1 February 2016 Banco Comercial Português informs about Bank Millennium (Poland) results in 2015

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. hereby informs that Bank Millennium in Poland, in which it has a 50.1% holding and whose accounts are fully consolidated in BCP group level, released today its results for the full year 2015, whose highlights are as follows:

Consolidated net profit in 2015 amounted to PLN 546.5 million (€ 130.7 million). Excluding 4Q extraordinary events, the yearly net profit would have reached 667.4 PLN million (€ 159.6 million), which would mean 2.5% growth y/y versus the 651 million (€ 155.7 million) net profit booked in 2014. ROE without one-offs reached 11.1%, while reported ROE reached 9.1%.

The fourth quarter net result of PLN 53.0 million (€ 12.7 million) was negatively affected by four extraordinary elements:

  • PLN 102.5 million (€ 24.5 million) extra charge to Banking Guarantee Fund (BFG) for the bankrupt SK Bank,
  • PLN 15.6 million (€ 3.7 million) contribution to the newly created Distressed Mortgage Support Fund (FWK),
  • PLN 12.2 million (€ 2.9 million) penalty from Authority for Competition and Customer Protection (UOKiK) connected with interchange fees.
  • PLN 10 million (€ 2.4 million) of net provisions for tax and other

The above mentioned one-off charges plus a challenging environment for the banking sector in Poland in 2015 year, including lower interest rates and regulatory interventions on some fees, resulted in a decrease of operating income reported by the Group. However, at the same time Bank Millennium managed to partially offset this with the growth of other revenue streams and reduction of operating costs and impairment charges.

BANCO COMERCIAL PORTUGUÊS, S.A., a public company (sociedade aberta) having its registered office at Praça D. João I, 28, Oporto, registered at the Commercial Registry of Oporto, with the single commercial and tax identification number 501 525 882

and the share capital of EUR 4,094,235,361.88
