To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

Opinion

Key Audit Matters

 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

 

Why it is a Key Audit Matter

  How the matter was addressed in the audit
     

Allowance for loan and lease losses (Note 2.3.1.a, 2.4.d.X and 12.b)

 

The calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is a sensitive matter to management’s judgment. The identification of the situations that may compromise the recoverable value of receivables and the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses involve a process with a number of assumptions and factors, including the counterparty’s financial condition, the expected future cash flows, the estimated amounts of recovery and realization of guarantees.

 

The utilization of different modeling techniques and assumptions could result in a materially different estimate of recoverable amounts. Furthermore, managing the credit risk is complex and depends on the completeness and integrity of the related database.

 

The current scenario and the medium-term expectations for the macroeconomic scenario have impacted the default index (receivables overdue for more than 90 days).

 

Guarantees and renegotiations have represented important aspects on determining the allowance for loan and lease losses, during the management of the credit risks.

 

Considering the matters mentioned above, this was an area of focus during the audit.

 

 

 

 

We tested the design and the effectiveness of the main controls used to calculate the allowance for loan and lease losses, including: i) totality and integrity of the database and auxiliary systems; ii) models and assumptions adopted by management to determine the recoverable value of the credit portfolio; iii) monitoring and valuation of guarantees; iv) identification, approval, and monitoring of renegotiated transactions; and v) processes established by management to guarantee application of these assumptions, as well as, the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements.

 

For the individually calculated allowance for loan and lease losses, we tested the relevant assumptions adopted to identify the impairment and the resulting rating of the debtors, as well as the valuation of the expected future cash flows, assessment of the underlying guarantees, and the estimates of recovery of overdue receivables.

 

For the allowance for loan and lease losses calculated on a collective basis (retail banking segment), we tested the underlying models, including the models approval’s process and the validation of the assumptions adopted to determine the estimated losses and recoveries.

 

We tested the adequacy of the inputs for these models, including the recoveries, and, when available, compared the data and assumptions used with market data.

Why it is a Key Audit Matter   How the matter was addressed in the audit

 

    Furthermore, we tested the valuation and existence of guarantees and the adherence of renegotiated operations to the management’s policies.
     
    We consider that the criteria and assumptions adopted by management to determine the allowance for loan and lease losses, as well as the disclosure performed, are fairly presented in all relevant aspects in the financial statements context.

 

Measurement of the fair value of financial instruments and derivatives - level 3 (Notes 2.3.1.c, 2.4.d.IV, V and VI, 7 to 10, and 31)

   
     

The fair value measurement requires subjectivity, considering that it depends on valuation techniques based on internal models that involve management’s assumptions for assessing financial instruments with little liquidity and without an active market. These financial instruments are substantially comprised of investments in securities issued by companies and derivative contracts.

 

This was an area of focus during our audit since the utilization of different valuation techniques and assumptions could lead to materially different fair value estimates. In addition, management of the market risk is complex, especially during periods of high volatility and when observable market prices or parameters are not available.

 

We tested the design and the effectiveness of the main controls established by management related to the fair valuation of these financial instruments, as well as the approval of models and related disclosures.

 

We analyzed the methodology to fair value these financial instruments and the assumptions adopted by management by comparing them with independent methodologies and assumptions. We reperformed, on a sampling basis, the fair valuation of certain operations and compared the assumptions and methodologies used by management with our knowledge about fair valuation practices, which are commonly adopted and evaluated the consistency of these methodologies with the ones applied in prior years.

 

We considered that the criteria and assumptions adopted by management to measure the fair value of these financial instruments and derivatives are appropriate and consistent with the information disclosed in the financial statements.

Why it is a Key Audit Matter   How the matter was addressed in the audit
     

Information technology environment

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries rely on their technology structure to process their operations and prepare their financial statements. Over the last years, significant short and long-term investments have been made in the information technology systems and processes.

 

The technology structure, due to the history of acquisitions and size of the related operations, is comprised of more than one technology environment with different processes and segregated controls.

 

The lack of adequacy of the general controls of the technology environment and of the controls that depend on technology systems may result in the incorrect processing of critical information used to prepare the financial statements. Accordingly, this was an area of focus during the audit.

 

 

 

As part of our audit procedures, with the support of our specialists, we assessed the information technology environment, including the automated controls of the application systems that are significant for the preparation of the financial statements.

 

The procedures we performed comprised the combination of relevant control tests and, when necessary, the tests of compensating controls, as well as the performance of tests related to the information security, including the access management control and the segregation of duties.

 

The information technology environment and controls established by management provided reasonable basis for the audit of the financial statements audit.

 

Deferred tax assets (Notes 2.3.1.b and 27.b.)    
     

The deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences and tax losses carryforward are recorded to the extent that management considers probable that Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries will generate future taxable profits. The projection of the future taxable profits takes into account a number of subjective assumptions established by management.

 

We consider that this area requires audit focus, taking into account that the utilization of different assumptions in the projection of the future taxable profits could materially modify the expected periods for realization of deferred tax assets, thus affecting the accounting records.

 

 

We tested the design and the effectiveness of the main controls established by management to calculate the deferred tax assests and the recording of such credits in accordance with the accounting standards and specific requirements of BACEN, including the necessity of analysis of the perspectives for the realization of these assets, via projections of future taxable profits, for each of the institutions which comprise the Consolidated.

 

We tested the design and the effectiveness of the controls over the respective disclosures, as well as, we compared the critical assumptions used to the projection of the future results with macroeconomic information disclosed by the market and with the historical data in order to support the consistency of these estimates.

 

We considered that management’s assumptions are appropriate and consistent with the information disclosed in the financial statements.

Realization of goodwill (Notes 2.3.2, 2.4.h and 3)

 

The balances of intangible assets are annually tested for impairment. These tests involves estimates and significant judgment, including the identification of cash-generation units. The determination of expected cash flows and the risk-adjusted interest rate for each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units requires the application of judgment as well as estimates by management.

 

We consider that this area requires audit focus, taking into account that it involves the projection of future results for each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units, and that the utilization of different assumptions to project future results may materially modify the perspectives for realization of such assets and result in the accounting of an impairment to the recoverable value, thus affecting the financial statements.

 

 

 

We tested the design and the effectiveness of the main controls established by management, including the totality and integrity of the database and the underlying systems.

 

We analyzed the projections for the determination of impairment of intangible assets as prepared by management to corroborate the reasonableness of these estimates for realization.

 

We considered that the assumptions adopted by management are appropriate and consistent with the information disclosed in the financial statements.

 

 

Provision for contingent liabilities (Notes 2.3.1.e, 2.4.q and 32)    
     

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries have contingent liabilities mainly arising from judicial and administrative proceedings, inherent to the normal course of their business, filed by third parties, former employees, and public agencies, involving civil, labor, tax, and social security matters.

 

In general, the settlement of these proceedings takes a long time and involves not only discussions on the matter itself, but also complex process-related aspects, depending on the applicable legislation.

 

In certain situations, the legislation allows taxpayers to settle certain tax proceedings in advance by decreasing or eliminating related interest rates and fines. Civil and labor legislation also permits that agreements be made to settle proceedings in advance.

 

It should be noted that, among other things, the aspects used to establish the likelihood of a loss attributed to each proceeding are subjective, and the evolution of the jurisprudence is not always uniform.

 

We tested the design and the effectiveness of the main controls used to identify, assess, monitor, measure, record, and disclose the provision for contingent liabilities, including the totality and the integrity of the database, as well as, underlying systems.

 

Civil and labor proceedings are divided on a group basis and on an individualized basis. Proceedings considered under a group basis are quantified based on internal models and are revalued considering the judicial decisions on the related matters. Regarding the individualized proceedings, the calculation is made periodically based on the determination of the amount of the request and on the likelihood of a loss, which is estimated according to the characteristics, in fact or in law, related to each sentence in particular.

 

We tested the models used to quantify judicial proceedings of a civil and labor nature considered on a group basis.

 

We counted on the support of our specialists in the labor, legal, and fiscal areas when assessing the risk of the individualized proceedings, according to the nature of each proceeding.

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

Why it is a Key Audit Matter  

How the matter was addressed in the audit

     

In this context, we consider that this is an area which requires audit focus.

 

 

Also, we performed external confirmation procedures with both internal and external lawyers responsible for the proceedings.

 

We considered that the criteria and assumptions adopted by management for determining the provision for contingent liabilities, as well as the information disclosed in the financial statements, are appropriate.

     
Acquisition of ownership control - CorpBanca (Note 3)    
     

Corpbanca is a commercial bank headquartered in Chile, which also operates in Colombia and Panama, focused on individuals and large and middle-market companies.

 

On April 1, 2016, after approval of shareholders and approval by proper regulatory authorities in Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Panama, Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. acquired the ownership control of Corpbanca Chile and Colombia through its subsidiary in Banco Itaú Chile.

 

We consider that this matter requires a focus due to the level of judgment involved in the identification and determination of fair value of the acquired net assets and assumed liabilities, as well as, due to the complex process of accounting practices reconciliation and integration of the information of the entities involved.

 

Among other procedures, we performed the walkthroughs and tested the processes established by management, including the totality and the integrity of the database, as well as, the calculation templates used to determine the allocation of the purchase price, in addition to the identification and determination of the acquired net assets and assumed liabilities and the goodwill balance, beside the controls related to the harmonization of the accounting practices.

 

We compared the assumptions adopted by management with market practices.

 

We tested the adjustments that could arise from differences in practices and accounting estimates adopted by the entities, as well as we assessed the conformity of the financial statements to the applicable accounting practices.

 

We have not identified aspects that would lead us to consider it necessary to materially adjust the amounts and information disclosed in the financial statements.

Statements of Value Added

 

The consolidated Statements of Value Added for the year ended December 31, 2016, prepared under the responsibility of the Consolidated’s management and presented as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, were submitted to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Consolidated financial statements. For the purposes of forming our opinion, we evaluated whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09, “Statement of Value Added”. In our opinion, these Statements of Value Added have been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in the Technical Pronouncement and are consistent with the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

 

Other information accompanying the financial statements and the auditor’s report

 

The management of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries is responsible for the other information which comprise the Management Report.

 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report, and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement in the Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Consolidated ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Consolidated or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance in the Bank and its subsidiaries are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that the audit conducted in accordance with the Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that significant uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 20169

 

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance (Audit Committee and Management) regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2) ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

2.1) Domestic Scenario

 

In the domestic scenario, GDP continued to fall from January to September 2016, posting a 4.0% drop compared to the previous year. The unemployment rate grew to 11.9% in November 2016 from 9.0% in November 2015. The primary deficit for the year reached 1.3% of GDP in November 2016, compared to a 0.6% deficit of GDP in the same period of 2015.

 

The current account deficit continues to fall due to a downturn in the economic activity. The deficit in external accounts dropped to 1.1% of GDP in November 2016 from 3.3% in 2015. The inflation rate for 2016 was 6.3%. The Central Bank of Brazil reduced interest to 13.0% in January 2017.

 

The US dollar closed 2016 at R$3.25, below R$3.96 recorded in December 2015. Brazil’s international reserves amounted to US$370 billion.

 

2.2) Latin America Scenario (ex-Brazil)

 

In Latin America, commodities-exporting countries continue to grow less as compared with the previous decade. Lower prices of commodities negatively affected investments, confidence and domestic income. The downturn in economic activity and the reduced fiscal revenues related to lower prices of commodities is also causing governments of the region to cut costs and adopt measures to raise revenues, thus seeking to preserve sovereign ratings.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201611

 

 

Inflation has been falling in many South America countries, therefore making room for cuts in interest rates. Lower interest rates in Colombia, Argentina, and Chile are expected for 2017.

 

In Argentina, adjustments to relative prices led to GDP falling in 2016 (estimated at -2.4%) and high inflation (41%). In Uruguay, the economic activity strongly slowed down in 2015 and 2016, partially due to recession scenarios in Brazil and Argentina. Paraguay’s macroeconomic fundamentals remain solid, with low inflation, strong growth and well-organized public finance. The Chilean economy was impacted by the end of the commodities cycle, which resulted in lower fiscal revenues, fall in investments and decreased national revenues. The Colombian authorities approved a structural tax reform aimed at making up for the loss of oil-related revenues. In 2016, GDP raised 1.8% and inflation reached 5.8%.

 

2.3) International Scenario

 

The U.S. labor market continued to grow strong in 2016, with 2.2 million jobs created. Unemployment rate dropped to 4.7% in December 2016 from 5.0% at the end of 2015. This improvement came along with a 1.5% growth in GDP in the nine-month period to September, when compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

For comparison purposes, GDP of the Euro zone and Japan increased 1.6% and 0.8%, respectively. China’s GDP kept a 6.7% growth compared with the three quarters of 2016 already disclosed, thus halting the economy slowdown recorded in the previous year. This stabilization in growth gives rise to an environment favorable for emerging commodity-exporting economies, including Latin America countries.

 

3) HIGHLIGHTS

 

3.1) Corporate Events

 

Changes to Management – On November 9, the bank disclosed the succession of the current CEO, according to the transition process planned and announced to the market over two years ago. We also announced a series of changes to our Executive Committee. For more information see item 3.3 Corporate Governance.

 

10% Share Bonus of Itaú UnibancoFor the fourth consecutive year, we granted our stockholders a 10% bonus in shares. Therefore, in October 2016, our stockholders were granted one new share for each ten shares of the same type held. The unit cost of R$20.05 was assigned to these shares, impacting the average price for our stockholders.

 

If we considered only the share bonus for the last four years, in view of the monthly dividend kept at R$0.015 per share, there would be a 46% increase in the amounts monthly granted to stockholders.

 

Share Buyback ProgramIn 2016, we acquired 31,439,000 non-voting shares1 of own issue in the amount of R$947.4 million at the average price of R$30.13 per share2.

 

The share buyback process is aimed at (i) maximizing the capital allocation through the efficient application of available funds, (ii) arranging for the delivery of shares to the employees and management members of the Company and its subsidiaries under the scope of remuneration models and long-term incentive plans and (iii) using the shares acquired if business opportunities arise in the future.

1 Prices adjusted by the October 2016 bonus of 10%.

2 Buyback amounts include settlement and brokerage fees. For further information on the volumes traded and prices in these trading, access www.itau.com.br/investor-relations> Corporate Governance > Trading of Own Shares or or refer to note 21. The prices are also adjusted by the October 2016 bonus of 10%.

 

Cancellation of Treasury SharesIn June 2016, after obtaining regulatory approvals, we cancelled 100 million non-voting treasury shares of own issue, with no capital stock change.

 

The acquisition of own issued shares, with their subsequent cancellation increases the stockholder’s interest percentage in the Company’s capital and, should the financial result and the distribution of earnings percentage be maintained, it will enable a higher return on dividends and interest on capital for the remaining shareholders.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201612

 

 

The balance of treasury shares reached 69,604,462 non-voting shares in December 2016, equivalent to 2.2% of the free float of the same type. Additionally, in January 2017, 6.35 million non-voting shares were repurchased.

 

3.2) Mergers and Acquisitions

 

Control Acquisition – Recovery – In March 2016, after obtaining regulatory authorization and meeting suspension conditions, we closed the acquisition of 89.08% interest in the capital stock of Recovery do Brasil Consultoria S.A., of which 81.94% from Banco BTG Pactual S.A. (BTG) and 7.14% from other shareholders, and approximately 70% of a portfolio of R$38 billion in credit rights held by BTG.

 

Itaú CorpBanca – In April 2016, we closed the merger of operations of Banco Itaú Chile with CorpBanca, and now hold the control of the resulting entity – Itaú CorpBanca – with a 33.58% stake in its capital stock. On that same date, we entered into the Shareholders' Agreement of Itaú CorpBanca, which entitle us the right to appoint, together with Corp Group1, the majority of the members of Itaú CorpBanca’s Board of Directors. These members are appointed according to the ownership interest of each party, and we have the right to elect the majority of the members elected by this block.

 

With the consolidation of this operation, we now rank 4th, from a 7th place, in the ranking of the largest private banks in Chile in loans, and have entered into the Colombian financial retail market through Banco CorpBanca Colômbia S.A., the 5th largest bank in Colombia in loans, which will also operate under the “Itaú” brand.

 

On April 1, 2016, Itaú CorpBanca started to be consolidated in the financial statements of Itaú Unibanco, and added approximately R$114 billion of assets to the balance sheet.

 

In October 2016, we acquired 10.9 billion shares of Itaú CorpBanca for approximately R$288.1 million, this being set forth in the shareholders’ agreement of Itaú CorpBanca entered into between Itaú Unibanco and Corp Group on April 1, 2016. Therefore, the Itaú Unibanco’s interest ownership in Itaú CorpBanca reached 35.71%, from 33.58%, without changing the governance of Itaú CorpBanca.

1 Corp Group is a holding company controlled by the Saieh family, which holds investments in different sectors, such as financial, retail, real estate, hotel and media.

 

Group Life Insurance – In September 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our group life insurance operations with Prudential do Brasil.

 

The transfer of shares and the financial settlement of this operation will take place after compliance with certain conditions provided for in the agreement, including obtaining required regulatory authorizations.

 

The sale of this operation reinforces our already-disclosed strategy of focusing on mass-market insurance products typically related to the retail banking segment.

 

Citibank – In October 2016, we entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement with Citibank for the acquisition of its retail business in Brazil, including loans, deposits, credit cards, branches, asset management and insurance brokerage, as well as of the equity investments held by Citibank in TECBAN – Tecnologia Bancária S.A. and in CIBRASEC – Companhia Brasileira de Securitização.

 

Citibank’s retail business in Brazil (with 71 branches) includes a client base of 315,000 current account holders, R$35 billion in deposits and assets under management (gross amounts at December 31, 2015), 1.1 million credit cards and a loan portfolio worth R$6 billion.

 

The completion of this transaction is subject to compliance with some conditions precedent, including obtaining approvals from the Central Bank of Brazil and CADE, the Brazilian antitrust agency.

 

Banco Itaú BMG Consignado – In December 2016, after obtaining the required regulatory authorizations and meeting conditions precedent, we completed the acquisition of the total equity investment held by Banco BMG in Banco Itaú BMG Consignado. This investment corresponds to 40% of the capital of Banco Itaú BMG Consignado, meaning that we are now the holders of 100% of this institution’s total capital. The amount paid was R$1.46 billion.

 

We kept the leadership among private banks in this segment1. At December 31, 2016, our portfolio amounted to R$44.6 billion, including Itaú BMG Consignado’s operations.

3.3) Corporate Governance

 

The Corporate Governance in Itaú Unibanco is aimed at creating an efficient set of mechanisms, incentives and monitoring tools, to ensure that the company’s management is always in line with our stockholders’ interests, thus generating value in the long term.

 

This is carried out by way of bodies and authority levels that efficiently share and deploy the decision-making process throughout the organization. Accordingly, we have implemented a number of procedures to ensure the executive group’s commitment to the creation of value through a meritocracy and performance-focused culture.

 

Elected by the General Meeting, our Board of Directors currently has 12 members, of whom 5 are independent (42%), and all of them hold a one-year term of office. We have 8 committees reporting to the Board of Directors, as follows: Audit, International Advisory Council, Strategy, Risk and Capital Management, Nomination and Corporate Governance, Related Parties, Personnel and Compensation.

 

At our Stockholders’ Meeting held in September 2016, we made available the remote voting system to our stockholders, in advance to the CVM requirement.

 

Our governance practices have been acknowledged and, as a result, our shares make up the ISE - Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) of BM&FBOVESPA since it was created in 2005, and of the portfolio of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index since it was created in 1999.

 

This and other information on our corporate governance structure is available at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations/corporate-governance.

 

We believe that a solid governance structure, ensuring meritocracy and being designed towards the creation of long-term value, ensures the ongoing performance of Itaú Unibanco.

3.4) Technology

 

The development of digital trends have been exponential. New ways to do business, consume and explore contents come up at every moment, and in the meanwhile people are increasingly willing to experiment the world in new ways through technology. Recognizing that our clients’ needs now change faster and faster, with this in mind we are alert to those technologies with the greatest potential to transform the three levels of clients’ interaction with the bank, as follows: experience, processing, and infrastructure.

 

Blockchain – We lead the discussion on blockchain technology in the Latin American financial segment. We firmly believe that this technology may provide solutions that bring more efficiency to our business and better experiences to our clients. In April 2016, we were the first Latin America company to join the R3 consortium, an international innovation startup gathering over 70 among the world’s largest financial institutions, contributing to international efforts to develop and implement innovative market solutions based on shared ledger technologies, having Blockchain as its basis. We have improved our technical knowledge and analyzed how Blockchain technology may change the financial sector in connection with business models.

 

CuboThis non-profit initiative, consisting of a great technology entrepreneurship development center that offers space for co-working, education and networking activities, has been a significant ally of ours, since it enables us to be close to and learn with cutting-edge technology and working models. In October 2016, Cubo celebrated its one year anniversary. During this period, Cubo has promoted relationships that were essential to leverage business, ideas and initiatives for a new generation of entrepreneurs and digital startups. Noteworthy are the following:

 

There are 54 resident startups in place, which have already generated 650 jobs, and over 40 projects between the startups and Itaú Unibanco are in progress to promote innovation in processes, products, services, and working models;
Every day over 500 people come and go through this place, which has held over 780 events and been visited by over 30 thousand people since September 2015;
Between 2015 and 2016, Cubo startups were granted overall approximately R$104.0 million in investments by companies that believe in their business models;
Over 4,000 Itaú Unibanco’s employees have taken part in Cubo’s activities, including tens of employees from our foreign units.

 

In 2016, 73% of our banking transactions were carried out through our digital channels, which accounted for 10.9 billion transactions, up 21% from the previous year.

 

3.5) Risk Management

 

Itaú Unibanco regards risk and capital management as an essential tool for optimizing the use of resources and selecting the best business opportunities to maximize the creation of value to stockholders. Risk management in Itaú Unibanco is the process in which:

 

Existing and potential risks in Itaú Unibanco’s operations are identified and measured;
Institutional regulations, procedures and methodologies for risk management and control consistent with the Board of Directors’ guidelines and Itaú Unibanco’s strategies are approved;
The Itaú Unibanco’s portfolio is managed taking into account the best risk-return ratio.

 

Risk management processes are spread throughout the institution, aligned with the guidelines of the Board of Directors and Executives that, through corporate bodies, define the global objectives that are measured as goals and limits to the risk management business units.

 

Risk Culture – Started in 2009, it derives from Itaú Unibanco’s corporate culture, composed of principles and values. Since 2013 we have held wide internal debates on risk management and established four pillars of performance:

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201615

 

 

We assume risks on an informed basis;
We discuss our risks;
We act on our risks;
We all are risk managers.

 

Therefore, we work to build up a new mindset, in which we understand that: risks are inherent in our business, and we openly and constructively discuss our risks; risk management is a matter of attitude, and we assume individual and jointly responsibility for our risks.

 

Operational Risk and Internal ControlsThe integrated management of operational risk, internal controls and compliance is in conformity with the internal policy approved by the Board of Directors, and is based on 3 defense lines:

 

1st line: Represented by business and back-office corporate areas, it is responsible for identifying, measuring, assessing and managing operational risk events, as well as keeping an effective control environment (including the compliance with internal and external rules).
2nd line: represented by the internal control/independent validation department, it is responsible for, among others, disclosing and ensuring the applicability of decisions, policies and strategies for operational risk management, as well as for independently validating policies and processes.
3rd line: Represented by the Internal Audit department, it is responsible for, among others, independently and periodically checking the adequacy of risk management and identification processes and procedures.

 

Adhering to the best practices of the Basel Accord, we carry out an independent validation of risk processes and models. This activity is carried out by the Executive Office of Internal Controls and Compliance (DECIC), which ensures the independence of assessments, since it is segregated from the risk control and business areas.

 

Anti-Money Laundering and Illegal Actions Regulations – Financial institutions perform a key role in the prevention and fight against illegal actions, among which are money laundering, terrorism financing, and frauds. The major challenge is to identify and crack down on increasingly sophisticated operations that try to mask the origin, title and movement of goods and funds arising from illegal activities. We have established a corporate policy to prevent our involvement in illegal activities, protect our reputation and image with employees, clients, strategic partners, suppliers, service providers, regulators and society, by means of a governance structure focused on transparency, the strict compliance with rules and regulations, and cooperation with police and legal authorities. We also seek to continually align with the best national and international practices for prevention and fight against illegal actions, through investments and the continuous qualification of our employees.

 

To be in conformity with corporate policy guidelines, we have established a program to prevent and fight against illegal acts, based on the following pillars:

 

Client identification process;
Know your Client (KYC) process;
Know your Partner (KYP) process;
Know your Supplier (KYS) process;
Know your Employee (KYE) process;
Assessment of new products and services;
Monitoring of transactions;
Reporting suspicious transactions to regulatory bodies; and
Training activities.

 

This program is applicable to our entire conglomerate, including subsidiaries and affiliates in Brazil and abroad. Governance on prevention and fight against illegal acts is carried out by the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Compliance and Operational Risk Committee, Internal Operational Risk Committee, and Money Laundering Prevention Committee.

 

Information SecurityThe Information Security department is responsible for providing structured and consolidated information on the main information security risks in the organization’s different levels, seeking to reduce financial losses and mitigate the risk to our image in Brazil and abroad by defining policies, processes and procedures that support the entire information chain.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201616

 

 

We monitor and handle any types of security attack and incidents quickly and efficiently, by managing all security tools with a certified team specialized in diversified technologies. We efficiently manage the access to systems and resources, by monitoring any required activities to keep the safety in consultations of systems and information.

 

We work together with the business and technology areas to keep the framework of solutions and products at the highest security level.

 

We are certified in the public pages of website www.Itau.com.br under the Brazilian standard NBR ISO/IEC 27001, aiming at ensuring protection and privacy of the information provided by clients and other sources, with the sole and exclusive purposes of meeting the targets established in interactive products and services.

4.3) Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Operations & Services

 

We permanently seek to implement and focus on offering new products and services that add value to our clients and diversify our sources of income, thus providing the increase of our non-loan credit revenues, mainly arising from the provision of mass-market products and services related to insurance, pension plan and capitalization. We believe that this business model creates opportunities to improve our relationship with clients and, with the share of products less impacted by economic cycles, contributes to the lower volatility of our results.

 

In May 2016, we were granted the “Prêmio Consumidor Moderno de Excelência em Serviços ao Cliente” (modern consumer – excellence in services to clients) awards, promoted by Consumidor Moderno magazine and CIP, the Standard Intelligence Center, in the Banks and Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization categories. This award is granted as a recognition by the client relationship sector in Brazil.

 

We present below the main services offered, highlighting the performance in 2016.

 

Insurance1

 

We continue to concentrate efforts on distribution through proprietary channels. As stated in item “3 - Highlights”, we sold our group life insurance business operation distributed primarily by brokers, reinforcing Itaú Unibanco’s already-disclosed strategy to focus on mass-market insurance products, typically related to the retail banking sector.

 

Net income posted a 7.4% decrease from January to December 2016 compared to the same period of the previous year, due to the lower earned premiums and to a higher social contribution tax on net income (CSLL) rate, partially offset by a decrease in costs and an increase in the financial result.

 

Net income from our core insurance activities2 decreased 10.4% from January to December 2016 compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to lower earned premiums of the companies’ portfolio and insurance linked to credit, and to the higher CSLL rate.

 

Earned premiums dropped 13.5% compared to January to December 2015, and reached R$5.0 billion in the period, mainly due to the early termination of the extended warranty agreement between Itaú Seguros S.A. and Via Varejo in the third quarter of 20143. Retained claims totaled R$1.4 billion from January to December 2016, down 8.3% from the same period in 2015.

 

Loss ratio was 28.8% from January to December 2016, a 160 basis-point increase from the same period of the previous year, mainly driven by the decrease in the extended warranty portfolio, which reflects the early termination mentioned above. The combined ratio in the period was 65.4%, a 690 basis-point decrease from the same period of the previous year. Technical provisions for insurance totaled R$4.1 billion at December 31, 2016.

 

Between January and December 2016, the amount of total sales to account holders fell 19.5% from the same period of the previous year, impacted by the economic scenario.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201621

 

 

Sales to clients of Digital Branches accounted for 10.1% of total sales of insurance products to account holders from January to December 2016, a 650 basis-point increase from the same period of 2015.

Pension Plan

 

We focus on mass-market products, operating based on the bancassurance model, on which products are offered in synergy through the bank’s diversified channels, such as the retail (branch network) and wholesale channels. Product innovation has played a significant role in the sustainable growth of our pension plan operations for individuals. For Companies, we offer specialized advisory services and develop customized solutions for each company. We establish long-term partnerships with our corporate clients, keeping a close relationship with their Human Resources areas and adopting a communication strategy designed for the financial education of their employees.

 

In November 2016, according to the National Federation of Private Pension Funds and Life Insurance (FENAPREVI), our market share of total technical provisions was 22.9%, whereas the individual plans accounted for 23.6%.

 

Total gross funding from pension plans totaled R$23.4 billion up to December 2016, up 12.1% from the same period of the previous year.

 

Capitalization

 

In capitalization, we reached 13.4 million certificates in force at December 31, 2016. The technical provisions for capitalization reached R$3.1 billion at December 31, 2016 and, collection with capitalization certificates reached R$2.9 billion from January to December 2016, up 5.6 % from the same period of the previous year.

 

Sales to clients of Digital Branches accounted for 8.3% of total sales of insurance products to account holders from January to December 2016, a 600 basis-point increase from the same period of the previous year.

 

Investment Banking

 

We highlight that, from January to December 2016, our Merger and Acquisition operation provided financial advisory on 46 transactions in Latin America, totaling US$33.7 billion and topping the Dealogic ranking.

 

In local fixed income, we took part in debentures, promissory notes and securitization transactions, which totaled R$9.0 billion from January to November 2016.

 

To serve international clients, we rely on units in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Arab Emirates, the United States, Hong Kong, Mexico, United Kingdom and Peru, with a representation office in the latter.

 

In this period, we were granted the “Most Creative Investment Bank – Global Winner”, “Best Investment Bank – Latin America” and “Best M&A Bank – Latin America”, promoted by Global Finance magazine. We were also the number one in the best sell-side analysts of Latin America ranking, promoted by Institutional Investor with a survey with over 900 buy-side analysts and managers of approximately 450 institutions.

 

Cash Management

 

At the end of September, Euromoney, one of the leading financial magazines, disclosed the result of its annual survey and Itaú Unibanco was named for the 9th consecutive year the Best Bank in Cash Management in Brazil. This award is to recognize the financial institutions able to provide a diverse range of products and services to meet clients’ needs.

Capital

 

We adopt a prospective posture in the management of our capital observing the following stages: identification of material risks and determination of the need of additional capital for these risks; preparation of the capital planning, both in situations of normality and of stress; structuring of the capital contingency plan; internal assessment of capital adequacy; and preparation of managerial reports.

 

In order to ensure our strength and capital availability to support business growth, regulatory capital levels were kept above the requirements of the Central Bank of Brazil (Prudential Consolidated1), as evidenced by the Basel Ratio and Principal Capital, Tier I (see the report “Risk and Capital Management – Pillar 3” on our website www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Corporate Governance).

 

At the end of December 2016, the Basel Ratio was 19.1%, of which: (i) 15.9% related to Tier I Capital, which is composed of the sum of Principal Capital and Complementary Capital; (ii) 3.2% related to Tier II Capital. These indicators provide evidence of our effective loss-absorbing capacity.

 

The amount of our subordinated debt, which is part of our Tier II regulatory capital, reached R$23.5 billion at December 31, 2016.

Note 2 – Significant accounting policies

 

2.1.Basis of preparation

 

These Consolidated Financial Statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING were prepared taking into account the requirements and guidelines set out by the National Monetary Council (CMN), which established that as from December 31, 2010 annual Consolidated Financial Statements are to be prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

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).

 

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows shows the changes in cash and cash equivalents during the period, arising from operating, investing, and financing activities, and include highly-liquid 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.

 

Management believes that the information included in these Consolidated Financial Statements is relevant and a faithful representation of the information used in the management of the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

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

 

a)Accounting standards applicable for period ended December 31, 2016

 

·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. No material impacts arising from this change on the consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING were identified.

 

·Amendment to IFRS 11 – “Joint Arrangement” – The change establishes criteria for recognition of acquisition of joint operations, which activity constitutes one business, according to the methodology established in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. Effective for the years beginning on January 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted by IASB. Impacts of this change will occur only if there is an acquisition of a joint operation that constitutes a business.

 

·Amendment to IAS 16 – “Property, Plant and Equipment” and IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” – The amendment clarifies the base principle for depreciation and amortization as being the expected standard of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted by IASB. No material impacts arising from this amendment were identified for the consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

·Amendment to IAS 1 – “Presentation of Financial Statements” – The amendments are aimed at encouraging companies to identify which information is sufficiently material to be disclosed in the financial statements. It also clarifies that materiality is applicable to the full set of financial statements, including the notes to the financial statements, and it is applicable to any and all disclosure requirements of the IFRS standards. Effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2016. Main effects identified are related to the disclosure of accounting policies and judgment of materiality in the notes to the financial statements.

 

·Amendments to IAS 28, IFRS 10 and IFRS 12: “Investment Entities: Applying Consolidation Exception”: This document comprises guidance for applying the Investment Entities concept. Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016. No material impacts arising from this change on the consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING were identified.

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 – This standard replaces IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 applies to financial instruments and will be adopted retrospectively at its effective date, on January 1, 2018. This standard is structured to cover the pillars (I) classification and measurement of financial assets (II) impairment, and (III) hedge accounting. Among the amendments, the items below may have the most significant impacts:

 

(I)Classification and measurement of financial assets: the classification of financial assets should depend on two criteria: the entity´s business model for managing its financial assets and the characteristics of the contractual cash flow of financial assets.
(II)Impairment: The new standards introduced the expected loss approach and classification into three phases.
(III)Hedge accounting: The hedge accounting requirements are closed aligned with risk management and should be applied on a prospective basis.

 

IFRS 9 is in process of implementation by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, and an evaluation of the possible impacts resulting from the adoption of this standard has been conducted and will be completed through its effective date. The adoption of the expected loss in relation to the incurred loss approach is likely to require an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses since the recognition of losses will be anticipated. The finance, risks, and technology departments as well as Management are involved in the implementation process.

 

·IFRS 15 – “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” – The pronouncement replaces IAS 18 and IAS 11, as well as interpretations related thereto (IFRICs 13, 15 and 18). It requires that revenue is recognized in a way that shows the transfer of assets or services to the client for an amount that reflects the company’s expectation of having in consideration the rights to these assets or services. ITAU UNIBANCO HOLDING will adopt IFRS 15 retrospectively only for contracts with remaining obligations until the date this standard comes into effect. Other effects should be adjusted with a counter-entry to Retained Earnings (Losses). This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. No material impacts arising from the adoption of this standard were identified.

 

·IFRS 16 – “Leases” – The pronouncement replaces IAS 17 - Leases, and related interpretations (IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27). It eliminates the accounting for operating lease agreements for the lessee, presenting only one lease model, that consists of: (a) recognizing leases which terms exceeds 12 months and with substantial amounts; (b) initially recognizing lease in assets and liabilities at present value; and (c) recognizing depreciation and interest from lease separately in the result. For the lessor, accounting will continue to be segregated between operating and financial lease. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019. Possible impacts arising from the adoption of this standard are being assessed and will be completed by the date this standard is effective.

 

·Amendment to IFRS 10 – “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 – “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” – The amendments refer to an inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 requirements, when addressing the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The effective date has not been defined by IASB yet. No material impacts arising from this change on the consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING were identified.

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.

 

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 the cash flows received in relation to those expected from the counterparty or the existence of a change in local or international economic conditions that correlates with 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 2.4d X). 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.

 

Methodology and assumptions used by Management are detailed in Note 2.4d X. Allowance for loan losses is detailed in Note 12b.

 

b)Deferred income tax and social contribution

 

As explained in Note 2.4k, Deferred tax assets are recognized only in relation to temporary differences and tax assets and loss for offset to the extent it is probable that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING will generate future taxable profit for its use. The expected realization of deferred tax assets is based on the projection of future taxable profits and technical studies, as disclosed in Note 27.

 

c)Fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives

 

The fair value of financial instruments is measured recurrently, in conformity with the requirements of IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives that are not traded in active markets, is determined by using valuation techniques. This calculation is based on assumptions that take into consideration Management’s judgment based on market information and conditions in place at the balance sheet date.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING ranks fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in the measurement process.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201643

 

 

The fair value of financial instruments, including Derivatives, as well as the fair value hierarchy, are 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

 

The current amount of pension plan obligations is obtained from actuarial calculations that use a set 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.

 

The main assumptions on Pension plan obligations are based on, in part, 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.

 

Provisions, contingencies and other commitments are detailed in Note 32.

 

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. Semi-annually submitted to the impairment test and, at December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 – “Separate Financial Statements”, and its special purpose entities, in accordance with SIC 12 – “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities”, in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective 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 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 of consolidation in accordance with IFRS 10 were different from those in accordance with IAS 27 and SIC 12. The application of the standard did not have significant impacts.

II.Business combinations

 

Accounting for business combinations under IFRS 3 is only applicable when a business is acquired. Under IFRS 3, 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 2.4h. 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 Brazilian 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.

 

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.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201647

 

 

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)Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

In accordance with IAS 39, all financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, should be recognized in the Balance Sheet, and measured in accordance with the category in which the instrument was classified.

 

Financial assets and liabilities may be classified as follows:

 

Categories   Recognition and Measurement
·     Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – held for trading  

·     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 Net gain (loss) from investments in securities and derivatives.

·     Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – designated at fair value  
·     Available-for-sale financial assets (*)  

·     Initially and subsequently recognized 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.

·     Held-to-maturity financial assets (*)  

·     Initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs;

·     Subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.

·     Loans and receivables  
·     Financial liabilities at amortized cost  

(*)Interest, including the amortization of premiums and discounts, is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of income under Interest and similar income.

 

The classification of financial assets and liabilities 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.

 

Effective interest rate when calculating the effective interest rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates cash flows including all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but does not include future credit losses. The calculation includes all commissions paid or received between parties to the contract, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.

 

Interest and similar income and expense are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, in Interest and similar income and Interest and similar expense, respectively.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies as loans and receivables and financial liabilities at amortized cost the following Balance Sheet headings:

 

Loans and receivables   Financial liabilities at amortized cost

·   Central Bank compulsory deposits (Note 2.4dl and Note 5);

·   Interbank deposits (Note 6);

·   Securities purchased under agreements to resell (Note 2.4dll and Note 6);

·   Loan operations (Note 2.4dVIII and Note 12); and

·   Other financial assets (Note 20a).

 

·   Deposits (Note 17);

·   Securities sold under repurchase agreements (Note 2.4dll and Note 19a);

·   Funds from interbank markets (Note 19a);

·   Funds from institutional markets (Note 19b);

·   Liabilities for capitalization plans; and

·   Other financial liabilities (Note 20b).

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201648

 

 

 

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

 

Financial assets are derecognized when rights to receive cash flows expire or when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership, and such transfer qualifies for write-off in accordance with IAS 39 requirements.

 

Otherwise, control should be assessed to determine whether the continuous involvement related to any retained control does not prevent write-off. Financial liabilities are derecognized when settled 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 intention to settle them on a net basis, or simultaneously realize the asset and settle the liability.

 

I.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.

 

II.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 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.

 

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.

 

III-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 trading transactions.

 

IV-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). In accordance with IAS 39, the fair value option can only be applied if it reduces or eliminates accounting mismatches in income or 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 debt instruments and embedded derivatives that should otherwise be separated.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201649

 

 

V-Derivatives

 

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) on investment securities and derivatives.

 

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:

 

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.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201650

 

 

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.

 

VI-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.

 

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) on Investments in Securities and Derivatives – 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.

 

VII-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.

 

Both impairment of held-to-maturity financial assets and reversal of this loss are recorded, when applicable, in the Consolidated statement of income.

 

VIII-Loan operations

 

TAÚ 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. In this case, accrual of interest is no longer recognized.

 

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 – December 31, 201651

 

 

Both the credit risk and the finance areas are responsible for defining the methodologies used to measure the allowance for loan losses and for assessing changes in the provision amounts on a recurring basis.

 

These areas monitor the trends observed in allowance for loan losses by 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.

 

IX- 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.

 

X-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.

·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.

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).

 

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 inside and outside Brazil.

 

·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.

 

e)Investments in associates and joint ventures

 

I – Associates

 

In conformity with IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, associates are companies in which the investor has a significant influence but does not hold control. 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 proportionally consolidated its interest held in joint ventures, as required by IAS 31 – Interests in Joint Ventures. From that date on, it adopted IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements, changing its accounting policy from interest in joint arrangements to the equity method.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has assessed the nature of its joint business 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 on 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.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201655

 

 

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.

 

f)Lease commitments (as lessee)

 

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

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING leases certain fixed assets, and those substantially holding the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership are classified as finance leases.

 

Each lease installment paid is allocated part to liabilities and part to financial charges, so that a constant rate is obtained for the outstanding debt balance. Corresponding obligations, net of future financial charges, are included in Other financial liabilities. Interest expenses are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income over the lease term, to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining liabilities balance for each period.

 

Expenses related to 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.

 

g)Fixed assets

 

In accordance with IAS 16 – Property, plant and equipment, fixed assets are recognized at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation, which is calculated using the straight-line method and rates based on the estimated useful lives of these assets. These rates and additional details 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.

 

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

 

h)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 semi-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.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201656

 

 

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.

 

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).

 

i)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.

 

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

 

The breakdown of intangible assets is described in Note 16.

 

j)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.

 

k)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 – income tax and Social contribution – current, respectively.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201657

 

 

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 offsetting. 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:

 

   12/31/2016 
Income tax   15.00%
Additional income tax   10.00%
Social contribution (*)   20.00%

(*) On october 06, 2015, Law No. 13,169, a conversion of Provisional Measure No. 675, which increased the Social Contribution tax rate from 15.00% to 20.00% until december 31, 2018, for financial institutions, insurance companies and credit card management companies, was introduced. For the other companies, the tax rate remains at 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%.

 

l)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. 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.

 

At the time of the first-time adoption of IFRS, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING decided not to change its accounting policies for insurance contracts, which follow the accounting practices generally accepted in Brazil (“BRGAAP”).

 

Although investment agreements with discretionary participation characteristics are financial instruments, they are treated as insurance contracts, as established by IFRS 4, as well as those transferring a significant financial risk.

 

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

 

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.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201658

 

 

Private pension plans

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

Should the analysis show insufficiency, any deficiency identified will be immediately accounted for in income for the period.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201659

 

 

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

 

m)Capitalization plans

 

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.

 

n)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.

 

Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING also sponsors Defined Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Plans, accounted for in accordance with IAS 19 (R1) – “Employee benefits”.

 

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 defined benefit obligations at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The present value of defined benefit obligations is determined by discounting the estimated amount of future cash flows of benefit payments based on Brazilian government securities denominated in Reais and with maturity periods similar to the term of the pension plan liabilities. They 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 arising from the non-adoption of the assumptions established in the latest evaluation, as compared to those effectively carried out or changes in such assumptions, 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.

 

These obligations are assessed annually by independent and qualified actuaries, and costs expected from these benefits are accumulated during the employment period and gains and losses arising from adjustments of practices and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in Stockholders’ equity, under Other comprehensive income, in the period they occurred.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201660

 

 

o)Share-based payment

 

Share-based payment 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.

 

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.

 

p)Financial guarantees

 

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.

 

q)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 Management’s best estimates, and are classified as:

 

·Probable: in which liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet under Provisions.

·Possible: which are disclosed in the Consolidated 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 – December 31, 201661

 

 

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.

 

r)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.

 

s)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 share-based payment, 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.

 

t)Dividends and interest on capital

 

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 a liability when approved by stockholders at a Stockholders´ Meeting.

 

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.

 

Dividends and interest on capital are presented in Note 21.

 

u)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.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING grants stock-based compensation whose dilutive effect is reflected in diluted earnings per share, with the application of the “treasury stock method“. Under the treasury stock method, earnings per share are calculated as if shares under stock-based compensation plans had been issued and as if the assumed proceeds were used to purchase shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

Earnings per share are presented in Note 28.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201662

 

 

v)Revenue from services

 

Services related to current accounts are offered to clients either in formal packages or individually, and their income is recognized when these services are provided.

 

Revenue from certain services, such as fees from funds management, performance, collection for retail clients and custody, is recognized over the life of the related contracts on a straight-line basis.

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. The seller of the hedge receives a premium for the hedge, but, on the other hand, assumes the risk that the underlying asset referenced in the contract undergoes a credit event, and the seller would have to make the payment to the purchaser of the hedge, which could be the notional amount of the credit derivative.

 

The total value of margins pledged in guarantee by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING was R$ 12,246 (R$ 7,757 at 12/31/2015) and was basically comprised of government securities.

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.

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.

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

 

There are three types of hedge relations: Fair value hedge, Cash flow hedge, and Hedge of net investment in foreign operations.

 

a)Cash flow hedge

 

To hedge the variation of future cash flows of interest payment and receipts and exposure to futures interest rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses futures contracts traded at BM&FBOVESPA and Chicago Stock Exchange, related to certain fixed assets and liabilities, denominated in Brazilian Reais and US Dollars, futures Euro-Dollar and interest rate swaps, related to redeemable preferred shares, denominated in US Dollars, issued by one of our subsidiaries, DDI Futures contracts, traded on BM&FBOVESPA, related to highly probable forecast transactions denominated in US Dollars and NDF (Non Deliverable Forward) and currency swap, contracts traded in the over-the-counter market, related to highly probable forecast transactions not accounted for.

 

Under a DI Futures contract, a net payment (receipt) is made for the difference between an amount multiplied by the CDI rate and an amount computed and multiplied by a fixed rate. Under an interest rate swap, currency and futures Euro-Dollar, a net payment (receipt) is made for the difference between an amount computed multiplied by the LIBOR rate and an amount computed and multiplied by a fixed rate. In DDI Future contracts, NDF and Forwards, the gain (loss) on exchange variation is computed as the difference between two periods of market quotation between the US Dollar and the contracted currency.

 

The cash flow hedge strategies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING consist of a hedge of exposure to variations in cash flows, payment of interest and exposure to interest rate, which are attributable to changes in interest rates related to assets and liabilities recognized and changes in interest rates of unrecognized assets and liabilities.

 

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 forecast transactions: Protecting the risk associated to variation in the amount of commitments, when measured in Brazilian 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.
·Hedge of asset transactions: to hedge the variations in cash flows of interest receipts resulting from changes in the CDI rate.
·Hedge of assets denominated in UF*: to hedge the variations in cash flows of interest receipts resulting from changes in the UF*.
·Hedge of Funding: to hedge the variations in cash flows of interest payments resulting from changes in the TPM* rate and foreign exchange.
·Hedge of loan operations: variations in cash flows of interest receipts resulting from changes in the TPM* rate.
·Hedge of asset-backed securities under repurchase agreements: changes in cash flows from interest received on changes in Selic (benchmark interest rate).

*UF – Chilean unit of account / TPM – Monetary policy 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.

 

All hedge relationships were designated between 2008 and 2016. 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 forecast transactions: foreign exchange amount paid / received on future dates.
·Hedge of Syndicated Loan: interest paid / received daily.
·Hedge of asset transactions: interest paid / received monthly.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 201683

 

 

·Hedge of assets denominated in UF*: interest received monthly.
·Hedge of funding: interest paid monthly.

·Hedge of loan operations: interest received monthly.

To hedge future cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions, arising from futures contracts in foreign currency, against the exposure to future interest rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING negotiated DDI Futures contracts on BM&FBOVESPA and NDF (Non Deliverable Forward) contracts traded in the over-the-counter market. During the second quarter of 2015, part of the flow of these agreements was realized, and , accordingly, Asset Valuation Adjustment was reclassified and included in the deemed cost of assets related to Hedge of Highly Probable Forecast Transaction.

 

At 12/31/2016, the gain (loss) on cash flow hedge expected to be reclassified from Comprehensive Income to Income in the following 12 months is R$ 130 (R$ 452 at 12/31/2015).

b) 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.

 

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

 

Following we present gains (or losses) of the effective and ineffective of the strategies of Hedge of net investment in foreign operations.

DDI Futures is a futures contract in which participants may trade a clean coupon for any period between the first maturity of the futures contract of foreign currency coupon (DDI) and a later maturity.

 

NDF (Non Deliverable Forward), or Forward Contract of Currency without Physical Delivery is a derivative traded on over-the-counter market, which has the foreign exchange rate of a given currency as its subject.

c) Fair value hedge

 

The fair value hedge strategy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING consists in hedging the exposure to variation in fair value, in the receipt and payment of interest related to recognized assets and liabilities.

 

To hedge the market risk variation in the receipt and payment of interest, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses interest rate swap contracts related to prefixed assets and liabilities expressed in UF (Chilean Unit of Accounts - CLF), and Euros and US Dollars, issued by subsidiaries in Chile, London and Colombia, 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 and payment of interest resulting from variations in the fair value of variable rates involved.
·To hedge the variations in cash flows of interest receipts resulting from changes in the CDI rate.

 

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 between 2012 and 2016, and maturities of related swaps will occur between 2017 and 2030. Receipts (payments) of interest flows are expected to occur on a monthly basis, and they will affect the statement of income.

 

Following we present gains (or losses) of the effective and ineffective portions of the strategies of fair value hedge.

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 where there are sufficient profits to enable the distribution of mandatory dividends, in order to limit the maximum dilutive effect 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 through the delivery of ITUB4 treasury shares to stockholders.

 

At the ESM of September 14, 2016 a capital increase with 10% share bonus was approved and ratified by BACEN on September 23, 2016. The new shares will be included in the share position on October 21, 2016. Therefore, for better comparability, the number of shares shown in this note consider the bonus shares.

 

From 01/01 to 12/31/2016, the accounting effect of the share-based payment in income was R$ (591) (R$ (734) from 01/01 to 12/31/2015 and R$ (441) from 01/01 to 12/31/2014)).

 

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 benefit from 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 approved 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. Accordingly, the exchange of shares for ITUB4 did not have a relevant financial impact.

 

Simple options have the following characteristics:

 

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

 

b)Vesting period: determined upon issue, from one to seven years, counted from the grant date. The vesting period is normally determined at five 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 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 investing 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 to five years, counted from the initial investment, and are thus subject to market price variations. After complying with the suspensive 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 regulations.

 

The acquisition prices of own shares and Share-Based Instruments are 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 shares as consideration was estimated at R$ 19.45 per share at 12/31/2016 (R$ 26.56 per share at 12/31/2015 and R$ 26.95 per share at 12/31/2014).

 

Law No. 12,973/14, which adjusted the tax legislation to the international accounting standards and terminated the Transitional 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 to 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 years. Shares are delivered on a deferred basis, of which one-third (1/3) per year, will be contingent upon 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 fair value of the ITUB4 share is the market price at its grant date.

 

The weighted average of the fair value of ITUB4 shares was estimated at R$ 21.96 per share at 12/31/2016 (R$ 28.40 per share at 12/31/2015 and R$ 23.03 per share at 12/31/2014).

(*) 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 the taxable income, due to differences between the accounting criteria and tax legislation, in addition to corporate aspects. Accordingly, it is recommended that the trends for 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.

 

Considering the temporary effects of Law 13,169/15, which increases the Social Contribution tax rate to 20% until December 31, 2018, tax credits were accounted for based on their expected realization. At 12/31/2015 the effect on the consolidated statement of income was R$ 3,921. There are no unrecorded deferred tax assets at 12/31/2016 and 12/31/2015.

Note 28 – Earnings per share

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed as shown in the table below for the periods indicated. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net income attributable to the stockholder of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING by the average number of shares for the period, and by excluding the number of shares purchased and held as treasury shares by the company. Diluted earnings per share are computed on a similar way, but with the adjustment made in the denominator when assuming the conversion of all shares that may be diluted.

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 regulations. 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 regulations, which does not require actuarial calculation, except as described in Note 29c.

 

Employees hired prior to July 31, 2002, for those who came from Itaú, and prior to February 27, 2009 for those who 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:

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 Regulations, 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

 

  12/31/2016   12/31/2015   12/31/2014
Discount rate (1) 10.24% p.a.   11.28% p.a.   10.24% p.a.
Mortality table (2) AT-2000   AT-2000   AT-2000
Turnover (3) Exp.Itaú 2008/2010   Exp.Itaú 2008/2010   Exp.Itaú 2008/2010
Future salary growth 5.04% to 7.12% p.a.   5.04% to 7.12% p.a.   5.04 to 7.12% p.a.
Growth of the pension fund and social security benefits 4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.
Inflation 4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.
Actuarial method (4) Projected Unit Credit   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. At 12/31/2016 assumptions were adopted consistently 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 Society of Actuaries (SOA), the North-American entity which corresponds to Brazilian Institute of Actuarial Science (IBA), 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 aged 55 years 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 determined based on 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.

 

In case of benefits sponsored by foreign subsidiaries, actuarial assumptions adequate to the group of participants and the country's economic scenario are adopted.

 

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 related to securities issued by the Brazilian treasury (government securities). If the actual income related to 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, aimed at minimizing volatility and short and medium term risk.

 

- Changes in Investment Income - A decrease in income related to public securities will imply a decrease in the discount rate and, therefore, will increase the plan's 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 at the inflation rate.

 

- Life Expectancy - Most of the plan obligations are to provide life benefits, and therefore an 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 to pay 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.

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, taken to be 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 based on reappraisals made in 2015, 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.

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:

2019   15  
2020   16  
2021   17  
2022 to 2026   103  

 

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 8.16% 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% increase   1% decrease  
Service cost and interest cost Income   3   (2 )
Present value of obligation Other comprehensive income   26   (22 )

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, 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.

 

·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:

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 for periods ended 2016, 2015 and 2014.

 

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, the Brazilian Market Insurer Experience (BR-EMS) tables in effect are used, adjusted according to life expectancy development of Scale G, 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.

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 – December 31, 2016135

 

 

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:

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.

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:

 

·Underwriting 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 being unable to honor its obligations on a timely basis before policyholders and beneficiaries due to lack of liquidity of assets that make up their 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 management process of insurance, pension plan and capitalization risks is based on responsibilities established and distributed between the control and business areas, assuring independence among them and focusing on the specificities of each risk, in accordance with the guidelines established by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

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

 

The purpose of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is to ensure that assets backing long-term products, with guaranteed minimum returns, are managed according to the characteristics of the liabilities aiming at actuarial balance and long-term solvency.

 

Considering actuarial assumptions, a detailed mapping of the liabilities of long-term products that result in payment flows of projected future benefits is performed annually. Based on this mapping, Asset Liability Management models are used to find the best asset portfolio composition that enables the neutralize the risks entailed in this type of product, considering its long-term economic and financial feasibility. The portfolios of backing assets are periodically rebalanced based on the fluctuations in market prices of assets, the company’s liquidity needs, and changes in characteristics of liabilities.

k)Market, credit and liquidity risk

 

I)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.

II)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 are valued according to consistent basis of risk assignment contracts, and in the event of losses effectively paid, as from December 2015; they are revalued after 180 days have elapsed in relation to the possibility of non-recovery. For previous periods, revaluation term is 365 days. This amendment was for compliance with the SUSEP Circular in force. In case of doubt, these assets are reduced based on the provision recognized for credit risk associated to 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:

 

   12/31/2016   12/31/2015 
   Carrying value   Estimated

Liabilities for capitalization plans   3,147    3,147    3,044    3,044 
Other financial liabilities   71,832    71,832    68,715    68,715 

(*) 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$ 77,453 (R$ 81,180 at 12/31/2015) with an estimated fair value of R$ 1,066 (R$ 1,143 at 12/31/2015).

 

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 – December 31, 2016145

 

 

·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 – 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 current interest 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 loans with maturity dates was determined by discounting estimated cash flows, applying current interest rates for similar funding operations. Cash deposits are not considered in the fair value estimate. 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.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 2016146

 

 

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$ 81,633 million in financial instruments classified as Level 2, at December 31, 2016, pricing service or brokers were used to evaluate securities at the fair value of R$ 40,388 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 Brazilian 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:

The following scenarios are used to measure the sensitivity:

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 percentage 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.

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, as a result of the ordinary course of its business, may be a party to legal lawsuits of labor, civil and tax nature. The contingencies related to these lawsuits are classified as follows:

 

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

 

b)Provisions and contingencies: The criteria to quantify contingencies are adequate in relation to the specific characteristics of civil, labor and tax lawsuits portfolios, as well as other risks, taking into consideration the opinion of its legal advisors, the nature of the lawsuits, the similarity with previous lawsuits and the prevailing previous court decisions.

 

-Civil lawsuits

 

In general, contingencies arise from claims related to the revision of contracts and compensation for damages and pain and suffering and the lawsuits are classified as follows:

 

Collective lawsuits (related to claims of a similar nature and with individual amounts that are 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 nature of the lawsuit and the characteristics of the court (Small Claims Court or Regular Court). Contingencies and provisions are adjusted to reflect the amounts deposited as guarantee for their execution when realized.

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): These are periodically calculated based on the calculation of the amount claimed. Probability of loss, which is estimated based on the characteristics of the lawsuit. The amounts considered as probable losses are recorded as provisions.

 

It should be mentioned that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is a party to specific lawsuits related to the collection of understated inflation adjustments to savings accounts resulting from economic plans implemented in the 80’s and 90’s as a measure to combat inflation.

 

Although ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING complied with the rules in effect at the time, the company is a defendant in lawsuits filed by individuals that address this topic, as well as in class actions filed by: (i) consumer protection associations; and (ii) the Public Prosecution Office on behalf of savings account holders. With respect to these lawsuits, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING records provisions when it is served and when the individuals apply to enforce the decision rendered by the Judicial Branch, using the same criteria adopted to determine provisions for individual lawsuits.

 

The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has issued some decisions favorable to savings account holders, but it has not established its understanding with respect to the constitutionality of the economic plans and their applicability to savings accounts. Currently, the appeals involving these matters are suspended, as determined by the STF, until it pronounces a final decision.

 

No amount is recorded as a provision in relation to Civil lawsuits which likelihood of loss is considered possible, which total estimated risk is R$ 3,388 (R$ 2,460 at 12/31/2015), in this amount there are no values resulting from interests in joint ventures.

-Labor claims

 

Contingencies arise from lawsuits in which labor rights provided for in labor legislation specific to the related profession are discussed, such as: overtime, salary equalization, reinstatement, transfer allowance, pension plan supplement, among others, are discussed. These lawsuits are classified as follows:

 

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

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): These are periodically calculated based on the calculation of the amount claimed. Probability of loss which, in turn, is estimated in accordance with the actual and legal characteristics related to that lawsuit.

 

No amount is recorded as a provision for labor claims for which the likelihood of loss is considered possible, and for which the total estimated risk is R$ 79 (R$ 829 of 12/31/2015).

 

-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.

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classify as legal liability the lawsuits filed to discuss the legality and unconstitutionality of the legislation in force, which are the subject matter of a provision, regardless of the probability of loss.

 

Tax contingencies correspond to the principal amount of taxes involved in tax, administrative or judicial challenges, subject to tax assessment notices, plus interest and, when applicable, fines and charges. A provision is recognized whenever the likelihood of loss is probable.

Note 33 – Regulatory capital

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is subject to regulation by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), which issues rules and instructions regarding currency and credit policies for financial institutions operating in Brazil. BACEN also determines minimum capital requirements, procedures for verification of information for assessment of the global systemic importance of financial institutions, limits for fixed assets, limits for loans, accounting practices and requirements of compulsory deposits, requiring banks to comply with the regulation based on the Basel Accord on capital adequacy. Additionally, the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and SUSEP issue regulations on capital requirement, which affect our insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations.

 

a) Capital Requirements in Place and In Progress

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s minimum capital requirements comply with the set of BACEN resolutions and circulars which established in Brazil the global capital requirement standards known as Basel III. These are expressed as indices obtained from the ratio between capital - represented by the Referential Equity (PR), or Total Capital, composed by the Tier I Capital (which comprises the Common Equity and Additional Tier I Capital) and Tier II Capital, and the risk-weighted assets (RWA).

 

The Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Common Equity Tier I Capital ratios are calculated on a consolidated basis, applied to entities that are part of Prudential Conglomerate, which comprises not only financial institutions but also collective financing plans (“consórcios”), payment entities, factoring companies or companies that directly or indirectly assume credit risk, and investment funds in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING retains substantially all risks and rewards.

 

For purposes of calculating these minimum capital requirements, the total RWA is determined as the sum of the risk weighted asset amounts for credit, market, and operational risks. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses the standardized approaches to calculate credit and operational risk-weighted asset amounts.

 

From September 1, 2016, BACEN authorized ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING to use internal market risk models to determine the total amount of regulatory capital, using for its daily calculation the portion of RWAMINT, replacing the portion RWAMPAD, as set out in BACEN Circular 3,646.

 

For units which are not considered significant in calculating regulatory capital for market risk, the standardized approach is used. Therefore, the internal models are not used for Argentina, Chile, Itaú BBA International, Itaú BBA Colombia, Paraguay, and Uruguay units.

 

From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, the minimum Total Capital ratio required is 9.875%. The required minimum Total Capital ratio between October 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015 was 11%, reducing gradually to 8% on January 1, 2019.

 

In addition to the minimum regulatory capital requirements, BACEN rules calls for Additional Common Equity Tier I Capital (ACP), corresponding to the sum of the components ACPConservation, ACPCountercyclical and ACPSystemic, which, in conjunction with the requirements mentioned, increase capital requirements over time. Under CMN Resolution 4,193, the value of each of the components ACPConservation and ACPCountercyclical will increase gradually from 0.625%, as from January 1, 2016, to 2.5%, as from January 1, 2019. However, component ACPCountercyclical is triggered during the phase of expansion of the credit cycle and, in accordance with BACEN Circular 3,769, the value currently required for component ACPCountercyclical is equal to zero. Also, if this component increases, the new percentage rate will take effect only twelve months after the announcement. In the case of component ACPSystemic, under BACEN Circular 3,768, the current requirement applicable to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is 0%, increasing gradually from 0.25%, as from January 2017, to 1%, as from January 1, 2019.

 

The Basel III regulatory reform also redefined the requirements for the qualification of instruments eligible for Tier I or Tier II Capital, as regulated by CMN Resolution 4,192, including a gradual reduction calendar for instruments already considered in the capital, issued prior to the effective date of the standard, which do not fully meet the new requirements.

 

The table below shows Basel III implementation calendar for Brazil, as defined by BACEN, in which the figures refer to the percentage of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s risk-weighted assets.

Prudential Adjustments Deductions   40%   60%   80%   100%   100%

(1) According to BACEN Circular 3,769, the current requirement for component ACP countercyclical is equal to zero.

 

Additionally, in March 2015, Circular BACEN 3,751 came into force, It provides for the calculation of the relevant indicators for assessing the Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs) of financial institutions in Brazil. Information on the values of the G-SIBs indicators, which are not part of its financial statements, can be found at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, “Corporate Governance” section, “Global Systemically Important Banks”.

 

The Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio between the Tier I Capital and Total Exposure, calculated as prescribed by BACEN Circular 3,748. The objective of this ratio is to be a simple, risk-insensitive leverage measure. Therefore, it does not take into consideration risk-weighting or mitigation factors. In line with the instructions set out in BACEN Circular 3,706, since October 2015, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has reported its Leverage Ratio to BACEN on a monthly basis. However, according to recommendations in Basel III Accord, a minimum Leverage Ratio should be required in 2018, which will be defined based on the period over which the ratio’s behavior was monitored, since its implementation in 2011 up to 2017.

 

More information on the composition of the Leverage Ratio, which are not part of its financial statements, is available at www.itau.com.br/investors-relations, “Governança Corporate Governance section/Risk and Capital Management – Pillar 3.

 

b) Capital Management

 

The Board of Directors is the main body in the management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s capital and it is responsible for approving the institutional capital management policy and guidelines regarding the institution’s capitalization level. The Board is also responsible for fully approving the ICAAP report, a process which is intended to assess the adequacy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s capital by identifying material risks; defining the need for additional capital for such risks and the internal capital quantification methodologies; preparing a capital plan, both for normal and stress situations; and structuring a capital contingency plan.

 

At the executive level, corporate bodies are responsible for approving risk assessment and capital calculation methodologies, as well as revising, monitoring and recommending capital-related documents and topics to the Board of Directors. To support the governance of its management bodies, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a dedicated capital management structure, which coordinates and consolidates information and related processes, all of which subject to verification by independent validation, internal control and audit areas.

 

In order to provide Executives and the Board of Directors with necessary information to support the decision-making process, management reportS are prepared and presented at corporate bodies, keeping them informed of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING as well as of projections of future capital levels under normal and stress situations.

 

The “Public Access Report – Capital Management”, which are not part of its financial statements, which provides the guidelines established in the institutional capital management policy can be accessed at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, under Corporate Governance, Regulations and Policies.

 

c) Risk appetite

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s risk appetite is a set of guidelines and limits defining acceptable levels of risk for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, aligned with the institution’s strategy. Divided into four dimensions consisting of a set of metrics of the key risks involved, risk appetite combines complementary forms of risk measurement, in order to give a comprehensive overview of the institution’s exposure.

 

The capitalization dimension reflects the level of protection of the bank against significant losses. This dimension establishes the minimum capitalization guidelines of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING in relation to its risks, according to which management uses ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s capital in accordance with acceptable leverage levels and funding costs.

  

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 2016159

 

 

The liquidity dimension reflects the level of protection against a long period of funding stress, which could lead to a lack of liquidity. This dimension establishes the guidelines regarding the minimum liquidity levels, acceptable levels of mismatch of terms and funding structure.

 

The business composition dimension, in turn, seeks to ensure, by means of concentration limits, proper portfolio composition, aiming at low volatility and sustainability of the businesses.

 

Whereas, the franchise dimension addresses risks that may impact the value of the brand and reputation of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING with stakeholders.

 

The Board of Directors holds the highest approval authority for risk appetite guidelines and limits, carrying out its responsibilities with the support of its Risk and Capital Management Committee, which submits reports and recommendations on the issue for the Board’s approval. The acceptable risk levels should be in line with the risk appetite limits approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Executive and operational functions are the responsibility of the Executive Board and the risk commissions, whose members include the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and the CEO of the institution. In addition to regularly monitoring and supervising the metrics, the risk commissions are also responsible for implementing the risk appetite framework. Also, the Audit Committee monitors the evolution of the risk appetite and helps in its management.

 

d) Capital Composition

 

The Referential Equity (PR) used to monitor compliance with the operational limits imposed by BACEN is the sum of three items, namely:

 

- Common Equity Tier I: the sum of capital, reserves and retained earnings, less deductions and prudential adjustments. 

- Additional Tier I Capital: consists of instruments of a perpetual nature, which meet eligibility requirements. Together with Common Equity Tier I it makes up Tier I. 

- Tier II: consists of subordinated debt instruments with defined maturity dates that meet eligibility requirements. Together with Common Equity Tier I and Additional Tier I Capital, makes up Total Capital.

 

The table below presents the composition of the referential equity segregated into Common Equity Tier I, Additional Tier I Capital and Tier II Capital, taking into consideration their respective prudential adjustments, as required by current regulations.

During 2016, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING bought back shares in the amount of R$ 947. These shares are recorded in line item “Treasury Shares”, which totaled R$ (1,882) as at December 31, 2016. Treasury shares reduce the institution´s Equity, causing its capital base to be decreased.

 

In this period, the amount of dividends and interest on capital paid / accrued that affected the base of the institution’s capital totaled R$ 9,221. Dividends are deducted from the institution´s Equity, thus reducing the base of its capital. Whereas, interest on capital, which is accounted for as an expense directly in profit (loss), reduces the institution´s net income and, consequently, the base of its capital.

e) Risk-weighted Assets (RWA)

 

According to CMN Resolution 4,193, and subsequent amendments, for assessing the minimum capital requirements, the RWA must be calculated by adding the following portions:

 

RWA = RWACPAD + RWAMINT + RWAOPAD

 

RWACPAD = portion related to exposures to credit risk calculated using standardized approach;

 

RWAMINT = portion related to the market risk capital requirement, using internal approach, according to BACEN Circular 3,646;

 

RWAOPAD = portion related to the operational risk capital requirement, calculated using standardized approach.

f) Capital Adequacy Assessment

 

In annually assessing its capital adequacy, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopts the following flow:

 

- Identification of risks to which the institution is exposed and analysis of their materiality;

- Evaluation of capital requirements for material risks;

- Development of methodologies for quantifying additional capital;

- Quantification and internal capital adequacy evaluation;

- Sending the capital adequacy report to BACEN.

 

Under ICAAP, a fundamental component for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING's internal capital management, noteworthy is the stress testing, a most significant element. This process provides for assessing capital by way of adverse scenarios, approved on a yearly basis by the Board of Directors, and whose purpose is measuring and assessing whether, even in severe adverse scenarios, the institution would have adequate capital levels that would not generate restrictions to the development of its activities.

 

The result of the last ICAAP – conducted as of December 2015 – indicated that, in addition to capital to face all material risks, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has significant capital surplus, thus assuring the institution’s equity soundness.

g) Capital Adequacy

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through the ICAAP, assesses the adequacy of its capital to face the incurred risks. For ICAAP, capital is composed by regulatory capital for credit, market and operational risks and by the necessary capital to face other risks.

 

In order to ensure the soundness of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and the availability of capital to support business growth, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING maintains PR levels above the minimum level required to face risks, as evidenced by the Common Equity, Tier I Capital and Basel ratios.

Referential equity calculated for covering the interest rate risk on operations not classified in the trading portfolio (RBAN)   2,264    2,332    1,275 

 

The table below shows the Basel and Fixed Asset Ratios:

 

   12/31/2016   09/30/2016   12/31/2015 
             
Basel Ratio   19.1%   19.0%   17.8%
Tier I   15.9%   15.8%   14.0%
Common Equity Tier I   15.8%   15.7%   14.0%
Additional Tier I Capital   0.1%   0.1%   0.0%
Tier II   3.2%   3.2%   3.8%
Fixed Asset Ratio   25.4%   23.6%   27.7%
Surplus Capital in Relation to Fixed Assets   34,298    36,837    28,616 

 

Considering our current capital base at December 31, 2016, should the Basel III rules established by BACEN be immediately and fully applied, the principal capital ratio would be 14.0% (13.6% at 12/31/2015 considering the use of tax credit), taking into consideration the payment of additional interest on capital expected for March 2017, the merger of Citibank and the use of tax credit.

 

h) Stress testing

 

Stress testing is performed by Itaú Unibanco to evaluate the institution’s solvency in hypothetical, however, plausible, situations of systemic crisis and identify areas most susceptible to the impact of the stress that may require risk mitigation.

 

Since 2010, Itaú Unibanco has performed a process that simulates the impact of extreme economic and market conditions on the results and capital of the institution.

 

To perform the test, macroeconomic variables for each stress scenario are estimated by the economic research department. The scenarios are defined based on their relevance for the bank´s results and likelihood to occur and are submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.

 

Projections of macroeconomic variables (GDP, benchmark interest rate and inflation) and of the credit market (fundraising, loans, default rate, spread and fees) for these scenarios are generated based on exogenous shocks or by using models validated by an independent area.

 

The projections calculated sensitize the budgeted results and balance sheet and, consequently, affect the risk weighted assets and the capital and liquidity ratios.

Note 34 – Segment Information

 

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

 

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 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 I 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 Allocated Economic 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.

 

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.

  

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 2016167

 

 

·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.

 

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 Brazilian 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 related to 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.

 

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;

 

·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

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING understands 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 operates.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING establishes its credit policy 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; among others, and external factors, such as interest rates, market default indicators, inflation, changes in consumption, among others. The assessment process of policies 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.

 

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 are breached.

 

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 or equal 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
Impairment   Corporate operations with a PD higher than 31.84%   Ca1 to D   CC+ to D   CC+ to D
    Operations past due for over 90 days            
    Renegotiated operations past due for over 60 days            

 

For individual, small and middle-market companies, credit rating is attributed based on application statistical models (in the early phases of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s relationship with the client) and behavior score (used for clients with which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING already has a relationship). Decisions are made based on these models, which are continuously monitored by an independent framework. Exceptionally, there can be an individual analysis of specific cases, in which credit approval is submitted to proper levels.

 

For large companies, the rating is based on information such as economic and financial condition of the counterparty, their cash-generating capability, the economic group to which they belong, and the current and prospective situation of the economic sector in which they operate. The credit proposals are analyzed on a case by case basis, through an approval-level mechanism.

 

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 – December 31, 2016175

 

 

2.Credit risk management

 

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 this purpose, contractually provided actions can be taken, such as early settlement or requirement of additional collateral.

 

3.Collateral and policies for mitigating credit risk

 

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 management purposes, for collaterals to be considered instruments that mitigate credit risk, they must comply with the requirements and standards of the rules that regulate them domestic or not, and be legally valid (effective), enforceable and assessed on a regular basis.

 

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.

 

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 December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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:

 

·88.8% 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 4.0% of the total loans exposure (Table 6.1) is represented by overdue credits not impaired;

 

·6.2% 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:

Market risk

 

Market risk is the possibility of incurring financial losses arising from the changes in the market value of positions held by a financial institution, including the risks of transactions subject to foreign exchange variation, interest rates, share prices, price indexes and commodity prices, among other indices related to risk factors.

 

Market risk management is the process through which the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING 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.

·Political, economic and market context;

 

·Portfolio profile of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING;

 

·Capacity to operate in specific markets.

 

The process for managing the market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is conducted within the governance and hierarchy of committees and a framework of limits and warnings approved specifically for this purpose, covering different levels and classes of market risk (such as interest rate, and exchange variation risk, among others). This framework of limits and warnings covers from the monitoring of risk aggregate indicators (portfolio level) to granular limits (individual desk level). The framework of market risk ranges from the risk factor level, with specific limits aiming at improving the risk monitoring and understanding process, and at avoiding risk concentration. These limits are quantified by assessing the forecasted results of the balance sheet, size of stockholders’ equity, liquidity, markets complexity and volatility and the institution’s appetite for risk. Limits are monitored daily and excesses and potential violations are reported and discussed for each established limit:

 

·Within one business day, for management of business units in charge and executives of the risk control area and business areas; and

 

·Within one month, for proper committees.

 

Daily risk reports, used by the business and control departments, are issued for senior management.

·Monitoring and avoiding risk concentration.

 

The market risk is controlled by an area independent from the business areas, which is responsible for the daily activities of: (i) risk measurement and assessment, (ii) monitoring of stress scenarios, limits and warnings, (iii) application, analysis and tests of stress scenarios, (iv) risk reporting for individuals responsible within the business areas, in compliance with governance of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, (v) monitoring of actions required for adjustment of positions and/or risk levels to make them feasible, and (vi) support to the launch of new financial products with security. For that purpose, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a structured reporting and information process and an information flow that provides input for the follow-up by committees and complies with the requirements of Brazilian and foreign regulatory agencies.

 

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.

 

For a detailed vision of the accounting hedge topic, see Note 9 – Hedge accounting.

 

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 of July 27, 2007.

 

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.

 

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

 

·Interest rates: the risk of losses from transactions subject to interest rate variations, foreign-currency coupons and price-index coupons;

·Currencies: the risk of losses from transactions subject to foreign exchange rate variation;
·Shares: the risk of losses from transactions subject to share price variations;
·Commodities: the risk of losses from transactions subject to commodity price variations.

 

The CMN has regulations that establish the segregation of exposure to market risk at least in the following categories: interest rate, exchange rate, shares and commodities. Inflation rates are addressed as a group of risk factors and received the same treatment as the other risk factors, such as interest rates, exchange rates, etc., and follow the structure of risk and limits governance adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING to manage market risk.

 

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.

  

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements in IFRS – December 31, 2016184

 

 

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;

 

·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 occur, 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

 

Consolidated VaR of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is calculated through the Historical Simulation methodology, which fully reflects all its positions based on the historical series of asset prices. In the first quarter of 2016, o ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING opted for including the exposures of each foreign unit in the calculation of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s Consolidated VaR, so as to take into account the risk factors of these units, thus improving the methodology used.

 

The Consolidated Total VaR table provides an analysis of the exposure to market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING portfolios.

 

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. In this quarter, the Total Average VaR remained lower than 1% of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING`s stockholders` equity, in line with that recorded in the previous quarter.

 

From January 1st to December 31, 2016, the average total VaR in Historical Simulation was R$ 236.6, or 0.18% of total stockholders’ equity (throughout 2015 it was R$ 207.0 or 0.18% of total stockholders’ equity).

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.com.br/relacoes-com-investidores, 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° 3,749 of March 5, 2015 , 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;

 

In compliance with Circular nº 3.724 of BACEN, banks holding total assets over R$ 100 billion are required, since October 2015, to report a standardized Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) ratio to the Central Bank of Brazil. This ratio is calculated based on a methodology defined by the Central Bank of Brazil itself, and is in line with international of Basileia.

 

The summarized calculation of the indicator is as follows. In 2016, the minimum indicator requirement is 70%. For more detail on the short-term liquidity indicator, that is not part of the financial statements, visit investor- relations, section Corporate Governance / Risk and Capital Management – Pillar 3.

Information on the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) 

4th quarter 2016

Total Adjusted Amount(1)

 
Total high-quality liquid assets (2)   180,957 
Total potential cash outflows (3)   85,018 
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (%)   212.8%

(1) Corresponds to the amount calculated after the application of weighting factors and limits established by BACEN Circular No. 3,749.

(2) HQLA - High quality liquid assets: balance in the stock, which in certain cases weighted by a discount factor, of assets that remain liquid in the markets during a stress period, which can be easily converted into cash and that pose low risk.

(3) Potential cash outflows calculated in standardized stress, determined by Circular No. 3.749 (outflows), subtracted from (i) potential cash inflows calculated under standardized stress, set forth by Circular No. 3,749 and (ii) 75% x Outflows, whichever is lower.

 

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$ 612.7 billion (R$ 586.2 billion at 12/31/2015), particularly funding from time deposits. A considerable portion of these funds – 34.0% of total, or R$ 207.4 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.

Note 37 – Supplementary information

 

Citibank’s retail operations

 

On October 8, 2016, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING S.A. entered, by means of its subsidiaries, into a share purchase and sale agreement with Banco Citibank S.A. and with other companies of its conglomerate (Citibank) for the acquisition of the retail activities carried out by Citibank in Brazil, including loans, deposits, credit cards, branches, assets under management and insurance brokerage, as well as the equity investments held by Citibank in TECBAN – Tecnologia Bancária S.A. (representing 5.64% of its capital) and in Cibrasec – Companhia Brasileira de Securitização (representing 3.60% of its capital), for R$ 710 million.

 

This operation will involve the corporate restructuring of some companies of the Citibank conglomerate so that the retail business in Brazil is spun off and transferred to the companies that will be the subject matter of the acquisition.

 

The effective acquisitions and financial settlements will take place after compliance with some contractual conditions and the obtainments of the necessary regulatory authorizations.

 

This acquisition will not have accounting impacts on ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING's results.
