RESULTS AND ACTIVITY IN 2018

On 1 January 2018, IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments entered into force, replacing IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement, and establishing new rules for the recognition of financial instruments, introducing relevant changes, particularly as regards the methodology for impairment calculation. The adoption of this accounting standard had an impact on the structure of the Millennium bcp financial statements compared to 31 December 2017, largely influenced by the adjustments associated with the transition, and did not materially affect the profit and loss account of 2018.

In this context, some indicators were defined according to management criteria aiming to help the comparability with financial information presented in prior periods. Following the guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the relevant indicators that allow a full understanding of the evolution of the Group's economic and financial position are detailed at the end of this document, being reconciled with the accounting values published in the consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS

The net income of Millennium bcp showed a favourable performance, with a 61.5% growth from Euro 186.4 million obtained in 2017, reaching Euro 301.1 million in 2018. This change mainly benefited from the strong recovery of the activity in Portugal, but also reflects the greater contribution of the international activity compared to the previous year.

In the activity in Portugal, net income increased significantly, compared to Euro 39.0 million registered in 2017, achieving Euro 115.5 million in 2018. It should be noted, in this performance, the significant reduction of impairments and provisions.

In the international activity, net income in 2018 increased 27.8% from the Euro 146.2 million obtained in the previous year, reaching Euro 186.9 million, due to the favourable performance of all the subsidiaries, highlighting the increase in the contribution of the subsidiaries in Poland and Mozambique and of Banco Millennium Atlântico in Angola.

Net interest income presented a 2.3% growth compared to Euro 1,391.3 million registered in 2017, amounting to Euro 1,423.6 million in 2018.

In the activity in Portugal, net interest income was almost in line with the figures accounted in the previous year (slightly lower by 0.6%) standing at Euro 803.3 million in 2018, reflecting the reduction in the cost of funding, namely the decrease in the cost of issued debt and the decreasing trend in the costs of term deposits, which was offset by the reduction in the interest generated by loans and debt securities portfolios.

In the international activity, net interest income increased by 6.3%, from Euro 583.4 million registered in 2017, to Euro 620.3 million in 2018, mainly driven by the performance of the Polish subsidiary, but also, to a lesser extent, by the performance of net interest income in the subsidiary in Mozambique.

Net interest margin in 2018 stood at 2.21%, in line with 2017 (2.22%, excluding the impact from the cost of CoCos).

Note: Interest related to hedge derivatives was allocated, in December 2018 and 2017, to the respective balance sheet item.

Net commissions increased 2.6%, from the amount recorded in 2017, reaching Euro 684.0 million in 2018, benefiting from the favourable performance of the activity in Portugal, where net commissions rose 4.3%. This change was supported by banking commissions in the activity in Portugal, which showed a growth of 4.8%.

Net trading income stood at Euro 78.5 million in 2018, compared to Euro 148.4 million accounted in the previous year, mainly reflecting the performance of the activity in Portugal, in particular the unfavourable effect from loan sales, which recognized losses in the amount of Euro 49.4 million.

Other net operating income, which, among others, includes the costs associated with mandatory contributions as well as with the Resolution Fund and the Deposit Guarantee Fund in both Portugal and international activity, evolved favourably compared to the negative Euro 102.3 million accounted in 2017, totalling Euro 89.5 million also negative in 2018, supported by the favourable performance of the activity in Portugal.

In the activity in Portugal, other net operating income registered a significant improvement from the negative Euro 50.0 million recognized in 2017, totalling an also negative Euro 32.3 million in 2018. This evolution mainly reflects the income associated with non-current assets held for sale, that increased Euro 24.3 million from 2017, which were offset by the increase in costs associated with regulatory contributions in the total amount of Euros 66.5 million in 2018 compared to Euro 57.9 million registered in the previous year.

In the international activity, other net operating income was negative by Euro 57.2 million in 2018, which compares with the also negative Euro 52.2 million registered in 2017, conditioned by the increase of mandatory contributions, which stood at Euro 71.5 million in 2018 compared to Euro 67.8 million in the previous year. The mandatory contributions in the international activity were almost entirely supported by the Polish subsidiary, whose other net operating income performance was also influenced by the recognized gains in 2017 related to real estate disposal and indemnity received. The unfavourable evolution of other net operating income in the Polish operation was partially offset by the positive contribution of the operation in Mozambique in 2018, compared to the previous year.

Dividends from equity instruments, which comprise dividends received from investments classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and as financial assets held for trading, together with equity accounted earnings, totalled Euro 89.8 million in 2018, decreasing 3.8% from the amount achieved in 2017.

Operating costs, excluding the effect of specific items*, stood at Euro 997.8 million in 2018, compared to Euro 968.4 million accounted in the previous year, reflecting the increase registered in both the activity in Portugal and the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, operating costs, excluding the impact of specific items, reached Euro 611.8 million in 2018, which compares to Euro 601.8 million accounted in 2017, influenced by the salary readjustment from July 2017.

In the international activity, operating costs increased 5.3% from the amount obtained in the previous year, totalling Euro 386.0 million in 2018, mainly due to the performance of the Polish subsidiary, but also, of the subsidiary in Mozambique.

* Unfavourable impact of Euro 29.4 million in 2018, mainly related to restructuring costs recognized as staff costs in the activity in Portugal and favourable impact of Euro 14.2 million in 2017, related to restructuring costs and the revision of Collective Lab. Agt, also accounted as staff costs in the activity in Portugal.

Staff costs, not considering the impact of the abovementioned specific items, totalled Euro 566.1 million in 2018 increasing 4.7% from the amount registered in the previous year, justified by the higher level of costs in both the activity in Portugal and the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, staff costs excluding the impact of specific items increased 3.7% from 2017, reaching Euro 359.3 million in 2018, mainly influenced by the decision of the Board of Directors of the Bank to end, in advance, with effect from 30 June 2017, the temporary salary adjustment that had been in force since July 2014, following the full reimbursement of CoCos. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in the number of employees, from 7,189 as at 31 December 2017 to 7,095 employees at the end of December 2018.

In the international activity, staff costs increased 6.4% from the previous year, amounting to Euro 206.8 million in 2018, mainly due to the performance of the Polish subsidiary.

Other administrative costs, excluding Euro 2.7 million registered in 2018, associated with the ongoing digital transformation project and considered, for comparison purposes, as specific items, stood at Euro 374.0 million, in line with the amount accounted in the previous year, as the savings obtained in the activity in Portugal were offset by the higher costs in the international activity.

The performance of other administrative costs in Portugal in 2018, compared to the amounts registered in 2017 (2.7% lower, excluding the impact of the specific items already mentioned), shows the positive impact of the ongoing rationalization and cost containment measures, namely those related to the resizing of the distribution network (546 branches as at 31 December 2018, compared to 578 branches at the end of 2017).

The evolution of other administrative costs in the international activity in 2018, compared to the previous year, was mainly influenced by the cost increase observed in the subsidiaries in Poland and in Mozambique.

Depreciation costs totalled Euro 57.7 million in 2018, which compares to Euro 53.6 million registered in the previous year, mainly driven by the increase in the activity in Portugal, in particularly in costs related to IT equipment and software, and also, to a lesser extent, by an increase in depreciation costs in the international activity, mainly due to the performance of the subsidiary in Mozambique.

Impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) presented a 25.3% reduction from Euro 623.7 million recognized in 2017, standing at Euro 465.9 million in 2018, which represents an improvement of the cost of risk (net) that, in consolidated terms, stood at 92 basis points in 2018 (122 basis points in 2017).

The evolution of impairment for loan losses mainly reflects the performance of the activity in Portugal, despite the favourable contribution of the international activity, namely the subsidiary in Poland.

Other impairment and provisions showed a significant decrease from the Euro 301.1 million accounted in 2017 (55.1% lower), to Euro 135.2 million at the end of 2018, mostly benefiting from the lower level of provisions for the real estate and financial assets portfolios and for goodwill, despite the strengthening of provisions to guarantees and other commitments.

Income tax (current and deferred) amounted to Euro 138.0 million in 2018, compared to Euro 30.2 million obtained in 2017.

The recognized taxes include, in 2018, current tax of Euro 105.6 million (Euro 102.1 million in 2017) and deferred tax of Euro 32.5 million (income of Euro 72.0 million in 2017). The deferred tax income for 2017 resulted from the increase of the State Surcharge tax rate in Portugal applicable to taxable income exceeding Euro 35 million, from 7% to 9%, for taxation periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets rose to Euro 75,923 million as at 31 December 2018, compared to Euro 71,939 million registered at the end of the previous year, mainly boosted by the growth of the securities portfolio, but also by the increase of the loans to customers portfolio and deposits at Central Banks and other credit institutions. This evolution was mainly offset by the reduction of non-current assets held for sale, namely foreclosed assets, as well as of other assets.

Loans to customers (gross) was in line with the amounts registered as at 31 December 2017 (slightly higher by 0.2%), and stood at Euro 51,032 million as at 31 December 2018.

In the activity in Portugal, loans to customers (gross) stood at Euro 37,187 million as at 31 December 2018, comparing to Euro 37,996 million accounted at the end of the previous year. In this change, it is worth noting, on the one hand, the reduction of Euro 1,957 million from NPE, compared to 31 December 2017, standing at Euro 4,797 million at the end of 2018 and on the other, the evolution of performing loans, which increased Euro 1,149 million, benefiting from the strong performance of loans to companies, in particular as regards the new leasing and factoring loans.

In the international activity, loans to customers (gross) increased 6.8% from Euro 12,960 million as at 31 December 2017, standing at Euro 13,845 million as at 31 December 2018, essentially due to the performance of the Polish operation.

The structure of the loans to customers' portfolio showed identical and balanced levels of diversification between the end of December 2017 and 2018, with loans to companies representing 46% of total loans to customers as at 31 December 2018.

Credit quality registered a favourable change compared to the end of 2017, supported by the improvement in the respective indicators, namely the generalized decrease of the ratios of overdue loans by more than 90 days, NPLs more than 90 days overdue and NPE as a percentage of total loans to customers as at 31 December 2018, mainly due to the performance of the activity in Portugal. At the same time, there was an increase of coverage for impairment, common to all indicators, with the reinforcement of the coverage of NPE by impairments, which grew from 43.4% as at 31 December 2017 to 52.4% as at 31 December 2018. In the activity in Portugal, the coverage of NPE for impairment stood at 49.7% as at 31 December 2018 compared to 42.4% at the end of the previous year.

Total customer funds(*) increased 5.2% from Euro 70,344 million registered as at 31 December 2017, reaching Euro 74,023 million at the end of December 2018. This evolution was due to the good performance of both the activity in Portugal and the international activity, namely the performance of balance sheet customer funds, where growth was determined by the favourable performance of deposits and other resources from customers which, on a consolidated basis, increased 7.9% from 31 December 2017.

In the activity in Portugal, total customer funds increased 4.6% comparing to Euro 50,907 million at the end of December 2017, standing at Euro 53,261 million as at 31 December 2018, reflecting the growth of Euro 2,391 million of deposits and other resources from customers compared to the end of previous year.

In the international activity, total customer funds increased 6.8% from Euro 19,437 million registered as at 31 December 2017, reaching Euro 20,763 million at the end of December 2018, based on the performance of deposits and other resources from customers, whose 10.5% growth was determined by the performance of the Polish subsidiary.

As at 31 December 2018, balance sheet customer funds represented 76% of total customer funds, with deposits and other resources from customers representing 75% of total customer funds.

The loans to deposits ratio, in accordance with the Bank of Portugal's Instruction no. 16/2004, improved from 93% as at 31 December 2017 to 87% at the end of December 2018. The same ratio, considering on-balance sheet customers' funds, stood at 85% as at 31 December 2018 (90% as at 31 December 2017).

The securities portfolio rose to Euro 17,025 million as at 31 December 2018, representing 22.4% of total assets on the same date. As at 31 December 2017, the securities portfolio represented 18.0% of total assets, standing at Euro 12,924 million. The evolution of the securities portfolio compared to the end of the previous year, was mainly determined by the performance of the activity in Portugal, namely by the increase in the public debt portfolio. Also of note is the increase of the securities portfolio in the international activity recorded in the balance sheet of the operations in Poland and Mozambique.

(*) As at 30 June 2018, the concepts underlying the determination of off-balance sheet customer funds were adjusted to reflect the new legal and regulatory framework imposed by the Financial Instruments Markets Directive II (MiFID II), as well as changes implemented regarding the perimeter considered and the criteria adopted, namely with regard to the inclusion of amounts held by customers in the context of the placement of third-party products that contribute to the recognition of commissions ("assets placed with customers"). The information with reference to the end of December 2017 is presented according to the new criteria.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) stood at 218% at the end of December 2018, on a consolidated basis, comfortably above the minimum requirement of 100%, supported by highly liquid asset portfolios in an amount compatible with the prudent management of the Group's short-term liquidity, having evolved favourably compared to the same date last year (158%).

At the same time, the Group has a strong and stable financing base, characterized by the large share of customer deposits in the funding structure, collateralized financing and medium and long-term instruments, which enabled the stable financing ratio (NSFR; Net Stable Funding Ratio) as at 31 December 2018 to stand at 133% (124% as at 31 December 2017).

In 2018, on a consolidated basis, there was an increase of Euro 313 million in wholesale financing requirements, mainly attributable to the opposite impacts of the increase in sovereign debt portfolios in Portugal and Poland, on the one hand, and a new reduction of the commercial gap in Portugal and cash flows released by the activity, on the other.

In terms of the financing structure, the increase in liquidity needs was almost entirely supplied to the money market, with a net increase of Euro 357 million (to a balance of Euro 1.2 billion), as a result of the increase in the interbank market of Euro 754 million (from a long position in 2017 to a short position of Euro 738 million in 2018), and a reduction of Euro 398 million in the REPOS resource ( to a balance of Euro 430 million at the end of the year).

The value of collateralised instruments with the ECB remained at Euro 4.0 billion, corresponding to the balance of the longer-term refinancing operations called TLTRO, which will reach maturity in 2020. Net indebtedness to the ECB, which corresponds to resources from Central Banks deducted from deposits with the Bank of Portugal and from other liquidity denominated in Euro in excess over the minimum cash reserves, continued its progressive reduction path in 2018, declining by Euro 397 million euros, to a balance of Euro 2.7 billion.

The growth of the ECB's discount-eligible debt portfolios allowed a significant strengthening of the liquidity buffer with the Eurosystem, which at the end of 2018 reached Euro 14.3 billion (vs. Euro 9.7 billion in December 2017).

The estimated CET1 ratio as at 31 December 2018 stood at 12.1% phased-in and 12.0% fully-implemented, -119 basis points and +11 basis points, respectively, comparing to the 13.2% and 11.9% ratios recorded in the same date of 2017 and above the minimum ratios defined in the scope of SREP(*) for the year 2018 (CET1 8.81%, T1 10.31% and Total 12.31%).

The CET1 fully-implemented ratio's favourable evolution was mainly determined by net income, partially offset by the IFRS9 adoption impact, by the deduction of irrevocable payment commitments for the Single Resolution Fund and the Deposits Guarantee Fund, and by the increase in Risk Weighted Assets. The fully-implemented total capital ratio additionally benefited from Poland and Portugal's subordinated bonds' placement.

MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

contributing to the downward trajectory of global activity growth.

from the financial system and also to intensify the rise of interest rates. This stance has had as collateral effect a strong pressure on the emerging currencies and the concomitant need for the respective central banks to restrict their monetary policies. In the Euro Area, the continuation of the economic recovery and dwindling deflationary risks allowed the ECB to end its public and private debt purchase program and to hint at the beginning of the normalisation of the key interest rates in due course.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in 2018 the World economy is expected to have expanded 3.7%, representing a slight slowdown relative to the 3.8% observed in 2017, which is explained by the deceleration of the activity in most developed countries and China. The fall in the rate of change of the world GDP was not even more pronounced thanks to the acceleration of the US economy, whose vigour is expected to fade in 2019, thereby

The acceleration of economic activity and wages in the US led the Federal Reserve to deepen the liquidity extraction

The most salient trace of the financial markets evolution in 2018 was the rise of volatility associated with the reemergence of uncertainty regarding the resiliency of the expansionary cycle of the global economy, in a climate marked by generalised tightening of monetary conditions and by the worsening of international geopolitical tensions. As a result, most of the main financial assets classes ended last year with negative performances. The slowdown in China and the adverse impact that such circumstance imparted on the commodity and capital goods exporting economies contributed to the fall of equity indices in the emerging markets and also in Europe. In the US, the strong pace of economic growth, bolstered by the current substantial fiscal stimulus, helped to elevate American equity prices to new historic highs in the third quarter, a trajectory that quickly faded at year-end with the fears that the deterioration of the world economy and the rise in interest rates would lead to a loss of economic vigour. In the foreign exchange market the highlight was the generalised appreciation of the US dollar. In the commodity complex, the relative stability of the value of gold contrasted with the ample variations recorded by the price of crude oil.

In the first nine months of 2018, the pace of expansion of the Portuguese economy stood slightly above 2.0%, in line with the European Commission (EC) forecast for GDP growth for the whole year (2.1%). This evolution reflects some deceleration relative to the 2.8% recorded in 2017, essentially due to the worsening of the negative contribution of external demand, since imports have been higher than exports as a result of the dynamism of domestic demand, namely regarding investment. In 2019, the EC foresees that the GDP growth rate will slow to levels below 2.0%, as the lower strength of employment should lead to a greater moderation of private consumption. As for public finances, the fiscal deficit in 2018 is likely to have stayed below 1.0% of GDP thereby contributing to an improved perception of the investors and the European institutions regarding the sustainability of the public debt, and thus, to the maintenance of the yields on the government bonds at relatively low levels.

The Polish Economy expanded 5.1% in 2018, the highest GDP growth rate since 2007. The main engine of economic activity has been private consumption, benefiting from employment growth, together with the rise of investment, supported by the European Union's structural funds. The contribution of external demand to GDP growth should have been marginally positive, with the increase in imports offset by the dynamism of exports. In 2019, the EC predicts that economic activity will remain robust, but slower (around 3.5%), reflecting the slowdown in consumption, while investment should remain strong. In terms of foreign exchange, during 2018 the Zloty inverted the appreciation trajectory observed in the previous year, penalised by the environment of greater instability in the international financial markets.

The central bank of Mozambique intensified the downward cycle of interest rates initiated in 2017, with the key rate MIMO declining from 19.5% to 14.25% over 2018, in an environment of falling inflation and moderate economic growth. The Metical evolved erratically, without a defined direction. In Angola, the government and the IMF agreed a financial program destined to support the structural reforms needed to correct the macroeconomic imbalances. Among the measures implemented in 2018 it is worth mentioning the transition to a floating exchange rate regime, a change that determined a 60% depreciation of the Kwanza against the Euro in 2018.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The BCP Group prepares financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed by European Union. As a complement to that information, the BCP Group uses a set of alternative performance measures that allow monitoring the evolution of its activity over the time. Following the guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on October 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415), the BCP Group presents some indicators related to the assessment of profitability and efficiency and the quality of the credit portfolio, among others, which are intended to facilitate comprehension of the evolution of the economic and financial position of the Group. The information presented in this context has not been audited and does not, under any circumstance, replace the financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. It should also be noted that the definitions and concepts used by the BCP Group for the calculation of these indicators may differ from those used by other entities in the determination of other similar measures and may therefore not be directly comparable. In accordance with the above-mentioned guidelines, alternative performance measures, which are detailed below, are presented together with additional information that reconciles the accounting figures presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and financial information reflecting the management criteria adopted by the BCP Group. These indicators and their components are also described in more detail in the glossary.
