Management Discussion & Analysis Executive Summary

 

Itaú Unibanco Pro forma Information

 

 

As from the second quarter of 2016, Itaú CorpBanca, the company resulting from the merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca, was consolidated in our financial statements, as we are the controlling shareholder of the new bank. In order to allow comparison with previous periods, historical pro forma data of the combined results of Itaú Unibanco and CorpBanca for the periods previous to the second quarter of 2016 will be presented in the Management Discussion & Analysis report.

 

The pro forma statements above mentioned were prepared considering all lines of the income statement, including 100% of Itaú CorpBanca’s result. The result related to the minority shareholders is shown in the “minority interests in subsidiaries” line, for both CorpBanca and Itaú Chile.

 

As the historical data was prepared to demonstrate, on a retroactively basis, the effect of a transaction occurred in a subsequent date, there are limitations inherent to pro forma information. The historical data was provided for illustration purposes only and should not be taken as a demonstration of the result that would have been achieved if the merger had occurred on a previous date, nor do they indicate any future result of the combined company.

 

We present below selected pro forma information in order to allow analysis on the same basis of comparison.

Managerial Income Statement

 

In this report, we apply the managerial results consolidation criteria, which only affects the breakdown of our income statement and not the bottom line. Additionally, we adjust the tax effects of the hedge of investments abroad - originally accounted for as tax expenses (PIS and COFINS) and income tax and social contribution on net income and then reclassified to the financial margin - and non-recurring events. These reclassifications enable us to carry out analyses from the management viewpoint of our businesses and are shown in "Accounting and Managerial Statements Reconciliation", on the next page of this report.

 

Our strategy for foreign exchange risk management of the capital invested abroad is aimed at mitigating, through financial instruments, the effects from foreign exchange variations and takes into consideration the impact of all tax effects. We present below the foreign exchange variation of the Brazilian real:

For comparison purposes, we deconsolidated the effects from Citibank’s retail operations in Brazil (Citibank) and we recorded its results in a specific line in our income statement. Therefore, the information presented in this report does not include Citibank’s balances and results, except where otherwise indicated.

 

The analysis of our performance in the fourth quarter of 2017 was carried out taking into consideration the managerial net income presented in the table below.

NPL Ratio (%) | 90 days

 

 

(i) Including Citibank’s operations, the total NPL ratio would have been 3.1%.

 

The decrease when compared to the previous quarter and to the same period of 2016 is mainly driven by lower delinquency rates in Brazil.

 

In Brazil, NPL decreased from the previous quarter and from December 2016 driven by lower delinquency rates in individuals and very small, small and middle-market companies.

 

In Latin America, the increase in the quarter was driven by the individuals segment in both Chile and Colombia.

(i) Including Citibank’s operations, the Coverage ratio would have reached 245%.

 

The coverage ratio, which reached 247% in December 2017, remained relatively stable compared to the previous quarter.

 

The coverage ratio level is not only a result of overdue loans, but also of our provision model for potential loan losses.

 

The expanded coverage ratio³ remained at 100%, showing that provisions are enough to cover the balance of renegotiated operations and the loans overdue for over 90 days.

Cost of Credit

 

Highlights

 

·Increase in the provision for loan losses in the quarter, concentrated in the Retail Banking in Brazil, driven by the increase in generic allowance, related to the growth in the portfolio, and in Latin America, due to the exposure to large companies in Chile and to the growth in the portfolio.

 

·In 2017, cost of credit reduced by R$7,544 million compared to 2016, mainly due to lower provision for loan losses in both the Retail and Wholesale Banking in Brazil.

(i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, the cost of credit would be R$4,257 million.

 

Compared to the previous quarter, the increase in cost of credit was mainly driven by the R$160 million increase in provision for loan losses, especially concentrated in the Retail Banking in Brazil, driven by the increase in generic allowance, related to the growth in the individuals portfolio, and in Latin America, due to exposure to corporate segment in Chile, in addition to the growth in the loan portfolio. Discounts granted also increased by R$55 million, concentrated in the Wholesale Banking in Brazil. These effects were partially offset by the increase in recovery of loans written off as losses in the Wholesale Banking in Brazil.

 

In 2017, cost of credit reduced mainly due to the R$6,996 million decrease in provision for loan losses in Brazil, both in Retail and Wholesale Banking, of R$2,635 million and R$4,361 million, respectively, in line with the lower delinquency rates. Additionally, impairment charges on corporate securities in the Wholesale Banking in Brazil decreased by R$788 million. These effects were partially offset by the reduction of R$496 million in recovery of loans written off as losses, mainly in the Retail Banking.

Note: Retail Banking includes loan loss provisions expenses of Corporation segment. In the business segments section, Latin America is part of the Wholesale Banking.

 

· Wholesale Banking - Brazil: a decrease of R$284 million in expenses in the quarter, related to the lower provisioning requirement in the segment, associated with the provisions for potential losses constituted in the last two years.

 

· Retail Banking - Brazil: these expenses increased R$257 million in the quarter, driven by the increase in generic allowance, in line with the increase in the loans to individuals, especially credit card and vehicles.

 

Recovery of Loan Written off as Losses

 

 

·The R$33 million increase in recovery of loans written off as losses from the previous quarter was particularly driven by an increase in the Wholesale segment.

 

·In the fourth quarter of 2017, we sold assets that had already been written off as losses, with no risk retention, to non-related companies. Credits totaling R$1.6 billion were assigned with positive impacts on revenues from recovery of loans, in the amount of R$29 million, and on net income, in the amount of R$16 million, in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Loan Portfolio by Risk Level

 

Our credit risk management is aimed at maintaining the quality of the loan portfolio at levels appropriate for each market segment in which we operate. At the end of December 2017, portfolios rated “AA” and “A” accounted for 78.3% of the total loan portfolio and 80.5% of the total loan portfolio in Brazil¹.

 

 

(i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, the total allowance for loan losses would be R$37,309 million and the total allowance for loan losses in Brazil would be R$32,919 million.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses and for Financial Guarantees Provided

 

We observed a reduction of 2.0% in the allowance for loan losses and for financial guarantees provided compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

This reduction was mainly driven by the specific allowance of the Retail segment in Brazil, as a consequence of decreasing delinquency rates in this segment, which was partially offset by the increased allowance for loan losses in Latin America.

 

 

We present below the total allowance(*) allocation by type of risk:

 

Overdue Risk: Allowances for overdue loans, as required by the Brazilian Central Bank, related to the minimum provision required for overdue operations according to CMN Resolution No. 2,682/1999. We also present the amount for loans 100% provisioned and for loans that do not require 100% of provision.

 

Aggravated Risk: Allowances for overdue loans with aggravated risk ratings above the minimum required by the Brazilian Central Bank, and allowances for renegotiated loans. Regarding renegotiated loans, we segregate allowances over the minimum required by the Brazilian Central Bank for overdue operations and allowances for non-overdue operations.

 

Potential Risk: Allowances for expected losses related to Retail Banking operations and allowances for potential losses related to Wholesale Banking operations, which includes allowance for financial guarantees provided.

 

 

¹ Includes units abroad ex-Latin America. ² Excludes Brazil. ³ Allowance for potential losses includes the allowance for financial guarantees provided. (*) Total allowance includes the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for financial guarantees provided, which totaled R$ 1,950 million in December 2017 and is recorded in liabilities in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,512/16. (i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, the total allowance for loan losses would be R$37,309 million.

· Individuals: the ratio decreased compared to the previous quarter, with highlight for lower delinquency rates in credit cards, personal loans, payroll loans and vehicles loans.

 

· Very small, small and middle-market companies: the ratio decreased in the quarter, mainly driven by the lower portfolio of overdue loans in the middle-market segment.

 

· Corporate: the ratio increased from the previous quarter, mainly driven by the exposure for a corporate client.

 

Coverage Ratio | 90 days

 

 

Note: Coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the total allowance balance by the balance of operations more than 90 days overdue. The extended coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the total allowance balance by the balance of operations more than 90 days overdue and renegotiated operations, excluding double counting of renegotiated operations more than 90 days overdue. Total allowance includes the allowance for financial guarantees provided, which totaled R$1,950 million in December 2017 and is recorded in liabilities in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,512/16.

 

(i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, the Total Coverage Ratio would be 245% and the Total - Brazil would be 249%.

 

· Consolidated: the ratio increased in the quarter, mainly driven by the higher coverage of the Retail Banking in Brazil, impacted by a lower portfolio of overdue loans for the segment.

 

¹ Includes units abroad ex-Latin America.

 

Loan Portfolio Write-Off

 

 

(*) Loan portfolio average balance for the previous two quarters.

(i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, the write-off would be R$4,412 million.

 

Loan portfolio write-offs decreased 8.8% from the previous quarter. This is the lowest level since December 2014. The ratio of written-off operations to the average balance of the loan portfolio remains in line with the level in the last quarters.

 

NPL Creation

 

 

Note: The NPL Creation is the balance of loans that became overdue for more than 90 days in the quarter.

 

(i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, the estimated Total NPL Creation would be R$4,375 million and the estimated NPL Creation of Retail Banking - Brazil would be R$3,312 million.

 

· Consolidated: the NPL Creation decreased from the previous period and reached its lowest level since March 2014, mainly driven by a lower NPL Creation in Brazil that decreased for the fifth consecutive quarter.

 

NPL Creation Coverage

 

 

Note: NPL Creation coverage ratio is calculated from the division of provision for loan losses by NPL Creation in the quarter.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2017, total NPL Creation coverage reached 104%, due to the NPL Creation reduction and provision for loan losses increase in the quarter.

 

· Retail Segment - Brazil: the NPL Creation coverage increased due to the NPL Creation reduction.

 

· Wholesale segment - Brazil: the 48% of the NPL Creation coverage level reflects the provision for loan losses decrease in the segment.

In 2017, credit card revenues reached R$12.4 billion, up 1.8% from 2016, mainly driven by higher revenues from annuity fees and interchange revenues.

REDE New Developments

 

REDE provides its clients with a number of products that are in line with the latest trends in the market.

 

With the e-REDE, we strengthen and improve the quality of our electronic payment platform, providing not only the acquiring service, but also an antifraud portal.

 

In November 2016, we made available to merchants the Control REDE, a reconciliation solution that facilitates the financial control of receivables.

 

In order to make banking as simple as possible for our clients, in 2016, we developed REDE Pay, our digital wallet solution, which brings to our online merchants the chance to increase their sales by accessing thousands of customers in a simple and safe way and Preço Único (One Price), a solution that simplifies billing for the merchants by charging a single fee that includes Merchant Discount Rate and equipment rental.

 

In an effort to increase the reach of the sales force and improve even more the quality or services, REDE recently reinforced its commercial team.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the volume of credit and debit card transactions increased 12.9% from the previous quarter, driven by the typical seasonality of the period. Compared to the same period of the previous year, the 2.2% increase was due to the higher level of economic activity in 2017.

 

 

In addition to the transaction volume mentioned above, we captured and processed over R$2.2 billion in transactions within our retail partners and Joint Ventures in the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Equipment Base

Non-interest Expenses

 

 

Highlights

 

·In 2017, non-interest expenses increased 0.3%, below the accumulated inflation rate for the period (2.95% - IPCA). This low increase was due to the lower expenses on labor claims, caused by the improvement in the calculation methodology in the third quarter of 2016, more than compensated by the higher expenses on personnel expenses, impacted by the negotiation of the collective labor agreement, in addition to the higher number of employees.

 

·In the quarter, the 4.7% increase in non-interest expenses was mainly driven by higher personnel expenses, especially in variable compensation, in addition to higher administrative expenses, especially by the increase in third-party services (notably consulting services to the Retail Banking segment) and data processing and telecommunications.

(*) Includes variable compensation and stock option plans. (**) Does not include ISS, PIS and Cofins. (***) Does not consider overhead allocation.

(i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, total non-interest expenses ratio would be R$12,675 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and R$47,045 million in 2017.

 

The increase in non-interest expenses in the quarter is mainly driven by (i) higher personnel expenses, mainly driven by variable compensation, due to a better result in 2017 than the previous year, and in compensation, due to the higher number of employees and to the negotiation of collective labor agreement; (ii) increase in administrative expenses, with highlight to the growth in third-party services, due to higher expenditures on consulting services to the Retail Banking segment, increase in data processing and telecommunications, and increase in advertising, due to higher TV media and internet advertising costs; and (iii) higher expenses in Latin America, due to readjustment of number of employees, to the foreign exchange variation and to the higher advertising and publicity costs.

 

In 2017, non-interest expenses increased 0.3% from the previous year, below the inflation rate for the period (2.95% - IPCA). This increase was basically driven by higher expenses on compensation, charges and social benefits, and variable compensation, which were impacted by the negotiation of the collective labor agreement, in addition to the higher number of employees to operational structure adjustment, partially offset by lower expenses on labor claims caused by the improvement in the calculation methodology in the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in expenses in Latin America (ex-Brazil) was mainly driven by the refund of the fine paid to SBIF (Superintendencia de Bancos e Instituciones Financieras de Chile) in the second quarter of 2017.

 

Number of Employees - in thousands

 

 

(i) Including Citibank’s operations acquired, total number of employees would be 99.3 thousand.

 

96.4 thousand employees at the end of the 4Q17

 

+ 0.1% (4Q17/3Q17)

+ 1.7% (4Q17/4Q16)

 

The increase in the number of employees in the year was driven by the new employees hired for the Retail Banking operational structure related to the branch network. Additionally, we started a hiring process aimed at strengthening REDE’s sales force.

 

Note: For companies under our control, 100% of the total number of employees is considered. No employees are considered for companies not controlled by us.

Efficiency Ratio

 

 

We present the efficiency ratio and the risk-adjusted efficiency ratio, which includes the cost of credit (result from loan losses, impairment and discounts granted).

 

 

 

Risk-Adjusted = Non-Interest Expenses (Personnel Expenses + Administrative Expenses + Operating Expenses + Other Expenses) + Cost of Credit
Efficiency Ratio (Managerial Financial Margin + Commissions and Fees + Result of Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds + Tax Expenses for ISS, PIS, Cofins and Other Taxes)

 

Efficiency Ratio:

 

· 12-month period: increase of 100 basis points from the same period of the previous year. In this period, non-interest expenses increased 0.3%, whereas accumulated inflation for the period was 2.95% (IPCA). On the other hand, in the same period, revenues decreased 2.2%, mainly impacted by lower economic activity.

 

Risk-Adjusted Efficiency Ratio:

 

· 12-month period: decrease of 600 basis points from the same period of the previous year. In this period, in addition to the effects that explain the Efficiency ratio, cost of credit decreased 29.6%, mainly driven by lower provision for loan losses.

Funding

 

 

Highlights

 

·Diversified funding base with our loan portfolio mainly financed by retail clients.

 

·Time deposit growth is partially related to the migration of funds from debentures linked to repurchase agreements.

 

After being purchased by the bank (the Conglomerate’s leading company), the debentures issued by the Conglomerate’s leasing companies are traded with characteristics similar to those of CDs and other time deposits, although they are classified as deposits received under securities repurchase agreements.

Management Discussion & Analysis Balance Sheet by Currency

 

Balance Sheet by Currency

 

 

We have a foreign exchange risk management policy associated with our asset and liability positions, primarily intended to mitigate impacts from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on consolidated results.

 

Brazilian tax legislation determines that gains and losses from exchange rate variation on permanent foreign investments must not be included in the tax basis. On the other hand, gains and losses arising from financial instruments used to hedge such asset positions are affected by tax effects. Therefore, in order not to expose net income to exchange rate variations, a liability position must be built at a higher volume than the hedged assets.

Management Discussion & Analysis Risk and Capital Management

 

Risk and Capital Management

 

 

We believe risk management is an essential tool to optimize the use of resources and select the best business opportunities to maximize value creation for shareholders. In this context, the risk appetite defines the nature and the level of risks acceptable and the risk culture guides the attitudes required to manage them.

 

With the aim of strengthening our values and aligning our employees' behavior with the guidelines established in risk management, we have adopted a number of initiatives to disseminate the risk culture. Our risk culture goes beyond policies, procedures and processes. It strengthens the individual and collective responsibility of all employees in the management of the risks inherent to the performed activities, respecting our ethical way of doing business. We take a prospective stance in relation to capital management and, through our Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), we assess the adequacy of our capital to face the incurred risks, composed by credit, market, operational risks and to face other material risks. The result of the last ICAAP – dated as of December 2016 – showed that, in addition to having enough capital to face all material risks, we have a significant cushion, thus ensuring the soundness of our equity position.

 

Our risk management process includes:

 

·Identification and measurement of existing and potential risks in our operations;

 

·Management of our portfolio seeking optimal risk-return ratios;

 

·Alignment of institutional policies for risk management control, procedures and methodologies according to the guidelines of the Board of Directors and our corporate strategies.

 

Risks Inherent in Our Business

 

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with failure by a borrower, issuer or counterparty to fulfill their respective financial obligations as defined in the contracts. Operational risk is the possibility of losses arising from failure, deficiency or inadequacy of internal processes, people or systems, or from external events that affect the achievement of strategic, tactical or operational objectives. Liquidity risk is the likelihood of not being able to effectively honor obligations, including those from guarantees commitment, without affecting daily operations or incurring significant losses. Market risk  is the possibility of losses resulting from fluctuations in the market values including the risk of operations subject to variations in foreign exchange and interest rates, equity and commodity prices, and price indexes.

Highlights

 

·On December 31, 2017, our CET1 fully loaded with Basel III rules reached 15.5%. Our Tier I capital ratio fully loaded is 13.5% considering the acquisition of minority interest of 49,9% in XP Investimentos, the approval of our additional capital Tier I and more importantly, the additional dividends and interest on own capital reserved in stockholder’s equity in the amount of R$13.7 billion.

 

Capital Requirements

 

Our minimum capital requirements follow the set of rules disclosed by the Brazilian Central Bank, which implement the Basel III global capital requirements standards in Brazil. These requirements are expressed as ratios of available capital - stated by the Referential Equity, or of Total Capital, composed of Tier I Capital and Tier II Capital - and the risk-weighted assets, or RWA.

 

The following table presents the schedule for phased-in implementation by the Central Bank of the capital adequacy and liquidity coverage ratio requirements under Basel III, as applicable to Itaú Unibanco Holding.

Main changes in the quarter:

 

Referential Equity: An increase of 1.5%, with impact on Tier I capital, which increased R$2,142 million, mainly due to the effect of the stockholders’ equity growth in the quarter.

 

RWA: Increase of R$37,073 million, mainly due to the higher exposure of credit risk-weighted assets (RWACPAD), including the incorporation of Citibank’s retail business in Brazil, and market risk-weighted assets (RWAMINT).

 

BIS ratio: Reduction of 70 basis points, mainly due to the effect of the increase in risk-weight assets (RWA) in the quarter.

 

Note: Includes financial institutions, consortium managers, payment institutions, companies that acquire operations or directly or indirectly assume credit risk and investment funds in which the conglomerate substantially retains risks and benefits.

 

Capital Ratio according to Full Basel III Rules

 

On December 31, 2017, our CET1 fully loaded with Basel III rules reached 15.5%. Our Tier I capital ratio fully loaded is 13.5% considering the minority interest of 49,9% in XP Investimentos, the approval of our additional capital Tier I and more importantly, the additional dividends and interest on own capital reserved in stockholder’s equity in the amount of R$13.7 billion.

 

 

1 Includes deductions of Goodwill, Intangible Assets (generated before and after October 2013), Tax Credits from Temporary Differences and Tax Loss Carryforwards, Pension Fund Assets, Equity Investments in Financial Institutions, Insurance and similar companies, the increase of the multiplier of the amounts of market risk, operational risk and certain credit risk accounts. This multiplier, which is at 10.8 nowadays, will be 12.5 in 2019 and the anticipation of deferred tax assets consumption expected for the first quarter of 2018. 2 Estimated impacts based on preliminary information, pending regulatory approval. 3 The impact of 0.6% represents AT1 issuance pro forma information, which is pending regulatory approval to be considered as Capital Tier I. 4 The additional dividends and interest on own capital in the amount of R$13.7 billions reserved in stockholder’s equity will be paid on March 7th, 2018. Therefore, the net payout over the recurring net income is 70.6%. Considering the shares bought back in 2017, the net payout over the recurring net income is 83.0%.

Management Discussion and Analysis Segment Analysis

 

Retail Banking

 

Highlights

 

·In the fourth quarter of 2017, net income decreased R$85 million from the previous quarter. This decrease was mainly driven by higher cost of credit, due to the increase in the loan portfolio, and by the growth of non-interest expenses, related to variable compensation, third-party services, data processing and telecommunications.

 

·On the other hand, commissions and fees were up R$249 million and income from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds operations before retained claims and selling expenses were up R$256 million.

Global Footprint

 

 

Latin America

 

Latin America is a priority for our international expansion due to geographic and cultural proximity to Brazil. Our purpose is to be recognized as the “Latin American Bank”, becoming a reference in the region for all financial services provided to individuals or companies.

 

Over the past years, we consolidated our presence in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. In these countries, we operate in retail, companies, corporate and treasury segments, with commercial banking as our main focus. With the recent merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca, which assured our presence in Colombia and Panama, we expanded even more our operations in the region. In Peru, we operate in the corporate segment through a representative office. In Mexico, we are present through an office dedicated to equity research activities.

 

 

 

Itaú CorpBanca

 

In Chile, Colombia and Panama we operate through Itaú CorpBanca, from which results have been consolidated since the second quarter of 2016.

 

This operation represents an important step in our strategy to expand our presence in Latin America, diversifying our operations in the region.

Disclosure Criteria

 

General

 

Managerial financial statements relating to prior periods may have been reclassified for comparison purposes.

 

The tables in this report show the figures in millions or billions. Variations and totals, however, are calculated in units. Therefore, there may be differences due to rounding.

 

Future expectations arising from the reading of this analysis should take into consideration the risks and uncertainties that involve any activities and that are outside the control of the companies of the conglomerate (political and economic changes, volatility in interest and foreign exchange rates, technological changes, inflation, financial disintermediation, competitive pressures on products, prices and changes in tax legislation, among others).

 

Itaú Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds

 

The combined ratio is the sum of retained claims, selling expenses, administrative expenses, other operating income and expenses, tax expenses for ISS, PIS and Cofins and other taxes divided by earned premiums.

 

The extended combined ratio is the sum of these same expenses divided by the sum of earned premiums, managerial financial margin and commissions and fees.

 

VaR (Value at Risk)

 

The Consolidated VaR of Itaú Unibanco is calculated based on the Historical Simulation methodology, which fully reprices all its positions based on historical series of asset prices. In the third quarter of 2016, we started to calculate VaR of the regulatory portfolio based on internal models approved by the Brazilian Central Bank. Therefore, the breakdown of risk factors was standardized to comply with Circular No. 3,646 of the Brazilian Central Bank.

 

Business Analysis

 

Pro Forma Adjustments - Adjustments made to the balance sheet and income statement for the year are based on managerial information from the business units.

 

The financial statements were adjusted in order to replace the accounting stockholders’ equity with funding at market prices. Subsequently, the financial statements were adjusted to include revenues linked to allocated capital at each segment. The cost of subordinated debt and the respective remuneration at market prices were allocated to segments on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the economic allocated capital.

 

Impacts related to capital allocation are included in the Pro Forma financial statements. To this end, adjustments were made to the financial statements, using a proprietary model.

 

Allocated Capital - The economic allocated capital model (EAC) was adopted for the Pro Forma financial statements by segment and, as of 2015, we changed our calculation methodology. In addition to the Tier I allocated capital, the EAC model includes the effects of the calculated expected loan losses, complementary to that required by the Brazilian Central Bank through CMN Circular No. 2,682/99.

 

Accordingly, the allocated capital includes the following components: credit risk (including expected losses), operational risk, market risk, and insurance underwriting risk.

 

Based on Tier I capital measure we determined the Return on Allocated Capital, which corresponds to an operational performance ratio consistently adjusted to the required capital needed to support the risks of the financial positions assumed in accordance with our risk appetite.

 

As of the first quarter of 2016, we have adopted the Basel III rules in our managerial capital allocation model.

 

Income Tax Rate - We adopt the full income tax rate, net of the tax effect of payment of interest on capital, for the Retail Banking, Wholesale Banking and Activities with the Market + Corporation segments. The difference between the income tax amount determined for each segment and the effective income tax amount, as stated in the consolidated financial statements, is allocated in the column Activities with the Market + Corporation.

MANAGEMENT REPORT – January to December 2017

 

The Management Report and the Financial Statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (Itaú Unibanco or Company) and its subsidiaries for the period from January to December 2017 follow the regulations established by the Brazilian Corporate Law, the National Monetary Council (CMN), the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP), the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), the National Superintendence of Supplementary Pension (PREVIC), and the recommendations of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

 

 

1A bank with a purpose

 

In 2017, we unveiled Itaú Unibanco’s purpose to our employees and highlighted the values that are part of our essence and have brought us here.

 

In these 93 years of history, we have become the largest bank in Brazil, and are deemed Brazil’s most valued brand, among other relevant recognitions. These achievements are the result of the way we conduct business, by always placing ethics ahead of results and consistently seeking innovation and excellence.

 

We have grown by helping people and our country to grow, by encouraging the progress of those who are by our side. We work to make dreams come true, to boost development, and to wake the will to do increasingly more and better. This is what our journey means and this is our purpose: Empowering people to change.

 

There are people behind everything we do. People who have ideas, who become the solutions, who change the lives of other people. Unveiling Itaú Unibanco’s purpose is part of the reaffirmation of our reason to exist, by increasing the power every person has to invent and reinvent themselves. For this end, we need to have the engagement of all employees towards the same pathway.

 

In line with this purpose, the arrival of Itaú Unibanco’s new Executive President was marked by this purpose being integrated into the organization, which led to the definition of the six strategics priorities that will guide our actions in the coming years: customer centricity, digitization, people management, risk management, sustainable profitability, and internationalization.

 

These priorities were defined based on the perception shared by the Executive Committee of market trends and the challenges faced by the institution, as they organize initiatives that have been in progress throughout the bank already, reinforcing our commitment to employees, clients, stockholders and society.

 

Itaú Unibanco’s purpose was not born in 2017, but rather has always existed within all people who were part of this organization and within those who now keep this legacy alive. We are people who move people.

 

Medium and Long-Term Strategic Agenda

 

With medium to long-term prospects, these six strategic priorities have guided our management. Our Work was organized in frontlines, with responsibilities separated by working groups that involve many organizational levels, with clear purposes to be achieved and indicators selected for monitoring this process. We have already achieved some results and expect to add even more value to society and our stockholders in the coming years.

 

We segregated those priorities into two groups: Transformation and Continuous Improvement.

 

·In the first group, we included the topics that we believe we need to truly transform within the organization: Customer Centricity, Digitization and People Management.

 

·In the Continuous Improvement group, we include Risk Management, Internationalization and Sustainable Profitability. They are aspects broadly embraced by the organization, but require some effort for its continuous improvement.

 

Permeating all those challenges are our corporate governance and sustainability.

 

Corporate governance plays a vital role in ensuring stakeholders’ interests and is a key to achieve long-term sustainable growth. It is embedded not only in the challenges here described, but also in each part of our daily business activities, from remuneration practices to risk management.

Sustainability needs to be fully integrated with our business, from the operational to the commercial aspects, making environmental and social issues part of our everyday activities. Its variables need to be incorporated and measured into each of our diverse processes, such as credit granting, investments, insurance activities, contracting of suppliers and wealth management.

 

Our priority topics are detailed below:

 

1.1 Transformation

 

1.1.1 Customer Centricity: Our vision is to be the leading bank in sustainable performance and customer satisfaction. Today clients play a leading role and are therefore at the core of our organizational culture. In the current scenario business have stood out when it offers new and differentiated experiences to clients. Therefore, our actions, including digitalization and efforts aimed at people management, are directed towards client satisfaction, a key measure for the entire organization. We have established indicators to monitor client satisfaction on a timely and ongoing basis, which are directly related to incentives provided to our employees.

 

We will build a culture focused on client satisfaction and long-term relationships. Thus, our efforts will be directed to communicate, encourage and capacitate our employees around the pillars of this culture.

 

Client satisfaction opinion surveys and our monitoring of complaints figures evidence that we stand above the market average. We believe however that we can do more and, to this end, we are adopting the NPS (Net Promoter Score), which will be present in every stage of our processes.

 

 

Our goal is to build a bank with the client and for the client. We are even more dedicated to listening to what clients have to say so we may identify the attributes they value the most in their relationship and develop products and services that exceed their expectations. Accordingly, we work to improve the client’s experience, evolving and eliminating red tape in our processes.

 

Some of the initiatives to improve client satisfaction are as follows:

 

·App Light, winner of the Financial World Innovation Awards. Launched in 2017, it was developed jointly with our clients. It takes up less memory in smartphones and is easier to navigate than the traditional app. App Light has reached over 500,000 users, with 90% of user loyalty.

 

·In March 2017, we launched the Personnalité Investimento 360 platform, increasing convenience to our clients as it provides a thorough range of investment products offered by Itaú and other financial institutions through Itaú Corretora. This initiative also provides a specialized advisory service, which takes into account our clients’ needs in the short, medium and long term, offering more agility to investors by monitoring their financial transactions and returns as a whole in a single place.

 

·Seeking to ensure the balance of multiple channels journey in the Internet, we have modernized the technology platform and reviewed the browsing and purchasing experiences, making it more friendly-user. We have also improved the payment and receipt services of the Companies segment, making Itaú the best internet banking experience for companies in Brazil for the third consecutive year.

 

·We were elected, by vote of the clients to Euromoney magazine, the Best Bank in Cash Management in Brazil for the 10th consecutive year.

1.1.2 Digitalization: Our challenge is to speed up our digital transformation process continually increasing the productivity of the IT department and spreading out a digital mindset throughout the bank, so as to gain efficiency and improve user experience and client satisfaction.

 

Technology today epitomizes the backbone of Itaú Unibanco’s evolution.

 

Developing over 1,000 APIs (application programming interface) that allow the creation of apps with reuse, being involved in 100% of blockchain applications in progress in Brazil to advance the financial market, consolidating a private cloud, which already runs dozens of the bank’s applications (internal systems); and using artificial intelligence and machine learning to gain operational efficiency, are some of the rewards of this digital transformation, which comes into being through a seamless integration of three essential elements.

 

The first element is people, that is, new digital profiles. These are professionals such as design, user experience, data sciences, digital media, web analytics and cyber security experts, who add up to professionals coming from traditional backgrounds (engineering, administration, economics and accounting). This evolution has taken place at an exponential rate in the organization. In the two last years alone, the presence of professionals with digital profiles in Itaú Unibanco increased 13 fold.

 

The second element is a technology-business symbiosis, with the Technology department becoming essential for the creation of transformation solutions. It is therefore possible to take advantage of this exponential evolution of technologies, accelerating the frequency of innovations and disruptions, and promoting shorter cycles of value deliveries (weeks, even days).

 

This integration of efforts is already a reality at our bank. At the end of 2017 we completed the second phase of strengthening technical expertise (technology architecture, distribution engineering, banking and data systems, system development, among others) and integrating teams (over 5,000 employees engaged in the process) by creating delivery communities and multidisciplinary teams that work collaboratively based on Lean1 and Agile2 principles to rise to business challenges. Notable for providing quick decisions shared among different expertise and with autonomy, this new working model is responsible for generating increasingly sustainable results, as follows:

 

·Efficiency (more value delivery and synchronized planning): a 14% productivity gain in technology development;

 

·Time to Market (shorter delivery cycles): down 22% in a project average delivery time;

 

·Quality (quicker, streamlined and automatized testing and approval): down 20% in unavailability ratio and down 25% in number of incidents.

 

The last element is customer centricity, also construed as a new bank concept. Today we live in an era of experiences, where companies and clients create solutions together. Therefore, our bank performance has been driven to place the customer at the heart of our strategy. To this end, we seek to understand everything the client says, analyzing, for instance, hundreds of thousands of pieces of feedback received in social networks or provided by our beta testers (technologically engaged clients who test new versions of the bank apps). Additionally, we also make use of technology (such as big data, machine learning and cloud computing) to seek operational efficiency, such as an application of artificial intelligence in our credit models, and to understand the client's behavior in all points of contact with the bank. This is because these interactions are important inputs for creating products and services more connected to the clients’ actual needs.

 

We present below some of our 2017 highlights:

 

·Itaú Light App: lighter and with low data consumption, this app offers intuitive and easy browsing.

 

·Itaú abreconta app (opening accounts): over 190,000 accounts opened through the app, allowing a 100% online opening account experience via mobile, without the need to go to a branch.

 

·Mobile evolution: apps with new design and easy browsing for Itaú and Itaú Empresas. In May 2017, Itaú App was elected the best app by Folha de São Paulo and the “must have” app at Apple Store.

 

·Digital branches: we offer differentiated business hours service for Personnalité and Uniclass clients. At the end of 2017, we had 160 digital branches, of which 25 opened this year alone.

 

1 Lean: Process structure in which an attempt is made to minimize risks and waste while maximizing value to the client.

2 Agile: A philosophy focused on the time it takes to build a product step by step, delivering it through smaller parts.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2017

1.1.3 People Management: At Itaú Unibanco we have always had a strong belief: people have the greatest transformation power. People foster our progress, they ensure sustainable results and unveil our capacity of generating value to society and the country.

 

We are challenged to become even more attractive to all generations and engage and develop our talents. For this end, we consistently invest in spreading our purpose and the so called Our Way – a strong culture, based on collaboration, meritocracy, ethics and total and unrestricted respect to the individual.

 

Considering that the bank is basically human capital, providing the best experience to our employees so as to promote their development is essential. With this in mind, the priority people frontline is reviewing incentive models and encouraging people’s autonomy and mobility in order to make them increasingly feel they are owners of the business and their own career.

 

Accordingly, attentive to all the transformations happening in the world, the priority people frontline also seeks inspiration in the most innovative practices currently used and is focused on constructing an organization that increasingly promotes diversity and inclusion.

 

1.2 Continuous Improvement

 

1.2.1 Risk Management: Managing risks is the essence of our activity and a responsibility of all employees. In 2018, we will continue our efforts to fully comply with the Risk Appetite guidelines set out by the Board of Directors. Additionally, we will focus on addressing the priorities for 2018, that is, Business, Technology, People and Regulatory risks.

 

For Risk Appetite, our challenge is to monitor the progress of traditional risk areas (market risk, credit risk and operational risk), and seek, through risk culture tools, to engage all employees in the risk management day-to-day and, consequently, to comply with our Risk Appetite.

 

Regarding Business Risk, client centrality is a principle of ours, prioritizing the sustainability of our relationships. We monitor the evolving profile of our clients and competition creating new products and services focused on client satisfaction.

 

To address the challenges of the Technology Risk, we are committed to managing our digitalization process, preventing platforms or systems from becoming obsolete and fail to meet the business needs, in addition to increasing our IT department productivity.

 

Concerning People Risk, we are committed to improving mechanisms to attract, motivate and retain the best professionals, in addition to preventing teams with knowledge concentrated on key personnel. We should continuously improve our evaluation models to be increasingly perceived as fair and meritorious.

 

Concerning the Regulatory Risk, we understand that we should always be attentive to specific changes in laws and regulations that may affect our business and the offering of products or services. Therefore, we are committed to having a proactive attitude and monitor regulatory changes.

 

1.2.2 Sustainable Profitability: Our challenge is to continuously improve the efficiency of our operations, maintain our capacity of identifying opportunities to reduce costs and manage investments to gain agility, as well as to efficiently manage capital allocation and our cost of capital.

 

Adopted since 2012, our business model is based on a fundamental concept: Value Creation, which includes not only our operating or financial expenses, but also the cost of capital allocated to each activity, seeking to grant it a fair return.

 

This vision on results guides our operations towards business that effectively create value to stockholders, establishing a minimum return required for our operations.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2017

Under this model, we have reviewed our mix of credit, which, in a scenario of economic crisis, has increased its share of lower-risk products, such as mortgage loans, whose operations are pledged by collaterals, and payroll loans, whose installments are discounted from payroll and concentrated on clients with stable income, such as retirees and federal public officers.

 

We detail below the change in the share of segments in our loan portfolio* in Brazil:

 

 

*Includes Financial Guarantees Provided

 

We also give priority to our Services and Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds, which require less capital allocation and whose results and value creation are less volatile in relation to economic cycles. In addition, our business strategy for this operation is to focus on mass-market products, traditionally sold through our network of branches and digital channels. Accordingly, operations such as life group, large risks and extended warranty insurance lines were either sold or discontinued over last years. Even in this scenario, we have increased the operating revenues1 from insurance, pension plan and premium bonds and services.

 

 

1 Operating Revenues are the sum of Managerial Financial Margin, Commissions and Fees, Other Operating Income and Result from Insurance, Pension Plan and Premium Bonds Operations before Retained Claims and Selling Expenses

 

In view of the growth, even if moderate, of Brazil's GDP as of 2017, and together with the tools developed by our efforts towards risk management, our business model will enable us to identify granular opportunities to diversify and expand operations to meet both the need to create value for our stockholders and the limits established by our risk appetite.

 

Focus on efficiency is a very significant topic in our sustainable profitability strategy and is addressed as a top priority by the bank for some years already. We have developed some initiatives, from reducing the waste of resources and energy and reviewing department structures to designing projects to increasing productivity and digitization, and therefore we expect to increase gains of scale and ensure business synergy.

 

The digitalization process we are going through has given rise to a numbers of gains, since we are able to redesign processes and offer quality products at a reasonably less cost.

1.2.3 Internationalization: We have operated in Brazil for over 90 years and, throughout this period, have achieved a high level of maturity in management, making our culture known and recording profitability levels that effectively create value to our stockholders.

 

Our strategy in other Latin America countries foresees that we will achieve, in this region, the same management standards Itaú Unibanco enjoys in Brazil, homogenizing practices and setting up conditions to take on even more leading positions. These objectives apply to our operations in the Southern Cone, and are particularly relevant in the Itaú CorpBanca integration process (a significant competitor in the banking markets in Chile and Colombia) a result from the merger between Itaú Chile and CorpBanca.

 

We also seek to strengthen our operations in the Northern hemisphere, where we have the primary objective of simplifying and optimize our operations. In Latin America, we always seek to improve client satisfaction, as well as develop products and services with digital solutions and bases. The main challenge is to accelerate the digitalization in all our external units.

 

Finally, Itaú Unibanco continuously monitors the international scenario, seeking to understand different markets, business, products and services, identifying opportunities to expand operations and integrating our units.

 

2The Year of 2017

 

2.1) Highlights

 

New Executive President – In April 2017, Candido Botelho Bracher took over as the new Executive President of Itaú Unibanco, succeeding Roberto Egydio Setubal. After 23 years leading the Company, Mr. Setubal has reached the age limit and is now a co-chairman of the Board of Directors. We thank Mr. Setubal for all his dedication and contributions made to this organization, which experienced a period of significant growth, increasing, for instance, its annual recurring net income 69 fold.

 

Dividends and Interest on Capital – In 2017, we paid, recognized in a provision or identified in Stockholders’ Equity the amount of R$17.6 billion in dividends and net interest on capital, the highest in our history, corresponding to 70.6% of 2017 consolidated recurring net income, which represents an increase of 75.6% from 2016 fiscal year.

 

In March 7, 2018 we will pay dividends and interest on capital of R$2.0707 per share (shareholding position on February 15, 2018) and R$0.122825 per share (shareholding position on December 14, 2017).

 

Therefore, for the fiscal year of 2017 (competence) the Company’s stockholders will receive R$2.7127 net per share.

 

Additionally, considering the shares buyback in 2017, the payout accounts for 83.0% of the 2017 consolidated recurring net income.

In 2017, we adopted a new practice to pay dividends and interest on capital at least 35% of annual recurring net income; the total amount to be paid each year will be set forth by the Board of Directors, taking into account, among others:

 

1.the Company’s capitalization level, in accordance with the rules defined by BACEN;
2.the minimum level, established by the Board of Directors, of 13.5% for tier 1 capital;
3.profitability for the year;
4.the prospective use of capital in view of the expected business growth, share buyback program, mergers and acquisitions, and market and regulatory changes that might modify capital requirements; and
5.tax changes.

 

Therefore, the percentage to be distributed may change every year based on the company’s profitability and capital demands, but always considering the minimum distribution set forth in the Bylaws.

 

Capital Management

 

We adopt a prospective approach to capital management, which comprises the following phases: (i) identifying material risks and determining the need of additional capital for these risks; (ii) preparing a capital plan, both in normal and stress scenarios; (iii) structuring a capital contingency plan; (iv) carrying out an internal capital adequacy assessment; and (v) preparing managerial and regulatory reports.

 

The result of the last ICAAP – dated as of December 2016 – showed that, in addition to having enough capital to face all material risks, Itaú Unibanco has a significant capital surplus, thus ensuring the soundness of Itaú Unibanco’s equity position.

 

To ensure our strength and capital availability to support business growth, regulatory capital levels were kept above the requirements of BACEN, as evidenced by the Common Equity Tier I, Tier I, and BIS ratios. For further information, see to the “Risk and Capital Management Report – Pillar 3” report on our website www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Corporate Governance.

 

At the end of 2017, the BIS ratio was 18.8%, of which: (i) 16.2% related to Tier I Capital, which is composed of the sum of Core Capital and Additional Capital; and (ii) 2.6% related to Tier II Capital. These indicators provide evidence of our effective capacity of absorbing unexpected losses. The amount of our subordinated debt, which is part of Tier II regulatory capital, reached R$19.8 billion at December 31, 2017.

 

Capital management in 2017 highlights are as follows:

 

·Share Buyback Program – From January to December 2017, we acquired shares of own issue:

 

oPreferred shares: 37,982,900, in the total amount of R$1.4 billion at the average price of R$36.19 per share.
oCommon shares: 46,214,237, in the total amount of R$1.7 billion at the price of R$37.00 per share.
oThe total of 84.2 million shares bought back equal 1.3% of the bank’s capital stock as of December 31, 2016.

 

Approved by the Board of Directors in December 2017, our current buyback program authorizes the acquisition of up to 28,616,649 common shares and up to 50 million preferred shares of own issue, and it allows that operations are carried out from December 20, 2017 to June 19, 2019.

 

·Cancellation of Treasury Shares – Of the shares bought back and held in treasury, 31,793,105 common shares were cancelled, as decided by the Board of Directors, with no capital decrease. Cancellation is pending regulatory approvals.

 

The main objectives of the acquisition of own issued shares with subsequent cancellation are as follows: (i) maximizing capital allocation through the efficient application of available funds; (ii) arranging for the delivery of shares to employees and management members of the Company and its subsidiaries under the scope of remuneration models and long-term incentive plans; and/or (iii) using the shares acquired if business opportunities arise in the future.

·Perpetual Subordinated Notes – In December 2017, we issued for the first time perpetual subordinated notes/AT1, in the amount of US$1.25 billion. These notes were issued at a fixed rate of 6.125%, which will be applicable until the fifth anniversary of the date of issue. Thereafter, the coupon will be reset every five years, based on the prevailing rate for U.S. Treasury bonds for the same period. Itaú Unibanco may repurchase these notes on the fifth anniversary of the date of issue or on any subsequent interest payment date, subject to prior approval from Brazilian authorities, including BACEN.

 

These notes were offered in the international market to qualified institutional buyers only, as defined by Rule 144A of the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act.

 

Itaú Unibanco has requested the approval from BACEN, so that these perpetual subordinated notes be included in its Reference Equity as Additional Tier 1 Capital, adding 60 bps to the Company’s Tier 1 capital ratio.

 

Decision issued by the Administrative Board of Tax Appeals (CARF) - On April 10, 2017 CARF issued a favorable decision for the Company, recognizing that the intended collections of income tax and social contribution on net income were inapplicable and ratifying the regularity and legitimacy of Itaú and Unibanco merger as it had been fully approved by BACEN, CVM, and the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), which reaffirms the Company’s understanding that these operations were legitimate. Since it received the tax assessment notice from the Brazilian IRS, Itaú Unibanco has always believed that the risk of loss in the above mentioned tax proceeding was remote.

 

Economic Plans – Itaú Unibanco is a party to specific lawsuits in connection with the collection of understated inflation adjustments to savings accounts resulting from economic plans implemented in the 1980’s and 1990’s as a measure to combat inflation. Although we had 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 and, therefore, we have recognized provisions when we are served and when individuals file for the enforcement of rulings rendered by the Judicial Branch, by using the same criteria adopted to calculate provisions for individual lawsuits.

 

In December 2017, as mediated by the Office of the General Counsel to the Federal Government (AGU) and supervised by the Central Bank of Brazil, savings account holders (represented by two civil entities, FEBRAPO, and IDEC) and FEBRABAN, the Brazilian Federation of Banks, jointly executed an agreement to settle litigations in connection with the economic plans, and Itaú has already adhered to its terms accordingly. This agreement is pending ratification by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to become valid and effective, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2018. After this ratification, savings account holders will be entitled 24 months to adhere to the terms of this agreement.

 

2.2) Acquisitions and Disposals

 

We present below the main operations carried out in 2017. All of them were timely announced to the market and the details are included in announcements to the market and material facts available on the Company’s Investor Relations website:

·Gestora de Inteligência de Crédito – In June 2017, together with other institutions, we entered into an agreement to incorporate Gestora de Inteligência de Crédito S.A., whose purpose will be the development of a data base aimed at aggregating, reconciling and handling master file and credit data of individuals and companies.

 

·IRB-BRASIL RESSEGUROS S.A. (IRB) – Within the scope of the Public Offering of IRB’s shares, in August 2017 Itaú Seguros S.A reduced its interest to 11.1%, from 14.7%, in the total capital of IRB. Itaú Vida e Previdência S.A., which held 0.2% interest, is no longer a stockholder. We remain in the IRB controlling group, under the terms of the company's shareholders' agreement.

 

·Itaú CorpBanca In September 2017, we acquired 1.8 billion Itaú CorpBanca shares for the approximate amount of R$55.6 million. Therefore, Itaú Unibanco’s interest ownership reached 36.06%, without changing the governance of Itaú CorpBanca.

 

·Citibank In October 2017, after obtaining regulatory approvals, the first step of the incorporation process was carried out and we are now in charge of the retail business of Citibank in Brazil.

3Sustainability

 

Sustainability is incorporated into the corporate strategy through a consolidated governance framework integrated into business, providing for the internalization of social and environmental issues and trends into daily activities and processes, the identification of areas able to address them, and the follow-up of performance and indicators of these issues from time to time.

 

Our actions are based on three strategic focus points: financial education, dialogue and transparency, and social and environmental risks and opportunities. Our management of environmental and social risks is based on the identification, measurement, mitigation and monitoring of risks based on their characteristics, needs, exposure and specificities of each business front.

 

In 2017, as we concluded that our current position has reached its maturity, we started a process to review the sustainability strategy. This moment in time becomes even more convenient with the disclosure of Our Purpose, the emergence of new priority topics, the digitalization scenario, and the advancements in the sustainable development agendas.

 

Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) – for the 18th consecutive year, Itaú Unibanco was selected to compose the portfolio of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, the world’s main sustainability index. In this edition, we achieved the best rate in the banking sector in the “Anti-Crime Policies/Actions”, “Financial Stability and Systemic Risk”, “Materiality”, “Risks and Opportunities”, “Climate Strategy” “Philanthropy and Corporate Citizenship” and “Social Reporting” criteria. Additionally, Itaú Unibanco was also selected to make up the Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index.

Participation in the B3 Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) – for the 13th consecutive year we were chosen to make up the portfolio of the B3 Corporate Sustainability Index. ISE reflects the return of a portfolio made up of shares of companies with the best performance in all aspects that measure corporate sustainability.

 

Participation in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index – we were chosen to make up the portfolio of the 2017 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index for companies of the financial sector. In its second edition, this index was created to recognize companies for their commitment to gender equality and transparency in reporting such information.

 

Women’s Empowerment Principles – WEPs – in June 2017, we adhered to the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) proposed by the U.N. Women and the U.N. Global Compact. This adherence represents our commitment to working towards gender equality, one of the principles of the U.N. Global Compact. Further information on WEPs is available on http://www.weprinciples.org/.

 

In December, we were the winners in the “Sustainable Finance” category in the Época Empresa Verde awards, promoted by Época magazine, which recognized the bank’s main sustainability related actions.

 

3.1 Statement of Added Value

 

Our added value, which shows the wealth generated for the community, reached R$67.2 billion in 2017 (including recurring net income and the reclassification of hedge tax effects of investments abroad to financial margin), up 9.0% compared to 2016. This result refers to the direct economic value created and distributed by Itaú Unibanco, including income, operating costs, employee compensation, donations and other investments in the community, retained earnings and payments made to capital providers and governments.

 

 

 

3.2 Social Private Investment

 

Among the actions carried out by Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate in 2017 to support social change agendas, we highlight the social private investment model, in which we allocated funds to support initiatives and projects aligned with our institutional causes.

 

We recognize and value our share of responsibility for the development of Brazil and sustain the purpose of promoting positive changes in the lives of people and society. Accordingly, over 2017 we made contributions through social private investments on three fronts, as follows: I) direct allocation of financial funds; II) support to projects subject to incentive laws; III) our Institutions and Foundations.

 

These social investments were made to improve areas such as education, culture, sports, urban mobility, health, and aging. In 2017, we invested R$547.4 million in projects, of which 75.7% were via donations and sponsorships carried out by Itaú Unibanco and 24.3% through amounts incentivized by laws (Rouanet, Sports Incentive Law), making contributions to education, health, culture, sports, and mobility projects. We present below our activities in 2017:

3.3) Education and Health

 

Fundação Itaú Social – The journey of Fundação Itaú Social dates back to 1993, when the Community Action Program – later named Itaú Social Program – was created. The purpose of the program was to implement the bank's social investment initiatives. In 2000, it was expanded with the foundation of Fundação Itaú Social through the creation of an endowment derived from funds donated by Itaú.

 

In 2017, the organization started to review its organizational structure, keeping a commitment to its mission to develop, implement and share social technologies to help improve Brazilian public education. Therefore, as from 2017, the actions of Fundação Itaú Social are focused on two axes: Education Management actions – training of education area professionals – and actions for Society – strengthening civil society organizations.

 

Instituto Unibanco (Unibanco Institute) – Founded 35 years ago, Instituto Unibanco is an organization working to raise the quality of Brazilian public education with focus on secondary schools. To this end, the Institute develops and implements public school system management solutions to improve learning results among young people.

 

The Institute has partnerships with education departments, academic institutions, education-focused philanthropic institutions, and the National Council of Secretaries of Education (Consed), among other institutions. It is supported by an endowment that guides the funding of activities. The highlights among its several programs are as follows: Jovem do Futuro (Promising Youth), Escola do Futuro (School of the Future) and Fomento (Promotion).

 

3.4) Culture

 

Itaú Cultural – Itaú Cultural completed 30 years in 2017 and prepared a number of actions to celebrate this date. One of them was Modos de Ver o Brasil: Itaú Cultural 30 Anos (Ways to See Brazil: Itaú Cultural 30 years) exhibition, which gathered 800 artworks of Itaú Unibanco’s collection. These were displayed between May and August at Oca, a space located in the Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo, which refitted by the institute and visited by approximately 100,000 people.

 

Regarding the virtual arena, Itaú Cultural redesigned its Internet portal. This new website, adaptable to the most different devices, shows the institute’s events schedule, the register of past activities carried out, videos, news and other contents, in addition to providing access to the Enciclopédia Itaú Cultural de Arte e Cultura Brasileiras (Itaú Cultural Encyclopedia of Brazilian Art and Culture) (unified early this year as the first action celebrating the 30 years), to the Ocupação Itaú Cultural program website and the O Mundo de Bartô (Bartô World) page, the latter dedicated to children. In the year, the portal received over 14 million single hits. In partnership with Biblioteca Nacional (National Library), Instituto Moreira Salles (Moreira Salles Institute) and Pinacoteca de São Paulo (Art Gallery of the State of São Paulo), in October 2017 the brasilianaiconografica.art.br website was designed to make available hundreds of art and other works related to the Brazilian history, culture, and fauna and flora. The website received 22,707,000 single hits.

 

Itaú Cultural carried out 875 activities over the year, impacting 765,093 people throughout Brazil. These actions include concerts and events at the Ibirapuera Auditorium, exhibitions at Espaço Memória (Heritage Hall), Alfredo Egydio room, and the events scheduled at our headquarters at Avenida Paulista, in the Olavo Setubal Hall, with 318,510 visitors, up 26% from the previous year.

 

Espaço Itaú de Cinema – Since opening in 1995, the purpose of Espaço Itaú de Cinema is to offer a diversified film programming, from art house to blockbuster movies.

This structure has eight complexes with 57 screening rooms in six Brazilian cities (Brasília, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Salvador).

 

3.5) Sports

 

We believe, along with education and culture, sports helps develop critical-thinking citizens and leave a legacy to society at large. Therefore, we sponsor a number of projects in three sports (tennis, soccer and multidisciplinary sports) that aim to promote social inclusion through sports and to train people to spread sports training to transform people’s world.

 

3.6) Urban Mobility

 

As we are an essentially urban bank and recognize the importance of valuing an active transport mode for the sustainable development of cities, we define urban mobility as an investment pillar within our sustainability platform and have worked to foster the culture of integrating bikes into the urban transport model.

 

Bike-sharing system

 

In partnership with the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, we sponsor the Bike Rio program. This program success has led to its expansion to São Paulo and Porto Alegre in 2012, Pernambuco, Salvador, and Santiago (Chile) in 2013, and to Brasília and Belo Horizonte in 2014. We are the sole sponsors of bike-sharing systems in the world that count on nationwide programs. In 2017, we started to renew the project in Pernambuco, Porto Alegre, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro.

 

Employees and clients

 

In addition to efforts to promote public cycling mobility policies, we are committed to encouraging employees and clients to choose bikes as their mode of transport.

 

4Regulation

 

4.1) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS – CVM Instruction No. 381

 

Procedures adopted by the Company

 

The policy adopted by us, including our subsidiaries and parent company, to contract non-audit related services from our independent auditors is based on the applicable regulations and internationally accepted principles that preserve the auditor’s independence. These principles include the following: (a) an auditor cannot audit his or her own work, (b) an auditor cannot function in the role of management in companies where he or she provides external audit services; and (c) an auditor cannot promote the interests of its client.

 

In the period from January to December 2017, the independent auditors and related parties did not provide non-audit related services in excess of 5% of total external audit fees.

 

According to CVM Instruction No. 381, we list below the non-audit services provided and related dates:

 

·February 2 – review of tax-accounting bookkeeping;
·February 6, March 15, May 2, May 16 and September 29 – research, technical material and training;
·March 2 – review of compliance with transfer pricing policies.
·August 1 – issue of income tax settlement report.

 

Independent Auditors’ justification – PricewaterhouseCoopers

 

The provision of the non-audit services described above does not affect the independence or the objectivity of the external audit of Itaú Unibanco, parent and its subsidiary/affiliated companies. The policy adopted for providing non-audit related services to Itaú Unibanco is based on principles that preserve the independence of Independent Auditors, all of which were observed in the provision of the referred services, including the approval by the Audit Committee.

Note 2 – Presentation and consolidation of the financial statements

 

a)Presentation

 

The financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and of its subsidiaries (ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED) have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles established by the Brazilian Corporate Law, including the amendments introduced by Laws nº. 11,638, of December 28, 2007, and nº. 11,941, of May 27, 2009 and in conformity, when applicable, with instructions issued by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), the National Monetary Council (CMN), the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP), the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and the National Superintendence of Supplementary Pension – (PREVIC), which include the use of estimates deemed necessary to calculate the accounting provisions and the valuation of financial assets.

 

In order to enable the analysis of the net income, the heading “Net income without non recurring effects” is presented within the Consolidated Statement of Income, and this effect is shown under the heading “Exclusion of non recurring effects” (Note 22k).

 

As set forth in the sole paragraph of article 7 of BACEN Circular nº. 3,068, of November 8, 2001, securities classified as trading securities (Note 4c) are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under Current Assets, regardless of their maturity dates.

 

Lease Operations are presented at present value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the related income and expenses, which represent the financial results of these operations, are presented, grouped together, under Loan, Lease and Other Credit Operations in the Statement of Income. Advances on exchange contracts are reclassified from Other Liabilities – Foreign exchange portfolio to Loan operations. The foreign exchange result is presented on an adjusted basis, with reclassification of expenses and income, in order exclusively to represent the impact of variations and differences in rates on the balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies.

 

As from June 30, 2016, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED began presenting a new concept for losses (Notes 8a II and 8c), segregating the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses into 3 types of risks: Delay Risk: Provisions for delay, as required by BACEN, related to the minimum provision required for overdue operations, in accordance with CMN Resolution nº. 2,682, of December 21, 1999; Aggravated Risk: Provisions for credits with aggravation of risk above the minimum required by BACEN for overdue operations and also provisions for credits that were renegotiated and Potential Risk related to expected and potential loss.

 

b)Consolidation

 

As set forth in paragraph 1, article 2, of BACEN Circular nº. 2,804, of February 11, 1998, the financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED include the consolidation of its foreign branches and subsidiaries.

 

Intercompany transactions, intercompany balances and intercompany results have been eliminated on consolidation. The investment funds of which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED companies are the main beneficiaries or holders of principal obligations are consolidated. The investments in these fund portfolios are classified by type of transaction and were distributed by type of security, based on the same categories to which these securities were originally allocated. The effects of foreign exchange variations on investments abroad are classified under the heading Securities and derivative financial instruments in the Statement of Income for subsidiaries with the same functional currency as the parent company, and in Asset valuation adjustment for subsidiaries with a functional currency different from that of the parent company (Note 4t).

 

The difference in Net Income and Stockholders’ Equity between ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED (Note 16d) results from the adoption of different criteria for the amortization of goodwill originating from purchases of investments, from the recording of transactions with minority stockholders where there is no change of control (Note 4r), and in the record of exchange variations on investments abroad, and hedges of these investments where the functional currency is different from that of the parent company, net of the respective deferred tax assets.

 

In ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, the goodwill recorded in subsidiaries, mainly originated from the ITAÚ and UNIBANCO merger and acquisition by minority stockholders of REDE, is amortized based on the expected future profitability and appraisal reports, or upon realization of the investment, according to the rules and guidance of CMN and BACEN.

 

In ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, from January 1st, 2010, the goodwill originating from the purchase of investments is no longer fully amortized as part of the consolidated financial statements (Note 4j). By December 31, 2009, the goodwill generated had been fully amortized in the periods in which investments were made.

Further details on the Capital Management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, which are not an integral part of the financial statements, can be found on the website www.itau.com.br/investor-relations Corporate Governance / Risk and Capital Management – Pillar 3.

 

a)Capital Requirements in Place and in Progress

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’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. They are expressed as indices obtained from the ratio between available capital - represented by Referential Equity (PR), or Total Capital, composed of Tier I Capital (which comprises Common Equity and Additional Tier I Capital) and Tier II Capital, and the Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA).

 

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 CONSOLIDATED uses the standardized approaches to calculate credit and operational risk-weighted asset amounts.

 

As from September 1, 2016, BACEN authorized ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED to use market risk internal models to determine the total amount of regulatory capital (RWAMINT), replacing the RWAMPAD portion, as set forth in BACEN Circular 3,646.

 

From January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the minimum capital ratio required is 9.25%, and, following the gradual decrease schedule, it will be 8% on January 1, 2019.

 

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 CONSOLIDATED risk-weighted assets.

 

  As from January 1st 
Schedule for Basel III implementation  2015   2016   2017   2018   2019 
Common Equity Tier I   4.5%   4.5%   4.5%   4.5%   4.5%
Tier I   6.0%   6.0%   6.0%   6.0%   6.0%
Total capital   11%   9.875%   9.25%   8.625%   8.0%
Additional Common Equity Tier I (ACP)   0.0%   0.625%   1.50%   2.375%   3.5%
ACPconservation   0%   0.625%   1.25%   1.875%   2.5%
ACPcountercyclical (*)   0%   0%   0%   0%   0%
ACPsystemic   0%   0%   0.25%   0.5%   1.0%
Common Equity Tier I + ACP   4.5%   5.125%   6.0%   6.875%   8.0%
Total capital + ACP   11.0%   10.5%   10.75%   11.0%   11.5%
Prudential adjustment deductions   40%   60%   80%   100%   100%

(*) ACP Countercyclical is triggered during the credit cycle expansion phase, and, currently, according to BACEN Circular 30,371, the amount required for the countercyclical capital is zero. Furthermore, in the event of increase in ACPCountercyclical, the new percentage will be effective only twelve months after it is announced.

 

Additionally, in March 2015, Circular 3,751, of March 19, 2015, of the BACEN 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”.

 

In March 2017, Additional Common Equity Tier I Capital of systemic importance (ACPSystemic) went into effect, regulated by BACEN Circular 3,768, of October 29, 2015. The purpose of ACPSystemic is to reduce the probability of insolvency of an institution systemically important in the domestic level (D-SIB: Domestic Systemically Important Bank) and the impact on the stability of the financial system and economy. The calculation of ACPSystemic associates the system importance, represented by the institution’s total exposure, with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

b)Capital management governance

 

The Board of Directors is the main body in the management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s capital and it is responsible for approving the institutional capital management policy and guidelines for the institution’s capitalization level. The Board is also responsible for fully approving the ICAAP report (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process), which is intended to assess the adequacy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s capital.

 

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)Composition of capital

 

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.

 

Composition of Reference Equity  12/31/2017   12/31/2016

Reference Equity (Tier I + Tier II)   142,251,973    139,477,276 

 

d)Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA)

 

According to CMN Resolution nº. 4,193, as amended, minimum capital requirements are calculated by the RWA amount, which is obtained by adding the terms listed below:

 

RWA = RWACPAD + RWAMINT + RWAOPAD

 

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

 

RWAMINT = portion related to capital required for market risk, compose of the maximum between the internal model and 80% of the standardized model, regulated by BACEN Circulars 3,646 and 3,674;

 

RWAOPAD =portion related to capital required for operational risk, calculated based on the standardized approach.

Note 4 – Summary of the main accounting practices

 

a)Cash and cash equivalents - For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, this item includes cash and current accounts in banks (considered in the heading Cash and cash equivalents), interbank deposits and securities purchased under agreements to resell – funded positions that have original maturities of up to 90 days.

 

b)Interbank investments, remunerated restricted credits – Brazilian Central Bank, remunerated deposits, deposits received under securities repurchase agreements, funds from acceptance and issuance of securities, borrowing and onlending, subordinated debt and other receivables and payables – Operations with fixed remuneration and charges are accounted for at present value. Operations with post-fixed or floating remuneration and charges are accounted for at the adjusted principal amount. Operations subject to foreign exchange variation are accounted for at the corresponding amount in local currency. Liabilities are presented net of the transaction costs incurred, when relevant, calculated pro rate die.

 

c)Securities - Recorded at the cost of acquisition restated by the index and/or effective interest rate and presented in the Balance Sheet, according to BACEN Circular nº. 3,068, of November 8, 2001. Securities are classified into the following categories:

 

·Trading securities – securities acquired to be actively and frequently traded, and adjusted to market value, with a counter-entry to the results for the period;

 

·Available-for-sale securities – securities that can be negotiated but are not acquired for the purposes of active and frequent trading. They are adjusted to their market value, with a counter-entry to an account disclosed in stockholders’ equity;

 

·Held-to-maturity securities – securities, except for non-redeemable shares, which the bank has the financial condition and intend, or is required to hold in the portfolio to maturity, are recorded at the cost of acquisition, or market value, whenever these are transferred from another category. The securities are adjusted using the accrual method through maturity, and are not adjusted to market value.

 

Gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, when realized, are recognized on the trade date in the statement of income, with a counter-entry to a specific stockholders’ equity account.

 

Decreases in the market value of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities below their related costs, resulting from non-temporary causes, are recorded in the results as realized losses.

 

d)Derivative financial instruments - these are classified on the date of their acquisition, according to whether or not management intends to use them either as a hedge, according to BACEN Circular nº. 3,082, of January 30, 2002. Transactions involving financial instruments, carried out at the client’s request, on their own account, or which do not comply with the hedging criteria (mainly derivatives used to manage the overall risk exposure), are stated at market value, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are recorded directly in the statement of income.

 

The derivatives that are used for protection against risk exposure or to modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, which have changes in market value closely related with those of the items being protected at the beginning and throughout the duration of the contract, and which are found to be effective reducing the risk related to the exposure being protected against, are classified as hedges, in accordance with their nature:

 

·Market Risk Hedge financial assets and liabilities, as well as their related financial instruments, are accounted for at their market value, plus realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are recorded directly in the statement of income.

 

·Cash Flow Hedge - the effective amounts of the hedge of financial assets and liabilities, as well as their related financial instruments, are accounted for at their market value plus realized and unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effects, when applicable, and recorded in a specific account in stockholders’ equity. The ineffective portion is recorded directly in the statement of income.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2017

89

 

 

·Net Investment Hedge of Foreign Operations - accounted for similarly to cash flow hedge, i.e. the portion of gains or losses on a hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in stockholders’ equity, and reclassified to income for the period in the event of the disposal of the foreign operation. The ineffective portion is recognized in income for the period.

 

e)Loan, lease and other credit operations (operations with credit granting characteristics) – These transactions are recorded at present value and calculated pro rata die based on the variation of the contracted index and interest rate, and are recorded on basis until the 60th day overdue in financial companies, according to the estimates of receipt. After the 60th day, income is recognized upon the effective receipt of installments. Credit card operations include receivables arising from the purchases made by cardholders. Funds corresponding to these amounts to be paid to the accrediting organization are in liabilities, in the heading Interbank Accounts – Receipts and Payments Pending Settlement.

 

f)Allowance for loan losses - the balance of the allowance for loan losses was recorded based on a credit risk analysis, at an amount considered sufficient to cover loan losses in accordance with the rules determined by CMN Resolution nº. 2,682 of December 21, 1999, which are as follows are:

 

·Provisions are recorded from the date on which loans are granted, based on the client’s risk rating and on the periodic quality evaluation of clients and industries, and not only in the event of default;

 

·Taking into account default exclusively, the write-off as losses occurs 360 days after the credits have matured or after 540 days for operations that mature after a period of 36 months.

 

The criterion adopted for recognition of a provision for Financial Guarantees pledged was based on the Expected Loss model.

 

g)Other assets - these assets are mainly comprised of assets held for sale relating to real estate available for sale, own real estate not in use and real estate received as payment in kind, which are adjusted to market value through a provision, according to current regulations, unearned reinsurance premiums (Note 4m I); and prepaid expenses, corresponding to disbursements, the benefits of which will be felt in future exercises.

 

From January 1st, 2015, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED has adopted the option provided in BACEN Circular nº. 3,693, of December 20, 2013, which establishes accounting procedures for the compensation of local correspondents in connection with credit origination. These compensation amounts for local correspondents in connection with transactions originated after January 1st, 2017 will be fully recorded as expenses for the period.

 

h)Investments – investments in subsidiary and affiliated companies are accounted for based on the equity method. The consolidated financial statements of foreign branches and subsidiaries are adapted to comply with Brazilian accounting practices and converted into Reais. Other investments are recorded at cost and adjusted to market value by making a provision in accordance with current standards.

 

i)Fixed assets - As provided for in CMN Resolution nº. 4,535, of November 24, 2016, these correspond to proprietary tangible assets and leasehold improvements, provided that they were used to carry out the company`s activities for a period of time longer than one year, and they should be recorded at fair value and adjusted for impairment, if applicable. Fair value comprises the purchase or construction price on demand, plus any import taxes and taxes not recoverable upon purchase, directly attributable costs required for the operation, and the initial estimate of costs of disassembling and removal of the asset and restoration of the place it is located, if the institution agrees to bear such costs at the asset purchase date. Monthly recognized depreciation takes into account the systematic allocation of the depreciated amount over the useful life of the asset.

 

j)Goodwill – corresponds to the amount paid in excess for the purchase of investments and is amortized based on expected future profitability or as realized. It is tested semiannually for impairment.

I -Contingent assets and liabilities

 

Refer to potential rights and obligations arising from past events for which materialization depends on uncertain future events:

 

·Contingent assets - not recognized, except where there is evidence of a high likelihood level of realization, usually represented by claims awarded a final and unappealable judgment and confirmation of the recoverability of the claim through receipt of amounts or through offsetting against another liability;

 

·Contingent liabilities - basically arise from administrative proceedings and lawsuits inherent in the normal course of business filed by third parties, former employees and governmental bodies, in connection with civil, labor, tax and social security lawsuits and other risks. These contingencies are calculated on a conservative basis, usually recorded based on the opinion of legal advisors and considering the probability that financial resources shall be required to settle the obligation, the amount of which may be estimated with sufficient certainty. Contingencies are classified either as probable, for which provisions are recognized; possible, which are disclosed but not recognized; and remote, for which recognition or disclosure are not required. Any contingent amounts are measured through the use of models and criteria which allow adequate measurement, in spite of the uncertainty of their terms and amounts.

Escrow deposits are restated in accordance with the current legislation.

 

Contingencies guaranteed by indemnity clauses in privatization processes and with liquidity are only recognized upon judicial notification with the simultaneous recognition of receivables, without any effect on results.

 

II -Legal liabilities – tax and social security

 

Represented by amounts payable related to tax liabilities, the legality or constitutionality of which are subject to judicial challenge, recognized at the full amount under discussion.

 

Liabilities and related escrow deposits are adjusted in accordance with the current legislation.

 

o)Provision for Financial Guarantees Provided – Recognized based on the expected loss model, in an amount sufficient to cover any probable losses over the whole guarantee period. As of January 1st, 2017, it is recorded in liabilities with a counter-entry to income for the period, in accordance with CMN Resolution nº. 4,512 of July 28, 2016. Any adjustments arising from the initial application of said resolution were recorded with a counter-entry to Stockholders’ Equity.

 

p)Taxes - these provisions are calculated in accordance with current legislation at the rates shown below, using the respective calculation bases.

 

Income tax   15.00%
Additional income tax   10.00%
Social contribution (1)   20.00%
PIS (2)   0.65%
COFINS (2)   4.00%
ISS up to   5.00%
(1)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%;
(2)For non-financial subsidiaries that fall into the non-cumulative calculation system, the PIS rate is 1.65% and COFINS rate is 7.60%.

 

q)Deferred income – this refers to: (i) unexpired interest received in advance that is recognized in income as earned, and (ii) the negative goodwill on acquisition of investments arising from expected future losses, which has not been absorbed in the consolidation process.

 

r)Transactions with Non-Controlling Stockholders – Changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries, which do not result in loss of ownership control, are recorded as capital transactions, and any difference between the amount paid and the amount corresponding to the non-controlling stockholders is directly recorded in the Consolidated Stockholders` Equity.

 

s)Post-employments 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 the defined benefit obligations on the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is annually calculated by an independent actuarial consulting company using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated amount of future cash flows of benefit payments based on the Brazilian treasury long term securities denominated in Reais and with maturity periods similar to the term of the pension plan liabilities.

 

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

 

·current service cost is 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.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2017

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

 

Pension plans - defined contribution

 

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

 

Other post-employment benefit obligations

 

Certain companies that merged into ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED over the past few years were sponsors of post-employment healthcare benefit plans. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is contractually committed to maintaining these benefits over specific periods, as well as the benefits granted based on judicial rulings.

 

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

 

t)Foreign currency translation

 

I -Functional and presentation currency

 

The Consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED are presented in Reais, which is its functional and presentation currency. For each subsidiary and investment in associates and joint ventures, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED defined the functional currency, as provided for in CMN Resolution Nº 4,524, of September 29, 2016.

 

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries 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.

 

Equity in the earnings of subsidiaries abroad is recognized as follows:

 

·For those with functional currency equal to Real: Income for the period;
·For those with functional currency different to Real:
a)Income for the period; Portion related to the subsidiary’s effective income; and
b)Stockholders’ equity: Portion related to foreign exchange adjustments arising from the translation process, net of tax effects.

 

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 securities and derivative financial instruments.

 

For subsidiaries abroad with functional currency equal to Real, any operations carried out in a currency other than their respective functional currencies will be translated at the foreign currency rates of the respective trial balance or balance sheet of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED for monetary items, assets and liabilities recognized at fair or market value and for items not classified as monetary, provided that the subsidiary’s functional currency is equal to the Real. For other cases, operations are translated at the foreign exchange rate at the transaction date.

g) Derivative financial instruments

 

The globalization of the markets in recent years has resulted in a high level of sophistication of financial products used. As a result of this process, there has been increasing demand for derivative financial instruments to manage market risks, mainly arising from fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, commodities and other asset prices. Accordingly, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED operate in the derivatives markets for meeting the growing needs of their clients, as well as enacting their risk management policy. This policy is based on the use of derivative instruments to minimize the risks resulting from commercial and financial operations.

 

The derivative financial instrument business with clients is carried out after the approval of credit limits. The process of limit approval takes into consideration potential stress scenarios.

 

Knowing the client, the sector in which it operates and its risk appetite profile, in addition to providing information on the risks involved in the transaction and the negotiated conditions, ensures transparency in the relationship between the parties and the supply of a product that better meets the needs of the client.

 

The derivative transactions carried out by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED with clients are neutralized in order to eliminate market risks.

 

The derivative contracts traded by the institution with clients in Brazil include swaps, forwards, options and futures contracts, which are registered at the B3 or at the CETIP S.A. OTC Clearing House (CETIP). Overseas transactions are carried out with futures, forwards (onshore), options and swaps mostly listed on the Chicago, New York and London Exchanges. It should be emphasized that there are over-the-counter operations, but their risks are low compared to the institutions’ total. Noteworthy is also the fact that there are no structured operations based on subprime assets and all operations are based on risk factors traded on stock exchanges.

 

The main risk factors of the derivatives, assumed at 12/31/2017, were related to the foreign exchange rate, interest rate, commodities, US Dollar coupon, Reference Rate coupon, LIBOR and variable income. The management of these and other market risk factors is supported by sophisticated statistical and deterministic models. Based on this management model, the institution, through the use of transactions involving derivatives, has been able to optimize the risk-return ratios, even in highly volatile situations.

 

Most derivatives included in the institution’s portfolio are traded on stock exchanges. The prices disclosed by stock exchanges are used for these derivatives, except in cases in which the low representativeness of price due to the liquidity of a specific contract is identified. Derivatives typically valued in this way are futures contracts. Likewise, there are other instruments whose quotations (fair prices) are directly disclosed by independent institutions and which are valued based on this direct information. A substantial portion of the Brazilian government securities, highly-liquid international (public and private) securities and shares are in this situation.

 

For derivatives the prices of which are not directly disclosed by stock exchanges, fair prices are obtained based on pricing models which use market information, deducted based on the prices disclosed for higher liquidity assets. Interest and market volatility curves which provide input for the models are extracted from those prices. Over- the-counter derivatives, forward contracts and securities with limited liquidity are in this situation.

 

The total value of margins pledged in guarantee was R$ 13,436,262 (R$ 8,182,959 at 12/31/2016) and was basically composed of government securities.

j)Sensitivity analysis (trading and banking portfolios)

 

In compliance with CVM Instruction nº. 475, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED carried out a sensitivity analysis by market risk factors considered relevant. The biggest losses arising, by risk factor, in each scenario, were stated together with their impact on the results, net of tax effects, by providing an overview of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s exposure under exceptional scenarios.

 

The sensitivity analyses of the banking and the trading portfolio shown in this report are an evaluation of a static position of the portfolio exposure and, therefore, do not consider management’s quick response capacity (treasury and control areas), which triggers risk mitigating measures, whenever a situation of high loss or risk is identified by minimizing the sensitivity to significant losses. In addition, the study's sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risk and the respective protective actions, taking into account the fair value of financial instruments, irrespective of the accounting practices adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

·Scenario II: Shocks of 25 percent in interest fixed rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, for both growth and decline, considering the highest possible resulting losses per risk factor;

 

·Scenario III: Shocks of 50 percent in interest fixed rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, for both growth and decline, considering the highest possible resulting losses per risk factor.

Note 12 – Contingent assets and liabilities and legal liabilities – tax and social security

 

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.

 

In December 2017, through mediation of the Federal Attorney’s Office (AGU) and supervision of the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB), savers (represented by two civil associations, FEBRAPO and IDEC) and FEBRABAN entered into an instrument of agreement aiming at resolving lawsuits related to economic plans, and Itaú has already adhered to its terms. For effectiveness and validity of the agreement, it needs to be approved by the STF, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2018. As from that approval, the savers will have 24 months to adhere to the terms of the agreement.

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$ 3,493,532 (R$ 3,388,219 at 12/31/2016), 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$ 122,120 (R$ 78,507 at 12/31/2016).

 

-Other Risks

 

These are quantified and accrued mainly based on the evaluation of rural credit transactions with joint liability and FCVS (salary variations compensation fund) credits assigned to Banco Nacional.

(*) 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 service 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 for income tax and social contribution, due to differences between the accounting criteria and tax legislation, in addition to corporate aspects. Accordingly, we recommend that the trends for the realization of deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, income tax and social contribution loss carry forwards are not used as an indication of future net income.

 

IV-Considering the temporary effects introduced by Law nº. 13,169/15, which increased the social contribution rate to 20% through December 31, 2018, tax credits were recognized based on their likelihood of realization. As at 12/31/2017 and 12/31/2016, there are no unrecognized tax credits.

a)Shares

 

The Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on September 14, 2016 approved the increase of subscribed and paid-up capital by R$ 12,000,000, by capitalizing of the amounts recorded in Revenue Reserve – Statutory Reserve, with a 10% bonus shares. Bonus shares started being traded on October 21, 2016 and the process was approved by the Central Bank on September 23, 2016. Accordingly, capital stock was increased by 598,391,594 shares.

 

The Extraordinary Stockholders` Meeting of April 27, 2016 approved the cancellation of 100,000,000 preferred shares held in treasury, without change to the capital stock, by capitalization amounts recorded in Revenue Reserves – Statutory Reserve. This process was approved by the Central Bank of Brazil on June 7, 2016.

 

At the Meeting of the Board of Directors held on December 15, 2017, the cancellation of 31,793,105 common shares of own issue and held in treasury was approved, with no change in capital, upon capitation of the amounts recorded in Revenue Reserves – Statutory Reserve.

 

As a result of this last cancellation, capital is represented by 6,550,514,438 book-entry shares with no par value, of which 3,319,951,112 are common and 3,230,563,326 are preferred shares with no voting rights, but with tag-along rights, in the event of disposal of control, to be included in a public offering of shares, so as to ensure the price equal to eight per cent (80%) of the amount paid per share with voting rights in the controlling stake, as well as a dividend at least equal to that of the common shares. Capital amounts to R$ 97,148,000 (R$ 97,148,000 at December 31, 2016), of which R$ 65,482,470 (R$ 65,534,408 at December 31, 2016) refers to stockholders domiciled in the country and R$ 31,665,530 (R$ 31,613,592 at December 31, 2016) refers to stockholders domiciled abroad. The consequent statutory change in the number of shares will be resolved in the next Annual Stockholders’ Meeting.

b)Dividends

 

Stockholders are entitled to a mandatory dividend of not less than 25% of annual net income, which is adjusted according to the rules set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law. Both types of shares participate equally, after common shares have received dividends equal to the annual minimum priority dividend of R$ 0.022 per share (non-cumulative) to be paid to preferred shares.

 

The calculation of the monthly advance of mandatory minimum dividend is based on the share position on the last day of the prior month, taking into consideration that the payment is made on the first business day of the subsequent month, amounting to R$ 0.015 per share.

g)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.

 

From 01/01 to 12/31/2017, the accounting effect of the share-based payment in income was R$ (536,461) (R$ (590,925) from 01/01 to 12/31/2016).

 

I –Stock Option Plan (Simple Options)

 

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

 

In addition to the awards 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., Unibanco Holdings S.A. and Redecard S.A. 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 inflation-adjusted 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 B3.

 

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 B3 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 B3, 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 variation. 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 regulation.

 

The acquisition prices of own shares and Share-Based Instruments are established every six months and are 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$ 32.33 per share at 12/31/2017 (R$ 19.45 per share at 12/31/2016).

 

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, with conform with this new legislation.

III- Variable Compensation

 

The policy established in compliance with CMN Resolution nº. 3,921/10 sets forth that fifty percent (50%) of the management’s variable compensation should be paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) should be paid in shares for a period of three 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$ 38.23 per share at 12/31/2017 (R$ 21.96 per share at 12/31/2016).

To obtain the market values for these financial instruments, the following criteria were adopted:

 

·Interbank investments were determined based on their nominal amounts, monetarily restated as at their maturity dates and discounted to present value using future market interest rates and swap market rates for fixed-rate securities and using market interest rates for fixed-rate securities, achieved up to the closing of B3 at the balance sheet date, for floating-rate securities;

 

·Securities and derivative financial instruments, according to the rules established by Circulars nº. 3,068 and 3,082 of November 8, 2001 and January 30, 2002, respectively, issued by BACEN, are recorded at their market values, except for those classified as Held to Maturity. Government securities allocated in this category have their market value calculated based on the rates obtained in the market, and validated through the comparison with information provided by the National Association of Financial Market Institutions (ANBIMA). Private securities included in this category have their market value calculated using a criterion similar to the one adopted for Investments in Interbank Deposits, as described above;

 

·Loans with maturities over 90 days, when available, were calculated based on the net present value of future cash flows discounted at market interest rates effective on the balance sheet date;

 

·Investments - in companies B3 and Porto Seguro at the share value quoted on stock exchanges.

 

·Time and interbank deposits and funds from the acceptance and issuance of securities and foreign borrowing through securities, when available, were calculated based on their present value determined by future cash flows discounted at market rates obtained at the closing of B3 on the balance sheet date;

 

·Subordinated debt, based on the net present value of future fixed or floating cash flows in foreign currency, net of the market interest rates effective on the balance sheet date and considering the credit risk of the issuer. The floating cash flows are estimated from the interest curves of the indexation market places;

 

·Treasury shares are valued according to the average quotation available on the last trading day of the month or, if this is not available, according to the most recent quotation on prior trading days, published in the daily bulletin of each Stock Exchange.

I - Main assumptions used in actuarial valuation of Retirement Plans

 

  12/31/2017   12/31/2016
Discount rate (1) 9.98% p.a.   10.24% p.a.
Mortality table (2) AT-2000   AT-2000
  Itaú Experience   Itaú Experience
Turnover (3) 2008/2010   2008/2010
Future salary growth 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.
Inflation 4.00 % p.a.   4.00 % p.a.
Actuarial method (4) Projected Unit Credit   Projected Unit Credit

 

(1)     The adoption of this assumption is based on interest rates obtained from the actual interest curve in IPCA, for medium term liabilities of retirement plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED. At 12/31/2017 assumption 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 ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, resulting in the average of 2.4% p.a. based on the 2008/2010 experience;

 

(4)     Using the Projected Unit Credit, the mathematical reserve is determined based on the current projected benefit amount multiplied by the ratio between the length of service in the company 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.

 

The main differences between the assumptions above and those adopted upon determination of the actuarial liability of defined benefit plans, for the purposes of recording in the balance sheet of the closed-end private pension entities (EFPCs) that manage them, are the discount rate and the actuarial method. Regarding the discount rate assumption, EFPCs adopt a rate consistent with the flow of receipts/payments, in accordance with the study conducted by an independent external consulting company. Regarding the actuarial method, the aggregate method is adopted, by which the mathematical reserve is defined based on the difference between the present value of the projected benefit and the present value of future contributions, subject to the methodology defined in the respective actuarial technical note.

 

II- Risk Exposure

 

Due to its defined benefit plans, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED 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 based on the income related to securities issued by the Brazilian treasury (government securities). If the actual income related to plan investments 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 plan benefits 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 EFPC funds is to search for a long term balance between assets and obligations to pay of retirement benefits, by exceeding the actuarial targets (discount rate plus benefit adjustment index, established in the plan regulations).

 

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

 

At 12/31/2017 and 12/31/2016 the allocation of plan assets and the allocation target for 2018, by type of asset, are as follows:

 

   Fair value   % Allocation 
Types  12/31/2017   12/31/2016   12/31/2017   12/31/2016   2018 Target 
Fixed income securities   16,851,242    15,134,389    95.81%   91.61%   53% to 100% 
Variable income securities   18,986    684,786    0.11%   4.15%   0% to 20% 
Structured investments   24,477    9,013    0.14%   0.05%   0% to 10% 
Real estate   614,683    622,598    3.49%   3.77%   0% to 7% 
Loans to participants   78,855    69,259    0.45%   0.42%   0% to 5% 
Total   17,588,243    16,520,045    100.00%   100.00%   

 

The defined benefit plan assets include shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, its main parent company (ITAÚSA) and of subsidiaries of the latter, with a fair value of R$ 11,614 (R$ 575,255 at 12/31/2016), and real estate rented to Group companies, with a fair value of R$ 530,998 (R$ 596,781 at 12/31/2016).

 

Fair value - the fair value of the plan assets is adjusted up to the balance sheet date, as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

Real Estate – stated at acquisition or construction cost, adjusted to market value based on reappraisals made in 2017, supported by technical appraisal reports. Depreciation is calculated under the straight line method, considering the useful life of the real estate.

 

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

 

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

 

IV- Net amount recognized in the balance sheet

 

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

 

   12/31/2017   12/31/2016

(1) Corresponds to the amount calculated on 01/01/2017 based on the beginning amount (Net Assets, Actuarial Liabilities and Restriction of Assets), taking into account the estimated amount of payments/ receipts of benefits/ contributions, multiplied by the discount rate of 10.24% p.a.(On 01/01/2016 the rate used was 11.28% p.a.);

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

(3) The actual return on assets amounted to R$ 2,124,072 (R$ 3,791,023 at 12/31/2016).

 

During the period, contributions made totaled R$ 71,453 (R$ 148,771 from 01/01 to 12/31/2016). The contribution rate increases based on the beneficiary’s salary.

 

In 2018, the expected contribution to retirement plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is R$ 55,682.

 

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

 

   Estimated

d)Defined contribution plans

 

The defined contribution plans have pension funds set up using the portion of sponsors’ contributions not included in the participant’s accounts balance and by the loss of eligibility to a plan benefit, as well as by resources from the migration from the defined benefit plans. The fund will be used for future contributions to the individual participants' accounts, according to the rules of the respective benefit plan regulation.

e)Other post-employment benefits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED do not offer other post-employment benefits, except in those cases arising from obligations under acquisition agreements signed by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED, 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 CONSOLIDATED are as follows:

 

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

II - Sensitivity Analyses - Cost of Healthcare

 

For calculation of benefits obligations projected beyond the assumptions used for the defined benefit plans (Note 19c l), the 8.16% p.a. increase in medical costs assumption is adopted.

 

Assumptions for rates related to medical assistance costs have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in income. A change of one percentage point in the medical assistance cost rates would have the following effects:

 

 

   Recognition  1% increase   1% decrease 
Service cost and cost of interest  Income   3,162    (3,000)
Present value of obligation  Asset valuation adjustment   31,686    (26,453)

Note 21 – Risk and capital management

 

Assuming and managing risks is one of the activities carried out by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED and, accordingly, the institution should have established objectives for risk management. Accordingly, the risk appetite defines the nature and level of risks acceptable for the institution and the risk culture guides the attitudes required to manage them. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED seeks robust process for risk management, which permeate the whole institution and that are the basis for strategic decisions to assure the sustainability of business

 

These processes are 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 units. Control and capital management units, in turn, support the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s management by monitoring and analyzing risk and capital.

 

The principles providing the foundations for management of risk, risk appetite and guidelines on how ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s employees should behave on the day-to-day for decision-making purposes are as follows:

 

·Sustainability and Client Satisfaction: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s vision is to be the leading bank in sustainable performance and client satisfaction and, therefore, it is committed to creating shared value to employees, clients, stockholders, and society, ensuring the continuity of business. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED is committed to do business that is good both for the client and the institution itself.
·Risk Culture: The institution’s risk culture goes beyond policies, procedures or processes, as it strengthens the individual and collective responsibility of all employees so they do the right thing at the right moment and on the proper way, by respecting the ethical way of doing business. The Risk Culture is described below.
·Risk Pricing: ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED acts and assumes risks in business it knows and understands, avoiding risks that are unknown to the institution or that do not have a competitive edge, therefore carefully assessing the risk-return ratio.
·Diversification: the institution’s appetite is low with respect to volatility in results and, therefore, it operates with a diversified base of clients, products and business, seeking to diversify risks and giving priority to lower risk business.

Aiming to strengthen these values and align ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s employees’ behavior with its risk management guidelines, the institution adopts a number of initiatives to disseminate the risk culture. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s risk culture is based on four basic principles: conscious risk-taking, discussion of the risks the institution faces, the corresponding action taken, and the responsibility of everyone to manage risks.

 

These principles lay down the basis for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s guidelines by helping employees to consciously understand, identify, measure, manage and mitigate risks.

 

In addition to policies, procedures and processes, the risk culture strengthens the individual and collective responsibility of employees in the management of risks inherent in the activities performed individually, respecting the ethical way of managing business.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED promotes the risk culture, emphasizing the behavior that will help people in any level of the institution to assume and manage risk on a responsible way. With these principles disseminated by the institution, there is an incentive for the risk to be understood and discussed frankly, maintained within the limits established for risk appetite, and so that each employee, regardless of their position, area or function, also assumes responsibility for managing risks of their business.

Further details on risk management can be found on the website www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, under section Corporate Governance / Risk Management and Capital – Pillar 3.

 

I – 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.

 

Market Risk Management Policy is in line with the principles of Resolution nº. 3,464, issued by the National Monetary Council (CMN) and posterior amendments, being a set of principles that drive strategy towards control and management of market risk of all institution.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED’s market risk management strategy is aimed at balancing corporate business goals, taking into account, among other things:

 

·Political, economic and market conditions;
·Portfolio profile of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED;
·Expertise within the group to support operations in specific markets.

 

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

 

·Providing visibility and assurance to all executive levels that the assumption of market risks is in line with ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED risk-return objective;
·Promoting a disciplined and informed discussion on the global risk profile and its evolution over time;
·Increasing transparency on the way the business seeks to optimize results;
·Providing early warning mechanisms in order to make the effective risk management easier, without jeopardizing the business purposes; and
·Monitoring and avoiding risk concentration.

 

The market risk 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 CONSOLIDATED, (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.

 

The National Monetary Council (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. Brazilian inflation indexes are treated as a group of risk indicators and receive the same treatment given to other risk indicators.

 

The structure of limits and warnings is in line with the Board of Directors’ guidelines, and it is reviewed and approved on an annual basis. This structure has specific limits aiming at improving the risk monitoring and understanding process, and at avoiding concentration. These limits are quantified by assessing the forecasted results of the balance sheet, size of stockholders’ equity, liquidity, market complexity and volatility, as well as the institution’s appetite for risk.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2017

In order to set up operations within the defined limits, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED hedges transactions with clients and proprietary positions, including its foreign investments. Derivatives are commonly used for these hedging activities, and can be characterized as accounting or economic hedge, both governed by the institutional polices of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED.

 

For a detailed vision of the accounting hedge topic, see Note 7 – Securities and Derivative Financial Instruments.

 

The market risk structure categorizes transactions as part of either the banking portfolio or the trading portfolio, in accordance with general criteria established by CMN Resolution nº. 3,464 and BACEN Circular nº. 3,354. The trading portfolio consists of all transactions involving financial instruments and goods, including derivatives, which are carried out with the intention of trading. The banking portfolio is basically characterized by transactions from the banking business, and transactions related to the management of the balance sheet of the institution. It has the no-intention of resale and medium and long term time horizons as general guidelines.

 

Market risk management analyses is conducted based on the following metrics:

 

·Value at risk (VaR): statistical measure that estimates the expected maximum potential economic loss under normal market conditions, considering a certain time horizon and confidence level;
·Losses in stress scenarios: 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);
·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 instrument or risk factor, calculated at market value (“MtM – Mark to Market”); and
·Stressed VaR: statistical metric arising from VaR calculation, which purpose is to capture higher risk in simulations for the trading portfolio, considering returns that can be seen in historical scenarios of extreme volatility.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. – Complete Financial Statements – December 31, 2017

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

 

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

 

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

 

·Sensitivity to several risk factors (Greeks): partial derivatives of an option portfolio in relation to the prices of underlying assets, implied volatilities, interest rates and time.

  

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED uses proprietary systems to measure the consolidated market risk. The processing of these systems occurs 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.

 

At December 31, 2017, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED posted a Total VaR of R$ 372.3 million (R$ 329.8 million at December 31, 2016). The growth in Total VaR Total noted as compared to the prior year was mainly due to the increase of interest rate exposure.

There is a credit risk control and management structure, centralized and independent from the business units, that provides for operational limits and risk mitigating mechanisms, in addition for establishing processes and tools to measure, monitor and control the credit risk inherent in all products, portfolio concentrations and the impacts from potential changes in the economic environment.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED establishes its credit policy based on internal factors, such as client rating criteria, performance of and changes in portfolio, default levels, return rates, and allocated economic capital, among others, also considering external factors, such as interest rates, market default indicators, inflation, changes in consumption, among others.

 

To protect the institution against losses arising from loan operations, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED considers all aspects that determine the client’s credit risk to define a provision level that is adequate with the risk incurred in each operation. For each operation, the assessment and rating of the client or economic group, the operation rating, and the possible existence of past-due amounts are taken into account and the volume of the regulatory provision is determined.

IV – Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the institution’s possibility of not being able to efficiently meet its expected and unexpected obligations, both current and future, including those arising from the pledged guarantees, without affecting its daily operations and without incurring significant losses.

 

The control over liquidity risk is carried out by an area independent from the business area and responsible for establishing the reserve composition, estimating the cash flow and exposure to liquidity risk in different horizons of time, and monitoring the minimum limits to absorb losses in stress scenarios for each country where ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING CONSOLIDATED operates. All activities are subject to verification by the independent validation, internal control and audit areas.

This ratio is calculated based on a methodology defined by the Central Bank of Brazil itself, and is in line with international guidelines of Basel.

 

The summarized index calculation is presented in the table below. In 2017, the index minimum requirement is 80%. Further details on the LCR for the period may be accessed at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, section Corporate Governance/ Capital and Risk Management - Pillar 3.

SUMMARY OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

SECOND SEMESTER OF 2017

 

The Audit Committee (Committee) is a statutory advisory body that reports directly to the Board of Directors (Board). It is currently composed of six members, one of whom is part of the Board, and all of them are effective and independent members, elected by the Board for a one-year term of office. The Committee serves as the sole vehicle for all companies of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate (Conglomerate) in Brazil, in which the appointment of an Audit Committee is required, including insurance, pension plan and capitalization companies.

 

In accordance with its Charter (available on website http://www.itau.com.br/investor-relations), the Committee is responsible for the oversight of the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Conglomerate, for the compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, for the activity, independence and quality of the services rendered by the independent auditors and by the Internal Audit, and for the quality and effectiveness of the internal controls and risk management systems of the Conglomerate.

 

The assessments made by the Committee are based on information received from Management and on the presentations carried out by different officers of the business and support areas, as well as on the results of the work performed by the independent auditors, Internal Audit, and those responsible for risk management, capital management, internal controls and compliance, and on its own analysis resulting from direct observation.

 

Management is responsible for preparing the financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and of its subsidiaries and affiliates and for establishing the procedures required to ensure the quality of the processes that generate the information used for preparation of financial statements and financial reports. Management is also responsible for risk control and monitoring, supervising the company’s internal controls and compliance activities, and for overseeing the compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

 

The Conglomerate’s internal controls management and coordination are the responsibility of the Operational Risk and Compliance Executive Area (DEROC), which also works in the implementation and operation of the operational risk management framework.

 

The Internal Audit mission is to assess the quality and conformity of the internal control and risk management systems, as well as the compliance with defined policies and procedures, including those adopted for preparation of financial and accounting reports.

 

PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes (PwC) is responsible for the independent audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements and for attesting whether those statements fairly represent, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of the Conglomerate, and the individual and consolidated performance of its operations, in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and it is also responsible for auditing the financial statements of the Prudential Conglomerate. The independent auditors should also annually issue an opinion on the quality and effectiveness of the internal controls related to financial reports, including risk management and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

 

Activities of the Committee

 

The Committee’s annual work plan is prepared at the beginning of each fiscal year, considering the main products and processes of businesses of the Conglomerate and their potential impact on the financial statements and the internal control and risk management system, and is revised from time to time as activities progress. Significant issues to be included in the planning are identified through this analysis, with the schedule of activities adjusted based on the approach given to these issues. Among the significant issues identified in the period and related actions adopted, we highlight:

 

·Monitoring regulatory and normative changes – Reporting to the Committee significant activities in the discussion, implementation, and assessment of potential impacts arising from CMN Resolutions 4539/2016, 4557/2017, 4588/2017 and 4595/2017, and from IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments;

 

·Information Technology – Holding meetings to discuss the procedures adopted to cover operational risk events;

·Information Security, Anti-Money Laundering and Fraud Prevention and Inspectorship activities - Holding meetings with the responsible areas;

 

·Business Areas – Monitoring of risk management and the control environment;

 

·Foreign Units – Focusing on the follow-up of Itaú CorpBanca integration process, in addition to holding meetings with the business and support areas and Audit Committees of foreign units;

·Client Relations – Monitoring of the work developed by the Ombudsman and business areas to identify themes that impact clients, the root cause of complaints and respective corrective actions; and

 

·Internal Audit Planning – Monitoring the proposed action, structure and relevante matters related to the future vision on Internal.

 

In compliance with its duties, the Committee carried out, among other, the following activities:

 

Risk Management, Internal Controls and Compliance - In meetings held with the responsible areas, the Committee monitored significant issues related to the risk management and capital management framework of the Conglomerate, with emphasis on credit, market, and operational risks. The Committee also monitored the compliance policy and the evolution of the Conglomerate’s internal control system at meetings with DEROC and through engagements carried out by Internal Audit. In this period the Committee performed the annual evaluation of DEROC.

 

Independent Audit – The Committee has a regular communication channel with the independent auditors to widely discuss their work and significant accounting matters, allowing members to support their opinion on the integrity of financial statements and financial reports.

 

Issues related to the assessment of the quality and adequacy of the internal controls system and of the compliance with legal and regulatory provisions by the entities of the Conglomerate were submitted to and discussed with the Committee at its meetings.

 

Engaging services from the independent auditors requires the prior approval from the Committee, which assesses the risks of loss of independence and conflicts of interest.

 

Internal Audit – The Committee met on a monthly basis with Internal Audit representatives to discuss the work performed, reports issued, conclusions and recommendations. In this period the Committee performed the annual evaluation of Internal Audit.

 

Financial Statements – The significant criteria involved in the preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements, notes to the financial statements and financial reports published together with the individual and consolidated financial statements were presented to the Committee by Management and the independent auditors. The Committee also monitored the preparation and disclosure of the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

 

Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Companies – As required by the Conselho Nacional de Seguros Privados (National Private Pension Council) regulations, the Committee monitored the companies supervised by the Superintendence of Private Insurance (Itaú Seguros S.A., Itauseg Seguradora S.A., Itaú Vida e Previdência S.A., and Cia Itaú de Capitalização), and the activities described in this Summary include the issues relevant to these companies.

 

Consumer matter– The Committee has a agenda of meetings with the business and support areas to monitor consumer-related topics. As part of these activities, the Committee was able to be informed about the client service activities carried out by the Ombudsman and discuss, in compliance with regulatory requirements, the half-yearly Ombudsman’s Report.

 

Regulators – The Committee took notice of the reports on inspections and of comments made by regulators, monitored the respective actions carried out by Management, and prepared, whenever required, reports to the Board of Directors, summarizing the actions taken, the level of attention required and its own comments on any actions adopted. In this period, the Committee held meetings with supervisors of the Central Bank of Brazil/Desup (Department of supervision of banks and banking conglomerates) and Central Bank of Brazil/Decon (Department of conduct supervision).

 

Meetings held in the period

 

For purposes of carrying out the aforementioned activities and procedures, the Committee held a total of 113 meetings, duly formalized in minutes, in 28 days from August 16, 2017 to January 31, 2018.

  Report of independent auditor on the parent company and consolidated financial statements
   
  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 parent company and consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
     
  Our audit in 2017 was planned and executed considering that the operations of Bank and Consolidated did not present significant modifications in relation to the previous year. In this context, the Key Audit Matters, as well as our audit approach, have remained substantially in line with those of the previous year, except for the exclusion of the matter related to the acquisition of control of CorpBanca, since it refers to an event of the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2016.

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

Allowance for loan and lease losses (Notes 4f and 8)

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries has diversified its business with an impact on the change in the composition of the loan portfolio in recent years, focusing on the origination of products with lower credit risk. In 2017, the calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is still a sensitive matter subject to management's judgment. The identification of situations relating to 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.

 

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 area continued to be a 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; 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 meet the assumptions and the standards of the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) and National Monetary Council (CMN) as well as the disclosures in notes to 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 expected future cash flows, underlying guarantees, and the estimates of recovery of overdue receivables.

 

For the allowance for loan losses calculated on a collective basis (retail segment), we tested the underlying models, including the model approval process and the validation of the assumptions used to determine the loss and recovery estimates, as well as the consistency of the models with those applied in previous periods.

 

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.

 

 

 

  

  Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

  Why it is a Key Audit Matter   How the matter was addressed in the audit
       
      We believe that the criteria and assumptions adopted by Management in determining and recording the allowance for loan losses are appropriate and consistent in all material respects in the context of the financial statements.
       
       
 

Measurement of the fair value of financial instruments and derivatives with little liquidity and without active market- (Notes 4c, 4d and 7)

 

The fair value measurement of financial instruments with little liquidity and without an active market requires subjectivity, considering that it depends on valuation techniques based on internal models that involve management's assumptions for their valuation. In addition, management of market risk is complex, especially during periods of high volatility and when observable market prices or parameters are not available. These financial instruments are substantially comprised of investments in securities issued by companies and derivative contracts.

 

This continues as an area of focus our audit since the utilization of different valuation techniques and assumptions could lead to materially different fair value estimates.

 

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

 

We analyzed the methodology used 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 as well as evaluated the consistency of these methodologies with the ones applied in prior periods.

 

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. Technology represents a fundamental aspect on Itaú Unibanco's business evolution and 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, as well as risks related to information security and cybersecurity. Accordingly, as in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, 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 audit procedures applied resulted in appropriate evidence that was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of other audit procedures, and we believe that the processes and controls of the information technology environment have provided a satisfactory basis to be used in the outcome of our audit of the financial statements.

 

       
       
 

Deferred tax assets (Note 14 b)

 

The deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, tax losses carryforward and negative basis of social contribution are recorded to the extent 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 continue to consider that this area requires audit focus, taking into account that using 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 assets and the recording of such credits in accordance with the accounting standards and specific requirements of BACEN and CMN, 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 main 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 believe that the assumptions adopted by Management in the determination and recording of tax credits are appropriate and consistent with the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.

Realization of amounts recorded on intangible assets (Notes 4k and 15 b)

 

The balances of intangible assets are tested semiannually for impairment. These tests involve 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 continue to consider this as an area of audit focus due to: (i) projection of future results, in which the use of different assumptions can significantly modify the perspective of realization of these assets and the possible need to record impairment with consequent impact on the financial statements (ii) the relevance of intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Itaú Corpbanca.

 

We have tested the design and effectiveness of the main established controls, including the analysis of the assumptions and critical judgments used by Management

 

We analyzed the projections for the determination of impairment of intangible assets as prepared by management, focusing on the most representative cases, such as intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Itaú Corpbanca, in order to corroborate the reasonableness of these realization estimates.

 

We believe that the assumptions adopted by Management to evaluate the realization of intangible assets are appropriate and the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements are consistent with the information obtained.

 

       
       
 

Provision for contingent liabilities (Notes 4n and 12)

 

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 involve 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 are made to settle proceedings in advance.

 

In addition, in 2017, a labor reform was approved and an agreement instrument for the termination of civil legal proceedings related to economic plans was signed, which will be valid after homologation by the Federal Supreme Court.

 

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.

 

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 civil and labor natures considered on a group basis. We were supported by our specialists in the labor, legal, and fiscal areas, according to the nature of each proceeding.

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

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.

 

In this context, we continue to 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.

       

 

  Others matters
   
  Statements of Value Added
   
  The parent company and consolidated Statements of Value Added for the six-month period and the year ended December 31, 2017, prepared under the responsibility of the Bank's management, which presentation is required by the Brazilian Corporate Law for listed companies and treated as supplementary information for purposes of BACEN, were submitted to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the 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 parent company and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

  

  Other information accompanying the parent company and consolidated financial statements and the auditor's report
   
  The Bank’s management is responsible for the other information which comprise the Management Report and the Operation Management Analysis Report.
   
  Our opinion on the parent company and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management report or the Operation Management Analysis Report, and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.
   
  In connection with the audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and the Operation Management Analysis Report and, in doing so, consider whether these reports are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in the Management Report or in the Operation Management Analysis 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 parent company and consolidated financial statements
   
  Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to institutions authorized to operate by BACEN, 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 parent company and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank's and its subsidiaries ability to continue as going concerns, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank and its subsidiaries 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 parent company and consolidated financial statements
   
  Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company or 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 parent company and 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 the Bank and the Consolidated.

 

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 Bank's and it's subsidiaries ability to continue as going concerns. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the parent company and consolidated 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 Bank and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as going concerns.

  

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company and 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 Consolidated to express an opinion on the parent company and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

  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 that we communicated to 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 parent company and consolidated financial statements of the current period 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.
