38)OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

The Company operates mainly in the banking and insurance segments. Our banking operations include operations in the retail, middle-market and corporate sectors, lease, international bank operations, investment bank operations and as a private bank. The Company also conducts banking segment operations through its branches located throughout the country, in branches abroad and through subsidiaries as well as by means of shareholding interests in other companies. Additionally, we are engaged in insurance, supplemental Pension Plans and capitalization bonds through our subsidiary, Bradesco Seguros S.A. and its subsidiaries.

 

The following segment information was prepared based on reports made available to Management to evaluate performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources for investments and other purposes. Our Management uses accounting information prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to institutions authorized to operate by Central Bank for the purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to the segments and assessing their performance. The information of the segments shown in the following tables considers the specific procedures and other provisions of the Brazilian Financial Institutions Accounting Plan which includes the proportional consolidation of associates and joint ventures and the non-consolidation of exclusive funds.

 

The main assumptions for the segmentation of income and expenses include (i) surplus cash invested by the entities operating in insurance, supplemental pension and capitalization bonds are included in this segment, resulting in an increase in net interest income; (ii) salaries and benefits and administrative costs included in the insurance, supplemental pension and capitalization bonds segment consist only of cost directly related to these operations, and (iii) costs incurred in the banking operations segment related to the infrastructure of the branch network and other general indirect expenses have not been allocated between segments.

 

Our operations are substantially conducted in Brazil. Additionally, we have one branch in New York (USA), one branch in Grand Cayman (UK), and one branch in London (England), mainly to complement our banking services and assist in import and export operations for Brazilian customers. Moreover, we also have subsidiaries abroad, namely: Banco Bradesco Europa S.A. (Luxembourg, LUX), Bradesco Securities, Inc. (New York, USA), Bradesco Securities UK Limited (London, UK), Cidade Capital Markets Ltd. (Grand Cayman, UK), Bradesco Securities Hong Kong Limited (Hong Kong, CHN), Bradesco Trade Services Limited (Hong Kong, CHN), Bradescard Mexico, Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (Mexico City, MEX) and Bradesco Bank (Florida, USA).

 

No revenue from transactions with a single customers or counterparty represented 10% or more of the Company’s revenue for the year ended in 2025 and 2024.

 

All transactions between operating segments are conducted on an arm’s length basis, with intra-segment revenue and costs being eliminated in “Other operations, adjustments and eliminations”. Income and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in determining business-segment performance.
