Joint Message of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO

JOINT MESSAGE OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE CEO

The Portuguese economy is showing strong signs of growth and is converging with Europe. Year-on-year growth registered in the 3rd quarter of 2017 was 2.5%, sustained by dynamic exports and the recovery of investment, in particular private investment.

Financial assets were strong in the period thanks to S&P's upgrading of the Portuguese Republic's Sovereign rating, which returned to investment grade levels. The benchmark PSI-20 index rose 5.0% in the quarter and there was a significant fall in sovereign bond yields.

This quarter saw the conclusion of the sale of Novo Banco to the Lone Star fund. This transaction, with implications for the national financial system, was the object of a request by Millennium bcp for a legal opinion regarding the legality of the mechanism for contingent capitalization. Our understanding is that this is the way to obtain further clarification of the future risks faced by the bank via its exposure to the Resolution Fund. We demonstrated our independence with this request and will do what is necessary to protect our shareholders.

Millennium bcp's earnings in the third quarter were of a recurring nature and are in line with the targets presented to the market. The operating efficiency of the bank continues to improve, allowing for a bolstering of coverage for non-performing loans. Another highlight is the reduction of non-performing exposures (NPEs), which are now already at a level below that targeted for 2017.

The net profit was €133.3 million, compared with a loss of €251.1 million in the same period the previous year. We kept on improving our efficiency and, as a result, the cost-to-core income ratio eased to 45.8%, which is already better than the target for 2018 (<50%).

We continued on the path of reducing NPEs, which is key to the bank's sustainability, at a very good pace, reducing by around €1.4 billion in the first nine months, better than expected and better than the published targets. Total coverage for NPEs in Portugal is more than 105%. This result is very important for confidence in our institution. Millennium bcp has been able to gradually improve its balance sheet, avoiding disruptive solutions that destroy capital.

In terms of our business, the Portuguese operation stands out for the accelerating pace at which it added new customers in 2017. In the first nine months of the year we added more than 150,000 new customers, with the base of active customers growing 3.6% compared with the previous year. There was also relevant growth in terms of digital customers, reaching a total of 850,000 active digital customers, a 15.5% increase from the previous year.

International operations contributed a total €131.3 million to the group's earnings, in line with the previous year.

In Poland, Bank Millennium announced earnings of €117.8 million. The Bank also announced its "Strategy 2020" plan, with ambitious objectives to achieve a net profit of 1 billion zloty, with core income rising 30% and the cost-to-income ratio dropping to 40%.

Millennium bim, in Mozambique, achieved net profit of €60.5 million – an increase of 28.2% in euro terms. Highlights include the mobile banking segment, which achieved a total of more than 400,000 active customers.

Banco Millennium Angola contributed €24.4 million to the group's profits. The bank remained a benchmark among Angolan private banks and our partnership with Banco Millennium Atlântico has been extremely positive.

Another important highlight for the whole group is the improved service quality for the customer experience. A very significant effort has been made to train employees and improve processes, with a visible impact on the market's evaluation as well as the customer sentiment about our service. In 2017, the bank has received more than 20 awards and other public recognition, including "Best Digital Bank" in Portugal and Poland and "Best Bank" in Mozambique. In Portugal, customer satisfaction indicators have been improving and in the latest Bank of Portugal Report on Banking Behavior we were acknowledged to be the bank with the fewest customer complaints in the Portuguese financial system. The emphasis on quality is a distinctive factor for Millennium bcp and is an area where we will continue to invest.

In general terms the results for the third quarter are positive. They confirm the bank's ability to generate positive results from its business quarter after quarter. The trend for the main business indicators is positive and reinforces our commitment to the goals we promised for 2018.

We have an unique positioning in Portugal and remain a reference in supporting the families, the companies and the societies where we are present.

Chief Executive Officer Chairman of the Board Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of Directors.

GOVERNANCE

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. has a one-tier management and supervision model, composed of a Board of Directors, which includes an Executive Committee and an Audit Committee composed only by non-executive directors. The Company also has a Remunerations and Welfare Board and an International Strategic Board.

In addition, the Group uses a Statutory Auditor and an external auditing firm to audit the individual and consolidated accounts of the Bank, whose appointment is resolved at the General Meeting.

The members of the governing bodies were elected at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 11 May 2015 to perform duties for the three-year period 2015/2017.

ORGANISATIONAL CHART OF THE COMPANY'S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MODEL

The General Meeting is the highest governing body of the company, representing the entirety of the shareholders, and its resolutions are binding for all when adopted under the terms of law and the articles of association. The General Meeting is responsible for:

  • Electing and dismissing the Board, as well as the members of the management and supervisory bodies, and the Remuneration and Welfare Board;
  • Approving amendments to the memorandum of association;
  • Resolving on the annual management report and accounts for the year and proposed appropriation of profits;
  • Resolving on matters submitted upon request of the management and supervisory bodies;
  • Resolving on all issues especially entrusted to it by the law or articles of association, or on those not included in the duties of other corporate bodies;

The Board of Directors (BD) is the governing body of the Bank with the most ample powers of management and representation, pursuant to the law and the articles of association.

Under the terms of the articles of association in effect, the Board of Directors is composed of a minimum of 17 and a maximum of 25 members with and without executive duties, elected by the General Meeting for a period of three years, who may be re-elected. The increase of the number of members of the Board of Directors to 25 was approved on 9 November 2016.

The Board of Directors in office, as at 30 June 2017, was composed of 19 permanent members, with 11 non-executive and 8 executive members.

The Board of Directors appointed an Executive Committee (EC) composed of 8 of its members, to which it delegates the day-to-day management of the Bank.

MAIN AWARDS

BCP SHARE

BCP share' price increased by 33.0% in the first nine months of 2017, outperforming both PSI 20 (+15.6%) and Eurostoxx 600 Banks (+11.0%) indexes.

BCP share performance is better explained when analysed by quarter:

1 st Quarter 2017 (+6.3%): After decreasing in the beginning of the year as a reaction to the €1.3 billion share capital increase announcement, BCP share price initiated a recovery following the completion of the share capital increase, the listing of new shares and the early repayment of the remaining amount of CoCos. Since 9 February (date of the listing of new shares), BCP share price increased by 67%.

2 nd Quarter 2017 (+20.2%): BCP share benefitted from a more positive environment for the European banking sector, resulting from a more favourable political environment following the Dutch and French elections and an improvement of the macro environment in Portugal, following the good results achieved on reduction of the public deficit and the upwards revision to GDP forecasts made by the Banco de Portugal and the IMF, which overcome the side effects of the resolution of Banco Popular, acquired by Santander in the beginning of June.

3 rd Quarter 2017 (+4.1%): BCP share performance was affected by i) the imposition by the ECB of the increase in NPEs coverage by LLRs to Bank of Cyprus in August and the announcement of Liberbank's share capital increase in the beginning of September, which motivated a read across for other banks and also to BCP; ii) market uncertainty as regards the probability and timing of ECB increasing official interest rates; iii) growing international political tensions resulting from North Korea's military actions; and iv) a new proposal of solution for the conversion of CHF loans in Poland which involves a high quarterly contribution (for a new restructuring fund) for an uncertain period of time. In spite of these factors the recent upgrade of the rating of the Portuguese Republic to investment grade by S&P and the improvement in the market perception of the value of BCP as a result of the NPEs reduction that exceeded market expectations, were responsible by the recovery.

Report and Accounts for the 3rd quarter of 2017

Business Model

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects an acceleration of the global economy in 2017 (3.6%), reflecting the improvement observed in the first half of the year in the activity indicators of most economies, in particular among the developed countries, as well as the favourable climate in the international financial markets. In the medium term the continuity of the global expansionary cycle is nonetheless subject to important risks, which according to the IMF relate to the stability of the global financial system and the resurgence of geopolitical tensions.

Despite the positive evolution of the global economic activity and investors' optimism, the monetary policy of the main central banks has not suffered any additional tightening. In effect, the European Central Bank pressed forward with its asset purchase program and the US Federal Reserve kept their key interest rates unaltered during the third quarter.

Notwithstanding the worsening of the world geopolitical risks, in particular, coming out of the Korean peninsula, the climate resulting from the combination of the improved global economy with the lingering degree of extreme accommodative global monetary conditions favoured the widespread appreciation of the main financial asset classes. Within the equity segment it should be highlighted that all of the main US indices have reached consecutive historical highs, in line to what occurred in the previous quarters. In the interest rates domain, the stability of the oil price and the modest wage growth in the developed economies contributed to reinforce the expectations of a slow normalisation of the monetary policy in the main economic blocks, which led to an absence of defined direction in the evolution of the government bond yields of the low-risk countries, such as Germany and the US. The elevated quantity of existing liquidity in the interbank money market of the Euro and the perspective that the ECB's key interest rates will remain at the current levels for a protracted period of time meant that the Euribor rates stood at negative values for all maturities.

According to Statistics Portugal, during the first six months of 2017, Portugal's GDP rose by 2.9% annually, which represents a strong acceleration relative to that recorded in the analogous period of 2016 (1.1%). The increased pace of economic activity reflected the strong recovery of investment and the improvement in the contribution of the net external demand, which attenuated the deceleration of private consumption and the contraction of public spending. The context of greater economic dynamism along with the process of stabilisation of the banking setor and the reduction of the fiscal balance to the levels demanded by the European Union contributed to the announcement by the ratings agency Standard & Poors' of an one notch upgrade of the rating of the Portuguese Republic to investment grade, which translated positively into the performance of the domestic financial assets. In the third quarter, the main Portuguese equity index appreciated by 5% and the risk premia of the Portuguese government debt securities vis-à-vis the German counterparts tightened significantly.

In Poland, the continuation of an expansionary fiscal policy together with the rise in construction investment co-funded with European funds translated into a strong acceleration of private consumption and the recovery of investment. The performance of these two components pushed GDP to annual growth levels around 4% in the first two quarters of 2017. Despite the dynamism of economic activity, inflationary pressures remained controlled, allowing the Polish central bank to maintain its monetary policy unaltered by keeping the key interest rate at 1.50%. The Zloty remained relatively stable during the third quarter when compared to the previous one.

After the strong deceleration of activity recorded in 2016, the Mozambican economy has been showing signs of recovery, stimulated by the strong rise in exports associated to the megaprojects, which has translated into an improvement of the current account deficit and the stabilisation of the foreign Exchange rate of the Metical against the dollar. At the same time, the government has been presenting a set of measures aimed at raising the robustness of the public finances. In this context of improvement of the economic situation, the IMF has forecast a GDP expansion rate of 4.7% in 2017, which compares with 3.8% in 2016. In Angola, despite the increase in oil prices relative to the previous year, the level of the net foreign exchange reserves continue to dwindle and the economic activity still presents important frailties, with the IMF forecasting GDP growth to be 1.5% this year.

RESULTS AND BALANCE SHEET

In the context of the merger process between Banco Millennium Angola and Banco Privado Atlântico, Banco Millennium Angola was considered a discontinued operation in March 2016 with the impact of its results presented as "income arising from discontinued operations". On the consolidated balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of Banco Millennium Angola, S.A. continued to be consolidated by the full consolidation method up to April 2016.

After the completion of the merger, in May 2016, the assets and liabilities of Banco Millennium Angola were no longer considered in the consolidated balance sheet and the investment of 22.5% in Banco Millennium Atlântico, the new entity arising from the merger, started being consolidated using the equity method, while its contribution to the Group's results have been recognised in the consolidated accounts from May 2016 onwards.

RESULTS

The core net income of Millennium bcp increased 23.7% from Euro 665.8 million in the first nine months of 2016, amounting to Euro 823.2 million in the same period of 2017, benefiting, on the one hand, from the 12.8% growth in net interest income and 2.8% in net commissions and, on the other, from the 3.8% reduction of operating costs. Excluding the effect of specific items (a Euro 23.7 million income from the negotiation of the Bank's Collective Labour Agreement net of restructuring costs, in the first nine months of 2017, and a Euro 1.7 million cost in restructuring costs, in the first nine months of 2016), core net income achieved Euro 799.6 million in the first nine months of 2017, an increase of 19.8% comparing to the same period of the previous year.

The performance of core net income, on a comparable basis, reflects both the positive performance of the activity in Portugal (+13.9%) and of the international activity (+30.0%), leading to a decrease in the cost to income ratio, excluding specific items, to 45.1% in the first nine months of 2017, compared to 45.8% posted in the same period of 2016, highlighting that, without considering the adjustment of the specific items, the cost to income ratio of 30 September 2017 is more favorable and shows an even more positive progression from the end of September 2016.

Net income in the first nine months of 2017 achieved a profit of Euro 133.3 million, showing an increase compared to a loss of Euro 251.1 million registered in the same period of the previous year, sustained by the performance of the activity in Portugal.

In the activity in Portugal, net income increased by Euro 395.0 million compared to the first nine months of 2016, reaching Euro 0.8 million in the first nine months of 2017, supported by the reduction of impairments and provisions and by the growth of core net income.

The positive impact, net of tax, of the above-mentioned specific items, amounted to Euro 16.7 million, in the first nine months of 2017, which compares with the Euro 20.9 million gain (net of tax) related to the purchase of Visa Europe by Visa Inc in the same period of 2016.

In the international activity, net income totalled Euro 131.3 million in the first nine months of 2017 and Euro 134.8 million in the same period of the previous year, reflecting the lower contributions from the operations in Poland and Angola, despite the increase in the contribution of the remaining operations, notwithstanding negative exchange rate effects. However, it should be noted that the performance of the contribution of Poland is penalised by the gain booked in 2016 associated with the purchase of Visa Europe by Visa Inc (Euro 26.3 million) and by the recognition of the mandatory contributions, namely of the contribution to the Resolution Fund, which was accrued in 2016 and whose value of 2017 was fully recognised in March 2017, and the new Polish banking tax introduced in February 2016.

Net interest income increased 12.8% from Euro 907.0 million registered in the first nine months of 2016, reaching Euro 1,023.2 million in the first nine months of 2017. This performance benefited from the favourable contribution of both, Portugal and international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, net interest income achieved Euro 591.8 million in the first nine months of 2017, showing an increase of 9.0% compared to the same period of the previous year, essentially reflecting the lower cost of funding determined by the positive impact of CoCos' repayment and by the continued reduction of interest rates of term deposits, despite the lower gains in the loans and the securities portfolios.

In the international activity, net interest income excluding exchange rate effects increased 19.2% in the first nine months of 2017, compared to the same period of the previous year, reflecting the positive performance of all subsidiaries, in particular Mozambique and Poland.

Net interest margin in the first nine months of 2017 stood at 2.17%, which compares with 1.88% in the same period of 2016. Excluding the impact from the cost of CoCos, net interest margin reached 2.19% in the first nine months of 2017 and 1.98% in the same period of 2016.

Note: Interest related to hedge derivatives were allocated, in September 2017 and 2016, to the respective balance sheet item. (1) Includes the activity of the subsidiary in Angola (in 2016), as well as the respective consolidation adjustments.

Net commissions reached Euro 494.6 million in the first nine months of 2017, increasing 2.8% from Euro 481.1 million registered in the same period of the previous year, boosted by the performance of the international activity, in particular in Poland (+16.5% excluding exchange rate effects), with the performance of the activity in Portugal being affected by a higher one-off amount recorded in other banking commissions in the first quarter of 2016.

The increase of net commissions in the first nine months of 2017 reflects both the performance of banking commissions and the increase in market commissions which grew 2.1% and 5.8%, respectively, compared to the same period of 2016.

Net trading income amounted to Euro 115.0 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to Euro 212.5 million accounted in the same period of 2016, which reflects the gain of Euro 91.1 million related to the purchase, by Visa Inc., of the shareholdings held by the Bank in Portugal and by Bank Millennium in Poland in Visa Europe in the second quarter of 2016.

Other net operating income was negative by Euro 97.0 million in the first nine months of 2017, in line with the negative Euro 96.3 million accounted in the same period of the previous year.

This item includes the costs associated with mandatory contributions as well as with the Resolution Fund and the Deposit Guarantee Fund in both Portugal and the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, other net operating income in the first nine months of 2017 were Euro 6.7 million lower than in the same period of 2016, mainly due to the higher amount of mandatory contributions recorded in 2017.

Inversely, other net operating income in the international activity increased 12.2% (15.2%, excluding exchange rate effects) in the first nine months of 2017, compared to the same period of the previous year, despite the accounting in the first half of 2017 of the estimated annual contribution for the Resolution Fund in Poland, which was accrued in 2016, and the new tax on Polish banks, which was only introduced in February 2016.

Dividends from equity instruments, which comprises dividends received from investments in financial assets available for sale, and equity accounted earnings, jointly totalled Euro 58.5 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to Euro 67.6 million reached in the same period of 2016, with this performance being conditioned by the positive impact of the gains from UNICRE related to the transaction of its shareholding in Visa Europe during the first half of 2016, despite the higher gains in the first nine months of 2017 from the shareholding in Banco Millennium Atlântico, the new entity that resulted from the merger of Banco Millennium Angola with Banco Privado Atlântico, from May 2016 onwards.

Operating costs, excluding the effect of specific items (a Euro 23.7 million profit that includes gains from the Collective Labour Agreement negotiation and restructuring costs in the first nine months of 2017, and Euro 1.7 million from restructuring costs in the first nine months of 2016) totalled Euro 718.3 million in the first nine months of 2017, a slightly lower level (-0.3%) than the same period of the previous year, reflecting the cost savings obtained in the activity in Portugal despite the increase of costs in the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, operating costs, excluding the above-mentioned specific items, showed a decrease of 3.3% compared to the first nine months of 2016, determined by the decline of staff costs and also by other administrative costs savings, amounting to Euro 447.5 million in the first nine months of 2017.

In the international activity, excluding the exchange rate effect, operating costs increased 5.3%, from the amount accounted in the first nine months of 2016, mainly influenced by the performance of the subsidiary in Mozambique and Poland.

Staff costs, excluding the impact of the above mentioned specific items, amounted to Euro 403.8 million in the first nine months of 2017, showing a 1.2% reduction from Euro 408.7 million registered in the same period of the previous year. This reduction was determined by the performance of the activity in Portugal, which benefited from the impact of the decrease of 148 employees from the end of September 2016, notwithstanding the decision of the Board of Directors of the Bank to end, in advance, the temporary adjustment that has been in force since July 2014, following the full reimbursement of CoCos with effect from 30 June 2017.

In the international activity, staff costs increased 6.1%, excluding exchange rate effects induced by the operations in Poland and in Mozambique.

Other administrative costs stood at Euro 274.8 million in the first nine months of 2017 (Euro 274.9 million in the same period of the previous year), supported by the positive impact of the rationalisation and cost containment measures that have been implemented in Portugal, and which translated into a reduction of Euro 5.4 million from the first nine months of 2016.

In the international activity, excluding exchange rate effects, there was a 5.4% increase in other administrative costs mainly influenced by the activity in Mozambique.

Depreciation costs totalled Euro 39.7 million in the first nine months of 2017, comparing to Euro 37.0 million posted in the same period of 2016, determined by the performance of the activity in Portugal, namely by the higher IT equipment, real estate properties and software depreciation costs. In the international activity, not considering the exchange rate effect, depreciation costs decreased 1.7%

compared to the amount registered in the first nine months of 2016.

Impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) fell by 47.3% from Euro 870.2 million accounted in the first nine months of 2016, to stand at Euro 458.6 million in the first nine months of 2017, due to the favourable performance of the activity in Portugal, shown on the improvement in the Group's cost of risk from 221 basis points in the first nine months of 2016 to 120 basis points in the same period of 2017.

Other impairment and provisions totalled Euro 169.9 million in the first nine months of 2017, decreasing 30.0% from Euro 242.8 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, reflecting the lower level of provisions related to corporate restructuring funds and other debt instruments, despite the reinforcement that occurred in other assets.

Income tax (current and deferred) stood at Euro 63.1 million, in the first nine months of 2017, compared to Euro -68.2 million posted in the same period of 2016.

These taxes include current tax costs of Euro 82.8 million (Euro 76.5 million in the first nine months of 2016), net of deferred tax income of Euro 19.7 million (Euro 144.7 million in the first nine months of 2016).

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets stood at Euro 72,990 million as at 30 September 2017, comparing to Euro 73,042 million as at 30 September 2016. It is worth noting the reduction of loans to customers and the increase in financial assets available for sale.

Loans to customers (gross) amounted to Euro 50,754 million as at 30 September 2017, down from Euro 52,610 million recorded as at 30 September 2016, influenced by the decrease of the activity in Portugal, partially offset by the increase showed by the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, loans to customers decreased 5.8% from 30 September 2016, amounting to Euro 37,947 million as at 30 September 2017, as a result of the measures to reduce NPEs, since the continued development of initiatives to support financing needs of companies and individuals reflected on the significant increases in loans to individuals and to companies production, favoured the stabilization of the performing loans portfolio in the first nine months of 2017.

The performance of loans to companies was also accompanied by a structural change in order to reduce the weight of construction and real estate activities and non-financial holding companies against exporting industries.

In the international activity, loans to customers increased 4.0% (2.0% excluding exchange rate effects) from 30 September 2016, mainly supported by the contribution of the operations in Poland and Mozambique, namely the growth of loans to companies.

The structure of the loans to customers' portfolio showed identical and stable levels of diversification between the end of September 2016 and September 2017, with loans to companies representing 46% of total loans to customers as at 30 September 2017.

Credit quality, determined by loans overdue by more than 90 days as a percentage of total loans, showed a favourable performance, dropping from 7.2% as at 30 September 2016 to 6.1% as at 30 September 2017, while the corresponding coverage ratio for loans overdue by more than 90 days improved from 100.9% as at 30 September 2016 to 108.9% in the same date of 2017.

The credit at risk ratio reached 9.7% as at 30 September 2017, which compares favourably with 11.4% on the same date of the previous year. As at 30 September 2017, the restructured loans ratio stood at 8.9% of total loans, from 10.1% registered as at 30 September 2016, and the ratio of restructured loans not included in the credit at risk stood at 4.9% of total loans compared to 6.0% at the same date of 2016.

Total customer funds in the international activity registered an increase of 7.2% from Euro 17,487 million as at 30 September 2016, reaching Euro 18,738 million as at 30 September 2017, mainly influenced by the performance of the subsidiary in Poland, particularly in customer deposits.

(**) Loans Portfolios in Portugal to discontinue gradually under the commitments undertaken with the DG Comp.

Note: In December 2015, M illennium bcp Gestão de Activos is considered discontinued operation . (***) In the context o f the Banco M illennium in Angola merger process with Banco Privado Atlântico, Banco M illennium in Angola was considered as a discontinued operation in M arch 2016. After the completion of the merger, in M ay 2016, the new merged entity, Banco M illennium Atlântico, started being consolidated using the equity method.

The figures reported for each business segment resulted from aggregating the subsidiaries and business units integrated in each segment, also reflecting the impact from capital allocation and balancing process of each entity in the balance sheet and income statement, based on average figures. The balance sheet headings for each subsidiary and business unit were re-calculated, taking into account the replacement of the equity book values by the amounts attributed through the allocation process, based on the regulatory solvency criteria.

Thus, as the process of capital allocation complies with the regulatory criteria of solvency in force, the risk weighted assets, and consequently the capital allocated to the business segments, are determined in accordance with the Basel III framework, pursuant to the CRD IV/CRR. The capital allocated to each segment resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment, reflecting the application of the Basel III methodologies. Each operation is balanced through internal transfers of funds, hence with no impact on consolidated accounts.

The net income of each segment includes the non-controlling interests, when applicable. Therefore, the values of net income presented incorporate the individual net income of the business units, regardless of the percentage stake held by the Group, and the impacts of the transfers of funds described above.

Operating costs related to the business segments do not include gains from the Collective Labour Agreement negotiation and restructuring costs in the first nine months of 2017, nor the restructuring costs recorded in the same period of 2016.

Total customer funds were redefined, with reference to 30 September 2017 and, consequently, on a comparable basis to the end of September 2016, reflecting a broader concept in order to include amounts held by customers as part of existing agreements for its placement and management.

The information presented below was based on the financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS and organisation of the Group's business areas as at 30 September 2017.

Results

Net (loss)/income after income tax from continuing operations totalled 134.4 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (64.7 million Euros in the same period of 2016), mainly due to the increase in total operating income and to the reduction in operating costs:

  • Net interest income went up to 304.4 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (287.9 million Euros at the end of September 2016), mainly due to the continued decrease in the rate of deposits, despite the decline in the yield of credit portfolios.
  • Other net profits rose from 272.7 million Euros in the first nine months of 2016 to 290.7 million Euros in the same period of 2017, showing a 6.6% increase.
  • Operating costs went 2.6% down from 2016, reflecting the continuous implementation of the initiatives that were set out in the Strategic Plan.

  • Impairment charges amounted to 51.2 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, comparing favourably to 59.7 million Euros recorded in the same period of 2016.

  • In September 2017, loans to customers totalled 16,769 million Euros, decreasing from the 17,302 million Euros reported in the same period in 2016, despite the development of a range of products and services by the Bank meant to meet the financial needs of families and small businesses.
  • Total customer funds amounted to 35,253 million Euros by the end of September 2017 (34,054 million Euros recorded in June 2016).

Results

Net (loss)/income after income tax from continuing operations totalled 46.5 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, which compares to a loss of 112.5 million Euros in the same period of 2016, caused mainly by the decrease in impairment charges:

  • Net interest income stood at 195.5 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (209.1 million Euros at the end of June 2016), driven by the impact of the decrease in average interest rates for credit.
  • Other net profits rose from 115.3 million Euros in the first nine months of 2016 to 124.0 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, evidencing a 7.6% increase.
  • Operating costs totalled 68.2 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, a 5.9% plunge from the same period of 2016 (72.5 million Euros).
  • Impairment stood at 186.8 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, 54.6% down from 411.6 million Euros recorded at the end of September 2016, translating the trend towards a normal cost of risk in the activity in Portugal, after the recognition of additional impairment in 2016, allowing the reinforcement of coverage levels.

  • As at September 2017, loans to customers totalled 10,609 million Euros (10,858 million Euros in 2016), due to the still slight recovery of the Portuguese economy, in spite of the continued focus on offering solutions to support the companies' businesses.

  • Total customer funds as at September 2017 reached 10,776 million Euros (10,094 million Euros recorded in the same period of 2016) showing a rise in customers' deposits and off-balance sheet customer funds.

Results

From a geographic segmentation standpoint, net (loss)/income after income tax from continuing operations in the Private Banking business totalled 20.6 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 comparing favourably to 14.9 million Euros recorded in the same period of 2016), mainly due to increase in the total operating income, slightly dimmed by the increase in operating costs and impairment:

  • Net interest income went up to 11.7 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (11.2 million Euros at the end of September 2016), mainly due to the sustained decrease in the rate of deposits.
  • Other net profits rose to 30.7 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (22.8 million Euros in the same period of 2016), returning a 34.3% increase.
  • Operating costs amounted to 11.6 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, 2.9% down versus the amount recorded in the same period of 2016.
  • Loans to customers amounted to 220 million Euros by the end of September 2017 (177 million Euros recorded in September 2016).
  • Total customer funds reached 5,046 million Euros as at September 2017 (climbing 11.6% from the amount recorded on 30 September 2016), due to the performance of assets under management and investment funds.

Results

Net income of Foreign Business, according to the geographic segments, stood at 202.2 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (225.3 million Euros achieved in the same period of 2016). This performance includes, in the first nine months of 2016, 52.4 million Euros in gains, after taxes, with the sale of Visa Europe by Bank Millennium in Poland; it also takes into consideration, under discontinued operations, the total net income of Banco Millennium Angola in the first four months of 2016 (36.8 million Euros) as well as the equity accounted earnings from Millennium bcp's shareholding in Banco Millennium Atlântico amounting to 24.4 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (10.0 million Euros in the period of May to September 2016):

The figures for Foreign Business show the following performance:

  • Net interest margin rose to 420.6 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017 (351.3 million Euros in the same period of 2016). Excluding foreign exchange effects, the increase would have been 19.2%, mainly translating the contributions of Bank Millennium in Poland and Banco Internacional de Moçambique.
  • Other net income excluding the equity accounted earnings related to the stake held in Banco Millennium Atlântico and the impact of the sale of Visa Europe, by Bank Millennium in Polónia, shows a 7.7% increase (6.9% excluding foreign exchange effects) despite the higher level of mandatory contributions in Poland.
  • Operating costs amounted to 270.8 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, 5.1% up from the same period of 2016. This evolution was mainly due to the contribution of Bank Millennium in Poland. Excluding foreign exchange effects, operating costs would have risen 5.3%, mainly influenced by the operations in Mozambique and Poland.

  • Impairment totalled 70.1 million Euros in the first nine months of 2017, standing above the 62.0 million Euros recorded in the same period in 2016; excluding foreign exchange effects it would have risen 13.5%, mainly caused by the performance of Mozambique and Poland.

  • Loans to customers stood at 12,353 million Euros, a 3.6% increase from the 11,923 million Euros of 30 September 2016. Excluding foreign exchange effects, this increase was 1.7%, influenced by the performance of Poland and despite the inverse evolution in Mozambique.
  • Total customer funds from business abroad increased by 7.2% from the 17,487 million Euros reported on 30 June 2016, standing at 18,738 million Euros on 30 September 2017, mainly due to the performance of Poland and mostly to the customers' deposits and other loans. Excluding the foreign exchange effects, total customer funds increased 5.8%.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

During the first nine months of 2017 the consolidated wholesale funding needs of the Bank decreased by approximately Euro 1.8 billion, mainly due to the share capital increase of the Bank and to the reduction of the commercial gap in Portugal, the effects of which were partially offset by the increase of the securities debt portfolio.

In this period, the Bank fully repaid the CoCos (Euro 0.7 billion), slightly increased the use of REPOS in Portugal (by Euro 0.1 billion, to a balance of Euro 2.4 billion) and reduced the collateralised funding from the Eurosystem (by Euro 0.9 billion, to Euro 4.0 billion, which represents the balance of the targeted long term refinancing operations (TLTRO)).

As far as medium-long term debt is concerned, in addition to the amortisation of the remaining Medium Term Notes (MTN) in the amount of Euro 0.3 billion, the Bank also repaid in June the remaining issue of covered bonds placed in the market, and refinancing through a similar issue of Euro 1.0 billion, with a five year maturity. This issue marked the return of the Bank to the medium-long term debt market, three years after the placement of an MTN amortised in last February. The Bank also booked a new loan of Euro 0.3 billion from the European Investment Bank (EIB), which total balance grew to Euro 1.5 billion.

In net terms, the funding with the Eurosystem decreased by Euro 1.0 billion from December 2016, to Euro 3.4 billion. The significant decrease of the exposure to the Eurosystem allowed a reinforcement of the liquidity buffer with the ECB by Euro 1.5 billion compared with December 2016, to Euro 9.1 billion. On a pro forma basis the collateral currently allocated in excess to the covered bond program (which, under the form of an issue to be retained at the portfolio of ECB eligible assets, would allow its increase by an amount of at least Euro 1.0 billion after haircuts, assuming the use of the valuation criteria of the ECB concerning the other retained issues), were added to the buffer, as well as a portfolio of Treasury Bills amounting to USD 0.6 billion, its value would increase to Euro 10.6 billion, an increase of Euro 1.5 billion compared with December 2016.

CAPITAL

CRD IV/CRR(1) establishes Pillar 1 capital requirements of 4.5%, 6% and 8% for CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital, respectively. However, under SREP(2), the European Central Bank notified BCP about the need to comply with phased-in capital ratios, during 2017, of 8.15% (CET1), 9.65% (Tier 1) and 11.65% (Total), including 2.4% of additional Pillar 2 requirements and 1.25% of a capital conservation buffer.

The estimated phased-in and fully-implemented CET1 ratios as at 30 September 2017 stood at 13.2% and 11.7%, respectively, reflecting an increase of 102 and 222 basis points, compared to the 12.2% and 9.5% ratios recorded in the same period of 2016.

This reinforcement of the capital levels was mainly determined by the CET1 improvement, which included, on one hand, the share capital increases performed in the fourth quarter of 2016 and in the first quarter of 2017, even though these were partially used for the full reimbursement of the remaining CoCo bonds, and, on the other hand, the positive net income and the favourable contributions of the fair value and FX reserves during this period, notwithstanding a higher level of deductions related to deferred tax assets and to the shortfall of impairment to expected loss, as well as the phase-in effects that also affected the CET1 computed on this basis.

Strategy

VISION, MISSION AND STRATEGY

BCP intends to be a reference Bank in customer service …

BCP's vision is to become the reference Bank in Customer service, based on innovative distribution platforms, where a relevant part of the resources will be allocated to Retail and Companies, in markets of high potential with excellent efficiency levels, translated into a commitment to an efficiency ratio placed at reference levels for the banking industry and with tighter discipline in capital, liquidity and cost management.

… whose mission is to create value for the Stakeholders …

The Bank's mission is to create value for Customers through high quality banking and financial products and services, complying with rigorous and high standards of conduct and corporate responsibility, growing profitably and sustainably, so as to provide an attractive return for Shareholders, in a manner that supports and strengthens its strategic autonomy and corporate identity.

… defining ambitious goals …

On 12 January 2017, the Bank confirmed its financial and operational business goals for 2018 pursuant to the recent share capital increase, as follows:

  • CET1 (phased in) and CET1 (fully implemented) of around 11%;
  • Balance sheet loan-to-deposit ratio under 100%;
  • Cost-to-Core Income ratio under 50%;
  • Cost-to-Income ratio under 43%;
  • Cost of risk under 75 b.p.;
  • ROE at around 10% (Based on fully implemented CET1).

The figures provided above are goals not forecasts. There is no guarantee that such goals can or will be achieved, as such they cannot be construed as forecasts or earnings' estimates.

… and who knows how to attain them.

In the recent past, Millennium bcp overcame challenging and demanding times. Its Employees worked hard to turn the bank into a reference in commercial banking in Portugal.

The country went through a Financial Assistance Programme, showing a weakened economy and a financial system with its credibility damaged. Customers became increasingly demanding.

The contraction in banking activity was enormous, interest rates stood at historically low levels, banking supervision was transferred to the European Central Bank and the Supervisor became more demanding and distant. Our competitors are currently adjusting to this environment and the Employees of Millennium bcp worked daily to transform the bank in order to ensure its sustainability.

The Bank adapted to the changes in the world and responded with innovation and the capacity to adapt to a new reality, bearing in mind at all times the way it wishes to exercise banking.

Banking with values in the daily relations with Customer, Shareholders, Employees and remaining Stakeholders.

Millennium bcp is and will increasingly be a bank that is:

Agile Modern Personal Simple Sustainable

These are the principles defining how each Employee of Millennium bcp must act in their relations with other Employees, Customers, Shareholders, remaining Stakeholders and with the Community and the Surrounding Environment at large.

STRATEGY

In September 2012, Millennium bcp presented a new 3-stage Strategic Plan, to be implemented by 2017 ("Strategic Plan"). The Strategic Plan was also updated in September 2013, following the approval of BCP's Restructuring Plan by the European Commission and in June 2013, after a share capital increase operation, its targets were also updated.

The three stages of the Strategic Plan are the following:

Stage 1 (2012 to 2013): Define the foundations for sustainable future development

During the first stage of the Strategic Plan, the key priority consisted in reinforcing the balance sheet by reducing the dependence on funding from the wholesale market and increasing regulatory capital ratios.

Stage 2 (2014 to 2015): Creation of conditions for growth and profitability

During the second stage of the Strategic Plan, the focus was on the recovery of profitability of the Bank's domestic operations, combined with the continued development of the international subsidiaries in Poland, Mozambique and in Angola. The improvement in domestic profitability was expected to be mainly driven by: i) the increase in net interest income by reducing the cost of deposits and changing the credit mix, with a focus on products with better margins; ii) the continued focus on the optimisation of operating costs by reducing the number of employees and eliminating administrative overlap; and iii) the adoption of rigorous credit risk limits thus reducing the need for provisions.

Stage 3 (2016 to 2017): Sustained growth

During the third phase, management is focused on achieving sustained growth of net income, benefiting from the successful implementation of the first two phases of the Strategic Plan, a better balance between the contributions of the domestic and international operations towards profitability and the conclusion of the winding down/divestment process of the Bank's non-core portfolio.

The main actions required to ensure a successful completion of the Strategic Plan are:

  • Improving the balance sheet: The Bank intends to improve its capital ratios by cutting down RWAs through deleveraging, disposal or liquidation of non-core operations. The internal generation of share capital in the final stages of the Strategic Plan should also contribute to accrue capital. In addition, the disposal or liquidation of non-core operations and the incorporation of off balance sheet customer funds into balance sheet customer funds should improve the Bank's liquidity position by cutting down the commercial gap and the dependence on wholesale market funds. This improvement of the commercial gap and the increase in funding from public and private debt markets led to a decrease in the use of ECB funding. For the duration of the Strategic Plan, the Bank's management aims to continue to cut back on its ECB exposure by using a combination of initial deleveraging while keeping up the increase in deposits and the controlled expansion of credit.
  • Better profitability of domestic operations: The Bank is carrying out the optimisation of its product mix and will continue to adjust the price of credit to better reflect each customer's risk profile, which should have a positive impact on the net interest income and on the cost of risk of the Portuguese operation. The Bank forecasts a better net interest income based on the continuous reduction in spreads since the beginning of 2013 until the period ended on 30 June 2017.
  • Consolidation of the Bank's leadership position in the private sector retail market and the SME/companies banking market: The Bank adopted a new business model based on a new Customer base segmentation, the review made to the products and services that it offers and on the adjustments to its backoffice units and branch network. This business model is being put into place with a view to expanding the Bank's territorial coverage, increasing the Customer base and sales capacity and simultaneously decreasing operating costs. For retail clients, the strategy is to re-balance the portfolio mix of less profitable mortgage loans with more profitable loans. In terms of SME/companies, the focus will be on exporting companies. The Bank intends to ensure that profits are sustainable in the medium to long-term, seeking to be the best in class in terms of operational efficiency, on account of both income generation and cost management, simultaneously keeping a high control of credit risk while preserving its strategic position in the Portuguese banking market for retail and SMEs.

  • International position: The Bank's international franchise is focused on the growing markets of Poland and Mozambique. In Poland, the Bank intends to continue to pursue customer acquisition, based on the existing branch network, on its comprehensive range of products and services and on the strength of the Bank's brand. Additionally, the Bank intends to continue to leverage its main franchise in the country by developing the branch network and offering new and innovative products and services to its customers.

  • Risk Management: The Bank intends set up a new management control system for loans with highest probability of default, in addition to past due loans. The creation of a legacy portfolio, plus the Bank's stronger credit recovery abilities, should decrease, in general, the level of noncompliance, while simultaneously keeping the focus on the subscription of new loans with a risk profile that meets the Bank's Strategic Plan.
  • Plan for the Reduction of NPEs: Several measures were put into place in the last few years with a positive impact on NPEs, namely the reinforcement of credit quality control by using and developing new valuation models, improving the governance model for risk management, covering NPEs by making provisions, the expected loss gap and the increase in collaterals to 100%, as of 30 September 2017, according to Millennium bcp's goal of getting NPEs down to under 7,500 million euros (7.2 billion euros recorded on 30 September 2017) by December 2017. The main measures of this plan include: speeding up write-offs; sale of credits, especially loans to companies with strong collaterals and loans to individuals unlikely to be recovered; avoid mortgage loans getting to judicial resolution and decreasing the time cases take to recover in the hands of law firms.

For the 2016-2018 triennial, the Bank put in place a set of strategic priorities for the operation in Portugal aiming to build a sustainable Bank adapted to the new needs of the market and its Customers. In 2017, the Bank accelerated the implementation of strategic initiatives, focusing on innovation and customer experience.

The strategic agenda consists of 6 work fronts devoted to sales and 3 work fronts devoted to the organisation as a whole. Over 100 employees in total are involved in the execution of the various initiatives identified.

In relation to Millennium bcp's business model, 6 work fronts were adopted:

    1. Redefining the Retail distribution network, exploiting the potential of new technologies, namely in the digital area (Internet Banking and Mobile Banking, among others).
    1. Relaunching the affluent individuals segment, by adjusting the service model and taking up a position of leadership.
    1. Consolidating the position of leadership in providing support to micro and small enterprises.
    1. Adjust the business model of the growth-oriented corporate segment, in order to be the reference Bank in providing support to the Portuguese economy.
    1. Transform the credit recovery business through an integrated strategy of reduction of the noncore business portfolio, which may include the sale of assets and the optimisation of the recovery operating model.
    1. Build on the operating model of the Bank, by simplifying and automating processes, with a view to optimising the levels of service provided to the Customer.

In order to transform the Bank into a healthier organisation and with greater involvement with the shareholders, there are three organisation-wide work fronts under way:

    1. Definition of the level of risk to be adopted in each business area with the implementation of the Risk Appetite Framework.
    1. Promotion of a business sharing culture between business areas and geographies.
    1. Launch of a cultural transformation programme of the organisation with a focus on the development of human resources, the improvement of employee satisfaction and the consolidation of a set of values that guide the action of the Bank.

The new initiatives undertaken within the scope of the 2016-2018 Strategic Agenda can already be seen. Over 46% of Mass Market Branches and 67% of Prestige Branches had been redone by 30 September 2016. 35 branches have a new layout - the branch of the future, providing the perfect digital experience to customers and including the new Millennium Transaction Machines (MTM) that enable cashier transactions 24/7. In addition, the digital platforms have been improved and new tools were added, including online loan requests in the Millennium App, opening accounts online and a new app for company clients, helping them manage projects funded by EU grants. On the last Data E survey, Millennium bcp was considered the main Bank for Companies with funding from Portugal 2020.

PERFORMANCE VERSUS STRATEGIC PLAN

On 12 January 2017, the Bank confirmed its financial and operational business goals1 for 2018 within the scope of the share capital increase operation concluded in February 2017, as follows:

Goal 9M2017 2018
CT1 / CET12 Phased-in 13.2% ≈ 11%
Fully implemented: 11.7%
Loans -to-Deposits 93% <100%

Excluding extraordinary items: 47.3%
Cost of Risk 120 bp <75 bp

Ro E
4.2% ≈ 10%

On 30 September 2017, the regulatory capital ratio Common Equity Tier I (CET1), in accordance with the phased-in and fully implemented criteria stood at 13.2% and 11.7%, respectively, both above the target for 2018 of around 11%. The loan-to-deposits liquidity ratio stood at 93%, complying with the objective defined for 2018 (<100%).

Cost-to-Core income stated (45.8%) and without extraordinary items (47.3%) are aligned with the target for 2018 (<50%). The Cost-to-Income ratio stated stood at 43.6%, during the first nine months of 2017, below the 43% defined as the maximum threshold for 2018, however, if we exclude the extraordinary items, this ratio is still slightly above the target (45.1%).

The cost of risk is still above the objective set forth for 2018 (120 bp vs target of <75 bp), although it showed a favourable performance versus the same period of 2016 due to the relevant decrease in impairment and provisions.

The profitability of the average equity balance stood at 4.2%, below the objective of approximately 10% defined for 2018, but also evidencing a positive performance versus the same period of 2016.

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of presentation

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. Sociedade Aberta (the 'Bank') is a private capital bank, established in Portugal in 1985. It started operating on 5 May 1986, and these consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the operations of the Bank and all its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interest in associates, for the nine months ended 30 September 2017 and 2016.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 from the European Parliament and the Council, of 19 July 2002 and Bank of Portugal Notice no. 1/2005 (revoked by Bank of Portugal Notice no. 5/2015), the Group's consolidated financial statements are required to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as endorsed by the European Union ('EU') since 2005. IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC') and their predecessor bodies. The consolidated financial statements presented were approved on 31 October 2017 by the Bank's Executive Committee. The financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.

All the references in this document related to any normative always report to current version.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for the nine month period ended 30 September 2017, were prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting adopted by the EU and therefore it does not include all the information required in accordance with IFRS adopted by the EU. Consequently, the adequate comprehension of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires that it should be reading with the consolidated financial statements with reference to 31 December 2016.

The Group has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The accounting policies in this note were applied consistently to all entities of the Group and are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements of the previous period.

The Group's financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the application of fair value for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets available for sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are covered under hedge accounting are stated at fair value in respect of the risk that is being hedged, if applicable. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are stated at amortised cost or historical cost. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The liability for defined benefit obligations is recognised as the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the value of the fund's assets.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Board of Directors, on the advice of the Executive Committee to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The issues involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity or for which assumptions and estimates are considered to be significant are presented in note 1 ad).

b) Basis of consolidation

As from 1 January 2010, the Group applied IFRS 3 (revised) for the accounting of business combinations. The changes in the accounting policies resulting from the application of IFRS 3 (revised) are applied prospectively.

The consolidated financial statements now presented reflect the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Bank and its subsidiaries (the Group), and the results attributable to the Group financial investments in associates.

Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group (including structure entities and investment funds). The Group controls an entity when it holds the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity, and when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and is able to take possession of those results through the power it holds over the relevant activities of that entity (de facto control). The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Accumulated losses are attributed to non-controlling interests in the respective proportion, implying that the Group can recognise negative noncontrolling interests.

On a step acquisition process resulting in the acquisition of control, the revaluation of any participation previously acquired, is booked against the profit and loss account when goodwill is calculated. On a partial disposal resulting in loss of control over a subsidiary, any participation retained is revaluated at market value on the sale date and the gain or loss resulting from this revaluation is booked against the income statement.

Investments in associates

Investments in associated companies are consolidated by the equity method from the date that the Group acquires significant influence until the date it ceases to exist. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence but not control over the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. It is assumed that the Group has significant influence when it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 20% or of the voting rights of the investee. If the Group holds, directly or indirectly less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee, it is presumed that the Group does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

30 September 2017

The existence of significant influence by the Group is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:

  • representation on the Board of Directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;
  • participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
  • material transactions between the Group and the investee;
  • interchange of the management team;
  • provision of essential technical information.

The consolidated financial statements include the part that is attributable to the Group of the total reserves and results of associated companies accounted on an equity basis. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the carrying amount is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred in a legal obligation to assume those losses on behalf of an associate.

Goodwill

Business combinations are accounted under the purchase method. The acquisition cost corresponds to the fair value, determined at the acquisition date, of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a subsidiary are booked directly in the income statement.

Positive goodwill arising from acquisitions is recognised as an asset carried at acquisition cost and is not subject to amortisation. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates is defined as the difference between the cost of acquisition and the total or corresponding share of the fair value of the net assets and contingent liabilities acquired, depending on the option taken.

Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised directly in the income statement in the year the business combination occurs.

Goodwill is not adjusted due to changes in the initial estimate of the contingent purchase price and the difference is booked in the income statement, or in equity, when applicable.

The recoverable amount of the goodwill registered in the Group's asset is assessed annually in the preparation of the accounts with reference at the end of the year or whenever there are indications of eventual loss of value. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher between the assets value in use and the market value deducted of selling costs, calculated using valuation methodologies supported by discounted cash flow techniques, considering market conditions, the time value of money and the business risks.

Purchases and dilution of non-controlling interests

The acquisition of the non-controlling interests that does not impact the control position of a subsidiary is accounted as a transaction with shareholders and, therefore, is not recognised additional goodwill resulting from this transaction. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of non-controlling interests acquired is recognised directly in reserves. On this basis, the gains and losses resulting from the sale of controlling interests, that does not impact the control position of a subsidiary, are always recognised against reserves.

Loss of control

The gains and losses resulting from the dilution or sale of a financial position in a subsidiary, with loss of control, are recognised by the Group in the income statement.

In the dilutions of controlling interests not resulting in a loss of control, the difference between the fair value of the non-controlling interests acquired and the acquisition value, is accounted against reserves.

Investments in foreign subsidiaries and associates

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries and associates of the Group are prepared in their functional currency, defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate or the currency in which the subsidiaries obtain their income or finance their activity. In the consolidation process, assets and liabilities, including goodwill, of foreign subsidiaries are converted into euros at the official exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The exchange rates used by the Group are presented in note 51.

Regarding the investments in foreign operations that are consolidated under the full consolidation or equity methods, for exchange differences between the conversion to Euros of the opening equity at the beginning of the year and their value in Euros at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date for consolidated accounts are charged against consolidated reserves - exchange differences. The exchange differences from hedging instruments related to foreign operations are registered in equity in item "Reserves and retained earnings". Whenever the hedge is not fully effective, the ineffective portion is accounted against profit and loss of the year.

The income and expenses of these subsidiaries are converted to Euros at an approximate rate of the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions, and it is used a monthly average taking into account the initial and final exchange rate of each month. Exchange differences from the conversion to Euros of the profits and losses for the reporting period, arising from the difference between the exchange rate used in the income statement and the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, are recognised in Reserves and retained earnings - exchange differences resulting from the consolidation of Group's companies.

On disposal of investments in foreign subsidiaries for which there is loss of control, exchange differences related to the investment in the foreign operation and to the associated hedge transaction previously recognised in reserves, are transferred to profit and loss as part of the gains or loss arising from the disposal.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

The balances and transactions between Group's companies, or any unrealised gains and losses arising from these transactions, are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains and losses arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated in the proportion of the Group's investment in those entities.

c) Loans and advances to customers

Loans and advances to customers includes loans and advances originated by the Group which are not intended to be sold in the short term and are recognised when cash is advanced to customers.

The derecognition of these assets occurs in the following situations: (i) the contractual rights of the Group have expired; or (ii) the Group transferred substantially all the associated risks and rewards.

Loans and advances to customers are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and fees and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, being presented in the balance sheet net of impairment losses.

Impairment

The Group's policy consists in a regular assessment of the existence of objective evidence of impairment in the loan portfolios. Impairment losses identified are charged against results and subsequently, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, the charge is reversed against results, in a subsequent period.

After the initial recognition, a loan or a loan portfolio, defined as a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics, can be classified as impaired when there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events and when these have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan or of the loan portfolio that can be reliably estimated.

According to IAS 39, there are two methods of calculating impairment losses: (i) individually assessed loans; and (ii) collective assessment.

(i) Individually assessed loans

Impairment losses on individually assessed loans are determined by an evaluation of the exposures on a case-by-case basis. For each loan considered individually significant, the Group assesses, at each balance sheet date, the existence of any objective evidence of impairment. In determining such impairment losses on individually assessed loans, the following factors are considered:

  • group's aggregate exposure to the customer and the existence of overdue loans;
  • the viability of the customer's business and capability to generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations in the future;
  • the existence, nature and estimated value of the collaterals;
  • a significant downgrading in the customer's rating;
  • the assets available on liquidation or insolvency situations;
  • the ranking of all creditors claims;
  • the amount and timing of expected receipts and recoveries.

Impairment losses are calculated by comparing the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the loan, with its current carrying value, being the amount of any loss charged in the income statement. The carrying amount of impaired loans is presented in the balance sheet net of impairment loss. For loans with a variable interest rate, the discount rate used corresponds to the effective annual interest rate, which was applicable in the period that the impairment was determined.

Loans that are not identified as having an objective evidence of impairment are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics, and assessed collectively.

(ii) Collective assessment

Impairment losses are calculated on a collective basis under two different scenarios:

  • for homogeneous groups of loans that are not considered individually significant; or

  • losses which have been incurred but have not yet been reported (IBNR) on loans for which no objective evidence of impairment is identified (see last paragraph (i)).

The collective impairment loss is determined considering the following factors:

  • historical loss experience in portfolios with similar risk characteristics;
  • knowledge of the current economic and credit conditions and its impact on the historical losses level;
  • the estimated period between a loss occurring and its identification.

The methodology and assumptions used to estimate the future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group.

Loans, for which no evidence of impairment has been identified, are grouped together based on similar credit risk characteristics for calculating a collective impairment loss. This analysis allows the Group's recognition of losses whose identification in individual terms only occurs in future periods.

Loans and advances to customers are written-off when there is no realistic expectation, from an economic perspective, and for collateralised loans when the funds from the realization of the collateral have already been received, by the use of impairment losses when they correspond to 100% of the credits value considered as non-recoverable.

d) Financial instruments

(i) Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement

Financial assets are recognized on the trade date, thus, in the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset and are classified considering the intent behind them, according to the categories described below:

1) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

1a) Financial assets and liabilities held for trading

The financial assets and liabilities acquired or issued with the purpose of sale or re-acquisition on the short term, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares, those which are part of a financial instruments portfolio and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking or that can be included in the definition of derivative (except in the case of a derivative classified as hedging) are classified as trading. The dividends associated to these portfolios are accounted in Net gains / (losses) arising on trading and hedging activities.

The interest from debt instruments is recognised as net interest income.

Trading derivatives with a positive fair value are included in Financial assets held for trading and the trading derivatives with negative fair value are included in Financial liabilities held for trading.

1b) Other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss ("Fair Value Option")

The Group has adopted the Fair Value Option for certain own bond issues, loans and time deposits that contain embedded derivatives or with related hedging derivatives. The variations of the Group's credit risk related to financial liabilities accounted under the Fair Value Option are disclosed in the note Net gains / (losses) arising from trading and hedging activities (note 6).

The designation of other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and losses (Fair Value Option) may be performed whenever at least one of the following requirements is fulfilled:

  • the financial assets and liabilities are managed, evaluated and reported internally at its fair value;
  • the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting mismatch of the transactions;
  • the financial assets and liabilities include derivatives that significantly change the cash-flows of the original contracts (host contracts).

Considering that the transactions carried out by the Group in the normal course of its business are in market conditions, the assets and liabilities financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised initially at their fair value, with the costs or income associated with the transactions recognised in results at the initial moment, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Patrimonial variations in the fair value are recorded in Net gains / (losses) arising from trading and hedging activities (note 6). The accrual of interest and the premium / discount (when applicable) is recognised in the Net interest income based on the effective interest rate of each transaction, as well as the accrual of interest from derivatives associated with financial instruments classified in this category.

2) Financial assets available for sale

Financial assets available for sale held with the purpose of being maintained by the Group, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares, are classified as available for sale, except if they are classified in another category of financial assets. The financial assets available for sale are initially accounted at fair value, including all expenses or income associated with the transactions. The financial assets available for sale are subsequently measured at fair value. The changes in fair value are accounted for against "Fair value reserves". On disposal of the financial assets available for sale or if impairment loss exists, the accumulated gains or losses recognised as fair value reserves are recognised under "Net gains / (losses) arising from available for sale financial assets" or "Impairment for other financial assets", in the income statement, respectively. Interest income from debt instruments is recognised in Net interest income based on the effective interest rate, including a premium or discount when applicable. Dividends are recognised in profit and losses when the right to receive the dividends is attributed.

3) Financial assets held-to-maturity

The financial assets held-to-maturity include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, for which the Group has the intention and ability to maintain until the maturity of the assets and that were not included in other categories of financial assets. These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The interest is calculated using the effective interest rate method and recognised in Net interest income. The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.

Any reclassification or disposal of financial assets included in this category that does not occur close to the maturity of the assets, or if it is not framed in the exceptions stated by the rules, will require the Group to reclassify the entire portfolio as Financial assets available for sale and the Group will not be allowed to classify any assets under this category for the following two years.

4) Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments, that are not quoted in a market and which the Group does not intend to sell immediately or in a near future, may be classified in this category.

In addition to loans granted, the Group recognises in this category unquoted bonds and commercial paper. The financial assets recognised in this category are initially accounted at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost net of impairment. The transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate for these financial instruments. The interest accounted based on the effective interest rate method are recognised in Net interest income.

The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.

30 September 2017

5) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are all financial liabilities that are not recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. This category includes money market transactions, deposits from customers and from other financial institutions, issued debt, and other transactions.

These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The related transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate. The interest calculated at the effective interest rate is recognised in Net interest income.

The financial gains or losses calculated at the time of repurchase of other financial liabilities are recognised as Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities, when occurred.

(ii) Impairment

At each balance sheet date, an assessment is made of the existence of objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment resulting from one or more events that occurred after its initial recognition, such as: (i) for listed securities, a prolonged devaluation or a significant decrease in its quoted price, and (ii) for unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be estimated reasonably. According to the Group's policies, 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1 year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.

If an available for sale asset is determined to be impaired, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the profit or loss) is removed from fair value reserves and recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment loss was recognised in the profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement. Reversal of impairment losses on equity instruments, classified as financial assets available for sale, is recognised as a gain in fair value reserves when it occurs (there is no reversal in profit and losses).

(iii) Embedded derivatives

Embedded derivatives should be accounted for separately as derivatives, if the economic risks and benefits of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the host contract, as long as the hybrid (combined) instrument is not initially measured at fair value with changes through profit and loss. Embedded derivatives are classified as trading and recognised at fair value with changes through profit and loss.

6) Securitizations operations

i) Traditional securitizations

The Bank has four residential mortgage credit securitizations operations (Magellan Mortgages No.1, No.2, No.3 e No.4) which portfolios were accounted derecognized of the individual balance of the Bank, as the residual notes of the referred operations were sold to institutional investors and consequently, the risks and the benefits were substantially transferred.

With the purchase of a part of the residual note, the Group maintained the control of the assets and the liabilities of Magellan Mortgages No.2 e No.3, these Special Purpose Entities (SPE or SPV) are consolidated in the Group Financial Statements, in accordance with accounting policy referred in note 1 b).

The four operations are traditional securitizations, where each mortgage loan portfolio was sold to a Portuguese Loan Titularization Fund, which has financed this purchase through the sale of titularization units to an SPE with office in Ireland. At the same time this SPE issued and sold in the capital markets a group of different classes of bonds.

ii) Synthetic securitizations

The Group has two synthetic operations. Caravela SME No.3, which operation started on 28 June 2013, based on a medium and long term loans portfolio of current accounts and authorized overdrafts granted by BCP, mainly to small and medium companies.

Caravela SME No.4 is a similar operation, initiated on 5 June 2014, which portfolio contains car, real estate and equipment leasing granted between the Bank and a group of clients that belong to the same segment (small and medium companies).

In both operations, the Bank hired a Credit Default Swap (CDS) with a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), buying by this way the protection for the total portfolio referred. Both cases, the synthetic securitizations, the same CDS, the risk of the respective portfolios were divided in 3 classes: senior, mezzanine and equity. The mezzanine and part of the equity (20%) were placed in the market through an SPV, and the subscription by investors, the Credit Linked Notes (CLNs). The Bank retained the senior risk and part of the equity remaining (80%). The product of the CLNs issue was invested by the SPV in a deposit which total collateral the responsibilities in the presence of the Bank, in accordance of the CDS.

e) Derivatives hedge accounting

(i) Hedge accounting

The Group designates derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk, resulting from financing and investment activities. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.

Derivative hedging instruments are stated at fair value and gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Group. A hedge relationship exists when:

  • at the inception of the hedge there is formal documentation of the hedge;

  • the hedge is expected to be highly effective;

  • the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;

  • the hedge is valuable in a continuous basis and highly effective throughout the reporting period; and

  • for hedges of a forecasted transaction, the transaction is highly probable and presents an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.

When a derivative financial instrument is used to hedge foreign exchange variations arising from monetary assets or liabilities, no hedge accounting model is applied. Any gain or loss associated to the derivative is recognised through profit and loss, as well as changes in currency risk of the monetary items.

(ii) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedge instruments are recognised in profit and loss, together with changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risk of the asset or liability or group of assets and liabilities. If the hedge relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gains and losses due to variations of hedged risk linked to the hedge item recognised until the discontinuance of the hedge accounting are amortised through profit and loss over the residual period of the hedged item.

(iii) Cash flow hedge

In a hedge relationship, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in equity - cash flow hedge reserves in the effective part of the hedge relations. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognised in profit and loss when occurred.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit and loss in the periods in which the hedged item will affect profit or loss.

In case of hedging variability of cash-flows, when the hedge instrument expires or is disposed or when the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, or when the hedge relation is revoked, the hedge relationship is discontinued on a prospective basis. Therefore, the fair value changes of the derivative accumulated in equity until the date of the discontinued hedge accounting can be:

  • Deferred over the residual period of the hedged instrument; or
  • Recognised immediately in results, if the hedged instrument is extinguished.

In the case of a discontinued hedge of a forecast transaction, the change in fair value of the derivative recognised in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to profit and loss.

(iv) Hedge effectiveness

For a hedge relationship to be classified as such according to IAS 39, effectiveness has to be demonstrated. As such, the Group performs prospective tests at the beginning date of the initial hedge, if applicable and retrospective tests in order to demonstrate at each reporting period the effectiveness of the hedging relationships, demonstrating that the variations in fair value of the hedging instrument are hedged by the fair value variations of the hedged item in the portion assigned to the risk covered. Any ineffectiveness is recognised immediately in profit and loss when incurred.

(v) Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any exchange gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognised in profit and loss. Gains and losses accumulated in equity related to the investment in a foreign operation and to the associated hedge operation are recognised in equity are transferred to profit and loss, on the disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss from the disposal.

f) Reclassifications between financial instruments categories

In October 2008, the IASB issued a change to IAS 39 – Reclassification of Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments Disclosures). This change allowed an entity to transfer financial assets from Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss – trading to Financial assets available for sale, to Loans and Receivables - Loans represented by securities or to Financial assets held-to-maturity, as long as the requirement referred in the standard namely when there is some event that is uncommon and highly improbable that will occur again in the short term, that is, the event can be classified as a rare circumstance. The Group adopted this possibility for a group of financial assets.

30 September 2017

Transfers of financial assets recognised in the category of Financial assets available-for-sale to Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities and to Financial assets held-to-maturity are allowed, in determined and specific circumstances.

Transfers from and to Other financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (Fair value option) are prohibited.

g) Derecognition

The Group derecognises financial assets when all rights to future cash flows have expired. In a transfer of assets, derecognition can only occur either when risks and rewards have been substantially transferred or the Group does not maintain control over the assets.

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when these are cancelled or extinguished.

h) Equity instruments

A financial instrument is an equity instrument only if (a) the instrument includes no contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the entity and (b) if the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer's own equity instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no contractual obligation for the issuer to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments or a derivative that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.

An equity instrument, independently from its legal form, evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Transaction costs directly attributable to an equity instruments' issuance are recognised in equity as a deduction to the amount issued. Amounts paid or received related to sales or acquisitions of equity instruments are recognised in equity, net of transaction costs.

Preference shares issued by the Group are considered as an equity instrument when redemption of the shares is solely at the discretion of the Group and dividends are paid at the discretion of the Group.

Income from equity instruments (dividends) are recognised when the right to receive this income is established and are deducted to equity.

i) Compound financial instruments

Financial instruments that contain both a liability and an equity component (example: convertible bonds) are classified as compound financial instruments. For those instruments classified as compound financial instruments, the terms of its conversion to ordinary shares (number of shares) cannot change with changes in its fair value. The financial liability component corresponds to the present value of the future interest and principal payments, discounted at the market interest rate applicable to similar financial liabilities that do not have a conversion option. The equity component corresponds to the difference between the proceeds of the issue and the amount attributed to the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost through the effective interest rate method. The interests are recognised in Net interest income.

j) Securities borrowing and repurchase agreement transactions

(i) Securities borrowing

Securities lent under securities lending arrangements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are measured in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. Cash collateral received in respect of securities lent is recognised as a financial liability. Securities borrowed under securities borrowing agreements are not recognised. Cash collateral placements in respect of securities borrowed are recognised under loans and advances to either banks or customers. Income and expenses arising from the securities borrowing and lending business are recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transactions and are included in interest income or expense (net interest income).

(ii) Repurchase agreements

The Group performs acquisition/sale of securities under reselling/repurchase agreements of securities substantially equivalent in a future date at a predetermined price ('repos'/'reverse repos'). The securities related to reselling agreements in a future date are not recognised on the balance sheet. The amounts paid are recognised in loans and advances to customers or loans and advances to credit institutions. The receivables are collateralised by the related securities. Securities sold through repurchase agreements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are revaluated in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. The amounts received from the proceeds of these securities are considered as deposits from customers and deposits from credit institutions. The difference between the acquisition/sale and reselling/repurchase conditions is recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transaction and is included in interest income or expenses.

k) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued or discontinuing operations

Non-current assets, groups of non-current assets held for sale (groups of assets together with related liabilities that include at least a non current asset) and discontinued operations are classified as held for sale when it is intention to sell the referred assets and liabilities and when the referred assets or group of assets are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable. In order for the sale to be considered highly probable, the Group must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group), and must have been initiated an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan. In addition, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. Furthermore, it should be expected the sale to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, except as permitted by paragraph 9 of IFRS 5 and the actions required to complete the plan should indicate the improbability of significant changes in the plan or of the plan to be withdrawn.

The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale those non-current assets or groups of assets acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, which are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets or all assets and liabilities in a disposal group, is performed in accordance with the applicable IFRS. After their reclassification, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their cost and fair value less costs to sell.

Discontinued operations and the subsidiaries acquired exclusively with the purpose to sell in the short term are consolidated until the moment of its sale.

The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale, the investments arising from recovered loans that are measured initially by the lower of its fair value net of selling costs and the loan's carrying amount on the date that the recovery occurs or the judicial decision is formalised.

The fair value is determined based on the expected selling price estimated through periodic valuations performed by external valuation experts properly accredited, according to the periodicity defined in the Bank's regulations. The subsequent measurement of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value less costs to sell, not subjected to depreciation. In case of unrealised losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.

l) Lease transactions

In accordance with IAS 17, the lease transactions are classified as financial whenever their terms transfer substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the property to the lessee. The remaining leases are classified as operational. The classification of the leases is done according to the substance and not the form of the contract.

Finance lease transactions

At the lessee's perspective, finance lease transactions are recorded at the beginning as an asset and liability at fair value of the leased asset, which is equivalent to the present value of the future lease payments. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial charge and the amortisation of the capital outstanding. The financial charge is allocated to the periods during the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining liability balance for each period.

At the lessor's perspective, assets held under finance leases are recorded in the balance sheet as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial income and amortization of the capital outstanding. Recognition of the financial result reflects a constant periodical return rate over the remaining net investment of the lessor.

Assets received arising from the resolution of leasing contracts and complying with the definition of assets held for sale classified in this category, are measured in accordance with the accounting policy defined in note 1k).

Operational leases

At the lessee's perspective, the Group has various operating leases for properties and vehicles. The payments under these leases are recognised in Other administrative costs during the life of the contract, and neither the asset nor the liability associated with the contract is evidenced in its balance sheet.

m) Interest recognition

Interest income and expense for financial instruments measured at amortised cost are recognised in the interest income or expenses (net interest income) through the effective interest rate method. The interest related to financial assets available for sale calculated at the effective interest rate method are also recognised in net interest income as well as those from assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.

The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument (or, when appropriate, for a shorter period), to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

For calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example: early payment options) but without considering future impairment losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received considered as included in the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts directly related to the transaction, except for assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.

If a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognised based on the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.

Specifically regarding the accounting policy for interest on overdue loans' portfolio, the following aspects are considered:

  • interest income for overdue loans with collaterals are accounted for as income, up to the limit of the valuation of the collateral on a prudent basis, in accordance with IAS 18, assuming that there is a reasonable probability of recoverability; and

  • the interests accrued and not paid for overdue loans for more than 90 days that are not covered by collaterals are written-off from the Bank's financial statements and are recognised only when received, in accordance with IAS 18, on the basis that its recoverability is considered to be remote.

For derivative financial instruments, except those classified as hedging instruments of interest rate risk, the interest component is not separated from the changes in the fair value and is classified under Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities. For hedging derivatives of interest rate risk and those related to financial assets or financial liabilities recognised in the Fair Value Option category, the interest component is recognised under interest income or expense (Net interest income).

n) Recognition of income from services and commissions

Income from services and commissions are recognised according to the following criteria:

  • when are earned as services are provided, are recognised in income over the period in which the service is being provided;
  • when are earned on the execution of a significant act, are recognised as income when the service is completed.

Income from services and commissions, that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument, are recognised in net interest income.

o) Financial net gains / losses (Net gains / losses arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity)

The caption Financial net gains / losses includes gains and losses arising from financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, that is, fair value changes and interest on trading derivatives and embedded derivatives, as well as the corresponding dividends received. This caption also includes the gains and losses arising from the sale of available for sale financial assets and financial assets held to maturity. The changes in fair value of hedging derivatives and hedged items, when fair value hedge is applicable, are also recognised in this caption.

p) Fiduciary activities

Assets held in the scope of fiduciary activities are not recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Fees and commissions arising from this activity are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they occur.

q) Other tangible assets

Other tangible assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits will result for the Group. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, over the following periods which correspond to their estimated useful life:

Number of years
Buildings 50
Expenditure on freehold and leasehold buildings 10
Equipment 4 to 12
Other tangible assets 3

Whenever there is an indication that a fixed tangible asset might be impaired, its recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss shall be recognised if the net value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined as the highest between the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use calculated based on the present value of future cash-flows estimated to be obtained from the continued use of the asset and its sale at the end of the useful life.

The impairment losses of the fixed tangible assets are recognised in profit and loss for the period.

r) Investment property

Real estate properties owned by the investment funds consolidated in the Group, are recognised as Investment properties considering, that the main objective of these buildings is the capital appreciation on a long term basis and not its sale in a short term period, or its maintenance for own use.

These investments are initially recognised at its acquisition cost, including the transaction costs and subsequently revaluated at its fair value. The fair value of the investment property should reflect the market conditions at the balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognised in results as Other operating income / (costs) (note 8).

The experts responsible for the valuation of the assets are properly certified for that purpose, being registered in CMVM.

s) Intangible Assets

Research and development expenditure

The Group does not capitalise any research and development costs. All expenses are recognised as costs in the period in which they occur.

Software

The Group accounts, as intangible assets, the costs associated to software acquired from external entities and depreciates them on a straight line basis by an estimated lifetime of three years. The Group does not capitalise internal costs arising from software development.

t) Cash and equivalents

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than three months' maturity from the balance sheet date, including cash and deposits with Central Banks and loans and advances to credit institutions.

u) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and recognised at their net book value when: i) the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts recognised and transactions can be settled at their net value; and ii) the Group intends to settle on a net basis or perform the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Considering the current operations of the Group, no compensation of material amount is made. In case of reclassifications of comparative amounts, the provisions of IAS 1.41 are disclosed: a) the nature of the reclassification; b) the amount of each item (or class of items) reclassified and c) the reason for the reclassification.

v) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined against profit and loss, except for financial assets available-for-sale, for which the difference is recognised against equity.

w) Employee benefits

i) Defined benefit plans

The Group has the responsibility to pay to their employees' retirement pensions and widow and orphan benefits and permanent disability pensions, in accordance with the agreement entered with the two collective labour arrangements. These benefits are estimated in the pension's plans 'Plano ACT' and 'Plano ACTQ' of the Pension Plan of BCP Group.

Until 2011, along with the benefits provided in two planes above, the Group had assumed the responsibility, under certain conditions in each year, of assigning a complementary plan to the Group's employees hired before 21 September, 2006 (Complementary Plan). The Group at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP ("Instituto de Seguros de Portugal" - Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change to the benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made, having been assigned to the employees, individual rights acquired. On that date, the Group also proceeded to the settlement of the related liability.

From 1 January 2011, banks' employees were integrated in the General Social Security Scheme which now covers their maternity, paternity, adoption and pension benefits. However, the Banks remain liable for those benefits as concern illness, disability and life insurance (Decree-Law no. 1-A/2011, of 3 January).

The contributory rate is 26.6% divided between 23.6% supported by the employer and 3% supported by the employees, replacing the Banking Social Healthcare System which was extinguished by the decree law referred above. As a consequence of this amendment the capability to receive pensions by the actual employees are covered by the General Social Security Scheme regime, considering the service period between 1 January 2011 and the retirement age. The Bank supports the remaining difference for the total pension assured in Collective Labor Agreement.

This change has led to a decrease in the present value of the total benefits reported to the retirement age to be borne by the Pension Fund, and this effect is to be recorded in a linear way during the average lifetime of the pension until the normal retirement age is reached.

Following the approval by the Government of the Decree-Law no. 127/2011, which was published on 31 December, was established an agreement between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the Banking Labour Unions in order to transfer, to the Social Security, the liabilities related to pensions currently being paid to pensioners and retirees, as at 31 December 2011.

This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred related to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the component established in the IRCT - Instrument of Collective Regulation of Work of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related to the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continued to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions.

At the end of December 2016, a revision of the Collective Labour Agreement (ACT) was reached between the BCP Group and the two unions representive of the Group's employees, which introduced changes in the Social Security chapter and consequently in the pension plan financed by the BCP Group Pension Fund. The new ACT has already been published by the Ministry of Labor in Bulletin of Labor and Employment, and their effects were recorded in the financial statements of 31 December 2016, for employees associated with these two unions..

The negotiation with the " Sindicato dos Bancários do Norte"" ("SBN"), which was also involved in the negotiations of the new ACT, was concluded in April 2017 with the publication of the Bulletin of Labor and Employment, with the effects of this new ACT recorded in the financial statements as at 30 September 2017, for employees associates of SBN.

The most relevant changes occurred in the ACT were the change in the retirement age (presumed disability) that changed from 65 years to 66 years and two months in 2016, and the subsequent update of a further month for each year, at the beginning of each calendar year,and can not, in any case, be higher than which it is in force at any moment in the General Regime of Social Security, the change in the formula for determining the employer's contribution to the SAMS and a new benefit called the End of career premium that replaces the Seniority premium.

These changes described above were framed by the Group as a change to the pension plan under the terms of IAS 19, as such had an impact on the present value of the liabilities with services rendered and were recognised in the income statement for the year under "Staff costs ".

The Group's net obligation in respect of pension plans (defined benefit pensions plan) is calculated on a half year basis at 31 December and 30 June of each year, and whenever there are significant market fluctuations or significant specific events, such as changes in the plan, curtailments or settlements since the last estimate. The responsibilities with past service are calculated using the Unit Credit Projected method and actuarial assumptions considered adequate.

Pension liabilities are calculated by the responsible actuary, who is certified by the Insurance Supervision Authority and Pension Fund (ASF).

The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans and other benefits is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The benefit is discounted in order to determine its present value, using a discount rate determined by reference to interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations. The net obligations are determined after the deduction of the fair value of the Pension Plan's assets.

Extra-fund liability refers to pension supplements allocated to various employees under the retirement's negotiation processes with the aim of encouraging them to join staff reduction programs.

The income / cost of interests with the pension plan is calculated, by the Group, multiplying the net asset / liability with retirement pension (liabilities less the fair value of the plan's assets) by the discount rate used in the determination of the retirement pension liabilities, mentioned before. On this basis, the income / cost net of interests includes the interest costs associated with retirement pension liabilities and the expected return of the plan's assets, both measured based on the discount rate used to calculate the liabilities.

Gains and losses from the re-measurement, namely (i) actuarial gains and losses resulting from differences between actuarial assumptions used and the amounts actually observed (experience gains and losses) and changes in actuarial assumptions and (ii) gains and losses arising from the difference between the expected return of the plan's assets and the amounts obtained, are recognised against equity under other comprehensive income.

The Group recognises in its income statement a net total amount that comprises (i) the current service cost, (ii) the income / cost net of interest with the pension plan, (iii) the effect of early retirement, (iv ) past service costs and (v) the effects of any settlement or curtailment occurred during the period. The net income / cost with the pension plan is recognised as interest and similar income or interest expense and similar costs depending on their nature. The costs of early retirements correspond to the increase in liabilities due to the employee's retirement before reaching the age of retirement.

Employee benefits, other than pension plans, namely post retirement health care benefits and benefits for the spouse and sons for death before retirement are also included in the benefit plan calculation.

The contributions to the funds are made annually by each Group company according to a certain plan contributions to ensure the solvency of the fund. The minimum level required for the funding is 100% regarding the pension payments and 95% regarding the past services of active employees.

ii) Defined contribution plan

For Defined Contribution Plan, the responsibilities related to the benefits attributed to the Group's employees are recognised as expenses when incurred.

As at 30 September 2017, the Group has two defined contribution plans. One plan covers employees who were hired before 1 July 2009. For this plan, called non-contributory, Group's contributions will be made annually and equal to 1% of the annual remuneration paid to employees in the previous year. Contributions shall only be made if the following requirements are met: (i) the Bank's ROE equals or exceeds the rate of government bonds of 10 years plus 5 percentage points, and (ii) distributable profits or reserves exist in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.

The other plan covers employees who have been hired after 1 July 2009. For this plan, designated contributory, monthly contributions will be made equal to 1.5% of the monthly remuneration received by employees in the current month, either by themselves or by the Group and employees. This contribution has a mandatory character and is defined in the Collective Labor Agreement of the BCP Group, and does not have a performance criterion.

iii) Share based compensation plan

As at 30 September 2017 there are no share based compensation plans in force.

iv) Variable remuneration paid to employees

The Executive Committee decides on the most appropriate criteria of allocation among employees, whenever it is attributed. This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the period to which it relates.

x) Income taxes

The Group is subject to the regime established by the Income Tax Code ("CIRC"). Additionally, deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences between the accounting net income and the net income accepted by the Tax Authorities for Income Taxes calculation are accounted for, whenever there is a reasonable probability that those taxes will be paid or recovered in the future.

Income tax registered in net income for the year comprises current and deferred tax effects. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, except when related to items recognised directly in equity, which implies its recognition in equity. Deferred taxes arising from the revaluation of financial assets available for sale and cash flow hedging derivatives are recognised in shareholders' equity and are recognised after in the income statement at the moment the profit and loss that originated the deferred taxes are recognised.

Current tax is the value that determines the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred taxes are calculated in accordance with the liability method based on the balance sheet, considering temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for taxation purposes using the tax rates approved or substantially approved at balance sheet date and that is expected to be applied when the temporary difference is reversed.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except for goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, differences arising on initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that probably they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred taxes assets are recognised to the extent when it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to absorb deductible temporary differences for taxation purposes (including reportable taxable losses).

The Group, as established in IAS 12, paragraph 74, compensates the deferred tax assets and liabilities if, and only if: (i) has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

In 2016, a group of entities of the BCP Group adhered to the Special Regime for the Taxation of Groups of Companies ("RETGS") for the purposes of taxation of income tax.

Under the scope of taxation under this regime, the Group chose to consider that the effects of the determination of the taxable income according to RETGS are reflected in the tax calculation of each entity's fiscal year, which includes the effect on the current tax due to the use of tax loss carry forwards generated by another entity of the Group.

y) Segmental reporting

The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating and geographic segments. A business segment is a Group's component: (i) which develops business activities that can obtain revenues or expenses; (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the management with the aim of taking decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assess its performance, and (iii) for which separate financial information is available.

The Group controls its activity through the following major operating segments:

Portugal activity:

  • Retail Banking, also including ActivoBank;
  • Companies, Corporate and Investment Banking;
  • Private Banking;
  • Non-core business portfolio;
  • Other.

"Other" (Portugal activity) includes the activities that are not allocated to remaining segments namely centralized management of financial investments, corporate activities and insurance activity.

Foreign activity:

  • Poland;
  • Mozambique;
  • Other.

"Other" (foreign activity) includes the activity developed by subsidiaries in Switzerland and Cayman Islands and also the contribution of the participation in an associate in Angola.

In the context of the Banco Millennium in Angola merger process with Banco Privado Atlântico, which agreement occurred in 22 April 2016 and the conclusion of the process of the necessary authorizations in 3 May 2016, Banco Millennium Angola was considered as a discontinued operation in March 2016, with the impact of its results presented in the balance Income / (loss) arising from discontinued or discontinuing operations and restated for the previous periods. At the consolidated balance, the assets and liabilities of Banco Millennium Angola, S.A. continued to be consolidated by the purchase method till April 2016.

After the completion of the merger, in May 2016, the assets and liabilities of Banco Millennium in Angola stopped being considered in the consolidated balance sheet and the investment of 22.5 % in Banco Millennium Atlântico, the new merged entity, started being consolidated using the equity method and its contribution to the Group's results have been recognised in the consolidated accounts from May 2016 onwards, in the balance "Share of profit of associates under the equity method".

z) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when (i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or resulting from past practices or published policies that imply the recognition of certain responsibilities); (ii) it is probable that a payment will be required to settle (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The measurement of provisions takes into account the principles set in IAS 37 regarding the best estimate of the expected cost, the most likely result of current actions and considering the risks and uncertainties inherent in the process result. On the cases that the discount effect is material, provision corresponds to the actual value of the expected future payments, discounted by a rate that considers the associated risk of the obligation.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

30 September 2017

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate, being reverted through profit and loss in the proportion of the payments that are probable.

The provisions are derecognised through their use for the obligations for which they were initially accounted or for the cases that the situations were not already observed.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements, being framed under IAS 37 whenever the possibility of an outflow of resources regarding economic benefits is not remote.

The group registers a contingent liability when:

(a) it is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or

(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:

(i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or (ii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability

The contingent liabilities identified are subject to disclosure, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources incorporating economic benefits is remote.

Contingent assets

Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements and are disclosed when a future economic inflow of resources is probable.

aa) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares.

For the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted to consider conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potential or contingent share issues are treated as dilutive when their conversion to shares would decrease net earnings per share. If the earnings per share are changed as a result of an issue with premium or discount or other event that changed the potential number of ordinary shares or as a result of changes in the accounting policies, the earnings per share for all presented periods should be adjusted retrospectively.

ab) Insurance contracts

Classification

The Group issues contracts that contain insurance risk, financial risk or a combination of both insurance and financial risk. A contract, under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from another party, by agreeing to compensate that party on the occurrence of a specified uncertain future event, is classified as an insurance contract.

A contract issued by the Group without significant insurance risk, but on which financial risk is transferred with discretionary participating features is classified as an investment contract recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to insurance contracts. A contract issued by the Group that transfers only financial risk, without discretionary participating features, is accounted for as a financial instrument.

Recognition and measurement

Premiums of life insurance and investment contracts with discretionary participating features, which are considered as long-term contracts are recognised as income when due from the policyholders. The benefits and other costs are recognised concurrently with the recognition of income over the life of the contracts. This specialization is achieved through the establishment of provisions / liabilities of insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participating features.

The responsibilities correspond to the present value of future benefits payable, net of administrative expenses directly associated with the contracts, less the theoretical premiums that would be required to comply with the established benefits and related expenses. The liabilities are determined based on assumptions of mortality, costs of management or investment at the valuation date.

For contracts where the payment period is significantly shorter than the period of benefit, premiums are deferred and recognised as income in proportion to the duration period of risk coverage. Regarding short-term contracts, including contracts of non-life insurance, premiums are recorded at the time of issue. The award is recognised as income acquired in a pro-rata basis during the term of the contract. The provision for unearned premiums represents the amount of issued premiums on risks not occurred.

Premiums

Gross premiums written are recognised for as income in the period to which they respect independently from the moment of payment or receivable, in accordance with the accrual accounting principle. Reinsurance premiums ceded are accounted for as expense in the period to which they respect in the same way as gross premiums written.

Provision for unearned premiums from direct insurance and reinsurance premiums ceded

The provision for unearned gross premiums is based on the evaluation of the premiums written before the end of the year but for which the risk period continues after the year end. This provision is calculated using the pro-rata temporis method applied to each contract in force.

Liability adequacy test

At each reporting date, the Group evaluates the adequacy of liabilities arising from insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participating features. The evaluation of the adequacy of responsibilities is made based on the projection of future cash flows associated with each contract, discounted at market interest rate without risk. This evaluation is done product by product or aggregate of products when the risks are similar or managed jointly. Any deficiency, if exists, is recorded in the Group's results as determined.

ac) Insurance or reinsurance intermediation services

The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the 'Autoridade de Supervisão de Seguros e Fundos de Pensões' (Portuguese Insurance Regulation) to practice the activity of insurance intermediation in the category of Online Insurance Broker, in accordance with Article 8., Paragraph a), point i) of Decree-Law n. º 144/2006, of July 31, developing the activity of insurance intermediation in life and nonlife.

Within the insurance intermediation services, these banks perform the sale of insurance contracts. As compensation for services rendered for insurance intermediation, they receive commissions for arranging contracts of insurance and investment contracts, which are defined in the agreements / protocols established with the Insurance Companies.

Commissions received by insurance intermediation are recognised in accordance with the accrual accounting principle, so the commissions which receipt occurs at different time period to which it relates are subject to registration as an amount receivable under Other Assets.

ad) Accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies

IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments that requires that the Board of Directors, on the advice of the Executive Committee, to apply judgments and to make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate. The most significant of these accounting estimates and judgments used in the accounting principles application are discussed in this section in order to improve understanding of how their application affects the Group's reported results and related disclosure.

Considering that in some cases there are several alternatives to the accounting treatment chosen by the Board of Directors, on the advice of the Executive Committee, the Group's reported results would differ if a different treatment was chosen. The Board of Directors, on the advice of the Executive Committee, believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statements present the Group's financial position and results fairly in all material relevant aspects.

The alternative outcomes discussed below are presented solely to assist the reader in understanding the financial statements and are not intended to suggest that other alternatives or estimates would be more appropriate.

i) Impairment losses on loans and advances to customers

The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment losses on a regularly basis, as described in note 1 c). The evaluation process in determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The probability of default, risk ratings, value of associated collaterals recovery rates and the estimation of both the amount and timing of future cash flows received, among other things, are considered in making this evaluation.

Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in Group's Income Statement.

ii) Income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the total amount for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Different interpretations and estimates would result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the year.

This aspect assumes greater relevance for the purposes of the analysis of the recoverability of deferred taxes, in which the Group considers projections of future taxable income based on a set of assumptions, including the estimate of income before tax, adjustments to the taxable and the interpretation of the tax legislation. Thus, the recoverability of deferred tax assets depends on the implementation of the Bank's Board of Directors, namely the ability to generate estimated taxable income and the interpretation of the tax legislation.

The taxable profit or tax loss reported by the Bank or its subsidiaries located in Portugal can be corrected by the Portuguese tax authorities within four years except in the case it has been made any deduction or used tax credit, when the expiration date is the period of this right report. The Executive Committee believes that any corrections resulting mainly from differences in the interpretation of tax law will not have material effect on the financial statements.

Regarding the activity in Portugal, the specific rules regarding the tax regime for credit impairment and guarantees for the tax periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 are not defined, since the reference to the Bank of Portugal Notice No. 3/95 was only applicable until 31 December 2016 and the regime that will be effective as at 1 January 2017 has not yet been defined. In this context, the Executive Committee is considering, for the purpose of calculating taxable income and the deferred tax recording with reference to 30 September 2017, that the impairment of the credit and guarantees recorded which is deductible for IRC purpose is limited to the amount of the deductible provisions that would have been verified if the Bank of Portugal Notice No. 3/95 still remained in force.

In the projections of future taxable income, the Bank considered the approximation between the tax rules and the accounting rules underlying a draft bill amending the article 28-C of the IRC Code which was publicly referred to by the Secretary of State of Fiscal Issues in functions until 13 July 2017, under the terms described in note 31, since it is considered that a diploma is likely to be approved without substantial changes in relation to referred draft bill.

iii) Non-current assets held for sale (real estate) valuation

The properties registered in the portfolio of non-current assets held for sale are subject to periodic real estate valuations, carried out by independent experts registered at the CMVM, from their registration and until their derecognition, to be carried out on a property by property basis, according to the circumstances in which each property is and consistent with the disposal strategy. The preparation of these evaluations involves the use of several assumptions. Different assumptions or changes occurred in them may affect the recognised value of these assets.

iv) Pension and other employees' benefits

Determining pension liabilities requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the use of actuarial projections, estimated returns on investment, and other factors, such as discount rate, pensions and salary growth rate, mortality table, that could impact the cost and liability of the pension plan.

As defined by IAS 19, the discount rate used to update the responsibilities of the Bank's pension fund is based on an analysis performed over the market yield regarding a bond issues universe – with high quality (low risk), different maturities (appropriate to the period of liquidation of the fund's liabilities) and denominated in Euros - related to a diverse and representative range of issuers.

v) Impairment of financial assets available for-sale

The Group determines that financial assets available for-sale are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates among other factors, the volatility in the prices of the financial assets. According to the Group's policies, 30% of depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1 year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.

In addition, valuations are generally obtained through market quotation or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.

Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in profit and loss of the Group.

vi) Fair value of derivatives

Fair values are based on listed market prices if available, otherwise fair value is determined either by dealer price quotations (either for that transaction or for similar instruments traded) or by pricing models, based on net present value of estimated future cash flows which take into account market conditions for the underlying instruments, time value, yield curve and volatility factors. These pricing models may require assumptions or judgments in estimating their fair values. Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model could result in different results from the ones reported.

vii) Held-to-maturity investments

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying some of its non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant judgment.

In making this judgment, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances — for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity — it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale with its consequently fair value measure and not at the amortization cost. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value instead of amortised cost. Held-to-maturity investments are subject to impairment tests made by the Group. The use of different assumptions and estimates could have an impact in profit and loss of the Group.

viii) Entities included in the consolidation perimeter

For the purposes of determining entities to include in the consolidation perimeter, the Group assess whether it is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns from its involvement with the entity and it is able to take possession of those results through the power it holds (de facto control). The decision if an entity needs to be consolidated by the Group requires the use of judgment, estimates and assumptions to determine what extend the Group is exposed to the variable returns and its ability to use its power to affect those returns. Different estimates and assumptions could lead the Group to a different scope of consolidation perimeter with a direct impact in consolidated income.

ix) Goodwill impairment

The recoverable amount of the goodwill recorded in the Group's asset is assessed annually in the preparation of accounts with reference to the end of the year or whenever there are indications of eventual loss of value. For this purpose, the carrying amount of the business units of the Group for which goodwill has been recognised is compared with the respective recoverable amount. A goodwill impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the business unit exceeds the respective recoverable amount.

In the absence of an available market value, the recoverable amount is determined using cash flows predictions, applying a discount rate that includes a risk premium appropriated to the business unit being tested. Determining the cash flows to discount and the discount rate, involves judgment.

ae) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the date of the statement of financial position that provide information on situations occurring after that date, if significant, are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Bank's share capital, as at 30 September 2017, amounts to Euros 5,600,738,053.72 and is represented by 15,113,989,952 ordinary, book-entry and nominats shares, without nominal value, which is fully paid.

The average number of shares in 2016 was adjusted retrospectively by both the capital increase carried out in 2017 and the reverse stock split and by the increase in private subscription capital, both made in 2016, but after 30 June.

In September 2016 there were not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the qualifying hybrid instruments as common equity tier 1 issued in June 2012 and subscribed fully by the State (CoCos), due to the negative net losses for the period (there is no dilution effect). It should be noted that on 9 February 2017, BCP has reimbursed in advance to the Portuguese State, the remaining amount of these instruments (Euros 700 million).

There were not identified another dilution effects of the earnings per share as at 30 September 2017 and 2016, so the diluted result is equivalent to the basic result.

(a) Special Regime applicable to deferred tax assets

The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Bank, held on 15 October 2014, approved the Bank's adherence to the special regime applicable to deferred tax assets, approved by Law no. 61/2014, of August 26, applicable to expenses and negative equity variations recorded in taxable periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and the deferred tax assets that are recorded in the annual accounts of the taxpayer to the last period prior to that date and the taxation of the expenses and negative equity variations that are associated with them. Pursuant to Law no. 23/2016, of 19 August, this special regime is not apply to expenses and negative equity changes recorded in the tax periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, or to tax assets associated with them.

The Law no. 61/2014, of 26 August, provides an optional framework with the possibility of subsequent resignation, according to which, in certain situations (those of negative net result in individual annual accounts or liquidation by voluntary dissolution, insolvency decreed in court or revocation of the respective authorization), there will be a conversion into tax credits of the deferred tax assets that have resulted from the non-deduction of expenses and reductions in the value of assets resulting from impairment losses on credits and from post-employment or long-term employee benefits. In this case, it should be constituted a special reserve corresponding to 110% of its amount, which implies the simultaneous constitution of conversion rights attributable to the State of equivalent value, which rights can be acquired by the shareholders through payment to the State of that same amount. Tax credits can be offset against tax debts of the beneficiaries (or from an entity based in Portugal of the same prudential consolidation perimeter) or reimbursable by the State. Under the regime described, the recovery of deferred tax assets covered by the optional regime approved by Law no. 61/2014, of 26 August, is not dependent on future profits.

The above-mentioned legal framework was densified by ordinance no. 259/2015, of 4 October, about the control and use of tax credits, and by the ordinance No. 293-A / 2016, of 18 November, which establishes the conditions and procedures for the acquisition by the shareholders of the referred rights of the State. According to this legislation, among other aspects, these rights are subject to a right of acquisition by the shareholders on the date of creation of the rights of the State, exercisable in periods that will be established by the Board of Directors until 10 years after the date of its creation, and the issuing bank shall deposit in the name of the State the amount of the price corresponding to all the rights issued, within 3 months of date of its creation, in advance and independently of its acquisition. Such deposit shall be redeemed when and to the extent that the rights of the State are acquired by the shareholders, or exercised by the State.

Deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rates expected to be in force when the temporary differences are reversed, which correspond to the approved rates or substantively approved at the balance sheet date. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis whenever, in accordance with applicable law, current tax assets and current tax liabilities can be offset and when the deferred taxes are related to the same tax.

The deferred tax rate for Banco Comercial Português, S.A. is analysed as follows:

Description Sep 2017 Dec 2016
Income tax 21% 21%
Municipal surtax rate 1.5% 1.5%
State tax rate 7% 7%
Total 29.5% 29.5%

The tax applicable to deferred taxes related to tax losses of the Bank is 21% (31 December 2016: 21%).

The average deferred tax rate associated with temporary differences of the Bank is 29.43% (31 December 2016: 29.43%). The income tax rate in the other main countries where the Group operates is 19% in Poland, 32% in Mozambique, 0% (exemption) in the Cayman Islands and 24.24% in Switzerland.

The reporting period of tax losses in Portugal is 5 years for the losses of 2012, 2013 and 2017 and 12 years for the losses of 2014, 2015 and 2016. In Poland, the term is 5 years, in Mozambique it is 5 years and in Switzerland it is 7 years.

The balance of deferred tax assets, with reference to 30 September 2017, related to expenses and negative equity variations with post-employment or long-term employee benefits and to specific credit impairment losses registered up to 31 December 2014 amounts to Euros 1,640,215,000, of which Euros 210,686,000 and Euros 4,020,000 were recorded in 2015 and 2016, respectively, assets which are considered eligible for the scheme approved by Law no. 61/2014, of 26 August.

Regarding the activity in Portugal, the specific rules regarding the tax regime for credit impairment and guarantees for the tax periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 are not defined, since the reference to the Bank of Portugal Notice No. 3/95 was only applicable until 31 December 2016 and the regime that will be effective as at 1 January 2017 has not yet been defined. In this context, the Bank is considering, for the purpose of calculating taxable income and the deferred tax recording with reference to 30 September 2017, that the impairment of the credit and guarantees recorded which is deductible for IRC purpose is limited to the amount of the deductible provisions that would have been verified if the Bank of Portugal Notice No. 3/95 still remained in force.

In the projections of future taxable income, the Executive Committee considered the approximation between the tax rules and accounting rules underlying a bill amending article 28-C of the IRC Code and publicly referred to by the Secretary of State of Fiscal Issues in office until July 13, 2017, on the understanding that it is probable the approval of a diploma without substantial changes in relation to the referred bill.

Briefly, in accordance with referred bill, the impairment losses resulting from individual analysis are deductible up to the amount corresponding to the application of the maximum reference percentages set by the Bank of Portugal (provided in the Circular Letter n. 2/2014) on the value of the exposure not covered by assets given as collateral for the respective payment and impairment losses resulting from a collective analysis are deductible at 75% of the amount of the difference, when positive, calculated annually between the accumulated amount of these losses and the balance that has been accepted for tax purposes in previous taxation years, with a transition period of 15 years with increasing percentages for the tax deductibility of impairment losses for credit and guarantees not accepted fiscally until 31 December 2016 and which become deductible under the terms provided in the bill. In this context, in the projections of future taxable income, were considered the scenario in which the impairment losses resulting from individual analysis are fully deductible.

Additionally, as part of the analysis of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Bank prepared a sensitivity analysis on the assumption of future maintenance of the tax regime applicable to impairment for credit and guarantees that was in force in 2016 (Bank of Portugal Notice No 3/95). According to this sensitivity analysis, the Bank also concluded the recoverability of all deferred tax assets recorded as at 30 September 2017.

In accordance with the accounting policy 1 ad. ii), and with the requirements of IAS 12, the deferred tax assets were recognized based on the Group's expectation of their recoverability.

The recoverability of deferred taxes depends on the implementation of the strategy of the Bank's Board of Directors, namely the generation of estimated taxable income and its interpretation of tax legislation. Any changes in the assumptions used in estimating future profits or tax legislation may have material impacts on deferred tax assets.

The assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets was carried out for each entity included in the Group's consolidation perimeter based on the respective financial statements prepared under the budget process for 2017 and which support future taxable income for each Group's entity considering the macroeconomic and competitive environment, at the same time that incorporate the Group's strategic priorities.

The projections made take into consideration, in addition to the Group's strategic priorities, certain assumptions of the Funding and Capital Plan requested by Bank of Portugal, namely in terms of interest rate evolution, and are globally consistent with the Reduction Plan of Non-Performing Assets 2017-2021 sent it to the supervisory entity, underlining:

  • Improvement of the net interest income, considering interest rate curves used under the scope of the projections of net interest income in line with the market forecasts;

  • Stabilization of the ratio loans and advances over the balance sheet resources from customer by approximately 100%, simultaneously with a reduction of NPE of loans and advances in Portugal;

  • Decrease in the cost of risk, supported by the expectation of a gradual recovery of economic activity, consubstantiating a stabilization of the business risk, as well as the reduction of the non-core portfolio. In this way, the gradual convergence of the cost of credit risk (up to 2021) is estimated to be close to those currently observed in other European countries, including in the Iberian Peninsula.

  • Control of the operating expenses, in line with the targets defined in the Group's strategic priorities;

  • Positive net results, projecting the favourable evolution of the ROE and maintaining of the CET1 ratio fully implemented at levels appropriate to the requirements and benchmarks. From 2021 onwards, it is estimated an annual growth of the RAI, which reflects a partial convergence to the estimated Cost of Equity.

Additionally, the deductions related to impairment of financial assets were projected based on the destination (sale or settlement) and the estimated date of the respective operations. The deductions related to employee benefits are projected based on their estimated payments or deduction plans, in accordance with information provided by the actuary of the pension fund.

The analyses made allow the conclusion of the recoverability of the total deferred tax assets recognised as at 30 September 2017.

The balance Subordinated debt - CoCos corresponds to hybrids subordinated debt instruments that qualify as Core Tier I Capital, issued on 29 June 2012, by Banco Comercial Português, S.A. with an initial amount of Euros 3,000,000,000 and fully subscribed by the Portuguese State. These instruments are fully reimbursable by the Bank through a five years period and only in specific circumstances, such as delinquency or lack of payment are susceptible of being converted in Bank's ordinary shares.

The referred instruments were issued under the scope of the recapitalisation program of the bank, using the Euros 12,000,000,000 line made available by the Portuguese State, under the scope of the IMF intervention program, in accordance with the Law no. 150-A/2012. Following the restructuring process agreed with DGComp, these instruments are eligible for prudential effects as Core Tier I. However, under the IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation for accounting purposes, these instruments are classified as liability according to its characteristics, namely: (i) mandatory obligation to pay capital and interests; and (ii) in case of settlement through the delivery of equity securities, the number of securities to delivery is depending on the market value at the date of conversion, in order to have the value of the bond settled.

Thus, the classification as liability results from the fact that the investor, as holder of the instrument issued, is not exposed to the company equity instruments risk, and will always receive the equivalent amount of the value invested, in cash or in ordinary shares of the Bank. The operation has an increasing interest rate beginning in 8.5% and ending at the maturity at 10% in 2017.

Throughout 2014 and following the capital increase and the assessment of the evolution of capital ratios, the Bank repaid in May the amount of Euros 400,000,000 of core tier I capital instruments (CoCos) issued by the Portuguese State, and in August 2014 repaid Euros 1,850,000,000 of common equity tier I capital instruments (CoCos), after having received the authorization from the Bank of Portugal.

Under the Restructuring Plan approved by the European Commission following the injection of State funds in June 2012, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. became bound to a compromise catalogue that includes the need to sell its holding in Bank Millennium S.A. (Poland) if outstanding Core Tier 1 hybrid capital instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State ("CoCos") exceed Euros 700,000,000 as at 31 December 2016. Thus, the Bank repaid Euros 50,000,000 of CoCos during December 2016, thus meeting once again the deadlines established under the CoCos repayment plan agreed with the European Commission.

As referred in note 46, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. has proceeded, on 9 February 2017, to the early repayment to the Portuguese state of the remaining Core Tier 1 hybrid capital instruments, in the amount of Euros 700 million. This repayment, key to the return to normalisation of BCP's activity, was previously approved by the European Central Bank, subject to the success of the rights issue completed in this date.

40. Share capital, preference shares and other equity instruments

The Bank's share capital, as at 30 September 2017, amounts to Euros 5,600,738,053.72 and is represented by 15,113,989,952 ordinary, book-entry and nominates shares, without nominal value, which is fully paid.

As referred in note 46, the Board of Directors of BCP has resolved on 9 January 2017, to increase the share capital of BCP from Euros 4,268,817,689.20 to Euros 5,600,738,053.72, through an offering to existing holders of BCP's ordinary shares pursuant to their respective pre-emption rights, and other investors who acquire subscription rights, to subscribe for 14,169,365,580 new ordinary, book entry and registered shares, without nominal value. The resulting number of BCP ordinary shares is 15,113,989,952.

In November 2016, and in accordance with the resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders of 21 April 2016 to suppress the pre-emptive right of the shareholders, the Board of Directors of BCP has approved a resolution for the increase of BCP's share capital, from Euros 4,094,235,361.88 to Euros 4,268,817,689.20, by way of a private placement of 157,437,395 new shares offered for subscription by Chiado at a subscription price of Euros 1.1089 per new share.

In October 2016, Banco Comercial Português proceeded with a reverse stock split, without decrease of the share capital, of the shares representing the Bank's share capital, by applying a regrouping ratio of 1:75, every 75 shares prior to the reverse split corresponding to 1 share thereafter, which is applicable to all the shares, in the same proportion. Thus, BCP's share capital at that date, in the amount of Euros 4,094,235,361.88, was represented by 787,186,977 shares.

The share premium amounts to Euros 16,470,667.11, corresponding to the difference between the issue price (Euros 0.0834 per share) and the issue value (Euros 0.08 per share) determined under the scope of the Exchange Offer occurred in June 2015.

As at 30 September 2017, the balance preference shares amounts to Euros 59,910,000.

The preference shares includes two issues by BCP Finance Company Ltd which considering the rules established in IAS 32 and in accordance with the accounting policy presented in note 1 h), were considered as equity instruments. The issues are analysed as follows:

  • 439,684 preference shares with par value of Euros 100 each, perpetual without voting rights in the total amount of Euros 43,968,400, issued on 9 June 2004. - 15,942 preference shares with par value of Euros 1,000 each, perpetual without voting rights, in the total amount of Euros 15,942,000, issued on 13 October 2005.

The balance Other equity instruments, in the amount of Euros 2,922,000 includes 2,922 perpetual subordinated debt securities with conditional coupons, issued on 29 June 2009, with a nominal value of Euros 1,000 each.

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. issued on 29 June 2012 hybrids subordinated debt instruments qualified as Core Tier I Capital, (CoCos) fully subscribed by the Portuguese State. These instruments are fully reimbursable by the Bank through a five years period and only in specific circumstances, such as delinquency or lack of payment are susceptible of being converted in Bank's ordinary shares.

These instruments are eligible for prudential effects as Core Tier I. However, under the IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation for accounting purposes, these instruments are classified as liability (note 38) according to its characteristics, namely: (i) mandatory obligation to pay capital and interests; and (ii) in case of settlement through the delivery of equity securities, the number of securities to delivery is depending on the market value at the date of conversion, in order to have the value of the bond settled. Thus, the classification as liability results from the fact that the investor, as holder of the instrument issued, is not exposed to the company equity instruments risk, and will always receive the equivalent amount of the value invested, in cash or in ordinary shares of the Bank.

Under the Restructuring Plan approved by the European Commission following the injection of State funds in June 2012, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. (BCP) became bound to a compromise catalogue that includes the need to sell its holding in Bank Millennium S.A. (Poland) if outstanding Core Tier 1 hybrid capital instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State ("CoCos") exceed Euros 700 million as at 31 December 2016. Thus, the Bank reimbursed Euros 50,000,000 of Core Tier 1 hybrid instruments (CoCos) during the month of December 2016, thus meeting once again the deadlines established under the CoCos repayment plan agreed with the European Commission.

As referred in note 46, on 9 February 2017, BCP reimbursed the remaining CoCos to the Portuguese State in the amount of Euros 700 million. This repayment, which marks the return to the normalization of BCP's activity, had previously been approved by the European Central Bank, subject to the success of the capital increase that BCP concluded on that date.

Pursuant to the conditions of the issue of Core Tier I Capital Instruments underwritten by the State, under Law no. 63-A/2008 and Implementing Order no. 150- A/2012 (CoCos), the Bank could not distribute dividends until the issue was fully reimbursed.

41. Legal and statutory reserves

Under Portuguese legislation, the Bank is required to set-up annually a legal reserve equal to a minimum of 10 percent of annual profits until the reserve equals the share capital. Such reserve is not normally distributable. In accordance with the proposal for the application of results for the year 2016 approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 10 May 2017, the Bank increased its legal reserve in the amount of Euros 6,931,000. As at 30 September 2017, the amount of Legal reserves amounts to Euros 222,806,000 (31 December 2016: Euros 215,875,000).

In accordance with current legislation, the Group companies must set-up annually a reserve with a minimum percentage between 5 and 20 percent of their net annual profits depending on the nature of their economic activity.

The amount of Statutory reserves amounts to Euros 30,000,000 (31 December 2016: Euros 30,000,000) and corresponds, as at 30 September 2017, to a reserve to steady dividends that, according to the bank's by-laws, can be distributed.

The amounts of Guarantees granted and Commitments to third parties are analysed as follows: The guarantees granted by the Group may be related to loans transactions, where the Group grants a guarantee in connection with a loan granted to a client by a third entity. According to its specific characteristics it is expected that some of these guarantees expire without being executed and therefore these transactions do not necessarily represent a cash-outflow. The estimated liabilities are recorded under provisions (note 37).

Stand-by letters and open documentary credits aim to ensure the payment to third parties from commercial deals with foreign entities and therefore financing the shipment of the goods. Therefore the credit risk of these transactions is limited since they are collateralised by the shipped goods and are generally short term operations.

Irrevocable commitments are non-used parts of credit facilities granted to corporate or retail customers. Many of these transactions have a fixed term and a variable interest rate and therefore the credit and interest rate risk is limited.

The financial instruments accounted as Guarantees and other commitments are subject to the same approval and control procedures applied to the credit portfolio, namely regarding the analysis of objective evidence of impairment, as described in the accounting policy in note 1 c). The maximum credit exposure is represented by the nominal value that could be lost related to guarantees and commitments undertaken by the Group in the event of default by the respective counterparties, without considering potential recoveries or collaterals.

46. Relevant events occurred during the first semester of 2017

New issue of covered mortgage bonds

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. fixed on 23 May 2017, the terms and conditions for a new issue of covered mortgage bonds, under its Covered Bond Program, with subscription date on 31 May. The issue, in the amount of Euros 1,000 million has a term of 5 years, an issuance price of 99.386% and an annual interest rate of 0.75%, reflecting a spread of 65 basis points over 5-year swaps.

The operation was placed successfully with a very diverse group of European institutional investors. Demand for the issue was more than 180% the amount on offer, and the speed with which the placement was completed demonstrate unequivocally the confidence of the market in the Bank and its clear ability to access this important source of financing.

Share capital increase Of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. from Euros 4,268,817,689.20 to Euros 5,600,738,053.72

The Board of Directors of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. ("BCP") has resolved on 9 January 2017, with the favourable prior opinion of the Audit Committee, to increase the share capital of BCP, from Euros 4,268,817,689.20 to Euros 5,600,738,053.72, through an offering to existing holders of BCP's ordinary shares pursuant to their respective pre-emption rights, and other investors who acquire subscription rights, to subscribe for 14,169,365,580 new ordinary, book entry and registered shares, without nominal value. The resulting number of ordinary shares will be 15,113,989,952.

The subscription price was set at Euros 0.0940 per share. Each holder of BCP's ordinary shares will receive one subscription right for each ordinary share it owns.

Further to the subscription by Chiado (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. ("Chiado"), a member of the Fosun group, of the reserved capital increase completed on 18 November 2016, through which Chiado holds a shareholding of approximately 16.67% of the total share capital of BCP, Chiado presented an irrevocable anticipated subscription order of an amount of shares that, if satisfied in full, will increase its holding in BCP's share capital to 30% after the Rights Offering, to be achieved through the exercise of the subscription rights corresponding to the number of shares presently held by it and, in addition, an oversubscription order and/or the potential exercise of further subscription rights that may be acquired by Chiado. This order may not be withdrawn except under certain circumstances where material adverse changes have occurred, as long as the same circumstances have led to the termination of the Underwriting Agreement referred to below by the Joint Global Coordinators.

Under the terms of the subscription order, Chiado has committed to (i) a lock-up period related to the sale of shares subscribed by it through its proportional subscription rights corresponding to the number of shares acquired as part of the Reserved Capital Increase, for a period of three years starting from 18 November 2016 and (ii) taking all reasonably appropriate actions to avoid the sale or transfer, within 30 days of closing of the Offering, of any of the shares obtained by Chiado in the Rights Offering. For the avoidance of doubt, this limitation does not prohibit Chiado from pledging the shares subscribed by it.

The Platform is to pursue the following goals:

  • Recovering credit and speeding-up the reduction of NPE portfolios held by banks;

  • Supporting the recovery of several sectors of the Portuguese economy, through credit and debtors' restructuring, and increasing asset viability;

  • Fostering companies' re-composition and consolidation, when necessary to ensure debtors viability and soundness;

  • Facilitating and fostering the access of companies, either already restructured or under restructuring, to public or private sources of new capital or of funding;

  • Accelerating and facilitating debtors' negotiations with banks, aimed at corporate restructuring;

  • Lobbying the Government and the Bank of Portugal for changes to the legal, judicial and fiscal framework, as to render corporate restructuring processes swifter and more efficient.

Changes in the CLA

At the end of December 2016, a revision of the Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) was reached between the BCP Group and the Workers' Trade Unions, "Federação dos Sindicatos Independentes da Banca" and" Federação Nacional do Sector Financeiro", resulted in a profit of Euros 191,507,000 (of which Euros 19,245,000 do not correspond to benefits post-employment). Regarding the "Sindicato dos Bancários do Norte" ("SBN"), which was also involved in the negotiations of the new CLA, formalize the acceptance of the amendments to the CLA in April 2017 and, as such, the Bank only recognise the impact of changes from CLA to employees associates of SBN in 2017. The profit arising from the changes amounts to Euros 44,924,000 (of which Euro 4,927,000 do not correspond to benefits post-employment).

The new CLAs have already been published by the Ministry of Labor in Bulletin of Labor and Employment.

The most relevant changes that occurred in the CLA and can be described as follows:

  • Change in the retirement age (presumed disability) from 65 years to 66 years and 2 months in 2016. This age is not fixed and increases at the beginning of each calendar year one month. So in 2017 the retirement age is 66 years and 3 months. It was agreed that the retirement age in each year, fixed by the application of the above mentioned rule, cannot exceed in any case the normal retirement age in force in the General Social Security Regime. For the actuarial calculation, a progressive increase in retirement age was considered up to 67 years and 2 months.

  • It was introduced a change into the formula for determining the employer's contribution to the SAMS, which is no longer a percentage of the Pensions (Euros 88 per beneficiary and Euros 37.93 in the case of pensioners). This amount will be updated by the salary table update rate. This change has no impact on participants and beneficiaries, both in terms of their contributions and in their benefits.

  • A new benefit and retirement was introduced called End of Career Premium. At the retirement date the participant is entitled to a capital equal to 1.5 times the amount of the monthly remuneration earned at the retirement date. This benefit replaces the Seniority premium that was awarded during active life. This benefit, to be attributed at the retirement date or in the event of death, is considered to be a post-employment benefit by which it becomes part of retirement liabilities. This benefit is not included in the pension fund agreement and as such was considered as Extra-Fund.

Board of Directors Plan

As the Board of Directors Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common in the insurance market the acquisition of perpetual annuities including the increase in pensions, the Bank determined, the liability to be recognised on the financial statements taking into consideration current actuarial assumptions.

In accordance with the remuneration policy of the Board Members, the Group has the responsibility of supporting the cost with the retirement pensions of former Group's Executive Board Members, as well as the Complementary Plan for these members in accordance with the applicable rules funded through the Pension Fund, Extra-fund and perpetual annuities.

In order to cover liabilities with pensions to former members of the Executive Board of Directors, under the Bank's Board of Directors Retirement Regulation the Bank contracted with Ocidental Vida to purchase immediate life annuity insurance policies.

To cover the update of contracted responsibilities through perpetual annuities policies, based on the actuarial calculations, the Group recognised a provision of Euros 3,837,000 (31 December 2016: Euros 3,837,000).

The changes occurred in responsibilities with retirement pensions payable to former members of the Executive Board of Directors, included in the balance Other liabilities (note 39), are analysed as follows:

Considering the market indicators, particularly the inflation rate estimates and the long term interest rate for Euro Zone, as well as the demographic characteristics of its employees, the Group considered the following actuarial assumptions for calculating the liabilities with pension obligations:

Sep 2017 Dec 2016
Salary growth rate 0,25% until 2019
0,75% after 2019
0,25% until 2019
0,75% after 2019
Pensions growth rate 0% until 2019

months
66 years and 2
months
Total salary growth rate for Social Security purposes 1.75% 1.75%
Revaluation rate of wages / pensions of Social Security 1% 1%

a) The retirement age is variable. In 2017 it is 66 years and 3 months and will increase by 1 month for each calendar year. This age cannot be higher than the normal retirement age in force in the General Social Security System (RGSS). The normal retirement age in RGSS is variable and depends on the evolution of the average life expectancy at 65 years. For the purposes of the actuarial calculation, it was assumed that the increase in life expectancy in future years will be one year in every 10 years. However, as a prudential factor the maximum age was 67 years and 2 months

The assumptions used on the calculation of the actuarial value of the liabilities are in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19. No disability decreases are considered in the calculation of the liabilities.

As defined by IAS 19, the discount rate used to update the responsibilities of the Bank's pension fund was determined on 31 December 2016, based on an analysis performed over the market yield regarding a bond issues universe – with high quality (low risk), different maturities (appropriate to the period of liquidation of the fund's liabilities) and denominated in Euros - related to a diverse and representative range of issuers.

As at 30 September 2017 and 31 December 2016, the Bank used a discount rate of 2.1% to measure its liability for defined benefit pension plans of its employees and managers.

As at 31 December 2016 the Group taking into consideration the positive deviations observed in the last financial year and the current trend of wages evolution and the economic situation at this time, determined a growth rate of wages progressive of 0.25% by 2019 and 0.75% from 2019 and a growth rate of pensions from 0% by 2019 and 0.50% from 2019. As at 30 September 2017, no changes were made to these actuarial assumptions.

Net actuarial gains amounts to Euros 74,664,000 (31 December 2016: actuarial losses amounts to Euros 302,644,000) and are related to the difference between the actuarial assumptions used for the estimation of the liabilities and the values actually verified and the change in actuarial assumptions, are analysed as follows:

The change in the wage growth assumption includes the effect of changing the growth rate of the pensionable wage and the change in the rate of growth of the total salary used for the purposes of calculating social security responsibility.

As at 30 September 2017, the actuarial losses not resulting from changes in assumptions amount to Euros 20,212,000 (31 December 2016: Euros 20,138,000).

Defined contribution plan

According to what is described in accounting policy 1 w ii), in the scope of the Defined Contribution Plan provided for the BCP Pension Fund of the BCP Group, no contributions were made in 2016, for employees who have been admitted until 1 July 2009, because the following requirements have not been met: (i) Bank's ROE equals or exceeds the rate of government bonds of 10 years plus 5 percentage points, and (ii) distributable profits or reserves exist in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.

For employees who have been admitted after 1 July 2009, are made monthly contributions equal to 1.5% of the monthly remuneration received by employees in the current month, either by themselves or by the Group and employees. This contribution has a mandatory character and is defined in the Collective Labor Agreement of the BCP Group, and does not have a performance criterion. The Group accounted as staff costs the amount of Euros 43,000 (31 December 2016: Euros 48,000) related to this contribution.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

48. Consolidate Balance Sheet and Income Statement by operational segments

The segments presented are in accordance with IFRS 8. In accordance with the Group's management model, the segments presented correspond to the segments used for Executive Committee's management purposes. The Group offers a wide range of banking activities and financial services in Portugal and abroad, with a special focus on Commercial Banking, Companies Banking and Private Banking.

Following the commitment agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp), an additional segment named non-Core Business Portfolio was considered, respecting the criteria agreed.

Segments description

A. Geographical Segments

The Group operates in the Portuguese market, and also in a few affinity markets of recognised growth potential. Considering this, the geographical segments are structured in Portugal and Foreign Business (Poland, Mozambique and Other). Portugal segment reflects, essentially, the activities carried out by Banco Comercial Português in Portugal, ActivoBank and Banco de Investimento Imobiliário.

Portugal activity includes: i) Retail Banking; ii) Companies, Corporate & Investment Banking; iii) Private Banking; iv) Non-core business portfolio; v) Other.

Retail Banking includes the following business areas:

  • Retail network where the strategic approach is to target "Mass Market" customers, who appreciate a value proposition based on innovation and speed, as well as Prestige and Small Business customers, whose specific characteristics, financial assets or income imply a value proposition based on innovation and personalisation, requiring a dedicated Account Manager;

  • Retail Recovery Division that accompanies and manages the responsibilities of Customers or economic groups in effective default, as well as customers with bankruptcy requirement or other similar mechanisms, looking through the conclusion of agreements or payment restructuring processes that minimizes the economic loss to the Bank; and

  • ActivoBank, a bank focused on clients who are young, intensive users of new communication technologies and who prefer a banking relationship based on simplicity, offering modern products and services.

Companies, Corporate and Investment Banking segment includes:

  • Companies network that covers the financial needs of companies with an annual turnover between Euros 2,500,000 and Euros 50,000,000, and focuses on innovation, offering a wide range of traditional banking products complemented by specialised financing;

  • Corporate and Large Corporates networks in Portugal, targeting corporate and institutional customers with an annual turnover in excess of Euros 50,000,000, providing a complete range of value-added products and services;

  • Specialised Monitoring Division which carries out the monitorisation of business groups that have high and complex credit exposures or that show relevant signs of impairment;

  • Investment Banking unit, that ensures the offer of products and specific services, in particular financial advice, capital market transactions and analysis and financing structuring in the medium to long term, in particular with regard to Project and Structured Finance;

  • Treasury and Markets International Division, in particular the area of coordination of business with banks and financial institutions, boosting international business with the commercial networks of the Bank and institutional custody services for securities;

  • Specialised Recovery Division which ensures efficient tracking of customers with predictable or effective high risk of credit, from Companies, Corporate, Large Corporate and retail networks (exposure exceeding Euros 1,000,000);

  • Real Estate Business Division, which ensures integrated and specialized management of real estate business of the Group; and

  • Interfundos. with the activity of management of real estate investment funds.

The Private Banking segment, for purposes of geographical segments, comprises the Private Banking network in Portugal. For purposes of business segments also includes Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in Cayman Islands that are considered Foreign Business on geographical segmentation.

Following the process for obtaining authorisation from the European Commission (EC) to the State aid, business portfolios were identified that the Bank should gradually disinvest/demobilise, ceasing grant new credit. This demobilisation is subject to a framework which dominant criterion is the capital impact optimisation, in particular through the minimisation of expected losses. In this context, the Bank proceeded with the segregation of these portfolios, highlighting them in a separate segment defined as Non Core Business Portfolio (PNNC).

PNNC includes the business with clients for which credit has been granted for securities-backed lending, loans collateralised with other assets for those which the debt ratio over asset value is not less than 90%, historical subsidised mortgage loans, construction subcontractors focused almost exclusively on the Portuguese market, football clubs and Real Estate development.

The separate disclosure for those types of loans resulted, exclusively, from the need to identify and monitoring the segments described in the previous paragraph, in the scope of the authorisation process abovementioned. Thus, the PNNC portfolio has not been aggregated based on risk classes or any other performance criteria.

It should be noted that, in 30 September 2017, 70% of this portfolio benefited from asset backed loans, including 70% with real estate collateral and 4% with other assets guarantee.

All other businesses not previously discriminated are allocated to the segment Other (Portugal) and include the centralized management of financial investments, corporate activities and operations not integrated in the remaining business segments and other values not allocated to segments.

Foreign Business includes:

  • Poland, where the Group is represented by Bank Millennium, a universal bank offering a wide range of financial products and services to individuals and companies nationwide;

  • Mozambique, where the Group is represented by BIM – Banco Internacional de Moçambique, a universal bank targeting companies and individual customers; and

  • Other, which includes other countries activity such as Switzerland where the Group is represented by Banque Privée BCP, a Private Banking platform under Swiss law and Cayman Islands by Millennium bcp Bank & Trust, a bank designed for international services in the area of Private Banking to customers with high financial assets (Affluent segment); The segment Other also includes the contribution of the associate in Angola.

At the consolidated balance, the assets and liabilities of Banco Millennium Angola, S.A. continued to be consolidated by the full consolidation method till April 2016. After the completion of the merger, in May 2016, the assets and liabilities of Banco Millennium in Angola stopped being considered in the consolidated balance sheet and the investment of 22.5 % in Banco Millennium Atlântico, the new merged entity, started being accounted using the equity method and its contribution to the Group's results have been recognized in the consolidated accounts from May 2016 onwards.

Business segments activity

The figures reported for each business segment result from aggregating the subsidiaries and business units integrated in each segment, including the impact from capital allocation and the balancing process of each entity, both at the balance sheet and income statement levels, based on average figures. Balance sheet headings for each subsidiary and business unit are re-calculated, given the replacement of their original own funds by the outcome of the capital allocation process, according to regulatory solvency criteria.

Considering that the capital allocation process complies with regulatory solvency criteria currently in place, the weighted risk, as well as the capital allocated to segments, is based on Basel III methodology, in accordance with the CRD IV/CRR, with reference to 30 September 2017 and 2016. The capital allocation for each segment on those dates, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment, reflecting the application of Basel III methodologies. Each operation is balanced through internal transfers of funds, with no impact on consolidated accounts.

Operating costs determined for each business area rely on one hand on the amounts accounted directly in the respective cost centres, and on the other hand, on the amounts resulting from internal cost allocation processes. As an example, in the first set of costs are included costs related to phone communication, travelling accommodation and representation expenses and to advisory services and in the second set are included costs related to correspondence, water and electricity and to rents related to spaces occupied by organic units, among others. The allocation of this last set of costs is based on the application of previously defined criteria, related to the level of activity of each business area, like the number of current accounts, the number of customers or employees, the business volume and the space occupied.

The following information has been prepared based on the individual and consolidated financial statements of the Group prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU), and with the Organization of the Group's business areas in force on 30 September 2017. Information relating to prior periods is restated whenever it occur changes in the internal organization of the entity so susceptible to change the composition of the reportable segments (business and geographical).

The information in the financial statements of reportable segments is reconciled, at the level of the total revenue of those same segments, with the revenue from the demonstration of the consolidated financial position of the reportable entity for each date on which is lodged a statement of financial position.

49. Contingent liabilities and other commitments

In accordance with accounting policy 1 (z), the main contingent liabilities and other commitments under IAS 37 are as follows:

  1. In 2012, the Portuguese Competition Authority initiated an administrative proceeding relating to competition restrictive practices. During the investigations, on 6 March 2013, several searches were conducted to the Bank's premises, as well as to at least 8 other credit institutions, where documentation was seized in order to check for signs of privileged commercial information in the Portuguese banking market.

The Portuguese Competition Authority has declared that the administrative proceedings are to stay under judicial secrecy, once it considered that the interests dealt with in the investigation, as well as the parties' rights, would not be compatible with the publicity of the process.

The Bank received on 2 June 2015, the notice of an illicit act issued by the Competition Authority relating to the administrative offence proceedings nr. 2012/9, and was charged of taking part in the exchange of information amongst Banks of the system relating to pricing already approved and mortgage and consumption loan operations already approved or granted. Concerning the charges brought forward, the Bank will present its reply to the notice and afterwards, if need be, will present its legal objections. We must point out that a notice of an illicit act does not imply the making of a final decision concerning the proceedings. If the Competition Authority were to issue a conviction, the Bank could be sentenced to pay a fine within the limits set forth by the law, which foresees a maximum amount equivalent to 10% of the consolidated annual turnover registered in the year prior to the making of the decision. Notwithstanding, such a decision may be contested in court. The proceedings were suspended by the Competition Authority until the legal decision of the various pending interlocutory appeals.

In October 2016, the Lisbon Court of Appeal overruled the decision of the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court which had decided for the proceedings to be suspended.The Bank appealed to the Constitutional Court on this sentence. The Constitutional Court denied the appeal and the decision became final.

On 4 July 2017, the Competition Authority notified the Bank on the decision regarding the withdrawal of the suspension concerning the access to documents deemed as confidential and of the extension of the term for the making of a decision on the illicit act for more 40 days. The Bank has already present its reply.

  1. On 20 October 2014, Bank Millennium Poland was notified of a class action against the Bank that aims to assess the "illicit" gains of the Bank taking into account certain clauses in mortgage loan agreements indexed in CHF. On 28 May 2015, the Regional Court of Warsaw dismissed the proceedings. On 3 July 2015 the Claimant filed an appeal against this decision, and the Court of Appeal upheld the appeal by refusing the dismissal of the claim. On 31 March 2016 the Regional Court in Warsaw issued a decision dismissing Bank´s motion for a security deposit to secure litigation costs. Bank Millennium filed an appeal on this decision on 6 April 2016, which was denied by the Court of Appeal on 13 July 2016.

On 17 February 2016 the Claimant filed a submission with the Regional Court in Warsaw, extending the claim again by a further 1,041 group members. The Bank has not yet been notified of this submission. On 2 August 2016 the Regional Court in Warsaw issued a decision ordering the publication of an announcement in the press concerning the commencement of group action proceedings.

Following the Bank's motion to repeal this decision, the Court suspended its execution, but, on 8 August 2016, it issued another decision for the case to be heard in group action proceedings. On 31 August 2016 the Bank appealed against this decision. On 16 December 2016 the Court of Appeal in Warsaw overruled decision of the Regional Court for the case to be heard in group action proceedings and referred the request for the case to be heard in group action proceedings to the Regional Court for re-examination. At a hearing on 15 March 2017 the Regional Court issued decision for the case to be heard in group action proceedings. On 18 April 2017 the Bank filed an appeal against the above decision; currently the date of reviewing the case by the the Court of Appeal in Warsaw has not been scheduled yet. On 30 June 2017 the Claimant filed a submission with the Regional Court in Warsaw, extending the claim again by further 676 group members. The new value of the subject matter of the dispute was indicated as approx. PLN 132.7 million (Euros 30,8 million, including the values provided in the statement of claim and the previous submissions concerning extension of the claim dated 4 March 2015 and 17 February 2016). On 28 September 2017 the Court of Appeal in Warsaw issued a decision dismissing the Bank's appeal against the decision the Regional Court in Warsaw dated 15 March 2017; thus, the decision for the case to be heard in group action proceedings became final.

On 3 December 2015 the Bank received notice of a class action lawsuit lodged by a group of 454 borrowers represented by the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman in Olsztyn pertaining to low down payment insurance used with CHF - indexed mortgage loans. The plaintiffs demand the payment of the amount of PLN 3.5 million (Euros 0.83 millions) claiming for some clauses of the agreements pertaining to low down payment insurance to be declared null and void. On 3 March 2016 the Bank filed the response to the lawsuit demanding its dismissal. The first court hearing took place on 13 September 2016 and the court issued the decision on the admissibility of the class action in this case. On 16 February 2017, the Court of Appeal denied the appeal brought forward by the Bank and the previous sentence became definitive. On 30 March 2017 the Regional Court in Warsaw dismissed Bank's motion to oblige the plaintiff to provide security for costs of proceedings. On 10 April 2017 Bank filed a complaint to the Court of Appeal in Warsaw against the decision dismissing the motion to provide security. The decision is final.

  1. On 28 December 2015 and 5 April 2016, Bank Millennium was notified of two cases filed by clients (PCZ SA and Europejska Fundacja Współpracy Polsko - Belgijskiej / European Foundation for Polish-Belgian Cooperation (EFWP-B)), in the amount of PLN 150 million (Euros 34.8 million) and of PLN 521.9 million (Euros 121.2 million) respectively. The authors allege in their petitions that Bank Millennium misrepresented certain contractual clauses, which determined the maturity of the credits, causing losses to the Authors. A decision of the Warsaw Regional Court is awaited. As regards the case brought by PCZ, the Wrocław Regional Court (first instance) on 7 April 2017 issued a verdict favorable to Bank Millennium by rejecting the case.

  2. On 21 March 2017, a lawsuit was filed against the subsidiary Bank Millennium by a client in which the amount of PLN 200 million (Euros 46.5 million) was claimed for the payment of damages and compensation following the blocking of accounts in the context of insolvency proceedings. The process is currently at an early stage of assessment. In the Bank's opinion, the probability of the customer winning the process is marginal.

  3. On 15 January 2016 a presidential proposal of legislation aimed at supporting FX mortgage borrowers was put forward, however without an assessment of impact for the banking sector. According to estimations later announced by Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the overall direct costs for the polish banking sector could reach PLN 66,900 million (Euros 15,500 million).

On 2 August 2016 another presidential proposal of legislation aimed at supporting FX mortgage borrowers was put forward, this time mainly focusing on repayment part of fx spreads charged on the disbursement of the credit and in foreign exchange transactions related to the payment of mortgage loans in foreign currency. On 10 August the Financial Stability Committee of Poland (CEFP) (composed of the governor of the National Bank of Poland, the Minister of Finance responsible for the CEFP and the person responsible for the Banking Guarantee Fund), following the initiative of the National Bank of Poland, set up a working group to analyse this issue, which included representatives of the institutions represented in the CEFP.

On 13 January 2017, the CEFP issued Resolution No 14/2017, which included the recommendation of a set of measures to create a framework of encouraging voluntary agreements between banks and customers. The CEFP considers that after the analysis and evaluation of risk related to weight significant part of this loan portfolio, the restructuring of this portfolio should begin. However, this restructuring must be gradually, through negotiation between banks and customers, should be voluntary and should ensure the stability of the financial system.

On 1 August 2017, the Polish president introduced a bill to amend the Law to support borrowers in difficult financial situations who obtained mortgage loans. The proposed law is designed to facilitate the provision of assistance to people who, for objective reasons, is in a difficult financial situation, and introduces a new instrument which encourages and supports the voluntary restructuring of mortgage loans in foreign currency and determines the mechanisms for their financing. This bill was initially positively evaluated by the Polish Financial Supervisory Authority and the National Bank of Poland.

In these circumstances, it is not possible at this time to assess the actual entry into force and content of this (these) bill (s) of law, as well as the impact of the bill (s), but the implementation of some or all of the measures in it, may have a significant impact on the results and capital ratios of the banks, including the subsidiary Bank Millennium.

As at 30 September 2017, the requirements of International Accounting Standard 37 - Provisions, Liabilities and Contingent Assets are not met to establish any provision as it cannot be made a reliable estimate of the possible obligation, and so this situation is being treated as a contingent liability.

  1. On 1 October 2015, a set of entities connected to a group with past due loans to the Bank worth Euros 170 million, resulting from a loan agreement signed in 2009 - debts already fully provisioned in the Bank's accounts -, filed against the Bank, after receiving the Bank's notice for mandatory payment, a lawsuit aiming to:

a) deny the obligation to settle those debts to the Bank, arguing that the respective agreement is null, but without the corresponding obligation of returning the amounts already paid;

b) have the Bank sentenced to pay amounts of around Euros 90 million and Euros 34 million for other debts owed by those entities to other banking institutions, as well as other amounts, totalling around Euros 26 million, supposedly already paid by the debtors within the scope of the loan agreements; c) have the Bank be given ownership of the object of the pledges associated to the aforementioned loan agreements, around 340 million shares of the Bank, allegedly purchased on behalf of the Bank, at its request and in its interest.

The Bank presented its defence and counterclaim, demanding the payment of the debt. The Plaintiffs submitted their defence against the counterclaim and the Bank answered in July 2016. The proceedings are waiting for the schedule of a prior hearing or the issue of a conclusive opening order.

7. Resolution Fund

Resolution measure of Banco Espírito Santo, S.A.

On 3 August 2014, with the purpose of safeguarding the stability of the financial system, the Bank of Portugal applied a resolution measure to Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (BES) in accordance with the provisos of article 145 C (1.b) of the Legal Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (RGICSF), namely by the partial transfer of assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet items and assets under management into a transition bank, Novo Banco, S.A. (Novo Banco), incorporated on that date by a decision issued by the Bank of Portugal. Within the scope of this process, the Resolution Fund made a capital contribution to Novo Banco amounting to Euros 4,900 million, becoming the sole shareholder.

Within this context, the Resolution Fund asked for loans amounting to Euros 4,600 million, Euros 3,900 million of which were granted by the State and Euros 700 million by a group of credit institutions, including the Bank.

As announced on 29 December 2015, the Bank of Portugal transferred to the Resolution Fund the liabilities emerging from the "eventual negative effects of future decisions regarding the resolution process and which may result in liabilities or contingencies".

On 7 July 2016, the Resolution Fund declared that it would analyse and evaluate the diligences to make, following the publication of the report on the result of the independent evaluation, made to estimate the level of credit recovery for each category of creditors under a hypothetical scenario of a normal insolvency process of BES on 3 August 2014.

In accordance with the applicable law, when the liquidation process is over, if it is ascertained that the creditors, whose credits were not transferred to Novo Banco, would take on a loss higher than the one they would hypothetically take if BES had gone into liquidation right before the application of the resolution measure, such creditors shall be entitled to receive the difference from the Resolution Fund.

Moreover, following this process, a significant number of lawsuits against the Resolution Fund was filed and is underway.

On 20 February 2017, the Bank of Portugal communicated that it decided to select the potential investor Lone Star to be part of an exclusive definitive negotiation stage for the conditions under which the sale of the investment that the Resolution Fund held in Novo Banco, S.A. could be carried out.

On 31 March 2017, the Bank of Portugal made a communication about the sale of Novo Banco, where it states the following:

"The Bank of Portugal selected today the company Lone Star to conclude the sale of Novo Banco. The sale agreement documentation has already been signed by the Resolution Fund. In accordance with the sale agreement, Lone Star will make capital injections into Novo Banco totalling Euros 1,000 million, of which Euros 750 million at the moment the operation is completed and Euros 250 million during the following 3 years. Via this capital injection, the company Lone Star will become the owner of 75% of the share capital of Novo Banco and the Resolution Fund will own the remaining 25%.

The conditions agreed also include the existence of a contingent capitalization mechanism up to a maximum of Euros 3,890 million, according to which the Resolution Fund, as shareholder, commits to carry out capital injections if certain cumulative conditions materialize, related with: i) the performance of a defined group of assets of Novo Banco and ii) the performance shown by the bank's capitalization levels.

The eventual capital injections to be made in accordance with this contingent mechanism benefit from a capital buffer resulting from the capital injection to be made, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the operation, and are subject to an absolute maximum threshold.

The conditions agreed also foresee mechanisms to safeguard the interests of the Resolution Fund, to line up the incentives and supervision, despite the limitations resulting from the application of State aid rules.

On 7 July 2017, the European Commission declared its non-opposition to this sale operation.

On 2 October 2017, by Resolution of the Council of Ministers (Resolution n. 151-A / 2017), the Portuguese State, as the ultimate guarantor of financial stability, is authorized to enter into a framework agreement with the Resolution Fund, with a view to making financial resources available to the Resolution Fund, if and when it is considered necessary, in order to satisfy any contractual obligations that may arise from the sale of the 75% of share capital of Novo Banco.

On 18 October 2017, according to a press release of Banco de Portugal, and following the resolution of the Council of Ministers n.° 151-A/2017, on 2 October 2017, Banco de Portugal and the Resolution Fund concluded the sale of Novo Banco to Lone Star, with an injection by the new shareholder of Euros 750 million, which will be followed by a further injection of Euros 250 million to be delivered by the end of 2017.

As of this date, Novo Banco is held by Lone Star and the Resolution Fund, which hold 75% and 25% of the share capital respectively.

Resolution measure of Banif – Banco Internacional do Funchal, S.A.

On 19 December 2015, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal resolved to announce that Banif was "at risk of insolvency or insolvent" and to open the process for the urgent resolution of the institution through the partial or total sale of its activity, which was completed on 20 December 2015 through the sale to Banco Santander Totta S.A. (BST) of the rights and obligations of Banif, formed by the assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet items and assets under management.

The largest portion of the assets that were not sold, were transferred into an asset management vehicle denominated Oitante, S.A. (Oitante) specifically created for that purpose, of which the Resolution Fund is the sole shareholder. For that purpose, Oitante issued bonds representing debt amounting to Euros 746 million. The Resolution Fund provided a guarantee and the Portuguese State a counter-guarantee, for which the Oitante has already made a partial early repayment in the amount of Euros 90 million.

The operation involved state aid, Euros 489 million of which were provided by the Resolution Fund. The Euros 489 million taken by the Resolution Fund were funded through a loan granted by the State.

In a statement of 21 July 2016, the Resolution Fund announced it had proceeded to the early partial repayment, amounting to Euros 136 million, of the loan obtained from the State in December 2015 to finance the resolution measures applied to Banif. This amount corresponds to the income of the contribution collected, until 31 December 2015, from the institutions covered by the Regulation of the Single Resolution Mechanism that was not transferred to the Single Resolution Fund. This amount will be paid to the Single Resolution Fund by credit institutions that are covered by this scheme over a period of 8 years, starting in 2016.

General aspects

Pursuant to the resolution measures applied to BES and Banif, on 31 December 2016 the Resolution Fund held the entire share capital of Novo Banco and of Oitante, position which is believed unchanged as of 30 September 2017 (however amended with the above mentioned sale to Lone Star).

Within the scope of these measures, the Resolution Fund asked for loans and took on other responsibilities and contingent liabilities, including:

  • effects of the application of the principle that no creditor of the credit institution under resolution may take on a loss greater than the one it would take if that institution did not go into liquidation.

  • negative effects of the resolution process that result in additional liabilities or contingencies for Novo Banco, S.A. and that must be neutralized by the Resolution Fund.

  • legal proceedings filed against the Resolution Fund.

  • guarantee granted to the bonds issued by Oitante S.A. totalling Euros 746 million, of which Oitante, S.A. reimbursed Euros 90 million early. This guarantee is counter-guaranteed by the Portuguese State.

To reimburse the loans obtained and to face other liabilities that it may take on, the Resolution Fund has only the revenues from the initial and regular contributions from the participating institutions (including the Bank) and from the contribution over the banking sector by Law 55-A/2010. It also provides for the possibility of the member of the Government in charge of finances determining, issuing an ordinance, that the participating institutions should make special contributions, in the situations foreseen in the applicable legislation, namely in case of the Resolution Fund not having own resources for fulfilling its obligations.

Pursuant to Decree-Law no. 24/2013 of 19 February, which establishes the method for determining the initial, periodic and special contributions to the Resolution Fund, provided for in the RGICSF, the Bank has been proceeding, since 2013, to the mandatory contributions, as provided for in the decree-law.

On 3 November 2015, the Bank of Portugal issued a Circular Letter under which it is clarified that the periodic contribution to the RF should be recognised as an expense at the time of the occurrence of the event which creates the obligation to pay the contribution, i.e. on the last day of April of each year, as stipulated in Article 9 of the referred Decree-Law, thus the Bank is recognising as an expense the contribution to the RF in the year in which it becomes due.

The RF issued, on 15 November 2015, a public statement declaring: "...it is further clarified that it is not expected that the Resolution Fund will propose the setting up of a special contribution to finance the resolution measure applied to Banco Espírito Santo, S.A., ('BES'). Therefore, the eventual collection of a special contribution appears to be unlikely."

The regime established in Decree-Law no. 24/2013 establishes that the Bank of Portugal fixes, by instruction, the rate to be applied each year on the basis of objective incidence of periodic contributions. The Instruction No. 21/2016 of the Bank of Portugal, published on 26 December established the base rate to be effective in 2017 for the determination of periodic contributions to the FR by 0.0291%.

Thus, during the first nine months of 2017, the Group made periodic contributions to the Resolution Fund in the amount of Euros 8,490,000. The amount related to the contribution on the banking sector for the first nine months of 2017 was Euros 31,037,000. These contributions were recognised as cost in the months of April and June, in accordance with IFRIC No. 21 – Levies.

In 2015, following the establishment of the Single Resolution Fund ('SRF'), the Group had to make an initial contribution in the amount of Euros 31,364,000. In accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement on the transfer and mutualisation of contributions to the SRF, this amount was not transferred to the SRF but was used instead to partially cover for the disbursements made by the RF in respect of resolution measures prior to the date of application of this Agreement. This amount will have to be reinstated over a period of 8 years (starting in 2016) through the periodic contributions to the SRF. The total amount of the contribution, in the first nine months of 2017, attributable to the Group was Euros 21,466,000, of which the Group delivered Euros 18,246,000 and the remaining was constituted as irrevocable payment commitment. The Single Resolution Fund does not cover undergoing situations with the National Resolution Fund as at 31 December 2015.

By a public statement on 28 September 2016, the RF and the Ministry of Finance communicated the agreement on the basis of a review of the terms of the Euros 3,900,000 million loan originally granted by the State to the FR in 2014 to finance the resolution measure applied to BES. According to the Resolution Fund, the extension of the maturity of the loan was intended to ensure the ability of the Resolution Fund to meet its obligations through its regular revenues, regardless of the contingencies to which the Resolution Fund is exposed. On the same day, the Office of the Minister of Finance also announced that increases in the liabilities arising from the materialization of future contingencies will determine the maturity adjustment of State and Bank loans to the Resolution Fund, in order to maintain the contributory effort required to the banking sector at current levels.

According to the communication of the Resolution Fund of 21 March 2017:

  • The conditions of the loans obtained by the Fund to finance the resolution measures applied to Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. and to Banif – Banco Internacional do Funchal, S.A. were changed ." These loans in the amount of Euros 4,953 million, of which Euros 4,253 million granted by the Portuguese State and Euros 700 million granted by a group of banks.

  • "Those loans are now due in December 2046, without prejudice to the possibility of being repaid early based on the use of the Resolution Fund's revenues. The due date will be adjusted so that it enables the Resolution Fund to fully meet its liabilities based on regular revenues and without the need for special contributions or any other type of extraordinary contributions. The liabilities resulting from the loans agreed between the Resolution Fund and the Sate and the banks pursuant to the resolution measures applied to BES and Banif are handled pari-passu with one another.

  • "The revision of the loans' conditions aimed to ensure the sustainability and financial balance of the Resolution Fund".

  • "The new conditions enable the full payment of the liabilities of the Resolution Fund, as well as the respective remuneration, without the need to ask the banking sector for special contributions or any other type of extraordinary contributions".

It is not possible, on this date, to assess the effects on the Resolution Fund due to: (i) the sale of the shareholding in Novo Banco in accordance with the communication of Banco de Portugal dated 18 October 2017; (ii) the application of the principle that no creditor of the credit institution under resolution may take on a loss greater than the one it would take if that institution did not go into liquidation; (iii) additional liabilities or contingencies for Novo Banco, S.A. which need to be neutralized by the Resolution Fund; (iv) legal proceedings against the Resolution Fund, including the legal proceeding filed by those who have been defrauded by BES; and (v) the guarantee provided to the bonds issued by Oitante.

Despite the possibility foreseen in the applicable legislation concerning the payment of special contributions, taking into consideration the recent developments in the renegotiation of the conditions of the loans granted to the Resolution Fund by the Portuguese State and by a group of banks, including the Bank, and the public notice made by the Resolution Fund and by the Office of the Portuguese Ministry of Finance mentioning that such a possibility will not be used, the interim financial statements as at 30 September 2017 translate the Bank's expectation that no special contributions or other type of extraordinary contributions will be required of the institutions part of the Resolution Fund to finance the resolution measures applied to BES and to Banif.

Eventual alterations regarding this matter may have relevant implications in future financial statements of the Bank.

  1. On 31 December 2013, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Trade Unions to implement a temporary adjustment process, which will allow BCP to reach the targets agreed by the EC with the Portuguese State to reduce staff costs. This agreement, which entered into force on 1 July 2014, in addition to reducing the remuneration, suspends the promotions, progressions and future diuturnities that should be paid by the end of 2017. This agreement also foresees that this reduction of salaries will be returned to the employees, subject to the approval at the General Meeting of shareholders of the Bank, on proposal of the Executive Committee.

In the last week of 2016, the negotiation that had been held since October 2016 with some labour unions was completed with the objective of reviewing the Collective Labour Agreement ("CLA"), whose main objective was the Bank's ability to maintain adequately the evolution of short-term staff costs with the lowest possible impact on employees' lives.

This revision of the CLA, which has been in force since February 2017, covered several matters, among which the most relevant are (i) the commitment to anticipate, by July 2017, the salary replacement that was scheduled for January 2018 and (ii) to raise the retirement age in order to bring it into line with that of Social Security, which will make it possible to strengthen the sustainability of pension funds.

With the implementation of the Restructuring Plan, the Bank was able to anticipate the full repayment of public funding in February 2017 and for this reason, the Board of Directors decided to bring forward by the end of the transitional period of the wage adjustment to July 2017.

  1. The Bank was subject to tax inspections for the years up to 2014. As a result of the inspections in question, corrections were made by the tax authorities, arising from the different interpretation of some tax rules. The main impact of these corrections occurred in the case of IRC in terms of the tax loss carry forwards and, in the case of VAT, in the calculation of the tax deduction pro rata used for the purpose of determining the amount of deductible VAT. The additional liquidations / corrections made by the tax administration were mostly object of contestation by administrative and / or judicial.

The Bank recorded provisions or deferred tax liabilities at the amount considered adequate to offset the tax or tax loss carry forwards, as well as the contingencies related to the fiscal years not yet reviewed by the tax administration.

50. Mozambique's sovereign debt

Following a period of deceleration in economic activity and increase of inflation, of revisions to the rating of the Republic of Mozambique, depreciation of the metical and of decrease in foreign direct investment, the Bank of Mozambique has adopted a restrictive policy, with increases in the reference rate since December 2015, as well as increasing the reserve ratio. This set of factors constrained commercial banking in Mozambique, pushing it to pursue strict liquidity management, with a focus on raising funds, despite contributing to the improvement of net interest income.

According to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) statement dated 23 April 2016, it existed debt guaranteed by the State of Mozambique in an amount over USD 1 billion that had not been disclosed to the IMF. Following this disclosure, the economic program supported by the IMF was suspended. According to an IMF statement dated 13 December 2016, discussions were initiated on a possible new agreement with the Government of Mozambique, and were agreed the terms of reference for an external audit.

In a statement dated 16 January 2017 and 17 July 2017, the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Mozambique informed the bonds holders issued by the Republic of Mozambique "US\$726.524 million, 10.5%, repayable securities in 2023" that the interest payment due on 18 January 2017 and 18 July 2017, would not be paid by the Republic of Mozambique.

In June 2017, the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Mozambique published an Executive Summary regarding the above-mentioned external audit. On 24 June 2017, the IMF released in a statement that due to the existence of information gaps in this audit, an IMF mission would visit the country to discuss audit results and possible follow-up measures. Following this visit, the IMF requested the Government of Mozambique to obtain additional information on the use of the funds.

According to public information provided by the IMF, there are credits granted in default to Mozambican companies, non-state, guaranteed by the Mozambican State.

This situation does not change the expectations of the Group on the ability of the Government of Mozambique and public enterprises to fully reimburse their commitments and about the development of the activity of their subsidiary Banco Internacional de Moçambique (BIM).

As at 30 September 2017, considering the 66.7% indirect investment in BIM Group, the Bank's interest in BIM's equity amounted to Euros 246,198,000, being the exchange translation reserve associated with this participation a negative amount of Euros 156,934,000. BIM's contribution to consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2017, attributable to the shareholders of the Bank, amounts to Euros 40,364,000

On that date, the subsidiary BIM's exposure to the State of Mozambique includes public debt securities denominated in metical classified as Financial assets available for sale financial assets and Financial assets held to maturity in the amounts of Euros 281,558,000 and Euros 88,055,000 respectively. These public debt securities mostly have a maturity of less than 1 year.

As at 30 September 2017, the Group has also registered in the balance Loans and advances to costumers, a direct exposure to the Mozambican State in the amount of Euros 370,977,000 (of which Euros 288,834,000 are denominated in metical, Euros 81,755,000 denominated in USD and Euros 388,000 denominated in Euros) and an indirect exposure resulting from sovereign guarantees received in the amount of Euros 290.351.000 (of which Euros 141,093,000 are denominated in metical and Euros 149,258,000 denominated in USD) and in the balance Guarantees granted and irrevocable commitments, an amount of Euros 31,044,000 (of which Euros 1,110,000 are denominated in metical and Euros 29,934,000 denominated in USD).

Ongoing discussions and inspections by the supervisor will lead to a reduction in the locally reported capital ratios due to certain locally applicable rules with no impact on the financial statements of BIM. Such locally reported ratios are, and will remain, comfortably above the required levels locally. These developments will have no bearing on the Group´s reported capital ratios or consolidated financial statements.

51. Transfers of assets

The Group performed a set of transactions of sale of financial assets (namely loans and advances to customers) for Funds specialized in the recovery of loans. These funds take the responsibility for management of the borrower companies or assets received as collateral with the objective of ensuring a pro-active management through the implementation of plans to explore/increase the value of the companies/assets.

The specialized funds in credit recovery that acquired the financial assets are closed funds, in which the holders of the participation units have no possibility to request the reimbursement of its participation units throughout the useful life of the Fund. These participation units are held by several banks, which are the sellers of the loans, in percentages that vary through the useful life of the Funds, ensuring however that, separately, none of the banks hold more than 50% of the capital of the Fund.

The Funds have a specific management structure (General Partner), fully independent from the assignor banks and that is selected on the date of establishment of the Fund. The management structure of the Fund has as main responsibilities to: (i) determine the objective of the Fund and (ii) administrate and manage exclusively the Fund, determining the objectives and investment policy and the conduct in management and business of the Fund. The management structure is remunerated through management commissions charged to the Funds.

These funds (in which the Group holds minority positions) establish companies in order to acquire the loans to the banks, which are financed through the issuance of senior and junior securities. The value of the senior securities fully subscribed by the Funds that hold the share capital match the fair value of the asset sold, determined in accordance with a negotiation based on valuations performed by both parties.

The value of the junior securities is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior securities and the value of the transfer of credits. These junior securities, when subscribed by the Group, provide the right to a contingent positive value if the recovered amount for the assets transferred is above the nominal value amount of senior securities plus it related interest. Thus, considering these junior assets reflect a difference between the valuations of the assets sold based on the appraisals performed by independent entities and the negotiation between the parties, the Group performs the constitution of impairment losses for all of them.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

30 September 2017

Therefore, as a result of the transfer of assets occurred operations, the Group subscribed:

  • Senior securities (participation units) of the funds, for which the cash-flows arise mainly from a set of assets transferred from the participant banks. These securities are booked in the available for sale portfolio and are accounted for at fair value based on the last available quote, as disclosed by the Management companies and audited at year end, still being analysed by the Bank;

  • Junior securities (with higher subordination degree) issued by the Portuguese law companies held by the funds and which are fully provided to reflect the best estimate of impairment of the financial assets transferred.

Within this context, not withholding control but maintaining an exposure to certain risks and rewards, the Group, in accordance with IAS 39.21 performed an analysis of the exposure to the variability of risks and rewards in the assets transferred, before and after the transaction, having concluded that it does not hold substantially all the risks and rewards.

Considering that it does not hold control and does not exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Group performed, under the scope of IAS 39.20 c, the derecognition of the assets transferred and the recognition of the assets received in return as follows:
