Lima, Peru, May 05, 2016 – Credicorp (NYSE:BAP) announced its unaudited results for the first quarter of 2016. These results are consolidated and reported in Soles according to IFRS.

 

First Quarter Results 2016

 

Credicorp reported net income of S/795.6 million in 1Q16, which represented an ROAE and ROAA of 19.4% and 2.0% respectively. After extracting the translation loss of S/ 27.6 million (net of tax), the result shows net recurring income of S/823.3 million. This represented growth of +7.0% QoQ and +18.3% YoY and recurring ROAE and ROAA of 20.2% and 2.1% respectively.

 

The main factors that explain 1Q16’s results are:

 

·                The +1.3% QoQ and +12.1% YoY expansion in quarter-end loan balances, which represented growth, adjusted for the exchange rate, of +2.3% QoQ and +9.2% YoY. The QoQ increase in loans was led by the Corporate Banking, SME-Business and Mortgage segments.

 

·               The -1.5% QoQ decrease in net interest income (NII) was due to a drop in income from forwards and a slight contraction in interest income on loans, all of which were accentuated by higher interest expenses on deposits. In the YoY evolution, which does not include the seasonal effect on loans, NII reported a +9.0% increase due to higher interest income from Mibanco and BCP Stand-alone, which in turn offset the lower income in the forward business.

 

·                The net interest margin (NIM) was 5.33%, which represented a -22 bps contraction QoQ and -40 bps YoY, which was mainly due to (i) the increase in interest expenses in a scenario marked by an upward trend in rates; (ii) loan expansion, mainly in low-margin segments such as Wholesale Banking and Mortgage; and (iii) the strategy to improve the risk profile, which implied an interest rate reduction. The last factor was reflected in a less significant drop in NIM after provisions of -5 bps QoQ and -3 bps YoY.

 

·                The contraction in net provisions of -9.8% QoQ and -9.7% YoY was due to low growth in gross provisions for loan losses and to an increase in reversals of provisions, which was in line with an improvement in the quality of new vintages in the Mibanco, SME-Pyme and Wholesale Banking portfolios. The cost of risk fell, situating at 1.98%, which was much lower than the 2.23% reported in 4Q15 and the 2.46% observed in 1Q15.

 

·                The -3.3% QoQ decrease in non-financial income was associated with lower fee income and a decrease in gains on foreign exchange transactions. YoY, non-financial income fell -13.2% due to lower gains on FX transactions. Nevertheless if we remove the effect of non-recurring income in 1Q15, the result increases +0.5% AaA.

 

·                The insurance underwriting result fell -11.5% QoQ, which was due mainly to an increase in the acquisition cost in the Property & Casualty (P&C) and Life lines. This was partially offset by an increase in net earned premiums and a decrease in the loss ratio in P&C. YoY, the underwriting result increased +23.6% due to growth in the net earned premium, which was primarily attributable to the P&C business. In this scenario, the combined ratio rose +420 bps QoQ and fell -170 bps YoY.

 

·                The efficiency ratio improved 220 bps QoQ due to the significant reduction in operating expenses that offset the slight decrease in operating income. The former reflects the lower level of administrative and general expenses in BCP Stand-alone due to the seasonality that they have in every 4Q. YoY, the efficiency ratio grew +40 bps due to higher salaries and employees benefits, which reflect mainly the effect of business expansion on variable remunerations, and in a lesser extent the slight deterioration in the efficiency of other subsidiaries of Credicorp.

BCP Consolidated posted a contribution to Credicorp of S/673 million, which represented growth of +1.9% QoQ and +18 % YoY. The evolution this quarter was due primarily to a significant drop in net provisions for loan losses and in operating expenses QoQ. The two factors offset the slight reduction in NII and in non-financial income, as well as, translation losses. In this context, ROAE at BCP Consolidated was situated at 23.6% in1Q16, which was very close to the 23.4% registered in 4Q15 and the 23.8% registered in 1Q15.

 

Mibanco reported a net contribution to Credicorp of S/71.4 million (+32.6% QoQ) and an ROAE of 22.6% at the end of 1Q16. Better results this QoQ were due primarily to: (1) a lower cost of risk due to better risk quality of the loan book, and (2) higher NII that was mainly due to loan growth in small and micro business segments QoQ, which offset the increase in the funding cost. Operating expenses increased due to higher expenses to maintain systems and for the back-to-school campaign. The efficiency ratio at Mibanco was situated at 57.9% at the end of 1Q16 (+80 bps QoQ).

BCP Bolivia reported a contribution of S/20.8 million in 1Q16, which represented growth of +39.2% QoQ. This led to an ROAE of 14.5% in 1Q16 (vs 10.8% in 4Q15). The improvement in the bank’s contribution was due to: (i) growth in non-financial income due to higher gains on sales of securities; (ii) the increase in net interest income, which was attributable to loan growth; (iii) and the drop in operating expenses given that the Tax on the Sale of Foreign Currency (IVME) was eliminated at the end of 4Q15. All of the aforementioned helped offset: (i) the increase in provisions for loan losses, which was attributable to deterioration in portfolio quality; and (ii) higher income taxes due to an increase in the nominal rate for income tax, which was increased from 37.5% to 47.0% for the fiscal year 2016 an on. Finally, loans increased +3.1% QoQ, which represented a market share of 9.0% and situated BCP Bolivia as the fourth bank in the Bolivian financial system in terms of loans at the end of 1Q16.

 

In 1Q16, Grupo Pacifico reported a contribution of S/67.4 million, which represented an increase of 8.9% QoQ. The insurance market’s dynamism in 1Q16 was due mainly to a higher financial income stemming from growth in gains on investments in the Life insurance business and lower general expenses. It is important to note that in 1Q15 and 4Q15, non-recurring income/expenses were registered due to the agreement between Banmedica and Grupo Pacífico (S/107 million and -S/7.6 million, respectively). In this context, recurring ROAE was situated at 13.3% in 1Q16 vs.15.5% in 4Q15 and 12.1% in 1Q15.

 

In 1Q16, Prima AFP’s contribution to Credicorp was S/39.8 million. This represented an increase of +3.6% QoQ. The aforementioned translated into an ROAE of 30.3% for the quarter. Operating earnings increased slightly QoQ due to an increase in fee income. The operating efficiency ratio fell slightly (44.9% in 1Q16 vs. 43.3% in 4Q15) due to higher general expenses. Funds under management at Prima AFP totaled S/ 40,086 million, which represents a market share of 31.8% of total FuM in the system.

 

Credicorp Capital reported a contribution to Credicorp of S/16.8 million. This was mainly attributable to an increase in non-financial income. This growth was due to good levels of net gains on sales of securities, which were driven mainly by the excellent trading results posted by International Fixed Income, and subsequent dealings with these clients, as well as by an improvement in market conditions. This evolution offset the result for net gains on FX transactions and lower fee income in the QoQ comparison. In this context, ROAE at the end of 1Q16 was 11.7%.

 

ASB registered a contribution to Credicorp of -S/4.4 million in 1Q16. This was due to: (i) a decrease in the investment volume, which subsequently generated less interest in 1Q16 and (ii) the drop in total income (dividends, fees and gains on FX transactions). In this context, the efficiency ratio was 24.7% while ROAE was situated at -2.5%.

1.Interest-earning assets (IEA)

 

IEA grew +2.8% QoQ. This was primarily due to expansion in investments available for sale and in trading securities followed by growth in the bank’s most profitable asset, total loans. The nominal increase of +1.3% QoQ in total loans represented growth of +2.3% QoQ if we remove exclude the effect of the 2.5% appreciation in the Sol against the US Dollar. Loan growth was due primarily to expansion in the Corporate Banking, SME-Business and Mortgage segments.

 

Interest earning assets  Quarter   Change 
S/. 000  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16   QoQ   YoY 
BCRP and other banks   21,767,800    28,470,897    28,283,345    -0.7%   29.9%

1.1Evolution of IEA

 

Total loans, the most profitable asset, continued to represent the largest share of IEA (61.8% in 1Q16 vs. 62.7% in 4Q15). This was in line with loan expansion of 1.3% QoQ and FX-adjusted growth of +2.3% QoQ given the appreciation of the Sol against the US Dollar in a context where the level of loan dollarization at Credicorp, as of the end of March, was situated at 39.4%.

 

Loan growth QoQ was due to expansion in Wholesale Banking and Retail Banking loans. Wholesale Banking saw noteworthy growth in Corporate Banking while the expansion in Retail Banking was led by the SME-Business and Mortgage segments, as we will explain later in the report. It is also important to note that the first semester of the year tends to be less dynamic in terms of loan expansion given that in the second half of the year, the bank conducts its most important financing campaigns for high- margin segments such as Mibanco and SME-Pyme.

 

The share of investments in total IEA rose from 17.4% in 4Q15 to 19.1% in 1Q16. The increase in investments available for sale (+10.4% QoQ) was associated with growth in investments in BCP’s Certificates of Deposit (CDs) with BCRP. The aforementioned offset the decline in investments at ASB following the implementation of a strategy to rebalance the portfolio, through which investments available for sale were registered as investments held-to-maturity. Trading securities increased +30.6% QoQ, as a result of the decision to invest more heavily in fixed income in Credicorp Capital Ltd. and to higher equity investments by Credicorp Capital Colombia and IM Trust. The increase in investments held-to-maturity (+11.8% QoQ) was associated due mainly to the rebalancing strategy at ASB, mentioned above. BCP also slightly increased its position in sovereign bonds.

 

BCRP and other banks remained stable QoQ (-0.7%). It is important to note that BCP requires a high level of operating cash to cover its network of points of contact across the country.

 

In the YoY analysis, the 16.8% expansion in IEAs was due mainly to:

 

-Growth of +12.1% in loans, which was led by loan growth in Wholesale Banking and in the SME-Business and SME-Pyme segments in Retail Banking. In 1Q16, FX-adjusted growth was situated at 9.2%, which reflected the +7.4% YoY appreciation in the US Dollar;

 

-The increase of +29.9% in BCRP and other banks, which mainly reflects the fact that the bank has increased its use of BCRP instruments, substitution and expansion repos in particular. Under both schemes, repo transactions generate a restricted deposit in BCRP, which explains a significant portion of IEA growth. In Credicorp’s case, these transactions were only conducted by BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco; and

 

-An increase in the level of investments due to more investment in CDs and sovereign bonds at BCP.

Highest growth in volumes

Largest contraction in volumes

 

Expansion in Wholesale Banking loans at BCP Stand-alone was due to growth in Corporate Banking, which helped offset the contraction in Middle-Market banking:

 

(i)Expansion in Corporate Banking QoQ was due primarily to the portfolio denominated in LC, which was in turn attributable to an increase in financing for working capital and for mid and long-term loans. This offset the QoQ decrease in the FC portfolio. The aforementioned was reflected in the drop of the dollarization level of the Corporate Banking portfolio, which fell from 50.9% in 4Q15 to 48.0% in 1Q16. Nevertheless, it is important to note that in March, Corporate Banking reported an increase in the FC portfolio, which was mainly attributable to working capital financing.

 

(ii)The contraction in Middle-Market loans was seen in both the LC and FC portfolios and was basically due to a decrease in working capital financing. This was due to the segmentation of the portfolio, at the beginning of the year, through which Middle-Market banking clients were transferred to SME – Business according to their levels of sales or debt.

 

In YoY terms, growth in Wholesale Banking (+15.8%) was due to an increase in LC loans, which was mainly evident in Corporate Banking and in line with de-dollarization efforts, as we will discuss later in the report.

 

With regard to the Retail Banking portfolio at BCP Stand-alone, it is important to consider the seasonal effect that makes loans more dynamic in the second half of the year following Christmas campaigns. Growth of +1.4% QoQ in Retail Banking was due to loan expansion in LC, primarily in the SME-Business, Mortgage and Credit Card segments. The portfolios for the SME-Business and Consumer segments remained stable QoQ. The variations by business segment in Retail Banking were due to the following:

 

(i)The SME-business segment led loan growth QoQ in Retail Banking. This was due mainly to an expansion in the LC portfolio, which reflects on-going efforts to de-dollarize this segment. The QoQ increase is due primarily to the transferred of clients from Middle-Market Banking and SME-Pyme clients, whose sales or debt levels qualified them for SME-business segment.

 

It is important to note that the loans granted in this segment continue to be highly collateralized by commercial real estate. The level of collateral is approximately 73% as for March 2016. Furthermore, the maximum tenor of these loans is 90 days.

(ii)The increase in the Mortgage segment QoQ was due primarily to expansion in the LC portfolio that was mainly associated with the BCP Traditional Mortgage product and to a lesser extent to the Mivivienda product. Due to the aforementioned, the LC portfolio’s share of total loans in the Mortgage segment increased slightly from 71.1% in 4Q15 to 71.7% in 1Q16. The FC portfolio fell -3% QoQ due to amortizations and anticipated payments, which characterize every 1Q.

 

It is important to note that the FC stock reported a very low loan to value (LTV) of 51% at the end of March 2016 (slightly higher than the 50% reported in 2015 and lower than the portfolio average of 57%). Disbursements continue to be denominated mainly in Soles, reaching level of 100% local currency loans in most months.

 

(iii)The Credit Card segment expanded +2.1% QoQ due to an increase in the LC portfolio, which offset the decrease in the FC portfolio.

 

(iv)The SME-Pyme segment, in line with expectations, posted a slightly decrease QoQ (-0.7%). The aforementioned was due primarily to: (1) seasonal effects in the first quarter of every year given that loans issued in the previous 2H are paid off; and (2) segmentation of the portfolio in the first few months of the year, where clients from SME-Pyme segment were transferred to the SME-Business Banking segment following client segmentation.

 

Due to the aforementioned, it is important to analyze the YoY evolution of loans. This analysis shows that the SME-Pyme portfolio expanded +6.5%, which tops the figure posted in 2015. The evolution of this segment will depend on the economy’s performance given that there is a high correlation between growth in the commerce sector and growth in the SME-Pyme segment.

 

(v)The Consumer segment posted a slightly decrease QoQ (-0.4%), which was due to the fact that the contraction in the FC portfolio, which offset the increase in the LC portfolio due to expansion in car loans. This evolution led LC loans to represent 84.3% of the segment’s total loans (83.5% in 4Q15).

 

BCP Bolivia continued to post good loan dynamism, reporting a +5.7% increase in average daily balances QoQ and +3.1% growth in quarter-end balances. This evolution was due to an increase in the loan levels to the Wholesale Banking segment and to Corporate Banking in particular due to more financing for the electricity sector. Consequently, Wholesale Banking loans went from representing 38% of total loans at the end of 4Q15 to accounting for 40.5% at the end of 1Q16. The Retail Banking segment fell QoQ, which was due to a decrease in loans to the Commercial and SME-Pyme segments due to payments in full that are made every 1Q. The aforementioned offset the expansion in mortgage and personal loans after the government established lower rates for financing for the regulated portfolio (productive sector and social housing), which must reach 60% of total loans by the end of 2018.

 

Mibanco’s loans, measured in average daily balances, increased +2.2% QoQ. This reflects recovery after the acquisition and the process to clean up the portfolio and was due mainly to the fact that 1H tends to be less dynamic, particularly for clients in the micro and small business sector. Nevertheless, it is important to consider the speed of origination, which remains below this sector’s potential. This reflects the focus on prioritizing portfolio quality over driving loan growth in an uncertain macroeconomic context.

 

Finally ASB reported growth of +2.1% QoQ in average daily balances while quarter-end balances remained stable (-0.2% QoQ). The difference between both growth rates was due primarily to payments in full made at the end of quarter. It is important to note that ASB continues to have a good risk profile, which is reflected in its high compliance level and the fact that it is 100% guaranteed.

(1)Average daily balances.
(2)The participation of Credicorp’s portfolio is calculated including BCP Bolivia and ASB, but the chart shows only BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco’s loan books.

 

If we analyze the YoY evolution of dollarization, it is evident that Credicorp’s FC portfolio represented 39.7% of total dollarization at the end of 1Q16 vs. 46.6% in 1Q15. At BCP Stand-alone, portfolio de-dollarization is even higher given that it reached 36.8% in 1Q16 vs. 46.2% in 1Q15. In this context, de-dollarization in Wholesale Banking, led primarily by Middle Market Banking and secondarily by Corporate Banking, was particularly noteworthy.

 

The Retail Banking segments that are the most dollarized are SME-Business and Mortgage, which reported significant de-dollarization YoY. In the case of Mortgages, the factors that explain de-dollarization are the high level of disbursements in local currency (almost 100%) and the amortization of stock denominated in US Dollars.

 

1.2.3 BCRP de-dollarization plan at BCP Stand-alone

 

At the end of 2014, BCRP established a Loan De-dollarization Program. Among other measures taken, goals were set for progressive de-dollarization by the end of June 2015, December 2015 and December 2016 for the total portfolio in FC with certain exceptions1 and for the joint mortgage and car loan portfolio. The balance required at the end of December 2016 has been adjusted in the following way:

 

(i)The total portfolio in FC at the end of December 2016 must represent a maximum of 80% of the total loan balance at the end of September 2013 (excluding certain loans); and

 

 

1 The total portfolio does not include loans for foreign trade and loans issued for tenures exceeding 3 years or for amounts greater than US$ 10 million that are disbursed from January 1, 2015 and on.

 

 10

 

   

(ii)The FC portfolio in the mortgage and car segment must represent a maximum of 70% of the total loan balance at the end of February 2013.

 

The bases for both goals refer to quarter-end balances in local accounting but the compliance level is measured by using average daily balances from the monthly report.

 

The following figures show the percentage of compliance at the end of March 2016:

 

Reduction target for total loans in FC

- at the end of March 2016 - 

 

Reduction target for “Mortgage & Car” loans in FC

- at the end of March 2016 - 

     
     

 

As is evident in the figures, BCP Stand-alone has achieved a very comfortable level of compliance for both loan portfolios subject to the de-dollarization program.

 

1.2.4Market share in loans

 

Market share in Peru

 

 

(1) At the end of March 2016.

(2) Mortgage includes Mibanco’s market share, 1% in March and in December 2015.

(3) Consumer includes Mibanco’s market share, 2.1% in March and in December 2015.

 

At the end of February 2016, BCP Stand-alone continued to lead the market with a 30.2% share. This figure was significantly higher than that of its closest competitor.

 

Wholesale Banking maintained its leadership by increasing its market share, which went from 43.5% at the end of December 2015 to 45.4% in March 2016. This was in line with expansion in its portfolio at quarter-end. Middle-Market Banking’s market share fell QoQ due to a decrease in its portfolio.

 

 11

 

  

In terms of Retail Banking, BCP continued to lead the market in almost every segment with the exception of SME-Business, where it was situated second. Nevertheless, BCP maintained a stable market share in the mortgage and credit card segments and reported a slight decline in the SME Business and consumer segment.

 

Mibanco’s share in the Peruvian financial system (including Edyficar) held steady at 3% in both December 2015 and March 2016. If we analyze the SME segment in Peru, Mibanco increased its share from 21.3% in December to 22% in March 2016.

 

Finally, BCP Bolivia maintained its market share QoQ and YoY (9.0%) and was situated in fourth place in the Bolivian Financial System.

 

2.Funding Sources

 

Total funding at Credicorp increased +2.6% QoQ. This was primarily due to growth in some core deposits (Demand, Non-interest bearing and Savings) and to the increase in Other Liabilities, which was associated to declared dividends. The aforementioned was affected by the QoQ drop in Time Deposits and in Bonds and Subordinated Debt. Credicorp’s funding cost2 increased +3 bps QoQ and +12 bps YoY, mainly due to higher funding cost in BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco. The Loan to Deposit ratio (L/D) was situated at 98.6%.

2.1Funding Structure

 

Evolution of the funding structure and cost – BAP

 

 

(1) Includes acceptances outstanding, reserve for property and casualty claims, reserve for unearned premiums, reinsurance payable and other liabilities.

 

In the figure Evolution of Credicorp’s funding structure and cost, it is evident the increase in some of the core deposits (Demand, Non-interest bearing and Savings), which have lower funding cost than the rest of funding sources. This led to an increase in the share of these deposits as a percentage of total funding. Furthermore, the increase in Others was due to a seasonal effect that is present every 1Q as a result of declared dividends. With regards to BCRP funding, it increased mainly due to higher level of Currency Repos and CDs.

 

Nevertheless, Time Deposits and Bonds and subordinated debt fell QoQ, as a result of cancelations at due date in 1Q16.

 

It is important to note that the evolution of the funding structure QoQ and YoY shows that low-cost funding sources have a higher share of total funding. Additionally, the share of deposits in Credicorp’s total funding has been stable TaT and increased +210 bps AaA (62.6% in 1Q15, 65.0% in 4Q15, and 64.7% in 1Q16) and as a result, Deposits continued to represent Credicorp’s main funding source.

2.1.1Funding Structure by currency and tenure - BCP Stand-alone

 

BCP Stand-alone represents around 78% of Credicorp’s assets and liabilities. As such, it is important to analyze mismatching in LC and examine the funding structure by tenure.

Note that the currency mismatch between assets and liabilities at BCP Stand-alone is small and limited, in accordance with corporate policy. As such, as was the case in 4Q15, 46% of assets and 45% of liabilities at BCP Stand-alone is denominated in LC.

 

With regard to BCRP funding, it is important to remember that this source is considered more stable, which has allowed us to strengthen our long-term funding and it has been part of our strategy to keep the funding cost relatively stable. These instruments also facilitate loan expansion in LC and aid in the process to convert FC loans to LC.

(1) Deposits include non-contractual deposits (Demand, Savings and Severance indemnity -CTS) and Time Deposits. The non-contractual deposits represent 74% of total deposits; 33% of the non-contractual deposits has tenure lower than 6 months and 67% of the non-contractual deposits has a duration higher than 6 months (10% ≤ 1 year, 28% between >1 year and ≤ 3 years, and 62% from >3 years onwards).

(2) It includes Due to banks and correspondents and Bonds and subordinated debt.

(1)  Deposits include non-contractual deposits (Demand, Savings and Severance indemnity -CTS) and Time Deposits. The non-contractual deposits represent 77% of total deposits; 33% of the non-contractual deposits has tenure lower than 6 months. Based on BCP analysis, 67% of the non-contractual deposits has a duration higher than 6 months (10% ≤ 1 year, 29% between >1 year and ≤ 3 years, and 61% from >3 years onwards).

(2) It includes Due to banks and correspondents and Bonds and subordinated debt.

 

The figure above show BCP Stand-alone’s funding structure by tenure. The solid participation of structural funding stands out and is in line with the increase in Other Liabilities with tenures longer than 2 years. This increase was in turn associated with higher Due to Banks and Correspondents. The decrease in BCRP Instruments with tenure greater than 2 years was attributable to the maturity of CD repos in 1Q16 and to an increase in the use of Repos with tenures under 2 years.

(1) Severance indemnity deposits.

 

Total deposits mainly expanded due to a QoQ increase in some core deposits (non-interest bearing deposits, demand and Savings). It is important to note that this increase helped to attenuate the increase of funding cost, which we will discuss later in the report.

 

The significant QoQ increase in Demand Deposits was associated with strong growth in the current accounts of institutional clients at BCP Stand-alone. Also, Savings deposits increased +2.5% QoQ as a result of higher deposits of retail banking clients, mainly in BCP Stand-alone. This was in turn attributable to campaigns that were conducted at the beginning of the year and coincided with profit sharing payments that take place in 1Q of every year. Non-interest bearing deposits, in the QoQ analysis, increased primarily in LC.

 

Time Deposits fell QoQ due to a decrease in deposits at BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco. At BCP Stand-alone, FC withdrawals were made by Retail Banking clients (Private Banking) in February 2016. The QoQ drop at Mibanco was due to efforts to exchange Time Deposits for Due to Banks and Correspondents, which was part of the strategy to improve the funding structure and obtain more stable funding.

 

CTS Deposits reported a -8.6% decline QoQ due to seasonal effects that occur in the 1Q of every year due to CTS payments in 4Q.

 

In YoY terms, growth in deposits was led by an increase in Time Deposits followed by growth in Non-interest bearing Deposits, Savings Deposits and Demand Deposits. It is important to note that Time Deposits and Demand Deposits were affected by the appreciation of the US Dollar against the Sol (7.43% YoY), which was in line with higher dedollarization levels. Finally, in the YoY analysis of CTS Deposits, the seasonal effect generated in 4T is eliminated and an increase is evident, mainly due to BCP Stand-alone.

 

2.2.1Deposit dollarization

 

Deposit Dollarization (1) – BAP

 

 

(1) Q-end balances.

 

The level of dollarization of the Credicorp’s deposits increased slightly and was situated at 59.4%. This was due primarily to the increase in Demand Deposits in US Dollars at BCP Stand-alone and to a lesser extent to FC deposits at Mibanco.

 

 15

 

  

Nevertheless, an analysis of the YoY evolution of dollarization in 2015 shows an on-going increase in FC deposits that was associated with the appreciation of the US Dollar against the Sol (+ 7.43% YoY) and to a higher volume of deposits in FC.

 

It is important to note that approximately 88% of deposit total at Credicorp is originated in Peru by BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco. The percentage of deposits in US Dollars at BCP Individual and Mibanco at the end of March 2016 was 56.4% (55.9% in 4Q15) and 17% (21.4% in 4Q15) respectively.

An analysis of the QoQ evolution of the four types of deposits at BCP Stand-Alone, in terms of average daily balances, shows an increase in the dollarization level of Demand Deposits, which includes non-interest bearing deposits, as a result of higher current accounts and Savings Deposits, which was attributable to the campaigns held in 4Q15 and 1Q16.

 

There was also a higher level of dollarization QoQ in Time Deposits despite withdrawals from FC deposits in Private Banking, which were made at the end of February 2016. CTS Deposits remained stable in the currency mix.

  

2.2.2Market share in Deposits

 

Market share in Peru

 

 

(1) Demand deposits includes Mibanco's market share of 0.2% at the end of March and December 2015, and 0.1% at the end of February 2016.

(2) Savings deposits includes Mibanco's market share of 1.4% at the end of March 2015, 1.2% at the end of December 2015 and February 2016.

(3) Time deposits includes Mibanco's narket share of 5.1% at the end of March 2015, 5.2% at the end of December 2015 and 5.4% at the end of February 2016.

(4) CTS or Severance indemnity deposits includes Mibanco's market share of 1.2% at the end of March 2015, December 2015 and February 2016.

 

At the end of February 2016, Credicorp’s subsidiaries in Peru, BCP and Mibanco, continued to lead different types of deposits with a market share of 33.7% (31.4% in LC deposits and 35.8% in FC deposits). This topped the 33.1% reported in December 2015. The result for February 2016 was situated approximately 14 % above the level of its closest competitor.

In terms of the analysis of shares by deposit type, Time Deposits increased slightly QoQ and YoY due to an increase in the capture level at the end of February. As discussed in Section 2.2 Deposits, Time Deposits fell at the end of 1Q16.

 

Demand and Savings Deposits reported an increase in their market share QoQ, which was attributable to an increase in FC deposits in current accounts and in cuenta premio respectively. Nevertheless, YoY there was a slight contraction in the market shares of both types of deposits

 

CTS Deposits fell slightly QoQ and YoY due to seasonal factors that characterize every 4Q given that CTS Deposits are made in December.

 

BCP Bolivia held fast to its fifth place position in the Bolivian financial system with a 9.6% share at the end of December 2015. This result topped the 8.9% reported at the end of December and March in 2015.

 

2.3Other funding sources

 

Other funding sources  Quarter   % Change 
S/ 000  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16   QoQ   YoY 
Due to banks and correspondents   9,936,209    8,387,517    8,688,933    3.6%   -12.6%
BCRP instruments   7,956,780    10,612,840    11,181,320    5.4%   40.5%
Bonds and subordinated debt   15,560,444    16,305,819    15,295,655    -6.2%   -1.7%
Other liabilities(1)   13,458,896    13,072,489    14,672,367    12.2%   9.0%
Total Other funding sources   46,912,329    48,378,665    49,838,275    3.0%   6.2%

(1) Includes acceptances outstanding, reserves for property and casualty claims, reserve for unearned premiums, reinsurance payable and other liabilities.

 

The total of Other funding sources increased +3.0% QoQ. This was mainly due to (i) an increase in the dividends declared for payment to third parties at Credicorp and BCP in accordance with the agreements made at Annual General Meetings of Shareholders held in March.

 

Although less significant in terms of dimension, an increase was also reported in BCRP Instruments and in Currency Repos and CDs in particular. The Due to Banks and Correspondents’ result was due primarily to the fact that BCP Stand-alone assumed higher lines of credit with banks abroad.

 

The level of Bonds and Subordinated Debt fell QoQ due to i) maturities of corporate and subordinated bonds, and ii) the effect of the depreciation of the US Dollar (-2.49% QoQ) on debt denominated in FC this quarter. This was due to the fact that 86% of the total of this type of funding is in FC. The QoQ decline was due mainly to movements at the BCP Stand-alone subsidiary.

 

The YoY analysis reveals significant growth in BCRP Instruments and in Other Liabilities, which was associated with an increase in dividends payable at BCP with regard to last year.

 

The drop in Due to Banks and Correspondents in year-on-year terms was associated with the fact different types of funding were replaced by core deposits and BCRP Instruments. The aforementioned led to a reconfiguration of Other Sources of Funding at Credicorp to favor lower cost and more stable liabilities. This facilitated moves to replace Bonds and Subordinated Debt, which is the most expensive source of funding, and funding from Due to Banks and Correspondents.

2.4Loan/Deposit (L/D)

 

Loan/Deposit Ratio per Subsidiary

 

 

The L/D ratio at Credicorp fell -106 bps QoQ and -450 bps YoY. This downward trend was observed primarily at BCP Stand Alone and at ASB. The aforementioned was due to the +2.4% increase QoQ in total deposits vs. lower growth in total loans (+1.3% QoQ). Nevertheless, it is important to note that the YoY drop includes the effect of the depreciation of the US Dollar, which strengthens the improvement in the L/D ratio.

  

Loan/Deposit ratio by currency
Local currency Foreign currency
   

 

The L/D analysis by currency shows a slight increase in the L/D ratio in LC at both Credicorp and BCP Individual, which was expected given that LC deposits are subject to a seasonal effect in the last quarter of every year (4Q) due to CTS Deposits, which are made in November, and bonus payments, which are made in December.

 

 18

 

  

2.5Funding Cost

 

The funding cost at Credicorp increased QoQ due to higher growth in interest expenses (3.42% QoQ) vs. growth in average total liabilities (2.01% QoQ), which in turns is mainly explained by the higher funding cost in BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco.

 

The following table shows the cost of funding by subsidiary:

 

Funding cost by subsidiary

 

   BCP Stand-alone   Mibanco   BCP Bolivia   ASB   Credicorp(1) 
1Q15   1.80%   4.21%   2.09%   2.30%   1.92%
4Q15   1.95%   4.43%   1.97%   2.35%   2.01%
1Q16   1.97%   4.64%   1.90%   2.27%   2.04%

 

(1)  Credicorp includes results for the Banking Business, Grupo Pacifico, Prima AFP, smaller subsidiaries and consolidation adjustments.

 

At the BCP Stand-alone level, the funding cost increased slightly (+2 bps QoQ) due to higher growth in interest expenses, which was associated with the increase reported in the average of total liabilities QoQ. This was attributable to higher funding costs for the main sources of funding (deposits and BCRP instruments), basically in the LC rates, and to an increase in the deposit volume.

 

Mibanco’s funding cost increased +21 bps QoQ due to higher interest expenses this quarter, which were mainly attributable to an increase in interest expenses on deposits, amounts due and bonds. Nevertheless, at the end of 1Q16, this fund was pre-paid and matured, which had a negative impact on Mibanco’s funding cost.

 

The funding cost at BCP Bolivia and ASB fell -7 bps and -8 bps QoQ respectively due to lower growth in interest expenses than in average liabilities.

 

The following graphs show the funding cost of our Banking business3 by funding source:

Total mutual funds   8,207,534    9,202,212    9,582,772    4.1%   16.8%

 

Mutual funds at Credicorp Capital Fondos Peru reported significant increases QoQ and YoY. QoQ growth was due mainly to an increase in funds from corporate clients. The aforementioned allowed the company to increase its market share to 42.2% at the end of March 2016 (vs. 41.4% at the end of December 2015) and maintain its leading position in the Peruvian market.

 

In the YoY analysis, Credicorp Capital Fondos Peru reported expansion of 15.6% in its funds under management. If we exclude the effect of the appreciation of the US Dollar against the Sol, this increase was situated at 7.6%.

 

The portfolio managed by Credifondo Bolivia increased +4.9% QoQ, which reflects solid growth. It is important to note that the increase in the portfolio under management was achieved with basically the same number of clients QoQ but with a higher volume of investments. The fund’s market share was situated at 12.7% at the end of March 2016, which made it one of the 5 largest competitors in the Bolivian market.

 

In YoY terms, Credifondo Bolivia reported growth of 43.3% in the portfolio under management. If we exclude the effect of the appreciation of the Bolivianos against the Sol, the increase was situated at 33.4%. This was due to commercial movements with strategic clients.

3.Portfolio quality and Provisions for loan losses

 

The cost of risk fell to 1.98%, which was considerably lower than the 2.23% reported in 4Q15 and, better yet, the 2.46% reported in 1Q15. This was due to low growth in gross provisions and a higher level of reversals at Mibanco, both of which were associated with an improvement in the quality of vintages, mainly at Mibanco and SME-Pyme, as well as, in Wholesale Banking’s portfolio. Nevertheless, the “traditional” delinquency ratios posted an increase due to the distortion generated by high levels of collateral (commercial real estate).

(3) Non-performing loans include past-due loans and refinanced loans.

 

3.1Provisions for loan losses

 

Provisions for loan losses net of recoveries and reversals fell -9.8% QoQ. This was mainly due to (i) recoveries at BCP Stand-alone; (ii) reversals of provisions at Mibanco due to an improvement in the risk qualiy of new vintages; and to a lesser extent, due to (iii) insignificant growth in gross provisions for loan losses, mainly at Mibanco and BCP Stand-alone. The latter reflected the improvement achieved in Pyme and Wholesale Banking.

 

The aforementioned, coupled with slight growth in loans, led to a QoQ and YoY drop in the cost of risk4.

 

The provisions over net interest income (NII) ratio reported a significant decline QoQ due to lower growth in provisions, which offset the effect of the drop in NII (-1.5% QoQ). The decline in the latter was mainly associated with higher interest expenses, which is explained in section 4: Net Interest Income.

 

The coverage ratio for internal overdue loans fell QoQ and YoY due to lower growth in the provisions balance with regard to the increase in internal overdue loans. Nevertheless, this level is within the organization’s risk policy. The same behavior is evident in the coverage ratio for non-performing loans, which fell less QoQ and YoY due to lower growth in the refinanced portfolio.

Portfolio quality & Cost of risk

 

 

(1)Cost of risk = Annualized provisions for loan losses / Total loans.

 

In the YoY analysis, net provisions for loan losses fell -9.7%. This was due mainly to the high level reported in 1Q15, which was attributable to a more conservative policy in a scenario that was less dynamic than expected and which posted a deterioration in (i) the debt service capacity of specific clients in Corporate Banking in the Gas and Hydrocarbons sector; (ii) of construction clients involved in the problems unfolding in Brazil; and (iii) the FX risk on credit risk. The decrease in expenses for provisions for loan losses is also reflected in the decline of the cost of risk (-48 bps), which was strengthened by solid growth in the loan portfolio measured in quarter-end balances (+12.1% YoY).

 

3.2Portfolio Quality

 

Prior to analyzing the evolution of traditional delinquency indicators (internal overdue ratio and non-performing loan ratio), it is important to note that these indicators continued to be distorted by the existence of real guarantees (commercial properties) that characterize segments such, SME-Pyme, SME-Business and the Mortgage segments. This means that a significant portion of the loans that are more than 150 days past due cannot be charged off even when they are backed by adequate provisions given that this requires a judicial process that takes 4 years on average.

 

It is also important to remember that the aforementioned indicators also include the effect of the seasonality in loans of SME-Pyme and Mibanco in the second half of each year (2H) due to their largest financing campaigns related to Christmas season. These short-term loans are cancelled in the 1H of the following year.

 

In this scenario, the internal overdue ratio deteriorated +15 bps QoQ to situate at 2.71% in 1Q16. This was due to a smaller increase in total loans (+1.3% QoQ) than that in internal overdue loans (+7.1% QoQ). This was mainly attributable to the seasonality of loans in SME-Pyme and Mibanco, as well as, higher delinquency in Credit cards, Mortgages and SME-Business.

 

The non-performing portfolio (which includes refinanced loans) grew +4.8% QoQ. This was basically due to an increase in internal overdue loans while refinanced loans contracted. The aforementioned, coupled with slight loan growth (+1.3% QoQ), translated into a NPL ratio of 3.53% (+12 bps QoQ). An analysis of the YoY ratio shows an increase of +13 bps due to an increase in the pace of refinancing, which began in the second half of 2014 and 2015.

The following figure shows the evolution of the delinquency ratio by business and product:

3.2.1Delinquency ratios by business

 

Wholesale Banking – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk

 

 

(i)The delinquency ratio for Wholesale Banking fell -4 bps QoQ, situating at 0.28% due to a contraction in the internal overdue loan portfolio and growth in loans. The NPL ratio increased +2 bps QoQ. This was due mainly to an increase in refinanced loans. In the YoY analysis, the internal overdue ratio remained stable while the NPL ratio grew +11 bps due to the aforementioned increase in refinanced loans.

 

The cost of risk was situated at 0.18%, which was -44 bps lower than 4Q15’s figure. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in provisions, which returned to average levels after having experienced a one-off increase in 4Q15 (due to one client that experienced a decline in its debt service capacity after a drop in international oil prices).

 

BCP Bolivia – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk

 

 

(ii)BCP Bolivia reported deterioration in the internal overdue ratio and NPL ratio at the end of 1Q16, which increased +21 and +14 bps QoQ respectively. This was attributable to the fact that growth in internal overdue loans is higher every 1Q- which is due mainly to cash loans for SME-business and mortgage loans- and to a slight slowdown in loan growth QoQ. The YoY analysis reveals an increase in both ratios due to growth in internal overdue loans in the aforementioned segments and to problems in 1Q15 (change in regulations for loan issuance).

 

The cost of risk increased +58 bps QoQ and +69 bps YoY due to higher growth in provisions, mainly in the Retail Banking portfolio.

 

 24

 

 

To analyze the evolution of delinquency per line and product within Retail Banking, it is necessary to consider broader time horizons and focus on the YoY analysis to eliminate seasonal effects.

 

SME-Business – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk

 

 

(1) Data before March 2014 is not available.

 

(iii)In the analysis of the SME-Business segment, it is important to note that the internal overdue and NPL ratios reported a YoY increase of +67 bps and +43 bps respectively. This was due mainly to growth in internal overdue loans. It is relevant to mention that these ratios are still below the organization’s appetite for risk and are aligned with this portfolio’s strategy for growth.

 

The cost of risk in the SME-Business segment grew 34 bps YoY to situate at 1.43%. This increase was due to growth in provisions for loan losses, which was in line with the bank’s strategy to focus on medium-risk clients to maximize profitability. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the cost of risk in this segment is still low given that the nature of this business, and its model, is similar to that of Wholesale Banking.

SME - Pyme – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk

 

 

(1)Figures differ from previously reported due to adjustments during the data processing that have been incorporated in this report.

 

(iv)In the SME-PYME portfolio, it is best to analyze early delinquency, which excludes loans that are less than 60 days past due (volatile loans whose recovery rate is very high) and those that are more than 150 days overdue (loans that are covered by provisions that cannot be charged off due to the existence of real guarantees - commercial properties). At the beginning of the second half of 2014, early delinquency continued to follow the YoY downward trend seen each quarter due to the adjustments made in the business model. In this context, YoY early delinquency remained relatively stable increasing only by +3 bps.

 

Accordingly, the cost of risk fell -96 bps YoY due to an improvement in the quality of risk of new vintages. This ratio represents the minimum historic level reported over the last two years.

 

In the YoY analysis, the internal overdue loan ratio and the NPL ratio reported increases of +89 bps and +71 bps respectively given that, as mentioned earlier, these ratios include provisions for loans that cannot be charged off given the existence of real guarantees. Additionally, these loans register seasonal effects that are present every 1Q.

 

Mortgage – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk

 

 

(1)Figures differ from previously reported due to adjustments during the data processing that have been incorporated in this report.

 

(v)With regard to Mortgage loans, it is important to note that this portfolio is backed by guarantees that require a judicial process to liquidate, which takes between 3 to 4 years on average. As such, it is necessary to analyze the evolution of early delinquency, which increased +19 bps and +32 bps QoQ and YoY respectively. This level is, however, within the appetite for risk limits set by the organization for this segment. The YoY deterioration was attributable to maturities (between 3 and 4 years) in the Mivivienda loan portfolio.

 

 26

 

 

The cost of risk in this segment fell -16 bps QoQ due to an operating error in 4Q15 in the registry for provisions for loan losses for the Mivivienda program, which was reversed this quarter. YoY, the cost of risk increased +18 bps due to: i) the maturity cicle of the Mivivienda portfolio5, which continued to account for approximately 15% of the total mortgage loan portfolio; and ii) the slight deterioration in vintages in FC loans for the traditional mortgage product, which were disbursed mainly in 2012 and 2013; and iii) lastly, some clients that hold other Credicorp products experienced difficulties in their debt service capacities with other entities (internal alignment).

 

It is important to note that the Mortgage segment is divided into two products: Traditional Mortgage at BCP and Mivivienda. We continue to conduct follow-up on the overdue loans for both products, with special attention on cases that are subject to judicial processes, to improve the recovery strategy.

 

Consumer – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk

 

 

(1)Figures differ from previously reported due to adjustments during the data processing that have been incorporated in this report.

 

(vi)The early delinquency ratio for the Consumer portfolio increased +39 bps YoY after having fallen consistently during the first three quarters of 2015. This was due to growth in the delinquent portfolio that was attributable to maturities in the “affluent” campaign and to the economic downturn.

 

The cost of risk increased +45 bps YoY due to an increase in provisions for loan losses in this segment due to a deterioration in the portfolio’s risk quality.

 

 

5 The MiVivienda program provides mortgage loans that are backed by the Peruvian government. In 2014, a new Mivivienda loan was launched with better conditions to improve payment compliance levels.

 

 27

 

 

Credit Card – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk

 

 

(1)Figures differ from previously reported due to adjustments during the data processing that have been incorporated in this report.

 

(vii)The Credit Card portfolio posted YoY growth in its early delinquency and non-performing segments. It is important to note that the levels reported are within the organization’s appetite for risk. This deterioration was mainly associated with the maturity of vintages originated at the beginning of 2015, which have continued to post lower-than-expected delinquency levels.

 

In terms of the cost of risk, the YoY analysis shows an increase that was due, in part, to an increase in provisions for loan losses due to a deterioration in some of our clients’ debt service capacities to pay obligations assumed with other entities (the information is obtained through external sources, which are available in the Peruvian financial system).

 

Mibanco – Portfolio quality and Cost of risk6

 

 

(viii)The internal overdue loan ratio at Mibanco fell -132 bps YoY. This was primarily due to a contraction in internal overdue loans, which was attributable to efforts made over the past year to clean up the loan portfolio and improve the quality of risk. In 1Q16, these initiatives were stepped up (in comparison to last quarter) with efforts to align the portfolio with the charge-off policy to complete the clean-up process. An increase in loan origination helped reduce the NPL ratio by -126 bps.

 

 

6 Mibancos’ cost of risk is calculated starting on 2Q14 since net provisions were consolidated on BAP’s results at the beginning of this period.

 

 28

 

 

The cost of risk fell -109 bps QoQ. This was due to the fact that virtually no growth was posted in gross loans and to an increase in provisions reversals. Both of these aspects were attributable to an improvement in the risk quality of new vintages. In the YoY analysis, Mibanco continued to improve and post greater stability, registering a drop of -142 bps YoY.

 

4.Net Interest Income (NII)

 

NIM contracted -22 bps QoQ and -40 bps YoY. This was due mainly to (i) an increase in interest expenses in a scenario of increasing interest rates; (ii) loan expansion, mainly in low-margin segments, such as Wholesale Banking and Mortgage; and (iii) the strategy to improve the risk profile, which implies reduction of interest rates. This last factor was reflected in a lower drop in NIM after provisions of -5 bps QoQ and -3 bps YoY.

(1) Annualized

 

4.1Interest Income

 

Interest income posted a slight drop of 0.2% QoQ, which was mainly due to lower earnings in the forward business (other interest income) and to the fact that interest on loans posted almost no growth (-0.3% QoQ), particularly at BCP Stand-alone.

 

Interest income from loans fell slightly QoQ due to (ii) loan growth, mainly in segments with very small margins such as Wholesale Banking and Mortgage; and (iii) the strategy to improve the risk profile, which entails reducing interest rates because clients have better risk profile.

 

Nevertheless, it is important to note that growth in interest income on loans at Mibanco and BCP Bolivia, which was in line with growth in average daily balances of +5.7% QoQ and 2.3% QoQ respectively. Loan growth at BCP Bolivia was led by Wholesale Banking, which is a low margin segment. This had an impact on interest income on loans this quarter.

 

Lower gains in Other Interest Income QoQ is associated with a drop in gains on currency swaps with BCRP, which are mainly used by BCP Stand-alone. These swaps were negatively affected by a decrease in the transactions volume and by fluctuations in BCRP’s rate in Soles.

 

All of the aforementioned was attenuated by an increase in interest income and dividends on investments, which increased +847.6% QoQ. This was attributable to seasonal effects on this line, which are present every 1Q.

 

 29

 

 

In the YoY analysis, interest income grew +12.1%, mainly at Mibanco and BCP Stand-alone, due to:

 

(i)Higher interest income on loans (+11.7%) due to the +14.3% YoY expansion in average daily balances for Credicorp loans, which was in line with growth in Wholesale Banking (+15.8%), SME-Business (+33.5%) and Mortgage (+9.2%);
(ii)Growth in interest income on securities (+16.2%) and;
(iii)Higher interest income and dividends on investments (+114.7%).

 

4.2Interest Expenses

 

Interest Expenses increased +3.4% QoQ. This was mainly due the evolution of business at Credicorp Capital, BCP Individual and Mibanco. In the case of Credicorp Capital, there was a loss on derivative instruments, mainly at its Credicorp Capital Columbia subsidiary.

 

BCP Individual and Mibanco accounted for the majority of the increase in Interest expenses on deposits (+9.3% QoQ). This was attributable to growth in core deposits at BCP Stand-alone, which also posted an increase in their average cost QoQ, as explained in section 2.1.1: Funding Structure by Currency and Tenure- BCP Stand-alone.

 

In the case of Mibanco, the QoQ variation in accounting balances shows a decrease in deposits, which was associated with pre-payment of a significant amount of time deposits in the month of February 2016. Nevertheless, its interest expense was registered in the first 2 months of the quarter.

 

4.3Net Interest Margin (NIM)

 

In the QoQ analysis, NIM fell considerably due to a larger drop in NII (-1.5% QoQ) vs. growth in average IEA (+2.6% QoQ). Nevertheless, NIM after provisions reported a slight decrease of -5 bps QoQ, which was attributable to the fewer provisions reported in this 1Q16.

 

The aforementioned reflects Credicorp’s strategy to improve the portfolio’s risk profile, which required driving growth to lower margin segments. As is presented in the graphic below, NIM after provisions was relatively stable over the last three quarters. It is also important to note that the gap between NIM and NIM after provisions has decreased due to an improvement in the risk profile. In fact, in 1Q16, we registered the lowest gap between these figures since 4Q13.

 

NIM was also affected, but to a lesser extent, by a drop in gains on derivative instruments QoQ (BCRP Instruments in particular) and by a slight QoQ increase in interest expenses.

Credicorp’s NIM, NIM after provisions, Adjusted NIM & Adjusted NIM after provisions7

 

 

NIM on loans fell -25 bps due seasonal factors that affect this component every 1Q. In the YoY analysis,  NIM on loans fell -18 bps YoY due to higher average growth in loans than in the margin due to a change in the loan portfolio mix in 2015 to favor more profitable segments.

NIM on loans

  

   

Credicorp’s NIM vs. Adjusted NIM

 

 

 

*Adjusted NIM = (Net interest margin)*4 / [Average (Interest earning assets – Restricted-deposits related to BCRP instruments)] 

 

The adjusted NIM fell -27pbs. This drop was slightly higher than the reduction posted for NIM due to a QoQ increase in the balance of BCRP Instruments. Nevertheless, in the YoY analysis, if we exclude the effect of the restricted deposits generated by BCRP Instruments, Adjusted NIM fell -24 bps.

 

 

7 NIM on loans is calculated as follows:

 

 

The share of loans within total earning assets is calculated by dividing the average of the beginning and closing balances of total loans for the reporting period, by the average of the beginning and closing balances of the interest earning assets for the reporting period.

 

 31

 

 

It is also important to analyze NIM by subsidiary. The table below contains the interest margins for each of Credicorp’s main subsidiaries:

 

NIM Breakdown  BCP Stand-alone   Mibanco   BCP Bolivia   ASB   Credicorp(1) 
NIM for 1Q15 (2)   5.05%   14.12%   4.39%   2.15%   5.73%
NIM for 4Q15   4.85%   14.43%   4.15%   2.15%   5.55%
NIM for 1Q16   4.52%   14.47%   4.31%   2.03%   5.33%

NIM: Annualized Net interest income / Average period end and period beginning interest earning assets.

(1) Credicorp also includes Credicorp Capital, Prima, Grupo Crédito and Eliminations for consolidation purposes.

(2) Figures differ from the ones reported last quarter. Please consider this report’s figures.

 

The evolution of NIM global per subsidiary indicates that BCP Stand-alone explains the majority of the variation in Credicorp’s NIM given that it represents around 68% of Credicorp’s net interest income. The QoQ and YoY drop at Credicorp was due to a decline in BCP Stand-alone’s NIM. This was due to higher loan growth in lower margin segments, as discussed above, and to an increase in the use of BCRP instruments during 2015.

 

NIM at Mibanco and BCP Bolivia increased +5 bps QoQ and +16 bps QoQ respectively. This was attributable to their loan growth measured in average daily balances at both subsidiaries, as explained in section 1.2: Credicorp Loans.

 

5.Non-Financial Income

 

Non-financial Income fell -3.3% QoQ. This was due mainly to the drop in income from banking fees; in gains on foreign exchange transactions; and in non-recurring income at Edyficar (Other Income) in 4Q15. The aforementioned offset gains on sales of securities and gains on investments in subsidiaries. In the YoY evolution, non-financial income reported a drop of -13.2% due to lower gains on foreign exchange transactions. Nevertheless, if we remove the effect of extraordinary income in 1Q15, the result increases +0.5% due to an increase in the transactions volume at BCP Stand-alone.

 

Non-financial income  Quarter   % change 
S/.000  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16   QoQ   YoY 
Fee income, net   643,627    687,164    680,962    -0.9%   5.8%
Net gain on foreign exchange transactions   200,446    207,165    165,143    -20.3%   -17.6%
Net gain on sales of securities   24,886    (16,816)   5,453    132.4%   -78.1%
Net gain from associates(1)   146,818    (2,853)   3,537    224.0%   -97.6%
Other income   41,652    73,894    62,487    -15.4%   50.0%
Total non financial income   1,057,428    948,554    917,582    -3.3%   -13.2%

(1) Mainly includes the agreement between Grupo Pacífico and Banmédica.

 

Fee income, which represents the main source of non-financial income (74% of the total), registered a slight drop QoQ due to its seasonality in 4Q, which in turn is related to higher volumes in the transactional banking business. Nevertheless, it is important to note that this component grew +5.8% YoY due to an increase in the volume of banking transactions (transfers and credit cards) at BCP Stand-alone, and to a lesser extent, to the increase in fees at Prima AFP and BCP Bolivia. The latter was related to its off-balance sheet transactions.

 

Net gains on foreign exchange transactions (represent 18% of the total) fell -20.3% QoQ. This was due mainly to lower gains on foreign exchange transactions at BCP Stand-alone, which was attributable to a decrease in volume and losses on currency trading due to the QoQ depreciation in the US Dollar (-2.49%). Credicorp Capital also reported losses (-36% QoQ) on exchange rate transactions due to long-positions in foreign currency.

 

Other income fell -15.4% QoQ. This was due mainly to extraordinary income in 4Q15 at Edyficar.

The QoQ evolution in fee income, net gains of foreign exchange transactions and other income offset higher gains on sales of securities and gains from associates.

 

 32

 

 

Net gains on sales of securities reported an increase of +132.4% QoQ, which was mainly attributable to Credicorp Capital’s equity business in Colombia and Chile.

 

Net gain from associates, which comes from the agreement between Grupo Pacifico and Banmedica for the health business, is shown in the following table:

 

   Quarter 
Millions (S/)  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16 
(+) EPS contribution (50%)   5.0    8.5    7.5 
(-) Medical service deduction (50%)   -2.4    -1.1    -4.0 
(=) Net gain from associates excluding               
Non-recurring income/expense   2.6    7.4    3.5 
(+) Non-recurring income/expense   144.2    -10.3    - 
(=) Net gain from associates   146.8    -2.9    3.5 

 

i)A 50% contribution to net earnings due to the corporate health insurance and medical services business, which were equivalent to S/7.5 million; this represented a drop of -11.8% QoQ due to an increase in the acquisition cost, general expenses and lower financial income.

 

ii)A deduction equivalent to 50% of the net earnings generated in the private health insurance businesses that the Grupo Pacifico manages, which totaled S/4.0 million in 1Q15. This represented 263.6% growth QoQ that was attributable to an increase in the Private Medical line’s business, which was associated with more sales of the Multisalud product.

 

It is important to note that in 1Q15 and 4Q15 the total amount includes non-recurring income/expenses, with the exception of those discussed above, there was a -52.2% drop QoQ and an increase of +36.2% YoY in Net gain from associates.

 

The figure below shows the contribution of each of Credicorp’s subsidiaries to growth in Credicorp’s fee income in 1Q16. It is evident that banking fees fell slightly QoQ:

The table below shows the evolution of the main components of fee income in the banking business:

 

Composition of fee income in the banking business

 

Fee Income  Quarter   % change 
S/. 000  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16   QoQ   YoY 
Miscellaneous accounts (1)   143,259    170,579    165,928    -2.7%   15.8%

Others (4)   38,304    41,894    37,888    -9.6%   -1.1%
Total fee income   519,631    568,630    564,336    -0.8%   8.6%

(1) Saving accounts, current accounts, debit card and master account.

(2) Mainly Retail fees.

(3) Mainly Wholesale fees.

(4) Includes fees from BCP Bolivia, Edyficar, network usage and other services to third parties, among others.

 

Fee income in the banking business fell -0.8% QoQ and increased +8.6% YoY. This was due mainly to the evolution of business at BCP, which is the main generator of this type of income.

 

The evolution of fee income in the banking business fell slightly QoQ and increased +8.6% YoY due to better performance. It is important to note that this analysis places emphasis on the comparison with 1Q15 given that 4Q is positively affected by the aforementioned seasonality in the transactional banking business. The most noteworthy points were:

 

i)The Miscellaneous Accounts line fell slightly QoQ due to seasonal effects in 4Q15. Nevertheless, there was a significant increase YoY (+15.8%) due to an increase in the transactions volume in savings accounts, current accounts and credit cards.

 

 34

 

 

ii)Fee income for Credit Cards (+11.7% QoQ) grew due to higher fees for late payments and credit card memberships. Expenses also fell after a penalty was paid in December 2015 for S/1,506 MM after the bank failed to meet Amex’s target.

 

iii)Collections and payments fell slightly QoQ due to seasonal factors. Nevertheless, more commissions were posted YoY (+7.3%) due to more efficient management.

 

iv)Growth in commissions in corporate finance (+45.3% QoQ) due to a waiver fee received in the month of January.

 

The YoY evolution of the aforementioned lines offset the drop in fees for Mortgage Loans (-46.2% YoY) and Personal Loans (-15% YoY).

 

6.Insurance underwriting result

 

The insurance underwriting result fell -11.5% QoQ. This was due mainly to an increase in the acquisition cost in the property and casualty line8 and in life insurance due to a decrease in underwriting income after profit-sharing in 4Q15. Nevertheless, net earned premiums increased this quarter in both the P & C and Life lines while the loss ratio for the P & C business dropped. In the YoY analysis, the underwriting result increased 23.6%, which was due primarily to growth in the net earned premium (mainly in the P & C business).

 

Insurance underwriting result  Quarter   % change 
S/000  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16   QoQ   YoY 
Net earned premiums   404,496    436,161    453,237    3.9%   12.0%
Net claims   (232,275)   (278,354)   (263,923)   -5.2%   13.6%
Acquisition cost (1)   (75,970)   (23,415)   (70,380)   200.6%   -7.4%
Total insurance underwriting result   96,251    134,392    118,934    -11.5%   23.6%

(1) Includes net fees and underwriting expenses.

 

Total underwriting result by business

(S/ millions)

1) Includes medical assistance for dependents and medical services.

 

 

8 Property and casualty insurance includes the car insurance line, private health insurance and P & C. Private health insurance corresponds to health insurance that is managed by Grupo Paficico and for which Banmedica receives 50% of the net earnings as stipulated in the joint venture agreement.

6.1Net earned premiums

 

Written premiums by business   Net earned premiums by business
(S/ millons)   (S/ millons)
     

 

(1) Includes medical assistance for dependents and medical services.

 

Total premiums fell slightly QoQ due to a decrease in premium turnover in both P & C and Life Insurance:

 

(i)The evolution of the P & C business was due to a decrease in premium turnover in property and casualty (fire, marine hulls and technical lines) that was offset by higher premiums in the car and private health insurance lines.

 

(ii)The decline in life insurance was due to the annuities line, which reported lower sales of retirement policies. This attenuated the increase seen in premium turnover in other business lines, which was led by Group Life, due to annual policy renewals, and by Credit Life, due to higher turnover in the Mibanco and Individual Life channels, which was associated with the exchange rate effect.

 

Nevertheless, net earned premiums increased +3.9% QoQ due to a higher reserve levels both for P & C and life as well as fewer ceded claims in P & C insurance. Lower reserves in the Life line were due to a decrease in premiums in Annuities while the drop in P & C was attributable to the car and property and casualty lines. A decrease in ceded premiums was evident in the P & C business due to lower premium turnover this quarter.

 

6.2Net claims

 

Net claims by business

(S/ million)

 

(1) Includes medical assistance for dependents and medical services.

 

Net claims fell 5.2% QoQ, which was due to an increase in the loss ratio for the P&C business, due mainly to: (1) the evolution of private healthcare insurance that was associated with an increase in median costs of oncological products in 4Q15 and, (2) in the car insurance line, with fewer claims for comprehensive risk coverage. This scenario mitigated higher claims in the Life Insurance line, particularly in i) group life (SCTR), due to an up-dating of costs, changes in the status of judicial cases, and in ii) annuities due to accruals on previous periods.

 

 36

 

 

6.3Acquisition cost

Acquisition cost by Business

(S/. million)

 

(1) Includes medical assistance for dependents and medical services.

 

The increase in the acquisition cost was due primarily to a decrease in underwriting income, which was associated with growth in profit-sharing with reinsurance entities in the P & C business and in the Life line in 4Q15. Fees increased in Life Insurance and in the P & C line. The underwriting result this quarter posted an increase in the P & C line due to growth in provisions for uncollectible reinsurance.

 

Acquisition cost  Quarter   % change 
S/000  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16   QoQ   YoY 
Net fees   (62,613)   (38,679)   (54,921)   42.0%   -12.3%
Underwriting expenses   (24,816)   (20,112)   (29,928)   48.8%   20.6%

7.Operating expenses and efficiency

 

The efficiency ratio9 improved 220 bps QoQ due to the significant reduction in operating expenses that offset the slight decrease in operating income. YoY, the efficiency ratio deteriorated 40 bps due to higher salaries and employees benefits, which reflect mainly the effect of business expansion on variable remunerations, and in a lesser extent the slight deterioration in the efficiency of other subsidiaries of Credicorp.

 

Operating expenses  Quarter   % change 
S/. 000  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16   QoQ   YoY 
Salaries and employees benefits   715,195    740,924    735,970    -0.7%   2.9%

(1) Operating income = Net interest income + Fee income + Gain on foreign exchange transactions + Net gain from associates + Net premiums earned.

(2) Operating expenses = Total operating expenses + Acquisition cost - Other operating expenses.

(3) Operating expenses / Operating income. Figures differ from previously reported, please consider the data presented on this report.

(4) Annualized operating currency / Average of Total Assets. Average are calculated with period-beginning and period-ending balances.

 

Total Operating Expenses posted a decline of -6.5% QoQ due to a drop in Administrative, General and Tax expenses, mainly at BCP Stand-alone. Expenses fell in:

(i)Marketing, due to more transactions in December in the Programa Lanpass and lower expenses for advertising given that the first few months of the year are less dynamic in our businesses lines;
(ii)Lower expenses due to a decrease in legal expenses relative to extrajudicial debt-collections, printing and expenses relative to the service quality program;
(iii)Consultancy; and
(iv)Programming and systems, due mainly to license maintenance.

 

In the YoY analysis, total Operating Expenses posted an increase due to higher expenses for:

(i)Salaries and employee benefits, due to an increase in the number of employees due to the acquisition of Mibanco and organic growth; and
(ii)Administrative and General expenses and Taxes, due to an increase in expenses for Taxes and Contributions, Other Expenses and Outsourcing at BCP Stand-alone, which was partially offset by a drop in expenses for Marketing and Minor Expenses at Mibanco and a decrease in expenses for Channels at BCP Stand-alone.

The operating expenses/ total average assets ratio posted a decline of -40 bps QoQ and -30 bps YoY. This was due primarily to lower growth in operating expenses than in total assets (+2.6% QoQ and 13.4% YoY).

(2) (Operating income + acquisition cost - other expenses) / (Net interest income + fee income + Net gain from associates + net earned premiums)

 

Operating income contracted QoQ due to lower income from Gains on FX Transactions, mainly at BCP Stand-alone, due to the Sol’s volatility against the US Dollar. YoY an increase was posted in operating income, which was attributable to higher net interest income, particularly at BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco, due to loan expansion.

 

The QoQ analysis indicates that the efficiency ratio was situated at 42.2% at the end of 1Q16, which represented a decline of -220 bps with regard to the 44.4% posted in 4Q15. This evolution was due to lower administrative and general expenses at:

 

(i)BCP Stand-alone, which reported a decline of -440 bps QoQ in it is efficiency ratio due to lower marketing expenses, minor expenses, expenses for consultancy services and programming and systems; and
(ii)Bolivia, due to lower expenses for third party services and a drop in expenses for Taxes and Contributions after the Tax on Sales of Foreign Currency (IVME) went into effect on December 5, 2015.

 

Despite the decrease reported QoQ, the YoY efficiency ratio grew +40 bps YoY due to:

 

(i)Prima, due to higher expenses for programming and systems outsourcing; and

 

 39

 

 

(ii)Credicorp Capital, due to higher expenses for Salaries and Employee Benefits, which were associated with incentives (mainly at Credicorp Capital Chile) and less income due to lower gains in foreign exchange transactions.

(1) Tier I = capital + restricted capital reserves + Tier I minority interest - goodwill - (0.5 x investment in equity and subordinated debt of financial and insurance companies) + perpetual subordinated debt.

(2) Tier II = subordinated debt + TierII minority interest tier + loan loss reserves - (0.5 x investment in equity and subordinated debt of financial and insurance companies).

(3) Tier III = Subordinated debt covering market risk only.

(4) Regulatory Capital / Total Regulatory Capital Requirements (legal minimum = 1.00).

 

At the end of March 2016, Credicorp reported a capitalization level that was 1.21 times higher than the capital required by the regulating entity in Peru. This ratio increased QoQ due to higher growth in Credicorp’s regulatory capital (+12.1%) than in the regulatory capital requirement (+5.1% QoQ).

 

The QoQ growth in regulatory capital was due primarily to higher facultative and restricted reserves in March 2016 after declaring the distribution of net income generated in 2015.

 

The QoQ increase in the regulatory capital requirement was due mainly to the consolidated financial group, which registered higher equity growth. This was in turn attributable to an increase in average risk-weighted assets at BCP Stand-alone, which was associated with growth of 1.7% QoQ in total loans (measured in quarter-end balances and based on local accounting results).

 

It is important to note that Tier 1 represents 58% of Credicorp’s total regulatory capital, which is similar to the 58.2% posted in 4Q15.

(1) Up to 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets.

(2) Tier 1 = Capital + Legal and other capital reserves + Accumulated earnings with capitalization agreement + Unrealized profit and net income in subsidiaries - Goodwill - (0.5 x Investment in subsidiaries) + Perpetual subordinated debt (maximum amount that can be included is 17.65% of Capital + Reserves + Accumulated earnings with capitalization agreement + Unrealized profit and net income in subsidiaries - Goodwill).

(3) Tier 2 = Subordinated debt + Loan loss reserves - (0.5 x Investment in subsidiaries).

(4) Tier 3 = Subordinated debt covering market risk only. Tier 3 exists since 1Q10.

(5) It includes capital requirement to cover price and rate risk.

(6) Adjusted Risk-Weighted Assets = Risk-weighted assets - ( RWA Intangible assets, excluding goodwill, + RWA Deferred tax assets generated as a result of temporary differences in income tax, in excess of 10% of CET1, + RWA Deferred tax assets generated as a result of past losses).

At the end of 1Q16, the BIS ratio was situated at 15.00%, which topped the figure posted at the end of 4Q15 (14.34%). This was due to lower growth in average risk-weighted assets (RWAs, +1.4% QoQ) than in regulatory capital (+4.2% QoQ). Growth in capital stock after the agreements made at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in March 2016 to approve an increase in capital stock and in legal reserves.

 

The expansion in RWAs was due to an increase in credit risk weighted assets (+1.7%) following +2.1% growth QoQ in total loans at BCP Stand-alone (measured in quarter-end balances and based on local accounting results).

 

The Tier 1 ratio rose from 9.61% in 4Q15 to 10.39% in 1Q16 due to the evolution of Tier 1 (+9.6% QoQ) vs RWAs.

 

Finally, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio, which is considered the most rigorous when it comes to measuring capitalization levels, reported a QoQ contraction, falling from 9.34% in 4Q15 to 8.81% in 1Q16. The aforementioned was due to a decrease in accumulated and period results, which is typical in 1Ts. It is important to note that the figures for 4Q15 and 1Q16 include a methodological adjustment in the RWAs, which consists of removing risk-weighted assets relative to intangibles from the denominator given that the same are recognized as deductions in the CET1.

(1) Mibanco does not have Agentes or ATMs because it uses the BCP network. Mibanco branches include Banco de la Nacion branches, which in 1Q15, 4Q15 and 1Q16 were 38.

 

The distribution channels at BCP, Mibanco and BCP Bolivia registered a total of 9,139 points of contact at the end of 1Q16, which represents a decrease of -25 units QoQ.

 

BCP posted a total of 8,461 points of contact at the end of 1Q16, which represented a reduction of -26 QoQ. The aforementioned was due primarily to a decrease in the number of Agentes BCP (-41 QoQ) in Lima. As such, in the current context, 46% of the total number of BCP’s points of contact is in the provinces.

.

The number of Mibanco branches totaled 324 in 1Q16, which represented an increase of one unit QoQ. It is important to note that Mibanco has an agreement with the Banco de la Nacion, which allows it to use the latter’s offices at the national level to reduce operating costs. At the end of 1Q16, these branches represented 12% of the total number of branches (38 branches).

 

BCP Bolivia increased its Agentes (+50 QoQ), in keeping with its growth strategy.

 

In the YoY analysis, the total number of points of contact at BCP increased (+1,010 YoY). This was due to an increase in Agentes BCP and in ATMs, in line with the organization’s banking penetration and expansion plan. BCP Bolivia increased its points of contact (+50 YoY), which was primarily attributable to the increase in Agentes and ATMs. This was in line with the organization’s growth strategy, which aims to reach 150 points of contact at the end of 2016. During this period, Mibanco registered a decrease in its number of branches (-3 YoY), in line with proximity criteria and client concentration levels.

(1) Figures include monetary and non-monetary transactions.

 

The monthly average of transactions fell QoQ. This was due mainly to a decrease in the transactions volume at ATM machines, ViaBCP Internet Banking and Telecredito due to seasonal factors that characterized 4Q15.

 

The YoY analysis, which excludes the seasonal effect, shows an increase in the monthly average of transactions (+8.2%). The aforementioned was due primarily to an increase in the transactions volume through cost-efficient channels, such as:

 

i)Mobile Banking (+68.3% YoY), which continued to increase its share of total transactions due to its mobile applications “Banca Celular BCP” and “Tus Beneficios BCP.”
ii)P.O.S Points of Sale (+14.9% YoY), thanks to a campaign to install P.O.S Visanet for SMEs with a BCP Current Account at no cost to the client.
iii)ATMs (+9.8% YoY), which went hand-in-hand with the increase in points of contact YoY.
iv)Internet Banking (+5.4% YoY), due to “Al Token” and “KMS.LANPASS” campaigns.

 

The channels that reported a YoY decrease in their transactions volume were: Balance Inquiries (-26.9% YoY) and Tellers (-7.9% YoY), which was in line with the migration to cost-efficient channels.

10.Economic outlook

 

Economic activity

 

In 1Q16, the economy grew about 4.0% YoY, lower than the 4Q15 figure (4.7% YoY), with a two-speed economy due to the differentiated dynamics between primary (7.9 % YoY) and non-primary sectors (2.9 % YoY).

 

The Primary GDP grew around 7.9% YoY. This was linked to the results in the Mining sector. In fact, by growing 21% YoY (above the 15.5% YoY recorded throughout 2015), it explained half the GDP growth during the first quarter (1.9pp.). The larger copper (+48%) and silver (+14%) production comes in a context of increasing productive capacity. In contrast, the Fuel sector limited the GDP growth (-0.5pp.) as it was negatively impacted by failures in the main duct transport system of crude oil (-24%) and natural gas liquids (-20%). Also, Fishing grew 2% due to the anchovy season during November 2015 and January 2016, despite the lower landings for direct human consumption.

 

On the other hand, the non-primary sectors grew about 2.9% YoY in 1Q16 (4T15: 2.8% YoY), above 2015 average (2.4%). This reflects a Construction sector advance (2.4% YoY) after four quarters of decline due to the rebound in public investment (18.7% YoY). Furthermore, Commerce and Services decelerated by advancing 2.7% YoY (4Q15: 3.9% YoY) and 4.3% YoY (4Q15: 4.5% YoY), respectively.

Inflation

 

In March 2016, inflation was 0.6% month to month, lower than March 2015 (0.75% month to month). The annual inflation decreased to 4.3% at the end of 1Q16, from 4.6% in January 2016. Besides seasonal factors (beginning of the school year), relevant increases in prices of some components of the food basket (vegetables, legumes and meat) were related to supply problems provoked by El Niño.

Monetary policy

 

After the BCRP increased the reference rate from 3.50% to 4.25% between September 2015 and February 2016, the entity maintained its reference rate in 4.25% during the March 2016 reunion and again in April 2016 because the increase in prices of some foods, public services and the currency depreciation are reverting. Also, the BCRP is more comfortable in a context where the twelve month inflation expectations have decreasing, the exchange rate has appreciated and the FED has taken a more dovish posture.

Fiscal Accounts

 

In March 2015, the accumulated fiscal deficit in the last twelve months was 2.8% of GDP, explained mainly by lower revenues of the General Government (March 2016: 19.6% of GDP, March 2015: 21.8% of GDP). The public spending was recovered between February 2016 and March 2016 due to the advance of public projects. During 1Q16, the public investment grew 18.6% YoY and would have contributed 0.5 percentage points of GDP during the 1Q16, first positive register in seven months, guided mainly by subnational governments (National Government: -2.5%, Regional Government: 5.2%, Local Governments: 64.4%).

External Accounts

 

In the first two months of the year, the trade balance accumulated a deficit of USD 701 million, higher than registered in the same period 2015 (USD -552 million). Exports in value fell 11.4% YoY in January/February, associated with the drop of 14.9% in prices, due mainly to the lower quotation of traditional products (-20.7%). In contrast, the volume of exports rose 4.1% (traditional: 10.9%, non-traditional: -8.7%). In the same period, imports decreased -7.8% in value due to a drop of 1.0% in volumes associated to the lower acquisitions of consumer goods (-4.2%) and capital goods (-3.3%). In addition, there was a drop of 6.9% in the imports prices due to the lower input quotations (-17.6%), where the drop in petroleum and crude oil prices highlighted (-38.9%).

Exchange Rate

 

In March 2016, the exchange rate closed in USDPEN 3.313, registering an appreciation of 6.0% compared to the previous month (the higher monthly appreciation in 25 years). In this way, the exchange rate reversed the accumulated depreciation during January and February 2016 (3.2%) and accumulated an appreciation of 3.0% during 1Q16. The appreciation registered in March was explained by a change in the perception of emergent markets due to the lower aversion for global risk. Investors searched for higher returns in more risky assets such as commodities, bonds, stocks and currencies from emergent markets. Consequently, a mayor part of the regional currencies registered a similar behavior at the end of 1Q16, reversing the depreciation of the two first months of the year, except the Mexican peso (BRA: -9.3%, CHI: -5.8%, COL:-5.4%, PEN:-3.0%, MEX: 0.4%). The local currency appreciated up to USDPEN 3.268 by the 21st of April, after the first electoral results.

(1)Mainly includes intangible assets, other receivable accounts and tax credit. The increase in Other assets in 1Q16 is due mainly to the reclassification of Assets (S/8 million) from Banco de Crédito de Bolivia (BCB Bolivia) and Inversiones Credicorp Bolivia (ICBSA) as an investment available for sale. The aforementioned is a result of the approval of Banco de Credito del Peru’s management to transfer the shares of BCP Bolivia and ICBSA to other Credicorp’s subsidiary.
(2)Mainly includes other payable accounts. Also the increase in 1Q16 is due mainly to the reclassification of Assets (S/6.8 million) from BCB Bolivia and ICBSA.

From 1Q15 and on, Grupo Pacifico’s financial statements reflect the joint venture with Banmedica (to participate as equal partners, 50/50). This partnership includes:

 

i)the private health insurance business, which is managed by Grupo Pacifico and incorporated in each line of Grupo Pacifico’s financial statements;
ii)corporate health insurance for payroll employees; and
iii)medical services.

 

 58

 

 

The businesses described in ii) and iii) are managed by Banmedica, therefore they do not consolidate in Grupo Pacifico’s financial statements. The 50% of net income generated by Banmedica is recorded in Grupo Pacifico’s Income Statement as a gain/loss on investments in subsidiaries.

 

As explained before, corporate health insurance and medical services businesses are consolidated by Banmedica. The following table reflects the consolidated results from which Grupo Pacifico receives the 50% net income.
