n)    Provisions, Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities – these are possible rights and potential obligations arising from past events for which realization depends on uncertain future events.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, except when Management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED considers that realization is practically certain. In general they correspond to lawsuits with favorable outcomes in final and unappealable judgments and to the withdrawal of lawsuits as a result of a settlement payment received or an agreement for set-off against an existing liability.
These contingencies are evaluated based on Management’s best estimates, and are classified as:
Probable: in which liabilities are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under Provisions;
Possible: which are disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements, but no provision is recorded;
Remote: which require neither a provision nor disclosure.
The amount of deposits in guarantee is adjusted in compliance with current legislation.
Contingencies guaranteed by indemnity clauses in privatization processes and others, and with liquidity are recognized upon judicial notification with simultaneous recognition of receivables, without any effect on results.
Legal Obligations and Tax and Social Security Obligations
Represented by amounts payable for tax liabilities, the legality or constitutionality of which are subject to judicial challenge, recognized for the full amount under discussion.
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    76

o)    Allowance for Financial Guarantees Provided – Recognized based on the expected loss model, in an amount sufficient to cover any probable losses over the whole guarantee period.
p)    Income Tax and Social Contribution – There are two components of the provision for income tax and social contribution: current and deferred.
The current component is approximately the total of taxes to be paid or recovered during the reporting period.
Deferred income tax and social contribution, represented by deferred tax assets and liabilities, is obtained based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the financial statements at each period.
The income tax and social contribution expense is recognized in the Consolidated statement of income under Income Tax and Social Contribution, except when it refers to items directly recognized in Stockholders’ Equity, such as tax on marking available for sale financial assets to fair value, post-employment benefits and tax on cash flow hedges and hedge of net investment in foreign operations. Subsequently, these items are recognized in income upon realization of the gain/loss on the instruments.
Changes in tax legislation and rates are recognized in the Consolidated statement of income under Income tax and social contribution in the period in which they are enacted. Interest and fines are recognized in the Consolidated statement of income under Other administrative expenses.
Tax rates, as well as their calculation bases, are detailed in Note 11.
q)    Deferred income – this refers to: (i) interest received in advance on which there is no prospect of demand for payment and which depends only on the passage of time to be appropriated to effective income, and (ii) the negative goodwill on acquisition of investments, which has not been absorbed in the consolidation process.
r)    Post-employments benefits
Pension plans—defined benefit plans
The liability (or asset, as the case may be) is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet with respect to a defined benefit plan corresponds to the present value of the defined benefit obligations at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligations are calculated annually 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 at the rate for Brazilian treasury long term securities denominated in Reais and with maturity periods similar to the term of the pension plan liabilities.
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
Like defined benefit pension plans, these obligations are assessed annually by independent, qualified actuaries, and the costs expected from these benefits are accrued over the period of employment. Gains and losses arising from changes in practices and variations in actuarial assumptions are recognized in Stockholders’ equity, 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 Brazilian Reais, its functional and presentation currency. For each subsidiary, joint venture or investment in associates, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED defines the functional currency as the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
II—Foreign Currency Operations
Foreign currency operations are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, unless they are related to cash flow hedges and hedge of net investments in foreign operations, which are recognized in Stockholders’ Equity.

f) Derivative financial instruments
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED trades in derivative financial instruments with various counterparties to manage its overall exposure and to assist its customers in managing their own exposure.
Futures – Interest rate and foreign currency futures contracts are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument at a future date, at an agreed price or yield, and may be settled in cash or through delivery. The notional amount represents the face value of the underlying instrument. Commodity futures contracts or financial instruments are commitments to buy or sell commodities (mainly gold, coffee and orange juice) at a future date, at an agreed price, which are settled in cash. The notional amount represents the quantity of such commodities multiplied by the future price on the contract date. Daily cash settlements of price movements are made for all instruments.
Forwards – Interest rate forward contracts are agreements to exchange payments on a specified future date, based on the variation in market interest rates from trade date to contract settlement date. Foreign exchange forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another at an agreed price, on an agreed settlement date. Financial instrument forward contracts are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument on a future date at an agreed price and are settled in cash.
Swaps – Interest rate and foreign exchange swap contracts are commitments to settle in cash on a future date or dates the differentials between specific financial indices (either two different interest rates in a single currency or two different rates each in a different currency), as applied to a notional principal amount. Swap contracts shown under Other in the table below correspond substantially to inflation rate swap contracts.
Options – Option contracts give the purchaser, for a fee, the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a financial instrument within a limited time, including a flow of interest, foreign currencies, commodities, or financial instruments at an agreed price that may also be settled in cash, based on the differential between specific indices.
Credit Derivatives – Credit derivatives are financial instruments with value deriving from the credit risk on debt issued by a third party (the reference entity), which permits one party (the buyer of the hedge) to transfer the risk to the counterparty (the seller of the hedge). The seller of the hedge must pay out as provided for in the contract if the reference entity undergoes a credit event, such as bankruptcy, default or debt restructuring. The seller of the hedge receives a premium for the hedge but, on the other hand, assumes the risk that the underlying instrument referenced in the contract undergoes a credit event, and the seller may have to make payment to the purchaser of the hedge for up to the notional amount of the credit derivative.
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED buys and sells credit protection in order to meet the needs of its customers, management and mitigation of its portfolios’ risk.
CDS (Credit Default Swap) is a credit derivative in which, upon a default related to the reference entity, the protection buyer is entitled to receive the amount equivalent to the difference between the face value of the CDS contract and the fair value of the liability on the date the contract was settled, also known as the recovered amount. The protection buyer does not need to hold the reference entity’s debt instrument in order to receive the amounts due when a credit event occurs, as per the terms of the CDS contract.
TRS (Total Return Swap) is a transaction in which a party swaps the total return of an asset or of a basket of assets for regular cash flows, usually interest and a guarantee against capital loss. In a TRS contract, the parties do not transfer the ownership of the assets.
The total value of margins pledged in guarantee by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED was R$ 4,206 (R$ 14,964 at 12/31/2020) and was basically comprised of government securities.
Further information on internal controls and parameters used to manage risks may be found in Note 21—Risk, Capital Management and Fixed Asset Limits.

g)    Sensitivity analysis (trading and banking portfolios)
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED carried out a sensitivity analysis for each market risk factor considered significant. The biggest losses arising, by risk factor, in each scenario, were stated together with their impact on the results, net of tax effects, providing an overview of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s exposure under exceptional scenarios.
The sensitivity analyses of the banking and the trading portfolio shown in this report are a static evaluation of the portfolio exposure and, therefore, do not take into account management’s quick response capacity (treasury and control areas), which triggers risk mitigating measures whenever a situation of loss or high risk is identified, thus minimizing the possibility of significant losses. In addition, the study’s sole purpose is to show 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.

Scenario II: Shocks of 25 percent in fixed interest rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both up and down, taking the highest resulting losses per risk factor;
Scenario III: Shocks of 50 percent in fixed interest rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both up and down, taking the highest resulting losses per risk factor.

Note 9 – Provisions, Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities
In the ordinary course of its business, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED may be a party to legal proceedings to labor, civil and tax nature. The contingencies related to these lawsuits are classified as follows:
a)    Contingent Assets: There are no contingent assets recorded.
b)    Provisions and contingencies: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s provisions for judicial and administrative challenges are long-term, considering the time required for their questioning, and this prevents the disclosure of a deadline for their conclusion.
The legal advisors believe that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is not a party to this or any other administrative proceedings or lawsuits, in addition to those highlighted troughout this note, that could significantly affect the results of its operations.
Civil lawsuits
In general, provisions and contingencies arise from claims related to the revision of contracts and compensation for material and moral damages. The lawsuits are classified as follows:
Collective lawsuits: Related to claims of a similar nature and with individual amounts that are not considered significant. Provisions are calculated on a monthly basis and the expected amount of losses is accrued according to statistical references that take into account the nature of the lawsuit and the characteristics of the court (Small Claims Court or Regular Court). Contingencies and provisions are adjusted to reflect the amounts deposited into court as guarantee for their execution when realized.
Individual lawsuits: Related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts. The probability of loss is ascertained periodically, based on the amount claimed and the special nature of each case. The amounts considered as probable losses are recorded as provisions.
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, despite having complied with the rules in force at the time, is a defendant in lawsuits filed by individuals referring to payment of inflation adjustments to savings accounts resulting from economic plants implemented in the 1980s and the 1990s, as well as in collective lawsuits filed by: (i) consumer protection associations; and (ii) the Public Attorney’s Office, on behalf of the savings accounts holders. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED recognizes provisions upon receipt of summons, and when individuals demand the enforcement of a ruling handed down by the courts, using the same criteria as for provisions for individual lawsuits.
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has issued some decisions favorable to savings account holders, but it has not established its understanding with respect to the constitutionality of the economic plans and their applicability to savings accounts. Currently, the appeals involving these matters are suspended, by order of the STF, until it pronounces its final decision.
In December 2017, through mediation of the Federal Attorney’s Office (AGU) and supervision of the BACEN, savers (represented by two civil associations, FEBRAPO and IDEC) and FEBRABAN entered into an instrument of agreement aiming at resolving lawsuits related the economic plans, and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has already accepted its terms. Said agreement was approved on March 1, 2018, by the Plenary Session of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and savers could adhere to its terms for a 24-month period.
Due to the end of this term, the parties signed an amendment to the instrument of agreement to extend this period in order to contemplate a higher number of holders of savings accounts and, consequently, to increase the end of lawsuits. In May, 2020 the Federal Supreme Court (STF) approved this amendment and granted a 30-month term for new adhesions, and this term may be extended for another 30 months, subject to the reporting of the number of adhesions over the first period.

Labor claims
Provisions and contingencies arise from lawsuits in which labor rights provided for in labor legislation specific to the related profession are discussed, such as: overtime, salary equalization, reinstatement, transfer allowance and, pension plan supplement. These lawsuits are classified as follows:
Collective lawsuits: related to claims considered similar and with individual amounts that are not considered significant. The expected amount of loss is determined and accrued on a monthly basis in accordance with a statistical model which calculates the amount of the claims and it is reassessed taking into account court rulings. Provisions and contingencies are adjusted to reflect the amounts deposited into court as security for execution.
Individual lawsuits: related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts. These are periodically calculated based on the amounts claimed. The probability of loss is estimated in accordance with the actual and legal characteristics of each lawsuit.
Other Risks
These are quantified and accrued on the basis of the value of rural credit transactions with joint liability and FCVS (salary variations compensation fund) credits assigned to Banco Nacional.

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED recognized on June 30, 2020, adjustments to the recoverable amount of goodwill and intangible assets related to Itaú CorpBanca, in the amounts of R$ 1,593 and R$ 789. The value in use of the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) in which Itáu CorpBanca is allocated was considered and cash flows were based on the result of June 2020 and internal projects of results until 2025.
The adjustment to recoverable amount results from economic conditions on June 30, 2020, of Itaú CorpBanca’s market capitalization, discount rates applicable and other changes in variables triggered by the current uncertain macroeconomic condition that, when combined, resulted in a CGU amount lower than its book value. The discount rates used for the impairment test were 10.4% for operations in Chile and 12.3% for operations in Colombia, determined by the cost of capital calculated based on CAPM model. Long-term interest rates considered were 5.2% p.a. and 6.5% p.a. for Chile and Colombia, respectively. The most sensitive assumptions are cost of capital and perpetuity growth rate.
Impairment was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income under Other operating expenses (Note 10h).

f) Share-based payment
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries have share-based payment plans aimed at involving its management members and employees in the medium and long term corporate development process.
The grant of these benefits is only made in years in which there are sufficient profits to permit the distribution of mandatory dividends, limiting dilution to 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.
Expenses on share-based payment plans are presented in the table below:

Partner Plan (Note 10f)    (129) (241)

Total    (510) (730)
l – Partner Plan
The program enables employees and managers of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING to invest a percentage of their bonus to acquire shares and share-based instruments. There is a lockup period of from three to five years, counted from the initial investment date, and the shares are thus subject to market price variations. After complying with the preconditions outlined in the program, beneficiaries are entitled to receive shares as consideration, in accordance with the number of shares indicated in the regulations.
The acquisition price of shares and share-based instruments is established every six months as the average of the share price over the last 30 days, which is performed on the seventh business day prior to the remuneration grant date.
The fair value of the consideration in shares is the market price at the grant date, less expected dividends.

Note 17 – Fair value of financial instruments
In cases where market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions adopted, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. The estimated fair value obtained through these techniques cannot be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, cannot be achieved on immediate settlement of the instrument.
The following table summarizes the book values and estimated fair values for financial instruments:

(*) In the period, the result of Derivative Financial Instruments, as well as Adjustment to Fair Value of Securities (particularly private securities) had their amounts affected by oscillations of rates and other market variables arising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the macroeconomic scenario in the period (Note 22d).
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value are defined below:
a)    Central Bank of Brazil Deposits, Money market and Deposits received under securities repurchase agreements—The carrying amounts for these instruments are close to their fair values.
b)    Interbank deposits, Deposits, Funds from Acceptances and Issuance of Securities, Borrowings and Onlending and Subordinate Debts – They are calculated by discounting estimated cash flows at market interest rates.
c)    Securities and Derivatives Financial instruments—Under normal conditions, the prices quoted in the market are the best indicators of the fair values of these financial instruments. However, not all instruments have liquidity or quoted market prices and, in such cases, it is necessary to adopt present value estimates and other techniques to establish their fair value. In the absence of prices quoted by the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Markets Entities (ANBIMA), the fair values of government securities are calculated by discounting estimated cash flows at market interest rates, as well as corporate securities.

d)    Loan, lease and other credit operations – Fair value is estimated for groups of loans with similar financial and risk characteristics, using valuation models. The fair value of fixed-rate loans was determined by discounting estimated cash flows, at interest rates applicable to similar loans. For the majority of loans at floating rates, the carrying amount was considered to be close to their market value. The fair value of loan and lease operations not overdue was calculated by discounting the expected payments of principal and interest to maturity. The fair value of overdue loan and lease transactions was based on the discount of estimated cash flows, using a rate proportional to the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, or on the underlying collateral. The assumptions for cash flows and discount rates rely on information available in the market and knowledge of the individual debtor.
Trading securities and Available for sale securities
Level 1: Securities with liquid prices available in an active market and derivatives traded on stock exchanges. This classification level includes most of the Brazilian government securities, government securities from other countries, shares, debentures with price published by ANBIMA and other securities traded in an active market.
Level 2: Bonds, securities and derivatives that do not have price information available and are priced based on conventional or internal models. The inputs used by these models are captured directly or built from observations of active markets. Most of derivatives traded over-the-counter, certain Brazilian government bonds, debentures and other private securities whose credit component effect is not considered relevant, are at this level.
Level 3: Bonds, securities and derivatives for which pricing inputs are generated by statistical and mathematical models. Debentures and other private securities that do not fit into level 2 rule and derivatives with maturities greater than the last observable vertices of the discount curves are at this level.
All the above methods may result in a fair value that is not indicative of the net realizable value or future fair values. However, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED believes that all the method used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. Moreover, the adoption of different methods or assumptions to estimate fair value may result in different fair value estimates at the balance sheet date.

Governance of Level 3 recurring fair value measurement
The departments in charge of defining and applying the pricing models are segregated from the business areas. The models are documented, submitted to validation by an independent area and approved by a specific committee. The daily process of price capture, calculation and disclosure is periodically checked according to formally defined tests and criteria and the information is stored in a single corporate data base.
The most frequent cases of assets classified as Level 3 are justified by the discount factors used and corporate bonds whose credit component is relevant. Factors such as the fixed interest curve in Brazilian Reais and the TR coupon curve – and, as a result, their related factors – have inputs with terms shorter than the maturities of fixed-income assets.

Sensitivity Analysis of Level 3 Operations
The fair value of financial instruments classified in Level 3 is measured through valuation techniques based on correlations and associated products traded in active markets, internal estimates and internal models.
Significant unobservable inputs used for measurement of the fair value of instruments classified in Level 3 are: interest rates, underlying asset prices and volatility. Significant variations in any of these inputs separately may give rise to substantial changes in the fair value.
The table below shows the sensitivity of these fair values in scenarios of changes of interest rates or, asset prices, or in scenarios with varying shocks to prices and volatilities for nonlinear assets:

Note 19 – Post-employment benefits
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, through its subsidiaries, sponsors retirement plans to its employees.
Retirement plans are managed by Closed-end Private Pension Entities (EFPC) and are closed to new adhesions. These entities have an independent structure and manage their plans according to the characteristics of their regulations.
There are three types of retirement plans:
Defined Benefit Plans (BD): plans which scheduled benefits have their value established in advance, based on salaries and/or length of service of employees, and its cost is actuarially determined;
Defined Contribution Plans (CD): are those plans which scheduled benefits have their value permanently adjusted to the investments balance, kept in favor of the participant, including in the benefit concession phase, considering net proceedings of its investment, amounts contributed and benefits paid; and
Variable Contribution Plans (CV): in this type of plan, scheduled benefits present a combination of characteristics of defined contribution and defined benefit modalities, and the benefit is actuarially determined based on the investments accumulated balance by the participant on the retirement date.
Below is a list of benefit plans and their modalities:

a) Main Actuarial Assumptions
Actuarial assumptions of demographic and financial nature should reflect the best estimates about the variables that determine the post-employment benefit obligations.
The most relevant demographic assumption comprise of mortality table and the most relevant financial assumptions include: discount rate and inflation.
12/31/2021    12/31/2020
Mortality table (1)    AT-2000 AT-2000
Discount rate (2)    9.46% p.a. 7.64% p.a.
Inflation (3)    4.00% p.a. 4.00% p.a.
Actuarial method    Projected Unit Credit Projected Unit Credit
(1)    Correspond to those disclosed by SOA – “Society of Actuaries”, by applying a 10% increase in the probabilities of survival regarding the respective basic tables.
(2)    Determined based on market yield relating to National Treasury Notes (NTN-B) and compatible with the economic scenario observed on the balance sheet closing date, considering the volatility of interest market and models used.
(3)    Refers to estimated long-term projection.
Retired plans sponsored by foreign subsidiaries—Banco Itaú (Suisse) S.A., Itaú CorpBanca Colombia S.A. and PROSERV—Promociones y Servicios S.A. de C.V.—are structured as Defined Benefit modality and adopt actual assumptions adequate to masses of participants and the economic scenario of each country.
b) Risk Management
The EFPCs sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are regulated by the National Council for Complementary Pension (CNPC) and PREVIC, has an Executive Board, Advisory and Tax Councils.
Benefits offered have long-term characteristics and the main factors involved in the management and measurement of their risks are financial risk, inflation risk and demographic risk.
-    Financial Risk – the actuarial liability of the plan is calculated by adopting a discount rate, which may differ from rates earned in investments. If real income from plan investments is lower than yield expected, this may give rise to a deficit. To mitigate this risk and assure the capacity to pay long-term benefits, the plans have a significant percentage of fixed-income securities pegged to the plan commitments, aiming at minimizing volatility and risk of mismatch between assets and liabilities. Additionally, adherence tests are carried out in financial assumptions to ensure their adequacy to obligations of respective plans.
-    Inflation risk – a large part of liabilities is pegged to inflation risk, making actuarial liabilities sensitive to increase in rates. To mitigate this risk, the same financial risks mitigation strategies are used.
-    Demographic Risk – plans that have any obligation actuarially assessed are exposed to demographic risk. In the event the mortality tables used are not adherent to the mass of plan participants, a deficit or surplus may arise in actuarial evaluation. To mitigate this risk, adherence tests to demographic assumptions are conducted to ensure their adequacy to liabilities of respective plans.
For purposes of registering in the balance sheet the EFPCs that manage them, actuarial liabilities of plans use discount rate adherent to its asset portfolio and income and expense flows, according to a study prepared by an independent consulting company. The actuarial method used is the aggregate method, through which the plan costing Is defined by the difference between its equity coverage and the current value of its future liabilities. Observing the methodology established in the respective actuarial technical note.
When deficit in the concession period above the legally defined limits is noted, debt agreements are entered into with the sponsor according to costing policies, which affect the future contributions of the plan, and a plan for solving such deficit is established respecting the guarantees set forth by the legislation in force. The plans that are in this situation are resolved through extraordinary contributions that affect the values of the future contribution of the plan.

(*) Average duration of plan´s actuarial liabilities. h) Sensitivity analysis
To measure the effects of changes in the key assumptions, sensitivity tests are conducted in actuarial liabilities annually. The sensitivity analysis considers a vision of the impacts caused by changes in assumptions, which could affect the income for the period and stockholders’ equity at the balance sheet date. This type of analysis is usually carried out under the ceteris paribus condition, in which the sensitivity of a system is measured when only one variable of interest is changed and all the others remain unchanged.

Note 21 – Risk, Capital Management and Fixed Assets Limits
a)    Corporate Governance
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED invests in robust risk management processes and capital management that are the basis for its strategic decisions to ensure business sustainability and maximize shareholder value creation.
These processes are aligned with the guidelines of the Board of Directors and Executive which, through collegiate bodies, define the global objectives expressed as targets and limits for the business units that manage risk. Control and capital management units, in turn, support ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s management by monitoring and analyzing risk and capital.
The Board of Directors is the main body responsible for establishing guidelines, policies and approval levels for risk and capital management. The Risk and Capital Management Committee (CGRC), in turn, is responsible for supporting the Board of Directors in managing capital and risk. At the executive level, collegiate bodies, presided over by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, are responsible for capital and risk management, and their decisions are monitored by the CGRC.
Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has collegiate bodies with capital and risk management responsibilities delegated to them, under the responsibility of CRO (Chief Risk Officer). To support this structure, the Risk Area has departments to ensure, on an independent and centralized basis, that the institution’s risks and capital are managed in compliance with defined policies and procedures.
b)    Risk Management Risk Appetite
The risk appetite of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is based on the Board of Director’s statement:
“We are a universal bank, operating mainly in Latin America. Supported by our risk culture, we insist on with strict ethical standards and regulatory compliance, seeking high and increasing returns, with low volatility, through lasting relationships with our customers, accurate risk pricing, widespread funding and proper use of capital.”
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    150


LOGO

 

Based on this statement, five dimensions have been defined (Capitalization, Liquidity, Composition of Earnings, Operating Risk and Reputation). Each dimension consists of a set of metrics associated with the main risks involved, combining supplementary measurement methods, to give a comprehensive vision of our exposure.
The Board of Directors is responsible for approving guidelines and limits for risk appetite, with the support of CGRC and the CRO (Chief Risk Officer).
The limits for risk appetite are monitored regularly and reported to risk committees and to the Board of Directors, which will oversee the preventive measures to be taken to ensure that exposure is aligned with the strategies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.
Foremost among BACEN’s requirements for proper risk and capital management are the Risk Appetite
Statement (RAS) and the implementation of a continuous, integrated risk management structure, the stress test program, the establishment of a Risk Committee, and the nomination at BACEN of a Chief Risk Officer (CRO), with roles and responsibilities assigned, and requirements for independence.
Risk appetite, risk management and guidelines for employees of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED for routine decision-making purposes are based on:
Sustainability and customer satisfaction: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s vision is to be the leading bank in sustainable performance and customer satisfaction and, accordingly, we are committed to creating shared value for staff, customers, stockholders and society, ensuring the continuity of the business. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is committed to doing business that is good both for the customer and the institution itself;
Risk culture: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s risk culture goes beyond policies, procedures or processes, reinforcing the individual and collective responsibility of all employees so that they will do the right thing at the right time and in the proper manner, respecting the ethical way of doing business;
Risk pricing: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s operates and assumes risks in business that it knows and understands, avoids the ones that are unknown or that do not provide competitive advantages, and carefully assesses risk-return ratios;
Diversification: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has little appetite for volatility in earnings, and it therefore operates with a diverse base of customers, products and business, seeking to diversify risks and giving priority to lower risk business;

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has various ways of disseminating risk culture, based on four principles: conscious risk-taking, discussion of the risks the institution faces, the corresponding action taken, and the responsibility of everyone for managing risk.
These principles serve as a basis for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s guidelines, helping employees to conscientiously understand, identify, measure, manage and mitigate risks.
I—Credit risk
The possibility of losses arising from failure by a borrower, issuer or counterparty to meet their financial obligations, the impairment of a loan due to downgrading of the risk rating of the borrower, the issuer or the counterparty, a decrease in earnings or remuneration, advantages conceded on renegotiation or the costs of recovery.
There is a credit risk control and management structure, centralized and independent from the business units, that provides for operating limits and risk mitigation mechanisms, and also establishes processes and tools to measure, monitor and control the credit risk inherent in all products, portfolio concentrations and impacts of potential changes in the economic environment.
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    151


LOGO

 

The credit policy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is based on internal criteria such as: classification of customers, portfolio performance and changes, default levels, rate of return and economic capital allocated, and external factors such as interest rates, market default indicators, inflation, changes in consumption, and so on.
In compliance with CMN Resolution 4,557, of February 23, 2017, the document “Public Access Report – Credit Risk”, which includes the guidelines established by our credit risk control policy, can be viewed at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, in the section Itaú Unibanco, under Corporate Governance, Regulations and Policies, Reports.
II—Market risk
The possibility of incurring financial losses from changes in the market value of positions held by a financial institution, including the risks of transactions subject to fluctuations in currency rates, interest rates, share prices, price indexes and commodity prices, as set forth by CMN. Price Indexes are also treated as a risk factor group.
Market risk is controlled by an area independent from the business areas, which is responsible for the daily activities of (i) risk measurement and assessment, (ii) monitoring of stress scenarios, limits and alerts, (iii) application, analysis and testing of stress scenarios, (iv) risk reporting to those responsible within the business areas, in compliance with the governance of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, (v) monitoring of actions required to adjust positions and risk levels to make them realistic, and (vi) providing support for the safe launch of new financial products.
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 4,557, of February 23, 2017, and BACEN Circular 3,354, of June 27, 2007. The trading portfolio consists of all transactions involving financial instruments and commodities, including derivatives, which are held for trading. The banking portfolio is basically characterized by transactions for the banking business, and transactions related to the management of the balance sheet of the institution, where there is no intention of sale and time horizons are medium and long term.
Market risk management is based on the following metrics:
Value at risk (VaR): a 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 (Stress Test): simulation technique to assess the behavior of assets, liabilities and derivatives of a portfolio when several risk factors are taken to extreme market situations (based on prospective and historical scenarios);
Stop loss: metric used to revise positions, should losses accumulated in a fixed period reach a certain level;
Concentration: cumulative exposure of a certain financial instrument or risk factor, calculated at fair value (MtM – Mark to Market); and
Stressed VaR: statistical metric derived from the VaR calculation, with the purpose is of simulating higher risk in the trading portfolio, taking returns that can be seen in past scenarios of extreme volatility.
Management of interest rate risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) is based on the following metrics:
ΔEVE (Delta Economic Value of Equity): difference between the present value of the sum of repricing flows of instruments subject to IRRBB in a base scenario and the present value of the sum of repricing flows of these instruments in a scenario of shock in interest rates;
ΔNII (Delta Net Interest Income): difference between the result of financial intermediation of instruments subject to IRRBB in a base scenario and the result of financial intermediation of these instruments in a scenario of shock in interest rates.
In addition, sensitivity and loss control measures are also analyzed. They include:
Mismatching analysis (GAPS): accumulated exposure by risk factor of cash flows expressed at fair value, allocated at the maturity dates;
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    152


LOGO

 

Sensitivity (DV01- Delta Variation): impact on the fair value of cash flows when a 1 basis point change is applied to current interest rates or on the index rates; and
Sensitivity to Sundry Risk Factors (Greeks): partial derivatives of an option portfolio in relation to the prices of underlying assets, implied volatilities, interest rates and time.
In order to operate within the defined limits, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED hedges transactions with customers and proprietary positions, including its foreign investments. Derivatives are commonly used for these hedging activities, which can be either accounting or economic hedges, both governed by the institutional polices of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED (Note 5 – Securities and derivative financial instruments).
The structure of limits and alerts obeys the Board of Directors’ guidelines, and it is reviewed and approved on an annual basis. This structure has specific limits aimed at improving the process of monitoring and understanding risk, and at avoiding concentration. These limits are quantified by assessing the forecast balance sheet results, the size of stockholders’ equity, market liquidity, complexity and volatility, and ITAU
UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s appetite for risk.
The consumption of market risk limits is monitored and disclosed daily through exposure and sensitivity maps. The market risk area analyzes and controls the adherence of these exposures to limits and alerts and reports them timely to the Treasury desks and other structures foreseen in the governance.
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED uses proprietary systems to measure the consolidated market risk. The processing of these systems occurs in a high-availability access-controlled environment, which has data storage and recovery processes and an infrastructure that ensures business continuity in contingency (disaster recovery) situations.
At 12/31/2021, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED presented a Total VaR of R$ 696, an increase in relation to prior year (R$ 223 at 12/31/2020) due to higher exposure and higher volatility in interest rates.

III – Liquidity risk
The possibility that the institution may be unable to efficiently meet its expected and unexpected obligations, both current and future, including those arising from guarantees issued, without affecting its daily operations and without incurring significant losses.
Liquidity risk is controlled by an area independent from the business area and responsible for establishing the reserve composition, estimating the cash flow and exposure to liquidity risk in different time horizons, and for monitoring the minimum limits to absorb losses in stress scenarios for each country where ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED operates. All activities are subject to verification by independent validation, internal control and audit areas.

IV – Operating risk
Defined as the possibility of losses from failures, defects or shortcomings in internal processes, people or systems, or from external events impacting the realization of strategic, tactical or operational objectives. It includes the legal risk of inadequacies or defects in agreements signed by the institution, as well as sanctions for failing to comply with legal provisions and compensation to third parties for losses arising from the institution’s activities.
The managers of executive areas use corporate methods developed and supplied by the internal controls, compliance and operating risk area.
As part of governance of the risk management process, consolidated reports on risk monitoring, controls, action plans and operating losses are periodically presented to the business areas’ executives.
In line with the principles of CMN Resolution 4,557, of February, 23, 2017, the document entitled “Public
Access Report – Integrated Operational Risk Management and Internal Controls”, a summarized version of the institutional operating risk management policy, may be viewed on the website www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, in the section Itaú Unibanco, Corporate Governance, Regulations and Policies, Reports.
V—Insurance, private pension and premium bonds risks
The main risks related to Insurance, Private Pension and Premium Bonds portfolios are described below and defined in their respective chapters.
Underwriting risk: possibility of losses arising from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations contrary to the institution’s expectations of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, directly or indirectly associated with technical and actuarial bases adopted to calculate premiums, contributions and provisions;
Credit risk;
Market risk;
Liquidity risk;
Operating risk.
These risks are managed independently, according to their special characteristics.
VI—Emerging risks
They are those with a potentially material impact on the business in the medium and long terms, but for which there are not enough elements yet for their complete assessment and mitigation due to the number of factors and impacts not yet totally known, such as technological alternatives in replacement of traditional banking services and the demographic transition of clients in contrast to technological innovations. Their causes can be originated by external events and result in the emergence of new risks or in the intensification of risks already monitored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.
The identification and monitoring of Emerging Risks are ensured by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING
CONSOLIDATED’s governance, allowing these risks to be incorporated into risk management processes too.
VII – Social and Environmental Risk and Climate Risk
Social and Environmental risk is the possibility of losses due to exposure to social and/or environmental events related to the activities developed by the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.
Social and environmental factors are considered relevant to the business of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, since they may affect the creation of shared value in the short, medium and long term.
The Policy on Sustainability and Social and Environmental Responsibility (PRSA) establishes the guidelines, strategies and underlying principles for social and environmental risk management, based on institutional issues and addressing, through specific procedures, the most significant risks for the Institution’s operation.
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2021    154

Actions to mitigate the Social and Environmental Risk are taken based on the mapping of processes, risks and controls, monitoring of new standards related to the theme and record of occurrence in internal systems. In addition to the identification, the phases of prioritization, response to risk, mitigation, monitoring and reporting of assessed risks supplement the management of this risk at ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.
The management of social and environmental risk adopts the strategy of three defense lines: the first defense line (business areas) manages the risk in its daily activities, following the PRSA guidelines, specific processes, with the support of specialized assessment from dedicated technical teams located in Corporate Compliance, Credit Risk and Modeling, and Institutional Legal teams, that act on an integrated way in the management of all dimensions of the Social and Environmental Risk related to the conglomerate’s activities. As an example of the specific guidelines to manage this risk, business units count on the governance for approval of new products and services, which contemplates, in its assessments, the Social and Environmental Risk, ensuring the compliance with this requirement in new products approved by the Institution, as well as specific social and environmental procedures for the Institution’s operation (stockholders’ equity, branch infrastructure and technology), suppliers, credit, investments and key controls. The second line of defense, in turn, is represented by the Credit Risk and Modeling, by Internal Controls, as well as Compliance, through the Corporate Social and Environmental
Risk Management, which supports and ensures the governance of the first line’s activities. The third line of defense composed of the Internal Audit, acts on an independent manner, mapping and assessing risk management, controls and governance.
Governance also counts on the Social and Environmental Risk Committee, whose main responsibility is to assess and deliberate about institutional and strategic matters, as well as to resolve on products, operations, and services, among others involving the Social and Environmental Risk, including Climate Risk.
Climate Risk includes: (i) physical risks, arising from changes in weather patterns, such as increased rainfall and temperature and extreme weather events, and (ii) transition risks, resulting from changes in the economy as a result of climate actions, such as carbon pricing, climate regulation, market risks and reputational risks.
Considering its relevance, climate risk has become one of the main priorities for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, which supports the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and it is committed to its implementation of its recommendations. With this purpose, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is strengthening the governance and strategy related to Climate Risk and developing tools and methodologies to assess and manage these risks.
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED measures the sensitivity of the credit portfolio to climate risks by applying the Climate Risk Sensitivity Assessment Tool, developed by Febraban. The tool combines relevance and proportionality criteria to identify the sectors and clients within the portfolio that are more sensitive to climate risks, considering physical and transition risks.
The sectors with the highest probability of suffering financial impacts from climate change for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED are: energy, transport, materials and construction, agriculture, food and forestry products.

c) Capital management governance
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is subject to the regulations of BACEN, which determines minimum capital requirements, procedures to obtain information to assess the global systemic importance of banks, fixed asset limits, loan limits and accounting practices, and requires banks to conform to the regulations based on the Basel Accord for capital adequacy. Additionally, CNSP and SUSEP issue regulations on capital requirements that affect our insurance operations and private pension and premium bonds plans.
The capital statements were prepared in accordance with BACEN’s regulatory requirements and with internationally accepted minimum requirements according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

RWA = RWACPAD + RWAMINT + RWAOPAD
portion related to exposures to credit risk, calculated using the standardized approach;
portion related to capital required for market risk, composed of the maximum between the
internal model and 80% of the standardized model, regulated by BACEN Circulars nº 3,646 and nº
3,674;
= portion related to capital required for operational risk, calculated based on the standardized

III—Recovery Plan
In response to the latest international crises, the Central Bank published Resolution No. 4,502, which requires the development of a Recovery Plan by financial institutions within Segment 1, with total exposure to GDP of more than 10%. This plan aims to reestablish adequate levels of capital and liquidity above regulatory operating limits in the face of severe systemic or idiosyncratic stress shocks. In this way, each institution could preserve its financial viability while also minimizing the impact on the National Financial System.
More details on the Recovery Plan can be viewed at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, section Results and Reports, Regulatory Reports, Pillar 3 and Risk and Capital Management – Pillar 3.
IV—Stress testing
The stress test is a process of simulating extreme economic and market conditions on ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s results, liquidity and capital. The institution has been carrying out this test in order to assess its solvency in plausible scenarios of crisis, as well as to identify areas that are more susceptible to the impact of stress that may be the subject of risk mitigation.
For the purposes of the test, the economic research area estimates macroeconomic variables for each stress scenario. The elaboration of stress scenarios considers the qualitative analysis of the Brazilian and the global conjuncture, historical and hypothetical elements, short and long term risks, among other aspects, as defined in CMN Resolution 4,557.
In this process, the main potential risks to the economy are assessed based on the judgment of the bank’s team of economists, endorsed by the Chief Economist of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED and approved by the Board of Directors. Projections for the macroeconomic variables (such as GDP, basic interest rate, exchange rates and inflation) and for variables in the credit market (such as raisings, lending, rates of default, margins and charges) used are based on exogenous shocks or through use of models validated by an independent area.
Then, the stress scenarios adopted are used to influence the budgeted result and balance sheet. In addition to the scenario analysis methodology, sensitivity analysis and the Reverse Stress Test are also used.
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED uses the simulations to manage its portfolio risks, considering Brazil (segregated into wholesale and retail) and External Units, from which the risk-weighted assets and the capital and liquidity ratios are derived.
The stress test is also an integral part of the ICAAP, the main purpose of which is to assess whether, even in severely adverse situations, the institution would have adequate levels of capital and liquidity, without any impact on the development of its activities.
This information enables potential offenders to the business to be identified and provides support for the strategic decisions of the Board of Directors, the budgeting and risk management process, as well as serving as an input for the institution’s risk appetite metrics.
V – Leverage Ratio
The Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Capital Tier I to Total Exposure, calculated pursuant to BACEN Circular 3,748, of February 27, 2015. The purpose of this ratio is to be a simple measure of leverage not sensitive to risk, thus it does not consider weighting or mitigation factors. According to instructions in BACEN Circular Letter 3,706, of May 5, 2015, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has sent the Leverage Ratio monthly to BACEN, whose minimum requirement is 3%.

d)    “Coronavirus” COVID-19 relief efforts
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED monitors the economic effects of this COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and the other countries where it operates, which may adversely affect its Profit or Loss. At the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Institutional Crisis Management Committee was set up. The Executive Committee established an intensified agenda to manage the crisis, which is responsible for the monitoring the pandemic and its impacts on its operations, in addition to the government actions to mitigate the effects of this pandemic.
In Brazil, measures were taken to mitigate the impacts caused by COVID-19 throughout 2020 and 2021, by the Federal Government, the National Monetary Council (CMN) and the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), particularly:
i)    CMN Resolution No. 4,782/20, and amendments made by CMN Resolutions No. 4,791/20 and No. 4,856/20, which established, for a determined period of time, criteria for characterization of restructuring of loan operations;
ii)    CMN Resolution No. 4,803/20 and Resolution No. 4,855/20, which establish criteria for measurement of the allowance for loan losses of renegotiated operations and transactions carried out under programs established to face the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on economy;
iii)    CMN Resolution No. 4,838/20, which regulates the Working Capital Program for Business Preservation (CGPE), which contracting term ended in the fourth quarter of 2020;
iv)    CMN Resolution No. 4,846/20 which provides for loan operations for financing of payroll carried out by financial institutions, under the Emergency Employment Support Program (PESE);
v)    CMN Resolution No. 4,937/21 which regulates the Credit Incentive Program (PEC) established by Provisional Measure No. 1,057/21, with conditions similar to those of the CGPE and contracting term scheduled until December 31, 2021;
vi)    Law No. 13,999/20, and amendments made by Law No. 14,161/21, that instituted the National Support Program for Micro and Small Companies (PRONAMPE) with the purpose of developing and strengthening small businesses;
vii)    Law No. 14,042/20 that established the Emergency Program for Access to Credit (PEAC), with the purpose of making easier the access to credit and preserving companies, for the protection of jobs and income. The PEAC has two modalities: Emergency Program for Access to Credit in the modality of guarantee (PEAC-FGI) and Emergency Program for Access to Credit in the modality guarantee of receivables (PEAC-Maquininhas);
viii)    Law No. 14,148/21 which established the Emergency Program for the Recovery of the Events Sector (PERSE), which aims at creating conditions for the events sector to mitigate losses arising from the state of calamity and the Guarantee Program for Critical Sectors (PGSC), guaranteeing loan operations contracted within 180 days after the law becomes effective; and

ix)    BACEN Circular No. 3,990/20 and amendments made by BACEN Circular 3,992/20 which permits to carry out repurchase agreements in foreign currency by BACEN;
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED identified the following impacts on its results, as well as effects on estimates and critical judgments for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements:
(a)    increase in 2020 and 2021 in loan and financing operations, especially for micro, small and medium-sized companies due to the measures adopted for mitigation of the impacts of COVID-19 by the authorities with the creation of programs such as PESE, PRONAMPE, PEAC-FGI e CGPE, which balance in December 2021 is R$ 21,492. Through timely monitoring of credit standards and behavior of clients, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED maintained the regularity of its operations, despite the adverse conditions, and helped clients in the sustainable search for their financial rebalancing;
(b)    with the purpose of treating indebtedness in a structured way and giving financial impetus to clients, initiatives were established that allowed the extension of grace periods, terms and better interest rate conditions for individuals, and micro and small business clients. In December 2021 this portfolio amount to R$ 31.1 billion. In March 2020, the Program 60+ was established, which, among other measures, allowed a 60-day grace period for defaulting agreements and in mid-April the Travessia (Crossing) Program. Travessia allowed the extension of grace periods between 120 and 180 days and terms of operations between 5 and 6 years, respectively, for individual and micro and small companies clients, under better interest rate conditions;
(c)    5.4% decrease at the current period in applications of renegotiation and extension of terms for loan operations as the economic situation changed. In December 2021, 80.1% of the loan operations portfolio generated by means of these initiatives was current, 1.8% was in a grace period, 6.5% was past due between 15 and 90 days and 11.6% was past due for over 90 days;
(d)    the allowance for loan losses in the amount of R$ 48,931 was affected due to the level of risk and default, due to the changes in the financial perspectives of clients and the visible deterioration of macroeconomic variables. To fully reflect the risk of its loan operations, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED adopts the expected loss model for provisioning of operations since the moment they are granted and it is periodically updated according to the macroeconomic variables and circumstances of the client, and in 2020, in view of the pandemic, a weighting in the economic scenarios was added. In December 2021, the level of coverage of provisions in the loan portfolio of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED accounted for 241% as compared to 320% in December 2020. Specifically for the expected loss of operations that have not shown any signs of deterioration so far (default or downgrading of the client’s rating), provisioning presented a decrease of 16.9% at the current period. The credit risk governance allowed ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED a quick response for monitoring the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the loan portfolio, permitting quick access to the information needed for discussions and actions of the crisis management daily forums;
(e)    the mark-to-market component of the securities portfolio was -0.5% in the first quarter of 2020, partially due to rate fluctuations and high price volatility in the markets in the beginning of the pandemic, influencing the measurement of items stated at fair value in their different levels. In subsequent periods, variations observed in the mark-to-market component are not necessarily related to the effects of the pandemic;
(f)    due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2020, the instability in the variable income market was noted causing a migration to fixed income instruments with liquidity. This movement resulted in the increase in the Bank Deposit Certificates portfolio; however, over 2021, variation in the portfolio was noted, with changes not necessarily related to the effects of the pandemic. With the purpose of mitigating the system’s liquidity risk, BACEN made available in 2020 to financial institutions credit lines through repurchase agreements in foreign currency and purchase of financial bills with guarantee, and operations in the total amount of R$ 30,547 were contracted during the period of life of these lines;
(g)    increase in the recognition of deferred income tax and social contribution in 2020 due to the greater volume of deductible temporary differences recorded for the period. The pandemic reduced the projections of taxable income, however, it was not responsible for the generation of tax loss and social contribution loss carryforwards in ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED. In the period, there were no significant impacts of the pandemic in the recognition of deferred income tax and social contribution in ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED; and

(h)    increase in expenses with claims related to COVID-19 of R$ 361 in the period, mainly related to credit life and life insurance.
There was a reduction in the face-to-face service staff and an increase in the spacing between people in call centers to reduce the circulation of people and the possibilities of contagion. The average number of people circulating in administrative centers was reduced, since they started to work remotely. Employees in the central management, service centers and digital branches are substantially working from home. It should be noted that despite the aforementioned measures, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED maintains its operating activities.
In order to reduce the effects of the crisis and ensure the employee’s health and safety, self-declaration was encouraged for employees who consider themselves at risk and those who cannot work remotely were put on vacation. In 2020, with the purpose of supporting those who possibly had additional expenses due to the current crisis, the 13th salary was advanced in full. Additionally, a process of communication and transparency with employees was established through e-mails, internal employee’s portal and periodic videos prepared by our Chief Executive Officer communicating news related to COVID-19. At the branches, masks were delivered to all employees who work in customer service, acrylic protections were implemented and cleaning protocols were reviewed.
The adaptation of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED in the crisis is the result not only of investments in technology, which allows for these virtual interactions, but also of investments in flexibility in the work environment, such as work from home, communities integrated between different areas of the bank and new layouts in the administrative centers that promote the employees’ mobility.
In 2020, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED created the initiative “Todos pela Saúde” (All for
Health) from the donation of R$ 1 billion, with the purpose of combating the new Coronavirus and its effects on Brazilian society. “Todos Pela Saúde” is conducted based on four axes: Informing, Protecting, Caring, and Resuming.
In February 2021, the “Todos pela Saúde” initiative was formalized as an Institute, and ongoing actions are being maintained. The mission of the “Todos pela Saúde” Institute is to contribute to strengthening and innovation in the health surveillance area in Brazil. The activities to be developed include both research funding and genomic (or metagenomic) surveys, in addition to the training of field epidemiologists.
In April 2021, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED worked together with competitors to combat hunger resulting from the pandemic and the economic crisis. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED contributed for the purchase and distribution of food staples.

Why it is a Key Audit Matter    How the matter was addressed in the audit
Provision for Loan Losses (Notes 2 (c) III, 3(f) and 6)
The calculation of the provision for loan losses is subject to Management’s judgment. The identification of situations relating to the recoverable value of receivables and the determination of the provision for loan losses is a process that involves a number of assumptions and factors, including the counterparty’s financial condition, the expected future cash flows, the estimated amounts of recovery and realization of guarantees.
The utilization of different modeling techniques and assumptions could result in a different estimate of recoverable amounts. Furthermore, managing the credit risk is complex and depends on the completeness and integrity of the related database, including guarantees and renegotiations as these are important aspects on determining the provision for loan losses.
Furthermore, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic environment, management revised some of the judgments and estimates used in determining the Provision for Loan Losses, such as the weighting of macroeconomic scenarios, in order to adapt the assumptions previously applied to the current scenario of the Bank’s operations and its subsidiaries.
Considering the matters mentioned above, this continued to be an area of focus in our audit.
Our audit procedures considered, among others:
Tests of the design and effectiveness of the main controls used to calculate the provision for loan losses, including: (i) totality and integrity of the database; (ii) models and assumptions adopted by Management to determine the recoverable value of the credit portfolio; (iii) monitoring and valuation of guarantees; (iv) identification, approval, and monitoring of renegotiated transactions; and
(v) processes established by Management to meet the standards of the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) and National Monetary Council (CMN) in relation to the provision for loan losses, as well as the disclosures in notes to the financial statements.
For the individually calculated provision for loan losses, we tested the relevant assumptions adopted to identify instances of impairment and the resulting rating of the debtors, as well as the expected future cash flows, underlying guarantees, and the estimates of recovery of overdue receivables.
For the provision for loan losses calculated on a collective basis, we tested the models and complementary criteria, including the model approval process and the validation of the assumptions used to determine the loss and recovery estimates, as well as the consistency of the models with those applied in
previous periods.
Tests of the data inputs for these models, and, when available, compared the data and assumptions used with market information.
We believe that the criteria and assumptions adopted by Management in determining and recording the provision for loan losses are appropriate and consistent.

Why it is a Key Audit Matter    How the matter was addressed in the audit
3(d),5 and 17)
The fair value measurement of financial instruments with low liquidity and/or without an active market requires subjectivity, considering that it depends on valuation techniques based on internal models that involve Management’s assumptions for their valuation.
In addition, management of market risk is complex, especially during periods of high volatility, as well as in situations where observable prices or market parameters are not available. These financial instruments are substantially comprised of investments in securities issued by companies and
derivative contracts.
This continues as an area of focus of our audit since the utilization of different valuation techniques and assumptions could lead to materially different fair value estimates.
Our audit procedures consider, among others:
Tests of the design and the effectiveness of the main controls established for the fair valuation of these financial instruments, as well as the approval of models and related disclosures.
With the support of our specialists we analyzed the main methodologies used to fair value these financial instruments and the assumptions adopted by Management, by comparing them with independent methodologies and assumptions. We reperformed, on a sampling basis, the fair valuation of certain operations and compared the assumptions and methodologies used by Management with our knowledge about fair valuation practices, which are commonly adopted as well as evaluated the consistency of these methodologies with the ones applied in prior periods.
We considered that the criteria and assumptions adopted by Management to measure the fair value of these financial instruments and derivatives are appropriate and consistent with the information disclosed in the notes of the financial statements.
Information technology environment
The Bank and its subsidiaries rely on their technology structure to process their operations and prepare their financial statements. Technology represents a fundamental aspect on the Bank and its subsidiaries’ business evolution and, over the last years, significant short and long-term investments have been made in the information technology systems and processes.
The technology structure is comprised of more than one environment with different processes and segregated controls. Additionally, in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, a substantial part of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ teams are still performing their activities remotely (home office), which generates the need to adapt technology processes and infrastructure to maintain the continuity of operations.
As part of our audit procedures, with the support of our specialists, we assessed the information technology environment, including the automated controls of the application systems that are significant for the preparation of the financial statements.
The procedures we performed comprised the combination of assessment and tests of relevant controls, as well as the performance of tests related to the information security, including the access management control segregation of duties and monitoring the operating capacity of technology infrastructure.
The audit procedures applied resulted in appropriate evidence that were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of other audit procedures.

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.
Why it is a Key Audit Matter    How the matter was addressed in the audit
The lack of adequacy of the general controls of the technology environment and of the controls that depend on technology systems may result in the incorrect processing of critical information used to prepare the financial statements, as well as risks related to information security and cybersecurity. Accordingly, this continued as an area of focus in our audit.
Provision and contingent liabilities (Notes 2 (c) VII, 3(n) and 9)
The Bank and its subsidiaries have provisions and contingent liabilities mainly arising from judicial and administrative proceedings, inherent to the normal course of their business, filed by third parties, former employees, and public agencies, involving civil, labor, tax, and social security matters.
In general, the settlement of these proceedings takes a long time and involve not only discussions on the matter itself, but also complex process-related aspects, depending on the applicable legislation.
Besides the subjective aspects in determining the possibility of loss attributed to each case, the evolution of case law on certain causes is not always uniform. Considering the materiality of the amounts and the uncertainties and judgments involved, as described above, in determining, recording and disclosing the required items, we continue to consider this an area of audit focus.
We confirmed our understanding and tested the design and the effectiveness of the main controls used to identify, assess, monitor, measure, record, and disclose the provision for contingent liabilities, including the totality and the integrity of the database.
We tested the models used to quantify judicial proceedings of civil and labor natures considered on a group basis. We were supported by our specialists in the labor, legal, and fiscal areas, according to the nature of each proceeding.
Also, we performed external confirmation procedures with both internal and external lawyers responsible for the proceedings.
We considered that the criteria and assumptions adopted by Management for determining the provision, as well as the information disclosed in the explanatory notes, are appropriate.
Others matters
Statements of added value
The parent company and consolidated statements of added value for the six-month period and year ended on December 31, 2021, prepared under the responsibility of the Bank’s management, which presentation is required by the Brazilian Corporate Law for listed companies and treated as supplementary information for purposes of BACEN, were submitted to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the financial statements. For the purposes of forming our opinion, we evaluated whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09, “Statement of Added Value”. In our opinion, these statements of added value have been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in the Technical Pronouncement and are consistent with the parent company and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.
Other information accompanying the parent company and consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report
The Bank’s management is responsible for the other information which comprise the Management Report and the Management Discussion and Analysis Report.
Our opinion on the parent company and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report or the Management Discussion and Analysis Report, and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.
In connection with the audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and the Management Discussion and Analysis Report and, in doing so, consider whether these reports are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in the Management Report or in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company and consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to institutions authorized to operate by 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.
In preparing the parent company and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance in the Bank and its subsidiaries are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company and the consolidated financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that the audit conducted in accordance with the Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 of the Bank and its subsidiaries.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the parent company and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and that we communicated to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

SUMMARY OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
SECOND HALF OF 2021.
The Audit Committee (Committee) is a statutory body reporting to the Board of Directors (Board) and operating in accordance with the provisions set forth in its Charter (available at: https://www.itau.com.br/investor-relations/). It is currently made up of six independent full-time members, one of whom is a member of the Board, all of them elected in accordance with the criteria stipulated in the regulations of the National Monetary Council (CMN), the National Council for Private Insurance (CNSP), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the NYSE rules, in the last two cases concerning what is applicable to Foreign Private Issuers (FPIs). Ricardo Baldin meets the requirement for at least one of the Committee’s members to have the expertise to be qualified as a financial expert.
The Committee is the sole one for institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN) and for the companies supervised by the Superintendence for Private Insurance (SUSEP) that are part of the Itaú Unibanco Financial Conglomerate, which encompasses Itaú Unibanco and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Conglomerate). As it concerns its operations, the Committee complies with the regulatory requirements of the CMN, CNSP, Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and those applicable to FPIs, and it is responsible for overseeing internal control and risk management processes and the activities carried out by the internal audit and the Conglomerate’s independent auditors.
The Committee’s oversight process is based on information received from Management, presentations submitted by the different business and support departments, the results of the work undertaken by the independent auditors, internal audit and those responsible for risk and capital management, internal controls and compliance, as well as on its own direct observation analysis.
Management is responsible for preparing the financial statements of the Conglomerate and for setting out the procedures required to ensure the quality of the processes producing the information used in the preparation of the financial statements and financial reports. Management is also responsible for risk control and monitoring activities, supervising the corporate internal control and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
The mission of Internal Audit is to ascertain the quality and adherence of the internal control, risk and capital management systems, and the compliance with defined policies and procedures, including those employed in the preparation of accounting and financial reports.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes (PwC) is responsible for the independent audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., and must certify whether these statements fairly represent, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of the Conglomerate and the individual and consolidated performance of operations in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices and international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). PwC is also responsible for auditing the financial statements of the Prudential Conglomerate. Additionally, these auditors must issue an annual opinion on the quality and effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting.
Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes is responsible for the independent audit of the financial statements of the Conglomerate group companies prepared in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices.
Activities of the Committee
The Committee’s annual work plan is prepared early in each year, taking into account the main products and processes related to the Conglomerate’s business and supporting departments, as well as their potential impacts on the financial statements and internal control and risk management system; it is periodically reviewed as activities progress.
Based on corporate decisions, the Committee held virtual meetings, with changes and ad hoc rescheduling, in order to ensure that the main risks were monitored. These actions included discussions with the technology and security departments about the infrastructure for supporting remote environment operations, and, in fulfilling its duties, the Committee has engaged in the following activities, among others:

The role of the Compliance department in the Conglomerate’s key projects was discussed and the Operational Risk Office submitted its work plan for 2022.
Independent Auditor – There is a regular communication channel with the independent auditor for discussing the scope, planning and results of their work, attention points and significant accounting issues. Aspects involving SOX Certification, IFRS/SEC (20F) and the independent auditor’s assessment of the quality and adequacy of the internal control systems were presented and discussed with the Committee. The independent auditor of the Conglomerate, and the auditor in charge of the independent audit of the group companies, informed the Committee that, during the audit work on the financial statements, they did not identify any aspects that could have a material impact on the regulatory capital, other regulatory indicators or information provided to the regulator. The Committee has been monitoring the developments of a lawsuit involving PwC Chile and its potential impacts on the reputational risk and continuity of service provision, which require the assessment of measures to be adopted in the future.
PwC and EY have reported the internal quality control process for audit and independence and the results of quality reviews internally carried out by peers or regulators. Additionally, the independent auditors have also provided information on compliance with approval requirements for certification exam and the minimum number of hours in continuing education programs that professionals with managerial roles must have.
As part of its duties, the Committee has led the 2022 fee negotiation process with the Conglomerate Independent Auditor.
Internal Audit – Monthly meetings were held with the Chief Internal Audit Executive and with the departments comprising the Internal Audit (IA) department of the Conglomerate to monitor the execution of the planning and the proposed changes, the results of the work undertaken, the main reports issued, conclusions and recommendations.

The Committee resolved on the approval of the Internal Audit’s work plan for 2022 and on recommending its approval from the Board. The Committee has been monitoring the Internal Audit’s initiatives regarding the proposal to act on the 2nd and 3rd lines of defense on an integrated basis, taking into account the possibility of using the work performed by each department, and to carry out a review of the dynamic planning. It should be noted that the Internal Audit operations in international units are aligned with the IA operations in Brazil.
Financial Statements – The main criteria adopted in the preparation of the financial statements, as well as the notes thereto, the management report and the report of the independent auditors were submitted by Management and the independent auditors to the Committee. The Committee also received information about the preparation and disclosures of the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Meetings were held with the Operations and Payment Office to monitor the control environment of the finance, personnel, tax and payment, labor, civil and official communication areas, as well as of the Finance department in connection with significant regulations.
Allowance for loans losses – At a joint meeting between the Executive Finance Office and the Internal Audit, the main aspects related to allowance for loans losses were presented to the Committee. Management, the internal audit department and the independent auditors discussed the consistency over time in applying the criteria for calculating the allowance for loan losses, the changes arising from the new information and the variances in this provision in key segments.

In the course of carrying out its work, the Committee did not identify incidents of fraud or non-compliance with rules and regulations or errors on the internal control, accounting and audit areas that could jeopardize the Conglomerate’s continuity.
Conclusions
Having duly considered its responsibilities and the limitations inherent in the scope of its operations, and based on the activities undertaken in the period, the Committee has concluded that in the six-month period ended December 31, 2021:
The internal control systems, compliance policy and the risk and capital management structures are appropriate for the size and complexity of the Conglomerate and the approved risk appetite;
The coverage and quality of the Internal Audit work are satisfactory, and it operates with appropriate independence;
The significant accounting practices adopted by the Conglomerate are in line with those adopted in Brazil, including those required by the Central Bank of Brazil, and the international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); and
The information provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes (PwC), on which the Committee bases its recommendations on the financial statements, is adequate, and no situation has been identified that could impair the objectivity and independence of the Independent Auditor.
Based on the work and the assessments undertaken and taking into account the context and limitation of its duties, the Committee recommends the approval, by the Board of Directors, of the consolidated financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. for the year and the six-month period ended December 31, 2021.
