Annual Report for 2014
In 2014, the rate of global growth remained moderate, reflecting the loss of vitality of the emerging economies and the anaemic growth registered in the developed countries, particularly in the Eurozone.
In the Eurozone, in spite of the fall in interest rates to record lows, the significant depreciation of the euro and the general appreciation of European financial assets, credit and investment remained below expected growth levels, private consumption stagnated and unemployment remained high. Even so the moderate growth of the Eurozone countries in 2014 represented an improvement relative to the contraction observed in the preceding year.
In this context and in the absence of inflationary pressures, the European Central Bank (ECB) reinforced its monetary policy through the reduction of the main refinancing rate to 0.05%, placing the rate of the deposit facility at negative values (-0.20%), new refinancing operations and a mortgage bond purchase and credit securitisation programme. As a result, the very short-term euro reference rates ended 2014 in negative territory.
Nevertheless, the Portuguese economy grew 0.9% in 2014, following three consecutive years of recession, driven by the improvement of private consumption and investment, as well as export growth. In 2015, the recovery trend for economic activity should continue to be underpinned by domestic demand, in spite of the risks of some uncertainty in European economic policy and, domestically, because it is an election year.
In the other geographical areas where Millennium bcp has operations, performances were positive but diverse. In Poland, economic activity in 2014 accelerated relative to the previous year, benefiting from the buoyancy of domestic demand and the resilience of exports. There were, however, worsening deflationary pressures that led to a more accommodative monetary policy stance, reflected in the depreciation of the zloty. In Angola, the slowdown in non-oil sector activity and the contraction in the levels of oil extraction resulted in a slowdown of GDP, which nonetheless and according to the IMF achieved a 3.9% growth in 2014. In Mozambique, the sound performance of the mining, construction and financial services sectors enabled the economy to remain on a strong growth path, which the IMF estimates to have been 7.5% in 2014.
For the BCP Group, 2014 was a very important year, since the bank was able to reverse the trend of net losses and achieved the main targets of the agreement signed with the Directorate-General for Competition (DG Comp) and of the Strategic Plan ahead of initial expectations.
Following the capital increase of approximately 2.242 billion Euros, completed successfully despite the very unfavourable economic environment, 1.85 billion Euros of CoCos were repaid to the State, in addition to the 400 million Euros that had been paid in the first half of the year. It is important to highlight that the Bank currently has only 750 million Euros of exposure to the State, down from 3 billion Euros in CoCos from the support received in the first half of 2012. We thereby reduced the pressure on net interest income and moved a few steps closer to guaranteeing our independence.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the vote of confidence the Shareholders and new investors expressed regarding Millennium bcp's restructuring plan, which leaves the Bank better prepared to face future challenges.
In addition, during this year, Millennium bcp continued to divest non-core activities, with a favourable impact on capital. The Non-Life subsidiary Ocidental was sold and the bank signed agreements for the sale of the operation in Romania (completed at the start of 2015) and of Millennium Gestão de Activos.
The annual consolidated net income of -226.6 million Euros reveals a clear improvement in relation to the net loss of 740.5 million Euros recorded in 2013, reflecting the increasing contribution of the international operations and the favourable evolution of the profitability of the activity in Portugal, in line with the trends forecast in the Strategic Plan.
The international operations (Poland, Angola, Mozambique, Switzerland and Cayman Islands) contributed to consolidated results with 201.5 million Euros (310.0 million Euros before minority interests), a year-on-year increase of 13.1%.
It is important to underline the excellent evolution of the consolidated operating profit, which more than doubled, from 474 million Euros in 2013 to 1.143 billion Euros in 2014, which reflects the very
positive contribution of net interest income (+31.6%) and the significant reduction in operating costs (- 11.2%).
The activity in Portugal in 2014 registered a significant improvement in net operating revenues (+49.5%), driven by the very positive performance of net interest income (+53.7%), sustained by the continued decline in the cost of term deposits and by the lower level of interest associated with CoCos.
In 2014, efforts to reduce operating costs continued, especially in Portugal, with a decline of 19.5% (- 5.9%, excluding specific items), achieving the targets set out in the Strategic Plan, namely the restructuring of the domestic operation, with the reduction of total staff, from 8,584 in December 2013 to 7,795 in December 2014, and of branches, from 774 in December 2013 to 695 in December 2014, as well as the decrease in salaries undertaken in the third quarter of 2014.
New net past due loans in Portugal declined by 14.7%, which led to a recurrent reduction of the cost of risk, in spite of the reinforcement of provisioning, due to the recording of the impacts of the Asset Quality Review exercise. Nevertheless, the consolidated ratios of credit at risk (12.0%) and of NPL (11.5%) remained high, having slightly increased relative to the previous year.
In terms of liquidity, at the end of the year the Bank presented a well-balanced balance sheet, having reduced its commercial gap by more than 4 billion Euros relative to December 2013, through a combination of an increase in customer deposits (+2.5%) and a reduction in loans granted to customers (-4.3%).
The ratio of net loans to total balance sheet customer funds fell from 108%, in December 2013, to 102%, in December 2014, whereas the ratio of net loans to deposits (pursuant to the criteria of the Banco de Portugal) decreased from 117% in December 2013 to 109%, in December 2014, well below the recommended limit of 120%.
The use of funding from the ECB fell to 6.6 billion Euros (1.5 billion Euros of which are relative to TLTRO), compared with 10 billion Euros recorded at the end of 2013, with the State guaranteed issues having been fully reimbursed. At the end of the year, the Bank had a pool of eligible assets at the ECB of 14.2 billion Euros (net of haircuts).
Regarding capital levels, the common equity tier 1 ratio came to 12.0% according to the phased-in criterion and to 8.9% on a fully implemented basis (considering the new deferred tax assets regimen). These figures already reflect the exogenous impacts arising from the change in the discount rate of the pension fund to 2.5% via the decline in market yields, the recording of the impact of the AQR and the favourable evolution of operating profit.
During 2014, we showed that we were closer than ever to our Customers and supported the economies where we have operations.
In Portugal, we held the Millennium Days for Companies and the Millennium Days for Agricultural Entrepreneurship to support companies from all regions, both in their internationalisation and in the reinforcement of their competitiveness. We also signed new protocols and new funding lines to continue to ensure the most advantageous conditions for our corporate customers. And because we believe that it is crucial to contribute to society's cultural enrichment, we exhibited the Bank's collection of art works, at various points throughout the country. It is also important to highlight the work of the Millennium bcp Foundation in social responsibility initiatives, namely in institutional cultural patronage, having supported the reconstruction of works of a high architectural and patrimonial value in our country.
In Poland, Bank Millennium continued to develop the functionalities and services for the mobile channel and reinforced its commitment to the companies segment with an increase in funding for companies and with the launch of products and services more oriented towards the needs of the Polish corporate sector. Millennium Angola maintained its leading position in the financing of Angolan SMEs through the "Angola Invests" programme and launched the "SME Excellence", with preferential services and conditions for financially solid companies with innovative and sustainable projects. In Mozambique, Millennium bim maintained its relevant role in supporting Mozambican SMEs, with a series of products and services aimed at supporting day-to-day management, investment and international trade.
In 2015, we will pay close attention to the context of uncertainties that may constrain the banking activity, namely those regarding the political and macroeconomic outlook, the maintenance of a long horizon of low interest rates, the structural changes in the competitive environment and, in addition, the requirements arising from the entry into force of the new European supervisory model, with new capital requirements.
We will continue to take, with determination, all the necessary measures to ensure the sustainable growth of Millennium bcp, focusing our strategy on the recovery of the profitability of the operation in Portugal and in the development of our operations in other geographical areas, whose contribution has been of vital importance for the Group.
We would also like to say a special word of thanks to all the Employees who, through their commitment, perseverance and professionalism, play a fundamental role in the Group's performance.
Thanks to the efforts made by all, we are building a more efficient Millennium bcp, to continue to serve our Customers with excellence, ensuring a leading position in the markets where we operate and adequately guaranteeing the interests of our Shareholders and other Stakeholders.

The Group provides a wide variety of banking services and financial activities in Portugal and abroad, and is present in the following markets: Poland, Mozambique, Angola and Switzerland. All its banking operations develop their activity under the Millennium brand. Always attentive to the challenges imposed on an increasingly more global market, the Group also ensures its presence in the five continents of the world through representative offices and/or commercial protocols.
The Bank offers a vast range of financial products and services: current accounts, payment systems, 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 Bank's distribution networks, offering a wide range of products and services, in particular asset management and insurance.
Millennium bcp is Portugal's largest privately-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.
At the end of 2014, the Bank had 695 branches, serving over 2.3 million Customers, and held the position of second bank (first privately-owned bank) in terms of market share for both loans to customers (18.9%), and customer deposits (18.6%), in December 2014.
The resilience of the business model is primarily based on the Bank's concentration on retail banking, by nature more stable and less volatile, in relation to the lower weight of financial operations. The Bank adopted a new business model based on a new segmentation of its customer base, a review of the products and services that it offers and adjustment of its back office and branch network, as well as the aim of become closer to its Customers, while at the same time reducing operating costs. The objective of the Bank is to ensure sustainable profitability in the medium and long term, seeking to become the best in class in terms of operational efficiency, improving operating profit in a sustainable manner and maintaining a high level of credit risk control, thus preserving its strategic position in the Portuguese retail and SME banking services market.
In September 2013, the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission announced the formal agreement with the Portuguese authorities on the restructuring plan of the Bank, having concluded that it complies with the rules of the European Union regarding state aid, showing the bank is viable without continued State support.
The share capital increase operation concluded in July 2014 enabled the Bank to accelerate its strategic plan, by repaying a total of 2,250 million euros of the hybrid capital instruments (CoCos) underwritten by the Portuguese State in 2014, bringing forward the full repayment of these instruments to 2016 and increasing the organic generation of capital, building the foundation for sustainable earnings growth, which will promote greater balance between the contribution of the domestic and international components.
Since its incorporation, the Bank has built a reputation associated with innovation. BCP was the first bank in Portugal to introduce specific innovative concepts and products, including direct marketing methods, branch layouts based on customer profiles, salary accounts, simpler branches ("NovaRede"), telephone banking services, health insurance (Médis) and direct insurance, and a website dedicated to individual customers and corporate banking. The Bank was also a pioneer in the launch of a new Internet Banking concept, based on the ActivoBank platform, which provides a simplified service to the customer, including the opening of a current account using a tablet. Other examples of innovative solutions include: (i) "Commercial GPS", a new commercial efficiency programme in the SME and Corporate network sectors of Millennium bcp, which permits detection of sale opportunities for SMEs and Corporate Customers through CRM software installed on a tablet, enabling relationship managers to be in contact with their Customers in a more efficient manner; (ii) "Service to Sales", focused on the adjustment of the service model in mass market branches (level of staff per branch, employee operation model, customer card readers) to maximise personal contact with Customers, take advantage of crossselling opportunities and offer customer-tailored solutions; and (iii) Mobile Banking for companies, which permits the validation of operations on the mobile phone without having to register on Millennium bcp's website.
With the purpose of continuing improvement of its information systems, the Bank developed a series of initiatives and structuring projects, among which the following are particularly noteworthy: the start-up of a project to renew the Treasury systems, which includes, in addition to Portugal, the operations of Poland, Angola and Mozambique; the creation, on the "millenniumbcp.pt" website, of an exclusive area with information and a differentiating offer for Shareholders of the Bank; the implementation, on the ActivoBank website, of the SaxoBank trading platform, and the renewal of the Apps for individual Customers of Millennium bcp and ActivoBank, including the provision of the new version of the respective Stock Market Apps. Also noteworthy is the launch of the new application for collateral management, which simplifies the management of processes associated to guarantees received by the Bank; the provision of the decentralised capture of cheque images, which ensured the feasibility of the scanning and capture of the image of the cheque at the counter and its sending in digital format to SIBS; the project to evaluate the application portfolio, with the objective of optimising all the applications under management and the implementation of a new tool to support credit decision strategies. Particular reference should be made to the provision of new resources to Companies, Corporate and Private Banking Networks, which enable the Employees of these networks to access their desktop remotely, an important contribution to a new way of working. Furthermore, with regard to Companies and Corporate Networks, the provision of a new version of the "Commercial GPS" tool is also noteworthy. It is also worth highlighting the implementation of a Disaster Recovery Plan for the Bank's websites and mobile solutions, which guarantees, in the event of an anomaly, the continuing operation of these services, and the conclusion of the Office Printing 2 project involving the technological renewal of the printer fleet. In addition, it is important to mention the start-up of the "GO Paperless" project aimed at transforming and simplifying business processes through the "dematerialisation" of operations, using edocument production and signature solutions and the development projects of the new Web solution for Mobile directed at Individual Customers, as well as the Forex Trading Platform integrated in the Companies portal, which provide a more complete offer adapted to the needs and behaviour of Customers, increasingly based on digital channels.
Within the scope of the projects of a legal and/or regulatory nature, it is important to mention the implementation of a new solution that enables compliance with the requirements relative to Common Reporting (COREP) and Financial Reporting (FINREP), in addition to the continuing adaptation of the systems to the new requirements relative to the issuing of invoices and communication to the Tax Authority.
The Bank is committed to the innovation, maintenance and promotion of the Internet channels (Individuals and Companies), Mobile for Individuals (App Millennium, Mobile Web and Mobile SMS) and Mobile for Companies (App companies), and Facebook pages (Millennium Mobile and More Millennium).
In terms of Mobile services, in 2014 the Bank registered an increase in the number of users and operations carried out, of 33% and 55% respectively, relative to the previous year. The main innovations consisted in the possibility of establishing deposits, the launch of a new version of the Millennium App, the updating of the MBolsa App for iOS and Android and a Millennium App version with an exclusive layout for Prestige Customers. According to the results of a mobile services user satisfaction survey, 91% of respondents indicated that they were satisfied or very satisfied.
With regard to the promotion of the Individuals website, the savings area was reformulated into the current Savings Centre, the multimedia platform area - MVídeos, simulators and the subscription of new insurance were provided, the management of creditors (SEPA direct debits) was provided and interbank transfer costs were eliminated. Aimed at improving the user experience, several usability tests and workshops/proof of concept with Customers and Employees were also conducted. The number of users and transactions carried out increased by 2% and 3% respectively, relative to the same period of 2013.
Regarding the Companies website, new tools were made available to enhance and improve the control of the payment and collection movements of Companies within the SEPA area. A common area was also created for Companies, which brought together all the public domain information contents. In addition, the offer of tutorial videos was reinforced and interbank transfer costs were eliminated. Companies Customers continued to count on the permanent support of the various automatic channels, concerning the adaptation to the new SEPA formats, with special focus on the Companies Portal, where there were increases in the number of users and transactions, of 2% and 20% respectively, relative to 2013.
Access to the Millennium App and to the Individuals website were made available to non-depositor Customers, with registration provided through any ATM or the website, enabling them to consult financial information of products such as, among others, co-branded cards.
Through the Individuals website, the Shareholders Club was made available to all of the Bank's Shareholders, depositors and non-depositors, as a means of creating value through the provision of financial and non-financial offers and information to Shareholders through a dedicated Newsletter available on a quarterly basis.
The Millennium brand is a basis for the Bank's entire commercial offer and a fundamental part of its strategy with a direct impact on its results, enabling Millennium bcp to be positioned in the mind of its Customers and to project credibility, building up the relationship of confidence in the Bank and creating a sentiment of loyalty, thereby boosting the value of the brand.
In 2014, Millennium bcp altered its positioning significantly, including the way in which it presents itself, interacts and communicates, based on the idea "For a new World, A new Millennium" .
The repositioning of the brand, undertaken in the first half of the year, emerged as a natural and expected evolution of an institution that understands change in the behaviour, needs and attitudes of all its Customers and of Society. Based on the motto "Millennium understands, Millennium resolves", the accompanying institutional campaign reinforced the moment of transition that the Bank, Families and the Economy are going through, in a clear acknowledgement that the world has changed and it is time to move forward.
Millennium bcp thus positions itself as a Bank that knows how to listen to its Customers and adjust to this new reality. Millennium which presents a new commercial attitude and with solutions and products that respond to the "new normal".
The new positioning of the Millennium bcp brand allows the Bank to introduce a more realistic, valid and transparent argument, presenting itself as an institution with a differentiating attitude - that of a closer and more available bank, that lives and understands the present moment.
The campaigns developed during 2014 were a reflection of this attitude and commitment. Both the institutional campaign "For a new World, a new Millennium" and the Companies campaign, under the slogan "Let's move forward", are noteworthy. More than the reinforcement of an intention, these campaigns represented a landmark of a communication strategy that was intended to be comprehensive and differentiated - with the updating of contents, graphic layouts, concepts and messages - as well as focus on differentiating and innovative communication supports, as a way for the Bank to be increasingly close to its Customers.
In 2014, the Bank received several awards, of which the following are noteworthy:
1 Awards are the exclusive responsibility of the entities that attributed them.

In the BCP Group, people management is a foundational vector and one of the strategic pillars of competitiveness and sustainability of the Bank. Simultaneously with the valorisation of general and specific skills, it is crucial, in an organisational enhancement perspective, to identify Employees with potential and talent, so that in future they can perform duties of higher complexity and responsibility.
The development programmes, that have been implemented in the geographic areas of the BCP Group, are a specific response to Employees with high performance and potential, which enable: i) recently recruited Employees to acquire a transversal overview of the business and best practices of the organisation; and ii) experienced Employees the opportunity to acquire fundamental skills so that in future they can perform more complex roles with higher responsibility.
At the BCP Group, the individual performance assessment models, based on a process of counselling and guidance towards the development of skills, gives rise to opportunities of dialogue between the senior staff and their Employees, enabling the further deepening of a culture of personal accountability for the development of their careers.
Together with a constant attitude of encouragement of Employee valorisation and adoption of best practices, the BCP Group upholds a policy of recognition of the merit and dedication shown by each Employee, through a system of incentives, a professional valorisation plan based on merit and specific distinctions, attributed to Employees with excellent performance.
Since Employees constitute one of the strategic pillars of the BCP Group, their level of satisfaction with the service provided by the various Internal Providers - with direct relation and reflection on the quality of the guaranteed Customer service - is an important endogenous indicator to assess the Bank's effectiveness and perceived efficiency.
The opinion surveys were maintained regarding the satisfaction with the internal service among Employees who interact with other areas to perform their duties, in order to, as part of a continuous improvement policy, identify opportunities for improvement and optimisation of the processes and procedures in force.
In Portugal, the total value of 74.8 i.p. reflected a slight increase in satisfaction with the service provided by the Bank's internal suppliers, when compared with the previous year.
The BCP Group offers its Employees a series of corporate benefits, apart from those established in the applicable legislation.

In Portugal, 2014 was marked by the development and consolidation of the "Assessment of Experience" model, an innovative methodology where Customers assess their experience with the Bank, after its occurrence. Using NPS (Net Promoter Score) - difference in the percentage of Promoter Customers (who score 8 or 9, on a scale of 0 to 9) and the percentage of Detractor Customers (scoring between 0 and 5, on the same scale) - as a measurement for this assessment, the obtained results indicated that 65.0% of Mass Market Customers repurchase and recommend the Bank's service (promoters) and 13.3% are presented as brand detractors, reflecting a 51.7 NPS and a 8.8% improvement over 2013. In the Prestige segment, where 62.8% of Customers promote the Bank and 8.1% of Customers do not recommend it, NPS is 54.8, which represents an increase of 12.7 points compared to the previous year. Over 150,000 Customers were surveyed.
In order to strengthen the measurement of satisfaction and loyalty in the various Customer segments, Millennium bcp continued to monitor various market studies carried out by specialised companies, so as to obtain indicators to position the Bank in the sector and assess, in an evolutionary way, market perception with regard to quality of the service provided, the Bank's image and the products and services it sells.
In the international activity, Customer overall satisfaction levels with the Bank recorded a value of 79 index points (i.p.), influenced by the upturn recorded in Mozambique, which shifted from 71 to 75 i.p.
Poland, with 83 i.p. of overall satisfaction, saw Internet banking and Mobile banking channels reach 91 i.p. of positive rating in 2014.

Information not available for Angola in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
In Angola, focus has continued on "Mystery Shopping" actions, which included visits to Branches of Private and Enterprise networks in which attributes related to treatment were especially valued.
In Portugal, the total number of complaints, 24,690, continued in line with the previous year. The majority, 87%, are claims related to current account movements, card transactions and automatic services. The Bank has shown constant concern to boost the swift settlement of complaints, and has managed to ensure an average settlement period of 6 business days.
Regarding international activity: i) Poland recorded 2.3% fewer complaints than in the previous year, 60% of which were related to card transactions and current accounts; ii) in Mozambique, complaints decreased by 4.9%, with cards and current accounts being the most frequently mentioned themes; iii) in Angola, the number of complaints grew by 40.6%, where this increase was explained by the growing level of Customer demands. The issues most raised in these claims were related to cards, banking products and bank withdrawals.
The average resolution time recorded was 11, 7 and 27 working days in Poland, Mozambique and Angola, respectively.

The BCP Group considers that respect for the defined mission and values, combined with compliance with its approved strategy, depends, first of all, on each Employee. Hence, the Group encourages a culture of rigour and responsibility, supported by mechanisms for the dissemination of information, training and monitoring, so as to ensure strict compliance with the defined rules of conduct.
In this context, the implementation of specific training activities and the monitoring of the Compliance Office teams has been a constant feature. Thus, performance and operating in different business areas enabled the training, in Portugal, of 1,035 employees in various topics related to the activity of the Compliance Office, focusing on the Employees' awareness of the need to adopt a professional conduct and behaviour in accordance with a culture of ethics and rigour when performing daily duties. Endowing the Employees with skills for the execution 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, continues to be part of the Group's activities plan.

The adequacy and efficacy of the Bank's internal control system as a whole and the efficacy of the risk identification and management processes and governance of the Bank and Group continued to be assured through audit programmes which include the analysis of behavioural matters, compliance with legislation, other regulations and codes of conduct, correct use of delegated competence and respect for all other principles of action in force, in relations with external and internal Customers.
Relations of cooperation and loyalty have also been maintained with the judicial authorities and with national and international conduct supervisory authorities. In this regard,
and acting on its own initiative, a total of 249 communications were sent to local Judicial Entities and 756 requests were answered.
Millennium bcp offers a complete and broad range of financial products and services, and continues, under the development of its responsible business lines, to offer products and services which incorporate social principles and respect for the environment.
In Portugal, Millennium bcp Microcredit continues to be recognised as an

alternative for the funding and feasibility of entrepreneurial action, having approved 349 new operations, which granted the total credit of 3,967 thousand euros and helped to create 589 jobs. The volume of loans granted to the 1,017 operations in portfolio stood at 11,121 million euros, corresponding to principal of 7,928 million euros.
With the objective of continuing to support Customers in financial difficulties and prevent default, Millennium bcp maintained its focus on the stimulation and applicability of SAF packages (Financial Follow-up Service). In this context, 42,523 contractual amendments were made during 2014 (15,043 mortgage loans and 27,480 consumer credit), with a restructuring value of 1,065 million euros (963 mortgage loans and 102 consumer credit).
In the context of the Entities that make up the social sector, Millennium bcp has kept the Non-Profit Associations Account available, a current account with special conditions, which does not require a minimum opening amount and is exempt from maintenance and overdraft commissions. 359 accounts with these features were opened, which already corresponds to a total of 2,458 accounts in the Bank's portfolio.
As for students who wished to pursue their academic path, in 2014, under the University Credit Line with Mutual Guarantee - credit line with very favourable interest rate conditions that may be reduced, since they are indexed to the students' performance - the Bank granted 84 new loans, amounting to 926 thousand euros. The volume of credit granted to the 1,149 operations in the portfolio totalled 10,959 million euros.
A cooperation protocol between American Express and Ajuda de Berço was signed, within a credit card activation campaign issued by Millennium bcp in which 1 euro was donated to Ajuda de Berço for each activated card, besides reinforcing the possibility of cardholders with Membership Rewards programme to use the points accumulated through the donations to this institution. This action raised 18,484 euros.

Also in Portugal, the Bank has continued to reinforce its support to companies through agreed credit facilities, adjusted to the specificities of the sector and economy, in particular:
In Poland, the WWF Millennium MasterCard credit card, available to Customers since 2008, takes up an environmental commitment. For each subscribed card, the Bank transfers to WWF Poland (World Wide Fund For Nature) half of the first annuity and a percentage of each transaction made.
Under Angola Invest Programme, Banco Millennium Angola's offer included subsidised credit product for Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MPME) and Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Individual Entrepreneurs (MPMES), under which 78 operations were approved.
The BCP Group meets the needs of Investors that are considered to cover, in its investments, social and environmental risk factors, placing Responsible Investment Funds at their disposal for subscription:
The BCP Group's strategy aims to foster a culture of social responsibility, developing actions for various groups of Stakeholders with the objective of contributing directly or indirectly to the social development of the countries in which it operates. And it is in this context, of proximity to the community, that its policy of social responsibility has materialised, preferably focusing its intervention on cultural, educational and social initiatives.
In Portugal, Millennium bcp has continued to foster and create opportunities for the Employees' participation as volunteers in actions to support the external community:

As an important contribution to execute its Social Responsibility policy, the Bank has also encouraged and accompanied actions developed by several divisions in Portugal:
Millennium bcp also secured a number of initiatives to support institutions and initiatives able to add social value, such as:

In Poland, Bank Millennium continues to stimulate a significant series of actions, including:
In Mozambique, the Bank's social commitment is embodied in the "More Mozambique for Me" programme, which continued to focus on projects in the area of health, education, culture, children and youth sports, and community development:

the final were those who, from among the 400 participants who took the written test, had the best results.
Road Safety Campaign - conducted in partnership with the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) and Impar – Seguradora Internacional, involving lectures given by PRM officers to 2,500 children of 20 schools.
Banco Millennium Angola also supported initiatives in the area of Culture and Social Responsibility, prioritising actions involving the participation of Employees, in particular:
The Foundation's guidelines have progressively considered a growing concentration of activity in the areas of Culture, Education and Charitable Work. In 2014, based on a strategy of patronage support, it strengthened its attention to the geographic distribution of the granted support, with a view to its decentralisation.
In the context of Culture, the Foundation has focused on initiatives of Conservation and Dissemination of the Bank's heritage, namely:

with EGEAC as part of Lisbon Festivities, which received 20,008 visitors; v) Júlio Pomar - Works from the Millennium bcp Collection, received over 6,300 visitors.
Travelling exhibition project - Shared Art –: i) Naturalist Painting in the Millennium bcp Collection, in Viseu – Grão Vasco Museum and in Caldas da Rainha - Cultural Congress Centre (2,806 visitors); ii) Abstraction, Millennium bcp Shared Art in City Hall at the Municipal Gallery of Torres Vedras; iii) "Poetry is on the Streets", organised in collaboration with Arpad Szenes-Vieira da Silva Foundation and Porto City Hall, displayed in Almeida Garrett Gallery, in Porto.
To support projects for the modernisation of important national museums and promote museum activities and other cultural activities, in particular:
The Foundation endeavours to collaborate in educational and scientific research projects which promote an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit in the training of new and current generations, among the different assistance granted:

At Millennium bcp, the Supplier selection process follows criteria of overall competence of the company, functionality, quality 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 88%.
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.
Millennium bcp has pursued an increasingly responsible business in the management of its environmental aspects and impacts, and therefore maintained its investment in minimising its ecological footprint by promoting the adoption of good practices in terms of energy consumption, gas emissions with greenhouse effect and consumption of natural resources. The Bank promotes eco-efficiency by investing in two priority areas:
In order to promote efficiency, 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, enhancing the satisfaction of the Bank's Customers and ensuring service efficiency. The Bank implements its strategic guidelines for sustainability across the countries where it operates.
In Portugal, during 2014 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 2,626 MWh, corresponding to an estimated reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 21,115 tCO2eq.
The focus on the "Be Lean DO" programme was strengthened, through the expansion of the Financial Operations Department and Human Resources Division. This programme, created in 2010, aims to promote operating excellence and disseminate a culture of continuous improvement (Lean) in the organisation.
Regarding the consumption of materials, the Bank continued to invest in the dematerialisation of documents, being account statements in digital format the best example of this strategy.
In Poland, energy and water were the areas that received most investment. In 2014, various initiatives to reduce the consumption of these resources were implemented, including:
In terms of material consumption, the Bank maintains the "8 in 1" initiative, 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 processes. The Internet banking channel also offers customers online services and supporting documents. For new customers, the option for digital bank statement is assumed by default.
With regard to waste management, the Bank follows environmental regulations (Waste Act), which requires the bank to properly manage waste, through a set of protocols (Acceptance Protocols, Protocols of Confirmed Utilisation, Waste Transfer Card), as well as obligation to submit specifications regarding waste types and volumes at local offices.
In Angola and Mozambique, the focus on the increasing use of digital bank statement remained, as well as the implementation of video conferencing practices to reduce the number of trips.
The environmental awareness raising of the Employees is assumed by the Bank as a very important aspect, since part of the Bank's environmental impacts in terms of energy, water and material consumption depends essentially on change of behaviour.
In Portugal, the awareness of the Employees has been heightened concerning the importance of the adoption of more responsible conduct towards the environment through regular publication of environmental content in internal communication platforms.
In terms of environmental management, on the International Energy Day Millennium bcp launched an internal campaign to reduce consumption, in particular electricity, water and paper, aimed at sharing information about what has been done to make the management of these resources more efficient, and also to encourage the adoption of behavioural practices to streamline their use.
In Poland, the Bank maintained its participation in the Earth Hour, environmental action promote by WWF. As part of this campaign, the lighting and billboards are turned off for one hour, both at branches and the central buildings. The purpose of this event is to attract attention to human impact on the environment and, accordingly, Customers and Employees are invited to participate in the event.
BCP Group regularly monitors a series of environmental performance indicators which measure the Bank's efficiency with regard to its main consumption of resources (1). As a whole, the Bank's ecoefficiency level has improved, as a result of the continuous investment in new equipment, optimisation of processes and change in the Employee behaviour. Although, in absolute terms, all indicators register an improvement - when the respective eco-efficiency indicator is analysed -, for both energy and water, there is a slight relative increase. This fact is justified by the reduction in the total number of Employees and the consequent increase in the consumption ratio per employee.
The majority of the Bank's energy consumption derives from indirect sources (electric and thermal), which represented, in 2014, 55% of Millennium's power needs. The consumption of indirect and direct energy decreased by 32% and 14%, respectively, compared to 2013, where the majority of these reductions occurred through lower consumption of direct energy in Portugal, by 10%, and in Mozambique, through the decrease of indirect energy by 60%. These figures are the result of energy efficiency measures implemented and the closure of 67 branches.

BCP Group, 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 35% in relation to 2013. Scope 1 emissions fell by 14%, reflecting the 14% reduction observed in direct energy consumption. Scope 2 emissions fell by 43%, due to the 32% reduction observed in indirect energy consumption.

The total water consumption of the BCP Group grew 49% in comparison with the previous year, due to the increase in Mozambique. In 2014, the BCP Group reduced its consumption of the main materials (paper and cardboard, plastic, ink cartridges and toners) by 5% in relation to 2013, due to the optimisation 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 5% relative to 2013, influenced by the dematerialisation measures implemented in all geographic regions, which led to considerable reductions in Mozambique (60%) and Poland (11%).

(1)The data pertaining to 2014 do not contain the figures relating to the operation of Romania, which came out of the scope of consolidation of the Bank in 2014, which can affect comparability.
Further details on the information reported in this chapter (Responsible Business), in particular calculation criteria, the table of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicators and correspondence with the Global Compact Principles, are available for viewing on the Bank's Institutional website, at www.millenniumbcp.pt in the Sustainability area.
The year of 2014 was positive overall for world equity markets, in spite of some divergent performance in Europe.
In Europe, the asset purchase plan of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the cut in the euro zone reference rate to historical lows of 0.05%, with the main objective of reviving inflation, had a positive effect on capital market performance, boosting the confidence of investors.
The year of 2014 was marked by the departure of the troika from Portugal and by the successful return of the country to the markets, with national sovereign interest rates reaching record lows and debt securities being among the most profitable in the world. Nonetheless, the PSI 20, the national reference index, registered a negative performance, falling 26.8%.

BCP shares finished the year with a depreciation of 32%, with share performance having been characterised by various phases. Between January and early April there was a significant increase in the share price, following the improvement of the macroeconomic environment in Portugal. On 19 February, the Bank returned to the debt placement markets, having issued 500 million euros of senior debt. May was a less positive month for BCP shares, with the positive impact of the exit from the economic and financial adjustment programme and the approval by the Council of Ministers of the draft law on deferred tax assets having been off set by the effect of the rumours concerning a possible future capital increase, resulting in a correction of previously recorded gains. At the end of June, with the announcement of the Bank's capital increase, BCP shares rose significantly and initiated the month of July reflecting the positive effect associated to their integration in the MSCI index. Performance during July was quite negative, penalised by the crisis in the Espírito Santo Financial Group and in Banco Espírito Santo, which led to a general sell-off of Portuguese shares. Early August was still heavily penalised by the uncertainty surrounding the Resolution Fund, in spite of this effect having been offset by the early repayment of 1,850 million euros of hybrid equity instruments. In September, the ECB announced that it was going to initiate an asset purchasing programme. The last quarter was quite negative for BCP shares, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the start of the ECB's asset purchasing programme, expectations relative to the disclosure of the results of the AQR/Stress Test and the negative effects of a series of macroeconomic factors, with emphasis on the IMF cutting its estimates for world growth, and in particular for the euro zone, the spectre of deflation, the non-regulatory equivalence of Angola and the political instability in Greece.
BCP shares were the most traded shares on the Portuguese market and in the national financial sector in 2014, with a significant increase in liquidity. Approximately 78,521 million shares were traded, representing an increase of 129% in relation to the previous year and corresponding to an average daily volume of 308 million shares (134 million in 2013). The capital turnover index continued to be very high, corresponding to 318% of the annual average number of issued shares.
BCP shares are listed in over 50 national and international stock market indices, among which the following are noteworthy: Euronext PSI Financial, PSI 20, Euronext 150, NYSE Euronext Iberian and Euro Stoxx Banks. In addition, at the end of 2014, Millennium bcp was also included in Sustainability Indexes. In the context of the evaluation made by ESG Analyst (Environmental, Social & Governance) - Vigeo – the European leader for the evaluation of sustainability and social responsibility: i) BCP was included in "Euronext Vigeo Europe 120", "Euronext Eurozone Vigeo 120" and "Ethibel Excellence Europe" indexes, with the former two including the 120 European companies with the best performance in sustainability matters (200 for the latter); ii) was part of the "Ethibel EXCELLENCE Investment Register", a recognition that reflects BCP's high performance in terms of sustainability. The Bank was also part of the "STOXX Europe Sustainability" and "EURO STOXX Sustainability" indexes, as a result of the evaluation by ESG - Sustainalytics – a reference multinational analyst under the context of sustainable development.

The following graph illustrates the performance of BCP shares during 2014:

Pursuant to the conditions of the issue of Core Tier I Capital Instruments underwritten by the State, under Law number 63-A/2008 and Implementing Order number 150-A/2012, the Bank cannot distribute dividends until the issue is fully reimbursed.
As announced in the capital increase operation carried out in July 2014, the Bank intends to create the conditions to accelerate its return to normal conditions, which involves the distribution of dividends.
The very positive evolution of the Bank's results and the increased confidence in its capacity to implement the Strategic Plan contributed to the overall improvement of the perception of analysts from the main national and foreign investment analysts that monitored the BCP share price in 2014: at the end of the year, the buy and neutral recommendations represented 87% of total recommendations (64% at the end of 2013), while the average of price targets stood at 11 cents (8 cents at the end of the previous year). As at 31 December 2014, all the recommendations and price targets stood at more favourable or identical levels than those registered at the end of 2013.
Over the reference period, the Bank participated in various events, having attended 13 conferences and 10 roadshows in Europe and the USA, where it made institutional presentations and held one-on-one meetings with investors. More than 500 meetings were held with analysts and institutional investors in 2014, which continues to demonstrate the significant increase in interest shown by investors in relation to the Bank.
As at 31 December 2014, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. did not hold any treasury shares and no treasury shares were purchased or sold during 2014. However, pursuant to IAS 39, 24,280,365 shares (76,664,387 shares as at 31 December 2013) held by Customers, whose acquisition was financed by the Bank and regarding which there is evidence of impairment, are considered treasury shares and registered under this heading for book-keeping purposes.
According to information from Interbolsa, as at 31 December 2014 the number of Shareholders of Banco Comercial Português totalled 189,805. The Bank's Shareholder structure continues to be extremely scattered, with only six Shareholders with qualified holdings (over 2% of the share capital) and only two Shareholders with a stake above 5%. Particular reference should also be made to the increased weight of companies, which accounted for 40.24% of the share capital at the end of 2014 (36.61% at the end of 2013).

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the rate of expansion of global economic activity in 2014 remained at 3.4%, which is below historical standards and, in addition, masks significant differences between the major world economies. While the North American economy has shown renewed vigour, the main Member States of the euro zone have registered very moderate growth levels and emerging markets have slowed once again.
In the euro zone, in spite of the fall in interest ra tes to record levels and the significant depreciation of the euro, credit and investment did not take off, private consumption stagnated and unemployment remained at high levels. The consequent anaemic growth of the EMU countries in 2014 (0.9%) represented, nonetheless, an improvement relative to the contraction observed in the two preceding years. Economic fragility, alongside worsening deflationary pressures, favoured an intensification of the degree of monetary policy accommodation by the European Central Bank


(ECB). In 2015, the recovery path of the euro zone is expected to continue at a moderate pace, penalised by the lack of buoyant investment and weak foreign demand, from emerging markets in particular.
In the US, the rise in employment and consumer confidence favoured the expansion of private consumption and investment, which translated into an acceleration of GDP from 2.2% to 2.4% in 2014. In this context of improvement of economic conditions, the US Federal Reserve decided to terminate its asset purchase programme at the end of 2014. In 2015, the North American economy is expected to accelerate once again, supported by domestic demand, which will benefit from the current context of falling oil prices and the expected maintenance of the general expansionary trend of monetary and fiscal policies. This expectation may, however, be offset by the adverse effects of the appreciation of the dollar on the evolution of external demand and the stability of financial markets.
The Chinese economy further decelerated in 2014 as a result of the loss of competitiveness of its export sector, as well as the greater rationalisation of the supply of credit and the consequent decline in the intensity of public and private investment, particularly in the construction sector. For 2015, the IMF forecasts a further slowdown of economic activity, mainly due to the continued restrictions on investment and also to the loss of vigour of the economies in the Southeast Asian region.
In 2015, the challenges facing the global economy are many and varied. The significant fall in oil prices can either have a positive net impact, due to the stimulus to aggregate demand at a global level, or trigger a correction in financial markets, whose exposure to the energy sector is significant. On the other hand, the desynchronisation between the monetary policy of the US and of the other major world economies entails the risk of pronounced movements in the foreign exchange market, with potentially adverse consequences for the global financial system. Finally, the prevalence of various areas of geopolitical tension constitutes a risk that is difficult to quantify, but of no less importance.
The performance of financial markets in 2014 was characterised by an extension of the appreciation trend of most asset classes, although in a more volatile environment, presumably justified by the switch to a less expansionary monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve. The North American key stock indices appreciated by around 15%, about 10 percentage points above the analogous European indices.
In the debt markets, the worldwide inflationreducing process, combined with the maintenance of high levels of liquidity provided by the major central banks, resulted in a general decline in the yields on public and private debt securities perceived as more secure. In the euro zone, sovereign debt risk premiums continued to fall, in a context of investor confidence in the economic and financial recovery of the countries that benefited from financial assistance, as well as expectations surrounding the ECB's implementation of a sovereign debt purchase

programme. In addition, the reduction of the key ECB interest rates to historical lows led to a compression of the indexing interest rates of the euro to extremely low or even negative levels for the shortest maturities, an evolution which also contributed to the depreciation of the euro, particularly against the dollar.

Following three years of a consecutive slowdown, the Portuguese economy grew 0.9% in 2014, driven by the improvement in private consumption and investment, alongside the growth of exports. The recovery of economic activity and the fulfilment of the objectives defined in the Memorandum of Understanding of the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme (PAEF) signed in 2011 enabled the Portuguese State to resume funding in the international financial markets, thereby concluding the PAEF successfully in June 2014, as scheduled.
In 2015, the recovery trend of economic activity should continue to be driven by domestic demand, which is expected to benefit from the increase in employment and disposable income, the fall in oil prices and the downward trend in interest rates on bank loans. However, the risk of increased lack of definition in European economic policy, associated to the emergence of new political frameworks in several countries, and the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the national parliamentary elections scheduled for October 2015, may hamper the economic recovery and jeopardise the trend towards an

improvement of the funding conditions of Portuguese companies and households.
In 2014, the profitability of the banking sector remained under pressure due to low interest rates, with an adverse impact on net interest income, the cost of risk and the increase in credit risk coverage levels, partially explained by the Comprehensive Assessment exercise conducted by the ECB within the scope of the implementation of the Single Supervisory Mechanism.
The application of the resolution measure to Banco Espírito Santo constituted a significant disruption to the banking system, with implications in terms of business evolution, the redefinition of the competitive context and the confidence of investors and customers, whose developments may condition the future performance of the Portuguese banking sector.
The main challenge of the banking sector for 2015 involves the improvement of profitability, whose success depends on the recovery of the Portuguese economy and the relationship between the cost of risk and the net interest income margin, in a context of implementation of new regulatory requirements within the scope of the Banking Union, which will continue to determine new approaches and the repositioning of banks within the business.
In 2014, the real GDP in Poland grew 3.3%, which corresponds to a sharp acceleration of economic activity, due to greater dynamism in private consumption, underpinned by the increase in employment and real salaries, and the expansion of investment, alongside the robustness of exports. These factors mitigated the adverse effects arising from the geopolitical tensions between the Ukraine and Russia. The worsening of deflationary pressures, due to the fall in energy and food prices, led to a more accommodative monetary policy stance, which was reflected in the depreciation of the zloty. Similarly to 2014, for 2015, the IMF forecasts that the Polish economy will continue to show strong dynamism, benefitting from the resilience of its domestic demand, which is expected to offset the risks of any slowdown in external demand, particularly of its European Union partners and Russia.
The estimates available suggest that in 2014 the Mozambican economy continued to grow at levels around 7.4%, in a context of remarkable macroeconomic solidity, reflected in effective exchange rate stability and the decline in the inflation rate to levels close to 2%, comfortably below the 5%-6% level established by the central bank. However, the harsh floods that hit the country in January 2015 led to a decline in the agricultural production, which caused a reduction in employment and also an increase in food prices thereby constraining the purchasing power of households and, consequently, hindering the evolution of the domestic demand. As a result, the pace of growth of the Mozambican economy should slow down in 2015. Additionally, the changes in the public investment policies brought about by the need to rebuild the damaged infrastructures should temporarily affect the development of megaprojects that are crucial to the economic progress of Mozambique.
The adverse nature of the evolution of the Angolan oil sector over the course of 2014 had as a likely consequence a significant slowdown in GDP, whose growth rate the IMF estimates to have fallen from 6.8% in 2013 to 4.2% in 2014. In the first half of the year, the decline in oil production associated to technical issues may have affected exports and private investment, while the very pronounced fall in international oil prices in the second half of the year, implying a sharp decrease in tax revenue, may have restricted public investment and final consumption. This scenario fostered a depreciation of the kwanza and a rise in inflation, which nonetheless remained below 10%. The predominance of oil in the economy implies that 2015 may be a challenging year at the macroeconomic level if the price of crude remains at materially lower levels than those registered in 2014, a scenario that the government has already begun to prepare for through the implementation of monetary and fiscal measures that ensure financial stability and, at the same time, limit the negative impact of the fall in oil prices on aggregate demand.

In May 2014, Portugal concluded the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme (PAEF). Its implementation resulted in a number of significant adjustments to the Portuguese economy, namely at the level of fiscal consolidation and deleveraging of the non-financial private sector, with a significant impact on the deleveraging of the banking sector and on the correction of the unbalances of the external accounts.
The international framework of the Portuguese economy, characterised by moderate growth of the major economies and low inflation rates, led the key monetary authorities to maintain accommodative policies, reducing the reference interest rates to very low levels and, in some cases, to negative levels, which should gradually pass on to Euribor rates. At the same time, there has been a compression of risk premiums, namely the reduction of the spreads of government bonds relative to German government bonds, which has favoured the countries under pressure in the euro zone. This framework has also contributed to the appreciation of the fixed-income debt securities portfolios, particularly affected during the most critical period of the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone.
In Portugal and in spite of the recent pick-up in economic activity and the improvement of labour market conditions, the low GDP growth rates, in addition to low levels of inflation, represent a challenge to the activity and profitability of the financial sector. In addition to the low economic growth environment, the maintenance of high levels of debt of the private and public sectors also affects the economic recovery.
Credit granted by BCP may continue to diminish or at least stabilise following its contraction over the last few years, in a context of deleveraging of the non-financial sectors of the economy, resulting in a fall in demand for credit. At the same time, deposits should continue to increase, associated with 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 funds, thus reducing access to ECB funding and to WSF markets and improving BCP's liquidity position.
The maintenance of interest rates in money markets at very low levels has contributed to the narrowing of the spread on term deposits of Portuguese banks, a trend that is likely to continue in 2015, more than offsetting a possible reduction of credit spreads. BCP is also expected to increase net interest income as a result of (i) lower costs supported by CoCos (after having repaid 2.25 million euros in 2014), and (ii) less impact on the margin of liability management operations carried out in 2011 and which consisted in the repurchase of own debt with the objective of generating gains and thus strengthening its capital and the issue of new debt at a higher cost than the repaid debt. An automatic saving in commissions paid will also be registered, associated to the full repayment of the debt issued guaranteed by the State.
In 2015, regulatory contributions are expected to increase relative to 2014, since under the new European regulation (transposition of the European directive to the implementation of the single resolution fund) it is estimated that the total amount for the payment of the resolution fund will increase via the application of a new methodology, more than offsetting the expected reduction in contribution towards the Deposit Guarantee Fund (change in methodology).
The expected improvement on core income and the continuation of restructuring effort and cost contention should translate into positive signs, which will be reflected in the improvement of results for 2015, although constrained by the economic environment. Therefore, in 2015, is expected a progressive reduction of the cost of risk, as new entries into overdue credit, net of recoveries, decline, implying lower credit impairment charges.
The high exposure of financial institutions to real estate assets represents an additional risk and has resulted in a permanent monitoring of the portfolios of the banking sector, through regular and comprehensive inspections and an adequate recording of impairments, in line with the actions that have been developed by the Banco de Portugal since 2011, and with the more recent exercise undertaken by the ECB, within the context of the creation of the Single Supervisory Mechanism. However, in spite of the signs of recovery in the real estate market and the evidence pointing to stability or even appreciation of residential real estate asset prices, a possible fall in prices cannot be excluded.
It is not yet possible to determine the possible impact that the resolution for BES may have on BCP, as a participating institution of the resolution fund created by Decree-Law number 31-A/2012, of 10 February (the Resolution Fund). BCP holds a position corresponding to approximately 20% of the Resolution Fund, which, in turn, has an exposure of about 4.9 billion euros to Novo Banco (3.9 billion
euros financed by a State loan, in addition to about 0.7 billion euros obtained via loans from various banks and about 0.3 billion euros which were already in the Resolution Fund).
The financial resources of the Resolution Fund can come from initial or regular contributions from the participating institutions, the product of the contributions from the banking sector introduced by Law number 55-A/2010, of 31 December, and also income from financial investments. In addition, resources may also be obtained through special contributions from participating institutions, or even guarantees from participating institutions and loans or guarantees from the State.
In this context, the impact that the resolution for BES may have on BCP as a participating institution of the Resolution Fund will depend on external factors that are non controllable by the Bank, including the value that Novo Banco will be sold for and the mode or modes that are to be adopted regarding the means of coverage of any funding needs of the Resolution Fund. In addition, even in the case of funding of the Resolution Fund through regular and/or special contributions of the participants, these contributions may be made over a period of time that has not yet been defined.
The supervision of the financial system and the solvency of credit institutions have been reinforced and the transition to the new regulatory requirements also poses important challenges to European banks. In this regard, the supervisor shows a preference for the reinforcement of bank's capitalisation levels, and in some cases recommends that minimum levels of regulatory capital be achieved.
The year of 2014 marked the start of the transition to a new supervisory regime. In May 2014, with the objective of ensuring an adequate transition until the full application of CRD IV / CRR and to prepare the main Portuguese banks for the AQR, the Bank of Portugal issued a number of recommendations on banks' capital plans.
On 24 October, Decree-Law 157/2014 was published, which transposed CRD IV ("Decree-Law 157/2014") into Portuguese law. Most amendments were incorporated in the RGICSF, and entered into force on 24 November 2014.
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 profitably and sustainably, so as to provide an attractive return to Shareholders, in a manner that supports and strengthens its strategic autonomy and corporate identity.
In September 2012, BCP presented a new Strategic Plan, comprising three phases, to be implemented by 2017 (Strategic Plan). The Strategic Plan was also updated in September 2013, following the approval of BCP's Restructuring Plan by the EC and in June 2014, following the recently concluded capital increase operation, its targets were updated.
The three phases of the Strategic Plan are the following:
Phase 1 (2012 to 2013) Define the foundations for sustainable future development
During the first phase of the Strategic Plan, the key priority consisted in reinforcing the balance sheet by reducing the dependence of funding on the wholesale market and increasing regulatory capital ratios.
During the second phase of the Strategic Plan, the focus is on the recovery of profitability of the Bank's domestic operations, combined with the continued development of the international subsidiaries in Poland, Mozambique and Angola. The improvement in domestic profitability is expected to be mainly driven by: i) the increase in net interest income by reducing the cost of deposits and changing the credit mix, with a focus on products with better margins; ii) the continued focus on the optimisation of operating costs by reducing the number of employees and eliminating administrative overlapping; and iii) the adoption of rigorous credit risk limits thus reducing the need for provisions.
During the third phase, the management will focus on achieving a sustained growth of net income, benefiting from the successful implementation of the first two phases of the Strategic Plan, a better balance between the contributions of the domestic and international operations towards profitability and the conclusion of the winding down /divestment process of the Bank's non-core portfolio.
For 2015, the Executive Committee defined a new set of strategic priorities whose objective is the construction of a sustainable Bank adapted to the new needs of the market and of Customers. To this end, it defined 5 pillars which include various initiatives to be developed in order to achieve that objective, namely:
In 2014, Millennium bcp proceeded with the implementation of the Annual Liquidity Plan, based on the control of financing requirements, through an active and optimised management of collateral eligible for discount with the European Cental Bank and in the follow-up and identification of opportunities offered by the wholesale funding market.
The decrease of funding needs in 2014 was, above all, due to the evolution of the commercial gap in Portugal, measured by the difference between net credit and balance sheet customer funds, which decreased by 3.9 billion euros in 2014, and the reduction of the Portuguese sovereign debt portfolio which decreased by 1.2 billion euros in 2014, reaching 4.7 billion euros.
Concerning the funding structure, the capital increase operation undertaken in the third quarter of 2014 to raise 2.249 billion euros enabled the early repayment of the hybrid instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State by 2.25 billion euros, above the objective of 400 million euros set out in the Liquidity Plan.
In 2014, including the repayment of CoCos, 5.3 billion euros of medium-long term debt was repaid in 2014, above the annual estimated total of 3.4 billion euros. On the other hand, market conditions enabled the Bank to return to the wholesale funding market earlier (in February), through the issue of 3-year senior debt of 500 million euros, scheduled only for the third quarter of 2014. In compliance with the Liquidity Plan, the Bank has fully endeavoured to diversify its funding sources, in particular through short-term loans contracted with international financial institutions and collaterised by securities, whose balance in Portugal reached 1.9 billion euros, 1.7 billion euros more than at the end of 2013.
In 2014, the combined effect of the refinancing of the medium-long term debt, reductions of the commercial gap, decrease of the sovereign debt portfolio, the share capital increase, the issue of senior debt and the added recourse to other sources of funding led to a reduction of 3.3 billion euros in the net financing from the Eurosystem, having decreased from 10.0 billion euros as at 31 December 2013 to 6.6 billion euros at the end of 2014. This decrease involved, over the course of the year, the early repayment at the ECB of additional tranches of the medium term liquidity assignment operations totalling 7 billion euros (of an initial total of 12 billion euros in 2012), reducing the balance to 4 billion euros. The total repaid was partially refinanced, in December 2014, through funds of 1.5 billion euros within the framework of targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTROs) promoted by the ECB.
As part of the management of the portfolio of eligible collateral at the Eurosystem, involving the optimised allocation of the various categories of available assets, two securitisation operations were cancelled and the underlying assets were reallocated to the monetary policy pool in the form of additional credit rights during the first quarter of 2014. At the same time, a new mechanism for selecting bank loans was implemented, aimed at its incorporation in the pool and the terms and conditions of an issue of mortgage bonds retained in the balance sheet were adjusted. In relation to additional credit rights, the Bank of Portugal accepted the application of IRB models to credit portfolios, with a consequent reduction of the applicable haircuts.
At the end of 2014, the volume of assets eligible for discount at the ECB reached 14.2 billion euros, enabling the maintenance of the liquidity buffer at a comfortable level of 7.6 billion euros, even after the early repayment of all the own issues with State guarantee in the value of 3.2 billion euros after haircuts.
On 26 June 2013, the European Parliament and Council approved Directive 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 (Capital Requirements Directive IV / Capital Requirements Regulation - CRD IV/CRR), transposed to Portuguese law through decree-law no. 157/2014 of 24 October, that established new and more demanding capital requirements for credit institutions, with effects as from 1 January 2014.
These stricter requirements result from a narrower definition of the instruments and elements that constitute own funds and from changes in weights related to certain assets, together with the establishment of minimum ratios, including a capital conservation buffer, of 7% for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), 8.5% for Tier 1 and 10.5% for Total Capital. The CRD IV/CRR also stipulates a transitional period (phased-in) in which institutions may accommodate the new requirements, both in terms of own funds and compliance with minimum capital ratios.
Nevertheless, Bank of Portugal, through Notice no. 6/2013 of 23 December, stipulated the obligation to ensure the maintenance of a CET1 ratio not lower than 7%, determining the adoption of capital conservation measures whenever such minimum is not complied with. Given that as of 31 December 2013, capital ratios were calculated based on the rules set out by Banco of Portugal under Basel II regulatory framework, the capital ratios as at 2013 and 2014 year-end are not on a comparable basis.
As of 31 December of 2013 and of 2014, methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk were used, covering a substantial part of the retail portfolio in Portugal and Poland and of the corporate portfolio in the activity in Portugal. For the purpose of general risk coverage, the advanced method was used (internal model) while for operational risk coverage the standard method was applied.

(1) Excluding exposures derived from the simplified rating system, which are weighted by the Standardised approach.
(2) For exposures in the perimeter managed centrally from Portugal; for all the other exposures the only approach applied is the Standardised method.
(3) The adoption of the Standard method of operational risk was authorised in 2009 for application on a consolidated basis.
CET1 ratio, calculated in accordance with CRD IV/CRR was 12.0% as at 31 December 2014, having the core tier I ratio, calculated in accordance with Bank of Portugal rules, reached 13.8% as at 31 December 2013, both above the respective minimum required thresholds.
According to the new rules on the calculation date, the estimated impact of the transition to CRD IV/CRR rules on 1 January 2014 was negative in 152 basis points, setting CTE1 ratio at 12,2%, to which contributed the CET1 reduction of 477 million euros and the increase of 1.574 million euros in risk weighted assets. The decrease of CET1 was due to the adoption of phased-in rules, namely related with the deduction of the shortfall of impairment and expected losses, and with the eligibility of minority interests and of the pension fund corridor. The increase in risk weighted assets resulted from the weighing of deferred tax assets associated to temporary differences and significant financial investments not deducted to CET1 and CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustments), notwithstanding the favourable weight applied to small and medium enterprises loans.
Additionally, the following effects determined CET1's evolution from 12.2% as at 1 January 2014 to 12.0% as at 31 December of 2014:

The consolidated Financial Statements were prepared under the terms of Regulation (EC) 1606/2002, of 19 July, and in accordance with the reporting model determined by Banco de Portugal (Banco de Portugal Notice 1/2005), following the transposition into Portuguese law of Directive 2003/51/EC, of 18 June, of the European Parliament and of the Council in the versions currently in force.
The consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable between 2014, 2013 and 2012, as a result of the divestment of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, concluded on 19 June 2013, and of Millennium bank in Romania, whose agreement was announced on 30 July 2014 and the process was concluded on 8 January 2015. With these operations, Millennium bcp eliminated the exposure to the Greek and Romanian markets, at an earlier time than had been established, with a favourable impact on the profitability and capital indicators, reflecting the focus on the fulfilment of the objectives defined in the Group's Strategic Plan, in particular on the creation of growth and profitability conditions.
Under the divestment process of all of the shareholdings held in the share capital of Millennium bank in Greece and Millennium bank in Romania, and pursuant to IFRS 5, Millennium bank in Greece and Millennium bank in Romania were classified as discontinued operations, with the impact of these operations being presented on a separate line item in the income statement, as at 31 December 2013 and 2014, under "discontinued operations". In this context, the income statement as at 31 December 2012 was restated, for comparative purposes.
Following the divestment of those subsidiaries, regarding the consolidated balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Greece were not considered as at 31 December 2014, whilst the assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Romania, considering that the sale operation took place during the preparation of the financial statements of 2014, were not considered as at 31 December 2014, since the conditions for their derecognition were met.
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 implementation of a new approach in the investment fund management business, the activity of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos has also been presented under the line of "discontinued operations". The income statement as at 31 December 2012 has been restated, for comparative purposes, and the consolidated balance sheet has not been altered in view of the criteria considered in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2012.
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 are also presented on a comparable basis, i.e., excluding the operations under discontinuation - Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos.
The evolution of Millennium bcp's activity in 2014 was characterised by the strengthening of capital ratios and by the early repayment of hybrid financial instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State (CoCos), in a total of 2.25 billion euros, above the 400 million euros initially foreseen, as well as by the active and optimised management of the liquidity position, sustained by the follow-up of opportunities identified by the wholesale funding market and by the increase in customer deposits, enabling the reduction of the commercial gap and the continuous improvement of the loan-to-deposit ratio. In addition, a positive evolution of the profitability and efficiency levels was registered in 2014, reflecting the continued implementation of measures directed at rationalising and reducing operating costs and increasing net operating revenues.
Total assets reached a total of 76,361 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 82,007 million euros as at 31 December 2013, mainly reflecting the contraction in loans and advances to customers and the contraction of the securities portfolio, in particular of financial assets available for sale, following the reduced exposure to Portuguese sovereign debt securities.
Loans to customers portfolio, before loan impairment and on a comparable basis, stood at 57,168 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 59,734 million euros as at 31 December 2013. This performance was influenced by the contraction of loans to companies and individuals, due to lower demand for credit, in spite of the implemented initiatives focusing on the presentation of integrated solutions of banking products and services, aimed at supporting growth, modernisation and internationalisation processes and the reinforcement of the competitive capacity, in particular, of projects and sectors of the Portuguese economy with higher productivity levels.
Total customer funds, on a comparable basis, totalled 64,739 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 64,261 million euros stated as at 31 December 2013. This evolution benefitted, on the one hand, from an increase in customer deposits, enabling a reduction of the commercial gap and an improvement of the loan-to-deposit ratio, and continued to be the main source of funding of the Group's activity, and on the other hand, from the growth of off-balance sheet funds, supported by the increase observed in assets under management.
The favourable evolution of net income for 2014, from -740 million euros in 2013 to -227 million euros in 2014, reflects the increase in net operating revenues and the reduction of operating costs given that impairments and provisions remained at broadly similar levels.
Millennium bcp's net income was negative by 227 million euros in 2014, comparing favourably with the negative net income of 740 million euros recorded in 2013, and reflects the increase in net operating revenues and the reduction in operating costs, in line with the strategic priorities defined in the Strategic Plan, aimed at creating profitability conditions and stabilising the level of impairments and provisions.
The performance of net income in 2014, when compared to 2013, benefited from the growth of net interest income, supported by the reduction of the cost of funding related to CoCos, due to the early repayment made during 2014, and by the reduction in the cost of customer deposits, underpinned by the consistent reduction in term deposit interest rates.
In addition, the evolution of net income was driven by the increase in net trading income, benefiting from the gains related to Portuguese sovereign debt securities of 225 million euros in 2014, net of taxes (48 million euros in 2013), as well as by the increase in other operating income, which includes the gain of 69 million euros associated with the divestment, in the second quarter of 2014, of all the shareholdings in associated companies that operated exclusively in the Non-Life business.
Net income in 2014 also benefitted from the reduction in operating costs, reflecting the implemented initiatives focused on the improvement of operational efficiency, in particular through the administrative size reduction and reorganisation, in addition to the increased simplification of processes. Nonetheless, net income for 2014 includes the same levels of impairment loss and provision charges, when compared to 2013, by reflecting the effect of the reinforcement of credit risk impairments associated with the Asset Quality Review (AQR).
Following the reduction in the corporate income tax (IRC) set down in the State Budget for 2015, the amount of deferred taxes assets was updated at the end of 2014, having a negative net impact on net income of 134 million euros.
The favourable performance of net income in 2014, when compared to 2013, benefited from the improvement in profitability in both the activity in

Income arising from discontinued operations
NET INCOME Activity in Portugal

Portugal and in the international activity, in line with the trends forecast in the Strategic Plan.
The favourable evolution of net income in the activity in Portugal reflected the increase in net operating revenues, benefiting from the growth of net interest income, net trading income and other operating income, on the one hand, and the reduction of operating costs, on the other, as a result of the initiatives that have been implemented within the scope of the restructuring programme initiated at the end of 2012, focused on increasing operational efficiency, in spite of the continued reinforcement of impairments and provisions.
The contribution of international activity to the consolidated net income for 2014 (excluding the impacts of the operations in Greece and Romania) increased by 13.1% relative to 2013, having benefited from the evolution of net income recorded by Bank Millennium in Poland, Banco Millennium Angola, Millennium bim in Mozambique, and Millennium Banque Privée in Switzerland, associated with the positive performance of the respective net operating revenues, driven by the growth of turnover.

Bank Millennium in Poland recorded a net income of 155 million euros in 2014, reflecting an increase of 22.1% from the 127 million euros recognised in 2013 (+21.5% in zlotys). This was driven by the favourable performance of net interest income, benefiting from an improvement in the cost of customer deposits, and commissions, in particular from investment products and from loans, which grew 19.2% and 3.9% respectively (in zlotys), in spite of the increase in other administrative costs, partly related to costs associated with supervision, and the cost of risk.
Millennium bim in Mozambique registered an increase in net income of 3.4% (7.4% in metical), having reached 88 million euros in 2014 relative to 86 million euros in 2013. This was underpinned by the increase in net operating revenues, in particular of net interest income having benefited from higher loan volumes, in spite of the impact of the expansion plan on the evolution of operating costs.
Banco Millennium Angola recorded a net income of 51 million euros in 2014, an increase of 25.5% (+27.6% in kwanza) relative to the 41 million euros recognised in 2013, reflecting the positive effect of net interest income associated with the increase in loans to customers, in spite of the reduction in results from foreign exchange operations and the growth of operating costs due to the expansion of the branch network.
Millennium Banque Privée in Switzerland recorded a net income growth to 7 million euros in 2014, compared with 6 million euros in 2013. This growth was influenced by the favourable evolution of commissions related to assets under management, in spite of the reduction of net interest income, as a result of the decrease in customer loans and the decrease in market interest rates, and the increase in operating costs.
Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands reported a net income of 8 million euros in 2014, lower than the 11 million euros recorded in 2013, due to the unfavourable performance of net interest income, mainly associated with the reduction in the net amount in credit institutions, and to net trading income, in spite of lower credit impairment levels associated with the appreciation of collateral and the positive contribution of commissions and operating costs.

Net interest income reached 1,116 million euros in 2014, an increase of 31.6% from the 848 million euros recognised in 2013, benefiting from the performances of the activity in Portugal and of the international activity. The evolution of net interest income also reflects the lower level of interest related to the issue of hybrid financial instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State (Cocos), which fell to 180 million euros in 2014, from 269 million euros registered in 2013, following the early repayments made during 2014, totalling 2.25 billion euros, anticipating, in part, the initially defined schedule for the payment of these financial instruments.
The increase in net interest income, between 2013 and 2014, was driven by the positive interest rate effect of 324 million euros, reflecting the decrease in the cost of term deposits, in spite of the negative volume effect of 36 million euros, influenced by the contraction in the demand for credit, with a consequent impact on business volumes.
The successive and sustained reduction in the cost of deposits, in addition to the early repayment of CoCos in 2014, provided access to sources of funding of the activity under relatively more favourable conditions, thus contributing to the improvement in net interest income, relative to 2013, which more than offset the impact on the loan portfolio of the maintenance of market interest rates at low levels, in spite of the effort to adjust the price of operations contracted with customers to the respective cost of risk.

The deleveraging measures of the private sector constrained the granting of loans, penalising the evolution of net interest income, in spite of the continued promotion of commercial initiatives to support sustainable business plans. The growth of customer deposits, reflecting the continuation of the strategy focused on attracting stable balance sheet funds, enabled the improvement of the loan-to-deposit ratio and the reduction of the commercial gap between the end of 2013 and the end of 2014.
The favourable evolution of net interest income, in the activity in Portugal, between 2013 and 2014, reflects the continued decline in the cost of term deposits, as well as the lower level of costs related to CoCos and the positive effect of the

share capital increase undertaken in July 2014, which offset the unfavourable context associated with interest rates at historically low levels and the contraction in demand for credit, in spite of the continued offer of credit solutions aimed at growth, modernisation, internationalisation and the reinforcement of the competitive capacity of Portuguese companies. On a quarterly basis, net interest income of the activity in Portugal recorded an increase of 22.3%, between the third and fourth quarters of 2014, reflecting the gradual and sustained growth trend observed in previous quarters of 2014.
Net interest income of the international activity increased by 16.6%, when compared to the amount recognised in 2013, as a result of the combined effect of reduction of the cost of deposits and increases in deposit and loan volumes, reflecting the implemented measures aimed at the creation of conditions for growth. This increase in net interest income benefited from the positive performance of the operations in Poland, Angola and Mozambique, reflecting the established priority of continuous development of the business in these geographies.

Note: Interest related to hedge derivatives were allocated, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, to the respective balance item.
The analysis of the balance sheet shows that average net assets decreased to 80,543 million euros in 2014, compared with 85,693 million euros in 2013, reflecting the reduction of the interest earning assets balance, in particular of the customer loans average balance, which stood at 55,068 million euros in 2014, compared with 57,335 million euros in 2013, reflecting nonetheless a lower decline than in previous years. At the same time, the evolution of average net assets was influenced by the reduction in the financial assets average balances to 12,236 million euros in 2014 (13,337 million euros in 2013) and in deposits in credit institutions to 3,254 million euros in 2014 (3,931 million euros in 2013).
Average total interest bearing liabilities fell to 72,817 million euros in 2014, compared with 77,391 million euros in 2013, as a result of the reduction in the average balance of issued debt and financial liabilities to 8,550 million euros in 2014 (11,694 million euros in 2013), reflecting the maturity of medium and long term debt, as well as the replacement, on maturity, of bonds placed with customers by deposits, and of the decrease in deposits from credit institutions to 12,217 million euros in 2014 (14,491 million euros in 2013), reflecting the lower exposure to the European Central Bank financing, in addition to the reduction of the average balance of financial liabilities to 3,335 million euros in 2014 (4,326 million euros in 2013), following the early repayment of CoCos in 2014. These reductions were partially offset by the increase in customer deposits average balance that totalled 48,715 million euros in 2014, compared to 46,880 million euros recognised in 2013, reflecting the effort to attract and retain stable balance sheet funds, aimed at reducing the commercial gap and the funding of loans to customers by deposits.
In terms of structure of the average balance sheet, discontinued operations are classified outside of the aggregate of interest earning assets, hence the average balance of interest earning assets represented 87.6% of average net assets in 2014, which compares with 87.1% in 2013. The loans to customers component reinforced its relative weight in the balance sheet structure to 68.4% of average net assets in 2014 (66.9% in 2013), and continues to be the main aggregate of the assets portfolio. The financial assets portfolio reduced its weight in the balance sheet structure by representing 15.2% of average net assets in 2014 (15.6% in 2013).
In the structure of interest bearing liabilities, customer deposits continued to be the main source of funding and support of the intermediation activity, having increased its weight in the liabilities structure to 66.9% of the average balance of interest bearing liabilities in 2014, compared to 60.6% in 2013, driven by the effort to maintain and attract stable customer funds. The aggregate of debt securities issued and financial liabilities reduced its weight in the balance of interest bearing liabilities to 11.7% in 2014, compared to 15.1% in 2013; at the same time, the subordinated liabilities component reduced its weight in total interest bearing liabilities to 4.6%, from 5.6% in 2013, influenced by the early repayment of the hybrid financial instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State. The evolution of the average equity balance reflects the share capital increase undertaken in July 2014, in addition to the increase in fair value reserves, between the end of 2013 and the end of 2014.
The net interest margin stood at 1.56% in 2014, corresponding to an increase from the 1.12% in 2013, benefiting from the expansion of the activity in Portugal and the international activity. The performance of the net interest margin was influenced by the CoCos funding cost. However, excluding this impact, net interest margin stood at 1.81% in 2014, which compared with 1.48% in 2013. The average interest rates of the components directly related to operations with customers fell between 2013 and 2014, in particular the rate of customer deposits, which more than offset the evolution of the average rate of loans to customers.

Other net income, which aggregates income from equity instruments, net commissions, net trading income, other net operating income and equity totalled 1,176 million euros in 2014, corresponding to an increase of 27.7% from the 921 million euros in 2013, driven by most aggregates, in particular of net trading income. The increase of other net income benefited from the performance of the activity in Portugal, partially mitigated by the evolution in the international activity.

Income from equity instruments, which includes dividends received from investments in financial assets available for sale, stood at 6 million euros in 2014, compared with 4 million euros in 2013, corresponding, in both years, mainly to income associated with the Group's equity investments and to investment fund participation units.
Net commissions stood at 681 million euros in 2014, corresponding to an increase of 2.7% when compared to 663 million euros recognised in 2013, influenced by the increase in commissions related to financial markets, in addition to the favourable evolution of the commissions associated with the banking business. The increase in net commissions from 2013 was driven by the growth of 6.5% posted by the international activity, benefiting from the performance achieved in all geographies, as well as the increase of 0.7% in the activity in Portugal, over the same period.
Commissions more directly related to the banking business increased by 1.2%, amounting to 545 million euros in 2014, compared to 539 million euros in 2013, reflecting the rise in commissions related to cards and loans and guarantees, in spite of the negative impact of overdraft commissions, which was partially offset by the positive effect of the reduction of the cost of debt issues guaranteed by the State, as a result of the repurchase and cancellation of all these debt issues during 2014.
The commissions associated with the card business and transfers grew by 6.9%, amounting to 194 million euros in 2014, compared with 181 million euros recorded in 2013, benefiting from the performance of the activity in Portugal, in particular of the commissions related to transfers and income associated with the cards business, sustained by the increase in the number of cards and invoicing volume. In the international activity the increase in commissions with cards and transfers was supported by the growth of the subsidiaries in Poland, Mozambique and Angola.
Commissions related to loan operations and guarantees increased by 3.3% to 160 million euros in 2014, compared with 155 million euros in 2013, positively influenced by the international activity benefiting from the performance of the subsidiaries in Poland, Angola and Mozambique, in spite of the reduction recorded in the activity in Portugal, following the reduction of demand for credit, hindered by a persistent adverse economic environment.
Bancassurance commissions, which include the commissions obtained for the placement of insurance

products through the Bank's distribution networks in Portugal, stood at 73 million euros in 2014, having stabilised from 2013.
Net commissions related to customer accounts fell to 77 million euros in 2014, which compares to 105 million euros in 2013, reflecting the negative effect determined, namely, by the impact of the legislative changes related to overdraft commissions in the activity in Portugal.
The total amount of net commissions includes the cost associated with the guarantee provided by the Portuguese State for the Bank's debt issues and which, following the repurchase and cancellation of all of these issues in October 2014, reached a total of 23 million euros in 2014, compared to 60 million euros in 2013.
Other commissions reached a total of 65 million euros in 2014, compared to 85 million euros posted in 2013, conditioned by the simultaneous contraction of the activity in Portugal and of the international activity.
Commissions related to financial markets grew by 9.1%, from 124 million euros in 2013 to 136 million euros in 2014, reflecting the favourable performance achieved in asset management and in transactions on securities, both in the activity in Portugal and in the international activity.
Commissions associated with transactions on securities increased by 6.2% to 97 million euros in 2014, from 91 million euros in 2013, reflecting the performance of the activity in Portugal, in particular the commissions related to placement and structuring of operations, in addition to the favourable evolution of the international activity, in particular through the operations in Switzerland and Poland.
Commissions generated by asset management reached a total of 39 million euros in 2014, compared to 33 million euros in 2013, benefiting from the activity in Portugal and the international activity, driven mainly by the commissions obtained by the subsidiaries in Poland, Mozambique and Switzerland.

Net trading income, which includes net gains from trading and hedging activities, net gains from available for sale financial assets and net gains from held to maturity financial assets, stood at 442 million euros in 2014, compared to 264 million euros in 2013.
The evolution of net trading income reflects the performance of the activity in Portugal, by benefiting from the gains obtained in the sale of Portuguese sovereign debt securities, which reached a total of 319 million euros in 2014, compared to 69 million euros in 2013. In 2013, net trading income included the recording of gains related to the divestment of the shareholding in Piraeus Bank, as well as of the associated warrants, reflecting the focus on meeting the objectives defined in the Group's Strategic Plan, related to the divestment in the Greek market.
NET TRADING INCOME
Million euros

In the international activity, net trading income reached a total of 99 million euros in 2014, compared to 106 million euros in 2013. The lower level of net trading income posted by the subsidiaries in Angola and Poland, more than offset the gains registered by Millennium bim in Mozambique, reflecting the performance of foreign exchange operations.

Other net operating income, which includes other operating income, other income from non-banking activities and gains from the sale of subsidiaries and other assets, recorded a gain of 11 million euros in 2014, compared with net losses of 72 million euros in 2013.
The increase in other net operating income reflects, in the activity in Portugal, the recording of a gain of 69 million euros, related to the sale of all the shareholdings held in associated companies that operated exclusively in Non-Life business.
This heading includes, however, the impact in terms of operating costs of the exceptional tax contribution on the banking sector, the contribution to the resolution fund, as well as the contribution to the deposit guarantee fund, totalling 51 million euros recorded in 2014 (51 million euros in 2013).
Equity accounted earnings, which include the results appropriated by the Group associated with the consolidation of entities where the Group, in spite of having significant influence, does not exercise control over their financial and operational policies, amounted to 36 million euros in 2014, compared with 62 million euros in 2013.
Equity accounted earnings include the appropriation of results associated with the shareholding of 49% held in Millenniumbcp Ageas, which were penalised by the sale of the Non-Life business in the second quarter of 2014, within the scope of the process aimed at focusing on core activities, as defined in the Strategic Plan. In addition, in 2013, equity accounted earnings included higher earnings of the activities in the renting and venture capital areas.

Operating costs, which aggregate staff costs, other administrative costs and depreciation for the year, reached a total of 1,150 million euros in 2014 (1,295 million euros in 2013). This decrease in operating costs contributed favourably to the evolution of the cost to income ratio, boosting efficiency gains in both the activity in Portugal and the international activity.
In 2013, operating costs included the following effects: i) the favourable impact of the legislative change related to the mortality allowance, in the amount of 7 million euros; ii) the recording of costs related to early retirement and contract termination through mutual agreement within the scope of the restructuring plan, in the total
amount of 126 million euros.
On a comparable basis, operating costs fell by 2.3% in 2014, from 1,176 million euros in 2013, reflecting the reductions achieved in all aggregates, in particular the decline in staff costs and other administrative costs, by 2.3% and 2.0% respectively.
In the activity in Portugal, operating costs, on a comparable basis, fell by 5.9% to 690 million euros in 2014, compared with 734 million euros in 2013, reflecting the implemented initiatives aimed at containing and rationalising expenses, in line with the objectives set out in the Strategic Plan, in particular through the temporary reduction of salaries, implemented in the third quarter of 2014, as well as the decrease of the number of employees and branches.
In the international activity, operating costs increased by 3.9% to 459 million euros in 2014, compared with 442 million euros in 2013, as a result of the performances in the operations in Mozambique and Angola, following the reinforcement of the distribution networks and respective operational support, as well as in the subsidiaries in Poland and Switzerland.
The consolidated cost to income ratio, on a comparable basis, improved by reaching 51.7% in 2014, compared with 66.5% in 2013, incorporating the favourable contribution of the reduction in operating costs and the simultaneous increase in total income. The cost to income ratio of the activity in Portugal registered a positive evolution, reaching 53.7% in 2014, compared with 80.9% in

2013, reflecting the favourable impacts of the decrease in operating costs and the increase in income. In the international activity, the growth of net operating revenues more than offset the increase in operating costs. As a result, the cost to income ratio also improved from 51.3% in 2013 to 49.1% in 2014.

Staff costs amounted to 636 million euros in 2014, compared with 767 million euros in 2013. Staff costs include the aforesaid effects, in the total amount of 117 million euros in 2013, totally recognised in the activity in Portugal. Therefore, on a comparable basis, staff costs fell by 2.3% from 651 million euros in 2013, benefiting from the performance of the activity in Portugal, in spite of the increase registered in the international activity.
In the activity in Portugal, staff costs, on a comparable basis, fell by 5.0% to 411 million euros, compared with 433 million euros in 2013, influenced by the lower level of remunerations, reflecting the implementation of temporary measures of salary reduction, as

well as the reduction of the number of employees, arising from the effect of the restructuring plan, to a total of 7,795 employees at the end of 2014, compared with 8,584 employees allocated to the activity in Portugal at the end of 2013, including 27 and 29 employees in 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were allocated to discontinued operations.
In the international activity, staff costs stood at 225 million euros in 2014, having increased by 3.1% from 218 million euros in 2013, representing 35% of total staff costs on a consolidated basis in 2014. This increase was influenced by the performances in the subsidiaries in Angola, Mozambique and Switzerland, in spite of the stabilisation of staff costs in Bank Millennium in Poland. The number of employees allocated to the international activity stood at 9,845 employees at the end of 2014, compared with 10,076 employees at the end of 2013. Nonetheless, excluding 562 employees that were allocated, at the end of 2013, to the discontinued operation in Romania, the number of employees in the international activity increased, between the end of 2013 and 2014, driven by most geographies, in particular by the activities developed in Poland, Angola and Mozambique.

Other administrative costs, on a comparable basis, fell by 2.0% to 448 million euros in 2014, compared with 457 million euros in 2013, favourably influenced by the savings obtained in the headings of rents, outsourcing, advisory services, communications and maintenance and related services.
The decrease of other administrative costs benefited from the reduction of 6.1% in the activity in Portugal, caused by the impact of the initiatives to improve operational efficiency that have been implemented, in particular the optimisation of the branch network in Portugal, which ended 2014 with a total of 695 branches, representing a decline of 79 branches compared with the total of 774 branches at the end of 2013.
BRANCHES

In the activity in Portugal, the reduction of other administrative costs was achieved through lower costs related with rents, outsourcing, advisory services, communications and maintenance and related services, which enabled costs related with advertising, aimed primarily at supporting the commercial activity, to be more than offset.
In the international activity, other administrative costs stood at 202 million euros in 2014, having increased by 3.6% relative to the 194 million euros in 2013, reflecting the higher level of expenses related to advertising, communications and IT, recorded in the subsidiaries in Poland, Mozambique and Angola, excluding in the latter the foreign exchange effect of the kwanza against the euro. The total number of branches allocated to the international activity came to 678 branches at the end of 2014, compared with 744 branches at the end of 2013, following the reduction of 65 branches that were allocated to the discontinued operation in Romania, as well as the resizing of the distribution network in Poland, partially offset by the expansion of the commercial network in Mozambique and Angola.

Depreciation for the year stood at 66 million euros in 2014, decreasing by 3.8% from 68 million euros in 2013, benefiting from the performance of the activity in Portugal, in spite of the increase in the international activity, enabling depreciation for the year representative of the international activity to reach 51% of the consolidated amount in 2014, compared with 44% in 2013.
In the activity in Portugal the reduction of 15.2% in depreciation for the year, compared with 2013, reflects the gradual end of the period of depreciation of investments made in previous years, with emphasis on the lower level of depreciation recorded in the headings of real estate properties, software and IT equipment.
In the international activity, the 10.3% increase in depreciation for the year, compared with 2013 was influenced by the performance of the headings of real estate properties and software, reflecting in particular increases posted by the operations developed in Angola, Mozambique and, to a lesser extent, in Poland.
Loan impairment stood at 1,107 million euros in 2014, which compares with 821 million euros in 2013, as a result of the reinforcement of charges observed both in the activity in Portugal and in the international activity.
In the activity in Portugal, loan impairment charges recognised in 2014 include the reinforcement recorded within the scope of the asset quality review (AQR) of Banco de Portugal and of the European Central Bank and reflect the persistence of adverse economic circumstances, with impact on

the economic situation of national households and companies, in spite of the signs of a moderate recovery of the Portuguese economy.
In the international activity, an increase in loan impairment charges was observed, compared with 2013, resulting from the reinforcement made in the subsidiary in Poland and, to a lesser extent, in the subsidiary in Mozambique.
The cost of risk, on a comparable basis, stood at 194 basis points in 2014, compared with 137 basis points in 2013, reflecting the extraordinary reinforcement of loan impairment charges recognised in the activity in Portugal.

Other impairments and provisions aggregate the headings of charges for the impairment of other financial assets, 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 impairment and provisions stood at 209 million euros in 2014, a decrease of 55.1%, compared with 466 million euros in 2013, influenced by the lower level of charges recorded in the activity in Portugal, in particular related to the impairment of non-current assets held for sale (includes repossessed assets) and to the impairment of other financial assets, which included, in 2013, the charge related to the record of the impairment related with the subscription of ordinary shares of Piraeus Bank, following the process of divestment of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece. The heading of other impairment and provisions also includes the reduction of provision charges related with guarantees provided and other contingencies.
In the international activity, the lower level of charges for other impairment and provisions in 2014, compared with 2013, reflects the decrease observed by Bank Millennium in Poland, in spite of the reinforcement recorded by the subsidiaries in Angola and Mozambique.
Income tax (current and deferred) reached a total of -98 million euros in 2014, compared with -211 million euros recorded in 2013.
Income tax included current tax costs of 101 million euros (116 million euros in 2013), net of deferred tax income of 199 million euros (326 million euros in 2013).
The deferred tax income recognised in 2014 refers mainly to impairment losses, which are not deductible for purposes of calculation of taxable profit, and to tax losses.
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 110 million euros in 2014, compared with 94 million euros in 2013. This performance mainly benefited from the increase in net income recognised by Bank Millennium in Poland and Banco Millennium Angola.
The macroeconomic scenario in Portugal in 2014 was characterised by a moderate recovery of economic activity, as outlined by the growth of gross domestic product for the year as a whole, boosted by domestic demand and exports. This evolution reversed the trend of contraction that has characterised the last three years, in a context of gradual recovery of economic agents' confidence levels.
In 2014, benefiting in particular from the recovery of economic activity, the Portuguese State returned to the international financial markets to obtain financing. In the euro zone, the public debt risk premiums continued to decline, reflecting investor confidence in the economic and financial recovery of the countries that successfully concluded their financial assistance programmes.

The European Central Bank (ECB) cut its reference rates to historical minimums, thus steering shortterm interest rates downward, counteracting the upward effect arising from the early repayment of part of the liquidity assigned under the long term refinancing operations (LTRO), which also contributed to the depreciation of the euro, against the dollar in particular. Concerning Portuguese banks, particular note should be made of the continued decreasing usage of the liquidity provided by the ECB throughout 2014, as well as the impact of the increase in credit risk coverage levels, partially explained by the Comprehensive Assessment exercise conducted by the ECB.
In 2014, Millennium bcp pursued a liquidity management policy based on the control of financing requirements, through an active and optimised management of eligible collateral for discount with the ECB and in the follow-up and seizing of opportunities offered by the wholesale funding market.
Indeed, Millennium bcp reduced its commercial gap, measured by the difference between net loan and customer deposits, which contributed to lower funding needs, reflecting the impact of a number of initiatives aiming to increase customer deposits. This component thus reinforced its weight in the funding structure of the Group to 75% (67% at the end of 2013) and continued to be the main source of funding. In addition to this improvement in the commercial gap, the reduction of the Portuguese sovereign debt portfolio by 1.2 billion euros in 2014 also contributed to the reduction of funding needs.
The share capital increase, in turn, undertaken in the third quarter of 2014 in the amount of 2.2 billion euros, enabled increasing the early repayment of the hybrid instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State to 2.25 billion euros, with only 750 million euros (25% of the amount subscribed) remaining outstanding. The reimbursement of medium and long term debt reached a total of 5.3 billion euros in 2014 and the total amount of debt guaranteed by the State was cancelled.
The combined effect of the refinancing of the medium and long term debt, reductions of the commercial gap, decrease of the public debt portfolio, share capital increase, issue of senior debt and the increased usage of other sources of funding led to a reduction of 3.3 billion euros in the net financing from the Eurosystem, having decreased from 10.0 billion euros as at 31 December 2013 to 6.6 billion euros at the end of 2014.
Total assets stood at 76,361 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 82,007 million euros stated as at 31 December 2013, mainly reflecting the contraction in loans to customers in Portugal and the reduction of the securities portfolio, associated to the reduction registered in debt securities of public issuers, in particular of Portuguese sovereign debt securities.
Loans to customers, before loans impairment, decreased by 5.1%, to stand at 57,168 million euros as at 31 December 2014 (representing 75% of total assets), compared with 60,222 million euros recorded at the end of the previous year. Excluding the effect of the loan portfolio associated to the operation in Romania, loans to customers fell by 4.3%. This evolution reflected the moderate recovery trend of the Portuguese economy over the course of 2014, within a context of continuing reduction of household and company debt, limited private investment and consequent contraction of demand for credit.
The securities portfolio, which represented 16.0% of total assets as at 31 December 2014, fell by 10.8% relative to the previous year, reflecting the decrease in financial assets available for sale and financial assets held to maturity, in spite of the increase in financial assets held for trading. In fact, the financial assets held to maturity fell by 25.7%, to stand at 2,311 million euros as at 31 December 2014, reflecting the lower exposure to debt securities of public issuers, in particular of Portuguese sovereign debt securities. On the other hand, the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale contracted as a whole to 9,937 million euros as at 31 December 2014 (-6.4% compared with the end of 2013), mainly due to the effect of the reduction of the portfolio of fixed income securities, partially offset by the increase in the portfolio of financial assets held for trading.

Total liabilities fell by 9.3%, to stand at 71,374 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 78,731 million euros at the end of 2013, largely influenced by: (i) the 39.3% reduction of debt securities issued, amounting to 5,710 million euros at the end of 2014 (9,411 million euros at the end of 2013) reflecting the gradual replacement, upon maturity, of bonds placed with customers deposits and the repayment of medium and long term debt; (ii) the 18.7% reduction of deposits of Central Banks and other credit institutions to a total of 10,966 million euros as at 31 December 2014 (13,493 million euros at the end of 2013), reflecting the lower exposure to ECB funding and (iii) the 53.6% reduction of subordinated debt, mainly due to the repayment of 2,25 billion euros of hybrid instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State. It is important to note that customer deposits, excluding the effect of discontinued operations, increased by 2.5%, to stand at 49,817 million euros as at December 2014, compared with 48,595 million euros recorded at the end of 2013, as a result of the reinforcement of the commercial strategy focused on the retention and growth of balance sheet customer funds.
In this context of reinforcement of stable balance sheet funds and the reduction of loans, the reduction of the commercial gap and the favourable evolution of the loan to deposit ratio - which came to 109% as at 31 December 2014 (117% at the end of 2013) - continued.
Equity increased from 3,276 million euros at the end of 2013 to 4,987 million euros as at 31 December 2014 (+1,711 million euros), with the reformulation, in June 2014, of the equity headings, through a reduction of the share capital and an increase in reserves and retained earnings following deliberation at the Annual General Meeting, and an increase in share capital to 3,707 million euros (3,500 million euros at the end of 2013) in July 2014. Therefore, in 2014, equity benefited mainly from the increase in share capital of 2.2 billion euros and the favourable evolution of fair value reserves of 85 million euros, influenced by the change in the fair value of Portuguese sovereign debt securities held in portfolio, which more than offset the actuarial losses for the year of 444 million euros (net of taxes), determined by the updating of actuarial assumptions, and the still negative net income of 227 million euros (in spite of the improvement relative to the -740 million euros recorded in 2013).
During 2014, the moderate pace of recovery of economic activity and the reduction of the borrowing interest rates paid, which were felt more distinctly in the second half of the year, were insufficient to reverse the trend of decreasing demand for bank loans in Portugal, namely by companies, whose management of their funding needs and uncertainty regarding the prospects of future growth continued to be reflected in their demand for loans resulting in the contraction of the volumes of loans granted.
Throughout 2014, Millennium bcp continued to focus on offering integrated and innovative solutions to meet the funding 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.
Loans and advances to customers, before impairment and on a comparable basis, fell by 4.3% to stand at 57,168 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 59,734 million euros at the end of 2013. The evolution of the loan portfolio was mainly influenced by the activity in Portugal, which declined by 7.3%, whilst the international activity grew by 7.2% compared with the end of 2013, boosted by the favourable performance of Banco Millennium Angola, Bank Millennium in Poland and Millennium bim in Mozambique, which more than offset the reduction of the loan portfolio recorded in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.

The lower volume of loans to customers, in Portugal, reflected the contraction both in terms of loans granted to individuals (-2.0%), which stood at 21,644 million euros (22,078 million euros at the end of 2013), and loans granted to companies (-12.1%), which came to 22,139 million euros (25,173 million euros at the end of 2013), with persisting moderate levels of confidence of households and companies in the economic context, 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.
Between 31 December 2013 and 2014, the structure of the customer loans portfolio maintained the same, balanced patterns of diversification, with loans to companies representing 48.3% of total loans, while loans to individuals represented 51.7% of the portfolio of loans to customers.
Loans to individuals, on a comparable basis, stood at 29,582 million euros as at 31 December 2014, decreasing by 1.2% relative to the 29,937 million euros recorded at the end of 2013. This was determined, in particular, by mortgage loans, as a result of the repayment of principal associated to the loan portfolio, which represented 86% of loans to individuals, reaching a total of 25,545 million euros as at 31 December 2014.
The performance of mortgage loans, on a comparable basis, was influenced by the contraction of both the activity in Portugal (-3.9%) and the international activity (-1.9%), essentially due to the subsidiary in Poland.
Consumer credit, on a comparable basis, increased by 15.6% to a total of 4.037 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 3,493 million euros recorded at the end of 2013, having slightly increased its weight in the


(*) Before loans impairment and on a comparable basis: excludes the impact from discontinued operations.
total loans to individuals portfolio to 13.6% (11.7% at the end of 2013). This growth was a result of both the activity in Portugal, which increased by 15.7% relative to the end of 2013, and the international activity, which grew by 15.3%, largely influenced by the performance of the operations in Poland, Angola and Mozambique.
Loans to companies, on a comparable basis, stood at 27,586 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 29,797 million euros as at 31 December 2013, with the slowdown in loans granted to companies being maintained, as a result of the management of their funding needs and the postponement of their investment decisions, expressed in lower demand for loans.
In this context, in spite of the maintenance of strict selection criteria in terms of credit risk, Millennium bcp continued to support Portuguese companies in different economic sectors, namely by supporting processes of growth, modernisation, and reinforcement of competitive capacity, promoting a number of initiatives, with emphasis on the promotion of credit facilities, especially under the SME growth lines.
The evolution of loans to companies was above all determined by the activity in Portugal, which contracted by 12.1%, with particular incidence on the Corporate network, contrasting with the increase in the international activity of 17.8% from the end of the previous year, with emphasis on the operations in Angola, Poland and Mozambique as a result of the relatively more favourable economic impetus in these countries.

Non-performing loans, which, pursuant to Banco de Portugal Instruction No. 16/2004, in its current version, includes overdue loans by more than 90 days and doubtful loans reclassified as overdue for the effect of provisioning, accounted for 9.6% of total loans as at 31 December 2014, compared with 9.2% as at 31 December 2013, and credit at risk reached 12.0% of total loans, as at 31 December 2014, compared with 11.9% at the end of 2013. As at 31 December 2014, restructured loans stood at 11.0% of total loans (9.5% as at 31 December 2013) and restructured loans not included in credit at risk reached 7.2% of total loans as at 31 December 2014 (6.4% as at 31 December 2013).

Overdue loans by more than 90 days, adjusted for the effect of discontinued operations, declined by 0.8%, reaching 4,189 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 4,221 million euros recorded at the end of 2013. This evolution, also observed in the total overdue loans in 2014 (-1.4% relative to the end of 2013), reflects the performance of overdue loans in the activity in Portugal, still penalised by the recessionary period of the Portuguese economy reflected on the materialisation of the credit risk throughout 2014.
Overdue loans granted to companies represented 78.2% of total overdue loans portfolio as at 31 December 2014, with a focus on services, construction and commerce sectors. The ratio of overdue loans to companies as a percentage of total loans granted to companies increased to 12.1%, compared with 11.6% recorded at the end of 2013, as a result of the contraction of loans to companies portfolio. As at 31 December 2014, overdue loans to companies presented a coverage level of 81.8% by the balance of impairments in the balance sheet.
For loans granted to individuals, overdue consumer credit and mortgage loans represented 14.9% and 6.9%, respectively, of the total overdue loans portfolio, with a ratio of overdue consumer credit to total consumer credit improving to 15.8%, compared with 18.1% at the end of 2013, while the ratio of overdue mortgage loans increased to 1.2% as at 31 December 2014, compared with 0.9% at the end of 2013.

In 2014, the reduction of the banks risk premiums and sovereign debt enabled national banks to access market funding. Notwithstanding, customer funds continued to be the main source of funding of Portuguese banks, in particular customer deposits which increased their weight in the funding structure, taking 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. The year of 2014 was also marked by the sharp decline in the interest rates on customer funds products, with Millennium bcp having monitored that evolution with the implementation of a commercial strategy focused on reducing the cost of debt products, maintaining its commitment to the retention and growth of the customer funds portfolio, with the objective of contributing simultaneously to the

Total customer funds, on a comparable basis, increased by 0.7% to 64,739 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 64,260 million euros recorded at the end of 2013, influenced by the growth of both off-balance sheet customer funds (+2.3%) and balance sheet customer funds (+0.4%).
In the activity in Portugal, total customer funds stood at 47,881 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 48.128 million euros as at 31 December 2013. In the international activity, total customer funds increased by 4.5% to 16,858 million euros at the end of 2014, compared with 16,132 million euros recorded at the end of 2013, largely determined by the performance of the operations in Mozambique, Angola and Poland, with particular emphasis on the growth of customer deposits.
Balance sheet customer funds reached a total of 52,593 million euros as at 31 December 2014 (52,392 million euros at the end of 2013), reflecting the 2.5% increase in customer deposits, in spite of the 26.9% reduction of debt securities owed to customers, and notwithstanding the impact of the share capital increase operation undertaken in July 2014.

Off-balance sheet customer funds increased by 2.3%, amounting to 12,146 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 11,868 million euros recorded at the end of 2013, in line with the trend observed over the last few years. This evolution is mainly due to the positive performance of assets under management (+12.9%), with capitalisation products declining by 1.5%, incorporating the effects of the appreciation of assets on financial markets and declining relative attractiveness of term deposits during 2014.
Assets under management increased from 3,173 million euros at the end of 2013 to 3,583 million euros as at 31 December 2014, supported by the positive performance recorded in the activity in Portugal, with emphasis on the increased volume of closed real estate funds of private subscription essentially gathered in the Private Banking network.
Capitalisation products stood at 8,563 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 8,695 million euros at the end of 2013, influenced by the reduction in the activity in Portugal. This evolution, which maintained 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.

The deposits of credit institutions and Central Banks, net of investments and deposits at credit institutions, amounted to 8,714 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 11,198 million euros recorded at the end of 2013. 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, to which the context of contraction of loans to customers observed throughout 2014 also contributed.
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 to long term.
The financial assets held for trading and available for sale portfolio fell to 9,937 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 10,617 million euros on the same date of 2013. This evolution was largely determined by the performance of the fixed income securities portfolio, since the portfolio of participation units and trading derivatives increased in relation to the previous year. The weight of the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale in total assets remained however stable, representing 13% of total assets at the end of 2014 and 2013.
The fixed income securities portfolio, composed mainly of Treasury Bills and Bonds of other foreign public issuers and Treasury Bonds and other public debt securities, which, as a whole, account for 77% of the fixed income portfolio and 57% of the total portfolio, stood at 7,395 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 8,581 million euros recorded at the end of 2013, as a result of the reduction in the exposure to Portuguese sovereign debt, despite the reinforcement of the Polish, Mozambican and Angolan sovereign debt portfolio.
Variable yield securities increased by 21.7%, from 1,203 million euros recorded at the end of 2013 to 1,465 million euros as at 31 December 2014, showing the reinforcement of the portfolio of participation units.
Trading derivatives amounted to 1,081 million euros as at 31 December 2014, having increased by 29.0% in relation to the same date of the previous year (838 million euros), with emphasis on the increase observed in trading volumes of interest rate swaps.

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 8.5% of total consolidated assets (7.6% at the end of 2013), standing at 6,468 million euros as at 31 December 2014, compared with 6,244 million euros recorded on the same date of 2013. This evolution is essentially explained by the increase of the balances of current and deferred tax assets, other assets and non-current assets held for sale, which more than offset the decline in the balance of investment in associates which fell to 323 million euros as at 31 December 2014 (579 million euros on the same date of 2013), related with the sale of all the shareholdings of 49% held in the insurance entities that operated exclusively in the Non-Life business.

Millennium bcp conducts a wide range of banking activities and financial services in Portugal and abroad, with special focus on Retail Banking, Companies Banking, Corporate & Investment Banking and Asset Management & Private Banking business.

(*) For the purposes of business segmentation, Millennium Banque Privée (Switzerland) and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust (Cayman Islands) are included in the Asset Management and Private Banking segment. In terms of geographic segmentation, both operations are considered Foreign Business.
(**) Loans Portfolios in Portugal to discontinue gradually under the commitments undertaken with the DG Comp. Note: Millennium bank in Greece, Banca Millennium in Romania and Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos are considered discontinued operations.
The figures reported for each business segment result from aggregating the subsidiaries and business units integrated in each segment, also 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.
As the process of capital allocation is in accordance with the regulatory solvency criteria in place, the risk weighted assets and, consequently, the capital allocated to segments, are based on Basel III methodology, according with CRD IV/CRR, with reference to December 2014. The capital allocation to each segment, in December 2013 and December 2014, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment in those dates, reflecting the application of Basel III methodologies in December 2014 and Basel II in December 2013. The balancing of the various operations is ensured by internal fund transfers, not determining, although, changes at the consolidation level.
The net contributions of each segment include, when applicable, the non-controlling interests. Therefore, the net contributions reflect the individual results by business unit, regardless of the percentage held by the Group, and the impacts of the movements of funds described above. The information presented below was based on financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS and the organisation of the Group's business areas as at 31 December 2014.
In 2014, Retail Banking registered a negative net contribution of 85.5 million euros, comparing favourably with the negative amount of 142.6 million euros posted in 2013, essentially determined by the increase in net interest income and the decrease in operating costs, despite the higher impairment charges.
The net interest income improved from 127.9 million euros in 2013 to 230.4 million euros in 2014 as a result of the decrease in interest paid associated with the continued and sustained reduction of the interest rate of term deposits, despite the higher volume of customer deposits.
The operating costs amounted 549.3 million euros in 2014 recording a decrease of 6.5% from the amount of previous year reflecting the continued rationalization efforts in line with the targets set in the Strategic Plan, benefiting from the impact of operating efficiency improvement initiatives namely from the decrease in the number of employees and branches together with the salary reduction carried out in the third quarter of 2014.
In 2014, impairment charges stood at 125.8 million euros reflecting the impact of the higher level of impairment charges associated with the Asset Quality Review (AQR) exercise on the one hand, and the persistence of an adverse economic context to households and companies on the other.
Loans to customers decreased by 3.0%, to 17,652 million euros as at 31 December 2014, reflecting the lower demand for credit by individuals and companies, despite the implemented initiatives focused in the offer of integrated product and services solutions to customers.
Total customer funds stood at 33,997 million euros as at 31 December 2014, comparing favourably with the 32,643 million euros posted as at 31 December 2013, in spite of the impact in customer deposits evolution of the rights issue completed in July 2014.

Notes:
Customer funds and Loans to companies (net of recoveries) figures are on monthly average balances.
In the Mass Market segment, in 2014, focus was maintained on the offer of different savings solutions, namely those that permit deposits of small amounts and with shorter maturities. Personal loans were also promoted throughout the year with solutions aimed at assisting in the accomplishment of small private and family projects. In addition, integrated solutions continued to be the core product of the segment by offering a series of products and services that simplify the banking relationship on a day-to-day basis and at a low cost.
In the first half of 2014, the visibility of the integrated solutions was reinforced with the launch of a major advertising campaign with emphasis on the Frequent Customer product and its family support component. The fact that this product is


now 10 years old was promoted in this campaign. In the second half of the year, the focus was on the younger segment with the promotion of the Millennium GO! solution disclosed over the social networks of new GO! partners and with a new image that is more suited to the segment.
The automatic channels were also continuously promoted during 2014, with targeted promotional actions via mobile banking and through the external website of the Bank, which was named the "Best online banking website" by PC Guia magazine.
The offer of investment solutions for Prestige Customers was reinforced, throughout the year, with innovative products, among which the Global Investor Insurance and Active Retirement Insurance are noteworthy. To support Prestige Customers in the management of their net assets and the planning of their future investments, a new version of the Prestige Dossier was launched, a financial check-up with a new, more intuitive layout, providing more detailed information.
During the year, several communication components were produced to give prominence to products, campaigns, the celebration of specific dates, and the dissemination of partnerships, aimed at increasing the notoriety of the Millennium bcp Prestige brand and reposition Millennium bcp as a leading bank in this segment.
Based on the different banking characteristics and needs of the self-directed Customers, Millennium bcp innovated by creating a new platform for personalised follow-up, the Direct Prestige Centres. This remote service combines dedicated contact with the offer of extended access, ensuring a service of excellence.
In the Residents Abroad segment, 2014 was marked by a significant increase in turnover, in terms of both attraction of funds and cross-selling. These very positive results are underpinned by a series of strategic vectors that were defined by the Bank in its new business model:
With the objective of ensuring the financing and support of the Portuguese economy, namely to Corporate Customers of a smaller dimension, with a turnover of less than 2.5 million euros, the commitment to develop and broaden commercial activity was maintained, namely through the following initiatives:
As a result of these initiatives, the Bank strengthened its position as a partner of Small and Mediumsized Enterprises and as a leading Bank in the funding of the national economy: it maintained its leadership as "Main Bank" and the most "Innovative" in companies with up to 10 employees.
The year of 2014 was marked by the sharp fall in interest rates on Portuguese funds. Millennium bcp followed this trend with the implementation of a commercial strategy focused on reducing the cost of debt products, maintaining a constant concern with the attraction and growth of the portfolio of customers' funds, with the aim of improving net interest income, essential for the implementation of its strategy to defend its financial solidity and return to its profitability levels.
The Retail Network contributed positively to the bank's net income with the reduction of the cost of the time deposits portfolio and, at the same time, the increase in total customer funds. These results were obtained, on the one hand, from the implementation of measures to reduce rates, namely the launch of products that sustain the reduction of the cost of the portfolio and, on the other, with the redesign of the commercial offer by segment, with a view to attracting and expanding the Customer base and Funds. The offer for Affluent Customers was directed towards the diversification of financial assets, which include Certificates, Indexed Deposits, Investment Funds and Financial Insurance. In terms of programmed savings, products to facilitate small savings were created with the launch of the internet channel of the "Savings Centre". Regarding Customers Resident Abroad, the strategy involved the increase in overseas remittances and retaining those funds in short-term investments of the Bank.
The year of 2014 was also marked by the launch of indexed deposits with maturities of a year and a half, two and three years.
Throughout 2014, loans to individuals, due to their relevance in the profit and loss account, became once again one of the strategic priorities of the Bank.
In this regard, and with a view to stimulating the growth and funding of the economy, various initiatives were developed, namely:

home purchase and exchange. At the same time, the Bank promoted the greater streamlining
and speed in the process, thus meeting our Customers' expectations. The focus on the granting of loans for the sale of the Bank's real estate properties continued throughout the entire year.
Overdue credit - with default being one of the variables with greatest impact on the profit and loss account of the Bank, the focus in the overdue credit collection and restructuring in the entire Retail Network was maintained, contributing to slow the growth of non-performance and default.
The portfolio of Millennium bcp cards of the Bank presented very positive indicators:




Million euros

Purchases turnover Card invoicing
For convenience and improved autonomy in the use of credit cards, it is now possible to carry out occasional payments up until the penultimate working day of the month and the capacity to automatically manage the use of debit cards in off-line environments was substantially improved.
The American Express (AmEx) operation, which is managed by Millennium bcp in Portugal, also registered significant achievements in 2014:
Launch in July of the multi-media and multi-country campaign "EXPERIENCE PORTUGAL" to promote the use of AmEx cards in Portugal, in return for exclusive advantages from more than 300 partners.
Regarding other means of payment, in 2014 the very positive evolution registered in the placement of point-of-sale terminals continued, with this equipment supported by Millennium bcp having already exceeded 35,000 terminals. Gains in market share were registered, both in terms of number of point-ofsale terminals and turnover, a trend that was consolidated over the course of the year. The successive commercial campaigns offering solutions that meet the specific needs of each type of business contributed to this result. The point-of-sale terminal that issues simplified invoices or the Flash TPA for temporary use of the service are among the highlights.
In addition, Millennium bcp reinforced its position of servicing to Customers through selfbanking-only spaces. At the end of the year, the Bank reached 23 stores equipped with exclusive Multibanco Network ATMs and equipment for Customers, with emphasis on the ability to deposit cash and cheques. The Bank differentiates itself in the market with this concept and its positioning in major retail centres, facilitating the handling and deposit of cash for retailers. The market share of Millennium bcp in terms of transactions made through the equipment of the Multibanco Network is 4 percentage points above its market share in terms of number of equipment, which corresponds to usage and revenues considerably above the market average.
To continue to advance the objective of a Single Euro Payments Area, the rules of operation of the payment instruments were harmonised among all the countries that belong to SEPA, which resulted in the creation of two pan-European payment instruments - the SEPA Credit Transfers and the SEPA Direct Debits. As of 1 August 2014, the national Credit Transfers and Direct Debits migrated to the new pan-European SEPA instruments.
At Millennium bcp, the "Migration to SEPA Plan" was successfully concluded, guaranteeing the timely and efficient migration of payments made through Credit Transfers and Direct Debits, maintaining the high levels of security, punctuality and quality of the service provided to creditor and debtor Customers within the scope of these payment instruments.
In 2014, the Risk Insurance portfolio increased by more than 3%, underpinned by an increase in the volume of direct sales of insurance policies, thus consolidating the change of the bancassurance model, historically sustained by the sale of Insurance associated to credit operations.
In partnership with the insurance company Ocidental, products have been developed that are better suited to the Bank's Customer universe, seeking at each moment to innovate and improve the quality of the service provided to Customers, both at the moment of subscription, with simpler and quicker processes, or during maintenance and assistance.
Two excellent examples of the described strategy are:
During 2014, 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:
In order to achieve the focus on growth of the Customer base and involvement, a series of initiatives were developed during 2014, in particular:
Partnerships with some football clubs with the objective of attracting new Customers that are supporters of those clubs.
Two attraction campaigns carried out during the first half of 2014. The first campaign was about opening a paperless account, highlighting the innovative role that characterises ActivoBank. The second campaign was based on the result of the Marktest survey relative to reputation, in which the bank was considered the on-line bank with the best reputation.
In 2014, the bank completed the development of the missing products, with emphasis on the launch of the financial futures trading platform: Ontrade Platform.
The series of actions that were carried out combined with the continuous focus on innovation contributed to the achievement of over 73,000 Customers (+30%) at the end of the year and more than 110,000 fans on facebook, and to the recognition of the Bank by the national and international financial community, expressed in the attribution of the "Best Commercial Bank in Portugal" award by World Finance magazine (Banking awards 2014), the "Best Ethical Practices Awards" in the Legal Conscience category by Cofina/Cap Gemini, the "Best Consumer Internet Bank" award by Global Finance magazine and the distinction in the "Marktest Reputation Index" of on-line bank with the best reputation.
The bank reached its break-even point, with net operating revenues growing by 39% on a recurrent basis (95% if the results of operations involving the divestment of its own portfolio are considered), and with a decline of 6% in operating costs.
Millennnium bcp Microcredit continues to be recognised in the Portuguese market as an alternative for the funding, incentive and feasibility of entrepreneurial action, playing a fundamental role in the current national economic scenario by effectively combating unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. In 2014, 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. Thus, meetings were held with City Halls, Parish Councils and Education Establishments, in addition to regular participation in events publicising and promoting employment and entrepreneurial action.
Materialising this proximity policy, 16 cooperation agreements for entrepreneurial action and promotion of access to microcredit were concluded. Of these, reference should be made to the partnership with the

Regional Government of the Azores, aimed at providing a specific Microcredit line to promote entrepreneurship and the creation of self-employment in the region.
In order to recognise the entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, innovation and energy of Millennium bcp Microentrepreneurs, the Bank held the 3rd edition of "Prémio Realizar" (Accomplishment Award - Microcredit and Entrepreneurship Award). Also in 2014, with the support of Millennium bcp and the European Union, the 11th Annual Conference of the European Microfinance Network (EMN) was held, dedicated to the theme "Employment: Challenges and Opportunities for Microfinance".
As a result of all the work developed, Millennium bcp Microcredit approved 349 new operations, with 3,967 million euros of total credit granted, having helped to create 589 jobs. The volume of loans granted to the 1,017 operations in portfolio, as at 31 December 2014, stood at 11,121 million euros, with outstanding principal of 7,928 million euros.

Outstanding principal Number of operations
Companies registered in 2014 a negative net contribution of 116.5 million euros, which compares with the negative net contribution of 80.3 million euros posted in 2013, essentially due to the increase in the impairment charges and the decrease in net interest income.
Net interest income in 2014 stood at 119.5 million euros (129.1 million euros in 2013), reflecting the unfavourable context associated with historically low interest rates, together with the retraction in demand for credit, with the consequent impact in business volumes, in spite of the continued promotion of commercial initiatives aiming to support sustainable business plans.
The operating costs reduced 4.5%, from 66.5 million euros in 2013 to 63.5 million euros in the current year, reflecting the continued efforts to reduce costs, and in line with the objectives defined under the Strategic Plan, benefiting from the impact of operating efficiency improvement initiatives that have been implemented, namely the decrease in the number of employees together with the salary reduction carried out in the third quarter of 2014.
Impairment charges increased 18.0% compared with 2013 figures and totalled 284.3 million euros, refleting both the impact of the higher level of impairment charges associated with the AQR exercise, and the persistence of an adverse economic context to companies.
Loans to customers decreased 2.3%, compared to 2013, totalling 4,698 million euros at the end of 2014, reflecting the lower demand for credit influenced by the reduced demand for credit, in spite of the implemented initiatives focused in the offer of integrated product and services solutions aiming to support modernisation, internationalisation and competitiveness, with emphasis on the most productive sectors of the Portuguese economy.
Total customer funds amounted to 3,555 million euros as at 31 December 2014, increasing by 3.7% compared to December 2013 figures, to which contributed the evolution posted by customer deposits.

In 2014, the strategic priorities of the Companies Network were maintained:
Within the framework of the established strategy, the main objectives of the Companies Network in 2014 included the implementation of the following strategic vectors:
In order to achieve the objectives set out, the following main initiatives are worth noting:
Within a framework of improved economic momentum but still characterised by some correction of the real estate market - volumes, yields, sales values and rent pricing - Interfundos focused its strategy on restructuring operations, promoting commercial activity and optimisation of business.
In order to pursue this strategy, Interfundos promoted a series of initiatives, including:
By the end of 2014, the volume of assets of the 42 funds under management by Interfundos amounted to 1.5 billion euros, ensuring its market leadership with a share of 13%.
In 2014, 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 development of project restructuring solutions that guarantee their sustainability. Regarding real estate, these priorities consisted of reducing the time to market of the real estate assets and the stimulus and growth of sales. The following initiatives are also noteworthy:
Corporate & Investment Banking net contribution stood at 90.5 million euros in 2014, comparing favourably with 15.5 million euros recorded in 2013, essentially due to the decrease in the impairment charges.
Total income, which includes net interest income and net commissions, increased 1.2% in 2014, from previous year, benefiting from a net interest income increase of 3.8%.
In 2014 operating costs stood at 35.0 million euros, reducting 4,7% when compared with 2013 figures reflecting the cost reduction efforts, in line with the targets set in the Strategic Plan, benefiting from the impact of operating efficiency improvement initiatives that have been implemented, together with the salary reduction carried out in the third quarter of 2014.
Impairment charges in 2014 decreased 37.0%, when compared with the amount recorded in 2013, due to the high level of credit risk provisioning in 2013 and stood at 170.3 million euros.
As at 31 December 2014 loans to customer decreased by 12.4%, from the same date in 2013, to 6,938 million euros, influenced by the reduced demand for credit, in spite of the implemented initiatives focused in the offer of solutions aiming to support modernisation, internationalisation and competitiveness, with emphasis on the most productive sectors of the Portuguese economy.
Total customer funds stood at 7,611 million euros as at 31 December 2014, decreasing 13.4% from 8,792 million euros in 31 December 2013, mainly influenced by the reduction in institutional customer deposits.

The strategic priorities of the Corporate Network are centered on the following pillars of action:
In order to implement the strategic priorities indicated above, note should be made of the following initiatives implemented:
Strong commercial dynamics, with intensive use of the GPS (an application supporting the commercial activity), enabled a systematic planning of Customer visits and the identification

and pursuit of business opportunities, in the various business areas (financing, treasury, investment and internationalisation);
In 2014, the Investment Banking Coordination Division continued the implementation of the defined strategy with a specific focus on (i) the origination efforts, (ii) the reinforcement of the capacity to structure innovative solutions compatible with the current market context and the specificities of each geography and (iii) the maintenance of a relevant presence in major operations and with the major players of the markets covered.
The origination effort based on the Portugal – Angola – Mozambique – Brazil - Macau/China axis enabled (i) greater comprehensiveness, reinforcing the Investment Banking position in the capital/investor flows to the core markets (Portugal, Angola and Mozambique), (ii) adaptation of the capacity for intervention (expertise) in a wider context and (iii) the consequent development of solutions that leverage the intervention capacity of Customers in those markets.
In the area of Corporate Finance, the Bank participated in several relevant projects involving the provision of financial advisory services to its Customers and the Bank itself in dossiers involving the study, development and undertaking of MELA operations, company valuation, corporate restructuring and reorganisation processes, as well as the economic and financial analysis and study of projects.
Among the different work developed by Millennium investment banking during 2014, the following are worthy of mention:
The activity of the area of project finance was revitalised in 2014, largely as a result of its involvement in projects in Angola and Mozambique, in both the advisory and lending aspects. This area's action also focused on the monitoring and management of the outstanding finance project portfolio.
Millennium investment banking in the project finance segment was involved in various national and international operations, of which the following are noteworthy:
The Structured Finance Division has maintained high levels of activity in the provision of advisory services and in the structuring and negotiation of a relevant number of operations involving the major players in Angola and Mozambique, as well as in various new projects/opportunities in Portugal.
Particular note should be made of the involvement in various advisory projects on leadership of syndicated funding in various sectors of economic activity in Angola, namely in the agro-industrial, health, distribution, food and beverages sectors, as well as, in Mozambique, with specific emphasis (i) on the structuring of a loan facility for an infrastructure project integrated in the development plan of the Pemba oil & gas services center project (ii) and on a reconfiguration operation of the funding structure relative to a project related to Mozambique's ZEE.
In terms of debt markets there was a trend towards narrowing of the credit spreads of most Portuguese issuers throughout 2014, reflecting the improvement of the sentiment in international financial markets and the progressive consolidation of the expectations of the economic and financial recovery of Portugal. The combination of the narrowing of risk premia and the maintenance of euro indexed interest rates at historically low levels resulted in the fall in the yields of Portuguese debt securities, of both the state and the private sector, to levels close to those observed in 2013. In this market context, there was a significant appetite by investors for Portugal risk which enabled various bond issues with institutional placement in international markets to be carried out. Within the scope of these placements, the Bank acted as Joint Leader and Bookrunner of two EDP bond issues (650 million and 1 billion euros), an issue of Galp Energia (500 million euros) and an issue of Brisa Concessões Rodoviárias (300 million euros), having also led a private placement for the Teixeira Duarte Group. During this period, Millennium investment banking also maintained its presence in the segment of bond issues addressed to retail and was joint-leader of the public offering of FC Porto SAD bonds (20 million euros).
Over the same period, in 2014, the upturn in financing operations intensified, reflected in the contraction of a higher number of new Commercial Paper Programmes and to which the legislative change, which took place in the middle of the year, contributed, by eliminating the limit to the capacity of issuing from being determined by the equity level of companies, thus enabling access from a much vaster universe of companies to this form of financing. In this context, among the operations led by the Bank, note should be made of the following: Sonae Indústria (110 million euros), José de Mello Investimentos (108 million euros), Grupo Salvador Caetano (two programmes of a total amount of 70 million euros), the new operations of Celbi (100 million euros) and the Teixeira Duarte Group (55 million euros). The Bank organised another 31 operations, totalling about 140 million euros, with issuers such as Impresa Publishing, BA Vidro, NabeiroGest, Barraqueiro, Sapec Química and Alliance Healthcare, in addition to the renewal of the deadline of other Programmes.

Regarding shares, mention should be made of the role of the Bank in the Global Coordination of the operation to increase the share capital of Millennium bcp, conducted through a public subscription offer of approximately 2.25 billion euros, with reservation of preemptive rights for Shareholders. It was the largest public subscription offer conducted to date in Portugal, and was completed successfully in spite of particularly adverse market conditions. In November 2014, the Bank was Joint Overall Coordinator in the organisation and structuring of the share capital increase of Sonae Indústria of up to 150 million euros. Throughout the year, the Bank was Joint Bookrunner of placements conducted through accelerated bookbuilding of actions representing 2.6% of the capital of EDP (303.3 million euros), sold by José de Mello Energia, and 16.8% of shares representing the capital of Mota-Engil, SGPS (159.5 million euros), sold by the company itself and by its majority shareholder. The Bank also participated in the syndicates for the placement of the IPO of Espírito Santo Saúde and for the 2nd Privatisation Phase of REN, and also provided advisory services to Vinci Concessions Portugal on the squeeze-out aimed at full ownership of ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal.
The International Division, through its Financial Institutions Group, continued to pursue its objective of ensuring the best conditions, at correspondent banks, to guarantee the execution of international business operations in the foreign markets most sought by the Bank's Customers. To achieve this objective, the Bank maintained, throughout 2014, close proximity and permanent contacts with other financial institutions, which also contributed to the reinforcement of commercial lines and ceilings and of Treasury. At the same time, it sought to extend its activity to new markets in Africa and South America, thus meeting the needs of Customers with foreign business.
The Financial Institutions Group negotiated and contracted new credit lines, of a total of more than 300 million euros, with multilateral entities, to support foreign trade and company internationalisation.
To better serve its institutional Customers of custody of securities, the Financial Institutions Group widened its offer of a flexible and quality service with customised solutions, allowing for an increase in the portfolio and volume of commissions charged, and an increase to 49% of the Bank's market share relative to total assets under custody held by non-resident institutional investors in the national market.
In the wake of the restructuring of the area of Trade Finance undertaken in 2013, as a result of the Bank's commitment to international business, this segment registered growth of more than 20% in terms of the total amount of new operations in 2014. This evolution translated into an increase in the market shares of the main products of Trade Finance.
As main actions with internal and external visibility during the year, it is important to mention the holding of various events, throughout the country, where topics related to the Trade Finance business were discussed, as well as the promotion of the international factoring business and the launch of new products and services.
Through the teams of the Millennium Trade Solutions and the International Business Platform, the International Division continued to support the internationalisation process of companies that are our Customers, focusing on countries where the bank operates and other strategic markets, having identified and publicized business opportunities and promoted the multi-directional business between geographic areas.
Asset Management & Private Banking, in accordance with the geographic segmentation, recorded in the year of 2014 a net contribution of 10.5 million euros, comparing favourably with the negative net contribution of 2.7 million euros in the previous year. This performance was due to the rise in net interest income and to the increase showed by other net income.

Notes:
Customer funds and Loans to companies (net of recoveries) figures are on monthly average balances.
The increase in net interest income in 2014, when compared with 2013, was mostly influenced by the decrease in interest paid associated with the continued and sustained reduction of the interest rate of term deposits, despite the higher volume of deposits.
In 2014, other net income stood at 27.5 million euros increasing 28.6%, when compared with the previous year, mainly due to the sale of higher value-added products, in segments with high financial assets customers.
Operating costs stood at 15.6 million euros decreasing 4.6%, compared to the 16.4 million euros posted in 2013 reflecting the continued efforts to reduce costs in line with the targets set in the Strategic Plan, benefiting from the impact of operating efficiency improvement initiatives that have been implemented, namely the decrease in the number of employees together with the salary reduction carried out in the third quarter of 2014.
Loans to customers increased 2.7% at the end of 2014 from 31 December 2013, to 250 million euros.
Total customer funds as at 31 December 2014, went up by 17.6%, from 2013, to 4,947 million euros, influenced by the increase of assets under management and customer deposits.
On 7 October 2014, the Bank signed an agreement with the CIMD Group, relative to the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos – Sociedade Gestora de Fundos de Investimento, S.A., (MGA). The agreed price for the sale of the share capital of MGA was 15.75 million euros. The operation, subject to approval by the Supervisory Authorities, had an estimated positive impact on the consolidated capital ratios of BCP, i.e. an increase in the common equity tier 1 ratio, of 3 pp according to the phased-in criteria and of 4 pp on a fully-implemented basis. BCP thus took another step, before the stipulated deadline, towards fulfilling the agreement signed with the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission and the Portuguese authorities relative to BCP's restructuring, in line with its strategic plan.
The activity of the Private Banking Network in 2014 was guided by the following strategic priorities:
The objectives set out aimed to:
The following strategic initiatives are noteworthy:
Net contribution of the Foreign Business, in accordance with the geographic segmentation, stood at 289.4 million euros in 2014, comparing favourably with 237.2 million euros in 2013 essencially due to net interest income performance.
Net interest income in 2014 increased 21.5%, compared with 2013 stood at 562.7 million euros, reflecting both, the reduction in the cost of customer deposits and the increase in customer deposits and loans to customers volumes, supported by the operations in Poland, Angola and Mozambique.
Operating costs showed in 2014 an increase of 3.9%, compared to 2013, influenced by the increase in advertising expenses in Poland and the impact of the expansion plans underway in the subsidiary companies in Angola and Mozambique.
As at 31 December 2014, loans to customers rose 7.3%, from 31 December 2013, to 12,936 million euros, boosted by the evolutions in the subsidiaries in Poland, in Angola and in Mozambique, both on loans to individuals and loans to companies.
As at 31 December 2014, total customer funds rose 4.5%, from 31 December 2013, reached 16,858 million euros boosted by the growth in balance sheet customer funds, namely in customer deposits as a result of the favourable performance reached especially in Mozambique, Angola and Poland.

The financial information presented is related to the figures included in the financial statements in IFRS, prepared by the entities.
In 2014 Bank Millennium continued to implement its strategy for 2013-2015, announced in October 2012. Its main guidelines included the rebalancing of the business model and seeking to increase productivity while at the same time maintaining capital discipline. The strategy focused on the sale of products that generate higher margins and on the increase of the Bank's presence in corporate banking. The improvement of sales efficiency and maintenance of efficiency through cost discipline continued to be the main priorities. Taking into consideration changing Customer trends with regard to banking, the bank developed capabilities in the digital area which will prove fruitful in the future.
The main initiatives, for the purposes of implementing the Bank's strategy, included improving both the assets and liabilities side of the balance sheet. During 2014, the Bank continued to focus on the action plans to promote the concession of consumer credit and loans to companies. At the same time, the bank developed CRM capabilities, with a positive impact in terms of sales efficiency. The Bank prepares itself for future challenges by investing in its multichannel platform, also reinforcing the online and mobile banking areas, for both Companies and Retail, and has also revised its branch structure and formats in order to improve efficiency and adapt them to Customer trends. The high quality service and an exceptional experience in the relationship between Customers and the bank continue to be strategically important.
The Bank Millennium group consistently implemented its strategy, which was reflected in the results achieved in 2014. Regarding the first priority, consumer credit reached record sales in 2014 of 2.1 billion zlotys, corresponding to a 22% growth of this portfolio in 2014. Regarding the second priority, loans to companies increased by 13% year-on-year. This growth contributed to a gradual increase of the weights of these credits in the total portfolio, from 25% in October 2012 to 29% in December 2014, thus achieving the strategic objectives defined for 2015. The good performance in loans to companies was underpinned by the maintenance of one of the best positions in the Polish market in terms of leasing and factoring.
Customer funds increased 4.8% year-on-year as at December 2014, with a more marked increase (above 10%) in retail deposits. Loans to customers increased by 5.6% relative to December 2013.
The implementation of all of the main strategic initiatives enabled the bank to improve its productivity and efficiency, according to the medium and long-term objectives. Net income achieved an historical maximum of 155.2 million euros (651 million zlotys), an increase of 21.5% relative to 2013. Core income was the main contributing factor to this result, with net interest

2012 2013 2014 Loans to companies Consumer credit Mortgage loans
income having increased by 19.2%, in spite of the negative impact associated to the fall in market interest rates in Poland from the 4th quarter of 2014 onwards. On the other hand, there was also a very tight control of operating costs, which increased by a mere 2.0% in 2014. As a result, the cost-to-income ratio fell by 4 percentage points in 2014, reaching the 50% target established for 2015.
The improvement of the Bank's results was accompanied by the maintenance of a conservative capital base and liquidity position. The loan-to-deposit ratio over the last two years remained below 100% and the Capital Adequacy Ratio increased to 15.2%. The strong asset quality and capitalisation indicators were confirmed in the AQR and stress tests undertaken in 2014 by the ECB and the EBA, respectively.

The Bank completed, on 8 January 2015, the sale of Banca Millennium (BMR), a greenfield operation launched in Romania in 2007, to OTP Bank. BCP received from OTP Bank on that date 39 million euros of the total price agreed for the sale. OTP Bank also ensured the full repayment to BCP of the funding it granted to BMR of approximately 150 million euros. The operation had a negligible impact on the consolidated common equity tier 1 ratio of BCP. The sale of BMR anticipated another important measure BCP had agreed to with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission, within the scope of the restructuring plan.
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.
In 2014, the bank maintained its strategic focus on the attraction of new Customers, based on synergies with the Group's various institutions; having at the same time reinforced the commercial areas, leveraging its current operational infrastructure.
Assets under management increased by 8%, reaching more than 3.0 billion CHF in December 2014, as a result of an increase in subscriptions and the increase in the market value of the portfolio of assets under

TOTAL CUSTOMER FUNDS Excluding FX effect
During 2014, the Bank maintained its strategy of risk reduction by increasing the diversification of assets used as loan collateral. The ratio of loans to assets under management decreased by 8.5%, to a level that is currently below the average level in the private banking industry.
Operating net income increased by 17% (excluding FX effect), in spite of the decrease in net interest income arising from the low interest rate environment, essentially reflecting the evolution of commissions, which increased in line with the growth of assets under management, with higher transaction volumes and the change in the composition of the services offered to Customers, particularly with respect to discretionary management.
The growth of operating costs by 8% (excluding FX effect) is associated to the increase of staff costs, which increases 10%.
As a result, the bank recorded an increase of 17.0% (excluding FX effect) in net income for 2014, which stood at 7.2 million euros, compared to 6.1 million euros recognised in 2013.

Millennium bcp's presence in Macau goes back to 1993, initially through an off-shore license until 2010 and, subsequently, through a full license.
Throughout 2014 the Branch focused primarily on the provision of services to the Bank's networks through support to companies and individual Customers, the attraction of Chinese Customers for the "Golden Visa", the extension of the local Customer base and the expansion of the activity surrounding the China - Macau - Portuguese-speaking countries platform.
Among the various initiatives adopted to accomplish the objectives, we highlight the following:
In 2014, customer deposits stood at 1,194 million euros, which represented, in MOP, a reduction of 3.8%, compared to the same period of 2013 (+9.2% in euros) and loans to customers drecreased by 10.2%, in MOP (+2.0% in euros) to 900 million euros.
Net income stood at 21.3 million euros (+1.0% in MOP and +14.7% in euros), and was positively influenced by the improvement in net interest income (+2.6% in MOP) and by the recognition of deferred income relative to the early payment of loans.
Millennium bcp Bank & Trust, with head office in the Cayman Islands, holds a category "B" banking license, and provides international banking services to Customers that are not resident in Portugal. The Cayman Islands are considered a cooperating jurisdiction by the Bank of Portugal.
Millennium bcp Bank & Trust reported net income of 7.9 million euros in 2014, lower than the 11.4 million euros recorded in 2013, due to the unfavourable performance of net interest income, mainly associated with the reduction in the volumes of deposits (net) with credit institutions, and to net trading income, in spite of the lower levels of credit impairment, resulting from the appreciation of collateral, and due to the positive contribution of commissions and operating costs.

The year of 2014 was marked by a major change in the shareholder structure of some of the major insurance groups with operations in Portugal, with more than 40% of the market having been affected by these movements. Millennium bcp also took part in this shareholder change process with the sale to Ageas, at the end of the first half of 2014, of a 49% shareholding in the non-life business of Millenniumbcp Ageas. It continues to be, however, the main distributor of non-life and health insurance products for Ocidental Seguros and Médis. In terms of life insurance, Millennium bcp maintained the 49% shareholding in Millenniumbcp Ageas in partnership with Ageas, also supported by a long-term distribution agreement.
The strategic agenda outlined three years ago for the insurance business, designated as Vision 2015, with the objective of repositioning the business model, adapting it to the new market reality and assuring its future development, perfomed well in 2014, having consolidated current results.
Vision 2015 is underpinned by 6 strategic options: 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.
In terms of life insurance, with a production of 1.35 billion euros it was possible to maintain the position of leadership in terms of mathematical provisions with a volume of 9.6 billion euros and a market share of 22.5%. The strong operating performance and technical solidity of the Life operation enabled the generation of an important contribution of 35.8 million euros of net income for Millennium bcp, associated with a strong capacity to generate dividends.
In the Non-life business, the strong focus of the commercial networks of Millennium bcp permitted an increase in production above 5%, reinforcing the position of Millennium bcp as leader in the distribution of non-life insurance in the bancassurance channel with a market share of 33.3%. This performance is all the more significant considering that the non-life insurance market decreased by -0.2%. It is important to mention the strong growth of the Automobile, Médis and Multirisk products, considered strategic for the networks of Millennium bcp.

At the end of 2014, the pension liabilities assumed by the Group, namely related with the payment to employees of pensions on retirement or disability, were fully funded and kept at a higher level than the minimum set by the Bank of Portugal, presenting a coverage rate of 110%, comparing with 112% at the end of 2013.
Pensions' liabilities totalled 3,133 million euros as at 31 December 2014, showing an increase of 599 million euros from previous year's amount of 2,533 million euros, namely reflecting the impact of 1.5% decrease in the discount rate accounted in 2014.
In 2014, the Pension Fund recorded a positive rate of return of 8.1%, comparing favourably to previous year's rate of 4.4% and to the assumed actuarial rate of 4.0%.
The main asset categories in the structure of the Pension Fund, at the end of 2013 and of 2014, were as follows:

In order to evaluate the reasonableness of the Pension Fund's actuarial assumptions as at 31 December 2014, the Bank considered adequate to use the following actuarial assumptions:
The assumptions used to determine the pension fund's liabilities in 2012, 2013 and 2014 are shown below:
| Assumptions | ´12 | ´13 | ´14 |

The modification of the actuarial assumptions in 2014 contributed to negative actuarial differences of 574 million euros which, combined with other financial and non-financial actuarial differences, resulted in a total of 477 million euros of actuarial differences, that negatively affected the Bank's capital ratios in 2014.
The main indicators of the Pension Fund as at the end of 2012, 2013 and 2014 are as follows:

The general improvement in macroeconomic conditions, namely with respect to the progress in public deficit reduction combined with the recovery of the economy, with GDP growing 1.0% (estimate) yearon-year, in 2014; alongside the return to the funding markets, the intention of the Portuguese government to repay ahead of schedule part of the funding obtained from the IMF and the positive impact of the economic stimulus programme announced by the ECB, should be perceived as positive by the rating agencies. However, challenges still remain, in connection with further progress on fiscal consolidation and the strengthening of the economic recovery.
The financial system in Portugal is embarking on a new consolidation phase, as a result of the takeover bid for Banco BPI launched by CaixaBank and the sale of Novo Banco, which may have ratings implications for Portuguese banks. The long-term senior debt and deposits rating will also be conditioned by the implementation of the Banking Resolution and Recovery Directive.
During 2014, various rating actions were pursued by the different rating agencies:

Risk Management
The Group's Risk Management System continued to be strengthened and consolidated throughout 2014, both regarding the mechanisms for control and monitoring of the multiple risks that affect its activities and in what concerns risks assessment at different levels.
The Group's Risk Management System is part of the Internal Control System - along with the Internal Audit and Compliance functions – in order to provide a solid control environment in which the Group conducts its business, through the internal instruments, metrics and internal control standards that are adequate for the magnitude and materialisation frequency of the risks involved.
The main Risk Management activities and interventions in 2014, as well as various relevant accomplishments towards the strengthening and improvement of the Group's Risk Management System, are summarised as follows:
The governance of risk management is composed of various bodies, as illustrated in the following diagram:

The next 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).
The Risk Assessment Committee is composed of three non-executive members of the Board of Directors and has the following capacities:
The Group Risk Officer participates in this body's meetings, reporting the evolution of the main indicators and metrics concerning risks and credit impairment, as well as all implications, changes and evolutions concerning the Risk Management System.
The Audit Committee is composed of 3 to 5 non-executive members of the Board of Directors. Within the risk management governance, this body stands out for its corporate global monitoring and supervising capacities (e.g. in what concerns the follow-up of the risk levels), as well as for its capacities related with the Internal Control System:
The Group Risk Officer usually participates in this body's regular meetings, reporting the evolution of the main indicators and metrics concerning risks and credit impairment, as well as the resolution status of the internal control recommendations that concern the Risk Management System.
This Commission is responsible, at an executive level, for monitoring the overall levels of credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, ensuring its compatibility with the objectives, available financial resources and strategies that have been approved for the development of the Group's activity.
This Commission includes all of the members of the Executive Committee, the Group Risk Officer, the Compliance Officer and the Heads of the following divisions: Internal Audit; Treasury and Markets; Research, Planning and ALM; Credit; and Rating.
This body has the following duties and responsibilities:
This Sub-commission includes all the members of the Executive Committee, the Group Risk Officer and Heads of the following divisions: Credit; Rating; Specialised Recovery; Specialised Monitoring; Retail Recovery; Real Estate Business; Litigation; Management Information; Corporate Products Marketing and Corporate Clients Marketing.
The mission of this specialised Sub-commission is the monitoring of the performance and risk of BCP's Pension Fund and the establishment of adequate investment policies and its respective hedging strategies.
This Sub-commission is composed of the Chairman of the Executive Committee, the Executive Committee members responsible for the financial and insurance areas, the Group Risk Officer and the Heads of the Research, Planning and ALM and of the Human Resources divisions. The entities linked to the management of the Pension Fund (Millennium bcp Ageas, Pensõesgere and F&C) are also represented, through permanent invitation.
The Group CALCO is responsible for the management of the Group's overall capital, for assets and liabilities management and for the definition of liquidity management strategies at a consolidated level. Specifically, the Group CALCO (also referred to as the Commission for the Planning and Allocation of Capital and Asset and Liability Management) is responsible for the structural management of interest rate and liquidity risks, including, among others, the following aspects:
The Group CALCO is composed of all the members of the Executive Committee, the Group Risk Officer and Heads of the following divisions: Research, Planning and ALM; Corporate; Management Information; Corporate Products Marketing; Corporate Clients Marketing; Retail Marketing; Treasury and Markets; International Strategic Research (through invitation). Other elements may be invited to participate in the Group CALCO meetings, depending on the matters addressed.
The Group Risk Officer is responsible for the risk control function for all Group entities. Thus, 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 to 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 duties include:
The Group Risk Officer is appointed by the Board of Directors and supports the work of the Risk Commission and its sub-commissions.
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.
The highlights on the activities that were developed along 2014 to strengthen the practices of credit risk assessment, monitoring and control, in the different segments of the portfolio, are:
In 2014 the Bank continued its balance-sheet deleveraging, with an exposure (Exposure at Default - EAD) reduction of around 7 800 million between 31 December 2014 and 2013. In the other main countries where the Group operates, there was an increase in the loans portfolio, as a result of the Group's business growth in those countries.

| PT+PL+AO+MZ | 70,888 | 76,994 | -6,106 | -7.9% |
The following charts present the breakdown by exposure segment of the loan portfolio, as at 31 December 2014, in these four countries:


In Portugal there was a slight increase in the weight of the Retail segments, along with a decrease in the weight of the "Sovereigns and banks" and "Corporate" segments (the EAD of which was reduced by 6 650 millions of Euros). In Poland, the growth of the portfolio did not lead to a relevant change in the segments' weights distribution.
In what concerns the portfolio quality, as measured by the internal risk grades of the debtors in Portugal and Poland, in terms of their EAD, the situation was the following (as at 31 December 2014):

When compared with the situation in the previous year, these risk grade weights show a moderate increase on the portfolio global quality: high and medium quality attained 59,6%, against 56,2% in 31 December 2013. In what concerns the portfolio corresponding to procedural risk grades, there was a slight decrease in quality (22,3% by the end of 2014, against 21,2% by the end of 2013).
Main credit risk indicators

There was a relatively stable evolution of the non-performing loans, even if with a slight increase verified for Portugal and Angola.
Regarding the loss parameters (LGD), the average values by exposure segment in Portugal, arising from the calculation of regulatory capital (as at 31 December 2014) and based on the estimates determined through the losses that effectively occurred (i.e. loan recovery data), are presented in the following chart:

The values relative to credit concentration as at 31 December 2014, measured by the weight of the 20 largest net exposures, excluding Banks and Sovereign, over the value of consolidated Own Funds (COF) 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 | 8.2% | 1.7% |
| Group 2 | 7.6% | 1.6% |
| Group 3 | 3.6% | 0.8% |
| Group 4 | 3.3% | 0.7% |
| Group 5 | 3.1% | 0.6% |
| Group 6 | 2.5% | 0.5% |
| Group 7 | 2.5% | 0.5% |
| Group 8 | 2.2% | 0.4% |
| Group 9 | 2.1% | 0.4% |
| Group 10 | 2.0% | 0.4% |
| Group 11 | 1.8% | 0.4% |
| Group 12 | 1.8% | 0.4% |
| Group 13 | 1.8% | 0.4% |
| Group 14 | 1.8% | 0.4% |
| Group 15 | 1.7% | 0.3% |
| Group 16 | 1.7% | 0.3% |
| Group 17 | 1.6% | 0.3% |
| Group 18 | 1.6% | 0.3% |
| Group 19 | 1.4% | 0.3% |
| Group 20 | 1.4% | 0.3% |
| Total | 53.5% | 11.1% |
Regarding the total weight of these exposures on the overall exposure (EAD), the figure of 11.1% compares to 11.0% by the end of 2013, demonstrating stability of the credit concentration levels. In terms of the weight of these 20 largest net exposures over the COF amount, the increase observed for this concentration indicator (which reached 46.5% in December 2013) is, mainly, a result of the contraction verified for the COF.
Operational risk consists in 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, such as: functions' segregation; lines of responsibility and respective authorisations; exposure definition and tolerance limits; ethical codes and codes of conduct; risks self-assessment (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, a highlight is made on the following actions and initiatives carried out in 2014, in Portugal and at the Group's main subsidiaries:
governance framework of operational risk, aiming at a greater involvement of the organisational units (as a complement to the processes structure);
The strengthening of the partnership with ORX (Operational Riskdata eXchange Association), through the participation in working groups and studies promoted by the association, as well as through the sharing of a first set of historical data on operational losses.
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 its 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.
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 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 reduce its respective frequency or severity (or both).
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).

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 identified events in which the losses, effective or potential, exceed the defined materiality limits (for each geographical area) are characterised by the process owners and process managers of processes to which the losses are related. Besides the description of the respective cause-effect, this characterisation 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 by 31 December 2014 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).

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).
100.000
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 the 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.
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 of organisational units, and then analysed by the Risk Commission and authorised by the Executive Committee.
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 risks quantification and control, the following management areas are defined for each entity of the Group:
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.
Throughout 2014, the internal control framework of market risks was strengthened and developed in accordance with recommendations issued by the Banco de Portugal. These tasks focused on the calculation of capital requirements for FX risk (Standardised Approach), as well as on the quality control of market data used in the Value-at-risk (VaR) model to measure generic market risk. Special reference should be made to:
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).
* Positions allocated to the Negotiation Management Area (and not necessarily belonging to the accounting Trading Book).
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, 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.
The following table presents the values at risk measured by the methodologies referred to above, for the trading book, between 31 December 2013 and 2014:

In 2014, the Group's trading book risk remained at materially low levels, in spite of some market volatility which continued to be 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 in 2014, divided into its 3 risk components, highlighting the primary influence of interest rate risk, especially during the first quarter.

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.
In this context, it should be noted that the exercise of hypothetical back-testing of the VaR model for 2014 (trading book) - which compares the values recorded for VaR with the hypothetical results of the model used - resulted in only 1 excess value (relative to the results predicted by the model), which represents a frequency of 0.39% in 252 days of observation. It is thus concluded that the model is adequate for the purpose of assessing the risks at stake.
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 2014, were as follows:
| Millions of Euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| Tested scenarios | Negative results scenario | Result |
| Parallel shift of the yield curve by +/- 100 bps | + 100 b.p. | -6.2 |
| Change in the slope of the yield curve | + 25 b.p. | -0.4 |
| (for maturities from 2 to 10 years) by +/- 25 bps | ||
| + 100 b.p. and + 25 b.p |
-6.5 | |
| 4 possible combinations of the previous 2 scenarios | + 100 b.p. and - 25 b.p. |
-5.8 |
| Variation in the main stock market indices by +/- 30% | -30% | -1.6 |
| Variation in foreign exchange rates (against the euro) by +/- 10% | ||
| for the main currencies and by +/- 25% for other currencies | -10%, -25% | -1.5 |
| Variation in swap spreads by +/- 20 bps | - 20 b.p. | -1.2 |
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 slope of the yield curve. This sensitivity of the trading book to interest rate risk is in line with the sensivity observed at the end of 2013.
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 2014 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 + 87 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 already identified.
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 2014, 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 16.6% of the VaR of this portfolio, as at 31 December 2014.
Liquidity risk reflects the Group's potential inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring in significant losses, arising from the deterioration of funding conditions (funding risk) and/or sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).
The Bank proceeded with its Funding and Capital Plan, diversifying its funding sources through the increased use of short-term loans contracted with international financial institutions. On the other hand, market conditions allowed for resuming the financing through the wholesale funding market (WSF) sooner than expected, by means of a 3-year term senior debt issue of 500 million euros.
In what concerns the funding structure, 5,269 million Euros of medium-long term debt were repaid (compared to planned total of 3,417 million Euros), including the early redemption of 2,250 million Euros of hybrid capital instruments ("CoCos"), underwritten by the Portuguese State.
Notwithstanding the refinancing of medium-long term debt, it was possible to reduce the net funding by the Eurosystem by 3,340 million Euros, due to several factors: the sustained reduction of the Bank's commercial gap (in Portugal), the capital increase in July 2014, the decrease of the Public Debt portfolio, the above mentioned issuance of senior debt and the use of other funding sources.

| TOTAL | 100.0% | 100.0% | - |
The following table illustrates the wholesale funding structure, as at 31 December 2013 and 2014, in terms of the relative importance of each instrument used:
In the annual evolution of the funding structure, emphasis is given to the reduction of the weight of hybrid capital instruments ("CoCos") - due to the early repayment already mentioned - and the increase in the weight of instruments with repurchase agreement; in the latter case, the increase in their relative importance is due to the market appetite towards the Portuguese Republic's debt, which was marked along 2014.
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.
As for the portfolio of assets eligible for discount with the Eurosystem, their active management, associated with a material reduction of the Bank's funding needs, enabled for the maintenance of the liquidity buffer at comfortable levels (7,588 million Euros on 31 December 2014), even after the early redemption - with a favourable impact on results - of all issues with State guarantee that were included in the pool of these instruments (amounting to 3,160 million Euros, after haircuts). The evolution of the portfolio of discountable collateral is illustrated by the following chart:

(*) Total portfolio (includes used and not used assets, as well as the amounts temporaruly out of the pool (until June 2014)
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 2014, 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 structural liquidity profile through the regular monitoring of a set of indicators defined both internally and by regulation, intended to characterise the liquidity risk, such as the loansto-deposits ratio (109% as at 31 December 2014), the medium-term liquidity gaps and wholesale markets funding coverage ratios by highly liquid assets (HLA).
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, also establishing 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 includes an early warning system designed to anticipate the occurrence of any capital and liquidity crisis, combining 32 indicators related to liquidity, capital, asset quality and other material risks for the Group. Under this warning system, the quantification of this composite indicator is conducted weekly and its evolution is monitored by the Group CALCO, the Research, Planning and ALM Division, as well as by the Group Treasurer and the Group Risk Officer.
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 2014, the Pension Fund recorded a time-weighted return (TWR) of 8.14% (corresponding to a gross effective annual rate of 8.39%), net of management and deposit commissions. This was due to the good performance of the equities' holdings (both domestic and international) and of the fixed rate assets that benefited from lower yields in Europe and the compression of spreads in the domestic market.
The Models Audit and Validation Unit is responsible for monitoring and ensuring the independent validation of the credit and market risk models. The validation and monitoring of models also involves other bodies, such as: the model owners, the rating system owners, the Validation Committee and the Risk Commission.
Along 2014, 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, for models used in Portugal.
Within this scope, the most significant models are the Probability of Default models (PD) – applied to the Small, Mid, and Large Corporate (for the Corporate risk class), the Small Businesses and the Mortgage models (for the Retail risk class) and the Loss Given Default (LGD) models.
The follow-up and validation of models also aim at monitoring and increasing the knowledge about their quality, in order to strengthen the timely reaction capacity to changes in their predictive powers, ensuring confidence concerning the use and performance of the implemented risk models and systems.
The Group's portfolio does not have any material investments in complex financial products.
The Group carries out transactions with derivatives mainly to hedge structured products for Customers (guaranteed capital and other products), risks stemming from the Bank's day-to-day business, 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 2014, the Group's net exposure to Portuguese sovereign debt was 4.7 billion euros, net exposure to Italian sovereign debt was 50 million euros and net exposure to Spanish sovereign debt was 45 million euros. Of the total of 7.6 billion euros of consolidated public debt, 486 million euros was recorded under the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and 7.1 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 2014. 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.
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:
In order to achieve these objectives, the Internal Control System is based on the Compliance function, the Risk Management function and 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 function at stake.
The Internal Control System is based on:
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 risk 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 the behaviour and prospective evolution of relevant markets.
The financial information process is supported 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 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 boards.
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 activity of the Risk Office 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 Department 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:

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 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, 2014 and 2013.
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 17 April 2015 by the Bank's Board of Directors. 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 year ended 31 December, 2014 were prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the EU and effective on that date.
The Group has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2014, 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, with the changes arising from the adoption of the following standards: IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities, mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2014.
IFRS 10 revoked part of IAS 27- Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 and introduced a new single model of control which determines when an investment should be consolidated. This new model is focus on whether the entity has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns (de facto control).
In accordance with the transitional provisions of IRFS 10, the Group reassessed the control over its investments at 1 January, 2013, and no impact was determined as a result of this reassessment.
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 changes introduce by IFRS 11 did not have any impact in the measurement of assets and liabilities of the Group.
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's financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the application of fair value for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets available for sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are 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).
As from 1 January, 2010, the Group applied IFRS 3 (revised) for the accounting of business combinations. The changes in the accounting policies resulting from the application of IFRS 3 (revised) are applied prospectively.
The consolidated financial statements now presented reflect the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Bank and its subsidiaries (the Group), and the results attributable to the Group financial investments in associates.
Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group (including structure entities and investment funds). The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity (de facto control). The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Accumulated losses are attributed to non-controlling interests in the respective proportion, implying that the Group can recognise negative non-controlling interests.
On a step acquisition process resulting in the acquisition of control, the revaluation of any participation previously acquired, is booked against the profit and loss account when goodwill is calculated. On a partial disposal resulting in loss of control over a subsidiary, any participation retained is revaluated at market value on the sale date and the gain or loss resulting from this revaluation is booked against the income statement.
Investments in associated companies are consolidated by the equity method from the date that the Group acquires significant influence until the date it ceases to exist. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence but not control over the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. It is assumed that the Group has significant influence when it holds, directly or indirectly, 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:
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.
Business combinations are accounted under the purchase method. The acquisition cost corresponds to the fair value, determined at the acquisition date, of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed.
Costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a subsidiary are booked directly in the income statement.
Positive goodwill arising from acquisitions is recognised as an asset carried at acquisition cost and is not subject to amortisation.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates is defined as the difference between the cost of acquisition and the total or corresponding share of the fair value of the net assets and contingent liabilities acquired, depending on the option taken.
Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised directly in the income statement in the year the business combination occurs.
The recoverable amount of the goodwill 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.
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.
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 noncontrolling 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.
Onwards, in an acquisition (dilution) of non-controlling interests not resulting in a loss of control, the difference between the fair value of the noncontrolling interests acquired and the acquisition value, is accounted against reserves.
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.
Regarding the investments in foreign operations that are consolidated under the full consolidation or equity methods, for exchange differences between the conversion to Euros of the opening 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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
(i) Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement
1) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss
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 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.
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.
The financial assets held-to-maturity include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, for which the Group has the intention and ability to maintain until the maturity of the assets and that were not included in 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, or if it is not framed in the exceptions stated by the rules, will require the Group to reclassify the entire portfolio as Financial assets available for sale and the Group will not be allowed to classify any assets under this category for the following two years.
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.
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.
At each balance sheet date, an assessment is made of the existence of objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment resulting from one or more events that occurred after its initial recognition, such as: (i) for listed securities, a prolonged devaluation or a significant decrease in its quoted price, and (ii) for unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be estimated reasonably. According to the Group's policies, 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.
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).
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.
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:
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, as well as changes in currency risk of the monetary items.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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
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).
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.
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 measurement of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value less costs to sell. In case of unrealised losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.
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.
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, the following aspects are considered:
Interest income for overdue loans with collaterals are accounted for as income, up to the limit of the valuation of the collateral on a prudent basis, in accordance with IAS 18, assuming that there is a reasonable probability of recoverability; and
The interests accrued and not paid for overdue loans for more than 90 days that are not covered by collaterals are written-off and are recognised only when received, in accordance with IAS 18, on the basis that its recoverability is considered to be remote.
For derivative financial instruments, except those classified as hedging instruments of interest rate risk, the interest component is not separated from the changes in the fair value and is classified under Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities. For hedging derivatives of interest rate risk and those related to financial assets or financial liabilities recognised in the Fair Value Option category, the interest component 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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 pension's 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 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.
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 2014, the Group has two defined contribution plans. One plan covers employees who were hired before 1 July, 2009. For this plan, called non-contributory, Group's contributions will be made annually and equal to 1% of the annual remuneration paid to employees in the previous year. Contributions shall only be made if the following requirements are met: (i) the Bank's ROE equals or exceeds the rate of government bonds of 10 years plus 5 percentage points, and (ii) distributable profits or reserves exist in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.
The other plan covers employees who have been hired after 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.
As at 31 December 2014 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, whenever it is attributed.
This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the year to which it relates.
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.
The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating segments. An operating 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:
Foreign activity
Considering the commitment agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp) on the Bank's Restructuring Plan, in particular the implementation of a new approach to the asset management business, and according to IFRS 5, the activity of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos was classified as discontinued operations during 2013, with the impact on results of these operations from this data onwards presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "income arising from discontinued operations". At the consolidated balance sheet level, the assets, liabilities and results of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos continue to be consolidated under the full method of consolidation, as it was considered in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013.
Additionally, following the sale of the total shareholding in Banca Millennium in Romania, this subsidiary was classified as discontinued operation as at 31 December 2014, with the impact on results of its operation presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "Income arising from discontinued operations", as at 2013 and 2014. However, at the consolidated balance sheet level, considering that the sale transaction was completed during the preparation of the 2014 financial statements and that the conditions for its derecognition were met, the assets and liabilities of Banca Millennium in Romania are not considered as at 31 December 2014, whereas as at 31 December 2013 there was no change in the criteria considered in the consolidated financial statements. Banca Millennium 2014´s results were fully appropriated by the Group.
Taking into account the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, concluded on 19 June 2013, Millennium bank in Greece was classified as a discontinued operation, during 2013, and the results obtained till that date presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "Income arising from discontinued operations".
The aggregate Others includes the activity not allocated to the segments mentioned above, namely the developed by subsidiaries in Switzerland and Cayman Islands.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the Autoridade de Supervisão de Seguros e Fundos de Pensões (Portuguese Insurance Regulation) to practice the activity of insurance intermediation in the category of Online Insurance Broker, in accordance with Article 8., Paragraph a), point i) of Decree-Law n. º 144/2006, of July 31, developing the activity of insurance intermediation in life and non-life.
Within the insurance intermediation services, the banks perform the sale of insurance contracts. As compensation for services rendered for insurance intermediation, 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 intermediation 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.
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.
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, 30% of depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1 year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.
In addition, valuations are generally obtained through market quotation or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the consolidated income statement of the Group.
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 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.
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.
For the purposes of determining entities to include in the consolidation perimeter, the Group assess whether it is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns from its involvement with the entity (de facto control).
The decision if an entity needs to be consolidated by the Group requires the use of judgment, estimates and assumptions to determine what extend the Group is exposed to the variable returns and its ability to use its power to affect those returns.
Different estimates and assumptions could lead the Group to a different scope of consolidation perimeter with a direct impact in net income.
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.
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.
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.
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 each of these captions, whereby the 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.
As mentioned in note 58, the balance Variable income - investment fund units includes the amount of Euros 1,267,071,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 1,040,178,000) related to participation units of funds specialized in recovery loans, acquired under the sale of loans and advances to customers (net of impairment). The amount of Euros 35,441,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 34,610,000) refers to junior tranches (bonds with a more subordinated nature), which are fully provided. The instruments are valued according to the quotations published by Funds Management Companies.
No reclassifications of financial assets were made during 2014 and 2013.
During 2014 reclassifications were made from level 2 to level 1 in the amount of Euros 79,419,000 related to securities that became complied with the requirements of this level, as described in note 49.
The instruments classified as level 3 have associated gains and unrealized losses in the amount of Euros 25,088,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 1,502,000) recorded in fair value reserves.
The amount of impairment associated to these securities amounts to Euros 152,109,000 as at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: Euros 71,950,000) and were not generated capital gains or losses in the year. Were not made transfers to and from this level .
The assets included in level 3, in the amount of Euros 1,337,637,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 1,106,098,000) corresponds to units of closed-ended investment funds valued in accordance with 'Net assets attributable to unit holders' (NAV) quote 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. It 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 133,764,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 110,609,000) in Equity (Fair value reserves).
The reclassifications performed in prior years until 31 December 2014, are analysed as follows:

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.
For the hedging relationships which comply with the hedging requirements of IAS 39, the Group adopts 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 positive amount of Euros 9,240,000 (31 December 2013: negative amount of Euros 8,200,000) and the hedging relationships that follow the cash flows model recorded ineffectiveness for the period of a negative amount of Euros 2,373,000 (31 December 2013: negative amount of Euros 2,286,000).
In 2014 and 2013 no reclassifications were made from fair value reserves to results, related to cash flow hedge relationships.
The accumulated adjustment on financial risks covered performed on the assets and liabilities which includes hedged items is analysed as follows:

According to the accounting policy described in note 1 b), the recoverable amount of the Goodwill is annually assessed in the second semester of each year, 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 2014, valuations of their investments for which there is goodwill materially relevant 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.
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 2019. After that date, a perpetuity was considered based on the average long-term expected rate of return for this activity in the Polish market. 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 2015 to 2019, considering, along this period, a compound annual growth rate of 6.6% for Total Assets and of 7.5% for Total Equity, while considering a ROE evolution from 11.5% in 2014 to 14.2% by the end of the period. Regarding 2013, the plan comprised 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 4.2875 (December 2014 average: 4.235). In 2013, the rate was 4.17 (December 2013 average).
The Cost of Equity considered was 8.875% for the period 2015-2019 and 9.85% in perpetuity. The annual growth rate in perpetuity (g) was 0%. In 2013, the Cost of Equity considered was 10.625% and the annual growth rate in perpetuity (g) was 0%.
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.
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 2019 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 booked in Banco Comercial Português.
The business plan and estimates for such business unit comprises a five-year period, from 2015 to 2019, considering, along this period, a compound annual growth rate from 2014 to 2019 of -5.5% for Total Assets and of -4.1% for the Allocated Capital and an average ROE evolution from 13.5% estimated for 2015 to 17.3% by the end of the period. Regarding 2013, the plan comprised 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 9.00% for the period 2015-2019 and 10.85% in perpetuity. In 2013, the Cost of Equity considered was 12.125% for the period 2014-18 and 11.225% in perpetuity.
An average exit multiple of 1.50x was considered in relation to 2019 Allocated Capital, applied to the group of businesses associated with Real estate and mortgage business.

In accordance with the accounting policy and with the requirements of IAS 12, the deferred tax assets were recognized based on the Group's expectation of the their recoverability. The assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets was performed for each entity included in the consolidation perimeter based on the respective business plans approved by the Board of Directors for the period 2015-2019.
The estimated financial statements of the Group prepared under the budget procedure for 2015 and that supports the future taxable income relating to each Group entity, took into account the macroeconomic and competitive environment while consolidate the Group's strategic priorities.
The Group's business plan considers particularly the sustained growth of profitability and the reimbursement of all hybrid financial instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State (CoCos), and embodies the objectives set in the third stage of the Strategic Plan related to the profitability of recovery, with the optimization of capital allocation and with the focus on international operations in Poland, Mozambique and Angola.
The expectation of future taxable income in Portugal is supported primarily on the positive developments: i) net interest income, reflecting the positive impact of the reimbursement of CoCos and sustained decline in the cost of deposits from customers; ii) the reduction in operating costs, reflecting the favourable effect of decreases in numbers of employees and branches; iii) loans impairment.

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. with an initial amount of Euros 3,000,000,000 and fully subscribed by the Portuguese State. These instruments are fully reimbursable by the Bank through a five years period and only in specific circumstances, such as delinquency or lack of payment are susceptible of being converted in Bank's ordinary shares. The Bank repaid in May 2014 the amount of Euros 400,000,000 of core tier I capital instruments (CoCos) issued by the Portuguese State, and in August 2014 repaid Euros 1,850,000,000 of common equity tier I capital instruments (CoCos), after having received the authorization from the Bank of Portugal, based on the regulator's analysis of the evolution of BCP's capital ratios and as announced during the recent capital increase and as referred in note 48.
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.
As at 31 December 2014, the characteristics of subordinated debt issued are analysed as follows:

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 since they are collateralised by the shipped goods and are generally short term operations.
Irrevocable commitments are non-used parts of credit facilities granted to corporate or retail customers. Many of these transactions have a fixed term and a variable interest rate and therefore the credit and interest rate risk is limited.
The financial instruments accounted as Guarantees and other commitments are subject to the same approval and control procedures applied to the credit portfolio, namely regarding the analysis of objective evidence of impairment, as described in 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.

Following the Law 61/2014, about the special regime applicable to deferred tax assets ('Regime'), the Bank decided at the General Meeting of 15 October, 2014 to access this regime.
The special regime applies to deferred tax assets resulting from the non deduction of expenses and negative asset variations with losses due to credit impairment and former employees benefits or long term employee benefits accounted in the tax periods starting on or after 1 January 2015, as well as to deferred tax assets recorded in the company's annual report relating to the last tax period prior to that date and to the portion of expenses and negative asset variations thereto related.
These deferred tax assets are converted into tax credits when the institution that holds the deferred tax assets :
ii) enters in a liquidation process by voluntary dissolution, insolvency ordered by court decision or, when applicable, its authorization for the exercise of the activity is revoked by the competent authorities.
According to the Regime, where it was recorded a net loss for the year, the amount of deferred tax assets to be converted into tax credit is that corresponding to the ratio of net loss for the period and the total equity. The tax credit can be used to offset tax liabilities, including those relating to state income taxes and the assets constituting his charge and the fact giving not take place later than the date of such conversion.
The amount of tax credit that is not offset with tax debts is repaid to the taxpayer. In cases where the conversion into tax credit operate the effect of registration of a net loss for the period, the taxpayer will be a special reserve, which implies the simultaneous formation of conversion rights attached to the State.

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 0.05% as at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: 0.25%).
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 period). As at 31 December 2014, the average discount rate was 1.10% for loans and advances and - 0.36% for deposits. As at 31 December 2013 the rates were 2.95% and 1.42%, 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.
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.
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.
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 period) and the spread used at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the three most recent months. The average discount rate was 4.44% as at 31 December 2014 and 5.50% as at 31 December 2013. 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.
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 period) and the spread of the Group at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the three most recent months. As at 31 December 2014, the average discount rate was 1.65% and as at 31 December 2013 was 2.49%.
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 6.97% (31 December, 2013: 8.99%) for subordinated debt placed on the institutional market. Regarding the subordinated issues placed on the retail market it was determined a discount rate of 7.18% (31 December, 2013: 8.25%). The average discount rate calculated for senior issues (including the Government guaranteed and asset-backed) was 2.06% (31 December 2013: 3.43%) and 2.97% (31 December, 2013: 3.88%) 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 2014 is a positive amount of Euros 63,163,000 (31 December 2013: a negative amount of Euros 48,271,000), and includes a receivable amount of Euros 366,000 (31 December 2013: a receivable amount of Euros 160,000) which reflects the fair value of embedded derivatives and are recorded in financial assets and liabilities held for trading.
As at 31 December 2014, 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 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 used and review processes to test the accuracy of the values obtained.
The Group considers an active market in which transactions of the financial instrument occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide prices information on an ongoing basis, and for this purpose should verify the following 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.

As the Board Members Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common in the insurance market the acquisition of perpetual annuities including the increase in pensions, the Bank determined, the liability to be recognised on the financial statements taking into consideration current actuarial assumptions.
In accordance with the remuneration policy of the Board Members, the Group has the responsibility of supporting the cost with the retirement pensions of former Group's Executive Board Members, as well as the Complementary Plan for these members in accordance with the applicable rules funded through the Pension Fund, Extra-fund and perpetual annuities.
To cover the update of contracted responsibilities through perpetual annuities policies, based on the actuarial calculations, the Group recognised a provision of Euros 3,153,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 4,176,000). 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.

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:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Increase in future | 0.75% until 2017 | 1% until 2016 |
| compensation levels | 1.0% after 2017 | 1.75% after 2016 |
| 0% until 2017 | 0% until 2016 | |
| Rate of pensions increase | 0.50% after 2017 | 0.75% after 2016 |
| Projected rate of return of fund assets | 2.50% | 4.00% |
| Discount rate | 2.50% | 4.00% |
| Mortality tables | ||
| Men | TV 73/77 - 2 years | TV 73/77 - 1 year |
| Women | TV 88/90 - 3 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, two years for men and three years for women, which results in a 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, 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 0.75% by 2017 and 1.0% from 2017 and a growth rate of pensions from 0% by 2017 and 0.50% from 2017.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, it is 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, presented below is the estimated expected return for 2015:
| 2015 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
The segments presented are in accordance with IFRS 8. In accordance with the Group's management model, the segments presented correspond to the segments used for Executive Committee's management purposes. The Group offers a wide range of banking activities and financial services in Portugal and abroad, with a special focus on Commercial Banking, Corporate and Investment Banking and Asset Management and Private Banking.
Following the commitment agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp), an additional segment named non-Core Business Portfolio was considered, respecting the criteria agreed.
The Retail Banking activity includes the Retail activity of Banco Comercial Português in Portugal, operating as a distribution channel for products and services from other companies of the Group, and the Foreign business segment, operating through several banking operations in markets with affinity to Portugal and in countries with higher growth potential.
The Retail segment in Portugal includes: (i) the Retail network in Portugal, where the strategic approach is to target "Mass Market" customers, who appreciate a value proposition based on innovation and speed, as well as Prestige and Small Business customers, whose specific characteristics, financial assets or income imply a value proposition based on innovation and personalisation, requiring a dedicated Account Manager; and (ii) ActivoBank, a bank focused on clients who are young, intensive users of new communication technologies and who prefer a banking relationship based on simplicity, offering modern products and services.
The Foreign Business segment, for the purpose of business segments, comprises the operations outside Portugal, in particular Bank Millennium in Poland, Millennium bim in Mozambique and Banco Millennium Angola. The Foreign Business segment, in terms of geographical segments, comprises the Group operations outside Portugal referred to above, and also Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands.
In Poland, the Group is represented by a universal bank offering a wide range of financial products and services to individuals and companies nationwide; in Mozambique by a universal bank targeting companies and individual customers; in Angola by a bank focused on private customers and companies as well as public and private institutions and in the Cayman Islands by Millennium bcp Bank & Trust, a bank designed for international services in the area of Private Banking to customers with high financial assets ("Affluent" segment); and in Switzerland the Group is represented by Banque Privée BCP, a Private Banking platform under Swiss law.
The Companies Banking business includes the Companies segment in Portugal, which operates as a distribution channel of products and services from other companies of the Group, and the Corporate & Investment Banking segment.
The Companies in Portugal segment includes: (i) the Companies network that covers the financial needs of companies with an annual turnover between Euros 2.5 million and Euros 50 million, and focuses on innovation, offering a wide range of traditional banking products complemented by specialised financing, (ii) Specialised Recovery Division, (iii) the activity of the Real Estate Business Division and (iv) Interfundos.
The Corporate & Investment Banking segment includes: (i) the Corporate network in Portugal, targeting corporate and institutional customers with an annual turnover in excess of Euros 50 million, providing a complete range of value-added products and services; (ii) Specialised Monitoring Division, (iii) the Investment Banking unit, and (iv) the activity of the Bank's International Division.
The Asset Management and Private Banking segment, for purposes of the business segments, comprises (i) the Private Banking network in Portugal, (ii) Asset Management, (iii) BII Investimentos Internacional and also includes the activities of (iv) Banque Privée BCP and (v) Millennium bcp Bank & Trust. For purposes of the geographical segments excludes Banque Privée BCP and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust that are considered Foreign Business.
Following the process for obtaining authorisation from the European Commission (EC) to the State aid, business portfolios were identified that the Bank should gradually disinvest/demobilise, ceasing grant new credit. This demobilisation is subject to a framework which dominant criteria is the capital impact optimisation, in particular through the minimisation of expected loss.
In this context, the Bank proceeded with the segregation of these portfolios, highlighting them in a separate segment defined as Non Core Business Portfolio (PNNC).
PNNC includes the business with clients for which credit has been granted for securities-backed lending, loans collateralised with other assets (for those which the debt ratio over asset value is not less than 90%), subsidised mortgage loans, construction subcontractors focused almost exclusively on the Portuguese market, football clubs and Real Estate development.
The separate disclosure for those types of loans resulted, exclusively, from the need to identify and monitoring the segments described in the previous paragraph, in the scope of the authorisation process abovementioned. Thus, the PNNC portfolio has not been aggregated based on risk classes or any other performance criteria.
It should be noted that, in 31 December 2014, 72% of this portfolio benefited from asset backed loans, including 67% with real estate collateral and 5% with other assets guarantee.
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.
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 III methodology, in accordance with the CRD IV/CRR, with reference to December 2014. The capital allocation for each segment in December 2013 and December 2014, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment on those dates, reflecting the application of methodologies of Basel III in December 2014 and Basel II in December 2013. Each operation is balanced through internal transfers of funds, with no impact on consolidated accounts.
Operating costs determined for each business area rely on one hand on the amounts accounted directly in the respective cost centres, and on the other hand, on the amounts resulting from internal cost allocation processes. As an example, in the first set of costs are included costs related to phone communication, travelling accommodation and representation expenses and to advisory services and in the second set are included costs related to correspondence, water and electricity and to rents related to spaces occupied by organic units, among others. The allocation of this last set of costs is based on the application of previously defined criteria, related to the level of activity of each business area, like the number of current accounts, the number of customers or employees, the business volume and the space occupied.
The following information is based on financial statements prepared according to IFRS and on the organisational model in place for the Group, as at 31 December 2014.
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.
Considering the commitment agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp) on the Bank's Restructuring Plan, in particular the implementation of a new approach to the asset management business, and according to IFRS 5, the activity of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos was classified as discontinued operations during 2013, with the impact on results of these operations from this data onwards presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "Income arising from discontinued operations". At the consolidated balance sheet level, the assets and liabilities of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos were considered with the same criteria as that of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013.
Additionally, following the sale of the total shareholding in Banca Millennium in Romania, this subsidiary was classified as discontinued operation as at 31 December 2014, with the impact on results of its operation presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "Income arising from discontinued operations", as at 2013 and 2014. However, at the consolidated balance sheet level, considering that the sale transaction was completed during the preparation of the 2014 financial statements and that the conditions for its derecognition were met, the assets and liabilities of Banca Millennium in Romania are not considered as at 31 December 2014, whereas as at 31 December 2013 there was no change in the criteria considered in the consolidated financial statements. Banca Millennium 2014´s results were fully appropriated by the Group.
Taking into account the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, concluded on 19 June 2013, Millennium bank in Greece was classified as a discontinued operation, during 2013, and the results obtained till that date presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "Income arising from discontinued operations".

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.
Under this scope, it has particular importance to monitor and control of the main types of financial risk – credit, market, liquidity and operational – to which the Group's business is subject to.
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 fulfil 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.
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.
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 and the derivatives of 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.
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 following table includes the European countries that have been under particular attention in this period, such as Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Hungary. The amount represents the gross exposure (nominal value), as at 31 December 2014 of the credit granted to entities whose country is one of those identified.
The balance Financial Institutions includes applications in other credit institutions. The amounts do not include interest and are not deducted from the values of impairment.
The balance Companies includes the amounts of credit granted to the companies segment and does not consider the amounts of interest, impairment or risk mitigation through collaterals.
The balance Retail includes the amounts of credit granted to the retail segment and does not consider the amounts of interest, impairment or risk mitigation through collaterals.
The balance State and other public entities includes the amounts related to sovereign debt, credit to governmental institutions, public companies, governments and municipalities, and does not consider the amounts of interest, impairment or risk mitigation through collaterals.
The Bank of Portugal applied for a group of templates to evaluate the risk associated to the loans portfolio and the calculation of the corresponding losses. There were considered several presuppositions for the following categories:
On the risk evaluation of an operation or a group of operation, there are consider the mitigation elements of the risk credit associated to them, in accordance with the rules and internal procedures that fulfil the requirements defined on the Instruction n. 5/2007 of the Bank of Portugal, also reflecting the experience of the loans recovery areas and the Legal Department opinion in respect on the entail of the several mitigation instruments.
The collaterals and the guarantees important can be aggregated in the following categories:
personal guarantees, when the persons are classified with Risk Degree 7 or better;
credit derivatives.
The financial collaterals accepted are those that are transactional in recognized stock exchange, in other words, on an organized secondary market, liquidity and transparent, with the purchase and sell public prices, located in countries like European Unity, United States, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong or Switzerland.
In this context, it is important to refer that Bank's shares are not accepted as financial collaterals of new credit operations, only accepted in the guaranteed reinforce of existing credit operations, or in restructuring process associated to credit recoveries.
Regarding guarantees and credit derivatives, it is applied the replace principle of the Risk Degree of the client by the Risk Degree of the protector (only if the Risk of Degree of this last is better than the first one), when:
exists State or Financial Institutions guarantees;
exits personal guarantees (or the case of leasing operations, exists the contra party contracted);
It is attributed an internal level of protection to all credit operations in the moment of the grand decision, considering the credit amount and the amount and the type of the involved collaterals. The protection level corresponds to the valuation the loss reduction in case of not fulfils of the several collaterals type, considering the market value of the collaterals and the value of expositions associated.
In the case of financial collaterals, adjustment is proceeded of the value of protection through the allocation on a group of haircuts, in order to reflect the prices volatile of the financial instruments.
In the case real estate mortgage, the initial evaluation the real estate value is done during the analyses process and credit decision.
Both the initial evaluations and the respectively values reviewed by external entities, from the analytical and ratification process are centralized on the Evaluation Unit, independent of the clients areas.
In any case, there is a wrote report in a standardized digital format, based on a group of predefined processes aligned with the sector practices – income, cost and replace and/or market comparative -,forgiven the obtain value, both for the market value and for the mortgage guarantee, depending on the type of the real estate. The evaluations have a declaration/certification of an evaluator since 2008, as demanded by the Instruction n.5/2007 of the Bank of Portugal, and the Evaluation Unit made the ratification.
Regarding the residence real estates, after the initial evaluation and in accordance with the Instructions n. 5/2006 and n.5/2007 of the Bank of Portugal, the Bank proceed the verification of the values through indexes or a review of the real estate value by professional evaluators, depending on the credit operation amount, and in accordance with the established rules.
For the non-residence real estates, the Bank also proceed to the verifications of the value through market index and to a periodically revisions of the value in accordance with the Instruction n.5/2007 of the Bank of Portugal, in the case of offices, stores and industrial installations.
For all real estate (residence and non-residence) in which the respectively verified values results on an significant devaluation of the real estate value (more than 10%), consequently it is review the value, by an evaluator.
For the other real estate (lands, commercial spaces or country side buildings for example) there are not market indexes available which allowed verifying the values, after the initial evaluations. Therefore, for these cases and in accordance with the minimal periodicals for the amounts verifications and reviews of this type of real estate, there are made by external evaluators.
The indexes actually used are send to the Bank by an external entity specialized in more than a decade, in recover and treatment of information, in which is based the evaluation.
In the case of the financial collaterals, the market value is daily updated and automatically, through an IT connection between the collaterals management system and the relevant financial markets information.
The loan granting process is based on the classification of client risk that is performed before the loan analysis, and also a rigorous evaluation of the protection level of the collaterals. For this propose, it is used a single system of risk notation, a Rating Master Scale, based on the expected Probability of Default (PD), increasing the capacity to evaluate the clients and an improved hierarchy of the associated risk. The Rating Master Scale allows the identification of the clients which evidence signs of degradation of the credit capacity and, in particular, those that are classified, in accordance with the concept defined in IRB, within the scope of the Basel II approach, in default situation. All the rating systems and models used by the Group were calibrated to the Rating Master Scale.
With the goal to evaluate properly the credit risk, the Group defined a group of macro segments and segments which are treated through different rating systems and models and allows the relation between the internal Risk Degree and the PD of the clients, ensuring a risk evaluation that considers the clients specific characteristics, in terms of the respectively risk profile.
The assessement made by these rating systems and models results on the Risk Degree of the Master Scale, with fifteen degrees, where the last three corresponds to relevant downgrades to credit quality of the clients, and designated by Risk Degree Processual: 13, 14 and 15 which corresponds, by this order, situations of increase seriousness in terms of default and/or impairment, as the Risk of Degree 15 synonym as Default.
The Non Risk Degrees Processual are attributed by the rating systems with automatic models of decision or by the Rating Department – unit independent from the analysis and decision areas and committees – and are reviewed/actualized periodically or always when events occur that justify.
The models that integrate the rating systems are regularly subject to validation, made by Audit and Models Validation Unit, integrated in the Internal Audit Department, independent from the units responsible from the development and maintenance of the Rating models.
The conclusions of the validations by the Audit and Models Validation Unit, as well the respectively recommendations and the proposal for changes and/or improvements, are analyzed and ratified by a specific Validation Committee, which composition depends on the type of model analyzed. The proposals for models changes originated by the Validation Committee are submitted to approval to the Risk Committee.
In order to align with the international best practices in this area, the credit impairment calculation process in place in BCP Group integrates the general principles defined by IAS 39, the guidelines issued by the Bank of Portugal, through Carta-Circular 2/2014 / DSP, and the criteria and methodologies of the Asset Quality Review carried out in 2014 under the responsibility of the European Central Bank.
In order to maximize synergies, this process is based, as far as possible, on the concepts and the data used in capital requirements calculation according to the Internal Ratings Based Approach (IRB).
The impairment calculation is performed in three different ways according to the risk and complexity of the customers, the size of its exposure and whether there is objective evidence of impairment:
Individual analysis for customers with high exposure and risk;
Collective analysis for customers in default, not included in individual analysis, and not on the quarantine period;
Analysis of customers not in default or without enough evidence of impairment to justify, as a result of individual analysis, their treatment as customers in default (IBNR - Incurred But Not Reported component).
Customers in one of the following conditions are submitted to individual analysis:
i) Groups or Customers with exposure above Euros 1 million, provided that a group entity is in insolvency or under legal proceedings; ii) Groups or Customers with exposure above Euros 5 million, provided that a group entity is in default;
iii) Groups or Customers with exposure above Euros 5 million, provided that a group entity is rated "14"; iv) Groups or Customers with exposure above Euros 5 million, provided that a group entity has restructured credits and is rated "13";
Groups or Customers without impairment signs
v) Groups or Customers with exposure above Euros10 million, provided that in a group entity some pre-defined soft signs occur;
vi) Groups or Customers, not included in the preceding paragraphs, with exposure above Euros 25 million.
For customers without impairment signs, analysis of a set of financial difficulties indicators, in order to conclude if the customer has objective impairment signs;
For customers with impairment signs and for those in which objective evidence of impairment is identified in the above mentioned preliminary analysis, loss estimation.
Customers included in the individual analysis are submitted to a process that takes place periodically, in order to get estimations of recovery expectations – amount and time. For each customer, those estimates must be supported mainly in the prospects of receiving monetary, financial or physical assets and in the forecasted period for those receipts.
This process is carried out by recovery areas or by the Credit Division, supported in all the relevant elements for the calculation of impairment, including the following ones:
economic and financial data, based on the most recent financial statements of the customer;
qualitative data, characterizing the customer's situation, particularly with regard to the economic viability of the business;
estimated cash flows;
customers behaviour in its relationship with banks.
In addition, information on collaterals and guarantees play an important role, mainly for real estate companies and whenever the viability of the customer's business is small.
Bank takes a conservative approach about collaterals, working with haircuts that incorporate the risk of assets devaluation, the sale and maintenance costs and the required time for sale.
For each client, the impairment is calculated through the difference between the exposure and the sum of the expected cash-flows of all the business, actualized by the effective interest rate of each operation.
Impairment losses are calculated by comparing the present value of the expected future cash-flows, discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan, with its current carrying value.
For customers in default that are not submitted to individual analysis, impairment is based on homogeneous populations, resulting from the exposure at default (EAD), adjusted from financial collaterals, and the loss given default (LGD estimation is mainly based on the following components:
a priori definition of the possible recovery scenarios;
historical information about the Bank recovery processes since 2003, mainly regarding incurred losses and the probabilities associated to of each recovery scenario;
direct and indirect costs associated to the recovery processes;
cash-flows discounted to the date of default;
collaterals associated to each loan.
In these cases, Impairment = EAD * LGD
For credits not in default as well as for the ones that, after individual analysis, are not treated as in default, impairment (IBNR - Incurred But Not Reported) is based on homogeneous populations, depending on LGD and PD, the probability that a customer without signs of impairment goes into default during a one-year emergence period:
Impairment = EAD * PD * LGD.
where PD represents the probability of one client without impairment sings to be default on the period the recognized loss period.
For the calculation of PD, the homogeneous populations result from the following factors:
The criteria and the concepts underlying the definition of the above mentioned homogeneous populations are in line with the ones used for capital requirements (IRB) purposes.
Impairment losses are charged against results and subsequently, if a reduction of the estimated impairment loss occurs, the charge is reversed in a subsequent period. In accordance with Carta-Circular 15/2009 from the Bank of Portugal, write-offs take place when recovery expectation is about zero so, when impairment reaches 100%, credits shall be considered as uncollectible.
It is noteworthy that all the described procedures and methodologies are subject to internal regulations approved by the Board of Directors, about impairment, credit granting, monitoring and workout and non-performing credit.

The Group in monitoring and control of market risk existing in the different portfolios 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 the calculation of the volatility associated to each risk factor in the model it is assumed an historical approach (equally weighted) with a one year observation period
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:

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:

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 indicators 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 Risk 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.
With reference to the wholesale funding composition, the Bank amortized Euros 5,268,922,000 of medium and long term debt in 2014 (from a forecasted sum of Euros 3,417,000,000 for the year), including the early redemption of Euros 2,250,000,000 of core tier I capital instruments (CoCos) subscribed by the Portuguese State. In compliance with the Liquidity Plan, the Bank pursued the diversification of the funding sources, through repos with international financial institutions and collateralized by securities and the balance in Portugal reached the amount of Euros 1,880,000,000 at the end of the year. The favourable evolution of the market conditions allowed the Bank to anticipate for February, the return to the wholesale markets through an issue of senior debt in the amount of Euros 500,000,000 for 3 years.
The management of the collateral portfolio eligible with the Eurosystem, involving the optimized allocation of the various categories of available assets, included the cancellation of two securitization transactions and the re-allocation to the pool of the underlying assets under the form of additional credit rights, and was followed by the implementation of a new mechanism that allowed the selection of a material amount of new credit assets that were posted to the pool and the adjustment of the terms and conditions of a retained issue of covered bonds. Regarding the additional credit rights, the Bank of Portugal accepted the IRB models applicable to the portfolios, allowing a decrease of the related haircuts.
In spite of the reimbursement of medium-long term debt, the decreases of the commercial gap and of the portfolio of Portuguese public debt, the share capital increase, the senior debt issuance and the accrued use of other funding sources combined to reduce by Euros 3.339.547.076 the net funding with the ECB.
In addition, the active management of eligible assets available for discount with the ECB, amounts to Euros 14.157.399.343 (after haircuts), allowing the maintenance of a comfortable liquidity buffer of Euros 7.522.176.946, even after the early redemption of the remaining balance of own issues guaranteed by the state in the amount of Euros 3,159,606,318 after haircuts.
The decrease of the borrowings with the ECB involved, throughout 2014, the early redemption with of additional tranches of Long Term Refinancing Operations (LTRO) totalling Euros 7,000,000,000 (from an original amount of Euro 12,000,000,000 in 2012). Thus, the balance of this operations was reduced to Euros 4,000,000,000, which amount was partially refinanced in December 2014 through a borrowing of Euros 1,482,510,000 at the Targeted Long Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) carried out by the ECB.
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:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Euros '000 | Euros '000 | |
| European Central Bank | 12,175,997 | 17,803,957 |
| Other Central Banks | 2,968,013 | 1,918,129 |
| 15,144,010 | 19,722,086 |
As at 31 December 2014, the amount discounted in the European Central Bank amounts to Euros 6,692,510,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 11,000,000,000). As at 31 December 2014 and 2013, no amounts were discounted in Other Central Banks .
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 11Dec 14 | Jan 11Jun 14 | Jan 11 Dec 13 | Jan 11Jun 13 | |
| Total eligible collateral | 14,157,399 | 17,947,738 | 19,073,808 | 20,690,064 |
| Collateral outside the pool | (1,981,402) | (3,342,174) | (1,269,850) | (4,882,356) |
| Total collateral in pool after haircuts | 12,175,997 | 14,605,564 | 17,803,958 | 15,807,708 |
| Collateral used | (6,692,510) | (9,000,000) | (11,000,000) | (11,900,000) |
| Available collateral (after haircuts) | 5,483,487 | 5,605,564 | 6,803,958 | 3,907,708 |
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 2014:
i) - the other eligible assets and those temporarily out of the pool, which together amounted to Euros 1,981,402,000; ii) - deposits made with the Bank of Portugal, deducted from the minimum cash reserves and accrued interest in the amount of Euros 123,175,000;
Thus, as at 31 December 2014, 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 7,588,064,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 9,930,660,000).
The main liquidity ratios of the Group, according to the definitions of the Instruction n.º 13/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, with reference to 31 December 2014 and 2013, is as follows:
| Reference value | 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accumulated net cash flows up to 1 year as % | |||
| of total accounting liabilities | Not less than (- 6 %) | -3.9% | 8.9% |
| Liquidity gap as a % of illiquid assets | Not less than (- 20 %) | 8.9% | 1.5% |
| Transformation Ratio (Credit / Deposits) (2) | 108.4% | 117.4% | |
| Coverage ratio of Wholesale funding by HLA (1) | |||
| (up to 1 Month) | 382.5% | 1052.5% | |
| (up to 3 Months) | 208.1% | 502.2% | |
| (up to 1 Year) | 189.3% | 187.4% |
(1) HLA- Highly Liquid Assets.
(2) Transformation ratio computed according to Banco de Portugal rules for the Funding & Capital Plans (Financial consolidation).
According to the Instruction n.º28/2014 of the Bank of Portugal, which focuses on the guidance of the European Banking Authority on disclosure of assets encumbrance (EBA/GL/2014/3), and taking into account the recommendation made by the European Systemic Risk Board, we present the following information regarding the assets and collaterals:

| Matching liabilities, contingent liabilities and securities lent | 11,451,473 |
| Assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued | |
| other than covered bonds and ABSs encumbered | 15,279,091 |
The encumbered assets are mostly related to collateralized financing, in particular the ECB's, repo transactions, issuance of covered bonds and securitization programs. The types of assets used as collateral of these financing transactions are divided into portfolios of loans to clients, supporting securitization programs and covered bonds issues, whether placed outside the Group, whether to improve the pool of collateral with the ECB, and Portuguese sovereign debt, which collateralize repo transactions in the money market. The funding raised from the IEB is collateralized by Portuguese public debt and bonds issues of the public sector entities.
The balance other assets in the amount of Euros 7,470,914,000, although unencumbered, are mostly related to the Group's activity, namely: investments in associates and subsidiaries, tangible fixed assets and investment property, intangible assets, assets associated with derivatives and deferred tax assets and current taxes.
The amounts presented in the these tables correspond to the position as at 31 December, 2014 and reflect the high level of collateralisation of the wholesale funding of the Group. The buffer of eligible assets with Central Banks, as at 31 December, 2014 amounts to Euros 10,432,902,000 (value of the unencumbered assets net of haircuts).
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 selfassessment 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.
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.
The Group has adopted the methodologies based on internal rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of both its retail portfolio in Portugal and Poland and its corporate portfolio in Portugal. The Group has adopted the advanced approach (internal model) for the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.
The consolidated own funds of Banco Comercial Português have been determined according to the Notice no. 6/2010 from Banco de Portugal and, as from 1 January 2014, according to Directive 2013/36/UE and Regulation (EU) 575/2013 approved by the European Parliament and the Council (Capital Requirements Directive IV / Capital Requirements Regulation - CRD IV/CRR), and the Notice no. 6/2013 from Banco de Portugal.
Own funds are calculated according to Directive 2013/36/UE and Regulation (EU) 575/2013 approved by the European Parliament and the Council, and the Notice no. 6/2013 from Banco de Portugal, and result from adding tier 1 and tier 2. Tier 1 comprises common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1.
Common equity tier 1 includes: (i) paid-up capital, share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, reserves and retained earnings and non-controlling interests in fully consolidated subsidiaries; ii) and deductions related to own shares, the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning risk‐weighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach and goodwill and other intangible assets. Reserves and retained assets are adjusted by the reversal of unrealised gains and losses on cash-flow hedge transactions and on financial liabilities valued at fair value through profits and losses, net of taxes, to the extent related to own credit risk. The minority interests are only eligible up to the amount of the capital requirements attributable to the minorities. In addition, the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses are deducted, as well as the deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences relying on the future profitability and the interests held in financial institutions and insurers of at least 10%, in this case only in the amount that exceeds the thresholds of 10% and 15% of the common equity tier 1, when analysed on an individual and aggregated basis, respectively.
Additional tier 1 comprises preference shares and other hybrid instruments that are compliant with CRR requirements and the minority interests eligible up to the amount of tier 1 capital requirements attributable to the minorities.
Tier 2 includes the subordinated debt that are compliant with CRR requirements and the minority interests eligible up to the amount of total capital requirements attributable to the minorities.
CRD IV/CRR stipulates a transitional period to exclude some elements previously considered (phase-out) and include/deduct new elements (phase-in), in which institutions may accommodate the new requirements The transitional period for the majority of the elements will last until the end of 2017, with the exception of the deferred tax assets already recorded on the balance sheet of January 1, 2014, and the subordinated debt and all the hybrid instruments not eligible to the own funds, that have a longer period (until the end of 2021).
The calculation of risk-weighted assets also presents some changes in relation to how it is performed in accordance with the regulatory framework of Basel II, with emphasis on the 250% risk weighting of the deferred tax assets from temporary differences and investments higher than 10% held in financial institutions and insurance companies that are within the limits established for not deducting them to common equity tier 1 (instead of 0% and 100%, respectively), on the Credit Value Adjustments (CVA) and on the calculation of capital requirements to cover credit risk of small and medium companies for which IRB approaches are used.
Within the new regulatory framework, financial institutions should report common equity tier 1, tier 1 and total capital ratios of at least 7%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, including a 2.5% conservation buffer, but benefiting from a transitional period that will last until the end of 2018. Notwithstanding, Banco de Portugal determined that the institutions are bound to ensure the maintenance of a common equity tier 1 ratio of at least 7 % along the transitional period, in order to ensure proper adequacy with capital demands ahead.
The own funds and the capital requirements determined according to the methodologies CRD IV / CRR previously referred , as of 31 December 2014, are the following:

Consolidated own funds, determined by the Regulation nº 6/2010 from Banco de Portugal, result from adding tier 1 and tier 2 and subtracting the component of deductions. For the calculation of tier 1 are considered the core tier 1 elements, comprising the steadiest components of the own funds, and other relevant elements to discharges of tier 1.
Core tier 1 includes: i) paid-up capital, share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, the reserves and the retained earnings, non-controlling interests in fully consolidated subsidiaries and the pension fund corridor; ii) and deductions related to own shares, goodwill and other intangible assets and customers deposits with yields above a certain threshold. Core tier 1 is also influenced by the reversal 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 valued 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.
The additional elements that integrate the tier 1 are preference shares and other hybrid instruments and even some deductions taken by 50%: (i) of interests held in financial institutions and insurers higher than 10% and 20%, respectively; and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning risk‐weighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach.
Tier 2 includes the subordinated debt eligible pursuant to authorization of Banco de Portugal which, in respect to non-perpetual subordinated loans, is subject to a prudential amortization during the last five years to maturity. The tier 2 is also subject to the deduction of the remaining 50% of interests held in financial institutions and insurers and the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses that have not been deducted to tier 1.
There are also some deductions to total 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 and the potential excess of exposure to risk limits within the scope of the Notice nº 7/2010 from Banco de Portugal.
There are still limits to the eligibility of some financial instruments to own funds, namely; (i) hybrids instruments, including those fully subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, may only contribute to tier 1 up to 50% of the value of the latter, and any excess must be deducted to tier 1 and added to upper tier2; (ii) lower tier 2 cannot surpass 50% of tier 1 and (iii) tier 2 cannot surpass the total amount of tier 1.
Banco de Portugal established that financial institutions should report total capital ratios of at least 8% and consolidated core tier 1 ratios no lower than 10% as at the year-end 2012 and onwards.
On the other hand, EBA established a core tier 1 ratio including, namely, a capital buffer related to the exposure to sovereign risks, which totalled Euros 848 million in the case of BCP, and should be of at least 9%. On 22 July 2013, EBA released a recommendation that replaced that ratio, establishing the preservation of a nominal floor of core tier 1 capital corresponding to the amount of capital needed to meet the core tier 1 ratio of 9% as at June 30, 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. However, making use of the exceptions provided by this recommendation, particularly for institutions involved in the process of restructuring and orderly gradual deleveraging, for which the minimum nominal capital can be fixed with reference to the capital requirements determined in a later reference date, the Group in due time submitted to Banco de Portugal the request to waive the fulfilment of the nominal core tier 1 capital amount foreseen by that recommendation, having the authorization granted in May 2014.
The own funds and the capital requirements determined according to the methodologies of the Notice n. 23/2007 from the Bank of Portugal previously referred as of 31 December 2013, are the following:

The recently issued pronouncements already adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial statements are the following:
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. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December.
Taking into 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, the effective dates for all consolidated standards were aligned (IFRS10, IFRS11, IFRS12, IFRS13 and amendments to IAS 28).
The Group had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its 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, which allowed a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
IFRS 10 withdraw one part of IAS 27 and SIC 12, and introduced 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 as the relation between power and exposure to the variability of returns may change over time.
Control is usually assessed over a legal entity, but also can be assessed over only specific assets and liabilities of an investee (referred to as "silo").
The new standard also introduced other changes such as: i) accounting requirements for subsidiaries in consolidation financial statements that are carried forward from IAS 27 to this new standard; and, ii) enhanced disclosures requirements, including specific disclosures for consolidated and unconsolidated structured entities.
The Group had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
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, which allowed 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 had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
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. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, which allowed 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 had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
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. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, which allowed 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 analysed the impact of full implementation of IFRS 12 in line with the adoption of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11, with no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
The amendments apply to a particular class of business that qualifies 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 organizations, venture capital organizations, 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 were effective from 1 January 2014 with voluntary early adoption. This option allows the investment authorities to implement the new changes when IFRS 10 enter into force. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1174/2013, 20th November.
The Group had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
The IASB issued this amendment on 29th May 2013, effective 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 amendment 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.
The IASB issued this amendment on 27th June 2013, 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 amendment 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 that, without the amendment, would not be permitted.
The Group had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
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 adding 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 had no impact from the adoption of the amendment to IAS 32, taking into consideration the accounting policy already adopted.
The IASB issued this interpretation on 20th May 2013, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. This interpretation was endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 634/2014, 13th June (defining entry into force at the latest, as from the commencement date of first financial year starting on or after 17 June 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 recognizes a liability for a levy when – and only when – the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs.
The Group is still evaluating the impact from the adoption of this standard.
The IASB issued this amendment on 21th November 2013, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July 2014. This amendment was endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 29/2015, 17th December 2014 (defining entry into force at the latest, as from the commencement date of first financial year starting on or after 1 February 2015).
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 recognize 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.
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, IAS 16, IAS 24 and IAS 38. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 28/2015, 17th December 2014 (defining entry into force at the latest, as from the commencement date of first financial year starting on or after 1 February 2015).
The amendment clarifies the definition of 'vesting conditions' in Appendix A of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, by separating the definition of performance condition and service condition from the definition of vesting condition to make the description of each condition clear.
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.
The amendment clarifies 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.
IASB amends the basis of conclusion in order to clarify that, by deleting IAS 39 AG79, 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.
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: (a) the determination of the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) does not depend on the selection of the valuation technique; and, (b) the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) is calculated as the difference between the gross and the net carrying amounts.
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.
The annual improvements cycle 2011-2013, issued by IASB on 12th December 2013, introduces amendments with effective date on, or after, 1st July 2014, to the standards IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1361/2014, 18th December (defining entry into force at the latest, as from the commencement date of first financial year starting on or after 1 January 2015).
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.
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.
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. The objective of this amendment was to clarify that the portfolio exception applies to all contracts within the scope of IAS 39 or IFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in IAS 32.
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, 2013 and 2014)
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. IFRS 9 (2014) introduces 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 three measurement categories for financial assets: amortized, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). A financial asset would be measured at amortized 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 (SPPI) on the principal outstanding. If the debt instrument that are SPPI are held under a business model whose objective achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling, the measurement would be at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), keeping the revenue from interest presenting in profit or loss.
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 (FVOCI). Those amounts recognized in OCI would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments would be recognized in profit or loss, rather than OCI, unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment.
All other financial assets, either the financial assets held under a business model of trading, either other financial instruments, which do not comply with SPPI criteria, would be measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
This situation includes investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in OCI that would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss (FVTPL).
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, confirming that exist embedded derivatives, it should be measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables.
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.
IFRS 9 (2014) established a new impairment model base on "expected losses" that replace the current "incurred losses" in IAS 39. As a result, loss event will no longer need to occur before an impairment allowance is recognized. This new model will accelerate recognition of losses for impairment on debt instruments held that are measured at amortized cost or FVOCI.
If the credit risk of financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, the financial asset will attract a loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit losses. If its credit risk has increased significantly, it will attract an allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses thereby increasing the amount of impairment recognized.
As soon as the loss event occur (what is current define as "objective evidence of impairment"), the impairment allowance would be allocated directly to the financial asset affected, which provide the same accounting treatment, similar to the current IAS 39, including the treatment of interest revenue.
The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 is 1 January 2018.
The Group has started the process of evaluating the potential effect of this standard. Given the nature of the Group's operations, this standard is expected to have a pervasive impact on the Group's financial statements.
The IASB issued, on 28th May 2014, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Costumers, effective (with early application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July 2017. This standard will revoke IAS 11 - Construction Contracts, IAS 18 – Revenue, IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programs, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 – Revenue- Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
IFRS 15 provides a model based on 5 steps of analysis in order to determine when revenue should be recognized and the amount. The model specifies that the revenue should be recognized when an entity transfers goods or services to the customer, measured by the amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive. Depending on the fulfilment of certain criteria, revenue is recognized:
The Group is still evaluating the impact from the adoption of this standard.
The annual improvements of the 2012-2014 cycle, issued by the IASB on 25th September 2014, made changes with an effective date of application for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016 to IFRS 5, IFRS 7, IAS 19, IAS 34.
The Group expects no material impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements
IASB issued amendments to IAS 27 on 12th August 2014, with an effective date of application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, introducing an option for the measurement of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures the equity method in the separate financial statements.
The Group has not yet taken any decision on a possible adoption on this option in their separate accounts.
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.
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 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 on July 15, 2010 and was informed of the decision to accept the legal objections presented by all the defendants.
The court hearing began in April 2011. On 7 October 2011, a court order was issued declaring the evidence presented null and that, consequently, the entire proceeding was declared null.
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, the court hearing should proceed.
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.
The court hearing for debate and judgement was resumed in the Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal de Lisboa (court of Lisbon for minor criminal offences) that decided to bar all offences imputed to one former Director of BCP due to the statute of limitations. By a sentence issued on 29 August 2014, all the defendants were sentenced for the infractions they were charged with. The fine initially applied to BCP by Banco de Portugal was reduced in 1.000.000 Euros.
On 13 October, 2014 BCP appealed from the sentence and also did the remaining defendants. They are currently waiting for a decision from Tribunal da Relação.
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 recognized, 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 recognized 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.
Through a sentence issued on 2 May 2014, three of the four defendants were sentenced to suspended prison sentences (to 2 years) and to the payment of fines amounting to Euros 300,000 and 600,000 for the market manipulation crime, with the disqualification for the exercise of banking functions and publication of the sentence in a widely-read newspaper. The defendants appealed to the Lisbon Court of Appeal.
The Bank is convinced that, having in consideration the facts argued by the Plaintiff, the suit shall be deemed unfounded.
One of the creditors of the plaintiff requested its bankruptcy and the Bank claimed credits amounting to 82,253,962.77 Euros. Thus, the proceeding mentioned above is suspended
The Portuguese Competition Authority has declared the administrative proceeding to stay under judicial secrecy, once it considered that the interests dealt with in the investigation, as well as the parties' rights, would not be compatible with the publicity of the process. Until today, the Bank was not charged and did not receive a notice of an illicit act. If the Competition Authority would make a final decision considering that the Bank developed anti-competition activities, the Bank could be sentenced to pay a fine (within the limits set forth by law that foresees a maximum amount equivalent to 10% of the consolidated annual business volume registered in the year prior to the making of the decision). Notwithstanding, such a decision may be contested in court.
On 3 August 2014, the Bank of Portugal has adopted a set of measures within the scope of the resolution process of Banco Espírito Santo, SA, which included the capitalization of Euro 4.9 billion of a new entity called Novo Banco using the Resolution Fund ("FR"). Depending on the selling price of the Novo Banco, which must occur within a period of two years, the FR may suffer losses or gains over the amount placed in this entity. As a participant in the Resolution Fund, together with other banks domiciled in Portugal, if the FR suffers losses, the Bank may be asked to perform extraordinary contributions to the future FR, which will be reflected as a charge in the income statement.

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 acquired 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 securities. The value of the senior securities 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 securities are remunerated at an interest rate that reflects the risk of the company that holds the assets.
The value of the junior securities is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior securities and the sale value to the companies under the Portuguese Law.
These junior securities, when subscribed by the Group, provide the right to a contingent positive value if the recovered amount for the assets transferred is above the nominal value amount of senior securities plus it related interest.
However, considering these junior assets reflect a difference between the valuations of the assets sold based on the appraisals performed by independent entities and the negotiation between the parties, they 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.
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
Considering that it does not hold control and doesn't exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Group performed, under the scope of IAS 39.20 c, the derecognition of the assets transferred and the recognition of the assets received as follows:

During 2014, it was included in the consolidated perimeter the company Irgossai - Urbanização e construção, S.A.. Additionally, the Group sold, in June 2014, the investments held in Ocidental – Companhia Portuguesa de Seguros, S.A. and in Médis – Companhia Portuguesa de Seguros de Saúde, S.A. At the end of the year, the Group concluded the sale of the entire share capital of Banca Millennium (Romania).
As at 31 December, 2014, the associated company Millenniumbcp Ageas Grupo Segurador, SGPS, SA holds 652,087,518 shares of the Group in the amount of Euros 42,842,000.
The Group held a set of securitization transactions regarding mortgage loans, consumer loans and corporate loans which were set through specifically created SPE. As referred in accounting policy 1 b), when the substance of the relationships with the SPEs indicates that the Group holds control of its activities, the SPE are fully consolidated, following the application of IFRS 10.
As part of the Group's strategy to strengthen the capital ratios, following the Board of Directors strategy to address the new challenges imposed by the current prudential rules of ECB, throughout 2015, the Group decided to sell part of its portfolio of Portuguese public debt securities previously accounted for in the Held to maturity portfolio (at this date, the Goup has already sold part of the portfolio). This decision to sell the referred securities led to the reclassification, on the date of the change of intention, of the total public debt securities portfolio accounted for in the portfolio of securities held to maturity to the available for sale portfolio, in accordance with IAS 39 which based on its characteristics and definition of the standard (IAS 39 AG 22), did not imply the tainting of the remaining portfolio.
Similarly, and in line with this strategy, the Group at the end of March 2015 sold 15.41% of the share capital of the company Bank Millennium S.A. (Poland) through the accelerated placement of 186,979,631 common shares at the unit value of PLN 6.65. After this sale the Group continues to hold a majority stake of 50.1% in the capital of the Bank Millennium S.A. (Poland).
On 24 February 2015, Banco Comercial Português, SA informed about the process of evaluation of various strategic scenarios that promote the appreciation of ActivoBank, the online reference bank in Portugal.

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, 2014 and 2013.
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 financial statements presented were approved on 17 April 2015 by the Bank's Board of Directors. The financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.
The Bank's financial statements for the year ended 31 December, 2014 were prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the NCA's, established by the Bank of Portugal and effective on that date.
The Bank has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2014, as referred in note 50.
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, with the changes arising from the adoption of the following standards: IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities, mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2014.
IFRS 10 revoked part of IAS 27- Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 and introduced a new single model of control which determines when an investment should be consolidated. This new model is focus on whether the entity has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns (de facto control).
In accordance with the transitional provisions of IRFS 10, the Bank reassessed the control over its investments at 1 January, 2013, and no impact was determined as a result of this reassessment.
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 changes introduce by IFRS 11 did not have any impact in the measurement of assets and liabilities of the Bank.
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 financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the application of fair value for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets available for sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are 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 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 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 ab).
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 customers.
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, being presented in the balance sheet net of impairment losses.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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. 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.
The financial assets held-to-maturity include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, for which 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 disposal of financial assets included in this category that does not occur close to the maturity of the assets, or if it is not framed in the exceptions stated by the rules, will require the 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.
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.
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.
At each balance sheet date, an assessment is made of the existence of objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment resulting from one or more events that occurred after its initial recognition, such as: (i) for listed securities, a prolonged devaluation or a significant decrease in its quoted price, and (ii) for unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be estimated reasonably. According to the 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 is no reversal in the income statement).
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.
The Bank 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 Bank. A hedge relationship exists when:
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, as well as changes in currency risk of the monetary items.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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:
The Bank 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.
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.
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.
i) Securities borrowing and repurchase agreement transactions
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).
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 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.
Investments in subsidiaries and associated are accounted for in the Bank's individual financial statements at its historical cost less any impairment losses.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Bank (including structure entities and investment funds). The Bank controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity (de facto control). The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Investments in associated companies are consolidated by the equity method from the date that the Bank acquires significant influence until the date it ceases to exist. Associates are those entities in which the Bank has significant influence but not control over the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. It is assumed that the Bank has significant influence when it holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting rights of the investee. If the Bank holds, directly or indirectly less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee, it is presumed that the Bank does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated.
The existence of significant influence by the Bank is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
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 fair 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.
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 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, 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 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 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 Bank.
The subsequent measurement of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value less costs to sell. In case of unrealised losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.
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.
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 Bank 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, the following aspects are considered:
Interest income for overdue loans with collaterals are accounted for as income up to the limit of the valuation of the collateral on a prudent basis, in accordance with IAS 18, assuming that there is a reasonable probability of recoverability; and
The interests accrued and not paid for overdue loans for more than 90 days that are not covered by collaterals are written-off and are recognised only when received, in accordance with IAS 18, on the basis that its recoverability is considered to be remote.
For derivative financial instruments, except those classified as hedging instruments of interest rate risk, the interest component is not separated from the changes in the fair value and is classified under Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities. For hedging derivatives of interest rate risk and those related to financial assets or financial liabilities recognised in the Fair Value Option category, the interest component 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, 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 Bank's 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 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.
The Bank does not capitalise 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 capitalise internal costs arising from software development.
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.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is recorded 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.
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.
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 pension's 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 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 (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 Pension Plan's assets.
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.
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 2014, the Bank has two defined contribution plans. One plan covers employees who were hired before 1 July, 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) distributable profits or reserves exist 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.
As at 31 December 2014 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, whenever it is attributed.
This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the year to which it relates.
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.
The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating segments. An operating 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.
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.
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.
The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the Autoridade de Supervisão de Seguros e Fundos de Pensões (Portuguese Insurance Regulation) to practice the activity of insurance intermediation in the category of Online Insurance Broker, in accordance with Article 8., Paragraph a), point i) of Decree-Law no. 144/2006, of July 31, developing the activity of insurance intermediation in life and non-life.
Within the insurance intermediation services, the Bank performs the sale of insurance contracts. As compensation for services rendered for insurance intermediation, 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 intermediation 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.
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 Bank'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 Bank'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 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.
The Bank 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 Bank evaluates among other factors, the volatility in the prices of the financial assets. According to the Bank's policies, 30% of depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1 year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.
In addition, valuations are generally obtained through market quotation or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the income statement of the Bank.
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 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 judgmentsin 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.
The Bank 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 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.
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.
For the purposes of determining entities to include in the consolidation perimeter, the Group assess whether it is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns from its involvement with the entity (de facto control).
The decision if an entity needs to be consolidated by the Group requires the use of judgment, estimates and assumptions to determine what extend the Group is exposed to the variable returns and its ability to use its power to affect those returns.
Different estimates and assumptions could lead the Group to a different scope of consolidation perimeter with a direct impact in net income.
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.
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.
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.

As referred in IFRS 13, financial instruments are measured according to the levels of valuation described in note 45.
As mentioned in note 53, the balance Variable income - investment fund units includes the amount of Euros 1,267,071,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 1,040,178,000) related to participation units of funds specialized in recovery loans, acquired under the sale of loans and advances to customers (net of impairment). The amount of Euros 35,441,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 34,610,000) refers to junior tranches (bonds with a more subordinated nature), which are fully provided. The instruments are valued according to the quotations published by Funds Management Companies.
No reclassifications of financial assets were made during 2014 and 2013.
During 2014 reclassifications were made from level 2 to level 1 in the amount of Euros 79,419,000 related to securities that became complied with the requirements of this level, as described in note 45.
The instruments classified as level 3 have associated gains and unrealized losses in the positive amount of Euros 38,280,000 (31 December 2013: negative amount of Euros 14,096,000) recorded in fair value reserves.
The amount of impairment associated to these securities amounts to Euros 238,781,000 as at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: Euros 130,576,000) and were not generated capital gains or losses in the year. Were not made transfers to and from this level.
The assets included in level 3, in the amount of Euros 2,079,485,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 1,844,986,000) corresponds to units of closed-ended investment funds valued in accordance with 'Net assets attributable to unit holders' (NAV) quote 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. It 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 207,949,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 184,499,000) in Equity (Fair value reserves).

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 forecast transactions.
For the hedging relationships which comply with the hedging requirements of IAS 39, the Bank adopts the hedge accounting method mainly interest rate derivatives. The fair value hedge model is adopted for debt securities and deposits and loans granted with fixed rate. The cash flows hedge model is adopted to cover dynamic changes in cash flows from loans granted.
The relationships that follow the fair value hedge model recorded ineffectiveness for the year of a positive amount of Euros 7,795,000 (31 December 2013: negative amount of Euros 8,881,000) and the hedging relationships that follow the cash flows model recorded no ineffectiveness.
In 2014 and 2013 no reclassifications were made from fair value reserves to results, related to cash flow hedge relationships.

The assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets was performed for each entity included in the consolidation perimeter based on the respective business plans approved by the Board of Directors for the period 2015-2019.
The estimated financial statements of the Bank prepared under the budget procedure for 2015 and that supports the future taxable income relating to each Group entity, took into account the macroeconomic and competitive environment while consolidate the Banks's strategic priorities.
The Bank's business plan considers particularly the sustained growth of profitability and the reimbursement of all hybrid financial instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State (CoCos), and embodies the objectives set in the third stage of the Strategic Plan related to the profitability of recovery, with the optimization of capital allocation.
The expectation of future taxable income in Portugal is supported primarily on the positive developments:
i) net interest income, reflecting the positive impact of the reimbursement of CoCos and sustained decline in the cost of deposits from customers; ii) the reduction in operating costs, reflecting the favorable effect of decreases in numbers of employees and branches; iii) loans impairment.

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. with an initial amount of Euros 3,000,000,000 and fully subscribed by the Portuguese State. These instruments are fully reimbursable by the Bank through a five years period and only in specific circumstances, such as delinquency or lack of payment are susceptible of being converted in Bank's ordinary shares. The Bank repaid in May 2014 the amount of Euros 400,000,000 of core tier I capital instruments (CoCos) issued by the Portuguese State, and in August 2014 repaid Euros 1,850,000,000 of common equity tier I capital instruments (CoCos), after having received the authorization from the Bank of Portugal, based on the regulator's analysis of the evolution of the Bank's capital ratios and as announced during the recent capital increase and as referred in note 44.
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 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 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 cashoutflow.
Stand-by letters and open documentary credits aim to ensure the payment to third parties from commercial deals with foreign entities and therefore financing the shipment of the goods. Therefore the credit risk of these transactions is limited since they are collateralised by the shipped goods and are generally short term operations.
Irrevocable commitments are non-used parts of credit facilities granted to corporate or retail customers. Many of these transactions have a fixed term and a variable interest rate and therefore the credit and interest rate risk is limited.
The financial instruments accounted as Guarantees and other commitments are subject to the same approval and control procedures applied to the credit portfolio, namely regarding the analysis of objective evidence of impairment, as described in 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.
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.

Accession to the special regime applicable to deferred tax assets
Following the Law 61/2014, about the special regime applicable to deferred tax assets ('Regime'), the Bank decided at the General Meeting of 15 October, 2014 to access this regime.
The special regime applies to deferred tax assets resulting from the non deduction of expenses and negative asset variations with losses due to credit impairment and former employees benefits or long term employee benefits accounted in the tax periods starting on or after 1 January 2015, as well as to deferred tax assets recorded in the company's annual report relating to the last tax period prior to that date and to the portion of expenses and negative asset variations thereto related.
These deferred tax assets are converted into tax credits when the institution that holds the deferred tax assets:
i) registers net losses in its individual annual accounts;
ii) enters in a liquidation process by voluntary dissolution, insolvency ordered by court decision or, when applicable, its authorization for the exercise of the activity is revoked by the competent authorities.
According to the Regime, where it was recorded a net loss for the year, the amount of deferred tax assets to be converted into tax credit is that corresponding to the ratio of net loss for the period and the total equity. The tax credit can be used to offset tax liabilities, including those relating to state income taxes and the assets constituting his charge and the fact giving not take place later than the date of such conversion.
The amount of tax credit that is not offset with tax debts is repaid to the taxpayer. In cases where the conversion into tax credit operate the effect of registration of a net loss for the period, the taxpayer will be a special reserve, which implies the simultaneous formation of conversion rights attached to the State.

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 Bank.
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 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 is 0.05% as at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: 0.25%).
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 period). As at 31 December 2014, the average discount rate was 0.42% for loans and advances and 0.45% for deposits. As at 31 December 2013 the rates were 0.70% and 0.93%, respectively.
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.
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.
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 instrumentsin 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.
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 period) and the spread used at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the three most recent months. The average discount rate was 3.76% as at 31 December 2014 and 4.97% as at 31 December 2013. The calculations also include the credit risk spread.
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.
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 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 period) and the spread of the Bank at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the three most recent months. As at 31 December 2014, the average discount rate was 0.96% and as at 31 December 2013 was 2.12%.
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 credit risk and trading margin, the latter only in the case of issues placed on 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 Euros and used in the calculation of the fair value of own securities was 6.79% (31 December, 2013: 8.71%) for subordinated debt placed on the institutional market. Regarding the subordinated issues placed on the retail market it was determined a discount rate of 7.20% (31 December, 2013: 8.32%). The average discount rate calculated for senior issues (including the Government guaranteed and asset-backed) was 1.61% (31 December 2013: 2.86%) and 2.76% (31 December, 2013: 3.72%) 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 2014 is a positive amount of Euros 107,614,000 (31 December 2013: a positive amount of Euros 212,999,000), and includes a payable amount of Euros 54,000 (31 December 2013: a payable amount of Euros 781,000) which reflects the fair value of embedded derivatives and are recorded in financial assets and liabilities held for trading.
As at 31 December 2014, 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 used and review processes to test the accuracy of the values obtained.
The Bank considers an active market in which transactions of the financial instrument occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide prices information on an ongoing basis, and for this purpose should verify the following 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.

As the Board Members Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common in the insurance market the acquisition of perpetual annuities including the increase in pensions, the Bank determined, the liability to be recognised on the financial statements taking into consideration current actuarial assumptions.
In accordance with the remuneration policy of the Board Members, the 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 3,153,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 4,176,000). 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.

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:
| Banco Comercial Português Fund | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 2013 | |
| Increase in future compensation levels | 0.75% until 2017 1.00% after 2017 |
1.00% until 2016 1.75% after 2016 |
| Rate of pensions increase | 0.00% until 2017 0.50% after 2017 |
0.00% until 2016 0.75% after 2016 |
| Projected rate of return of fund assets | 2.50% | 4.00% |
| Discount rate | 2.50% | 4.00% |
| Mortality tables | ||
| Men | TV 73/77 - 2 year | TV 73/77 - 1 year |
| Women | TV 88/90 - 3 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, two years for men and three years for women, which results in a higher average life expectancy.
The assumptions used on the calculation of the employee's 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 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 0.75% by 2017 and 1.00% from 2017 and a growth rate of pensions from 0.00% by 2017 and 0.50% from 2017.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, it is 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, presented below is the estimated expected return for 2015:
| 2015 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio % | Estimated return | |
| Shares | 24.11% | 6.47% |
| Bonds and other fixed income securities | 29.34% | 3.56% |

| Properties | 9.76% | 6.58% |
| Loans and advances to credit institutions and others | 21.77% | 1.30% |
| Total income expected | 3.61% |
Net actuarial losses amounts to Euros 471,177,000 (31 December 2013: net actuarial losses of Euros 210,209,000) 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:

The remuneration for insurance intermediation services were received through bank transfers and resulted from insurance intermediation with the subsidiaries of Millenniumbcp Ageas Group (Ocidental Vida and Ocidental Seguros).The participation held by the Group in Ocidental - Companhia Portuguesa de Seguros, S.A. was sold in June 2014. This entity remains a related party, continuing to present the balances with this counterparty.
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 intermediation activity by nature and entity, are analysed as follows:

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 premiumsissued;
investment contracts – use of fixed rates on the responsibilities assumed by the insurance company under the commercialization of these products.
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.
Under this scope, it has particular importance to monitor and control of the main types of financial risk – credit, market, liquidity and operational – to which the Bank's business is subject to.
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 fulfill 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.
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 requirementsto customers.
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 and the derivatives of 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.
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 Bank in monitoring and control of market risk existing in the different 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 the calculation of the volatility associated to each risk factor in the model it is assumed an historical approach (equally weighted) with a one year observation period.
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:
| Euros '000 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 2013 | ||
| Generic Risk ( VaR ) | 5,368 | 1,991 | |
| Specific Risk | 286 | 263 | |
| Non Linear Risk | 50 | 25 | |
| Commodities Risk | 15 | 17 | |
| Global Risk | 5,719 | 2,296 |
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 2013: PLN 1,950,125,000), with the equivalent amount of Euros 456,362,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 469,423,000), 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).
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 indicators 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 Risk 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.
With reference to the wholesale funding composition, the Bank amortized Euros 5,268,922,000 of medium and long term debt in 2014 (from a forecasted sum of Euros 3,417,000,000 for the year), including the early redemption of Euros 2,250,000,000 of core tier I capital instruments (CoCos) subscribed by the Portuguese State. In compliance with the Liquidity Plan, the Bank pursued the diversification of the funding sources, through repos with international financial institutions and collateralized by securities and the balance in Portugal reached the amount of Euros 1,880,000,000 at the end of the year. The favourable evolution of the market conditions allowed the Bank to anticipate for February, the return to the wholesale markets through an issue of senior debt in the amount of Euros 500,000,000 for 3 years.
The management of the collateral portfolio eligible with the Eurosystem, involving the optimized allocation of the various categories of available assets, included the cancellation of two securitization transactions and the re-allocation to the pool of the underlying assets under the form of additional credit rights, and was followed by the implementation of a new mechanism that allowed the selection of a material amount of new credit assets that were posted to the pool and the adjustment of the terms and conditions of a retained issue of covered bonds. Regarding the additional credit rights, the Bank of Portugal accepted the IRB models applicable to the portfolios, allowing a decrease of the related haircuts.
In spite of the reimbursement of medium-long term debt, the decreases of the commercial gap and of the portfolio of Portuguese public debt, the share capital increase, the senior debt issuance and the accrued use of other funding sources combined to reduce by Euros 3,339,547,076 the net funding with the ECB.
In addition, the active management of eligible assets available for discount with the ECB, amounts to Euros 14,157,399,343 (after haircuts), allowing the maintenance of a comfortable liquidity buffer of Euros 7,522,176,946, even after the early redemption of the remaining balance of own issues guaranteed by the state in the amount of Euros 3,159,606,318 after haircuts.
The decrease of the borrowings with the ECB involved, throughout 2014, the early redemption with of additional tranches of Long Term Refinancing Operations (LTRO) totalling Euros 7,000,000,000 (from an original amount of Euros 12,000,000,000 in 2012). Thus, the balance of this operations was reduced to Euros 4,000,000,000, which amount was partially refinanced in December 2014 through a borrowing of Euros 1,482,510,000 at the Targeted Long Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) carried out by the ECB.
In a conjuncture characterised by difficulty in access to interbank and institutional funding markets, and considering the prudential criteria adopted by the Group for liquidity management, continued to receive particular attention, in addition to the reduction of market financing needs, the active management of liquidity buffer provided by the portfolio of discountable assets at the ECB (or other Central Banks). In this line, the portfolio of discountable assets to the ECB finished the year of 2014 with a value of Euros 11,354,145,000, approximately less Euros 6,413,818,000 than 2013 figure.
The eligible pool of assets for funding operations in the European Central Bank, net of haircuts, is detailed as follows:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Euros '000 | Euros '000 | |
| European Central Bank | 11,354,145 | 17,767,963 |
As at 31 December 2014, the amount discounted in the European Central Bank amounts to Euros 5,932,510,000 (31 December 2013: Euros 11,000,000,000).
The main liquidity ratios of the Bank, according to the definitions of the Instruction no. 13/2009 of the Bank of Portugal are as follows:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Accumulated net cash flows up to 1 year as % | ||
| of total accounting liabilities | -8.6% | 9.1% |
| Liquidity gap as a % of iliquid assets | 10.6% | 3.3% |
| Coverage ratio of Wholesale funding by HLA (1) | ||
| (up to 1 Month) | 337.0% | 396.2% |
| (up to 3 Months) | 181.4% | 352.5% |
| (up to 1 Year) | 167.5% | 131.6% |
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 selfassessment 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.
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.
The Bank has adopted the methodologies based on internal rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of both its retail and corporate portfolio. The Bank has adopted the advanced approach (internal model) for the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.
The individual own funds of Banco Comercial Português have been determined according to the Notice no. 6/2010 from Banco de Portugal and, as from 1 January 2014, according to Directive 2013/36/UE and Regulation (EU) 575/2013 approved by the European Parliament and the Council (Capital Requirements Directive IV / Capital Requirements Regulation - CRD IV/CRR), and the Notice no. 6/2013 from Banco de Portugal.
Own funds are calculated according to Directive 2013/36/UE and Regulation (EU) 575/2013 approved by the European Parliament and the Council, and the Notice no. 6/2013 from Banco de Portugal, and result from adding tier 1 and tier 2. Tier 1 comprises common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1.
Common equity tier 1 includes: (i) paid-up capital, share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process and reserves and retained earnings; ii) and deductions related to own shares and intangible assets. Reserves and retained assets are adjusted by the reversal of unrealised gains and losses on cash-flow hedge transactions and on financial liabilities valued at fair value through profits and losses, net of taxes, to the extent related to own credit risk. In addition, the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses are deducted, as well as the deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences relying on the future profitability and the interests held in financial institutions and insurers of at least 10%, in this case only in the amount that exceeds the thresholds of 10% and 15% of the common equity tier 1, when analysed on an individual and aggregated basis, respectively.
Additional tier 1 comprises preference shares and other hybrid instruments that are compliant with CRR requirements.
Tier 2 includes the subordinated debt that are compliant with CRR requirements and the excess of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning risk‐weighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach (with a 0.6% of the RWA exposures cap).
CRD IV/CRR stipulates a transitional period to exclude some elements previously considered (phase-out) and include/deduct new elements (phase-in), in which institutions may accommodate the new requirements The transitional period for the majority of the elements will last until the end of 2017, with the exception of the deferred tax assets already recorded on the balance sheet of January 1, 2014, and the subordinated debt and all the hybrid instruments not eligible to the own funds, that have a longer period (until the end of 2021).
The calculation of risk-weighted assets also presents some changes in relation to how it is performed in accordance with the regulatory framework of Basel II, with emphasis on the 250% risk weighting of the deferred tax assets from temporary differences and investments higher than 10% held in financial institutions and insurance companies that are within the limits established for not deducting them to common equity tier 1 (instead of 0% and 100%, respectively), on the Credit Value Adjustments (CVA) and on the calculation of capital requirements to cover credit risk of small and medium companies for which IRB approaches are used.
Within the new regulatory framework, financial institutions should report common equity tier 1, tier 1 and total capital ratios of at least 7%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, including a 2.5% conservation buffer, but benefiting from a transitional period that will last until the end of 2018. Notwithstanding, Banco de Portugal determined that the institutions are bound to ensure the maintenance of a common equity tier 1 ratio of at least 7 % along the transitional period, in order to ensure proper adequacy with capital demands ahead.
The own funds and the capital requirements determined according to the methodologies CRD IV / CRR previously referred , as of 31 December 2014, are the following:
| 2014 | |
|---|---|
| Euros '000 | |
| Ordinary share capital | 3,706,690 |
| Other capital (State aid) | 750,000 |
| Reserves and retained earnings | (838,916) |
| Regulatory adjustments | 12,467 |
| Amount exceeding thresholds | (1,918) |
| Common equity tier 1 (CET1) | 3,628,323 |
| Tier 1 | 3,628,323 |
| Subordinated debt | 880,904 |
| Others | 34,374 |
| Tier 2 | 915,278 |
| Total own funds | 4,543,601 |
| Risk weighted assets | |
| Credit risk | 31,912,785 |
| Market risk | 825,105 |
| Operational risk | 1,489,666 |
| CVA | 176,630 |
| Total | 34,404,186 |
| Capital ratios | |
| CET1 | 10.5% |
| Tier 1 | 10.5% |
| Tier 2 | 2.7% |
| Total | 13.2% |
Own funds, determined by the Regulation nº 6/2010 from Banco de Portugal, result from adding tier 1 and tier 2 and subtracting the component of deductions. For the calculation of tier 1 are considered the core tier 1 elements, comprising the steadiest components of the own funds, and other relevant elements to discharges of tier 1.
Core tier 1 includes: i) paid-up capital, share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, the reserves and the retained earnings, and the pension fund corridor; ii) and deductions related to own shares, intangible assets and customers deposits with yields above a certain threshold. Core tier 1 is also influenced by the reversal 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 valued 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.
The additional elements that integrate the tier 1 are preference shares and other hybrid instruments and even some deductions taken by 50% of interests held in financial institutions and insurers higher than 10% and 20%, respectively.
Tier 2 includes the subordinated debt eligible pursuant to authorization of Banco de Portugal which, in respect to non-perpetual subordinated loans, is subject to a prudential amortization during the last five years to maturity. Additionally, includes the excess of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning risk‐weighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach (with a 0.6% of the RWA exposures cap). The tier 2 is also subject to the deduction of the remaining 50% of interests held in financial institutions and insurers that have not been deducted to tier 1.
There are also some deductions to total 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 and the potential excess of exposure to risk limits within the scope of the Notice nº 7/2010 from Banco de Portugal.
There are still limits to the eligibility of some financial instruments to own funds, namely; (i) hybrids instruments, including those fully subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, may only contribute to tier 1 up to 50% of the value of the latter, and any excess must be deducted to tier 1 and added to upper tier2; (ii) lower tier 2 cannot surpass 50% of tier 1 and (iii) tier 2 cannot surpass the total amount of tier 1.
Banco de Portugal established that financial institutions should report total capital and core tier I ratios of at least 8%
The own funds and the capital requirements determined according to the methodologies of the Notice n. 23/2007 from the Bank of Portugal previously referred as of 31 December 2013, are the following:

The recently issued pronouncements already adopted by the Bank in the preparation of the financial statements are the following:
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. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December.
Taking into 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, the effective dates for all consolidated standards were aligned (IFRS10, IFRS11, IFRS12, IFRS13 and amendmentsto IAS 28).
The Bank had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its 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, which allowed a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
IFRS 10 withdraw one part of IAS 27 and SIC 12, and introduced 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 as the relation between power and exposure to the variability of returns may change over time.
Control is usually assessed over a legal entity, but also can be assessed over only specific assets and liabilities of an investee (referred to as "silo").
The new standard also introduced other changes such as: i) accounting requirements for subsidiaries in consolidation financial statements that are carried forward from IAS 27 to this new standard; and, ii) enhanced disclosures requirements, including specific disclosures for consolidated and unconsolidated structured entities.
The Bank had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
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, which allowed 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 had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
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. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, which allowed 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 had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
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. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, which allowed 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 analysed the impact of full implementation of IFRS 12 in line with the adoption of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11, with no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
Investment Entities – Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (issued by IASB on 31st October 2012)
The amendments apply to a particular class of business that qualifies 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 organizations, venture capital organizations, 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 were effective from 1 January 2014 with voluntary early adoption. This option allows the investment authorities to implement the new changes when IFRS 10 enter into force. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1174/2013, 20th November.
The Bank had no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
IAS 36 (Revised) – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
The IASB issued this amendment on 29th May 2013, effective 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 amendment 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 this amendment on 27th June 2013, 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 amendment 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 that, without the amendment, would not be permitted.
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 adding 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 had no impact from the adoption of the amendment to IAS 32, taking into consideration the accounting policy already adopted.
The IASB issued this interpretation on 20th May 2013, effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. This interpretation was endorsed by EU Commission Regulation no. 634/2014, 13th June (defining entry into force at the latest, as from the commencement date of first financial year starting on or after 17 June 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 recognizes a liability for a levy when – and only when – the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs.
The Bank is still evaluating the impact from the adoption of this standard.
The Bank decided to opt for not having an early application of the following standards endorsed by EU but not yet mandatory effective
IAS 19 (Revised) – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions
The IASB issued this amendment on 21th November 2013, 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 recognize 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.
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, IAS 16, IAS 24 and IAS 38. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 28/2015, 17th December 2014 (defining entry into force at the latest, as from the commencement date of first financial year starting on or after 1 February 2015).
The amendment clarifies the definition of 'vesting conditions' in Appendix A of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, by separating the definition of performance condition and service condition from the definition of vesting condition to make the description of each condition clear.
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.
The amendment clarifies 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.
IASB amends the basis of conclusion in order to clarify that, by deleting IAS 39 AG79, 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.
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: (a) the determination of the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) does not depend on the selection of the valuation technique; and, (b) the accumulated depreciation (or amortization) is calculated as the difference between the gross and the net carrying amounts.
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.
The annual improvements cycle 2011-2013, issued by IASB on 12th December 2013, introduces amendments with effective date on, or after, 1st July 2014, to the standards IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1361/2014, 18th December (defining entry into force at the latest, as from the commencement date of first financial year starting on or after 1 January 2015).
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.
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.
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. The objective of this amendment was to clarify that the portfolio exception applies to all contracts within the scope of IAS 39 or IFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in IAS 32.
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, 2013 and 2014)
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. IFRS 9 (2014) introduces limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and new requirementsto 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 three measurement categories for financial assets: amortized, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). A financial asset would be measured at amortized 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 (SPPI) on the principal outstanding. If the debt instrument that are SPPI are held under a business model whose objective achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling, the measurement would be at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), keeping the revenue from interest presenting in profit or loss.
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 (FVOCI). Those amounts recognized in OCI would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments would be recognized in profit or loss, rather than OCI, unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment.
All other financial assets, either the financial assets held under a business model of trading, either other financial instruments, which do not comply with SPPI criteria, would be measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
This situation includes investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in OCI that would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss (FVTPL).
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, confirming that exist embedded derivatives, it should be measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables.
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.
IFRS 9 (2014) established a new impairment model base on "expected losses" that replace the current "incurred losses" in IAS 39. As a result, loss event will no longer need to occur before an impairment allowance is recognized. This new model will accelerate recognition of losses for impairment on debt instruments held that are measured at amortized cost or FVOCI.
If the credit risk of financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, the financial asset will attract a loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit losses. If its credit risk has increased significantly, it will attract an allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses thereby increasing the amount of impairment recognized.
As soon as the loss event occur (what is current define as "objective evidence of impairment"), the impairment allowance would be allocated directly to the financial asset affected, which provide the same accounting treatment, similar to the current IAS 39, including the treatment of interest revenue.
The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 is 1 January 2018.
The Bank has started the process of evaluating the potential effect of this standard. Given the nature of the Bank's operations, this standard is expected to have a pervasive impact on the Bank's financial statements.
The IASB issued, on 28th May 2014, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Costumers, effective (with early application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July 2017. This standard will revoke IAS 11 – Construction Contracts, IAS 18 – Revenue, IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programs, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 – Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
IFRS 15 provides a model based on 5 steps of analysis in order to determine when revenue should be recognized and the amount. The model specifies that the revenue should be recognized when an entity transfers goods or services to the customer, measured by the amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive. Depending on the fulfillment of certain criteria, revenue is recognized:
The Bank is still evaluating the impact from the adoption of this standard.
The annual improvements of the 2012-2014 cycle, issued by the IASB on 25th September 2014, made changes with an effective date of application for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016 to IFRS 5, IFRS 7, IAS 19, IAS 34.
IASB issued amendments to IAS 27 on 12th August 2014, with an effective date of application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, introducing an option for the measurement of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures the equity method in the separate financial statements.
The Bank has not yet taken any decision on a possible adoption on this option in their separate accounts.
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.
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 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 on July 15, 2010 and was informed of the decision to accept the legal objections presented by all the defendants.
The court hearing began in April 2011. On 7 October 2011, a court order was issued declaring the evidence presented null and that, consequently, the entire proceeding was declared null.
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, the court hearing should proceed.
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.
The court hearing for debate and judgement was resumed in the Tribunal de Pequena Instância Criminal de Lisboa (court of Lisbon for minor criminal offences) that decided to bar all offences imputed to one former Director of BCP due to the statute of limitations. By a sentence issued on 29 August 2014, all the defendants were sentenced for the infractions they were charged with. The fine initially applied to BCP by Banco de Portugal was reduced in 1.000.000 Euros.
On 13 October, 2014 BCP appealed from the sentence and also did the remaining defendants. They are currently waiting for a decision from Tribunal da Relação.
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 recognized, 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 recognized 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.
Through a sentence issued on 2 May 2014, three of the four defendants were sentenced to suspended prison sentences (to 2 years) and to the payment of fines amounting to Euros 300,000 and 600,000 for the market manipulation crime, with the disqualification for the exercise of banking functions and publication of the sentence in a widely-read newspaper. The defendants appealed to the Lisbon Court of Appeal.
The Bank is convinced that, having in consideration the facts argued by the Plaintiff, the suit shall be deemed unfounded.
One of the creditors of the plaintiff requested its bankruptcy and the Bank claimed credits amounting to 82,253,962.77 Euros. Thus, the proceeding mentioned above is suspended
The Portuguese Competition Authority has declared the administrative proceeding to stay under judicial secrecy, once it considered that the interests dealt with in the investigation, as well as the parties' rights, would not be compatible with the publicity of the process. Until today, the Bank was not charged and did not receive a notice of an illicit act. If the Competition Authority would make a final decision considering that the Bank developed anti-competition activities, the Bank could be sentenced to pay a fine (within the limits set forth by law that foresees a maximum amount equivalent to 10% of the consolidated annual business volume registered in the year prior to the making of the decision). Notwithstanding, such a decision may be contested in court.
On 3 August 2014, the Bank of Portugal has adopted a set of measures within the scope of the resolution process of Banco Espírito Santo, SA, which included the capitalization of Euro 4.9 billion of a new entity called Novo Banco using the Resolution Fund ("FR"). Depending on the selling price of the Novo Banco, which must occur within a period of two years, the FR may suffer losses or gains over the amount placed in this entity. As a participant in the Resolution Fund, together with other banks domiciled in Portugal, if the FR suffers losses, the Bank may be asked to perform extraordinary contributions to the future FR, which will be reflected as a charge in the income statement.

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 acquired 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 securities. The value of the senior securities 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 securities are remunerated at an interest rate that reflects the risk of the company that holds the assets.
The value of the junior securities is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior securities and the sale value to the companies under the Portuguese Law.
These junior securities, 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 securities plus it related interest.
However, considering these junior assets reflect a difference between the valuations of the assets sold based on the appraisals performed by independent entities and the negotiation between the parties, they are fully provided.
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 securities (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 does not hold control and doesn't exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Bank performed, under the scope of IAS 39.20 c, the derecognition of the assets transferred and the recognition of the assets received as follows:
| Values associated to credit tranfers | |||||||

This decision to sell the referred securities led to the reclassification, on the date of the change of intention, of the total public debt securities portfolio accounted for in the portfolio of securities held to maturity to the available for sale portfolio, in accordance with IAS 39 which based on its characteristics and definition of the standard (IAS 39 AG 22), did not imply the tainting of the remaining portfolio.

.
1. The Bank's share capital amounts to Euros 3,706,690,253.08, corresponding to 54,194,709,415 singlecategory, registered, book entry shares with no par value, fully underwritten and paid-up. All the shares are listed for trading in a regulated market (Euronext Lisbon), represent 100% of the share capital, confer identical rights and are fungible between them. In accordance with information provided by Interbolsa, as at 31 December 2014, the number of shareholders of Banco Comercial Português amounted to 189,805.
The Bank's shareholder structure continues very scattered, with six shareholders owning more than 2% of the share capital. Of these, only two have a stake above 5%. Overall, the shareholders holders of qualified shareholdings represent 34.62% of the capital.
It is worth noting the increase of non-institutional shareholders, who represented 36.6% of the capital at the end of 2013 and, as at 31 December 2014, represented 44%.
In terms of geographical distribution, we must point out the weight of the shareholders in Portugal, representing 50% of the total of shareholders.
In accordance with its articles of association, the Bank has the ability to issue shares with special rights, namely voting or non-voting preferential shares either redeemable with or without premium or not redeemable. Banco Comercial Português has never issued any of this type of shares.
2. The shares representing the Bank's share capital are freely transferable.
3. As at 31 December 2014, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. held no treasury shares in portfolio, and neither were any BCP shares purchased or sold for its own portfolio during the year. However, as at 31 December 2014, 24,280,365 BCP shares held by customers were recorded under the heading "Treasury Shares" (as compared with 76,664,387 shares as at 31 December 2013), for which impairment evidence exists. These shares were therefore, in light of and in compliance with IAS 39, recorded under this account heading.
4. Banco Comercial Português is not a party in agreements that might be enforced, altered or terminated, in the event of transition of control, a public takeover bid, or change of composition of the governing bodies.
5. Article 26 of the Bank's Articles of Association establishes a limitation to voting rights by determining that votes cast by a single shareholder and related entities, under the terms of number 1 of article 20 of the Securities Code, 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 was concluded on 19 July 2013 between Interoceânico-Capital, SGPS, S.A. and Allpar S.E., a company incorporated under Austrian law. This agreement aimed, namely, at concerted action in the exercise of voting rights at the General Meeting. Based on the aforesaid agreement, Banco de Portugal attributed qualifying capacity to Allpar, S.E during the financial year of 2014. After the year end and in March 2015, the Bank was notified of the termination of this agreement.
7. Under the terms of the Securities Code, the qualifying stakes in the Company's share capital as of 31 December 2014, indicating the percentage share capital 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 the renewal of this authorisation.
On the date of the last renewal of this authorisation, granted at the General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, the capital was 3,000,000,000 Euros, having been partially increased in October 2012 to the value of 500,000,000 Euros.
The General Meeting held on 30 May 2014 approved the reduction of the share capital by 2,035,000,000 Euros for loss coverage. This reduction was undertaken without altering the existing number of shares or equity. Upon implementation of this reduction, the share capital fell to 1,465,000,000 Euros, corresponding to 19,707,167,060 registered book-entry shares with no par value, fully underwritten and paid-up.
Still in 2014, and in the use of this granted authorisation, the Board of Directors, after having obtained a favourable opinion from the Audit Committee, deliberated a share capital increase through new cash entries, to be subscribed by the shareholders in the exercise of their legal preemptive right, in the amount of 2,241,690,253.08 Euros After the increase was recorded on 24 July 2014, the share capital came to 3,706,690,253.08 Euros, corresponding to 54,194,709,415 registered book-entry shares with no par value, which is the current amount today.
The Board of Directors may thus, in the use of the abovementioned authority granted in 2012 and valid until 30 May 2017, deliberate a share capital increase with preemptive right for shareholders, by 258,309,746.20 Euros (see article 4 and 5 of the Articles of Association).
Should the Bank, on the date scheduled for the end of the State investment, 29 June 2017, hold debts for any core tier 1 equity instruments (ISE), the equity debt amount shall be converted into ordinary shares on that date, and the number of shares to be converted shall be equal to the equity debt amount of said ISE.
Notwithstanding the provisions in article 5, number 5 of the Bank's Articles of Association, there were no guarantees provided as at 31 December 2014, nor on the date of preparation of this report, under Law 60-A/2008, of 20 October.
The General Meeting held on 15 October 2014 approved the adherence to the special regime applicable to deferred tax assets (DTA), as set forth in Law 61/2014, dated 26 August.
10. Business conducted between the company and qualifying shareholders or natural or legal persons related to them, pursuant to article 20 of the Securities Code, regardless of the amount, is always subject to appraisal and deliberation by the Board of Directors, through a proposal by the Credit Committee and the Executive Committee, supported by an analysis and technical opinion issued by the Internal Audit Division, and after a prior opinion has been obtained from the Audit Committee.
During 2014, the Audit Committee issued twenty-eight prior opinions related to eight operations of assignment and renewal of credit lines and limits, and twenty opinions on other credit operations. All of these operations were conducted under normal market conditions.
During the year covered by this Report, regardless of the abovementioned operations, no other business or operations were conducted, namely the acquisition of supplies and services, between Banco Comercial Português and qualifying shareholders and entities related to them, which have been economically significant and cumulatively, which were carried out other than under market conditions, applicable to similar operations, or outside the scope of the current activity of the company, always in compliance with the provisions of article 397, number 5 of the Companies Code.
All the operations conducted, in spite of being of no relevant economic value, were supported by technical opinions issued by the Audit Division, analysed by the Audit Committee, and submitted to the Board of Directors.
In 2014 the company had no records of any significant relations of a commercial nature with holders of qualifying stakes.
11. The Board of the General Meeting is composed of:
Chairman: António Manuel da Rocha e Menezes Cordeiro (Independent)
Vice-Chairman: Manuel António de Castro Portugal Carneiro da Frada (Independent)
Inherent to the position, the Board is supported by secretarial services administered by the Company Secretary, Ana Isabel dos Santos de Pina Cabral.
The Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Board were elected at the General Meeting held on 30 May 2014 for the three-year period 2014/2016, and are holding the third continuous term of office.
The mandate began at the date of the election referred to above, and will end on 31 December 2016. Although the members of the Board have been elected for a fixed term, they will remain in office until the election of new members, which is scheduled to occur at the Annual General Meeting to be held before the end of May 2017.
12. Under the Bank's Articles of Association, each share corresponds to one vote. Those who are shareholders up to zero hours of the fifth trading day prior to the date of the General Meeting may participate therein, directly or through representation.
On these issues, see items 5 and 14.
Voting in writing, by mail or internet is permitted, provided that the ballot paper is received by the penultimate day prior to the date of the General Meeting.
Shareholders who participate in the General Meeting directly or through representation may only exercise their voting rights at the General Meeting.
13. Please see item 5.
14. The Bank's Articles of Association require a qualified majority of three quarters of the votes cast for approval of decisions on merger, demerger and transformation of the company. Concerning the resolution on the dissolution of the Company, a majority corresponding to three quarters of the paid-up capital is required.
15. Banco Comercial Português, S.A has adopted, since 28 February 2012, a one-tier corporate structure with a Board of Directors, which includes an Executive Committee and an Audit Committee. It also has a Remuneration and Welfare Board, elected directly at the General Meeting.
16. The members of the Board of Directors are elected at the General Meeting. In the event of cooptation to fill vacant positions, the coopted members complete the terms of office currently underway. Elections are plural and conducted by lists, with indication by the proposing shareholders, and votes are cast based on said lists.
Under the terms of the law, and under penalty of destitution, at each Annual General Meeting a renewal of confidence in each of the members of the management and supervisory bodies is voted.
17. The Board of Directors is composed of a minimum of seventeen and a maximum of twenty-five members, elected for terms of office of three years, who may be re-elected one or more times.
The Board of Directors of Banco Comercial Português, which was elected at the General Meeting held on 28 February 2012, to perform duties during the three-year period 2012/2014, was initially composed of twenty members, with the following alterations having taken place in the meantime:
(i) Under the Bank's recapitalisation operation, and in conformity with the provisions in article 14, number 2, of Law 63-A/2008 of 24 November (amended and republished by Law 4/2012 of 11 January) and in number 2 of the Annex to Order 8840-B/2012, of 28 June, the State appointed, on 4 December 2012, as its representatives to the Bank's Board of Directors, Bernardo de Sá Braamcamp Sobral Sottomayor and José Rodrigues de Jesus, both as non-executive directors, with the former being a member of the Remuneration and Welfare Board, the Commission for Nominations and Remunerations, and the Commission for Commission for Risk Assessment, and the latter a member of the Audit Committee;
(ii) In 2013 Pedro Maria Calaínho Teixeira Duarte resigned from the position of Vice-Chairman and member of the Bank's Board of Directors and Remuneration and Welfare Board;
(iii) In 2013 António Manuel Costeira Faustino resigned from the position of member of the Bank's Board of Directors;
(iv) In 2014 César Paxi Manuel João Pedro resigned from the position of member of the Bank's Board of Directors;
(v) On 15 October 2014 Raquel Rute da Costa David Vunge was coopted to perform duties during the mandate underway for the 2012/2014 term-of-office.
As at 31 December 2014 the Board of Directors was composed of eighteen members (eleven nonexecutive, and seven executive members) to complete the three-year mandate initiated on 28 February 2012 and ended on 31 December 2014; however, the directors will remain in office until the Elective General Meeting is held in May 2015. The Board of Directors is also composed of two members appointed by the State on 4 December 2012 to perform duties until the Bank's recapitalisation operation is completed, scheduled to occur on 29 June 2017.
18. On 1 March 2012 the Board of Directors appointed, from among its members, an Executive Committee under the terms of article 407, number 3 and 4 of the Companies Code and article 35 of the Bank's Articles of Association, composed of seven of its members. The Executive Committee performs all of the Bank's day-to-day management duties that have not been reserved by the Board of Directors. Since its appointment, the composition of the Executive Committee is as indicated in the preceding number.
According to CMVM Regulation 4/2013, Annex 1, - Item 18.1, the member of the Board of Directors who is not associated to any specific group of interests in the company, nor is under any circumstance which might affect the impartiality of their analysis or decision-making, is considered independent. All nonexecutive directors were assessed for this effect, taking into account their profile and the following facts:
a. Not having been employed at the Bank or a company which has been in a controlling or group relationship with the Bank in the last three years;
b. Not having, in the last three years, rendered services or established significant commercial relations with the Bank or a company which has been in a controlling or group relationship with the Bank, whether directly or as a partner, director or manager of a legal person;
c. Not having received remuneration paid by the Bank or a company which has been in a controlling or group relationship with the Bank, apart from the remuneration arising from the performance of directorship duties;
d. Not being the spouse or living in non-marital cohabitation, parent or similar in a straight line and until the 3rd degree, inclusively, in the collateral line, of directors or natural persons directly or indirectly holding qualifying stakes;
e. Not being the holder of a qualifying stake or representative of a shareholder with qualifying stakes.
The number of members of the Board of Directors who under the provisions described in Recommendation II.I.7. are considered independent, guarantee to the non-executive members of the Board of Directors an effective ability to monitor, supervise and assess in a constructive, impartial and considered way the activities of executive directors and members.
Excluding the two directors appointed by the State and the executive members, seven out eleven members of the Board of Directors are independent, i.e. 63.6% of the non-executive directors are independent, and the company finds that the proportion of independent directors against the total number of directors is more than appropriate, taking into account the adopted governance model, the company size, its shareholder structure, and the respective free float. See the table shown in item 26 a).
19. The professional qualifications and other curricular details of each member of the Board of Directors are found in Annex I of this Corporate Governance Report.
20. There are no usual and significant family or commercial relations between the members of the Board of Directors with shareholders to whom stakes above 2% of the voting rights are imputable. According to the table presented in item 7 herein, the shareholders owning stakes above 2% are legal persons. Under these terms, and by nature, no family relations exist between members of the Board of Directors and shareholders with a stake above 2%; in addition, no family relations exist between members of the Board of Directors of the Bank, and members of the Board of Directors of shareholders with a stake above 2%.
The members of the Board of Directors who have professional relations with shareholders to whom a qualified stake greater than 2% of the voting rights is imputable are listed in the following Table:
| Member of the BofD of BCP | Professional Relation | Shareholder owning more than 2% of Voting Rights |

(*) Renounced to the position of member of the Bank's Board of Directors, effective on 15 October 2014.
(**) Co-opted at the BofD meeting held on 15 October 2014, to replace and fulfil the term of office of Mr. César Paxi Manuel João Pedro, who renounced to it. Beginning of functions – 16 December 2014
21. Pursuant to the corporate governance model adopted by the Bank - the one-tier model - the structure includes a Board of Directors, under which there is an Audit Committee, composed solely of non-executive members and an Executive Committee to which the Board of Directors has delegated the Bank's current management.
The Board of Directors has appointed four specific commissions, whose essential purpose is the permanent monitoring of certain specific matters. The Company also has a Remuneration and Welfare Board and an International Strategic Board.
To advise on daily management, the Executive Committee has also appointed different Committees that, besides two or more Executive Directors, are composed of first line Directors who report to them.

The Diagram below represents the Bank's Corporate Governance Model structure during 2014:
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.
During the exercise of their functions, the directors use their competences, qualifications and professional experience to ensure, in a permanent and responsible way, a sound and prudent management of the Bank, respecting the characteristics of the institution, its size and the complexity of its business activities.
The members of the Board of Directors bear duties of zeal, care and loyalty, reflecting high standards of diligence inherent to a careful and orderly manager, critically analysing the decisions made in the best 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.
The Board of Directors is the corporate body with competence to define the company's general policies and strategy, being vested with full management and representation powers for both the Bank and the Group. Without prejudice to the possibility of additional powers on any matter delegated to the Bank's Executive Committee, namely the managerial powers, the Board of Directors has reserved the following competence for itself:
Delegation of powers by the Board of Directors does not prevent this corporate body from deliberating on the same issues, nor do they exclude, under legal terms, the responsibility of other directors for possible losses caused by acts or omissions occurred during the exercise of functions received by delegation.
The Regulations of the Board of Directors are available at the Bank's website at:
http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/Institucional/governacao/Pages/governacao.aspx Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is composed of a minimum of three and a maximum of five non-executive members, elected at the General Meeting of Shareholders, where the lists proposed to the Board of Directors must detail the individual members who will be part of the Audit Committee and indicate the respective Chairman.
The members of the Audit Committee, as is the case of all members of the governing bodies, are appointed for terms of office of three years, and may be re-elected.
The Audit Committee was elected at the General Meeting held on 28 February 2012 for the three-year period 2012-2014, and was vested with the competence pursuant to article 423-F of the Companies Code and its own Regulations.
The Regulations of the Audit Committee are available at the Bank's website at:
The Audit Committee informs the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, in writing, on the work developed and on the conclusions reached, prepares an annual report on its supervisory activity, and issues opinions on the management report, the financial statements for the year, and the proposals presented by the management, declaring expressly its agreement with the contents of the legal certification of accounts, as the case may be. Regular meetings are held with the external auditors and the statutory auditor. The Audit Committee receives the Reports of the Internal Audit Division, Statutory Auditor and External Auditors. The Audit Committee holds regular meetings with the Directors in charge of the Financial, Credit and Risk Areas, Risk Officer, Compliance Officer and Head of Internal Audit, the Coordinating Director of the Studies and Planning and Asset and Liability Management Division, 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 of the External Auditors, ensuring compliance with the rules related to the rendering of additional services and that the external auditor has conditions to conduct his activity, assessing his performance on an annual basis.
Without prejudice to the hierarchical relationship held with the Executive Committee, the Internal Audit Division and the Compliance Office report functionally to the Audit Committee on the following matters: activity plans; activity reports; organisation and operation documents of the internal audit and compliance areas; situations detected that involve high risk; supervisory actions and relevant lawsuits; and constraints to the effective execution of the defined legal and regulatory functions, namely with respect to the allocated resources.
Apart from the competence referred to above, the Audit Committee is also entrusted with the following:
During 2014, the Audit Committee was composed as follows:
Chairman: João Manuel de Matos Loureiro (Independent)
Members: Jaime de Macedo Santos Bastos (Independent)

All of the members of this Committee were subject to a performance assessment by the Commission for Nominations and Remunerations,
All of the members of the Audit Committee have levels of responsibility and understanding of the activities conducted by the company that match the functions assigned to them, allowing them to make an unbiased evaluation of the decisions made by the management bodies, and to efficiently supervise their activities. All of the members of this committee have appropriate knowledge, competences and experience to clearly understand and monitor the risk strategy.
This Committee received logistic and technical support from the Support Office of the Board of Directors, with the secretarial services being conducted by the Head of this Office.

Check if the incentives established in the compensation policy of the credit institution take into consideration the risk, capital, liquidity and the expected results.

37. The Bank follows the 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 rules approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, at a European level, Directive 2006/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the 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, the supervision rules issued by Banco de Portugal, information disclosed by the Audit Supervision National Board, the recommendations and regulations of the Portuguese stock market regulator (CMVM) and stipulations, as specifically applicable, in the Statute of the OROC (Portuguese Chartered Accountants Association).
The Bank's Articles of Association explicitly list, among the competences of the Audit Committee, that of "supervising the independence of the chartered accountant and of the external auditor, notably in what regards 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; and
(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 item 21. – Audit Committee and preceding item 37.
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 Jean-Éric Gaign, ROC no. 1013, individually.
40. The Statutory Auditor was elected at the General Meeting held on 30 May 2014, to perform duties during the three-year period 2014/2016, with the mandate ending on 31 December 2016. As is the case with 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, being thus in her second term.
The Audit Committee issued and submitted to the General Meeting, which was held on 30 May 2014 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 item 46.
42. The Bank's external auditor is KPMG Associados, SROC, SA (KPMG), represented permanently by its partner Ana Cristina Soares Valente Dourado, ROC, number 1011 and alternately by Jean-Éric Gaign, ROC number 1013. 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. 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 99.80% 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 can be consulted at:
http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/Institucional/investidores/Pages/AG.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:
II. The contracting of any services to be provided by external auditors, with the exception of legal review and audit services, which comply with their own regulatory and institutional processes, must be necessarily 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 annually assesses the quality of the services provided by external auditors, as well as their independence, objectivity and critical requirements demonstrated in the performance of their duties. The Bank officials who maintain relevant contact with the Auditors take part in this evaluation.
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, partially transposed into the 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;
The provision of any other services by external auditors, which are not described in the aforementioned set of services that can be executed and are not prohibited, is subject to specific approval by the Audit Committee prior to the execution of the respective contract.
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, is reflected in the following table:

48. The 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.
49. The Bank pursues a culture of responsibility and compliance, preventing conflicts of interests and recognising 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.
The actions and omissions considered as irregularities are those, with malicious intent or negligent, related with the management, the accounting organization and the internal supervision of the Bank, that, seriously, may:
The policy of communication of irregularities is available at the Bank's website, on the page with the following address:
In compliance with said policy, the employees, agents, commissionaires or any other person that renders services, either permanently or occasionally, to the Bank or to any entity of the Group, the shareholders and any other people, are able to communicate irregularities.
Employees have the duty to report to the Audit Committee any irregularity occurred that they have knowledge of –this duty particularly befalls on employees in controlling positions or who work in internal audit, risk management or compliance areas.
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.
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:
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 item 54.
In the performance of its duties, the Risk Officer relates with the Board of Directors, on which it depends, as well as with the Audit Committee and the Risk Assessment Committee.
Risk Officer: José Miguel Bensliman Schorcht da Silva Pessanha
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 Head of Compliance performs his duties in an independent, continuous and effective manner, being responsible for, namely:
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: Mário António Pinho Gaspar Neves
The Audit Division is responsible for the Internal Audit function of Banco Comercial Português. This Division 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 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: Rui Manuel Pereira Pedro.
51. The hierarchical and/or functional dependence of the Audit Division, Compliance Office and Risk Office on the other bodies or committees of the company is reflected in the following map:

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:
Regarding credit risk, the Credit Division also performs risk assessment duties pursuant to its main competences:
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.
53. On this issue, see the information provided in the Annual Report for 2013, Chapter on Risk Factors.
54. On this issue, see the information provided in the Annual Report for 2013, Chapter on Risk Management.
55. In the context of the Internal Control System and, more specifically, of the Risk Management System, the Board of Directors has adequate knowledge of the types of risks to which the institution is exposed and the processes used to identify, assess, monitor and control these risks, as well as the legal obligations and duties to which the institution is subject, being responsible for ensuring that the Bank has effective internal control systems and promotes the development and maintenance of an appropriate and effective risk management system.
Hence, the management body of Banco Comercial Português, namely through its Executive Committee, Audit Committee and Risk Assessment Committee:
The management body is also responsible for ensuring the implementation and maintenance of information and reporting processes which are suitable to the institution's activity and risks, for defining the accounting policies to be adopted, for establishing the guidelines and for defining the decisions which, in the context of such policies, must be taken, in order to ensure the reliability of the financial reporting. Therefore, and at a more operational level, it is responsible for approving the reporting or external disclosure outputs produced for this effect.
Regarding the Internal Control System foreseen in Notice 5/2008 of Banco de Portugal and article 245-A, number 1, subparagraph m) of the Securities Code, the responsibilities of the supervisory body, the Audit Committee and Statutory Auditor, are as follows:
56. Through the Investor Relations Division, the Bank establishes a permanent dialogue with the financial world – Shareholders, Investors, Analysts and Rating Agencies, as well as with the financial markets in general and respective regulatory entities.

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 Commission for Nominations and Remunerations 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.
Having as addressees the Remuneration and Welfare Board and the Commission for Nominations and Remunerations, the Internal Audit Division conducted a specific audit on compensations that, during 2014, were paid to members of the different governing bodies and Coordinating Directors, having certified their regularity and appropriateness relative to the resolutions adopted by the governing bodies with power to adopt such decisions.
67. The Remuneration and Welfare Board is composed of three to five members, appointed at the General Meeting.
The General Shareholder's Meeting held on 30 May 2014 approved the reduction of the composition of this body from five to four members, and appointed José Manuel Archer Galvão Teles as chairman of the Remuneration and Welfare Board.
As at 31 December 2014, the composition of the Remuneration and Welfare Board was as follows:
Chairman: José Manuel Archer Galvão Teles
Members: Manuel Soares Pinto Barbosa
José Luciano Vaz Marcos
Bernardo de Sá Braamcamp Sobral Sottomayor (nomeado pelo Estado para o período de vigência do investimento público para o reforço de fundos próprios.
All of 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.
Manuel Soares Pinto Barbosa is a member of the Remuneration and Welfare Board, with knowledge and experience with regard to matters of remuneration policy, as seen in his academic curriculum.
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 corporate 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 first line Directors, in order to ensure the coherence of the policies to be implemented. Since Mercer doesn't provide any other service to the Board of Directors, it is the company's understanding that the respective contract for advising on the validation of the compensation policy for both members of the corporate bodies and first line directors, guarantees policy coherence and fairness.
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 Commission for Nominations and Remunerations [Item 27.e)] are people who, due to their professional experience and curriculum (see Annex I and II), assure suitable knowledge and profile with regard to matters of remuneration policy.
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 is 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.
Thus, and for the duration of the plan, expected to be in effect until June 2017, the potential maximum remuneration of members of the Board of Directors is indicated in item 77., below.
Notwithstanding the above, the Remuneration and Welfare Board submitted to the General Meeting of 30 May 2014, with a binding character, the Remuneration Model of the Board of Directors, including the Executive Committee, transcribed below, which was approved by 99.84% of the votes cast, and where the meeting was attended by shareholders or their representatives holding 44.35% of the share capital.
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 nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors appointed by the Portuguese State having been defined by the Order 15463-A/2012, of the Minister of State and Finance.
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 item XI of the annex to Decree-Law 104/2007, introduced by article 4 of Decree-Law 88/2011:
The fixed component of the remuneration of the executive members of the Board of Directors is:
Determined pursuant to the criteria established in article 12, number 2 of Implementing Order 150- A/2012.
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, whose termination is foreseen for 30 June 2017.
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, which are not provided for herein.
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 applicable social security system, on a case-by-case basis.
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."
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 group 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 deferred component which might minimise the effects arising from the risk inherent to the established remuneration system.
No compensation or indemnification was paid or is owed to members of the management body due to the termination of their appointment during the financial year.
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.» 12, number 2 of Implementing Order 150-A/2012."
70. to 75. In view of the first paragraph of item 69, these items 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 applicable on a case-by-case basis.
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.
Upon taking up office and through agreement with each director, the insurance contract may be replaced by contributions to a defined contribution pension fund.
The amount of the Bank's contributions, under the two preceding numbers, is established annually by the Remuneration and Welfare Board.
The Bank does not undertake additional charges related to supplementary retirement pensions after the termination of duties of each director.
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.
Upon retirement, the beneficiary may select the redemption of the capital.
In the case of 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.
