(3) Considering net income before non-controlling interests.
(4) Excludes the impact of specific items: gains from the sale of the shareholdings associated with non-life insurance business (Euro 69.4 million in 2014) and restructuring costs and other (Euro 5.8 million in 2015).

(6) Includes the impact of the new DTAs regime for capital purposes according with IAS.
Considering the commitment agreed with the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Comp) regarding the Bank's Restructuring Plan, in particular the implementation of a new approach to the asset management business, and in accordance with IFRS 5, the activity of Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos was classified as discontinued operations during 2013.
From this date onwards, the impact on results of these operations were presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as "income arising from discontinued operations" with no change at balance sheet level from the criteria as that of the financial statements as at 31 December 2014. However, following the sale of the total shareholding in Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos, in May 2015, its assets and liabilities are no longer considered from this date onwards.
The net income of Millennium bcp amounted to Euro 235.3 million in 2015, showing a favourable evolution compared to a net loss of Euro 226.6 million recorded in 2014, reflecting the pursuit of the objectives set out in the Strategic Plan, supported by the recovery of profitability in Portugal and the development of the international activity.
Net income in 2015 was determined by the lower level of impairment losses and provisions charges, together with the positive performance of net interest income and net trading income, in spite of the fourth quarter of 2015, which was penalised by the booking of extraordinary contributions in the amount of Euro 28.3 million in Bank Millennium in Poland related with the bankruptcy of a bank and the contribution for the Mortgage Loans Restructuring Fund, and Euro 31.4 million associated with the Single Resolution Fund in the activity in Portugal.
In the activity in Portugal, net income reached Euro 44.2 million, an improvement of Euro 431.5 million from the amount posted in 2014, supported by the lower level of impairment losses and provisions charges and the 14.3% increase of banking income that benefited from net interest income performance.
Net income in the international activity, excluding the impacts of discontinued operations and the increase of non-controlling interests related with the sale of 15.4% of the shareholding of the subsidiary Bank Millennium in Poland in the first quarter of 2015, decreased 3.7% compared with 2014, influenced by the contribution of the subsidiary in Poland that was conditioned by the above-referred extraordinary impacts.
Net interest income stood at Euro 1,301.6 million in 2015, an increase of 16.6% over the Euro 1,116.2 million registered in 2014, mainly boosted by the positive performance of the activity in Portugal.
Net interest income in Portugal amounted to Euro 711.3 million in 2015, compared to Euro 527.0 million in 2014, driven by the sustained reduction of term deposits costs, materialised in a 73 basis points decrease in 2015, together with a lower cost related to CoCos, induced by the early repayment made during 2014 in the amount of Euro 2,250 million.
In the international activity, net interest income, excluding exchange rate impact, increased by 1.2% in 2015, totalling Euro 595.9 million, on the back of the improvement of loans to customers and deposits volume registered in the operations in Angola and Mozambique.
Net interest margin in 2015 stood at 1.91%, compared with 1.56% in 2014. Excluding the cost of CoCos impact, net interest margin reached 2.01% in 2015 and 1.81% in 2014.

Note: Interest related to hedge derivatives were allocated, in December 2015 and 2014, to the respective balance sheet item. (1) Includes the activity of the subsidiaries in Romania (in 2014) and of Millennium bcp Gestão de Ativos, as well as the respective consolidation adjustments.
Net commissions amounted to Euro 692.9 million in 2015, a 1.8% year-on-year increase, boosted by the activity in Portugal that increased 3.5%.
The performance of net commissions in 2015 reflects the 3.2% increase in commissions related to the banking business, induced by higher credit and guarantees-related commissions, both in Portugal and in the international activity, as well as the favourable effect associated with the decreased cost of the guarantee by the Portuguese State to debt securities issued, in spite of the decrease in cards and transfers-related commissions, penalised by the reduction of interchange fees in Poland. The commissions associated with financial markets decreased 4.0%, influenced by the lower level of securities transactions.
Net trading income reached Euro 595.4 million in 2015, from the Euro 442.2 million registered in 2014, driven by the gains related with Portuguese sovereign debt securities in Portugal and the higher foreign exchange results in Angola and Mozambique.
Other net operating income was negative by Euro 121.8 million in 2015, compared to Euro 11.4 million accounted in 2014, influenced by the booking of a Euro 69.4 million gain, in 2014, related to the disposal of the shareholding in subsidiaries that operated in the area of non-life insurance.
The activity in Portugal includes the costs related to the contributions for the banking sector, for the Deposit Guarantee Fund and for the Single Resolution Fund, for which a Euro 31.4 million contribution was made in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The international activity reflects the booking of the extraordinary contribution for the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Euro 24.6 million due to the bankruptcy of a Polish bank and Euro 3.7 million for the Mortgage Restructuring Fund in Poland.
Dividends from equity instruments, which comprises dividends received from investments in financial assets available for sale, and equity accounted earnings, jointly amounted to Euro 35.5 million in 2015, compared with Euro 41.8 million posted in 2014.
Operating costs, excluding the effect of specific items mainly related with restructuring costs, decreased 4.3% compared with the Euro 1,149.6 million registered in 2014, standing at Euro 1,100.7 million, reflecting the guidelines set out by the Strategic Plan, with a focus on cost savings in Portugal, supported by rationalisation and cost containment.
In the activity in Portugal, excluding specific items, operating costs totalled Euro 636.2 million in 2015, a 7.8% year-on-year decrease, on the back of the 9.7% savings in staff costs, induced by the reduction of the number of employees and the temporary salary reduction measures carried out in 2014.
In the international activity, operating costs increased 1.1% from the amount posted in 2014, determined by the operations in Angola and Mozambique.
Staff costs, excluding the impact of the above-mentioned specific items, amounted to Euro 610.3 million in 2015, a 4.0% reduction from 2014, materialising a 9.7% decrease in the activity in Portugal that benefited from the reduction of number of employees by 336 from the end of 2014 and the aforementioned temporary salary reduction measures, in spite of the 6.4% increase in the international activity.
Other administrative costs decreased 5.5%, from Euro 448.5 million in 2014 to euro 423.8 million in 2015, as a result of the operational improvement initiatives implemented, reflected in the resizing of the distribution network in Portugal, which decreased from 695 branches at the end of 2014 to 671 in 2015. In the international activity, other administrative costs fell 6.2% from the end of 2014, standing at Euro 189.1 million, determined by the operation in Poland.
Depreciation costs amounted to Euro 66.6 million in 2015, an increase of 1.6% from 2014, mainly influenced by the 9.7% increase registered in the international activity, determined by the subsidiary in Angola, despite the 6.5% decrease recorded in the activity in Portugal, induced by lower real estate related depreciation costs.

Cost of risk improved from 194 basis points in 2014 to 150 basis points in 2015 and credit at risk ratio stood at 11.3% of total loans as at 31 December 2015 from 12.0% in 2014.
Other impairment and provisions amounted to Euro 161.3 million in 2015, compared with Euro 209.3 million posted in 2014, reflecting lower guarantees and other commitments and other financial assets-related provisions, in spite of higher impairment charges for repossessed assets.

Total assets reached Euro 74,885 million as at 31 December 2015, compared with Euro 76,361 million as at 31 December 2014, reflecting loans to customers' portfolio retraction in Portugal, partially offset by the increase in the securities portfolio, mainly related with the treasury bonds portfolio.
Loans to customers (gross) amounted to Euro 55,438 million as at 31 December 2015, from the Euro 57,168 million posted in the end of 2014, induced by the decrease in the activity in Portugal, in spite of the increase recorded in the international activity.
Loans to customers in Portugal decreased 5.0% compared to 31 December 2014, as a result of the performance of loans to individuals, determined by the repayments associated with mortgage loans, and loans to companies, hindered by the gradual recovery of the Portuguese economy, in spite of the continued commitment to provide solutions to meet individuals' and companies' financing needs.
In the international activity, loans to customers increased 3.4% from 31 December 2014, supported by the increases both in loans to companies and to individuals, in particular in Poland.

In the activity in Portugal, total customer funds amounted to Euro 47,965 million as at 31 December 2015, from Euro 47,881 million posted in 2014, reflecting the continued commercial effort on funding acquisition, materialised in the increases of 4.8% of assets under management and 1.2% of customer deposits, notwithstanding the 16.2% decrease of debt securities owed to customers.

(1) Excludes, in December 2014, the impact from discontinued operations (Millennium bcp Gestão de Activos) in the amount of Euro 1,468 million.
The securities portfolio totalled Euro 12,463 million as at 31 December 2015, compared with Euro 12,285 million posted at the end of 2014, representing 16.6% of total assets as at 31 December 2015, in line with the amount registered as at 31 December 2014, essentially related with the treasury bonds portfolio.
During 2015 the wholesale funding needs decreased Euro 2.4 billion, mainly as a result of the decreases in the commercial gap in Portugal and the portfolio of Portuguese sovereign debt, and the sale of 15.4% of the shareholding in Bank Millennium (Poland).
Throughout the year the Bank carried out the amortization of medium and long term debt amounting to Euro 0.6 billion, related with the early redemption of senior debt and maturity of bank loans, and to the underwriting of new bank loans amounting to Euro 0,3 billion.
Accordingly, there was a change in the wholesale funding structure of the Bank in 2015, with decreases of Euro 0.9 billion in repos with financial institutions, of Euro 0.3 billion in senior debt and of Euro 1.3 billion in the balance of borrowings with the European Central Bank (ECB), among other less expressive changes.
As of 31 December 2015, the balance of the net funding with the ECB reached Euro 5.3 billion, a decrease of Euro 1.3 billion when compared with the amount registered in the same period of 2014.
The decrease of the net funding with the ECB, along with the reduction of Euro 0,2 billion of the portfolio of available eligible assets, allowed an increase of Euro 1.1 billion of the safety buffer, which totalled Euro 8.6 billion at the end of December 2015.
The composition of the balance funded through the Eurosystem was throughout 2015 impacted by the early redemption of a Euro 0.5 billion tranche prior to the maturity of the remaining balance of Euro 3.5 billion, from an original total of Euro 12.0 billion borrowing granted in 2012 by the ECB through its long term refinancing operations.
On 26 June 2013, the European Parliament and Council approved Directive 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 (Capital Requirements Directive IV / Capital Requirements Regulation - CRD IV/CRR) that established new and more demanding capital requirements for credit institutions, with effects from 1 January 2014.
These stricter requirements result from more narrowly defined capital and risk weighted assets, together with the establishment of minimum ratios, including a capital conservation buffer, of 7% for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), 8.5% for Tier 1 and 10.5% for Total Capital. The CRD IV/CRR also stipulates a transitional period (phased-in) in which institutions may accommodate the new requirements, both in terms of own funds and compliance with minimum capital ratios.
According to our interpretation of CRD IV/CRR to date, CET1 phased-in estimated ratio reached 13.3% as at 31 December 2015, improving from 13.2% as at the end of the previous quarter, based on the amount of deferred tax assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements and its new prudential framework.
CETs' performance in the fourth quarter was driven by the decrease of risk-weighted assets, mainly supported on the lower level of market risk, which was partially offset by the decrease of CET1, with special emphasis on the actuarial losses and the negative contribution of the net income, despite the improvement recorded by the shortfall of impairment to expected loss and minority interests.
On 8 October 2015, Millennium bcp signed a memorandum of understanding to merge Banco Millennium Angola, S.A. with Banco Privado Atlântico, S.A., resulting in the second-largest private sector Angolan bank in terms of loans to the economy, with a market share of approximately 10% by business volume. The valuation of the stakes of the two merged banks will be subject to due diligence by an independent auditor and Millennium bcp is expected to hold a stake of around 20% in the merged entity. The completion of this transaction, estimated with reference to December 2015, would raise CET1 ratio, on a phased-in basis, up to 13.7%.

Millennium bcp designed a 3-year plan for its domestic operation aimed to prepare the Bank to a changing Customer profile, to a new competitive landscape in Portuguese banking and to regulatory changes affecting the financial system. During the last quarter of 2015 Millennium bcp continued committed to digital innovation: new mobile banking features were made available, a new website for smart phones and tablets was launched, and there were also innovating features in the branch network, through the introduction of digital price lists and electronic billboards, and the design of a new branch format.
Highlights during this period include:
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the growth of the World's economic was slower in 2015 than in the previous year due to the loss of vigor of emerging markets, since economic activity in developed economies as a whole should have improved. In the US, the sustained growth of employment and of the real disposable income allowed for robust consumption growth and the recovery of residential investment. However, the recession that hit the energy sector and the dollar appreciation exerted an adverse effect on investment and exports, a situation that might have led to a GDP growth rate in 2015 similar to that observed 2014, which was 2.4%. In the euro area, the phasing out of the austerity cycle in the peripheral countries, the improvement of monetary conditions stemming from the more expansionary stance of the European Central Bank (ECB), the effective depreciation of the euro and the decrease in energy costs boosted the economy, which has been translated into a GDP acceleration, from 0.9% in 2014 to a projected value of 1.6% in 2015, according to the European Commission (EC). In Japan, the strong contribution of net exports must have been enough to compensate for the consumption retraction and the private investment stall, allowing for the return of the Japanese economy to positive growth rates in 2015, after the GDP stagnation in 2014. The Chinese economy continued to display clear signals of loss of strength in the course of 2015, especially on the demand components that were the cornerstone of the Chinese growth model: exports and investment.
In the financial markets, the dominant feature was the volatility resulting from the uncertainty surrounding the implications for the world economy of the emerging markets' loss of vigor and of the beginning of the reversal of the US Federal Reserve's expansionary policy. Generically, the geographies where monetary policies were more accommodative, such as EMU and Japan, recorded stronger financial assets appreciation than the economies whose monetary conditions became more restrictive, as happened in the US, and with greater intensity, in emerging markets.
The lack of inflationary pressures and the moderate progress of the World's economy allowed for the maintenance of an ample degree of monetary accommodation globally. With the exception of the Fed, which began the process of interest rate normalization in December, by increasing its key rate target for the first time since 2006, the majority of the main central banks maintained or intensified the expansionary stance of their monetary policies. The ECB set the rate on the deposit facility to negative values (-0.30%) and implemented a public debt securities purchase program, which will last at least until March 2017. As a consequence of these measures, the euribor interest rates for maturities up to 6 months ended 2015 in negative territory.
According to the EC estimates, the Portuguese GDP grew by 1.7% in 2015, above the 0.9% recorded in 2014. The greater strength of economic activity stemmed essentially from the dynamism of private consumption and exports, since investment proceeded at a slower pace than that of the previous year. In 2016, the recovery trend should remain supported by domestic demand, which is bound to benefit from the rise of employment and disposable income, the low cost of energy and banking credit. Nevertheless, the risk of slowdown of the global economy associated with emerging markets' fragility as well as the possibility of a significant correction in financial markets constitute potential threats to the extension of the recovery of the national economy.
According to the IMF, the Polish GDP is expected to have grown 3.5% in 2015, making this country one of the most dynamic economies in the European Union. The main contributions for the progress in activity arose from private consumption and investment. The inflation rate remained negative for most of the year, mirroring external deflationary pressures in a context of relative stability of the zloty against the euro, a set of circumstances that favored a more accommodative monetary policy by the National Bank of Poland.
In Angola, the fall of oil prices during the course of 2015 significantly reduced fiscal revenues and foreign exchange earnings from the energy sector exports, a development that has hampered private consumption and public investment, leading to a reduction of the GDP growth rate, which according to the IMF went from 4.8% in 2014 to 3.5% in 2015. In this context, the Kwanza devalued considerably and the inflation rate approached 10%, thereby imposing the need for a more restrictive monetary policy. In Mozambique, the fall of commodity prices, in particular of gas, coal and aluminium, provoked a fall in export revenues and a slower pace of foreign direct investment, generating exchange rate instability, which led the government to request an emergency loan from the IMF in November and to adopt a more restrictive monetary and fiscal policy. Notwithstanding, the economy of Mozambique should have maintained robust growth levels, according to IMF estimates.
