Profile | |||||
Bradesco is one of the largest financial conglomerates in Latin America, controlled by an entity managed by the banks senior executives. |
www.fitchratings.com | 7 June 2010 |
Profile | ||
Conservative corporate culture. | Bradesco was founded in 1943 as a retail bank for low-income customers. Its several acquisitions ensured national coverage and consolidated its presence among Brazils largest banks. Its widespread branch network (more than 71,000 points of sale, including 11,198 proprietary ones) plays an important role in attracting a broad range of customers and depositors and in providing the distribution of a diversified range of products. In December 2009, Bradesco held 20.9 million current accounts (20.1 million in 2008) and 37.7 million savings accounts (35.8 million in 2008). About 20% of the countrys pensioners receive their social security payments at Bradesco, which provides a large client base for products to be exploited, such as payroll deductible loans. | |
Large branch network, ensuring low-cost funding and strong diversification of clients. | ||
Bradesco is among the leaders in various financial segments. The groups insurance and private pension activities (through Bradesco Seguros) are an important part of the business and consistently contribute more than 30% of earnings (34% of the income in 2009). In November 2009, Bradesco had a market share of 23.7% of insurance premiums, private pension funds, and capitalization, as well as 36.2% of private pension investment portfolios. For additional information on Bradesco Seguros (international insurer financial strength rating BBB+/Outlook Stable) please refer to the companys report, at www.fitchratings.com.br. | ||
The bank is the third largest investment fund manager in Brazil, with a market share of 16.6% and assets under management of BRL248bn in December 2009 (BRL187bn in 2008). It also has 12.6% of the total credit in Brazil and 19.7% of the credit card market in terms of invoiced revenue, with 79.6 million cards issued (35.2 million in 2008). About 25% of the countrys foreign exchange (FX) contracts for exports and 18% of FX contracts for imports were closed at Bradesco. The group has been a leader in the development and implementation of data processing and electronic and Internet banking services in Brazil. However, its overseas activities are not relevant, as it has international business facilities in eight countries. | ||
Corporate Governance | ||
Bradescos corporate governance practices are aligned with international standards, though it has only one independent member on its board of directors. Given its listing on the NYSE (where it began trading Level I ADRs in 1997 and has traded Level II ADRs since 2001), it must follow SEC guidelines. Bradesco is also recognized as a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve Bank in the U.S. and has been listed on Madrids Latibex since 2001. The board of directors comprises nine members, one of which is the current CEO; five others are former bank executives, including the chairman of the board, who was Bradescos CEO from 1981 to 1999. There is also a minority shareholders representative and two members of the founding family. The current CEO was appointed in March 2009 and came from inside the group. No relevant changes to bank policies and operations were made at that time. | ||
The group is controlled by Fundação Bradesco (FB) through the Holding Cidade de Deus (HCD), which holds 48.38% of the banks voting capital. FB holds 17.04% of direct participation in Bradesco, and the holding NCF, which is also controlled by the FB, holds 2.40%. The founding family owns 21.89% of HCD. Around 10% of Bradescos voting capital is held by foreign banks. Banco Espírito Santo of Portugal holds 7.96%, and UFJ Bank of Japan holds 2.49%. The balance (21.73% of voting shares and 59.62% of total shares) is traded on various stock exchanges. | ||
Strategy | ||
Bradescos strategy is to maintain its strong position in the Brazilian financial system, working with a diversified franchise based on financial and insurance services. Despite the focus on organic growth and on the Brazilian domestic market, | ||
Banco Bradesco S.A. | 2 |
June 2010 |
Bradesco has acquired some small-cap niche financial institutions both locally and abroad. In October 2009, Bradesco acquired Banco IBI S.A. (IBI), the fifth largest Brazilian issuer of credit cards, and the groups financial companies, substantially increasing the number of Bradesco cards in 2009. It has also entered into a partnership with C&A Modas Ltda. (C&A), an important clothing and accessories retail network, which IBI was a part of. Also, in January 2010, the bank signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire IBIs financial unit in Mexico. However, even considering this potential acquisition, the international activities will not be representative. | ||
Like its peers, Bradesco seeks to increase its business by emphasizing expansion in the retail segment and in small- and medium-sized companies (SMEs) that offer higher margins. The acquisitions of IBI in 2009 and Banco BMC S.A. (one of the largest lenders of payroll deductible loans in Brazil) in 2007 are in line with this strategy. Despite these segments presenting higher risk, in general, the mix of these credits has migrated to safer products (payroll deductible loans, vehicle financing, and guarantee of receivables/contracts in companies). | ||
In the credit card segment, despite being a product without guarantees, the bank has a long customer history, which enables it to adjust limits/margins in accordance with behavior/credit risk. In an attempt to continue to build these operations, Bradesco signed a memorandum of understanding with Banco do Brasil S.A. (BB) in April 2010, which contemplates the integration of part of its credit card operations and the launching of a new credit card label. If the transaction is concluded, these businesses shall be centralized in a new holding in which management and control will be shared between Bradesco (50.01%) and BB (49.99%). | ||
The group has also increased its number of banking correspondents (20,200 in December 2009 and 16,061 in 2008) in order to get prepared for Banco Postal renegotiations in 2011, its partnership with the Post Office system. With the expansion of its network of branches and banking correspondents, the bank is present in all cities within the national territory. In addition, it has been signing different operating agreements with medium- and large-sized retailers since 2004, which ensure exclusivity in financings to their clients, and is aimed at expanding the activities of the group in consumer credit. Also, in 2007, the bank further segmented its middle market efforts, creating separate units (or departments) to manage business with small- and medium-sized companies (SMEs). More recently, the bank also turned its focus to the real estate credit, a business where it has operated for years, albeit on a small scale. In 2006, Banco Bradesco BBI-Banco de Investimentos was created to increase the development of activities in the local capital market, aiming at exploiting its already strong (although lower than its main peers) presence in this segment. | ||
Outlook | ||
After reaching ambitious goals in recent years, Bradesco, like its private sector competitors, projected more conservative goals for 2009 as a result of the stagnant economic environment. Total credit growth in 2009 (6.1%; 32.1% in 2008) ended up below its reviewed goal of 8%12% due to a decline in large companies (6.2%), where the strength of the BRL relative to the USD understated growth in this portfolio. Also affecting growth was modest shrinkage in its auto portfolio due to higher past dues and restructuring, which led the bank to slow origination and reduce the number of dealers generating new volume. However, the bank showed higher growth in other target segments, such as payroll deductible loans (38.2%), cards (37.2%), and real estate financing (35.4%). | ||
Banco Bradesco S.A. | 3 |
June 2010 |
2010 goals are significantly higher (credit operations increase between 21% and 25%), which is feasible given the local projected economic growth (GDP above 5%, against 0.2% in 2009); loan growth in 1Q10 was 4% higher than the previous quarter. The bank projects higher growth in companies, mainly SMEs, and for individuals in some segments, such as payroll deductible loans and real estate credit where the demand has been strong. This increase, together with reduced delinquency, should maintain profitability around 20% in 2010, as shown at 1Q10 results, despite higher funding costs resulting from increased competition and, consequently, pressure on spreads. | ||
Competition has been particularly strong and aggressive from public sector banks after the global financial crisis, although competition from local and international private banks should also become stronger in 2010. | ||
The current single-digit interest rates prevailing in the country, combined with resurgent credit demand as the economy recovers strongly, should translate into pressure on margins over the medium and long terms, to be offset by economies of scale and credit and administrative cost contention. Bradescos strong and diversified franchise, together with its large scale and high, constant investments to improve its technological platform should leave the bank well positioned to ensure adequate returns. Fitch expects that the bank will continue to present sustainable returns, which, although stabilized below the high levels seen before the global crisis (from 2005 to 2007), can favorably compare with those of regional and global financial industries. | ||
Performance | ||
Robust historical performance stimulated by strong credit expansion since 2004 and improved efficiency. | The banking industry faced many challenges during 4Q08 and 2009 given the global financial crisis. Brazils GDP declined 1.5% during 1H09 and 0.2% in 2009. Nevertheless, the Brazilian government acted proactively in stimulating the availability of credit and consumption. By adopting an expansionist economic policy, the Central Bank (Bacen) has gradually reduced the basic interest rate (Selic) from 13.75% in December 2008 to 8.75% in July 2009, raising it to 9.5% in April 2010 to restrain inflationary pressures. | |
Despite the decline foreseen in 2010, loan loss provision volumes should still be relevant, although offset by high financial margins. | Although 2H09 has been less troublesome, with positive trends in the local and international economic scenario, the Brazilian financial system showed a decline in its profitability during the year. Lower credit growth has affected revenue generation, and loan loss provisions have strongly increased, consuming reasonable revenue participation. Nevertheless, financial system profitability remains good with high financial margins and ratios, which compare well with the regional and global banking industry. | |
In 2010, the system should go back to showing strong credit expansion (above 20%) as a result of the expectations of GDP growth above 5% and, therefore, a more robust economic activity scenario. Thus, with credit recovery and signs of reduced delinquency (pursuant to data published by the Central Bank in December 2009), the financial system should present increased results. | ||
Despite the decrease as compared to previous years, which was mainly due to high loan loss provisions, Bradescos profitability remains good and is better than its peer average as shown in Table 1. In addition, Bradescos profitability levels compare well with the global industry, especially among banks of similar scale. The recurring result remained virtually stable as compared to 2008, even taking into consideration the adverse scenario due to global crises, with loan loss provisions offset by higher financial margins, as well as of increased volume of operations, showing its strong and diversified franchise. At 1Q10, its recurring profit was BRL2.147 million (a 9.8% increase from the same period last year) due to increasing volumes of operations with higher spreads and despite still high loan loss provisions and lower treasury gains. | ||

Operating Revenue | ||
Bradescos profitability has been based on its strong revenue generation capacity (evident in the line of operating result before credit provisions of the spreadsheet), which increased 47.4% in 2009. The margins also showed a strong increase, reflecting tighter credit conditions, offsetting modest growth and the stable contribution of the rpresentative non-interest revenues. This enabled the bank to absorb the high provision increase and still record good results. Margins should see some pressure s resurgent loan demands and rising interest rates could pressure funding costs. These will also be pressured by the reversal of the by higher deposit reserve requirements as authorities reversed to easing of these during 1H09. Renewed loan growth with ample, although decreasing margins, combined with more modest credit costs, should point to improved results in 2010 and 2011. | ||
Fee revenues, on the other hand, have recorded modest increases since 2008 (6.9% in 2009 and 3.8% in 2008) after an increase of 21% in 2007 and in 2006. This was basically due to changes in local rules to inhibit the collection of banking charges from individuals. In light of this, fee revenue has reduced its relation with administrative and personnel expenses (as shown in Table 1), which may result in increased reliance upon credit margins. However, this revenue continues to be relevant and diversified, accounting for 27% of the profit in 2009 and comprising: credit card revenues (29%), current accounts (19%), credit operations (14%), fund administration (14%), collection (9%), administration of consortiums (3%), and others (12%). | ||
Loan Loss Provisions | ||
Given the lower pace of loan expansion and the strong delinquency resulting from the global financial crisis, provisions have consumed a significant part of the operating result before loan loss provisions (see Table 1) and should continue to be an important variable in the banks results. However, the creation of provisions has decreased in relation to the 2Q09 peak and should be relatively lower in 2010, as observed in 1Q10. Existing reserves, as well as the strong revenue generation, leave the bank well positioned to face new pressures. | ||
Non-Interest Expenses | ||
The banks efforts to control costs and the continued revenue increase havetranslated into better efficiency ratios as compared with its peers over the past few years. After an increase in 2008, primarily due to higher funding costs, the cost/revenue ratio improved to 48.6% in 2009 and remains better than its peer average, as shown in Table 1. Management believes there is still room for improvement over the long term, despite the slight increase over the short term, due to investments in new branches and in IT. Driven mainly by higher Cofins, tax expenses strongly increased in 2009 (38%). Administrative (excluding taxes) and | ||
Banco Bradesco S.A. | 5 |
June 2010 |
personnel (which include profit sharing distributions) expenses, mainly generated by business growth, and investments in infrastructure and collective bargaining agreements recorded increases of 12.4% and 7.8%, respectively. | ||
Risk Management | ||
Diversified credit portfolio with better quality than peer average. |
Bradescos risk management is centralized and overseen by a managing director who reports directly to the board of directors. The unit is subdivided into five areas: market and liquidity risk, operational risk, integrated and capital allocation risk, credit risk, and risk modeling. The banks major risk is credit risk, including its exposure to public and private sector securities. Market risk inherent in its FX and interest rate positions can be volatile, but the limits are very conservative. | |
Increase in portfolio risk profile offset by agility in management and strong loan coverage by provisions well above local regulatory requirements. | ||
Credit Risk | ||
Bradescos historical focus on retail banking has helped it develop considerable expertise in this area. Credit approval is centralized at the head office through an electronic process that uses Bradescos own databases and tools, as well as others available in the market. A centralized group-wide credit department evaluates exposures that exceed branch limits, and exposures above BRL10m are submitted to the senior credit committee for approval. Nominal approval limits, stable in recent years despite capital growth, may be raised to facilitate portfolio expansion. Fitch considers the groups culture conservative and understands that its controls are adequate for the planned expansion. | ||
Bradescos loan portfolio is well diversified, with no single economic sector accounting for more than 7% of total exposures in December 2009. Risk concentration is relatively low, and the largest loan exposure was equivalent to only 3.3% of regulatory capital, which was well below the regulatory ceiling of 25%. The 20 largest exposures were equivalent to only 9.3% of total loans. The loan book maturity profile remains short term, as is typical in Brazil, but is gradually lengthening with the greater participation of loans to individuals, specifically payroll deductible loans, auto loans, and, to a lesser but growing extent, real estate credit. According to the bank, the loan book average term is 16 months. In December 2009, around 39% of loans had maturities within six months (40% in 2008) and 45% within more than one year (44% in 2008). | ||
Bradescos loan portfolio, like that of its peers, has undergone a pronounced shift in mix since 2004 as a result of the rapid growth in consumer lending and SME loans. The growth in lending to individuals has been led by two well secured products, auto lending and lending against payroll deductions, which together accounted for 49% of the exposure to individuals in December 2009 (53% in 2008). Similar to its peers, the bank has more recently started to focus on credit cards, which now represent 18% of its exposure to individuals (13% in 2008); and, although unsecured, it provides a wealth of information on client behavior, and the high margin offsets the high delinquency. The balance of the exposure to individuals contains a mix of secured and unsecured loans. | ||
Although Bradesco has relied on operational accords to generate an important part of its pension and payroll lending in recent years, more recently it has originated a higher volume of these organically, improving control over the credit and operational aspects. Delinquencies in payroll discounted loans and vehicle financings are relatively low, and the process for recovering repossessed automobiles is, in general, efficient in Brazil. | ||
In wholesale, Bradesco tends to negotiate with the largest companies in Brazil and actively participates in fixed income operations in the local capital market. In this segment, its strong distribution capacity is a clear advantage. After an increase during the strongest period of the crisis (between September 2008 and mid-2009), the exposure to large corporations went back to a level close to its historical participation at year-end 2009 when these corporations returned to access the | ||
Banco Bradesco S.A. | 6 |
June 2010 |
capital market in search of lower cost funding and due to the effect of BRL revaluation against the USD in foreign currency loans (BRL14.4bn or 18% of large corporation loan book). | ||
Experience with Loan Losses and Reserves | ||
Bradescos LLRs remain strong and well above local regulatory requirements, fully covering loans overdue for more than 60 days (non-accrual under local standards). The bank monitors its provisions and the expectations of loss per segment and attempts to maintain provisions at around 2.0x the percentage of historical realized losses. In 2008 and 2009, Bradesco strengthened these reserves above the regulatory minimum, adding BRL597m and BRL1.477m, respectively, to the excess amount to protect itself against greater market delinquency, thus bringing total excess provisions since 2Q09 to BRL3.0bn (1.6% of the portfolio) and demonstrating its conservative stance. | ||
Despite the strong increase in Bradescos LLPs (69.3% in 2009, 43.9% in 2008 and 22.3% in 2007) having reached a high percentage as compared to the operating result these ratios were better than its local peer average, and loss coverage remains ample (see Table 3 on the next page). | ||

After a peak of 5.9% of the loan portfolio in September 2009, loans overdue for more than 60 days (non-accrual) declined to 5.7% in December 2009 and 5.3% in March 2010. Fitch expects this trend to continue in 2010 as the local economy continues to show strong growth. Asset quality indicators should return to historical levels close to 4.0%, benefiting further from the portfolio increase projected for 2010. | ||
Market Risk and Asset and Liability Management | ||
Fitch considers Bradescos treasury to be conservative, with adequate systems and controls. Bradesco operates primarily with interest rate instruments, and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency swaps, limiting open positions with derivatives, most of which traded on the Stock, Mercantile, and Futures Exchange (BM&F Bovespa). The value- at-risk (VaR) limit for trading, with a 99% confidence level, is conservative, historically representing a maximum of 2.0% of its equity, a level which was only exceeded during the period of maximum turbulence, 4Q08, when it peaked at 2.2% of the equity (BRL751m). The maximum VaR in 2009 was BRL417m, with an average of BRL92m during the year due to reduced volatility and positioning. | ||
In 2009, Bradesco broadened the set of limits aimed at limiting market risk, introducing stress limits for proprietary trading and the Capital Economic Value (EVE) for banking, including VaR and EVE for the insurance group. The banking portfolio, which carries structural gaps between assets and liabilities in the balance sheet, has been informally controlled by the EVE system since September 2008 and carries treasurys largest exposures, which is normal in a commercial bank. This portfolio did not exceed the limits, but its utilization has varied above 60% of the limit since November 2008. Term mismatches are not representative, with longer terms virtually covered by its capital, subordinated debt, and long-term funding. | ||

Like its local peers, Bradesco does not disclose its structural position sensitivity ratios to uniform interest rate movements, which are common in the global industry. The application of stress scenarios defined by the regulator as strongly aggressive and notwithstanding the capacity of the institution to manage its positions would point out an effect, which, on Dec. 31, 2009, would have consumed 42% and 7.9% of the net result and of the equity, respectively. | ||
Operating Risk and Basel II | ||
Bradesco is implementing the necessary framework for credit and operational risk as proposed under Basel II and is committed to moving towards more sophisticated approaches: the advanced measurement approach for operational risk and the internal ratings based approach for credit risk. Nevertheless, no bank will be allowed to directly implement the more advanced approaches. Implementation of the alternative standardized approach for operational risk consumed only BRL1.678m of the banks regulatory capital, which was BRL56.063m in March 2010. | ||
Other Assets | ||
Bradescos total exposure to the federal government was 4.5x its equity, in December 2009, which is normal for a bank in Brazil since these papers are the instrument most used for liquidity in the country and the priority given by Bradesco to liquidity has helped to increase investments in these securities. The relevant participation of insurance activities also explains an important part of the need to carry a more extensive government securities portfolio than those of local peers. The technical reserves for its insurance, pension fund, and capitalization activities totaled BRL75.6bn in December 2009, and a significant part of them is guaranteed by government securities, the principal alternative available for long-term local currency investments required for these reserves. Furthermore, government securities are also used to fulfill significant reserve requirements with the Central Bank and domestic clearing house margins. | ||

Funding and Capital | |
Funding and Liquidity | ||
Bradescos liquidity ratios remained solid, even at the peak of the global financial crisis. Domestic liquidity is ensured by maintaining a minimum balance of liquid assets, comprising primarily federal securities, which Fitch deems adequate, given the banks historical deposit stability and the groups total liabilities. In response to the crisis, the bank doubled its cash, and, in March 2009 it was more than 3.0x the amount normally used. | ||
A well diversified client base of savings and sight deposits is the backbone of the banks funding structure and one of its major strengths. These deposits grew 20.3% in 2009 (6.7% in 2008), with savings accounts proving more attractive in an environment of relatively low nominal interest rates. With the decline of term deposits as a result of modest credit expansion, total deposits increased only 4% | ||
Banco Bradesco S.A. | 8 |
June 2010 |
in 2009 compared to 67.3% in 2008. In total, deposits corresponded to 37% of non- equity funding in December 2009 (39% in 2008). Around 60% of the deposits are placed by retail customers, translating into low concentrations and a lower funding cost. | ||
Open market funding, which accounted for 24% of non-equity funding in 2009 and 19% in 2008, has been another important and growing funding source. A good portion of it has been backed by debentures of the subsidiary Bradesco Leasing, which represented a lower funding cost until May 2008. Brazilian authorities gradually imposed reserve requirements on the transfer of debentures to other institutions, virtually putting their costs on par with deposits. | ||
Bradesco has also positioned itself among the largest private international issuers in Latin America. In December 2009, it had a balance of BRL12.3bn in issues of various programs and foreign lines from correspondent banks (excluding external subordinated debts), benefiting from the strength of its franchise among Brazilian banks. | ||
With higher credit growth scheduled for 2010, the pressure on funding costs has increased, and strong loan demand should lead to growth of deposits and local and foreign issuances. Longer term funding is normally obtained from governmental institutions for transfer to priority sectors and from foreign issuances. | ||
Capital | ||
Bradesco has made active use of national and international markets that have generally been very receptive to subordinated debt and hybrid capital instruments, excluding the global financial crisis period. However, the bank remains committed to its policy of meeting regulatory capital requirements (11%), with Tier I capital recording a 14.3% ratio in March 2010 as a result of high recurring profits. Total regulatory capital has been relatively high (16.8% in March 2010) and should continue to compare well locally and internationally, even with the changes in local rules in 2010. The changes include additional provision for credit no longer to be considered as regulatory capital as of April and the allocation of capital for the operational risk of non financial companies, starting in July 2010. Considering these rules, the ratio would have been 15.6% in March 2010. | ||
Per Fitchs methodology, capital is defined as core capital added to a recognized volume of hybrid capital, which jointly form Fitch Eligible Capital. Under these definitions, the eligible capital/risk-weighted assets still reached 11.4% in December 2009. The significant difference between Bradescos regulatory capital ratio and Fitchs eligible capital ratio results from the deduction from the core capital of BRL10.7bn relative to the groups insurance subsidiaries (basically Bradesco Seguros), although these companies are well-capitalized and consistently profitable. | ||
Aligned to its main competitors, Bradesco also carries a significant volume of tax credits on its balance sheet. A small part results from tax losses carried forward, which means a longer realization (7.1% of the total or BRL1.1bn, also deducted from core capital under Fitchs methodology), with the balance primarily generated from temporary differences between provisions and their eventual realization/reversal. Other intangible assets, which explain the difference between tax credits and the total intangibles used for calculation of the eligible capital, are mainly relative to the goodwill of previous acquisitions and also deducted from core capital. | ||
Bradescos bylaws provide for a minimum distribution of 30% of the net income after legal reserves. In 2009, the bank distributed 33.9% of its profit (35.3% in 2008). Bradescos consistent profitability has enabled a good capacity of internal generation of capital, and its willingness to ensure Tier 1 capital above 11% has assured solid capitalization. Despite the relevant participation of the capital | ||

allocated, its insurance business is an important part of the banks diversified franchise and has presented consistent profitability. With good market positioning, the segment is well positioned for growth as Brazils insurance market continues to expand. | ||
