MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

2013 was marked by diverging trends which contributed to global growth that was, once again, moderate. The emerging economies, notwithstanding their higher growth rate, lost some vitality due to cyclical and structural constraints, while the developed countries were faced with budget scenarios that were generally more restrictive, using expansionary monetary policies to mitigate recessive effects.

In the euro zone, the member countries continued to show differing performance, with the countries of the "periphery" experiencing greater difficulties due to the need for fiscal consolidation and deleveraging. Despite this, the premiums of public debt contracted significantly, in a context where Ireland and, at a different level, Spain successfully concluded their financial assistance programmes and where it is expected that European integration will strengthen with the steps taken towards the implementation of the Banking Union.

Portugal continued with the adjustment imposed by the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme to correct structural imbalances, constraining the activity of economic agents and leading to a contraction of GDP of around 1.4%. However, business indicators have recovered progressively, with the stabilisation of domestic demand and the positive contribution of the export sector. Investor perception in relation to the country's risk is gradually improving as a result of the strict compliance with the programme, namely in terms of the budget consolidation, reduction of the external deficit and implementation of structural reforms that are fundamental to increasing the country's competitiveness.

In this context, the evolution of the activity of the banking sector in Portugal throughout 2013 remained strongly constrained. The squeezing of net interest income, in a scenario of historically low interest rates and reduced credit demand, as well as increased impairments, limited the generation of earnings by banking institutions. Even so, the system strengthened its solvency ratios and assured adequate liquidity levels, which are essential aspects in the current environment.

For the BCP Group, 2013 was a very important year, with relevant progress in the reinforcement of capital ratios above the required levels, in the strengthening of the bank's liquidity position, in the drive to reverse the earnings trend and achieve higher efficiency levels in Portugal, as well as developing the core operations abroad in Poland, Angola and Mozambique, which show significant growth potential.

We have eliminated the exposure to operating risk in Greece, through the sale of the entirety of the share capital of Millennium Bank and, subsequently, the divestment of the stake in Piraeus Bank, which had positive impacts on profitability and capital.

We negotiated and formalised the commitments undertaken with the European Commission's Directorate-General for Competition (DG Comp) relative to the Bank's Restructuring Plan through 2017, the established date for the completion of the repayment of the 3 billion euros in Portuguese State support for the Bank's recapitalisation in 2012. These commitments confirmed the institution's viability without the continued support of the State, but also established demanding goals that must be achieved at specific periods, and placed restrictions on the current business model.

In order to comply with the conditions agreed with DG Comp and ensure that the institution becomes more efficient, a pre-agreement was reached in the last quarter of 2013 with the organisations representing BCP's employees for the implementation of a series of staff cost-cutting measures. These include the possibility of a temporary lowering of wages and a reduction in the number of employees in Portugal, to take place during 2014.

The BCP Group ended 2013 with consolidated net income of -740 million euros. The principal impacts derive from the endowments for impairments and provisions, in the total amount of 1.287 billion euros, the interest payments for the State support (269 million euros), the adverse evolution of interest rates, with negative effects on net interest income, and the cost of the backing provided by the State to the Bank's debt issues (60 million euros). This outcome is in line with that foreseen in the Restructuring

Plan, for a strategic period of strengthening the balance sheet, and reflects the economic evolution in Portugal.

The Bank recorded a high level of provisioning in 2013, though new entries net of bad debt in Portugal declined by 53% in relation to 2012. This reflects the efforts directed towards the internal reorganisation of the commercial and credit recovery areas, and confirms the objective of sustained reduction of the cost of risk, in the medium and long term.

In 2013, a significant reduction was achieved in recurrent operating costs in Portugal, worth 131 million euros (-15.1% relative to 2012), incorporating the effect of the reduction of total staff numbers implemented in 2012 and 2013 (from 8,982 employees in December 2012 to 8,584 in December 2013), as well as lower administrative costs, derived from initiatives to rationalise and restrict expenditure. This effort moved the Bank closer to achieving the objective of lowering operating costs in Portugal to values below 700 million euros by 2015 and, from the environmental perspective, has contributed to mitigating our "ecological footprint" through the optimisation of processes, equipment and resources.

The continued development of business in the core international operations is fundamental to boosting their contribution to the Group's consolidated net income. In 2013 this contribution amounted to 253 million euros (before minority interests), representing growth of approximately 7.6% relative to 2012 and which generally reflects the increase of operating income and control of operating costs in the different operations.

In terms of liquidity, the Bank remained focused on the deleveraging process, reducing the ratio of net loans to deposits (pursuant to the criteria of the Bank of Portugal) from 128% in December 2012 to 117% in December 2013, already below the 120% recommended for 2015. The commercial gap decreased by more than 5.4 billion euros relative to December 2012, through the combination of increased deposits and fewer loans granted, enabling the reduction of the net use of funding obtained from the European Central Bank (ECB) to 10 billion euros.

Regarding capital levels, the Bank achieved the highest value ever at the end of 2013, with a Core Tier 1 ratio of 13.8% pursuant to the criteria of the Bank of Portugal, above the 12.4% achieved in December 2012. This figure reflects not only the State support, but also the positive effect of the reduction of weighted risks, through the de-consolidation of the Greek operation and the use of advanced risk analysis models. According to the criteria established by the European Banking Authority, the Core Tier 1 ratio stood at 10.8% (12.8% if adjusted for the capital buffer for exposures to sovereign risk to the values as at 31 December 2013).

The Group's action is driven by values and principles that assure the sustainability of the organisation and its value offer in the long term, with a view to the wellbeing of the people and communities in which it operates. In this perspective, we highlight the fundamental role played by the Millennium bcp Foundation which, with administrative autonomy and financial capacity, has continuously sought to concentrate its efforts on supporting keyinstitutions and projects all over the country that are directed at increasing efficacy in the medium and long terms in the areas of Culture, Education and Charitable Work. On the other hand, the Bank has implemented dynamic strategies that successfully meet the challenges posed by the circumstances and Stakeholders concerning Social Responsibility, Culture, Heritage, Education, and Environment, among others.

We are attentive to the uncertainties that remain in 2014, both in terms of macroeconomic circumstances and in terms of the process of transferring supervision to the ECB, under the European Banking Union, which will imply a new asset quality review (AQR) and new stress tests on the solvency of European banks. Regarding capital, the new capital rules (CRD IV) and the legal framework for deferred tax assets are still pending transposition to Portuguese legislation, as has already occurred in Italy and Spain.

For the BCP Group, 2014 will be a year of major challenges. Pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, we began a phase of creating conditions for growth and profitability, which will necessarily imply reversing the trend of the profit and loss account and starting the repayment of the Portuguese State support.

We will continue to implement the Restructuring Plan, focusing on the simplification of the structure and processes in terms of the operation in Portugal and concentrating on the innovation of products and services. We want to continue to uphold leadership not only in business but also in efficiency, flexibility and capacity to understand and resolve Customers' problems. We will continue to work on the development and enhanced profitability of our core operations abroad, positioning our institution as an increasingly stronger reference bank in the countries in which it operates. We will also continue to pay particular attention to capital and liquidity management.

On a final note, we would like to leave a special word of acknowledgement to our Employees. The Group's performance in 2013 would not have been possible without the contribution and dedicated of all the Employees in Portugal and countries in which the Bank operates.

We count on all the Stakeholders to assist us in the daily construction of a Bank that is more solid, more profitable, more efficient and more capable of adapting to change.

GOVERNANCE

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. adopts a one-tier management and supervisory model, comprised of a Board of Directors, which includes an Executive Committee and an Audit Committee comprised of only non-executive Directors. The company also has a Remuneration and Welfare Board and an International Strategic Board.

Furthermore, the Group also uses a Statutory Auditor and an external audit firm to audit the individual and consolidated accounts of the Bank, whose appointment was deliberated at the General Meeting.

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 deliberations are binding for all when taken under the law terms and 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 Remuneration and Welfare Board;
  • Approving amendments to the memorandum of association;
  • Deliberating on the annual management report and accounts for the year and proposed application of results;
  • Deliberating on matters submitted upon request of the management and supervisory bodies;
  • Deliberating on all issues entrusted to it by the law or articles of association, or included in the duties of other corporate bodies.

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

Under the terms of the articles of association in force, the Board of Directors is composed of a minimum of seventeen and maximum of twenty-five members with and without executive duties, elected by the General Meeting for a period of three years, who may be re-elected.

The Board of Directors in office as at 31 December 2013 was composed of twenty-five permanent members, with 13 non-executives, including two members appointed by the State for the period of enforcement of the public investment to strengthen the Bank's own funds, and 7 executives.

On March 1, 2012, the Board of Directors appointed an Executive Committee composed of seven of its members, in which it delegates the current management of the Bank. During 2013 the Executive Committee was assisted in its management functions by several committees and commissions which oversaw the monitoring of certain relevant matters.

The supervision of the company is assured by an Audit Committee, elected by the General Meeting, composed of a minimum of three and maximum of five members, elected together with all the other directors. The proposed lists for the Board of Directors must detail which members will be part of the Audit Committee and indicate the respective Chairman.

The Remuneration and Welfare Board is composed of three to five members, elected by the General Meeting, the majority of whom should be independent.

COMPETITIVE POSITIONING

Millennium bcp is the largest Portuguese private-owned banking institution, with the second largest branch network in Portugal (774) and an expanding position in the countries where it operates, especially in African affinity markets.

Based on the motto "We seek to see the world through our Customers' eyes", the Bank offers a vast range of banking products and services, focused on Retail, where it offers universal banking services and, remote banking channels (telephone, mobile and Internet banking services), operating as distribution points.

Its mission of ensuring excellence, quality service and innovation make the Bank distinctive and differentiated from the competition. Accompanying the changes in consumer preference for digital banking, the creation of ActivoBank represents a privileged way of serving a group of urban customers who are young at heart, intensive users of new communication technologies and value simplicity, transparency, trust, innovation and accessibility in banking relations.

By the end of 2013, operations in Portugal accounted for 77% of total assets, 78% of total loans to customers (gross) and 75% of total customer funds. The Bank had over 2.3 million customers in Portugal and market shares of 19.3% and 18.6% for loans to customers and customer deposits, respectively.

Millennium bcp was also present in the five main continents of the world through its banking operations, representative offices and/or commercial protocols, serving over 5.1 million customers, at the end of 2013.

Millennium bcp continues to pursue plans to expand its operations in Africa. Millennium bim, a universal bank, has been operating since 1995 in Mozambique, where it is the leading bank, with over 1.2 million customers, 31.8% of loans to customers and 31.3% of deposits. Millennium bim is a highly reputed brand in the Mozambican market, associated with innovation, significant penetration in terms of electronic banking and the exceptional capacity to attract new customers, being a reference in terms of profitability.

Banco Millennium Angola (BMA) was incorporated on April 3, 2006 via the transformation of the local branch into a bank under Angolan law. Benefiting from the strong image of the Millennium bcp brand, BMA presents distinctive characteristics such as innovation and dynamic communication, availability and convenience. In Angola the Group aspires, with the investment in progress, to become a reference player in the banking sector in the medium term. BMA also intends to become an important partner for companies in the oil sector, through the constitution of a specific corporate centre, provision of financial support to these companies and trade finance operations. By December 2013, the Bank had a market share of 3.2% in loans to customers and 3.4% in deposits.

In Poland, Bank Millennium has a well distributed network of branches, supported on modern multichannel infrastructure, reference service quality, high recognition of the brand, a robust capital base, comfortable liquidity and solid risk management and control. At the end of 2013, Bank Millennium had market share of 4.8% in loans to customers and 5.3% in deposits.

In Romania, the Group is present through a Greenfield operation launched in October 2007. Millennium Bank is a bank of national scope providing a wide range of innovative financial products to individuals and companies, supported by a network of 65 branches and 6 corporate centres. In view of the commitment undertaken with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DGComp) regarding the Bank's restructuring plan, the operation in Romania will be divested in the medium term.

The Group has had an operation in Switzerland since 2003, corresponding to a private banking platform offering personalised, quality services to the Group's high net worth customers, comprising asset management solutions based on rigorous research and profound knowledge of financial markets, underpinned by a robust commitment to risk management and an efficient IT platform.

The Group has also been present in Asia since 1993, but it was only in 2010 that the activity of the existing branch in Macau was expanded, through the attribution of a full license (onshore) aimed at establishing an international platform for business operations between Europe, China and Portuguesespeaking Africa.

The Bank also has 11 representative offices (1 in the United Kingdom, 2 in Germany, 3 in Switzerland, 2 in Brazil, 1 in Venezuela, 1 in China and 1 in South Africa), 5 commercial protocols (Canada, USA, Spain, France and Luxembourg) and 1 commercial promoter (Australia).

BUSINESS MODEL

NATURE OF THE OPERATIONS AND MAIN ACTIVITIES

The Group provides a wide variety of banking services and financial activities in Portugal and abroad, being present in the following markets: Poland, Mozambique, Angola, Switzerland and Romania. All its banking operations develop their activity under the Millennium brand. Always attentive to the challenges imposed in an increasingly more global market, the Group also ensures its presence in the five main continents of the world through representative offices and/or commercial protocols.

The Bank offers a vast range of financial products and services: current accounts, means of payment, savings and investment products, private banking, asset management and investment banking, including mortgage loans, consumer credit, commercial banking, leasing, factoring and insurance, among others. The back-office operations for the distribution network are integrated, in order to benefit from economies of scale.

In Portugal, Millennium bcp has the second largest distribution network, focused on the retail market, providing services to its customers in a segmented manner. The operations of the subsidiaries generally provide their products through the BCP distribution networks, offering a wide range of products and services, in particular asset management and insurance.

DISTINCTIVE FACTORS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE BUSINESS MODEL

Largest private owned banking institution

Millennium bcp is Portugal's largest private owned banking institution, with a position of leadership and particular strength in various financial products, services and market segments based on a strong and significant franchise at a national level.

The activity in the domestic market focuses on Retail Banking, which is segmented in order to best serve Customer interests, both through a value proposition based on innovation and speed aimed at Massmarket Customers, and through the innovation and personalised management of service targeting Prestige and Business Customers. The Retail Network also has a bank aimed specifically at Customers who are young in spirit, intensive users of new communication technologies and prefer a banking relationship based on simplicity, offering innovative products and services.

The Bank also offers remote banking channels (banking service by telephone and Internet), which operate as distribution points for its financial products and services. The remote channels also underlie a new concept of banking, based on the ActivoBank platform.

At the end of 2013, the Bank had the second largest banking distribution network of the country – 774 branches, serving over 2.3 million Customers, and held the position of second bank (first private owned bank) in terms of market share both for loans to customers (19.3%), and customer deposits (18.6%).

Resilience and sustainability of the business model

The widespread liquidity and credit crises, which began in 2007, have brought new challenges to the financial system. The aggravation of the sovereign debt crisis has required additional effort from national banks in order to overcome the adversities.

Millennium bcp, in particular, has shown its strength in successfully exceeding the successive requirements on matters of capital and liquidity, enabling the launch of the bases to recover profitability in Portugal and continuous growth of operations in Poland, Mozambique and Angola.

The capacity of resilience of the business model is essentially based on the Bank's concentration on retail banking, by nature more stable and less volatile, in relation to the minor weight of the financial operations. In turn, the resilience of operating income, even in the current context of the financial crisis and, and high efficiency levels which have been strengthened progressively since 2008, are the result of a continued strategy based on cost reduction.

Leading Bank in innovation

Since its incorporation, BCP has built a reputation based on its dynamism, innovation, competitiveness, profitability and financial strength. The Bank is a reference in various market segments in Portugal and a reference institution in the distribution of financial products and services. BCP was the first bank in

Portugal to introduce various concepts and innovative products, including direct marketing methods, design of branches based on the customers' profile, wage accounts, smaller and more efficient branches ("Nova Rede"), telephone banking (through Banco 7, which subsequently became the first online platform in Portugal, health insurance (Médis) and direct insurance, and was the first Portuguese bank with a website dedicated to companies.

In view of the importance of innovation, as a distinguishing factor of excellence relative to the competition, BCP was also a pioneer in the launch of a new banking concept, supported by the ActivoBank platform, based on the simplicity of customer service, convenience, transparency and presence of emerging distribution and communication channels (e.g. Mobile Banking).

Following its mission to add value for Customers and other Stakeholders, Millennium bcp actively entered the Social Networks in May 2010, and now has tens of thousands of "followers", in particular on Facebook, whose higher number of visitors and ongoing activity support a communication strategy based on the immediacy and proximity to target groups, with disclosure of information of general interest in the context of each area of activity.

Technology

During 2013, the Bank continued its strategy of continuous improvement of Information Systems through the implementation of a series of innovative projects and structural initiatives, among which the following are particularly noteworthy: i) the upgrade of the commercial platform (iPAC), with a wide range of new essential features to continue the drive to strengthen the value proposition focused on the Customer; ii) the provision of a new application to support the Factoring business, which enables a more effective and efficient management of processes, improving the level and quality of the service provided to Customers and aimed at meeting growing market needs more swiftly; iii) a new Mobile application for Companies, strengthening the differentiating offer in this channel, with significant advantages for Customers, iv) the provision of a new solution supporting the entire credit recovery process (SIRC), thus ensuring total coverage of the functionalities in the different areas intervening in the process; v) a new solution to support the commercial activity of the Company and Corporate Networks (Commercial GPS); vi) the adaptation of the payments systems to SEPA requirements and also concerning risk management; and vii) the upgrade of the Risk Level Attribution System (SAGR).

Regarding support for international operations, we highlight the provision of the new website for Millennium bim's Individual and Company Customers in Mozambique and the application underpinning the Factoring business provided to Banco Millennium Angola.

Under the continued drive towards cost reduction, particular note should be made of the signing of a new contract to provide IT services in outsourcing arrangements, which includes some areas of application development and support services to the Organic Units of the Bank's structure.

Millennium brand and communication with Customers

The Millennium brand is a base for the Bank's entire commercial offer and a fundamental part of its strategy with direct impact on net income, leading to the positioning of Millennium bcp in the mind of its Customers, projecting credibility, strengthening relations of trust in the Bank and creating feelings of loyalty, boosting the value of the brand.

A new evolution of the Millennium bcp brand was consolidated in 2013, with a focus on communication by segments. As a result of the awareness of the increasingly more imperative need to adjust not only the offer but also the message to the specific features and profiles of each Customer Segment at the Bank, Millennium has designed a message that is more focused on the commercial requirements and value of each segment, whether Mass Market, Prestige or Company Customers, evolving to a more personalised and relational form of communication. This re-definition of content has been accompanied by a graphic re-adjustment of the communication components, so as to enable the chromatic and visual differentiation of the type of message and receiver.

The commitment established with its Clients has continued to be one of the Bank's strategic priorities. With a constant effort to to see the world through our Customers' eyes, because we aspire to meet all their needs and contribute to the fulfilment of their dreams, Millennium bcp has chosen "Focus on the Customer" as one of its strategic pillars, a critical factor for the Bank's success.

We highlight the communication effort made throughout 2013 in the Prestige Segment that, together with the development of a wide range of initiatives addressed to Company Customers, aimed to strengthen the position that Millennium intends to consolidate in both Segments.

Particular note should be made of campaigns such as the "Prestige Programme" (focused on the advantages and distinctive elements underlying the "Prestige" status), the "Credit for Companies" campaign (based on the message of the provision of 42 billion euros through 2015 to boost the growth of Portuguese Companies), and the start-up of the "Millennium Day for Companies" initiative, an event aimed at fostering contacts and the sharing of experience among Portuguese entrepreneurs, countrywide.

Concerning the Mass Market segment, the Bank continued to use a predominantly commercial type of communication, based on integrated solutions of banking products and services that enable greater saving, convenience and simplicity, such as the "Frequent Customer", "Family Discount" or "Free Meal Card".

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS

The BCP Group has pursued its business strategy committed to continuous and transparent dialogue with its Stakeholders, so as to understand and address their expectations.

EMPLOYEES

The BCP Group offers all its Employees fair treatment and equal opportunities, promoting meritocracy at all stages of their career and defining Employee remuneration in accordance with their category, professional path and level of achievement of the established objectives.

The principles of action of the BCP Group establish a series of values and benchmarks, applicable to all Employees, which include unequivocal guidance, so that: (i) regardless of the respective hierarchical or responsibility level, all Employees act in a fair manner, with no discrimination and (ii) the commitment to the ten Global Compact Principles is reaffirmed, under which the Group recognises and supports the freedom of association and the right to collective work agreement negotiation and rejects the existence of any form of forced and compulsory labour, including child labour.

Motivation and Satisfaction

Employees constitute one of the strategic pillars of the BCP Group where, through the annual questionnaire on the satisfaction and motivation, it is essential for the Bank's dynamics and sustainability to assess levels of: i) overall satisfaction; ii) satisfaction with the organic unit; iii) satisfaction with the direct managers; and iv) motivation.

With a slight decrease in overall participation, less than 3 i.p. (index points) in relation to the previous year, the questionnaire carried out in early 2013 recorded the participation of 81% of the Employees. The obtained results recorded: i) overall satisfaction of 71.7 i.p., a decrease, which, while of little significance, was above all explained by the values for Romania and Mozambique; and ii) motivation, with the highest value of these last years at 73.3 i.p., especially influenced by the Employees of Portugal.

Concerning the quality of the internal service, the questionnaires to measure Employee satisfaction with the service provided internally by the Bank's different departments were maintained, in order to identify opportunities for improvement in internal processes. In Portugal, the value of 74.0 i.p. was in line with the previous year. International activity recorded a significant increase from 71.8 i.p. to 75.6 i.p., explained by the Romanian operation, which jumped from 70 i.p. to 86 i.p.

Training

At the BCP Group, training has always been a priority for the development of the professional and personal skills of the Employees. The search for excellence in the quality of the service provided to Customers involves identifying the training which is most suited to the specific needs of each Employee.

In overall terms, 2,634 training actions were given, corresponding to over 680,380 hours of training, with an average of 36 training hours per Employee. As a whole, focus was maintained on the commercial and credit recovery areas, and training actions were reinforced concerning team management and leadership.

CUSTOMERS

Satisfaction Surveys

In Portugal, the "Customer Experience" model was implemented, an innovative methodology where Customers assess their experience with the Bank after its occurrence. The results indicate that 62% of Mass Market Customers recommend the Bank's service (promoters) and 19% present an index of low recommendation (detractors). These values are in line with Personalised Management, where 57% of Customers promote the Bank and 15% of Customers present an index of low recommendation. Over 85,000 Customers have already been surveyed. In order to strengthen the measurement of Customer satisfaction and loyalty, the CSI Millennium bcp (Customer Satisfaction Index) study was contracted from Marktest, held in quarterly phases. During the 2nd phase, the Bank proved to be particularly strong in the following indicators: "Satisfaction with the competence/professionalism of branch employees", "Satisfaction with contact initiatives" and "Satisfaction with branch opening hours".

In the international activity, overall customer satisfaction levels with the Bank increased in relation to the previous year, influenced by the significant upturn recorded in Mozambique, which shifted from 60 i.p. to 71 i.p. (index points).

In Poland, 90% of Mass Market Customers answered that they were satisfied with the Bank, especially for the products and services indicator, which increased in comparison to the previous year by 75 i.p. to 77 i.p.

Culture of Rigour

Specific training and follow-up by Compliance Office teams, aimed at strengthening the knowledge of Commercial Employees in the implementation of complex due diligence processes and collection of information on Customers, especially those presenting non-negligible risk levels, with a view to mitigating operating risks and risks of fraud, continue to be part of the Group's activities, in the context of the promotion of rigorous professional conduct in conformity with the instituted principles.

SUPPLIERS

At Millennium bcp, the Supplier selection process follows criteria of overall competence of the company, functionality and flexibility of the specific solutions to be acquired and continued capacity of service provision. In all its operations, the Group continues to favour a procurement process involving Suppliers from the respective country, with payments to local Suppliers corresponding to 93%.

The Bank's main suppliers are companies which publish their economic, environmental and social performance, ensuring the responsible contracting of products and services.

In Portugal and Poland, certain supply contracts define commitments to action in the area of sustainability, namely in relation to labour practices. Currently, in Portugal, 465 Suppliers subscribe to these principles, of which 80% are subject to a process of continuous monitoring.

With regards to the assessment of the service provided, the Suppliers of Millennium bcp are subject to an ongoing process, supported: i) by the relations maintained with the Technical Competence Centres; ii) by the actions of performance assessment and identification points for improvement; and iii) by the decision-making processes for the implementation of investments and renewal of contracts.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY

The BCP Group, aware of its environmental impacts, has fully endeavoured to mitigate its ecological footprint, promoting and raising awareness towards the adoption of good practices. Based on the principle of continuous improvement, the Group has focused its intervention on two vectors of action:

  • Optimisation of processes and equipment Investments in terms of improvement of the Bank's processes, equipment and infrastructures.
  • Environmental awareness Involvement of the Employees and Customers in promoting the adoption of more responsible environmental practices.

Optimisation of processes and equipment

In order to do more and better, the BCP Group invests in the continuous optimisation of processes and activities and in the renewal of equipment and infrastructures. All the actions are developed based on careful and thorough cost-benefit analyses with the fundamental premise of maintaining the quality of the service provided and enhancing the satisfaction of the Bank's Customers.

  • In Portugal, during 2013 and following on the work that has been progressively developed over previous years, various measures were implemented to reduce the consumption of electricity and increase the Bank's energy efficiency. The optimisation of the functioning of the transformer station, in facilities equipped with more than one transformer, and of the operational parameters of the equipment for production of cold water for the air conditioning systems, are among the energy efficiency measures that were implemented and which enabled an estimated saving of around 2,600 MWh, corresponding to an estimated reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 778 tCO2eq. The focus on the "Be Lean DO" programme was strengthened. This programme was created in 2010, with the objective of promoting operating excellence and disseminating a culture of continuous improvement (Lean) at the Bank, through the expansion of the Financial Operations Department and Human Resources Division. Regarding the consumption of materials, the Bank continued to invest in the dematerialisation of documents, with 53% of bank account statements and 91% of transaction receipts issued in digital format.
  • In Poland, energy and water consumption has been monitored and audits were conducted in the branches showing highest resource consumption, based on the ranking of consumption. Also concerning energy, focus continued on the Verdiem project, with a reduction of energy consumption of around 40% having been achieved in 2013, through the centralised management of the IT equipment, placing them in stand-by and off-mode during periods of non-use. For the consumption of materials, it is important to highlight the creation of the "8 in 1" contract, which enables a new Customer, when acquiring various services, to receive only one contract, instead of receiving various contracts, one for each product, thus contributing to the dematerialisation and simplification of administrative processes.
  • Romania reduced the Bank's vehicle fleet and promoted dematerialisation, through the reuse of materials and stronger control of printouts.
  • In Mozambique, efforts were made towards the promotion of dematerialisation, with around 65% of Customer statements issued in digital format.
  • Banco Millennium Angola installed timers at its branches, which switch off the main energyconsuming equipment during non-working periods.

Environmental Awareness Raising

The environmental awareness raising of the Employees has been assumed by Millennium as strategic in the reduction of the Bank's environmental impacts.

  • In Portugal, the awareness of the Employees has been heightened concerning the importance of the adoption of more responsible conduct towards the environment through, among other dissemination actions, the regular publication of environmental contents on the website and in all editions of the "IT's our News" newsletter, under the communication plan of the "Green IT" programme and "Consumption Dashboard" initiative.
  • In Poland, the Bank launched an advertising campaign in the media aimed at promoting Customer investment in energy efficient projects, under the Polseff programme, which is managed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. An environmental manual has also been created for Customers and Employees, which is an awareness raising instrument highlighting the importance of reducing the main consumption of resources.

Ecological Footprint

Millennium regularly monitors a series of environmental performance indicators which measure the Bank's efficiency with regard to its main consumption of resources. As a whole, the Bank's eco-efficiency has improved, as a result of the continuous investment in new equipment, optimisation of processes and change in Employee behaviour. In spite of this improvement, analysis of the indicators which reflect the Bank's consumption per Employees point to a slight increase relative to the values reported in 2012, for energy and material consumption and for greenhouse emissions explained by the overall reduction in the number of Employees between 2012 and 2013.

  • The majority of the Bank's energy consumption derives from indirect sources (electric and thermal), which represented 60% of Millennium's power needs. The consumption of indirect and direct energy fell by 9% and 2%, respectively, relative to 2012, where the majority of these reductions occurred through lower consumption of direct energy and electricity in Portugal, by 8% and 11% respectively. This was due to the implemented energy efficiency measures and the closure of 70 branches and two administrative buildings. Poland and Romania also contributed to the reduction of indirect energy, with decreased consumption of electricity of 2% and 20%, respectively.
  • Millennium, under the effort to minimise greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change, calculates and monitors its carbon footprint and annually participates in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Millennium's carbon footprint follows a downward trend recorded in the Bank's direct and indirect energy consumption, with total greenhouse gas emissions having fallen by 6% in relation to 2012. Scope 1 emissions fell by 2%, reflecting the 2% reduction observed in direct energy consumption. Scope 2 emissions fell by 8%, due to the 9% reduction observed in indirect energy consumption.

In Portugal, Millennium bcp has defined goals for further reducing its ecological footprint for 2014: 4% for water consumption and 11% for electricity consumption.

  • The total water consumption of the BCP Group decreased by 14% in comparison with the previous year, due to the reduction observed in Portugal (8%), Mozambique (19%), Poland (15%) and Angola (8%).
  • In 2013, the BCP Group reduced its consumption of the main materials (paper and cardboard, plastic, ink cartridges and toners) by 12%, in relation to 2012, due to the decrease which occurred in most of its geographic areas. Regarding the materials consumed at the Bank, the most significant in terms of quantities is paper and cardboard, the consumption of which was cut by 12% relative to 2012, influenced by the dematerialisation measures implemented in all geographic regions, which led to a considerable reduction in Portugal (11%), Poland (20%), Romania (12%) and Angola (8%).

BCP SHARES

PERFORMANCE OF BCP SHARES

The year of 2013 was marked by the good performance of the capital markets, with the principal stock indices having recorded a significant appreciation.

The national index PSI20 also showed positive performance, having appreciated 16% during the year with 14 of the 20 shares having closed in positive territory.

Among those which most appreciated, we highlight BCP shares, whose value increased by over 120%, holding second place in the group of companies included in the PSI20 that rose the most. In the context of the "NYSE Euronext Lisbon Awards" relative to 2013, BCP was awarded the prize for the listed company with the best performance among the companies with stock exchange capitalisation above one billion euros, and at the same time BCP was the 2nd bank included in the European bank index (STOXX Banks) that most appreciated last year.

The performance of BCP shares was characterised by various phases. A significant rise of the shares was observed between January and February, which can be explained by factors mainly external to the Bank and related to improved macroeconomic confidence in Portugal, namely with the successful 5-year issue made by the Portuguese Republic in January. March was a negative month for European banks, including BCP, with the process of international assistance extended to Cyprus. In April, the Bank announced its divestment of the Greek operation and the share price recovered from the Cyprus effect, demonstrating better performance than that of its peers. However, the political crisis in Portugal in early July wiped out these gains, which were then steadily restored with the announcement of the commitments undertaken with the Directorate-General for Competition (DG Comp) of the European Commission and updating of the strategic plan in September. During the 4th quarter of 2013, BCP shares appreciated sharply, distancing it from its peers, due to the conclusion of the successful divestment of Piraeus Bank, the improved macroeconomic confidence in Portugal and principally the approval, in Spain, of the law that enables Spanish banks to consider deferred tax assets as capital according to the new Basel III rules, which the market perceived as opening the way for a similar framework for Portuguese banks.

The following graph illustrates the performance of BCP shares during 2013:

DIVIDEND POLICY

Pursuant to the conditions of the issue of Core Tier I Capital Instruments underwritten by the State, under Law 63-A/2008 and Implementing Order 150-A/2012, the Bank cannot distribute dividends until the issue is fully reimbursed.

MONITORING OF INVESTORS AND ANALYSTS

BCP shares are covered by the leading national and international investment firms, which issue regular investment recommendations and price targets on the Bank.

The average price target of the investment firms that monitor the Bank showed an increase which reflects the improvement in risk perception for Portugal and also the mitigation of risk of exposure to Greece, with the sale of the operation, and the first signs of trend reversal in terms of the main profit items. This improvement is also reflected in the purchase recommendations and "neutrals" which increased from 45% at the end of 2012 to 64% at the end of 2013.

The Bank participated in various events during 2013, having attended 12 conferences and 8 roadshows in Europe, USA and Canada organised by other banks such as BES, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BBVA, BPI, KBW, Merril Lynch and Nomura, where it made institutional presentations and held one-on-one meetings with investors.

As a whole, during 2013, 343 meetings were also held with investors, and it should be noted that this is a record figure, demonstrating the significant increase of interest shown by investors in relation to the Bank.

TREASURY SHARES

As at 31 December 2013, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. did not hold any treasury shares. During 2013, the Bank neither purchased nor sold treasury shares. Thus, as at 31 December 2013, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. continued not to hold any treasury shares.

However, and merely for book-keeping purposes, as at 31 December 2013, this heading includes 76,664,387 shares (85,018,572 shares as at 31 December 2012) held by Customers whose acquisition was financed by the Bank. Considering that for these Customers there is evidence of impairment, pursuant to IAS 39, the Bank's shares held by these Customers were, in observance of this standard, considered as treasury shares.

SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE

According to information from Interbolsa, as at 31 December 2013 the number of Shareholders of Banco Comercial Português totalled 174,168. The Bank's shareholder structure continues extremely dispersed, where merely five Shareholders own qualifying stakes (over 2% of the share capital) and only one Shareholder holds a stake above 5%. Particular reference should be made to the increased weight of Companies, which accounted for 36.6% of the share capital in 2013.

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

GLOBAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the rate of global growth remained moderate in 2013, reflecting the loss of vitality of the emerging economies, as a result of cyclical constraints and the persistence of structural imbalances, and anaemic growth recorded in the developed countries, in a scenario of widespread fiscal restrictions, whose adverse effects on the progress of economic activity were only partially mitigated by the maintenance of extremely accommodative monetary policies by the main central banks.

In the euro zone, in spite of the recessive cycle having been halted in the second quarter of 2013, the performance of its constituent economies remained asymmetric. The unequal transmission of monetary policy translated into a restrictive factor in the economic upturn of the periphery, still in a context of public and private overindebtedness. In this regard, the establishment of the Banking Union in 2014 should prove beneficial to the evolution of credit and to the sustainability of the economic recovery. Notwithstanding the prospects of increased robustness of the financial system and of gradual recovery of

activity during 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to maintain, or possibly strengthen, the accommodative nature of its monetary policy, especially in the event of an aggravation of deflationary risks.

Throughout 2013, the US economy recorded a slowdown in relation to the previous year, in a context of political friction related to the modality and magnitude of the fiscal consolidation in course. Even so, productive activity continued supported, above all, by private consumption, which benefited from the recovery of the labour market and the appreciation of residential property, in an environment where mortgage interest rates remained at historically low levels. For 2014, the IMF forecasts an acceleration of GDP, with the main risk for this scenario of economic recovery resting on the reaction of the real estate market to the expected gradual reduction of the asset purchase programme the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced in December 2013.

In 2014, the challenges to global growth are primarily related to the potentially adverse impact on the global financial system arising from the expected reduction of the level of accommodation of the Fed's monetary policy, combined with the predicted cooling of the Chinese economy. Even so, the IMF foresees an acceleration of world GDP from 3.0% to 3.7%.

GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS

The performance of financial markets in 2013 was marked by a reduction of volatility and greater appeal of the riskier asset classes, associated with the widespread prevalence of expansionary monetary policies. North American stock indices appreciated by around 30%, near 10% above the analogous European indices, EuroStoxx 50 and DAX. The increase by over 50% of the Japanese Nikkei 225 index was the highlight of world stock markets.

In the debt markets, the rise in the yields of government bonds of countries perceived as safe havens was the outcome of the expectations that the Fed could remove its liquidity injection programme, in view of the improved activity

indicators of most advanced economies. In the euro zone, the sovereign risk premiums of peripheral countries fell in a context where Ireland and Spain successfully concluded their financial assistance programmes and European integration was strengthened by the steps taken towards the creation of a banking union. Also in the euro zone, the reduction of excess liquidity in the banking system, embodied in the early repayment of part of the liquidity injected under the long term refinancing operations (LTRO) of 2011 and 2012, was reflected in an upward pressure on interest rates in money markets and on the euro, which reached new highs against the yen since 2008 and against the dollar since 2009.

Another highlight of the foreign exchange market refers to the currencies of various emerging markets, especially those with balance of payment deficits which, in view of the prospects of the Fed's change of monetary policy, depreciated heavily over the year.

OUTLOOK FOR THE PORTUGUESE ECONOMY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE BANKING BUSINESS

The structural adjustment process underway since the request for financial assistance made by the Portuguese government in May 2011 continued to be the main determinant of the pace of economic activity throughout 2013. Portuguese GDP contracted once again, albeit at a lower rate than observed in the previous year. This is explained by the more benign evolution of domestic demand (after the strong decline recorded in 2012), combined with the continued positive contribution of net exports. Among the GDP components that most influenced this performance it is worth highlighting, on the demand side, private consumption, which was boosted by the reversal of the declining trend of disposable income, and on the supply side, the milder fall of construction and the moderation of the rate of contraction of industrial activity.

For 2014, forecasts point to the maintenance of the path of recovery of the Portuguese economy supported by the prospects of robust external demand and the progressive improvement of domestic activity. However, the levels of uncertainty remain high, reflecting, on the one hand, doubts as to the conditions under which the Portuguese treasury will fund itself after the end of the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme (PAEF), which is scheduled for the end of the second quarter; and, on the other hand, the risks of slowdown of external demand, in a context of expected moderate growth of the world economy and existence of risks of deterioration of conditions in international financial markets, which have been underpinned by policies of a high degree of monetary accommodation.

The evolution of the banking system throughout 2013 was also persistently constrained by the implementation of the PAEF and the maintenance of a context of fragmented European markets. Notwithstanding the fact that the results remained negative in 2013, the Portuguese banking system strengthened its solvency ratios to levels above the regulatory minimum (10%) via recapitalisation operations, using public and private capital, and through policies of selective reduction of exposure to risk.

The balance sheet restrictions, cost of capital and strong perception of risk, as well as the clear fall in demand for credit with normal risk levels, led to a reduction of the credit granted during 2013 at a rate similar to that observed in 2012. At the same time, there was an increase in the weight of domestic deposits, conferring greater stability to the bank's financing structure. In 2013, central bank funds remained relatively stable in relation to the previous years, essentially reflecting the maintenance of strong restrictions in the access to the interbank market. The decline of credit and sustained deposits gave rise to the convergence of the loan-to-deposit ratio to close to the informal goal of 120%.

The profitability of the banking sector was under pressure due to the reduction of net interest income and increased total impairments. The context of low interest rates negatively affected net interest income, in spite of the effort to cut the costs of deposits and ensure more appropriate lending rates according to the credit and liquidity risk of the operation. The reduction of operating income supplanted the reduction of operating costs, leading to a deterioration of the efficiency ratios.

The preliminary signs of improvement of the economic environment proved insufficient to reverse the upward trend of overdue loans, with special incidence in the corporate segment. In view of this fact, credit risk coverage levels were reinforced.

An agreement was reached in 2013 in relation to the Banking Union project, which foresees stronger regulatory requirements, institutes greater harmonisation of the regulatory and supervisory framework in the euro area, and establishes specific mechanisms for the resolution and recovery of banks, with the main objective of fostering the reintegration of European financial markets and decreasing the perverse effects derived from the existing strong interconnection between sovereign risk and the risk of the banking system.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

During the first half of 2013, the Polish economy recorded sluggish growth as a result of the deterioration of the situation in the labour market and weaker investment, the latter hurt by the reduction of infrastructure projects, following the budget consolidation process. During the second half of the year, the improvement of the confidence of economic agents, encouraged by the stabilisation of employment and low real interest rates, led to a revival of economic activity, which the IMF estimates to have expanded by 1.3% as a whole for the year. An acceleration of GDP is expected for 2014, through the increased contribution of domestic demand. In the area of public accounts, the decrease of fiscal revenue at a rate higher than that estimated led to a higher fiscal deficit in 2013, but which, according to the IMF, should fall back in 2014, benefiting from the reform of social security. The absence of inflationary pressures gives the Polish central bank conditions to maintain the current expansionary monetary policy, associated with a historically low base rate of 2.5%.

In 2013, according to the IMF, the GDP growth rate of Romania increased to 2%, reflecting the strong performance of net exports and increased agricultural production. In 2014, the strengthening of private consumption, associated with reform of the labour market and the recovery of investment, enabled by the absorption of European Union funds directed towards infrastructure projects, should mitigate the adverse effects of maintaining the budget consolidation process. In this environment, the IMF foresees a stabilisation of economic growth in 2014. The reduction of inflation should enable maintaining the rate of change of the consumer price index within the range defined by the central bank (between 1.5% and 3.5%), creating conditions for monetary policy to continue accommodative in 2014.

The available estimates suggest that the rate of growth of the Mozambican economy continued robust in 2013 (7%) and higher than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa (5.1%). The increased production of the mining industry and the expansion of the financial sector contributed to this performance. The extraction of natural resources, especially coal and gas, has encouraged the entry of foreign capital into megaprojects, which should continue to drive the economy in 2014, although at the cost of a temporary aggravation of the trade balance deficit, due to the increased imports of investment goods. The effort required by the infrastructure investment plans for the next few years should increase the nominal values of debt, whose weight in GDP could, however, decline as a result of the expected high growth rates in the future. In 2013, after the sharp increase of agricultural prices following the floods of the beginning of the year, the return of inflation to levels consistent with the objective of the Banco de Moçambique, between 5% and 6%, allowed the monetary authority to intensify the downward cycle of interest rates.

The buoyancy of the Angolan economy, which the IMF estimates to have grown by 5.6% in 2013, continued to be strongly influenced by the performance of the oil sector, whose importance, both in terms of the trade balance surplus and fiscal revenues, makes the economy vulnerable to fluctuations in the price of crude in international markets. The non-oil sector continued to benefit from the stimulus

conferred by the growing flows of foreign capital and public investment, namely in infrastructures, whose shortcomings have constrained growth. Under this scenario, the IMF forecasts an acceleration of activity in 2014. Balanced public accounts and sustainability of public debt offer the ideal conditions for the issue of government bonds on the international primary market that is planned for 2014.

INFORMATION ON TRENDS

The continuation of the efforts made to adjust the imbalances accumulated over decades, consisting of the structural correction of public accounts and the balance of external accounts and of the reallocation of resources towards the tradable goods and service sectors, should continue to significantly constrain the Portuguese economy in 2014 and is an essential condition for the Portuguese economy to return to full access to market funding.

Recently disclosed indicators suggest that a gradual process of economic recovery is emerging. The projections for 2014 of various entities (Government, the Banco de Portugal, IMF and OECD) point to a moderate recovery in 2014. However, some uncertainty persists as to the possible impact of the new austerity measures contained in the State Budget for 2014 on household disposable income and domestic demand. Low inflationary pressures are observed, reflecting the sluggishness of internal demand, high unemployment, and wage moderation, as well as lower commodity and import prices.

The evolution of GDP, reduction of individual disposable income, higher unemployment and increased delinquency of companies has been reflected in the deterioration of the quality of the credit portfolio of Portuguese banks. The ratio of credit at risk should continue to increase, more so in credit to companies and less so in mortgage loans. In spite of the increased ratio of credit at risk, a progressive reduction should be observed in the cost of risk, as new entries into overdue credit net of recoveries decrease, implying lower endowments for impairment.

The volumes (loans + deposits) of banks, and in particular of BCP, should continue to fall, in a context of the deleveraging of non-financial sectors of the economy which leads to the reduction of demand for credit. At the same time, deposits should continue to increase, reflecting the confidence of customers in Portuguese banks associated to increased saving for reasons of precaution in view of future uncertainties as well as the transformation of off-balance sheet resources, showing customer choice for lower risk. As a result, the commercial gap should continue to narrow, gradually leading to a situation where the credit is almost entirely funded by balance sheet customer funds, thus dependence on ECB financing and improving BCP's liquidity position.

In spite of the prospects of a progressive opening of the IMM and financial markets, the Portuguese banks' use of Eurosystem financing should continue above the average of the euro zone in 2014. Once the constraints that prevent normal market functioning have been surpassed, there should be a progressive reduction of the use of ECB funding offset by debt issues in the WSF market. BCP expects to issue 2.5 billion euros on average per year during the period of 2014-17, which will be used to reduce the dependence on the funding obtained from the ECB.

The liquidity position of Portuguese banks has benefited from the action of the ECB, namely the cuts in reference rates, the system of alloting funds at fixed rates and meeting demand fully, adopted for the refinancing operations of the Eurosystem, further combined with the conduct of long term refinancing operations and measures with impact on collateral eligibility rules, conferring to Portuguese banks the capacity to manage their liquidity needs. The removal of these non-conventional measures of conducting monetary policy should be processed in a gradual and predictable manner, as market functioning becomes increasingly more normal.

The profitability of Portuguese banks is likely to remain weak in 2014, reflecting the reduction of net interest income, the negative effect in terms of level of business turnover and the evolution of impairments. The low interest rates that are currently observed affect the banks' profitability, in spite of the positive effect on impairments. The capacity to generate capital persists as one of the main challenges to the banking business in the medium term. Although BCP is forecast to reach break-even in Portugal during the 2nd half of 2014, its consolidated net income should be constrained by low interest rates, low volumes (credit + deposits), the cost of the CoCos, cost of the liability management operations carried out in 2011 and high impairments, partially offset by the reduction of spreads on term deposits, carry trade, net income of the international operations and cost cuts, as a result of the additional reduction of the number of branches and employees.

The entry into force of the Basel III rules in January 2014 will be reflected in stronger capital requirements and greater comprehensiveness of the risks covered. However, a transition period has been established for the new regulatory requirements which should enable this change to take place smoothly.

The new Basel III agreement, which entered into force on 1 January 2014, obliges that tax credit which depends on the existence of future profit in order to be used (in banking, deferred tax assets) should now be deducted from own funds, where only those where there is almost total assurance of their use or which have an economic value equal to their book value can be stated in the books as capital.

In Italy and Spain a solution has been found, in terms of the tax system, to minimise the effects on capital of the new Basel III rules concerning deferred tax assets. Based on an argument that could be applied to the Portuguese banking system in a rather similar fashion, in order to avoid competitive distortions, legislation on the matter is under preparation, with "an inter-institutional group having been created and being operational, entrusted with finding a suitable solution, similar to that already adopted in other Member States, which shall not have significant implications on public accounts and shall not leave Portuguese banks in a disadvantaged situation in relation to their European peers".

The implementation of the Single Supervisory Mechanism as part of the Banking Union project will imply a complete appraisal of the principal banks, covering around 85% of the banking system of the euro zone by the ECB, with a view to strengthening confidence in the strength and quality of bank balance sheets in the euro zone. This exercise will include three elements: risk assessment for supervisory purposes, analysis of asset quality so as to enhance transparency regarding the banks' exposure, and stress tests aimed at determining the resilience of bank balance sheets to adverse scenarios. This exercise should be concluded before the ECB takes up its supervisory duties in November 2014. Following this exercise, the ECB will proceed with a single and comprehensive disclosure of the results and any possible recommendations in terms of applicable supervisory measures.

VISION, MISSION AND STRATEGY

VISION AND MISSION

BCP's vision is to be 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, reflected in a commitment to an efficiency ratio at reference levels for the sector and with tighter discipline in capital, liquidity and cost management.

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 with profitability and sustainability, so as to provide an attractive return to Shareholders, in a manner supporting and strengthening its strategic autonomy and corporate identity.

STRATEGY

In September 2012, BCP presented a Strategic Plan composed of three phases for the period 2012-2017. During the 1st phase, which took place from 2012 to 2013, the principal priority was reinforcing the balance sheet, through improved liquidity and solvency levels.

During the 2nd phase, the Bank intends to ensure the creation of conditions for growth and profitability, through recovery of profitability in Portugal and the continued development of its core business in Poland, Mozambique and Angola. The recovery of profitability in Portugal will be carried out via three drivers: i) Increase in core income, through higher margins on assets via recomposition of the credit portfolio, reduction of interest paid and improvement of fees and commissions; ii) Enhanced operating efficiency instituted through reduction of size and administrative reorganisation; and iii) Adoption of strict limits in risk-taking, which will enable lowering credit default through divestment in the non-core portfolio and macroeconomic stabilisation.

Finally, the 3rd phase, to be developed during 2016 and 2017, covers the sustainable growth of net income, through an improved balance between the contributions of the domestic and international operations.

Financial Information

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

The Annual Liquidity Plan for 2013 assumed the maintenance of a comfortable liquidity buffer during the year, through the control of market financing needs, based on higher levels of customer deposits, and an active management of the portfolio of eligible assets in the European Central Bank.

The reduction of the commercial gap (measured by the difference between net loans to customers and customer deposits) by Euro 5.4 billion contributed to the decrease of funding needs during 2013, reflecting the impact of measures taken by the Bank to increase customer deposits, as well as the effect of weak demand for credit by the economic agents.

The referred amount, materially above medium-long term debt refinanced through the year (Euro 1.1 billion), funded the increase of the portfolios of private and public debt and the early redemption, in the first quarter of 2013, of a Long Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO) tranche of Euro 1.0 billion, from a total of Euro 12.0 billion, bringing additional flexibility to short-term treasury management.

The management of eligible collateral at the Eurosystem included, as foreseen, the early redemption of a Euro 1.75 billion issue guaranteed by the State, which was withdrawn from the portfolio in the second quarter of 2013. On 18 July 2013, the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) announced the adoption, in the fourth quarter of 2013, of new "haircut" schedules, in particular for marketable assets, determining materially unfavourable impacts, but even so the liquidity buffer amounted to Euro 9.9 billion at the end of 2013.

It is also worth mentioning the deposit-raising activity from international financial institutions, the renewal of some medium-long term loans and the return to the short-term markets at the year-end, through repo transactions with international financial institutions.

CAPITAL

Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal then authorised the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. As from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for "Corporates" exposures in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. On 31 December 2013 the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of the IRB method to the real estate promotion segment, as well as the adoption of own estimation of LGD for the "Corporates" exposures in Portugal. In the first half of 2009, the Bank received authorisation from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal model) for generic market risk and the standard method for operational risk.

The consolidated Core Tier I ratio, calculated in accordance with Bank of Portugal rules, reached 13.8% as at 31 December 2013, showing an increase of 140 basis points compared to 12.4% as reported at 31 December 2012 and above the minimum threshold defined by the Bank of Portugal (10%).

This performance was determined by the decrease in risk weighted assets (9.34 billion euros), notwithstanding the decrease registered in Core Tier 1 (539 million euros), mainly reflecting the following effects:

  • The sale of the operation in Greece in June 2013 contributed with +88 basis points to Core Tier 1 ratio (CT1), leading to a reduction in risk weighted assets (3.85 billion euros), which more than offset the negative impact associated with the first semester's consolidated net income (41 million euros);
  • The sale, in October, of the investment in Piraeus Bank, as part of the sale process of the subsidiary in Greece, added 16 basis points in the CT1 ratio, corresponding to the positive result achieved with this operation (87 million euros);
  • The synthetic securitisation operation made in June 2013 added +40 basis points to the CT1 ratio, arising from the savings in risk weighted assets posted at the end of 2013 (1.66 billion euros);
  • The revoking, in 2013, of the prudential filter that required the deduction of the positive gap, on an individual basis, between the regulatory provisions of the Bank of Portugal's notice no. 3/95 and the IFRS impairments, for standardised exposures, resulted in +12 basis points on the CT1 ratio, reflecting the increases in Core Tier 1 (84 million euros) and in risk weighted assets (177 million euros);
  • The decrease of the deductions associated with deposits with high interest rates provided a gain of 13 basis points on the CT1 ratio, related to the increase of Core Tier 1 (71 million euros);
  • The extension of the IRB method to the real estate promotion segment, as well as the adoption of own estimates of LGD for the "Corporates" exposures in Portugal, with effects as from 31 December 2013, added 76 basis points to the CT1 ratio, due to the decrease in risk weighted assets (3.08 billion euros);
  • The impacts regarding the negative net income in 2013, excluding the previously mentioned operations, the change in minority interests, the impacts associated with the pension fund after taxes, the exchange rate variations, and other reserves and prudential filters, on the one hand, and the decrease in the risk weighted assets from the activity, influenced by the deleveraging and by the optimisation efforts (-936 million euros), on the other, had a unfavourable effect of 105 basis points on the CT1 ratio.

In parallel, the Core Tier 1 ratio, determined in accordance with EBA criteria reached 10.8% as at 31 December 2013, comparing favourably with the 9.8% ratio recorded as at 31 December 2012 and exceeded the defined minimum limit of 9%.

Core Tier 1 of EBA is based on Core Tier 1 calculated according to Bank of Portugal's criteria, adjusted by the impact of the following items: i) deduction of 50% of both the value of significant investments held in shareholdings and the impairment shortfall in comparison to the expected losses of the exposures treated under IRB methodologies; and ii) the capital buffer set by EBA with reference to 30 September 2011 to cover sovereign risks, adjusted by the provisioning undertaken subsequently within the scope of the restructuring of the Greek public debt.

On 22 July 2013, EBA issued a recommendation which establishes the preservation, in absolute value, of the necessary capital to the fulfilment of a minimum 9% ratio previously foreseen, with reference to the capital requirements as at 30 June 2012, including the same capital buffer for sovereign exposures, to ensure an adequate transition to the minimum capital requirements imposed by the CRD IV/CRR.

This recommendation foresees some exceptions, in particular for the institutions under a restructuring and gradual orderly deleveraging plan, for which the minimum nominal capital could be set, taking as reference a later date for capital requirements, upon request made to the Bank of Portugal and after obtaining the proper authorisation. Within this framework, Millennium bcp has made, in due time, this request to the Bank of Portugal.

The excess Core Tier 1 resulting from the application of the new recommendation of capital preservation as at 31 December 2013, assuming as reference to the calculation of the mentioned excess the capital requirements calculated at the end of 2013, was 805 million euros, reflecting the performance of EBA's Core Tier 1 ratio.

RESULTS AND BALANCE SHEET

The consolidated Financial Statements were prepared under the terms of Regulation (EC) nr. 1606/2002, of 19 July, in accordance with the reporting model determined by the Banco de Portugal (Banco de Portugal Notice nr. 1/2005), following the transposition into Portuguese law of Directive nr. 2003/51/EC, of 18 June, of the European Parliament and Council in the versions currently in force.

The consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable between 2013, 2012 and 2011, as a result of the sale to Piraeus Bank of the entirety of the share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, concluded in June 2013. In the context of this divestment operation of Millennium bank in Greece, Millennium bcp participated in the rights issue of Piraeus Bank, under the Greek bank recapitalisation programme, with the participation of the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund. Millennium bcp proceeded with the early total divestment of its shareholding in Piraeus Bank in October 2013, through accelerated placement with institutional investors. With this operation, Millennium bcp was no longer exposed to the Greek market, at an earlier time than had been established, enabling the strengthening of focus on the defined strategic plan.

Following the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, concluded on 19 June 2013, in accordance with the general conditions announced in due time, and pursuant to IFRS 5, Millennium bank in Greece was classified as a discontinued operation during 2013, with the impact on earnings from operations being presented on a separate line item in the income statement under "discontinued operations". In this context, pursuant to the aforesaid standard, the income statement as at 31 December 2012 was restated and, for comparative purposes, also that of 2011. Regarding the consolidated balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Greece were not stated as at 31 December 2013, however, their statement as at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 has not been altered. This fact should be taken into account for comparative effects.

Furthermore, in view of the commitment signed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp) relative to the Bank's restructuring plan, in particular the mediumterm divestment of the operation held by Millennium bcp in Romania and the implementation of a new approach in the investment fund management business, the activities of Millennium bank in Romania and Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos have also been presented under the line of "discontinued operations". The income statement as at 31 December 2012 has been restated and, for comparative purposes, also that of 2011. Regarding the consolidated balance sheet, the statement of the assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Romania and Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos has not been altered in view of the criteria considered in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2012 and 2011.

Notwithstanding the above, in order to offer a clearer understanding of the evolution of the Group's financial statements, only for the effect of this analysis, various balance sheet indicators have also been presented on a comparable basis, i.e., excluding the operations under discontinuation, in particular Millennium bank in Romania and Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos, hereafter simply referred as "discontinued operations".

At the end of 2011, in view of the agreement signed between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the banking employees unions for the transfer to the General Social Security Scheme of the liabilities related to pensions for retired employees and other pensioners, the Bank decided, prior to this transfer, to change the accounting policy associated with the recognition of actuarial deviations.

Following the analysis of the alternatives permitted by the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 - Employee Benefits, the Group decided to begin to recognise actuarial deviations for the year against reserves. Previously, the Group had deferred actuarial deviations in accordance with the corridor method, where unrecognised actuarial gains and losses exceeding 10% of the greater value between the present value of the liabilities and the fair value of the Fund's assets were recognised against profit or loss, according to the estimated remaining working life of active employees.

In 2013, Millennium bcp pursued the effort of adjustment of its balance sheet structure to the new regulatory and market requirements, having achieved a reduction of the commercial gap through loans granted and increased balance sheet customer funds. The operating conditions of Millennium bcp were negatively affected by the high level of credit impairment charges, as a result of the materialisation of credit risk and higher cost of funding, especially caused by the effect of the recourse to public investment and the effort to reduce the commercial gap, despite reduction of the average cost of customer deposits.

The use of public investment, notwithstanding the Bank's recapitalisation process in force since 2008 that provided unprecedented capitalisation levels, resulted from the deterioration of the macroeconomic situation in Portugal and in Greece, from the impact of the partial transfer of liabilities related to pensions to the General Social Security System, from impairments constituted in 2012 under the SIP (Special Inspection Programme), from the persistent restricted access of banks to funding markets and from new regulatory requirements imposed by the Banco de Portugal and the European Banking Authority (EBA).

Total assets stood at 82.007 billion euros at 31 December 2013, compared with 89.744 billion euros at 31 December 2012. The portfolio of loans to customers, before loan impairment and on a comparable basis, reached a total 59.734 billion euros at 31 December 2013, compared with 61.715 billion euros at 31 December 2012, driven by a contraction of loans to companies and individuals. This evolution was influenced by the reduction in demand, notwithstanding the focus on support and funding attributed to the more productive segments of the national economy.

Total customer funds increased, on a comparable basis, to 64.260 billion euros at 31 December 2013, from 63.936 billion euros recorded at 31 December 2012, benefiting from the performance of balance sheet customer funds, in particular customer deposits that continued to be the main source of funding of the activity. At the same time, total customer funds were favourably influenced by the increase in off balance sheet funds, due to the positive performance of assets under management.

Net income was negative by 740.5 million euros in 2013, compared with the negative net income of 1.219 billion euros reported in 2012, influenced above all by a high level of impairment charges in the activity in Portugal.

PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS

Net Income

Millennium bcp's 2013 net income was negative by 740.5 million euros, comparing favourably with the negative net income of 1.219 billion euros recorded in 2012, benefiting from a strategy of reduction of exposure to the activity developed in Greece, despite the decrease in net interest income, constrained by higher interest costs associated with the issue of hybrid financial instruments, and in net trading income, influenced by lower gains related to Portuguese sovereign debt securities, by losses associated with the sale of credit operations and by the recognition in 2012 of income related to the repurchase of Bank's own debt securities.

Profitability was impacted, in both financial years, by the level of impairment and provisions charges, and by a series of significant adverse factors, in particular during 2013 (net of taxes, considering the marginal tax rate): i) the impact on net interest income of the interest cost associated with the issue of hybrid financial instruments (184.3 million euros) and liability management operations carried out in 2011 (131.9 million euros); ii) the recognition of costs related to the restructuring programme (86.6 million euros); iii) the impacts related to the exceptional tax contribution on the banking sector, the deposit guarantee fund and the initial and regular contributions to the resolution fund, introduced in 2013 (50.9 million euros); iv) the effects on commissions of the cost of the Portuguese State guarantee for the Bank's debt issues (41.2 million euros); v) the recognition of negative net income from discontinued

Income arising from discontinued operations

operations (45.0 million euros); vi) the losses recognised in the sale of credit operations (40.7 million euros). The net income for 2013 also includes the positive impact associated with net trading income related to the divestment of the shareholding in Piraeus Bank (114.8 million euros).

Net income for 2012 incorporated the following adverse factors, net of taxes, considering the marginal tax rate: i) the effect on net interest income of 138.7 million euros, related to costs of liability management operations undertaken in 2011, and of 95.8 million euros, related to the issue of hybrid instruments underwritten by the Portuguese State; (ii) the costs related to the restructuring programme

and early retirement of 49.2 million euros; iii) the cost of 49.1 million euros of commissions associated with the issue of debt securities guaranteed by the Portuguese State. The consolidated net income of 2012 also incorporated the following positive impacts: i) the recognition of capital gains of 130.9 million euros, generated by the repurchase of Bank's own debt securities; ii) gains of 75.2 million euros associated with Portuguese sovereign debt securities held; iii) the favourable effect of 45.4 million euros of the legislative change related to mortality allowance.

The evolution of net income for 2013, when compared with 2012, was constrained, above all, by the activity in Portugal, penalised by the performance of economic activity that affected the income and confidence levels of

companies and households, despite early signs of recovery of some economic indicators. Hence, on a quarterly basis, operating results, throughout 2013, recorded a positive evolution, excluding restructuring costs recognised in the fourth quarter, benefiting from the performance of net operating revenues and the continued effort of restraint and reduction of operating costs.

The performance of net income in the activity in Portugal essentially reflected the behaviour of net interest income and net trading income, despite a lower level of impairment and provisions charges and the reduction of operating costs, following the initiatives that have been implemented aimed at higher operating efficiency, in particular through restraint and rationalisation of costs and administrative reorganisation, in particular the simplification of the organisation, improvement of processes and optimisation of the commercial network in accordance with the new paradigm of customer consumption and demand for banking services.

The contribution of international activity to the consolidated net income for 2013 (excluding the impacts of the operations in Greece and Romania) increased by 6.5% from 2012, having benefited from the evolution of net income recorded by Bank Millennium in Poland, Banco Millennium Angola and Millennium Banque Privée in Switzerland, arising from the positive performance of net operating revenues, efficiency gains achieved in Poland and Switzerland, and lower impairment levels recognised in Poland and Angola.

Bank Millennium in Poland recorded a net income of 127.1 million euros in 2013, an increase of 12.4% from the 113.1 million euros recognised in 2012 (+13.5% in zlotys). This was driven by the favourable performance of core income, since net interest income, benefiting from higher margin on customer deposits, and commissions, in particular from investment funds and bancassurance, increased by 5.1% and 7.8% year-on-year respectively (in zlotys). Moreover, operating costs decreased (-2.8%), which led to improved operating efficiency, and the impairment level also showed a reduction (-1.7%).

Millennium bim in Mozambique showed a net income growth of 9.2% (in meticais) from 2012 (equivalent to +7.2 million euros, excluding foreign exchange effect), although net income in euros remained identical to that of the previous year (85.5 million euros for the two financial years), penalised by the devaluation of the metical. The increased net income was associated with a higher core income, in particular from card commissions and interest income from loans to customers (driven by volume growth), as well as to the impact of sale of real estate and to the insurance activity results, which were only partially mitigated by the impact that the expansion plan had in operating costs and by the lower level of net trading income.

Banco Millennium Angola recorded an increase in net income from 37.3 million euros in 2012 to 40.8 million euros in 2013, reflecting the performance of net operating revenues, in particular commissions and, in kwanzas, net interest income, and a lower impairment level despite increased operating costs arising from the expansion plan underway.

Millennium Banque Privée in Switzerland recorded net income growth to 6.1 million euros in 2013, compared with 2.5 million euros in 2012. This growth was influenced by the positive performance of commissions and by savings achieved in other administrative costs, in spite of the evolution of net interest income associated with the environment of declining interest rates and to the loan portfolio deleveraging process.

Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands reported net income of 11.4 million euros in 2013, lower than the 14.7 million euros achieved in 2012, due to the unfavourable performance of net interest income, associated with the balance sheet reduction, and loan impairment recognition, which offset the positive trend in commissions.

Banca Millennium in Romania recorded negative net income of 5.9 million euros in 2013, compared with a loss of 23.8 million euros in 2012, having benefited from the reduction of the cost of risk, savings in operating costs, in particular in other administrative costs, from the performance of net operating revenues, in particular net interest income, driven by higher loan volumes and lower term deposits cost, and from the higher level of income related to deferred taxes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income stood at 848.1 million euros in 2013, compared with 998.0 million euros in 2012, influenced by the increased interest cost related to the issue of hybrid financial instruments underwritten by the Portuguese State (CoCos) at the end of the first half of 2012, which reached 269.0 million euros in 2013 (134.9 million euros in 2012).

The evolution of net interest income reflected both the negative volume effect of 99 million euros, driven by lower business volumes, and the negative interest rate effect of 59 million euros, penalised by continued historically low market interest rates.

Following lower demand for loans by households and companies, the performance of net interest income was penalised by contraction of the loan portfolio, between 2012 and 2013, despite the continued implementation of initiatives focused on stimulating the granting of loans to economically viable projects, such as the support to companies in access to agreed credit facilities aimed at encouraging investment, the strengthening of installed capacity and entrepreneurial activity. The increased balance of customer deposits over 2013, which led to a reduction of the commercial gap and an improvement of the loan-to-deposit ratio reflected the focus on the strengthening of stable balance sheet funds.

The reduction of the interest rate of the portfolio of customer loans negatively influenced net interest income, despite the effort to adjust the pricing of contracted credit operations in accordance with customer risk profiles and the reduction of the interest rate of the portfolio of financial assets, which were, to a large extent, offset by the positive impact from a lower cost of customer deposits, where it is worth highlighting the decrease of 125 basis points in the interest rate of term deposits between 2012 and 2013, reflecting the continuous focus on lowering the cost of funding.

Net interest income Cost of hybrid financial instruments (CoCos)

NET INTEREST INCOME Activity in Portugal

Million euros

The performance of net interest income in 2013 showed the evolution recorded in the activity in Portugal, constrained by the negative interest rate effect, in particular through the increased interest cost associated with the issue of hybrid financial instruments underwritten by the Portuguese State at the end of the first semester of 2012, which amounted to 269.0 million euros in 2013 (134.9 million euros in 2012), as well as through the lower interest rate of the loan portfolio, however neutralised by the reduction of the remuneration of customer term deposits. At the same time, the performance of net interest income in the activity in Portugal reflects the effect of unfavourable turnover levels, in particular the impact in operations with customers, driven by the persistence of an

adverse economic climate and by the continued adjustment process of household and company debt levels, leading to lower demand for credit.

The net interest income of the international activity in 2013 remained at approximately the same level as that observed in 2012, positively reflecting the growth of business volumes and negatively reflecting the adverse interest rate effect. The evolution of the net interest income of the operations abroad was influenced by the unfavourable foreign exchange effect at Millennium bim in Mozambique and Banco Millennium Angola, which annulled the growth recorded in local currency in these subsidiaries, as well as the increase achieved by the subsidiary in Poland.

The analysis of the balance sheet shows that average net assets decreased by 5.4% to 85.693 billion euros in 2013, from 90.629 billion euros in 2012. This reflected the evolution of interest earning assets, in particular the contraction of the average customer loans balance to 57.335 billion euros in 2013 (61.716 billion euros in 2012), notwithstanding the deceleration of the deleveraging process in relation to previous years, and the decrease of the average balance of deposits in credit institutions to 3.93 billion euros in 2013 (5.92 billion euros in 2012), despite the increase of the average balance of financial assets to 13.337 billion euros in 2013 (10.892 billion euros in 2012).

Average total interest bearing liabilities fell to 77.391 billion euros in 2013, from 79.721 billion euros recorded in 2012, reflecting the reduction of the average balance of issued debt and financial liabilities to 11.694 billion euros in 2013 (15.448 billion euros in 2012), influenced by the gradual replacement, on maturity, of bonds placed with customers by deposits, as well as by the repayment of medium and long term debt, and the reduction of the balance of credit institutions deposits to 14.491 billion euros in 2013 (16.889 billion euros in 2012), demonstrating the lower exposure to the European Central Bank. However, subordinated debt increased to 4.326 billion euros in 2013 (2.764 billion euros in 2012), determined by the issue of hybrid financial instruments underwritten by the Portuguese State, and the average balance of customer deposits grew to 46.880 billion euros in 2013 (44.620 billion euros in 2012), boosted by the focus on attracting and retaining stable balance sheet funds, in the context of the strategy to reduce the commercial gap and improve the loan-to-deposit ratio.

In the structure of the average balance sheet, discontinued operations were reclassified outside of the aggregate of interest earning assets, hence the average balance of interest earning assets shifted to 87.1% of average net assets in 2013 (86.6% in 2012). Despite the reduction of the loan portfolio recorded in 2013, loans to customers continued to be the main component of the asset portfolio, representing 66.9% of average net assets in 2013 (68.1% in 2012), while the portfolio of financial assets stood at 15.6% of average total net assets in 2013 (12.0% in 2012).

Regarding the structure of average interest bearing liabilities, customer deposits continued to be the main funding instrument for the loan granting activity, reinforcing their weight in average total interest bearing liabilities to 60.6% in 2013, compared with 56.0% in 2012. Customer deposits benefited from the commercial initiatives aimed at strengthening balance sheet customer funds. As funding source, customer deposits were followed by issued debt and financial liabilities, the weight of which fell to 15.1% of the average total balance of interest bearing liabilities in 2013 (19.4% in 2012) and by subordinated debt, whose weight in total interest bearing liabilities increased to 5.6% in 2013, compared with 3.5% in 2012. In turn, the performance of the average equity balance reflected the impact of the net income generated during 2013, notwithstanding the positive evolution of the fair value reserves.

The net interest margin stood at 1.12% in 2013, which compared with 1.25% in 2012, essentially influenced by the activity in Portugal, in particular by the increased funding cost arising from the impact of the issue of hybrid financial instruments in 2012. Hence, excluding the cost related to the CoCos, the net interest margin would have stood at 1.48% in 2013, compared with 1.42% in 2012. Analysis of the average balance sheet indicates a decline, between 2012 and 2013, of the average interest rates of the components directly associated with operations with customers. It should be highlighted that the impact of the reduction of the average interest rate of loans to customers was offset by the reduction of the average rate of customer deposits, while average interest rates related to subordinated debt and issued debt recorded an increase during the same period.

FACTORS INFLUENCING NET INTEREST INCOME

Other Net Income

Other net income, which aggregates income from equity instruments, net commissions, net trading income, other net operating income and equity accounted earnings, came to 921.2 million euros in 2013, corresponding to a decrease of 16.5% from 1.103 billion euros in 2012. The evolution of other net income, mainly associated with the activity in Portugal, was driven by the performance of net trading income.

Income from Equity Instruments

Income from equity instruments, which includes dividends received from investments in financial assets available for sale, stood at 3.7 million euros in 2013, compared with 3.8 million euros in 2012. Dividends recorded in both years correspond mainly to income associated with the Group's equity investments and to investment fund participation units.

Net Commissions

Net commissions amounted to 663.0 million euros in 2013, compared with 655.1 million euros in 2012. Net commissions included the cost related to the guarantee provided by the Portuguese State to the Bank's debt issues, in the amount of 60.1 million euros in 2013 and 69.2 million euros in 2012.

The performance of net commissions was particularly influenced by the international activity, supported by the favourable performance of the subsidiaries in Poland, Mozambique, Angola and Switzerland, since in Portugal their value fell by 3.6% from 2012.

Commissions more directly related to the banking business, reflecting the negative performance of the economy, were influenced by the lower level of commissions associated with loan operations and guarantees, in addition to commissions related to other banking services, despite increased commissions of the bancassurance business, card business and transfers.

Commissions associated with the card business and transfers stood at 181.1 million euros in 2013, compared with 178.4 million euros in 2012, reflecting increased income observed in the activity in Portugal and in the international activity, in particular in Mozambique and Angola. In Portugal, this evolution benefited from strong selling dynamics in credit, debit and prepaid cards of the Visa/MasterCard network, with the portfolio surpassing the milestone of three million cards, and from a 30% growth in sales of American Express cards.

Commissions related to loan operations and guarantees amounted to 154.5 million euros in 2013, compared with 170.2 million euros in 2012, penalised by lower demand for

credit by customers in the activity in Portugal, despite favourable evolution of the subsidiaries in Angola and Mozambique.

Bancassurance commissions, which include the commissions received for the placement of insurance products through the Bank's distribution networks in Portugal, recovered to 72.5 million euros in 2013, compared with 60.5 million euros in 2012.

Other commissions fell to 190.5 million euros in 2013, from 205.2 million euros reported in 2012, hindered by the performance of the activity in Portugal due to lower income from commissions of various banking services, reflecting the negative effect induced by legislative changes related to overdraft commissions.

Commissions related to financial markets stood at 124.5 million euros in 2013, compared with 110.0 million euros in 2012, reflecting the evolution of both

activity in Portugal and international activity, as a result of the more favourable circumstances in international financial markets.

Commissions associated with transactions on securities reached a total of 91.4 million euros in 2013 (83.7 million euros in 2012), reflecting the lower level of commissions related to structuring and placement in the activity in Portugal.

Commissions related to asset management came to 33.1 million euros in 2013, compared with 26.3 million euros in 2012. This evolution was determined by both the activity in Portugal and the international activity, in particular in Switzerland, Poland and Mozambique.

Net Trading Income

Net trading income, which includes net gains from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity, reached 264.2 million euros in 2013, compared with 436.7 million euros in 2012.

Net trading income accounted for 14.9% of net operating revenues in 2013, compared to 20.8% in 2012.

The evolution of net trading income was determined by the activity in Portugal, where it is worth highlighting, relative to 2012, the negative impacts related to the lower income

associated with Portuguese sovereign debt securities and the higher losses related to the sale of credit operations, despite the recording of gains in 2013 related to the divestment of the shareholding in Piraeus Bank, including appreciation of warrants associated with this holding, to the total amount of 167.6 million euros, thus completing the divestment process defined for the Greek market.

During 2012, under the process of capital structure management and activity funding, repurchases of the Bank's own debt issues were carried out which led to gains in the activity in Portugal of 184.3 million euros, calculated by the difference between the nominal value and repurchase value.

In the international activity, net trading income fell from 121.5 million euros in 2012 to 106.1 million euros in 2013, constrained by the performance of the operations in Poland and Mozambique, in both cases associated with lower gains in operations with securities, notwithstanding the higher earnings recorded by Banco Millennium Angola, boosted by the gains related to foreign exchange operations.

Other Net Operating Income

Other net operating income, which aggregates other operating income, other income from non-banking activities and gains from the sale of subsidiaries and other assets, recorded net losses of 71.9 million euros in 2013, compared with losses of 47.8 million euros in the previous year, reflecting mainly the evolution of net losses in the revaluation/divestment of other assets, mostly real estate properties.

The evolution of other net operating income was mainly determined by the activity in Portugal, penalised by the net losses in the revaluation/divestment of other assets of 44.8 million euros (27.1 million euros in 2012) and by the initial and regular contributions to the resolution fund introduced in 2013 (13.2 million euros in 2013). Other net operating income of the activity in Portugal also included the negative impact of the exceptional tax contribution on the banking sector of 30.9 million euros in 2013, which showed a reduction from the 33.9 million euros recorded in 2012.

Equity Accounted Earnings

Equity accounted earnings, which include the results appropriated by the Group associated with the consolidation of entities where the Group, despite having significant influence, does not exercise control over their financial and operational policies, amounted to 62.2 million euros in 2013, compared with 55.6 million euros in 2012.

Equity accounted earnings showed a positive evolution in 2013 from the previous year as a consequence of increased earnings in the activities developed in the areas of renting, venture capital and banking. The performance of Millenniumbcp Ageas in 2013, lower than in the previous year, was driven by the aggravation of the loss ratio in some business lines, caused by adverse weather factors, despite positive operational performance, both in Life and Non-Life business, and cost control throughout the year.

Operating Costs

Operating costs, which aggregate staff costs, other administrative costs and depreciation for the year, stood at 1.295 billion euros in 2013 (1.32 billion euros in 2012). On a comparable basis, operating costs fell by 10.6% in 2013, from 2012.

The evolution of operating costs included the following impacts: i) the positive effect of the legislative change related to the mortality allowance, of 7.5 million euros in 2013 (64.0 million euros in 2012); ii) the recording of costs associated with early retirement and contract termination through mutual agreement under the restructuring programme, of 126.5 million euros in 2013 (69.3 million euros in 2012).

Also recognised in 2011 were the costs associated with the partial transfer of the liabilities related to pensions for retired employees and other pensioners to Social Security of 164.8 million euros, the reversal of provisions related to the pension fund of former members of the Executive Board of Directors and the complementary plan for employees of 48.3 million euros.

Excluding these impacts, the reduction of operating costs benefited from the 12.8% cut in staff costs and 8.8% cut in other administrative costs, as a result of the initiatives that have been implemented in the Group towards the rationalisation and restraint of costs and the adjustment of installed capacity to the lower demand for banking services in Portugal, in particular through the resizing of the branch network and total staff numbers.

In the activity in Portugal operating costs, excluding the impacts mentioned above, fell by 15.1% relative to 2012. This evolution was supported by lower staff costs (-17.6%) and other administrative costs (-12.2%), benefiting from the impact of the previously mentioned initiatives, as well as the lower level of depreciation for the year (-5.4%), in particular depreciation related to IT equipment and interior facilities.

In the international activity, operating costs were cut by 1.9% to 442.4 million euros in 2013, compared with 451.1 million euros in 2012, benefiting from the reduction of costs achieved by the subsidiary in Poland and the effect of the devaluation of the Mozambican currency, which more than offset the increases observed in local currency in

The consolidated cost to income ratio, excluding specific items, stood at 66.5% in 2013, which compared with 62.6% in 2012, penalised by the performance of income, despite the positive performance of the operating cost component, underpinned by the implementation of various initiatives with a view to strict cost control and improved operating efficiency. The cost to income ratio of the activity in Portugal stood at 80.9% in 2013, compared with 68.9% in 2012, influenced by the lower total income for 2013, whose effect was proportionately higher than that of the reduction in operating costs, while in the international activity this ratio stood at 51.3% in 2013 (53.3% in 2012), benefiting from increased income.

Staff Costs

Staff costs amounted to 767.5 million euros in 2013, compared with 751.5 million euros in 2012. Staff costs included the aforesaid specific impacts to the total amount of 116.8 million euros in 2013 and 5.3 million euros in 2012. Excluding these impacts, staff costs would have fallen by 12.8% to stand at 650.6 million euros in 2013 (746.1 million euros in 2012).

In the activity in Portugal, staff costs reached a total of 549.4 million euros in 2013 (530.1 million euros in 2012). However, excluding the specific impacts mentioned above, totally recognised in the activity in Portugal, there was a decrease of 17.6%, largely influenced by the lower expenses associated with NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

remunerations and social security charges from the previous year. In the activity in Portugal, staff costs benefited from the restructuring programme, implemented in 2012, aimed at optimising resources and simplifying structures. By the end of 2013, excluding discontinued operations, the total number of employees reached 8,555 compared with 8,950 employees at the end of 2012 and 9,925 employees at the end of 2011.

In the international activity, staff costs reached a total of 218.0 million euros in 2013, representing a decrease of 1.5% relative to the 221.3 million euros recorded in 2012. Excluding the employees allocated to discontinued operations, total staff numbers fell to 9,514 employees (9,558 employees at the end of 2012). Staff costs fell due to the reductions recorded by the subsidiaries in Poland and Mozambique. Staff costs in Poland were cut from the previous year, as a result of the reduction in the total number of employees. In Mozambique these costs decreased due to the foreign exchange effect, in spite of the expansion of the distribution network that also applied to Angola.

Other Administrative Costs

Other administrative costs fell by 8.8%, excluding specific items, to 457.5 million euros in 2013, from 501.8 million euros recorded in 2012. This decrease benefited from the reductions in all headings, in particular, due to the significance of the savings achieved in communications, rent and advertising.

The reduction of other administrative costs benefited from the 12.2% decrease in the activity in Portugal to 263.0 million euros in 2013, compared with 299.6 million euros in 2012, reflecting the lower expenses on advertising, communications, IT and rent. This performance was favourably influenced by the continued efforts to rationalise and restrain costs and by the resizing of the BRANCHES

In the international activity, other administrative costs stood at 194.5 million euros in 2013, compared with 202.2 million euros in 2012, reflecting the saving of expenditure related to rent, other supplies and services, maintenance and related services, and communications, despite the increase observed in advertising costs.

The evolution of other administrative costs in the international activity reflected the reduction shown in the operation in Poland, but also in Mozambique and Angola, due to the foreign exchange effect since these costs increased in terms of local currency, in the African countries, due to the expansion of the distribution network. This expansion was, however, attenuated by the reduction of the number of branches in the subsidiary in Poland, which, even so, led to a net increase in the branch network of the international activity, excluding discontinued operations, to 679 branches at the end of 2013 (675 branches at the end of 2012).

Depreciation for the Year

Depreciation for the year stood at 68.1 million euros in 2013, showing stabilisation from 2012, and having benefited from the reduction observed in the headings of IT equipment and interior facilities, offsetting the increase in real estate properties and software.

In the activity in Portugal, depreciation for the year fell by 5.4% relative to 2012, corresponding to a lower level of depreciation related to real estate and equipment, following the gradual end of the period of depreciation of investments.

In the international activity, depreciation increased by 8.2% from 2012, essentially as a result of the growth in depreciation for the year in the subsidiary companies in Angola and Mozambique. This evolution, despite the decrease of depreciation in the subsidiaries in Poland, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands, led to the increase of depreciation in international activity to 44% of the consolidated amount in 2013 (41% in 2012).

Loan Impairment and Credit Recoveries

Loan impairment (net of recoveries) totalled 820.8 million euros in 2013, compared with 969.6 million euros in 2012. This evolution was driven by the impact of the reinforcement of charges made in 2012, following the Onsite Inspections Programme (OIP), of 290.0 million euros, focused on the activity in Portugal (381.0 million euros in 2011 associated with the Special Inspections Programme - SIP).

Loan impairment charges (net of recoveries) recognised in 2013 reflected a slowdown in the rate of charges posted in the activity in Portugal, from 2012. This positively reflects the effect of the continued focus on the monitoring of risk control and management mechanisms, and negatively reflects the persistence of adverse economic

circumstances in Portugal, and consequent deterioration of the economic and financial situation of national households and companies.

In the international activity, a decrease of loan impairment (net of recoveries) was recorded, caused by the lower level of charges recognised in the operation in Poland.

The cost of risk, excluding discontinued operations, stood at 137 basis points in 2013, compared with 157 basis points in 2012.

Note: cost of risk adjusted from discontinued operations.

Other Impairment and Provisions

Other impairment and provisions aggregate the headings of charges for the impairment of other financial assets, for impairment of other assets, in particular repossessed assets arising from the termination of loan contracts with customers, for impairment of goodwill, as well as charges for other provisions.

Charges for other impairments and provisions amounted to 465.8 million euros in 2013, compared with 349.6 million euros in 2012. This evolution essentially reflects the reinforcement of charges in the activity in Portugal related to increased provisions for guarantees and other commitments, the recognition of impairment related to the investment made in Piraeus and the impairment of non-current assets held for sale (includes repossessed assets), despite the reduction of the level of impairment for other assets.

In the international activity, the evolution of other impairments and provisions, between 2012 and 2013, reflected increased charges shown by Bank Millennium in Poland, partially offset by a lower level of charges recorded in the subsidiaries in Angola and Mozambique.

Income Tax

Income tax (current and deferred) reached -210.8 million euros in 2013, compared with -132.1 million euros recorded in 2012.

Income tax included current tax costs of 115.7 million euros in 2013 (81.2 million euros in 2012), net of deferred tax income of 326.4 million euros (213.3 million euros in 2012).

The deferred tax income recognised in 2013 refers mainly to the impairment losses that are not deductible for purposes of calculation of taxable profit.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests included the part attributable to third parties of the net income of the subsidiary companies consolidated under the full method in which the Group does not hold, directly or indirectly, the entirety of their share capital.

Non-controlling interests essentially reflected the net income attributable to third parties related to the shareholdings held in the share capital of Bank Millennium in Poland, Millennium bim in Mozambique and Banco Millennium Angola, standing at 93.7 million euros in 2013, compared with 81.8 million euros recorded in 2012. This evolution was determined by the performance of the net income of Bank Millennium in Poland and Banco Millennium Angola.

REVIEW OF THE BALANCE SHEET

The macroeconomic scenario in Portugal during 2013 was characterised by a less gloomy performance of economic activity, arising from the buoyancy shown by exports and trend of stabilisation of domestic demand, in a context of gradual recovery of confidence levels of economic agents, in spite of the budget consolidation process in progress. In the euro zone, the public debt risk premiums of "peripheral" countries contracted significantly, in a context where Ireland and Spain successfully concluded their financial assistance programmes and where it is expected that European integration will strengthen with the steps taken towards the creation of a Banking Union. The European Central Bank (ECB) decided to cut its reference rate to 0.25%, in this way mitigating the upward effect on short term interest rates arising from the early repayment of part of the liquidity assigned under the long term refinancing operations (LTRO). Concerning Portuguese banks, particular note should be made of the downward trend of using the liquidity provided by ECB throughout 2013.

During 2013, Millennium bcp reduced its commercial gap, measured by the difference between net credit and customer deposits, which contributed to lower funding needs, reflecting the impact of a series of initiatives started up by the Bank with a view to increasing customer deposits. This improvement in the commercial gap, higher than the refinanced value of medium-long term debt, boosted the growth of the portfolios of public and private debt and reduction of net funds taken from the ECB. The management of eligible collateral at the Eurosystem enabled the early redemption of an own issue of the Bank guaranteed by the State of 1.75 billion euros.

As at 31 December 2013, total assets stood at 82.007 billion euros, compared with 89.744 billion euros stated as at 31 December 2012, essentially influenced by the divestment of Millennium bank in Greece in June 2013 and by the reduction of the loan portfolio arising from lower credit demand.

Loans and advances to customers, before loans impairment, fell by 9.9%, to stand at 60.222 billion euros as at 31 December 2013 (representing 73% of total assets), compared with 66.861 billion euros recorded at the end of the previous year, where, excluding the effect of the loan portfolio associated to the operations in Greece and Romania, recognised under the heading of discontinued operations, loans

to customers decreased by 3.2%. Indeed, the reduction of loans occurred at a relatively moderate rate, mainly reflecting the continued process of reduction of household and company debt levels, the limited private investment and consequent contraction of demand for credit, in a context of uncertainty about economic and financial circumstances.

The portfolio of securities, which represents 16.7% of total assets, decreased in terms of financial assets held to maturity and financial assets held for trading, with a slight increase having been observed in assets available for sale. In fact, the financial assets held to maturity fell by 12.9%, to stand at 3.110 billion euros as at 31 December 2013 (3.569 billion euros at the end of 2012), reflecting the lower exposure to debt securities of other issuers, following the redemption of bonds of domestic and foreign private issuers. On the other hand, the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale contracted as a whole to 10.617 billion euros as at 31 December 2013 (10.914 billion euros at the end of 2012), mainly due to the effect of the reduction of the portfolio of trading derivatives, offset by the strengthening of the portfolio of assets available for sale, in particular participation units.

Total liabilities fell by 8.2%, to stand at 78.731 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 85.744 billion euros at the end of 2012, largely influenced by: (i) the 32.1% reduction of debt securities issued, reflecting the gradual replacement, upon maturity, of bonds placed with customers by deposits, the repayment of medium and long term debt and limitation of access to funding in wholesale debt markets; (ii) the 11.6% reduction of deposits of Central Banks and other credit institutions to a total of 13.493 billion euros as at 31 December 2013 (15.266 billion euros at the end of 2012), reflecting the lower exposure to ECB funding; (iii) the 37.6% reduction of liabilities held for trading to a total of 870 million euros as at 31 December 2013 (1.393 million euros at the end of 2012), reflecting the decline in the volumes of swaps and options trading. Customer deposits, excluding the effect of discontinued operations, increased by 5.2%, to stand at 48.595 million euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 46.181 million euros recorded at the end of 2012, as a result of the reinforcement of the commercial strategy focused on the retention and growth of balance sheet customer funds.

The Board of Directors verified, at the individual accounts level, a situation where share capital consumption is above 50%, which, without prejudice to the strength of the Bank as evidenced by the consolidated own funds, would lead, in the case share capital is not strengthened, to an analysis of alternative measures as foreseen on legal grounds, namely a change of the share capital amount.

Equity stood at 3.276 billion euros at the end of 2013, compared with 4.000 billion recognised as at 31 December 2012 (-724 million euros), influenced, above all, by the impact of negative net income for the year of 740 million euros, partially offset by the positive variation of fair value reserves of 20 million euros, mainly related to the public debt securities and securities of other issuers in the Bank's portfolio and the securities held by Millenniumbcp Ageas, corresponding to the 49.0% stake held by the Group in this associated company.

Loans to Customers

During 2013, credit demand by individuals decreased, reflecting low consumer confidence levels, the outlook of uncertainty regarding the residential property market and lower acquisition of durable goods. In spite of the growing demand by large companies for alternative funding sources to bank loans, Portuguese banks increased their financing of the most dynamic and competitive segments of the national economy and those less dependent on domestic demand, especially export-driven companies.

Throughout 2013, Millennium bcp continued to focus on offering integrated and innovative solutions to meet the funding LOANS AND ADVANCES TO CUSTOMERS (*) Million euros

needs of individual and company customers, in particular through the development of initiatives concerning consumer credit and access to agreed credit facilities to support loans to companies, with a view to stimulating the growth and funding of the economy.

On a comparable basis, loans and advances to customers, before impairment, fell by 3.2% to stand at 59.734 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, relative to the 61.715 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012. This evolution was determined by the reduction of the activity in Portugal (-4.7%), in spite of the increase in international activity (+2.9%) compared with the end of 2012, in Bank Millennium in Poland, Millennium bim in Mozambique and Banco Millennium Angola, which more than offset the reduction of the loan portfolio recorded in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.

The evolution of loans and advances to customers, on a comparable basis, was driven by the contraction observed both in terms of loans granted to individuals, which fell by 3.6% to stand at 29.937 billion euros, and loans granted to companies, which fell by 2,9% to stand at 29.797 billion euros as at 31 December 2013. This reflected the impact of the deterioration of the perception of households and companies concerning the economic environment, expressed in the contraction of investment in durable goods and consequent decreased demand for loans as well as the pursuit of efforts to reduce their high debt levels.

The reduction in loans to individual customers in 2013 shows a lower demand for mortgage loans, as a result of the reduction of household disposable income, caused by the impact of the government budget consolidation measures, while the retraction in loans to companies was essentially observed in the sectors exposed to lower domestic demand, especially in services linked to real estate and construction activities.

The structure of the customer loans portfolio maintained the same patterns of diversification between the end of 2012 and the end of 2013, with loans to companies representing 49.9% of total loans granted, while loans to individuals represented 50.1% of the portfolio of loans to customers.

Loans to individuals, on a comparable basis, stood at 29.937 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, having fallen by 3.6% in relation to the 31.040 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012. This was determined, above all, by the behaviour of mortgage loans (as a result of the repayment of principal associated to the loan portfolio and the lower production), which represented 88.3% of loans to individuals, reaching a total of 26.444 billion euros as at 31 December 2013.

The performance of mortgage loans in 2013, on a comparable basis, was influenced both by the activity

in Portugal, which fell by 3.6%, and by the international activity, which contracted by 3.4%, essentially due to the subsidiary in Poland.

Consumer credit, on a comparable basis, totalled 3.493 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 3.612 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012, preserving its relative weight (5.8%) in the structure of the portfolio of loans granted to customers. This evolution was above all the result of the activity in Portugal, which fell by 12.5% relative to the end of 2012, since the international activity grew by 16.6%, largely influenced by the performance of the operations in Poland, Mozambique and Angola.

Loans to companies, on a comparable basis, stood at 29.797 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 30.675 billion euros as at 31 December 2012. The reduction in loans to companies was the result of both their lower funding needs and the postponement of their investment decisions, expressed in lower demand for loans, notwithstanding the support offered by Millennium bcp to companies with more sustainable economic and financial structures, with lower risk and connected to the tradable and export sectors.

During 2013, a series of initiatives were promoted under the support to company customers, in particular promotion of the granting of credit facilities, especially under the SME Growth 2013 lines, and the strengthening of the value proposition to lower risk companies aimed at increasing involvement,

which enabled consolidating the Bank's position in support to commercial and export activity. The performance of loans to companies was above all influenced by the activity in Portugal, which recorded a contraction of 4.8% in 2013, with particular incidence on the Corporate network, since in the international activity the loans granted to companies increased by 9.2% in relation to the end of the previous year, especially derived from the operations in Poland and Mozambique.

The quality of the loan portfolio, assessed by the non-performing loan indicators, namely by the proportion of loans overdue by more than 90 days, stood at 7.1% as at 31 December 2013 (5.8% at the end of 2012), reflecting the evolution of the economy, the reduction of disposable income and consequent effect on the materialisation of credit risk in the year.

The coverage ratio of loans overdue by more than 90 days by impairment evolved to 80.1% as at 31 December 2013, compared with 92.7% on the same date of 2012, accompanying the evolution recorded in the activity in Portugal.

Non-performing loans, which, pursuant to the Banco de Portugal Instruction no. 16/2004, in its current

version, includes loans overdue by more than 90 days and doubtful loans reclassified as overdue for the

effect of provisioning, accounted for 9.2% of total loans as at 31 December 2013, compared with 8.1% recorded at the end of 2012. At the same time, credit at risk, calculated under the terms defined in the aforesaid Banco de Portugal Instruction, stood at 11.9% of total loans as at 31 December 2013, compared with 13.1% recorded at the end of 2012.

CREDIT QUALITY

Overdue loans by more than 90 days came to 4.221 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 3.561 billion euros as at the same date of 2012. This evolution resulted from the performance of overdue loans in the activity in Portugal, in spite of the improvement recorded in the international activity, penalised by prolonged recessive circumstances of the Portuguese economy reflected in the materialisation of credit risk throughout 2013. In spite of this context, as of the end of the first

76

semester of 2013 overdue loans showed signs of stabilisation, especially from the third quarter to the fourth quarter with a net change of 0.3 million euros.

Overdue loans granted to companies represented 79.9% of total overdue loans in the portfolio as at 31 December 2013, with a focus on the services, construction and commerce sectors. The ratio of overdue loans to companies as a percentage of total loans granted to companies increased to 11.6%, compared with 9.4% recorded at the end of 2012, as a result of the combined effect of the increase in overdue loans and the contraction of loans to companies held in portfolio. As at 31 December 2013, overdue loans to companies presented a level of coverage of 76.8% by the balance of impairments in the balance sheet.

For loans granted to individuals, overdue consumer credit and mortgage loans represented 14.5% and 5.6%, respectively, of total overdue loans in the portfolio, with the ratio of overdue consumer credit to total consumer credit having deteriorated to 18.1%, compared with 16.8% at the end of 2012. However, the ratio of overdue mortgage loans remained practically stable in relation to the end of 2012, standing at 0.9% as at 31 December 2013.

Customer Funds

In 2013, the access of national banks to market funding remained restricted, albeit at a slightly lower degree, with the reduction of the risk premiums of banks and sovereign debt. In this context, customer funds continued to be the principal source of funding for Portuguese banks, in particular customer deposits which have taken on a fundamental role in the process of adjustment of funding sources of the banking system and which reflect the higher confidence of customers in Portuguese banks. An adjustment of financial investments by individuals took place throughout 2013, namely through the reduction of portfolios of debt securities, equity holdings and life insurance positions, and an increase in bank deposits and investment fund participation units.

(*) On a comparable basis: excludes the impact from discontinued operations.

Under these circumstances, during 2013, Millennium bcp maintained its commercial strategy focused on growth and the retention of customer funds. Various products were created for inclusion in the financial offer aimed at boosting small savings, with deposits with scheduled deliveries, and diversifying the Customers' financial net worth, in order to contribute simultaneously to the reduction of the commercial gap and to meet expectations and needs with regard to saving and investment of the different Customer segments.

Total customer funds, on a comparable basis, increased by 0.5% to 64.260 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, relative to the 63.936 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012, benefiting from the 4.2% growth in off-balance sheet customer funds.

In the activity in Portugal, on a comparable basis, total customer funds evolved from 49.047 billion euros as at 31 December 2012 to 48.128 billion euros as at 31 December 2013. In the international activity, total customer funds increased by 8.3% to 16.132 billion euros at the end of 2013, relative to the 14.889 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012, largely determined by the performance of Bank Millennium in Poland, especially concerning the growth of customer deposits.

Balance sheet customer funds reached 52.392 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 52.545 billion euros at the end of 2012, reflecting, in particular, the 5.2% increase of customer deposits which partially offset the 40.3% reduction of debt securities owed to customers. This evolution reflects the pursuit of the strategy implemented by Millennium bcp to attract stable balance sheet funds, aimed at the sustained reduction of the commercial gap.

Customer deposits increased by 5.2% to stand at 48.595 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, relative to 46.181 billion euros at the end of 2012, driven both by the Retail network of the activity in Portugal and by the international activity which increased by 8.3%, benefiting

above all from the performance of Bank Millennium in Poland, but also from the subsidiaries in Angola and Mozambique.

Debt securities owed to customers stood at 3.797 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 6.364 billion euros at the end of the previous year, reflecting the commercial effort to transform maturing structured products into deposits, in particular in the Retail network in Portugal.

Off-balance sheet customer funds increased by 4.2%, amounting to 11.868 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, relative to the 11.391 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012, in line with the positive evolution observed in the previous year. Assets under management grew by 31.6%, in spite of the 3.2% reduction in capitalisation products, incorporating the effects of the appreciation of assets on financial markets and declining relative attractiveness of term deposits.

Assets under management stood at 3.173 billion euros as at 31 December 2013 (2.410 billion euros at the end of 2012). This growth was the result of the positive performance recorded in the activity in Portugal and abroad, especially of Bank Millennium in Poland. In the activity in Portugal, it is worth highlighting the increased volume of closed real estate funds of private subscription and higher volume of the wealth management portfolios essentially gathered in the Private Banking network.

Capitalisation products amounted to 8.695 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 8.981 billion euros at the end of 2012, influenced by the reduction in the activity in Portugal, partially offset by the positive evolution of the subsidiary in Poland. This evolution, which reversed the trend observed in the previous year, follows from the drive of the strategy of the commercial networks of Millennium bcp in Portugal to channel off-balance sheet products reaching maturity into balance sheet products, especially customer deposits.

Loans and Amounts Owed to Credit Institutions

The deposits of credit institutions and Central Banks, net of investments and deposits at credit institutions, amounted to 11.198 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 12.549 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012. This evolution continued, in line with the previous year, to reflect the lower net funds taken from the European Central Bank, as a result of the maintenance of the strategic focus of Millennium bcp in reducing the commercial gap, namely through higher levels of attraction of customer deposits, simultaneously aimed at reinforcing stable funds in the funding structure, in a context of restriction of access to interbank and wholesale markets.

The "Funding and Liquidity" section presents an analysis of the main lines of action and objectives of Millennium bcp regarding the liquidity management priorities defined in the Liquidity Plan for the year under analysis, namely the management of the portfolio of assets eligible for possible refinancing operations, so as to guarantee the appropriate funding of the activity in the medium and long term.

Financial Assets held for Trading and Financial Assets Available for Sale

The portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale shifted to 10.617 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, relative to the 10.914 billion euros recorded on the same date of 2012. This evolution was largely determined by the performance of the portfolio of participation units and trading derivatives, since the group of fixed income securities remained stable in relation to the previous year.

The portfolio of fixed income securities, composed mainly of Treasury Bills and other public debt securities, Treasury Bonds and Bonds of other foreign public issuers, which, as a whole, account for 73% of the fixed income portfolio and 59% of the total portfolio, stood at 8.581 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 8.609 billion euros recorded at the end of 2012, despite the reinforcement of the Portuguese, Polish and Mozambican sovereign debt portfolio.

Variable income securities increased by 25.1%, from 962 million euros recorded at the end of 2012 to 1.203 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, showing the reinforcement of the portfolio of participation units.

Trading derivatives amounted to 838 million euros as at 31 December 2013, having fallen by 37.8% in relation to the same date of the previous year (1.348 billion euros), with declines in trading volumes of interest rate swaps and options, and credit derivatives.

Other asset elements, which include assets with repurchase agreement, hedging derivatives, investments in associates, investment properties, non-current assets held for sale, other tangible assets, goodwill and intangible assets, current and deferred tax assets, and other assets, represented 7.6% of total consolidated assets (7.1% at the end of 2012), standing at 6.244 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, compared with 6.345 billion euros recorded on the same date in 2012. This evolution is essentially explained by the reduction of the balance of other assets as at 31 December 2013 in relation to that observed on the same date of 2012, related to transactions with securities and sales of credit whose financial settlement was carried forward from the previous year, which was partially offset by the higher balance of current and deferred tax assets as at 31 December 2013, relative to the same date of the 2012.

ACTIVITY BY SEGMENTS

The figures reported for each segment resulted from the aggregation of the subsidiaries and business units defined in each perimeter, and also reflect the impact, on the balance sheet and income statement, of the process of capital allocation and balancing of each entity, based on average values. 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, complying with the regulatory solvency criteria.

Since the process of capital allocation complies with the regulatory solvency criteria in force, the weighted risks and, consequently, the capital allocated to segments are based on Basel II methodology. Following the request submitted by the Bank, the Banco de Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on internal rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risks of Portugal activity, and taking effect as at 31 December 2010.

Subsequently, under the process of sequential adoption of IRB methodologies to calculate capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Banco de Portugal authorised the extension of this methodology to the "Retail Revolving Exposures" and "Other Retail Exposures" risk sub-classes in Portugal, taking effect as at 31 December 2011. Taking effect as at 31 December 2012, the Banco de

Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of credit conversion factors (CCF) for exposures of the risk category "Companies" in Portugal, and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Revolving exposures" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. As at 31 December 2013, the Banco de Portugal authorised the extension of the IRB approach to the real estate development credit portfolios, as well as the adoption of the Bank's own estimates of loss given default (LGD) for the risk category "Companies" in Portugal.

Furthermore, the standard approach was adopted for operating risk and the internal models approach for general market risk and foreign exchange risk, in the perimeter managed centrally from Portugal. The capital allocated to each segment, in 2012 and 2013, resulted from the application of 10.0% to the risks managed by each segment. Each operation is balanced through internal transfers of funds, hence with no impact on consolidated accounts.

The information concerning 2012 is presented on a comparable basis, with the information reported in 2013 reflecting the current organisational structure of the Group's business areas, summarised in the table above, and covering the effect of Customer transfers between Networks.

The net contributions of each segment include, where applicable, the non-controlling interests. Thus, the net contribution reflects the individual results achieved by the business units, regardless of the percentage held by the Group, including the impact of the movements of funds described above. The information presented below was based on the financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS and the organisation of the Group's business areas as at 31 December 2013.

RETAIL IN PORTUGAL

In 2013, Retail recorded a negative net contribution of 142.6 million euros, compared favourably with the negative amount of 268.0 million euros recognised in the same period of 2012, essentially determined by the higher net interest income and lower operating costs.

The net interest income increase was the result of the lower value of interest paid caused by the reduction of the interest rate of term deposits, in spite of the higher volume of deposits compared to the previous year.

Other net income recorded in 2013 showed a slight reduction from the values presented in 2012, due to the reduction observed in fees and commissions related to current accounts and loans to customers, reflecting the negative effect caused by the legislative changes related to fees and commissions for overdrafts, in spite of the fact that fees and commissions associated to investment products evolved positively.

Impairment charges increased by 5.9% from the value recognised in 2012, notwithstanding the slowdown in the pace of charges for loan losses, reflecting, in a positive perspective, the continued focus on the monitoring of risk control and management mechanisms, and negatively reflecting the persistence of adverse economic circumstances in Portugal, and consequent deterioration of the economic and financial situation of national households and companies.

In 2013, operating costs fell by 16.1% compared to the value recognised in 2012, arising from the reduction observed in other administrative costs and staff costs, reflecting the positive effect of the rationalisation, cost containment and resizing of the distribution network under the restructuring plan in progress.

Loans to customers declined by 4.6%, to stand at the total value of 18.198 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, reflecting the reduction of loans to individuals as a result of the lower demand, on the one hand, and the repayments of principal associated to mortgage loans, on the other hand.

Total customer funds stood at 32.643 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, and compared favourably with the value recorded as at 31 December 2012, reflecting the positive impact of the strategy implemented by Millennium bcp to attract stable balance sheet funds, aimed at the sustained reduction of the commercial gap.

Individuals

Following the segmentation implemented from 2012 onwards and the new model of service and appraisal of Customer experiences, the following initiatives are of particular interest:

Mass market

  • Launch of Millennium GO! UP the first integrated solution dedicated to minors (14 to 17 year-olds).
  • Development of one of the most disruptive and innovative campaigns of the market, in partnership with TMN, aimed at boosting the attraction of Customers, the domiciliation of salaries and increased financial involvement, through access to the most recent state-of-theart mobile telephone – Samsung Galaxy S4 – under special conditions.
  • Creation of a family discount campaign based on the theme of families gathering together at Millennium bcp.

Prestige

  • Renewal of the Millennium bcp Prestige brand, aimed at making it better known and repositioning Millennium bcp as a solid reference in this segment.
  • Provision of exclusive products, with the Millennium bcp Prestige brand and highlighting the 1st and 5th anniversary of banking relations of the Prestige Customer.

Residents abroad

  • The "More Portugal" line was provided in order to strengthen proximity with Customers, assuring that the Bank is fully at the disposal of Customers Resident Abroad for any request.
  • The results for 2013 show an important growth of transfers to Portugal as well as a strong increase of Customer attraction and placement of the More Portugal Integrated Solution.

The outcome of these actions was reflected in the significant growth of all integrated solutions, with the achievement of the historic maximum figure of over 735,000 solutions, representing around a third of the Bank's eligible Customer base.

Business

In 2013, under BCP's commitment to finance and support the Portuguese economy, a series of initiatives were promoted, in particular:

  • Promotion of the granting of funds from agreed credit facilities, especially in the PME Crescimento 2013 lines, which led to strong leadership in the Micro and Small Enterprise subline, in terms of number and value of operations, with a market share above 25% in both, according to data from PME Investimentos (the Line's Management Entity) as at 31 December 2013.
  • Reinforcement of the value proposition of the Aplauso Programme for Retail companies showing good risk and greater involvement, which enabled over 12,000 companies to benefit from preferential conditions for banking services and non-financial services, consolidating Millennium's position as the key bank for support of the commercial and export activity of these companies.

As a result of these initiatives, the Bank strengthened its position as a partner of Small and Mediumsized Enterprises and as a reference Bank in the funding of the national economy.

Segmentation by Product

Savings and investment

During 2013, Millennium bcp reinforced its commercial strategy focused on growth and retention of funds, subjecting its commercial actions to constant concern with reducing the cost of debt products, in order to improve its net interest margin.

Various products were created in the Bank's guided financial offer, aimed at encouraging small savings with programmed inputs of sums and diversifying the financial net worth of its Customers.

In order to improve the loan-to-deposit ratio, the Retail Network focused on the transfer of maturing structured products and off-balance sheet products into products with a direct impact on this indicator.

Loans to individuals

Throughout 2013, and with a view to stimulating the growth and funding of the economy, various initiatives were developed in the area of personal loans.

Particular note should also be made of the focus on the granting of mortgage loans for the sale of the Bank's real estate properties, which has been important to boost the sale of these properties, and the maintenance of the overdue credit collection and restructuring campaign in the entire Retail Network, throughout 2013, contributing to slow the growth of non-performance and default.

Cards and means of payment

2013 was marked by strong sale dynamics in terms of

Visa/MasterCard network cards, both with regard to credit, debit and prepaid cards, with the portfolio surpassing the milestone of 3 million cards. The following initiatives are noteworthy:

  • Visibile campaigns for the Free Meal Card, a prepaid card issued by the Bank for the payment of meal allowances, with tax advantages for both the employer and employees;
  • Issue of over half a million new contactless debit cards, aimed at simplifying the way that low value payments are made;
  • Launch of the new special credit in November, a personal credit line associated to the card intended for higher value purchases, with a lower interest rate than that of card credit and which allows the Customer to select the payments plan.

14.4%

Concerning the American Express business area, particular note should be made of the very robust card sales, which increased by 30% during 2013, and the highly dynamic acquiring network, with over 47,000 merchants accepting the brand. Turnover was above 340 million euros, up 11% year-on-year.

Among the initiatives that have been developed, we highlight the launch of the Twin Business cards, a unique solution in Portugal, which offers 2% cash-back to companies, as well as other advantages, discounts and benefits.

As a result of this proactivity, American Express was distinguished for the first time in the "Superbrands - Excellence Brand in Portugal 2013" by the international organisation Superbrands, among 1,200 brands assessed.

Regarding Means of Payment, 2013 was characterised by strong dynamics in the placement of point-ofsale terminals, with this total equipment supported by Millennium bcp having exceeded 34,000 terminals. In the Self-Banking business, Millennium bcp is a pioneer in the implantation of automated locations, in shops or automatic kiosks, providing equipment with Multibanco network services, some exclusively for Customers, including, in particular, for depositing cash and cheques.

Insurance and non-financial offer

The strengthening of the collaboration between the Bank and Insurer in the sale of insurance, through communications and a focus on best practices, throughout 2013, was assured by the implementation of the 2WIN Programme. The insurance offer was renewed, in particular with the launch of the new Life Risk insurance aimed at Individual Customers, which includes the family protection aspect, and increased hospitalisation coverage, with respect to option 3 of the Médis Health Plan, making it the health insurance in Portugal with highest capital in this coverage.

In 2013, Médis continued to be recognised as an Excellent Brand by the market and by Customers of Millennium bcp, winning various awards and distinctions: i) "Consumer Choice" for the first time in the Category of Health Insurance; ii) "Trusted Brand" for the fifth and third time consecutively; iii) "SuperBrand" for the eighth time consecutively; and iv) First place in the ranking of Insurers of the Marktest Reputation Index (MRI).

Concerning the non-financial offer, we highlight the launch of the Millennium bcp - EDP Comercial partnership, which provided discounts for electricity and natural gas aimed at individual customers with Integrated Solutions.

ACTIVOBANK

During 2013, the Bank continued focused on the strategic objectives of growing the Customer base and increasing Customer involvement. Each of these two strategic objectives was developed according to the following vectors:

Attraction of Customers

  • Reorganisation of the non-banking recommendation force ("Associates") and addressing Employees of companies identified as the Bank's target group ("Worksites");
  • Launch of institutional communication campaigns and reinforcement of value propositions, together with the launch of new and differentiating products and services.

Retention of Customer Loyalty

  • Fine-tuning of a model aimed at strengthening loyalty and segmentation, directed at the identification and meeting of Customers' financial needs;
  • Launch of new products intended to meet a series of needs identified among its Customers;
  • Recovery of an important position and leadership in the online investment banking offer.

In order to achieve the focus on growth of the Customer base and involvement, a series of initiatives were developed during 2013, in particular:

Growth and consolidation of the commercial network

The Bank focused on the reorganisation of the non-banking recommendation force, having achieved 160 associated promoters and strengthening the addressing of Employees of companies identified with the Bank's segment, partly capitalising on the expansion of the Activo Point network.

Institutional communication campaigns and value proposition

The communication campaign to attract Customers on the radio, Facebook and Internet carried out during the 1st half of 2013, focused on the competitive advantages that distinguish ActivoBank from the competition. The communication campaign was developed under the motto: "Bank of Ideas", strengthening ActivoBank's image as a social network bank and a bank that listens to its customers. The ActivoPositive campaign was launched during the 2nd half, under the theme of sharing and recommendation.

Launch of new products and services, loyalty and segmentation

In 2013, ActivoBank launched a Home Loan Solution and an innovative Home Leasing Solution, continued to innovate with the introduction of transfers receivable using QR codes and developed institutional communication for the Protection Solution, started the marketing of two accounts targeting youths, and implemented an Automobile-Motorbike Solution, thus seeking to continue to meet its Customers' needs.

Throughout the year, the intensification of a permanent advertising presence on the Internet, especially through campaigns on Google and the social networks, helped develop a channel for the attraction of new Customers consistent with the online behaviour of ActivoBank's target group, composed of recurrent users of search engines such as Google to research and compare a variety of different financial solutions.

Growth

The series of actions that were carried out combined with the continuous focus on innovation contributed to the achievement of over 56,000 Customers (+39%) at the end of the year, and to the recognition of the Bank by the international financial community, expressed in the attribution of the "Best Commercial Bank in Portugal" award by the magazine World Finance (Banking Awards 2013).

Microcredit

In Portugal, Millennium bcp Microcredit continues to be recognised as an alternative for the funding and feasibility of entrepreneurial action, playing a fundamental role in the current national economic scenario by effectively combating unemployment, poverty and social exclusion.

In 2013, the strategic focus of Millennium bcp Microcredit continued to involve a strong component of institutional promotion, providing information about the service among locally-active entities which are closest to socially excluded populations, in a methodical and systematic manner, through the holding of close to 600 meetings with institutions, City Halls, Parish Councils and Education Establishments, and participating in around 160 events publicising and promoting employment and entrepreneurial action, highlighting the role of Microcredit as an instrument of combat against unemployment and social exclusion.

Thirty-four cooperation agreements for entrepreneurial action were concluded and the financial intermediation agreement with the ANDC (National Association of the Right to Credit) was renewed, aimed at providing a specific Microcredit line.

In order to move closer to Micro-entrepreneurs, a new Microcredit Centre was inaugurated in downtown Lisbon (the Baixa), ensuring better access and higher visibility to the public. In order to recognise the entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, innovation and energy of Millennium bcp Microentrepreneurs, the Bank awardedthe "Prémio Realizar" prize (Accomplishment Award - Microcredit and Entrepreneurism Award), with an awards ceremony.

MICROCREDIT ACTIVITY Thousand euros

MICROCREDIT LOAN PORTFOLIO Thousand euros

As a result of all the work developed, Millennium bcp

Microcredit financed 215 new operations, with 2.499 billion euros of total credit granted, having helped to create 536 jobs. The volume of loans granted to the 967 operations in portfolio stood at 10.103 million euros as at 31 December 2013, corresponding to outstanding principal of 7.325 million euros and 1.363 million euros of past due credit.

COMPANIES

The Companies segment recorded a net loss of 80.3 million euros in 2013, compared with a net contribution that was also negative of 71.7 million euros in 2012, mainly due to the lower net interest income and in spite of the reductions observed in impairment charges and operating costs.

The decrease in net interest income in 2013, compared with 2012, resulted from the lower volume of loans granted to customers, derived from the lower demand for credit by economic agents, in spite of the effort made in repricing credit operations.

Lower impairment, despite the adverse macroeconomic context, reflects a slowdown in the pace of impairment charges, positively reflecting the effect of the continued focus on the monitoring of risk control and management mechanisms, and negatively reflecting the persistence of adverse economic circumstances in Portugal, with consequent deterioration of the economic and financial situation of national companies.

The reduction observed in operating costs was essentially due to other administrative costs. Staff costs also recorded a decrease from the preceding year.

Loans to customers fell by 12.6% from 31 December 2012, amounting to 4.809 billion euros at the end of 2013, mainly due to the reduction observed in short-term financing, reflecting the contraction in credit demand due to the reduction of company debt levels and low private investment.

Total customer funds reached 3.428 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, having increased by 18.4% compared to the value recognised as at 31 December 2012, sustained by the performance of assets under management and customer deposits.

Companies Network

The main priority in the Companies Network in 2013 concentrated on the implementation of a strategy of strong proximity and support to companies, especially SMEs, aimed at boosting their growth, sustainability and success, fundamental and indispensable elements for the recovery of the national economy and for the Bank's development. The materialisation of this strategy was achieved through the following pillars of actions:

  • Direct funding of the operating cycle and realisation of new investments for companies that are economically sustainable and preferably in tradable sectors;
  • Support to the implementation of internationalisation to markets showing strong growth, thus boosting synergies with the Bank's operations in different geographic regions: Angola, Mozambique, Poland and China;
  • Systematisation of treasury and funding support solutions, adjusted to company needs and aimed at supporting their current commercial activity, namely through the promotion of factoring as a preferred instrument in treasury management, and at the realisation of new investments, namely through use of leasing in small and medium-scale operations of SMEs, in particular based on protocol credit facilities.

In order to achieve this strategy, the following initiatives were carried out:

Focus on credit facilities agreed with State bodies

During 2013, a total of 4,340 new operations were contracted, corresponding to a total amount of financing of 318 million euros, contributing to a substantial increase (+24%) of the Bank's total portfolio in protocol credit facilities which amounted to 619 million euros at the end of 2013.

In the operations contracted from PME Investimentos (the Line's Management Entity), the Bank achieved leadership, with the granting of 2,815 loans of the approximate value of 196 million euros (market shares of 25.2% and 22%, respectively in number and value) and leadership in the submission of proposals at Mutual Guarantee Societies, with market share of 19.1% in number and 3rd place in value with a share of 16.8%, arising from the Bank's approval of over 4,700 operations amounting to a total financing value of approximately 417 million euros.

Moreover, various agreements were undersigned with IFAP (Institute for the Funding of Agriculture and Fisheries), formalising the creation of specific support lines for companies of the agricultural, fisheries and agro-industrial sectors, in particular the IFAP Short Term Line (to support current management) and IFAP PRODER / PROMAR Lines (aimed at the implementation of investment projects approved under these State support programmes), reflected in new loans to the total value of 3.8 million euros.

The Bank participated in specific protocol credit facilities, where we highlight:

  • Investe QREN: with a ceiling of 1.0 billion euros, aimed at financing companies in the accomplishment of projects approved under the QREN incentive system 2007-2013;
  • Qualification of the Tourist Offer: with a total ceiling of 120 million euros, arising from an agreement reached with Turismo de Portugal aimed at upgrading existing tourist enterprises and/or carrying out new investments of recognised value for the diversification of the tourist offer in Portugal;
  • Entrepreneurship: of the total value of 100 million euros, aimed at supporting investment projects to create companies by unemployed people.

Creation of the Millennium EIB Credit Line

This new credit line, of the total value of 200 million euros, was the result of an agreement with the European Investment Bank essentially targeting SMEs, aimed at supporting the accomplishment of new investment projects, enabling the granting of funds (via the leasing of equipment or medium and long term loans) under preferential pricing conditions. With the commercial launch at the end of the month of October 2013, new funding to the approximate value of 100 million euros had been approved by the end of the year.

Strengthening of the partnership with Mutual Guarantee Societies

Through the creation of the new Millennium Guarantee Line (with a total ceiling of 100 million euros) and the renewal of the existing General Agreement with these societies aimed at supporting companies both in the accomplishment of new investments and in the management of treasury needs associated to the operating cycle of companies, the use of mutual guarantee is an additional benefit for companies, enabling access to a solution providing guarantees to be associated to the credit operation. This strengthening of the partnership was reflected in the strong growth of the market shares of operations contracted with participation of Mutual Guarantee Societies that, at the end of 2013, represented 18.8% in number (relative to 10.1% in December 2012) and 16.6% in value (compared with 7.3% at the end of 2012), with 184.6 million euros in new operations.

Maintenance of the focus on specialised credit

Factoring was a preferred product as a source of financing for company working capital. Note should be made, in particular, of the integration of Factoring and Automobile and Equipment Leasing products in the different commercial campaigns launched in the Retail network during the year.

The Factoring invoices for collection amounted to 3.607 billion euros in December 2013, representing a 1% increase year-on-year, with the average credit balance having stood at close to 893 million euros. In sectorial terms and according to the data of the Portuguese Leasing and Factoring Association, Factoring invoices for collection fell by 2.8% in 2013.

The new Leasing and Long Term Rental (ALD) production stood at approximately 202 million euros at the end of 2013, having recorded a minor reduction of 1% year-on-year, influenced by the negative evolution of the economy. However, particular note should be made of the 30% growth in Leasing of Equipment. The Leasing and ALD credit portfolio remained on the downward trend observed in previous years with a year-on-year decline of 14% in December 2013. In sectorial terms, in Portugal and according to the data of the Portuguese Leasing and Factoring Association, the new Real Estate Leasing production showed a 5% decrease, while Movable Asset Leasing presented an increase of 9%.

Stimulation of solutions to support company internationalisation

In this context, we highlight the following initiatives:

  • Launch of a credit line with Millennium bim of the value of USD 100 million, to support investment in Mozambique. This line is intended to finance SME and Large Company projects, providing specialised monitoring by Millennium Investment Banking in the set up of the funding operations;
  • Creation of a specific area for promoting and supporting export companies, in collaboration with the Bank's operations in selected high growth markets (Angola, Mozambique, Poland and Macau), also taking advantage of the experience of the competence centres specialised in supporting corporate international business (Millennium Trade Solutions and International Business Platform), created to advise and support Companies in exports, imports and internationalisation, which have great experience and knowledge of specific products for Foreign Trade.
  • Promotion of the functionalities created on the "millenniumbcp.pt" portal for documentary loan and Trade Line operations, and a customer telephone line dedicated exclusively to support companies in the trade finance business;
  • Strengthening of the value offer for Customers with the re-launch of Import-Export Insurance, in coordination with Millennium Ageas, an insurance solution which enables assuring coverage conditions that safeguard merchandise from the beginning to the end of the journey, regardless of the means of transport.

Stimulation actions for company Treasury Management

The Bank has developed various actions in this regard, including the following:

  • Strategic focus on products related to the commercial cycle of companies, in particular Factoring On Time and Confirming On Time, solutions that give SMEs flexibility and speed in the management of their collections and payments. In this context, various specific stimulation actions were carried out in the Companies and Retail Networks. By the end of 2013, the Bank had a market share of 16.2% in terms of invoices collected, according to the data of the Portuguese Leasing and Factoring Association;
  • Presentation to Customers of personalised solutions for treasury and transactions management for payments to suppliers and employees and receipts from Customers;
  • Launch of SEPA Payment and Collection solutions in the different channels offered by the Bank, namely the Companies portal and Multibanco channel;
  • Provision of the technical service converter which allows Customers to send SEPA Direct Debit files to the Bank in the national layout;
  • Launch of the On Time Electronic Invoicing service (E-Invoicing), which gives Companies access to financial services associated to electronic invoices. This service arises from an agreement signed with Saphety-Level Trusted Services S.A., where Millennium bcp is the first national bank to offer companies this invoice treatment solution;
  • Implementation of different improvements in the Companies portal, namely the provision of a functionality to enable Customers to follow the entire process of collection and treatment of values.

Holding of the "Millennium Day for Companies"

The "Millennium Day for Companies" are events for Customers in the main markets all over the country (Guimarães, Aveiro, Braga, Algarve, Santarém, Porto and Funchal), and include conferences and debates for commercial promotion to increase the Bank's credit support to the entrepreneurial segment of the different regions.

Interfundos

In a context of correction of the real estate market, expressed in terms of turnover, yields, sales values and rent pricing, Interfundos focused its strategy on restructuring operations, promoting commercial activity, specialisation and optimisation of business.

In order to pursue this strategy, Interfundos has promoted a series of initiatives, including:

  • Completion of 8 operations to increase share capital, 2 operations of share capital decrease and subsequent increase of share capital and the liquidation of 2 funds;
  • Conclusion of agreements with the Bank aimed at using the "M Imóveis" marketing channel for selected enterprises;
  • Assumption of the management of the "AF Portfólio Imobiliário" and "Imopromoção" funds, including the termination of the existing technical consulting contract, with these services now being handled internally, in line with the Group's strategy of specialisation of holding companies of investment funds;
  • Award of a service agreement for the review of the net value of assets under management;
  • Standard contracting of accounting services for the real estate companies held by funds under management.

By the end of 2013, the volume of assets of the 46 funds under management by Interfundos amounted to 1.59 billion euros, ensuring its market leadership with a share of 13%.

Real estate business

In 2013, the strategic priorities of the Real Estate Business Division were, in terms of credit, the sustained reduction of exposure to real estate financing and the improved quality of the loan portfolio. Regarding real estate, these priorities consisted of reducing the time to market of the real estate assets and the stimulus and growth of sales.

Among the various initiatives, we highlight the following:

  • Strengthening of the diagnosis and restructuring models and exploration of new channels to place assets;
  • Broadening of the M Imóveis commercial programme to include Customers' undertakings, creating conditions for higher sales of the funded projects;
  • Credit initiatives aimed at achieving a reduction of exposure at default (EAD) to real estate credit at risk of 10%, year-on-year;
  • Restriction on new entries of real-estate properties, by acting upstream of their entrance into the Bank's assets;
  • Reduction of the time of permanence of real estate properties at the Bank, both through the optimisation of processes and via the provision of services by outsourcers;
  • Development of new partnerships for sales in markets abroad and participation in international auctions and fairs;
  • Consolidation of the sales channels in Portugal, strengthening partnerships with mediation companies, holding national and segment campaigns, national and regional auctions, so as to achieve the best year in terms of turnover (+46% than in 2012) and making Millennium bcp a reference in the real estate market.

CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANKING

The net contribution of Corporate & Investment Banking stood at 15.5 million euros in 2013, which compared unfavourably with the net contribution of 104.8 million euros recognised in 2012, essentially due to the impairment charges increase.

The rise in impairment charges in 2013 was the result of the strengthening of impairment charges for credit risks due to the adverse macroeconomic context and deterioration of the economic and financial circumstances of companies.

As at 31 December 2013, loans to customers decreased by 2.0% relative to the previous year, to stand at 7.922 billion euros, with this reduction being explained by the low investment on one hand and the reduction of company debt levels on the other hand.

Total customer funds reached 8.792 billion euros as at 31 December 2013, having increased by 12.4% from the value recorded as at 31 December 2012, due to the growth of balance sheet customer deposits.

CORPORATE

In 2013, the activity of the Corporate Network was guided by the following strategic priorities:

  • Closer connection to company activity, aimed at the swift identification of needs associated with the operational cycle and investment plan, and consequent presentation of suitable solutions, especially in terms of funding;
  • Support to the development of company internationalisation strategies, especially in high growth markets, namely, North Africa, the Far East, Brazil, Poland, Angola, Mozambique and China, particularly in geographic regions where the Bank is present;
  • In coordination with the Large Corporates Division, strengthening of commercial relations with the main economic groups operating in Portugal, with a view to joint and complementary action so as to improve the Bank's offer in this specific segment.

In order to pursue the strategic priorities indicated above, the following initiatives were implemented:

  • Promotion of a strong commercial dynamics, with commercial planning enabling visits to all Customers, together with the Large Corporates Division, conveying the new strategic positioning with strong focus on granting credit to companies with sustainable projects;
  • Identification of new business opportunities, especially in value added products associated with treasury management (payment of suppliers and receipts from customers), adopting a strategy of management of compensation in the granting of new credit, primarily for economically sustainable companies;
  • Strong support for company internationalisation strategies, in collaboration with the International Division, and exploration of the advantages arising from the Bank's presence in countries receiving Portuguese exports, showing strong growth potential (Poland, China, Angola and Mozambique);
  • Strengthening of commercial relations with the main economic groups operating in Portugal, taking advantage of the expertise arising from the creation of the Large Corporates Division, with a specialised and dedicated team, enabling better knowledge of their activity and reflected in the identification of new business opportunities and accomplishment of business derived from their domestic activity, with the presentation of personalised solutions for treasury management and participation in debt placement operations of their international activity and of Investment Banking, both in the domestic market and Millennium's geographic areas, especially Angola and Mozambique;
  • Reinforcement of the connection between Investment Banking and the Large Corporates Division, seeking to materialize the potential for the generation of business, especially in consulting for the development of international business or in debt placement operations.
  • Strengthening of the coordination with other commercial areas of the Bank, actively participating in actions to attract Customers (employees, suppliers or customers of these companies), boosting the connection between the Bank and companies in the different aspects of their activity.

INVESTMENT BANKING

In 2013, the majority of the indices of the main global stock exchange markets recorded an appreciation above 20%. The PSI recorded a performance of 16% and an increase of daily average volumes traded from 77.49 million euros to 109.57 million euros, a 41.4% increase.

In the share brokerage activity, the Bank regained its leadership of the business of receipt and execution of online orders at Euronext Lisbon, with a market share of around 22%. This fact, combined with the growth of the stock market service through direct access to the trading room, for institutional and individual customers, placed the Bank in 3rd place in the ranking of the national market in the share trading segment, with a market share of 6.8%, equivalent to 21% of the Portuguese market of financial intermediaries. The Bank continued to promote the offer of access to a broad group of international markets in order to meet the increasingly more sophisticated needs of its Customers who seek geographic diversification of their investments. Research activity continued to play a key role in the information and assistance to decision-taking offered to the interests and business of individual and institutional investors, both in terms of the fundamental analysis of the main companies of the PSI20 and some of the larger Spanish companies, and in market analysis in general.

The activity of the certificates programme was even more notable. The Bank, the sole Portuguese issuer of this type of product and with accumulated experience since 2002, decided to decisively focus on the offer of certificates on the share indices to its customers, as a preferred vehicle for investment in share markets, in the context of a directed and balanced policy of diversification of assets by risk and yield categories. Consequently, the certificates programme tripled the value placed in 2013, growing from 105 million euros to 310 million euros, multiplying the traded value by a factor of five. Therefore, the Bank strengthened its leadership on the national market of warrants and certificates, with a market share of 74% and increased its share in the total of the four European markets of NYSE Euronext from 0.5% to almost 5%.

In the Retail Network, the offer of structured investment products was primarily driven by indexed deposits due to the stronger appetite of Customers of the Bank's Networks for investment solutions in the form of deposits, with guaranteed capital and shorter maturity. The total amount placed during the year exceeded 580 million euros. For Private Banking Customers, the offer of indexed deposits was complemented with products with a less conservative profile, following investor interests, with a value above 58 million euros having been placed.

The foreign exchange business with Customers remained below the levels achieved in the past. In this context, the Bank was focused on the adjustment of the existing hedging structures arising from the renegotiation or refinancing of underlying transactions.

The trend of improving perception of the risk of Portuguese issuers in capital markets which began in 2012 and culminated with two issues of two medium and long term sovereign debt during the first semester of 2013, underwent a minor reversal during the third quarter of the year due to several factors, in particular with the overall upward movement of the yields of various categories of fixed yield securities arising from the expected attenuation of the level of accommodation of the monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve and, in the specific case of Portugal, from the political uncertainty triggered in early July. During this period, Millennium investment banking maintained its presence in the segment of bond issues directed at retail, as Joint leader of the Public Offering of bonds of Benfica SAD (45 million euros) and as Co-Leader in the bonds public offering of Mota-Engil (175 million euros). During the last months of the year, the trend once again returned to its path of improved conditions of access to international debt markets for Portuguese issuers of better credit quality, with the Bank having operated as Joint Leader and Bookrunner of two EDP bond issues placed with institutional investors (750 and 600 million euros) and a private placement of 200 million euros, having also been the Leader of an issue for Cofina in the amount of 50 million euros.

There was a slight upturn in financing operations during 2013, reflected in the contraction of new Commercial Paper Programmes. In this context, it is important to note the Bank's leadership of the operations for Sonaecom (100 million euros), Auto-Sueco (increased amount to 45 million euros) and EuropaELc Kraft Viana (20 million euros), ETE (20 million euros), Mota Gestão e Participações (20 million

euros), Altri Group (42.5 million euros), EEM (17.5 million euros) and RAR (10 million euros), in addition to the extension of the maturity period of a series of other Programmes.

Regarding shares, we highlight the Bank's intervention in the delisting process of Brisa – Autoestradas de Portugal, S.A., which marked the conclusion of a process started in 2012 through the joint overall coordination of the takeover bid for this company, announced by Tagus Holdings S.a.r.l., a company held by the José de Mello Group and Arcus Infrastructure Partners, and its Co-Leadership in the Public Invitation to Bid of the 1st Privatisation Phase of CTT – Correios de Portugal.

In the area of Corporate Finance, the Bank participated in various significant projects, providing financial advice to its Customers in dossiers involving the study, development and undertaking of merger and acquisition (M&A) operations, company evaluation, restructuring and reorganisation, as well as the economic-financial analysis and study of projects.

The Bank acted as an adviser in various dossiers which involved Africa, both in the provision of services to customers who are resident in Angola and Mozambique, and through participation and implementation of operations with counterparts in this geographic region, due to the Bank's strong competitive positioning and efforts developed in these countries.

With regards to the different advisory work developed by Millennium investment banking during 2013 provided to customers in the merger and acquisition segment, we highlight the advisory services provided to the French Vinci Group in the acquisition of ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal from the Portuguese State, part of its privatisation process; the advice to EDP Renováveis in the process of sale of a 49% stake in the share capital of EDPR - EDP Renováveis Portugal, S.A. and 25% of the shareholder loans and additional paid-in capital made by this company to CITIC CWEI Renewables S.C.A; the advice to Parpública in the context of the assessment of CTT – Correios de Portugal, S.A.; the advice to Millennium bcp in the process of divestment of its subsidiary Millennium Bank in Greece; the advice to the Soares da Costa Group in the process of capitalisation of its subsidiary Soares da Costa – Construção, SGPS, SA; the advice to the Controlinveste Group in the identification of potential interest in the undertaking of a reinforcement of equity in the Group's media areas in the context of its strategic repositioning, where a memorandum of understanding was signed in November 2013 with a series of investors; the financial advice to Empark Portugal – Empreendimentos e Exploração de Parqueamentos, SA, in the assessment of the business of Empark Aparcamentos y Servicios, SA.

In the area of Structured Finance, Millennium investment banking was involved in the search for new financing opportunities for the food, distribution, media, cement and automobile component sectors. During this period, Structured Finance was also deeply involved in the financial follow-up, analysis and restructuring of around twenty-five Portuguese companies/economic groups.

International

The International Division, through its Financial Institutions Group team, maintained as strategic priorities in 2013 the publicising and promotion of the Bank's business among its international counterparts, the strengthening and attraction of new lines and ceilings to assure the Customers' international operations and maintenance of trade and investment programmes among multilaterals, to support foreign trade and company internationalisation.

In order to achieve these objectives, frequent contacts were maintained with the areas of relations and international business of financial entities, and initiatives were developed to make a difference in the service provided. The service of institutional custody of securities once again merited the attribution of the highest classification of "Top Rated" by the magazine Global Custodian, a highly reputed leader in the dissemination of this industry. The market share of Millennium bcp stood at 42% of total assets under custody held by non-resident institutional investors in the national market.

The Trade Finance area was restructured to reinforce product and commercial aspects. The dynamism resulting from the clear focus of the entire Bank on the international business of companies led to the expansion of the customer base and corresponding increased turnover. The search for the most suitable financial solutions to export more at lower risk was one of the important lines of this area's action.

Through the International Business Platform, the International Division supported the internationalisation of companies, with particular attention to the countries where the bank operates and other priority markets. In this context, business opportunities were identified and publicised, with multi-directional business being promoted between geographic areas.

ASSET MANAGEMENT & PRIVATE BANKING

Asset Management & Private Banking, according to geographic segmentation recorded a negative net contribution of 2.7 million euros in 2013, compared favourably with a negative net income of 26.1 million euros in the previous year. This performance was essentially due to the rise in net interest income, and also the result of the increase observed in other net income, derived from the conversion of deposits into off-balance sheet products, and the reduction in operating costs.

The increased net interest income observed in 2013, compared with the value recorded in the same period of the previous year, was mainly due to the reduction of term deposit interest rates following the effort pursued with a view to reducing the cost of deposits.

Loans to customers declined by 19.5% between 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2013, mainly due to the reduction of the Domestic Private Banking loan portfolio.

As at 31 December 2013, total customer funds grew by 1.2%, relative to 31 December 2012, amounting to 4.207 billion euros, influenced by the increased assets under management.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

Under Banco Comercial Português' Restructuring Plan of, agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp), the Bank undertook the commitment to, by the end of 2014, proceed with the divestment of Millennium Gestão de Ativos (MGA) or promote the transfer of the management of the equity funds by this company to an entity outside the Group. It is thus expected that in 2014, the marketing of these products will enter into a new phase where the Group's different distribution networks and platforms will promote the distribution of a wide offer of investment funds, extended to national or foreign fund managers companies, boosting the value proposition, due to careful selection, covering a broad range of fund management companies and markets.

MGA's activity in 2013 was marked by the strong vitality of its business, by its repositioning and by the change of its governance. Therefore, 2013 represented a year of turnaround and change, during which the company recovered its market share, considerably increased the volume of assets under management as well as the number of stakeholders in its equity funds. MGA, corresponding to the Group's strategic decisions, will end its management of real estate investment funds and, for the first time in its history, will develop the management of venture capital funds. At the same time, its offer has been streamlined and adjusted, its internal structures and processes have been simplified, and costs have been cut. The year of 2013 was thus expressed in very positive results and in the excellent evolution of the business, where it was distinguished among its national peer companies. Finally, in terms of its corporate governance and in conformity with the important updating of the legal and regulatory framework of the activity which occurred in 2013, its management body will include independent members, for the first time.

In 2014 and following the institutional commitments undertaken by the Shareholder, a process of divestment of the company will be developed, which will not, however, include the management of venture capital funds. We believe that this initiative will be successful and that the new ownership will not compromise its existing strong vitality and value proposition. It should be highlighted that the equity fund management activity will once again be confronted with requirements arising from new national and European legislation, in addition to the evolution of financial markets, which influence the performance of its offer.

PRIVATE BANKING

The strategic priorities of the Private Banking network, guiding its commercial action in 2013, consisted primarily of:

  • Increased net worth under management, with permanent concern for the preservation of the assets and diversification to higher value added products;
  • Consolidation and reinforcement of the value proposition of Millennium bcp Private Banking, through the provision of differentiating service and full observance of Compliance rules in order to meet Customer needs;
  • Provision of an excellent service, aimed at the ongoing improvement of service levels to Customers;
  • Consolidation of the deleveraging process.

The following objectives were established for 2013:

  • Increased Customer base, taking advantage of the synergies arising from the strengthening of the commercial teams;
  • Preservation of the assets under management and stimulation of portfolio performance;
  • Consolidation of the Advisory model, one of the pillars of the Private Banking value proposition, through interaction between the Investment Expert and Private Banker teams, monitored by the Investment Control Committee;
  • Contribution to the sustained growth of the Bank's business.

The Private Banking network implemented the following initiatives in 2013, with a with a view to achieving the strategic initiatives referred to above:

  • Focus on the attraction of funds, in two areas: through expansion of the Customer base and higher share of wallet of current customers;
  • Significant reduction of loan volume;
  • Stimulation of the Discretionary Management offer;
  • Rigorous management of funding margins;
  • Significant increase of fees and commissions;
  • Increased cross-selling.

NON CORE BUSINESS PORTFOLIO

In accordance with the restructuring plan submitted to the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DGComp), the Bank has initiated an internal reorganisation process in order to manage this segment separately.

FOREIGN BUSINESS

The net contribution of Foreign Business, according to geographic segmentation, stood at 237.2 million euros in 2013, slightly exceeding the value of 236.3 million euros achieved in 2012.

Net interest income in 2013 fell from 2012, influenced by the adverse foreign exchange effect recognised at Millennium bim in Mozambique, at Banco Millennium Angola and in Poland, which annulled the growth recorded in local currency in these subsidiaries.

The value of other net income recorded in 2013, when compared with that presented in the previous year, increased by 4.4%, corresponding to 15.2 million euros, arising from the growth observed across all the operations, of fees and commissions, in particular relative to cards and the sale of third party products in the Group's distribution network.

Operating costs showed a 1.9% reduction in 2013 year-on-year, benefiting from the savings achieved by the Group's subsidiaries in Poland, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands, mitigating the increases recorded at Millennium bim in Mozambique, excluding the foreign exchange effect of the devaluation of the metical against the euro, and at Banco Millennium Angola, following the strategy of organic growth underway in these last two operations.

The reduction of staff costs reflects the effort to rationalise and optimise resource use pursued at Bank Millennium in Poland, in spite of the increases recorded by the subsidiaries in Angola and Mozambique, excluding the foreign exchange effect of the devaluation of the metical against the euro, caused by the higher number of employees in these two geographic areas, related to the organic growth in progress, and by the strengthening of their skills and operating capacity.

Loans to customers increased by 3.1% in 2013 from the value recorded as at 31 December 2012 due to the contribution of all the operations except the Cayman Islands and the operation in Switzerland, reflecting the performance of loans granted to companies and consumer credit, since mortgage loans recorded a reduction.

As at 31 December 2013, total customer funds increased by 8.4% from the amount recorded as at 31 December 2012, having benefited from all the operations except the operation in the Cayman Islands, particularly in Poland where total customer funds grew by 8.5% mostly driven by the increase observed in balance sheet customer deposits.

BUSINESS IN EUROPE

Poland

In 2013, Bank Millennium began to implement its strategy announced in October 2012 for 2013-2015, which concentrates on banking relations with SMEs, the redesign of the product mix to higher margin products, the improvement of the balance sheet structure, increased profitability and market share. The improvement of sales efficiency and maintenance of efficiency through strict cost control are also priorities. The key objectives to be achieved by the Group by 2015 include a ROE of 14-15%, an efficiency ratio of 50%, a Core Tier 1 ratio above 10% and a customer satisfaction index above 90%.

The Bank adopted various initiatives for the purpose of implementing the new strategy: including action plans to increase consumer credit to companies, as well as initiatives to improve the liabilities side of the balance sheet, with higher weight of current and saving accounts. At the same time, the Bank is preparing itself for future challenges, investing in management information and in a multichannel platform, while keeping tight cost control. In 2013, the Bank continued its efforts towards strengthening service quality.

The results of Bank Millennium in 2013 indicate that the main strategic initiatives are being gradually implemented and are producing results. The implemented projects and solutions have boosted consumer credit (24%) and loans to companies (12%) significant growth, contributing to the increased weight of loans to companies in the total loan portfolio, from 25% in December 2012 to 27% by December 2013. Customer funds grew by 11% in relation to the end of 2012. The weight of retail deposits increased, with a share of saving accounts and current accounts above 50%, after strong growth of 33% in 2013.

The Bank increased its net interest income by 5.1%, in spite of the abrupt drop in interest rates in Poland during 2013 (reduction of 188 basis points in the average 3-month Wibor rate). Fees and commission showed robust growth in 2013 (7.8%). Strict cost control enabled a reduction of operating

In this context, Banca Millennium achieved growth of deposits volume of 17% and loans to customers (gross) of 12%, having recorded a loss that was 75% smaller than that for 2012, benefiting from the reduction of the cost of risk, the saving in operating costs and the performance of operating income.

Switzerland

Millennium bcp Banque Privée, incorporated in Switzerland in 2003, is a private banking platform offering services to the Group's customers with high net worth, namely on matters of discretionary management, with financial advice and services for the execution of orders.

During 2013, the Bank maintained its strategy of risk reduction by decreasing its credit portfolio from 251 million euros to 219 million euros, thus improving the diversification of assets used as loan collateral. The ratio of loans to assets under management, consequently, decreased from 12% to 10%.

The inflow of net cash entries was positive as a whole for the year, with a significant contribution of new funds from hedged markets since the previous year. Hence, the base of assets under management increased by 8% in 2013, in spite of the deleveraging of customer portfolios.

Operating income increased by 17%, in spite of the decrease in net interest income arising, primarily, from the environment of decreasing interest rates. This higher operating income was mainly the result of fees and commissions, which reflect the combined impact of volumes of transactions growth, larger base of assets under management and price increase.

Operating costs decreased, despite the higher variable costs related to higher revenue, as well as some extraordinary costs, such as the USA programme and the implementation of the FATCA (Foreign Account Compliance Act).

As a result, the Bank recorded a strong increase of net profit in 2013 which stood at 6.1 million euros, compared with 2.5 million recognised in 2012.

OTHER INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Mozambique

In 2013, Millennium bim upheld its position of leadership in the Mozambican market, as the largest, most solid and most profitable financial group in Mozambique, with 157 branches distributed over the entire country, as well as being the bank with greatest geographic penetration. Among the most important African banking institutions, Millennium bim was once again upgraded in the ranking defined by the magazine The Banker, to 62nd position, and continues to be the only Mozambican bank included in the ranking of the 100 largest in Africa.

The strengthening of Millennium bim's leadership as a Universal Bank was underpinned by 2 pillars of action in terms of business initiatives, namely the implementation of the strategy of segmentation of the customer portfolio, which reached 1.2 million customers in 2013, and the launch of innovative products and services so as to meet the needs and expectations of its Customers.

In pursuing its segmentation strategy, the Bank is consolidating its national coverage of the Prestige Network through the opening of new dedicated Branches, thus upholding leadership in this segment that has become increasingly more dynamic and competitive in the market.

Maintaining its tradition of leadership, innovation and search to exceed the requirements of its Customers, Millennium bim has introduced new products and services on the market, with the launch of its new website and a more interactive Internet Banking platform, which is easier to use, more accessible and more secure.

The introduction of Millennium IZI, a new Mobile Banking platform compatible with all types of mobile telephones, has revealed the Bank's capacity to respond to the challenges posed by the economy, promoting, with innovation, the development of the Mozambican financial system. This system, in significantly simplifying the Customers' operations, through user-friendly menus which do not require installation, has led to the massive use of the Mobile channel. In 6 months, the Bank experienced a fivefold increase in the volume of monthly banking transactions, which jumped from 600,000 to 3 million.

Furthermore, the Bank has provided CREDELEC recharge purchase services (prepaid electricity), at any time and at any place, through ATMs and the Millennium IZI mobile system. The introduction of this facility, pioneer on the Mozambican market, has revolutionised the way that people purchase electricity, offering Customers convenience and speed.

At an organisational level, the Bank decentralised the Commercial Divisions in 2013, with immediate efficiency gains enabling greater proximity to Customers. The operations and technological areas were also restructured with the processes and structures adjustment, with positive impacts on cost optimisation and efficiency in the implementation of strategies defined by the Bank.

The launch of the IT Academy and participation in the People Grow and Growing People programmes enabled Millennium bim to adopt the Group's practices aimed at finding and retaining new talent, through the creation of a value proposition driven by the interests and needs of young university students, for their integration in Millennium bim in an innovating and challenging manner.

Loans to companies Consumer credit Mortgage loans

In spite of the demanding economic environment in which the financial sector operated, the consolidated net income of Millennium bim reached 85.5 million euros, corresponding to 9% growth in relation to 2012 (in meticais), which led to a return on equity (ROE) above 24%. By the end of the year, loans to customers (gross) recorded, in meticais, a growth of 24% in relation to 2012, having reached 50.9 thousand million meticais (approximately 1.23 billion euros). Customer funds increased by 19% to 65.6 billion meticais (1.59 billion euros). Notwithstanding the impact on costs of the branch network expansion programme, and the aforesaid impact that the Banco de Moçambique's monetary policy caused by squeezing margins, the cost-to-income ratio remained at a level below 45%.

The strategies adopted by the Bank were directed at the reinforcing the attraction of funds, including funding obtained through DEG (Deutsche Eentwicklungsgesellschaft) and FMO (Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden), in order to highly meet the growing demand for credit, particularly in foreign currency. In addition, the Bank boosted the Investment Bank business with its presence in large-scale projects, offering financial advisory services and, in some cases, even participating in the funding of the operations, which contributed to the strong business evolution, solidity and financial stability of the Bank.

Angola

The principal strategic priorities in 2013 consisted of business expansion through the attraction of new Customers, increased product penetration and reinforcement of Banco Millennium Angola's (BMA) position in the Angolan financial market. Furthermore, the expansion of the commercial network and the offer of personalised and innovative products, continue to be priorities, as in previous years, with BMA offering its Customers excellent services, adapted to all market segments. Finally, the policy on the recruitment and training of Angolan employees, which has been developed since the beginning of the Bank's operations in Angola, will continue to be strengthened, together with risk management and monitoring procedures.

During 2013, 6 branches were inaugurated, resulting in a total of 82 branches of the Retail Network of which 46 are open on Saturday morning, as well as 7 Prestige centres and 6 Company Centres.

The number of customers amounted to 298,000 in December 2013, having grown by 31% in relation to the previous year. Aiming at to increase the number of depositor Customers, BMA launched various term deposits and the Junior Saving Plan, among other saving products.

In relation to credit, the Bank assumed a strong leadership role in supporting the Angolan productive sector through the Angola Invest Programme aiming at replacing imports. In consumer loans highlights include the launch of two consumer loan products, one in national currency, whose differentiation factor is its rapid analysis and decision-making procedure. Additionally a loan simulator has been provided on the Bank's website.

In order to accompany the changes made to the financial sector by the new foreign exchange legislation applied to the oil sector, BMA has provided a batch payment mechanism using the Internet Banking channel, sending SWIFT messages and bank statements. In terms of transactions, the Mobile Banking application and software for transfers and electronic payments of the Internet Banking platform obtained ISO/IEC 25000 and ISO/IEC 25010 quality certifications.

During the period under review, BMA maintained activities related to the promotion and implementation of risk policies, continuing focus on the early detection, measurement, control and monitoring of the different risk components arising from the growth of its business, as well as the respective reporting. It is important to emphasise that, regarding the different risk management levels, the recommendations and control metrics stipulated in the Group have been adopted, duly adapted to the Angolan environment. In the specific case of credit risk management and control, it should be noted that not only have credit risk measurement and assessment mechanisms been reinforced and implemented, but also procedures for proactive prevention and action in the mitigation of risk levels in the Bank's portfolio.

The priority in the recruitment and selection of high potential Employees continues to be one of the hallmarks of differentiation, sustained and supported by the ongoing campaigns and actions, such as partnerships with recruitment firms, agreements and presentations at universities, participation in job fairs (national and international) and newspaper advertisements (national and international).

At the end of 2013, the staff was composed of 1,075 employees, representing a 4.7% increase in relation to the previous year. In 2013, BMA focused on a major challenge and competitive edge factor with the effective implementation of training via e-learning, with courses having been conducted in behavioural and technical areas.

In 2013, Millennium Angola achieved net income of 40.8 million euros, compared with 37.3 million recognised in 2012 (+9.3%).

Operating income grew by 10.8% (in kwanzas) in relation to 2012, amounting to 134.3 million euros, with a notable contribution from fees and commissions and net trading income, where annual growth reached 26.5% and 9.3%, respectively, as well as dividends received, in the amount of 2.0 million euros, and the positive evolution of net interest income, which increased by 2.1%. Return on equity (ROE) stood at 17.5% (18.4% in 2012).

Macau

Millennium bcp's presence in the East goes back to 1993. However, it was only in 2010 that the activity of the Macau branch was expanded, through the attribution of a full license (onshore).

The main strategic guidelines in 2013 consisted of increasing the Bank's presence in the local economy, aimed at strengthening balance sheet funds from exclusively local sources, and extending the offer of services to the Bank's Companies network through the Macau Platform, with special focus on exportdriven companies.

Among the various initiatives adopted to accomplish the strategy in 2013, we highlight the following:

  • Intensification of the support offered to Portuguese entrepreneurs interested in internationalising their companies, through internationalisation options in markets such as Mozambique, Angola, Poland and China (Macau), capitalising on the experience and presence of Millennium in these geographic areas;
  • Development of a business center to support Institutional and Company customers aspiring to internationalise their business in Southern China;
  • Actions to attract new Institutional and Company Customers interested in investing in Portugal under the "Golden Residence Permit" programme;
  • Development of the home banking platform so as to enable, in 2014, the expansion of services offered to Customers by the different networks of the Bank, particularly the growing interest shown by the Private, Companies and Corporate networks in the Macau solution.

In 2013, customer deposits showed a slight reduction, to stand at 1.093 billion euros, and loans to customers (net) contracted by around 11% (in patacas) to 873 million euros, with net income having increased by 15% (in patacas), influenced by the favourable evolution of net interest income, which benefited from the reduction of customer deposits cost and higher interest from loans to customers, and from loan impairment reversed.

Cayman Islands

Millennium bcp Bank & Trust, with head office in the Cayman Islands, holds a category "B" banking license, and provides international banking services to Customers who are not resident in Portugal. The Cayman Islands are considered a cooperating jurisdiction by the Banco de Portugal.

In 2013, Millennium bcp Bank & Trust's net income stood at 11.4 million euros, compared with 14.7 million euros in 2012, influenced by negative net interest income performance and by the recognition of loan impairment provisions, in spite of positive performance for fees and commissions.

MILLENNIUMBCP AGEAS

In a still adverse external environment, despite the timid signs of recovery of the Portuguese economy visible as of the 4th quarter onwards, Millenniumbcp Ageas pursued the implementation of its new strategic agenda, called "Vision 2015", defined during 2011 with the objective of repositioning its business model, adapted to the new market reality and assuring its future development. 2011 represented a year of preparation, 2012 was a year associated to implementation, and 2013 materialised current results arising from the measures taken in preceding years and during the year under review.

Vision 2015 is based on 6 strategic decisions which should be taken into account in the appraisal of the results achieved in 2013 and in future years:

  • Growth in Non-Life, in bancassurance at Millennium bcp;
  • Maintenance of leadership in Life, assuring the transition to a new business model;
  • Maintenance of a profile of high technical profitability and low operating costs;
  • Extension of the business beyond its foundation frontiers;
  • Focus on the Customer as the absolute core of the activity;
  • Reinforcement of corporate culture and employee commitment to the organisation.

The results achieved in 2013 by Millenniumbcp Ageas already reflect the assumed strategic decisions, which have been expressed in an increased total volume of premiums (Life and Non-Life) of 74%, relative to 2012, in spite of the long-standing and extremely adverse external environment. The production of the Life branch, driven by financial products, showed significant growth of approximately 95%, compared with 34% of the market in the same period. The growth of Non-Life stood at 5%, against the market cycle which showed a decline of 3%.

The good operating performance, both in Life and Non-Life, notwithstanding the aggravation of claims in some branches due to adverse weather conditions, and the cost control led to the achievement of net income of 103 million euros at the end of 2013. The financial strength, embodied in a consolidated solvency ratio of 339% at the end of 2013, was also strengthened.

For 2014, the outlook points to a modest improvement of the external circumstances, but still with latent risks whose materialisation might negatively affect the performance of the entire insurance industry. The implementation of the strategic agenda will continue on course as planned, not only in

PENSION FUND

The pension liabilities assumed by the Group related to the payment to employees of pensions on retirement or disability were, at the end of 2013, fully funded and kept at a higher level than the minimum set by the Bank of Portugal, presenting a coverage rate of 112%, comparing with 119% at the end of 2012. As at 31 December 2013 the pensions and other benefits liabilities totalled 2.533 billion euros, which compares with 2.293 billion euros registered on 31 December of the previous year.

The Pension Fund recorded, in 2013, a positive rate of return of 4.4%, when in 2012 stood at 1.6%. The structure of the pension fund's assets shows the following evolution:

  • The shares proportion at 27% versus 28% as at 31 December 2012;
  • The increase of the bonds and other fixed income securities from 20% as at 31 December 2012 to 29% as at the end of 2013;
  • The decrease of the proportion of loans and advances to credit institutions and others, from 38% as at 31 December 2012 to 32% at the end of 2013;
  • The reduction of the property component that evolved from 15% at the end of 2012 to 12% as at 31 December 2013.

STRUCTURE OF THE PENSION FUND'S ASSETS AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2013

After analysing the assumptions used to determine the pension fund's liabilities, the Bank decided to change the discount rate from 4.5% to 4.0%, considering, in particular, the decrease in the interest rate of good quality corporate bonds with the same maturity as the pensions fund's liabilities. The main actuarial assumptions used to determine the liabilities in the years of 2012 and 2013 are as follows:

The actuarial differences recorded in 2013, considering the financial and non-financial, were negative and stood at 212 million euros, determined by the unfavourable impact associated with the change in the discount rate previously mentioned, which totalled 200 million euros.

The main indicators of the Pension Fund as at the end of 2011, 2012 and 2013 are as follows:

BCP RATINGS

In 2013, the Portuguese banking sector continued to develop its activity in a very challenging environment. The high unemployment rate and sluggish domestic demand, combined with the continued deterioration of asset quality and the consequent need to reinforce impairments, constrained the Bank's performance.

The improvement of the solvency ratios of Portuguese banks was perceived as positive by the rating agencies but insufficient to change the outlook for the evolution of the ratings. During the 2nd half of 2013, the disclosure of various indicators suggested a gradual recovery of the Portuguese economy. In 2014, the continuation of the moderate deleveraging process and reduction of the structural funding of the ECB should foster a better operating environment for the banking sector.

During 2013, various rating actions were pursued by the different rating agencies:

Risk Management

RISK MANAGEMENT

In 2013, the Group continued with the consolidation of its Risk Management System, fine-tuning and strengthening the activities and infrastructures dedicated to the management and control of the different risks, as well as the reporting mechanisms that assure the measurement of the incurred risk levels.

In this last aspect, 2013 was a notable year in terms of recognition of the quality and suitability of the risk assessment of the loan portfolio, since the Group received authorisation from the Banco de Portugal to use its own estimates for the LGD (Loss Given Default) parameter for the Corporate exposure class within the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWA). This authorisation was effective from 31 December 2013, for exposures booked in Portugal (Banco Comercial Português, Banco de Investimento Imobiliário and Activo Bank).

BCP thus became the first Portuguese banking group to be able to use internal estimates for this calculation parameter both in the Retail and Corporate exposure classes.

The main Risk Management activities and interventions in 2013, as well as various relevant accomplishments towards the consolidation of the Risk Management System, are as follows:

  • Continuation of the initiatives aimed at the effective implementation of the conditioning measures regarding the Banco de Portugal's approval for the use of advanced/internal approaches for the calculation of RWA/capital requirements for credit and market risks;
  • Development and adaptation of the risk calculation and measurement processes, in order to comply with Basel III requirements (CRD IV/CRR);
  • Active participation in the process of approval of new products, suggesting changes and adaptations needed to control the inherent risks in an effective manner;
  • Specific activities of the risk management and control function under the Internal Control System (along with the Internal Audit and Compliance functions), such as the follow-up and promotion of the implementation of corrective measures and internal control improvements or participating in the preparation of the Internal Control Reports 2012/2013;
  • Ongoing updating of the internal regulations relative to the management of the several risks, with different levels of coverage and specificity (Group Codes, Service Ordinances, Procedures Regulations and Operating Manuals);
  • Participation in the EBA/TCOR exercise on credit and market risks, aimed at the transversal assessment of the coherence of the RWA/capital requirements calculated by internal models;
  • Participation in the AQR (Asset Quality Review) exercise start-up, promoted by the European Central Bank (ECB) before the adoption of the European supervisory mechanism (SSM - Single Supervisory Mechanism);
  • Participation in the EBA Transparency exercise, the results of which were published as standardised data on the key indicators on solvency and risk (credit and market), for all the financial groups that usually participate in the stress tests promoted by the EBA;
  • Improvements in internal reporting concerning the main risks of the operations abroad, with review, standardisation and systematisation of the monthly risk reporting model, aimed at ensuring an integrated vision of the different geographic areas in which the Group operates;
  • Development and implementation of the applicable internal regulatory framework and beginning of the deployment of management rules and practices regarding the non-core business portfolio, following the agreement for the restructuring of the BCP Group between the Portuguese Republic and the European Union (represented by DG Comp);
  • Participation in the quarterly reviews of the Group's Capital and Liquidity Plan and associated stress tests;
  • Membership of the ORX Consortium, aimed at operational losses data sharing, for the future evolution of the own funds regulatory requirements calculation approach concerning operational risk, from the current Standardised Approach (TSA) to the Advanced Measurement Method (AMA).

Risk Management organisation

The governance of risk management is composed of various bodies, as illustrated in the diagram below:

The following paragraphs describe the competences and attributions of the bodies intervening in risk management governance – either with management or internal supervision capacities - at Group level (besides the Board of Directors and its Executive Committee).

Risk Assessment Committee

The Risk Assessment Committee is composed of three non-executive members of the Board of Directors and has the following capacities:

  • Advising the Board of Directors on matters related to the definition of risk strategy, capital and liquidity management and market risk management.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is composed of 3 to 5 non-executive members of the Board of Directors (currently 4), and has the following attributions:

  • Supervision of the management, of financial reporting documents, of measures aimed at the improvement of the internal control system, of risk management policy and of compliance policy;
  • Supervision of the internal audit activity, ensuring the independence of the Certified Accountant and issuing recommendations for the contracting of External Auditors, as well as a proposal for their election and for the contractual conditions of their services;
  • Reception of notifications of irregularities submitted by Shareholders, Employees or other stakeholders, assuring follow-up by the Internal Audit Division or by the Customer Ombudsman;
  • The issue of opinions on loans granted (under any form or type, including guarantees provided) or any other contract that the Bank or other Group company concludes with members of its governing bodies or shareholders with stakes above 2% in the Bank's share capital, as well as any entities that, pursuant to the General Framework of Credit Institutions and Financial Companies, are related to them.

In order to ensure the transversal monitoring and alignment of concepts, practices and objectives, the Group Risk Officer is responsible for informing the Risk Commission on the general risk level and for proposing measures to improve the control environment and implement the approved limits. The Group Risk Officer has veto power over any decision that is not subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or its Executive Committee that might have an impact on the Group risk levels. The Group Risk Officer's duties include:

  • Supporting the establishment of risk management policies and methodologies for the identification, assessment, control, monitoring, mitigation and reporting of the different types of risk;
  • Proposing and implementing a set of measurements applicable to the different types of risk;
  • Ensuring the existence of a body of rules and procedures to support risk management;
  • Controlling, on an ongoing basis, of the evolution of different risks and compliance with the applicable policies, regulations and limits;
  • Ensuring the existence of an effective IT platform and a database for robust and complete risk management;
  • Participating in all decisions of relevance to risk and with an impact on the internal control system, empowered to enforce compliance with the Group's regulations and objectives relative to risk;
  • Preparing information on risk management for internal and market disclosure.

The Group Risk Officer is appointed by the Board of Directors and supports the work of the Risk Commission and its sub-commissions.

Economic Capital

The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) establishes a link between the Group's risk tolerance level and its capital needs, through the calculation of the internal (or economic) capital which, regardless of the regulatory capital, is adequate to the incurred risks level, thus implying an understanding of the business as well as of the risk strategies.

Through the ICAAP, all the material risks inherent to the Group's activity are identified and quantified, considering the correlation effects between the different risks, as well as the effects of business diversification (which is developed along various lines and products in a variety of geographic areas). The quantification approach used is based on a VaR (Value-at-Risk) methodology, where the maximum value of potential loss is calculated for each risk, for a time horizon of 12 months, with a 99.94% confidence level.

After the calculation of the economic capital requirements, these values are compared with the available financial resources (Risk Taking Capacity), enabling an economic perspective of capital adequacy, also allowing for the identification of value-creating activities and/or business lines.

The risks considered for ICAAP purposes and the approaches used for each one are shown in the following table:

Risk types Sub-type Approach
Credit risk Credit portfolio model
Trading book
Interest rate risk of
the banking book
Market risks
Equity risk of

Real Estate risk
VaR model
Long term VaR model
Operational risk Standardised approach
Liquidity risk Stress Tests model over
the funding costs
Pension Fund risk Simulation model
Business and strategic risk Model based on the specific
volatility of BCP shares

The aggregation of risks at the different levels of the Group's organisational structure includes the calculation of the effect of the diversification benefits, reflected in an overall result which is less than the sum of the various individual components. A combination of two methods is used for this purpose: i) correlation method and ii) dependence of extreme events. In general terms, the correlation matrix is obtained by submitting the historical series of losses to an implicit linear correlation analysis, which differs from traditional linear correlation analysis since it recognises the dependence of extreme events.

The following table presents the Group's overall risk position as at 31 December 2013 and 2012, represented by the value of the economic capital calculated on these dates:

Diversification benefits -1,202.3 -1,196.8
Group's Economic Capital 4,317.2 4,155.9

The economic capital increase between 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2013, after diversification effects, was of around Euro 161.3 million (+3.9%). The amount calculated at the end of 2013 mainly results from:

  • The increase of economic capital needs associated with credit risk, as a consequence of the worsening of internal rating grades in Portugal – especially in the Corporate segment – as well as from the updating of the LGD and CCF (credit conversion factor) parameters;
  • The increase in equities risk, resulting from an increase in exposure of assets that are subject, within the model, to the same treatment as equities;
  • A decrease in the banking book interest rate risk, stemming from a continuing decrease of the volatility levels observed for the Portuguese Public Debt portfolio.

The experience and know-how acquired through the use of the economic capital model, which exists since 2007, together with recent developments in financial markets and in the relevant regulations and banking supervision – allowed for the identification of improvement opportunities that will provide, when implemented along 2014, the reinforcement of the robustness of the models used.

Model validation

The Models Control Unit is responsible for monitoring and ensuring the independent validation of the credit and market risk models. The validation and monitoring of models involves other bodies, such as: the model owners, the rating system owners, the Validation Committee and the Risk Commission.

During the first half of 2013, as planned, several monitoring, validation, calibration and review/improvement actions were performed on the credit and market risk models.

In the case of credit risk models, these actions focused on the models and rating systems for the Corporate and Retail exposures classes, regarding its different components (PD, LGD and CCF parameters), for models used in Portugal and in some subsidiaries abroad.

Within this process, the most significant models are: the Value-at-Risk model (VaR) for market risks, the losses estimation model (LGD), the credit conversion factors estimation model (CCF) and the probability of default models (PD), such as the Small, Mid, Large Corporate, Real Estate Promotion models and the TRIAD behavioural models applied to Retail clients.

The follow-up and validation of models also aims to monitor and increase the knowledge about quality, in order to strengthen the capacity to react in due time to changes in predictive powers, in order to ensure the necessary confidence regarding the use and performance of each of the implemented models and systems.

Credit risk

The materialisation of this risk arises from the losses occurred in the loan portfolio, due to the incapacity of borrowers (or their guarantors, when applicable), issuers of securities or contractual counterparts to comply with their credit obligations.

This type of risk, which is very relevant and highly representative in terms of the Group's overall exposure to risk, is particularly incisive under adverse macroeconomic conditions (such as has been experienced in Portugal), implying financial difficulties for households and companies.

Control and mitigation of this risk are carried out, on the one hand, through a solid structure of risk analysis and assessment (using internal rating systems suited to the different business segments and a model for the early detection of potential defaults of the portfolio) and, on the other hand, through structural units that are exclusively dedicated to loan recovery, for the situations of default that have occurred.

A note should be made on the following activities that were developed along 2013 to strengthen the practices of credit risk assessment, monitoring and control, in the different segments of the portfolio:

  • Conclusion of the internal rating models for Real Estate Development clients;
  • Calculation of the default rates for Retail and Corporate, in order to obtain the PD for the calibration of the different internal rating models;
  • Development of a new performance measurement for the credit recovery areas, based on the evolution of expected loss, and reflecting credit exposure, collateral levels, duration of default and the outcome of the recovery process;
  • Updating and validation of LGD estimates for risk positions of the Retail exposure class and calculation and validation of estimates for the Corporate exposure class (including, in this case, ELBE - Expected Loss Best Estimates for events of default) and the updating and validation of CCF parameters for Corporate risk positions;
  • Strengthening of the credit quality monitoring of through the systematic follow-up by the Credit Risk Monitoring Sub-Commission of the evolution of the indicators of overdue credit/impairment and of the main risk situations;
  • Improvements in the credit process of operations abroad, with a view to ensure an integrated and overall vision of credit risk in the case of economic groups involved in credit operations in the different geographic areas in which the Group operates;
  • Participation in the Transversal Review Exercise of Loan Portfolios Impairment (ETRICC) and subsequent adequacy assessment concerning the impairment levels of a set of 12 economic groups with transversal exposure to the Portuguese banking system;
  • Participation in the Special Assessment Program Management of Distressed Loans, promoted by the Banco de Portugal to assess the robustness of the banking system, under the Memorandum of Understanding with the "Troika".

The table below illustrates the quarterly evolution of the main credit risk indicators in 2013, for the portfolios of Portugal, Poland, Mozambique and Angola. This evolution shows a relatively moderate deterioration of the credit portfolio quality in Portugal, with a slowing down of this trend at the end of the year.

Loan portfolio breakdown

The following charts present the breakdown of the loan portfolio as at 31 December 2013 by exposure segment, in the main geographic areas in which the Group operates (in terms of EAD - Exposure at Default).

On that date, for Portugal and Poland, the distribution of exposures by risk quality, as measured by internally attributed risk degrees, is illustrated by the following chart:

(Not included: exposures to Banks and Sovereigns and Specialised Lending)

Regarding the loss parameters (LGD), the average values by exposure segment in Portugal, arising from the calculation of regulatory capital (as at 31712/2013) and the estimates based on the losses that effectively occurred (i.e. loan recovery data), are presented in the following chart:

Credit concentration risk

The values relative to credit concentration as at 31 December 2013, measured by the weight of the 20 largest net exposures, excluding Banks and Sovereign, over the value of consolidated Own Funds or, alternatively, by the weight of each of these exposures in total exposure (in terms of EAD), are presented in the following table:

Clients' Groups Net Exposure / Own Funds EAD weight in total EAD
Group 1 7.3% 1.5%
Group 2 6.8% 1.6%
Group 3 3.3% 0.7%
Group 4 3.1% 0.8%
Group 5 2.5% 0.5%
Group 6 2.6% 0.6%
Group 7 2.4% 0.6%
Group 8 1.9% 0.5%
Group 9 1.8% 0.5%
Group 10 1.6% 0.4%
Group 11 1.6% 0.3%
Group 12 1.6% 0.4%
Group 13 1.5% 0.5%
Group 14 1.4% 0.4%
Group 15 1.3% 0.3%
Group 16 1.2% 0.3%
Group 17 1.2% 0.3%
Group 18 1.1% 0.2%
Group 19 1.1% 0.4%
Group 20 1.1% 0.3%
Total 46.5% 11.0%

The EAD weight of these 20 largest net exposures at the end of 2013 remained at the same level as that observed at the end of 2012, at 10.6%. The same can be said with regard to the weight of these 20 largest net exposures in the value of Consolidated Own Funds, which was of 48.8%.

The requirements of the Banco de Portugal on matters of credit concentration risk are reflected in the Group's risk management and control policies through the establishment of limits, in internal regulations, for the weights of credit exposure. The positioning of the largest exposures in relation to the stipulated limits of concentration is regularly monitored by the Risk Office and reported to the Audit Committee and Risk Commission.

Operational risk

Operational risk consists of the occurrence of losses as a result of failures or inadequacies of internal processes, systems or people, or as a result of external events.

In the management of this type of risk, the Group adopts duly documented principles and practices, which are expressed in control mechanisms subject to continuous improvement. This framework has a variety of features, including: functions' segregation; lines of responsibility and respective authorisations; exposure definition and tolerance limits; ethical codes and codes of conduct; risks selfassessment (RSA) exercises; key risk indicators (KRI); access controls (physical and logical); reconciliation activities; exception reports; contingency plans; contracting of insurance; internal training on processes, products and systems.

Within the scope of operational risk management, highlights include the following actions and initiatives carried out in 2013, in Portugal and at the Group's main subsidiaries:

  • Reinforcement of the losses database through the systematic identification of new cases in the Group's main operations;
  • New risks self-assessment exercises in Portugal, Poland and Mozambique;
  • Regular monitoring of the risk indicators that contribute to the early identification of changes in the risk profile of processes;
  • Increasing effectiveness in the use of management instruments by the process owners to identify improvements that contribute to strengthening the processes' control environment;
  • Launching of initiatives aimed at preparing the adoption of the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA), namely, membership of the ORX Consortium.

Operational risk management structure

The operational risk management system is based on a structure of end-to-end processes, considering that a vision which is transversal to the functional units of the organisational structure is the most suitable approach for the perception of risks and to estimate the effects of the corrective measures introduced for their mitigation. Furthermore, this processes model also underlies other strategic initiatives related to the management of this risk, such as the quality certification (ISO 9001) of the main products and services offered, or the actions to improve operating efficiency and the management of business continuity.

Hence, all the Group's subsidiaries where this framework is implemented have defined their own processes structure, which is periodically adjusted according to business evolution, in order to ensure suitable coverage of the business activities (or business support activities) developed.

The responsibility for the processes management was entrusted to process owners (seconded by process managers), whose mission is the characterisation of the operational losses captured under their processes, the monitoring of the respective key risk indicators, the undertaking of risk self-assessment exercises, as well as the identification and implementation of suitable actions to mitigate operational risk exposures, thus contributing to the strengthening of control mechanisms and the improvement of the internal control environment.

In Portugal, process owners are appointed by the Banking Processes and Services Committee (CPSB), based on the recognition of their knowledge and professional experience concerning the activities developed within the processes for which they are responsible. The CPSB is also entrusted with the following duties:

  • Approval of the process file definitions;
  • Approval of new processes, defining, on a case-by-case basis, the need for ISO9001 certification and identifying the processes which, apart from certification, should be submitted to performance measurement (KPI - key performance indicators);
  • Alignment of the processes-based management practices with the reality of the structural units involved;
  • Ensuring the issuance, maintenance and internal disclosure of documentation and information relative to processes-based management;
  • Approval of changes to existing processes, as well as of the design of new processes.

In all other operations of the Group the appointment of the process owners is the responsibility of the respective Boards of Directors or bodies to which this duty is delegated.

Operational risks self-assessment (RSA)

The objective of the RSA exercises is to promote the identification and mitigation (or elimination) of risks, either actual or potential, in each process, through the assessment of each of the 20 subtypes of operational risk considered. These assessments are positioned in a risk tolerance matrix, considering the worst case event that might occur in each process, for three different scenarios. This allows for:

  • The assessment of the risk exposure of the different processes, not considering the influence of existing controls (Inherent Risk);
  • The determination of the influence of the existing control environment in reducing the level of exposure (Residual Risk);
  • The identification of the impact of the improvement opportunities in the risk reduction of the most significant exposures (Target Risk).

The RSA exercises are based on workshops, attended by the Risk Office and with the participation of the process owners (and process managers), or performed through answers to questionnaires sent to the process owners, for a review of previous RSA results, according to predefined updating criteria. During 2013, new RSA exercises were carried out in the main geographic areas in which the Group operates, namely Portugal, Poland and Mozambique, which enabled the updating of the exposure to operational risk measurement for the different processes defined in each of these operations, as well as the identification of improvements to mitigate the exposures classified above the defined tolerance limits, with a view to reducing the respective frequency or severity (or both). These actions will be placed in

order of priority according to the assessment made and implementation will be monitored through the IT application that supports operational risk management.

The following charts show the results of the RSA exercises conducted, namely, the average score for each of the 20 subtypes of operational risk considered, for the set of processes of each geographic area. The outer line represents a score of 2.5 on a scale of 1 (lowest exposure) to 5 (highest exposure).

For the 20 subtypes of operational risk, the aggregate result for each geographic area is illustrated in the following chart:

Operational losses capture

The operational losses data capture (i.e. the identification, registration and characterisation of operational losses and of the events that originated the losses), carried out by the Group for the operations covered by the operational risk management framework, aims to strengthen the awareness of this risk and to provide relevant information to process owners, for incorporation within their processes' management. As such, it is an important instrument to quantify risk exposures. It should also be mentioned that data on operational losses is used for the back-testing of the RSA results, enabling the evaluation of the assessment made on each risk subtype, within each process.

The detection and reporting of operational losses is a responsibility of all employees of the Group, the process owners playing a crucial role in the promotion of these procedures within the context of the processes for which they are responsible. The identification and capture of operational loss events are also executed by the Risk Offices (at Group and local levels), based on data provided by central areas.

The identified events in which the losses, effective or potential, exceed the defined materiality limits (for each geographical area), are registered in a Group-level database of operational losses, related to a process and related to one of the 20 subtypes of operational risk, characterised by its process owners and process managers. In addition to the description of the respective cause-effect, this characterisation also includes the valuation of the loss and, when applicable, a description of the improvement action identified to mitigate the risk (based on the analysis of the loss cause).

The profile of the accumulated losses as of 31 December 2013 is presented in the charts below, showing that most of the losses were caused by procedural failings and external events, as well as the fact that a major proportion of the operational loss events were of low material relevance (below 20,000 Euros).

Key risk indicators (KRI)

KRI draw attention to changes in the profile of the operational risks or in the effectiveness of its control, enabling the identification of the need to introduce corrective actions within the processes, so as to prevent potential risks from materialising into effective losses. The use of this management instrument has been extended to increasingly more processes, and currently covers the most relevant ones in the main Group operations (Portugal, Poland and Mozambique). The data from the identified indicators is consolidated in a "KRI library", shared by the different entities of the Group, and currently includes over 450 indicators, used for monitoring the risks of the main processes.

Business continuity management

The management of business continuity covers two complementary components: the Business Continuity Plan relative to people, facilities and equipment, and the Disaster Recovery Plan relative to information systems, software and communication infrastructures.

Both plans are defined and implemented for a series of critical business processes and subject to pertinent adjustments in accordance with market evolution, the Bank's strategic positioning and its organisational matrix. These plans are promoted and coordinated by a dedicated structural unit, whose methodology is based on a process of continuous improvement, guided by international good practices and the recommendations of the supervisory entities.

These continuity plans are regularly tested and updated, through regular exercises aimed at improving response capacity to incidents and at a better coordination between emergency response, technological recovery, crisis management and business recovery, usually involving the implementation of critical activities at alternative locations.

Insurance Contracting

The contracting of insurance for risks related to assets, persons or third party liabilities is another important instrument in the management of operational risk, the objective being the transfer of risks (total or partial).

Proposals for the contracting of new insurance policies are submitted by process owners under the scope of their duties concerning the management of operational risks inherent to their processes, or are presented by the Heads of areas or organisational units, and then analysed by the Risk Commission and authorised by the Executive Committee.

The specialised technical and commercial functions within insurance contracting are entrusted to the Insurance Management Unit, which is specialised and transversal to all entities of the Group located in Portugal. This unit and the Risk Office share information for the purpose of strengthening the coverage of the policies, as well as for increasing the quality of the operational losses database.

Market risks

Market risks consist of the potential losses that might occur in a given portfolio, as a result of changes in interest or exchange rates and/or in the prices of the different financial instruments of the portfolio, considering not only the correlations that exist between those instruments but also their volatilities.

For the purpose of profitability analysis and market risk quantification and control, the following management areas are defined for each entity of the Group:

  • Trading Management of positions whose objective is the achievement of short term gains, through sale or revaluation. These positions are actively managed, tradable without restriction and may be valued frequently and accurately. The positions in question include securities and derivatives of sales activities;
  • Funding Management of institutional funding (wholesale funding) and money market positions;
  • Investment Management of all the positions in securities to be held to maturity (or for a long period of time) or positions which are not tradable on liquid markets;
  • Commercial Management of positions arising from commercial activity with clients;
  • Structural Management of balance sheet items or operations which, due to their nature, are not directly related to any of the management areas referred to above;
  • ALM Assets and Liabilities Management.

The definition of these areas allows for an effective segregation in the management of the trading and banking books, as well as for the correct allocation of each operation to the most suitable management area, according to its respective context.

In order to ensure that the risk levels incurred in the different portfolios of the Group comply with the predefined levels of risk tolerance, several market risks limits are established (at least yearly) and applied to all the portfolios of the management areas over which the risks are incident. The limits are monitored on a daily basis (or intra-daily, in the case of the financial markets' areas - Trading and Funding) by the Risk Office.

Stop loss limits are also defined for the financial market areas, based on multiples of the risk limits defined for those areas, aimed at limiting the maximum losses that might occur. When these limits are reached, a review of the strategy and of the assumptions used to manage the positions in question becomes mandatory.

Besides the market risk monitoring activities, the following developments and achievements in 2013, are noteworthy, regarding the market risks management:

  • Characterisation of the trading strategies associated to each of the Group's management areas, allowing for the reorganisation of the trading, investment and ALM portfolios, with specialisation of credit and interest rate risk management in investment and ALM and optimisation of the dimensioning of the trading book;
  • Development of the stress tests defined by the ECB under its Comprehensive Assessment (which also includes the AQR exercise, noted above);
  • Implementation of CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustments) under IFRS 13;
  • Final implementation of the preparatory works for future access to the derivatives trading and reporting infrastructure, pursuant to the EMIR Regulation of the European Union;
  • Integration of the valuation and of counterparty risk control functions with the market risks control functions (also including the hedge accounting functions), namely, of those concerning financial market activities, thus creating a single line of responsibility concerning these matters (formerly split between different units).

Trading book market risks

The Group uses an integrated market risk measurement that allows for the monitoring all of the risk subtypes that are considered relevant. This measurement includes the assessment of the following types of risk: general risk, specific risk, non-linear risk and commodity risk. Each risk subtype is measured individually using an appropriate risk model and the integrated measurement is built from the measurements of each subtype without considering any kind of diversification between the four subtypes (worst-case scenario approach).

For the daily measurement of general market risk - relative to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, equity risk and price risk of credit default swaps - a VaR (Value-at-Risk) model is used, based on the parametric approximation defined in the methodology developed by RiskMetrics, considering a time horizon of 10 business days and a significance level of 99%.

For non-linear risk, an internally-developed methodology is applied, replicating the effect that the main non-linear elements of options might have in P&L results of the different portfolios in which these are included, in a manner similar to that considered by the VaR methodology, using the same time horizon and significance level.

Specific and commodity risks are measured through standard methodologies defined in the applicable regulations, with an adequate change of the time horizon considered.

It should be noted that this approach is applied to general risk, non-linear risk, specific risk and commodity risk positions whenever these are allocated to management areas other than the Trading area.

The following table presents the values at risk measured by the methodologies referred to above, for the trading book, between 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2013:

Notes:

  • Holding term of 10 days and 99% of confidence level.

  • Consolidated positions from Millennium bcp, Bank Millennium, Millennium bank Greece (until 30 June 2013) Banca Millennium (Romania).

Throughout 2013, the Group's trading book risk showed materially reduced levels, in spite of some market volatility observed for the public debt of Southern European countries. The Bank maintained a limited size for this portfolio, along with a fairly conservative management posture.

The graph below illustrates the volatility of the trading book during 2013, divided into its 3 risk components, showing that the interest rate risk showed higher levels than foreign exchange and equity risks, especially in the first 9 months of the year.

VaR model monitoring and validation

In order to verify the adequacy of the internal VaR model for the assessment of the risks involved in the positions held, various validations are conducted over time, of different scopes and frequency, including back-testing, estimation of the effects of diversification and scope analysis of the risk factors.

The graph below shows the hypothetical back-testing for the trading book (of Portugal), which compares the VaR indicators with the hypothetical results of the model used.

This graph shows the occurrence of 2 excess values (relative to the results predicted by the model), which represents a frequency of 0.8% in 250 days of observation. This frequency of excesses demonstrates the adequacy of the model for the purpose of assessing the risks in question.

Stress tests on the trading book

Supplementary to the VaR calculation, the Group continuously tests a broad range of stress scenarios, analysing the respective results with a view to identify risk concentrations that have not been captured by the VaR model and, also, to test for other possible dimensions of loss. The results of these tests on the Group's trading book, as at 31 December 2013, were as follows:

These results show that the exposure of the Group's trading book to the different risk factors considered is limited and that the main adverse scenario at stake is an increase in interest rates, especially when accompanied by an increase in the gradient of the yield curve. This sensitivity of the trading book to interest rate risk is the inverse of that observed at the end of 2012.

Interest rate risk in the banking book

The interest rate risk derived from banking book operations is assessed through a process of risk sensitivity analysis, undertaken every month, covering all the operations included in the Group's consolidated Balance Sheet.

Variations of market interest rates influence the Group's net interest income, both in the short term and medium/long term, affecting its economic value in a long term perspective. The main risk factors arise from the repricing mismatch of portfolio positions (repricing risk) and from the risk of variation in market interest rates (yield curve risk). Besides this, but with less impact, there is the risk of unequal variations in different reference rates with the same repricing period (basis risk).

In order to identify the exposure of the Group's banking book to these risks, the monitoring of the interest rate risk takes into consideration the financial characteristics of the positions registered in the information systems, with the respective expected cash-flows being projected according to the repricing dates, thus calculating the impact on economic value resulting from alternative scenarios of change of market interest rate curves.

This analysis, reported as at 31 December 2013 and performed by assessing the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch (discounted at market interest rates) and the value of this mismatch discounted at a +100 bps level (for all periods) results in an impact of approximately -74 million Euros for positions denominated in Euros. The following table shows the impact of this interest rate variation on the Bank's economic value, for each of the banking book management areas and for the different residual terms to maturity of the positions in question:

The positions at risk which are not subject to specific market hedging operations are transferred internally to the two market areas (Funding and ALM), thus becoming an integral part of the respective portfolios. As such, these are assessed daily, based on the market risk control model for the trading book identified above.

Foreign exchange and equity risk in the banking book

The exchange rate risk of the banking book is transferred internally to the Trading area (Treasury), in accordance with the risk specialisation model followed by the Group for the management of the exchange rate risk of the Balance Sheet. The only exposures to exchange rate risk that are not included in this transfer – the financial holdings in subsidiaries, in foreign currency - are hedged on a case-bycase basis through market operations.

As at 31 December 2013, the Group had hedged its financial holdings in USD, CHF and PLN (partially, in this last case). On a consolidated basis, these hedges are identified, in accounting terms, as 'Net investment hedges', in accordance with the IFRS nomenclature.

On an individual basis, for entities which have financial holdings with exchange rate risk, hedge accounting is also carried out, in this case through a Fair Value Hedge methodology (except for CHF).

Regarding equity risk, the Group holds equity positions of a non-significant size, which are not held for trading purposes. The management of these positions is carried out by a specific area of the Group, with their risk being included in the Investment area and controlled on a daily basis, through the indicators and limits defined for market risks. These positions and their risk are very small within the Group's investment portfolio, only contributing by around 10.0% of the VaR of this portfolio, as at 31 December 2013.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk reflects the Group's potential inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring significant losses, arising from the deterioration of funding conditions (funding risk) and/or sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).

In 2013, the limited access of Portuguese banking institutions to short and medium-long term funding markets continued. Given this scenario, the Group pursued a strategy of control of market funding needs, above all supported by the reinforcement of customer deposits (and also by lower demand for credit from economic agents), as well as an active management of eligible collateral for discount at the ECB, in order to uphold comfortable levels of its liquidity buffer (difference between the total amount of eligible collateral and net funding from the ECB).

The commercial gap, measured by the difference between loans to customers and customer deposits, contracted by 5.4 billion Euros (in consolidated terms). This enabled accommodating the refinancing of 1.1 billion Euros of medium-long term debt, growth in the public and private debt securities portfolios and the early repayment at the Eurosystem of a tranche of 1.0 billion Euros, of the total 12 billion Euros taken under the medium term refinancing operations of the European Central Bank. The liquidity buffer remained above 9 billion Euros, even considering the early repayment of bonds issued of 1.75 billion Euros backed by the State, which were included in the portfolio of eligible collateral. The most recent evolution of this portfolio is illustrated in the following graph:

(*) Total portfolio (includes assets in and out of the pool, used and not used)

Future funding needs are permanently monitored, as shown by the time distribution of the maturities for medium/long term debt in 2014 and 2015, represented in the following graph:

The Group's wholesale funding structure is defined for each annual period by the Liquidity Plan (which is an integral part of the budgeting process), formulated at a consolidated level and for the main subsidiaries of the Group. The preparation of this plan is coordinated by the Group Treasurer and its implementation is monitored continuously throughout the year, being reviewed whenever necessary.

The following table illustrates the wholesale funding structure, as at 31 December 2012 and 2013, in terms of the relative importance of each of the instruments used:

Liquidity breakdown
(Wholesale funding)
31 Dec 13 31 Dec 12 Change in
weight
MM 2.5% 2.4% 0.1%
ECB 52.5% 51.2% 1.3%
CoCo's 14.3% 12.5% 1.8%
Commercial Paper 3.1% 6.1% -3.0%
Repos 0.8% 0.2% 0.6%
Loan agreements 4.3% 4.1% 0.2%
Schuldschein 1.0% 1.0% 0.0%
EMTN 9.9% 12.1% -2.2%
Equity Swaps 0.0% 0.1% -0.1%
Covered bonds 10.0% 8.9% 1.1%
Subordinated debt 1.5% 1.4% 0.1%
TOTAL 100.0% 100.0%

A downward trend is observed in the weights of medium and long term commercial paper and securitised debt (Euro Medium Term Notes - EMTN) in the Group's wholesale funding structure, as well as the maintenance of very relevant weights of the funding obtained from the ECB.

Control of liquidity risk

The control of the Group's liquidity risk, for short-term time horizons (up to 3 months) is carried out daily based on two internally defined indicators, the immediate liquidity indicator and the quarterly liquidity indicator, which measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise cumulatively over the respective time horizons, considering cash flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively.

These indicators, as at 31 December 2013, showed zero value in the Treasuries of Portugal, Poland and Angola, signifying surplus liquidity in these geographic regions, both in immediate terms and at 3 months, reflecting the prudent management of the different Treasuries of the Group towards this risk.

At the same time, the evolution of the Group's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis, identifying all the factors underlying the variations that have occurred.

The Group controls the profile of structural liquidity through the regular monitoring, by its management structures and bodies, of a series of indicators defined both internally and by the regulations, aimed at characterising liquidity risk, such as:

  • The loan-to-deposit ratio;
  • The medium-term liquidity gaps;
  • The wholesale funding coverage ratios, by highly liquid assets (HLA).

As at 31 December 2012 and 2013, these indicators were as follows:

Capital and Liquidity Contingency Plan

The Capital and Liquidity Contingency Plan (PCCL) defines the priorities, responsibilities and specific measures to be taken in the event of a situation of a liquidity contingency. This plan is reviewed at least once a year.

The PCCL defines the objective of maintaining a balanced liquidity and capital structure, and establishes the need for the continuous monitoring of market conditions, as well as all lines of action and triggers aimed at timely decision-taking in adverse scenarios, either anticipated or observed.

The PCCL defines a composite indicator of the main parameters identified as early indicators of liquidity stress situations (29 variables) which could affect the Group's liquidity position. This indicator is calculated weekly and its evolution is followed by the Group CALCO, the Group Treasurer and the Group Risk Officer.

Pension Fund risk

This risk stems from the potential devaluation of the Fund's assets or from a decline in their expected returns. Given such a scenario, the Group will have to make unplanned contributions in order to maintain the benefits defined by the Fund.

The Pension Fund Risk Sub-Commission is responsible for the regular monitoring of this risk and supervision of its respective management.

In 2013, the Pension Fund registered a gross yield of 5.04%, mainly explained by the positive performance of the bond and equity components, in spite of the negative impact of the real-estate component.

Business and strategic risk

Business and strategic risk is defined as the impact, current or potential, on the Group's net income and/or capital arising from adverse decisions, the implementation of inadequate management strategies or the inability to respond effectively to market changes.

The variation in the stock market price of the BCP share is a relevant indicator as a basis for measuring this type of risk, with its quantification being made by the internal model used to assess the needs for own funds and respective allocation to the different business areas (ICAAP).

In this perspective, the calculation of the economic capital required to cover this type of risk is based on the evolution and price levels of the BCP share, after deduction of the external influence of the stock market which is estimated from a time series of share prices of the largest banks listed at the Euronext Lisbon.

EXPOSURE TO ACTIVITIES AND PRODUCTS AFFECTED BY FINANCIAL CRISIS

The Group's portfolio does not have any exposure either to the US sub-prime/Alt-A mortgage market, namely through Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS), Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS), Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) or Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDO), or in relation to monoline type insurers.

The Group carries out transactions with derivatives fundamentally to hedge structured products for Customers (guaranteed capital and other products), risks stemming from the Bank's day-to-day business, essentially including the hedging of interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The trading activity of the Group's own portfolio in derivatives is immaterial insofar as Group profits or risk exposure are concerned.

Over the years, the Group has carried out securitisation operations based on loans to individuals (mortgage loans and consumer credit) and loans to companies (current accounts and leasing). Credit securitisation is used as a liquidity and capital management tool, aimed at financing the Group's business and, under certain circumstances, to release capital. The Group has a very limited exposure to Special Purpose Entities (SPE), apart from that arising from its own securitisations and normal credit business, as described in the Notes on Accounting Policies and on Loans to Customers of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Furthermore, the accounting policies relative to SPE and securitisations have not been altered over the past 12 months.

The international financial crisis revealed structural imbalances in State expenditure in many jurisdictions of the world, including Greece, Ireland and Portugal. As at 31 December 2013, the Group's net exposure to Portuguese sovereign debt was 5.9 billion euros, net exposure to Irish sovereign debt was 0.2 billion euros, net exposure to Italian sovereign debt was 50 million euros and net exposure to Spanish sovereign debt was 44 million euros. Of the total of 8.3 billion euros of consolidated public debt, Euro 358 million was recorded under the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale, and 8.0 billion euros under the portfolio of financial assets available for sale and held to maturity. Further information on exposure to the sovereign debt of countries of the European Union in bailout situations is presented in Note 57 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Group's accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, included in the Accounts and Notes to the Accounts of 2013. Further information on valuation of financial assets and risk management is presented in the Notes on Financial assets held for trading and available for sale; Hedge derivatives; Financial assets held to maturity; Fair value reserves, Other reserves and Retained earnings; Fair value and Risk Management in the Report referred to above.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

The Internal Control System is defined as the set of principles, strategies, policies, systems, processes, rules and procedures established in the Group aimed at ensuring:

  • Efficient and profitable performance of the activity, in the medium and long term, ensuring the effective use of assets and resources, the continuity of the business and survival of the Group, namely through an adequate management and control of the risks of the activity, through a prudent and correct assessment of the assets and liabilities, as well as through the implementation of mechanisms for prevention and protection against errors and fraud;
  • The existence of financial and management information which is complete, pertinent, reliable and timely, to support decision-making and control processes, both at an internal and external level;
  • Observance of the applicable legal and regulatory provisions issued by the Banco de Portugal, including those relative to the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism, as well as professional and ethical standards and practices, internal and statutory rules, codes of conduct and customer relations, guidelines of the governing bodies and recommendations of the Basel Banking Supervisory Committee and European Banking Authority (EBA), so as to preserve the image and reputation of the institution before its customers, shareholders, employees and supervisors.

In order to achieve these objectives, the Internal Control System is based on the Compliance function, the Risk Management function and the Internal Audit function, which are exercised by centralised divisions and operate transversally across the Group. The Heads of these three divisions are appointed by the Bank's Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Nomination and Assessment Commission, which approves their technical and professional profiles, as appropriate for the functions at stake.

The Internal Control System is based on:

  • An adequate internal control environment;
  • A solid risk management system, aimed at the identification, evaluation, follow-up and control of all risks which might influence the Group's activities;
  • An efficient information and communication system, set up to guarantee the collection, processing and transmission of relevant, encompassing and consistent data, within a timeframe and manner that allows for an effective and timely management and control of the institution's activity and risks;
  • An effective monitoring process, implemented with a view to ensuring the adequacy and effectiveness of the actual internal control system over time, to immediately identifiy any flaws (defined as the group of existing, potential or real defects, or opportunities for the introduction of improvements that will strengthen the internal control system), and ensuring the triggering of corrective actions;
  • Strict compliance with all the legal and regulatory provisions in force by the Group's employees in general, and by the people who hold senior or managerial positions, including members of the management board, to ensure compliance with the Group's Code of Conduct and other codes of conduct applicable to the banking, financial, insurance and brokerage (of securities or derivatives) activities.

The Risk Management System, the Information and Reporting System and the Internal Control Monitoring System

The Internal Control System includes the following subsystems: the Risk Management System, the Information and Reporting System and the Internal Control Monitoring System

The Risk Management System corresponds to the series of integrated and permanent processes which enable the identification, assessment, monitoring and control of all material risks, derived internally or externally, to which the Group's Institutions are exposed, in order to keep them at levels that are predefined by the management and supervisory boards, and take into consideration risks related to credit, markets, interest rates, exchange rates, liquidity, compliance, operating, information systems, strategy and reputation, as well as all other risks which, in view of the specific situation of the Group's institutions, could become materially relevant.

This system is adequately planned, reviewed and documented and is supported by risks identification, assessment, monitoring and control processes, which include appropriate and clearly defined policies and procedures, aimed at ensuring that the objectives of the institution are achieved and that the necessary measures are taken to respond adequately to previously identified risks.

The Information and Reporting System ensures the existence of information which is substantive, up-todate, understandable, consistent, timely and reliable, so as to enable an overall and encompassing view of the financial situation, the development of the business, the achievement of the defined strategy and objectives, the risk profile of the institution and on the behaviour and prospective evolution of relevant markets.

The financial information process is supported by the accounting and management support systems which register, classify, associate and archive, in a timely, systematic, reliable, complete and consistent manner, all the operations carried out by the institutions and its subsidiaries, in accordance with the rulings and policies issued by the Executive Board of Directors.

The Monitoring Process includes all the control and assessment actions developed with a view to ensure the effectiveness and adequacy of the internal control system, through the identification of deficiencies in the system, either in terms of its design, implementation and/or use. The control and monitoring actions are implemented on a continuous basis and as an integral part of the Group's routines, being complemented with regular or exceptional autonomous assessments. Any deficiencies of material impact which might be detected through the control procedures are duly registered, documented and reported to the appropriate management and supervisory bodies.

In this context, the Internal Audit Function is performed by the Audit Division on a permanent and independent basis, assessing, at all times and pursuant to the established plan, the adequacy and effectiveness of the different components of the internal control system, as a whole, issuing recommendations based on the outcome of those assessments.

These subsystems of the Internal Control System are managed by the Risk Office and Compliance Office in terms of Risk Management and by the Planning and Control Department of the Planning, Research and ALM Division, the Accounts and Consolidation Division and the areas responsible for accounting in the different subsidiaries, for Information and Reporting.

The Risk Office activity is transversal across the Group and includes the coordination of the local risk management structures. The activity of the Compliance Office is also transversal to all Institutions of the Group, in terms of applicable compliance policies, with observance of the legal specificities of each jurisdiction. The Accounting and Consolidation Division and the Planning and Control Department of the Planning, Research and ALM Division receive and centralise the financial information of all the subsidiaries. The Audit Division is responsible for the onsite monitoring of the internal control system, performing this duty transversally.

The Risk Office, the Compliance Office, the Accounting and Consolidation Division, the Planning and Control Department of the Planning, Research and ALM Division and the Audit Division ensure the implementation of the procedures and means required to obtain all the relevant information for the information consolidation process at Group level - both of accounting nature and relative to management support and risk monitoring and control - which should include:

  • The definition of the contents and format of the information to be reported by the entities included in the consolidation perimeter, in accordance with the accounting policies and guidelines defined by the management body, as well as with the required reporting dates;
  • The identification and control of the intra-Group operations;
  • Ensuring that the management information is consistent between the different entities, so that it is possible to measure and monitor the evolution and profitability of each business, to verify the achievement of the established objectives, as well as to evaluate and control the risks incurred by each entity, both in absolute and relative terms.

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of presentation

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. Sociedade Aberta (the 'Bank') is a public bank, established in Portugal in 1985. It started operations 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 years ended 31 December, 2013 and 2012.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 from the European Parliament and the Council, of 19 July 2002 and Regulation no. 1/2005 from the Bank of Portugal, 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 the year 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 8 April 2014 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.

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 December, 2013 were prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the EU and effective on that date. As referred in note 48, during the first semester of 2013, the Group sold 100% of the investment in Millennium Bank, Societé Anonyme (Greece), and therefore the referred investment ceased to be consolidated in the financial statements of the Group. This fact should be considered for comparative analyses.

The Group has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2013, as referred in note 55.

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, except for the adoption and amendments to the following standards:

- IFRS 13 Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 provides a guidance about fair value measurement and replacing guidance that was scattered in several standards. The standard defines fair value as the price for which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would be realized between market participants at the measurement date. The standard has been applied prospectively by the Group, without significant impacts in the measurement of its assets and liabilities.

- IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of items of other comprehensive income

The amendments to IAS 1 only had impact on the presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, which presents now the separation of the items that may be reclassified to the income statement and the items that will not be reclassified to the income statement. The comparative information was also changed.

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 available for sale assets, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are hedged 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.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires 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.

Investments in subsidiaries

The investments in subsidiaries, where the Group holds control, are fully consolidated from the date the Group assumes control over its financial and operational activities, until the control ceases to exist. Control is presumed to exist when the Group owns more than half of the voting rights. Additionally, control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to manage the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefits from its activities, even if the percentage of capital held is less than 50%.

As from 1 January, 2010, accumulated losses are attributed to non-controlling interests in the respective proportion, implying that the Group can recognise negative non-controlling interests. Previously, when the accumulated losses of a subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling interest exceeded the equity of the subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling interest, the excess was attributed to the Group and charged to the income statement as it occurs. Profits subsequently reported by the subsidiary are recognised as profits of the Group until the prior losses attributable to non-controlling interest previously recognised by the Group have been recovered.

As from 1 January, 2010, 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 and 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, 20% or more 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.

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; or
  • 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 - Differences arising from consolidation and revaluation

Goodwill arising from business combinations occurred before 1 January 2004 was charged against reserves.

Business combinations that occurred after 1 January 2004 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 including the costs directly attributable to the acquisition, for acquisitions up to 31 December, 2009.

As from 1 January, 2010 onwards, costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a subsidiary are booked directly in the income statement.

As from the transition date to IFRS (1 January 2004), 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.

The recoverable amount of the goodwill in subsidiaries is assessed annually, regardless the existence of any impairment triggers. 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.

Until 31 December 2009, the contingent acquisition prices were determined based on the best estimate of probable future payments, being the future changes booked against goodwill. As from 1 January 2010, goodwill is no longer 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.

Purchases and dilution of non-controlling interests

Until 31 December, 2009, when an investment in a subsidiary was disposed of, without a loss in control, the difference between the sale price and the book value of the equity allocated to the proportion of capital to be sold by the Group, plus the carrying value of goodwill in that subsidiary, was recognised in the income statement of the period as a gain or loss resulting from the disposal. The dilution effect occurred when the percentage of investment in a subsidiary decreased without any sale of interest in that subsidiary, for example, when the Group did not participate proportionally in a share capital increase of that subsidiary. Until 31 December, 2009, the Group recognised the gains or losses resulting from a dilution of a subsidiary following a sale or capital increase in the income statement.

Also in an acquisition of non-controlling interests, until 31 December 2009, the difference between the acquisition value and the fair value of the noncontrolling interests acquired was accounted against goodwill. The acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related to investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests were recorded as a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, against non-controlling interests. Any difference between the non-controlling interests acquired and the fair value of the liability was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the liability was determined based on the contractual price which may be fixed or variable. In case of a variable price, the changes in the liability are recognised against goodwill and the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding) was recognised in the income statement. This accounting treatment is maintained for all options contracted until 31 December 2009.

Since 1 January 2010, 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 non-controlling interests, that does not impact the control position of a subsidiary, are always recognised against reserves.

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.

Similarly, as from 1 January 2010, the acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related with investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests, are recorded as a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, against non-controlling interests. The fair value of the liability is determined based on the contractual price which may be fixed or variable. In case of a variable price, the changes in the liability are recognised against the income statement as well as the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding). As from 1 January 2010 onwards, in an acquisition (dilution) of non-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.

Special Purpose Entities ('SPEs')

The Group fully consolidates SPEs resulting from securitization operations of assets from Group entities (as referred in note 23) and from operations regarding the sale of loans, when the substance of the relation with those entities indicates that the Group exercises control over its activities, independently of the percentage of the equity held. Besides these SPEs resulting from securitization and sale of loans operations, no additional SPEs have been consolidated considering that they do not meet the criteria established on SIC 12 as described below.

The evaluation of the existence of control is determined based on the criteria established by SIC 12, which can be analysed as follows:

  • The activities of the SPE, in substance, are being conducted on behalf of the Group, in accordance with the specific needs of the Group's business, in order to obtain benefits from these activities;

  • The Group has the decision-making powers to obtain the majority of the benefits of the activities of the SPE or, by setting up an autopilot mechanism, the Group has delegated these decision-making powers;

  • The Group has the rights to obtain the majority of the benefits of the SPE and therefore may be exposed to risks inherent to the activities of the SPE;

  • The Group retains the majority of the residual or ownership risks related to the SPE or its assets in order to obtain benefits from its activities.

Investment fund management

The Group manages assets held by investment funds for which the participation units are held by third parties. The financial statements of these entities are not consolidated by the Group, except when it has the control over these investment funds, namely when it holds more than 50% of the participation units.

When the Group consolidates real estate investment funds, the real estate property resulting from these funds are classified as investment property, as described in note 1 r).

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 goodwill existing on these investments is valued against reserves.

Regarding the investments in foreign operations that are consolidated under the full consolidation, proportional or equity methods, for exchange differences between the conversion to Euros of the opening net assets 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 eliminated from profit and loss in the consolidation process against the exchange differences booked in reserves resulting from those investments. 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. 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 - exchange differences.

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 the entity.

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 costumers.

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, 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 basic 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 costumer'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 reduced through the use of an allowance account. 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; and
  • 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 in order to monitor the differences between estimated and real losses.

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 terms individual only occurs in future periods.

In accordance with "Carta-Circular" no. 15/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, loans and advances to customers are charged-off when there is no realistic expectation, from an economic perspective, of recovering the loan amount. For collateralised loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals, for the part of the loans which is collateralised, is effectively received. This chargeoff is carried out only for loans that are considered not to be recoverable and fully provided.

d) Financial instruments

  • (i) Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement
  • 1) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

1a) Financial assets 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, or that 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 gains 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 Net gains / (losses) arising from trading and hedging activities.

The designation of other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss is performed whenever at least one of the requirements is fulfilled:

  • the 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 assets and liabilities include derivatives that significantly change the cash-flows of the original contracts (host contracts).

The financial assets and liabilities at Fair Value Option are initially accounted at their fair value, with the expenses or income related to the transactions being recognised in profit and loss and subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. The accrual of interest and premium/discount (when applicable) is recognised in Net interest income according to the effective interest rate of each transaction, as well as for accrual of interest of derivatives associated to financial instruments classified as Fair Value Option.

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 until they are sold or an impairment loss exists. On disposal of the financial assets available for sale, the accumulated gains or losses recognised as fair value reserves are recognised under Net gains / (losses) arising from available for sale financial assets. 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 the income statement 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 capacity to maintain until the maturity of the assets and that were not included in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or financial assets available for sale. 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, 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 incremental direct 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.

5) Other financial liabilities

The 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, is made an assessment 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, a 30% of depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1year 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. Recovery 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 (if there is no reversal in the income statement).

(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, unless 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.

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 arising from monetary assets or liabilities, no hedge accounting model is applied. Any gain or loss associated to the derivative and to changes in foreign exchange risk related with the monetary items is recognised through profit and loss.

(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 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. 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, showing that the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are hedged by the changes in the hedged item for the risk being 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 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 the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity related to the investment in a foreign operation and to the associated hedge operation are included in the income

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 heldto-maturity, as long as the requirements described in the standard are met, namely:

  • if a financial asset, at the date of reclassification present the characteristics of a debt instrument for which there is no active market; or - 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.

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 Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss by decision of the entity (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 discharged, cancelled or extinguished.

h) Equity instruments

An instrument is classified as an equity instrument when there is no contractual obligation at settlement to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, independently from its legal form, showing 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 issuer 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 to be considered 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 operations

Non-current assets, groups of non-current assets held for sale (groups of assets together and 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 are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.

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 disposal.

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 the Group.

The subsequent accounting of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value net of expenses. In case of unrealised losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.

l) Finance lease transactions

At the lessee's perspective, finance lease transactions are recorded 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.

m) Interest income and expense

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.

When 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 with 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 are considered the following aspects:

  • Interest income for overdue loans with collaterals are accounted for as income, up to the limit of the valuation of the collateral valued 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 and are recognised only when they are 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 of the changes in their fair value is recognised under interest income or expense (Net interest income).

n) Fee and commission income

Fees 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.

Fees 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)

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 impairment losses and 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) Property and equipment

Property and equipment 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
Premises 50
Expenditure on freehold and leasehold buildings 10
Equipment 4 to 12
Other fixed 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.

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.

The expertises 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 year 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 cash 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 loans and advances to credit institutions.

Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted balances with Central Banks.

u) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is recorded in the balance sheet when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis.

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

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 collective labour arrangements. These benefits are estimated in the pensions plans 'Plano ACT' and 'Plano ACTQ' of the Pension Plan of BCP Group, which corresponds to the referred collective labour arrangements (the conditions are estimated in the private social security of the banking sector for the constitution of the right to receive a pension).

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 ( Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change 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 proceed 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 ('Caixa de Abono de Família dos Empregados Bancários') 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 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho'.

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 with 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 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with 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 and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also established the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.

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.

The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans 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.

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) 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 65.

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.

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 31 December 2013, the Group has two defined contribution plans. One plan that covers employees who were hired before July 1, 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) exists distributable profits or reserves in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.

The other plan covers employees who have been hired after July 1, 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.

31 December, 2013

Share based compensation plan

As at 31 December 2013 there are no share based compensation plans in force.

Variable remuneration paid to employees

The Executive Committee decides on the most appropriate criteria of allocation among employees.

This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the year 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.

y) Segmental reporting

The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating 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

  • Retail Banking (including ActivoBank);
  • Companies (including Companies in Portugal and Corporate and Investment Banking);
  • Asset management and Private Banking;
  • Non-core business portfolio

Foreign activity

  • Poland;
  • Angola:
  • Mozambique.

Following the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, concluded on 19 June 2013, in accordance with the general conditions announced, and according to IFRS 5, Millennium bank in Greece was classified as a discontinued operation, during 2013, with the impact on results presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "income arising from discontinued operations". As part of this, and in accordance with the referred accounting standard, the profit and loss account was restated as at 31 December 2012, for comparative purposes. At the consolidated balance sheet level, the presentation of assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Greece were not included as at 31 December 2013, but remained in the criteria considered as at December 2012. This fact has to be considered for comparative purposes.

Additionally, as regards the commitment agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp) on the Bank's Restructuring Plan, in particular the sale of Millennium bcp's operation in Romania in the mid-term and the implementation of a new approach to the assets management business, the activities of Millennium bank in Romania and of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos were also presented on the line item of "income arising from discontinued operations", with the restatement of profit and loss account as at 31 December 2012, for comparative purposes. At the consolidated balance sheet level, the presentation of assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Romania and of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos remained in the criteria considered as at December 2012.

Others

The aggregate Others includes the activity not allocated to the segments mentioned above, namely the developed by subsidiaries in Switzerland and Cayman

z) 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 an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and (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.

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.

aa) Earnings per share

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

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, such as convertible debt and stock options granted to employees. 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 classified as an investment contract and 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 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 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 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 year 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 mediation services

The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the Insurance Institute of Portugal to practice the activity of insurance mediation 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 non-life.

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

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

ad) Accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments that require the Executive Committee and management to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate. The most significant of these accounting policies 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 Executive Committee, the Group's reported results would differ if a different treatment was chosen. 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 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.

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 below its acquisition cost. 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, a 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1year 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 the consolidated income statement of the Group.

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 in the income statement 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, among other things, are considered in making this evaluation.

Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a different level of impairment losses with a consequent impact in the consolidated income statement of the Group.

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 values.

Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model could result in different financial results for a particular period.

Held-to-maturity investments

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-tomaturity. 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. 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 on the income statement of the Group.

Securitizations and special purpose entities (SPEs)

The Group sponsors the formation of SPEs primarily for asset securitization transactions for liquidity purposes and/or capital management.

The Group does not consolidate SPEs that it does not control. As it can sometimes be difficult to determine whether the Group does control an SPE, it makes judgments about its exposure to the risks and rewards, as well as about its ability to make operational decisions for the SPE in question.

The determination of the SPEs that needs to be consolidated by the Group requires the use of estimates and assumptions in determining the respective expected residual gains and losses and which party retains the majority of such residual gains and losses. Different estimates and assumptions could lead the Group to a different scope of consolidation with a direct impact in net income.

In the scope of the application of this accounting policy and in accordance with note 23, the following SPEs resulting from securitization transactions were included in the consolidation perimeter: NovaFinance n.4, Magellan n.2 and 3, Caravela SME n.2 and Tagus Leasing n.1. The Group did not consolidate the following SPEs also resulting from securitization transactions: Magellan n.1 and n.4. For these SPEs, which are not recognised in the balance sheet, the Group concluded that the main risks and the benefits were transferred, as the Group does not hold any security issued by the SPE, which are exposed to the majority of the residual risks, neither is exposed to the performance of the credit portfolios. On 28 June 2013, it was concluded a synthetic securitization transaction associated to SME and Entrepreneurs.

Income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the worldwide 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.

The Portuguese Tax Authorities are entitled to review the Bank and its subsidiaries' determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a period of four years or six years in case there are tax losses brought forward. Hence, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law which for its probability, the Executive Committee considers that there is no relevant material effect at the level of the Financial Statements.

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 that could impact the cost and liability of the pension plan.

Changes in these assumptions could materially affect these values.

Goodwill impairment

The goodwill recoverable amount recognised as a Group's asset, is revised annually regardless the existence of impairment losses.

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.

2. Net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity

IFRS requires separate disclosure of net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity, as presented in notes 3, 6, 7 and 8. A particular business activity can generate impact in net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity. This disclosure requirement demonstrates the contribution of the different business activities for the net interest margin and net gains from trading and hedging, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity

In compliance with the accounting policy described in note 1 c), loans and advances to customers are charged-off when there are no feasible expectations, from an economic perspective, of recovering the loan amount. For collateralised loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals are effectively received. This charge-off is carried out only for loans that are considered not to be recoverable and fully provided.

As referred in IFRS 13 , financial instruments are measured according to the levels of valuation described in note 49.

The assets included in level 3, in the amount of Euros 1,106,091,000 corresponds to units of closed-ended investment funds whose value resulted from the disclosure of the 'Net assets attributable to unit holders' (NAV) as determined by the management company, according to the audited accounts for the respective funds. The assets of these funds result from a diverse set of assets and liabilities valued in their respective accounts at fair value through internal methodologies used by the management company. Is not practicable to present a sensitivity analysis of the different components of the underlying assumptions used by entities in the presentation of NAV, yet it should be noted that a variation of + / - 10 % of the NAV has an impact of Euros 110,609,000 in Equity ( Fair value reserves).

The Group recognises impairment for financial assets available for sale when there is a significant or prolonged decrease in its fair value or when there is an impact on expected future cash flows of the assets. This assessment involves judgement in which the Group takes into consideration, among other factors, the volatility of the securities prices.

Thus, as a consequence of the low liquidity and significant volatility in financial markets, the following factors were taken into consideration in determining the existence of impairment:

  • Equity instruments: (i) decreases of more than 30% against the purchase price; or (ii) the market value below the purchase price for a period exceeding 12 months;

  • Debt instruments: when there is objective evidence of events with impact on recoverable value of future cash flows of these assets.

Hedging derivatives are measured in accordance with internal valuation techniques considering mainly observable market inputs. In accordance with the hierarchy of the valuation sources, as referred in IFRS 13 these derivatives are classified in level 2. The Group applies derivatives to hedge interest and exchange rate exposure risks. The accounting method depends on the nature of the hedged risk, namely if the Group is exposed to fair value changes, variability in cash-flows or highly probable forecast transactions.

The Group adopts, for the hedging relationships which comply with the hedging requirements of IAS 39, the hedge accounting method mainly interest rate and exchange rate derivatives. The fair value hedge model is adopted for debt securities, loans granted with fixed rate loans and deposits and money market loans. The cash flows hedge model is adopted for future transactions in foreign currency to cover dynamic changes in cash flows from loans granted and variable rate deposits in foreign currency and foreign currency mortgage loans.

The relationships that follow the fair value hedge model recorded ineffectiveness for the year of a negative amount of Euros 8,200,000 (31 December 2012: negative amount of Euros 29,457,000) and the hedging relationships that follow the cash flows model recorded ineffectiveness for the year of a negative amount of Euros 2,286,000 (31 December 2012: negative amount of Euros 14,623,000).

Impairment for the year - 119

Balance on 31 December - -

As at 1 January 2012, the balance Impairment for financial assets held to maturity corresponded to the impairment recognised on Greek sovereign debt. This impairment was estimated in 2011, considering the evolution of the European Union sovereign debt crisis and specifically the economic and political environment in Greece, which contributed to the continuous deterioration of economic and financial situation of Greece and the incapacity to obtain funds from the international markets, which implied that the short term solvency of the country is dependent on the continuous support by EU and IMF.

Impairment was determined considering the terms of the agreement established between the Greek state and the private sector ('PSI'), related to the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt ('GGBs'). For the purposes of determining impairment, the Group considered the terms and conditions of the PSI and also paragraph AG 84 of IAS 39 that considers reasonable that, for the portfolio of assets held to maturity when, for practical reasons, there are relevant uncertainties regarding the estimate of future cash-flows, impairment can be determined based on observable market prices.

Considering the available information regarding the bonds' characteristics, as at 1 January 2012, the fair value corresponded to approximately 23% of the book value of the portfolio. Following of the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt in the first half of 2012, the impairment was charged off.

After the exchange, the Group sold almost all portfolio of Greek sovereign debt arising from the PSI.

According to the accounting policy described in note 1 b), the recoverable amount of the Goodwill is annually assessed, regardless of the existence of impairment triggers or, in accordance with the paragraph 9 of the IAS 36, every time there are indicators that the asset might be impaired.

In accordance with IAS 36 the recoverable amount of goodwill should be the greater between its value in use (the present value of the future cash flows expected from its use) and its fair value less costs to sell. Based on this criteria, the Group made in 2013, valuations of their investments for which there is goodwill recognised considering among other factors:

(i) an estimate of future cash flows generated by each entity;

(ii) an expectation of potential changes in the amounts and timing of cash flows;

(iii) the time value of money;

(iv) a risk premium associated with the uncertainty by holding the asset; and

(v) other factors associated with the current situation of financial markets.

The valuations are based on reasonable and sustainable assumptions representing the best estimate of the Executive Committee on the economic conditions that affect each subsidiary, the budgets and the latest projections approved for those subsidiaries and their extrapolation to future periods.

The assumptions made for these valuations might vary with the change in economic conditions and in the market.

Bank Millennium, S.A. (Poland)

The estimated cash flows of the business were projected based on current operating results and assuming the business plan and projections approved by the Executive Committee up to 2018. After that date, a perpetuity was considered based on the average long-term expected rate of return for this activity in the Polish market to be reached by 2018. Additionally it was taken into consideration the market performance of the Bank Millennium, S.A. and the percentage of shareholding. Based on this analysis and the expectations of future development, the Group concludes for the absence of impairment.

The business plan of Bank Millennium, S.A. comprises a five-year period, from 2014 to 2018, considering, along this period, a compound annual growth rate of 4% for Total Assets and of 8% for Total Equity, while considering a ROE evolution from 10.6% in 2013 to 14.4% by the end of the period.

The exchange rate EUR/PLN considered was 4.17 (December 2013 average).

The Cost of Equity considered was 10.625% and the annual growth rate in perpetuity (g) was 0%.

Real estate and mortgage credit

Considering the changes made in management of the real estate and mortgage credit over the past few years, the Executive Committee analysed this business as a whole regardless the origin of the operations and the company where they are accounted for.

The estimated cash flows of the business were projected based on current operating results and assuming the business plan and projections approved by the Executive Committee up to 2018 for the business of Banco de Investimento Imobiliário, S.A. and a set of assumptions related to the estimated future evolution of the businesses of mortgage credit originated in real estate agents network and real estate promotion. Based on this analysis and the expectations of future development, the Group conclude for the absence of impairment.

The Real estate and mortgage business comprises the current Banco de Investimento Imobiliário operations plus the income associated with other portfolios meanwhile booked in Banco Comercial Português.

The business plan and estimates for such business unit comprises a five-year period, from 2014 to 2018, considering, along this period, a compound annual growth rate of -8.6% for Total Assets and of -3.6% for the Allocated Capital and an average ROE evolution from 12.9% to 23.7% by the end of the period.

The Cost of Equity considered was 12.125% for the period 2014-18 and 11.225% in perpetuity.

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.

As a result of the Law n. 2/2014 of 16 January, several amendments were made to the Income Tax Code with impact on deferred taxes calculated on 31 December 2013, which are:

  • The reduction of the income tax rate from 25% to 23% and the creation of the state tax rate of 7% applied to the portion of the taxable income greater than Euros 35,000,000;

  • Changing in the reporting period of tax losses (calculated in periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2014) from 5 to 12 years;

  • The non-taxation of gains taxable and non-tax deduction of losses arising on sale of equity shares, since verified a set of requirements, and full tax deduction of losses arising on investments due to the settlement of companies.

The deferred tax charge is analysed as follows.

Description 2013 2012
Income tax (a) 23.0% 25.0%
Municipal surtax rate 1.5% 1.5%
State tax rate 7.0% 2.5%
Total (b) 31.5% 29.0%

(a) - Applicable to deferred taxes related to tax losses;

(b) - Applicable to deferred taxes related to temporary differences

The caption Benefits to employees includes the amount of Euros 494,560,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 289,994,000) related to the recognition of deferred taxes associated with actuarial gains and losses recognised against reserves, as a result of a change in the accounting policy, as referred in notes 1 and 50. The recognition in 2013 of deferred taxes related to actuarial losses in 2011 arises from the increase in reporting period of tax losses. The referred caption also includes the amount of Euros 42,474,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 45,129,000) related to deferred taxes associated to the charge arising from the transfer of the liabilities with retired employees / pensioners to the General Social Security Scheme, which was recognised in the income statement.

The negative impact in equity associated with the change in the above mentioned accounting policy is deductible for tax purposes, in equal parts, for a 10 years period starting on 1 January, 2012. The expense arising from the transfer of liabilities with pensioners to the General Social Security Scheme is deductible for tax purposes, in equal parts starting on 1 January, 2012, for a period corresponding to the average number of years of life expectancy of retirees / pensioners whose responsibilities were transferred (18 years for the Group).

The caption 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. 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. 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.

The guarantees granted by the Group may be related with loan 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.

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 once 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 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.

Considering their nature, as described above, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.

47. Assets under management and custody

Conclusion of the sale of Piraeus Bank

On 30 October 2013, it was concluded the BCP's divestment in the Greek market with the disposal of its entire investment held (including warrants)in Piraeus Bank. This stake was acquired under the sale of Millennium Bank (Greece) process, which was sold for Euros 494,000,000 representing an appreciation over the purchase price of Euros 94,000,000.

Restructuring plan approved by the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission

On 2 Septembe, 2013, the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission formally agreed with the Portuguese authorities on the restructuring plan of the Banco Comercial Português, S.A. ("BCP").

The refered agreement concludes that BCP's restructuring plan complies with the rules of the European Union regarding state aid, showing the bank is viable without continued State support.

The approved plan provides support to the economy and families, pursuing a strategy already in place. The referred plan foresees:

  • the reinforcement of financing to the economy and full compliance with regulatory requirements for capital levels;

  • the strategic focus on the activity through the separation of assets considered core and non-core (securities backed lending, highly-leveraged secured lending, historical subsidized mortgages and lending to certain segments linked to construction, football clubs and real estate development), aiming for a phased reduction of non-core assets;

  • balance sheet deleveraging, with the reduction of non-core assets and a LTD ratio (loans-to-deposits) of 120%, from 2015 onward;

  • the improvement of operational efficiency to achieve a minimum ROE (return on equity) of 10% and a maximum CTI (cost to income) of 50%, both from 2016 onward;

  • the implementation of a new approach to the asset management business by adopting an open architecture distribution model, allowing a broader range of investment options for customers;

the continuation of the adjustment process of its presence in the domestic market, namely by optimizing the number of branches and organizational areas of business support, and continuing to pursue the human resources policies that help to adjust the current staff levels to the effective demand for banking services. In particular, the agreement implies a reduction of around 25% on staff-related costs from December 2012 to December 2015 (it should be stressed that a significant portion of this effort has already been carried out in 2012 and in the first half of 2013).

Concerning international activities, the plan highlights the importance of the strategic operations in Angola and Mozambique, which are major contributors to the strategy to support companies and the Group's net income. Bank Millennium in Poland is also considered as a core operation, and there is no commitment to sell it unless the amount of the CoCos still to be paid in December 2016 exceeds Euros 700,000,000. Still within the scope of the international activities, the plan foresees the sale of BCP's operation in Romania in the mid-term.

The plan also establishes a commitment for selling Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos - Sociedade Gestora de Fundos de Investimento, S.A.

Conclusion of the sale of Millennium Bank in Greece

As at 19 June 2013, the Banco Comercial Português S.A concluded the sale of entire share capital of Millennium Bank Greece to Piraeus Bank which includes: (i) the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium Bank (Greece) ("MBG") and, (ii) the investment by BCP in the forthcoming capital increase of Piraeus Bank. This agreement was part of the framework that has been defined by the Bank of Greece and the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund ("HFSF") aiming at the restructuring of the Greek banking system and strengthening its financial stability. The terms and conditions of the transactions have been approved by the HFSF.

Prior to the completion of the acquisition, BCP has recapitalised MBG in the total amount of Euros 413,000,000, which is covered by the Euros 427,000,000 provision, created in 2012, for potential losses at MBG.

49. Fair value

Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, as occurs regarding many products sold to clients, fair value is estimated through internal models based on cash-flow discounting techniques. Cash-flows for the different instruments sold are calculated according to its financial characteristics and the discount rates used include both the interest rate curve and the current conditions of the pricing policy in the Group.

Thus, the fair value obtained is influenced by the parameters used in the evaluation model that have some degree of judgement and reflects exclusively the value attributed to different financial instruments. However it does not consider prospective factors, as the future business evolution. Therefore the values presented cannot be understood as an estimate of the economic value of the Group.

The main methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value for the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are presented as follows:

Cash and deposits at Central Banks, Loans and advances to credit institutions repayable on demand

Considering the short term of these financial instruments, the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

Loans and advances to credit institutions, Deposits from credit institutions and Assets with repurchase agreements

The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the instalments occur in the contractually defined dates.

For Deposits from Central Banks it was considered that the book value is a reasonable estimate of its fair value, given the nature of operations and the associated short-term. The rate of return of funding with the European Central Bank is 0.25% as at 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: 0.75%).

Regarding loans and advances to credit institutions and deposits from credit institutions, the discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group on identical instruments for each of the different residual maturities. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year). As at 31 December 2013, the average discount rate was 2.95% for loans and advances and 1.42% for deposits. As at 31 December 2012 the rates were 3.87% and 3.13%, respectively.

Financial assets held for trading (except derivatives), Financial liabilities held for trading (except derivatives) and Financial assets available for sale

These financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.

Market interest rates are determined based on information released by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically as a result of prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from similar sources but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The same interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.

When optionality is involved, the standard templates (Black-Scholes, Black, Ho and others) are used considering the volatility areas applicable. Whenever there are no references in the market of sufficient quality or that the available models do not fully apply to meet the characteristics of the financial instrument, specific quotations supplied by an external entity are applied, typically a counterparty of the business.

Financial assets held to maturity

These financial instruments are accounted at amortised cost net of impairment. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.

Hedging and trading derivatives

All derivatives are recorded at fair value.

In case of derivative contracts that are quoted in organised markets their market prices are used. As for derivatives traded "Over-the-counter", it is applied methods based on numerical cash-flow discounting techniques and models for assessment of options considering variables of the market, particularly the interest rates on the instruments in question, and where necessary, their volatilities.

Interest rates are determined based on information disseminated by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically those resulting from prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from a similar source but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.

Loans and advances to customers with defined maturity date

The fair value of these instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the instalments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group in similar instruments for each of the homogeneous classes of this type of instrument and with similar residual maturity. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread used at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the fourth quarter of the year. The average discount rate was 5.50% as at 31 December 2013 and 4.92% as at 31 December 2012, assuming the projection of the variable rates according to the evolution of the forward rates implicit in the interest rate curves. The calculations also include the credit risk spread.

Loans and advances to customers and deposits repayable on demand without defined maturity date

Considering the short maturity of these financial instruments, the conditions of the portfolio are similar to conditions used at the date of the report. Therefore the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

Deposits from customers

The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for the referred instruments, considering that payments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group in similar instruments with a similar maturity. The discount rate used reflects the actual rates of the Group to this type of funds and with similar residual maturity date. The discount rate includes the market rates of the residual maturity date (rates of monetary market or the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread of the Group at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the fourth quarter of the year. As at 31 December 2013, the average discount rate was 2.49% and as at 31 December 2012 was 3.43%.

Debt securities issued and Subordinated debt

For these financial instruments the fair value was calculated for components for which fair value is not yet reflected in the balance sheet. Fixed rate instruments for which the Group adopts "hedge-accounting", the fair value related to the interest rate risk is already recognised.

For the fair value calculation, other components of risk were considered, in addition to the interest rate risk already recorded. The fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted by associated factors, predominantly credit risk and trading margin, the latter only in the case of issues placed on non-institutional customers of the Group.

As original reference, the Group applies the curves resulting from the market interest rate swaps for each specific currency. The credit risk (credit spread) is represented by an excess from the curve of interest rate swaps established specifically for each term and class of instruments based on the market prices on equivalent instruments.

For own debts placed among non institutional costumers of the Group, one more differential was added (commercial spread), which represents the margin between the financing cost in the institutional market and the cost obtained by distributing the respective instrument in the owned commercial network.

The average reference yield curve obtained from market prices in Euros and used in the calculation of the fair value of own securities was 8.99% (31 December, 2012: 9.71%) for subordinated debt placed on the institutional market. Regarding the subordinated issues placed on the retail market it was determined a discount rate of 8.25% (31 December, 2012: 12.21%). The average discount rate calculated for senior issues (including the Government guaranteed and asset-backed) was 3.43% (31 December 2012: 5.38%) and 3.88% (31 December, 2012: 4.25%) for senior and collateralised securities placed on the retail market.

For debt securities, the fair value calculation focused on all the components of these instruments, as a result the difference determined as at 31 December 2013 is a negative amount of Euros 48,271,000 (31 December 2012: a negative amount of Euros 250,147,000), and includes a receivable amount of Euros 160,000 (31 December 2012: a receivable amount of Euros 2,375,000) which reflects the fair value of embedded derivatives and are recorded in financial assets and liabilities held for trading.

As at 31 December 2013, the following table presents the interest rates used in the definition of the interest rate curves of main currencies, namely EUR, USD, GBP and PLN used to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Group:

The Group uses the following hierarchy for fair value with 3 levels in the valuation of financial instruments (assets or liabilities), which reflects the level of judgment, the observability of the data used and the importance of the parameters used in determining the fair value measurement of the instrument, As referred in IFRS 13:

  • Level 1: Fair value is determined based on unadjusted quoted prices, captured in transactions in active markets involving identical instruments to evaluate financial instruments. If there is more than one asset for the same financial instrument market, the relevant price is what prevails in the main market of the instrument, or most advantageous market for which there is access.

  • Level 2: Fair value is determined based on valuation techniques supported by observable in active markets, being direct data (prices, rates, spreads, etc.) or indirect data (derivatives), and valuation assumptions similar to an unrelated party would use in estimating the fair value of that financial instrument.

  • Level 3: Fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs in active markets , using techniques and assumptions that market participants would use to evaluate the same instruments, including assumptions about the inherent risks, the valuation technique used and inputs used to review processes and contemplated the accuracy of the values obtained.

The Group considers an active market for a particular financial instrument at the measurement date, depending on business volumes and liquidity of the transactions made, the relative volatility of the prices quoted and the readiness and availability of information, and for this purpose should verify the following minimum conditions:

  • Existence of frequent daily prices trading in the last year;

  • The above quotations are altered regularly;

  • There executable quotes from more than one entity.

A parameter used in a valuation technique is considered a given observable in the market, if the following conditions are met:

  • If its value is determined in an active market;

  • Or, if there is an OTC market and it is reasonable to assume that the conditions of an active market are met, with the exception of the condition of trading volumes; - Or, the parameter value can be obtained by the inverse calculation of prices of financial instruments or derivatives where the remaining parameters required for initial assessment are observable in a liquid market or an OTC market that comply with the preceding paragraphs.

50. Post-employment benefits and other long term benefits

The Group assumed the liability to pay to their employees pensions on retirement or disability and other obligations. These liabilities comply with the terms of the 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho do Grupo BCP'. The Group's pension obligations and other liabilities are mainly covered through the Banco Comercial Português Pension Fund managed by PensõesGere - Sociedade Gestora de Fundo de Pensões, S.A.

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

This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred was related to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the component established in the 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continue to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also establishes the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.

As referred in note 1w), in addition to the benefits provided for in collective agreements, 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 of the Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP (Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change in the benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made and the individual rights acquired were specifically assigned to the employees. On that date, the Group also performed to the settlement of the related liability, in the amount of Euros 233,457,000.

For accounting purposes and in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, as at 31 December, 2012, there was no impact of the change of plan considering that: (i) the present value of the liabilities had no changes, and (ii) despite the Bank has carried a settlement of the plan, the actuarial deviations associated with these liabilities had already been recognised in reserves in 2011 following the change in accounting policy. Following the changes made, the Bank has no longer any financial or actuarial risk associated with liquidated liabilities.

As referred in the accounting policy 1w) and due to the change of IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, the interest cost / income became to be recognised by its net amount in interest and similar (income or costs).

As the Board Members Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common on 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.

To cover the update of contracted responsibilities through perpetual annuities policies, based on the actuarial calculations, the Group recognised a provision of Euros 4,176,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 4,413,000). As referred in notes 10 and 40, the decrease was the result of the write-down of provisions established to cover the future increases in the retirement pensions of the former members of the Executive Board of Directors, following the agreements established between the parties.

Following the agreements established between the Bank and former members of the Executive Board of Directors the amount of Euros 1,790,000 related with amounts paid to set up a perpetual annuity policy to cover the responsibility with retirement pensions of former members of the Executive Board of Directors, were reimbursed by Ocidental Vida.

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 40), are analysed as follows:

2013 2012
Euros '000 Euros '000
Balance as at 1 January 4,413 5,504

Balance at the end of the year 4,176 4,413

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 with reference to 31 December 2013 and 2012:

2013 2012
Increase in future compensation levels 1% until 2016 1% until 2016
1.75% after 2017 1.75% after 2017
0% until 2016 0% until 2016
Rate of pensions increase 0.75% after 2017 0.75% after 2017
Projected rate of return of fund assets 4.00% 4.50%
Discount rate 4.00% 4.50%
Mortality tables
Men TV 73/77 - 1 year TV 73/77 - 1 year
Women TV 88/90 - 2 years TV 88/90 - 2 years
Disability rate 0% 0%
Turnover rate 0% 0%
Costs with health benefits increase rate 6.50% 6.50%

The mortality tables consider an age inferior to the effective age of the beneficiaries, one year for men and two years for women, which is translated in higher average life expectancy.

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

The determination of the discount rate as at 31 December 2013, took into account (i) the evolution in the major indexes in relation to high quality corporate bonds and (ii) duration of benefit plan liabilities.

The Group face to (i) the positive deviations observed in the last financial year and (ii) the current trend of wages evolution and the economic situation at this time, led to a growth rate of wages progressive of 1% by 2016 and 1.75% from 2017 and a growth rate of pensions from 0% by 2016 and 0.75% from 2017.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, mandatory for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2013, the rate of return on plan assets considered in the calculation of the present value of the liabilities, corresponds to the discount rate.

However, the estimated expected return for 2014 is as follows:

2014
Asset class Portfolio % Estimated return
Shares 26.77% 8.72%
Bonds and other fixed income securities 29.09% 4.80%
Participations units in investment funds 9.06% 2.25%
Participation units in real estate funds 10.99% 0.56%
Properties 12.22% 6.70%
Loans and advances to credit institutions and others 11.87% 2.55%
Total income expected 5.12%

Net actuarial losses amounts to Euros 212,249,000 (31 December 2012: actuarial losses of Euros 164,191,000) and are related to the difference between the actuarial assumptions used for the estimation of the pension liabilities and the actual liabilities and are analysed as follows:

Health benefit costs have a significant impact on pension costs. Considering this impact the Group performed a sensitivity analysis assuming one percent positive variation in health benefit costs (from 6.5% to 7.5% at the end of 2013) and a negative variation (from 6.5% to 5.5% at the end of 2013) in health benefit costs, which impact is analysed as follows:

The liabilities related to the seniority premium are not covered by the Group's Pension Fund because they are not considered post-employment liabilities. As at 31 December, 2013, the liabilities associated with the seniority premium amounted to Euros 49,412,000 (31 December, 2012: 49,562,000 Euros) and are covered by provisions in the same amount, according to the note 40.

All other businesses are allocated to the segment Others 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.

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, are based on Basel II methodology. Following the request submitted by the Bank, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of that methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. With effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of credit conversion factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. In 31 December 2013, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of the IRB approach to real estate credit portfolios, as well as the adoption of own estimates of LGD to the risk class "Companies" in Portugal.

Additionally, the standard approach for operational risk and the internal models approach for general market risk and foreign exchange risk, were adopted for the perimeter managed centrally from Portugal. The capital allocation for each segment, in 2012 and 2013, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment. 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. For 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.

Information related to 2012 is presented on a comparable basis with information related to 2013, reflecting the current organisational structure of the Group's business areas referred to in the segment description described above, and considering the effect of the transfer of clients.

The following information is based on financial statements prepared according to IFRS and on the organisational model in place for the Group, as at 31 December 2013.

The Group operates with special emphasis in the Portuguese market, and also in a few affinity markets and in markets of recognised growth potential. Considering this, the geographical segments include Portugal, Poland, Mozambique, Angola and Other. The segment Portugal reflects, essentially, the activities carried out by Banco Comercial Português in Portugal, ActivoBank and Banco de Investimento Imobiliário. The segment Poland includes the business carried out by Bank Millennium (Poland); while the segment Mozambique contains the activity of BIM - Banco Internacional de Moçambique and the segment Angola contains the activity of Banco Millennium Angola. The segment Other, indicated within the geographical segment reporting, comprises the Group's operations not included in the remaining segments, namely the activities developed in other countries, such as Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands.

Following the conclusion on 19 June 2013 of the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, in accordance with the general conditions announced, and according to IFRS 5, Millennium bank in Greece is now classified as a discontinued operation, with the impact on results presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as income arising from discontinued operations for comparison, the income statement was restated as at 31 December 2012. In terms of the consolidated balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Greece are no longer disclosed for the subsequent periods starting on 30 June 2013.

Additionally, as regards the commitment agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp) on the Bank's Restructuring Plan, in particular the sale of Millennium bcp's operation in Romania in the mid-term and the implementation of a new approach to the assets management business, the activities of Millennium bank in Romania and of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos were also presented on the line item of "income arising from discontinued operations", with the restatement of profit and loss account as at 31 December 2012, for comparative purposes.

53. Risk Management

The Group is subject to several risks during the course of its business. The risks from different companies of the Group are managed centrally coordinating with the local departments and considering the specific risks of each business.

The Group's risk-management policy is designed to ensure adequate relationship at all times between its own funds and the business it carries on, and also to evaluate the risk/return profile by business line.

Monitoring and control of the main types of financial risk – credit, market, liquidity and operational – to which the Group's business is subject are of particular importance.

Main Types of Risk

Credit – Credit risk is associated with the degree of uncertainty of the expected returns as a result of the inability either of the borrower (and the guarantor, if any) or of the issuer of a security or of the counterparty to an agreement to fulfils their obligations.

Market – Market risk reflects the potential loss inherent in a given portfolio as a result of changes in rates (interest and exchange) and/or in the prices of the various financial instruments that make up the portfolio, considering both the correlations that exist between them and the respective volatility.

Liquidity – Liquidity risk reflects the Group's inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring in significant losses resulting from the deterioration of the funding conditions (funding risk) and/or from the sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).

Operational – Operational risk is understood to be the potential loss resulting from failures or inadequacies in internal procedures, persons or systems, and also the potential losses resulting from external events.

Internal Organisation

The Banco Comercial Português Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of the risk policy, including the approval at the very highest level of the principles and rules to be followed in risk management, as well as the guidelines dictating the allocation of economic capital to the business lines.

The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, ensures the existence of adequate risk control and of risk-management systems at the level both of the Group and of each entity. At the proposal of the Banco Comercial Português Executive Committee, the Board of Directors also approves the risk-tolerance level acceptable to the Group.

The Risk Commission is responsible for monitoring the overall levels of risk incurred, ensuring that they are compatible with the objectives and strategies approved for the business.

The Group Risk Officer is responsible for the control of risks in all the Group entities, in order to ensure that the risks are monitored on an overall basis and that there is alignment of concepts, practices and objectives. It must also keep the Risk Commission informed of the Group's level of risk, proposing measures to improve control and implementing the approved limits.

The activity of every entity included within the Banco Comercial Português consolidation perimeter is governed by the principles and decisions established centrally by the Risk Commission and the main subsidiaries are provided with Risk Office structures which are established in accordance with the risks inherent in their particular business. A Risk Control Commission has been set up at each relevant subsidiary, responsible for the control of risks at local level, in which the Group Risk Officer takes part.

The Group Head of Compliance is responsible for implementing systems of monitoring the compliance with legal obligations and responsibilities to which the Bank is subject, as well, the prevention, monitoring and reporting of risks in organizational processes, which include, among others, the prevention of money laundering, combating financing of terrorism, prevention of conflict of interest, issues related to abuse of market and compliance with the disclosure requirements to customers.

Risk Evaluation and Management Model

For purposes of profitability analysis and risk quantification and control, each entity is divided into the following management areas:

  • Trading and Sales: involves those positions whose objective is to obtain short-term gains through sale or revaluation. These positions are actively managed, are tradable without restriction and may be valued frequently and precisely, including the securities, the derivatives and the sales activities;

  • Financing: Financing operations of the group in the market, including both money market operations and institutional ones (and possible risk coverage), but no structural financing transactions (e.g. subordinated debt);

  • Investment: includes those positions in securities to be held to maturity, during a longer period of time or those that are not tradable on liquid markets, or any others that are held with no other purpose than short-term gains. Also includes any other hedging risk operation associated to those;

  • Commercial: includes all operations (assets and liabilities) held at the normal course of business group with its customers; - ALM: is the Assets and Liabilities management function, including operations decided by CALCO in the group's global risk management function and centralizes the transfer of risk between the remaining areas;

  • Structural: deals with balance sheet elements or operations that, because of their nature, are not directly related to any of the other areas, including structural financing operations of the group, capital and balance sheet fixed items;

The definition of the management areas allows effective separation of the management of the trading and banking portfolios, as well as a proper allocation of each operation to the most appropriate management area according to their context.

Risk assessment

Credit Risk

Credit granting is based on prior classification of the customers' risk and on thorough assessment of the level of protection provided by the underlying collateral. In order to do so, a single risk-notation system has been introduced, the Rating Master Scale. It is based on the expected probability of default, allowing greater discrimination in the assessment of the customers and better establishment of the hierarchies of the associated risk. The Rating Master Scale also identifies those customers showing worsening credit capacity and, in particular, those classified as being in default in keeping with the Basel II Accord.

All the rating and scoring models used by the Group have been duly calibrated for the Rating Master Scale.

The protection-level concept has been introduced as a crucial element of evaluation of the effectiveness of the collateral in credit-risk mitigation, leading to more active collateralization of loans and more adequate pricing of the risk incurred.

To quantify the credit risk at the level of the various portfolios, the Group has developed a model based on an actuarial approach, which provides the distribution of total loss probability. In addition to the Probability of Default (PD) and of the Amount of the Loss Given Default (LGD) as the central points, consideration is also given to the uncertainty associated with the development of these parameters, through the introduction of the respective volatility. The effects of diversification and/or concentration between the sectors of the loan portfolios are quantified by introducing the respective correlations.

The gross Group's exposure to credit risk (original exposure), as at 31 December 2013 and 2012 is presented in the following table:

Market Risks

The Group in monitoring and control of market risk existing in the diverse portfolios (according to the previous definition), uses an integrated risk measure that includes the main types of market risk identified by the Group: generic risk, specific risk, non linear risk and commodities risk.

The measure used in evaluating the generic market risk is the VaR (Value at Risk). The VaR is calculated on the basis of the analysis approximation defined in the methodology developed by the RiskMetrics. It is calculated considering a 10-working day time horizon and an unilateral statistical confidence interval of 99%. In calculating the volatility associated with each risk factor, is performed using the econometric model estimation EWMA that assumes a greater weighting for the market conditions seen in the more recent days, thus ensuring more accurate adjustment to market conditions.

A specific risk evaluation model is also applied to securities (bonds, shares, certificates, etc) and associated derivatives for which the performance is related to its value. With the necessary adjustments, this model follows regulatory standard methodology.

Complementary measures are also used for other types of risk, a risk measure that incorporates the non-linear risk of options not covered in the VaR model, with a confidence interval of 99% and a standard measure for commodities risks.

These measures are included in the indicator of market risk with the conservative assumption of perfect correlation between the various types of risk.

Capital at risk values are determined both on an individual basis for each one of the position portfolios of those areas having responsibilities in risk taking and management, as well as in consolidated terms taking into account the effects of diversification between the various portfolios.

To ensure that the VaR model adopted is appropriate to the evaluation of the risks involved in the positions that have been assumed, a back testing process has been instituted. This is carried out on a daily basis and it confronts the VaR indicators with the actual results.

The following table shows the main indicators for these measures to the trading portfolio, during 2013:

Evaluation of the interest rate risk originated by the banking portfolio is performed by a risk sensitivity analysis process carried out every month for all operations included in the Group's consolidated balance sheet.

For this analysis are considered the financial characteristics of the contracts available in information systems. Based on these data, a projection for expected cash flows is made, according to the repricing dates and any prepayment assumptions considered.

Aggregation of the expected cash flows for each time interval for each of the currencies under analysis allows determination of the interest rate gaps per repricing period.

The interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet in each currency is calculated through the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch after discounting the market interest rates and the discounted value of the same cash flows by simulating parallel shifts of the market interest rates.

The following tables shows the expected impact on the banking books economic value of parallel shifts of the yield curve by +/- 100 and +/- 200 basis points, on each of the main currencies:

The Group limits the foreign currency exposure of investments made in subsidiaries abroad through the financing of net investments in money market operations and deposits from customer in the same currencies that makes the referred investments. The information of net investments, considered by the Group in hedging strategies on subsidiaries and on hedging instruments used, is as follows:

The information on the gains and losses in exchange rates on the loans to cover the investments in foreign institutions, accounted for as exchange differences, is presented in the statement of changes in equity.

The ineffectiveness generated in the hedging operations is recognised in the statement of income, as referred in the accounting policy 1 e).

Liquidity risk

Evaluation of the Group's liquidity risk is carried out using indicators defined by the supervisory authorities on a regular basis and other internal metrics for which exposure limits are also defined.

The evolution of the Group's liquidity situation for short-term time horizons (up to 3 months) is reviewed daily on the basis of two indicators defined in-house, immediate liquidity and quarterly liquidity. These measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise on a single day, considering the cash-flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively.

Calculation of these indicators involves adding to the liquidity position of the day under analysis the estimated future cash flows for each day of the respective time horizon (3 days or 3 months) for the transactions as a whole brokered by the markets areas, including the transactions with customers of the Corporate and Private networks that, for their dimension, have to be quoted by the Trading Room. The amount of assets in the Bank's securities portfolio considered highly liquid is added to the calculated value, leading to determination of the liquidity gap accumulated for each day of the period under review.

In parallel, the evolution of the Group's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis identifying all the factors that justify the variations that occur. This analysis is submitted to the Capital and Assets and Liabilities Committee (CALCO) for appraisal, in order to enable the decision making that leads to the maintenance of financing conditions adequate to the continuation of the business.

In addition, the Risks Commission is responsible for controlling the liquidity risk.

This control is reinforced with the monthly execution of stress tests, to characterize the Bank's risk profile and to ensure that the Group and each of its subsidiaries, fulfil its obligations in the event of a liquidity crisis. These tests are also used to support the liquidity contingency plan and management decisions.

In the current conjuncture, and given the continued prudent management of liquidity by the Group during the course of this whole situation, has been reinforced the buffer role provided by the liquidity asset portfolio discountable with the ECB (or other Central Banks). In this line, the portfolio of discountable assets to the ECB finished the year of 2013 with a value of Euro 17,803,957,000, slightly above the end of 2012 figure, even considering the loss of eligibility of some assets and the sale of the Greek operation.

The eligible pool of assets for funding operations in the European Central Bank and other Central Banks in Europe, net of haircuts, is detailed as follows:

2013 2012
Euros '000 Euros '000
European Central Bank 17,803,957 17,690,385
Other Central Banks 1,918,129 986,636
19,722,086 18,677,021

As at 31 December 2013, the amount discounted in the European Central Bank and Other Central Banks amounted to Euros 11,000,000,000 and Euros 0 respectively (31 December 2012: Euros 12,255,000,000 and Euros 0).

The amount of eligible assets for funding operations in the European Central Banks includes securities issued by SPEs concerning securitization operations in which the assets were not derecognised at a consolidated level, therefore the respective securities are not recognised in the securities portfolio.

The evolution of the Pool Monetary Policy of the ECB and the corresponding collaterals used is analysed as follows:

Euros '000
Jan 11 Dec 13 Jan 11Sep 13 Jan 11Jun 12 Mar 13 Dec 12
Total collateral after haircuts 17,803,957 19,551,827 15,807,708 17,554,340 17,690,385
Collateral used 11,000,000 12,900,000 11,900,000 11,209,000 12,255,000
Collateral available after haircuts 6,803,957 6,651,827 3,907,708 6,345,340 5,435,385

The indicated value "Total collateral after haircuts" corresponds to the amount reported in SITEME (application of the Bank of Portugal), which does not include, with reference to 31 December 2013:

i) - the other eligible assets and those temporarily out of the pool, which together totaled Euros 2,101,477,000; ii) - deposits made with the Bank of Portugal, deducted from the minimum cash reserves and accrued interest in the amount of Euros 1,025,226,000.

Thus, as at 31 December 2013, the liquidity mobilized through collateral available, plus deposits with the Bank of Portugal deducted from the minimum cash reserves and accrued interest, amounted to Euros 9,930,660,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 11,775,891.000).

The main liquidity ratios of the Group, according to the definitions of the Instruction n.º 13/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, had the following evolution:

Reference value 2013 2012

Operational Risk

The approach to operational risk management is based on the business and support end-to-end processes. Process management is the responsibility of the Process Owners, who are the first parties responsible for evaluation of the risks and for strengthening the performance within the scope of their processes. The Process Owners are responsible for keeping up to date all the relevant documentation concerning the processes, for ensuring the real adequacy of all the existing controls through direct supervision or by delegation on the departments responsible for the controls in question, for coordinating and taking part in the risk self-assessment exercises, and for detecting and implementing improvement opportunities, including mitigating measures for the more significant exposures.

In the operational risk model implemented in the Group, there is a systematic process of gathering information on operational losses that defines on a systematic form, the causes and the effects associated to an eventual detected loss. From the analysis of the historical information and its relationships, processes involving greater risk are identified and mitigation measures are launched to reduce the critical exposures.

Covenants

The contractual terms of instruments of wholesale funding encompass obligations assumed by entities belonging to the Group as debtors or issuers, concerning general duties of societary conduct, maintenance of banking activity and the inexistence of special guarantees constituted for the benefit of other creditors ("negative pledge"). These terms reflect essentially the standards internationally adopted for each type of instrument.

The terms of the Group's participation in securitization operations involving its own assets are subject to mandatory changes in case the Group stops respecting certain rating criteria. The criteria established in each transaction results mainly from the existing risk analysis at the moment that the transaction was set, being these methodologies usually applied by each rating agency in a standardised way to all the securitization transactions involving the same type of loans.

Regarding the Covered Bond Programs of Banco Comercial Português and Banco de Investimento Imobiliário that are currently underway, there are no relevant covenants related to a possible downgrade of the Bank.

54. Solvency

Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. With effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. With effect as from 31 December 2013, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of the IRB approach to the real estate promotion credit portfolios, as well as the adoption of own estimates of LGD for the risk class "Corporates" in Portugal. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) to the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.

Consolidated own funds of Banco Comercial Português are determined according to the applicable regulatory rules, namely the Regulation nº6/2010 from the Bank of Portugal. The own funds result from adding tier 1 with tier 2 and subtracting the component of Deductions. For the calculation of tier 1 are considered the core tier 1 elements, established in the Regulation nº3/2011, and other relevant elements to the discharge of tier 1. The tier 1 and, in particular, core tier 1, comprises the steadiest components of the own funds.

As core tier 1 positive elements, the paid-up capital and the share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State in the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, the reserves and the retained earnings, non-controlling interests in fully consolidated subsidiaries and the deferred impacts related to the transition adjustments to the International Financial Reporting Standards, are considered. Net losses, own shares, the shortfall of impairment to the regulatory provisions of the Regulation nº3/95 from the Bank of Portugal, calculated on an individual basis for exposures treated by the standardised approach (revokd by Regulation nº3/203 from the Bank of Portugal), goodwill and other intangible assets correspond to negative elements.

At the end of the 2011 the Bank decided for a change in the accounting policy related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses of the Pension Fund. Accordingly, and following an analysis of the options permitted by the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 - Employee benefits, the Group decided to recognize the actuarial gains and losses against reserves. Previously, the Group used to defer actuarial gains and losses according to the corridor method, in which the unrecognised actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the largest among between the current value of the liabilities and the fair value of the assets were recognised against the income statement according to the estimated remaining useful life of active employees.

Despite this change in accounting policy, the Bank of Portugal, for prudential purposes, allowed to continue to be used a corridor, corresponding to the higher value between i) 10% of liabilities from retirement and other pensions benefits, and ii) 10% of the value of the Pension Fund, as defined in the Regulation nº2/2012 from the Bank of Portugal.

Core tier 1 can also be influenced by the replacement of unrealised gains and losses which do not represent impairment on debt securities, loans and other receivables recorded in the available-for-sale portfolio, on cash-flow hedge transactions and on financial liabilities at fair value through profits and losses, net of taxes, to the extent related to own credit risk, as well as by the reversal of unrealised gains on equity securities classified as available-for-sale and loans and other receivables from the trading portfolio or measured at fair value through profits and losses.

Since the second half of 2011, the Bank of Portugal established new rules which have influenced the core tier 1 of the Group:

  • In November 2011, the Bank of Portugal issued a clarification regarding the Regulation nº 6/2010, determining a deduction to core tier 1 related to customers deposits with yields above a certain threshold (Instruction nº15/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).

  • In June 2012, the Bank issue Euros 3,000 millions of core tier 1 capital instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the recapitalization process of the Goup and in accordance with Regulation n. 3/2011 from the Bank of Portugal. These instruments eligible until tha maximum of 50% of core tier 1.

The additional elements that integrate the tier I are preference shares and other hybrid instruments, up to the limit of 15% and 35% of tier 1, respectively, and even some deductions taken by 50%: (i) of interests held in financial institutions and insurers; and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach.

The tier 2 includes the subordinated debt and 45% of the unrealized gains on avalable for sale assets that have been deducted to core tier 1. These components are part of the upper tier 2, except the subordinated debt, that is split between upper tier 2 (perpetual debt) and lower tier 2 (the remaining). Subordinated debt can only be included in the own funds with the agreement of the Bank of Portugal and as long as their total amount complies with the following limits: a) the tier 2 cannot surpass the amount of the tier 1 and b) the lower tier 2 cannot surpass 50% of the tier 1. Additionally, non-perpetual subordinated loans should be amortised at a 20% annual rate, during the last five years to maturity. The tier 2 is also subject to the deduction of the remaining 50% not deducted to the tier 1: (i) of interests held in financial institutions (more than 10%) and insurers (at least 20%); and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach. If the amount of tier 2 is not enough to accommodate this deduction, the excess should be subtracted to the tier 1.

In order to conclude the calculation of the regulatory capital, there are still some deductions to the own funds that need to be performed, namely the amount of real-estate assets resulting from recovered loans that have exceeded the regulatory period of permanence in the Bank's accounts, the impairment concerning securitization transactions that have not reached the regulatory definition of effective risk transfer, to the extent of the amounts not recognised in the Bank's accounts, and the potential excess of exposure to risk limits in the scope of Bank of Portugal published Regulation nº7/2010.

Capital requirements have been determined in accordance with the Basel II framework since the beginning of 2008. Capital requirements for credit risk have been determined in accordance with the Regulation nº5/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using IRB approaches to calculate minimum capital requirements for exposures managed from Portugal, covering a substantial part of the retail and corporate portfolios, and for a significant part of the retail portfolio of Poland as from 31 December 2012, and the standardised approach for the remaining portfolios and geographies.

Capital requirements for operational risk have been calculated following the standard approach described in the Regulation nº9/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, and capital requirements for the trading portfolio have been calculated according to the Regulation nº8/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using the internal models approach to calculate capital requirements for the generic market risk of the trading portfolio, comprising the sub-portfolios managed from Portugal, related to debt instruments, capital instruments and foreign exchange risks, and the standardised approach to calculate capital requirements for the specific risk.

Additionally, in the scope of the program of financial assistance to Portugal, the Bank of Portugal established, through the Regulation nº3/2011, that financial groups should reinforce their core tier 1 ratios, on a consolidated basis, to at least 10% until 31 December 2012. In accordance to the criteria defined by EBA, which include the capital buffer of Euros 848 million related to sovereign risks, the BCP Group should report a core tier 1 ratio of at least 9%.

On 22 July 2013, EBA released a recommendation establishing the preservation of a nominal floor of core tier I capital corresponding to the amount of capital needed to meet the core tier 1 ratio of 9% as at 30 June 2012, including the same capital buffer for exposures to sovereign risk, in order to ensure an appropriate transition to the stricter requirements of the CRD IV/CRR.

This recommendation foresees the waive of the nominal floor in cases of restructuring plans and specific de-risking programs and for those banks whose common equity tier 1 level is above the minimum capital requirements and the capital conservation buffer computed under fully implemented CRD IV/CRR requirements, for which the nominal capital floor may be set taking as reference a later date, upon a request from the credit institutions to the Bank of Portugal and its subsequent assessment. In this context, Millenniumbcp submitted that request, in due time, which is currently under review.

The own funds and the capital requirements determined according to the methodologies previously referred, for 31 December 2013 and 2012, are the following:

55. Accounting standards recently issued

Accounting standards and interpretations recently issued

Recently Issued pronouncements already adopted by the Group in preparation of the Financial Statements are the following:

IAS 19 Revised – Employee Benefits

The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 19 – Employee Benefits", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 475/2012, 5th June.

As a result of IAS 19 (2011), the Group has changed its accounting policy with respect to the basis for determining the income or expense related to its defined benefit plans. Under IAS 19 (2011), the Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments.

Consequently, the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) now comprises: (i) interest cost on the defined benefit obligation; (ii) interest income on plan assets; and (iii) interest on the effect on the asset ceiling.

Previously, the Group determined interest income based on the long-term rate of expected return of plan assets.

The changes did not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.

Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income – Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 475/2012, 5th June.

As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the Group has modified the presentation of items of OCI in its statement of profit or loss and OCI, to present items that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future separately from those that would never be. Comparative information has been re-presented on the same basis.

IFRS 7 (Amended) - Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1256/2012, 11th December.

The Group did not have any impact from the adoption of the changes.

Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011)

The annual improvements cycle 2009-2011, issued by IASB on 17th May 2012, and endorsed by EU Commission Regulation301/2013, 27th March, introduce amendments, with effective date for annual periods beginning on, or after, 1st January 2013, to the standards IFRS 1, IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32, IAS 34 and IFRIC 2.

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is the information disclosed in the previous period.

IAS 16 - Property Plant and Equipment

This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory.

IAS 32 - Financial Instruments, Presentation and IFRIC 2

The improvement clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, avoiding any interpretation that may mean any other application.

IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting

The amendments align the disclosure requirement for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures in relation to the changes of profit and loss account and other comprehensive income.

The Group had no impact from the adoption of the improvements 2009-2011, taking into consideration the accounting policies already adopted.

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 13 - Fair value Measurement", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1255/2012, 11th December.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, the Group has applied the new definition of fair value, as set out in note 1a), prospectively. The change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Group's assets and liabilities, but the group has included new disclosures in the financial statements, which are required under IFRS 13. These new disclosure requirements are not included in the comparative information. However, to the extent that these disclosures were required by other standards before the effective date of IFRS 13, the Group has provided the relevant comparative disclosures under those standards.

IFRIC 20 - Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), issued on 19th October 2011, "IFRIC 20 - Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1255/2012, 11th December.

Given the nature of the Group´s operation, this interpretation did not have any impact on the financial statements.

The Group decided to opt for not having an early application of the following standards endorsed by EU but not yet mandatory effective:

IAS 32 (Amended) - Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1256/2012, 11th December.

The IASB amended IAS 32 to add application guidance to address the inconsistent application of the standard in practice. The application guidance clarifies that the phrase 'currently has a legal enforceable right of set-off' means that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in the normal course of business, in the event of default and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy, of the entity and all of the counterparties.

The application guidance also specifies the characteristics of gross settlement systems in order to be considered equivalent to net settlement.

The Group is not expecting a significant impact form the adoption of the amendment to IAS 32, taking into consideration the accounting policy already adopted.

IAS 27 (Revised) – Separate Financial Statements

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, amendments to "IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December.

Taking in consideration that IFRS 10 addresses the principles of control and the requirements relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, IAS 27 was amended to cover exclusively separate financial statements.

The amendments aimed, on one hand, to clarify the disclosures required by an entity preparing separate financial statements so that the entity would be required to disclose the principal place of business (and country of incorporation, if different) of significant investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates and, if applicable, of the parent.

The previous version required the disclosure of the country of incorporation or residence of such entities.

On the other hand, it was aligned the effective dates for all consolidated standards (IFRS10, IFRS11, IFRS12, IFRS13 and amendments to IAS 28).

The Group expects no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.

IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

IFRS 10, withdraw one part of IAS 27 and SIC 12, and introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated.

The new concept of control involves the assessment of power, exposure to variability in returns and a linkage between the two. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variability of returns from its involvement with the investee and is able to affect those returns through its power over the investee (facto control).

The investor considers whether it controls the relevant activities of the investee, taking into consideration the new concept. The assessment should be done at each reporting period because the relation between power and exposure to the variability of returns may change over the time.

Control is usually assessed over a legal entity, but also can be assessed over only specified assets and liabilities of an investee (referred to as silo).

The new standard also introduce other changes such as: i) accounting requirements for subsidiaries in consolidation financial statements that are carried forward from IAS 27 to this new standards and ii) enhanced disclosures requirements, including specific disclosures for consolidated and unconsolidated structured entities.

The Group is assessing the impact of the introduction of this standard, however the Group does not expects a significant impact.

IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 11 Joint arrangements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

IFRS 11 withdraw IAS 31 and SIC 13, defines "joint control" by incorporating the same control model as defined in IFRS 10 and requires an entity that is part of a "join arrangement" to determine the nature of the joint arrangement ("joint operations" or "joint ventures") by assessing its rights and obligations.

IFRS 11 removes the option to account for joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation. Instead, joint arrangements that meet the definition of "joint venture" must be account for using the equity method (IAS 28).

The Group is assessing the impact of the introduction of this standard, however the Group does not expects a significant impact.

IAS 28 (Revised) – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. This amendment was endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 has been renamed as IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures and associates.

The Group expects no significant impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.

IFRS 12 – Disclosures of Interest in Other Entities

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. This amendment was endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

The objective of this new standard is to require an entity to disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate: (a) the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities; and (b) the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.

The Group is still assessing the full impact of the new IFRS 12 in align with IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

Investment Entities – Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 8 (issued by IASB on 31st October 2012)

The amendments apply to a particular class of business that qualify as investment entities. The IASB uses the term 'investment entity' to refer to an entity whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both. An investment entity must also evaluate the performance of its investments on a fair value basis. Such entities could include private equity organisations, venture capital organisations, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other investment funds.

The amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirements in IFRS 10 and require investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them. The amendments also set out disclosure requirements for investment entities.

The amendments are effective from 1 January 2014 with early adoption permitted. This option allows investment entities to apply the new amendments of IFRS 10 after 1st January, 2013. This standard was adopted by the European Commission Regulation no. º 1374/2013, of 20th November.

The Group is assessing the impact of the introduction of this standard.

IAS 36 (Revised) – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

The IASB, issued on 29th May 2013, this amendment, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1374/2013, 19th December.

The objective of the amendments is to clarify that the scope of the disclosures of information about the recoverable amount of assets, where that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, is limited to impaired assets.

IAS 39 (Revised) – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting

The IASB, issued on 27th June 2013, this amendment, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1375/2013, 19th December.

The objective of the amendments is to provide relief in situations where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. Such a relief means that hedge accounting can continue irrespective of the novation which, without the amendment, would not be permitted.

31 December, 2013

Recently Issued pronouncements that are not yet effective for the Group

IAS 19 (Revised) – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions

The IASB, issued on 21th November 2013, this amendment, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July 2014.

The Amendment clarifies the guidance on attributing employee or third party contributions linked to service and requires entities to attribute the contributions linked to service in accordance with paragraph 70 of IAS 19 (2011). Therefore, such contributions are attributed using plan's contribution formula or on a straight line basis.

The amendment addresses the complexity by introducing a practical expedient that allows an entity to recognise employee or third party contributions linked to service that are independent of the number of years of service (for example a fixed percentage of salary), as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered.

IFRIC 21 - Levies

The IASB, issued on 20th May 2013, this interpretation, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014.

IFRIC 21 defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in accordance with legislation. It confirms that an entity recognises a liability for a levy when – and only when – the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs. IFRIC 21 is not expected to have any effect on the Group's financial statements.

Improvements to IFRS (2010-2012)

The annual improvements cycle 2010-2012, issued by IASB on 12th December 2013, introduce amendments, with effective date on, or after, 1st July 2014, to the standards IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS16, IAS24 and IAS38.

IFRS 2 – Definition of vesting condition

The amendment clarify the definition of 'vesting conditions' in Appendix A of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment by separate the definition of performance condition and service condition from the definition of vesting condition to make the description of each condition clear.

IFRS 3 – Accounting for contingent consideration in a business combination

The objective of this amendment is to clarify certain aspects of accounting for contingent consideration in a business combination, namely: classification of contingent consideration in a business combination and subsequent measurement, taking into account if such contingent consideration is a financial instrument or a non-financial asset or liability.

IFRS 8 – Aggregation of operation segments and reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments' assets to entity's assets

The amendment clarify the criteria for aggregation of operating segments and requires entities to disclose those factors that are used to identify the entity's reportable segments when operating segments have been aggregated. To achieve consistency, reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments' assets to the entity's assets should be disclosed, if that amount is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker.

IFRS 13 – Short-term receivables and payables

IASB amends the basis of conclusion in order to clarify that, by deleting IAS 39AG79, in applying IFRS 3, IASB did not intend to change the measurement requirements for short-term receivables and payables with no interest, that should be discount if such discount is material, noting that IAS 8.8 already permits entities not apply accounting polices set out in accordance with IFRSs when the effect of applying them is immaterial.

IAS 16 & IAS 38 – Revaluation method – proportionate restatement accumulated depreciation or amortization

In order to clarify the calculation of the accumulated depreciation or amortization at the date of the revaluation, IASB amended paragraph 35 of IAS 16 and paragraph 80 of IAS 38 to clarify that: (i) the determination of the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) does not depend on the selection of the valuation technique; and (ii) the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) is calculated as the difference between the gross and the net carrying amounts.

IAS 24 – Related Party Transactions – Key management personal services

In order to address the concerns about the identification of key management personal (KMP) costs, when KMP services of the reporting entity are provided by entities (management entity e.g. in mutual funds), IASB clarifies that, the disclosure of the amounts incurred by the entity for the provision of KMP services that are provided by a separate management entity shall be disclosed but it is not necessary to present the information required in paragraph 17.

Improvements to IFRS (2011-2013)

The annual improvements cycle 2011-2013, issued by IASB on 12th December 2013, introduce amendments, with effective date on, or after, 1st July 2014, to the standards IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40.

IFRS 1 – Meaning of "effective IFRS"

IASB clarifies that if a new IFRS is not yet mandatory but permits early application, that IFRS is permitted, but not required, to be applied in the entity's first IFRS financial statements.

IFRS 3 – Scope exceptions for joint ventures

The amendment excludes the formation of all types of joint arrangements as defined in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements from the scope of IFRS 3. The scope exception only applies to the financial statements of the joint venture or the joint operation itself.

IFRS 13 – Scope of paragraph 52 – portfolio exception

Paragraph 52 of IFRS 13 includes a scope exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis. This is referred to as the portfolio exception. The objective of this amendment was to clarify that the portfolio exception applies to all contracts within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.

IAS 40 – Interrelationship with IFRS 3 when classify property as investment property or owner-occupied property

The objective of this amendment was to clarify that judgment is needed to determine whether the acquisition of investment property is the acquisition of an asset, a group of assets or a business combination in the scope of IFRS 3 and that this judgment is based on the guidance in IFRS 3.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments (issued in 2009 and revised in 2010 and 2013)

IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 (2010) introduces additions relating to financial liabilities. IFRS 9 (2013) introduces the hedging requirements. The IASB currently has an active project of additional disclosures requirements limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets.

The IFRS 9 (2009) requirements represent a significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39 in respect of financial assets. The standard contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost and fair value. A financial asset would be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets would be measured at fair value. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables.

For an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the standard permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual shareby-share basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in OCI. No amount recognised in OCI would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments would be recognised in profit or loss, rather than OCI, unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment.

Investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in OCI would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

The standard requires derivatives embedded in contracts with a host that is a financial asset in the scope of the standard not to be separated; instead, the hybrid financial instrument is assessed in its entirety for whether it should be measured at amortised cost or fair value.

IFRS 9 (2010) introduces a new requirement in respect of financial liabilities designated under the fair value option to generally present fair value changes that are attributable to the liability's credit risk in OCI rather than in profit or loss. Apart from this change, IFRS 9 (2010) largely carries forward without substantive amendment the guidance on classification and measurement of financial liabilities from IAS 39.

IFRS 9 (2013) introduces new requirements for hedge accounting that align hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The requirements also establish a more principles-based approach to hedge accounting and address inconsistencies and weaknesses in the hedge accounting model in IAS 39.

The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 is not specified but will be determined when the outstanding phases are finalised.

The Group has started the process of evaluating the potential effect of this standard but is waiting for the finalisation of the limited amendments before the evaluation can be completed. Given the nature of the Group's operations, this standard is expected to have a pervasive impact on the Group's financial

56. Relevant Administrative proceedings underway and related proceedings

  1. At the end of the year 2007, the Bank received a formal notice dated 27 December 2007 informing that administrative proceedings no. 24/07/CO were brought by the Bank of Portugal against the Bank and against seven former Directors and two Managers, "based on preliminary evidence of administrative offences foreseen in the General Framework of Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (approved by Decree-Law no. 298/92, 31 December ), in particular with respect to breach of accounting rules, provision of false or incomplete information to the Bank of Portugal, in particular in what respects to the amount of own funds and breach of prudential obligations".

A press release issued by the Bank of Portugal on 28 December 2007 mentioned that such administrative proceedings were initiated "based on facts related to 17 off-shore entities, whose nature and activities were always hidden from the Bank of Portugal, in particular in previous inspections carried out".

On 12 December 2008, the Bank was notified of an accusation under administrative proceedings no. 24/07/CO instructed by the Bank of Portugal, in which this Authority charges the Bank and the other defendants, with the practice of six administrative offences regulated by paragraph g) and three administrative offences regulated by paragraph r) of article 211 of the Legal Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (LFCIFC).

The offences, should the charges be proven true, could be the following:

a) Failure to comply with the applicable accounting rules, determined by law or by the Bank of Portugal, that does not cause serious damage to the knowledge of the company's assets and financial standing is an administrative offence regulated by article 210 (f) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, if such conduct causes serious damages, it may become an offence regulated by article 211 (g) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000; and

b) (i) ) the omission of information and communications to the Bank of Portugal, within the due deadlines or (ii) the provision of incomplete information are offences regulated by article 210 (h – presently amended to i) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, (i) the provision of false information or (ii) of incomplete information to the Bank of Portugal that may lead to wrongful conclusions with the same or similar effect as false information regarding that subject are offences regulated by article 211 (r) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000.

According to the accusation, each offence is punishable by a fine between Euros 2,493.99 and Euros 2,493,989.49, and pursuant to the rules on accrued offences, defined in article 19 (1 and 2), of the Portuguese legal regime on administrative offences (Regime Geral das Contra-ordenações), in case of conviction for several offences, there shall be a single fine, the maximum amount of which cannot surpass twice the highest limit of the accrued offences.

In March 2009, the Bank did not accept the charges or accusations made and provided defence under these administrative proceedings within due term.

On 12 May 2010, the Bank was notified of the contents of the decision that, within the scope of the proceedings, was issued by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal, applying to it, as primary sanction, a single fine of Euros 5,000,000.

Different fines were applied to the remaining defendants as primary sanctions, globally amounting to Euros 4,470,000. The Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal decided to withdraw the charges relating to a former Director and a Manager.

The Bank objected to this decision and was informed of the decision to accept the legal objections presented by all the defendants.

The trial hearing began in April 2011 and, in September, the Court heard one of the witnesses, in order to better appraise the validity of the documentation provided with the claims and their eventual nullity as evidence, due to violation of banking secrecy.

After the hearing, the Court issued a decision dated of 7 October 2011 declaring that the evidence was null and therefore the entire process was annulled.

The Public Prosecutor and the Bank of Portugal appealed this decision. The Bank and other defendants presented their counter-claim.

On 5 July 2012, the Bank was notified of the decision of the Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa (Lisbon court of appeals) which approved the appeals presented by the Bank of Portugal and by the Public Prosecutor, and revoked the decision appealed, determining that, "there being no other reason not to, the trial hearing shall be continued and at the appropriate moment, a decision will be made based on the evidence".

Several defendants (natural persons) presented an appeal to the Constitutional Court.

Pursuant to a summary judgment adopted on 20 March 2013, the Constitutional Court rejected the appeals brought by the defendants, stating that those appeals did not comply with the respective requirements.

On 29 May 2013, the Constitutional Court did not accept the claims presented in the meantime by some of the defendants (natural persons), confirming the decision on which the claim was presented and the proceedings was given to the lower Stage Court for the scheduling of the trial.

Pursuant to a decision made on 27 February 2014, the "Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal de Lisboa" (court of Lisbon for minor criminal offences) scheduled a date (31 March 2014) to resume the court hearing for debate and judgement and decided to bar all offences imputed to one former Director of BCP, due to the statute of limitations. In what specifically concerns BCP, the "Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal de Lisboa" (court of Lisbon for minor criminal offences) decided to bar two administrative offences imputed to it, (alleged forging of accounting records) due to the statute of limitations. Since BCP has also been charged with the alleged practice of other administrative offences, the trial shall be resumed to handle those other administrative offences.

  1. On July 2009, the Bank was notified of the accusation brought about by the Public Prosecutor in a criminal process against five former members of the Board of Directors of the Bank, related mainly to the above mentioned facts, and to present in this process a request for an indemnity.

Considering this notification, and although considering as reproduced the contents of the defence presented in the above mentioned administrative proceedings, the Bank decided, in order to avoid any risk of a future allegation of loss of the right to an indemnity that may occur if no recourse is presented in this process, to present legal documentation claiming: (i) the recognition of its right, in a later period namely following the final identification of the facts, to present a separate process in civil courts requesting an indemnity and (ii) additionally and cautiously, if the right to the request of a separate indemnity process in civil courts is not recognised, a civil indemnity according to the facts and terms mentioned in the accusation, if they are proven.

On 19 July 2011 the Bank was notified of the decision of the 8ª Vara Criminal de Lisboa (8th Lisbon criminal court section) that recognised that the Bank could present an eventual request for civil indemnity separately. One of the Defendants appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals, which was admitted by the first instance court but has a merely devolutive effect, being passed to the higher court only with the eventual appeal of the first instance Court's sentence.

The trial hearing was held, and at the present time the delivery of the sentence is expected.

  1. On 22 June 2012, three companies controlled by the same physical person, the Ring Development Corp., the Willow Securities Inc., and the Lisop Sociedade de Serviços Investimentos e Comercio de Imobiliários Lda. (the "Plaintiffs") brought forward a lawsuit in the courts of Lisbon against Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. and the Bank requesting: (i) compensation for an unspecified amount, but always above Euros 40 millions, for alleged damages and (ii) that certain loan agreements established between the Plaintiffs and Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. in 2008, amounting to a total of around Euros 80 million be declared null but without the subsequent legal duty to return the funds borrowed. Notwithstanding the fact that the agreements are ruled by Swiss law, the Plaintiffs based their request for the agreements to be declared null on an alleged violation of the provisos of the Portuguese Companies Code, stating that the loan agreements were made to enable the Plaintiffs to purchase shares of the Bank and on the fact that they had been forced to enter into the same. The Plaintiffs based their compensation request on alleged losses incurred due to the fact that Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. triggered the agreements' clause, selling the listed shares given as pledge at base prices, as foreseen in the loan agreements, and that the Plaintiffs were not given the possibility to continue to trade the pledged assets after the execution.

The loan agreements are ruled by Swiss Law and subject to the jurisdiction of the Swiss courts and the Bank was informed that, according to Swiss law, the Plaintiffs' request is not likely to be granted. Since the lawsuit was brought forward in the Portuguese courts, if the Portuguese courts decide to try the same, its outcome may be uncertain. Since the Bank believes that the Plaintiffs' request has no grounds, the Bank did not make any provisions regarding this litigation.

On 29 October 2012, the Bank presented its arguments. Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. requested that the citation be considered null; the request was accepted and an order was issued for the repetition of the citation, and the same was repeated on 08 January 2013. Banque Privée presented its arguments on 11 March 2013. On 10 December 2013, the parties were notified to file their requests for evidence within 15 days (the deadline ends on 10 January 2014). The proceeding is waiting the scheduling of a preliminary hearing or the pronunciation of a decision accepting the formalities of right of action.

58. 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 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 financial assets sold under these transactions are derecognised from the balance sheet of the Group, since the transactions result in the transfer to the Funds of a substantial portion of the risks and benefits associated with the assets as well as the control on the assets.

The specialized funds that acquire the financial assets are closed funds, in which the holders of the participation units have no possibility to request the reimbursement of its investment 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 holds more than 50% of the capital of the Fund.

The Funds have a specific management structure (General Partner), fully independent from the banks and that is selected on the date of establishment of the Fund.

The management structure of the Fund has as main responsibilities:

  • determine the objective of the Fund;

  • 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 the majority of the transactions (in which the Group holds minority positions) establish companies under the Portuguese law in order to acquire the loans to the banks, which are financed through the issuance of senior and junior bonds. The value of the senior bonds fully subscribed by the Finds that hold the share capital of the companies match the fair value of the asset sold, determined in accordance with a negotiation based on valuations performed by both parties. These bonds are remunerated at an interest rate that reflects the risk of the company that holds the assets.

The value of the junior bonds is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior bonds and the sale value.

These junior bonds, 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 bonds plus it related interest.

However, considering that these junior bonds 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 junior bonds are fully provided.

Therefore, following the transactions, the Group subscribed:

-Participation units of the Funds, for which the cash-flows that allow the recovery arise mainly from a set of assets transferred from the participant banks (where the Group has clearly a minority interest). These securities are booked in the available for sale portfolio and are accounted for at fair value based on the market value, as disclosed by the Funds and audited at year end.

  • Junior bonds (with higher subordination degree) issued by the 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 doesn't hold substantially all the risks and rewards.

Considering that it doesn't hold control and doesn't exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Bank performed the derecognition of the assets transferred under the scope of IAS 39.20 c (i) and the recognition of the assets received as follows:

Additionally, there is an amount of Euros 27,450,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 27,450,000) booked in the loans and advances to customer's portfolio that is fully provided.

Within the scope of the transfer of assets, the junior securities subscribed which carry a subordinated nature and are directly linked to the transferred assets, are fully provided for.

Although the junior bonds are fully provided, the Group still holds an indirect exposure to financial assets transferred, under the minority investment that holds in the pool of assets transferred by all financial institutions involved, through the holding of participation units of the funds (denominated in the table as senior bonds).

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of presentation

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. Sociedade Aberta (the 'Bank') is a public bank, established in Portugal in 1985. It started operating on 5 May, 1986, and these financial statements reflect the results of the operations of the Bank, for the years ended 31 December, 2013 and 2012.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 from the European Parliament and the Council, of 19 July 2002 and Regulation no. 1/2005 from the Bank of Portugal, the Bank's financial statements are required to be prepared in accordance with "Normas de Contabilidade Ajustadas" (NCA's), issued by the Bank of Portugal, which are based in International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as endorsed by the European Union ('EU') since the year 2005, except regarding the issues defined at no.2 and no.3 of Regulation no.1/2005 and no.2 of Regulation 4/2005 from the Bank of Portugal. NCA's 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, with the exception of the issues referred in no. 2 and no. 3 of Regulation no. 1/2005 and no. 2 of Regulation no. 4/2005 of Bank of Portugal: i) maintenance of the actual requirements related with measurement and provision of loans and advances to customers, ii) employee benefits through the definition of a deferral period for the transition impact to IAS 19 and iii) restriction to the application of some issues established in IAS/IFRS. The Bank's Executive Committee approved these financial statements on 8 April 2014. 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.

The Bank's financial statements for the year ended 31 December, 2013 have been prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the NCA's, established by the Bank of Portugal and in use in the period.

The Bank has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2013, as mentioned in note 49.

The accounting policies in this note were applied consistently to all entities of the Bank and are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements of the previous period, except for the adoption and amendments to the following standards:

- IFRS 13 Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 provides a guidance about fair value measurement and replacing guidance that was scattered in several standards. The standard defines fair value as the price for which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would be realized between market participants at the measurement date. The standard has been applied prospectively by the Group, without significant impacts in the measurement of its assets and liabilities.

- IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of items of other comprehensive income

The amendments to IAS 1 only had impact on the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, which presents now the separation of the items that may be reclassified to the income statement and the items that will not be reclassified to the income statement. The comparative information was also changed.

The 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 (trading and fair value option) and available for sale assets, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are hedged 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. Noncurrent 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.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with NCA's requires 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, the results of which form the basis of 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 where assumptions and estimates are considered to be significant are presented in note 1 ac).

b) Loans and advances to customers

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

The derecognition of these assets occurs in the following situations: (i) the contractual rights of the Bank have expired; or (ii) the Bank 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, less impairment losses.

Impairment

As referred in the accounting policy described in note 1 a), the Bank has prepared its financial statements in accordance with NCA's therefore, in accordance with no. 2 and no. 3 of Regulation no. 1/2005 from the Bank of Portugal, the Bank adopted the same requirements for measurement and provision of loans and advances to customers used in the previous years, described as follows:

Specific provision for loan losses

The specific provision for loan losses is based on the appraisal of overdue loans including the related non overdue amounts and loans subject to restructuring, to cover specific credit risks. This provision is shown as a deduction against loans and advances to customers. The adequacy of this provision is reviewed regularly by the Bank, taking into consideration the existence of asset-backed guarantees, the overdue period and the current financial situation of the client.

The provision calculated under these terms, complies with the requirements established by the Bank of Portugal, in accordance with Regulations no. 3/95, of 30 June, no. 7/00, of 27 October and no. 8/03, of 30 January.

General provision for loan losses

This provision is established to cover latent bad and doubtful debts which are present in any loan portfolio, including guarantees or signature credits, but which have not been specifically identified as such. This provision is recorded under provision for liabilities and charges.

The general provision for loan losses is in accordance with Regulation no. 3/95, of 30 June, Regulation no. 2/99, of 15 January and Regulation no. 8/03, of 30 January, of the Bank of Portugal.

Provision for country risk

The provision for country risk is in accordance with Regulation no. 3/95, of 30 June from the Bank of Portugal, and is based on the Instruction no. 94/96, of 17 June, of the Bank of Portugal, including the adoption of changes made to paragraph 2.4 of the referred Instruction published in October 1998.

Write-off of loans

In accordance with "Carta-Circular" no. 15/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, loans and advances to customers are charged-off when there is no realistic expectation, from an economic perspective, of recovering the loan amount. For collateralised loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals for the part of the loans which is collateralised is effectively received and, according to Regulation no. 3/95 of the Bank of Portugal, the class of delay associated with the failure determines an allowance of 100%, by using impairment losses.

c) Financial instruments

(i) Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement

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

1a) Financial assets 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 or that 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 gains arising on trading and hedging activities.

The interest from debt instruments is recognised as interest margin.

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

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

The Bank 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 Bank's credit risk related with financial liabilities accounted under the Fair Value Option are disclosed in Net gains / (losses) arising from trading and hedging activities.

The designation of the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (Fair Value Option) by decision of the entity is performed whenever at least one of the requirements is fulfilled:

  • the 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 assets and liabilities include derivatives that significantly change the cash-flows of the original contracts (host contracts).

The financial assets and liabilities at Fair Value Option are initially accounted at their fair value, with the expenses or income related to the transactions being recognised in profit and loss and subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. The accrual of interest and premium/discount (when applicable) is recognised in Net interest income according with the effective interest rate of each transaction, as well as for the derivatives associated to financial instruments classified as Fair Value Option.

2) Financial assets available for sale

Financial assets available for sale held with the purpose of being maintained by the Bank, 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 until they are sold or an impairment loss exists. In the sale of the financial assets available for sale, the accumulated gains or losses recognised as fair value reserves are recognised under Net gains / (losses) arising from available for sale financial assets. 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 the income statement 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, that the Bank has the intention and ability to maintain until the maturity of the assets and that were not included in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or financial assets available for sale. 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 sale of financial assets included in this category that does not occur close to the maturity of the assets will require the Bank to reclassify the entire portfolio as Financial assets available for sale and the Bank 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 Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in a near future, may be classified in this category.

In addition to loans granted, the Bank 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 incremental direct 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.

5) Other financial liabilities

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

(ii) Impairment

At each balance sheet date, an assessment of the existence of objective evidence of impairment, is made. 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 quotation 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 Bank's policies, a 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the one 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. Recovery 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 (if there are no reversal in the income statement).

(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, unless 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.

d) Derivatives hedge accounting

(i) Hedge accounting

The Bank designates derivatives and non-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 re-measurement are recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Bank. 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 and loss.

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

(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 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. 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 Bank 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, showing that the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are hedged by the changes in the hedged item for the risk being 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 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 the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity related to the investment in a foreign operation and to the associated hedge operation are included in the income statement on the disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss from the disposal.

e) 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 requirements described in the Standard are met, namely:

  • If a financial asset, at the date of reclassification present the characteristics of a debt instrument for which there is no active market; or - When there is some event that is uncommon and higly improbable that will occur again in the short term, that is, the event can be classified as a rare circumstance.

The Bank adopted this possibility for a group of financial assets.

Transfer of financial assets recognised in the category of Financial assets available for sale to Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities and Financial assets held to maturity are permitted.

Transfers from and to Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss by decision of the entity (Fair value option) are prohibited.

f) Derecognition

The Bank 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 Bank does not maintain control over the assets.

The Bank derecognises financial liabilities when these are discharged, cancelled or extinguished.

g) Equity instruments

An instrument is classified as an equity instrument when there is no contractual obligation at settlement to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, independently from its legal form, showing 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 Bank are considered as an equity instrument when redemption of the shares is solely at the discretion of the issuer and dividends are paid at the discretion of the Bank.

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

h) 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 to be considered as compound financial instruments, the terms of its conversion to ordinary shares (number of shares) can not 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.

i) 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 Bank 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 be 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.

j) Investements in subidiaries and associates

Investments in subsidiaries and associated are accounted for in the Bank's individual financial statements at its historical cost less any impairment losses.

Impairment

The recoverable amount of the goodwill in subsidiaries is assessed annually, regardless the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are calculated based on the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries and associated and their book value. Impairment losses identified are charged against results and subsequently, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, the charge is reversed, in a subsequent period. 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.

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

Non current assets, groups of non-current assets held for sale (groups of assets together and 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, the referred assets are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.

The Bank 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, that 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 disposal.

The Bank 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 expenses 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 the Bank.

The subsequent accounting of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value net of expenses. In case of unrealized losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.

l) Finance lease transactions

At the lessee's perspective, finance lease transactions are recorded 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.

m) Interest income and expense

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 on the 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 exactly 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.

When calculating the effective interest rate, the Bank estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (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 with 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 using the rate of interest 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 valued on a prudent basis. This income is registered against results 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 and are recognised only when they are 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 of the changes in their fair value is recognised under interest income or expense (Net interest income).

n) Fee and commission income

Fees and commissions are recognised according to the following criteria:

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

Fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument, are recognised in Net interest income.

o) Financial results (Results arising from trading and hedging activities and available for sale financial assets)

Financial results 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 gains and losses arising from the sale of available for sale financial assets. 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 Bank's financial statements. Fees and commissions arising from this activity are recognised in the income statement in the year to which they relate.

q) Property and equipment

Property and equipment 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 Bank. 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
Premises 50
Expenditure on freehold and leasehold buildings 10
Equipment 4 to 12
Other fixed 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.

r) Intangible Assets

Research and development expenditure

The Bank does not capitalize any research and development costs. All expenses are recognised as costs in the year in which they occur.

Software

The Bank 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 Bank does not capitalize internal costs arising from software development.

s) Cash and cash 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 banks.

Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted balances with Central Banks.

t) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when the Bank has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis.

u) 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.

v) Employee benefits

Defined benefit plans

The Bank 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 collective labour arrangements. These benefits are estimated in the pensions plans 'Plano ACT' and 'Plano ACTQ' of the Pension Plan of BCP Group, which corresponds to the referred collective labour arrangements (the conditions are estimated in the private social security of the banking sector for the constitution of the right to receive a pension).

Until 2011, along with the benefits provided in two planes above, the Bank 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 Bank at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP ( Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change benefit plan of the Bank 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 Bank also proceed 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 ('Caixa de Abono de Família dos Empregados Bancários') 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 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho'.

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 with 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 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with 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 and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also established the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.

The calculation is made using the projected unit credit method and following actuarial and financial assumptions in line with the parameters required by IAS 19. In accordance with no. 2 of Regulation no. 4/2005 from the Bank of Portugal was established a deferral period for the transition impact to IAS 19 as at 1 January 2005 analysed as follows:

Balances Deferral period
Obligations with healthcare benefits and other liabilities 10 years
Liabilities for death before retirement 8 years
Early retirement 8 years
Actuarial losses charged-off related with early retirement 8 years
Increase of deferred actuarial losses 8 years
Reversal of amortization of actuarial losses in accordance with local GAAP 8 years

In accordance with Regulation no. 7/2008 from the Bank of Portugal concerning the balances listed in the table above, an additional period of three years was authorised considering the initially defined deferral period.

The Bank's net obligation in respect of pension plans and other benefits (defined benefit pensions plan) is calculated on a half year basis at 31 December and 30 June of each year.

The Bank's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans 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 Bank's obligations. The net obligations are determined after the deduction of the fair value of the assets of the Pension Plan.

The income / cost of interests with the pension plan is calculated, by the Bank, 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) 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 Bank 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 65.

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 the Bank 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.

Defined contribution plan

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

As at 31 December 2013, the Bank has two defined contribution plans. One plan that covers employees who were hired before July 1, 2009. For this plan, called non-contributory, Bank'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) exist distributable profits or reserves in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.

The other plan covers employees who have been hired after July 1, 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 Bank and employees.

Share based compensation plan

As at 31 December 2013 there are no share based compensation plans in force.

Variable remuneration paid to employees

The Executive Committee decides on the most appropriate criteria of allocation among employees.

This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the year to which it relates.

w) Income taxes

The Bank 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 Bank 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.

x) Segmental reporting

The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating 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.

Taking into consideration that the individual financial statements are present with the Group's report, in accordance with the paragraph 4 of IFRS 8, the Bank is dismissed to present individual information regarding Segmental Reporting.

y) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when (i) the Bank 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 an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and (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.

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 not 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.

z) Earnings per share

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

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, such as convertible debt and stock options granted to employees. 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.

aa) Insurance contracts

Classification

The Bank issues contracts that contain insurance risk, financial risk or a combination of both insurance and financial risk. A contract, under which the Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank that transfers only financial risk, without discretionary participating features, is classified as an investment contract and 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 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 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 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 year 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 Bank 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 Bank's results as determined.

ab) Insurance or reinsurance mediation services

The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the Insurance Institute of Portugal to practice the activity of insurance mediation in the category of Online Insurance Broker, in accordance with Article 8., Paragraph a), point i) of Decree-Law no. 144/2006, of July 31, developing the activity of insurance intermediation in life and non-life.

Within the insurance mediation services, the Bank performs the sale of insurance contracts. As compensation for services rendered for insurance mediation, the Bank receives commissions for arranging contracts of insurance and investment contracts, which are defined in the agreements / protocols established between the Bank and the Insurance Companies.

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

ac) Accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments and require the Executive Board of Directors and management to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate. The most significant of these accounting policies are discussed in this section in order to improve understanding of how their application affects the Bank's reported results and related disclosure.

Considering that in some cases there are several alternatives to the accounting treatment chosen by management, the Bank's reported results would differ if a different treatment was chosen. Management believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statements present the Bank's financial position and results fairly in all material 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.

Impairment of available for-sale equity investments

The Bank determines that available for sale equity investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value below its acquisition cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Bank evaluates among other factors, the volatility in the prices of the financial assets. According to the Bank's policies, a 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.

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 the income statement of the Bank.

Impairment losses on loans and advances to customers

The Bank reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment losses on a regularly basis, as described in note 1 b).

The evaluation process in determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement 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, among other things, are considered in making this evaluation.

Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a different level of impairment losses with a consequent impact in the income statement of the Bank.

Fair value of derivatives

Fair values are based on listed market prices if available, otherwise fair value is determined either by dealer price quotations (both 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 values.

Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model could result in different financial results for a particular period.

Held to maturity investments

The Bank follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying 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 Bank evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity.

If the Bank 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. 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 Bank. The use of different assumptions and estimates could have an impact on the income statement of the Bank.

Impairment for investments in subsidiary and associated companies

The Bank assesses annually the recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries and associates, regardless the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are calculated based on the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries and associated and their book value. Impairment losses identified are charged against results and subsequently, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, the charge is reversed, in a subsequent period.

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, 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 the consolidated income statement of the Bank.

Securitizations and special purpose entities (SPE)

The Bank sponsors the formation of SPE primarily for asset securitization transactions for liquidity purposes and/or capital management.

Therefore, the securitization operations Nova Finance no. 4, Caravela SME no. 2 and Tagus Leasing no. 1 were not derecognised in the Bank's financial statements.

The Bank derecognised the following SPE which also resulted from operations of securitization: Magellan Mortgages no. 1, 2, 3 and 4. For these SPE, the Bank concluded that the main risks and the benefits were transferred, as the Bank does not hold detain any security issued by the SPE, that are exposed to the majority of the residual risks, neither is exposed to the performance of the credit portfolios. The Bank subsequently purchased the residual securities from Magellan Mortgages No. 2 and 3, which involves the consolidation of these vehicles in the consolidated accounts.

Income taxes

Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the worldwide 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.

The Portuguese Tax Authorities are entitled to review the Bank and its subsidiaries' determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a period of four years or six years in case there are tax losses brought forward. Hence, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law which for its probability, the Executive Board of Directors considers that there is no relevant material effect at the level of the Financial Statements.

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 that could impact the cost and liability of the pension plan.

Changes in these assumptions could materially affect these values.

2. Net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity

As referred in IFRS 13, financial instruments are measured according to the levels of classification described in note 44.

The value of Financial instruments at cost includes the amount of Euros 3,100,333,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 3,430,129,000) relating to securitization operation securities not derecognised recorded at nominal value net of impairment.

The balance listed instruments includes securities valued with stock exchange market prices, valued according to price providers and securities listed in other organised markets.

The assets included in level 3, in the amount of Euros 1,820,147,000 corresponds to units of closed-ended investment funds valued in accordance with 'Net assets attributable to unit holders' ('NAV') determined by the management company, and in accordance with the audited accounts for the respective funds. These funds have a diverse set of assets and liabilities valued in their respective accounts at fair value through internal methodologies used by the management company. Is not practicable to present a sensitivity analysis of the different components of the underlying assumptions used by entities in the presentation of NAV, nevertheless it should be noted that a variation of + / - 10% of the NAV has an impact of Euros 182,015,000 in Equity (Fair value reserves).

There weren't during 2013 and 2012 significant transfers between levels of valuation.

The reclassifications performed until 31 December 2013, are analysed as follows:

The balance Charges / Reversals through Fair value reserves, in the amount of Euros 6,103,000, regards to charges / reversals of variable income securities classified as financial assets available for sale, which have been subject to the record of impairment losses against results.

The Bank recognises impairment on financial assets available for sale when there is a significant or prolonged decrease in its fair value or when there is an impact on expected future cash flows of the assets. This assessment involves judgement, in which the Bank takes into consideration among other factors, the volatility of the prices of securities.

Thus, as a consequence of the low liquidity and significant volatility in financial markets, the following factors were taken into consideration in determining the existence of impairment:

  • Equity instruments: (i) decreases of more than 30% against the purchase price; or (ii) the market value below the purchase price for a period exceeding 12 months;

  • Debt instruments: when there is objective evidence of events with impact on the recoverable value of future cash flows of these assets.

Hedging derivatives are measured in accordance with internal valuation techniques considering mainly observable market inputs. In accordance with the hierarchy of the valuation sources, as referred in IFRS 13 these derivatives are classified in level 2. The Bank uses derivatives to hedge interest and exchange rate exposure risks and securities portfolio credit risks. The accounting method depends on the nature of the hedged risk, namely if the Bank is exposed to fair value changes, variability in cash-flows or highly probable forecasted transactions.

The Bank, for the hedging relationships which comply with the hedging requirements of IAS 39, adopts the hedge accounting method, namely through the fair value hedge model, and holds in its derivatives portfolio mainly interest rate swaps, which are hedging fair value changes in interest rate risk of debt securities issued, deposits and loans with fixed rate.

The Bank performs periodical effectiveness tests of the hedging relationships. For this year a negative amount of Euros 8,471,000 (31 December 2012: negative amount of Euros 24,848,000) was recorded against the results, corresponding to the ineffective part of the fair value hedge relationships.

Balance on 31 December - -

As at 1 January 2012, the balance Impairment for financial assets held to maturity corresponded to the impairment recognised on Greek sovereign debt. This impairment was estimated in 2011 considering the evolution of the European Union sovereign debt crisis and specifically the economic and political environment in Greece, which contributed to the continuous deterioration of economic and financial situation of Greece and the incapacity to obtain funds from the international markets, which implied that the short term solvency of the country is dependent on the continuous support by EU and IMF.

Impairment was determined considering the terms of the agreement established between the Greek state and the private sector ('PSI'), related to the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt ('GGBs'). For the purposes of determining impairment, the Group considered the terms and conditions of the PSI and also paragraph AG 84 of IAS 39 that considers reasonable that, for the portfolio of assets held to maturity when, for practical reasons, there are relevant uncertainties regarding the estimate of future cash-flows, impairment can be determined based on observable market prices.

Considering the available information regarding the bonds' characteristics, as at 1 January 2012, the fair value corresponded to approximately 23% of the book value of the portfolio. Following of the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt in the first half of 2012, the impairment was charged off.

After the exchange, the Bank sold all portfolio of Greek sovereign debt arising from the PSI.

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.

As a result of the Law no. 2/2014 of 16 January, several amendments were made to the Income Tax Code (IRC) with impact on deferred taxes calculated on 31 December 2013, which are:

  • the reduction of the income tax rate from 25% to 23% and the creation of the state tax rate of 7% applied to the portion of the taxable income greater than Euros 35,000,000;

  • changing in the reporting period of tax losses (calculated in periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2014) from 5 to 12 years;

  • the non-taxation of gains taxable and non-tax deduction of losses arising on sale of equity shares, since verified a set of requirements, and full tax deduction of losses arising on investments due to the settlement of companies.

The deferred tax charge is analysed as follows.

The caption Benefits to employees includes the amount of Euros 492,783,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 287,877,000) related to the recognition of deferred taxes associated with actuarial gains and losses recognised against reserves, as a result of a change in the accounting policy. The referred caption also includes the amount of Euros 42,474,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 45,129,000) related to deferred taxes associated to the charge deriving from the transfer of the liabilities with retired employees / pensioners to the General Social Security Scheme, which was recognised in the income statement.

The negative impact in equity associated with the change in the above mentioned accounting policy is deductible for tax purposes, in equal parts, for a 10 years period starting on 1 January, 2012. The expense arising from the transfer of liabilities with pensioners to the General Social Security Scheme, is deductible for tax purposes, in equal parts starting on 1 January, 2012, for a period corresponding to the average number of years of life expectancy of retirees / pensioners whose responsibilities were transferred (18 years for the Bank).

The caption 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. 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. 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.

The guarantees granted by the Bank may be related with loan transactions, where the Bank grants a guarantee in connection with a loan granted to a client by a third entity. According with 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.

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 once 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 note 1 b). The maximum credit exposure is represented by the nominal value that could be lost related to guarantees and commitments undertaken by the Bank in the event of default by the respective counterparties, without considering potential recoveries or collaterals.

Considering their nature, as described above, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.

42. Assets under management and custody

The Bank provides custody, trustee, corporate administration, investment management and advisory services to third parties, which involve the Bank making allocation and purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. For certain services are set objectives and levels of return for assets under management and custody. Those assets held in a fiduciary capacity are not included in the financial statements.

The total assets under management is analysed as follows:

43. Relevant events occurred during 2013

Restructuring plan approved by the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission

On 2 September, 2013, the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission formally agreed with the Portuguese authorities on the restructuring plan of the Banco Comercial Português, S.A. ("BCP").

The referred agreement concludes that BCP's restructuring plan complies with the rules of the European Union regarding state aid, showing the bank is viable without continued State support.

The approved plan provides support to the economy and families, pursuing a strategy already in place. The referred plan foresees:

  • the reinforcement of financing to the economy and full compliance with regulatory requirements for capital levels;

  • the strategic focus on the activity through the separation of assets considered core and non-core (securities backed lending, highly-leveraged secured lending, historical subsidized mortgages and lending to certain segments linked to construction, football clubs and real estate development), aiming for a phased reduction of non-core assets;

  • balance sheet deleveraging, with the reduction of non-core assets and a LTD ratio (loans-to-deposits) of 120%, from 2015 onward; - the improvement of operational efficiency to achieve a minimum ROE (return on equity) of 10% and a maximum CTI (cost to income) of 50%, both from 2016

onward;

  • the implementation of a new approach to the asset management business by adopting an open architecture distribution model, allowing a broader range of investment options for customers;

  • the continuation of the adjustment process of its presence in the domestic market, namely by optimizing the number of branches and organizational areas of business support, and continuing to pursue the human resources policies that help to adjust the current staff levels to the effective demand for banking services. In particular, the agreement implies a reduction of around 25% on staff-related costs from December 2012 to December 2015 (it should be stressed that a significant portion of this effort has already been carried out in 2012 and in the first half of 2013).

Concerning international activities, the plan highlights the importance of the strategic operations in Angola and Mozambique, which are major contributors to the strategy to support companies and the Group's net income. Bank Millennium in Poland is also considered as a core operation, and there is no commitment to sell it unless the amount of the CoCos still to be paid in December 2016 exceed Euros 700,000,000. Still within the scope of the international activities, the plan foresees the sale of BCP's operation in Romania in the mid-term.

The plan also establishes the commitment to sell Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos - Sociedade Gestora de Fundos de Investimento, S.A.

44. Fair value

Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, as occurs regarding many products sold to clients, fair value is estimated through internal models based on cash-flow discounting techniques. Cash-flows for the different instruments sold are calculated according with its financial characteristics and the discount rates used include both the interest rate curve and the current conditions of the pricing policy in the Bank.

Therefore, the fair value obtained is influenced by the parameters used in the evaluation model that, have some degree of judgment and reflect exclusively the value attributed to different financial instruments. However it does not consider prospective factors, as the future business evolution. Therefore the values presented cannot be understood as an estimate of the economic value of the Bank.

The main methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value for the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Bank are presented as follows:

Cash and deposits at central banks, Loans and advances to credit institutions repayable on demand

Considering the short term of these financial instruments, the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

Loans and advances to credit institutions, Deposits from credit institutions and Assets with repurchase agreements

The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the installments occur in the contractually defined dates.

For Deposits from Central Banks it was considered that the book value is a reasonable estimate of its fair value, given the nature of operations and the associated shortterm. The rate of return of funding with the European Central Bank was 0.25% as at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2012: 0.75%).

Regarding loans and advances to credit institutions and deposits from credit institutions, the discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Bank on identical instruments for each of the different residual maturities. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year). As at 31 December 2013, the average discount rate was 0.70% for loans and advances and 0.93% for deposits. As at 31 December 2012 the rates were 2.27% and 2.80%, respectively.

Financial assets held for trading (except derivatives), Financial liabilities held for trading (except derivatives) and Financial assets available for sale

These financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly the credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.

Market interest rates are determined based on information released by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically as a result of prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from similar sources but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The same interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.

When optionality is involved, the standard templates (Black-Scholes, Black, Ho and others) are used considering the volatility areas applicable. Whenever there are no references in the market of sufficient quality or that the available models do not fully apply to meet the characteristics of the financial instrument, specific quotations supplied by an external entity are applied, typically a counterparty of the business.

Financial assets held to maturity

These financial instruments are accounted at amortised cost net of impairment. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly the credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.

Hedging and trading derivatives

All derivatives are recorded at fair value.

In case of derivative contracts that are quoted in organised markets their market prices are used. As for derivatives traded "Over-the-counter", it is applied methods based on numerical cash-flow discounting techniques and models for assessment of options considering variables of the market, particularly the interest rates on the instruments in question, and where necessary, their volatilities.

Interest rates are determined based on information disseminated by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically those resulting from prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from a similar source but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.

Loans and advances to customers with defined maturity date

The fair value of these instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the installments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Bank in similar instruments for each of the homogeneous classes of this type of instrument and with similar residual maturity. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread used at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the fourth quarter of 2012. The average discount rate was 4.97% as at 31 December 2013 and 4.89% as at 31 December 2012, assuming the projection of the variable rates according to the evolution of the forward rates implicit in the interest rate curves. The calculations also include the credit risk spread.

Loans and advances to customers and deposits repayable on demand without defined maturity date

Considering the short maturity of these financial instruments, the conditions of the portfolio are similar to conditions used at the date of the report. Therefore the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

Deposits from customers

The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows, considering that payments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Bank in similar instruments with a similar maturity. The discount rate used reflects the actual rates of the Bank to this type of funds and with similar residual maturity date. The discount rate includes the market rates of the residual maturity date (rates of monetary market or the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread of the Bank at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the last quarter of the year. For 31 December 2013, the average discount rate was 2.12% and 2.82% as at 31 December 2012.

Debt securities issued and Subordinated debt

For these financial instruments the fair value was calculated for components for which fair value is not yet reflected in the balance sheet. Fixed rate instruments for which the Bank adopts "hedge-accounting", the fair value related to the interest rate risk is already recognised.

For the fair value calculation, other components of risk were considered, in addition to the interest rate risk already recorded. The fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted by associated factors, predominantly the credit risk and trading margin, the latter only in the case of issues placed for non-institutional customers of the Bank.

As original reference, the Bank applies the curves resulting from the market interest rate swaps for each specific currency. The credit risk (credit spread) is represented by an excess from the curve of interest rate swaps established specifically for each term and class of instruments based on the market prices on equivalent instruments.

For own debts placed among non institutional costumers of the Bank, one more differential was added (commercial spread), which represents the margin between the financing cost in the institutional market and the cost obtained by distributing the respective instrument in the owned commercial network.

The average reference yield curve obtained from market prices in EUR and used in the calculation of the fair value of own securities was 8.71% (31 December, 2012: 10.83%) for subordinated debt placed on the institutional market. Regarding the subordinated issues placed on the retail market it was determined a discount rate of 8.32% (31 December, 2012: 12.21%). The average discount rate calculated for senior issues (including the Government guaranteed and asset-backed) was 2.86% (31 December 2012: 4.56%) and 3.72% (31 December, 2012: 4.12%) for senior and collateralised securities placed on the retail market.

For debt securities, the fair value calculation focused on all the components of these instruments, as a result the difference determined as at 31 December 2013 is a positive amount of Euros 212,999,000 (31 December 2012: a positive amount of Euros 75,367,000), and includes a payable amount of Euros 781,000 (31 December 2012: a payable amount of Euros 661,000) which reflects the fair value of embedded derivatives and are recorded in financial assets and liabilities held for trading.

As at 31 December 2013, the following table presents the interest rates used in the definition of the interest rate curves of main currencies, namely EUR, USD, GBP and PLN used to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Bank:

The Bank uses the following hierarchy for Fair value with 3 levels in the valuation of financial instruments (assets or liabilities), which reflects the level of judgment, the observability of the data used and the importance of the parameters used in determining the fair value measurement of the instrument, as referred in IFRS 13:

  • Level 1: Fair value is determined based on unadjusted quoted prices, captured in transactions in active markets involving identical instruments to the ones being valued. If there is more than one active market for the same financial instrument, the relevant price is what prevails in the main market of the instrument, or most advantageous market for which there is access.

  • Level 2: Fair value is determined based on valuation techniques supported by observable inputs in active markets, being direct data (prices, rates, spreads, etc.) or indirect data (derivatives), and valuation assumptions similar to what an unrelated party would use in estimating the fair value of that financial instrument.

  • Level 3: Fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs in active markets, using techniques and assumptions that market participants would use to evaluate the same instruments, including assumptions about the inherent risks, the valuation technique used and inputs and review processes to test the accuracy of the values obtained.

The Bank considers an active market for a particular financial instrument at the measurement date, depending on business volumes and liquidity of the transactions made, the relative volatility of the prices quoted and the readiness and availability of information, should verifiy the following minimum conditions:

  • Existence of frequent daily prices trading in the last year;

  • The above quotations are exchanged regularly;

  • There executable quotes from more than one entity.

A parameter used in a valuation technique is considered observable in the market if the following conditions are met:

  • If its value is determined in an active market;

  • Or, if there is an OTC market and it is reasonable to assume that the conditions of an active market are met, with the exception of the condition of trading volumes; - Or, the parameter value can be obtained by the inverse calculation of prices of financial instruments or derivatives where the remaining parameters required for initial assessment are observable in a liquid market or an OTC market that comply with the preceding paragraphs.

45. Post-employment benefits and other long term benefits

The Bank assumed the liability to pay to their employees pensions on retirement or disability and other obligations. These liabilities comply with the terms of the 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho do Grupo BCP'. The Bank's pension obligations and other liabilities are mainly covered through the Banco Comercial Português Pension Fund managed by PensõesGere - Sociedade Gestora de Fundo de Pensões, S.A.

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

This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred relate to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the already component established in the 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continue to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also establishes the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.

As referred in note 1 v), in addition to the benefits provided for in collective agreements, the bank 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 Bank at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age of the Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP (Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change in the benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made, and the individual rights acquired were specifically assigned to the employees. On that date, the Bank also performed the settlement of the related liability, in the amount of Euros 230,045,000.

For accounting purposes and in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, as at 31 December, 2012, there was no impact of the change of plan considering that: (i) the present value of the liabilities had no changes, and (ii) despite the Bank has carried a settlement of the plan, the actuarial deviations associated with these liabilities had been recognised in reserves in 2011 following the change in accounting policy. Following the changes made, the Bank has no longer any financial or actuarial risk associated with liquidated liabilities.

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012 the number of participants in the Pension Fund of Banco Comercial Português covered by this pension plan and other benefits is analysed as follows:

2013 2012

Pensioners 16,091 15,970

As referred in the accounting policy 1 v) and due to the change of IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, the interest cost / (income) became to be recognised by its net amount in interest and similar (income or costs).

As the Board Members Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common on 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 Bank 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.

To cover the update of contracted responsibilities through perpetual annuities policies, based on the actuarial calculations, the Bank recognised a provision of Euros 4,176,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 4,413,000). As referred in notes 9 and 36, the decrease was the result of the write-down of provisions established to cover the future increases in the retirement pensions of the former members of the Executive Board of Directors, following the agreements established between the parties.

Following the agreements established between the Bank and former members of the Executive Board of Directors the amount of Euros 1,790,000 related with amounts paid to set up a perpetual annuity policy to cover the responsibility with retirement pensions of former members of the Executive Board of Directors, were reimbursed by Ocidental Vida.

The movement of the amounts of the responsibilities with retirement pensions payable to former members of the Executive Board of Directors, included in the balance Other liabilities (note 36), is analysed as follows:

2013 2012
Euros '000 Euros '000
Balance as at 1 January 4,413 5,504

Balance at the end of the year 4,176 4,413

Considering the market indicators, particularly the estimations of the inflation rate and the long term interest rate for Euro Zone as well as the demographic characteristics of the employees, the Bank considered the following actuarial assumptions for the calculation of the liabilities with pension obligations with reference to 31 December 2013 and 2012:

Banco Comercial Português Fund
2013 2012
Increase in future compensation levels 1.00% until 2016
1.75% after 2017
1.00% until 2016
1.75% after 2017
Rate of pensions increase 0.00% until 2016
0.75% after 2017
0.00% until 2016
0.75% after 2017
Projected rate of return of fund assets 4.00% 4.50%
Discount rate 4.00% 4.50%
Mortality tables
Men TV 73/77 - 1 year TV 73/77 - 1 year
Women TV 88/90 - 2 years TV 88/90 - 2 years
Disability rate 0.00% 0.00%
Turnover rate 0.00% 0.00%
Costs with health benefits increase rate 6.50% 6.50%

The mortality tables consider an age inferior to the effective age of the beneficiaries, one year for men and two years for women, which is translated in higher average life expectancy.

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

The determination of the discount rate as at 31 December 2013, took into account: (i) the evolution in the major indexes in relation to high quality corporate bonds and (ii) duration of benefit plan liabilities.

The Bank face to (i) the positive deviations observed in the last financial year and (ii) the current trend of wages evolution and the economic situation at this time, led to a growth rate of wages progressive of 1% by 2016 and 1.75% from 2017 and a growth rate of pensions from 0% by 2016 and 0.75% from 2017.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, mandatory for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2013, the rate of return on plan assets considered in the calculation of the present value of the liabilities, corresponds to the discount rate.

However, it is presented below the estimated expected return for 2014:

2014
Portfolio % Estimated return
Shares 26.77% 8.72%
Bonds and other fixed income securities 29.09% 4.80%
Participation units in investment funds 9.06% 2.25%
Participation units in real estate funds 10.99% 0.56%
Properties 12.22% 6.70%
Loans and advances to credit institutions and others 11.87% 2.55%
Total income expected 5.12%

Net actuarial losses amounts to Euros 210,209,000 (31 December 2012: net actuarial losses of Euros 161,560,000) are related to the difference between the actuarial assumptions used for the estimation of the pension liabilities and the actual liabilities and are analysed as follows:

Health benefit costs have a significant impact on pension costs. Considering this impact the Bank performed a sensitivity analysis assuming one percent positive variation in health benefit costs (from 6.5% to 7.5% in 2013) and a negative variation (from 6.5% to 5.5% in 2013) in health benefit costs, which impact is analysed as follows:

The liabilities related to the seniority premium, are not post-employment liabilities, and as a result, are not covered by the Pension Fund of the Bank. As at 31 December, 2013, the liabilities associated with the seniority premium amounted to Euros 48,149,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 48,463,000) and are covered by provisions in the same amount, according to the note 36.

The cost of the seniority premium, for the years 2013 and 2012, is analysed as follows:

The remuneration for insurance mediation services were received through bank transfers and resulted from insurance intermediation with the subsidiaries of Millenniumbcp Ageas Group (Ocidental Vida and Ocidental Seguros).

The Bank does not collect insurance premiums on behalf of Insurance Companies, or performs any movement of funds related to insurance contracts. Thus, there is no other asset, liability, income or expense to be reported on the activity of insurance mediation exercised by the Bank, other than those already disclosed.

The receivable balances from insurance mediation activity by nature and entity are analysed as follows:

2013 2012
Euros '000 Euros '000
By nature
Funds receivable for payment of
life insurance commissions 12,561 2,572

Seguros de Vida, SA 12,561 2,572
Ocidental - Companhia Portuguesa de
Seguros, SA 5,082 4,795
17,643 7,367

The commissions received by the Bank result from the insurance mediation contracts and investment contracts, under the terms established in the contracts. The mediation commissions are calculated given the nature of the contracts subject to mediation, as follows:

  • insurance contracts – use of fixed rates on gross premiums issued;

  • investment contracts – use of fixed rates on the responsibilities assumed by the insurance company under the commercialization of these products.

47. Risk Management

The Bank is subject to several risks during the course of its business. The risks from different companies of the Group are managed centrally coordinating with the local departments and considering the specific risks of each business.

The Group's risk-management policy is designed to ensure adequate relationship at all times between its own funds and the business it carries on, and also to evaluate the risk/return profile by business line.

Monitoring and control of the main types of financial risk – credit, market, liquidity and operational – to which the Group's business is subject are of particular importance.

Main Types of Risk

Credit – Credit risk is associated with the degree of uncertainty of the expected returns as a result of the inability either of the borrower (and the guarantor, if any) or of the issuer of a security or of the counterparty to an agreement to fulfils their obligations.

Market – Market risk reflects the potential loss inherent in a given portfolio as a result of changes in rates (interest and exchange) and/or in the prices of the various financial instruments that make up the portfolio, considering both the correlations that exist between them and the respective volatility.

Liquidity – Liquidity risk reflects the Group's inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring in significant losses resulting from the deterioration of the funding conditions (funding risk) and/or from the sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).

Operational – Operational risk is understood to be the potential loss resulting from failures or inadequacies in internal procedures, persons or systems, and also the potential losses resulting from external events.

Internal Organisation

The Banco Comercial Português Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of the risk policy, including the approval at the very highest level of the principles and rules to be followed in risk management, as well as the guidelines dictating the allocation of economic capital to the business lines.

The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, ensures the existence of adequate risk control and of risk-management systems at the level both of the Group and of each entity. At the proposal of the Banco Comercial Português Executive Committee, the Board of Directors also approves the risk-tolerance level acceptable to the Group.

The Risk Commission is responsible for monitoring the overall levels of risk incurred, ensuring that they are compatible with the objectives and strategies approved for the business.

The Group Risk Officer is responsible for the control of risks in all the Group entities, in order to ensure that the risks are monitored on an overall basis and that there is alignment of concepts, practices and objectives. It must also keep the Risk Commission informed of the Group's level of risk, proposing measures to improve control and implementing the approved limits.

The activity of every entity included within the Banco Comercial Português consolidation perimeter is governed by the principles and decisions established centrally by the Risk Commission and the main subsidiaries are provided with Risk Office structures which are established in accordance with the risks inherent in their particular business. A Risk Control Commission has been set up at each relevant subsidiary, responsible for the control of risks at local level, in which the Group Risk Officer takes part.

The Group Head of Compliance is responsible for implementing systems of monitoring the compliance with legal obligations and responsibilities to which the Bank is subject, as well, the prevention, monitoring and reporting of risks in organizational processes, which include, among others, the prevention of money laundering, combating financing of terrorism, prevention of conflict of interest, issues related to abuse of market and compliance with the disclosure requirements to customers.

Risk Evaluation and Management Model

For purposes of profitability analysis and risk quantification and control, each entity is divided into the following management areas:

  • Trading and Sales: involves those positions whose objective is to obtain short-term gains through sale or revaluation. These positions are actively managed, are tradable without restriction and may be valued frequently and precisely, including the securities, the derivatives and the sales activities;

  • Financing: Financing operations of the group in the market, including both money market operations and institutional ones (and possible risk coverage), but no structural financing transactions (e.g. subordinated debt);

  • Investment: includes those positions in securities to be held to maturity or during a longer period of time or those that are not tradable on liquid markets, or any others that are held with no other purpose than short-term gains. Also includes any other hedging risk operation associated to those;

  • Commercial: includes all operations (assets and liabilities) held at the normal course of business group with its customers;

  • ALM: is the Assets and Liabilities management function, including operations decided by CALCO in the group's global risk management function and centralizes the transfer of risk between the remaining areas;

  • Structural: deals with balance sheet elements or operations that, because of their nature, are not directly related to any of the other areas, including structural financing operations of the group, capital and balance sheet fixed items.

The definition of the management areas allows effective separation of the management of the trading and banking portfolios, as well as a proper allocation of each operation to the most appropriate management area according to their context.

Risk assessment

Credit Risk

Credit granting is based on prior classification of the customers' risk and on thorough assessment of the level of protection provided by the underlying collateral. In order to do so, a single risk-notation system has been introduced, the Rating Master Scale. It is based on the expected probability of default, allowing greater discrimination in the assessment of the customers and better establishment of the hierarchies of the associated risk.

The Rating Master Scale also identifies those customers showing worsening credit capacity and, in particular, those classified as being in default in keeping with the Basel II Accord.

All the rating and scoring models used by the Bank have been duly calibrated for the Rating Master Scale.

The protection-level concept has been introduced as a crucial element of evaluation of the effectiveness of the collateral in credit-risk mitigation, leading to more active collateralization of loans and more adequate pricing of the risk incurred.

To quantify the credit risk at the level of the various portfolios, the Bank has developed a model based on an actuarial approach, which provides the distribution of total loss probability. In addition to the Probability of Default (PD) and of the Amount of the Loss Given Default (LGD) as the central points, consideration is also given to the uncertainty associated with the development of these parameters, through the introduction of the respective volatility. The effects of diversification and/or concentration between the sectors of the loan portfolios are quantified by introducing the respective correlations.

The gross Bank's exposure to credit risk (original exposure), as at 31 December 2013 and 2012 is presented in the following table:

Original exposure

Risk items Euros '000 Euros '000

Market Risks

The Bank in monitoring and control of market risk existing in the diverse portfolios (according to the previous definition), uses an integrated risk measure that includes the main types of market risk identified by the Group: generic risk, specific risk, non linear risk and commodities risk.

The measure used in evaluating the generic market risk is the VaR (Value at Risk). The VaR is calculated on the basis of the analysis approximation defined in the methodology developed by the RiskMetrics. It is calculated considering a 10-working day time horizon and an unilateral statistical confidence interval of 99%. In calculating the volatility associated with each risk factor, is performed using the econometric model estimation EWMA that assumes a greater weighting for the market conditions seen in the more recent days, thus ensuring more accurate adjustment to market conditions.

A specific risk evaluation model is also applied to securities (bonds, shares, certificates, etc.) and associated derivatives for which the performance is related to its value. With the necessary adjustments, this model follows regulatory standard methodology.

Complementary measures are also used for other types of risk, a risk measure that incorporates the non-linear risk of options not covered in the VaR model, with a confidence interval of 99% and a standard measure for commodities risks.

These measures are included in the indicator of market risk with the conservative assumption of perfect correlation between the various types of risk.

Capital at risk values are determined both on an individual basis for each one of the position portfolios of those areas having responsibilities in risk taking and management, as well as in consolidated terms taking into account the effects of diversification between the various portfolios.

To ensure that the VaR model adopted is appropriate to the evaluation of the risks involved in the positions that have been assumed, a back testing process has been instituted. This is carried out on a daily basis and it confronts the VaR indicators with the actual results.

The following table shows the main indicators for these measures to the trading portfolio, during 2013:

Euros '000
2013 2012
Generic Risk ( VaR ) 1,991 3,079
Specific Risk 263 691
Non Linear Risk 25 12
Commodities Risk 17 47
Global Risk 2,296 3,829

Evaluation of the interest rate risk originated by the banking portfolio is performed by a risk sensitivity analysis process carried out every month for all operations included in the Bank's balance sheet.

For this analysis are considered the financial characteristics of the contracts available in information systems. Based on these data, a projection for expected cash flows is made, according to the repricing dates and any prepayment assumptions considered.

Aggregation of the expected cash flows for each time interval for each of the currencies under analysis allows determination of the interest rate gaps per repricing period.

The interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet in each currency is calculated through the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch after discounting the market interest rates and the discounted value of the same cash flows by simulating parallel shifts of the market interest rates.

The following tables shows the expected impact on the banking books economic value of parallel shifts of the yield curve by +/- 100 and +/- 200 basis points, on each of the main currencies:

The Bank regularly undertakes hedging operations on the market aiming to reduce the interest rate mismatch of the risk positions associated with the portfolio of transactions of the commercial and structural areas.

The Bank applies, to hedge the foreign exchange risk of the partial investment made in foreign currency in Bank Millennium (Poland), the fair value hedge accounting model.

The amount of the investment subject to hedging is PLN 1,950,125,000 (31 December 2012: PLN 1,941,433,000), with the equivalent amount of Euros 469,423,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 476,542,000), with the hedging instrument in the same amount.

It was not recognised any ineffectiveness generated in these hedging operations, as referred in the accounting policy 1 d).

Liquidity risk

Evaluation of the Bank's liquidity risk is carried out using indicators defined by the supervisory authorities on a regular basis and other internal metrics for which exposure limits are also defined.

The evolution of the Bank's liquidity situation for short-term time horizons (up to 3 months) is reviewed daily on the basis of two indicators defined in-house, immediate liquidity and quarterly liquidity. These measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise on a single day, considering the cash-flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively.

Calculation of these indicators involves adding to the liquidity position of the day under analysis the estimated future cash flows for each day of the respective time horizon (3 days or 3 months) for the transactions as a whole brokered by the markets areas, including the transactions with customers of the Corporate and Private networks that, for their dimension, have to be quoted by the Trading Room. The amount of assets in the Bank's securities portfolio considered highly liquid is added to the calculated value, leading to determination of the liquidity gap accumulated for each day of the period under review.

In parallel, the evolution of the Bank's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis identifying all the factors that justify the variations that occur. This analysis is submitted to the Capital and Assets and Liabilities Committee (CALCO) for appraisal, in order to enable the decision making that leads to the maintenance of financing conditions adequate to the continuation of the business.

In addition, the Risks Commission is responsible for controlling the liquidity risk.

This control is reinforced with the monthly execution of stress tests, to characterize the Bank's risk profile and to ensure that the Group and each of its subsidiaries, fulfill its obligations in the event of a liquidity crisis. These tests are also used to support the liquidity contingency plan and management decisions.

In the current conjuncture, and given the continued prudent management of liquidity by the Group during the course of this whole situation, has been reinforced the buffer role provided by the liquidity asset portfolio discountable with the ECB (or other Central Banks). In this line, the portfolio of discountable assets to the ECB finished the year of 2013 with a value of Euros 17,767,963,000, slightly above the end of 2012 figure.

The eligible pool of assets for funding operations in the European Central Bank, net of haircuts, is detailed as follows:

2013 2012
Euros '000 Euros '000
European Central Bank 17,767,963 17,432,894

As at 31 December 2013, the amount discounted in the European Central Bank amounted to Euros 11,000,000,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 12,000,000,000).

The main liquidity ratios of the Bank, according to the definitions of the Instruction no. 13/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, had the following evolution:

2013 2012
Accumulated net cash flows up to 1 year as %
of total accounting liabilities 9.1% 17.3%
Liquidity gap as a % of iliquid assets 3.3% 17.3%

(up to 3 Months) 352.5% 329.2%
(up to 1 Year) 131.6% 268.1%

(1) HLA- Highly Liquid Assets.

Operational Risk

The approach to operational risk management is based on the business and support end-to-end processes. Process management is the responsibility of the Process Owners, who are the first parties responsible for evaluation of the risks and for strengthening the performance within the scope of their processes. The Process Owners are responsible for keeping up to date all the relevant documentation concerning the processes, for ensuring the real adequacy of all the existing controls through direct supervision or by delegation on the departments responsible for the controls in question, for coordinating and taking part in the risk self-assessment exercises, and for detecting and implementing improvement opportunities, including mitigating measures for the more significant exposures.

In the operational risk model implemented in the Bank, there is a systematic process of gathering information on operational losses, that defines on a systematic form, the causes and the effects associated to an eventual detected loss. From the analysis of the historical information and its relationships, processes involving greater risk are identified and mitigation measures are launched to reduce the critical exposures.

Covenants

The contractual terms of instruments of wholesale funding encompass obligations assumed by entities belonging to the Group as debtors or issuers, concerning general duties of societary conduct, maintenance of banking activity and the inexistence of special guarantees constituted for the benefit of other creditors ("negative pledge"). These terms reflect essentially the standards internationally adopted for each type of debt instrument used by the Group.

The terms of the Group's participation in securitization operations involving its own assets are subject to mandatory changes in case the Group stops respecting certain rating criteria. The criteria established in each transaction results mainly from the existing risk analysis at the moment that the transaction was set, being these methodologies usually applied by each rating agency in a standardised way to all the securitization transactions involving the same type of loans.

Regarding the Covered Bond Programs of Banco Comercial Português that are currently underway, there are no relevant covenants related to a possible downgrade of the Bank.

48. Solvency

Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on internal rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the Bank's activity as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of the capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk under IRB approaches, the Bank of Portugal formally authorized the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" with effect as from 31 December 2011. With effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates". With effect as from 31 December 2013, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of the IRB approach to the real estate promotion credit portfolios, as well as the adoption of own estimates of LGD for the risk class "Corporates" in Portugal. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) to the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.

The own funds of Banco Comercial Português are determined according to the applicable regulatory rules, namely the Regulation no. 6/2010 from the Bank of Portugal. The own funds result from adding tier 1 with tier 2 and subtracting the component of Deductions. For the calculation of tier 1 are considered the core tier 1 elements, established in the Regulation no. 3/2011, and other relevant elements to the discharge of tier 1. The tier 1 and, in particular, core tier 1, comprises the steadiest components of the own funds.

As core tier 1 positive elements, the paid-up capital and the share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State in the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, the reserves and the retained earnings and the deferred impacts related to the transition adjustments to the International Financial Reporting Standards, are considered. Net losses, own shares and intangible assets correspond to negative elements.

At the end of the 2011, the Bank decided to change the accounting policy related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses of the Pension Fund. Accordingly, and following an analysis of the options permitted by the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 - Employee benefits, the Bank decided to recognize the actuarial gains and losses against reserves. Previously, the Bank used to defer actuarial gains and losses according to the corridor method, in which the unrecognised actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the largest among between the current value of the liabilities and the fair value of the assets were recognised against the income statement according to the estimated remaining useful life of active employees.

Despite this change in accounting policy, the Bank of Portugal, for prudential purposes, allowed to continue to be used a corridor, corresponding to the higher value between i) 10% of liabilities from retirement and other pensions benefits, and ii) 10% of the value of the Pension Fund, as defined in the Regulation no. 2/2012 from the Bank of Portugal.

Core tier 1 can also be influenced by the replacement of unrealised gains and losses which do not represent impairment on debt securities, loans and other receivables recorded in the available for sale portfolio, on cash-flow hedge transactions and on financial liabilities at fair value through profits and losses, net of taxes, to the extent related to own credit risk, as well as by the reversal of unrealised gains on equity securities classified as available for sale and loans and other receivables from the trading portfolio or measured at fair value through profits and losses.

The Bank of Portugal established new rules since the second half of 2011, which have influenced the core tier 1 of the Bank:

  • In November 2011, the Bank of Portugal issued a clarification regarding the Regulation no. 6/2010, determining a deduction to core tier 1 related to customers deposits contracted with yields above a certain threshold (Instruction no. 15/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).

  • In June 2012, the Bank issue Euros 3,000 millions of core tier 1 capital instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the recapitalization process of the Goup and in accordance with Regulation no. 3/2011 from the Bank of Portugal. These instruments eligible until the maximum of 50% of tier 1.

The additional elements that integrate the core tier I are hybrid instruments, up to the limit of 35% of tier 1, and even some deductions taken by 50%: (i) of interests held in financial institutions (more than 10%) and insurers (at least 20%); and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach.

The tier 2 includes the subordinated debt and 45% of the unrealised gains on available for sale assets that have been deducted to core tier 1. These components are part of the upper tier 2, except the subordinated debt, that is split between upper tier 2 (perpetual debt) and lower tier 2 (the remaining). Subordinated debt can only be included in the own funds with the agreement of the Bank of Portugal and as long as their total amount complies with the following limits: a) the tier 2 cannot surpass the amount of the tier 1 and b) the lower tier 2 cannot surpass 50% of the tier 1. Additionally, non-perpetual subordinated loans should be amortised at a 20% annual rate, during the last five years to maturity. The tier 2 is also subject to the deduction of the remaining 50% not deducted to the tier 1: (i) of interests held in financial institutions (more than 10%) and insurers (at least 20%); and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach. If the amount of tier 2 is not enough to accommodate this deduction, the excess should be subtracted to the tier 1.

In order to conclude the calculation of the regulatory capital, there are still some deductions to the own funds that need to be performed, namely the amount of real-estate assets resulting from recovered loans that have exceeded the regulatory period of permanence in the Bank's accounts, the impairment concerning securitization transactions that have not reached the regulatory definition of effective risk transfer, to the extent of the amounts not recognised in the Bank's accounts, and the potential excess of exposure to risk limits in the scope of Bank of Portugal published Regulation no. 7/2010.

Capital requirements have been determined in accordance with the Basel II framework since the beginning of 2008. Capital requirements for credit risk have been determined in accordance with the Regulation no. 5/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using IRB approaches to calculate minimum capital requirements for a substantial part of the retail and corporate portfolios, and the standardised approach for the remaining portfolios.

Capital requirements for operational risk have been calculated following the standard approach described in the Regulation no. 9/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, and capital requirements for the trading portfolio have been calculated according to the Regulation no. 8/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using the internal models approach to calculate capital requirements for the generic market risk of the trading portfolio related to debt instruments, capital instruments and foreign exchange risks, and the standardised approach to calculate capital requirements for the specific risk.

According to a recommendation released by the Bank of Portugal, the Bank's tier 1 and total capital ratios should not stand below 8%.

49. Accounting standards recently issued

Accounting standards and interpretations recently issued

Recently Issued pronouncements already adopted by the Bank in preparation of the Financial Statements are the following:

IAS 19 Revised – Employee Benefits

The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 19 – Employee Benefits", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 475/2012, 5th June.

As a result of IAS 19 (2011), the Bank has changed its accounting policy with respect to the basis for determining the income or expense related to its defined benefit plans. Under IAS 19 (2011), the Bank determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments.

Consequently, the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) now comprises: (i) interest cost on the defined benefit obligation; (ii) interest income on plan assets; and (iii) interest on the effect on the asset ceiling.

The changes did not have any impact on the Bank's financial statements.

Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income – Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 475/2012, 5th June.

As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the Bank has modified the presentation of items of OCI in its statement of profit or loss and OCI, to present items that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future separately from those that would never be. Comparative information has been re-presented on the same basis.

IFRS 7 (Amended) – Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1256/2012, 11th December.

The Bank did not have any impact from the adoption of the changes.

Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011)

The annual improvements cycle 2009-2011, issued by IASB on 17th May 2012, and endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 301/2013, 27th March, introduce amendments, with effective date for annual periods beginning on, or after, 1st January 2013, to the standards IFRS 1, IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32, IAS 34 and IFRIC 2.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is the information disclosed in the previous period.

IAS 16 Property Plant and Equipment

This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory.

IAS 32 Financial Instruments, Presentation and IFRIC 2

The improvement clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, avoiding any interpretation that may mean any other application.

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

The amendments align the disclosure requirement for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures in relation to the changes of profit and loss account and other comprehensive income.

The Bank had no impact from the adoption of the improvements 2009-2011, taking into consideration the accounting policies already adopted.

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 13 Fair value Measurement", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1255/2012, 11th December.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, the Bank has applied the new definition of fair value, as set out in note 1a), prospectively. The change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Bank's assets and liabilities, but the Bank has included new disclosures in the financial statements, which are required under IFRS 13. These new disclosure requirements are not included in the comparative information. However, to the extent that these disclosures were required by other standards before the effective date of IFRS 13, the Bank has provided the relevant comparative disclosures under those standards.

IFRIC 20 – Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), issued on 19th October 2011, "IFRIC 20 - Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1255/2012, 11th December.

Given the nature of the Bank´s operation, this interpretation did not have any impact on the financial statements.

The Bank decided to opt for not having an early application of the following standards endorsed by EU but not yet mandatory effective:

IAS 32 (Amended) – Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1256/2012, 11th December.

The IASB amended IAS 32 to add application guidance to address the inconsistent application of the standard in practice. The application guidance clarifies that the phrase 'currently has a legal enforceable right of set-off' means that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in the normal course of business, in the event of default and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy, of the entity and all of the counterparties.

The application guidance also specifies the characteristics of gross settlement systems in order to be considered equivalent to net settlement.

The Bank is not expecting a significant impact form the adoption of the amendment to IAS 32, taking into consideration the accounting policy already adopted.

IAS 27 (Revised) – Separate Financial Statements

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, amendments to "IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1254/2012, 11th December.

Taking in consideration that IFRS 10 addresses the principles of control and the requirements relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, IAS 27 was amended to cover exclusively separate financial statements.

The amendments aimed, on one hand, to clarify the disclosures required by an entity preparing separate financial statements so that the entity would be required to disclose the principal place of business (and country of incorporation, if different) of significant investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates and, if applicable, of the parent. The previous version required the disclosure of the country of incorporation or residence of such entities.

On the other hand, it was aligned the effective dates for all consolidated standards (IFRS10, IFRS11, IFRS12, IFRS13 and amendments to IAS 28).

The Bank expects no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

IFRS 10, withdraw one part of IAS 27 and SIC 12, and introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated.

The new concept of control involves the assessment of power, exposure to variability in returns and a linkage between the two. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variability of returns from its involvement with the investee and is able to affect those returns through its power over the investee (facto control).

The investor considers whether it controls the relevant activities of the investee, taking into consideration the new concept. The assessment should be done at each reporting period because the relation between power and exposure to the variability of returns may change over the time.

Control is usually assessed over a legal entity, but also can be assessed over only specified assets and liabilities of an investee (referred to as silo).

The new standard also introduce other changes such as: i) accounting requirements for subsidiaries in consolidation financial statements that are carried forward from IAS 27 to this new standards and ii) enhanced disclosures requirements, including specific disclosures for consolidated and unconsolidated structured entities.

The Bank is assessing the impact of the introduction of this standard, however the Bank does not expects a significant impact.

IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 11 Joint arrangements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

IFRS 11 withdraw IAS 31 and SIC 13, defines "joint control" by incorporating the same control model as defined in IFRS 10 and requires an entity that is part of a "join arrangement" to determine the nature of the joint arrangement ("joint operations" or "joint ventures") by assessing its rights and obligations.

IFRS 11 removes the option to account for joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation. Instead, joint arrangements that meet the definition of "joint venture" must be account for using the equity method (IAS 28).

The Bank is assessing the impact of the introduction of this standard, however the Bank does not expects a significant impact.

IAS 28 (Revised) – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. This amendment was endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 has been renamed as IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures and associates.

The Bank expects no significant impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.

IFRS 12 – Disclosures of Interest in Other Entities

The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. This amendment was endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.

The objective of this new standard is to require an entity to disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate: (a) the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities; and (b) the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.

The Bank is still assessing the full impact of the new IFRS 12 in align with IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

Investment Entities – Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 8 (issued by IASB on 31st October 2012)

The amendments apply to a particular class of business that qualify as investment entities. The IASB uses the term 'investment entity' to refer to an entity whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both. An investment entity must also evaluate the performance of its investments on a fair value basis. Such entities could include private equity organisations, venture capital organisations, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other investment funds.

The amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirements in IFRS 10 and require investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them. The amendments also set out disclosure requirements for investment entities.

The amendments are effective from 1 January 2014 with early adoption permitted. This option allows investment entities to apply the new amendments of IFRS 10 after 1st January, 2013. This standard was adopted by the European Commission Regulation no. 1374/2013, of 20th November.

The Bank is assessing the impact of the introduction of this standard.

IAS 36 (Revised) – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

The IASB, issued on 29th May 2013, this amendment, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1374/2013, 19th December.

The objective of the amendments is to clarify that the scope of the disclosures of information about the recoverable amount of assets, where that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, is limited to impaired assets.

IAS 39 (Revised) – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting

The IASB, issued on 27th June 2013, this amendment, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 1375/2013, 19th December.

The objective of the amendments is to provide relief in situations where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. Such a relief means that hedge accounting can continue irrespective of the novation which, without the amendment, would not be permitted.

Recently Issued pronouncements that are not yet effective for the Bank

IAS 19 (Revised) – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions

The IASB, issued on 21th November 2013, this amendment, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July 2014.

The Amendment clarifies the guidance on attributing employee or third party contributions linked to service and requires entities to attribute the contributions linked to service in accordance with paragraph 70 of IAS 19 (2011). Therefore, such contributions are attributed using plan's contribution formula or on a straight line basis.

The amendment addresses the complexity by introducing a practical expedient that allows an entity to recognise employee or third party contributions linked to service that are independent of the number of years of service (for example a fixed percentage of salary), as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered.

IFRIC 21 – Levies

The IASB, issued on 20th May 2013, this interpretation, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014.

IFRIC 21 defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in accordance with legislation. It confirms that an entity recognises a liability for a levy when – and only when – the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs. IFRIC 21 is not expected to have any effect on the Bank's financial statements.

Improvements to IFRS (2010-2012)

The annual improvements cycle 2010-2012, issued by IASB on 12th December 2013, introduce amendments, with effective date on, or after, 1st July 2014, to the standards IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS16, IAS24 and IAS38.

IFRS 2 – Definition of vesting condition

The amendment clarify the definition of 'vesting conditions' in Appendix A of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment by separate the definition of performance condition and service condition from the definition of vesting condition to make the description of each condition clear.

IFRS 3 – Accounting for contingent consideration in a business combination

The objective of this amendment is to clarify certain aspects of accounting for contingent consideration in a business combination, namely: classification of contingent consideration in a business combination and subsequent measurement, taking into account if such contingent consideration is a financial instrument or a non-financial asset or liability.

IFRS 8 – Aggregation of operation segments and reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments' assets to entity's assets

The amendment clarify the criteria for aggregation of operating segments and requires entities to disclose those factors that are used to identify the entity's reportable segments when operating segments have been aggregated. To achieve consistency, reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments' assets to the entity's assets should be disclosed, if that amount is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker.

IFRS 13 – Short-term receivables and payables

IASB amends the basis of conclusion in order to clarify that, by deleting IAS 39AG79, in applying IFRS 3, IASB did not intend to change the measurement requirements for short-term receivables and payables with no interest, that should be discount if such discount is material, noting that IAS 8.8 already permits entities not apply accounting polices set out in accordance with IFRSs when the effect of applying them is immaterial.

IAS 16 & IAS 38 – Revaluation method – proportionate restatement accumulated depreciation or amortization

In order to clarify the calculation of the accumulated depreciation or amortization at the date of the revaluation, IASB amended paragraph 35 of IAS 16 and paragraph 80 of IAS 38 to clarify that: (i) the determination of the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) does not depend on the selection of the valuation technique; and (ii) the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) is calculated as the difference between the gross and the net carrying amounts.

IAS 24 – Related Party Transactions – Key management personal services

In order to address the concerns about the identification of key management personal (KMP) costs, when KMP services of the reporting entity are provided by entities (management entity e.g. in mutual funds), IASB clarifies that, the disclosure of the amounts incurred by the entity for the provision of KMP services that are provided by a separate management entity shall be disclosed but it is not necessary to present the information required in paragraph 17.

Improvements to IFRS (2011-2013)

The annual improvements cycle 2011-2013, issued by IASB on 12th December 2013, introduce amendments, with effective date on, or after, 1st July 2014, to the standards IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40.

IFRS 1 – Meaning of "effective IFRS"

IASB clarifies that if a new IFRS is not yet mandatory but permits early application, that IFRS is permitted, but not required, to be applied in the entity's first IFRS financial statements.

IFRS 3 – Scope exceptions for joint ventures

The amendment excludes the formation of all types of joint arrangements as defined in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements from the scope of IFRS 3. The scope exception only applies to the financial statements of the joint venture or the joint operation itself.

IFRS 13 – Scope of paragraph 52 – portfolio exception

Paragraph 52 of IFRS 13 includes a scope exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis. This is referred to as the portfolio exception. The objective of this amendment was to clarify that the portfolio exception applies to all contracts within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.

IAS 40 – Interrelationship with IFRS 3 when classify property as investment property or owner-occupied property

The objective of this amendment was to clarify that judgment is needed to determine whether the acquisition of investment property is the acquisition of an asset, a group of assets or a business combination in the scope of IFRS 3 and that this judgment is based on the guidance in IFRS 3.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments (issued in 2009 and revised in 2010 and 2013)

IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 (2010) introduces additions relating to financial liabilities. IFRS 9 (2013) introduces the hedging requirements. The IASB currently has an active project of additional disclosures requirements limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets.

The IFRS 9 (2009) requirements represent a significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39 in respect of financial assets. The standard contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost and fair value. A financial asset would be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets would be measured at fair value. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables.

For an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the standard permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual share-byshare basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in OCI. No amount recognised in OCI would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments would be recognised in profit or loss, rather than OCI, unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment.

Investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in OCI would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

The standard requires derivatives embedded in contracts with a host that is a financial asset in the scope of the standard not to be separated; instead, the hybrid financial instrument is assessed in its entirety for whether it should be measured at amortised cost or fair value.

IFRS 9 (2010) introduces a new requirement in respect of financial liabilities designated under the fair value option to generally present fair value changes that are attributable to the liability's credit risk in OCI rather than in profit or loss. Apart from this change, IFRS 9 (2010) largely carries forward without substantive amendment the guidance on classification and measurement of financial liabilities from IAS 39.

IFRS 9 (2013) introduces new requirements for hedge accounting that align hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The requirements also establish a more principles-based approach to hedge accounting and address inconsistencies and weaknesses in the hedge accounting model in IAS 39.

The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 is not specified but will be determined when the outstanding phases are finalised.

The Bank has started the process of evaluating the potential effect of this standard but is waiting for the finalisation of the limited amendments before the evaluation can be completed. Given the nature of the Bank's operations, this standard is expected to have a pervasive impact on the Bank's financial statements.

50. Relevant Administrative proceedings underway and related proceedings

  1. At the end of the year 2007, the Bank received a formal notice dated 27 December 2007 informing that administrative proceedings no. 24/07/CO were brought by the Bank of Portugal against the Bank and against seven former Directors and two Managers, "based on preliminary evidence of administrative offences foreseen in the General Framework of Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (approved by Decree-Law no. 298/92, 31 December), in particular with respect to breach of accounting rules, provision of false or incomplete information to the Bank of Portugal, in particular in what respects to the amount of own funds and breach of prudential obligations".

A press release issued by the Bank of Portugal on 28 December 2007 mentioned that such administrative proceedings were initiated "based on facts related to 17 off-shore entities, whose nature and activities were always hidden from the Bank of Portugal, in particular in previous inspections carried out".

On 12 December 2008, the Bank was notified of an accusation under administrative proceedings no. 24/07/CO instructed by the Bank of Portugal, in which this Authority charges the Bank and the other defendants, with the practice of six administrative offences regulated by paragraph g) and three administrative offences regulated by paragraph r) of article 211 of the Legal Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (LFCIFC).

The offences, should the charges be proven true, could be the following:

a) Failure to comply with the applicable accounting rules, determined by law or by the Bank of Portugal, that does not cause serious damage to the knowledge of the company's assets and financial standing is an administrative offence regulated by article 210 (f) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, if such conduct causes serious damages, it may become an offence regulated by article 211 (g) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000; and

b) (i) the omission of information and communications to the Bank of Portugal, within the due deadlines or (ii) the provision of incomplete information are offences regulated by article 210 (h – presently amended to i) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, (i) the provision of false information or (ii) of incomplete information to the Bank of Portugal that may lead to wrongful conclusions with the same or similar effect as false information regarding that subject are offences regulated by article 211 (r) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000.

According to the accusation, each offence is punishable by a fine between Euros 2,493.99 and Euros 2,493,989.49, and pursuant to the rules on accrued offences, defined in article 19 (1 and 2), of the Portuguese legal regime on administrative offences (Regime Geral das Contra-ordenações), in case of conviction for several offences, there shall be a single fine, the maximum amount of which cannot surpass twice the highest limit of the accrued offences.

In March 2009, the Bank did not accept the charges or accusations made and provided defense under these administrative proceedings within due term.

On 12 May 2010, the Bank was notified of the contents of the decision that, within the scope of the proceedings, was issued by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal, applying to it, as primary sanction, a single fine of Euros 5,000,000.

Different fines were applied to the remaining defendants as primary sanctions, globally amounting to Euros 4,470,000. The Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal decided to withdraw the charges relating to a former Director and a Manager.

The Bank objected to this decision and was informed of the decision to accept the legal objections presented by all the defendants.

The trial hearing began in April 2011 and, in September, the Court heard one of the witnesses, in order to better appraise the validity of the documentation provided with the claims and their eventual nullity as evidence, due to violation of banking secrecy.

After the hearing, the Court issued a decision dated of 7 October 2011 declaring that the evidence was null and therefore the entire process was annulled.

The Public Prosecutor and the Bank of Portugal appealed this decision. The Bank and other defendants presented their counter-claim.

On 5 July 2012, the Bank was notified of the decision of the Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa (Lisbon court of appeals) which approved the appeals presented by the Bank of Portugal and by the Public Prosecutor, and revoked the decision appealed, determining that, "there being no other reason not to, the trial hearing shall be continued and at the appropriate moment, a decision will be made based on the evidence".

Several defendants (natural persons) presented an appeal to the Constitutional Court.

Pursuant to a summary judgment adopted on 20 March 2013, the Constitutional Court rejected the appeals brought by the defendants, stating that those appeals did not comply with the respective requirements.

On 29 May 2013, the Constitutional Court did not accept the claims presented in the meantime by some of the defendants (natural persons), confirming the decision on which the claim was presented and the proceedings was given to the lower Stage Court for the scheduling of the trial.

Pursuant to a decision made on 27 February 2014, the "Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal de Lisboa" (court of Lisbon for minor criminal offences) scheduled a date (31 March 2014) to resume the court hearing for debate and judgement and decided to bar all offences imputed to one former Director of BCP, due to the statute of limitations. In what specifically concerns BCP, the "Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal de Lisboa" (court of Lisbon for minor criminal offences) decided to bar two administrative offences imputed to it, (alleged forging of accounting records) due to the statute of limitations. Since BCP has also been charged with the alleged practice of other administrative offences, the trial shall be resumed to handle those other administrative offences.

  1. On July 2009, the Bank was notified of the accusation brought about by the Public Prosecutor in a criminal process against five former members of the Board of Directors of the Bank, related mainly to the above mentioned facts, and to present in this process a request for an indemnity.

Considering this notification, and although considering as reproduced the contents of the defense presented in the above mentioned administrative proceedings, the Bank decided, in order to avoid any risk of a future allegation of loss of the right to an indemnity that may occur if no recourse is presented in this process, to present legal documentation claiming: (i) the recognition of its right, in a later period namely following the final identification of the facts, to present a separate process in civil courts requesting an indemnity and (ii) additionally and cautiously, if the right to the request of a separate indemnity process in civil courts is not recognised, a civil indemnity according to the facts and terms mentioned in the accusation, if they are proven.

On 19 July 2011 the Bank was notified of the decision of the 8ª Vara Criminal de Lisboa (8th Lisbon criminal court section) that recognised that the Bank could present an eventual request for civil indemnity separately. One of the Defendants appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals, which was admitted by the first instance court but has a merely devolutive effect, being passed to the higher court only with the eventual appeal of the first instance Court's sentence.

The trial hearing was held, and at the present time the delivery of the sentence is expected.

  1. On 22 June 2012, three companies controlled by the same physical person, the Ring Development Corp., the Willow Securities Inc., and the Lisop Sociedade de Serviços Investimentos e Comercio de Imobiliários Lda. (the "Plaintiffs") brought forward a lawsuit in the courts of Lisbon against Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. and the Bank requesting: (i) compensation for an unspecified amount, but always above Euros 40 millions, for alleged damages and (ii) that certain loan agreements established between the Plaintiffs and Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. in 2008, amounting to a total of around Euros 80 millions be declared null but without the subsequent legal duty to return the funds borrowed. Notwithstanding the fact that the agreements are ruled by Swiss law, the Plaintiffs based their request for the agreements to be declared null on an alleged violation of the provisos of the Portuguese Companies Code, stating that the loan agreements were made to enable the Plaintiffs to purchase shares of the Bank and on the fact that they had been forced to enter into the same. The Plaintiffs based their compensation request on alleged losses incurred due to the fact that Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. triggered the agreements' clause, selling the listed shares given as pledge at base prices, as foreseen in the loan agreements, and that the Plaintiffs were not given the possibility to continue to trade the pledged assets after the execution.

The loan agreements are ruled by Swiss Law and subject to the jurisdiction of the Swiss courts and the Bank was informed that, according to Swiss law, the Plaintiffs' request is not likely to be granted. Since the lawsuit was brought forward in the Portuguese courts, if the Portuguese courts decide to try the same, its outcome may be uncertain. Since the Bank believes that the Plaintiffs' request has no grounds, the Bank did not make any provisions regarding this litigation.

On 29 October 2012, the Bank presented its arguments. Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. requested that the citation be considered null; the request was accepted and an order was issued for the repetition of the citation, and the same was repeated on 8 January 2013.Banque Privée presented its arguments on 11 March 2013. On 10 December 2013, the parties were notified to file their requests for evidence within 15 days (the deadline ended on 10 January 2014). The proceeding is waiting the scheduling of a preliminary hearing or the pronunciation of a decision accepting the formalities of right of action.

52. Transfers of assets

The Bank 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 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 financial assets sold under these transactions are derecognised from the balance sheet of the Group, since the transactions result in the transfer to the Funds of a substantial portion of the risks and benefits associated with the assets as well as the control on the assets.

The specialized funds that acquire the financial assets are closed funds, in which the holders of the participation units have no possibility to request the reimbursement of its investment 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 holds more than 50% of the capital of the Fund.

The Funds have a specific management structure (General Partner), fully independent from the banks and that is selected on the date of establishment of the Fund.

The management structure of the Fund has as main responsibilities:

  • determine the objective of the Fund;

  • 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 the majority of the transactions (in which the Bank holds minority positions) establish companies under the Portuguese law in order to acquire the loans to the banks, which are financed through the issuance of senior and junior bonds. The value of the senior bonds fully subscribed by the Funds that hold the share capital of the companies match the fair value of the asset sold, determined in accordance with a negotiation based on valuations performed by both parties. These bonds are remunerated at an interest rate that reflects the risk of the company that holds the assets.

The value of the junior investments is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior bonds and the sale value.

These junior investments, when subscribed by the Bank, provide the right to a contingent positive value if the recovered amount for the assets transferred is above the nominal value amount of senior bonds plus it related interest.

However, considering that these 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, they are fully provisioned.

Therefore, following the transactions, the Bank subscribed:

-Participation units of the Funds, for which the cash-flows that allow the recovery arise mainly from a set of assets transferred from the participant banks (where the Bank has clearly a minority interest). These securities are booked in the available for sale portfolio and are accounted for at fair value based on the market value, as disclosed by the Funds and audited at year end.

  • Junior investments (with higher subordination degree) issued by the 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 Bank, 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 doesn't hold substantially all the risks and rewards.

Considering that it doesn't hold control and doesn't exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Bank performed the derecognition of the assets transferred under the scope of IAS 39.20 c (i) and the recognition of the assets received as follows:

NOTE 1

This recommendation establishes a formal referral to the Companies Code and imposes the duty to identify any shareholder deliberations that, through statutory enforcement are above the legally established (deliberative) quorums, any Articles of Association of the Bank that require a deliberative quorum of a qualified majority, on matters relative to the merger, demerger and transformation of the company. The CMVM's underlying rationale was that it considered this to be the most appropriate form of assuring a greater representativeness of the shareholders, which is an essential condition for the safeguard of the interests of the actual company and all its stakeholders.

NOTE 2

The Bank's Articles of Association do not lay down any rules with a view to preventing the success of public takeover bids. There is also no rule with the content expressed in the second part of the aforesaid recommendation, and its inclusion has never been requested or proposed either by shareholders or members of the governing bodies. Under the terms of the law, any Shareholder or Group of Shareholders holding 2% or more of the share capital may request, at any time, that the suppression of the limit on the counting of voting rights when issued by a single shareholder or economic group, pursuant to article 26 of the Bank's Articles of Association, should be subject to voting at the General Meeting. At the present date, as far as the Bank is aware, there are no shareholders covered by the aforesaid statutory provision. In 2012, the General Meeting approved a profound amendment of the Bank's Articles of Association, where this issue was not subject to any discussion. This may be interpreted as meaning that the shareholders upheld the content of the limitation stipulated in article 26 of the Bank's Articles of Association.

PART I – COMPULSORY INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE, ORGANISATION AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

A. SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE

I. Capital Structure

1. The Bank's share capital amounts to 3,500,000,000 Eurosg, corresponding to 19,707,167,060 registered book entry shares with no par value, fully underwritten and paid-up. All the shares are listed for trading on regulated markets and represent 100% of the share capital. All the shares confer identical rights and are fungible between them.

In accordance with information provided by Interbolsa, on 31 December 2013, the number of Shareholders of Banco Comercial Português scattered and attained 174.168. The Bank's shareholders 'structure continues very scattered and only 5 shareholders own qualified shareholdings (above 2% of the share capital) and only one shareholder has a stake above 5%. We must also highlight the increase of Companies, a sector that represents 36.6% of the share capital by the end of 2013.

The shareholders holders of more than 5 million shares represent 67% of the capital. During 2013, the weight of foreign shareholders increased versus 2012.

In terms of geographical distribution, we must point out the weight of the shareholders in Portugal, representing 51.6% of the total of shareholders.

In accordance with its articles of association, the Bank, besides ordinary shares, may issue shares with special rights, namely voting or non-voting preferential shares either redeemable with or without premium or not redeemable.

2. The shares representing the Bank's share capital are freely transferable.

3. As at 31 December 2013, there were no shares recorded in the Bank's portfolio of own shares.

4. Banco Comercial Português is not a party in significant agreements that might be enforced, altered or terminate in the event of transition of control of the company following a public takeover bid, or change of composition of the governing bodies.

5. Article 26 of the Bank's Articles of Association establish a limitation to voting rights by determining that votes cast by a single shareholder, alone or in a relation with shareholders connected with this single shareholder, corresponding to more than 20% of the votes of the total share capital, should not be counted. The Bank believes that this provision seeks to assure that small and medium-sized shareholders are thus able to exert greater influence on decisions that might be submitted to the General Meeting.

6. The Bank has direct and public knowledge that a shareholders' agreement for the period of five years was concluded on 19 July 2013 between Interoceânico-Capital, SGPS, S.A. and Allpar S.E., a company incorporated under Austrian law. The object of this agreement is the stakes, currently held and/or which might be held in the future by both entities, in the Bank's share capital, aimed at concerted action, namely, in the exercise of voting rights at the General Meeting. Based on the aforesaid agreement, Banco de Portugal attributes qualifying capacity to Allpar, S.E.'s holding in the Bank's share capital.

II. Shares and Bonds Held

7. The qualifying stakes in the Company's share capital as of 31 December 2013, indicating the percentage share capital, votes and imputable votes, and the source and reasons of imputation, are translated in the following table:

9. Under the terms of the Bank's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has powers to, when deemed convenient and after having obtained the favourable opinion of the Audit Committee, increase the share capital, once or more times, until the limit of the value of the existing share capital when the authorisation was granted or upon renewal of this authorisation.

The share capital amounted to 3,000,000,000 euros on the date of the last renewal of this authorisation.

The last authorisation to resolve on a share capital increase was granted at the General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, which was partially exercised in 2012 to the value of 500,000,000euros. The share capital increase through new cash entries was intended for subscription by shareholders in the exercise of their legal preemptive right, with a total cash inflow of 500 million euros, undertaken on 4 October 2012 at the price of € 0.04 per share.

The Board of Directors may thus, in the use of this authorisation, increase the share capital with preemptive right for shareholders, once or more times, by 2,500,000,000 euros, up to 30 May 2017.

Moreover, the Bank's Articles of Association stipulate that, exclusively with respect to any possible increase or increases of share capital that might be deliberated by the Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Audit Committee, through conversion of credit to which the State might be entitled as a result of the calling on guarantees provided under Law 60-A/2008, of 20 October, and which are legally considered share capital increases in cash, the authorisation referred to above must have a maximum, autonomous and additional limit, equal to twice the current value of the Bank's share capital or existing share capital at the time of any renewal of this authorisation, where any possible increases through conversion of State credit do not count for the effect of use of the maximum amount established above, and where any shares to be issued may be preferred shares under the legal and statutory terms.

10. The Company has no records of any significant relations of commercial nature with the holders of qualifying stakes.

The diagram below represents the Bank's Corporate Governance Model structure during 2013:

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors (BofD) is the governing body of the Bank vested with the most ample powers of management and representation of the company.

The directors perform their duties observing and following the duties of zeal, care and loyalty, pursuant to the high standards of professional diligence inherent to a careful and orderly manager and in the interests of the company. The directors are bound to secrecy in respect of any matters dealt with at the board meetings or that they become aware of due to the exercise of their functions, except when the Board of Directors sees the need to internally or publicly disclose its deliberations, or when such disclosure is imposed by law or by a decision of an administrative authority or of a court of law.

Without prejudice to the possibility of additional powers on any matter delegated to the Bank's Executive Committee, the Board of Directors has delegated the most ample managerial powers to the Executive Committee, having reserved the following competence for itself:

The Audit Committee informs the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, in writing, of the work developed and on the conclusions obtained and prepares an annual report of its activity for submission to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee holds regular meetings with the external auditors and statutory auditor. The Audit Committee receives the Reports of the Internal Audit Department, Statutory Auditor and External Auditors. The Audit Committee holds regular meetings with the Chief Financial Officer, Risk Officer, Compliance Officer and Head of the Internal Audit Department, and has the power to summon any Coordinating Director it wishes to hear. The Audit Committee approves the contractual conditions, including remunerative, of the Statutory Auditor and External Auditors.

Apart from the competence referred to above, the Audit Committee is also entrusted with the following:

Supervision of the process of preparation and disclosure of the financial information and review of accounts in the documents presenting the Bank's accounts;

c) Competence and duties

37. The Bank follows best practices in terms of assured independence in the contracting of services rendered by the external auditors, namely, in international terms, the principles embodied in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rule approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, at a European level, Directive 2006/43/EC of the European Parliament and Council, of 17 May 2006 (8th Directive) and the Recommendation of the European Union, of 16 May 2002. And, at a national level, the commercial legislation, supervision rules issued by Banco de Portugal, information disclosed by the Audit Supervision National Board, the recommendations and regulations of the Portuguese Securities Commission (CMVM) and stipulations, as specifically applicable, in the Statute of OROC (Portuguese Chartered Accountants Association).

The Bank's Articles of Association explicitly emphasise, among the competences of the Audit Committee, that of "supervising the independence of the Statutory Auditor and External Auditor, in particular with respect to the provision of additional services".

The Audit Committee, as a supervisory body of the Group, has promoted the adoption of rules that assure the independence of the external auditors in relation to the Group's other bodies and, at the same time, avoid possible creation of situations of conflicts of interest within the entity providing the Group's legal review of accounts or audit services, producing preventative mechanisms of approval of additional services and fees.

In view of the principles presented in the national and international regulations, through the rules concerning "Policies of Approval of Services provided by External Auditors", the Group endorses and systematises a series of rules relative to:

(i) Classification of services provided by external auditors, namely Legal Review and Audit Services, Other Reliability Assurance Services, Tax Advisory Services and Services Other than Legal Review of Accounts or Audit;

(ii) Definition of the set of services that are not Legal Review or Audit Services, which the external auditor is forbidden from providing to any entity of the Group;

(iii) Definition of the set of services that are not related to Legal Review or Audit, which may be provided to the Group under specifically stipulated circumstances;

(iv) Approval by the Audit Committee of the services to be provided by external auditors, with the creation of differentiated authorisation rules according to the type of services in question;

(v) Provision to the Audit Committee of internal control information on the established principles and guidelines.

38. On this matter, see the information presented in point 21. – Audit Committee and preceding point 37.

IV. STATUTORY AUDITOR

39. The permanent Statutory Auditor is KPMG & Associados – Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, S.A., represented by its partner Ana Cristina Soares Valente Dourado, ROC number 1011. The alternate Statutory Auditor is João Albino Cordeiro Augusto, ROC number 632, individually.

40. The Statutory Auditor was elected at the General Meeting held on 18 April 2011, to perform duties during the three-year period 2011/2013. As is the case of all other members of the Bank's Governing Bodies, the Statutory Auditor is also bound to remain in office up to the General Meeting which proceeds with the election of a new Statutory Auditor.

The Statutory Auditor has performed duties at the Bank since its incorporation (1985). However, the Bank has observed the maximum period of performance of review duties through the appointment or rotation of statutory auditors, who in this term of office, represent KPMG & Associados – Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, S.A. Taking this rotation into consideration, the company's representative began to exercise functions for the first time at the General Meeting held on 18 April 2011 for the 2011/2013 term of office.

The Audit Committee issued and submitted to the General Meeting, which was held on 18 April 2011 and elected the Statutory Auditors, a specific and substantiated opinion which explicitly weighed up the conditions of independence of the auditor and the advantages and costs of its replacement.

41. On this matter, see the information presented in point 46.

V. EXTERNAL AUDITOR

42. The Bank's external auditor is KPMG Associados, SROC, S.A. (KPMG), represented permanently by its partner Ana Cristina Soares Valente Dourado, ROC number 1011 and alternately by João Albino Cordeiro Augusto, ROC number 632. The auditor has been registered at the CMVM since 22/12/2004, under number 9093.

43. The Group's External Auditor has performed duties at the Bank since the beginning of its activity. However, the Bank has observed the maximum period of seven years, counted from its appointment, for the performance of duties, through the appointment or rotation of partner auditors.

44. I. At the time of the election of the external auditor and respective statutory auditor, the Audit Committee issued and submitted to the General Meeting, which elected the auditor, a substantiated opinion which weighed up the requirements of independence of the Auditor, namely with respect to the provision of additional services and the advantages and costs of its replacement. Since the General Meeting approved this proposal by a majority of 99.95% of the votes cast, this body clearly validated and recognised the company's interest in the non-rotation of the external auditor. The proposal in question may be consulted at:

http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/institucional/Pages/Institucional.aspx

The Bank's Articles of Association, article 39, subparagraph j), also emphasise, among the competences of the Audit Committee, that of supervising the independence of the external auditors, so as to avoid possible creation of situations of conflicts of interest within the entity providing the Group's legal review of accounts or audit services, producing preventative mechanisms of approval of services and remunerations.

Along the same lines, the Group's document entitled "Policy of Approval of Services provided by the External Auditors", notes that the independence of the auditors can be assured, from a functional point of view and in the objective context of its professional relations with the Group, by observing three major prohibitive principles:

  • Of personal interest the principle that the external auditor cannot have any own financial interest nor be subject to situations which might lead to conflicts of interests with its main duty;
  • Of self-review the principle that the external auditor does not carry out tasks that might be considered management tasks, and, therefore, cannot carry out management tasks or tasks of the responsibility of the management, nor cannot carry out audit tasks on its own work;
  • Of representation the principle that the external auditor cannot carry out tasks that might be classified as duties of direct or indirect representation of any entity of the Group in litigation procedures or other similar situation.

II. The contracting of any services to be provided by external auditors, with the except of legal review and audit services, which comply with their own regulatory and institutional processes, must necessarily be preceded by the approval of the Audit Committee. The provision of services by the external auditors, which are not included in legal review and audit services, involves two different models, according to the type of services to be provided:

  • In the case of the provision of any other services by the external auditors, be it Other Services for Reliability Guarantee, Tax Advisory Services or Other Services, these shall be object of a specific approval by the Audit Committee prior to the entering into the respective contract; the approval proposal shall be forwarded to the Group Head of Compliance, directly in case of domestic operations or through the local compliance officers, in case of operations outside Portugal.
  • Services other than legal review and audit are considered authorised after being subject to ratification of the Audit Committee, through proposal of the Group's Compliance Office submitted at the meeting of the month immediately after the receipt of the request for the provision of services

The application for ratification or approval of the services requested by any area of the Bank or any international operation must necessarily be accompanied by an opinion of the Group's Compliance Office, pursuant to the contracting policy in force, including a duly substantiated recommendation of ratification, approval or refusal.

At the time of the election of the external auditor and respective partner statutory auditor, the Audit Committee issues and submits to the General Meeting, which elects the auditor, a substantiated opinion which weighs up the requirements of independence of the Auditor, namely with respect to the provision of additional services and the advantages and costs of its replacement.

45. The Audit Committee is, under the terms of the Bank's Articles of Association, the body responsible for assessing the quality of the services rendered by the external auditor and respective statutory auditor, where this assessment highlights the professionalism of the auditors, transparency, ethics, quality control and good performance. The Audit Committee regularly monitors the activity of the external auditor and respective partner statutory auditor, in particular appraising the conclusions of the audit of the financial statements, on an individual and consolidated basis, analysing the conclusions of the Desktop Review of the financial statements of the 1st and 3rd quarters and the Limited Review of the six-monthly interim financial statements, and holds meetings with them whenever necessary. The Audit Committee supervised the independence of the Statutory Auditor and External Auditor and also assessed their performance over the financial year, in a continuous manner, having concluded that their duties were performed adequately.

46. Apart from the Audit work, which includes legal review of accounts services and other reliability assurance services, the fees charged by KPMG include also the payment of the following services:

Tax Advisory Services - services provided to the Group in the review of the tax obligations of the different companies in Portugal and abroad.

Services other than legal review - Includes the fees charged by KPMG relative to services other than legal review, which are permitted in accordance with the defined rules of independence and subject to monitoring by the Audit Committee.

With regard to the approval of the contracting of these services and indication of the reasons for their contracting, Millennium bcp maintains a very strict policy of independence in order to prevent any conflicts of interest in the use of the services of its external auditors. As auditor of the BCP Group, KPMG complies with the rules on independence defined by the Group, including those established by the 8th Directive of the European Commission, reviewed by Directive 2006/43/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 17 May 2006, partially transposed into Portuguese Legislation by Decree-Law 224/2008, of 20 November, in addition to the rules on independence defined by KPMG, through application of the International Standards on Auditing issued by the International Federation of Accountants.

In order to safeguard the independence of the Auditor, and the national and international good practices and standards, the Bank's Audit Committee has approved a series of regulatory principles, as described below:

KPMG and the companies or legal persons belonging to it ("Network") cannot provide services to the Bank or Group, which are deemed forbidden. Although the general principle is considered that the independence of the external auditors can be affected by the provision of services to the Group that are different from those related to legal review or audit, the Audit Committee has identified a series of services that may be rendered by the external auditors, without placing their independence in question. These services are authorised by the Group's Compliance Office and subject to ratification of the Audit Committee.

47. The amount of the annual remuneration paid by the Company and/or legal persons in controlling or group relations, to the auditor and other natural or legal persons belonging to the same network, detailed with their respective percentages, are reflected in the following table:

C. INTERNAL ORGANISATION

I. Articles of Association

48. Article 24 of the Bank's Articles of Association establishes the requirement of a constitutive quorum of over one third of the share capital for the General Meeting to be able to deliberate on first call.

Regarding the deliberative quorum, the Articles of Association only diverge from the law with respect to deliberations on the merger, demerger and transformation of the Company, which require approval by three quarters of the votes cast, and dissolution of the Company where a majority corresponding to three quarters of the paid-up share capital is required.

The Bank and the shareholders that approved the articles of association in force consider that, since Banco Comercial Português is one of the companies with the greatest free float of the Portuguese Stock Exchange, it is important to ensure that in any circumstance and not only in the case specifically mentioned in the law, the shareholders, regardless of their respective representativeness, receive the guarantee that, in first call, the items submitted to the appraisal of the General Meeting can only be resolved if the capital is minimally represented.

II. Communication of Irregularities

49. The Bank pursues a culture of responsibility and compliance, recognizing the importance of an appropriate structure of communication and processing of irregularities as a corporate good practice instrument and implements the adequate means for the reception, handling and record of irregularities allegedly committed by members of the corporate bodies and employees of the Bank and of the companies part of Group BCP.

Are considered irregularities, the actions and omissions, with malicious intent or negligent, related with the management, the accounting organization and the internal supervision of the Bank, that, seriously, may:

  • a) Violate the law, the regulations and other rules in effect;
  • b) Endanger the assets of the Bank, shareholders and clients;
  • c) Cause a reputational danger to BCP.

The employees, attorneys, representatives or any other individuals that provide services to the Bank or to any other entity of the Group on an occasional or permanent basis, the shareholders and any other individuals, may report irregularities.

The employees should report to the Audit Committee any irregularity that allegedly occurred and that they are aware of; in particular, the employees that become aware of any irregularity due to the functions they exercise, notably in the areas of internal audit, risk management or compliance, have the special duty to report it.

The communication of irregularities can be made by any means of written communication, addressed to: - Comissão de Auditoria – Av.ª Prof. Dr. Cavaco Silva (TagusPark), Edifício1, 2744-002 Porto Salvo, or to the e-mail address: [email protected].

The Audit Committee, supported by its secretariat, is responsible for managing the communication of irregularities system and for ensuring that the communications remain confidential.

Once a communication is received, the Audit Committee will develop the diligences that it deems necessary to assess the existence of sufficient grounds to begin an investigation and it may establish a prior contact with the author of the communication, if known. If there are sufficient grounds, the Audit Committee will develop all necessary investigations to become totally aware of all facts and it may request the support of the Audit Division, Risk Office, of the Compliance Office and of any other Bank's divisions or areas.

Once the investigation is over, the Audit Committee will make a report to, internally, transmit its conclusions so that the measures appropriate for the resolution of the irregularity may be adopted and the respective sanction, applied, if any. It must also report its conclusions to external entities whenever the respective involvement in the specific situation so justifies.

The communications received, as well as the reports originated by them are mandatorily kept in paper or other long-lasting support enabling their full reproduction for a minimum period of five years, pursuant to the provisos of article 120 of the Legal Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (LFCIFC).

The confidential nature of the communications is guaranteed and the same may not serve as grounds for the institution of any disciplinary, civil or criminal proceedings nor the adoption of legally forbidden discriminatory practices.

During the financial year to which this report refers, no communication of irregularities was recorded.

III. Internal Control and Risk management

50. The internal control system of the BCP Group is based on an appropriate control environment, a risk framework system, and enables the identification, assessment, follow-up and control of the risks to which the Group is exposed, an efficient information and communication system, and an effective monitoring process that permits assuring the adequacy and efficacy of the actual internal control system. In this context, pursuant to the objectives defined in Banco de Portugal Notice 5/2008, Banco Comercial Português has established the risk management, compliance and internal audit functions, performed by the Compliance Office, Risk Office and Audit Division, respectively, endowing them with the technical and human resources that enable them to establish effective and efficient processes to identify, manage, control, monitor and communicate risks and mechanisms that are appropriate to the internal control, both in the Bank and in the Group.

Indeed, the first coordinators of these Divisions are those responsible, at a Group level, for the conformity of the functions of the internal control system, through which the objectives outlined in Banco de Portugal Notice 5/2008 are achieved, namely:

  • Respect for all the applicable legal or regulatory provisions;
  • Efficient performance of the activity;
  • The existence of complete, pertinent, reliable and timely financial and management information.

A) Risk Office

The main function of the Risk Office is to support the Board of Directors in the development and implementation of risk management and internal control processes, as described in greater detail in point 54.

In the performance of its duties, the Risk Officer relates with the Board of Directors, on which it depends, or with the Audit Committee.

Risk Officer: José Miguel Bensliman Schorcht da Silva Pessanha

B) Compliance Office

The principal mission of the Compliance Office is to strive for the adoption, by all the Group's Institutions, of the internal and external rules governing their respective activity, in order to contribute to mitigate the risk imputed to these Institutions of penalties or accommodate the significant material losses or damage to reputation.

In performing the duties entrusted by the law or other legal source that have been attributed by the Bank's statutory bodies, the Compliance Office makes decisions, with a binding enforcement for its receivers, aimed at the regulatory compliance of the different business areas.

When preparing opinions and related studies at the request of the Bank's different areas and divisions, the Compliance Office identifies and assesses the various types of risks, including those in institutional processes or associated to products and services, prepares proposals for the correction of processes and risk mitigation, ensures the ongoing analysis of the general supervisory environment and, in general, provides specialised support on matters of control and compliance. The Compliance Office is also responsible for preparing and submitting a report to the management body, at least on an annual basis, identifying any non-compliance observed and the recommendations issued to correct any noncompliance or failings that have been recorded.

The Compliance Office intervenes and actively participates in the Employee training policy, namely through compliance training actions ministered to the entire Group, the maintenance of strong knowledge on compliance issues, in particular on Prevention of Money Laundering and Combat of the Financing of Terrorism (BCFT), and the development of a culture of internal control within the Group.

The Group's Head of Compliance performs his duties in an independent, continuous and effective manner, being responsible for, namely:

  • Defining the appropriate compliance tools for the communication and information process, the regulatory monitoring process, the principles of definition of policies and guidelines, in proactive and preventative action and in risk assessment, namely in the control and monitoring of the materialisation of compliance risks, prevention of money laundering and combat of the financing of terrorism, and reputation risk in all the Group's entities, aimed at the alignment of concepts, practices and objectives in these matters;
  • Assuring the adoption of the policies, principles and procedures of the Compliance Office, by all the Group's international operations, with a local Compliance Officer being appointed for each operation;
  • Establishing the profile of the Employees of the compliance areas of the parent company, its branches and subsidiaries;
  • Coordinating, as a form of assuring legal compliance relative to money laundering and financing of terrorism, and the monitoring of the Group's branches and subsidiaries, duties which have been entrusted to two working parties: the AML Committee and Compliance Committee.

The compliance teams allocated to the branches and subsidiaries are composed in the same way as that of the parent company and the team leader, the local Compliance Officer, is appointed by the Board of Directors, after opinion issued by the Group's Head of Compliance, to whom this Officer reports functionally.

The Group's Head of Compliance reports, under the terms of the law, to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, through the Director responsible for this area and, functionally to the Audit Committee, according to the matters defined by the Audit Committee at any given time, forwarding reports of its activity, on a monthly basis, which enable the follow-up of compliance with the action plans that are presented annually. The Group's Head of Compliance may also, and whenever necessary, issue occasional reports on relevant issues in the context of the control and monitoring of risks concerning compliance, money laundering and financing of terrorism and reputation, of each entity or of the Group.

Group Head of Compliance: Isabel Maria dos Santos Raposo

C) Audit Division

The Audit Department is responsible for the Internal Audit function of Banco Comercial Português. This Department carries out its mission by adopting principles of internal auditing which are internationally recognised and accepted, issuing recommendations based on the outcome of the assessments made, aimed at adding value to the organisation and improving the control and quality of the Bank's operations, contributing to the achievement of its strategic interests and ensuring that:

  • The risks are duly identified and managed, and the implemented controls are correct and proportional to the risks;
  • The system of assessment of the Bank's capital is adequate in relation to its level of exposure to risk;
  • The operations are recorded correctly and the operational, financial and managerial information is rigorous, reliable and in due time;
  • The safeguarding and security of the interests and assets of the Bank and Group or which were entrusted to them are duly ensured;
  • The Employees perform their duties in conformity with the internal policies, rules and procedures and with the legislation and other applicable regulations;
  • The resources are acquired economically, used efficiently and protected adequately;
  • The programmes, plans and objectives defined by the management are followed;
  • The different governing bodies interact in an adequate, effective and efficient manner;

The activity of the Audit Department contributes to the pursuit of the objectives defined in Banco de Portugal Notice 5/2008 for the internal control system of institutions covered by the General Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies, ensuring the existence of:

  • An adequate control environment;
  • A solid risk management system;
  • An efficient information and communication system;
  • An effective monitoring process.

The head of the Audit Division is appointed by the Board of Directors, and reports hierarchically to the Executive Committee and functionally to the Audit Committee.

Head: Mário António Pinho Gaspar Neves.

51. The hierarchical or functional dependence of the Audit Division, Compliance Office and Risk Office, in relation to other corporate bodies, committees or commissions is presented in the table below:

52. Simultaneously with the areas with Risk Internal Control System management duties - the Risk Office and Compliance Office- and the area with monitoring duties-the Bank's Audit Division- there is an information and communication system which supports decision-making and control processes, both at an internal and external level, of the competence of the Accounting and Consolidation Division and Research, Planning and Assets and Liabilities Management Division, which ensures the existence of substantive, current, timely and reliable information, enabling an overall and encompassing view of the financial situation, development of activity, compliance with the defined strategy and objectives, identification of the institution's risk profile, and performance and prospects of evolution of the emerging markets.

The financial information and management process is assisted by the accounting and management support systems which record, classify, associate and archive, in a timely, systematic, reliable, complete and consistent manner, all the operations carried out by the institution and its subsidiaries, in accordance with the determinations and policies issued by the Executive Committee.

Hence, the Risk Office, Compliance Office, Accounting and Consolidation Division, Research, Planning and ALM Division and Audit Division ensure the implementation of the procedures and means required to obtain all the relevant information for the information consolidation process at a Group level, both of accounting nature and relative to support to the management and risk monitoring and control, which should cover, namely:

  • The definition of the contents and format of the information to be reported by the entities included in the consolidation perimeter, in accordance with the accounting policies and guidelines defined by the management body, as well as the dates when the reporting is required;
  • The identification and control of intra-Group operations;
  • Assurance that the managerial information is consistent between the different entities, so that it is possible to measure and monitor the evolution and profitability of each business, verify compliance with the objectives that have been established, as well as evaluate and control the risks incurred by each entity, both in absolute and relative terms.

Regarding credit risk, the Credit Division also performs risk assessment duties pursuant to its main competences:

  • Appraisal and issue of opinions or decisions on credit proposals submitted by the Bank's business areas, according to the competence defined in internal regulations;

The Rating Division participates in the control of risks associated to loans, where its primary responsibility is the attribution of risk levels to Companies which are Bank Customers, assuring that they are assessed on an ongoing basis in an adequate manner. In order to assure the sound pursuit of this responsibility, specialised competences in the assessment of particular segments were developed within the Rating Division, namely for the Large Corporate, Real Estate Development, Project Finance, State Business Sector and Funds segments. At the same time, the Rating Division systematic analyses the evolution of risk levels in order to assess the adequacy of the rating models used and identify matters for their fine-tuning.

D. REMUNERATIONS

I. Competence for determination

66. The Remuneration and Welfare Board, under the competence delegated, for the three-year period of 2012/2014, by the General Meeting, is the competent body to determine the remuneration of the governing bodies, including that of the members of the Executive Committee and the terms of the supplementary pensions due to retirement, old age or invalidity of executive directors.

The Remuneration and Welfare Board, is also competent to submit, to the Bank's Annual General Meeting, a statement on the remuneration policy of the Bank's governing bodies, pursuant to the rules and taking into account the applicable recommendations.

Under its objective to contribute to the development of talent management in the Millennium BCP Group, the Nomination and Assessment Commission approves the technical and professional profile of the job applications addressed to the Company, as well as promotions due to merit, and is the body responsible for establishing the remuneration policy of heads of units and directors, pursuant to number 3 of article 248–B of the Securities Code that it submits to the General Meeting.

KPMG issued a statement on the verification of the application of the remuneration policies and systems of the Bank's corporate bodies with no comments.

II. Remuneration Commission/Remuneration and Welfare Board

67. The Remuneration and Welfare Board is composed of three to five members, appointed at the General Meeting, the majority of whom should be independent.

As at 31 December 2013, the composition of the Remuneration and Welfare Board was as follows:

Chairman in office: José Manuel Archer Galvão Teles (independent)

Members: Manuel Soares Pinto Barbosa (independent)

José Luciano Vaz Marcos (independent)

Bernardo de Sá Braamcamp Sobral Sottomayor (not independent, member selected for the period of enforcement of the public investment to strengthen the Bank's own funds, under the terms of Order 8840-B/2012, of 3 July).

The elected Chairman of the Remuneration and Welfare Board, Baptista Muhongo Sumbe, resigned from his position on 6 September 2013, with the Remuneration and Welfare Board having nominated Dr. José Manuel Archer Galvão Teles to chair the Board until the Annual General Meeting of 2014.

The members of the Remuneration and Welfare Board are independent from the members of the management board and, with the exception of Bernardo de Sá Braamcamp Sobral Sottomayor, are also independent in relation to the Company as confirmed by the respective curricula attached to the present report.

The Remuneration and Welfare Board, with a view to developing its competence in line with the best international practices on matters of remuneration, contracted Mercer Portugal Lda. (Marsh Mclennan), a leading worldwide company in human resources and specialized technical advisory services, in order to obtain a series of guideline principles for the definition of the remuneration policy of the members of the governing bodies and material risk takers of the Group's different companies, in conformity with the guidelines disclosed by the national and international regulators, in particular the EBA (European Banking Authority).

At the time of the contracting of Mercer Portugal, Lda., promoted by the Remuneration and Welfare Board, the Board of Directors together with the Remuneration and Welfare Board deliberated to request this firm to analyse the remuneration policy of the Bank's Directors, in order to ensure the coherence of the policies to be implemented and rationalisation of costs related to consultants.

For this reason, and since neither this consultant nor any of its senior staff have any privileged relations with the Board of Directors or any of its members, it is deemed that its contracting for the provision of the service, with the broad scope referred to in the preceding paragraph, can in no manner affect the independence of this consultant in relation to the Bank or its Board of Directors.

68. Both the members of the Remuneration and Welfare Board and the Nomination and Assessment Commission are people who, due to their professional experience and curriculum (see Annex II), assure suitable knowledge and profile with regard to matters of remuneration policy.

III. Structure of remunerations

69. In line with the Bank's recapitalisation plan involving public investment, established in article 9 of Law 63-A/2008 of 24 November, in its current version, Banco Comercial Português was bound, during the public investment period, by article 12 of Implementing Order 150-A/2012 of 17 May, therefore, and regardless of the remuneration policy of its management bodies approved by the General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, the aggregate remuneration of the members of the management and supervisory bodies was stipulated at 50% of the average remuneration received by the members of these bodies in 2010 and 2011, with no variable remuneration being paid.

Notwithstanding the above, the Remuneration and Welfare Board submitted to the General Meeting of 20 May 2013, with a binding character, the Remuneration Model of the Board of Directors, including the Executive Committee, transcribed below, which was approved by 99.66% of the votes cast, and where the meeting was attended by shareholders or their representatives holding 46.98% of the share capital.

"Composition of the Remuneration

a) Board of Directors

Under the terms of article 15 of BCP's Articles of Association, the remuneration of the directors should be established for each director individually, taking into account, namely, the Bank's medium and long term interests and the non-encouragement of excessive risk-taking.

Taking into consideration the provisions in article 9 of Banco de Portugal Notice 10/2011 and in article 15, number 1 of BCP's Articles of Association, the non-executive members of BCP's Board of Directors earn a fixed remuneration, paid 12 times a year, the value of which is presently determined pursuant to article 12, number 2 of Implementing Order 150-A/2012, with the remuneration of the non-executive members of the Board of Directors appointed by the Portuguese State having been defined by the same Order 15463-A/2012, referred to above.

The remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee may be composed of a fixed component and a variable component, pursuant to article 8 of Banco de Portugal Notice 10/2011 and article 15, number 1 of BCP's Articles of Association, and in view of the limitations presented in point XI of the annex to Decree-Law 104/2007, introduced by article 4 of Decree-Law 88/2011:

i. Fixed Annual Remuneration

The fixed component of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors is:

Paid 14 times a year

Determined pursuant to the criteria established in article 12, number 2 of Implementing Order 150- A/2012.

ii. Variable Remuneration

Under the terms of article 15, number 2 of the Company's Articles of Association, the sum of the variable portions of the remuneration of the different directors cannot exceed 2% of the distributable profit for the year.

In view of the provisions in article 12 of Implementing Order 150-A/2012, the present decision was taken not to pay any variable remuneration during the period while the Bank is subject to the programme of capitalisation using public investment, who final termination is foreseen for 30 June 2017.

iii. Benefits

The existing practice in terms of health insurance, credit card and mobile telephone remains in effect, where the Executive Committee is responsible for the respective authorisation.

Company vehicles do not fall under the competence of the Remuneration and Welfare Board, hence the limits to their value shall be determined by the Executive Committee, taking into account the practice followed by other credit institutions of equivalent size.

No other cash benefits are attributed to the members of the Executive Committee.

iv. Social Security and supplements

Under the terms of article 17 of BCP's Articles of Association, approved at the General Meeting held on 28 February 2012:

"1. Directors benefit from the social security system on a case-by-case basis, where applicable.

2. Directors are also entitled to a supplementary retirement pension due to old age or invalidity, where the Bank may take out insurance contracts in their favour.

3. Upon taking up office and through agreement with each director, the insurance contract may be replaced by contributions to a defined contribution pension fund.------------------------------------------------------ 4. The amount of the Bank's contributions, under the two preceding numbers, is established annually by the Remuneration and Welfare Board.

5. The Bank does not undertake additional charges related supplementary retirement pensions after the termination of duties of each director.

6. The taking of effect of the right to a supplementary retirement pension due to old age or invalidity depends on the beneficiary retiring, under the applicable social security system.

7. Upon retirement, the beneficiary may select the redemption of the capital. 8. In the case of the death before retirement, the right to the reimbursement of the accumulated capital is maintained, in accordance with the applicable contractual or legal provisions."

v. Other aspects

The members of the Executive Committee shall receive no additional compensations for the performance of their duties other than those disclosed herein.

Since the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee intends to compensate their duties performed at BCP directly and at companies related with BCP (namely companies in controlling or groups relations with BCP), or governing bodies to which they have been appointed by indication or in representation of the Bank, the net value of the remunerations received annually for such duties by each member of the Executive Committee shall be deducted from the respective value of the Annual Fixed Remuneration. It is the duty and responsibility of each executive member of the Board of Directors to disclose any additional compensation which they have received, for the effect of the procedure established above.

Members of the Executive Committee shall not conclude any risk hedging or risk transfer contracts relative to any component of deferred component which might minimise the effects arising from the risk inherent to the established remuneration system.

Compensations and indemnities paid or owed to former members of the management body due to termination of office during the year are described in the Corporate Governance report.

b) Supervisory bodies

As noted above, taking into consideration the provisions in article 9 of Banco de Portugal Notice 10/2011, the members of the Audit Committee earn a fixed remuneration, paid 12 times a year, the value of which is presently determined pursuant to article 12, number 2 of Implementing Order 150- A/2012."

70. In view of the first paragraph of point 69 and the way that the remuneration of the governing bodies was effectively established in 2013, this point is not applicable.

71-75. In view of the first paragraph of point 69, these points are not applicable to Banco Comercial Português throughout the duration of the State intervention period.

76. The System of Retirement due to old age or invalidity of the members of the Executive Committee is currently defined in article 17 of the Memorandum of Association, transcribed below, and in the Implementation Regulations, with the documents having been approved at the General Meeting held on 28 February 2012.

"1. Directors benefit from the social security system on a case-by-case basis, where applicable.

2. Directors are also entitled to a supplementary retirement pension due to old age or invalidity, where the Bank may take out insurance contracts in their favour.

3. Upon taking up office and through agreement with each director, the insurance contract may be replaced by contributions to a defined contribution pension fund.

4. The amount of the Bank's contributions, under the two preceding numbers, is established annually by the Remuneration and Welfare Board.

5. The Bank does not undertake additional charges related supplementary retirement pensions after the termination of duties of each director.

6. The taking of effect of the right to a supplementary retirement pension due to old age or invalidity depends on the beneficiary retiring, under the applicable social security system.

7. Upon retirement, the beneficiary may select the redemption of the capital.

8. In the case of the death before retirement, the right to the reimbursement of the accumulated capital is maintained, in accordance with the applicable contractual or legal provisions."

No additional benefit is foreseen for directors in the event of early retirement.
