Exhibit 99.1

 

 

 
 

  

Report on review of consolidated interim financial statements

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheet of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries (Consolidated) as at March 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our review.

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" and ISRE 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the consolidated interim financial statements

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2015, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, in accordance with IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting", issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Other matters

 

Supplementary information - statement of value added

 

We also have reviewed the consolidated statement of value added for the three-month ended March 31, 2015, which is the responsibility of the Company's management. The presentation of this statement is required by the Brazilian corporate legislation for listed companies, but it is considered

 

supplementary information for IFRS. This statement was subject to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that, in all material respects, in accordance to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 2 – Significant accounting policies

 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

 

2.1.Basis of Preparation

 

These consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING were prepared taking into consideration that the National Monetary Council (CMN) Resolution No. 3,786 established that as of December 31, 2010, annual consolidated financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).

 

These consolidated financial statements have been presented following the accounting practices described in this note.

 

These interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting using the option to present complete consolidated financial statements instead of condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopted the criteria for recognition, measurement and disclosure established in the IFRS and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) described in this note. For this reason, these Consolidated Financial Statements are in full compliance with the standards issued by the IASB and the interpretations issued by the IFRIC.

 

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows shows the changes in cash and cash equivalents during the period from operating, investing, and financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid financial investments (Note 2.4c).

 

Cash flows from operating activities are presented under the indirect method. Consolidated net income is adjusted for non-monetary items, such as measurement gains and losses, changes in provisions and in receivables and liabilities balances. All income and expense arising from non-monetary transactions, attributable to investing and financing activities, are eliminated. Interest received or paid are classified as operating cash flows.

 

2.2.New accounting standards and new accounting standards changes and interpretations

 

a)Accounting standards applicable for period ended March 31, 2015

 

·IAS 19 (R1) – Employee Benefits – the entity should take into account the contributions by employees and third parties in the recording of defined benefit plans. There are no impacts from this change, since ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has already considered these procedures.

 

b)Accounting standards recently issued and applicable in future periods

 

The following pronouncements will become applicable for periods after the date of these consolidated financial statements and were not early adopted:

 

·IFRS 9 – “Financial instruments” – the standard aimed at replacing IAS 39 - “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement”. IFRS 9 includes: (a) a logical classification and measurement model; (b) a single impairment model for financial instruments, which offers a response to expected losses; (c) the removal of volatility in income arising from own credit risk; and (d) a new hedge accounting approach. Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. Any possible impacts arising from adopting these changes are being assessed and will be completed up to the date this standard comes into force.

 

·IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers – requires that revenue is recognized so as to reflect the transfer of goods or services to the client for an amount that expresses the company’s expectation of having rights to these goods or services by way of consideration. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18, IAS 11, and related interpretations (IFRICS 13, 15 and 18). It is effective for years beginning after January 1, 2017 and its early adoption is allowed by IASB. Any possible impacts arising from adopting these changes are being assessed and will be completed up to the date this standard comes into force.

 

·Amendment to IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements – This amendment establishes criteria for the accounting of an acquisition of an interest in joint ventures and joint operations, when the operation constitutes a business, in accordance with the methodology established in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted by IASB. The impact of this amendment will be due only in case of acquisition of joint control.

Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted by IASB. Any possible impacts arising from adopting these changes are being assessed and will be completed up to the date this standard comes into force.

 

·IASB Annual Improvement Cycle (2012-2014) – Annually IASB makes minor amendments to a series of pronouncements to clarify the standards and avoid double interpretation. In this cycle IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments:Disclosures, IAS 19 – Employee Benefits, and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting were reviewed.Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted by IASB. Any possible impacts arising from adopting these changes are being assessed and will be completed up to the date this standard comes into force.

 

·Amendment to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements; This amendment is aimed at encouraging companies to identify which information is sufficiently material to be disclosed in the financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 28, IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016, with earlier application permitted by IASB.

 

2.3.Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, gains, and losses over the reporting and subsequent periods, because actual results may differ from those determined in accordance with such estimates and assumptions.

 

2.3.1Critical accounting estimates

 

All estimates and assumptions made by Management are in accordance with IFRS and represent the current best estimates made in compliance with the applicable standards. Estimates are evaluated continuously, considering past experience and other factors.

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a variety of estimates and assumptions. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions that have the most significant impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are described below:

 

a)Allowance for loan and lease losses

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING periodically reviews its portfolio of loans and receivables to evaluate the existence of impairment.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201513
 

  

In order to determine the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income with respect to certain receivables or group of receivables, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING exercises its judgment to determine whether objective evidence indicates that an event of loss has occurred. This evidence may include observable data that indicates that an adverse change has occurred in relation to the expected cash inflows from the counterparty or the existence of a change in local or international economic conditions that correlates with impairment. Management uses estimates based on the history of loss experience in loan operations with similar characteristics and with similar objective evidence of impairment. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are regularly reviewed by Management, considering the adequacy of models and sufficiency of provision volumes in view of the experience of incurred loss.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses statistical models to calculate the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses in the homogeneous loan portfolio. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING periodically carries out procedures to improve these estimates by aligning the required provisions to the levels of losses observed by the historical behavior (as described in Note 2.4g VIII). This alignment aims at ensuring that the volume of allowances reflects the current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolios, the quality of guarantees obtained and the profile of our clients. In 2015 and in 2014, there were no such improvements of model assumptions.

 

The allowance amounted to R$ 24,064 (R$ 22,392 at December 31, 2014).

 

The details on methodology and assumptions used by the Management are disclosed in Note 2.4g VIII.

 

b)Deferred income tax and social contribution

 

As explained in item 2.4n, deferred tax assets are recognized only in relation to temporary differences and loss carry forwards to the extent that it is probable that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING will generate future taxable profit for their utilization. The expected realization of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING´s deferred tax asset is based on the projection of future income and other technical studies, as disclosed in Note 27. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets was R$ 42,634 (R$ 36,619 as of December 31, 2014).

 

c)Fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives

 

The fair value of financial instruments is measured on a recurring basis, in conformity with the requirements of IAS 39 – “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement. Financial instruments recorded at fair value are assets amounting to R$ 246,847 (R$ 226,193 at December 31, 2014) of which R$ 24,634 are derivatives (R$ 14,156 at December 31, 2014) and liabilities in the amount of R$ 31,290 (R$ 17,870 at December 31, 2014) of which R$ 30,931 are derivatives (R$ 17,350 at December 31, 2014). The fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives that are not traded in active markets, is calculated by using valuation techniques. This calculation is based on assumptions that take into consideration ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING Management´s judgment about market information and conditions existing at the balance sheet date.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING ranks the fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs adopted in the measurement process. There are three broad levels related to the fair value hierarchy, detailed in Note 31.

 

The team in charge of the pricing of assets, in accordance with the governance defined by the committee and regulatory circulars, carries out critical analyses of the information extracted from the market and from time to time reassesses the long-term of indexes. At the end of the monthly closings, the areas meet for a new round of analyses for the maintenance of the classification in connection with the fair value hierarchy. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING believes that all methodologies adopted are appropriate and consistent with market participants. Regardless of this fact, the adoption of other methodologies or use of different assumptions to estimate fair values may result in different fair value estimates.

 

The methodologies used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments are described in Note 31.

d)Defined benefit pension plan

 

At March 31, 2015, an amount of R$ (93) (R$ (104) at December 31, 2014) was recognized as an asset related to pension plans. The current amount of the pension plan obligations is obtained from actuarial calculations that use a variety of assumptions. Among the assumptions used for estimating the net cost (income) of these plans is the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will affect the carrying amount of pension plan assets and liabilities.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year, which is used for determining the present value of estimated future cash outflows necessary for settling the pension plan liabilities. In order to determine the appropriate discount rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING considers the interest rates of the Brazilian federal government bonds that are denominated in Brazilian Reais, the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have maturity terms approximating the terms of the related liabilities.

 

Should the discount rate currently used be lowered by 0.5% than Management’s estimates, then the actuarial amount of the pension plan obligations would be increased by approximately R$ 668, with impact on the amount recognized with effect on Stockholder’s Equity – Other Comprehensive Income before taxes – of R$ 315, net of the effects of Asset Ceiling.

 

Other important assumptions for pension plan obligations are in part based on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 29.

 

e)Provisions, contingencies and other commitments

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING periodically reviews its contingencies. These contingencies are evaluated based on Management´s best estimates, taking into account the opinion of legal counsel when there is a likelihood that financial resources will be required to settle the obligations and the amounts may be reasonably estimated.

 

Contingencies classified as probable losses are recognized in the Balance Sheet under Provisions.

 

Contingent amounts are measured using appropriate models and criteria, despite the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate timing and amounts, as detailed in Note 32.

 

The carrying amount of these contingencies was R$ 17,524 (R$ 17,027 at December 31, 2014).

 

f)Technical provisions for insurance and pension plan

 

Technical provisions are liabilities arising from obligations of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING to its policyholders and participants. These obligations may be short-term liabilities (property and casualty insurance) or medium and long-term liabilities (life insurance and pension plans).

 

The determination of the actuarial liability is subject to several uncertainties inherent in the coverage of insurance and pension contracts, such as assumptions of persistence, mortality, disability, life expectancy, morbidity, expenses, frequency and severity of claims, conversion of benefits into annuities, redemptions and return on assets.

 

The estimates for these assumptions are based on the historical experience of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, benchmarks and experience of the actuary, in order to comply with best market practices and the continuous review of the actuarial liability. The adjustments resulting from these continuous improvements, when necessary, are recognized in the statement of income for the corresponding period.

 

Additional information is described in Note 30.

 

2.3.2 Critical judgments in accounting policies

 

a)Goodwill

 

The impairment test for goodwill involves estimates and significant judgments, including the identification of cash generation units and the allocation of goodwill to such units based on the expectations of which ones will benefit from the acquisition. Determining the expected cash flows and a risk-adjusted interest rate for each unit requires that management exercises judgment and estimates. Annually submitted to the impairment test and, at March 31, 2015 and 2014, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING did not identify goodwill impairment losses.

2.4. Summary of main accounting practices

 

a)Consolidation

 

I.Subsidiaries

 

Before January 1, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING consolidated its subsidiaries in accordance with IAS 27 – “Consolidated and separate financial statements”, and its specific purpose entities, defined in accordance with the SIC 12 – “Consolidation – special purpose entities”, in its Consolidated Financial Statements. As of January 1, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopted IFRS 10 – “Consolidated financial statements”, which replaced IAS 27 and SIC 12.

 

In accordance with IFRS 10, subsidiaries are all entities in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING holds control. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING controls an entity when it is exposed to, or is entitled to, its variable returns derived from its involvement with such entity, and has the capacity to impact such returns.

 

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated as from the date in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING obtains its control and are no longer consolidated as from the date such control is lost.

 

On January 1, 2013 ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING assessed its investments to determine whether the conclusions regarding the consolidation in accordance with IFRS 10 differ from those conclusions reached in accordance with IAS 27 and SIC 12.

 

No adjustment is required for those investments already consolidated in accordance with IAS 27 and SIC 12 and which remain consolidated in accordance with IFRS 10 on January 1, 2013 or for those investments not consolidated in accordance with IAS 27 and SIC 12 and which continue not being consolidated in accordance with IFRS 10.

II.Business combinations

 

Accounting for business combinations under IFRS 3 (R) is only applicable when a business is acquired. Under IFRS 3 (R), a business is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets that is conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to investors, or cost reduction or other economic benefits. In general, a business consists of inputs, processes applied to those inputs and outputs that are, or will be, used to generate income. If there is goodwill in a set of activities or transferred assets, this is presumed to be a business. For acquisitions that meet the definition of business, accounting under the purchase method is required.

 

The acquisition cost is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the exchange date, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Acquired assets and assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the date of acquisition, regardless of the existence of non-controlling interests. The excess of the acquisition cost, plus non-controlling interests, if any, over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, is accounted for as goodwill.

 

The treatment of goodwill is described in Note 2.4k. If the cost of acquisition, plus non-controlling interests, if any, is lower than the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is directly recognized in income.

 

For each business combination, the purchaser should measure any non-controlling interest in the acquired company at the fair value or amount proportional to its interest in net assets of the acquired company.

 

III.Transactions with non-controlling stockholders

 

IFRS 10 – “Consolidated financial statements” establishes that, changes in an ownership interest in a subsidiary, which do not result in a loss of control, are accounted for as capital transactions and any difference between the amount paid and the carrying amount of non-controlling stockholders is recognized directly in consolidated stockholders' equity.

 

b)Foreign currency translation

 

I.Functional and presentation currency

 

The consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are presented in reais, which is its functional and presentation currency. For each subsidiary and investment in associates and joint ventures, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING defined the functional currency, as set forth in IAS 21.

 

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the Brazilian real are translated as follows:

 

·assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.
·income and expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates.
·exchange differences arising from currency translation are recorded in other comprehensive income.

 

II.Foreign currency transactions

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as part of foreign exchange results and exchange variations on transactions and amount to R$ 7,969 for the period for the period January 1 to March 31, 2015 (R$ 3,677 for the period January 1 to December 31, 2014).

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201518
 

 

In the case of monetary assets classified as available-for-sale, the exchange differences resulting from a change in the amortized cost of the instrument are recognized in the income statement, while those resulting from other changes in the carrying amount, except impairment losses, are recognized in other comprehensive income until derecognition or impairment.

 

c)Cash and cash equivalents

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING defines cash and cash equivalents as cash and current accounts in banks (included in the heading cash and deposits on demand on the consolidated balance sheet), interbank deposits and securities purchased under agreements to resell that have original maturities of up to 90 days or less, as shown in Note 4.

 

d)Central Bank Compulsory deposits

 

The Central Banks of the countries in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING operates currently impose a number of compulsory deposit requirements on financial institutions. Such requirements are applied to a wide range of banking activities and operations, such as demand, savings, and time deposits. In the case of Brazil, the acquisition and deposit of Brazilian federal government securities is also required.

 

Compulsory deposits are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method as detailed in Note 2.4g VI.

 

e)Interbank deposits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes its interbank deposits in the balance sheet initially at fair value and subsequently at the amortized cost using the effective interest method as detailed in Note 2.4g VI.

 

f)Securities purchased under agreements to resell and sold under repurchase agreements

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has purchased securities with resale agreement (resale agreements), and sold securities with repurchase agreement (repurchase agreement) of financial assets. Resale and repurchase agreements are accounted for under Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under repurchase agreements, respectively.

 

The amounts invested in resale agreement transactions and borrowed in repurchase agreement transactions are initially recognized in the balance sheet at the amount advanced or raised, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The difference between the sale and repurchase prices is treated as interest and recognized over the life of the agreements using the effective interest rate method. Interest earned in resale agreement transactions and incurred in repurchase agreement transactions is recognized in Interest and similar income and Interest and similar expense, respectively.

 

The financial assets accepted as collateral in our resale agreements can be used by us, if provided for in the agreements, as collateral for our repurchase agreements or can be sold.

 

In Brazil, control over custody of financial assets is centralized and the ownership of investments under resale and repurchase agreements is temporarily transferred to the buyer. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING strictly monitors the fair value of financial assets received as collateral under our resale agreements and adjusts the collateral amount when appropriate.

 

Financial assets pledged as collateral to counterparties are also recognized in the consolidated financial statements. When the counterparty has the right to sell or re-pledge such instruments, they are presented in the balance sheet under the appropriate class of financial assets.

 

g)Financial assets and liabilities

 

In accordance with IAS 39, all financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, shall be recognized in the balance sheet and measured based on the category in which the instrument is classified.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201519
 

 

Financial assets and liabilities can be classified into the following categories:

 

·Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – held for trading.
·Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – designated at fair value.
·Available-for-sale financial assets.
·Held-to-maturity financial assets.
·Loans and receivables.
·Financial liabilities at amortized cost.

 

The classification depends on the purpose for which financial assets were acquired or financial liabilities were assumed. Management determines the classification of financial instruments at initial recognition.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies financial instruments into classes that reflect the nature and characteristics of these financial instruments.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies as loans and receivables the following classes of balance sheet headings: Cash and deposits on demand, Central Bank compulsory deposits (Note 2.4d), Interbank deposits (Note 2.4e), Securities purchased under agreement to resell (Note 2.4f), Loan operations (Note 2.4g VI) and Other financial assets (Note 2.4g IX).

 

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized, respectively, on the trade date.

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has substantially transferred all risks and rewards of ownership, and such transfer qualifies for derecognition, according to the requirements of IAS 39. Therefore, if the risks and rewards were not substantially transferred, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING evaluates the extent of control in order to determine whether the continuous involvement related to any retained control does not prevent derecognition. Financial liabilities are derecognized when discharged or extinguished.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset against each other and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet solely when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is intention to settle them on a net basis, or simultaneously realize the asset and settle the liability.

 

I-Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - held for trading

 

These are financial assets and liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling them in the short term or when they are part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent history of short-term profit taking.

 

The financial assets and liabilities included in this category are initially and subsequently recognized at fair value. Transaction costs are directly recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are directly included in the consolidated statement of income under Net gain (loss) from investment securities and derivatives. Interest income and expenses are recognized in Interest and similar income and Interest and similar expense, respectively.

 

II-Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – designated at fair value

 

These are assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition (fair value option). This designation cannot be subsequently changed. In accordance with IAS 39, the fair value option can only be applied if it reduces or eliminates an accounting mismatch when the financial instruments are part of a portfolio for which risk is managed and reported to Management based on its fair value or when these instruments consist of hosts and embedded derivatives that shall otherwise be separated.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201520
 

 

The financial assets and liabilities included in this category are initially and subsequently recognized at fair value. Transaction costs are directly recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are directly included in the consolidated statement of income under Net gain (loss) from investment securities and derivatives - Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income and expenses are recognized in Income and similar income and Interest and similar expense, respectively.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING designated certain assets at fair value through profit or loss upon their initial recognition, because they are reported to Management and their performance is evaluated daily based on their fair value.

 

III-Derivatives

 

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. All derivatives are recognized as assets when the fair value is positive, and as liabilities when negative.

 

Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives, when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are accounted for separately at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income in Net gain (loss) from investment securities and derivatives – Financial assets held for trading and derivatives - except when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING designates these hybrid contracts as a whole as fair value through profit or loss.

 

Derivatives can be designated as hedging instruments under hedge accounting and in the event they qualify, depending upon the nature of the hedged item, the method for recognizing gains or losses from changes in fair value will be different. These derivatives, which are used to hedge exposures to risk or modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, and that meet IAS 39 criteria, are recognized as hedge accounting.

 

In accordance with IAS 39, to qualify for hedge accounting, all of the following conditions are met:

 

·at the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.

 

·the hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, consistent with the originally documented risk management strategy for that particular hedging relationship.

 

·for a cash flow hedge, a forecast transaction that is the subject of the hedge must be highly probable and must present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.

 

·the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured, i.e. the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk and the fair value of the hedging instrument can be reliably measured.

 

·the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and it is determined that the hedge has in fact been highly effective throughout the periods for which the hedge was designated.

 

IAS 39 presents three hedge accounting categories: fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, and hedge of net investments in a foreign operation.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses derivatives as hedging instruments under cash flow hedge strategies, fair value hedge and hedge of net investments, as detailed in Note 9.

 

Fair value hedge

 

For derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the following practices are adopted:

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201521
 

  

a)The gain or loss arising from the new measurement of the hedge instrument at fair value should be recognized in income; and

b)The gain or loss arising from the hedged item, attributable to the effective portion of the hedged risk, should adjust the book value of the hedged item and also be recognized in income.

 

When the derivative expires or is sold or the hedge no longer meets the accounting hedge criteria or the entity revokes the designation, the entity should prospectively discontinue the accounting hedge. In addition, any adjustment in the book value of the hedged item should be amortized in income.

 

Cash flow hedge

 

For derivatives that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of derivative gains or losses are recognized in Other comprehensive income – Cash flow hedge, and reclassified to Income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects income. The portion of gain or loss on derivatives that represents the ineffective portion or the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized immediately in income. Amounts originally recorded in Other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to Income are recorded in the corresponding income or expense lines in which the related hedged item is reported.

 

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting and also when ITAU UNIBANCO HOLDING redesignates a hedge, any cumulative gain or loss existing in Other comprehensive income is frozen and is recognized in income when the hedged item is ultimately recognized in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in Other Comprehensive Income is immediately transferred to the statement of income.

 

Hedge of net investments in foreign operations

 

A hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, including hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as part of the net investment, is accounted for in a manner similar to a cash flow hedge:

 

a)the portion of gain or loss on the hedge instrument determined as effective is recognized in other comprehensive income.

b)the ineffective portion is recognized in income.

 

Gains or losses on the hedging instrument related to the effective portion of the hedge which is recognized in comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement upon the disposal of the investment in the foreign operation.

 

IV - Available-for-sale financial assets

In accordance with IAS 39, financial assets are classified as available-for-sale when in the Management’s judgment they can be sold in response to or in anticipation of changes in market conditions, and that were not classified into the categories of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held to maturity.

 

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially and subsequently recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, plus transaction costs. Unrealized gains and losses (except losses for impairment, foreign exchange differences, dividends and interest income) are recognized, net of applicable taxes, in Other comprehensive income. Interest, including the amortization of premiums and discounts, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Interest and similar income. The average cost is used to determine the realized Gains and losses on Disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, which are recorded in the consolidated statement of income under Net gain (loss) from financial assets and liabilities – Available-for-sale financial assets. Dividends on available-for-sale assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as Dividend income when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is entitled to receive such dividends and inflow of economic benefits is probable.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201522
 

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is evidence of impairment, resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss. If any impairment evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in income, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as a reclassification adjustment from Other comprehensive income.

 

Impairment losses recognized in the consolidated statement of income on equity instruments are not reversed through the statement of income. However, if in a subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as an available-for-sale financial asset increases and such increase can be objectively related to an event that occurred after the loss recognition, such loss is reversed through the statement of income.

 

V-Held-to-maturity financial assets

 

In accordance with IAS 39, the financial assets classified into the held-to-maturity category are non-derivative financial assets for which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

 

These assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method (as detailed in item VI below). Interest income, including the amortization of premiums and discounts, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Interest and similar income.

 

When held-to-maturity financial assets are impaired, the loss is recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount through the use of an allowance account and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the loss was recognized, the previously recognized loss is reversed. The reversal amount is also recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 

VI-Loan operations

 

Loan operations are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

The effective interest rate approach is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that is applied to future payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument that results in an amount equal to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all commissions paid or received between parties to the contract, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies a loan operation as on non-accrual status if the payment of the principal or interest has been in default for 60 days or more. When a loan is placed on non- accrual status, the accrual of interest of the loan is discontinued.

 

When a financial asset or group of similar financial assets is impaired and its carrying amount is reduced through an allowance for loan losses, the subsequent interest income is recognized on the reduced carrying amount using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for purposes of measuring the allowance for loan losses.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201523
 

 

Our Individuals portfolio consists primarily of vehicle financing to individuals, credit card, personal loans (including mainly consumer finance and overdrafts) and residential mortgage loans. The Corporate portfolio includes loans made to large corporate clients. Our Small / Medium Business Portfolio corresponds to loans to a variety of customers from small to medium-sized companies. The Foreign Loans Latin America is substantially comprised of loans granted to individuals in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

 

At a corporate level, there are two groups (independent from the business areas) the credit risk group and the finance group, which are responsible for defining the methodologies used to measure the allowance for loan losses and for performing the corresponding calculations on a recurring basis.

 

The credit risk group and the finance group, at the corporate level, monitor the trends observed in the allowance for loan losses at the portfolio segment level, in addition to establishing an initial understanding of the variables that may trigger changes in the allowance for loan losses, the probability of default or the loss given default.

 

Once the trends have been identified and an initial assessment of the variables has been made at the corporate level, the business areas are responsible for further analyzing these observed trends at a detailed level and for each portfolio, in order to understand the underlying reasons for the trends observed and for deciding whether changes are required in our credit policies.

 

VII -Lease operations (as lessor)

 

When assets are subject to a finance lease, the present value of lease payments is recognized as a receivable in the consolidated balance sheet under Loan operations and Lease Operations.

 

Initial direct costs when incurred by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are included in the initial measurement of the lease receivable, reducing the amount of income to be recognized over the lease period. Such initial costs usually include commissions and legal fees.

 

The recognition of interest income reflects a constant rate of return on the net investment of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Interest and similar income.

 

VIII -Allowance for loan and lease losses

 

General

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING periodically assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a receivable or group of receivables is impaired. A receivable or group of receivables is impaired and there is a need for recognizing an impairment loss if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows that can be reliably estimated.

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses is recognized as probable losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The determination of the level of the allowance rests upon various judgments and assumptions, including current economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan and lease loss experience and evaluation of credit risk related to individual loans. Our process for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses includes Management's judgment and the use of estimates. The adequacy of the allowance is regularly analyzed by Management.

 

The criteria adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING for determining whether there is objective evidence of impairment include the following:

 

·default in principal or interest payment.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201524
 

  

·financial difficulties of the debtor and other objective evidence that results in the deterioration of the financial position of the debtor (for example, debt-to-equity ratio, percentage of net sales or other indicators obtained through processes adopted to monitor credit, particularly for retail portfolios).

·breach of loan clauses or terms.

·entering into bankruptcy.

·loss of competitive position of the debtor.

 

The estimated period between the loss event and its identification is defined by Management for each portfolio of similar receivables. Considering the representativeness of several homogeneous groups, management chose to use a twelve month period as being the most representative. For portfolios of loans that are individually evaluated for impairment this period is at most 12 months, considering the review cycle for each loan operation.

 

Assessment

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists for receivables that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for receivables that are not individually significant.

 

To determine the amount of the allowance for individually significant receivables with objective evidence of impairment, methodologies are used that consider both the quality of the client and the nature of the transaction, including its collateral, to estimate the cash flows expected from these loans.

 

If no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed receivable, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of receivables with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Receivables that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is recognized are not included in the collective assessment. The amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

 

For collectively assessed loans, the calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows for which there is collateral reflects the historical performance of the foreclosure and recovery of fair value, considering the cash flows that may arise from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling that collateral.

 

For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, receivables are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. The characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for such receivables by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the receivables being evaluated. Future cash flows in a group of receivables that are collectively evaluated for purposes of identifying the need for recognizing impairment are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash flows of the group of receivables and historical loss experience for receivables with similar credit risk characteristics. The historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently.

 

For individually significant receivables with no objective evidence of impairment, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies these loans into certain rating categories based on several qualitative and quantitative factors applied through internally developed models. Considering the size and the different risk characteristics of each contract, the rating category determined according to internal models can be reviewed and modified by our Corporate Credit Committee, the members of which are executives and officers in corporate credit risk. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates inherent losses for each rating category considering an internally developed approach for low-default portfolios, that uses our historical experience for building internal models, that are used both to estimate the PD (probability of default) and to estimate the LGD (loss given default.)

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201525
 

  

To determine the amount of the allowance for individually insignificant items loans are segregated into classes considering the underlying risks and characteristics of each group. The allowance for loan and lease losses is determined for each of those classes through a process that considers historical delinquency and loan loss experience over the most recent years.

 

Measurement

 

The methodology used to measure the allowance for loan and lease losses was developed internally by the credit risk and finance areas at the corporate level. In those areas and considering the different characteristics of the portfolios, different areas are responsible for defining the methodology to measure the allowance for each: Corporate (including loan operations with objective evidence of impairment and individually significant loan operations but with no objective evidence of impairment), Individuals, Small and Medium Businesses, and Foreign Units Latin America. Each of the four portfolio areas responsible for defining the methodology to measure the allowance for loan and lease losses is further divided into groups, including groups that develop the methodology and groups that validate the methodology. A centralized group in the credit risk area is responsible for measuring the allowance on a recurring basis following the methodologies developed and approved for each of the four areas.

 

The methodology is based on two components to determine the amount of the allowance: The probability of default by the client or counterparty (PD), and the potential economic loss that may occur in the event of default, being the debt that cannot be recovered (LGD) which are applied to the outstanding balance of the loan. Measurement and assessment of these risk components is part of the process for granting credit and for managing the portfolio. The estimated amounts of PD and LGD are measured based on statistical models that consider a significant number of variables which are different for each class and include, among others, income, equity, past loan experiences, level of indebtedness, economic sectors that affect collectability and other attributes of each counterparty and of the economic environment. These models are regularly updated for changes in economic and business conditions.

 

A model updating process is started when the modeling area identifies that it is not capturing significant effects of the changes of economic conditions, in the performance of the portfolio or when a change is made in the methodology for calculating the allowance for loan and lease losses. When a change in the model is made, the model is validated through back-testing and statistical methods are used to measure its performance through detailed analysis of its documentation, by describing step-by-step how the process is carried out. The models are validated by an area independent from the one developing it, by issuing a technical report on the assumptions used (integrity, consistency, and replicability of the bases) and on the mathematical methodology used. The technical report is subsequently submitted to CTAM (Model assessment technical committee), which is the highest level of approval of model reviews.

 

Considering the different characteristics of the loans at each of the four portfolio areas (Corporate (with no objective evidence of impairment), Individuals, Small and Medium Businesses, and Foreign Units Latin America), different areas within the corporate credit risk area are responsible for developing and approving the methodologies for loans in each of those four portfolio areas. Management believes that the fact that different areas focus on each of the four portfolios results in increased knowledge, specialization and awareness of the teams as to the factors that are more relevant for each portfolio area in measuring the loan losses. Also considering such different characteristics and other factors, different inputs and information are used to estimate the PD and LGD as further detailed below:

 

·Corporate (with no evidence of impairment) - factors considered and inputs used are mainly the history of the customer relationship with us, the results of analysis of the customer’s accounting statements and the information obtained through frequent contacts with its officers, aiming at understanding the strategy and the quality of its management. Additionally, industry and macroeconomic factors are also included in the analysis. All those factors (which are quantitative and qualitative) are used as inputs to the internal model developed to determine the corresponding rating category. This approach is also applied to the corporate credit portfolio outside Brazil.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201526
 

 

·Individuals – factors considered and inputs used are mainly the history of the customer relationship with us, and information available through credit bureaus (negative information).

 

·Small / Medium Businesses – factors considered and inputs used include, in addition to the history of the customer relationship and credit bureau information about the customer’s revenues, industry expertise, and information about its shareholders and officers, among others.

 

·Foreign Units – Latin America – considering the relative smaller size of this portfolio and its more recent nature, the models are simpler and use the past due status and an internal rating of the customer as main factors.

 

Reversal, write-off, and renegotiation

 

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment is reversed. The amount of reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of Income under Expense for allowance for loan and lease losses.

 

When a loan is uncollectible, it is written-off in the balance sheet under allowance for loan and lease losses. Write-off as losses occur after 360 days of credits have matured or after 540 days for loans with maturities over 36 months.

 

In almost all cases for loan products, renegotiated loans require at least one payment to be made under the renegotiated terms in order for it to be removed from nonperforming and nonaccrual status. Renegotiated loans return to nonperforming and nonaccrual status when they reach 60 days past due under the renegotiated terms, which typically corresponds to the borrower missing two or more payments.

 

IX-Other financial assets

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING presents these assets, which composition is detailed in Note 20a, in the consolidated balance sheet initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Interest income is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Interest and similar income.

 

X-Financial liabilities at amortized cost

 

The financial liabilities that are not classified at fair value through profit or loss are classified into this category and initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expenses are presented in consolidated statement of income under Interest and similar expense.

 

The following financial liabilities are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and recognized at amortized cost:

 

·Deposits (See Note 17).
·Securities sold under repurchase agreements (Note 2.4f).
·Funds from interbank markets (Note 19a).
·Funds from institutional markets (Note 19b).
·Liabilities for capitalization plans.
·Other financial liabilities (Note 20b).

h)Investments in associates and joint ventures

 

I –  Associates

 

In accordance with IAS 28 – “Investments in associates and joint ventures”, associates are those companies in which the investor has significant influence, but does not have control. Significant influence is usually presumed to exist when an interest in voting capital is held from 20% to 50%. Investments in these companies are initially recognized at cost of acquisition and subsequently accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates and joint ventures include the goodwill identified upon acquisition, net of any cumulative impairment loss.

 

II –  Joint arrangements

 

Before January 1, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING consolidated proportionally its interest held in joint ventures, in conformity with the requirements of IAS 31 – “Interests in joint ventures”. As from that date, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopted IFRS 11 – “Joint arrangements”, thus changing its accounting policy from interest in joint business to the equity method.

 

In accordance with the IFRS 11, investments in joint business are classified as joint operations or joint ventures. The classification is dependent upon the contractual rights and obligations held by each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangements.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and concluded that it has both joint operations and joint ventures. There was no change in the accounting treatment for joint operations. For joint ventures, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopted the new policy for interest in joint ventures, in accordance with the IFRS 11 transition provisions.

 

The effects arising from adopting IFRS 11, which gave rise to a change in the accounting policy, have not had significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s share in profits or losses of its associates and joint ventures after acquisition is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Its share of the changes in the reserves of corresponding stockholders’ equity of its associates and joint ventures is recognized in its own reserves of stockholders’ equity. The cumulative changes after acquisition are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING share of losses of an associates and joint ventures is equal or above its interest in the associates and joint ventures, including any other receivables, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING does not recognize additional losses, unless it has incurred any obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates and joint ventures.

 

Unrealized profits on transactions between ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the interest of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting policies on associates and joint ventures are consistent with the policies adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

If the interest in the associates and joint ventures decreases, but ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING retains significant influence or joint control, only the proportional amount of the previously recognized amounts in Other comprehensive income is reclassified in Income, when appropriate.

 

Gains and losses from dilution arising from investments in associates and joint ventures are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 

i)Lease commitments (as lessee)

 

As a lessee, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has finance and operating lease agreements.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201528
 

  

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING leases certain fixed assets. Leases of fixed assets, in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING substantially holds all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership are classified as finance leases. They are capitalized on the commencement date of the leases at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the lease future minimum payments.

 

Each lease installment is allocated partially to the liability and partially to financial charges, so that a constant rate is obtained for the outstanding debt balance. The corresponding obligations, net of future financial charges, are included in Other financial liabilities. The interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income over the lease term, to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Fixed assets acquired through finance lease are depreciated over their useful lives.

 

Expenses of operating leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of income, on a straight-line basis, over the period of lease.

 

When an operating lease is terminated before the end of the lease term, any payment to be made to the lessor as a penalty is recognized as an expense in the period the termination occurs.

 

j)Fixed assets

 

In accordance with IAS 16 – “Property, plant and equipment”, fixed assets are recognized at the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation, calculated using the straight-line method and rates based on the estimated useful lives of these assets. Such rates are presented in Note 15.

 

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each year.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING reviews its assets in order to identify whether any indications of impairment exist. If such indications are identified, fixed assets are tested for impairment. In accordance with IAS 36 – Impairment of assets, impairment losses are recognized for the difference between the carrying and recoverable amount of an asset (or group of assets), in the consolidated statement of income. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be identified (cash-generating units). The assessment may be made at an individual asset level when the fair value less the cost to sell may be reliably determined.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING in the period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 did not recognize any impairment losses related to fixed assets.

 

Gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Other income or General and administrative expenses.

 

k)Goodwill

 

In accordance with IFRS 3 (R) – “Business combinations”, goodwill may arise on an acquisition and represents the excess of the consideration transferred plus non-controlling interest over the net fair value of the net identifiable assets and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Goodwill is not amortized, but its recoverable amount is tested for impairment annually or when there is any indication of impairment, using an approach that involves the identification of cash-generating units and estimates of fair value less cost to sell and/or value in use.

 

As defined in IAS 36, a cash-generating unit is the lowest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination.

 

IAS 36 determines that an impairment loss shall be recognized for a cash-generating unit if the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount. The loss shall be allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis applied to the carrying amount of each asset. The loss cannot reduce the carrying amount of an asset below the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The impairment loss of goodwill cannot be reversed.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201529
 

  

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under the line Goodwill.

 

Goodwill of associates and joint ventures is reported as part of investment in the consolidated balance sheet under Investments in associates and joint ventures, and the impairment test is carried out in relation to the total balance of the investments (including goodwill).

 

l)Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are non-physical assets, including software and other assets, and are initially recognized at cost. Intangible assets are recognized when they arise from legal or contractual rights, their costs can be reliably measured, and in the case of intangible assets not arising from separate acquisitions or business combinations, it is probable that future economic benefits may arise from their use. The balance of intangible assets refers to acquired assets or those internally generated.

 

Intangible assets may have finite or indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but periodically tested in order to identify any impairment.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING semi-annually assesses its intangible assets in order to identify whether any indications of impairment exist, as well as possible reversal of previous impairment losses. If such indications are found, intangible assets are tested for impairment. In accordance with IAS 36, impairment losses are recognized as the difference between the carrying and the recoverable amount of an asset (or group of assets), and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For purposes of assessing an impairment, assets are grouped into the minimum level for which cash flows can be identified. The assessment can be made at an individual asset level when the fair value less its cost to sell can be determined reliably.

 

In the period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING did not recognize impairment losses related to acquisition of rights to credit payroll, association for the promotion and offer of financial products and services and development of software, caused by results below expectations.

 

As set forth in IAS 38, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING elected the cost model to measure its intangible assets after its initial recognition.

 

m)Assets held for sale

 

Assets held for sale are recognized in the balance sheet when they are actually repossessed or there is intention to sell. These assets are initially recorded at the lower of: (i) the fair value of the asset less the estimated selling expenses, or (ii) the carrying amount of the related asset held for sale.

 

Subsequent reductions in the carrying value of such assets are recorded as a loss due to decreases in fair value less costs to sell, in the consolidated statement of income under General and administrative expenses. In the case of recovery of the fair value less cost to sell, the recognized losses can be reversed.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201530
 

  

n)Income tax and social contribution

 

There are two components of the provision for income tax and social contribution: current and deferred.

 

Current income tax expense approximates taxes to be paid or recovered for the applicable period. Current assets and liabilities are recorded in the balance sheet under Tax assets – income tax and Social contribution - current and Tax liabilities assets – income tax and Social contribution – current, respectively.

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution represented by deferred tax assets and liabilities are obtained based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the financial statements at each year end. The tax benefit of tax loss carryforwards is recognized as an asset. Deferred tax assets are only recognized when it is probable that future taxable income will be available for offset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet under Tax assets – Income tax and social contribution – Deferred and Tax liabilities – Income tax and social contribution - Deferred, respectively.

 

Income tax and social contribution expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Income tax and social contribution, except when it refers to items directly recognized in Other comprehensive income, such as: deferred tax on fair value measurement of available-for-sale financial assets, and tax on cash flow hedges. Deferred taxes of such items are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in Income together with the recognition of the gain / loss originally deferred.

 

Changes in tax legislation and rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Income tax and social contribution in the period in which they are enacted. Interest and fines are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under General and administrative expenses. Income tax and social contribution are calculated at the rates shown below, considering the respective taxable bases, based on the current legislation related to each tax, which in the case of the operations in Brazil are for all the reporting periods as follows:

 

   03/31/2015 
Income tax   15.00%
Additional income tax   10.00%
Social contribution (*)   15.00%

(*) For non-financial operations consolidated in the financial statements the social contribution rate regards 9.00%.

 

To determine the proper level of provisions for taxes to be maintained for uncertain tax positions, a two-phased approach was applied, according to which a tax benefit is recognized if it is more probable than not that a position can be sustained. The benefit amount is then measured to be the highest tax benefit which probability of realization is over 50%.

 

o)Insurance contracts and private pension

 

IFRS 4 – “Insurance contracts” defines insurance contracts as contracts under which the issuer accepts a significant insurance risk of the counterparty, by agreeing to compensate it if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects it.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through its subsidiaries, issues contracts to clients that have insurance risks, financial risks or a combination of both. A contract under which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING accepts significant insurance risks from its clients and agrees to compensate them upon the occurrence of a specified uncertain future event is classified as an insurance contract. The insurance contract may also transfer a financial risk, but is accounted for as an insurance contract, should the insurance risk be significant.

 

As permitted by IFRS 1, upon adoption of IFRS for the first time, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING elected not to change its accounting policies for insurance contracts, which follow accounting practices adopted in Brazil (“BRGAAP”).

 

Investment contracts are those that transfer a significant financial risk. Financial risk is the risk of a future change in one or more variables, such as interest rate, price of financial assets, price of commodities, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit risk rating, credit index or other variable.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201531
 

  

Investment contracts may be reclassified as insurance contracts after their initial classification, should the insurance risk become significant.

 

Investment contracts with discretionary participation features are financial instruments, but they are treated as insurance contracts, as established by IFRS 4.

 

Once the contract is classified as an insurance contract, it remains as such until the end of its life, even if the insurance risk is significantly reduced during such period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expired.

 

Note 30 presents a detailed description of all products classified as insurance contracts.

 

Private pension plans

 

In accordance with IFRS 4, an insurance contract is one that exposes its issuer to a significant insurance risk. An insurance risk is significant only if the insurance event could cause an issuer to pay significant additional benefits in any scenario, except for those that do not have commercial substance. Additional benefits refer to amounts that exceed those that would be payable if no insured event occurred.

 

Contracts that contemplate retirement benefits after an accumulation period (known as PGBL, VGBL and FGB) assure, at the commencement date of the contract, the basis for calculating the retirement benefit (mortality table and minimum interest). The contracts specify the annuity fees and, therefore, the contract transfers the insurance risk to the issuer at the commencement date, and they are classified as insurance contracts.

 

The payment of additional benefits is considered significant in all scenarios with commercial substance, since survival of the beneficiary may exceed the survival estimates in the actuarial table used to define the benefit agreed in the contract. The option of conversion into a fixed amount to be paid for the life of the beneficiary is not available. All contracts give the right to the counterparty to choose a life annuity benefit.

 

Insurance premiums

 

Insurance premiums are recognized by issuing an insurance policy or over the period of the contracts in proportion to the amount of the insurance coverage. Insurance premiums are recognized as income in the consolidated statement of income.

 

If there is evidence of impairment losses with respect to receivables for insurance premiums, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes a provision, sufficient to cover this loss, based on the risk analysis of realization of insurance premiums receivable with installments overdue for over 60 days.

 

Reinsurance

 

Reinsurance premiums are recognized over the same period in which the related insurance premiums are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 

In the ordinary course of business, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING reinsures a portion of the risks underwritten, particularly property and casualty risks that exceed the maximum limits of responsibility that we determine to be appropriate for each segment and product (after a study which considers size, experience, specificities, and the necessary capital to support these limits). These reinsurance agreements allow the recovery of a portion of the losses from the reinsurer, although they do not release the insurer from the main obligation as direct insurer of the risks contemplated in the reinsurance.

 

Reinsurance assets are valued according to consistent basis of risk assignment contracts, and in the event of losses effectively paid are revalued after 365 days elapse in relation to the possibility of non- recovery of such losses. In the event of doubt, these assets are reduced based on the provision recognized for credit risk associated to reinsurance.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201532
 

 

Acquisition costs

 

Acquisition costs include direct and indirect costs related to the origination of insurance. These costs, except for the commissions paid to brokers and others, are expensed directly in income as incurred. Commissions, on the other hand, are deferred and expensed in proportion to the recognition of the premium revenue, i.e. over the period of the corresponding insurance contract.

 

Liabilities

 

Reserves for claims are established based on historical experience, claims in process of payment, estimated amounts of claims incurred but not yet reported, and other factors relevant to the required reserve levels. A liability for premium deficiencies is recognized if the estimated amount of premium deficiencies exceeds deferred acquisition costs. Expenses related to recognition of liabilities for insurance contracts are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Change in reserves for insurance and private pension.

 

Embedded derivatives

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING analyzes all contracts in order to check for any embedded derivatives. In the cases where these derivatives meet the definition of insurance contracts on their own, we do not separate them. We have not identified any embedded derivatives in our insurance contracts, which may be separated or measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 4 requirements.

 

Liability adequacy test

 

IFRS 4 requires that the insurance companies analyze the adequacy of their insurance liabilities in each reporting period through a minimum adequacy test. The liability adequacy test for IFRS was conducted by adopting the current actuarial assumptions for future cash flows of all insurance contracts in force on the balance sheet date.

 

As a result of this test, if the assessment shows that the carrying amount of the insurance liabilities (less related deferred acquisition costs of contracts and related intangible assets) is lower than the value of the estimated future cash flows, any identified deficiency will have to be recognized in income for the period. In order to perform the adequacy test, insurance contracts are grouped in portfolios that are broadly subject to similar risks and which risks are jointly managed as a single portfolio.

 

The assumptions used to conduct the liability adequacy test are detailed in Note 30.

 

p)Capitalization plans

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING sells capitalization certificates, in which clients deposit specific amounts, depending on the plan, which are redeemable at the original amount plus interest. Clients enter, during the term of the plan, into raffles of cash prizes.

 

While for regulatory purposes in Brazil they are regulated by the insurance regulator, these plans do not meet the definition of an insurance contract under IFRS 4, and therefore they are classified as a financial liability at amortized cost under IAS 39.

 

Revenue from capitalization plans is recognized during the period of the contract and measured as the difference between the amount deposited by the client and the amount that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has to reimburse.

 

q)Post-employments benefits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is required to make contributions to government social security and labor indemnity plans, in Brazil and in other countries where it operates, which are expensed in the consolidated statement of income as an integral part of general and administrative expenses, when incurred. Those contributions totaled R$ (504) from January 1 to March 31, 2015 (R$ (392) from January 1 to March 31, 2014).

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201533
 

  

Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING also sponsors defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, accounted for pursuant to IAS 19 – “Employee benefits” up to December 31, 2012 and in accordance with the IAS 19 (revised in June 2011) – “Employee benefits” as from January 1, 2013.

 

Pension plans - Defined benefit plans

 

The liability (or asset, as the case may be) recognized in the consolidated balance sheet with respect to the defined benefit plan corresponds to the present value of the defined benefit obligations on the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is annually calculated by an independent actuarial consulting company using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated amount of future cash flows of benefit payments based on the Brazilian treasury long term securities denominated in reais and with maturity periods similar to the term of the pension plan liabilities.

 

The following amounts are recognized in the consolidated statement of income:

 

·current service cost – defined as the increase in the present value of obligations resulting from employee service in the current period.

 

·interest on the net amount of assets (liabilities) of defined benefit plans is the change, during the period, in the net amount recognized in assets and liabilities, due to the time elapsed, which comprises the interest income on plan assets, interest expense on the obligations of the defined benefit plan and interest on the asset ceiling effects.

 

Actuarial gains and losses arise from the non-realization of the actuarial assumptions established in the latest actuarial evaluation as compared to those effectively carried out, as well as the effects from changes in such assumptions. Gains and losses are fully recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.

 

Pension plans - defined contribution

 

For defined contribution plans, contributions to plans made by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through pension plan funds, are recognized as an expense when due.

 

Other post-employment benefit obligations

 

Certain companies that merged into ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING over the past few years were sponsors of post-employment healthcare benefit plans and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is contractual committed to maintain such benefits over specific periods, as well as in relation to the benefits granted due to a judicial ruling.

 

Similarly to the defined benefit pension plans, these obligations are assessed annually by independent and qualified actuaries, and the costs expected from these benefits are accrued during the length of service. Gains and losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are debited from or credited to stockholders’ equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

 

r)Stock-based compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 - “Share-based payment” which requires the entity to measure the value of equity instruments granted, based on their fair value at the option grant date. This cost is recognized during the vesting period of the right to exercise the instruments.

 

The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (notably remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period). The fulfillment of on-market vesting conditions is included in the assumptions about the number of options that are expected to be exercised. At the end of each period, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to be exercised based on non-market vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statement of income, with a corresponding adjustment to stockholders’ equity.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201534
 

  

When the options are exercised, the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING treasury shares are generally delivered to the beneficiaries.

 

The fair value of stock options is estimated by using option pricing models that take into account the exercise price of the option, the current stock price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the stock price and the life of the option.

 

All stock based compensation plans established by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING correspond to plans that can be settled exclusively through the delivery of shares.

 

s)Financial guarantees

 

In accordance with IAS 39, the issuer of a financial guarantee contract has an obligation and should recognize it initially at its fair value. Subsequently, this obligation should be measured at: (i) the amount initially recognized less accumulated amortization and (ii) the amount determined pursuant to IAS 37 – “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets”, whichever is higher.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes the fair value of the guarantees issued in the consolidated balance sheet under Other liabilities. Fair value is generally represented by the fee charged to client for issuing the guarantee. This amount at the issuance date is amortized over the life of the guarantee issued and recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Banking service fees.

 

After issuance, if based on the best estimate ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING concludes that the occurrence of a loss regarding a guarantee issued is probable, and if the loss amount is higher than the initial fair value less cumulative amortization of the guarantee, a provision is recognized for such amount.

 

t)Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities

 

These are assessed, recognized and disclosed in accordance with IAS 37. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are rights and obligations arising from past events for which materialization depends on future events.

 

Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements, except when the Management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING understands that realization is virtually certain which, generally corresponds to lawsuits with favorable rulings, in final and unappealable judgments, withdrawal from lawsuits as a result of a payment in settlement or as a result of an agreement to offset against an existing liability.

 

Contingent liabilities mainly arise from administrative proceedings and lawsuits, inherent in the ordinary course of business, filed by third parties, former employees and governmental bodies, in connection with civil, labor, and tax and social security claims.

 

These contingencies are evaluated based on the Management’s best estimates, taking into account the opinion of legal counsel when there is a likelihood that financial resources are required to settle the obligations and the amounts can be estimated with reasonable certainty.

 

Contingent losses are classified as:

 

·Probable: in which liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet under Provisions.
·Possible: in which case they are disclosed in the financial statements but no provision is recorded.

·Remote: which require neither a provision nor disclosure.

 

Contingent liabilities recorded under Provisions and those disclosed as possible are measured using best estimates through the use of models and criteria which allow their appropriate measurement even if there is uncertainty as to their ultimate timing and amount, and the criteria are detailed in Note 32.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201535
 

 

The amount of court escrow deposits is adjusted in accordance with current legislation.

 

Contingent liabilities guaranteed by indemnity clauses provided by third parties, such as in business combinations carried out before the transition date to IFRS, are recognized when a claim is asserted, and a receivable is recognized simultaneously subject to its collectability. For business combinations carried out after the transition date, indemnification assets are recognized at the same time and measured on the same basis as the indemnified item, subject to collectability or contractual limitations on the indemnified amount.

 

u)Capital

 

Common and preferred shares, which are equivalent to common shares but without voting rights are classified in Stockholders’ equity. The additional costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are included in Stockholders’ equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of taxes.

 

v)Treasury shares

 

Common and preferred shares repurchased are recorded in Stockholders’ equity under Treasury shares at their average purchase price.

 

Shares that are subsequently sold, such as those sold to grantees under our stock option plan, are recorded as a reduction in treasury shares, measured at the average price of treasury stock held at such date.

 

The difference between the sale price and the average price of the treasury shares is recorded as a reduction or increase in Additional paid-in capital. The cancellation of treasury shares is recorded as a reduction in Treasury shares against Appropriated reserves, at the average price of treasury shares at the cancellation date.

 

w)Dividends and interest on capital

 

Pursuant to the Company's bylaws, stockholders are entitled to a mandatory minimum dividend of 25% of net income for the year, as determined in accordance with the corporate law. Minimum dividend amounts established in the bylaws are recorded as liabilities at the end of each year. Any other amount above the mandatory minimum dividend is accounted for as liabilities, when approved by the stockholders at a Stockholder´s Meeting. Since January 1, 1996, Brazilian companies have been permitted to attribute a tax-deductible nominal interest rate charge on net equity (called interest on capital.)

 

Interest on capital is treated for accounting purposes as a dividend, and it is presented as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements. The related tax benefit is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Dividends have been and continue to be calculated and paid based on the financial statements prepared under Brazilian accounting standards and regulations for financial institutions and not based on these consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS.

 

x)Earnings per share

 

Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to the owners of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING by the weighted average number of common and preferred shares outstanding for each reporting year. Weighted average shares are computed based on the periods for which the shares were outstanding.

 

Earnings per share are presented based on the two types of shares issued by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Both types, common and preferred, participate in dividends on substantially the same basis, except that preferred shares are entitled to a priority non-cumulative minimum annual dividend of R$ 0.022 per share. Earnings per share are computed based on the distributed earnings (dividends and interest on capital) and undistributed earnings of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING after giving effect to the preference indicated above, without regard to whether the earnings will ultimately be fully distributed.

Note 3 – Business development

 

a)Association with Banco BMG S.A.

 

On July 9, 2012 ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING entered into an Association Agreement with Banco BMG S.A. ("BMG"), aiming at the offering, distribution and commercialization of payroll debit loans through the incorporation of a financial institution, the Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. (“Itaú BMG Consignado”). After obtaining the previous approval required for starting operations, issued by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) on October 17, 2012, the final documents were signed on December 13, 2012 and Banco BMG has been a stockholder of Itaú BMG Consignado since January 7, 2013. The completion of the operation was subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Brazil, which was obtained on April 18, 2013.

 

As a result of this transaction stockholders’ equity attributed to non-controlling stockholders increased by R$ 303 at the base date of 2013.

 

On April 29, 2014, an agreement was entered into to establish the combination of payroll loan business of BMG and Itaú BMG Consignado, which was concentrated in Itaú BMG Consignado. In reciprocity for this business combination, on July 25, 2014, a capital increase of Itaú BMG Consignado was carried out, fully subscribed and paid in by BMG in the amount of R$ 181. The possibility of this combination was already set forth in the investment agreement of December 13, 2012, which governs the association. After this capital increase, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING will hold a sixty per cent (60%) interest in the total and voting capital of Itaú BMG Consignado and BMG will hold the remaining forty per cent (40%).

 

Accordingly, as from July 25, 2014 and throughout the period of the Association, Itaú BMG Consignado is exclusive vehicle of BMG and its controlling shareholders for the offer, in the Brazilian territory, of payroll loans, provided that certain exceptions are observed for a maximum period of six (6) months counted from the date on which the capital of Itaú BMG Consignado is increased.

 

It is estimated that this transaction will not have significant accounting effects on the results of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, which will continue to consolidate Itaú BMG Consignado in its financial statements.

 

b)Credicard

 

On May 14, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, signed with Banco Citibank, a Share and Quotas Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of Banco Credicard and Credicard Promotora de Vendas, including “Credicard” brand, for the amount of R$ 2,948 million (monetarily adjusted). The completion of this transaction was pending approval by the Central Bank of Brazil, which was obtained on December 12, 2013 and settled on December 20, 2013.

 

Banco Credicard and Credicard Promotora de Vendas are these entities responsible for the supply and distribution of financial products and services under “Credicard” brand, principally personal loans and credit cards.

 

In view of this transaction, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING consolidated Banco Credicard and Credicard Promotora de Vendas in the consolidated financial statements as from December, 2013 to August 31, 2014. Banco Credicard merged with Banco Itaucard S.A. on August 31, 2014.

 

The allocation of the difference between the amount paid and the allocation of net assets at fair value led to the recognition of goodwill based on expected future profitability, in the amount of R$ 1,863 million, and other intangible assets.

 

c)BMG Seguradora S.A.

 

On June 25, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. (“Itaú BMG Consignado”), which is an entity indirectly controlled by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING signed a Share Purchase Agreement with controlling shareholders of Banco BMG S.A. (“Sellers”) whereby Itaú BMG Consignado agreed to acquire 99.996% of the shares issued by BMG Seguradora S.A.

 

BMG Seguradora generated R$ 62.6 million in retained premiums during 2012 and, from January to May 2013, a retained premiums’ volume of R$ 42.4 million, 77% higher than the volume generated during the same period of 2012.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201538
 

 

BMG Seguradora signed exclusivity agreements with Banco BMG S.A and with the Itaú BMG Consignado for the purpose of distributing insurance products to be offered jointly with the products distributed by these financial institutions.

 

The approval by the Central Bank of Brazil was obtained on December 19, 2013 and the transaction was settled on January 27, 2014 in the amount of R$ 88.1 million. This acquisition has not had any significant accounting impact on the results of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, which has consolidated the transaction in its financial statements since January, 2014.

 

As a result of the study of Purchase Price Allocation - PPA, the allocation of difference between the amount paid and the share in net assets at fair value, resulted in the recognition of a goodwill due to expected future profitability in the amount of R$ 22.7 million.

 

d)Citibank N.A. Uruguay Branch

 

On June 28, 2013, Itau Unibanco Holding, whereby its subsidiary Banco Itaú Uruguay S.A. (“BIU”) executed a binding agreement with Citibank N.A. Uruguay Branch (“Citi”) establishing the rules for the acquisition by BIU of the retail business conducted by Citi in Uruguay.

 

As a result of this transaction, BIU assumed a portfolio of more than 15,000 clients in Uruguay related to the retail business (bank accounts, saving and term deposits). The acquired assets include mainly the credit card operations conducted by Citi in Uruguay under the Visa, Mastercard and Diners brand, which in 2012 represented slightly more than 6% of the Uruguayan market share.

 

Approval was obtained from applicable regulatory authorities on December 10, 2013.

 

The allocation of the difference between the amount paid and the allocation of assets and liabilities related to the operation, net at fair value, led to the recognition of goodwill based on expected future profitability and other intangible assets.

 

e)Partnership with Fiat

 

On August 20, 2013, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING announced that it renewed for another 10 years, by means of its subsidiary Itaú Unibanco S.A., the commercial cooperation agreement entered into with Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. and Fiat Automóveis S.A. (“Fiat”). This agreement sets forth: (i) exclusive financing offer in promotional campaigns held by car maker Fiat for the sale of new automobiles; and (ii) the exclusive use of Fiat brand in vehicle-financing related activities.

 

The amount involved in the transaction is not material for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and, therefore, will not cause any material accounting effect in its results.

 

f)Itaú CorpBanca

 

On January 29, 2014, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, together with its subsidiary Banco Itaú Chile S.A. (“BIC”) entered into an agreement (Transaction Agreement) with CorpBanca (“CorpBanca”) and its controlling stockholders (“Corp Group”) establishing the terms and conditions to merge the operations of BIC and CorpBanca Chile in Chile and in the other jurisdictions in which CorpBanca operates.

 

The operation will be realized by means of (i) capital increase of BIC in the amount of US$ 652 million to be carried out by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING or one of its subsidiaries, (ii) merger of BIC into CorpBanca, with the cancellation of BIC shares and the issuance of new shares, at the estimated rate of 85,420.07 shares of CorpBanca for each 1 share of BIC, to be approved at the stockholders' meeting of CorpBanca upon the affirmative vote of two thirds (2/3) of shares issued by CorpBanca, so that the interests in the bank resulting from the merger (to be named “Itaú CorpBanca”) are 33.58% for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and 33.13% for Corp Group, and (iii) subsequent integration of Itaú BBA Colombia S.A. into the operations of Itaú CorpBanca or its subsidiaries.

Note 8 – Derivatives

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties to manage its overall exposures and to assist its customers in managing their own exposures.

 

Futures – Interest rate and foreign currency futures contracts are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument at a future date, at a contracted price or yield and may be settled in cash or through delivery. The notional amount represents the face value of the underlying instrument. Commodity futures contracts or financial instruments are commitments to buy or sell commodities (mainly gold, coffee and orange juice), at a future date, at a contracted price, which are settled in cash. The notional amount represents the quantity of such commodities multiplied by the future price at the contract date. Daily cash settlements of price movements are made for all instruments.

 

Forwards – Interest forward contracts are agreements to exchange payments on a specified future date, based on a market change in interest rates from trade date to contract settlement date. Foreign exchange forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed price, at an agreed settlement date. Financial instrument forward contracts are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument on a future date at a contracted price and are settled in cash.

 

Swaps – Interest rate and foreign exchange swap contracts are commitments to settle in cash at a future date or dates, based on differentials between specified financial indices (either two different interest rates in a single currency or two different rates each in a different currency), as applied to a notional principal amount. Swap contracts presented in Other in the table below correspond substantially to inflation rate swap contracts.

 

Options – Option contracts give the purchaser, for a fee, the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time a financial instrument including a flow of interest, foreign currencies, commodities, or financial instruments at a contracted price that may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specific indices.

 

Credit Derivatives – Credit derivatives are financial instruments with value relating to the credit risk associated to the debt issued by a third party (the reference entity), which permits that one party (the purchaser of the hedge) transfers the risk to the counterparty (the seller of the hedge). The seller of the hedge should make payments as set forth in the contract when the reference entity undergoes a credit event, such as bankruptcy, default or debt restructuring.

a) Information on credit derivatives

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING buys and sells credit protection mainly related to securities of Brazilian listed companies in order to meet the needs of its customers. When ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING sells contracts for credit protection, the exposure for a given reference entity may be partially or totally offset by a credit protection purchase contract of another counterparty for the same reference entity or similar entity. The credit derivatives for which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is protection seller are credit default swaps, total return swaps and credit-linked notes.

 

Credit Default Swaps – CDS

 

CDS are credit derivatives in which, upon a credit event related to the reference entity pursuant to the terms of the contract, the protection buyer is entitled to receive, from the protection seller, the amount equivalent to the difference between the face value of the CDS contract and the fair value of the liability on the date the contract was settled, also known as the recovered amount. The protection buyer does not need to hold the debt instrument of the reference entity for it to receive the amounts due pursuant to the CDS contract terms when a credit event occurs.

 

Total Return Swap – TRS

 

TRS is a transaction in which a party swaps the total return of a reference entity or of a basket of assets for regular cash flows, usually interest and a guarantee against capital loss. In a TRS contract, the parties do not transfer the ownership of the assets.

 

The table below presents the portfolio of credit derivatives in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING sells protection to third parties, by maturity, and the maximum potential of future payments, gross of any guarantees, as well as its classification by instrument, risk and reference entity.

Total by entity   8,500    3,249    2,341    2,644    266 

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING assesses the risk of a credit derivative based on the credit ratings attributed to the reference entity by independent credit rating agencies. Investment grade are those entities for which credit risk is rated as Baa3 or higher, as rated by Moody's, and BBB- or higher, according to the ratings of Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings. The maximum potential loss that may be incurred with the credit derivative is based on the notional amount of the derivative. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING believes, based on its historical experience, that the amount of the maximum potential loss does not represent the actual level of loss. This is so because, should there be an event of loss, the amount of maximum potential loss should be reduced from the notional amount by the recoverable amount.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201555
 

 

The credit derivatives sold are not covered by guarantees, and during this period, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has not incurred any loss related to credit derivative contracts.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset in the balance sheet only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

Derivatives and repurchase agreements not set off in the balance sheet relate to transactions in which there are enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements, but the offset criteria have not been met in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 mainly because ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has no intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Note 9 – Hedge accounting

 

Hedge accounting varies depending on the nature of the hedged item and of the transaction. Derivatives may qualify for hedging instrument for accounting purposes if they are designated as hedging instruments under fair value hedges, cash flow hedge or hedge of net investment in foreign operations.

 

Cash flow hedge

 

In order to hedge the variability of future cash flows of interest payments and the exposure to future foreign exchange rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses Futures contracts, traded on BM&FBOVESPA and the Chicago Stock Exchange with respect to certain real - denominated variable-interest liabilities and US dollar - denominated variable-interest liabilities, Euro Dollar futures and interest rate swaps with respect to US dollar-denominated redeemable preferred shares issued by one of our subsidiaries, and DDI Future contracts traded on BM&FBOVESPA with respect to US dollar denominated highly probable expected transactions.

 

Under a DI Futures contract, a net payment (receipt) is made for the difference between a normal amount multiplied by the CDI rate and an amount computed and multiplied by a fixed rate. Under interest rate swap and and Euro Dollar futures, a net payment (receipt) is made for the difference between an amount computed and multiplied by LIBOR and a notional amount computed and multiplied by a fixed rate. The gain (loss) from foreign exchange variation in Future DDI, NDF and Forward contracts is calculated by the difference between two periods of the market quotation between the US dollar and local currency.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING cash flow hedge strategies consist of the hedge of the exposure to the variability in cash flows and in the foreign exchange on interest payments that are attributable to changes in interest rates with respect to recognized liabilities and changes in the foreign exchange rates of liabilities not recognized.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has applied cash flow hedge strategies as follows:

 

·Hedge of time deposits and repurchase agreements: hedge of the variability in cash flows of interest payments resulting from changes in the CDI interest rate.

·Hedge of redeemable preferred shares: hedge of the variability in cash flows of interest payments resulting from changes in the LIBOR interest rate.

·Hedge of subordinated certificates of deposit (CDB): hedge of the variability in the cash flows of interest payments resulting from changes in the CDI interest rate.

·Hedge of Highly probable anticipated transaction: Protecting the risk associated to variation in the amount of commitments, when measured in Reais (parent company’s functional currency) arising from variations in foreign exchange rates.

·Hedge of Syndicated Loan: hedge the variability in cash flow of interest payments resulting from changes in the LIBOR interest rate.

 

To evaluate the effectiveness and to measure the ineffectiveness of such strategies, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses the hypothetical derivative method. The hypothetical derivative method is based on a comparison of the change in the fair value of a hypothetical derivative with terms identical to the critical terms of the variable-rate liability, and this change in the fair value of a hypothetical derivative is considered a proxy of the present value of the cumulative change in the future cash flow expected for the hedged liability.

 

Hedge relationships were designated in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014, and related derivatives will mature between 2015 and 2018. Periods in which expected cash flows should be paid and affect the income statement are as follows:

·Hedge of time deposits and agreements to resell: interest paid/received daily.
·Hedge of redeemable preferred shares: interest paid/received every half year.
·Hedge of Highly probable anticipated transaction: foreign exchange amount paid / received on future dates.
·Hedge of Syndicated Loan: interest paid/received daily.

 

Hedge of net investment in foreign operations

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING strategies of net investments in foreign operations consist of a hedge of the exposure in foreign currency arising from the functional currency of the foreign operation, with respect to the functional currency of the head office.

 

To hedge the changes of future cash flows of exchange variation of net investments in foreign operations, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses DDI Futures contracts traded at BM&FBOVESPA, Financial Assets and Forward contracts or NDF contracts entered into by our subsidiaries abroad.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201558
 

 

In DDI Future contracts, the gain (loss) from exchange variation is computed as the difference between two periods of market quotation between the US dollar and Real. In the Forward or NDF contracts and Financial Assets, the gain (loss) from exchange variation is computed as the difference between two periods of market quotation between the functional currency and the US dollar.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING applies the hedge of net investment in foreign operations as follows:

 

·To hedge the risk of variation in the investment amount, when measured in Brazilian Reais (the head office’s functional currency), arising from changes in exchange rates between the functional currency of the investment abroad and the Brazilian Real.

 

To evaluate the effectiveness and to measure the ineffectiveness of such strategies, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses the Dollar Offset Method. The Dollar Offset Method is based on a comparison of the change in fair value (cash flow) of the hedge instrument, attributable to changes in exchange rate and gain (loss) arising from the variation in exchange rates, on the amount of investment abroad designated as a hedged item.

 

Hedge relationships were designated in 2011 and 2012 and the hedge instruments will mature on the sale of investments abroad, which will be in the period when the cash flows of exchange variation are expected to occur and affect the statement of income.

 

Fair value hedge

 

The fair value hedge strategy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING consists of hedging the exposure to variation of the fair value, of interest receipts, which is attributable to changes in interest rates related to recognized assets and liabilities.

 

To hedge the variation in market risk in the receipt of interest, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses interest rate swap contracts related to fixed-rate assets and liabilities expressed in unidad de fomento (CLF) and expressed in euros and U.S. dollars, issued by subsidiaries in Chile and London, respectively.

 

Under an interest rate swap contract, net receipt (payment) is made for the difference between the amount computed and multiplied by variable rate and an amount computed and multiplied by a fixed rate.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has applied fair value hedge as follows:

 

·To protect the risk of variation in the fair value of receipt of interest resulting from variations in the fair value of variable rates involved.

 

To evaluate the effectiveness and to measure the ineffectiveness of such strategy, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses the percentage approach and dollar offset method:

 

·The percentage approach is based on the calculation of change in the fair value of the reviewed estimate for the hedged position (hedge item) attributable to the protected risk versus the change in the fair value of the hedged derivative instrument.

 

·The dollar offset method is calculated based on the difference between the variation of the fair value of the hedging instrument and the variation in the fair value of the hedged item attributed to changes in the interest rate.

 

Hedge relationships were designated in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the respective swaps will mature between 2016 and 2029. Receipts (payments) of interest flows are expected to occur on a monthly basis, and they will affect the statement of income.

b)Dividends

 

Stockholders are entitled to an annual mandatory dividend of not less than 25% of adjusted profit, pursuant to the provisions of the Brazilian Corporate Law. Both common and preferred shares participate equally, after common shares have received dividends equal to the annual minimum priority dividend of R$ 0.022 per share non-cumulative to be paid to preferred shares.

 

The calculation of the monthly advance of the mandatory minimum dividend is based on the share position on the last day of the prior month, with payment being made on the first business day of the subsequent month, in the amount of R$ 0.015 per share.

 

Below is a statement from dividends and interest on equity and the calculation of the minimum mandatory dividend:

Note 22 – Share-based payment

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries have share-based payment programs aimed at involving its management members and employees in the medium and long-term corporate development process.

 

These payments are only made in years in which there are sufficient profits to enable the distribution of mandatory dividends, in order to limit the maximum dilution to which stockholders are subject, and at a quantity that does not exceed the limit of 0.5% of the total shares held by the controlling and minority stockholders at the balance sheet date.

 

These programs are settled by the delivery of ITUB4 treasury shares to stockholders.

 

From January 1 to March 31, 2015, the accounting effect of the share-based payment in income was R$ (292) (R$ (86) from January 1 to March 31, 2014).

 

I – Stock Option Plan (Simple Options)

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a Stock Option Plan (“Simple Options”) aimed at involving management members and employees in the medium and long-term corporate development program of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries, offering them the opportunity to take part in the appreciation that their work and dedication bring to the shares.

 

In addition to the grants provided under the Plan, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING also maintains control over the rights and obligations in connection with the options granted under the plans assumed at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meetings held on April 24, 2009 and April 19, 2013 related to the Unibanco – União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A. and to Unibanco Holdings S.A., and to Redecard S.A. (“Rede”) stock option plans, respectively. The exchange of shares for ITUB4 did not have relevant financial impact accordingly.

 

Simple options have the following characteristics:

 

a)Exercise price: calculated based on the average prices of shares in the three (3) months of the year prior to the grant date. The prices determined will be restated until the last business day of the month prior to the option exercise date based on IGP-M or, in its absence, on the index to be internally determined, and they should be paid within a period equal to that in force for settlement of operations on BM&FBOVESPA.

 

b)Vesting period: determined upon the issue, from one (1) to seven (7) years, counted from the grant date. The vesting period is normally determined at five (5) years.

 

c)Fair value and economic assumptions for cost recognition: the fair value of Simple Options is calculated on the grant date based on the Binominal model. Economic assumptions used are as follows:

 

(i)Exercise price: exercise price previously agreed upon the option issue, adjusted by the IGP-M variation;

 

(ii)Price of the underlying asset (ITUB4 shares): closing price on BM&FBOVESPA on the calculation base date.

 

(iii)Expected dividends: the average annual return rate for the last three (3) years of dividends paid plus interest on capital of the ITUB4 share;

 

(iv)Risk-free interest rate: IGP-M coupon rate at the expiration date of the Simple Option.

 

(v)Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the history of the last 84 monthly returns of the ITUB4 share closing prices, disclosed by BM&FBOVESPA, adjusted by the IGP-M variation.

ll – Partner Plan

 

The employees and management members of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries may be selected to participate in the program that invests a percentage of their bonus to acquire ITUB4 shares and share-based instruments; accordingly, the ownership of these shares should be held by the beneficiaries for a period from three (3) to five (5) years, counted from the initial investment, and are thus subject to market price variation. After complying with the suspension conditions set forth in the program, beneficiaries will be entitled to receive ITUB4 as consideration, in accordance with the numbers of shares provided for in the program regulation.

 

The acquisition price of own shares and Share-Based Instruments is established every six months and is equivalent to the average of the ITUB4 quotation in the 30 days prior to the determination of the acquisition price.

 

The fair value of the ITUB4 as consideration is the market price at the grant date, less expected dividends.

 

The weighted average of the fair value of the ITUB4 as consideration was estimated at R$ 36.62 per share at March 31, 2015 (R$ 28.42 per share at March 31, 2014).

 

Law No. 12,973/14, which adjusted tax legislation to the international accounting standards and terminated the Transition Tax Regime (RTT), set up a new legal framework for payments made in shares. We made changes to the Partner Plan, and adjusted its tax effects, to conform with this new legislation.

III-Variable compensation

 

The policy established in compliance with CMN Resolution No. 3,921/10 sets forth that fifty percent (50%) of the management’s variable compensation should be paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) should be paid in shares for a period of three (3) years. Shares are delivered on a deferred basis, of which one-third (1/3) per year, subject to the executive’s remaining with the institution. The deferred unpaid portions may be reversed proportionally to the significant reduction of the recurring income realized or the negative income for the period.

(*) The average funding rate, net of tax effects, was used to determine the present value.

 

The projections of future taxable income include estimates related to macroeconomic variables, exchange rates, interest rates, volume of financial operations and services fees and others which can vary in relation to actual data and amounts.

 

Net income in the financial statements is not directly related to taxable income, due to differences between accounting criteria and tax legislation, besides corporate aspects. Accordingly, it is recommended that the trend of the realization of deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, and tax loss carry forwards should not be used as an indication of future net income.

 

At 03/31/2015 and 12/31/2014 there are no deferred tax assets and liabilities which have not been recognized.

Note 28 – Earnings per share

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed as shown in the table below for the periods indicated.

a)Retirement plans

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and some of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit plans, including variable contribution plans, whose basic purpose of which is to provide benefits that, in general, represent a life annuity benefit, and may be converted into survivorship annuities, according to the plan's regulation. They also sponsor defined contribution plans, the benefit of which is calculated based on the accumulated balance of individual accounts at the eligibility date, according to the plan’s regulation, which does not require actuarial calculation, except as described in Note 29c.

 

Employees hired up to July 31, 2002, whom came from Itaú, and up to February 27, 2009, whom came from Unibanco, are beneficiaries of the above-mentioned plans. As regards the new employees hired after these dates, they have the option to voluntarily participate in a variable contribution plan (PGBL), managed by Itaú Vida e Previdência S.A..

 

Retirement plans are managed by closed-end private pension entities (EFPC), with independent legal structures, as detailed below:

(3)Defined contribution plan.

 

b)Governance

 

The closed-end private pension entities (EFPC) and the benefit plans they manage are regulated in conformity with the related specific legislation. The EFPC are managed by the Executive Board, Advisory Council and Fiscal Council, with some members appointed by the sponsors and others appointed as representatives of active and other participants, pursuant to the respective Entity’s by laws. The main purpose of the EFPC is to pay benefits to eligible participants, pursuant to the Plan Regulation, maintaining the plans assets invested separately and independently from ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

c)Defined benefit plans

I - Main assumptions used in actuarial valuation of retirement plans

 

  03/31/2015  03/31/2014
Discount rate (1)  10.24% a.a.  9.72% a.a.
Mortality table (2)  AT-2000  AT-2000
Turnover (3)  Exp.Itaú 2008/2010  Exp.Itaú 2008/2010
Future salary growth  7.12% a.a.  7.12% a.a.
Growth of the pension fund and social security benefits  4.00% a.a.  4.00% a.a.
Inflation  4.00% a.a.  4.00% a.a.
Actuarial method (4)  Projected Unit Credit  Projected Unit Credit

(1) The adoption of this assumption is based on interest rates obtained from the actual interest curve in IPCA, for medium-term liabilities of retirement plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED. At 12/31/2014 was adopted a consistent with the economic scenario at the balance sheet date rate, considering the volatility of the interest markets and the models adopted.

(2) The mortality tables adopted correspond to those disclosed by SOA – Society of Actuaries, the North-American entity which corresponds to IBA – Brazilian Institute of Actuarial Science, which reflects a 10% increase in the probabilities of survival compared to the respective basic tables.The life expectancy in years per the AT-2000 mortality table for participants of 55 years of age is 27 and 31 years for men and women, respectively. 

(3) The turnover assumption is based on the effective experience of active participants linked to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, resulting in the average of 2.4 % p.a. based on the 2008/2010 experience.

(4) Using the Projected Unit Credit method, the mathematical reserve is calculated as the current projected benefit amount multiplied by the ratio between the length of service at the assessment date and the length of service that will be reached at the date when the benefit is granted. The cost is determined taking into account the current projected benefit amount distributed over the years that each participant is employed.

 

Biometric/demographic assumptions adopted are consistent with the group of participants of each benefit plan, pursuant to the studies carried out by an independent external actuarial consulting company.

 

II- Risk Exposure - Through its defined benefit plans, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant ones are:

 

- Volatility of Assets - The actuarial liability is calculated by adopting a discount rate defined on the income from securities issued by the Brazilian treasury (government securities). If the actual income from plan assets is lower than expected, this may give rise to a deficit. The plans have a significant percentage of fixed-income securities pegged to the plan commitments, aiming at minimizing volatility and the short and medium-term risk.

 

- Changes in Investment Income - A decrease in income from public securities will imply a decrease in discount rate and, therefore, will increase the actuarial liability. The effect will be partially offset by the recognition of these securities at market value.

 

- Inflation Risk - Most of the employee benefit plans are pegged to the inflation rates, and a higher inflation will lead to higher obligations. The effect will also be partially offset because a significant portion of the plan assets is pegged to government securities restated by the inflation rate.

 

- Life Expectancy - Most of the plan obligations are to provide life benefits and therefore a increase in life expectancy will result in increased plan liabilities.

 

III- Management of defined benefit plan assets

 

The general purpose of managing EFPCs funds is to search for a long-term balance between assets and obligations with payment of retirement benefits, by exceeding the actuarial targets (discount rate plus benefit adjustment index, established in the plan regulations).

 

Regarding the assets guaranteeing the actuarial liability reserves, management should ensure the payment capacity of retirement benefits in the long-term by avoiding the risk of mismatching assets and liabilities in each pension plan.

The allocation of plan assets and the allocation target by type of asset are as follows:

 

   Fair Value   % Allocation
Types  03/31/2015   12/31/2014   03/31/2015   12/31/2014   2015 Target
Fixed income securities   12,382    12,250    91.09%   91.16%  53% to 100%
Variable income securities   659    641    4.85%   4.77%  0% to 20%

Total   13,593    13,438    100.00%   100.00%   

 

The defined benefit plan assets include shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, its main parent company (ITAÚSA) and of subsidiaries of the latter, with a fair value of R$ 572 (R$ 554 at 12/31/2014), and real estate rented to Group companies, with a fair value of R$ 451 (R$ 455 at 12/31/2014).

 

Fair Value

 

The fair value of the plan assets is adjusted up to the report date, as follows:

 

Fixed-Income Securities and Structured Investments – accounted for at market value, considering the average trading price on the calculation date, net realizable value obtained upon the technical addition of pricing, considering, at least, the payment terms and maturity, credit risk and the indexing unit.

 

Variable income securities – accounted for at market value, being so understood the share average quotation at the last day of the month or at the closest date on the stock exchange on which the share has posted the highest liquidity rate.

 

Real Estate – stated at acquisition or construction cost, adjusted to market value upon reappraisals made in 2012, supported by technical appraisal reports. Depreciation is calculated under the straight line method, considering the useful life of the real estate.

 

Loans to participants – adjusted up to the report date, in compliance with the respective agreements.

 

Fund Allocation Target

 

The fund allocation target is based on Investment Policies that are currently revised and approved by the Advisory Council of each EFPC, considering a five-year period, which establishes guidelines for investing funds guaranteeing Actuarial Liability and for classifying securities.

 

IV- Net amount recognized in the balance sheet

 

Following is the calculation of the net amount recognized in the balance sheet, corresponding to the defined benefit plan:

 

   03/31/2015   12/31/2014 
1 - Net assets of the plans   13,593    13,438

(1) Corresponds to the amount calculated on 01/01/2015 based on the beginning amount (Net Assets, Actuarial Liabilities and Asset ceiling), taking into account the estimated amount of payments/ receipts of benefits/ contributions, multiplied by the discount rate of 10.24% p.a.. (At 01/01/2014 used by the discount rate of 9.72% p.a.)  

(2) Remeasurements recorded in net assets and asset ceiling correspond to the income earned above/below the expected return rate.

(3) The actual return on assets amounted to R$ 339 (R$ 1,611 at 12/31/2014).

 

During the period, the contributions made totaled R$ 15 (R$ 17 from 01/01 to 03/31/2014). The contribution rate increases based on the beneficiary’s salary.

 

In 2015, contribution to the retirement plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is expected to amount to R$ 58.

 

The estimate for payment of benefits for the next 10 years is as follows:

 

   Payment 
Period  estimate 
2015   845 
2016   867 
2017   889

d)Defined contribution plans

 

The defined contribution plans have assets relating to sponsors’ contributions not yet included in the participant’s account balance due to loss of eligibility to a plan benefit, as well as resources from the migration from the defined benefit plans. The fund will be used for future contributions to the individual participants' accounts, according to the rules of the respective benefit plan regulation.

e)Other post-employment benefits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries do not offer other post-employment benefits, except in those cases arising from obligations under acquisition agreements signed by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, as well as in relation to the benefits granted due to a judicial sentence, in accordance with the terms and conditions established, in which health plans are totally or partially sponsored for specific groups of former workers and beneficiaries.

 

Based on the report prepared by an independent actuary, the changes in obligations for these other projected benefits and the amounts recognized in the balance sheet, under liabilities, of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are as follows:

 

I- Change in the net amount recognized in the balance sheet:

 

  03/31/2015   12/31/2014

2020 to 2024   73 

 

II-Assumptions and sensitivity - medical care cost

 

For calculation of projected benefits obligations in addition to the assumptions used for the defined benefit plans (Note 29c I), an 9.72% p.a. increase in medical costs assumption is assumed.

 

Assumptions about medical care cost trends have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in income. A change of one percentage point in the medical care cost rates would have the following effects:

 

   Recognition  1.0% increase   1.0% decrease 
Service cost and interest cost  Income   2    (2)
Present value of obligation  Other comprehensive income   21    (18)

Note 30 – Insurance contracts

 

a)Insurance contracts

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through its subsidiaries, offers to the market insurance and private pension products, with the purpose of assuming risks and restoring the economic balance of the assets of the policyholder if damaged. Products are offered through insurance brokers (third parties operating in the market and its own brokers), Itaú Unibanco branches and electronic channels, according to their characteristics and regulatory requirements.

 

b)Main products

 

I - Insurance

 

The contract entered into between the parties aims at guaranteeing the protection of the client's assets. Upon payment of a premium, the policyholder is protected through previously-agreed replacement or indemnification clauses for damages. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING insurance companies then recognize technical reserves administered by themselves, through specialized areas within the conglomerate, with the objective of indemnifying the policyholder's loss in the event of claims of insured risks.

 

The insurance risks sold by insurance companies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are divided into property and casualty, that covers losses, damages or liabilities for assets or persons, and life insurance, that includes coverage for death and personal accidents.

II - Private pension

 

Developed as a solution to ensure the maintenance of the quality of life of participants, as a supplement to the government plans, through long-term investments, private pension products are divided into three major groups:

 

·PGBL - Plan Generator of Benefits: The main objective of this plan is the accumulation of financial resources, but it can be purchased with additional risk coverage. Recommended for clients that file the full version of income tax return (rather than the simplified version), because they can deduct contributions paid for tax purposes up to 12% of the annual taxable gross income.

 

·VGBL - Redeemable Life Insurance: This is an insurance structured as a pension plan. Its taxation differs from the PGBL; in this case, the tax basis is the earned income.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 201598
 

 

·FGB - Fund Generator of Benefits: This is a pension plan with minimum income guarantee, and possibility of receiving earnings from asset performance. Once recognized the distribution of earnings at a certain percentage, as established by the FGB policy, it is not at management's discretion, but instead represents an obligation to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Although there are plans still in existence, they are no longer sold.

d)Deferred selling expenses

 

Deferred acquisition costs of insurance are direct and indirect costs incurred to sell, underwrite and originate a new insurance contract.

 

Direct costs are basically commissions paid for brokerage services, agency and prospecting efforts and are deferred for amortization in proportion to the recognition of revenue from earned premiums, that is, over the coverage period, for the term of effectiveness of contracts, according to the calculation rules in force.

 

Balances are recorded under gross reinsurance assets and changes are shown in the table below:

 

Balance at 01/01/2015   1,647 
Increase   288 
Amortization   (468)
Balance at 03/31/2015   1,467 
Balance to be amortized in up to 12 months   925 
Balance to be amortized after 12 months   542

In the breakdown of the table on change of claims, historic claims were excluded from major risk insurance operations, as informed in Note 3i.

 

The breakdown of the table development of claims between administrative and legal evidences the reallocation of claims up to a certain base date and that become legal ones afterwards, which may give the wrong impression of need for adjusting the provisions in each breakdown.

f)Liability adequacy test

 

As established in IFRS 4 – “Insurance contracts”, an insurance company must carry out the Liability Adequacy Test, comparing the amount recognized for its technical reserves with the current estimate of cash flow of its future obligations. The estimate should consider all cash flows related to the business, which is the minimum requirement for carrying out the adequacy test.

 

The Liability adequacy test did not show any deficiency in this period.

 

The assumptions used in the test are periodically reviewed and are based on the best practices and the analysis of subsidiaries’ experience, therefore representing the best estimates for cash flow projections.

 

Methodology and Test Grouping

The methodology for testing all products is based on the projection of cash flows. Specifically for insurance products, cash flows were projected using the method known as run-off triangle of quarterly frequency. Cash flows for the deferral and the assignment phases are tested on a separate basis for social security products.

 

The risk grouping criterion considers groups subject to similar risks that are jointly managed as a single portfolio.

 

Biometric Tables

Biometric tables are instruments to measure the biometric risk represented by the probability of death, survival or disability of a participant.

 

For death and survival estimates biometric tables broken down by gender are used, adjusted according to life expectancy development (improvement), and the Álvaro Vindas table is adopted to estimate benefit requests for disability.

 

Risk-free Interest Rate  

The relevant risk-free forward interest-rate structure is an indicator of the pure time value of money used to price the set of projected cash flows.

 

The relevant structure of risk-free interest rate was obtained from the curve of securities deemed to be credit risk free, available in the Brazilian financial market and determined pursuant to an internal policy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, considering the addition of spread, which took into account the impact of the market result of held-to-maturity securities of the guarantee assets portfolio.

 

Income conversion rate  

The income conversion rate represents the expected conversion of balances accumulated by participants in retirement benefits. The decision of conversion into income by participants is influenced by behavioral, economic and tax factors.

 

Other Assumptions  

Related expenses, cancellations and partial redemptions, future increases and contributions, among others, are assumptions that affect the estimate of projected cash flows since they represent expenses and income arising from insurance agreements assumed.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015106
 

  

g)Insurance risk – effect of changes on actuarial assumptions

 

Property insurance is a short-lived insurance, and the main actuarial assumptions involved in the management and pricing of the associated risks are claims frequency and severity. Volatility above the expected number of claims and/or amount of claim indemnities may result in unexpected losses.

 

Life insurance and pension plans are, in general, medium or long-lived products and the main risks involved in the business may be classified as biometric risk, financial risk and behavioral risk.

 

Biometric risk relates to: i) more than expected increase in life expectancies for products with survivorship coverage (mostly pension plans); ii) more than expected decrease in mortality rates for products with survivorship coverage (mostly life insurance).

 

Products offering financial guarantee predetermined under contract involve financial risk inherent in the underwriting risk, with such risk being considered insurance risk.

 

Behavioral risk relates to a more than expected increase in the rates of conversion into annuity income, resulting in increased payments of retirement benefits.

 

The estimated actuarial assumptions are based on the historical evaluation of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, on benchmarks and the experience of the actuaries.

 

To measure the effects of changes in the key actuarial assumptions, sensitivity tests were conducted in the amounts of current estimates of future liability cash flows. The sensitivity analysis considers a vision of the impacts caused by changes in assumptions, which could affect the income for the period and stockholders’ equity at the balance sheet date. This type of analysis is usually conducted under the ceteris paribus condition, in which the sensitivity of a system is measured when one variable of interest is changed and all the others remain unchanged. The results obtained are shown in the table below:

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015107
 

  

The sensitivity analysis considers a vision of the impacts caused by changes in assumptions, which could affect the income for the period and stockholders’ equity at the balance sheet date. Results were as follows:

(2) The amounts shown in the table express the position at 12/31/2014, since the actuarial calculations are made semi-annually.

 

h)Risks of insurance and private pension

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has specific committees to define the management of funds from the technical reserves for insurance and private pension, issue guidelines for managing these funds with the objective of achieving long-term return, and define evaluation models, risk limits and strategies on allocation of funds to defined financial assets. Such committees are comprised not only of executives and those directly responsible for the business management process, but also for an equal number of professionals that head up or coordinate the commercial and financial areas.

 

Large risks products are distributed by brokers. In the case of the extended warranty product, this is marketed by the retail company that sells the product to consumer. The DPVAT production results from the participation that the insurance companies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING have in the Leading Insurance Company of the DPVAT consortium.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015108
 

  

There is no product concentration in relation to insurance premiums, reducing the concentration risk of products and distribution channels. For large risks products, the strategy of lower retention is adopted, in accordance with certain lines shown below:

 

   01/01 to 03/31/2015   01/01 to 03/31/2014

i)Insurance, pension plan and capitalization management structure

 

The products that make up the portfolios of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s insurance companies are related to the life insurance and elementary, pension plan and capitalization lines. Therefore, we understand that the major risks inherent in these products are as follows:

 

·Subscription risk is the possibility of losses arising from operations of insurance, pension plan and capitalization that go against the organization’s expectations, directly or indirectly associated with the technical and actuarial bases adopted to calculate premiums, contributions and provisions.
·Market risk is the possibility of incurring losses due to fluctuations in the market values of assets and liabilities comprising the actuarial technical reserves.
·Credit risk is the possibility of a certain debtor failing to meet any obligations in connection with the settlement of operations involving the trade of financial assets or reinsurance.
·Operational risk is the possibility of incurring losses arising from the failure, deficiency or inadequacy or internal processes, personnel and systems, or external events impacting the achievement of strategic, tactical or operational purposes of the insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations.
·Liquidity risk in insurance operations is the possibility of the institution’s failure to timely meet its obligations with insured and pension plan beneficiaries in view of lack of liquidity of the assets comprising the actuarial technical reserves.

 

j)Duties and responsibilities

 

In line with good national and international practices and to ensure that the risks arising from insurance, pension plan and capitalization products are properly identified, measured, assesses, reported and approved in proper bodies, the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a risk management structure which guidelines are established in an internal policy, approved by its Board of Directors, applicable to the companies and subsidiaries exposed to insurance, pension plan and capitalization risks in Brazil and abroad.

 

The process of managing insurance, pension plan and capitalization risks is based on responsibilities established and distributed between control and business areas, ensuring independence between them.

 

Also, as part of the risk management process, there is a structure of panels where, decisions may be escalated to superior committees, ensuring compliance with a number of internal and regulatory requirements, as well as balanced decisions regarding risks.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015109
 

  

Management works together with the investment manager to ensure that assets backing long-term products, with guaranteed minimum returns, are managed according to the characteristics of liabilities aiming at actuarial balance and long-term solvency.

 

A detailed mapping of the liabilities of long-term products that result in payment flows of projected future benefits is performed annually. This mapping is prepared based on actuarial assumptions.

 

The investment manager, having this information, uses Asset Liability Management models to find the best asset portfolio composition that enables the outweighing of risks entailed in this type of product, considering its long-term economic and financial feasibility. The portfolio of backing assets is periodically rebalanced based on the fluctuations in market prices of assets, liquidity needs, and changes in characteristics of liabilities.

k)Market, credit and liquidity risk

 

Market risk

 

Market risk is analyzed, in relation to insurance operations, based on the following metrics and sensitivity and loss control measures: Value at Risk (VaR), Losses in Stress Scenarios (Stress Test), Sensitivity (DV01- Delta Variation) and Concentration. For a detailed description of metrics, see Note 36 – Market risk. In the table, the sensitivity analysis (DV01 – Delta Variation) is presented in relation to insurance operations that demonstrate the impact on the cash flows market value when submitted to a 1 annual basis point increase in the current interest rates or index rate and 1 percentage point in the share price and currency.

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING may have insufficient net funds available to honor its current obligations at a given moment. The liquidity risk is managed, for insurance operation, continuously based on the monitoring of payment flows related to its liabilities vis a vis the inflows generated by its operations and financial assets portfolio.

 

Financial assets are managed in order to optimize the risk-return ratio of investments, considering, on a careful basis, the characteristics of their liabilities. The risk integrated control considers the concentration limits by issuer and credit risk, sensitivities and market risk limits and control over asset liquidity risk. Thus, investments are concentrated in government and private securities with good credit quality in active and liquid markets, keeping a considerable amount invested in short- term assets, available on demand, to cover regular needs and any liquidity contingencies. Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING constantly monitors the solvency conditions of its insurance operations.

l)Reinsurance

 

Expenses and revenues from reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized in the period when they occur, according to the accrual basis, with no offset of assets and liabilities related to reinsurance except in the event there is a contractual provision for the offset of accounts between the parties. Analyses of reinsurance required are made to meet the current needs of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, maintaining the necessary flexibility to comply with changes in management strategy in response to the various scenarios to which it may exposed.

 

Reinsurance assets

 

Reinsurance assets represent the estimated amounts recoverable from reinsurers in connection with losses incurred. Such assets are evaluated based on risk assignment contracts, and for cases of losses effectively paid, they are reassessed after 365 days as to the possibility of impairment; in case of doubts, such assets are reduced by recognizing an allowance for losses on reinsurance.

 

Reinsurance transferred

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING transfers, in the normal course of its businesses, reinsurance premiums to cover losses on underwriting risks to its policy holders and is in compliance with the operational limits established by the regulating authority. In addition to proportional contracts, non-proportional contracts are also entered into in order to transfer a portion of the responsibility to the reinsurance company for losses that exceed a certain level of losses in the portfolio. Non-proportional reinsurance premiums are included in Other assets - prepaid expenses and amortized to Other operating expenses over the effectiveness period of the contract on a daily accrual basis.

m)Regulatory authorities

 

Insurance and private pension operations are regulated by the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP). These authorities are responsible for regulating the market, and consequently for assisting in the mitigation of risks inherent in the business.

 

The CNSP is the regulatory authority of insurance activities in Brazil, created by Decree-Law N° 73, of November 21, 1966. The main attribution of CNSP, at the time of its creation, was to set out the guidelines and rules of government policy on private insurance segments, and with the enactment of Law N° 6,435, of July 15, 1977, its attributions included private pension of public companies.

 

The Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP) is the authority responsible for controlling and overseeing the insurance, and reinsurance markets. An agency of the Ministry of Finance, it was created by the Decree-Law N° 73, of November 21, 1966, which also created the National System of Private Insurance, comprising the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A. – IRB Brasil Re, the companies authorized to have plans and the open-ended private pension companies.

Note 31 – Fair value of financial instruments

 

In cases where market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions adopted, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. The estimated fair value achieved through these techniques cannot be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, it cannot be realized in the immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

The following table summarizes the carrying and estimated fair values for financial instruments:

 

   03/31/2015   12/31/2014 
       Estimated       Estimated 
   Carrying value   fair value   Carrying value   fair value

Interbank market debt   131,108    130,389    122,586    122,016 
Institutional market debt   79,810    79,083    73,242    72,391 
Liabilities for capitalization plans   3,077    3,077    3,010    3,010 
Other financial liabilities   67,441    67,441    71,492    71,492 

(*) These assets and liabilities are recorded in the balance sheet at their fair value.

 

Financial instruments not included in the Balance Sheet (Note 36) are represented by Standby letters of credit and guarantees provided, which amount to R$ 75,289 (R$ 73,759 at 12/31/2014) with an estimated fair value of R$ 1,096 (R$ 1,140 at 12/31/2014).

 

The methods and assumptions adopted to estimate the fair value are defined below:

 

a)Cash and deposits on demand, Central Bank compulsory deposits, Securities purchased under agreements to resell, Securities sold under repurchase agreements and liabilities for capitalization plans – The carrying amounts for these instruments approximate their fair values.

 

b)Interbank deposits, deposits, Interbank market debt and Institutional market debt – ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates the fair values by discounting the estimated cash flows and adopting the market interest rates.

 

c)Financial assets held for trading, including Derivatives (assets and liabilities), Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, Available-for-sale financial assets, Held-to-maturity financial assets and Financial liabilities held for trading – Under normal conditions, market prices are the best indicators of the fair values of financial instruments. However, not all instruments have liquidity or quoted market prices and, in such cases, the adoption of present value estimates and other pricing techniques are required. In the absence of quoted prices from National Association of Financial Market Institutions (ANBIMA), the fair values of bonds are calculated based on the interest rates provided by others on the market (brokers). The fair values of corporate debt securities are computed by adopting criteria similar to those applied to interbank deposits, as described above. The fair values of shares are computed based on their prices quoted in the market. The fair values of derivative financial instruments were determined as follows:

 

·Swaps: The cash flows are discounted to present value based on yield curves that reflect the appropriate risk factors. These yield curves may be drawn mainly based on the exchange price of derivatives at BM&FBOVESPA, of Brazilian government securities in the secondary market or derivatives and securities traded abroad. These yield curves may be used to obtain the fair value of currency swaps, interest rate swaps and swaps based on other risk factors (commodities, stock exchange indices, etc.).

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015118
 

  

·Futures and forwards: Quotations on exchanges or criteria identical to those applied to swaps.

 

·Options: The fair values are determined based on mathematical models (such as Black&Scholes) that are fed with implicit volatility data, interest rate yield curve and fair value of the underlying asset. Current market prices of options are used to compute the implicit volatilities. All these data are obtained from different sources (usually Bloomberg).

 

·Credit: Inversely related to the probability of default (PD) in a financial instrument subject to credit risk. The process of adjusting the market price of these spreads is based on the differences between the yield curves with no risk and the yield curves adjusted for credit risk.

 

d)Loan operations and lease operations – The fair value is estimated based on groups of loans with similar financial and risk characteristics, using valuation models. The fair value of fixed-rate loans was determined by discounting estimated cash flows, applying interest rates close to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING current rates for similar loans. For the majority of loans at floating rate, the carrying amount was considered close to their fair value. The fair value of loan and lease operations not overdue was calculated by discounting the expected payments of principal and interest through maturity, at the aforementioned rates. The fair value of overdue loan and lease transactions was based on the discount of estimated cash flows, using a rate proportional to the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, or on the underlying collateral. The assumptions related to cash flows and discount rates are determined using information available in the market and the borrower’s specific information of the debtor.

 

e)Deposits – The fair value of fixed-rate deposits with maturity dates was calculated by using the estimated cash flow discounts based on interest rates close to the current rates ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopts for similar funding. Demand deposits are not included for fair value calculation. The assumptions related to cash flows and discount rates are determined based on information available in the market and information specific for each operation.

 

f)Other financial assets / liabilities – primarily composed of receivables from credit card issuers, deposits in guarantee for contingent liabilities and trading and intermediation of securities. The carrying amounts for these assets/liabilities substantially approximate their fair values, since they principally represent amounts to be received in the short term from credit card holders and to be paid to credit card acquirers, judicially required deposits (indexed to market rates) made by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING as guarantees for lawsuits or very short-term receivables (generally with a maturity of approximately 5 (five) business days). All of these items represent assets / liabilities without significant associated market, credit and liquidity risks.

 

In accordance with IFRS, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies fair value measurements in a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs adopted in the measurement process.

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability being measured occur often enough and with sufficient volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 generally includes: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or quoted prices vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, etc.); (iv) inputs that are mainly derived from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or by other means.

 

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability. Unobservable information shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable information is not available, thus allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Financial assets for trading, Available for sale, and Designated at fair value through profit or loss:

 

Level 1: Highly-liquid securities with prices available in an active market are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. This classification level includes most of the Brazilian Government Securities, securities of foreign governments, shares and debentures traded on stock exchanges and other securities traded in an active market.

 

Level 2: When the pricing information is not available for a specific security, the assessment is usually based on prices quoted in the market for similar instruments, pricing information obtained for pricing services, such as Bloomberg, Reuters and brokers (only when the prices represent actual transactions) or discounted cash flows, which use information for assets actively traded in an active market. These securities are classified into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are comprised of certain Brazilian government securities, debentures, some government securities quoted in a less-liquid market in relation to those classified into Level 1, and some share prices in investment funds. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING does not hold positions in alternative investment funds or private equity funds.

 

Level 3: When no pricing information in an active market, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses internally developed models, from curves generated according to the proprietary model. The Level 3 classification includes some Brazilian government and private securities falling due after 2025 and securities that are not usually traded in an active market.

 

Derivatives:

 

Level 1: Derivatives traded on stock exchanges are classified in Level 1 of the hierarchy.

 

Level 2: For derivatives not traded on stock exchanges, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates the fair value by adopting a variety of techniques, such as Black&Scholes, Garman & Kohlhagen, Monte Carlo or even the discounted cash flow models usually adopted in the financial market. Derivatives included in Level 2 are credit default swaps, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps, plain vanilla options, certain forwards and generally all swaps. All models adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are widely accepted in the financial services industry and reflect all derivative contractual terms. Considering that many of these models do not require a high level of subjectivity, since the methodologies adopted in the models do not require major decisions and information for the model are readily observed in the actively quotation markets, these products were classified in Level 2 of the measurement hierarchy.

 

Level 3: The derivatives with fair values based on non-observable information in an active market were classified into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and are comprised of non-standard options, certain swaps indexed to non-observable information, and swaps with other products, such as swap with option and USD Check, credit derivatives and futures of certain commodities. These operations have their pricing derived from a range of volatility using the basis of historical volatility.

 

All aforementioned valuation methodologies may result in a fair value that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or future fair values. However, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING believes that all methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with the other market participants. However, the adoption of other methodologies or assumptions different than those used to estimate fair value may result in different fair value estimates at the balance sheet date.

Measurement of fair value Level 2 based on pricing services and brokers

 

When pricing information is not available for securities classified as Level 2, pricing services, such as Bloomberg or brokers, are used to value such instruments.

 

In all cases, to assure that the fair value of these instruments is properly classified as Level 2, internal analysis of the information received are conducted, so as to understand the nature of the input used in the establishment of such values by the service provider.

 

Prices provided by pricing services that meet the following requirements are considered Level 2: input is immediately available, regularly distributed, provided by sources actively involved in significant markets and it is not proprietary.

 

Of the total of R$ 94,485 million in financial instruments classified as Level 2, at March 31, 2015, pricing service or brokers were used to evaluate securities at the fair value of R$ 25,662 million, substantially represented by:

 

·Debentures: When available, we use price information for transactions recorded in the Brazilian Debenture System (SND), an electronic platform operated by CETIP, which provides multiple services for transactions involving debentures in the secondary market. Alternatively, prices of debentures provided by ANBIMA are used. Its methodology includes obtaining, on a daily basis, illustration and non-binding prices from a group of market players deemed to be significant. Such information is subject to statistical filters established in the methodology, with the purpose of eliminating outliers.

 

·Global and corporate securities: The pricing process for these securities consists in capturing from 2 to 8 quotes from Bloomberg, depending on the asset. The methodology consists in comparing the highest purchase prices and the lowest sale prices of trades provided by Bloomberg for the last day of the month. Such prices are compared with information from purchase orders that the Institutional Treasury of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING provides for Bloomberg. Should the difference between them be lower than 0.5%, the average price of Bloomberg is used. Should it be higher than 0.5% or if the Institutional Treasury does not provide information on this specific security, the average price gathered directly from other banks is used. The price of the Institutional Treasury is used as a reference only and never in the computation of the final price.

 

Level 3 recurring fair value measurements

 

The departments in charge of defining and applying the pricing models are segregated from the business areas. The models are documented, submitted to validation by an independent area and approved by a specific committee. The daily process of price capture, calculation and disclosure are periodically checked according to formally defined testing and criteria and the information is stored in a single and corporate history data base.

 

The most recurring cases of assets classified as Level 3 are justified by the discount factors used. Factors such as the fixed interest curve in reais and the TR coupon curve – and, as a result, its related factors – have inputs with terms shorter than the maturities of these fixed-income assets. For swaps, the analysis is carried out by index for both parties. There are some cases in which the inputs periods are shorter than the maturity of the derivative.

Sensitivity analyses operations of Level 3

 

The fair value of financial instruments classified in Level 3 (in which prices negotiated are not easily noticeable in active markets) is measured through assessment techniques based on correlations and associated products traded in active markets, internal estimates and internal models.

 

Significant unverifiable inputs used for measurement of the fair value of instruments classified in Level 3 are: interest rates, underlying asset prices and volatility. Significant variations in any of these inputs separately may give rise to significant changes in the fair value.

 

The table below shows the sensitivity of these fair values in scenarios of changes of interest rates, asset prices, or in scenarios vary in prices with shocks and the volatility for non-linear assets:

 

Sensitivity – Level 3 Operations  03/31/2015 
      Impact 
          Stockholders' 
Risk factor groups  Scenarios  Result   equity 
            
   I   (0.0)   (3.7)

Currency, commodities, and ratios  I   -    - 
   II   -    - 
Nonlinear  I   (28.0)   - 
   II   (49.3)   - 

 

The following scenarios are used to measure the sensitivity:

 

Interest rate

 

Shocks at 1, 25 and 50 basis points (scenarios I, II and III respectively) in the interest curves, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

 

Currencies, commodities and ratios

 

Shocks at 5 and 10 basis points (scenarios I and II respectively) in prices of currencies, commodities and ratios, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

 

Non linear

 

Scenario I: Shocks at 5 percentage points in prices and 25 percentage points the level in volatility, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

 

Scenario II: Shocks at 10 percentage points in prices and 25 percentage points the level in volatility, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

In the ordinary course of its businesses, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is subject to contingencies that may be classified as follows:

 

a) Contingent assets: there are no contingent assets recorded.

 

b) Provisions and contingencies: the criteria to quantify contingencies are appropriate to the specific characteristics of civil, labor and tax litigation, as well as other risks.

 

-Civil lawsuits

 

Collective lawsuits (related to claims of a similar nature and with individual amounts not considered significant): contingencies are determined on a monthly basis and the expected amount of losses is accrued according to statistical references that take into account the type of lawsuit and the characteristics of the court (Small Claims Court or Regular Court).

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): calculation is carried out on a periodical basis, as from the calculation of the claimed amount which, in turn, is estimated based on de jure or de facto characteristics related to that lawsuit. The amounts considered as probable losses are recorded as provisions.

 

Contingencies generally arise from revision of contracts and compensation for damages and pain and suffering; most of these lawsuits are filed in the Small Claims Court are therefore limited to 40 minimum monthly wages. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is also party to specific lawsuits over alleged understated inflation adjustments to savings accounts in connection with economic plans implemented by the Brazilian government.

 

From 1986 to 1994, the Brazilian federal government implemented several consecutive monetary stabilization plans (MSP) to combat hyperinflation. In order to implement these plans, the Brazilian federal government enacted several laws based on its power to regulate the monetary and financial systems, as granted by the Brazilian federal constitution.

 

Savings account holders at the time these MSPs were implemented challenged the constitutionality of the laws in connection with such plans, claiming, from the banks in which they held savings accounts, additional interest amounts based on the inflation rates applied to the deposit accounts according to the MSPs.

 

We are defendants in numerous standardized lawsuits filed by individuals in respect of the MSP, and we record provisions for such claims upon service of process for a claim. In addition, we are defendants in class actions, similar to the lawsuits by individuals, filed by either (i) consumer protection associations or (ii) the Public Prosecution Office on behalf of savings account holders. Holders of savings accounts may claim any amount due based on such a decision. We record provisions when individual plaintiffs apply to enforce such decisions, using the same criteria adopted to determine provisions for individual lawsuits.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015125
 

  

The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has issued some decisions favorable to savings account holders, but has not issued a final ruling with respect to the constitutionality of the MSPs as applicable to savings accounts. In relation to a similar dispute with respect to the constitutionality of the MSPs as applicable to time deposits and other private agreements, the STF has decided that the bills were constitutional. As a response to this discrepancy, the National Confederation of the Financial System (CONSIF) an association of Brazilian financial institutions, filed a special proceeding with the STF (Action against the violation of a constitutional fundamental right - “ADPF” No. 165), in which the Central Bank filed an amicus brief, arguing that savings account holders did not incur actual damages and that the MSPs as applicable to savings accounts were in accordance with the federal constitution. Accordingly, the STF suspended the ruling of all appeals involving this matter until it pronounces a final decision. In addition, the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), responsible for decisions about federal legislation, should come forward with a position on several aspects that will directly determine the amount due, should the STF sentence be contrary to the constitutionality of MSPs. The most important rulings will address the following issues: (i) the accrual of compensatory interest on the amount due to the plaintiff, in filings that carry no specific claim to such interest; (ii) the initial date of default interest, in regard to class actions; and (iii) the possibility of compensating the negative difference arising in the month of the MSP implementation, between the interests actually paid on saving accounts and the inflation rate of the same period, with the positive difference arising in the months subsequent to the MSP implementation, between the interests actually paid on saving accounts and the inflation rate of the same period. The STJ also ruled that the term for filing class actions expired 5 years from the date of the MSP implementation. As a consequence, a number of class actions were dismissed by the Judiciary as a result of such ruling.

 

No amount is recorded as provision in relation to civil lawsuits which represent possible losses and which have a total estimated risk of R$ 1,931 (R$ 1,800 at 12/31/2014), these refer to claims for compensation or collection, the individual amounts of which are not significant and in this total there are no values resulting from interests in joint ventures.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015126
 

  

-Labor claims

 

Collective lawsuits (related to claims of a similar nature and with individual amounts not considered significant): the expected amount of loss is determined and accrued monthly based on the statistical share pricing model and is reassessed taking into account court rulings. These are adjusted for the amounts deposited as guarantee for their execution when realized.

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): determined periodically, based on the amount claimed and the likelihood of loss, which, in turn, is estimated according to the factual and legal characteristics related to such lawsuit. The amounts considered as probable losses are recorded as provisions.

 

Contingencies are related to lawsuits in which alleged labor rights based on labor legislation, such as overtime, salary equalization, reinstatement, transfer allowance, pension plan supplement and other, are claimed.

 

No amount is recorded as provision in relation to labor claims which likelihood of loss is considered possible, and which total estimated risk is R$ 489 (R$ 416 at December 31,2014).

 

-Other risks

 

These are quantified and recorded as provisions mainly based on the evaluation of agribusiness credit transactions with joint obligation and FCVS (Salary Variations Compensation Fund) credits transferred to Banco Nacional.

-Tax and social security lawsuits

 

Contingencies are equivalent to the principal amount of taxes involved in administrative or judicial disputes, subject to tax assessment notices, plus interest and, when applicable, fines and charges. The amount is recorded as a provision when it involves a legal liability, regardless of the likelihood of loss, that is, a favorable outcome is dependent upon the recognition of the unconstitutionality of the applicable law in force. In other cases, a provision is set up whenever the loss is considered probable.

The main discussions related to “Provisions” are described as follows:

 

·CSLL – Isonomy – R$ 1,023: as the law increased the CSLL rate for financial and insurance companies to 15%, we argue that there is no constitutional support for this measure and, due to the principle of isonomy, we believe we should only pay the regular rate of 9%. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 1,005;

 

·PIS and COFINS – Calculation basis – R$ 579: we are claiming that those contributions on revenue should be applied only to the revenue from sales of assets and services. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 498;

 

·IRPJ and CSLL – Taxation of profits earned abroad – R$ 537: we are challenging the calculation basis for these taxes on profits earned abroad and argue that Regulatory Instruction SRF No. 213-02 is not applicable since it goes beyond the text of the law. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 498.

 

Off-balance sheet contingencies - The amounts involved in the main tax and social security lawsuits with likelihood of loss possible, which total an estimated risk of R$ 14,186, are described below:

 

·INSS – Non-compensatory amounts – R$ 4,334: we defend the non-taxation of these amounts, mainly profit sharing, stock option plan, transportation vouchers and sole bonus.

 

·IRPJ and CSLL – Goodwill – Deductibility – R$ 1,960: deductibility of goodwill on acquisition of investments with future expected profitability, and R$ 568 of this amount is guaranteed in company purchase agreements.

 

·IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS – Request for offset dismissed - R$ 1,272: cases in which the liquidity and the offset of credits are discussed.

Note 33 – Regulatory capital

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is subject to regulation by the Central Bank of Brazil which issues rules and instructions regarding currency and credit policies for financial institutions operating in Brazil. The Central Bank also determines minimum capital requirements, fixed assets limits, lending limits, accounting practices and compulsory deposit requirements, and requires banks to comply with regulation based on the Basel Accord as regards to capital adequacy. Furthermore, the National Council of Private Insurance and SUSEP issue regulations on capital requirements which affect our insurance, private pension and capitalization operations.

 

The Basel Accord requires banks to have a ratio of regulatory capital to risk exposure assets of a minimum of 8%. The regulatory capital is basically composed of two tiers:

 

·Tier I: sum of Principal Capital, determined in general by capital, certain reserves and retained earnings, less deductions and prudential adjustments, and Supplementary Capital.

 

·Tier II: includes eligible instruments, primarily subordinated debt, subject to prudential limitations.

 

However, the Basel Accord allows the regulatory authorities of each country to establish their own parameters for regulatory capital composition and to determine the portions exposed to risk. Among the main differences arising from the adoption of own parameter pursuant to the Brazilian legislation are the following: (i) the requirement of a ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 11%; with timeline to achieve 8% in 2019; (ii) certain risk-weighted factors attributed to certain assets and other exposures. In addition, in accordance with Central Bank rules, banks can calculate compliance with the minimum requirement based on the consolidation of all financial subsidiaries supervised by the Central Bank, including branches and investments abroad.

 

Management manages capital with the intention to meet the minimum capital required by the Central Bank of Brazil. During the period ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING complied with all externally imposed capital requirements to which we are subject.

 

The following table summarizes the composition of regulatory capital, the minimum capital required and the Basel ratio computed in accordance with the Central Bank of Brazil, on a financial institution consolidation basis.

Note 34 – Segment Information

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is a banking institution that offers its customers a wide range of financial products and services.

 

As from the first quarter of 2015 and the comparison with 2014, the way of presenting the segments was changed in order to adjust it to the bank’s current organizational structure. The following segments will be reported: Retail Banking, Wholesale Banking, and Activities with the Market + Corporation. The Retail Banking now covers the former segments Commercial Banking, – Retail and Consumer Credit – Retail, with the transfer of operations from Private Banking and Latam to the Retail Banking and these are the main changes of this presentation.

 

The current operational and reporting segments of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are described below:

 

·Retail Banking

 

The result of the Retail Banking segment arises from the offer of banking products and services to a diversified client base of account holders and non-account holders, individuals and companies. The segment includes retail clients, high net worth clients (Itaú Uniclass and Personnalité), and the corporate segment (very small and small companies). This segment comprises financing and lending activities carried out in units other than the branch network, and offering of credit cards, in addition to operations with Itaú BMG Consignado.

 

·Wholesale Banking

 

The result of the Wholesale Banking segment arises from the products and services offered to middle-market companies, private banking clients, from the activities of Latin America units, and the activities of Itaú BBA, the unit in charge of commercial operations with large companies and performing as an investment banking unit.

 

·Activities with the Market + Corporation

 

This segment records the result arising from capital surplus, subordinated debt surplus and the net balance of tax credits and debits. It also shows the financial margin with the market, the Treasury operating cost, the equity in earnings of companies not associated to each segment and the interest in Porto Seguro.

 

Basis of presentation of segment information

 

Segment information is prepared based on the reports used by top management (Executive Committee) to assess the performance and to make decisions regarding the allocation of funds for investment and other purposes.

 

The top management (Executive Committee) of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses a variety of information for such purposes including financial and non-financial information that is measured on different bases as well as information prepared based on accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The main index used to monitor the business performance is the Recurring Net Income and the Economic Capital allocated to each segment.

 

The segment information has been prepared following accounting practices adopted in Brazil modified for the adjustments described below:

 

·Allocated capital and income tax rate

 

Based on the managerial income statement, the segment information considers the application of the following criteria:

 

Allocated capital: The impacts associated to capital allocation are included in the financial information. Accordingly, adjustments were made to the financial statements, based on a proprietary model. The Allocated Economic Capital (AEC) model was adopted for the financial statements by segments, and as from 2015, we changed the calculation methodology. The AEC considers, in addition to Tier l allocated capital, the effects of the calculation of expected loan losses, supplementary to the requirements of the Central Bank of Brazil, pursuant to CMN Circular No. 2.682/99. Accordingly, the Allocated Capital comprises the following components: Credit risk (including expected loss), operational risk, market risk and insurance underwriting risk. Based on the portion of allocated capital tier I, we calculated the Return on Economic Allocated Capital, which corresponds to an operational performance indicator consistently adjusted to the capital required to support the risk associated to asset and liability positions assumed, in conformity with our risk appetite.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015134
 

  

Income tax rate: We consider the total income tax rate, net of the tax effect from the payment of interest on capital, for the Retail Banking, Wholesale Bank and Activities with the Market segments. The difference between the income tax amount calculated by segment and the effective income tax amount, as stated in the consolidated financial statements, is allocated to the Activities with the Market + Corporation column.

 

·Reclassification and application of managerial criteria

 

The managerial statement of income was used to prepare information per segment. These statements were obtained based on the statement of income adjusted by the impact of non-recurring events and the managerial reclassifications in income.

 

From the first quarter of 2013 on, some changes were made in the consolidation criteria for managerial results presented in order to better reflect the way Management monitors the bank’s figures. These adjustments change the order of presentation of the lines only and, therefore, do not affect the net income disclosed. Through these reclassifications, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING seeks to align the way it presents its results and enables a better comparison and understanding of the bank’s performance assessment.

 

We describe below the main reclassifications between the accounting and managerial results:

 

Banking product: The banking product considers the opportunity cost for each operation. The financial statements were adjusted so that the stockholders' equity was replaced by funding at market price. Subsequently, the financial statements were adjusted to include revenues related to capital allocated to each segment. The cost of subordinated debt and the respective remuneration at market price were proportionally allocated to the segments, based on the economic allocated capital.

 

Hedge tax effects: The tax effects of the hedge of investments abroad were adjusted – these were originally recorded in the tax expenses (PIS and COFINS) and Income Tax and Social Contribution on net income lines – and are now reclassified to the margin. The strategy to manage the foreign exchange risk associated to the capital invested abroad aims at preventing the effects of the exchange rates variation on income. In order to achieve this objective, we used derivative instruments to hedge against such foreign currency risk, with investments remunerated in Reais. The hedge strategy for foreign investments also considers the impact of all tax effects levied.

 

Insurance: Insurance business revenues and expenses were concentrated in Income from Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Operations. The main reclassifications of revenues refer to the financial margins obtained with the technical provisions of insurance, pension plan and capitalization, in addition to revenue from management of pension plan funds.

 

Other reclassifications: Other Income, Share of Income of Associates, Non-Operating Income, Profit Sharing of Management Members and Expenses for Credit Card Reward Program were reclassified to those lines representing the way the institution manages its business, enabling greater understanding for performance analysis. Accordingly, equity in earnings of investment in Banco CSF S.A. (“Banco Carrefour”) was reclassified to the financial margin line. Additionally, for better comparison with the new consolidation criteria, 100% of the results from partnerships were consolidated (they were previously proportionally consolidated), and expenses for provisions associated to securities and derivatives were reclassified (from Non-interest expenses income to Expenses for allowance for loan losses).

 

The adjustments and reclassifications column shows the effects of the differences between the accounting principles followed for the presentation of segment information, which are substantially in line with the accounting practices adopted for financial institutions in Brazil, except as described above, and the policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements according to IFRS. Main adjustments are as follows:

 

·Allowance for Loan Losses, which, under IFRS (IAS 39), should be recognized upon objective evidence that loan operations are impaired (incurred loss), and the Expected Loss concept is adopted according to Brazilian accounting standards;

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015135
 

  

·Shares and units classified as permanent investments were stated at fair value under IFRS (IAS 39 and 32), and their gains and losses were directly recorded to Stockholders’ Equity, not passing through income for the period;

 

·Effective interest rates, financial assets and liabilities stated at amortized cost, are recognized by the effective interest rate method, allocating revenues and costs directly attributable to acquisition, issue or disposal for the transaction period of the operation; according to Brazilian standards, fee expenses and income are recognized as these transactions are engaged.

 

·Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method in IFRS (IFRS 3), in which the purchase price is allocated among assets and liabilities of the acquired company, and the amount not subject to allocation, if any, is recognized as goodwill. Such amount is not amortized, but is subject to an impairment test.

Note 36 – Management of financial risks

 

Credit risk

 

1.Credit risk measurement

 

Credit risk is the possibility of losses arising from the breach by the borrower, issuer or counterparty of the respective agreed-upon financial obligations, the devaluation of loan agreement due to downgrading of the borrower’s, the issuer’s, the counterparty’s risk rating, the reduction in gains or compensation, the advantages given upon posterior renegotiation and the recovery costs.

 

The credit risk management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s is the primary responsibility of all business units and aims to keep the quality of loan portfolios in levels consistent with the institution’s risk appetite for each market segment in which it operations.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING establishes its credit policies based on internal factors, such as the client rating criteria, performance of and changes in portfolio, default levels, return rates, and the allocated economic capital; and external factors, related to the economic environment, interest rates, market default indicators, inflation, changes in consumption.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a structured process to keep a diversified portfolio deemed as adequate by the institution. The ongoing monitoring on the concentration level of portfolios, by assessing the economic activity sectors and major debtors, enables it to take preventive measures to prevent that defined limits be breached.

 

The process for analyzing the policy and products enables ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING to identify potential risks, so as to make sure that credit decisions make sense from an economic and risk perspective.

 

The centralized process for approval of credit policies and validation of models of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING assures the synchrony of credit actions.

 

The table below shows the correspondence between risk levels attributed by all segments of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING internal models (lower risk, satisfactory, higher risk and impaired) and the probability of default associated with each of these levels, and the risk levels assigned by the respective market models.

 

        External rating
Internal rating   PD   Moody's   S&P   Fitch
Lower risk   Lower than 4.44%   Aaa to B2   AAA to B   AAA to B-
Satisfactory   From 4.44% up to 25.95%   B3 to Caa3   B- to CCC-   CCC+ to CCC-
Higher risk   Higher than 25.95%   Ca1 to D   CC+ to D   CC+ to D
Impaired   Corporate operations with a PD higher than 31.84%            
    Operations past due for over 90 days   Ca1 to D   CC+ to D   CC+ to D
    Renegotiated operations past due for over 60 days            

 

The credit rating in corporate transactions is based on information such as economic and financial condition of the counterparty, its cash-generating capabilities, the economic group to which it belongs, the current and prospective situation of the economic sector in which it operates. The credit proposals are analyzed on a case by case basis, through an approval-level mechanism subordinated to the Superior Credit Committee.

 

Regarding retail (individuals, small and middle-market companies), the rating is assigned based on application and behavior score statistical models. Decisions are made based on scoring models that are continuously followed up by an independent structure. Exceptionally, there may also be individualized analysis of specific cases where approval is subject to competent credit approval levels.

 

Government securities and other debt instruments are classified by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING according to their credit quality aiming at managing their exposures.

 

In line with the principles of CMN Resolution N° 3,721, of April 30, 2009, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has structure and corporate guidelines on credit risk management, approved by its Board of Directors, applicable to companies and subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015141
 

  

2.Management risk limits

 

Centralized control of credit risk is conducted by independent executive area responsible for risk control, segregated from business trading units, as required by current regulations.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING strictly controls the credit exposure of clients and counterparties, taking action to address situations in which the actual exposure exceeds the desired one. For that purpose, contractually provided actions can be taken, such as early payment or requirement of additional collateral.

 

3.Collateral and policies for mitigating credit risk

 

As a way to control the credit risk, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has corporate guidelines that establish general rules and responsibilities for the use of guarantees; additionally, each business unit responsible for the credit risk management formalizes the use of such guarantees in its credit policies.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses guarantees to increase its recovery capacity in transactions involving credit risk. The guarantees used may be personal guarantees, collateral, legal structures with mitigation power and offset agreements.

 

For the guarantees to be considered a risk mitigating instrument, requirements and guidelines of the standards that regulate them, either internal or external ones, must be complied with, and be legally enforceable (effective) and periodically reassessed.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING also uses credit derivatives, such as single name CDS, to mitigate credit risk of its portfolios of loans and securities. These instruments are priced based on models that use the fair value of market inputs, such as credit spreads, recovery rates, correlations and interest rates.

 

The credit limits are continually monitored and changed according to customer behavior. Thus, the potential loss values represent a fraction of the amount available.

 

4.Policy on the provision

 

The policies on the provision adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are aligned with the guidelines of IFRS and the Basel Accord. As a result, an allowance for loan losses is recognized when there are indications of the impairment of the portfolio and takes into account a horizon of loss appropriate for each type of transaction. We consider as impaired loans overdue for more than 90 days, renegotiated loans overdue by more than 60 days and Corporate loans below a specific internal rating. Loans are written-down 360 days after such loans become past due or 540 days of being past due in the case of loans with original maturities over 36 months.

The table above presents the maximum exposure at March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, without considering any collateral received or other additional credit improvements.

 

For assets recognized in the balance sheet, the exposures presented are based on net carrying amounts. This analysis includes only financial assets subject to credit risk and excludes non-financial assets.

 

The contractual amounts of endorsements and sureties and letters of credit represent the maximum potential of credit risk in the event the counterparty does not meet the terms of the agreement. The vast majority of commitments (real estate loans, overdraft accounts and other pre-approved limits) mature without being drawn, since they are renewed monthly and we have the power to cancel them at any time. As a result, the total contractual amount does not represent our effective future exposure to credit risk or the liquidity needs arising from such commitments.

 

As shown in the table, the most significant exposures correspond to loan operations, financial assets held for trading, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, in addition to sureties, endorsements and other commitments.

 

The maximum exposure to the quality of the financial assets presented highlights that:

 

·86.5% of loan operations and other financial assets exposure (Table 6.1 and 6.1.2) are categorized as low probability of default in accordance with our internal rating;

 

·only 3.9% of the total loans exposure (Table 6.1) is represented by overdue credits not impaired;

 

·4.7% of the total loans exposure (Table 6.1) corresponds to overdue loans impaired.

7.Repossessed assets

 

Repossessed assets are recognized as assets when possession is effectively obtained.

 

Assets received from the foreclosure of loans, including real estate, are initially recorded at the lower of: (i) the fair value of the asset less the estimated selling expenses, or (ii) the carrying amount of the loan.

 

Further impairment of assets is recorded as a provision, with a corresponding charge to income. The maintenance costs of these assets are expensed as incurred.

 

The policy for sales of these assets (assets not for use) includes periodic auctions that are announced in advance and considers that the assets cannot be held for more than one year as stipulated by the BACEN. This period may be extended at the discretion of BACEN.

 

The amounts below represent total assets repossessed in the period:

 

   01/01 to   01/01 to

Market risk

 

Market risk is the possibility of losses resulting from fluctuations in the market values of positions held by a financial institution, including the risk of transactions subject to variations in foreign exchange and interest rates, share, of prices indexes and commodity prices among other indexes on these risk factors.

 

Market risk management is the process through which the institution monitors and controls the risks of variations in financial instruments market values due market changes, aimed at optimizing the risk-return ratio, by using an appropriate structure of limits, alerts, models and adequate management tools.

 

The policy of risk management is in line with the principles of CMN Resolution No. 3,464 of June 26, 2007, and posterior amendments, comprising a set of principles that drive the institution’s strategy of control and management of market risks in all business units and legal entities of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

The document set forth by the corporate guidelines on market risk management may be viewed on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri, in the section Corporate Governance / Rules and Policies / Public Access Report - Market Risk.

 

The risk management strategy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING tries to achieve a balance between business objectives, considering among others:

 

·Political, economic and market context;

 

·Market risk portfolio of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING;

 

·Capacity to operate in specific markets.

 

The process for managing market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING occurs within the governance and hierarchy of corporate bodies and limits approved specifically for this purpose, sensitizing different levels and classes of market risk. This market risk framework includes limits that involve the monitoring of aggregate risk indicators (at the portfolio level) and extends its coverage to more granular levels (the individual desk level) with specific limits aiming to improve the process of risk monitoring and understanding and also to prevent risk concentration. These limits are dimensioned considering the projected results of the balance sheet, size of equity, liquidity, complexity and volatility of the market and risk appetite of the institution. Limits are monitored and controlled daily and excesses are reported and discussed in the corresponding corporate bodies. Additionally, daily risk reports used by the business and control areas, are issued to the executives. The process of setting these limits levels and breach reporting follows the governance approved by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING internal policies.

 

The structure of limits and alerts follows the Board of Directors' guidelines and is approved by corporate bodies composed of members of top management. This structure of limits and alerts enhances effectiveness, and the control coverage is reviewed at least annually.

 

The purpose of market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING structure is:

 

·Providing visibility and assurance to all executive levels that the assumption of market risks is in line with ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and the risk-return objective;

 

·Promoting disciplined and educated discussion on the global risk profile and its evolution over time;

 

·Increasing transparency on the way the business seeks to optimize results;

 

·Providing early warning mechanisms in order to make the effective risk management easier, without jeopardizing the business purposes; and

 

·Monitoring and avoiding risk concentration.

 

The market risk control and management process is periodically reviewed with the purpose of keeping the process aligned with best market practices and complies with continuous improvement processes at ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

The market risk is controlled by an area independent from the business units and is responsible for carrying out daily measurement, assessment, monitoring of stress scenarios, limits and alerts, applying stress scenarios, analysis and testing, reporting risk results to those accountable for in the business units, in accordance with the governance established and monitoring the actions required adjust positions and/or risk level to make them feasible. In addition, the area provides support to launch new financial products.

For that purpose, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a structured reporting and information flow with the objective of providing input for the follow-up by corporate bodies and complying with the requirements of Brazilian and foreign regulatory agents.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING hedges transactions with clients and proprietary positions, including foreign investments, aiming at mitigating risks arising from fluctuations in market factors and maintaining the classification the transactions into the current exposure limits. Derivatives are the most frequently used instruments for these hedges. When these transactions are designed for as hedge accounting, specific supporting documentation is prepared, including continuous review of the hedge effectiveness (retrospective and prospective) and other changes in the accounting process. Accounting and managerial hedge are governed by corporate guidelines of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

Hedge accounting is treated in detail in the financial statement notes.

 

The market risk structure categorizes transactions as part of either the banking portfolio or the trading portfolio, in accordance with general criteria established by the National Monetary Council Resolution No. 3,464 and BACEN Circular No. 3,354.

 

The trading portfolio consists of all transactions involving financial instruments and goods, including derivatives, which are carried out with the intention of trading.

 

The banking portfolio is basically characterized by transactions from the banking business and transactions related to the management of the balance sheet of the institution. It has the no-intention of resale and medium-and long-term time horizons as general guidelines.

 

The exposures to market risks inherent in the financial instruments, including derivatives, are broken down into a number of risk factors. Market factors are primary components of pricing. The main risk factors measured by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are:

 

·Interest rates risk: risk of financial losses on operations subject to interest rates variations;

 

·Foreign exchange-linked: the risk of losses arising from positions in transactions which are subject to a foreign exchange-linked interest rate;

 

·Foreign exchange rates: risk of losses in operations subject to foreign exchange variation;

 

·Price index-linked: risk of financial losses on operations subject to changes in price index coupon rates;

 

·Variable income: risk of losses in operations subject to variation in goods prices and commodities.

 

CMN has specific rules establishing that the exposure to market risk must be segregated at the least into the following categories: Interest rates, foreign exchange rates, shares and commodities. Price indexes are treated as a risk factor group and are granted the same treatment given to other risk factors, such as interest rates, and foreign exchange rates, among others, and follow the same limit and risk governance structure adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING for market risk management purposes.

 

Market risk is analyzed based on the following metrics:

 

·Value at risk (VaR): statistical metric that estimates the expected maximum potential economic loss under normal market conditions, taking into consideration a certain time horizon and confidence level;

 

·Losses in stress scenarios (Stress test): simulation technique to assess the behavior of assets, liabilities and derivatives of a portfolio when several risk factors are taken to extreme market situations (based on prospective and historical scenarios) in the portfolio;

 

·Stop loss: metrics which purpose is to review positions, should losses accumulated in a certain period reach a certain amount;

 

·Concentration: cumulative exposure of a certain financial instruments or risk factor calculated at market value (“MtM – Mark to Market”); and

 

·Stressed VaR: statistical metric resulting from the VaR calculation, with the purpose of capturing the highest risk in simulations for the current portfolio, considering the returns that can be observed in historic scenarios of extreme volatility.

 

In addition to the risk measures, sensitivity and loss control measures are also analyzed. They comprise:

 

·Gap analysis: accumulated exposure, by risk factor, of cash flows expressed at market value, allocated at the maturity dates;

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – March 31, 2015151
 

 

·Sensitivity (DV01 – Delta Variation): the impact on the cash flows market value when submitted to an one annual basis point increase in the current interest rates or index rate;

 

·Sensitivity to the Several Risk Factors (Greeks): partial derivatives of an options portfolio in relation to the underlying assets price, implicit volatility, interest rate and timing.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses proprietary systems to measure the consolidated market risk. The processing of these systems principally takes place in São Paulo, in an access-controlled environment, being highly available, which has data safekeeping and recovery processes, and counts on such an infrastructure to ensure the continuity of business in contingency (disaster recovery) situations.

 

VaR - Consolidated ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has recently enhanced its internal VaR calculation methodology, migrating from the Parametric approach to a “Historical Simulation” approach. This new methodology performs a full revaluation of all positions through the actual historical distribution of assets.

 

The Consolidated Total VaR table provides an analysis of the exposure to market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING portfolios, and to its foreign subsidiaries by showing where the largest concentrations of market risk are found. (foreign subsidiaries: Itaú BBA International PLC, Banco Itaú Argentina S.A., Banco Itaú Chile S.A., Banco Itaú Uruguai S.A., Banco Itaú Paraguai S.A. and Itaú BBA Colômbia S.A. – Corporación Financiera).

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING maintaining its conservative management and portfolio diversification, continued with its policy of operating within low limits in relation to its capital in the period.

 

From January 1st to March 31, 2015, the average total VaR in Historical Simulation was R$ 203.7 million, or 0.20% of total stockholders’ equity (throughout 2014 it was R$ 131.9 million or 0.13%).

Interest rate

 

The table on the position of accounts subject to interest rate risk group them by products, book value of accounts distributed by maturity. This table is not used directly to manage interest rate risks; it is mostly used to enable the assessment of mismatching between accounts and products associated thereto and to identify possible risk concentration.

 

The following table sets forth our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and therefore does not reflect interest rate gap positions that may exist as of any given date. In addition, variations in interest rate sensitivity may exist within the repricing periods presented due to differing repricing dates within the period.

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the existence of imbalances between marketable assets and liabilities due – mismatching between payments and receipts - which may affect payment capacity of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, taking into consideration the different currencies and payment terms and their respective rights and obligations.

 

Policies and procedures

 

The management of liquidity risks seeks to guarantee liquidity sufficient to support possible outflows in market stress situations, as well as the compatibility between funding and the terms and liquidity of assets.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a structure dedicated to improve the monitoring, control and analysis, through models of projections of the variables that affect cash flows and the level of reserves in local and foreign currencies.

 

The document that details the guidelines established by the internal policy on liquidity risk management, that is not part of the financial statements, may be viewed on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri, in the section Corporate Governance/Rules and Policies / Public Access Report – Liquidity Risk.

 

The liquidity risk measurement process makes use of corporate and own in-house developed application systems. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING manages proprietary IT systems to support the liquidity risk measurement process.

 

Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING establishes guidelines and limits. Compliance with these guidelines and limits is periodically analyzed in technical committees, and their purpose is to provide an additional safety margin to the minimum projected needs. The liquidity management policies and the respective limits are established based on prospective scenarios periodically reviewed and on the definitions of the top management.

 

These scenarios may be reviewed in view of cash requirements resulting from atypical market situations or arising from strategic decisions of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

In compliance with the requirements of CMN Resolution No. 4,090 of May 24, 2012 and BACEN Circular N° 3,393 of June 3, 2008 , the Statement of Liquidity Risk (DRL) is sent to BACEN on a monthly basis, and the following items for monitoring and supporting decisions are periodically prepared and submitted to top management:

 

·Different scenarios projected for changes in liquidity;
·Contingency plans for crisis situations;
·Reports and charts that describe the risk positions;
·Assessment of funding costs and alternative sources of funding;
·Monitoring of changes in funding through a constant control over sources of funding, considering the type of investor and maturities, among other factors;

 

Primary sources of funding

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has different sources of funding, of which a significant portion is from the retail segment. Total funding from clients reached R$ 545.6 billion (R$ 538.1 billion at 12/31/2014), particularly funding from time deposits. A considerable portion of these funds – 36.5% of total, or R$ 199.2 billion – is available on demand to the client. However, the historical behavior of the accumulated balance of the two largest items in this group – demand and savings deposits - is relatively consistent with the balances increasing over time and inflows exceeding outflows for monthly average amounts.
