  Second Quarter 2013 Results
   
  Lima, Peru, August 08, 2013 - Credicorp (NYSE:BAP) announced today its unaudited results for the second quarter of 2013. These results are reported on a consolidated basis in accordance with IFRS in nominal U.S. Dollars.
   
  HIGHLIGHTS
   
  · The first half of this year, and especially 2Q, was marked by strong volatility in the FX market and strength in the US Dollar vis-à-vis local currency, which had a significant impact on Credicorp’s US Dollar results.
  · Consequently, given that the US Dollar is Credicorp’s functional currency, the company’s 2Q numbers incorporate the full impact of the 7.5% devaluation reported this period as well as all of the 9% devaluation in local currency for 1H13. This led to (1) significant distortions in portfolio growth and income generation reported by most of Credicorp’s Nuevos Soles denominated businesses, which currently contribute more than 87% of the corporation’s income; and (2) translation losses and a valuation loss on structural forward contracts, both of which arise from the construction of our Nuevos Soles denominated equity portion in our books.
  · In this context, Credicorp reported net earnings after minority interest of US$ 54.5 million this 2Q, after a US$ 78.5 million translation loss and a US$ 32.9 million loss in the valuation of the structural forward contracts are deducted from its operating results. This result was 70% lower than the US$ 181.5 million reported in the 1Q, which in turn included a translation loss of US$ 18.6 million and a structural forward valuation loss of US$ 11.7 million. Consequently, ROAE dropped to a 5.4% for the Q.  
  · In consolidated US Dollar terms, net interest income dropped 2.2% for the Q while non-financial income declined 8.3%. However, a closer look at business performance indicates that the evolution is highly favorable, with stronger income generation and margins, when evaluating the performance in the currency in which the businesses are conducted.
  · Adjusted net interest income in Nuevos Soles (excl. valuation of derivatives) expanded around 7.9% QoQ and 21.6% YoY, revealing a dynamic banking business that was also characterized by increases in market shares for retail products. However, given that 87% of NII is Nuevos Soles denominated, the FX movement hid this stronger income generation when expressed in US Dollars. Adding to this the loss of structural forward contracts, and the drop in NII of the US Dollar portfolio, the total NII reported in US Dollars drops 2.2% this Q. This distortion is also reflected in the NIM, which fell to 4.81%.
  · Growth of average daily balances recorded by currency shows that the Nuevos Soles portfolio (80% retail) expanded by a robust 5.7% QoQ  while the US Dollar portfolio reflected the 2.8% contraction in the corporate business line. The Nuevos Soles portfolio expanded 23.4% YoY and the US Dollar portfolio 10.4%; both very strong numbers. However, given the devaluation, consolidated US Dollar reporting showed that growth was only up 0.4% in the retail business while the wholesale business dropped 3.8%. This led to consolidated growth in average daily balances in US Dollars of -1.4%: an absolute distortion of real performance.
  · Similar to the Credit Card business, where delinquency ratios have improved due to adjustments to models, the low segment of SME posted a deviation this 2Q that led delinquencies in this business to rise 7.6%. This in turn led the overall PDL ratio to increase 11 bps to 2.11% for 2Q13. This deviation led us to make important adjustments in our scoring models for SMEs. As such, provisions increased 21.4% for the Q.
  · Fee income (72% Nuevos Soles) grew 8.4% for the Q despite the local currency devaluation. This denotes very strong growth that was driven by positive results in the pension fund business, which posted excellent expansion this Q, and by good evolution of banking fees. Net gains on FX transactions also reported strong growth of 12% this Q due to FX-volatility in the market. However, the securities in our portfolio were negatively affected by an increase in interest rates for the US Dollar, which generated mark downs in the values for these securities across markets, and led to a US$ 11.5 million mark down. All in all, total non-financial income dropped 8.3% for the Q.
  · The performance of the insurance business was also affected by the FX volatility given that approximately 48% of net earned premiums are Nuevos Soles-denominated. Therefore, the 2.2% posted for net premium growth understates this component’s real expansion. Claims increased in the Health and Life business, which led the underwriting result to drop 15% QoQ. The medical services business, on the other hand, is performing well and posted a 16.8% improvement in its underwriting result. The bottom line, however, was affected by a large translation loss of over US$ 6 million.
  · Operating expenses, on the other hand, benefited from devaluation given that 72% of today’s expenses are Nuevos Soles-denominated. In this context, total OpEx grew 3.5% this 2Q driven primarily by our network expansion plan, which continues due to the good evolution of the business and strong growth in different business segments.
  · Due to all of the aforementioned distortions, operating income reported in US Dollars dropped 26.1% this 2Q to US$ 204.4 million.
  · In addition to the translation and forward valuation losses related to the Nuevos Soles portion of Credicorp’s equity, taxes remained high and totaled another US$ 71 million given that they are determined based on Nuevos Soles accounting results, which are higher than US Dollar results.
 

· Notwithstanding, and looking beyond the impact of the currency devaluation, which is reflected in a US$111.4 million non-cash loss related to the Nuevos Soles portion of Credicorp’s equity (translation + forward contract) and of an additional estimated US$ 15.1 million in taxes, the results of Credicorp’s businesses are strong and in line with expected growth and profitability ratios for each portfolio in each currency. However, two negative events in the 2Q were: i) the need for an additional US$ 20 million in provisions (temporary increase in SME delinquencies) and ii) the US$11.5 million loss on the market value of bond holdings due to higher interest rates in US Dollars. All of these negative, non-recurring events explain over US$ 158 million of losses that depress Credicorp’s reported net income for this 2Q13.

Overview

 

During the second Q of this year, the volatility of the local currency in our market surpassed all precedents in the last 20 years. These variations were attributable to changes in the Central Bank’s policies and the fact that US dollar has strengthened worldwide. Given that Credicorp is one of the few companies in the region that reports in US Dollars, its results incorporate the impact of currency volatility at a level not seen in other businesses in the region.

 

In the past, while the US Dollar remained the dominant currency in the different businesses of Credicorp, this exposure was small and easily managed. However, as the local currency gained importance and began to dominate in Credicorp’s core businesses, our corporation became more exposed to currency fluctuations when reporting in US Dollars.

 

Therefore, the results for this 2Q13 incorporate the full impact of the 7.5% devaluation for the Q and the 9% devaluation of local currency for the first half of the year. This has generated a significant distortion in the reported volumes for growth and income generation at most of Credicorp’s Nuevos Soles-denominated businesses, which currently contribute over 87% of the corporation’s net interest income, and have generated translation losses and valuation loss on a structural forward contracts, both of which arise from efforts to protect the capitalization ratios of the organization through the construction of a Nuevos Soles denominated equity portion in our books.

 

In this context, Credicorp reported net earnings after minority interest of US$ 54.5 million this 2Q13 after deducting the US$ 78.5 million translation loss and a US$ 32.9 million loss on the valuation of the structural forward contracts from its operating results and considering an additional estimated US$ 15.1 million in taxes on higher earnings reported in Nuevos Soles. This result was 70% lower than the US$ 181.5 million reported in 1Q, which in turn included a translation loss of US$18.6 million and a structural forward valuation loss of US$ 11.7 million. Consequently, ROAE dropped to 5.4% for the Q.

 

Given that a portion of the equity in Nuevos Soles is constructed through the structural forward contracts, which affects net interest income when valued at market rates, and considering that said net interest income is about 87% Nuevos Soles-denominated and therefore affected by the conversion to US Dollars at a devalued exchange rate, Credicorp´s results have been negatively impacted in basically all lines of its income statement when reporting in US Dollars.

 

Therefore, net interest income dropped 2.2% for the Q and non-financial income dropped 8.3%.

 

However, a more detailed look at the performance of the business denotes a truly healthy business evolution with stronger income generation and margins, when evaluating the performance in the currency in which the businesses are conducted.

(3) Figures with total results expressed in US Dollar IFRS.

 

In fact, adjusted net interest income in Nuevos Soles expanded 7.9% QoQ and 21.6% YoY, if we exclude the impact of other interest income and other interest expenses that are related to derivatives valuations resulting from the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol. The aforementioned expansion reveals a dynamic banking business that posted strong increases in market shares in the retail products. However, the FX movement hid this stronger income generation and led to report a 0.4% QoQ and 16.8% YoY growth once incorporating the impact of devaluation. This, added to a drop of -9.7% QoQ in adjusted US Dollar NII resulted in the -1.5% drop QoQ in adjusted NII. However reported NII includes the loss on valuation of structural forwards included in Other expenses, which intensified the drop in NII to a level of -2.2% QoQ. This distortion is also reflected in the NIM, which dropped to 4.81%.

This is in line with the loan book growth (growth of average daily balances) recorded for both portfolios: the Nuevos Soles portfolio, which is mainly dominated (approx. 80%) by the retail business, expanded a robust 5.7% QoQ while the US Dollar portfolio reflected the contraction in the corporate business following several international initial stock/bond offerings by major Peruvian corporations and a slowdown in business expansion, and contracted 2.8% QoQ. However, in year-on-year terms, the Nuevos Soles portfolio expanded 23.4% and the US Dollar portfolio 10.4%, which are both very strong numbers. However, the effect of the devaluation in the consolidated US Dollar reporting of the portfolio evolution hid this strong performance and led us to report mere 0.4% growth in the retail business and a contraction of 3.8% in the wholesale business; this in turn led to consolidated growth of average daily balances in US Dollars of -1.4%: a complete distortion of real performance.

 

Our conditions for portfolio quality required us to set aside additional provisions as we continue the process to adjust the models we use to penetrate low income sectors. Similar to the Credit Card business, which is currently performing well within expectations in all new vintages after adjustments were introduced and is already showing an improvement in its delinquency ratios, the low segment of SME has experienced deviations that have led to an increase in delinquencies to 7.6% of this portfolio, which caused the overall PDL ratio to increase 11bps and situate at 2.11% in 2Q13. This deviation prompted us to make significant adjustments in our models and conduct a thorough revision of the business model we use to evaluate low-income SME. Although this segment currently requires additional provisions, these needs should subside over time as the adjustments made begin to have an effect. In this context, provisions increased 21.4% QoQ. However, this situation was attenuated by the devaluation given that more than 90% of provisions are booked in local currency.

 

Fee income, which is 72% Nuevos Soles-denominated, grew 8.4% for the Q despite the negative effect of the devaluation of the local currency. This indicates that expansion, which was driven by significantly better banking fees and good growth in our pension fund business this Q, was quite noteworthy. Net gains on FX transactions, which are positively affected by the FX-volatility in the market, also expanded significantly to post 12% growth for the Q. However, the securities in our portfolio suffered from interest rate increases for the US Dollar; this generated significant mark downs in value of these securities in all markets and led to a US$ 11.5 million mark down in sovereign bonds reflected in net gain on sales and securities. Therefore, total non-financial income dropped 8.3% for the Q.

 

The performance of the insurance business was also affected by FX volatility given that approximately 48% of net earned premiums are Nuevos Soles-denominated. As such, net premium growth of 2.2% is understated if compared to portfolio growth in each currency. Claims increase in both the Health and Life business this Q, which led the underwriting result to decline 15%. The medical services business, on the other hand, is performing well and has posted a 16.8% increase in its underwriting result this Q.

 

Operating expenses benefitted from the devaluation this Q given that approximately 72% of all expenses are currently Nuevos Soles-denominated. Therefore, these expenses expressed in US Dollars remained fairly flat, hiding a stronger expansion related to business growth, while expenses in US Dollars were inflated by an accounting loss related to the transfer of Correval assets from BCP to Credicorp Capital. Accordingly, total OpEx grew 3.5% this 2Q. Excluding the Correval transaction, OpEx expansion was certainly lower reaching an estimated 2.2% growth QoQ, but understated by the devaluation of the LC.

 

Due to the aforementioned distortions, the US Dollar operating income reported this 2Q dropped 26.1% to US$ 204.4 million.

 

As indicated above, the unexpectedly high rate of devaluation of the local currency this 2Q resulted in a significant translation loss on the Nuevos Soles portion of Credicorp’s equity for US$ 78.5 million. In addition taxes, which are determined based on the Nuevos Soles accounting results and as such were significantly higher than US Dollar results this Q, remained high and totaled another US$ 71 million.

 

Consequently, and after all these non-cash / accounting losses, and as results are converted to US Dollars for reporting purposes, Credicorp’s bottom line fell to US$ 54.5 million.

 

Notwithstanding, beyond the impact of the devaluation of the currency, the results of Credicorp’s businesses are strong and in line with the expected growth and profitability ratios for each portfolio and in each currency. Portfolio quality is sound despite the temporary deterioration in the low end SME sector, which led to a need for higher provisions, and fee income remains strong.

Credicorp – The Sum of Its Parts

 

The US Dollar results reported this period, have masked the fact that Credicorp’s business development in 2Q13 continued to be strong: the retail Nuevos Soles-denominated portfolio grew at a strong pace while the US Dollar-denominated portfolio (mainly corporate) contracted given that corporate clients made significant moves to tap the international markets. Income generation was also strong, with local currency- denominated income (+85% of total income generation) increasing at a sound pace: 3.4% for interest income and 7.4% for fee income. Higher provisions were needed, but NIMs on the loan book improved 9bps to compensate for the increased cost of risk. Growth and profitability targets for the different portfolios (in the different currencies) are being met. However, given that significant portions of our business are currently Nuevo Soles- denominated and the fact that our portfolios are increasingly denominated in Nuevos Soles, a substantial move in the exchange rate like the one experienced this 1H13 significantly affect our US Dollar reporting, as was the case this last Q.

 

Given that our banking business is primarily a Nuevos Soles-based business, BCP’s Dollar denominated reporting was also significantly affected by the exchange rate move and reported US$26.5 million in net income. This result incorporates however a loss related to the valuation of Correval when sold from BCP to Credicorp Capital, which is actually an internal accounting adjustment. Therefore when calculating BCP’s contribution, it is returned to BCP and improves its contribution to Credicorp to US$33.3 million. As previously explained, BCP’s business expansion this Q was sound and income generation remained strong when evaluated by currency, but reported results were affected by the translation losses associated with the devaluation of our local currency. ROAE for BCP reflected this effect and dropped to a completely distorted 4% for the Q.

This resulted from a lower non-financial income (after an extraordinarily high result in this line the previous Q) and higher provisions related to portfolio expansion. BCP Bolivia also reported a US$0.6 million translation loss as it has some investments in the Peruvian capital markets, which led its ROAE to drop to 12%.

 

Edyficar posted excellent performance and business evolution in its natural currency. In fact, Edyficar is a 98.7% Nuevo Soles business and its portfolio grew 6.5% QoQ and 44% YoY. This Q, NII was 9% up in Nuevos Soles while net income improved +28.2% up to S/.28.8 million from S/.22.5 million. However, when expressing its results in US Dollars for reporting purposes, we find that the devaluation effect has significantly distorted its performance. After this conversion, we see that its contribution drops 32% from US$7.9 million to US$5.4 million, which was the result of both the unfavorable exchange rate and a US$11.5 million translation loss.

 

Atlantic Security Bank (ASB) reported net income of US$13.4 million in 2Q13, which represented a drop of 13.4% with regard to 1Q13. This drop was due to (i) lower interest income following a contraction at the portfolio level, (ii) fewer earnings on investments, and (iii) losses on FX transactions due to the unexpected devaluation of the Nuevo Sol. Despite this evolution, ASB’s ROAE remained strong and reached 30.3%.

 

Pacifico Grupo Asegurador (PGA) reported a 52% decline in its contribution to Credicorp, which totaled US$ 5.5 million after deducting the US$6.4 million translation loss recorded for this 2Q. Reported net premium growth was 2% for the 2Q. This growth, however, was understated given that 48% of premiums are calculated in Nuevos Soles. Higher claims led to a decrease in the underwriting result. This was offset by the fact that the company’s investments performed very well, which led to a subsequent increase in financial income.

 

The Life business was again the top performer within the PGA and contributed to US$ 13.8 million to PGA. The P&C business, however, was a loss generator as it concentrated most of the translation loss. The EPS business (medical insurance) reported a 49% drop in its contribution, which totaled US$1.2 million. The medical segment (Clinics) is still in the development phase and incurred extraordinary expenses to launch its new Medical Services Brand, Sanna, and reported a loss of US$2.2 million for the 2Q.

 

Prima´s contribution to Credicorp reached US$14.4 million, up 24% from the previous Q. It is important to emphasize that income from commissions this quarter was affected by the following factors: (i) an increase of 6.1% was recorded in income in Nuevos Soles with regard to 1Q13 (local accounting); this same growth, calculated in US Dollars, was equivalent to 3.1% due to local currency devaluation; and (ii) the application of the IAS 18 (international accounting standard), which led to deferred income for US$ 1.4 million. In IFRS, these effects translated into a 1.0% drop in fee income and slightly lower operating income. Despite this evolution, lower tax provisions and a translation gain of US$1.6 million (the only entity in the group with a positive translation result) resulted in the increase reported in its net income. ROAE reached an extraordinary 38.8% for the Q.

Credicorp Capital reflects the results of the investment banking group, which is still facing some challenges relative to the consolidation and organizational process. Therefore, the results of the group are still affected by consolidation adjustments and the high cost of reorganizing all three operations. Credicorp Capital contributed a total of US$1.5 million in 2Q13, which fails to reflect the company’s real potential.

 

Credicorp Ltd’s line mainly includes provisions for tax retention on dividends paid to Credicorp (estimated US$3.7 million) and interest on investments in specific Peruvian companies. This 2Q in addition to tax provisions, a translation loss was recorded for dividend payments of US$9 million that inflated the result to a negative contribution of US$12.7 million.

 

The Others account encompasses the holding’s different companies, and mainly GrupoCrédito, which controls start-up operations such as Tarjeta Naranja, which is still in the red though largely compensated by income from the Fiduciary business and other investments.

 

Overall, Credicorp posted good growth and operating performance for the Q in the currencies in which the businesses are conducted. These results, however, were strongly affected by the devaluation of local currency this Q. ROAE dropped to 5.4% and includes all the accounting extraordinary and non-cash effects of said devaluation. It is however interesting to see that excluding only the effects of the devaluation in the Q (i.e. the translation loss of US$ 78.5 million, the loss in the structural forward valuation of US$ 32.9 million and the US$ 19.2 additional taxes related to this FX move), and including other non-recurrent losses such as the loss in the valuation of the bonds portfolio and the additional provisions for the Q, ROAE for Credicorp would be close to 18% for the 2Q13.

As the table indicates, in general terms Credicorp has maintained a comfortable capitalization level as a holding that is equivalent to 1.30 times the capital required by the Peruvian regulator. This ratio, which is higher than that reported at the end of 1Q13, was primarily due to: (i) the +12.7% increases in subordinated debt following the issuance of US$ 170 million in the international market in the month of April; (ii) a decrease in the market value of some of Credicorp’s investments, which translates into a smaller deduction when calculating cash equity; and (iii) the -2.2% QoQ decrease in the group’s capital requirements, which is due primarily to a reduction in the financial system’s consolidated requirement due to the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol in 2Q13.

 

It is also important to note that Tier 1 represents 59.6% of Credicorp’s total regulatory capital.

 

The table shows that the largest capital requirement (93.5%) comes from the financial business; BCP’s banking business represents 72.6% of this figure.

Credicorp’s capacity to generate income, coupled with its policy for earnings capitalization, dividend distribution, and reserves has ensured that the organization has the capital that it needs to expand its businesses.

 

Finally, it is important to note that Credicorp has considerable investments that it can liquidate to increase its regulatory capital by approximately US$ 600 million.

Summary 2Q13

 

The banking business registered an excellent performance but this was overshadowed by the impact of a 7.5% devaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the US Dollar in 2Q13. This effect not only led to a translation loss of US$ 63.4 million, a loss of US$ 32.9 million on forwards contracts, and an additional income tax of US$ 13.5 million, but also hid the excellent evolution of the local currency (LC) component of the business’s main lines. If we were to exclude the effect of the devaluation on the aforementioned lines, net income in 2Q13 totaled US$ 136.3 with an ROAE of 20.3% (vs. US$ 26.5 million in net income and 4.0% ROAE as reported).

Good business evolution this Q was reflected in:

 

i)Adjusted NII in LC, which represents 83.9% of total adjusted NII, expanded +4.7% QoQ and +20.4% YoY, if we exclude the valuation of derivatives impacted by the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol (Other income and Other expenses). This outstanding performance was in line with the excellent dynamic seen the loan portfolio. Nevertheless, the effect of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol; the contraction of -8.7% QoQ in adjusted NII in foreign currency (FC); and the aforementioned valuation of derivatives explain the -1.6% QoQ decline in NII.

 

ii)Banking service fees and gains on foreign currency transactions evolved very favorably and posted growth of 7.4% and 12.1% QoQ, respectively, despite the fact that 67.7% and 82.7% of these components, respectively, are generated in LC. The aforementioned was offset by a net loss on sales of securities (-US$ 27.0 million), which was primarily attributable to the performance of sovereign bonds in Latin America.

 

The aforementioned helped attenuate:

 

i)The 21.8% increase in provisions for loan losses, which was linked primarily with higher delinquency in the SME segment as well as an increase charge offs (US$ 72.9 million in 2Q13 vs US$ 59.3 million in 1Q13), which increased the provision stock by 2% QoQ.

 

ii)The +7.0% QoQ expansion in operating expenses due to an increase in administrative and other expenses; the latter was associated with the loss generated by Correval’s sale to Credicorp Capital, which is neutral in the consolidation of Credicorp subsidiaries’ results.

 

It is important to note that the NIM on loans expanded 9 bps QoQ, going from 8.10% to 8.19% at the end of 2Q13. This is clear evidence that the loan business is performing well given that this increase also includes the significant impact of a devaluation of the Nuevo Sol on proportionally higher income in LC.

 

In terms of operating efficiency, the efficiency ratio was situated at 49.3%. This figure is only slightly above the 48.7% reported in 1Q13 because the +1.7% QoQ increase in core income attenuated the increase in operating expenses.

Although total assets fell 7.9% QoQ, the loan portfolio performed very well. In fact, average daily balances in the LC portfolio, which represent 46.2% of total loans, were highly dynamic and posted growth of +5.7% QoQ and +23.4% YoY. This expansion was led primarily by significant growth in Retail Banking loans (+5.7 QoQ +28.8 YoY), where the Mortgage and SME segments were the most dynamic with rates of +8.9% QoQ and +6.4% QoQ, respectively. Edyficar, whose loans are mainly denominated in LC, posted an increase of +6.5% QoQ and +43.9% YoY. This excellent performance in the LC portfolio was overshadowed by the fact that the Nuevo Sol devaluated 7.5% against the US Dollar in 2Q13. The FC portfolio (mainly in Wholesale Banking) contracted -2.8% QoQ given that corporate clients moved to place international issuances to pay off debt obligations. All of these factors explain the -1.4% QoQ decline in the total loan portfolio.

 

The YoY evolution shows an excellent +15% expansion in the loan portfolio, which was primarily attributable to growth in LC loans (+23.4%) and FC loans (+10.4%), which significantly offset the impact of devaluation in the portfolio denominated in Nuevos Soles.

 

In terms of portfolio quality, the quarterly evolution shows that past-due loan (PDL) ratios are stable in virtually every segment. Along these lines, it is important to note that the PDL ratio in the Credit Card segment has declined, which indicates that the adjustments implemented were right as it is reflected in the better performance of the post-adjustment vintages. Nevertheless, PDL ratio of the SME segment rose to 7.6%, which explains most on the increase of 4.5% QoQ of total PDL portfolio. As a result, the PDL ratio increased 12 bps to situate at 2.16% at quarter-end (vs. 2.04% at the end of 1Q13) while the 90-day PDL ratio increased 10 bps, going from 1.35% to 1.45%. The 12 bps increase in the PDL ratio can be disaggregated as follows: (i) 9 bps were associated with the increase in the PDL portfolio, which is in turn explained mainly by the higher PDL ratio in the SME segment; and (ii) 3 bps due to the contraction in loans that in turn was attributable to the impact of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol, which cast a shadow over the excellent dynamism of LC-denominated loans.

 

Total liabilities fell -8.4% QoQ at the end of 2Q13, which was due primarily to: i) a contraction in Deposits (-7.2% QoQ), which are the main source of funding, that was accentuated by the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol given that approximately 55% of deposits are in local currency; and ii) the reduction in Other Liabilities (-57.4% QoQ), which was due primarily to the sale of Correval to Credicorp Capital in the month of June. The YoY evolution reported growth of +11.6%.

Finally, it is important to note that Core Income grew +1.7% QoQ and +14.2% YoY with all items showing an excellent performance that is evident when we analyze them in the currency they are generated.

 

II.1 Interest-earning assets

 

Interest-earning assets denominated in LC, which represent 46.9% of total interest-earning assets, expanded +1.4% QoQ; nevertheless, the impact of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol, and the -5.5% QoQ contraction of assets denominated in FC explain the -5.3% QoQ reduction in the total interest-earning asset level.

Total interest earning assets   1.4%   25.8%   46.9%   -5.5%   10.6%   53.1%

 

Interest-earning assets in LC posted growth of +1.4% QoQ and +25.8% YoY. Within these assets, LC loans performed particularly well and reported a +5.8% expansion QoQ and +22.5% YoY. This was due primarily to dynamism in the Retail Banking segment, which will be discussed in-depth later in this report.

 

Interest-earning assets in FC fell -5.5% QoQ. This was due primarily to a decrease in assets held in the BCR and other banks, as well as, a moderate contraction in FC loans, which was particularly evident in Wholesale Banking (to be discussed later). Nevertheless, this component expanded +10.6% YoY and posted growth in virtually every segment.

 

All of the aforementioned account for the -5.3% QoQ contraction in total interest-earning assets as outlined in the table below:

At the end of 2Q13, and taking into account average daily balances, the LC loan portfolio represented 46.2% of total loans. This tops 1Q13’s level, which was situated at 44.1%. The LC portfolio was highly dynamic in 2Q13, which is reflected in the expansion of +5.7% QoQ and +23.4% YoY. This growth was due primarily to Retail Banking’s good performance (+5.7 QoQ, +28.8 YoY), which was led by noteworthy growth in the Mortgage and SME segments with +8.9% QoQ and +6.4% QoQ, respectively. Edyficar, whose portfolio is denominated entirely in LC, posted an increase of +6.5% QoQ and excellent growth of +43.9% YoY. Wholesale Banking also posted growth of +5.4% QoQ and +2.9% YoY this period.

 

The excellent performance of the LC portfolio was, however, overshadowed by the 7.5% devaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the US Dollar in 2Q.

 

The aforementioned, coupled with a -2.8% reduction QoQ in the FC portfolio, led to a -1.4% QoQ decrease in total loans. The contraction of the FC portfolio is primarily due to the fact that corporate clients placed regional and international issuances, whose resources were used to pay off loans for working capital and medium and long term financing. It is important to note that in 2Q13, Credicorp Capital worked with many of these clients, including Alicorp S.A.A. and Consorcio Transmantaro, to ensure their successful incursion in the capital markets.

 

The YoY evolution shows a +15% expansion in the loan portfolio, which was due primarily to excellent growth in LC loans (+23.4%) and FC loans (+10.4%), which significantly offset the impact of the devaluation in the portfolio denominated in Nuevos Soles.

The following figure shows the evolution of quarter-end and average daily balances per month. The debt payments made in Corporate Banking in the months of April and May are evident as it is the recovery posted in the month of June.

 

 

Loan Market Share

 

 

At the end of June BCP consolidated continues to lead the market with a 31.1% share, which outpaces its closest competitor’s share by more than 10 percentage points.

 

At the end of June 2013, the Retail Banking segments that posted the highest gains in market share QoQ were the SME (from 24.0% to 24.6%) and Consumer (from 23.1% to 23.7%) segments. In terms of Wholesale Banking, Corporate Banking posted a decline, going from 48.0% in March to 45.7% in June. This drop was primarily due to the contraction generated by international and regional bonds issuances, which were used to pay off debts with BCP, as explained before. Middle-Market Banking experienced a slight decline in its market share, which fell from 34.7% to 34.1%.

 

Dollarization

 

The share of the LC denominated portfolio fell slightly from 45.0% in 1Q13 to 44.7% in 2Q13. This was due primarily to the effect of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol. Despite this depreciation, the YoY evolution reveals a noteworthy process of de-dollarization, which is evident in the participation of LC loans: 44.7% at the end 2T13 vs. 42.4% at the close of 2Q12, which is in line with the 21.6% YoY growth posted in Retail Banking loans.

II. 2 Liabilities

 

At the end of 2Q13, total liabilities dropped 8.4% QoQ due primarily to: (i) a contraction in Deposits (-7.2% QoQ), which are the main source of funding; this decline was accentuated by the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol given that 55% of deposits are in local currency; and (ii) the reduction in Other Liabilities (-57.4% QoQ), which was primarily due to the sale of Correval to Credicorp in the month of June. The YoY evolution reports growth of +11.6%.

Deposits

 

The decline reported in total deposits (-7.2% QoQ) is primarily due to:

 

i)A drop in non-interest bearing demand deposits (-14.0% QoQ), which was due to the contraction in LC (-17.4% QoQ) and FC (-10.9% QoQ) deposits due to withdrawals by Corporate Banking clients to cover CAPEX payments, payments to suppliers, payment of dividends, among others;

 

ii)A reduction in time deposits (-9.8% QoQ) due to a contraction in FC (-14.9% QoQ) and LC (-6.2% QoQ) deposits, primarily in the Corporate Banking segment. The decrease in FC deposits is associated with the bank’s approach to managing excess liquidity in US Dollars. Nevertheless, the contraction in LC time deposits reflects the impact of the devaluation in the Nuevo Sol given that growth, expressed in LC, was +0.8% QoQ. This had a powerful impact on the evolution of total time deposits because the LC component represents 62% of this deposit type; and

 

iii)A drop in saving deposits (-5.7% QoQ) due to the contraction in the LC component (-4.3% TaT) mainly associated to: the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol, given that 56% of this type of deposit is denominated in this currency; and a seasonal factor given that a peak is recorded in 1Q13 as a result of profit sharing payments.

 

13
 

 

 

The aforementioned contractions were attenuated by expansion in CTS deposits, which grew 9.47% QoQ. This growth reflects a seasonal increase that happens in May of each year.

 

At the end of 2Q13, the loan/deposit ratio was situated at 92.5% (vs. 86.8% in 1Q13). By currency type, this indicator was 75.5% (vs. 70.2% 1Q13) in LC and 111.35% (vs. 107.5% 1Q13) in FC.

Total liabilities   -2.8%   23.2%   48.1%   -7.3%   6.6%   51.9%

 

Other funding sources

 

Other funding sources fell -1.3% QoQ. This was attributable to the -10.5% QoQ decline in due to banks and correspondents, which was associated with the amortization of long term debts for approximately US$155 million and short term debt maturities with foreign banks for approximately US$324 million.

 

Bonds and subordinated debt increased in 2Q13 (+14.2% QoQ), which was attributable to corporate bond issuances in April 2013 for US$716.3 million1 and the reopening of the BCP27 subordinated bond for US$ 170 million.

 

 

Funding Cost

 

Finally, the Bank’s funding cost was situated at 2.22%2 in 2Q13, which is 4 bps higher than that registered in 1Q13 (2.18%). This result was primarily due to the fact that alternative funding sources, meaning bonds and subordinated debt (+14.2% QoQ), increased their share of total funding, while deposits, which are the cheapest source of funding, decreased (-7.2% QoQ) their share of the same.

Market Share of Deposits

 

At the end of May 2013, BCP continued to lead the market for deposits with a 33.6% share of the financial system’s total deposits. Accordingly, the bank continued to lead the pack in terms of the different deposit types, both in local currency and foreign currency. Nevertheless, the market share of time deposits in foreign currency fell 33% in 1Q13 to 25.5% in 2Q13, which was primarily due to the fact that corporate clients made large withdrawals. This is, as previously discussed, in line with the Bank’s strategy to reduce excess liquidity in FC.

Deposit Dollarization

 

Deposit de-dollarization reverted slightly QoQ, which was mainly due to the 7.5% devaluation of the Nuevo Sol. Nevertheless, in YoY terms, the de-dollarization process at the deposit level is more evident and reveals a decline of approximately 380 bps in the share of FC deposits.

 

15
 

 

 

 

Mutual Funds

 

Mutual funds in Credifondo Peru fell -10% QoQ, which is in line with high volatility in the international markets and the negative evolution of the fixed income market in particular (yields on sovereign bonds). This led affiliates to withdraw their balances, which produced a subsequent decline in the volume of FuM.

 

Mutual funds at Credifondo Bolivia also fell 3% QoQ, which is linked to the scenario of low liquidity of financial entities in Bolivia and reflects movements in the country’s stock market. This caused the yields of repo transactions to increase, making them a more attractive investment option than mutual funds. Nevertheless, the system is expected to regularize in the coming months.

II.3 Net Interest Income

 

Adjusted NII in LC, which represents 83.9% of total adjusted NII, expanded +4.7% QoQ and +20.4% YoY, if we exclude the valuation of derivatives impacted by the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol (Other income and Other expenses). This outstanding performance was in line with the excellent dynamic seen the loan portfolio. Nevertheless, the effect of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol; the contraction of -8.7% QoQ in adjusted NII in foreign currency (FC); and the aforementioned valuation of derivatives explain the -1.6% QoQ decline in NII. All the above translated into a NIM of 4.92%, which is only 4bps below the figure reported in 1Q13.

Interest income

 

Adjusted interest income in LC (without the Other interest income line that includes mainly gains on valuation of derivatives) expanded considerably at rates of +5.3% QoQ and +20.6% YoY, where it is noteworthy the evolution of interest on loans (+5.2% QoQ and +22.4% YoY) as a result of the expansion of +5.7% QoQ and +23.4% YoY in the average daily balances of LC loan portfolio. This favorable performance was offset by the devaluation effect.

 

Adjusted interest income denominated in FC fell -5.1% QoQ but grew +11.1% YoY. The quarterly evolution is due primarily to a decline in dividend income on investments (seasonality in 1Q, which is primarily attributable to dividends from BCI Chile), which generated US$ 7.0 million in 1Q13; and lower income in Interest income on deposits in other banks (-27.1% QoQ) due to a decrease in the system’s interbank rates for surplus cash in line with the higher liquidity in the system. The aforementioned offset growth of +1.7% in interest on FC loans that grew despite the -2.8% QoQ contraction in FC loans.

 

When we consider the valuation of derivatives and the effect of the devaluation in the LC component, total interest income expressed in IFRS US Dollars decreases -1.0% QoQ and increases +18.4% YoY.

 

Interest expenses

 

Adjusted interest expenses in LC increased +7.9% QoQ and +21.9% YoY, mainly as a result of a significant growth in interest on bonds and subordinated notes (+29.9% QoQ and +104.5% YoY) due to an increase in BCP’s certificates of deposits, among others. It is important to note that the interest expense on deposits in LC was fairly stable (+0.1% QoQ), even though the drop of -5.7% QoQ of LC saving deposits because this funding source has the lowest funding cost.

 

Adjusted interest expenses in FC decreased -2.2% QoQ and increased +18.2% YoY. The quarterly evolution is explained mainly by the drop in interest on deposits (-33.7% QoQ) as a result of the contraction of FC time deposits (-14.9% QoQ). The lower interest expenses on deposits was significant attenuated by the increase in interest on bonds and subordinated notes in FC (+14.2% QoQ) following bonds issuances in April 2013 (higher-cost liabilities).

 

When we consider the valuation of derivatives (linked to the impact of the US$32.9 million loss on forwards contracts, among others) and the effect of the devaluation in the LC component, total interest expenses expressed in IFRS US Dollars slightly increases +0.3% QoQ and +21.5% YoY.

The contraction in NII led to a slight contraction in the Net Interest Margin (NIM), which was attenuated by a slight decline in the average interest earning assets (-0.5% QoQ). NIM fell from 4.97% in 1Q13 to 4.92% in 2Q13.

 

On the contrary, if we analyze the NIM on loans, we see a 9 bps increase (from 8.10% to 8.19% at the end of 2Q13). The aforementioned is clear evidence that the loan portfolio is performing well given that the increase occurs in a scenario of significant impact generated by the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol on the proportionally higher income produced in LC.

II.4 Past Due Portfolio and Net Provisions on Loan Losses

 

The quarterly evolution shows that PDL ratios remained stable in virtually every segment. It is important to note the drop posted in the PDL ratio for Credit Cards, which indicates that the bank’s adjustments have had a positive impact in the performance of post-adjustment vintages. Nevertheless, the PDL ratio of the SME segment increased up to 7.56%, which explains the majority of the 4.5% QoQ increase in the PDL portfolio. The aforementioned, coupled with a drop in the loan portfolio balance (due primarily to the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol) led to an overall PDL ratio of 2.16% (vs 2.04% in 1Q13).

 

 

3 Until 4Q12, total earning assets included current loans (including refinanced and restructured loans). Since 1Q13, total earning assets include total loans, meaning current loans and past due loans. NIM of loans is calculated as following:

 

 

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 earnings assets for the reporting period.

Coverage of NPLs   130.1%   131.2%   139.1%          

 

Provisions

 

Net provisions expense for loan losses totaled US$ 115.3 million. This represented 28.4% of NII (a level higher than the 23% registered in 1Q13) and 2.2% of total loans (+1.8% above the reported in 1Q13). The coverage ratios for PDL and NPL portfolios were situated at 168.7% and 130.1%, respectively. Both levels are considerably higher than BCP’s internal limits.

 

The 21.8% expansion in net provisions expenses for loan losses is due primarily to an increase in the PDL ratio of the SME segment. The higher expense was also associated with an increase in charge offs for the Q (US$ 72.9 million in 2Q13 vs US$ 59.3 million in 1Q1313) and led to a rise of 2% QoQ in the provisions stock.

 

 

Portfolio Quality

 

The PDL ratio increased 12 bps to situate at 2.16% at the end of the quarter (vs. 2.04% at the end of 1Q13) while the 90-day PDL ratio raised 10 bps (going from 1.35% to 1.45%). The 12-bps increase in the PDL ratio was due to: (i) 9 bps for the expansion of the PDL portfolio, which was in turn due to higher delinquency in the SME segment; and (ii) 3 bps for the contraction in total loans, which in turn reflected the impact of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol that hid the excellent dynamism of LC loans.

 

The PDL ratio in the SME segment increased to 7.56% at the end of 2Q13 (vs. 6.78% at the end of 1Q13). As we explained last quarter this coincides with the 24-month maturity period of pre-adjustment vintages (July 2011 – August 2012).

 

19
 

 

 

The NPL portfolio expanded +2.9% QoQ. This led to a 10 pbs increase in the NPL ratio, which was situated at 2.80% (which tops the 2.69% posted in 1Q13). It is important to note that BCP’s NPL ratio is lower than the average NPL ratio registered by the Peruvian banking system, which was situated at 3.0% at the end of June 2013 (Data SBS).

 

The following figure shows the evolution of the past due portfolio by segment and product:

 

 

When analyzing the evolution of the PDL ratio by banking division and product, it is important to note that:

 

i)The credit card segment has improved QoQ, posting a 14 bps reduction that coincides with expectations given that post-adjustment vintages are performing increasingly well.

 

ii)In the consumer segment, the PDL ratio has stabilized at 2.41% due to adjustments in the bank’s credit policies.

 

iii)The mortgage loan portfolio posted a stable PDL ratio of 1.22% at the end of June 2013.

 

iv)Edyficar’s PDL ratio held at 3.9%. It is important to note that the ratio has remained stable despite the fact that the loan portfolio expanded only +0.4% QoQ due to the impact of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol (the currency in which the bank offers all of its loans).

 

Impact of the devaluation of Credit Risk

 

At the end of 2Q13, the sensitivity analysis of BCP’s credit risk in a scenario of significant devaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the US Dollar shows that the risk is minimal and is very controlled thanks to adequate risk policies for both credit risk assessment and risk monitoring.

 

In a scenario of an additional 15% devaluation, approximately 19.2% of BCP’s total loan portfolio would be exposed to the impact of a devaluation shock. The term “exposed” refers to the fact that the client will be impacted, but the client may or may not be in the position to assume this impact. The portfolio exposed to the impact of devaluation is situated primarily in Wholesale Banking (60%) and Retail Banking (40%).

 

In the case of Wholesale Banking, the financial strength of our clients, coupled with the exchange rate coverage that they might have taken and their ability to generate income in US Dollars, will put the majority in good stead to assume the impact of devaluation.

 

In Retail Banking the majority of exposure comes from the mortgage loan portfolio, which is mainly composed of clients from the A and B socio-economic sectors. These loans have an LTV ratio of 62%. This percentage would be significantly lower if we consider the revaluation posted in financed real-estate over the past 10 years.

 

20
 

 

 

The estimated loss for BCP is situated at approximately US$ 10.5 million, which reflects a relatively low credit risk in the aforementioned scenario. The estimated loss for the Wholesale Banking portfolio is US$6.6 million and for the Retail Banking portfolio is US$ 3.9 million.

 

Additionally, the PDL and NPL ratios reported at the end of 2Q13 would increase 5 pbs, going from 2.16% to 2.21%, and from 2.80% to 2.85%, respectively.

 

II.5 Non-financial income

 

At the end of 2Q13, banking service fees and gains on foreign exchange transactions continued to evolve favorably with growth of +7.4% and +12.1% QoQ, respectively. This was offset by the impact of the net loss on sales of securities (- US$ 27.0 million), which was primarily linked to the performance of sovereign bonds in Latin America.

 

Non financial income (1)  Quarter   Change %   Year to date   Change % 
US$ 000  2Q13   1Q13   2Q12   QoQ   YoY   Jun 13   Jun 12   Jun 13 / Jun 12 
Fee income   163,155    151,912    145,823    7.4%   11.9%   315,067    287,808    9.5%
Net gain on foreign exchange transactions   52,216    46,570    42,660    12.1%   22.4%   98,786    81,990    20.5%

Other income   4,221    11,577    10,863    -63.5%   -61.1%   15,798    14,600    8.2%
Total non financial income   192,604    211,110    206,387    -8.8%   -6.7%   403,714    405,086    -0.3%

(1) See note 3 in BCP and Subsidiaries income statement.

 

Banking service fees, which are considered core income, reported outstanding growth of +7.4% QoQ (+11.9% YoY). This expansion was due to growth in Other Commissions and the recovery of Credit Card fees. In Other Commissions, the increase in fees for commercial loans, associated with medium and long term financing, is particularly noteworthy. It is important to note that the majority of the improvement posted in the Credit Card fees is attributable to penalties for delayed payments. These fees were not applied in January and February given that the SBS published a provision at the end of 2012 that requires financial institutions to give clients 45 days advance notice of the existence of said fees.

 

The excellent evolution of fees was accompanied by net gains on foreign exchange transactions, which grew +12.1% QoQ (+22.4% YoY). This dynamic was due to an increase in activity that was mainly attributable to exchange rate volatility.

 

The aforementioned was offset by the result posted for sales of securities (- US$ 27.0 million), which was primarily due to the loss generated by BCP’s positions in sovereign bonds (Peru, Colombia and Brazil). This was in line with the evolution of sovereign bonds in Latin American countries (an increase in average rates and lower prices) and out of this loss 69% was attributable to the fluctuation in the MtM value (- US$ 19.7 million approximately) and 31% to the loss generated by the sale of a portion of this position (- US$ 8.8 million approximately).

 

Other income fell 63.5% in 2Q13. This was due to the fact that in 1Q13 US$ 4.7 million was reported in extraordinary income after a reversal of excess provisions for employee profit sharing.

Finally, it is important to mention that the performance explained above reflects the negative impact of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol. As such, it is necessary to analyze the evolution of non-financial income according to the currency in which it was generated. If we use this approach, banking service fees (71.9% of which are in local currency) reported growth of +10.6% QoQ for income generated in LC and +9.7% for income produced in US Dollars.

Total non financial income   17.5%   17.8%   73.8%   -0.7%   -8.1%   26.2%

 

Channels of Distribution and Transactions

 

The average number of transactions in 2Q13 was 5.6% higher than the level reported in 1Q13. This coincides with an increase in banking penetration. This growth is due primarily to transactions conducted through cost-efficient channels such as Agentes BCP (+4.9% QoQ), ATMs ViaBCP (+5.8% QoQ) and Internet banking ViaBCP (+8.1% QoQ), which represented 58% of total transactions. It is also important to mention the growth reported in other cost-efficient channels such as Points of Sale P.O.S (+14.9% QoQ) and Telecredito (+8.9% QoQ), which is in line with the bank’s strategy to increase the efficient use of the network of channels.

 

In the YoY analysis, it is important to note that although the average volume of transactions grew 20.0% YoY, cost-efficient channels reported significantly higher growth including +25.6% in Internet Banking, +25.3% in Agentes BCP as well as +19.1% in ATMs.

BCP’s distribution channels continued to expand at a sustained rate. The bank had 8,051 points of access at the end of 2Q13, which is in line with BCP’s strategy to increase banking penetration in the country and represents an increase of +1.5% QoQ and +8.5% YoY. This expansion was led, in absolute terms, by Agentes BCP (+1.4% QoQ and +5.3% YoY) and to a lesser extent by Branches (+0.3% QoQ and 8% YoY). It is important to note that in net terms, only one office was opened in 2Q given that 6 new offices were opened and 5 closed

II.6 Operating Expenses and Efficiency

 

Operating expenses increased +7.0% QoQ due to higher administrative expenses and other expenses. The efficiency ratio was situated at 49.3%, which was slightly higher than the 48.7% reported in 1Q13.

 

Operating expenses (1)  Quarter   Change %   Year to date   Change % 
US$ 000  2Q13   1Q13   2Q12   QoQ   YoY   Jun 13   Jun 12   Jun 13 / Jun 12

Efficiency ratio   49.3%   48.7%   48.4%             49.0%   47.9%     

(1) See note 4 in BCP and Subsidiaries income statement.

 

Operating expenses increased 7% due to an increase in Other expenses (+118% QoQ) and in Administrative and General expenses (+9.9% QoQ). It is important to note that the increase in Other expenses was primarily attributable to: i) a non-recurring loss that was registered in 2Q13 following the sale of Correval to Credicorp Capital, which is neutral in the consolidation of Credicorp subsidiaries’ results; and ii) an expense associated with the valuation of the hedge for the management compensation program (stock options, in line with the decrease in Credicorp’s share price). If we exclude the aforementioned non-recurring loss, which is neutral when consolidated at the level of Credicorp, the operating expenses would increase only +5.0% QoQ.

 

Administrative and general expenses expanded +9.9% QoQ due primarily to increases in the following items: Other minor expenses (+17.9% QoQ) due to an increase in fees paid to third parties, and rent payment; expenses in other subsidiaries (+32.2% QoQ); Consulting (+54.5% QoQ) mainly related to a project for strategic support with Mckinsey; Systems (+19.7% QoQ), which was primarily attributable to the service and maintenance on the Oracle-Data warehouse system; and Marketing (+9.1% QoQ), which was related to the Lan Pass program. The aforementioned was attenuated by a slight 1.5% QoQ decline in salaries and employee benefits (this expense is mainly incurred in Nuevos Soles) and to a lesser extent by a reduction in additional employee profit sharing.

 

23
 

 

 

It is important to note that at the end of June 2013, approximately 67% of all operating expenses were denominated in Nuevos Soles. As such, the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the US Dollar had a relatively positive impact on this item. The expenses denominated in Nuevos Soles increased +3.2% QoQ but when they are expressed in US Dollars the expenses decreased -0.7% QoQ.

 

On the other hand, the expenses denominated in US Dollars grew +24.5% QoQ, which is mainly explained by the non-recurring loss associated with the sale of Correval. In fact, if we exclude the aforementioned non-recurring loss, the expenses denominated in US Dollars increase only +18.4% QoQ.

 

In annual terms, operating expenses increased +21.4% YoY. This was due primarily to growth in administrative and general expenses (+22.7% YoY), which was in turn mainly attributable to an expense for systems outsourcing for US$ 9.5 million (an expense that was not incurred prior to this Q); expenses in other subsidiaries (+57.6% YoY); the Other minor expenses (+12.6% YoY) due to the aforementioned loss generated by Credicorp Capital’ purchase of Correval; and Consulting expenses (+54.5% YoY).

II.7 Net Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital

 

Net shareholders’ equity fell -0.8% QoQ. This was primarily due to a decrease in unrealized gains (-28.8% QoQ), which was attenuated by an increase in accumulated earnings in 2013 (+18.6% QoQ). The significant contraction in 2Q13 net income is reflected in the ROAE of 4.0%, which is significantly lower than 1Q13’s level. Nevertheless, it is important to point out that the ROAE in 2Q13 was negatively impacted by the devaluation effect. If we exclude the following factors from the analysis: the translation loss of US$ 63.4 million; the US$ 32.9 million loss on forwards; and the impact on income tax of US$ 13.5 million, the ROAE would have been 20.3%.

 

Shareholders' equity  Quarter   Change % 
US$ 000  2Q13   1Q13   2Q12   QoQ   YoY 
Capital stock   1,237,652    1,237,632    1,019,491    0.0%   21.4%

Retained earnings   357,467    357,487    274,898    0.0%   30.0%
Income for the year   168,419    141,947    298,354    18.6%   -43.6%
Net shareholders' equity   2,670,880    2,692,647    2,440,708    -0.8%   9.4%
Return on average equity (ROAE)   4.0%   20.8%   21.4%          

 

The evolution of net shareholders’ equity in 2Q13 (-0.8% QoQ) was mainly due to a decrease in unrealized gains. This was associated with a reduction in securities available for sale, which was attributable to the MtM fluctuations posted in the past few months. The YoY analysis shows that net shareholders’ equity increased +9.4%, which was due mainly to a capitalization of earnings from 2012.

 

The capital adequacy ratio (BIS) was situated at 15.06%, which tops the figure reported at the end of 1Q13 (14.65%). This was in line with +2.2% growth in regulatory capital in 2Q13 and was associated with the slight 0.6% decline in risk-weighted assets (RWA) due to a contraction in loan growth.

 

Finally, it is important to note that the TIER 1 and TIER 1 Common remained within established limits, going from 10.30% in 1Q13 to 9.86% in 2Q13 in the case of TIER 1 and from 8.49% in 1Q13 to 8.58% in 2Q13 in the case of TIER 1 Common. Both ratios are above our internal limits, which are situated at 8.5% and 8.0%, respectively.

(1) El ROAE for June 2013 added to 13.1% (Year to date) and 18.9% for June 2012 (Year to date).

 

BCP Bolivia net income in 2Q13 was US$ 4.1 million, which reflects a 13.3% decline QoQ. This drop was due primarily to a decrease in non-financial income (-15.0% QoQ), which was attributable to two factors: i) extraordinary income was posted in 1Q13 due to cost-recoveries from prior periods and ii) a 113.2% increase in net provisions for loan losses QoQ, which was associated with loan growth and an increase in delinquency. These factors were partially offset by the contraction in operating expenses (-11.4%) and a reduction income tax payments (-37.8%) due to a drop in earnings in 2Q13. The translation loss this quarter is due to the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the US Dollar given that BCP Bolivia has investments in Peruvian mutual funds (Credifondo Conservador and Scotia Fondo Premium).

 

In annual terms, BCP Bolivia’s net income fell (-26.1%). This decline was due to the fact that operating expenses grew 28.5% this quarter, which was mainly attributable to a new tax on sales of foreign currency4. The aforementioned was partially offset by growth in net interest income (+8.6%), which was associated with loan expansion (+17.0% QoQ), and a (+13.5% QoQ) increase in non-financial income, which was due primarily to foreign transfers.

 

The past due ratio in 2Q13 was 1.63% (1.43% in 1T13 and 1.42% in 2Q12) with a coverage ratio of 230.3% (260.6% in 1Q13 and 272.3% in 2Q12). Despite an increase in its past due ratio, BCP Bolivia continues to be one of the most stable and reliable entities in the Bolivian banking system, which reported a loss ratio of 1.59% and a coverage ratio of 262.8% at the end of 2Q13. BCP Bolivia’s ROAE in 2Q13 was 11.9%.

 

Assets and Liabilities

 

BCP Bolivia’s loan balance at the end of June 2013 was US$ 948.1 million, which tops the US$ 905.5 million reported at the end of March 2013 by 4.7% and is 17.0% higher than June 2012’s level. Loan growth QoQ is due primarily to expansion in Retail Banking loans (which represent 59.2% of BCP Bolivia’s portfolio), which grew 6.9% QoQ and 27.4% YoY. Within this portfolio, the segments that posted the most significant growth were: i) Personal Loans (+7.2% QoQ and +33.9% YoY); ii) SMEs (+7.1% QoQ and +27.3 YoY); and iii) Home Loans (+6.3%QoQ and +26.3% YoY). During the same period, Whole Banking loans, which represent 38.4% of BCP Bolivia’s total loans, grew +1.1% QoQ and +3.8% YoY.

 

BCP Bolivia’s investment balance at the end of June 2013 totaled US$ 361.6 million, which represents a decline of 10.9% QoQ and 2.7% YoY. The QoQ trend was attributable to the fact that a portion of the bank’s investment in instruments from the Central Bank of Bolivia reached maturity.

 

 

4 For each foreign currency transaction is subject to a 0.70% tax.

In terms of liabilities, BCP Bolivia’s deposits grew 1.8% QoQ, which is mainly attributable to 6.1% growth in time deposits. The YoY analysis reflects an increase of 15.4% due to an increase in term deposits (+46.3%) and savings deposits (+3.7%).

 

Net shareholders’ equity posted increases of 2.1% QoQ and 12.8% YoY. Credicorp’s confidence in Bolivia is reflected in the fact that it has decided to reinvest 2012’s earnings to strengthen the bank’s equity and contribute to loan growth.

 

BCP Bolivia’s market share remains solid and stable with 10.7% share of current loans (third place in the banking system) and an 11.6% stake in total deposits (fifth place in the banking system).

In 2Q13, Edyficar reported a net income of US$5.5 million, 31.7% lower than the figure reported in 1Q13 (-25.5% YoY). It is important to note that the evolution in net income this quarter was impacted by the devaluation of 7.5% of the Nuevo Sol because income statement lines are mostly denominated in LC and a translation loss of US$ 11.4 million was recorded. In local accounting, net income grew 28.2% QoQ and 80.8% YoY.

 

Nevertheless, the business has performed exceptionally well this Q. This is reflected in the positive evolution of the operating income, which posted a significant increase of 50.6% QoQ despite the aforementioned devaluation’s impact. The dynamism reported this Q was due primarily to an increase in net interest income (+14.1%) that was associated with an increase in our portfolio volume and a decline in provisions (-5.2%) due to an increase in charge-offs (+7.8%).

 

The YoY comparison indicates a 109.2% increase in operating income due to growth in interest income (+55.6%), which was due primarily to an increase in our portfolio volume (+37.0%).

 

In terms of portfolio volume and quality, Edyficar’s loan portfolio grew 0.4% QoQ, continuing with its efforts to increase its market share in the sector. It is important to mention that 98.7% of the loan portfolio is denominated in Nuevos Soles and that the total loan portfolio actually grew 7.9% QoQ in local accounting.

 

Meanwhile, the past due portfolio, reported growth of 1.2% QoQ and 30.3% YoY with a past due ratio of 3.95%, which falls below that posted in the second quarter of 2012 (4.16%). In this context, the coverage rate on past due loans was situated at 174.4% at the end of 2Q13.

 

Total assets grew 39.5% YoY due to 37.0% YoY growth in loans and expansion in the investment portfolio. Fixed assets increased 53.7% YoY, which was attributable to growth in the number of branches, which went from 137 to 174.

 

Net shareholders’ equity increased 5.5% in 2Q13 due to growth in accumulated results. In this context, ROAE was only 14.3% if we include goodwill and 21.4% without goodwill in 2Q13.

 

In accumulated terms at the end of June 2013, Edyficar’s net income fell 11.5% due to the aforementioned currency distortion. During this period, financial income demonstrated solid growth (+50.4%) while non-financial income increased 13.4%. Nevertheless, income expansion was offset by a translation loss (-819.0%) due to the 4.2% increase in the exchange rate (Jun12 - Jun13), higher requirements for provisions (+47.3%) and an increase in operating expenses (+36.1%).

 

Despite the negative impact of devaluation, Financiera Edyficar’s results indicate that it continues to contribute to BCP’s objectives in terms of loan growth and earnings generation.

V. Credicorp Capital

 

Net income at Credicorp Capital in 2Q13 totaled US$ 1.4 million, which reflects a loss of US$ 1.3 million at BCP Capital; US$ 0.6 million in profit at Correval; US$ 1 million in earnings at IMTrust; and profit of US$ 109 thousand at CSI for 2Q13. It is important to note that BCP Capital’s results are primarily the result of a currency mismatch in the Balance Sheet and the Nuevo Sol’s 7.5% devaluation against the US Dollar in 2Q13, which generated an accounting loss of US$ 2.7 million in Credicorp Capital’s translation result.

VI. Atlantic Security Bank

 

Atlantic Security Bank (ASB) reported net income of US$ 13.4 million in 2Q13, which represented a decline of -13.4% QoQ. This drop is primarily attributable to lower income from sales of investments and losses on foreign exchange transactions. On the other hand, this quarter’s annualized ROAE reached 30.3%, which falls below the 30.8% reported in 1Q13 but is higher than the 24.3% posted in 2Q12.

 

Core income fell 8.7% QoQ due to a decrease in net interest income (-4.7%) as a result of a decline in the volume of interest earning assets; the loss in foreign exchange transactions (-US$ 900 thousand in 2Q13); and lower gains on sale of securities (- US$ 1.2 million) A YoY comparison shows that core income fell 0.5% due to losses on foreign exchange transactions, which was attenuated by an increase in the financial margin (+5.6%).

 

On a YoY analysis, Net income grew 26.5%, explained by higher gains on sale of securities (fixed and variable income instruments). In accumulated terms at the end of 2Q13, ASB’s contribution to Credicorp totaled US$ 28.9 million (+26.5% YoY), which represents a 30.5% increase with regard to the figure reported for the same period last year. This growth was attributable to growth in earnings on sales of securities (+218.1% QaQ), which was due primarily to realized earnings on sales of fixed income and equity instruments and a net increase in total income of (2.0%).

ASB reported an efficiency ratio of 15.5% in 2Q13, which represented an increase of 350 bps with regard to the previous quarter. In YoY terms, the efficiency ratio posted an improvement of 130 bps.

 

Assets and Liabilities

 

Interest earning assets totaled US$ 1,556 million, as indicated in the table below. The QoQ comparison indicates a decline of 8.6%, primarily in loans (-13.2% QoQ), due to the maturity of short-term loans, and investments (-5.5% QoQ), and a decline in the market value of investments. Total volumes remained stable with regard to 2Q12 and posted only marginal growth. The markets overreacted to the FED’s announcements of a possible reduction in economic stimuli in the US economy, which led the market value of investments to decline and strengthened the US dollar over the last few months. The increase posted in Cash and Banks (16.8% QoQ) is attributable to the net effect of the flow of assets and liabilities transactions during the quarter. It is important to note that ASB has maintained a good risk profile, which is reflected in the fact that our portfolio is delinquency-free.

(*) Excludes investments in equities and mutual funds.

 

With regard to the investment portfolio, it is important to note that a significant portion of ASB’s instruments continue to be investment grade (68%), which reflects the bank’s prudent and sustained policy to concentrate portfolio investment in instruments with a good risk profile

 

 

 

ASB exercises strict control over and follow-up on diversification strategies and the limits set for investment types. This helps maintain a healthy balance in its proprietary portfolio, ensure the quality of its investments and guarantee return levels that contribute to the financial margin which has a subsequently positive impact on shareholders’ returns.

 

Client deposits reflect a decline of 0.9% QoQ and 7.3% YoY. The decline in deposits was attributable to client investment decisions and the market conditions present throughout the quarter. Other liabilities, which are primarily composed of financing obligations, posted a 48.2% QoQ decline; this drop is in line with a reduction in assets. To maintain its asset level, the Bank has taken short-term financing for working capital. This decision explains, to a large extent, the balance posted for other liabilities (+660.7% YoY).

 

Liabilities  Quarter   Change % 
US$ million  2Q13   1Q13   2Q12   QoQ   YoY 
Deposits   1,322    1,334    1,425    -0.9%   -7.3%
Other liabilities   140    271    18    -48.2%   660.7%
Total Liabilities   1,462    1,605    1,444    -8.9%   1.3%

 

Net shareholders’ equity fell 5.7% QoQ. This was due primarily to the decline reported in the market value of investments, which was in turn reflected in the unrealized earnings account (-US$23.8 million) and in the quarter’s net earnings (-13.4% QoQ). All of these results were attributable to adverse market effects, which the Bank has mitigated by implementing strategies throughout the quarter to ensure sustainable returns for shareholders.

 

The BIS ratio at the end of 2Q13 was situated at 16.26%, which tops the 12.30% reported in 1Q13. This was due to a decline in risk-weighted assets (drop in loans and investments) and an increase in the regulatory equity due to higher earnings this quarter. It is important to note that the Bank’s minimum requirement remains at 12%.

Funds under Management

 

Funds under management, which includes client deposits, investments in funds and financial instruments under custody, totaled US$5,027 million (market value) at the end of 2Q13. This represents a 9.7% decline with regard to 1Q13 but indicates a 1.4% increase YoY. The QoQ result was attributable to adverse market effects given that the investment stock posted net growth of+1.7% QoQ and +13.6% YoY, which indicates that our clients trust our asset management services.

Pacifico Grupo Asegurador reported net income before minority interest of US$ 5.5 million in 2Q13, which represents a 52.5% decline with regard to the US$ 11.5 million obtained last Q and a 77.5% decline from the US$ 24.2 million in 2Q12. This decline is mainly attributable to a translation loss of US$ 6.4 million due to a 7.5% devaluation in the Nuevo Sol against the US Dollar in the 2Q, which increases the total devaluation of the currency to 9% for the first half of the year. The drop in net income was also attributable to an increase in net claims (+5.2% QoQ) in the Health and Life businesses. It should be noted that the impact of the devaluation is accentuated because 48% of net premiums earned are denominated in Nuevo Soles.

 

In fact, in 2Q13 the underwriting result fell 13.6% QoQ due to an increase in claims in Health (US$ 4.4 million) and Life (+US$ 2.6 million). In the case of Health, higher claims were associated with an increase in the frequency of health service use due to seasonal factors. At Pacifico Vida, this Q’s higher loss ratio was due to an increase in reserves for obligatory insurance (AFP), which was recorded in claims given that during this second quarter, there were more cases of disability, less denials of claims, and less releases of reserves associated with aging clients. Furthermore, the increase in claims is reflected in the loss ratio which increased from 62% in 2Q12, to 65.9% in 1Q13 and 67.8% for this 2Q13.

 

Financial income totaled US$ 32.5 million in 2Q13. This represents a 10.4% increase QoQ, which is in line with growth in financial income in the Life Insurance business. The aforementioned is attributable to higher interest on investments due to an increase in the size of the fixed income portfolio, which was in turn attributable to growth in the business lines (primarily Annuity Income). Additionally, the new flow was invested at rates that were 50 bps and 60 bps higher on average.

 

General expenses rose 3.1% QoQ. This was due primarily to an increase in expenses at the subsidiary level due to the launching of SANNA, the Group’s private healthcare network, and higher financial and administrative costs related to: (i) the expansion plan and infrastructure improvements as well as (ii) the plan to invest in medical equipment. A YoY analysis also reveals an increase in general expenses, which is attributable to investment to develop alternative distribution channels and the push to expand the Property and Casualty Business in the provinces.

 

In this context, the impact of the 9% accumulated devaluation through translation losses and the increase in claims from 62% to 68% of income squeezed Pacifico’s contribution to Credicorp dropped to the reported US$ 5.5 million (-51.5% QoQ) and (-76.9% YoY) .

Pacifico Property and Casualty (PPS)

 

PPS reported loss of - US$ 6.7 million in 2Q13, which represents a 40.3% decline QoQ figure due to the negative effect of the translation result (- US$ 2.8 million QoQ) and the decline in net financial income (-US$1.4 million QoQ). The aforementioned offset the increase in the underwriting result (+ US$ 1.5 million QoQ), which was attributable to a 2.1% increase in net premium turnover in the car line and a move to reduce general expenses (-US$1.2 million QoQ).

 

The YoY underwriting result fell 33.5% due to an increase in the loss ratio (+39.6%), which was in turn attributable to a deterioration in the loss ratio posted by the car line.

i)The Car Insurance line posted an underwriting result of US$ 2.9 million in 2Q13, which tops the US$ 0.9 million reported in 1Q13. Growth was attributable to an increase in net premium turnover (+6.5% QoQ) and a decline in claim. A YoY analysis indicates that the underwriting result fell due to an increase in the loss ratio, which was in turn attributable to two factors: (i) higher costs per insured vehicle (increase in costs for repairs, parts and manual labor at garages) and, (ii) the fact that premiums have fallen in a highly competitive market. To reverse this situation, the company is readjusting rates and implementing a scoring process to improve underwriting processes to select better risks and subsequently improve portfolio quality.

 

ii)The Private Health line posted an underwriting result of US$ 5.1 million in 2Q12. This represents a 22.6% decline that was attributable to a rise in claims occurrences which was associated with an increase in the frequency of health service use due to seasonal factors. The aforementioned was offset by an increase in net earned premiums (+1.4% QoQ) given that the company captured more clients through low-premium and group products (+7% increase in the portfolio for these products, which represents the incorporation of an additional 17 thousand insured individuals compared to 1Q13’s figure). YoY, the result rose 29.1% due to an increase in the net earned premium (+20.1%).

 

iii)The Property and Casualty business (P & C) reported an underwriting result of US$ 4.5 million in 2Q13, which represents a 27.7% increase with regard to 1Q13’s figure. This result was due to: a decrease in net commissions and a drop in net claims. The YoY underwriting result fell 43.1% due to a decrease in net earned premiums that was associated with an increase in ceded premiums due to quota contracts in the Fire, Technical Lines and Household segments (this approach is part of the company’s reinsurance strategy). This type of contract reduces exposure to severe claims by transferring 35% of the portfolio risk associated with the Fire and Technical Lines segment to the reinsurance market to improve the company’s underwriting policy.

With these results, PPS obtained a combined ratio of 112.3% in 2Q13. This can be disaggregated into 62.9 points for costs or expenses for net claims (loss ratio), 20.0 points for business acquisition costs, and 29.3 points for general or administrative expenses.

 

Pacifico Vida (PV)

 

Pacifico Vida reported net earnings of US$ 13.8 million in 2Q13, which represents a 7.4% decline with regard to the US$ 14.9 million QoQ. This drop was primarily attributable to the translation result (-US$ 4.3 million QoQ) and a decline in the underwriting result. In YoY terms, net earnings fell 15% due to higher claims and an increase in the translation loss.

 

The decrease posted in this quarter’s underwriting result was due to an increase in claims, primarily in the Obligatory Insurance (AFP) and Group Life segment, higher Commissions (Credit Life), and a retroactive reclassification of translation results to reserves due to a translation loss on Investment Link products for Individual Life (US$ 1.7 million 2Q13), which affected net premiums but had no impact on the company’s net earnings.

 

Despite the aforementioned reclassification, net premiums in 2Q13 increased 4.0% QoQ in 2Q13. Growth was particularly noteworthy in Annuity Income and Credit Life, with the exception of Group Life (given the mid-year and annual renewals that were registered in the first quarter of the year). A YoY analysis reveals an increase of 19.1%, which was due primarily to growth in the Credit Life and Obligatory Insurance Lines (AFP).

 

Net claims increased 10.4% QoQ due to the fact that Obligatory Insurance posted more cases of disability, less denials of claims and less releases of reserves associated with aging clients. Additionally, more catastrophic events were reported in Group Life in 2Q13 for a total of US$ 0.5 million (Pesquera Exalmar and Odebretch). In contrast, the Individual and Accident lines posted a decrease in their loss ratios QoQ. A YoY analysis indicates that claims have risen 27%.

 

Financial Income grew 21% QoQ and 29% YoY. This was due primarily to an increase in interest income on investments, which is in line with business growth (mainly in Annuity Income). Interest also grew due to two factors: i) the new flow was invested in instruments that offer higher rates, and ii) higher earnings on sales of fixed income securities associated with global bond sales.

Pacifico Health (EPS)

 

In 2Q13, Pacifico Salud reported net earnings of US$ 1.2 million, which falls below the US$ 2.3 million reported in 1Q13 due a decline in the underwriting result; nevertheless, this result was favorable compared to the loss reported in 2Q12 (-US$ 0.3 million).

 

The underwriting result was affected by a higher loss ratio this quarter, which was in turn due to an increase in the frequency of health service use due to seasonal factors. The loss ratio increased to 84% in 2Q13 versus 79% in 1Q13 and 81% in 2Q12.

 

36
 

 

 

The drop in the underwriting result was partially mitigated by: i) the translation effect, which in EPS’s case was positive at US$ 1.2 million in 2Q13 versus US$ 0.3 million in 1Q13 and ii) a decrease in general expenses for different items.

 

The underwriting result for the Medical Services Business was -US$2.2 million, which represents a decline with regard to 1Q13 (-US$ 0.9 million) and 2Q12’s figure (US$ 1.4 million).

 

If we combine the results of both businesses, in 2Q13 Pacifico Salud’s total loss was -US$ 1.0 million. This falls below the result posted in 1Q13 (US$ 1.3 million) and 2Q12’s figure (US$ 1.2 million).

 

Medical Subsidiaries

 

In 2Q13, the medical subsidiaries reported net loss of - US$ 1.84 million, which falls below the - US$ 0.74 registered in 1Q13. This was primarily due to the fact i) recognition of expenses associated with the launch of the Group’s private healthcare network: SANNA ii) and an increase in financial and administrative costs associated with the expansion plan, infrastructure improvements, and the plan to invest in medical equipment.

 

This result was attenuated by an increase in the underwriting result, which totaled US$ 10.2 million. This represented an increase of US$ 1.56 million QoQ (+18%) and an increase of US$ 2.5 million YoY (+33%). This growth was attributable to higher sales at the network’s clinics (more services provided per business line) and an increase in the complexity of the services utilized, which pushes up average billing amounts.

In 2Q13, Prima AFP’s net income was US$ 14.4 million, which tops the figure QoQ (US$11.6 million) by 23.7%. It is important to note that the increase in net income this quarter includes the impact of the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol, which is reflected in the income statement lines and the balance sheet (generated primarily in Nuevos Soles). In this scenario, the income tax burden fell (under local accounting standards) while the translation result reflected earnings of US$ 1.3 million.

 

It is important to emphasize that income from commissions this quarter was affected by the following factors: (i) an increase of 6.1% was recorded in income in Nuevos Soles with regard to 1Q13 (local accounting); this same growth, calculated in US Dollars, was equivalent to 3.1% due to local currency devaluation; and (ii) the application IAS18, which led to deferred income for US$ 1.4 million. In IFRS, these effects translated into a 1.0% drop in fee income.

 

At the end of 2Q13, administrative and sales expenses remained stable (-0.7% QaQ) with regard to the previous quarter; nevertheless an increase was reported in expenses for third party services that were associated with the process to select a commission scheme (one-time expenses); these expenses were in turn offset by a decrease in charges for administrative personnel.

Commercial Results

 

In the second quarter of 2013, Prima AFP reported an affiliation volume of 60, 788 in the months of April and May. In June 2013, the AFP that won the affiliate assignment process conducted in December 2012 assumed the exclusive right to sign up new affiliates for the period running from June 2013 to May 2015. At the end of 2Q13, the system had 65,141 affiliates.

 

At the end of June 2013, Prima AFP’s funds under management totaled US$ 10,694 million, which represents 31.1% of the total amount managed by the System. Accordingly, Prima AFP in ranks first in the system in terms of market share.

 

Prima AFP’s collections of new contributions during the 2Q13 totaled US$ 245 million, which represents 35.2% of the system’s figure for this indicator. This level of collections indicates growth of 2.4% with regard to 1Q13 and 7.7% QaQ if we analyze collections of new contributions in Nuevos Soles (100% of collections are in local currency).

 

38
 

 

 

The RAM level (monthly insurable remuneration) in 2Q13 declined slightly QoQ. This drop was due solely to the exchange rate effect. Prima AFP consolidated its leadership with a market share of 34.1% in terms of RAM, which is the income base used by AFPs.

 

These results confirm Prima AFP’s leadership in the market and reflect its consolidation in terms of RAM, contributions volume, and value of its funds under management.

 

Investments

 

In the 2Q13, volatility once again reared its head on the international scene due to economic deceleration in China and its negative effects on commodities prices; this scenario also affected the majority of emerging economies (including those in Latin America). Additionally, the expectation of a decline in the Federal Reserve’s monetary stimuli and its possible effects on financial markets generated uncertainty worldwide.

 

With regard to the local outlook, the Peruvian economy experienced a slight deceleration with regard to the estimates posted at the beginning of the year. In a context of higher global risk, Prima AFP has maintained firm in its commitment to invest only in companies with solid fundamentals.

 

In terms of the profitability of Prima’s funds under management, in the last 12 months (June 2013 / June 2012) the results were 5.9%, 3.0% and 0.7% for funds 1, 2 and 3 respectively. These results situate Prima AFP in fourth place in the system’s three funds in terms of profitability. This is attributable, at least in part, to the market correction for global bonds due to speculation that the Federal Reserve may withdraw its stimulus program. Another important component that explains this result is linked to the local market, where the Stock Exchange General Index drew back 24.6% during the first 6 months of the year. This result situates the Lima Stock Exchange among the world’s poorer performers. Add to this the fact that the Nuevo Sol depreciated 7.4% in the last quarter alone, and it makes for a difficult mix.

 

If we look at the 7-year horizon (June 2013/June 2006), Prima AFP’s fund 2, which represents 65.9% of its total funds under management, achieved nominal annualized profitability of 10.3% while the private pension system’s average was 9.9%. It is important to note that during this period, Prima’s fund 2 ranked first in the system.

 

During the period covering the creation of the SPP to date (June 2013/December 19935), the annualized profitability of the funds managed by the AFPs was 12.3% in nominal terms and 7.5% in real terms.

Financial Results

 

Income

 

Prima AFP’s income from commissions in the 2Q13 totaled US$ 33.3 million, which represents a decline of (-1.0% QoQ) but tops the YoY figure by 7.9%. The QoQ evolution is due primarily to income (generated in Nuevos Soles) was affected by local currency devaluation and the fact that the company applied IAS 18, which generated US$ 1.4 million in deferred income. These effects are reflected in the increase in income (in local accounting) which rose 6.1% QoQ and 11.3% YoY.

When analyzing the company’s income, it is important to keep the current commission schemes in mind:

 

i)Commission based on flow: 1.60% applied to the affiliates’ monthly remuneration.

 

ii)Mixed commission: composed of a 1.51% commission based on flow that is applied to the affiliates’ monthly remuneration plus a 1.90% annual commission on the new balance (generated from February 2013 and on). This commission was in place in February-May 2013 for all new affiliates; in May of this year, the company decided to reduce the commission from 1.90% to 1.25 %for the affiliates who chose this scheme, which went into effect in June 2013.

 

Expenses

 

Administrative and sales expenses totaled US$ 14.0 million for the 2Q13, which represented a 0.7% decline with regard to last quarter. This was due primarily to a decrease in charges for administrative personnel and marketing expenses incurred during the process to reform the SPP. A YoY analysis shows an increase of 20.0% that was mainly attributable to expenses incurred to bolster the sales force and pay for third party services in the affiliate assignment process and other expenses linked to the SPP reform.

 

This Q, depreciation and amortization expenses totaled US$ 1.8 million including charges for the amortization of intangible assets (obtained in the merger with Union Vida) as well as the depreciation and amortization of real estate, equipment and systems.

 

Operating income in 2Q13 totaled US$ 17.5 million, which was slightly lower than the figure registered last quarter (US$ 17.8 million). Based on this result, and after deducting other income and expenses as well as income tax provisions, net income was US$ 14.4 million in 2Q. A QoQ comparison indicates that income was up 23.7% whereas the YoY increase was equivalent to 25.6%.

 

In 2Q13, the return of average equity (ROAE) was situated at 38.8%, which represents a considerable increase with regard to last quarter’s figure (+29.6% QoQ)6. In accumulated terms at the end of June 2013, this indicator reached 33.5%.

 

At the end of June 2013, Prima AFP reported an asset level of US$ 264.4 million, which is composed of US$ 151.6 million in shareholders’ equity and US$ 112.8 million in liabilities.

 

Under IFRS accounting standards, the company registered a positive foreign currency translation result due to an increase in monetary liabilities in Nuevos Soles, which were associated with recurring personnel expenses and contribution obligations that have yet to be classified.

 

It is important to note that Prima AFP only generates income in the local currency; as such, the exchange rate risk inherent to the business is null, meaning that risk is limited primarily to the company’s variable rate debt obligations in Dollars (US$ 26 million).

 

Changes Related to the Private Pension System Reform

 

In the 2Q13, the affiliate assignment period that had been awarded to Prima AFP concluded. During the period beginning in October 2012 and ending in May 2013 (date after which the AFP that won the tender held in December 2012 began operating) Prima AFP increased its client base by more than 200 thousand affiliates.

 

On this same date (May 31, 2013), the process that required affiliates to choose a commission scheme concluded. In the final count, 80% of active affiliates decided to remain in commission scheme based on flow while 20% opted for the mixed commission.

 

The company believes that this new structure of collection of commission will not impact business results.

IX. Economic Outlook

 

Economic Activity

 

The Peruvian economy grew 5.0% in the month of May after having grown 5.8% on average during the first four months of the year. This result was attributable to the fact that exports were weaker-than-expected. If we remove the calendar effect registered in February-April, economic growth stabilized at rates just above 5.5%, which is similar to May’s result. Growth during this period recomposed and mining as well as other non-primary sectors such as construction, commerce and services were the top performers. These sectors helped offset the weak performance of the manufacturing sector due to a decrease in the demand for our products.

 

With regard to expenditure, growth in 2Q13 was once again led by private expenditure, both in terms of investment (7.4%) and household consumption (5.5%) in a context of growth in income and in the expectations of economic agents which, although having moderated, are still in the optimistic range. Public expenditure continued to grow but at a slower rate (12.6% versus 16.8% in 4Q12), and in terms of its components, public investment maintained its upward trend reported in previous quarters.

 

It is important to note that in the period of analysis (between April and June 2013) that although growth in business expectations moderated somewhat, it continued to be in line with growth in private investment. As such, after having suffered a decline (influenced by greater uncertainty on the external and local scene), expectations settled in the optimistic range in line with the business sector optimism

 

Given that the calendar effect has dissipated and the external outlook has posted gradual improvement, we expect growth in 2Q13 to recover with regard to 1Q13. This is in line with our expectation that growth will follow an upward trend during the rest of this year, which will lead average growth to situate around 6% (approximately) for 2013. Growth will be hinge on a recovery in export volumes as well as consumer and business expectations over the next few months.

 

Gross Domestic Product and Internal Demand

(Annualized percentage variation)

 

 

External Sector

 

During the first five months of 2013, the trade balance accumulated a deficit of US$ 921 million. This falls below the result observed for the same period in 2012 by US$ 3,345. Exports totaled US$ 16,593 million, which represents a decline of 11.6% YoY. This decline was due primarily to a 13.9% increase in sales of traditional products, which is due primarily to lower prices for our mineral exports and a decrease in production of the same. Non-traditional exports fell 3.4% due to a decline in the demand for textile products in the USA and Venezuela as well as a reduced supply of fishing products.

 

41
 

 

 

Imports totaled US$ 17,514 million, which represented growth of 7.2% with regard to January-May 2012. The import volume increased 9.1% due to more purchases of durable consumer goods, inputs and capital goods. The average price of imports contracted 1.7%. As such the accumulated trade balance in twelve months totaled US$ 1,167 million, which is the lowest level recorded since Feb-04.

 

The accumulation of INR has moderated due to episodes of volatility, which prompted the BCR to sell dollars in the market during the first few days of July 2013. In this context, as of July 7th, international reserves were situated at US$ 66,799 million, which tops the US$ 2,807 million reported at the end of 2012 but falls below the US$ 1,119 million registered at the end of 1Q13. This increase in year-end INR was primarily attributable to an increase in net purchases of foreign currency in the Trading Room for US$ 4,990 million and an increase in deposits in the financial system for a total of US$ 609 million. This situation was partially attenuated by a US$ 276 MM decline in investment valuations.

Prices and the Exchange Rate

 

Annual inflation in June 2013 was situated at 2.77%, which indicates a recovery that brings the level to the upper range of BCRP’s target. Although prices reversed their upward trajectory (March 2013: 2.31% YoY) at the beginning of 2Q13, factors such as the increase in food prices and a recent depreciation in the exchange rate affected price dynamics. The latter was reflected in the rebound registered in the prices of tradable goods in June 2013. Accordingly, inflation thus far in 2013 has remained in BCR’s target range (2% +/- 1pp) and the monetary authority expects inflation to converge at 2%, which is slightly below our forecast (2.4%) in a context in which inflationary pressures on the supply side remain moderate.

 

Based on the aforementioned context, BCR is expected to maintain its reference rate in 2013 (4.25% at the end of June 2013). Inflation is within the target range despite a short-term upswing and the fact that economic growth is close to its potential. Nevertheless, given that uncertainty abroad continues to affect the terms of exchange and growth in developed and emerging economies, the BCR has announced that it will be watching these indicators to intervene if necessary. The monetary authority also added that, if necessary, it will take additional measures to make the legal reserves regimens more flexible, as it recently did in the case of reserve requirements for Nuevos Soles (although the change was marginal).

 

The depreciatory trend continued in 2Q13. This was due primarily to the market’s reaction to lower levels of liquidity in dollars given expectations that the Federal Reserve will eventually withdraw monetary stimuli (QE3). This scenario, coupled with weak economic in Peru and the rest of Latin America, generated a significant outflow of short-term investments, which intensified the depreciation of the PEN and other currencies in Latam. In this context, the exchange rate closed 2Q13 at S/. 2.78, which reflects 9.1% depreciation thus far this year. The Nuevo Sol’s trend has stabilized but more depreciation may be seen if the economy weakens further or the market anticipates that liquidity in dollars will drop further. Despite the fact that the BCR purchased US$ 840 million in the exchange market in 2Q13, it did not incur in the spot market in the months of May and June. Nevertheless, the BCR has sought to moderate the pace of depreciation by issuing Indexed Certificates of Deposit, which generate a dynamic similar to selling dollars in the spot market. By the end of 2Q13, the accumulated value of these instruments was S/. 2,158 million. Additionally, the BCR raised the limit on the reserve rate in Nuevos Soles, which indicates a change of its contractionary monetary policy observed in 1Q13. Given this new juncture, our estimate for year-end puts the dollar at S/.2.76 - S/.2.78.

Fiscal Sector

 

At the end of May 2013, the non-financial public sector registered an economic surplus of S/. 11,259 million, which falls below the S/. 4,737 million observed during the same period in 2012.

 

The general government’s current accumulated income at the end of May 2013 totaled S/. 51,645 million, which represented a real increase of 1.8% with regard to January-May 2012 and reflected more moderate growth in collections. This result was attributable to slight 0.2% growth in tax revenues and a 6.9% increase in non-tax revenues. The behavior of tax revenues primarily reflects the evolution of income tax, which fell 8.1% during the first five months of the year due to lower collections from companies (-2.2%) and regularization (-36.9%), which could not be offset by the increase in collections from individuals (6.6%). The contraction of the first two points is due to the fact that revenues from the mining sector have decreased along with production. In terms of third category income tax, the mining sector reduced its payments by 50.8% in the first five months of the year compared to the same period in 2012. Nevertheless, the majority of the economy’s sectors reported growth, which was particularly noteworthy in services (11.5%), commerce (24.8%) and construction (17.5%) and reflects dynamism in the local economy. Accordingly, internal revenues continued to expand, which noteworthy growth of 4.5% in the IGV thus far this year.

 

In January-May, the general government’s non-financial expenditures (S/. 36,831 million) reported real growth of 13.0% due to higher expenditure at all three government levels (12.4% at the national government level, 16.0% at regional governments and 12.0% at local governments). Current expenditure grew10.7% in the first five months of the year, which was mainly due to higher expenditure for remunerations at the national government level (20.1%) and more expenditure on goods and services at regional governments (19.3%). The increase in remunerations was attributable to the new income structure for the Armed Forces and the National Police of Peru, which was approved in December 2012, and salary increases in the Education sector. At all three government levels, expenditure on gross capital formation increased (20.9% for the national government, 27.9% for regional governments and 17.1% for local governments).

Given that revenues have moderated and non-financial expenditure is expected to increase this year due to higher remunerations and more expenditure on gross capital formation, we expect the fiscal surplus to be around 0.4% of GDP in 2013, which falls below last year’s figure.

Financial Sector

 

At the end of May, the loans granted by financial institutions that are authorized to capture deposits expanded at an annual rate of 13.3%, which falls slightly below April’s rate (13.8%). This result was attributable to a moderation in business loans (11.5%) and personal loans, such as mortgage loans (23.5%) and consumer loans (12.1%). Additionally, the dollarization coefficient of total loans was 43.1%, which is virtually the same level registered since the end of 2012 (43.0%). By loan type, the level of loan dollarization in business loans was situated at 53.9% (53.8% in December 2012). During the same period, the dollarization level fell to 43.6% (44.8% in December 2012) for mortgage loans while the level for consumer loans increased to 10.4%.

 

On the other hand, as part of the measures to strengthen the financial system and promote healthier growth in credit, the BCR published series of changes related to the reserve requirement for deposits in local currency. The base of reserve requirements was modified and a decision was made to establish a 20% ceiling on the median reserve requirement in local currency to favor liquidity in this currency as anticipation to the LC loan growth for the next months, in a context of economic recovery.
