Summary of 1st half 2019 results

Banco BPI reported a consolidated net profit of €134.5 million in the 1st half of 2019. Return on consolidated tangible equity (ROTE) was 8.2% in the 12 months to June 2019.

The comparison with the consolidated net profit of the 1st half of 2018, in the amount of €366.1 million, it should be taken into account the non‐recurring positive impacts in the activity in Portugal in the period (+€118 million, essentially gains on the sale of equity holdings), which were not repeated in 2019, and also the change in the accounting classification of BFA at the end of 2018, as a result of which the consolidated net profit reflects BFA dividends, whereas before it reflected the appropriation of BFA's net income by the equity method.

The activity in Portugal contributed with €86.9 million to the consolidated net profit in the 1st half of 2019. Excluding the non‐recurring impacts in the 1st half of 2018 (comparable basis), net income from the activity in Portugal dropped by 16.6%, essentially as a result of losses on the revaluation of recovery funds, the reduction in gains from financial operations with Clients and the impact on the income basis of the sale of subsidiaries and businesses. Net interest income was up by 3.7% yoy while fees and commissions increased by 9.1% yoy, on a comparable basis.

Recurring return on tangible equity (ROTE) from the activity in Portugal reached 7.7% (in the last 12 months).

The equity holdings in the African banks contributed with €47.6 million to the 1st half of 2019 consolidated net profit: BFA with €38.1 million (reflects BFA dividends attributed to BPI relative to the 2018 financial year) and BCI with €9.5 million (+34% yoy).

Strong commercial performance in Portugal underpinned an expansion in both loans to customers and customer resources. customer deposits increased by 5.1% ytd (+€1 084 million) while total customer resources, including off‐balance sheet resources, were up by 2.7% ytd. The total loans to customers portfolio grew by 1.4% ytd in the 1st half of 2019 (+€336 million), with the corporate loans portfolio rising by 1.5% ytd and 6.8% yoy, driving up the segment's market share to 10%, and the personal loans portfolio increasing by 7.5% ytd.

Banco BPI reports low non‐performing loan levels, with its loan portfolio quality indicators continuing to show steady improvements. The NPE ratio ("non‐performing exposure", under the EBA criteria) stood at 3.3% at the end of June 2019 (‐0.2 p.p. ytd). The coverage of NPE by impairments and collaterals associated to credit operations was 126% at the end of June 2019.

BPI has a well‐balanced balance sheet funding structure and maintains a strong liquidity position. The loan to deposit ratio was 97% and the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) reached 167%.

The Bank shows a sound capitalisation. At 30 June 2019, the fully loaded capital ratios (without including the 1st half 2019 net income) were 13.1% for the CET1 ratio and 14.9% for the total capital ratio.

Including the 1st half 2019 net income and assuming a dividend distribution in line with the upper limit of the long‐term dividend distribution policy, the proforma CET 1 ratio was 13.5% and the proforma total capital ratio was 15.2%.

Financial structure and business model

BPI focuses on the commercial banking business in Portugal, offering a broad range of services and financial products to corporate, institutional and individual customers. BPI is part of the CaixaBank Group, which since the end of 2018 holds the entire share capital of BPI.

BPI is the fifth largest financial institution operating in Portugal in terms of assets (€31.7 billion), with market shares of 10% in loans and customer deposits.

With the aim of improving and expanding over the medium and long term the commercial offer to BPI's clients, create synergies with the CaixaBank Group, and allow BPI to concentrate on the core banking activity, a set of subsidiaries and businesses were sold to CaixaBank in 2017 and 2018: asset management (BPI Vida e Pensões, BPI Gestão de Activos, and BPI Global Investment Fund), the acquiring and cards businesses, and the investment banking business (equities and corporate finance).

In the context of this business reorganisation within the CaixaBank Group, BPI continues to offer those products and services to its Clients and to ensure the relationship with the Clients, acting as agent.

In non‐life and life‐risk insurance, BPI has a joint venture with Allianz, reflected in BPI's stake in Allianz Portugal (35%) and in an insurance distribution agreement using the Bank's commercial network. The life‐risk insurance distribution agreement terminates at the end of 2019, after which the Bank will maintain the contractual relationship with clients holding Allianz Portugal life‐risk insurance policies outstanding on that date. With regard to non‐life insurance, the Bank will maintain the partnership with Allianz for the sale of these products.

In credit insurance, BPI holds a 50% stake in Cosec in partnership with Euler Hermes (a company of the Allianz Group), which holds the remaining 50%.

BPI holds financial investments in two African banks: a 48.1% stake in Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), which operates in commercial banking in Angola, and a 35.7% stake in Banco Comercial e de Investimentos (BCI), which operates in commercial banking in Mozambique.

1) In partnership with Allianz, which holds 65% of the share capital. | 2) In partnership with Euler Hermes, a company of the Allianz Group.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CAIXABANK INVESTMENT BANKING BRANCH IN PORTUGAL

Following the agreement to sell Banco Português de Investimento's investment banking businesses ‐ equities and corporate finance ‐ to CaixaBank, announced in November 2017, a Branch of CaixaBank was set up in Portugal, to which these investment banking businesses and the related assets and employees were transferred. This Branch started to operate in January 2019.

In July 2019, Banco BPI concluded the merger by incorporation of Banco Português de Investimento and BPI Private Equity into Banco BPI, with the consequent extinction of these two companies. The aim of these mergers by incorporation and legal extinction of the referred companies was to simplify the structure of BPI group.

BPI serves 1.9 million customers in the domestic market, having relevant market shares in the various products and services offered.

The business model is based on the provision of a complete range of financial products and services, structured to meet the specific needs of each segment ‐ Individuals, Companies, and the Public Sector and State Enterprise Sector ‐ through a specialist, omnichannel and fully integrated distribution network.

The distribution network comprises 486 business units, namely 412 retail branches, 1 mobile branch, 37 Premier centres, and 36 specialist branches and units serving corporate and institutional customers (including 3 Corporate and Investment Banking centres).

The network articulates with the virtual channels, which include homebanking services (BPI Net and BPI Net Empresas), telephone banking (BPI Directo) and mobile applications (BPI Apps), thus ensuring banking services coverage of all Clients.

The total number of regular users of BPI's digital banking services increased by 7% yoy, to 645 thousand. The number of BPI App's regular mobile users soared by 37% yoy, to 342 thousand Clients.

The Bank is market leader in homebanking penetration in the individual customers segment, according to BASEF data (May 2019). 43% of the Bank's customers are active digital clients.

Background to operations

GLOBAL AND EUROPEAN ECONOMY

The world economy weakened in the first half of 2019, largely reflecting the effect of the US‐China trade tensions. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that the world economy will advance by 3.2% in 2019, accelerating to 3.5% in 2020, driven by the growth of the emerging economies (from 4.1% in 2019 to 4.7% in 2020). Latin America's growth should pick up from 0.6% in 2019 to 2.3% in 2020. China, in turn, is expected to slow down from 6.2% in 2019 to 6.0% in 2020, due to the impact of the increase in trade tariffs. On the other hand, the IMF reckons that the advanced economies will grow by 1.9% in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020, reflecting the US slackening pace of expansion, from 2.6% in 2019 to 1.9% in 2020. The Eurozone should register moderate growth: 1.3% in 2019 and 1.6% in 2020. Risks remain skewed to the downside, and linked to the persistence of factors of uncertainty and lingering trade tensions.

Monetary policy (again) more accommodative

In an environment of dwindling economic activity, persistent downside risks to growth and subdued inflationary pressures, the main central banks have adopted more accommodative postures. The Federal Reserve reduced the fed‐fund rate range by 25 bps in July and September, to 1.75‐2.00%, leaving open the possibility of further adjustments in the future.

The ECB also adopted a more accommodative posture, lowering the deposit facility rate by 10 bps, to ‐0.50%, and introducing a tiering system where only part of the funds deposited with the monetary authority (in surplus reserves) will be remunerated at this rate (the remainder being remunerated at zero percent); it also announced a new long‐term asset purchase programme, to be started in November, and voiced its intention to maintain interest rates at low levels until it has seen convincing signs that the inflation outlook is converging towards the target level. Based on the current scenario for inflation, policy rates will remain at the current levels at least until the end of 2021.

PORTUGUESE ECONOMY

In the first half of 2019, the Portuguese economy grew by 1.8%, a slowdown compared to the growth rates above 2.0% seen in recent years, but still a robust performance in terms of historical behaviour. In the first half of the year growth was driven by domestic demand, with investment showing a particularly good performance, standing as a growth prop for the medium term. The contribution of external demand was negative, translating both the slowdown of exports, in line with the cooling down of global demand, and also the strong expansion of imports, largely reflecting the increase in investment, which incorporates a high content of imported goods.

The labour market performed well, albeit at a slower place, with the rate of unemployment trending towards historically low levels. At the end of the first half of the year the unemployment rate stood at 6.3% (‐0.4 p.p. relative to 2018), while employment increased on average by 1.2% yoy.

In the first half of 2019 the trade deficit in goods increased to €10.3 billion (+€2.6 billion yoy). This performance reflects a 9.3% increase in imports, driven by capital goods and transport material (aircraft purchases by TAP). Exports, in turn, grew by 2.9% only, reflecting the deceleration of global demand. The deterioration in the trade deficit in goods was in part offset by the surplus in the balance of services, which, however, was not sufficient to prevent the current balance from returning to negative ground. This imbalance will likely persist until the end of the year, given the deterioration in global growth prospects, and in particular in demand targeting the Portuguese economy (notably from the Eurozone), and the idiosyncratic factors affecting some of the important partners for the national economy (in particular Angola and Brazil).

On the public accounts front, a general government balance (cash basis) of ‐€536 million at the end of the first half of the year (corresponding to ‐0.5% of GDP) translates an improvement of €2.1 billion yoy. This improvement stemmed from a substantial increase in revenue (+7.2%), in particular tax and contributory revenue (+6.9%).

Expenditure growth, in turn, was contained (1.5%), thanks to the reduction in interest paid and low investment execution. As to the public debt, the debt‐to‐ GDP ratio dropped to 122.2% in the first half of the year, down by 1.4 p.p. relative to the end of 20181 .

For the 2019 full year, the Treasury plans to issue €16.4 billion of medium‐ and long‐term debt. Up to September it had issued €12.2 billion, corresponding to 74% of the scheduled total issuance in the year and covering approximately 55% of the needs in 2019. The cost of medium‐ and long‐term debt issuance was 1.36%, and the average maturity of the issues was 11.7 years.

Outlook for 2019

The European Commission estimates that the pace of expansion of the Portuguese economy will slow to 1.7% in 2019, reflecting a lower contribution of external demand and the deceleration of private consumption. On the other hand, investment is expected to pick up, boosted by European funds. In this scenario the labour market should remain positive, with an expected rate of unemployment of 6.5% in 2019.

Concerning the public accounts, the Government estimates a budget deficit of 0.2% of GDP, benefiting from the continuation of a favourable economic and financial background, along with other factors, such as the payment of dividends by the Bank of Portugal and Caixa Geral de Depósitos.

On the other hand, the Current and Capital Account surplus is expected to shrink, reflecting the deterioration of the trade deficit. Despite this deterioration, certain factors that suggest that this could be a contained movement, as it reflects the expansion of investment, with a potential positive impact on growth in the medium term.

Financial system

The private sector pursued the deleveraging process. According to the Eurostat, the debt of non‐financial private companies represented in the 1st quarter 100.0% of GDP, which compares with a peak of 141.4% in March 2013; for private individuals, this ratio was

66.2%, down by 25.9 p.p. from the high registered in the 4th quarter of 2009.

The loan to deposit ratio fell to 87.7% in the 1st quarter, down by 4.7 p.p. yoy, and by ‐72.8 p.p. on the 1st quarter of 2008, when it had reached a peak of 160.5%. The CET 1 ratio closed the 1st quarter at 13.8%, having risen by 0.3 p.p. on a year earlier. In turn, the non‐ performing loans ratio in the non‐financial private sector dropped to 9.9%, which is 3.9 p.p less than in the 1st quarter of 2018 and 8.6 p.p. below the peak reached in the 2nd quarter of 2016.

Loans

In June 2019 the stock of credit to the non‐financial private sector had contracted by 1.3% yoy. In the households segment, the residential mortgage loan portfolio contracted by 1.4%, as the growth of new production was not sufficient to match the pace of amortisations; consumer loans, in turn, grew by 8.2%. Both segments show a slackening pace of new loan production compared to 2018, in part reflecting the macroprudential measures implemented in July 2018. The loan portfolio to non‐financial companies contracted by 2.4%, which is explained by the sale of non‐ performing loan portfolios. Without this effect, the loan portfolio would have increased by 2.6%. In 2019, it is expected that the balance sheet clean‐up and the macroprudential measures in place will continue to restrain activity in the credit market.

Deposits

The deposits of the non‐financial private sector increased by 4.2% yoy in June, with sight deposits growing by 12.7% and time deposits decreasing by 2.6%.

FINANCIAL MARKETS

In the interbank market, the Euribor rates hit new lows in the 1st half of 2019, reflecting the outlook for a more accommodative monetary policy. The 3‐ and 12‐month Euribor closed the semester at ‐0.345% and ‐0.214%, respectively. In the US, the dollar interest rates also retreated relative to the start of the year, with the 3‐month Libor closing the first semester at 2.16%.

1) The Bank of Portugal revised the methodology for calculating the public debt, to include saving certificates capitalised interests. The revised debt‐to‐GDP ratio was 123.6% at the end of 2018, versus 121.5% previously disclosed.

In the fixed income market, the main benchmarks reversed their upward trend, with the 10‐year UST falling by circa 65 bps between January and June, to 2.0%. In the Eurozone, the 10‐year Bund again fell into negative ground, closing the period at ‐0.33%.

Risk premia in the European peripheral countries shrank, with the spread of the Portuguese debt against the Bund falling to 81 bps at the end of June (‐74 bps since the start of the year). The Spanish and Italian debt spreads trended in the same direction, albeit not so steeply: since the start of the year the first fell by 52 bps, to 72 bps, and the latter by 11 bps, to 241 bps. In the foreign exchange market, the euro remained relatively stable against the main currencies, at around 0.89 to the British pound throughout the semester, and closing the period at around 1.14 against the US dollar.

Equity market

Despite the global economic deceleration caused by a climate of uncertainty surrounding the US‐China trade war and the Brexit process, the first half of 2019 was marked by a strong rally of the main equity indices, recovering from the sharp falls at the end of 2018. The benchmark European equities index Euro Stoxx 600 closed the semester with a gain of 14%, while the S&P 500 – the leading North‐American stock market index – advanced by 17%.

In Portugal, the PSI‐20 benchmark index gained 9% in the first half of 2019, with nine stocks closing the period with gains above 10%, and only five on negative ground. In Spain, the IBEX35 advanced by 8%, with 10 stocks only closing the period on negative ground, and 17 registering gains above 10%.

Financial review

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW

Consolidated net profit

BPI reported a consolidated net profit of €134.5 million in the 1st half of 2019. The activity in Portugal contributed with 65% to the consolidated net profit.

The comparison with the 1st half of 2018 should take into account that the evolution of consolidated net profit (‐63% yoy) is heavily influenced by extraordinary positive impacts in the 1st half of 2018 (+€118 million, essentially gains on the sale of equity holdings), not repeated in 2019, and by the change of the accounting classification of BFA at the end of 2018, as a result of which the consolidated net profit now only reflects BFA's dividends.

The activity in Portugal generated a recurring net profit of

€86.9 million in the 1st half 2019, corresponding to a yoy reduction of 17%, which is largely explained by impairments in recovery funds totalling €11 million, and a €5 million reduction in gains on financial assets and liabilities and other.

The contribution of the equity holdings in BFA (48.1%) and BCI (35.7%) totalled €47.6 million in the 1st half of 2019. BFA contributed €38.1 million to the 1st half of 2019 consolidated net profit, reflecting the 2018 net dividends attributed to BPI, while BCI contributed €9.5 million.

1) At the end of 2018 BPI changed the accounting classification of its equity holding in BFA, from "associated company", consolidated by the equity method, to "financial investment", recognised under "shares at fair value through other comprehensive income". As from 1 January 2019, the

Accounting shareholders' equity and prudential capital

At 30 June 2019, the fully loaded Common Equity Tier I (CET1) totalled €2 277 million, and total own funds amounted to €2 577 million, not including the 1st half of 2019 net profit. The corresponding fully loaded capital ratios were: CET1 ratio of 13.1% and total capital ratio of 14.9%.

Including the 1st half of 2019 net income and assuming a dividend in line with the upper limit of the long‐term dividend policy, the proforma CET 1 ratio was 13.5% and the proforma total capital ratio was 15.2%.

Note: the minimum prudential requirements established by the ECB (a decision based on the SREP results) for the 2019 consolidated CET1, T1 and total capital ratios (fully loaded) were 9.25%, 10.75% and 12.75%, respectively.

The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to the total value of balance sheet assets and off‐ balance sheet items, and therefore is not subject to weighting coefficients as is the case when calculating risk‐weighted assets. At 30 June 2019 the fully loaded Leverage ratio was 7.1%.

consolidated profit of BPI recognises BFA's dividends attributed to BPI and not the appropriation of profits, as was the case when this equity holding was recognised by the equity method.

The proforma leverage ratio, including the 1st half of 2019 net income and assuming a dividend distribution in line with the upper limit of the long‐term dividend policy, was 7.3% in June 2019.

Issuance of €275 million of AT1 capital instruments in September 2019

In September 2019, BPI issued €275 million of Additional Tier 1 (AT11) capital instruments, which was fully subscribed by CaixaBank. This issue (AT1) sought a more optimised capital structure of the CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital requirements as set in the CRR2.

The Additional Tier 1 capital instruments issued are perpetual securities, with an issuer option for early repayment on or after the 5th year (subject to the authorisation of the

  • customer deposits were up by €1 084 million relative to Dec. 18 (+5.1% ytd);
  • ▪the corporate loan book in Portugal expanded by €135 million relative to Dec. 18 (+1.5% ytd) and by 6.8% compared to June 18 (yoy);
  • ▪the portfolio of personal loans and car finance grew by €104 million relative to Dec.18 (+7.5% ytd), while the mortgage loans portfolio remained relatively flat (‐0.5% ytd).

Income statement

Net profit from the domestic activity totalled €86.9 million in the 1st half of 2019. In the same period of 2018 the net profit from the domestic activity, €222.5 million, included positive non‐recurring income in the amount of €118.3 million.

On a comparable basis (i.e., excluding non‐recurring impacts) the net profit from the activity in Portugal decreased by €17.4 million, or 17%, year‐on‐year.

This decrease resulted from:

  • ▪impairments in recovery funds of €11 million (booked under gains/(losses) on financial assets and liabilities);
  • €9.9 million reduction in other gains/(losses) on financial assets and liabilities;
  • €7.6 million (+3.7%) increase in the net interest income, making up for the €7.5 million (‐5.6% yoy) reduction in net fee and commission income, explained by the sale of businesses;
  • 4.6% increase in recurring operating expenses.

Net interest income

Net interest income expanded by 3.7%, or €7.6 million, relative to the 1st half of 2018. The main factor behind this increase was the expansion of the loan portfolio, which generated a volume effect of +€9.5 million.

In addition, the sovereign debt portfolio contributed around €2 million to the increase in the net interest income. The increase in the contribution of the sovereign debt portfolio is explained by the extension of its average maturity as a result of the reduction of the exposure to Treasury Bills and the reinforcement of the Portuguese, Spanish and Italian medium‐term sovereign debt portfolio in 2018.

The average remuneration of the loan portfolio was 1.80% in the 1st half of 2019 (+0.02 p.p. yoy) while the average cost of deposits (in euro) was 0.02% (‐0.01 p.p. yoy).

The unitary intermediation margin (defined as the difference between income from interest on loans1 and the cost of customer deposits in euro) slightly increased in the 1st half of 2019 (+0.02 p.p. yoy), reaching 1.77%.

It should be noted that net interest income continued to be penalised by a context of Euribor interest rates at historical lows, close to zero or even negative, directly reflecting on the contraction in the average margin on sight deposits.

Operating expenses

Recurring operating expenses ‐ recurring staff expenses, other administrative expenses, depreciation and amortisation ‐ increased by 4.6% yoy, which is explained by the scheduled plan of investments, namely in the technological area.

Staff expenses (excluding non‐recurring) increased by 2.5%. The application of IFRS 16 (lease agreements) led to an increase in depreciation and amortisation, against a reduction in other administrative expenses. The impact of the application of IFRS 16 in total expenses, and in the net income, is immaterial.

The "adjusted operating expenses1 ‐to‐commercial banking gross income ratio2 " slightly improved, dropping from 61.4% in June 18 (last 12 months) to 61.0% in June 19 (last 12 months).

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss due to the loss of value of the Bank's assets as a result of the deterioration of the counterparties' capacity to honour their commitments.

Default levels, provisioning and recovery

Non‐performing exposures (NPE), calculated under the EBA criteria (EBA NPE), contracted by 6% (‐€64 million) in the 1st half of 2019, to €0.99 billion.

The EBA NPE ratio improved by 0.2 p.p, dropping to 3.3% in June 2019, from 3.5% in December 2018.

The coverage of NPE by accumulated impairments on the balance sheet slightly increased, from 53% in December 2018 to 54% in June 2019; considering accumulated impairments and the collaterals associated to the NPE, this coverage ratio was 126%.

Over the last few years there has been a consistent downward trend in the NPE ratio, alongside a high coverage of NPEs by impairments and collaterals.

3) No available data for Dec. 2014 and Dec. 2015.

In the corporate segment1 , the amount of NPE (EBA) was €447 million in June 2019, corresponding to 5.9 % of the gross credit exposure to the segment (6.4% in Dec.18). The coverage of NPE (EBA) by impairments in the corporate segment was 58%.

In turn, in the mortgage loans segment, the amount of NPE (EBA) was €478 million in June 2019, corresponding to a NPE ratio of 4.3% (4.6% in Dec.18). The analysis of the coverage level should take into account the relevant effect of collaterals (tangible guarantees) in reducing the risk of loss in this segment.

Non‐performing loans (Bank of Spain criteria)

Loans classified as "non‐performing", calculated under the Bank of Spain's criteria, decreased by €40 million in the first half of 2019, to €1 003 million, which corresponds to 3.9% of the gross loan portfolio and guarantees (4.2% in Dec.18).

The coverage of non‐performing loans by accumulated impairments on the balance sheet was 53% at Jun.19; considering accumulated impairments and the collaterals associated to the non‐performing loans, the coverage ratio was 118%.

Cost of Credit Risk

The steady improvement in credit quality indicators and high coverage levels, have translated, on the income statement, in a reduction of the cost of credit risk. In the first half of 2019 reversals of impairments and provisions for loans and guarantees totalled €4.9 million; in addition, a total of €5.9 million in loans, interest and expenses previously written off from assets, was recovered. The cost of credit risk was therefore negative by €10.9 million (representing a gain).

Restructured loans

The amount of restructured loans (forborne loans, under the EBA criteria) was €720 million at the end of June 2019. Of this amount, 31% are performing loans (Performing Exposures, under the EBA criteria) and the remaining 69% are included in the balance of non performing exposures (NPE). The forborne ratio decreased from 2.5% in December 2018 to 2.2% in June 2019.

In mortgage loans, the amount of restructured loans (forborne loans, under the EBA criteria) was €217 million at the end of June 2019 (2.0% of the gross credit exposure in this segment). Of this amount, €45 million correspond to performing loans and the remaining €172 million are included in non‐performing exposures (NPE).

Funding structure and liquidity

BPI shows a balanced funding structure and a comfortable liquidity position.

Funding structure

Customer resources are the main source of funding of the balance sheet. At the end of June 2019, on‐balance sheet customer resources amounted to €22.9 billion and represented 74% of assets.

The loan to deposit ratio (CaixaBank criteria) stood at 97%.

Loan to deposit ratio Amounts in € million

Loans net of impairments 1 21 929 22 291
Deposits 2 22 036 22 902
Loan to deposit ratio [= 1 / 2] 3 100% 97%

In March 2019, BPI returned to the institutional debt market with a €500 million, 5‐year, covered bond issue. The success of this transaction is illustrated by the size of demand, which reached 6 times the amount of the issue.

At the end of June, the amount of covered bonds reached €1 050 million, complementing the basis of customer resources.

Refinancing of medium‐ and long‐term debt

Funding through the wholesale debt market is reduced. The portfolio of medium‐ and long‐term debt placed in the market with institutional investors amounted to €1.5 billion on 30 June 2019 (including €1.05 billion in covered bonds).

The medium/long‐term debt net refinancing needs in the coming years are small: €929 million in the next five years (of which €129 million in the 2nd half of 2019).

Liquidity

At the end of June 2019, the Bank's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 167%1 .

The overall portfolio of high liquidity assets held by the Bank ‐ high quality liquid assets2 and assets eligible as collateral for additional funding from the ECB – totalled €9 848 million at the end of June 2019. On this date, funding from the ECB totalled €1.4 billion.

CONTRIBUTION OF EQUITY HOLDINGS IN BFA AND BCI

Contribution to the consolidated net income

Banco BPI holds minority equity holdings in two African banks:

  • 48.1% stake in Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), which operates in commercial banking in Angola; and
  • 35.7% stake in Banco Comercial e de Investimentos (BCI), which operates in commercial banking in Mozambique.

CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION OF THE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IN BFA

At the end of 2018, BPI changed the accounting classification of its equity holding in BFA, from "associated company", consolidated by the equity method, to "financial investment", recognised under "shares at fair value through other comprehensive income".

BPI believes that this is the more prudent accounting option and that it adequately reflects its current position in BFA (with no significant influence).

As from 1 January 2019, the consolidated profit of BPI only recognises BFA's dividends attributed to BPI and not the appropriation of profits, as was the case when this equity holding was recognised by the equity method.

BPI's equity holdings in BFA and BCI contributed with €47.6 million to the consolidated net income in the 1st half of 2019.

BFA's contribution to the consolidated net income amounted to €38.1 million in the 1st half of 2019, essentially corresponding to BFA dividends attributed to BPI relative to the 2018 net earnings. In the 1st half of 2018 the contribution of BFA (€136.3 million) reflected the appropriation of BFA net income through the equity method.

BCI's contribution to the consolidated net income increased from €7.1 million in the 1st half of 2018 to €9.5 million in the 1st half of 2019.

INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Individual net income

The net income determined in Banco BPI's individual accounts for the 1st half of 2019 was €131.9 million.

The 1st half of 2018 individual net income, in the amount of €288.7 million, included positive non‐ recurring impacts totalling €132.0 million that essentially corresponded to gains on the sale of equity holdings.

If the non‐recurring impacts are excluded from net income (comparable basis), the individual net income decreases by 15.8% year‐on‐year.

The individual gross income totalled €383.0 million in the 1st half of 2019. The 16.5% year‐on‐year reduction in gross income is essentially explained by the reduction in gains/(losses) in financial assets and liabilities, which in the 1st half of 2018 included a €59.6 million non‐recurring capital gain on the sale of the equity holding in Viacer, and in the 1st half of 2019 included €11 million losses in recovery funds.

Net interest income increased by 3.5% year‐on‐year, while net fee and commission income contracted by 3.1% yoy as a result of the sale of the cards and acquiring businesses. The 'Dividend income' caption includes €12.8 million in dividends from companies included in Banco BPI's consolidation perimeter.

Recurring operating expenses rose by 6.8% in Banco BPI's individual accounts.

On an individual basis, Banco BPI recorded reversals of total impairments and provisions plus recoveries, in the amount of €10.7 million (gain) in the 1st half of 2019 (reversals of total impairments and provision plus recoveries of €11.1 million in the 1st half of 2018).

Individual balance sheet

Total assets (net) of Banco BPI (individual basis) amounted to €35.7 billion at the end of June 2019. Individual accounting shareholders' equity totalled €2 990 million at the end of June 2019.

Banco BPI is the main business unit and is responsible for the development of the commercial banking business in Portugal. In 2018 Banco BPI completed the process of closing down all its representative offices and offshore branches (Paris, Madrid and Cayman), the objective of which was to focus BPI on the core banking activity in Portugal and at the same time promote a simpler and more efficient financial structure. For the

1) Does not include the 1st half of 2019 net income.

reasons pointed out, the description of Banco BPI's commercial performance on a consolidated basis is valid for the evolution of the various captions on an individual basis.

The portfolio of loans and advances to customers (gross), on an individual basis, expanded by 1.4% ytd, to €23.8 billion at the end of June 2019. Total deposits increased by 3.9% ytd, to €23.1 billion, while the Bank has been actively promoting the reduction of deposits from institutional and financial investors to optimise its liquidity ratios.

In July 2019, Banco BPI concluded the merger by incorporation of Banco Português de Investimento and BPI Private Equity into Banco BPI, with the consequent extinction of these two companies. The aim of these mergers by incorporation and legal extinction of the referred companies was to simplify the structure of BPI Group.

Individual capital ratios

At the end of June 2019, the fully loaded capital ratios (without including the 1st half of 2019 net income) were 12.8% for the CET1 ratio and 14.5% for the total capital ratio.

Including the 1st half of 2019 net income and assuming a dividend distribution in line with the upper limit of the long‐term dividend distribution policy, the proforma individual CET 1 ratio was 13.1% and the proforma individual total capital ratio was 14.8%.

Rating

BPI currently holds investment grade ratings for its long‐term debt (BBB), assigned by Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings, and for long‐term deposits (Baa1), by Moody's.

The mortgage covered bonds issued by BPI are rated AA (Low) by DBRS and Aa3 by Moody's and qualify as level 1 assets for purposes of calculation of the LCR ratio.

The latest rating actions on BPI are described below:

  • Fitch Ratings did not change its ratings of BPI during the 1st half of 2019. On 11 October 2018, Fitch Ratings had raised by one notch the long‐term debt rating of Banco BPI, from BBB‐ to BBB, with stable Outlook. The ratings were reaffirmed on 6 December, with stable Outlook.
  • On 18 March 2019, S&P Global Ratings upgraded its long‐term debt rating of BPI by one notch, to BBB, with stable outlook. In its note, S&P Global Ratings positively highlighted BPI's solid commercial position, superior asset quality, low reliance on the debt markets and adequate liquidity.

On 26 June Moody's reaffirmed its Baa1 rating on the long‐term customer deposits, which represent BPI's main source of funding. Moody's highlighted the Bank's enhanced capital levels, its low level of non‐performing assets, well below the Portuguese system average and BPI's improving profitability metrics in the activity in Portugal.

On the same date, Moody's downgraded the rating assigned to the Bank's long‐term senior unsecured debt, from Baa2 to Ba1, reflecting the application of a specific Moody's analysis in connection with the entry into force of a new regulatory framework in Portugal, which, in the case of a bank resolution, strengthens the protection of deposits relative to senior unsecured debt. The rating assigned to the long‐term senior unsecured debt reflects this debt's very low weight in BPI's total funding (€10 million at the end of June).

In July, Moody's upgraded its Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) of BPI by 1 notch, to "baa3", reaching investment grade, and reaffirmed its ratings on the long‐term deposits and long‐ term debt, with "Stable" Outlook.

EARNINGS, EFFICIENCY AND PROFITABILITY INDICATORS

Gross income = Net interest income + Dividend income + Net fee and commission income + Equity accounted income + Gains/(losses) on financial assets and liabilities and other + Other operating income and expenses

Commercial banking gross income = Net interest income + Dividend income + Net fee and commission income + Equity accounted income excluding the contribution of stakes in African banks

Operating expenses = Staff expenses + Other administrative expenses + Depreciation and amortisation

Adjusted Operating expenses = Staff expenses excluding cost with early retirements and voluntary terminations and (only in 2016) gains with the revision of the Collective Labour Agreement (ACT) + Other administrative expenses + Depreciation and amortisation ‐ Income from services rendered to CaixaBank Group (recorded in "Other operating income and expenses"

Net operating income = Gross income ‐ Operating expenses

Net income before income tax = Net operating income – Impairment losses and other provisions + Gains and losses in other assets

Cost‐to‐income ratio (efficiency ratio) 1) = Operating expenses / Gross income

Adjusted Operating expenses‐to‐commercial banking gross income 1) = Operating expenses, excluding costs with early‐retirements and voluntary terminations and (only in 2016) gains with the revision of the Collective Labour Agreement (ACT) ‐ Income from services rendered to CaixaBank Group / Commercial banking gross income

Return on Equity (ROE) 1) = Net income for the period / Average value in the period of shareholders' equity attributable to BPI shareholders after deduction of the fair value reserve (net of deferred taxes) related to available‐for‐sale financial assets

Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE) 1) = Net income for the period / Average value in the period of shareholders' equity attributable to BPI shareholders after deduction of intangible net assets and goodwill of equity holdings

Return on Assets (ROA) 1) = (Net income attributable to BPI shareholders + Income attributable to non‐controlling interests ‐ preference shares dividends paid) / Average value in the period of net total assets

Unitary intermediation margin = Loan portfolio (excluding loans to employees) average interest rate ‐ Deposits average interest rate

BALANCE SHEET AND FUNDING INDICATORS

On‐balance sheet customer resources = Deposits + Capitalisation insurance of fully consolidated subsidiaries + Participating units in consolidated investment funds

Where:

  • Deposits = Demand deposits and other + Term and savings deposits + Interest payable + Retail bonds (Fixed / variable rate bonds and structured products placed with customers + Certificates of deposit + Subordinated bonds placed with customers)
  • Capitalisation insurance of fully consolidated subsidiaries (BPI Vida e Pensões sold in Dec.17) = Unit links capitalisation insurance and "Aforro" capitalisation insurance and others (Technical provisions + Guaranteed rate and guaranteed retirement capitalisation insurance)

Note: The amount of on‐balance sheet customer resources is not deducted of applications of off‐balance sheet products (mutual funds and pension funds) in on‐balance sheet products

Assets under management = Mutual funds + Capitalisation insurance + Pension funds

  • Mutual funds = Unit trust funds + Real estate investment funds + Retirement‐savings and equity‐savings plans ("PPR" and "PPA" in Portuguese) + Hedge funds + Assets from funds under BPI Suisse management + Third‐party unit trust funds placed with customers
  • Capitalisation insurance = third‐party capitalisation insurance placed with customers

1) Ratio refers to the last 12 months, except where otherwise indicated. The ratio can be computed for the cumulative period since the beginning of the year, in annualised terms, in which case it will be clearly marked.

Pension Funds = pension funds under BPI management (includes BPI pension funds) Notes:

(i) Amounts deducted of participation units in the Group banks' portfolios and of placements of off‐balance sheet products (mutual funds and pension plans) in other off‐balance sheet products.

(ii) Following the sale of BPI Vida e Pensões in Dec. 17, the capitalisation insurance placed with BPI's customers was recognised off balance sheet, as "third‐party capitalisation insurance placed with customers" and pension funds management was excluded from BPI's consolidation perimeter.

Subscriptions in public offerings = Customer subscriptions of third‐party public offerings

Total customer resources On‐balance sheet customer resources + Assets under management + Subscriptions in public offerings

Gross loans to customers = Gross Loans and advances to customers (financial assets at amortized cost), excluding other assets (guarantee accounts and others) + Gross debt securities issued by customers (financial assets at amortized cost)

Note: gross loans = performing loans + loans in arrears + interest receivable

Net loans to customers = Gross loans to customers – Impairments for loans to customers

1. FINANCIAL GROUP

Banco BPI S.A., (Hereinafter referred to as "Banco BPI", "BPI " or "Bank"), with corporate tax identification no. 501 214 534 and registered under the same number in the Commercial registry office of Porto, with registered office at Rua Tenente Valadim, no. 284, in Porto, is an entity focusing its activity on commercial banking in Portugal, and providing financial services and products to Individuals and Corporate and institutional Customers. The Bank serves a Customer base of 1.91 million Customers through a multispecialist, multi-channel and fully integrated distribution network.

BPI started operating in 1981 with the foundation of SPI – Sociedade Portuguesa de Investimentos, S.A.R.L.. By public deed dated December 1984, SPI – Sociedade Portuguesa de Investimentos, S.A.R.L. changed its corporate name to BPI – Banco Português de Investimento, S.A., which was the first private investment bank created after the re-opening, in 1984, of the Portuguese banking sector to private investment. On 30 November 1995 BPI – Banco Português de Investimento, S.A. (BPI Investimentos) was transformed into BPI - SGPS, S.A., which operated exclusively as BPI's holding company. On 20 December, 2002, BPI SGPS, S.A. incorporated, by merger, the net assets and operations of Banco BPI and changed its corporate name to Banco BPI, S.A..

In the context of its public tender offer for the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Banco BPI, on 8 February 2017 (date of the "Regulated Market Special Session" conducted to announce the result of the public tender offer), CaixaBank acquired shares representative of 39.0% of Banco BPI voting rights. Considering CaixaBank previously owned 45.5%, its overall share ownership reached 84.5% of Banco BPI's voting rights. From February 2017, Banco BPI is included in the CaixaBank Group consolidation perimeter, and its financial statements are consolidated in accordance with the full consolidation method. Following the acquisition by CaixaBank of an 8.4% stake held by Allianz in the share capital of the Bank, and other acquisitions on the regulated market, on 29 June 2018 Banco BPI's General Meeting approved the Bank's loss of status of public company under the terms and for the purposes of Article 27-1-b) of the Securities Code. A request for approval of the loss of status of public company was submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (CMVM), and was approved on 14 December 2018. On 18 December 2018 CaixaBank launched a Tender Offer Aimed at Full Control and Compulsory Acquisition of Banco BPI S.A. shares. As of 31 December 2018, CaixaBank holds 100% of the share capital of Banco BPI.

In April 2018, the holdings in BPI Gestão de Activos and BPI Global Investment Management Company (BPI GIF) were sold to the Caixabank Group. The results generated by these entities in 2018 are presented in a single line of the Income Statement under the heading "Profit/(loss) from discontinued operations".

The winding-up process of Banco BPI Cayman, Ltd and BPI Capital Africa (Proprietary) Limited was concluded in 2018 and these two companies were closed down. These companies were fully held by BPI Madeira.

In 31 December 2018, following the loss of Banco BPI's significant influence over Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), the equity holding in BFA was reclassified in the consolidated balance sheet from Investments in joint ventures and associates to Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - equity instruments, and revalued at fair value.

In January 2019, the sale of the legal positions related to share brokerage, research and corporate finance activities to Caixabank was realized by Banco Português de Investimento, SA at the book value of the net assets of those activities at the closing date of the transaction (3.9 million euros).

As of 30 June 2019, Banco BPI on a consolidated basis, was made up of the following companies:

The financial information provided in the above table was drawn from the unaudited financial statements of the relevant companies as of 30 June 2019. However, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Banco BPI believes that there will be no changes with a significant impact on the Bank's consolidated net profit.

The vehicles through which Banco BPI's debt securitisation operations are carried out are recorded in the consolidated financial statements according to BPI's continued involvement in these operations, determined based on the percentage of the equity interest held in the respective vehicles. As of 30 June 2019, BPI held 100% of the equity pieces in those vehicles, which are therefore fully consolidated. Securitisations, all issued through SAGRES - Sociedade de Titularização de Créditos, S.A., are as follows:

  • Securitisation of residential mortgage loans Douro Mortgages No. 2
  • Securitisation of residential mortgage loans Douro Mortgages No. 3
  • Securitisation of loans to SMEs Douro SME No. 2

On 21 June 2019 the notes under the Securitisation of residential mortgage loans - Douro Mortgages No. 1 were reimbursed in advance.

2. BASES OF PRESENTATION AND MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A) Bases of presentation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the accounting records of Banco BPI and its subsidiary and associated companies, in conformity with the International Accounting Standards / International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union and in force on 1 January 2018, in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of 19 July of the European Parliament and of the Council, transposed into Portuguese legislation through Bank of Portugal Notice no. 5/2015 of 30 December.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as provided for in IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018 have been approved by the Board of Directors of Banco BPI at April 15 and by the general meeting of shareholders at 29 April 2019

In the preparation of the 2018 consolidated annual accounts, the consolidation principles, accounting policies and valuation criteria described in Note 2. Bases of Presentation and Main Accounting Policies, in the 2018 Annual Report, were applied with a view to obtaining a true picture of the financial situation of BPI as at 31 December 2018 as well as of its results, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows at that date.

Banco BPI's condensed interim consolidated financial statements for 30 June 2019 were prepared based on the same principles and accounting policies described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2018, applying in particular IAS 34 (Interim financial reporting), except those resulting from regulatory changes that came into effect on 01 January 2019, which are detailed in the section Adoption of standards (new or revised) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC), as endorsed by the European Union.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2019 have been approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Banco BPI at 24 September 2019.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, BPI follows the historical cost convention, modified when applicable for the measurement at fair value of:

  • Financial assets and liabilities held for trading
  • Financial assets not designated for trading compulsorily measured at fair value through profit or loss

  • Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • Derivatives

The figures are presented in thousands of euros (t.euros) unless the use of another monetary unit is stated. Certain financial information in these notes was rounded off and, consequently, the figures shown herein as totals may differ slightly from the arithmetic sum of the individual figures given before them.

Adoption of standards (new or revised) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as endorsed by the European Union

At 1 January 2019 the following accounting standards came into force (Note 2. B - Main accounting policies):

Standards and interpretations Name
IFRS 16 Leases
Amendment to IFRS 9 Accounting treatment options for financial assets with negative compensation features
Amendment to IAS 19 Requirement to use updated assumptions for the calculation of remaining responsibilities
Amendment to IAS 28 Long-term investments in associates and joint ventures
Annual improvements to IFRS 2015-2017 Clarifications to: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11
Interpretation to IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments

On 1 January 2019, Banco BPI adopted the following accounting standards:

  • IFRS 16 (new), 'Leases'. This new standard replaces IAS 17 'Leases' with a significant impact on the accounting by lessees who are now required to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a "right-of-use asset" for all lease contracts, except for certain short-term leases and for low-value assets. The definition of a lease contract also changed, being based on the "right to control the use of an identified asset". The application of IFRS 16 may be retrospective or retrospective modified. The impacts from adoption of this standard are described in this note – Comparability of the Information.
  • IFRS 9 (amendment), 'Prepayment features with negative compensation'. The amendment introduces the possibility to classify certain financial assets with negative compensation features at amortised cost, provided that specific conditions are fulfilled, instead of being classified at fair value through profit or loss. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • IAS 19 (amendment), Plan amendment, Curtailment or Settlement'. This amendment requires an entity to: i) use updated assumptions to determine the current service cost and net interest for the remaining period after amendment, reduction or settlement of the plan; and ii) recognise in the income statement as part of the cost of past services, or as a gain or loss in the settlement, any reduction in the excess of coverage, even if the excess of coverage had not been previously recognised, due to the impact of the asset ceiling. The impact on asset ceiling is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, not being allowed to recycle it through profit for the year. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • IAS 28 (amendment), 'Long-term interests in Associates and Joint Ventures'. The amendment clarifies that long-term investments in associates and joint ventures (components of an entity's investments in associates and joint ventures), that are not being measured through the equity method, are to be measured in accordance with IFRS 9 – 'Financial instruments'. The long-term investments in associates and joint ventures are subject to the expected credit loss impairment model, prior to being added, for impairment test purposes, to the whole investment in associates and joint ventures, when impairment indicators exist. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • Improvements to standards 2015 – 2017. The 2015-2017 annual improvements impact: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • IFRIC 23 (new), 'Uncertainty over income tax treatment'. This is an interpretation of IAS 12 'Income tax', and refers to the measurement and recognition requirements to be applied when there is uncertainty as to the acceptance of an income tax treatment by the tax authorities. In the event of uncertainty as to the position of the tax authority on a specific transaction, the entity shall make its best estimate and record the income tax assets or liabilities under IAS 12, and not under IAS 37 – 'Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets', based on the expected value or the most probable value. The application of IFRIC 23 may be retrospective or retrospective modified. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.

The standards (new and amendments) that will become effective, on or after 1 January 2020, not yet endorsed by the EU, are the following:

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB:

Standards and interpretations Name Mandatory application starting
on:
Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a business 1 January 2020
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of material 1 January 2020
Conceptual structure Amendments to references to other IFRS 1 January 2020
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts 1 January 2021
  • IFRS 3 (amendment), 'Definition of a business (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The amendment revises the definition of a business in order to account for business combinations. The new definition requires that an acquisition include an input, as well as a substantial process that jointly generate outputs. Outputs are now defined as goods and services rendered to customers, that generate investment income and other income, and exclude returns as lower costs and other economic benefits for shareholders. Optional 'concentration tests' for the assessment if one transaction is the acquisition of an asset or a business combination, are allowed. This amendment will apply to transactions ocurring after its entry into force.
  • IAS 1 and IAS 8 (amendment), 'Definition of material' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The amendment revises the concept of material. Includes clarifications as to obscured information, its effect being similar to the omission or distortion of information; and also clarifications as to the term 'primary users of general purpose financial statements', defined as 'existing or potential investors, lenders and other creditors' that rely on general purpose financial statements to obtain a significant part of the information that they need. The future adoption of this amendment is not expected to have significant impact on the Bank's financial statements.
  • Conceptual framework, 'Amendments to references in other IFRS' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). These amendments are still subject to endorsement by the European Union. As a result of the publication of the new Conceptual Framework, the IASB introduced changes to the text of various standards and interpretations, like: IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 6, IFRS 14, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 34, IAS 37, IAS 38, IFRIC 12, IFRIC 19, IFRIC 20, IFRIC 22, SIC 32, in order to clarify the application of the new definitions of asset / liability and expense / income, in addition to some of the characteristics of financial information. These amendments are retrospective, except if impractical. The future adoption of this amendments is not expected to have significant impacts on the Bank's financial statements.
  • IFRS 17 (new), 'Insurance contracts' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021). This standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This new standard replaces IFRS 4 and applies to all entities issuing insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation characteristics. IFRS 17 is based on the current measurement of technical liabilities at each reporting date. The current measurement can be based on a complete "building block approach" or "premium allocation approach". The recognition of the technical margin is different depending on whether it is positive or negative. IFRS 17 is of retrospective application. Banco BPI does not have subsidiaries operating in the insurance business and therefore no effects on the Bank's financial statements are expected as a result of adoption of this standard.

Responsibility for the information and for the main estimates made

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements required to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions in order to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and obligations recognised in them. These judgements, estimates and assumptions relate primarily to:

  • Impairment losses on financial assets and the associated guarantees based on their accounting classification imply the adoption of assumptions relating to: i) the consideration of "significant increase in credit risk" (SICR), ii) definition of default; and iii) the inclusion of forward-looking information (Note 8).
  • Fair value of some financial assets and liabilities (Note 36). The fair value of unlisted financial assets and derivatives was estimated based on valuation methods and financial theories, the results of which depend on the assumptions used.
  • Actuarial assumptions used to measure post-employment liabilities and commitments (Note 18). Retirement and survivor pension liabilities have been estimated based on actuarial tables, assumptions of the increase in pensions and salaries and discount rates. These assumptions are based on Banco BPI's expectations for the period during which the liabilities will be settled.
  • Current and deferred taxes have been recognised based on the tax legislation currently applicable to Banco BPI or on legislation already published for future application (Note 20). Different interpretations of tax legislation can influence the amount of income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recognised based on the assumption of future earnings and taxable income.
  • The measurement of investments in joint ventures and associates and determination of the share of profit/(loss) of these investments (Note 10).
  • The measurement of provisions and contingent liabilities and respective probability of occurring (Note 16).
  • The useful life of tangible assets, including rights-of-use assets and intangible assets (Notes 11 and 12).

Estimates used are based on the best information available at the time of preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements. Subsequent events may require changing the estimates in future periods. In accordance with the applicable legislation and BPI's governance systems, the effects of these changes would be accounted for on a prospective basis in the corresponding income statement, in accordance with IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, change in estimates and errors.

Comparability of the information

The figures for 31 December 2018, as well as for the six-month period ended on 30 June 2018, included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, are presented for comparative purposes only.

IFRS 16 – "Leases"

As stated in this note in the "A) Basis of presentation" section, Banco BPI has applied IFRS 16 – "Leases" from 1 January 2019. In this sense, it has decided not to reassess whether an agreement is a lease or contains a lease component in accordance with the criteria of the standard, applying it solely for agreements that had been identified as leases in accordance with the previous standard.

For leases in which the Bank intervenes as lessee, previously classified as operating leases, BPI applied the new standard retroactively, following the modified retrospective approach, which permits to estimate the value of the right of use by reference to the transaction's financial liability, therefore not requiring any adjustment to reserves as at 1 January 2019. In addition, it was decided to exclude from the scope, in line with the simplifications considered in the new regulatory framework, lease agreements whose term expires within the twelve months following the initial application date.

The main type of agreements identified for which a right-of-use asset and a lease liability had to be estimated at 1 January 2019 were real estate leases in connection with Banco BPI's operating activity (office buildings used by the commercial network and central services).

The balance sheet items at 31 December 2018 relative to lease agreements were not restated and therefore their detail is not directly comparable with the information presented for 30 June 2019.

At 1 January 2019 the coming into force of this standard implied the recognition of a right of use in the amount of 89 million euros and a transfer of costs for rents paid, in the amount of 12 million euros, recognised under other administrative expenses up to 31 December 2018, to costs with depreciation and amortisation of tangible assets, in the period ended on 30 June 2019.

The impact of the adoption of IFRS16 on 1 January 2019, by balance sheet caption, was as follows:

B) Main accounting policies

Except as indicated below, Banco BPI's condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2019 were prepared using the same principles, accounting policies and criteria used for the 2018 consolidated annual accounts.

All accounting principles and measurement bases that could have a significant effect were applied in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

For all the areas not stated in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the definitions, criteria and policies described in Note 2 of the 2018 consolidated annual report remain applicable.

2.1. Leases

During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank adopted IFRS 16 "Leases". As a result of this, an assessment has been carried out on the accounting policies in the areas indicated in this note, applicable from 1 January 2019. The main changes in the Bank's accounting policies, deriving from the adoption of IFRS16, are set out below:

1 For agreements that have a leasing component, one or more additional leasing components and others that are not leasing components, the agreement payment will be distributed to each leasing component on the basis of the relative price, regardless of the leasing component, based on aggregate price, and on the basis of the independent aggregate price of the non-leasing components.

borrow, with a similar maturity and
guarantee, the funds necessary to
obtain an asset of similar value to
that of the right-of-use asset in a
similar economic context.
Valued at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method and
revalued (with the corresponding
adjustment to the related right-of
use asset) when there is a change
in future payments due to
renegotiation, index or rate
changes or in the event of a re
evaluation of the agreement's
options.
Open-end agreements: For these agreements, and based on the terms of Law 13/2019, the lessor may
terminate the agreement by notifying the bank (the lessee) not less than 5 years in advance of the date on
which he intends to terminate the agreement. Therefore a term of 5 years was considered for these
agreements, starting on 1 January 2019.
Term of the
agreement
Fixed-term agreements, with or without option of early termination by the Bank (with only a non-significant
compensation): As a general rule, the lease term matches the initial agreement duration.
For automatically renewable (annually or half-yearly) property leasing agreements with Banco BPI's Pension
Fund, a term of 5 years1 was assumed, starting on 1 January 2019, taking into account that the pension fund in
an entity related with the Bank, the agreements' automatic and constant renewal, and the fact that there is no
economic incentive for the pension fund to exercise the termination options provided for in said agreements.
At the start date of the agreement Subsequently

1 The 5-year term is in line with Banco BPI's strategic guidelines on the renewal of current lease agreements, taking into account the Bank and industry context, from the standpoint of business risk management and management of the fixed assets associated to the agreements.

2 The Bank calculated these interest rates taking as a reference the cost of debt instruments, adding to the base market curve (swaps vs 6M Euribor) the covered and senior debt spreads for BPI.

The implementation of IFRS16 involved making estimates on the duration of agreements and decisions on the disaggregation of components related to services that were included in the formalised lease agreements.

3. RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1. Overview and risk factors

The following risk factors had a significant influence on BPI's management in the 1st half of 2019, due to their impact during the period and their long-term implications for the Bank:

Macroeconomic environment

  • The global economy maintains a considerable level of uncertainty, the main source of which has been the persistence of trade strains between the U.S. and China and their potential impact on the European Union economy. The meeting at the end of June between Trump and Xi could have been a starting point for the resumption of negotiations, however geopolitical uncertainty is likely to linger over the medium term.
  • In the Eurozone the activity indicators continue to point to moderate economic growth, even if the first quarter GDP growth was higher than expected. On the other hand, the European scenario remains marked by the difficulties in reaching an exit agreement for the United Kingdom (the Brexit), and the risk of a disorderly Brexit has increased.
  • The Portuguese economy stands out from the European feeble economic growth context, posting lower growth rates, but still close to 2%. Nevertheless, high geopolitical uncertainty and the moderate growth of our European partners could constrain the pace of Portuguese exports, and a slower than initially estimated pace of growth should be expected for the second half of the year. This context will likely deepen the goods account deficit, with the vigour of tourism being insufficient to prevent a widening of the external deficit in 2019. Robust growth and funding costs at record lows, together with a budget consolidation policy, should support the path of sustained reduction in the public debt ratio.

Regulatory Framework

The main regulatory developments and public consultations in the area of risk are outlined below:

  • Approval and publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) of the "Proposal of CRDV Package": on 16 April the European Union approved the review, started in November 2016 by the European Commission, of the so-called "banking package", which covers the CRD V, CRR II, BRRD II and SRMR II texts1 . The review basically transposes the standards agreed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (prior to the 2017 agreement on the completion of Basel III, the adoption of which will be addressed from the second half of 2019). The aforementioned legislative package came into force on 27 June 2019, with December 2020 as the deadline for the adoption of the directives, whereas the majority of the changes included in the CRR II regulation are applicable from June 2021.
  • Brexit, Contingency Action Plan: at the beginning of 2019, a set of legislative measures were adopted at national level to prepare for a no-deal Brexit scenario, namely: Law no 27-A/2019 of 28 March, which approves contingency measures to be applied in the event of a no-deal exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and Council of Ministers Resolution no. 48/2019, which identifies preparedness and contingency measures which the Portuguese Government proposes to adopt to minimize the effects of the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union on economic agents, companies, investment and tourism. In addition, the European Banking Association (EBA), the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have agreed on a template for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing the bases for cooperation and information exchange between the EU and UK authorities.
  • Exposures associated with high risks: the EBA published its final guidelines, applicable from 1 July 2019, regarding the types of exposures to be associated with particularly high risk under Article 128 (3) of Regulation (EU) 575/2013 (CRR), which should be assigned a risk weight of 150% under the standardised approach.
  • On 25 February the EBA published the new Guidelines on Outsourcing, which update the previous guidelines on Outsourcing, published in 2006 (CEBS), and incorporate the recommendations of December 2017 on outsourcing to cloud service providers. These guidelines apply as of 30 September 2019, and affect all outsourcing contracts.
  • On 25 May the EBA completed a consultation on its Guidelines on Credit Risk Mitigation techniques for banks that use internal models with own estimates of LGD. The guidelines aim to eliminate existing differences in risk mitigation techniques, deriving from supervisory practices or from choices specific to the entity.

1 The acronyms correspond to Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive (CRR/CRD), Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) and Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (SRMR), respectively.

  • On 6 March the EBA published the final version of its Guidelines for the estimation of LGD appropriate for an economic downturn (Downturn LGD estimation), supplementing the EBA Guidelines on PD and LGD estimation, which will apply from 1 January 2021.
  • On 13 March the consultation period for the EBA Guidelines on ICT and security risk management ended. These guidelines establish the requirements applicable to credit institutions, investment firms and payment services providers in relation to the mitigation and management of their ICT and security risks.
  • Publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of Regulation 2019/630, amending Regulation (EU) 575/2013 (CRR) as regards minimum loss coverage for non-performing exposures (NPLs), or prudential backstop. This regulation establishes the deductions to own funds which must be made if the minimum coverage levels for new loans that become NPLs are not reached. The amended regulation came into force on 26 April 2019.
  • On 18 June, the extension of the mandate of the Technical Expert Group on Sustainable Finance (TEG), which aims to assist the European Commission in the implementation of the Action Plan for sustainable finance, was announced. Simultaneously, within the same framework, the European Commission has published new Guidelines on climate-related disclosures, as part of its Action Plan for Sustainable Finance.
  • On 19 June the EBA launched the consultation process on its draft Guidelines on Loan Origination and Monitoring with the aim of ensuring that the institutions have robust and prudent standards for credit risk taking, management and monitoring. The proposed guidelines ensure alignment with the regulations in force on consumer protection and the prevention of money laundering.
  • Enactment on 6 August 2019 of the Framework Law on Housing, which establishes, inter alia, that "residential mortgage borrowers in a very difficult economic situation may benefit from a legal protection regime that, among others, provides for the possibility of debt restructuring, transfer in lieu of payment, or alternative measures to foreclosure". In this context "the transfer in lieu of payment of the debt, extinguishing the debtor's obligations regardless of the value attributed to the property for this purpose" can only be contemplated if it has been contractually established, the credit institution being responsible for providing this information prior to entering into the contract.
  • Publication in the Diário da República of Law 23/2019, of 13 March 2019, which established full deposit protection against senior unsecured debt instruments in the event of a bank resolution.
  • Finally, on 12 February 12, publication in Diário da República of Law No. 15/2019, which introduces changes to the General Regime of Credit Institutions and Financial Companies, clarifying the powers of the Assembly of the Republic's Parliamentary Committees of Inquiry and establishing the duties of transparency and scrutiny to which capitalisation, resolution, nationalisation or liquidation operations of credit institutions resorting, directly or indirectly, to public funds, will be subject. Article 6 of this Law imposed on Banco de Portugal the obligation to prepare and deliver to the Assembly of the Republic an Extraordinary Report containing a set of "Relevant Information" concerning the "Covered Credit Institutions" in which, in the twelve years prior to the publication of that Law, any of the situations provided for therein have occurred.

3.2. Credit risk

3.2.1. Overview

Credit risk is one of the most significant risks faced in Banco BPI 's operations. Further information about credit risk, namely regarding the management process for the various credit segments, can be found in the Risk Management section of the 2018 Annual Report.

Banco BPI receives, among others, the following collateral within the scope of its loan granting business:

  • Mortgages on own housing;
  • Mortgages on third-party property;
  • Deposit of assets;
  • Pledge of securities;
  • Guarantees provided by other credit institutions.

At 30 June 2019 the maximum exposures to credit risk on the balance sheet, including counterparty risk, was as follows:

1 CCF – Credit Conversion Factor for guarantees given and credit commitments.

2Does not include cash and cash balances in central banks.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is the gross carrying amount, except in the case of derivatives, where it is the exposure value according to the mark-to-market method, which is calculated as the sum of current and potential exposures:

  • Current exposure: the highest value between zero and the market value of an operation or of a portfolio of operations with a counterparty which can be offset in the event of default by the counterparty, assuming that nothing from the value of the operations will be recovered in the event of insolvency or liquidation of the counterparty, except for the collateral received.
  • Potential risk: change in the credit exposure as a result of future changes in the valuation of an operation or in the valuation of operations that can be offset with a counterparty during the residual term to maturity.

Concerning BPI's commercial activity, the Bank gears its lending activity towards meeting the financing needs of families (consumer and residential mortgage loans) and businesses, seeking to maintain a medium-low risk profile, as established in the RAF and the 2019-2021 Strategic Plan.

BPI shares with the CaixaBank Group the principles and policies that support credit risk management, which may be summarised as follows:

  • An adequate relationship between income and the commitments assumed by the consumers.
  • Documentary proof of the information provided by the borrower concerning its solvency.
  • Adequate pre-contractual information about the personal circumstances and characteristics of each Customer and operation.
  • Adequate independent assessment of real estate collateral.

Risk mitigation

Lending is always based on the assessment of the Customer's capacity to generate sufficient funds for the timely service of the debt, and on a risk-adjusted pricing policy. The requirement of personal or real guarantees, as a risk mitigator, is always considered at the time of granting a loan.

In the decision to require guarantees, several factors are weighted, namely the rating assigned to the Customer, and the nature and term of the operations. The term in particular is one of the more sensitive factors due to the uncertainty it entails, which is why medium and long-term transactions usually have associated real guarantees.

The rules on the acceptance of guarantees, control of their formalisation, and monitoring of their value during the transactions lifetime, through regular evaluations and their release are set out in specific internal regulations.

The guarantees foreseen in the internal regulations are those typified in the law, the most usual being personal guarantees (of individuals or companies) by endorsement or security, and in the case of real guarantees, the mortgage, the pledge of assets and the financial pledge. Financial instruments such as derivatives or repos are covered by standard agreements that establish the daily exchange of collaterals, guaranteeing coverage of the counterparty risk.

All guarantees are recorded in a dedicated software application. The funds are only made available to the Customer after or upon verification of the guarantees provided.

The classification by stage of loans to Customers and associated guarantees is as follows:

3.2.2. Concentration Risk

In Banco BPI's Risk Catalogue, concentration risk is conceptually included within credit risk and is calculated according to CaixaBank Group's best practices.

Banco BPI's Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) uses metrics to systematically identify overall exposure to a particular Customer or geographic location, as well as appetite limits to concentration risk.

Concentration in customers or in "large exposures"

As part of the risk-taking process, the Bank monitors compliance with the regulatory limits (25% of own funds) as well as the limits to concentration risk appetite (according to the objectives defined in the RAF). At the close of the first semester of 2019, there was no breach of the defined limits.

Concentration by geographic location

Concentration by industry sector

Risk concentration by economic sector is subject to BPI's RAF limits (level 1), differentiating between private sector economic activities and public sector financing.

Concentration by sovereign risk

Banco BPI's exposure to entities with sovereign risk is subject to the general risk-taking policy, which ensures that all positions taken are aligned with the target risk profile. Therefore, metrics and limits of exposure to the Portuguese public sector and to the public sector of all other countries were established in the Risk Appetite Framework. The Bank's exposure to entities with sovereign risk is for the most part concentrated in Portugal, Spain and Italy.

Exposure to entities with sovereign risk

The table below shows the breakdown of BPI's exposure to sovereign debt:

3.3. Market risk

The table below shows the values of average VaR at 99% with a time horizon of two weeks (10 business days) in accordance with BPI's different risk factors. As can be seen, the value of the risk is immaterial, given the limited expression of open positions in the trading book.

Total Interest Rate Exchange Rate Share prices
Average VAR first semester 2019 136 100 56 49
Average VAR 2018 264 58 48 245

In the first semester of 2019, the average and the maximum value of the VaR at 99% with a time horizon of one day (adjusted for root of 10) in BPI's trading activities was 136 t.euros and 225 t.euros, respectively.

Capital requirements for market risk are determined based on the standardised approach. The values calculated are insignificant, given the low representativeness of the portfolio.

3.4. Structural interest rate risk

The management of this market risk by Banco BPI seeks to i) optimise the net interest income and ii) preserve the economic value of the balance sheet, while at all times taking into account the metrics and thresholds of the risk appetite framework in terms of the volatility of the net interest income and the sensitivity of economic value. These objectives are defined in accordance with the policies established at CaixaBank Group level.

The table below shows, using a static gap, the distribution of contractual maturities and interest rate repricings of interest-rate sensitive amounts in the banking book, at 30 June 2019:

The sensitivity of net interest income and economic value are complementary measures that provide an overview of structural interest rate risk, which is more focused on the short and medium term in the first case and on the medium and long term in the second.

The table below shows the sensitivity of the net interest income and the economic value of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities to a 200 basis points interest rate instantaneous increase and decrease:

Amounts as % of baseline scenario +200 pb -200 pb3
Net interest income 1 +29.5% -15.6%
Asset value (banking book)2 +7.8% +2.6%

1 Net interest income sensitivity at 1 year

2 Economic value baseline sensitivity

3 In the case of falling-rate scenarios the applied internal methodology accepts negative interest rates. Given the current level of interest rates, the methodology accepts an interest-rate decline shock of up to approximately -1%. For example, considering a EONIA curve interest rate of -0.40%, the interest rate subject to a shock of -1% in this curve could be as low as -1.40%.

3.5. Exchange rate risk

Banco BPI has foreign currency assets and liabilities in its balance sheet, mainly as a result of its commercial activity, including foreign currency assets and liabilities deriving from the transactions carried out to mitigate exchange rate risk in that activity. The Bank also has some foreign currency structural positions related to equity holdings in financial Institutions outside the Eurozone.

At 30 June 2019, the equivalent euro value of all foreign currency assets and liabilities was as follows:

The exchange rate risk in the Bank's regular activity may be hedged through on-balance sheet operations (deposits or foreign currency investments) or through financial derivatives that mitigate the risk of positions in foreign currency. It should be noted that the nominal value of derivatives is not reflected directly in the balance sheet but in off-balance sheet accounts. The approach to foreign-exchange risk management at Banco BPI is to seek to minimise the positions assumed, which explains the Bank's low exposure to this risk.

The relevant foreign exchange positions held by Banco BPI result from the equity holdings in financial institutions of countries outside the Eurozone, notably in Banco de Fomento de Angola (position in Angolan Kwanzas) and Banco Comercial e de Investimentos S.A. (Positions in Mozambique Metical). BFA's fair value estimate factors in a projection of the foreign exchange devaluation of the Kwanza, and in the case of the equity holdings, the impact of foreign exchange changes also depends on the composition of the balance sheet of each of those companies.

Excluding the foreign currency positions in Kwanza and Metical resulting from the equity holdings in BFA and BCI, BPI's exposure and sensitivity to exchange rate risk is not significant, taking into account the existing hedges.

3.6. Liquidity risk

Banco BPI manages liquidity risk with the objective of maintaining liquidity levels that allow them to respond, in a timely manner, to its payment obligations, without investment activities being affected by lack of funds, while maintaining a balanced balance sheet structure in the long term. Liquidity risk is managed in its various aspects: i) the ability to keep up with assets growth and to meet cash requirements without incurring exceptional losses; ii) the maintenance in the portfolio of tradable assets that constitute a sufficient liquidity buffer; (iii) compliance with the various regulatory requirements in the context of liquidity risk.

The breakdown of BPI's total liquid assets is as follows:

3.7. Other risks

There were no significant changes in the risk levels and in the policies during the first semester of 2019.

4. SOLVENCY MANAGEMENT

4.1. Regulatory framework

The global regulatory framework for supervision and prudential rules on solvency, known as Basel III, came into force in the European Union through Directive 2013/36 (CRD IV) and Regulation 575/2013 (CRR), in which a progressive schedule of implementation is established for the respective requirements.

Furthermore, the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), which configures Pillar II of the Basel regulatory framework, consists of an ongoing supervision process to evaluate the adequacy of capital, liquidity, corporate governance, and risk management and control, harmonised at European level by the EBA. The SREP process may require additional capital or liquidity, or other qualitative measures in response to any risks and weaknesses specifically detected. The SREP seeks to assess the individual viability of entities, considering cross-cutting analyses and comparisons against their peers. Any potential additional capital requirements are complemented by combined capital buffer requirements.

4.2. Capital management

At 30 June 2019, Banco BPI had a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.1%, a Tier 1 ratio of 13.1% and a total ratio of 14.9%, without considering the 2019 interim results in the calculation of these ratios.

Considering the inclusion of the interim results and the upper end (payout of 50%) of the range set forth in Banco BPI's Long-Term Dividend Policy2 , as established in Art. 2 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 241/2014, the CET1 ratio would be 13.4%, the Tier 1 ratio would be 13.4% and the total ratio would be 15.2%.

2 The Long-Term Dividend Policy of Banco BPI approved by the single shareholder, CaixaBank, S.A., by Unanimous Written Resolution on 31 January 2019, provides for the distribution of an annual dividend, tendentially between 30% and 50% of the net income reported in the individual accounts for the year to which it relates, where the exact amount to be proposed (by the Board of Directors to the General Meeting) shall be defined in light of a prudent judgement which takes into account, in view of the specific situation at the time of Banco BPI, the permanent satisfaction of adequate levels of liquidity and solvency.

5. DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Dividend policy

In line with the amendment to the articles of association of Banco BPI approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2006, these articles now include the following rule (Article 26- 3): "The General Shareholders' Meeting shall decide on the long-term dividend policy proposed by the Board of Directors, which shall justify any deviations from that policy."

For compliance with this statutory rule, Banco BPI's long-term dividend policy was approved on 31 January 2019, as follows:

1. General Principle

Subject to a proposal to be submitted by the Board of Directors to the General Meeting, distribution of an annual dividend tendentially between 30% and 50% of the net income reported in the individual accounts for the year to which it relates, with the exact amount to be proposed being defined in accordance with a prudent judgement that balances the situation of the Bank at the time with the need to maintain at all times adequate levels of liquidity and solvency.

2. Conditioning factors

The provisions of point 1 above represent a mere principle, which, as such, is not binding upon the General Meeting, which can at any time, not only change it, but also resolve on a percentage of distribution below the minimum 30% threshold or above the maximum 50% threshold therein referred, or on no distribution at all.

The provisions of item 1 are therefore only intended to:

  • i) give the shareholders and third parties a medium/long term perspective of the company's objectives in terms of dividend distribution;
  • ii) impose on the Board of Directors, when it intends to propose a dividend distribution outside the thresholds therein established, the duty of substantiating this option.

In addition, the distribution principle set out in the previous paragraph shall be subject to:

  • a) Compliance with the capital ratios at any time applicable to the Bank, whether under Pillar 1 or Pillar 2, as well as with other applicable legal provisions, namely those governing what is considered the "maximum distributable amount ";
  • b) When the net income determined in the individual accounts includes dividends from companies that have not yet been paid to the Bank, the Board of Directors shall exclude the amount of these dividends from the base used for the definition of the dividends to be distributed, whenever a prudent judgement so advises;
  • c) Respect for the findings and guidelines of the Bank's ICAAP and RAF at any time in force;
  • d) the absence of exceptional circumstances that justify, in the Board of Directors reasoned opinion, submitting to the Shareholders' deliberation the distribution of a dividend below the 30% threshold or above the 50% threshold.

The distribution of the 2018 results, made through the payment of dividends in the amount of 140 million euros, was approved by the Board of Directors on 15 April 2019 and subsequently at the Shareholders General Meeting on 29 April 2019:

2018
Net income reported in the individual accounts of Banco BPI 914 311
Net capital gain on revaluation of equity holding in BFA ( 456 676)
Net profit for dividend distribution purposes 457 635
Proposed appropriation of profit
To dividends 140 000
To legal reserve 91 431
To other reserves 682 880
Individual profit of Banco BPI in 2018 914 311
Payout ratio for dividend distribution purposes 30.6%

Basic and diluted earnings per share, as per the consolidated profit of Banco BPI attributable to its shareholders, are calculated as follows:

6. SEGMENTS

The objective of business segment reporting is to allow internal supervision and management of BPI's activity and consolidated income. To define and segregate segments, the inherent risks and management characteristics of each segment are considered. The information reporting used by management is essentially prepared on an accounting basis supported by the IFRS. Their preparation relies on i) the same presentation principles used for the Bank's management information, and ii) the same accounting principles and policies used to prepare the annual financial statements:

At 30 June 2019, BPI's segment reporting considers the following segments:

  • Domestic operations: includes the commercial banking business in Portugal and the equity holdings activity.
  • International operations: corresponds to the activity developed in Mozambique by Banco Comercial e de Investimentos, S.A.R.L. and the results associated to the equity holding in Banco de Fomento Angola, classified in the portfolio of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Commercial Banking

Banco BPI's operations are focused mainly on commercial banking. Commercial banking includes:

  • Retail Banking Commercial operations with individual Customers, individual entrepreneurs and companies with turnover of up to 5 million euros, developed through a multi-channel distribution network comprising traditional branches and investment centres. It also includes the Private Banking area, which is responsible for implementing strategies and submitting investment proposals to the Customers, and for the management of their financial assets.
  • Corporate Banking, Project Finance and Institutional Banking Commercial operations with companies with turnover above 2 million euros, operating alongside Retail banking in the segment of up to 5 million euros. Also includes project finance services and the relationship with Public Sector entities, state-owned and municipal Companies, the State Business Sector, Foundations and Associations. This segment operates through a network of corporate centres and institutional centres that cater to the area's business needs.

This segment also includes the Bank's residual activity, comprising segments that represent individually less than 10% of the Bank's total income, net profit and assets.

Equity holdings

This segment essentially comprises the income generated by associated companies and joint ventures in Portugal (Cosec, Allianz, Unicre and Inter-Risco) as well as the income associated to participation units in credit recovery and private equity funds, and to investments in shares.

At 30 June 2018:

  • The domestic activity also included the Asset Management and Investment Banking businesses, which were sold to CaixaBank in April 2018 and January 2019, respectively.
  • The international activity also included the equity holding in BPI Capital Africa (Proprietary) Limited, which was liquidated in December 2018.

The amount of inter-segment transactions is presented based on the effective conditions of the transactions and in accordance with the accounting policies used to prepare BPI's consolidated financial statements.

At 30 June 2019, the income statement by business segment of BPI was as follows: 1

7. DISCLOSURE OF THE REMUNERATION OF THE CORPORATE BODIES

The General Meeting of 20 April 2018 approved the "Remuneration Policy of Banco BPI applicable to the members of the Board of Directors and of the Supervisory Board" (hereinafter the "Remuneration Policy") for the 2017-2019 period.

In accordance with Banco BPI's Articles of Association, the members of the corporate bodies shall have a fixed remuneration and the members of the Executive Committee may receive, in addition to a fixed remuneration, a variable remuneration determined in accordance with the criteria defined in the remuneration policy for the members of the supervision and management bodies.

Note 8 to Banco BPI's 2018 consolidated financial statements presents in more detail the remuneration of the corporate bodies, namely of the members of Banco BPI's Board of Directors and Executive Committee.

By unanimous written resolution no. 2 of 29 April 2019, CaixaBank, Banco BPI's single shareholder, on a proposal by the Remuneration Committee, approved an amendment to the limit defined in paragraph b) of point 4.2.2 of the "Remuneration Policy of Banco BPI applicable to the members of the Board of Directors and of the Supervisory Board", to the effect of increasing the global limit of the variable component of the remuneration (under the form of a bonus) of executive directors from 1 400 t.euros to 1 550 t.euros, this new limit applying to the variable component of the remuneration of the executive directors to be attributed and/or paid in 2019 relative to their performance in 2018.

Fixed remuneration

The fixed remuneration and attendance fees received by the members of the Board of Directors, excluding those who are members of the Executive Committee, are shown below:

30-06-2019 30-06-2018
Fixed remuneration 3059 3032
Attendance fees 216 160
3275 3192
Number of persons 18 20

Variable remuneration

The members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors may be entitled to receive a variable remuneration. This variable remuneration is dependent upon the performance during a given year, and its attribution is usually decided and made during the first half of the following year.

On April 2019 the payment of a variable remuneration in the global amount of 1 503 t.euros to the members of the Executive Committee of Banco BPI for their performance in financial year 2018 was approved.

Under the terms of the applicable remuneration policy, this variable remuneration comprises one part in cash and another in financial instruments (CaixaBank shares), and it is subject to deferral, i.e., one part thereof is paid in the year in which it is attributed and the other part over the subsequent years.

Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA)

In January 2017 Banco BPI sold 2% of the share capital of Banco de Fomento Angola to Unitel, reducing its holding in BFA to 48.1%, and entering into an agreement with BFA's shareholders under which BPI was entitled to appoint two, from a maximum of fifteen, members of the Board of Directors of BFA, as well as one member of its Supervisory Board, and one member of the Risk Committee and the Remuneration Committee. BPI's stake in BFA's share capital and participation in BFA's governing bodies, although minoritary and not proportional to the share capital held, permitted to presume the existence of significant influence over BFA, in accordance with the IAS 28 provisions. Therefore, following the sale of 2% of BFA, Banco BPI classified its holding in BFA as an associate.

In December 2018, an assessment of the conditions on which the assumption of significant influence of Banco BPI over BFA in accordance with IAS 28 was based permitted to conclude that no real significant influence existed. From the main issues considered, one of the most important concerned the absence of BPI representatives in the executive body of BFA - the Executive Committee, which is the body responsible for the bank's operational management -, which determined BPI's lack of real power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of BFA under the terms set forth in paragraph 6 of IAS 28. BPI's minority position in BFA's Board of Directors, alongside a shareholder that holds control, also prevented BPI from having a real capacity to exercise significant influence in the management of BFA. In this context, the weight of BPI's participation in BFA's financial and operating policy decisions was much curtailed relative to initial expectations, based on the past experience of shareholders' relationship, where BPI played a key role in the management of BFA. Taking into account that increase in experience, assessment and knowledge about the shareholder relationship of BPI in BFA, it was considered that at the end of 2018 the circumstances on which the existence of real capacity on the part of BPI to exercise significant influence over BFA was based no longer existed. In view of these circumstances, at the end of 2018, BPI considered it appropriate to limit its presence in the committees and management bodies of BFA in which it was represented, maintaining only the minority presence in the aforementioned corporate bodies of BFA. The analysis and justification for the non-existence of significant influence are provided in Note 2.1 to the 2018 annual financial statements.

In accordance with the accounting standards, the loss of significant influence entailed, in Banco BPI's consolidated balance sheet, reclassifying the equity holding in BFA from Associate to Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - Equity instruments, and its revaluation at fair value. This change generated an impact of (138 626) t.euros in BFA's contribution to Banco BPI's net income, of which:

  • (157 975) t.euros resulting from the transfer to profit/(loss) of foreign exchange differences accumulated in other comprehensive income in 2017 and 2018,
  • 3 946 t.euros resulting from the revaluation of the equity holding in BFA at fair value, from 518 054 t.euros, to 522 000 t.euros ,
  • (15 403) t.euros of deferred tax liabilities associated to the above amounts.
In 2018 the total contribution of BFA to net consolidated income was as follows:
Income generated by BFA recognised in share of profit/(loss) in associates recognised by the equity method in 2018 241 645
Other Gains/(losses) on financial assets and liabilities and other ( 7 764)
Deferred taxes on net income/(loss) associated with BFA ( 22 037)
Reclassification of equity holding in BFA at 31 December 2018 ( 138 626)
Gains/(losses) on derecognition of non-financial assets (Note 30) ( 154 029)
Deferred taxes 15 403
Impact of BFA reclassification on 2018 net income 73 218
In the first semester of 2018, the contribution of BFA to net consolidated income was as follows:
Income generated by BFA recognised in share of profit/(loss) in associates recognised by the equity method 155 564
Other Gains/(losses) on financial assets and liabilities and other ( 5 127)
Deferred taxes on net income/(loss) associated with BFA ( 14 152)

In 2019, changes in the fair value of the equity holding in BFA were recognised in other comprehensive income (Note 8).

11. TANGIBLE ASSETS

This item of assets includes the properties acquired for own use by the Bank.

On 1 January 2019, with the entry into force of IFRS 16 – "Leases", a right of use in the amount of 89 million euros was recognised (note 2A - Comparability of the information).

During the first half of 2019 no individually significant profits or losses were recorded on sales of real estate.

The investments in tangible assets made during the first half of 2019 totalled 2 834 t.euros.

Besides the impact from the application of IFRS16, there were no other relevant movements in this caption during the first half of 2019.

12. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The investments made in the first half of 2019 totalled 9 170 t.euros, essentially concerning investment in the development of software commissioned by Banco BPI to external entities.

At 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018, the caption 'Credit operations pending settlement' included:

119 157 t.euros and 224 613 t.euros, respectively, relating to securitisation operations carried out by Banco BPI (notes 8 and 15), resulting from temporary differences between settlement of the securitised loans and settlement of the liability for assets not derecognised;

136 285

  • 6 711 t.euros and 26 627 t.euros, respectively, relating to taxes paid but which were challenged by Banco BPI. At the date of the financial statements there was no expected date for a decision in this regard. The main ongoing tax processes concern processes paid under Decree-Law no. 248-A/02, of 14 November, in the amount of 5 126 t.euros. The remainder (1 585 t.euros) concerns other processes prior to the merger carried out in 2002, relating to tax processes of various types; In addition, the balance at 31 December 2018 also includes 19 916 t.euros relating to Banco BPI VAT processes arising from tax inspections carried out to financial years 2004 to 2009, which was paid under Decree-Law 151-A/13 of 31 October, and was simultaneously fully provisioned for due to the uncertainty about whether this amount would be recovered. Consequently, as of the date of the financial statements, the amount of the asset and liability arising from these processes was derecognised (Note 16);
  • 2 216 t.euros and 2 683 t.euros, respectively, relating to home loans pending settlement.

Contingent liabilities

Competition Authority

In 2012, the Portuguese Competition Authority (CA), under the powers legally attributed to it, opened administrative infraction proceedings against 15 banks operating in the Portuguese market, including BPI, due to alleged competition restrictive practices. On 1 June 2015 Banco BPI was served the corresponding notice of illicit act. On 27 September 2017 the Bank presented its defence. During the process, and whenever appropriate, Banco BPI appealed against several interlocutory rulings issued by the Competition Authority, which the Bank considered as susceptible of violating its rights.

On 9 September 2019, the CA notified BPI and the other banks of its ruling whereby they had been found guilty. The penalty imposed on BPI was 30 million euros.

In its ruling, the CA:

  • a) Accuses BPI, as well as the other banks, of having engaged in exchanges of information during the period from May 2002 to March 2013 concerning (i) mortgage loan and consumer loan production volumes, and (ii) the commercial conditions for these types of loans and for loans to small businesses and SME, including spread tables;
  • b) Considers that such an exchange constitutes an infringement by object, i.e., an infringement which is deemed to have been committed irrespective of whether or not the conduct in question had negative effects on the competition, and therefore it is not necessary to prove such effects; in other words, for the infringement to be deemed as committed, it is sufficient to prove that the conduct is, in the abstract, capable of having adverse effects on competition.

Banco BPI argues that it did not commit the infringement of which it was accused by the CA, and will appeal from the aforementioned decision to the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court, from where the appeal will be filed with the Lisbon Court of Appeal.

In addition to disputing that the exchange of information took place in the manner alleged in the decision imposing the sanction, BPI considers that the information allegedly exchanged, either on account of its form and the time at which such exchange occurred, or on account of its content, was not capable of producing negative effects on the competition, there being no grounds for the assumptions on which the existence of an infringement by object, and therefore the decision imposing the sanction, were based. It is also the understanding of BPI that the alleged exchange of information did not have any negative effects on the market or on consumers, but on the contrary, at least in part, that it had pro-competitive effects.

Based on this framework of non-existent grounds for the decision and sentencing to be maintained by a final court ruling, and supported by the substantiated opinion of external legal consultants, the Executive Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors believes that the probabilities of the process ending without the Bank having to pay a fine are higher than the reverse occurring, and therefore no provision for this process has been recognised in the Bank's financial statements as at 30 June 2019.

18. LIABILITIES FOR PENSIONS AND OTHER BENEFITS

Past service liabilities for Pensioners, Employees and Directors that are, or have been, at the service of BPI companies3 , are calculated in accordance with IAS 19.

Benefits established by BPI are defined benefits based on the last salary earned and length of service, providing for the payment of benefits in the event of retirement due to old age or disability, death and end-of-career bonuses. The rules used to calculate these benefits are mainly drawn from the provisions of the Collective Labour Agreement for the Portuguese Banking Sector. There is also a restricted group of management staff that is covered by a supplementary defined benefit pension plan, based on the last salary earned and length of service.

With the publication of Decree-Law no. 1-A / 2011 of 3 January, from 1 January 2011 all banking sector employees who were beneficiaries of "CAFEB – Caixa de Abono de Família dos Empregados Bancários" were integrated into the General Social Security Scheme, being henceforth covered by this scheme for old-age pensions as well as for maternity, paternity and adoption allowances, which the Bank ceased to support. Given the complementary nature of the scheme under the rules of the Collective Labour Agreement for the Portuguese Banking Sector ("ACT"), the Bank continues to cover the difference relative to the amount of the benefits paid under the General Social Security Regime for the eventualities covered and the benefits established in the ACT.

Following the instructions of the National Council of Financial Supervisors (Conselho Nacional dos Supervisores Financeiros), the amount of past service liabilities remained unchanged at 31 December 2010. Current service cost decreased as from 2011 and the Bank became subject to the Single Social Tax (Taxa Social Única - TSU) at the rate of 23.6%.

Disability and survivor pensions and sick leave for these Employees continue to be the Bank's responsibility.

Decree-Law 127 2011 of 31 December established the transfer to the Social Security of liabilities for retirement and survivor pensions of retired personnel and pensioners that were in that situation at 31 December 2011 and were covered by the substitute social security regime included in the collective labour regulations instrument in force for the banking sector (Pillar 1), as well as the transfer to the Portuguese State of the corresponding pension fund assets covering these liabilities. Since the transfer to the Social Security corresponded to a settlement, extinguishing the corresponding liability of Banco BPI, the negative difference (99 507 t.euros) between the amount of the pension fund assets transferred to the Portuguese State and the amount of the liability transferred based on actuarial assumptions used by Banco BPI was fully recognised as a cost in 2011/12. For tax purposes, this cost is recognised over a period of 18 years.

Through its pension fund, Banco BPI retains the liability for payment of (i) the amount of updates to the pensions mentioned above, according to the criteria set out in the ACT; (ii) the complementary benefits to the retirement and survivor pensions assumed by the ACT; (iii) the fixed contribution to the Social and Medical Support Services (SAMS); (iv) death allowance; (v) survivor pensions to children and surviving spouse related to the same Employee and (vi) survivor pension due to the family of a retired Employee, in which the conditions for being granted occurred as from 1 January 2012.

BPI Vida e Pensões is the entity responsible for the actuarial calculations used to determine the amounts of the retirement and survivor pension liabilities, as well as for managing the respective Pension Funds.

The "Projected Unit Credit" method was used to calculate the normal cost and past service liabilities due to old age, and the "Single Successive Premiums" method was used to calculate the cost of the disability and survivor benefits.

The commitments assumed in the regulations of Banco BPI Pension Plans are funded by Pension Funds and therefore Banco BPI is exposed to risks resulting from the valuation of the liabilities and the value of the related pension funds. The Pension Funds of Banco BPI are disclosed in Note 34.

The funding requirements of the Pension Fund are defined in Bank of Portugal Notice no. 4/2005, which establishes the requirement to fully fund (100%) pensions under payment and a minimum of 95% of the past service liability for current personnel.

3 Fully consolidated companies (Banco BPI, BPI Investimentos and BPI Private Equity)

The main actuarial assumptions used to calculate the pension liabilities of Employees are as follows:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Demographic assumptions:
TV 88/90-H TV 88/90-H
Mortality Table TV 88/90-M - 3 years 1 TV 88/90-M - 3 years 1

Pensionable salaries growth rate 2 1.0% 1.0%
Pensions growth rate 0.5% 0.5%

1 Life expectancy considered for women was 3 years longer than considered in the mortality table used.

2 The mandatory promotions under the current ACT and the projected seniority payments are considered separately, i.e., directly in the estimate of salaries evolution, corresponding to an increase of approximately 0.5%.

The past service liabilities for Pensioners and Employees of BPI and respective coverage by the Pension Fund present the following composition:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Total past service liabilities (1 796 280) (1 639 393)
Net assets of the Pension Fund 1 718 500 1 612 353
Contributions to be transferred to the Pension Fund 5 547
Coverage surplus/(shortfall) ( 77 780) ( 21 493)
Coverage ratio of liabilities 96% 99%

The return of the pension fund in the first half of 2019 was 7.9% (non-annualised). The return of the pension fund in the period benefited from the value increase of the portfolio of fixed-rate bonds as a result of the decrease in market interest rates.

The movement in deviations during the first semester of 2019 was as follows:
Amount at 31-12-2018 ( 212 528)
Deviation in pension funds return 111 908

1 Life expectancy considered for women was 3 years longer than considered in the mortality table used.

2 Rate of increase corresponds to Consumer Price Index rate of change, as per the pension plan rules.

The past service liabilities for Board members and respective coverage by the Pension Fund present the following composition:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Total past service liabilities ( 59 265) ( 56 103)

The caption 'Other equity' includes the accrued costs of the share-based variable remuneration program (RVA) relating to shares to be made available.

From 2018 onwards, and with reference to the 2017 variable remuneration program, in accordance with the Remuneration Policies approved for the members of the Board of Directors and members of the Identified Collective, any payments in equity instruments will be made, preferably, in CaixaBank shares.

In 2017 and 2018, considering the process of acquisition of the entire share capital of Banco BPI by CaixaBank and the impossibility of delivering BPI shares, all previous years' programs involving Banco BPI shares and options were concluded.

20. TAX POSITION

Tax assets and liabilities

The breakdown of tax assets and liabilities is as follows:

Tax assets
30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Current tax assets 4 722 3 701
Recoverable VAT 16 013 20 049
Deferred tax assets 311 927 329 013
332 662 352 763
Tax liabilities
30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Current tax liabilities 2 805 2 750
Deferred tax liabilities 70 298 71 052
73 103 73 802

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities correspond to the amount of tax recoverable and payable in future periods resulting from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their tax base. Deferred tax losses carried forward and tax credits are also recognised as deferred tax assets.

In accordance with IAS 12, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the future against which they can be utilised. Accordingly, Banco BPI prepared future taxable income projections to support the deferred tax assets accounted for.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is expected to be realised or the liability settled.

The breakdown of deferred tax assets in 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 is as follows:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Tax losses 20 570 20 372
Application of Art. 4 of the regime set forth in Law 61/2014 5 460 5 170
Taxed provisions and impairments 166 231 179 743
Tax deferral of the impact of the partial transfer of pension liabilities to the Social Security 15 925 16 682
Early retirement 29 277 33 059
Actuarial deviations 66 806 66 837
Other 7 658 7 150
311 927 329 013

At 30 June 2019 the amount of deferred tax assets generated until 2015 that could benefit from the Special regime approved by Law no. 61/2014 of 26 August was 108 728 t.euros.

The breakdown of deferred tax liabilities in 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 is as follows:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Taxable temporary differences in subsidiaries and associated companies (BCI) 8 417 8 045
Financial instruments at fair value 59 878 62 747
Other 2 003 260
70 298 71 052

At 30 June 2019, the caption Financial instruments at fair value included 48 648 t.euros in deferred tax liabilities associated with the unrealised capital gain in BFA.

Profits distributed to Banco BPI by subsidiaries and associated companies are not taxed in Banco BPI as a result of application of the regime established in article 51 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, which provides for the elimination of double taxation of profits distributed.

In this context, Banco BPI does not recognise deferred tax assets or liabilities for deductible or taxable temporary differences relating to investments in associated companies, since the stake held by BPI is higher than 10% and has been held for more than one year, which enables it to be considered in the Participation Exemption regime, except for Banco Comercial e de Investimentos, in which the deferred tax liabilities relating to taxation in Mozambique of all the distributable profits are recognised.

BPI does not recognise deferred tax assets or liabilities for deductible or taxable temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries as it is unlikely that such differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future.

36. INFORMATION ON FAIR VALUE

The fair value of financial instruments is estimated, whenever possible, based on prices in an active market. A market is considered active, and therefore liquid, when it is accessed by equally knowledgeable counterparties and where transactions are carried out on a regular basis. For financial instruments for which there is no active market, due to lack of liquidity or regular transactions, valuation methods and techniques are used to estimate fair value.

36.1. Fair value on financial instruments

Financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value are classified into levels using the hierarchy defined in IFRS 13.

Debt securities and equity instruments

Level 1: This category includes, in addition to financial instruments listed on regulated markets, bonds and participating units in harmonised funds, valued based on prices / quotations in active markets, published in trading platforms, taking into account also the liquidity and quality of the prices.

The classification of fair value in level 1 is made automatically by SIVA ("Asset Valuation Integrated System") whenever the financial instruments are traded in an active market, considering, for this purpose, that this is the case when:

  • (i) financial instruments are priced daily by at least 6 contributors, at least three of them with firm offers, or there is a multi-contributed price (price formed by several firm offers from contributors available in the market) (active market), or;
  • (ii) such financial instruments have been classified as level 1, in accordance with the rule referred to in the preceding paragraph, in at least 50% of the last 30 calendar days.

For financial instruments that do not have a history in the 30 days calendar available in the system, allocation of fair value level will be carried out taking into account the history available in SIVA.

Level 2: Financial instruments that have not been traded on an active market or that are valued by reference to valuation techniques based on market data for financial instruments having the same or similar characteristics in accordance with the rules referred to below are considered as level 2. Level 2 fair value classification is determined automatically by SIVA in accordance with the following rules:

a) Financial instruments are classified daily in Level 2 if they are:

  • (i) Quoted by less than 6 contributors, regardless of the type of price, or;
  • (ii) valued based on models using inputs which are mainly observable in the market (such as interest rate curves or exchange rates), or;
  • (iii) valued based on third party indicative purchase prices, based on observable market data, and
  • (iv) have been classified as level 1 and level 2, in accordance with the rules mentioned above, in at least 50% of the last 30 calendar days.

b) For financial instruments that do not have a history in the 30 days calendar available in the system, allocation of fair value level will be carried out taking into account the history available in SIVA.

Level 3: Financial instruments are classified as Level 3 when they do not meet the criteria to be classified as Level 1 or Level 2, or if their value is the result of inputs not based on observable market data, namely:

a) financial instruments not admitted to trading on a regulated market, which are valued based on valuation models for which there is no generally accepted market consensus as to the inputs to be used, namely:

  • (i) valuation based on Net Asset Value of non-harmonized funds, updated and disclosed by their managing companies;
  • (ii) valuation based on indicative prices disclosed by the entities involved in the issue of certain financial instruments, without an active market; or
  • (iii) valuation based on impairment tests, using indicators of the performance of the underlying operations (degree of protection by subordination of notes held, delinquency rates of the underlying assets, evolution of ratings, among others).

b) financial instruments valued at indicative purchase prices based on theoretical models, disclosed by specialized third parties.

Automatic classification proposed by SIVA relating to the level of fair value is made on the day of measurement, being supervised by a specialized team, in order to ensure that the classification of the fair value level is considered the most appropriate, according to the principles set forth herein.

Derivative financial instruments

Financial derivative transactions in the form of foreign exchange contracts, interest rate contracts, contracts on shares or share indices, inflation contracts or a combination of these, are carried out in over-the-counter (OTC) markets and in organized markets (mainly stock exchanges). For the over-the-counter derivatives (swaps and options) the valuation is based on generally accepted methods, always giving priority to values from the market.

  • Level 1: This category includes futures and options and other derivative financial instruments traded on regulated markets.
  • Level 2: Level 2 includes derivatives, traded on over-the-counter markets, without an optional component.

Valuation of these derivatives is made by discounting the cash flows of the operations, using interest rate market curves deemed appropriate for the currency concerned, prevailing at the time of calculation. The interest rates are obtained from reliable sources of information (e.g. Bloomberg or Reuters). The same interest rate curves are used in the projection of non-deterministic cash flows such as interest calculated from indices. The rates for required specific periods are determined by appropriate interpolation methods.

Level 3: Level 3 includes options and derivatives traded in the over-the-counter market, with embedded optional elements.

The valuation of options is carried out using statistical models that consider the market value of the underlying assets and their volatilities (considering that the latter are not directly observable in the market). The theoretical models used to value derivatives classified in Level 3 are of two types:

  • (i) For simpler options the Black-Scholes model and their derivatives is used (commonly used models by the market in the valuation of this type of operation). The unobservable market inputs (implied volatility of the underlying assets) are collected from Bloomberg.
  • (ii) For exotic options or complex derivatives incorporating optional elements for which there are no valuation models available, the Bank contracts specialized entities that perform the valuation of these operations based on specific models that they develop using criteria and methodologies generally accepted by the sector for these types of instruments. On 31 December 2018, there were no outstanding operations of this type, therefore the Bank did not use valuations prepared by these entities.

In accordance with the policy defined by the Banco BPI as regards the management of exposures in options, significant open positions are not maintained, the risk being managed mainly through "back-to-back" hedges and portfolio hedges. Thus, the impact of possible changes in the inputs used in the valuation of the options, in terms of the Bank's income statement, tends to be negligible.

Valuations thus obtained are, in the case of interbank transactions, valued against those used by the counterparties and whenever there are significant differences, the models or assumptions are reviewed.

The valuation of the non-optional components, not adjusted for credit risk (cash flows from operations), is made based on discounted cash flows, using a methodology similar to that used for derivatives without an optional component. Nevertheless, the derivative instrument is classified (as a whole) in level 3.

Financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet at amortised cost

The fair value of financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet at amortised cost is determined by Banco BPI through valuation techniques.

The valuation techniques used are based on market conditions applicable to similar operations as of the date of the financial statements, such as the value of their discounted cash flows based on interest rates considered as most appropriate, namely:

  • the cash flows relating to Financial assets at amortised cost Loans and advances to Central Banks and Credit Institutions, and Financial liabilities at amortised cost - deposits from Central Banks and Credit institutions, were discounted based on interest rate curves for interbank operations on the date of the financial statements, except for medium and long term resources, the cash-flows of which were discounted based on the interest rate curve used by the Bank for senior issuances;
  • in operations with Customers (Financial assets at amortised cost loans and advances to Customers and Financial liabilities at amortised cost - Customer deposits), the weighted average of the reference rates used by the Bank in the previous month to contract similar operations is considered;

for bonds issued (Financial liabilities at amortised cost - debt securities issued), the Bank considered the reference interest rates and spreads available in the market, considering the residual maturity and degree of subordination of the issuances. For subordinated debt, the Bank used issuance proposals submitted to the Bank by other credit institutions, as the basis for the construction of subordination spread curves, also considering the senior debt curve, the Portuguese public debt curve and the evolution of the spread between the Portuguese and German public debts.

For on demand operations (namely Cash and cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits, and deposits included in Financial liabilities at amortised), fair value corresponds to the respective balance-sheet value.

Note that the fair value presented for these financial instruments may not correspond to their realizable value in a sale or liquidation scenario, as it was not determined for that purpose.

The fair value of the financial assets on the balance sheet, broken down by levels, is as follows:

To determine whether there had been significant changes in the value of the Bank's subsidiaries due to changes in assumptions or valuation parameters, the Dividend Discount Method (DDM) assessment of the Bank's most significant holding, BFA, included making sensitivity analysis of its value to the projected macroeconomic scenario for Angola, objective capital ratio, cost of capital and growth rate in perpetuity. It should be noted that all other methodologies used yielded higher values than obtained through the DDM.

37. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The public deed of the merger by incorporation of Banco Português de Investimento S.A. and BPI Private Equity – Sociedade de Capital de Risco, S.A. into Banco BPI, SA. was signed on 25 July.

The merger had already been publicly announced in October 2018. The merger, and consequent extinction of the two companies, became effective on 31 July 2019, with retroactive effects on the accounts as of 1 January 2019. The aim of these mergers by incorporation and legal extinction of the referred companies is to simplify the structure of BPI.

Law no. 98/2019, amending the provisions of the Corporate Income Tax Code with regard to the possibility of tax deduction of loan impairments, was published on the Diário da República on 4 September. This new regime provides for the possibility of any loan impairments recognised being deducted from the taxable profit of financial institutions, aligning the tax regime with the accounting regime and thus avoiding the generation of new deferred tax assets in this respect. The only exclusions from this alignment of the tax regime with the accounting regime are credits where the debtor is the state, a subsidiary or company holding more than 10% of the financial institution's share capital and members of its corporate bodies. With regard to impairments recognised prior to the adoption of the new regime, the former regime will continue to apply. Also in accordance with the referred regime, during the next five years, starting in 2019, financial institutions will be allowed to choose when to start adopting the new tax regime. The decision to adopt the new regime must be notified to the Tax and Customs Authority up to 30 October of the year in which this choice will apply.

These consolidated financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union, some of which may not conform to or be required by generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.

Review Report on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Free translation from the original in Portuguese)

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Banco BPI, S.A. ("Grupo", "Banco BPI" or "Banco"), which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2019 (which shows total assets of Euros 31.669.064 thousand and total shareholder's equity of Euros 3.161.521 thousand, including a net profit of Euros 134.450 thousand, the condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended, and the accompanying explanatory notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management's responsibility

The Management is responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union, as well as to create and maintain appropriate systems of internal control to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with ISRE 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and other technical and ethical standards and recommendations issued by the Institute of Statutory Auditors. Those standards require that we conduct the review in order to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

A review of financial statements is a limited assurance engagement. The procedures performed mainly consist of making inquiries and applying analytical procedures, and evaluating the evidence obtained.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements.

1. FINANCIAL GROUP

Banco BPI S.A., (Hereinafter referred to as "Banco BPI", "BPI " or "Bank"), with corporate tax identification no. 501 214 534 and registered under the same number in the Commercial registry office of Porto, with registered office at Rua Tenente Valadim, no. 284, in Porto, is an entity focusing its activity on commercial banking in Portugal, and providing financial services and products to Individuals and Corporate and institutional Customers. The Bank serves a Customer base of 1.91 million Customers through a multispecialist, multi-channel and fully integrated distribution network.

BPI started operating in 1981 with the foundation of SPI – Sociedade Portuguesa de Investimentos, S.A.R.L.. By public deed dated December 1984, SPI – Sociedade Portuguesa de Investimentos, S.A.R.L. changed its corporate name to BPI – Banco Português de Investimento, S.A., which was the first private investment bank created after the re-opening, in 1984, of the Portuguese banking sector to private investment. On 30 November 1995 BPI – Banco Português de Investimento, S.A. (BPI Investimentos) was transformed into BPI - SGPS, S.A., which operated exclusively as BPI's holding company. On 20 December, 2002, BPI SGPS, S.A. incorporated, by merger, the net assets and operations of Banco BPI and changed its corporate name to Banco BPI, S.A..

In the context of its public tender offer for the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Banco BPI, on 8 February 2017 (date of the "Regulated Market Special Session" conducted to announce the result of the public tender offer), CaixaBank acquired shares representative of 39.0% of Banco BPI voting rights. Considering CaixaBank previously owned 45.5%, its overall share ownership reached 84.5% of Banco BPI's voting rights. From February 2017, Banco BPI is included in the CaixaBank Group consolidation perimeter, and its financial statements are consolidated in accordance with the full consolidation method. Following the acquisition by CaixaBank of an 8.4% stake held by Allianz in the share capital of the Bank, and other acquisitions on the regulated market, on 29 June 2018 Banco BPI's General Meeting approved the Bank's loss of status of public company under the terms and for the purposes of Article 27-1-b) of the Securities Code. A request for approval of the loss of status of public company was submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (CMVM), and was approved on 14 December 2018. On 18 December 2018 CaixaBank launched a Tender Offer Aimed at Full Control and Compulsory Acquisition of Banco BPI S.A. shares. As of 31 December 2018, CaixaBank holds 100% of the share capital of Banco BPI.

In April 2018, the holdings in BPI Gestão de Activos and BPI Global Investment Management Company (BPI GIF) were sold to the Caixabank Group. The results generated by these entities in 2018 are presented in a single line of the Income Statement under the heading "Profit/(loss) from discontinued operations".

The winding-up process of Banco BPI Cayman, Ltd and BPI Capital Africa (Proprietary) Limited was concluded in 2018 and these two companies were closed down. These companies were fully held by BPI Madeira.

In 31 December 2018, following the loss of Banco BPI's significant influence over Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), the equity holding in BFA was reclassified in the consolidated balance sheet from Investments in joint ventures and associates to Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - equity instruments, and revalued at fair value.

In January 2019, the sale of the legal positions related to share brokerage, research and corporate finance activities to Caixabank was realized by Banco Português de Investimento, SA at the book value of the net assets of those activities at the closing date of the transaction (3.9 million euros).

As of 30 June 2019, Banco BPI on a consolidated basis, was made up of the following companies:

2. BASES OF PRESENTATION AND MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A) Bases of presentation

The condensed interim individual financial statements were prepared based on the accounting records of Banco BPI, in conformity with the International Accounting Standards / International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union and in force on 1 January 2018, in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of 19 July of the European Parliament and of the Council, transposed into Portuguese legislation through Bank of Portugal Notice no. 5/2015 of 30 December.

The individual financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as provided for in IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements.

The individual financial statements as of 31 December 2018 have been approved by the Board of Directors of Banco BPI at April 15 and by the general meeting of shareholders at 29 April 2019

In the preparation of the 2018 individual annual accounts, the consolidation principles, accounting policies and valuation criteria described in Note 2. Bases of Presentation and Main Accounting Policies, in the 2018 Annual Report, were applied with a view to obtaining a true picture of the financial situation of BPI as at 31 December 2018 as well as of its results, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows at that date.

Banco BPI's condensed interim individual financial statements for 30 June 2019 were prepared based on the same principles and accounting policies described in Note 2 to the individual financial statements at 31 December 2018, applying in particular IAS 34 (Interim financial reporting), except those resulting from regulatory changes that came into effect on 01 January 2019, which are detailed in the section Adoption of standards (new or revised) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC), as endorsed by the European Union.

The condensed interim individual financial statements as of 30 June 2019 have been approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Banco BPI at 24 September 2019.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, BPI follows the historical cost convention, modified when applicable for the measurement at fair value of:

  • Financial assets and liabilities held for trading
  • Financial assets not designated for trading compulsorily measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Derivatives

The figures are presented in thousands of euros (t.euros) unless the use of another monetary unit is stated. Certain financial information in these notes was rounded off and, consequently, the figures shown herein as totals may differ slightly from the arithmetic sum of the individual figures given before them.

Adoption of standards (new or revised) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as endorsed by the European Union

At 1 January 2019 the following accounting standards came into force (Note 2. B - Main accounting policies):

Standards and interpretations Name
IFRS 16 Leases
Amendment to IFRS 9 Accounting treatment options for financial assets with negative compensation features
Amendment to IAS 19 Requirement to use updated assumptions for the calculation of remaining responsibilities
Amendment to IAS 28 Long-term investments in associates and joint ventures
Annual improvements to IFRS 2015-2017 Clarifications to: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11
Interpretation to IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments

On 1 January 2019, Banco BPI adopted the following accounting standards:

  • IFRS 16 (new), 'Leases'. This new standard replaces IAS 17 'Leases' with a significant impact on the accounting by lessees who are now required to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a "right-of-use asset" for all lease contracts, except for certain short-term leases and for low-value assets. The definition of a lease contract also changed, being based on the "right to control the use of an identified asset". The application of IFRS 16 may be retrospective or retrospective modified. The impacts from adoption of this standard are described in this note – Comparability of the Information.
  • IFRS 9 (amendment), 'Prepayment features with negative compensation'. The amendment introduces the possibility to classify certain financial assets with negative compensation features at amortised cost, provided that specific conditions are fulfilled, instead of being classified at fair value through profit or loss. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • IAS 19 (amendment), Plan amendment, Curtailment or Settlement'. This amendment requires an entity to: i) use updated assumptions to determine the current service cost and net interest for the remaining period after amendment, reduction or settlement of the plan; and ii) recognise in the income statement as part of the cost of past services, or as a gain or loss in the settlement, any reduction in the excess of coverage, even if the excess of coverage had not been previously recognised, due to the impact of the asset ceiling. The impact on asset ceiling is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, not being allowed to recycle it through profit for the year. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • IAS 28 (amendment), 'Long-term interests in Associates and Joint Ventures'. The amendment clarifies that long-term investments in associates and joint ventures (components of an entity's investments in associates and joint ventures), that are not being measured through the equity method, are to be measured in accordance with IFRS 9 – 'Financial instruments'. The long-term investments in associates and joint ventures are subject to the expected credit loss impairment model, prior to being added, for impairment test purposes, to the whole investment in associates and joint ventures, when impairment indicators exist. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • Improvements to standards 2015 – 2017. The 2015-2017 annual improvements impact: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
  • IFRIC 23 (new), 'Uncertainty over income tax treatment'. This is an interpretation of IAS 12 'Income tax', and refers to the measurement and recognition requirements to be applied when there is uncertainty as to the acceptance of an income tax treatment by the tax authorities. In the event of uncertainty as to the position of the tax authority on a specific transaction, the entity shall make its best estimate and record the income tax assets or liabilities under IAS 12, and not under IAS 37 – 'Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets', based on the expected value or the most probable value. The application of IFRIC 23 may be retrospective or retrospective modified. There has been no material impact on the Bank's financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.

The standards (new and amendments) that will become effective, on or after 1 January 2020, not yet endorsed by the EU, are the following:

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB

Standards and interpretations Name Mandatory application starting
on:
Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a business 1 January 2020
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of material 1 January 2020
Conceptual structure Amendments to references to other IFRS 1 January 2020
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts 1 January 2021
  • IFRS 3 (amendment), 'Definition of a business (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The amendment revises the definition of a business in order to account for business combinations. The new definition requires that an acquisition include an input, as well as a substantial process that jointly generate outputs. Outputs are now defined as goods and services rendered to customers, that generate investment income and other income, and exclude returns as lower costs and other economic benefits for shareholders. Optional 'concentration tests' for the assessment if one transaction is the acquisition of an asset or a business combination, are allowed. This amendment will apply to transactions ocurring after its entry into force.
  • IAS 1 and IAS 8 (amendment), 'Definition of material' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The amendment revises the concept of material. Includes clarifications as to obscured information, its effect being similar to the omission or distortion of information; and also clarifications as to the term 'primary users of general purpose financial statements', defined as 'existing or potential investors, lenders and other creditors' that rely on general purpose financial statements to obtain a significant part of the information that they need. The future adoption of this amendment is not expected to have significant impact on the Bank's financial statements.
  • Conceptual framework, 'Amendments to references in other IFRS' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). These amendments are still subject to endorsement by the European Union. As a result of the publication of the new Conceptual Framework, the IASB introduced changes to the text of various standards and interpretations, like: IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 6, IFRS 14, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 34, IAS 37, IAS 38, IFRIC 12, IFRIC 19, IFRIC 20, IFRIC 22, SIC 32, in order to clarify the application of the new definitions of asset / liability and expense / income, in addition to some of the characteristics of financial information. These amendments are retrospective, except if impractical. The future adoption of this amendments is not expected to have significant impacts on the Bank's financial statements.
  • IFRS 17 (new), 'Insurance contracts' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021). This standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This new standard replaces IFRS 4 and applies to all entities issuing insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation characteristics. IFRS 17 is based on the current measurement of technical liabilities at each reporting date. The current measurement can be based on a complete "building block approach" or "premium allocation approach". The recognition of the technical margin is different depending on whether it is positive or negative. IFRS 17 is of retrospective application. Banco BPI does not have subsidiaries operating in the insurance business and therefore no effects on the Bank's financial statements are expected as a result of adoption of this standard.

Responsibility for the information and for the main estimates made

The preparation of the individual financial statements required to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions in order to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and obligations recognised in them. These judgements, estimates and assumptions relate primarily to:

  • Impairment losses on financial assets and the associated guarantees based on their accounting classification imply the adoption of assumptions relating to: i) the consideration of "significant increase in credit risk" (SICR), ii) definition of default; and iii) the inclusion of forward-looking information (Note 8).
  • Fair value of some financial assets and liabilities (Note 35). The fair value of unlisted financial assets and derivatives was estimated based on valuation methods and financial theories, the results of which depend on the assumptions used.
  • Actuarial assumptions used to measure post-employment liabilities and commitments (Note 18). Retirement and survivor pension liabilities have been estimated based on actuarial tables, assumptions of the increase in pensions and salaries and discount rates. These assumptions are based on Banco BPI's expectations for the period during which the liabilities will be settled.
  • Current and deferred taxes have been recognised based on the tax legislation currently applicable to Banco BPI or on legislation already published for future application (Note 20). Different interpretations of tax legislation can influence the amount of income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recognised based on the assumption of future earnings and taxable income.
  • The measurement of investments in joint ventures and associates and determination of the share of profit/(loss) of these investments (Note 10).
  • The measurement of provisions and contingent liabilities and respective probability of occurring (Note 16).
  • The useful life of tangible assets, including rights-of-use assets and intangible assets (Notes 11 and 12).

Estimates used are based on the best information available at the time of preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements. Subsequent events may require changing the estimates in future periods. In accordance with the applicable legislation and BPI's governance systems, the effects of these changes would be accounted for on a prospective basis in the corresponding income statement, in accordance with IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, change in estimates and errors.

Comparability of the information

The figures for 31 December 2018, as well as for the six-month period ended on 30 June 2018, included in the condensed interim individual financial statements, are presented for comparative purposes only.

IFRS 16 – "Leases"

As stated in this note in the "A) Basis of presentation" section, Banco BPI has applied IFRS 16 – "Leases" from 1 January 2019. In this sense, it has decided not to reassess whether an agreement is a lease or contains a lease component in accordance with the criteria of the standard, applying it solely for agreements that had been identified as leases in accordance with the previous standard.

For leases in which the Bank intervenes as lessee, previously classified as operating leases, BPI applied the new standard retroactively, following the modified retrospective approach, which permits to estimate the value of the right of use by reference to the transaction's financial liability, therefore not requiring any adjustment to reserves as at 1 January 2019. In addition, it was decided to exclude from the scope, in line with the simplifications considered in the new regulatory framework, lease agreements whose term expires within the twelve months following the initial application date.

The main type of agreements identified for which a right-of-use asset and a lease liability had to be estimated at 1 January 2019 were real estate leases in connection with Banco BPI's operating activity (office buildings used by the commercial network and central services).

The balance sheet items at 31 December 2018 relative to lease agreements were not restated and therefore their detail is not directly comparable with the information presented for 30 June 2019.

At 1 January 2019 the coming into force of this standard implied the recognition of a right of use in the amount of 89 million euros and a transfer of costs for rents paid, in the amount of 12 million euros, recognised under other administrative expenses up to 31 December 2018, to costs with depreciation and amortisation of tangible assets, in the period ended on 30 June 2019.

The impact of the adoption of IFRS16 on 1 January 2019, by balance sheet caption, was as follows:

B) Main accounting policies

Except as indicated below, Banco BPI's condensed interim individual financial statements as of 30 June 2019 were prepared using the same principles, accounting policies and criteria used for the 2018 individual annual accounts.

All accounting principles and measurement bases that could have a significant effect were applied in the preparation of the condensed interim individual financial statements.

For all the areas not stated in these condensed interim individual financial statements, the definitions, criteria and policies described in Note 2 of the 2018 individual annual report remain applicable.

2.1. Leases

During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank adopted IFRS 16 "Leases". As a result of this, an assessment has been carried out on the accounting policies in the areas indicated in this note, applicable from 1 January 2019. The main changes in the Bank's accounting policies, deriving from the adoption of IFRS16, are set out below:

1 For agreements that have a leasing component, one or more additional leasing components and others that are not leasing components, the agreement payment will be distributed to each leasing component on the basis of the relative price, regardless of the leasing component, based on aggregate price, and on the basis of the independent aggregate price of the non-leasing components.

which he intends to terminate the agreement. Therefore a term of 5 years was considered for these
agreements, starting on 1 January 2019.

For automatically renewable (annually or half-yearly) property leasing agreements with Banco BPI's Pension
Fund, a term of 5 years1 was assumed, starting on 1 January 2019, taking into account that the pension fund in
an entity related with the Bank, the agreements' automatic and constant renewal, and the fact that there is no
economic incentive for the pension fund to exercise the termination options provided for in said agreements.

2 The Bank calculated these interest rates taking as a reference the cost of debt instruments, adding to the base market curve (swaps vs 6M Euribor) the covered and senior debt spreads for BPI.

The implementation of IFRS16 involved making estimates on the duration of agreements and decisions on the disaggregation of components related to services that were included in the formalised lease agreements.

3. RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1. Overview and risk factors

The following risk factors had a significant influence on BPI's management in the 1st half of 2019, due to their impact during the period and their long-term implications for the Bank:

Macroeconomic environment

  • The global economy maintains a considerable level of uncertainty, the main source of which has been the persistence of trade strains between the U.S. and China and their potential impact on the European Union economy. The meeting at the end of June between Trump and Xi could have been a starting point for the resumption of negotiations, however geopolitical uncertainty is likely to linger over the medium term.
  • In the Eurozone the activity indicators continue to point to moderate economic growth, even if the first quarter GDP growth was higher than expected. On the other hand, the European scenario remains marked by the difficulties in reaching an exit agreement for the United Kingdom (the Brexit), and the risk of a disorderly Brexit has increased.
  • The Portuguese economy stands out from the European feeble economic growth context, posting lower growth rates, but still close to 2%. Nevertheless, high geopolitical uncertainty and the moderate growth of our European partners could constrain the pace of Portuguese exports, and a slower than initially estimated pace of growth should be expected for the second half of the year. This context will likely deepen the goods account deficit, with the vigour of tourism being insufficient to prevent a widening of the external deficit in 2019. Robust growth and funding costs at record lows, together with a budget consolidation policy, should support the path of sustained reduction in the public debt ratio.

Regulatory Framework

The main regulatory developments and public consultations in the area of risk are outlined below:

  • Approval and publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) of the "Proposal of CRDV Package": on 16 April the European Union approved the review, started in November 2016 by the European Commission, of the so-called "banking package", which covers the CRD V, CRR II, BRRD II and SRMR II texts1 . The review basically transposes the standards agreed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (prior to the 2017 agreement on the completion of Basel III, the adoption of which will be addressed from the second half of 2019). The aforementioned legislative package came into force on 27 June 2019, with December 2020 as the deadline for the adoption of the directives, whereas the majority of the changes included in the CRR II regulation are applicable from June 2021.
  • Brexit, Contingency Action Plan: at the beginning of 2019, a set of legislative measures were adopted at national level to prepare for a no-deal Brexit scenario, namely: Law no 27-A/2019 of 28 March, which approves contingency measures to be applied in the event of a no-deal exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and Council of Ministers Resolution no. 48/2019, which identifies preparedness and contingency measures which the Portuguese Government proposes to adopt to minimize the effects of the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union on economic agents, companies, investment and tourism. In addition, the European Banking Association (EBA), the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have agreed on a template for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing the bases for cooperation and information exchange between the EU and UK authorities.
  • Exposures associated with high risks: the EBA published its final guidelines, applicable from 1 July 2019, regarding the types of exposures to be associated with particularly high risk under Article 128 (3) of Regulation (EU) 575/2013 (CRR), which should be assigned a risk weight of 150% under the standardised approach.
  • On 25 February the EBA published the new Guidelines on Outsourcing, which update the previous guidelines on Outsourcing, published in 2006 (CEBS), and incorporate the recommendations of December 2017 on outsourcing to cloud service providers. These guidelines apply as of 30 September 2019, and affect all outsourcing contracts.
  • On 25 May the EBA completed a consultation on its Guidelines on Credit Risk Mitigation techniques for banks that use internal models with own estimates of LGD. The guidelines aim to eliminate existing differences in risk mitigation techniques, deriving from supervisory practices or from choices specific to the entity.

1 The acronyms correspond to Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive (CRR/CRD), Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) and Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (SRMR), respectively.

  • On 6 March the EBA published the final version of its Guidelines for the estimation of LGD appropriate for an economic downturn (Downturn LGD estimation), supplementing the EBA Guidelines on PD and LGD estimation, which will apply from 1 January 2021.
  • On 13 March the consultation period for the EBA Guidelines on ICT and security risk management ended. These guidelines establish the requirements applicable to credit institutions, investment firms and payment services providers in relation to the mitigation and management of their ICT and security risks.
  • Publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of Regulation 2019/630, amending Regulation (EU) 575/2013 (CRR) as regards minimum loss coverage for non-performing exposures (NPLs), or prudential backstop. This regulation establishes the deductions to own funds which must be made if the minimum coverage levels for new loans that become NPLs are not reached. The amended regulation came into force on 26 April 2019.
  • On 18 June, the extension of the mandate of the Technical Expert Group on Sustainable Finance (TEG), which aims to assist the European Commission in the implementation of the Action Plan for sustainable finance, was announced. Simultaneously, within the same framework, the European Commission has published new Guidelines on climate-related disclosures, as part of its Action Plan for Sustainable Finance.
  • On 19 June the EBA launched the consultation process on its draft Guidelines on Loan Origination and Monitoring with the aim of ensuring that the institutions have robust and prudent standards for credit risk taking, management and monitoring. The proposed guidelines ensure alignment with the regulations in force on consumer protection and the prevention of money laundering.
  • Enactment on 6 August 2019 of the Framework Law on Housing, which establishes, inter alia, that "residential mortgage borrowers in a very difficult economic situation may benefit from a legal protection regime that, among others, provides for the possibility of debt restructuring, transfer in lieu of payment, or alternative measures to foreclosure". In this context "the transfer in lieu of payment of the debt, extinguishing the debtor's obligations regardless of the value attributed to the property for this purpose" can only be contemplated if it has been contractually established, the credit institution being responsible for providing this information prior to entering into the contract.
  • Publication in the Diário da República of Law 23/2019, of 13 March 2019, which established full deposit protection against senior unsecured debt instruments in the event of a bank resolution.
  • Finally, on 12 February 12, publication in Diário da República of Law No. 15/2019, which introduces changes to the General Regime of Credit Institutions and Financial Companies, clarifying the powers of the Assembly of the Republic's Parliamentary Committees of Inquiry and establishing the duties of transparency and scrutiny to which capitalisation, resolution, nationalisation or liquidation operations of credit institutions resorting, directly or indirectly, to public funds, will be subject. Article 6 of this Law imposed on Banco de Portugal the obligation to prepare and deliver to the Assembly of the Republic an Extraordinary Report containing a set of "Relevant Information" concerning the "Covered Credit Institutions" in which, in the twelve years prior to the publication of that Law, any of the situations provided for therein have occurred.

3.2. Credit risk

3.2.1. Overview

Credit risk is one of the most significant risks faced in Banco BPI 's operations. Further information about credit risk, namely regarding the management process for the various credit segments, can be found in the Risk Management section of the 2018 Annual Report.

Banco BPI receives, among others, the following collateral within the scope of its loan granting business:

  • Mortgages on own housing;
  • Mortgages on third-party property;
  • Deposit of assets;
  • Pledge of securities;
  • Guarantees provided by other credit institutions.

At 30 June 2019 the maximum exposures to credit risk on the balance sheet, including counterparty risk, was as follows:

1 CCF – Credit Conversion Factor for guarantees given and credit commitments.

2 Does not include cash and cash equivalents in central banks.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is the gross carrying amount, except in the case of derivatives, where it is the exposure value according to the mark-to-market method, which is calculated as the sum of current and potential exposures:

  • Current exposure: the highest value between zero and the market value of an operation or of a portfolio of operations with a counterparty which can be offset in the event of default by the counterparty, assuming that nothing from the value of the operations will be recovered in the event of insolvency or liquidation of the counterparty, except for the collateral received.
  • Potential risk: change in the credit exposure as a result of future changes in the valuation of an operation or in the valuation of operations that can be offset with a counterparty during the residual term to maturity.

Concerning BPI's commercial activity, the Bank gears its lending activity towards meeting the financing needs of families (consumer and residential mortgage loans) and businesses, seeking to maintain a medium-low risk profile, as established in the RAF and the 2019-2021 Strategic Plan.

BPI shares with the CaixaBank Group the principles and policies that support credit risk management, which may be summarised as follows:

  • An adequate relationship between income and the commitments assumed by the consumers.
  • Documentary proof of the information provided by the borrower concerning its solvency.
  • Adequate pre-contractual information about the personal circumstances and characteristics of each Customer and operation.
  • Adequate independent assessment of real estate collateral.

Risk mitigation

Lending is always based on the assessment of the Customer's capacity to generate sufficient funds for the timely service of the debt, and on a risk-adjusted pricing policy. The requirement of personal or real guarantees, as a risk mitigator, is always considered at the time of granting a loan.

In the decision to require guarantees, several factors are weighted, namely the rating assigned to the Customer, and the nature and term of the operations. The term in particular is one of the more sensitive factors due to the uncertainty it entails, which is why medium and long-term transactions usually have associated real guarantees.

The rules on the acceptance of guarantees, control of their formalisation, and monitoring of their value during the transactions lifetime, through regular evaluations and their release are set out in specific internal regulations.

The guarantees foreseen in the internal regulations are those typified in the law, the most usual being personal guarantees (of individuals or companies) by endorsement or security, and in the case of real guarantees, the mortgage, the pledge of assets and the financial pledge. Financial instruments such as derivatives or repos are covered by standard agreements that establish the daily exchange of collaterals, guaranteeing coverage of the counterparty risk.

All guarantees are recorded in a dedicated software application. The funds are only made available to the Customer after or upon verification of the guarantees provided.

The classification by stage of loans to Customers and associated guarantees is as follows:

3.2.2. Concentration Risk

In Banco BPI's Risk Catalogue, concentration risk is conceptually included within credit risk and is calculated according to CaixaBank Group's best practices.

Banco BPI's Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) uses metrics to systematically identify overall exposure to a particular Customer or geographic location, as well as appetite limits to concentration risk.

Concentration in customers or in "large exposures"

As part of the risk-taking process, the Bank monitors compliance with the regulatory limits (25% of own funds) as well as the limits to concentration risk appetite (according to the objectives defined in the RAF). At the close of the first semester of 2019, there was no breach of the defined limits.

Concentration by geographic location

The breakdown of risk of financial assets and guarantees and sureties provided, by geographical location, is as follows:

Concentration by sovereign risk

Banco BPI's exposure to entities with sovereign risk is subject to the general risk-taking policy, which ensures that all positions taken are aligned with the target risk profile. Therefore, metrics and limits of exposure to the Portuguese public sector and to the public sector of all other countries were established in the Risk Appetite Framework. The Bank's exposure to entities with sovereign risk is for the most part concentrated in Portugal, Spain and Italy.

Exposure to entities with sovereign risk

Average VAR 2018 264 58 48 245

In the first semester of 2019, the average and the maximum value of the VaR at 99% with a time horizon of one day (adjusted for root of 10) in BPI's trading activities was 136 t.euros and 225 t.euros, respectively.

Capital requirements for market risk are determined based on the standardised approach. The values calculated are insignificant, given the low representativeness of the portfolio.

3.4. Structural interest rate risk

The management of this market risk by Banco BPI seeks to i) optimise the net interest income and ii) preserve the economic value of the balance sheet, while at all times taking into account the metrics and thresholds of the risk appetite framework in terms of the volatility of the net interest income and the sensitivity of economic value. These objectives are defined in accordance with the policies established at CaixaBank Group level.

The table below shows, using a static gap, the distribution of contractual maturities and interest rate repricings of interest-rate sensitive amounts in the banking book, at 30 June 2019:

The sensitivity of net interest income and economic value are complementary measures that provide an overview of structural interest rate risk, which is more focused on the short and medium term in the first case and on the medium and long term in the second.

The table below shows the sensitivity of the net interest income and the economic value of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities to a 200 basis points interest rate instantaneous increase and decrease:

Amounts as % of baseline scenario +200 bp -200 bp3
Net interest income 1 +29.5% -15.6%
Asset value (banking book)2 +7.8% +2.6%

1 Net interest income sensitivity at 1 year

2 Economic value baseline sensitivity

3 In the case of falling-rate scenarios the applied internal methodology accepts negative interest rates. Given the current level of interest rates, the methodology accepts an interest-rate decline shock of up to approximately -1%. For example, considering a EONIA curve interest rate of -0.40%, the interest rate subject to a shock of -1% in this curve could be as low as -1.40%.

3.5. Exchange rate risk

Banco BPI has foreign currency assets and liabilities in its balance sheet, mainly as a result of its commercial activity, including foreign currency assets and liabilities deriving from the transactions carried out to mitigate exchange rate risk in that activity. The Bank also has some foreign currency structural positions related to equity holdings in financial Institutions outside the Eurozone.

At 30 June 2019, the equivalent euro value of all foreign currency assets and liabilities was as follows:

Cash and cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits 12 643 67 086 21 387

The exchange rate risk in the Bank's regular activity may be hedged through on-balance sheet operations (deposits or foreign currency investments) or through financial derivatives that mitigate the risk of positions in foreign currency. It should be noted that the nominal value of derivatives is not reflected directly in the balance sheet but in off-balance sheet accounts. The approach to foreign-exchange risk management at Banco BPI is to seek to minimise the positions assumed, which explains the Bank's low exposure to this risk.

The relevant foreign exchange positions held by Banco BPI result from the equity holdings in financial institutions of countries outside the Eurozone, notably in Banco de Fomento de Angola (position in Angolan Kwanzas) and Banco Comercial e de Investimentos S.A. (Positions in Mozambique Metical). BFA's fair value estimate factors in a projection of the foreign exchange devaluation of the Kwanza, and in the case of the equity holdings, the impact of foreign exchange changes also depends on the composition of the balance sheet of each of those companies.

Excluding the foreign currency positions in Kwanza and Metical resulting from the equity holdings in BFA and BCI, BPI's exposure and sensitivity to exchange rate risk is not significant, taking into account the existing hedges.

At 31 December 2018, the equivalent euro value of all foreign currency assets and liabilities was as follows:

3.6. Liquidity risk

Banco BPI manages liquidity risk with the objective of maintaining liquidity levels that allow them to respond, in a timely manner, to its payment obligations, without investment activities being affected by lack of funds, while maintaining a balanced balance sheet structure in the long term. Liquidity risk is managed in its various aspects: i) the ability to keep up with assets growth and to meet cash requirements without incurring exceptional losses; ii) the maintenance in the portfolio of tradable assets that constitute a sufficient liquidity buffer; (iii) compliance with the various regulatory requirements in the context of liquidity risk.

The breakdown of BPI's total liquid assets is as follows:

3.7. Other risks

There were no significant changes in the risk levels and in the policies during the first semester of 2019.

4. SOLVENCY MANAGEMENT

4.1. Regulatory framework

The global regulatory framework for supervision and prudential rules on solvency, known as Basel III, came into force in the European Union through Directive 2013/36 (CRD IV) and Regulation 575/2013 (CRR), in which a progressive schedule of implementation is established for the respective requirements.

Furthermore, the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), which configures Pillar II of the Basel regulatory framework, consists of an ongoing supervision process to evaluate the adequacy of capital, liquidity, corporate governance, and risk management and control, harmonised at European level by the EBA. The SREP process may require additional capital or liquidity, or other qualitative measures in response to any risks and weaknesses specifically detected. The SREP seeks to assess the individual viability of entities, considering cross-cutting analyses and comparisons against their peers. Any potential additional capital requirements are complemented by combined capital buffer requirements.

In 2019, Banco BPI is not subject to Pillar 2 minimum requirements on an individual basis.

4.2. Capital management

At 30 June 2019, Banco BPI had a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 12.8%, a Tier 1 ratio of 12.8% and a total ratio of 14.5%, without considering the 2019 interim results in the calculation of these ratios

Considering the inclusion of the interim results and the upper end (payout of 50%) of the range set forth in Banco BPI's Long-Term Dividend Policy2 , as established in Art. 2 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 241/2014, the CET1 ratio would be 13.1%, the Tier 1 ratio would be 13.1% and the total ratio would be 14.8%.

2 The Long-Term Dividend Policy of Banco BPI approved by the single shareholder, CaixaBank, S.A., by Unanimous Written Resolution on 31 January 2019, provides for the distribution of an annual dividend, tendentially between 30% and 50% of the net income reported in the individual accounts for the year to which it relates, where the exact amount to be proposed (by the Board of Directors to the General Meeting) shall be defined in light of a prudent judgement which takes into account, in view of the specific situation at the time of Banco BPI, the permanent satisfaction of adequate levels of liquidity and solvency.

5. DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Dividend policy

In line with the amendment to the articles of association of Banco BPI approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2006, these articles now include the following rule (Article 26- 3): "The General Shareholders' Meeting shall decide on the long-term dividend policy proposed by the Board of Directors, which shall justify any deviations from that policy."

For compliance with this statutory rule, Banco BPI's long-term dividend policy was approved on 31 January 2019, as follows:

1. General Principle

Subject to a proposal to be submitted by the Board of Directors to the General Meeting, distribution of an annual dividend tendentially between 30% and 50% of the net income reported in the individual accounts for the year to which it relates, with the exact amount to be proposed being defined in accordance with a prudent judgement that balances the situation of the Bank at the time with the need to maintain at all times adequate levels of liquidity and solvency.

2. Conditioning factors

The provisions of point 1 above represent a mere principle, which, as such, is not binding upon the General Meeting, which can at any time, not only change it, but also resolve on a percentage of distribution below the minimum 30% threshold or above the maximum 50% threshold therein referred, or on no distribution at all.

The provisions of item 1 are therefore only intended to:

  • i) give the shareholders and third parties a medium/long term perspective of the company's objectives in terms of dividend distribution;
  • ii) impose on the Board of Directors, when it intends to propose a dividend distribution outside the thresholds therein established, the duty of substantiating this option.

In addition, the distribution principle set out in the previous paragraph shall be subject to:

  • a) Compliance with the capital ratios at any time applicable to the Bank, whether under Pillar 1 or Pillar 2, as well as with other applicable legal provisions, namely those governing what is considered the "maximum distributable amount ";
  • b) When the net income determined in the individual accounts includes dividends from companies that have not yet been paid to the Bank, the Board of Directors shall exclude the amount of these dividends from the base used for the definition of the dividends to be distributed, whenever a prudent judgement so advises;
  • c) Respect for the findings and guidelines of the Bank's ICAAP and RAF at any time in force;
  • d) the absence of exceptional circumstances that justify, in the Board of Directors reasoned opinion, submitting to the Shareholders' deliberation the distribution of a dividend below the 30% threshold or above the 50% threshold.

The distribution of 2018 results, made through the payment of dividends in the amount of 140 million euros, was approved by the Board of Directors at 15 April 2019 and subsequently at the Shareholders General Meeting at 29 April 2019.

6. SEGMENTS

The objective of business segment reporting is to allow internal supervision and management of BPI's activity and consolidated income. To define and segregate segments, are taking into account the inherent risks and management characteristics of each segment. The information reporting used by management is essentially prepared on an accounting basis supported by the IFRS. Their preparation relies on i) the same presentation principles used for the Bank's management information, and ii) the same accounting principles and policies used to prepare the annual financial statements:

At 30 June 2019, BPI's segment reporting considers the following segments:

  • Domestic operations: includes the commercial banking business in Portugal and the equity holdings activity.
  • International operations: includes the results generated in Mozambique by Banco Comercial e de Investimentos, S.A.R.L. and the results associated to the equity holding in Banco de Fomento Angola, classified in the portfolio of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Commercial Banking

The General Meeting of 20 April 2018 approved the "Remuneration Policy of Banco BPI applicable to the members of the Board of Directors and of the Supervisory Board" (hereinafter the "Remuneration Policy") for the 2017-2019 period.

In accordance with Banco BPI's Articles of Association, the members of the corporate bodies shall have a fixed remuneration and the members of the Executive Committee may receive, in addition to a fixed remuneration, a variable remuneration determined in accordance with the criteria defined in the remuneration policy for the members of the supervision and management bodies.

Note 8 to Banco BPI's 2018 individual financial statements presents in more detail the remuneration of the corporate bodies, namely of the members of Banco BPI's Board of Directors and Executive Committee.

By unanimous written resolution no. 2 of 29 April 2019, CaixaBank, Banco BPI's single shareholder, on a proposal by the Remuneration Committee, approved an amendment to the limit defined in paragraph b) of point 4.2.2 of the "Remuneration Policy of Banco BPI applicable to the members of the Board of Directors and of the Supervisory Board", to the effect of increasing the global limit of the variable component of the remuneration (under the form of a bonus) of executive directors from 1 400 t.euros to 1 550 t.euros, this new limit applying to the variable component of the remuneration of the executive directors to be attributed and/or paid in 2019 relative to their performance in 2018.

Fixed remuneration

The fixed remuneration and attendance fees received by the members of the Board of Directors, excluding those who are members of the Executive Committee, are shown below:

30-06-2019 30-06-2018
Fixed remuneration 3059 3032
Attendance fees 216 160
3275 3192
Number of persons 10 12

Variable remuneration

The members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors may be entitled to receive a variable remuneration. This variable remuneration is dependent upon the performance during a given year, and its attribution is usually decided and made during the first half of the following year.

Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA)

In January 2017 Banco BPI sold 2% of the share capital of Banco de Fomento Angola to Unitel, reducing its holding in BFA to 48.1%, and entering into an agreement with BFA's shareholders under which BPI was entitled to appoint two, from a maximum of fifteen, members of the Board of Directors of BFA, as well as one member of its Supervisory Board, and one member of the Risk Committee and the Remuneration Committee. BPI's stake in BFA's share capital and participation in BFA's governing bodies, although minoritary and not proportional to the share capital held, permitted to presume the existence of significant influence over BFA, in accordance with the IAS 28 provisions. Therefore, following the sale of 2% of BFA, Banco BPI classified its holding in BFA as an associate.

In December 2018, an assessment of the conditions on which the assumption of significant influence of Banco BPI over BFA in accordance with IAS 28 was based permitted to conclude that no real significant influence existed. From the main issues considered, one of the most important concerned the absence of BPI representatives in the executive body of BFA - the Executive Committee, which is the body responsible for the bank's operational management -, which determined BPI's lack of real power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of BFA under the terms set forth in paragraph 6 of IAS 28. BPI's minority position in BFA's Board of Directors, alongside a shareholder that holds control, also prevented BPI from having a real capacity to exercise significant influence in the management of BFA. In this context, the weight of BPI's participation in BFA's financial and operating policy decisions was much curtailed relative to initial expectations, based on the past experience of shareholders' relationship, where BPI played a key role in the management of BFA.

Taking into account that increase in experience, assessment and knowledge about the shareholder relationship of BPI in BFA, it was considered that at the end of 2018 the circumstances on which the existence of real capacity on the part of BPI to exercise significant influence over BFA was based no longer existed. In view of these circumstances, at the end of 2018, BPI considered it appropriate to limit its presence in the committees and management bodies of BFA in which it was represented, maintaining only the minority presence in the aforementioned corporate bodies of BFA. The analysis and justification for the non-existence of significant influence are provided in Note 2.1 to the 2018 annual financial statements.

In accordance with the accounting standards, the loss of significant influence entailed, in Banco BPI's balance sheet, reclassifying the equity holding in BFA from Associate to Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - Equity instruments, and its revaluation at fair value (521 935 m.euros).

Deferred taxes ( 50 742)
Gain on revaluation at fair value recorded in Gains or losses on derecognition of non-financial assets (Note 30) 507 418
The impact of the revaluation of the equity holding in BFA to Banco BPI's net income, in 2018, is as follows:

In 2019, changes in the fair value of the equity holding in BFA were recognised in other comprehensive (Note 8).

11. TANGIBLE ASSETS

This item of assets includes the properties acquired for own use by the Bank.

On 1 January 2019, with the entry into force of IFRS 16 – "Leases", a right of use in the amount of 89 million euros million euros was recognised (note 2A - Comparability of the information).

During the first half of 2019 no individually significant profits or losses were recorded on sales of real estate.

The investments in tangible assets made during the first half of 2019 totalled 2 803 t.euros.

  • 6 711 t.euros and 26 627 t.euros, respectively, relating to taxes paid but which were challenged by Banco BPI. At the date of the financial statements there was no expected date for a decision in this regard.

Consequently, as of the date of the financial statements, the amount of the asset and liability arising from these processes was derecognised (Note 16);
  • 2 216 t.euros and 2 683 t.euros, respectively, relating to home loans pending settlement.

Contingent liabilities

Competition Authority

In 2012, the Portuguese Competition Authority (CA), under the powers legally attributed to it, opened administrative infraction proceedings against 15 banks operating in the Portuguese market, including BPI, due to alleged competition restrictive practices. On 1 June 2015 Banco BPI was served the corresponding notice of illicit act. On 27 September 2017 the Bank presented its defence. During the process, and whenever appropriate, Banco BPI appealed against several interlocutory rulings issued by the Competition Authority, which the Bank considered as susceptible of violating its rights.

On 9 September 2019, the CA notified BPI and the other banks of its ruling whereby they had been found guilty. The penalty imposed on BPI was 30 million euros.

In its ruling, the CA:

  • a) Accuses BPI, as well as the other banks, of having engaged in exchanges of information during the period from May 2002 to March 2013 concerning (i) mortgage loan and consumer loan production volumes, and (ii) the commercial conditions for these types of loans and for loans to small businesses and SME, including spread tables;
  • b) Considers that such an exchange constitutes an infringement by object, i.e., an infringement which is deemed to have been committed irrespective of whether or not the conduct in question had negative effects on the competition, and therefore it is not necessary to prove such effects; in other words, for the infringement to be deemed as committed, it is sufficient to prove that the conduct is, in the abstract, capable of having adverse effects on competition.

Banco BPI argues that it did not commit the infringement of which it was accused by the CA, and will appeal from the aforementioned decision to the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court, from where the appeal will be filed with the Lisbon Court of Appeal.

In addition to disputing that the exchange of information took place in the manner alleged in the decision imposing the sanction, BPI considers that the information allegedly exchanged, either on account of its form and the time at which such exchange occurred, or on account of its content, was not capable of producing negative effects on the competition, there being no grounds for the assumptions on which the existence of an infringement by object, and therefore the decision imposing the sanction, were based. It is also the understanding of BPI that the alleged exchange of information did not have any negative effects on the market or on consumers, but on the contrary, at least in part, that it had pro-competitive effects.

Based on this framework of non-existent grounds for the decision and sentencing to be maintained by a final court ruling, and supported by the substantiated opinion of external legal consultants, the Executive Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors believes that the probabilities of the process ending without the Bank having to pay a fine are higher than the reverse occurring, and therefore no provision for this process has been recognised in the Bank's financial statements as at 30 June 2019.

18. LIABILITIES FOR PENSIONS AND OTHER BENEFITS

Past service liabilities for Pensioners, Employees and Directors that are, or have been, at the service of BPI, are calculated in accordance with IAS 19.

Benefits established by BPI are defined benefits based on the last salary earned and length of service, providing for the payment of benefits in the event of retirement due to old age or disability, death and end-of-career bonuses. The rules used to calculate these benefits are mainly drawn from the provisions of the Collective Labour Agreement for the Portuguese Banking Sector. There is also a restricted group of management staff that is covered by a supplementary defined benefit pension plan, based on the last salary earned and length of service.

With the publication of Decree-Law no. 1-A / 2011 of 3 January, from 1 January 2011 all banking sector employees who were beneficiaries of "CAFEB – Caixa de Abono de Família dos Empregados Bancários" were integrated into the General Social Security Scheme, being henceforth covered by this scheme for old-age pensions as well as for maternity, paternity and adoption allowances, which the Bank ceased to support. Given the complementary nature of the scheme under the rules of the Collective Labour Agreement for the Portuguese Banking Sector ("ACT"), the Bank continues to cover the difference relative to the amount of the benefits paid under the General Social Security Regime for the eventualities covered and the benefits established in the ACT.

Following the instructions of the National Council of Financial Supervisors (Conselho Nacional dos Supervisores Financeiros), the amount of past service liabilities remained unchanged at 31 December 2010. Current service cost decreased as from 2011 and the Bank became subject to the Single Social Tax (Taxa Social Única - TSU) at the rate of 23.6%.

Disability and survivor pensions and sick leave for these Employees continue to be the Bank's responsibility.

Decree-Law 127 2011 of 31 December established the transfer to the Social Security of liabilities for retirement and survivor pensions of retired personnel and pensioners that were in that situation at 31 December 2011 and were covered by the substitute social security regime included in the collective labour regulations instrument in force for the banking sector (Pillar 1), as well as the transfer to the Portuguese State of the corresponding pension fund assets covering these liabilities. Since the transfer to the Social Security corresponded to a settlement, extinguishing the corresponding liability of Banco BPI, the negative difference (99 177 t.euros) between the amount of the pension fund assets transferred to the Portuguese State and the amount of the liability transferred based on actuarial assumptions used by Banco BPI was fully recognised as a cost in 2011/12. For tax purposes, this cost is recognised over a period of 18 years.

Through its pension fund, Banco BPI retains the liability for payment of (i) the amount of updates to the pensions mentioned above, according to the criteria set out in the ACT; (ii) the complementary benefits to the retirement and survivor pensions assumed by the ACT; (iii) the fixed contribution to the Social and Medical Support Services (SAMS); (iv) death allowance; (v) survivor pensions to children and surviving spouse related to the same Employee and (vi) survivor pension due to the family of a retired Employee, in which the conditions for being granted occurred as from 1 January 2012.

BPI Vida e Pensões is the entity responsible for the actuarial calculations used to determine the amounts of the retirement and survivor pension liabilities, as well as for managing the respective Pension Funds.

The "Projected Unit Credit" method was used to calculate the normal cost and past service liabilities due to old age, and the "Single Successive Premiums" method was used to calculate the cost of the disability and survivor benefits.

The commitments assumed in the regulations of Banco BPI Pension Plans are funded by Pension Funds and therefore Banco BPI is exposed to risks resulting from the valuation of the liabilities and the value of the related pension funds. The Pension Funds of Banco BPI are disclosed in Note 33.

The funding requirements of the Pension Fund are defined in Bank of Portugal Notice no. 4/2005, which establishes the requirement to fully fund (100%) pensions under payment and a minimum of 95% of the past service liability for current personnel.

The main actuarial assumptions used to calculate the pension liabilities of Employees are as follows:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Demographic assumptions:
TV 88/90-H TV 88/90-H
Mortality Table TV 88/90-M - 3 years 1 TV 88/90-M - 3 years 1

End of the period 1.5% 2.0%
Pensionable salaries growth rate 2 1.0% 1.0%
Pensions growth rate 0.5% 0.5%

1 Life expectancy considered for women was 3 years longer than considered in the mortality table used.

2 The mandatory promotions under the current ACT and the projected seniority payments are considered separately, i.e., directly in the estimate of salaries evolution, corresponding to an increase of approximately 0.5%.

The past service liabilities for Pensioners and Employees of BPI and respective coverage by the Pension Fund present the following composition:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Total past service liabilities (1 784 868) (1 629 103)
Net assets of the Pension Fund 1 707 777 1 602 146
Contributions to be transferred to the Pension Fund 5 400
Coverage surplus/(shortfall) ( 77 091) ( 21 557)
Coverage ratio of liabilities 96% 99%

The return of the pension fund in the first half of 2019 was 7.9% (non-annualised). The return of the pension fund in the period benefited from the value increase of the portfolio of fixed-rate bonds as a result of the decrease in market interest rates.

The movement in deviations during the first semester of 2019 was as follows:
Amount at 31-12-2018 ( 207 663)
Deviation in pension funds return 111 438
Changing financial and demographic assumptions
Change in discount rate ( 157 641)
Deviation in pensions paid ( 1 041)
Other deviations ( 9 315)
Amount at 30-06-2019 ( 264 222)

The Members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Banco BPI, S.A. benefit from a supplementary retirement and survivor pension plan, the funding coverage of which is ensured through a pension fund.

The main actuarial assumptions used to calculate the pension liabilities of Board members are as follows:

1 Life expectancy considered for women was 3 years longer than considered in the mortality table used.

2 Rate of increase corresponds to Consumer Price Index rate of change, as per the pension plan rules.

The past service liabilities for Board members and respective coverage by the Pension Fund present the following composition:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Total past service liabilities ( 51 897) ( 49 263)

In the first semester of 2019, the return of the pension fund was 5.8% (not annualized).

The changes in actuarial deviations during the first half of 2019 were as follows:

20. TAX POSITION

Tax assets and liabilities

The breakdown of tax assets and liabilities is as follows:

Tax assets
30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Current tax assets 4 484 3 237
Recoverable VAT 15 984 20 049
Deferred tax assets 309 835 326 963
330 303 350 249
Tax liabilities
30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Current tax liabilities 2 804 2 211
Deferred tax liabilities 55 053 54 165
57 857 56 376

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities correspond to the amount of tax recoverable and payable in future periods resulting from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their tax base. Deferred tax losses carried forward and tax credits are also recognised as deferred tax assets.

In accordance with IAS 12, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the future against which they can be utilised. Accordingly, Banco BPI prepared future taxable income projections to support the deferred tax assets accounted for.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is expected to be realised or the liability settled.

The breakdown of deferred tax assets in 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 is as follows:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Tax losses 19 609 19 609
Application of Art. 4 of the regime set forth in Law 61/2014 5 460 5 170
Taxed provisions and impairments 166 232 179 741
Tax deferral of the impact of the partial transfer of pension liabilities to the Social Security 15 872 16 628
Early retirement 29 211 32 982
Actuarial deviations 66 720 66 837
Other 6 731 5 996
309 835 326 963

At 30 June 2019 the amount of deferred tax assets generated until 2015 that could benefit from the Special regime approved by Law no. 61/2014 of 26 August was 108 728 t.euros.

The breakdown of deferred tax liabilities in 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 is as follows:

30-06-2019 31-12-2018
Financial instruments at fair value 54 801 53 904
Other 252 261
55 053 54 165

At 30 June 2019, the caption Financial instruments at fair value included 48 643 t.euros in deferred tax liabilities associated with the unrealised capital gain in BFA.

Profits distributed to Banco BPI by subsidiaries and associated companies are not taxed in Banco BPI as a result of application of the regime established in article 51 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, which provides for the elimination of double taxation of profits distributed.

In this context, Banco BPI does not recognise deferred tax assets or liabilities for deductible or taxable temporary differences relating to investments in associated companies, since the stake held by BPI is higher than 10% and has been held for more than one year, which enables it to be considered in the Participation Exemption regime, except for Banco Comercial e de Investimentos, in which the deferred tax liabilities relating to taxation in Mozambique of all the distributable profits are recognised.

BPI does not recognise deferred tax assets or liabilities for deductible or taxable temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries as it is unlikely that such differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future.

35. INFORMATION ON FAIR VALUE

The fair value of financial instruments is estimated, whenever possible, on the basis of prices in an active market. A market is considered active, and therefore liquid, when it is accessed by equally knowledgeable counterparties and where transactions are carried out on a regular basis. For financial instruments for which there is no active market, due to lack of liquidity or regular transactions, valuation methods and techniques are used to estimate fair value.

35.1. Fair value on financial instruments

Financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value are classified into levels using the hierarchy defined in IFRS 13.

Debt securities and equity instruments

Level 1: This category includes, in addition to financial instruments listed on regulated markets, bonds and participating units in harmonised funds, valued based on prices / quotations in active markets, published in trading platforms, taking into account also the liquidity and quality of the prices.

The classification of fair value in level 1 is made automatically by SIVA ("Asset Valuation Integrated System") whenever the financial instruments are traded in an active market, considering, for this purpose, that this is the case when:

  • (i) financial instruments are priced daily by at least 6 contributors, at least three of them with firm offers, or there is a multi-contributed price (price formed by several firm offers from contributors available in the market) (active market), or;
  • (ii) such financial instruments have been classified as level 1, in accordance with the rule referred to in the preceding paragraph, in at least 50% of the last 30 calendar days.

For financial instruments that do not have a history in the 30 days calendar available in the system, allocation of fair value level will be carried out taking into account the history available in SIVA.

Level 2: Financial instruments that have not been traded on an active market or that are valued by reference to valuation techniques based on market data for financial instruments having the same or similar characteristics in accordance with the rules referred to below are considered as level 2. Level 2 fair value classification is determined automatically by SIVA in accordance with the following rules:

a) Financial instruments are classified daily in Level 2 if they are:

  • (i) Quoted by less than 6 contributors, regardless of the type of price, or;
  • (ii) valued based on models using inputs which are mainly observable in the market (such as interest rate curves or exchange rates), or;
  • (iii) valued based on third party indicative purchase prices, based on observable market data, and
  • (iv) have been classified as level 1 and level 2, in accordance with the rules mentioned above, in at least 50% of the last 30 calendar days.

b) For financial instruments that do not have a history in the 30 days calendar available in the system, allocation of fair value level will be carried out taking into account the history available in SIVA.

Level 3: Financial instruments are classified as Level 3 when they do not meet the criteria to be classified as Level 1 or Level 2, or if their value is the result of inputs not based on observable market data, namely:

a) financial instruments not admitted to trading on a regulated market, which are valued based on valuation models for which there is no generally accepted market consensus as to the inputs to be used, namely:

  • (i) valuation based on Net Asset Value of non-harmonized funds, updated and disclosed by their managing companies;
  • (ii) valuation based on indicative prices disclosed by the entities involved in the issue of certain financial instruments, without an active market; or
  • (iii) valuation based on impairment tests, using indicators of the performance of the underlying operations (degree of protection by subordination of notes held, delinquency rates of the underlying assets, evolution of ratings, among others).
  • b) financial instruments valued at indicative purchase prices based on theoretical models, disclosed by specialized third parties.

Automatic classification proposed by SIVA relating to the level of fair value is made on the day of measurement, being supervised by a specialized team, in order to ensure that the classification of the fair value level is considered the most appropriate, according to the principles set forth herein.

Derivative financial instruments

Financial derivative transactions in the form of foreign exchange contracts, interest rate contracts, contracts on shares or share indices, inflation contracts or a combination of these, are carried out in over-the-counter (OTC) markets and in organized markets (mainly stock exchanges). For the over-the-counter derivatives (swaps and options) the valuation is based on generally accepted methods, always giving priority to values from the market.

  • Level 1: This category includes futures and options and other derivative financial instruments traded on regulated markets.
  • Level 2: Level 2 includes derivatives, traded on over-the-counter markets, without an optional component.

Valuation of these derivatives is made by discounting the cash flows of the operations, using interest rate market curves deemed appropriate for the currency concerned, prevailing at the time of calculation. The interest rates are obtained from reliable sources of information (e.g. Bloomberg or Reuters). The same interest rate curves are used in the projection of non-deterministic cash flows such as interest calculated from indices. The rates for required specific periods are determined by appropriate interpolation methods.

Level 3: Level 3 includes options and derivatives traded in the over-the-counter market, with embedded optional elements.

The valuation of options is carried out using statistical models that consider the market value of the underlying assets and their volatilities (considering that the latter are not directly observable in the market). The theoretical models used to value derivatives classified in Level 3 are of two types:

  • (i) For simpler options the Black-Scholes model and their derivatives is used (commonly used models by the market in the valuation of this type of operation). The unobservable market inputs (implied volatility of the underlying assets) are collected from Bloomberg.
  • (ii) For exotic options or complex derivatives incorporating optional elements for which there are no valuation models available, the Bank contracts specialized entities that perform the valuation of these operations based on specific models that they develop using criteria and methodologies generally accepted by the sector for these types of instruments. On 31 December 2018, there were no outstanding operations of this type, therefore the Bank did not use valuations prepared by these entities.

In accordance with the policy defined by the Banco BPI as regards the management of exposures in options, significant open positions are not maintained, the risk being managed mainly through "back-to-back" hedges and portfolio hedges. Thus, the impact of possible changes in the inputs used in the valuation of the options, in terms of the Bank's income statement, tends to be negligible.

Valuations thus obtained are, in the case of interbank transactions, valued against those used by the counterparties and whenever there are significant differences, the models or assumptions are reviewed.

The valuation of the non-optional components, not adjusted for credit risk (cash flows from operations), is made based on discounted cash flows, using a methodology similar to that used for derivatives without an optional component. Nevertheless, the derivative instrument is classified (as a whole) in level 3.

Financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet at amortised cost

The fair value of financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet at amortised cost is determined by Banco BPI through valuation techniques.

The valuation techniques used are based on market conditions applicable to similar operations as of the date of the financial statements, such as the value of their discounted cash flows based on interest rates considered as most appropriate, namely:

  • the cash flows relating to Financial assets at amortised cost Loans and advances to Central Banks and Credit Institutions, and Financial liabilities at amortised cost - deposits from Central Banks and Credit institutions, were discounted based on interest rate curves for interbank operations on the date of the financial statements, except for medium and long term resources, the cash-flows of which were discounted based on the interest rate curve used by the Bank for senior issuances;
  • in operations with Customers (Financial assets at amortised cost loans and advances to Customers and Financial liabilities at amortised cost - Customer deposits), the weighted average of the reference rates used by the Bank in the previous month to contract similar operations is considered;
  • for bonds issued (Financial liabilities at amortised cost debt securities issued), the Bank considered the reference interest rates and spreads available in the market, considering the residual maturity and degree of subordination of the issuances. For subordinated debt, the Bank used issuance proposals submitted to the Bank by other credit institutions, as the basis for the construction of subordination spread curves, also considering the senior debt curve, the Portuguese public debt curve and the evolution of the spread between the Portuguese and German public debts.

For on demand operations (namely Cash and cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits, and deposits included in Financial liabilities at amortised), fair value corresponds to the respective balance-sheet value.

Note that the fair value presented for these financial instruments may not correspond to their realizable value in a sale or liquidation scenario, as it was not determined for that purpose.

To determine whether there had been significant changes in the value of the Bank's subsidiaries due to changes in assumptions or valuation parameters, the Dividend Discount Method (DDM) assessment of the Bank's most significant holding, BFA, included making sensitivity analysis of its value to the projected macroeconomic scenario for Angola, objective capital ratio, cost of capital and growth rate in perpetuity. It should be noted that all other methodologies used yielded higher values than obtained through the DDM.

36. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The public deed of the merger by incorporation of Banco Português de Investimento S.A. and BPI Private Equity – Sociedade de Capital de Risco, S.A. into Banco BPI, SA. was signed on 25 July.

The merger had already been publicly announced in October 2018. The merger, and consequent extinction of the two companies, became effective on 31 July 2019, with retroactive effects on the accounts as of 1 January 2019. The aim of these mergers by incorporation and legal extinction of the referred companies is to simplify the structure of BPI.

Law no. 98/2019, amending the provisions of the Corporate Income Tax Code with regard to the possibility of tax deduction of loan impairments, was published on the Diário da República on 4 September. This new regime provides for the possibility of any loan impairments recognised being deducted from the taxable profit of financial institutions, aligning the tax regime with the accounting regime and thus avoiding the generation of new deferred tax assets in this respect. The only exclusions from this alignment of the tax regime with the accounting regime are credits where the debtor is the state, a subsidiary or company holding more than 10% of the financial institution's share capital and members of its corporate bodies. With regard to impairments recognised prior to the adoption of the new regime, the former regime will continue to apply. Also in accordance with the referred regime, during the next five years, starting in 2019, financial institutions will be allowed to choose when to start adopting the new tax regime. The decision to adopt the new regime must be notified to the Tax and Customs Authority up to 30 October of the year in which this choice will apply.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying condensed financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with ISRE 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and other technical and ethical standards and recommendations issued by the Institute of Statutory Auditors.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on these financial statements.
