RESULTS AND ACTIVITY IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2018

On January 1, 2018, IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments entered into force, replacing IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement, and establishing new rules for the recognition of financial instruments, introducing relevant changes, particularly as regards the methodology for impairment calculation. The adoption of this accounting standard had an impact on the structure of the Millennium bcp financial statements compared to 31 December 2017, largely dictated by the adjustments associated with the transition, and did not materially affect the profit and loss account for the first six months of 2018. Considering the recognition of loans to customers at fair value through profit or loss, some indicators were defined based on management criteria intended to facilitate their respective comparability with prior period information.

In this context, with reference to 30 June 2018, loans to customers includes loans to customers at amortised cost before impairment and loans to customers at fair value through profit or loss before fair value adjustments, while the amount of the impairment considered for the purposes of coverage ratios includes the balance sheet impairment associated with loans to customers at amortised cost and the fair value adjustments associated to loans to customers at fair value through profit or loss.

RESULTS

The net income of Millennium bcp rose to Euro 150.6 million, in the first half of 2018, a 67.5% increase from the Euro 89.9 million reached in the same period of the previous year, mainly driven by the performance of the activity in Portugal, but also by the greater contribution of the international activity compared to the first six months of 2017.

In the activity in Portugal, net income was significantly higher than the Euro 1.6 million registered in the first half of 2017, reaching Euro 59.0 million in the first six months of 2018, highlighting the expressive reduction of impairments and provisions.

In the international activity, net income totalled Euro 89.9 million in the first half of 2018 and compares favourably to the Euro 87.1 million obtained in the same period of previous year, benefitting from the positive performance of the operations in Poland and Mozambique, despite the lower contribution of Banco Millennium Atlântico, influenced by the negative impact arising from the application of IAS 29.

Net interest income amounted to Euro 687.7 million in the first six months of 2018 (Euro 678.5 million in the same period of the previous year), supported by the good performance of the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, net interest income stood at Euro 384.8 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to Euro 390.2 million registered in the first half of the previous year. This performance was conditioned by the reduction in the interest from loans and debt securities portfolios, despite the lower cost of funding, associated with the maintenance of the decreasing trend in costs for term deposits and to repayment of the remaining tranche of CoCo bonds in the first quarter of 2017.

In the international activity, net interest income showed a 5.1% increase from the Euro 288.3 million registered in the first six months of 2017, achieving Euro 302.9 million in the same period of 2018, essentially due to the performance of the subsidiary in Poland.

Net interest margin in the first half of 2018 stood at 2.18%, in line with the amount presented in the same period of the previous year. Net interest margin in the first half of 2017, excluding the impact from the cost of CoCos, reached 2.20%.

Note: Interest related to hedge derivatives were allocated, in June 2018 and 2017, to the respective balance sheet item.

Net commissions reached Euro 340.2 million in the first six months of 2018, showing a 3.0% increase from the Euro 330.3 million achieved in the first six months of 2017, determined by the favourable performance of the activity in Portugal, where net commissions rose 3.9%, but also induced by the contribution of the international activity which registered a 1.1% growth compared to the first half of 2017, driven by the Polish operation.

The evolution of net commissions in the first six months of 2018 reflects the performance of both banking and market commissions which improved 2.5% and 5.3% respectively, from the figures obtained in the same period of the previous year, boosted by the activity in Portugal and, in what refers to market commissions, also by the international activity.

Net trading income stood at Euro 77.0 million in the first six months of 2018, compared to Euro 89.9 million obtained in the same period of the previous year, reflecting the performance of the activity in Portugal.

Other net operating income, which includes the costs associated with mandatory contributions as well as with the Resolution Fund and the Deposit Guarantee Fund in both Portugal and international activity, was negative by Euro 90.1 million in the first half of 2018 (negative by Euro 86.6 million accounted in the same period of the previous year).

In the activity in Portugal, other net operating income was negative by Euro 58.7 million in the first half of 2018 compared to the also negative Euro 52.9 million registered in the same period of the previous year, mainly reflecting the increase of costs related to mandatory contributions.

In the international activity, other net operating income stood negative by Euro 31.4 million in the first six months of 2018, improving from the also negative Euro 33.7 million accounted in the same period of previous year. This evolution reflects the favourable performance of the subsidiary in Mozambique, mitigated by the performance of the Polish subsidiary, which was conditioned by the increase of mandatory contributions compared to the first half of 2017 and due to recognized gains related to real estate disposal and indemnity received in the first half of 2017.

Dividends from equity instruments, which comprise dividends received from investments classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and from financial assets held for trading, together with equity accounted earnings, were up 14.4% from the amount booked in the first half of 2017 and totalled Euro 42.0 million in the first six months of 2018.

Operating costs, excluding the effect of specific items*, stood at Euro 492.8 million in the first half of 2018 compared to Euro 473.9 million in the first six months of 2017, reflecting the increase in both the activity in Portugal and the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, operating costs, not considering the impact of specific items, amounted to Euro 305.2 million in the first six months of 2018, showing a 3.5% increase from the amount registered in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the growth of staff costs, conditioned by the salary replacement occurred from July 2017 and, to a lesser extent, to the higher level of depreciation costs, partially offset by other administrative costs savings.

In the international activity, operating costs stood at Euro 187.6 million in the first half of 2018, reflecting an increase of 4.8% from the amount accounted in the same period of 2017, mainly originated by the subsidiary in Poland.

Staff costs, excluding the impact of specific items, totalled Euro 281.8 million in the first six months of 2018 increasing 6.3% from the amount of the same period of previous year, induced by the higher level of costs in both the activity in Portugal and the international activity.

In the activity in Portugal, despite the decrease of 152 employees from 30 June 2017, staff costs excluding the impact of specific items registered an increase of 6.2% from the amount of the first half of 2017, to stand at Euro 179.4 million in the same period of 2018, reflecting the decision of the Board of Directors of the Bank to end, in advance, with effect from 30 June 2017, the temporary adjustment that had been in force since July 2014, following the full reimbursement of CoCos.

* Specific items related to restructuring costs and the revision of Collective Lab. Agt's in the activity in Portugal (negative impact of Euro 8.0 million in the first half of 2018 and positive impact of Euro 23.7 million in the first half of 2017, both in staff costs).

In the international activity, staff costs stood at Euro 102.4 million in the first six months of 2018, increasing 6.3% from Euro 96.4 million in the same period of the previous year, due to the operation in Poland.

Other administrative costs were in line with the amount accounted in the first six months of 2017, totalling Euro 182.7 million in the same period of 2018, benefiting from lower costs in the activity in Portugal, mainly due to cost containment measures, namely the resizing of the distribution network, from 596 branches at the end of June 2017 to 573 at the end of June 2018. This trend was offset by the growth of other administrative costs in the international activity compared to the amounts of the first half of 2017, determined by the higher level of costs at the subsidiary in Poland.

Depreciation costs totalled Euro 28.4 million in the first half of 2018, registering an increase of 8.5% from Euro 26.1 million accounted in the first six months of the previous year, mainly concentrated in the activity in Portugal, namely related to software and IT equipment, but also to a lesser extent in the international activity, highlighting the evolution of depreciation costs recognized by the subsidiary in Mozambique.

Impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) showed a 27.6% decrease from the Euro 305.0 million accounted in the first six months of 2017, totalling Euro 220.8 million in the same period of 2018, mainly due to the positive performance of the activity in Portugal but also to the international activity, which benefited from the favourable performance of all subsidiaries, highlighting the contribution of the operations in Poland and Mozambique.

The Group's cost of risk showed a favourable change, from 118 basis points in the first half of 2017 to 88 basis points in the same period of 2018.

Other impairment and provisions stood at Euro 59.0 million in the first half of 2018, showing a significant decrease from Euro 110.3 million accounted in the same period of previous year, reflecting essentially the lower level of other financial and non-financial assets of the Group.

Income tax (current and deferred) amounted to Euro 71.9 million in the first half of 2018, which compares to Euro 43.4 million obtained in the same period of 2017, including, in the first half of 2018, current tax costs of Euro 49.9 million (cost of Euro 54.5 million in the first half of 2017), and deferred tax costs of Euro 22.0 million (income of Euro 11.1 million in the first six months of 2017).

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets stood at Euro 73,100 million as at 30 June 2018, comparing to Euro 73,024 million as at 30 June 2017, highlighting the growth of the securities portfolio and deposits at Central Banks partially offset by the reduction of the loans to customers portfolio.

Loans to customers (gross) amounted to Euro 50,468 million as at 30 June 2018, comparing to Euro 51,684 million presented in the same date of the previous year, due to the performance of the activity in Portugal.

In the activity in Portugal, loans to customers registered a 3.5% decrease from the Euro 38,709 million recorded as at 30 June 2017, to stand at Euro 37,350 million as at 30 June 2018. It is worth noting that this performance was determined by the strong pace of reduction of NPEs (Euro -1.9 million from 30 June 2017), to Euro 5.9 billion as at 30 June 2018 despite the favourable trend of performing loans in the first six months of 2018.

In this context, it is worth noting the increase in new consumer and mortgage loans from the first half of 2017, reflecting the significant development of digital channels in this period.

In the international activity, loans to customers amounted to Euro 13,118 million as at 30 June 2018, which compares with Euro 12,975 million in the same date of the previous year, with the increase in the subsidiary in Poland being partially compensated by the decrease in Mozambique.

The structure of the loans to customers' portfolio showed identical and stable levels of diversification between the end of June 2017 and 2018, with loans to companies representing 46% of total loans to customers as at 30 June 2018.

Credit quality showed a favourable performance, as evidenced by the improvement in the respective indicators, with a generalized increase of coverage for impairment. In this context, it is particularly important to mention the reinforcement of the coverage of NPEs for impairments, which stood at 49.9% on 30 June 2018, compared to 41.3% on 30 June 2017. In Portugal, the same ratio increased from 40.5% on June 30 of the previous year to 47.5% on the same date of 2018.

(1) Loans to customers (gross) is presented considering the management criteria of the Group. As at 30 June 2018, includes loans to customers at amortised cost before impairment and loans to customers at fair value through profit or loss before fair value adjustments.

(2) The amount of impairment considered for the purposes of coverage ratios presented underlies the management criteria adopted by the Group. As at 30 June 2018 includes the balance sheet impairment of loans to customers at amortised cost and the fair value adjustments associated to loans to customers at fair value through profit or loss.

Total customer funds(*) showed a 5.9% increase from Euro 68,390 million registered as at 30 June 2017, reaching Euro 72,458 million as at 30 June 2018, mainly originated in the activity in Portugal, benefiting also from the positive performance of the international activity. The growth of customer funds reflects both the 4.7% increase registered in balance sheet customer funds compared to 30 June 2017, boosted by the growth in resources from customers (5.6% in the same period), and the favourable performance of off-balance sheet customer funds which went up 10.0% from 30 June 2017.

In the activity in Portugal, total customers funds increased 7.5% comparing to Euro 49,369 million accounted at 30 June 2017, reaching Euro 53,049 million as at 30 June 2018, highlighting the Euro 2,643 million growth in resources from customers and the 10,8% increase of off-balance sheet customer funds from 30 June 2017.

Total customer funds in the international activity rose to Euro 19,409 million as at 30 June 2018, an increase of 2.0% from to Euro 19,021 million as at 30 June 2017, reflecting primarily the growth in assets placed with customers and in resources from customers in the subsidiary in Poland.

As at 30 June 2018, balance sheet customer funds represented 75% of total customer funds, with resources from customers representing 74% of total customer funds.

According to the Bank of Portugal's Instruction no. 16/2004, the loans to deposits ratio improved from 95% as at 30 June 2017 to 88% as at 30 June 2018. The same ratio, considering on-balance sheet customers' funds, stood at 86% (92% as at 30 June 2017).

(*) As at 30 June 2018, the concepts underlying the determination of off-balance sheet customer funds were adjusted to reflect the new legal and regulatory framework imposed by the Financial Instruments Markets Directive (DMIF II), as well as changes implemented regarding the perimeter considered and the criteria adopted, namely with regard to the inclusion of amounts held by customers in the context of the placement of third-party products that contribute to the recognition of commissions ("assets placed with customers"). The information with reference to the end of the first half of 2017 is presented according to the new criteria, on a comparable basis.

The securities portfolio stood at Euro 15,329 million as at 30 June 2018, compared to Euro 13,967 million posted at the same date of the previous year, representing 21.0% of total assets as at 30 June 2018, above the 19.1% observed as at 30 June 2017. This evolution reflects essentially the performance of the activity in Portugal and also, in a lesser extent, the international activity, highlighting the operation in Mozambique.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

In the first half of 2018, the consolidated wholesale funding decreased Euro 0.4 billion, mainly attributable to the increase in the portfolio of Portuguese public debt (Euro 2.2 billion, according to the Liquidity plan for 2018) and the reduction in the commercial gap in Portugal (Euro 2.2 billion), as well as the decrease of the market funding needs of Bank Millennium (Euro 0.3 billion), among other changes with lower level of materiality.

Still on a consolidated basis, the decrease in liquidity needs was achieved mainly by the decrease in the funding through repurchase agreement (REPO) of Euro 0.3 billion, for a total balance of Euro 0.5 billion. The funding with the ECB remained unchanged at Euro 4.0 billion, corresponding to the balance of the targeted long term refinancing operations, or TLTRO.

The net funding with the ECB stood at Euro 3.1 billion, reflecting a Euro 0.1 billion decrease compared with the previous quarter, and below the average balance maintained during 2017 with the Eurosystem.

The liquidity buffer with the ECB grew to Euro 12.5 billion, Euro 2.8 billion more than in December 2017. Taking into account other assets that are highly liquid or easily converted into eligible collateral with the ECB in the short term, the buffer would amount to Euro 14.1 billion (Euro 11.1 billion at the end of 2017).

CAPITAL

The estimated CET1 ratio as at 30 June 2018 on a phased-in and on a fully-implemented basis stood at 11.7%, -125 basis points and +32 basis points, respectively, comparing to the 13.0% and 11.3% ratios recorded in the same period of 2017 and above the minimum ratios defined in the SREP(1) for 2018 (CET1 8.81%, T1 10.31% and Total 12.31%).

The favourable evolution of CET1 on a fully-implemented basis was mainly determined by net income and by the higher level of fair value reserves, partially mitigated by the IFRS9 adoption impact, by the deduction of irrevocable payment commitments for the Resolution Fund and the Deposits Guarantee Fund and by the increase of the Risk Weighted Assets. The fully implemented total capital ratio additionally benefited from subordinated bond placements in Poland and Portugal.

MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts that in 2018 the growth of the world economy should remain robust and exhibit a high synchronization among the main world economies, notwithstanding the prevalence of serious risks, which range from a protectionist escalation to an aggravation of the global monetary conditions.

After an expansion of 2.4% in 2017, the euro area's GDP should see a slight slowdown in 2018, with the European Commission forecasting a growth of 2.3%, built on balanced contributions from the major components of the aggregate demand. The fact that economic activity has unequivocally maintained a growth level above its potential, a trend that is seen extending to 2019, should justify a further normalization of monetary policy by the European Central Bank (ECB), albeit at a gradual pace given the absence of inflationary pressures. In this context, the ECB announced its intention to terminate the asset purchase programme at the end of 2018, but has pledged not to alter the levels of interest rates until the summer of 2019.

In the US, the set of fiscal stimuli implemented by President Donald Trump is generating a very significant momentum on economic activity. The reduction of corporate taxes is incentivising investment, job creation and the rise in wages, which together with lower taxes on household income is having a positive effect on the expansion of private consumption. Such developments led the Federal Reserve to maintain its policy of increasing the key interest rate, having raised it from 1.75% to 2.00%, and to intensify the pace of reduction of the amount of debt securities accumulated onto its balance sheet during the quantitative easing (QE) programmes.

The evolution of the international financial markets during the first half of 2018 was characterized by the return of volatility, in a climate in which the optimism implicit in the valuation of the main asset classes was affected by the resurgence of protectionism and by the increase of long term interest rates. The combination of these circumstances turned out to be particularly adverse for the emerging markets, where currencies registered substantial levels of depreciation, especially against the US dollar. The government arrangement reached in Italy, by reigniting fears of EMU fragmentation turned out to be another important source of instability for the international financial markets, with negative impacts on the value of the euro against the US dollar and the Yen. The euro money market interest rates remained stable, in negative territory for all the maturities.

After growing 2.7% in 2017, in the first quarter of 2018, the yearly rate of change of Portuguese GDP stood at 2.1%, representing a slight slowdown of the economic activity in comparison to the previous quarter (2.4%), which was due to the deceleration of exports, since the domestic demand remained robust, supported by the increased pace of private consumption and investment. In this context of on-going dynamism, the unemployment rate decreased from 8.1% to 7.9% in the first quarter, the lowest level since 2008. For the coming quarters Portuguese GDP is expected to maintain a growth rate slightly above 2.0%, according to the forecasts of the major international institutions. On the financial markets front, the political uncertainty in Italy led to an increase in the yields of the Portuguese public debt and the deterioration of the spread against their better rated European counterparts.

In Poland, the economic activity continues to show signs of vigour. In the first quarter of 2018, GDP grew 5.0% in annual terms, corresponding to an acceleration compared to the growth of the preceding quarter (4.4%), which benefitted from the expansion of consumption and the recovery of investment as the contribution of the net external demand was negative. The favourable evolution of economic activity, alongside an inflation rate compatible with the Central Bank's target has allowed monetary policy to remain unchanged. Notwithstanding the good performance of the Polish economy, the Zloty depreciated, penalized by the increase in volatility in international financial markets.

In Mozambique, economic growth has remained moderate, supported by the widespread expansion of the main economic sectors, and the inflation rate has kept stable. This macroeconomic climate has reflected positively on the exchange rate of the Metical, which has appreciated vis-a-vis the major international currencies. In Angola, the trajectory of depreciation of the Kwanza has intensified in the second quarter in the wake of the ongoing transition to a more flexible foreign exchange regime.
