To the Shareholders and Directors of Credicorp Ltd. and Subsidiaries

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Credicorp Ltd. and Subsidiaries (hereinafter “the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended; as well as the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of material accounting policies.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023, as well as its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for opinion

 

We conduct our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) approved for application in Peru by the Board of Deans of Associations of Public Accountants of Peru. Our responsibilities under these standards are described in more detail in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Accounting Professionals of the International Ethical Standards Council for Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Peru, and we have complied with our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained provides a sufficient and adequate basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of the greatest importance in the audit of the financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon; so we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Based on the above, below is how each key issue was addressed during our audit.

Report of the Independent Auditors (continue)

 

We have complied with the responsibilities described in Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to the risks of material misstatement assessed in the consolidated financial statements. The results of the audit procedures, including the procedures undertaken to address the matters mentioned below, form the basis for the audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Key Audit Matters		Audit Response
Information Technology (IT) Environment
The Group’s information technology (IT) environment consists of an infrastructure of a large number of key systems for the processing of its operations, accounting records and preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Group’s Management has designed a series of automatic controls, interfaces between the systems and executed calculations of the applications; with the aim of ensuring the completeness and accuracy of accounting records and accurate financial reports, and thus mitigating the potential risk of fraud or error.   In light of the above, we consider the information technology environment to be a key issue, as the Group depends on the efficient and continuous operation of IT applications as well as their automatic controls, so there is a risk that breaches in the IT control environment may result in accounting records being materially misstated.		With the support of our Information Technology (IT) specialists, our audit efforts focused on the key systems related to the processing of its operations, accounting records and preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements; performing the following procedures:   -     Evaluation of the Group’s IT governance framework. -     Understanding of the control environment and identification of risks of IT processes. -     Testing key controls over application and data access management, program changes and application development, and IT operations. -     Testing of the design and operational effectiveness of the key automatic controls identified in the various relevant processes of the Group. -     Testing of the design and operational effectiveness of applicable compensation controls.

Provision for credit losses on loan portfolio
As described in notes 3(j), 7 and 30.1 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, the measurement of expected credit loss is based primarily on the product of the probability of default (PD), the loss given the default (LGD), and the exposure at the time of default (EAD), discounted at the reporting date and considering the expected macroeconomic effects. The expected credit loss impairment model reflects the present value of all cash deficit events related to the default events, either (i) over the next twelve months or (ii) over the expected life of the loan depending on its impairment from inception.   Significant assumptions and judgments considered by the Group, with respect to the estimation of the expected loss, include: (i) the probability of default, based on the debtor’s payment behavior and credit risk management based primarily on the Group’s internal rating and scoring models; (ii) the loss assigned for default, which is considered to determine the fair value of the guarantees and recoveries; (iii) the determination of the exposure balance at a future default date, which takes into account expected changes in exposure after the reporting date, including principal and interest repayments; (iv) forward-looking forecasts for multiple economic scenarios and the probability weighting of those scenarios; (v) the determination of when a loan has experienced a significant increase in credit risk; (vi) the individual analysis of corporate clients classified in phase 3, mainly considering the situation of the recoverability of the guarantees, analysis of financial statements and sector in which the debtor operates; (vii) the calculation of credit losses for 12 months and over the expected life of the credit agreement; and (viii) the application of the judgment specifically for the current situation of the El Niño phenomenon affecting our country.		We gained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operational effectiveness of the controls of the expected loss provision estimation process for the Group’s loan portfolio, which included the following procedures:  -     Evaluation of the methodology and criteria established for the calculation according to IFRS9. -     Evaluation of the methodology and criteria related to the estimate made by the Group corresponding to the current situation of the El Niño phenomenon. -     Evaluation of the significant models and assumptions established by the Group in the calculation, such as: PD, LGD, EAD, scores, rating and forward-looking information forecasts for multiple economic scenarios and the probability weighting of those scenarios. -     Completeness and accuracy of the database in the Group’s systems. -     Identification of impairment indicators and determination of significant changes in credit risk. -     Individual analysis of corporate clients classified in phase 3. -     Calculation of the expected loss estimate for the loan portfolio. -     Review of disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.   In addition, with the support of our specialists, we carried out detailed substantive procedures, which included:  -     Assessment that the methodology, assumptions and judgments used in the expected loss estimation models are consistent with the requirements of IFRS9 and the Group’s accounting policies. -     Testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the calculation of the provision and, selectively, checking the main data against the source systems.

 

Report of the Independent Auditors (continue)

 

Key Audit Matters		Audit Response
In view of the above, we consider that the estimate of expected loss for the loan portfolio is a key audit matter, given that any change in assumptions and/or judgments could have material effects on the calculation of the provision. In addition, the determination of accounting figures requires the participation of specialists due to the inherent complexity of the models, assumptions, judgments, prospective nature of the key assumptions, and the interrelationship of critical variables in the measurement.		-     Comparison of the Group’s macroeconomic projections (forward-looking information) with publicly available information from independent sources. -     Assessment of significant changes in credit risk triggers. -     Evaluation of the estimate made by the Group related to the current situation of the El Niño phenomenon. -     Evaluation of corporate clients classified in phase 3 that the Group analyzes individually. -     Independently testing the calculation of the estimate of the provision of credits. -     Assessment of adequate disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Estimation of liabilities for life insurance contracts under the general valuation model
As described in notes 3(f), 8 and 30.9 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, the estimation of insurance contract liabilities is based primarily on: (i) review and identification of insurance contracts; (ii) grouping of insurance contracts; (iii) determination of the valuation models by product (general model or block construction - BBA, variable rate - VFA and the simplified model - PPA); (iv) definition of the discount rate; (v) calculation of the risk adjustment and (vi) calculation of the contractual service margin (CSM). The projections of cash inflows and outflows related to each portfolio of insurance contracts consider their probability of occurrence, and all cash flows that are within the contract limit are included.		We gained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operational effectiveness of the controls of the valuation process of life insurance contracts under the overall model, which included the following procedures: -     Review of the methodology and criteria established for calculation according to actuarial methods that are accepted under IFRS 17. -     Evaluation of the actuarial models, assumptions and assumptions of general acceptance, established by the Group. -     Review of the completeness and accuracy of the database used in the Group’s information systems to manage, calculate and raise awareness of these liabilities.

 

Report of the Independent Auditors (continue)

 

Key Audit Matters		Audit Response
To determine the assumptions and estimates, the Group relies on parameters derived from the experience of managing its portfolio. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments could change due to changes in the market or circumstances beyond the Group’s control. The parameters are kept up to date to reflect such changes in assumptions where necessary. In addition, the Group re-evaluates the CSM each period considering the experience that the Group has had. The parameters used to estimate estimated future cash flows is a comparison between actual rates and estimated rates and the following assumptions are evaluated: mortality, longevity, disability, expenses, and falls.   Considering the above, we consider insurance liabilities to be a key audit matter, as any changes in assumptions and data could have material effects on the valuation of liabilities; In addition, the determination of accounting figures is complex and requires the involvement of specialists due to actuarial models.		-     Review of the correct allocation of discount rates for the calculation of liabilities for life insurance contracts. -     Review of the calculation of the liability valuation estimate. -     Review of disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.   In addition, with the support of our actuarial specialists, we carried out detailed substantive procedures, which included: -     Assessment that the methodology defined by the Group on actuarial models and assumptions is consistent with the application of IFRS 17. -     Independent evaluation of the actuarial model and assumptions used in the calculation. -     Proof of the completeness and accuracy of the policy data used, as well as the variables used in the calculation. -     Evaluation of the proper determination of the discount rate used in the calculations. -     Reconciliation of the discount rates charged to the application, where the calculations are determined, comparing them with those defined by the risk area. -     Proof, independently, of the calculation made by the Group. -     Evaluation of the appropriate movement of liabilities considering changes in actuarial assumptions at the end of the year. -     Evaluation of the sensitivity of changes in certain variables in the determination of these liabilities. -     Assessment of the adequacy of disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Other Matter

 

As described in Note 3(b) to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are presented for comparative purposes, they have been restated due to the initial implementation of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts. These restated consolidated financial statements, including their opening balance as of January 1, 2022, as well as the respective adjustments related to the retroactive effect of the implementation of IFRS 17 on those financial statements, were audited by other independent auditors, who expressed an unchanged opinion.

 

Other information included in the Group’s 2023 Annual Report

 

Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our audit report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information.

 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge gained in the audit or whether it otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have done, we conclude that there is a material error in this other information, we are obliged to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Responsibilities of the Group’s management and those charged with corporate governance for the consolidated financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as appropriate matters relating to the going concern and using the going concern’s accounting basis, unless Management intends to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative to doing so.

 

Report of the Independent Auditors (continue)

 

Those responsible for the Group’s corporate governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

 

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

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or cumulatively, you could reasonably expect them to influence the economic decisions that users make based on the consolidated financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) approved for application in Peru by the Board of Deans of Associations of Public Accountants of Peru, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Also:

 

-

We identify and evaluate the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and execute audit procedures that respond to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide us with a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is greater than that resulting from an error, as fraud may involve collusion, falsification, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or overstepping the internal control system.

-	We obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

-	We evaluate the adequacy of the accounting policies used, the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and the respective disclosures made by management.

-

We conclude on the adequacy of Management’s use of the going concern accounting basis and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there is material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may raise significant doubts about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that there is a material uncertainty, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. The findings are based on the audit evidence obtained to date from our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

 

Report of the Independent Auditors (continue)

 

-

We obtained sufficient and adequate audit evidence in relation to the financial information of the entities or business activities that are part of the Group, in order to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and execution of the Group’s audit and therefore for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate to those charged for the Group’s corporate governance, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, the significant findings of the audit, as well as any significant internal control deficiencies identified in the course of the audit.

 

We also provide those charged for the Group’s corporate governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements in relation to independence and have communicated to them about all relationships and other matters that could reasonably affect our independence and, as appropriate, including the respective safeguards.

 

Among the matters that have been the subject of communication with those responsible for the Group’s corporate governance, we have identified those that have been of the greatest significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the current period and, therefore, are the key audit matters. We have described such matters in our audit report unless legal or regulatory provisions prohibit public disclosure of the matter or, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be disclosed in our report because it would reasonably be expected that the adverse consequences of doing so would outweigh the public interest benefits of the report.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

 

a)

Main acquisitions, incorporations and mergers –

 

In 2023 and 2022, the Group has not carried out significant transaction of acquisitions, incorporations, or mergers of companies.

 

b)

Current situation –

 

Between the months of December 2022 and December 2023, Peru was affected by political and social events, as well as natural events that affected different regions, as indicated below:

 

In December 2022, in response to various political events that occurred in Peru, a series of riots and social protests occurred in different regions of the country, which resulted in a decrease in commercial activity in said regions and, therefore, the liquidity restriction in certain people and companies.

 

On June 8, 2023, the Government declared a State of Emergency for 60 days in certain areas, due to intense rainfall and possible El Niño Phenomenon, a measure that has been extended to date.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Bank maintains a balance of rescheduled loans for a total of S/692.6 million of retail loans (S/116.9 million as of December 31, 2022). In the opinion of Management, this situation has not affected the Group’s operations, nor has it generated any significant impact on the financial statements presented as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements are set out below:

 

a)

Basis of presentation, use of estimates and changes in accounting policies -

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, have been prepared following the historical cost criteria, except for investments at fair value through profit or loss, investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments, and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which have been measured at fair value.

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Soles (S/), which is the functional currency of Group, see paragraph (c) below, and values are rounded to thousands of soles, except when otherwise indicated.

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of significant events in notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. The final results could differ from said estimates; however, the Management expects that the variations, if any, will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The most significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are related to the calculation of the allowance of the expected credit loss on loan portfolio and the estimation of the liability for life insurance contracts under the general valuation model.

Furthermore, other estimates exist, such as: valuation of investments, technical reserves for claims, intangible, impairment of goodwill, credit loss for investments at fair value through other comprehensive income and investments at amortized cost, the valuation of derivative financial instruments and deferred income tax. The accounting criteria used for these estimates are described below.

 

The Group has adopted the following standards and modifications for first time for its annual period that starts on January 1, 2023, as described below:

 

(i)

IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” – See note 3(b).

 

(ii)

Definition of Accounting Estimates – Modifications to IAS 8-

 

The amendments to IAS 8 clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. They will also clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.

 

The modifications had no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

(iii)

Disclosure of accounting policies – Amendments to IAS 1 and Statement of Practice IFRS 2-

 

They provide guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments are intended to help entities provide more useful disclosures of accounting policies by replacing the requirement that entities disclose their “material” accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their “material” accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality. in making decisions on accounting policy disclosures.

 

The amendments have had an impact on the disclosures of the Group’s accounting policies, but not on the measurement, recognition, or presentation of any item in the Group’s financial statements.

 

(iv)

Deferred Taxes related to Assets and Liabilities – Modifications to IAS 12-

 

These modifications establish that deferred taxes arising from a single transaction that, upon initial recognition, give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences of the same value must be recognized. This will generally apply to transactions such as leases (for lessees) and decommissioning or remediation obligations, where recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities will be required. These modifications must apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the first comparative period presented. Additionally, deferred tax assets (to the extent it is probable that they can be utilized) and deferred tax liabilities should be recognized at the beginning of the first comparative period for all deductible or taxable temporary differences associated with:

 

- Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and 

- Liabilities for dismantling, restoration and similar, and the corresponding amounts recognized as part of the cost of the related assets.

 

The cumulative effect of these adjustments is recognized in retained earnings or another component of equity, as appropriate.

 

Previously, IAS 12 did not establish any particular accounting treatment for the tax effects of leases that are recognized on the balance sheet and for similar transactions, so different approaches were considered acceptable. Entities that are already recognizing deferred taxes from these transactions will have no impact on their financial statements.

 

The modifications will be effective for the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted.

 

The modifications had no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In 2022, the Group adopted the following modifications:

 

(i)

Modifications to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework –

 

Minor amendments were made to IFRS 3 Business Combinations to update references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and add an exception to recognize liabilities and contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and IFRIC Interpretation 21 Liens.

 

The amendments also confirm that contingent assets should not be recognized on the acquisition date. The modification became effective for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2022.

 

 

The modification of the standard did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

(ii)

Onerous Contracts - Cost of fulfilling a contract - Modifications to IAS 37 –

 

In May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify what cost an entity should include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. The amendment to IAS 37 clarifies that the direct costs of fulfilling a contract include both the incremental costs of fulfilling the contract and the allocation of other costs directly required to fulfill the contracts. Before recognizing a separate provision for the onerous contract, the entity shall recognize any impairment loss that has occurred in relation to the assets used to fulfill the contract.

 

The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

 

The modification had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

(iii)

Annual improvements to IFRS Cycle 2018 - 2020 –

 

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to the IFRS standard process, in May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the following amendments:

 

-

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – clarification that commissions must be included in the 10.0 percent test for the derecognition of financial liabilities.

 

-

IFRS 1 First-time adoption of international financial reporting standards – allows entities that have measured their assets and liabilities at the book value recorded in the books of their parent company to also measure any accumulated translation differences using the amounts reported by the headquarters.

 

This modification will also apply to associates and joint ventures that have assumed the same expectation with IFRS 1.

 

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

 

The modification had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

b)

Change in accounting policies, adoption of new IFRS and disclosures-

 

IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Group has restated the 2022 information applying the transitional provisions of IFRS 17.

 

The nature of the changes in accounting policies is summarized as follows:

 

Changes in classification and measurement:

 

IFRS 17 establishes specific principles for the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts issued and reinsurance contracts maintained by the Group.

 

The key principles of IFRS 17 applied are:

 

-

The Group identifies insurance contracts as those under which it accepts a significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specific uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects to the policyholder.

 

 

-

The Group evaluates the products and separates the implicit derivatives, the different investment components and the different goods or services of the insurance contract services and accounts for them in accordance with the standards that apply to them.

 

-

The Group divides insurance and reinsurance contracts into groups that it will recognize and measure.

 

-

The Group determines the Unit of Account (UoA) requested by the new regulation, for long-term businesses, taking into consideration the product portfolio, currency, cost and year of issue.

 

-

For general insurance and short-term life insurance contracts, the measurement principles of the premium allocation approach (PAA) do not differ significantly from the considerations used by the Group under IFRS 4:

 

-

The Liability for Remaining Coverage reflects accrued premiums less insurance acquisition cash flows plus deferred premiums.

-

The Group determines the level of onerousness of each group of contracts by calculating the combined ratio of each Unit of Account. If the Unit of Account is onerous, the liability for remaining coverage involves explicit recognition of the loss component.

-

The measurement of the liability for incurred claims is determined based on the discounted value considering the expected payment flows and includes an explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

   

-

For long-term life insurance contracts, the Group recognizes and measures groups of insurance contracts in:

 

-

A present value of expected future cash flows that incorporates all available information on fulfillment cash flows and considers market interest rates. A risk adjustment for non-financial risk is included.

-

An amount that represents the future technical profit (the contractual service margin or CSM) in the group of contracts.

-

Recognizes the gain from a group of insurance contracts during each period in which the Group provides insurance contract services, as the Group frees itself from risk. If a group of contracts is expected to be onerous (i.e. loss-making) during the remaining coverage period, the Group recognizes the loss immediately.

 

Changes in presentation and disclosure –

 

For presentation in the consolidated statement of financial position, the Group groups together the insurance and reinsurance contracts and presents them separately:

 

-

Reinsurance Contract Assets.

-

Insurance Contract Liability.

 

The portfolios mentioned above are those established on initial recognition in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 17. 

 

 

The descriptions of items in the income statement and other comprehensive income have changed compared to last year. Previously, the Group reported the following items:

 

-

Net Claims.

-

Incurred for life general and health insurance contracts.

-

Acquisition costs.

 

Instead, IFRS 17 requires the separate presentation of:

 

-

Insurance Service result of the insurance service (which includes income and expenses of the insurance service).

-

Underwriting result (which includes income and expenses from reinsurance contracts).

-

The net financial expenses of the insurance activity, which are presented in the headings of interest and similar expenses, see note 19.

 

The Group provides disaggregated qualitative and quantitative information in the notes to the financial statements on:

 

-

Amounts recognized in their financial statements for insurance contracts.

-

Significant judgments, and changes in those judgments, when applying the standard.

 

Transition settings. -

 

On the transition date, January 1, 2022, the Group:

 

-

Has identified, recognized, and measured each group of insurance contracts as if IFRS 17 had always been applied.

-

Existing balances that would not exist if IFRS 17 had always been applied were derecognized.

-

Recognized any resulting net difference in equity.

 

The Group decided to apply the fair value transition methodology as obtaining reasonable and supportable information to apply the full retrospective approach was impracticable without disproportionate cost or effort. The fair value method consists of obtaining the amount for which a portfolio of liabilities could be transferred to a third party. This amount was compared with the balance of the estimate of technical provisions (Best Estimation of Liabilities – “BEL”) and Risk Adjustment existing on the transition date, and the result was the CSM on said date. Likewise, the future benefit provided by the insurance contracts (Contractual Service Margin – “CSM”) was determined and will be released in the income statement to the extent that the Group provides its services to the insured. In determining the fair value, the Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

 

To apply the fair value approach, the Group has used reasonable and sustainable information available at the transition date in order to:

 

-

Identify groups of insurance contracts.

-

Determine if any contract is a direct participation insurance contract.

-

Identify any discretionary cash flows for insurance contracts without direct participation features.

 

The discount rate for the group of contracts applying the fair value approach was determined on the transition date. Therefore, to measure compliance cash flows at the transition date, the discount rate (locked-in rate) was determined using the bottom-up approach at inception. 

 

 

The Group has chosen to disaggregate insurance financial income or expenses between the amounts included in results and the amounts included in other comprehensive income and readjust to zero the accumulated amount of insurance financial income or expenses recognized in other comprehensive income on the date of Transition. The Group used the fair value approach for those contracts with initial recognition prior to January 1, 2022, and the full retrospective approach for contracts recognized on this date or later.

 

As a result of the initial application of IFRS 17, the Group has restated its consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2022, mainly recognizing a decrease in equity of S/210.8 million and as of December 31, 2022, an increase in equity of S/15.5 million and net income of S/14.7 million. Additionally, IFRS 17 requires that the net balances of insurance and reinsurance contract portfolios be presented as assets or liabilities, as appropriate, in the consolidated statement of financial position. In this sense, the amounts related to these accounts differ from what was previously presented under IFRS 4 as of December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022 (transition date).

 

c)

Basis of consolidation –

 

Investment in subsidiaries -

 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Credicorp and its Subsidiaries for all the years presented.

 

Under IFRS 10 all entities over which the Group has control are subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

 

-

Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

-

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

-

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

 

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

 

-

The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee.

-

Rights arising from other contractual arrangements.

-

The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

 

The Group assesses whether or not it controls an investee if the facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in any of the elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, income and expenses of Credicorp and its subsidiaries.

 

Profit or loss for the period and each component of the other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interest, even if this results in the non-controlling interest with a negative balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

 

Assets in custody or managed by the Group, such as investment funds and private pension funds (AFP funds) and others, are not part of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, note 3(x).

 

Transactions with non-controlling interest -

 

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction and any resulting difference between the price paid and the price for which non-controlling interests are adjusted is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

 

The Group does not record any additional goodwill after the purchase of the non-controlling interest, nor does it recognize a gain or loss from the sale of the non-controlling interest.

 

Loss of control -

 

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the carrying amount of the related assets (including goodwill) and liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any residual investment retained is recognized at fair value.

 

Investments in associates -

 

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity, but without exercising control over said policies.

 

The Group’s investments in its associates are recognized initially at cost and are subsequently accounted for using the equity method. They are included in “Other assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position; the returns resulting from the use of the equity method of accounting are included in “Net gain on securities” of the consolidated statement of income.

 

 

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the following entities comprise the Group (the individual or consolidated figures of their financial statements are presented in accordance with IFRS and before eliminations for consolidation purposes, except for the elimination of Credicorp’s treasury shares and its related dividends):

Credicorp Holding Chile was incorporated in Chile on July 18, 2012, and aims to invest for long-term profitable purposes, in corporeal goods (movable and immovable property) and incorporeal, located in Chile or abroad. Its main subsidiary is Credicorp Capital Chile S.A.

 

c)

Credicorp Capital Holding Perú S.A. was incorporated in Peru on October 30, 2014, and aims to be the Peruvian holding of investment banking. Its main subsidiary Credicorp Capital Perú S.A.A.; which has as its main activity the function of holding shares, participations and transferable securities in general, providing advisory services in corporate and financial matters, and investment in real estate.

 

(v)

CCR Inc. was incorporated in the year 2000. Its main activity is to manage funding granted to BCP by foreign financial entities or investors. These loans matured in the course of 2022 and were guaranteed by transactions carried out by BCP.

 

The information presented is based on the legal structure of the Group. The information grouped according to the business lines is revealed in note 27 Operating segments.

 

 

d)

Functional, presentation and foreign currency transactions –

 

(i)

Functional and presentation currency -

 

Credicorp and its Subsidiaries which operate in Peru consider the sol as their functional and presentation currency since it reflects the nature of the economic events and relevant circumstances for most of the Group´s entities, given the fact their major transactions and/operations, such as: loans granted, financing obtained, sale of insurance premiums, interests and similar income, interest and similar expenses, as well as a significant percentage of their purchases; they are agreed and settled in soles.

 

(ii)

Transactions and balances in foreign currency -

 

Foreign currency transactions are those entered into in currencies other than the functional currency. These transactions are initially recorded by Group entities at the exchange rates of their functional currencies at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are adjusted at the exchange rate of the functional currency prevailing at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The differences arising from the exchange rate prevailing at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position presented and the exchange rate initially used in recording transactions are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they occur, in “Exchange differences result”, except for those that correspond to monetary items that are part of a hedging strategy for a net investment abroad, said accumulated difference is recognized in the caption “Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities acquired in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the initial transaction date and are not subsequently adjusted.

 

(iii)

Group entities with functional currency other than the presentation currency -

 

Given that the Group’s entities in Colombia, Chile, Cayman Islands, Panama and Bolivia, Mexico, United States of America and Spain have a functional currency different from the sol, the balances were translated into Soles for consolidation purposes in accordance with IAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” as follows:

 

-

Assets and liabilities, at the closing rate prevailing at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position.

-

Income and expense, at the average exchange rate for each month of the year.

 

All resulting exchange differences were recognized within “Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations”, including the differences in financial instruments designated as accounting hedges of said investments, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

e)

Recognition of income and expenses from banking activities -

 

Effective interest rate method:

 

Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) method for all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest expenses corresponding to liabilities measured at amortized cost are also recorded using the EIR.

 

The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts future cash flows that are estimated to be paid or received during the life of the instrument or a shorter period, if appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The EIR (and, therefore, the amortized cost of the financial asset or liability) is calculated taking into account any discount, premium and transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of the financial instrument, but the expected credit loss are not included.

 

 

Interest income and expenses:

 

The Group calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of those financial assets that are not impaired.

 

When a financial asset becomes impaired and, therefore, is considered in Stage 3 (as set out in Note 3(j) impairment of financial assets), the Group calculates interest income by applying the interest rate effective at the carrying amount of the asset, net of its provision for credit loss. If the evidence that the criteria for the recognition of the financial asset in Stage 3 are no longer met, the Group recalculates interest income in gross terms.

 

Interest income and expenses accrued from all financial instruments that generate interest, including those related to financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss, are recorded under the heading “Interest and similar income” and “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.

 

Dividends:

 

Dividends are recorded as income when they are declared.

 

Commissions and fees:

 

Income from commissions (which are not an integral part of the TIE) and fees are recognized as they are earned. Commissions and fees include, among others, the commission charged for the banking service in general such as account maintenance, shipping, transfers, loan syndication fees and fees for contingent credits.

 

Income from commissions and fees is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for providing the services. Performance obligations, as well as the timing of their satisfaction, are identified and determined at the time of contract. The Group’s revenue contracts do not include multiple performance obligations.

 

When the Group provides a service to its clients, the consideration is invoiced and generally collected immediately after the provision of a service at a given time or at the end of the contract period for a service provided over time.

 

The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it normally controls the services before transferring them to the client.

 

Other income and expenses:

 

All other income and expenses are recorded in the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

f)

Insurance activities –

 

Below is the accounting policy for the insurance activity applying IFRS 17 for the periods 2023 and 2022:

 

Classification of insurance and reinsurance contracts:

 

Insurance contracts are those contracts when the Group (the insurer) has accepted a significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. This definition also includes reinsurance contracts that the Group holds.

 

 

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Life insurance contracts offered by the Group include retirement, disability and survival insurance, annuities and individual life which includes Investment Link insurance contracts. The non-life insurance contracts issued by the Group mainly include automobile, fire and allied lines, technical branches and healthcare.

 

Accounting treatment of insurance and reinsurance contracts:

 

Separation of the components of insurance and reinsurance contracts-

 

The Group evaluates its insurance and reinsurance products to determine if they contain components that must be accounted for under another IFRS instead of IFRS 17.

 

After separating the various components, an entity must apply IFRS 17 to all remaining components of the (host) insurance contract.

 

Currently, the Group’s products do not include differentiated components that require separation.

 

Investment components are the amounts that an insurance contract requires an insurer to reimburse a policyholder, even if an insured event does not occur.

 

Investment components that are highly interrelated with the insurance contract of which they are a part are considered non-distinct and are not accounted for separately. However, the receipts and payments of the investment components are excluded from the income and expenses of the insurance activity.

 

Some reinsurance contracts issued contain profit commission arrangements. Under these agreements, there is a guaranteed minimum amount that the policyholder will always receive, whether in the form of profit commission, claims, or other contractual payment, regardless of whether the insured event occurs.

 

The components of the profit commission are assessed to be highly interrelated with the insurance component of reinsurance contracts so that they are considered non-distinct investment components so that separate accounting is not required.

 

Aggregation level and classification -

 

The grouping of contracts into units of account is carried out based on the types of products, currency, cost and year of subscription; because they have similar risks, they are managed jointly and no contract portfolio can contain contracts issued more than one year apart.

 

The Group classifies a portfolio of insurance contracts into two categories based on the expected profitability at the policy or contract level at the time of its recognition based on reasonable and sustainable information in:

 

-

Onerous contracts: A contract will be classified as onerous on the initial recognition date as long as the present value of the expected outflows is greater than the inflows.

 

-

Non-onerous contracts: Will contain contracts for which, upon initial recognition, the present value of the expected outflows is less than the present value of the inflows.

 

It should be noted that a contract for accounting purposes may differ from what is considered a contract for other purposes (i.e. legal or management).

 

 

The expected return of these portfolios at inception is determined based on existing actuarial valuation models that take into account new and existing businesses.

 

Recognition of insurance and reinsurance contracts -

 

The Group recognizes the groups of insurance contracts it issues starting from the first of the following:

 

-

The beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts.

-

The due date of the first payment of an insured group, or when the first payment is received if there is no due date.

-

For a group of onerous contracts, as soon as the facts and circumstances indicate that the group is onerous.

 

The Group recognizes a group of reinsurance contracts that it has entered into as follows:

 

-

Whether the reinsurance contracts held provide proportional coverage at the beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held or at the initial recognition of any underlying contract, whichever is later.

-

In all other cases from the beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts maintained.

 

Contract limit -

 

The Group includes in the measurement of a group of insurance contracts all future cash flows within the limit of each contract in the group. Cash flows are within the limits of an insurance contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the Group has a substantive obligation to provide the policyholder with insurance services. insurance contract.

 

The substantive obligation to provide the services of the insurance contract ends when:

 

-

The Group has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the particular policyholder and, as a result, can establish a price or level of benefits that fully reflects those risks.

-

The following two criteria are met:

 

-

The Group has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the portfolio of insurance contracts contained in the contract and, as a result, can establish a price or profit level that fully reflects the risk of that portfolio.

 

-

The price of the premium until the date of re-evaluation of the risks does not take into account the risks that relate to periods after the date of re-evaluation.

 

A liability or asset related to expected premiums or claims outside the limit of the insurance contract is not recognized. These amounts refer to future insurance contracts.

 

For life contracts with renewal periods, the Group assesses whether the premiums and related cash flows arising from the renewed contract are within the limits of the contract.

 

Renewal prices are established by the Group considering all risks covered for the insured that would be considered when signing equivalent contracts on the renewal dates of the remaining service.

 

The Group re-evaluates each group’s contract limit at the end of each reporting period.

 

 

Measurement at initial recognition -

 

General model – Insurance contracts

 

The general model measures a group of insurance contracts as the total of:

 

-

Fulfillment cash flows.

-

A risk adjustment for non-financial risk

-

The contractual service margin (CSM) which represents the unearned technical profit that the Group will recognize as it provides services in the future.

 

Compliance cash flows comprise:

 

-

Estimates of future cash flows considering their probability of occurrence.

-

An adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to future cash flows.

 

The cash flows for each scenario are weighted according to the probability of their occurrence based on the experience of the Group’s portfolio and are discounted using current interest rate assumptions (risk-free curve + Matching Adjustment).

 

When estimating future cash flows, the Group includes all cash flows that are within the contract limit, including:

 

-

Premiums and related cash flows.

-

Expected future claims and benefits:

 

-

Payments to beneficiaries for the occurrence of insured events.

-

Payments to policyholders resulting from the incorporated surrender and maturity options.

-

Acquisition expenses attributable to the portfolio to which the contract belongs.

-

Claim settlement expenses.

-

Attributable policy maintenance expenses, including recurring commissions expected to be paid to intermediaries.

-

An allocation of fixed and variable overhead expenses directly attributable to compliance with insurance contracts.

 

If at the time of initially estimating the fulfillment flows of a group of contracts a net outflow is obtained, these contracts become onerous contracts and a liability will be recognized at that initial time in the statement of financial position. This amount is what we call the “loss component”.

 

A group of contracts that were not onerous on initial recognition may subsequently become onerous if assumptions change, even though the classification of their grouping or Unit of Account remains unchanged.

 

Simplified Model – initial recognition

 

The simplified model of the general method is the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA), which is applied by the Group for contracts with a duration equal to or less than one year or for which the amount of the provision does not differ significantly. of the general model.

 

If significant variability in cash flows from compliance is initially expected that would affect the measurement of the remaining coverage liability, the simplified method cannot be applied.

 

Under the premium allocation approach, the Group will assume that no contract is onerous unless the facts and circumstances indicate otherwise, which is why initially all contracts are grouped based on risk and how they are managed. To evaluate this possibility, a premium sufficiency test will be used that will evaluate the need to provide an additional provision and classify the Group of contracts as onerous (Onerousness Test).

 

 

For insurance contracts that apply the PAA approach, the Group initially recognizes written premiums net of commissions and deferred premiums as provision of remaining coverage (Liability for Remaining Coverage, LRC).

 

Post measurement – ​​insurance contracts

 

The book value of a group of insurance contracts after initial recognition will consist of:

 

(a) Liability for Remaining Coverage (LRC) comprising compliance cash flows, risk adjustment for non-financial risk and CSM of the Contract Group at the end of the reporting period.

 

(b) Incurred claims liability, which comprises compliance cash flows relating to the payment of reported and pending claims, incurred but not reported claims (IBNR) and claim settlement expenses. A risk adjustment for non-financial risk is also included.

 

The Group will recognize income or expenses for the variation in the book value of the Liability for Remaining Coverage and the liability for claims incurred:

 

(a) Income from insurance activity: the reduction of the liability for the service provided in the period.

 

The CSM at the end of the reporting period represents the gain in the Insurance Contract Group that has not yet been recognized in profit or loss, because it relates to the future service to be provided.

 

For a group of insurance contracts without direct participation components, the carrying value of the CSM at the end of the reporting period is equal to the carrying value at the beginning of the reporting period adjusted as follows:

 

-

The effect of new contracts added to the group. interest accrued on the carrying amount of the CSM during the reporting period, measured at the discount rates at initial recognition.

 

-

Changes in compliance cash flows related to future service such as:

 

○

Adjustment for experience: it must be disaggregated to reflect the different factors that cause such adjustments in the expected future benefits of the Group:

 

●

Adjustment in compliance flows due to claims experience is the variation in actual claims compared to expected claims. Likewise, this variation in the accident rate may lead to changes in the expected compliance flows. This variation will be recorded in a change in the CSM amount.

 

●

Adjustment for variation in operating assumptions - A variation in the projection operating assumptions (mortality, expenses, rescues, etc.) will be recorded against the CSM for the period. This change will be cumulative with the adjustments made previously.

 

●

Adjustment for premiums collected: Insurance premiums that relate to future service that have been received in the period require an adjustment to the contractual service margin. Likewise, an additional analysis must be carried out on the extraordinary contributions that the policyholder may make. Whether these new contributions made by the insured, different from regular premiums, should be considered new contracts or part of existing contracts. Therefore, it must be evaluated whether the new contributions are valued using the same conditions as at the beginning of the contract or if they are modified (mortality table, administration expenses, guaranteed rates, etc.).

 

 

-

In the event that the conditions of the contract are not modified in the extraordinary contribution, that is, it has the same conditions as the original contribution, it is considered that the cash flows are within the limits of the contract, and therefore Both the variation in expected cash flows will be considered as a variation in experience.

-

Changes in estimates of the present value of future cash inflows in the remaining coverage liability measured at discount rates.

-

Differences between the investment components that are expected to become payable in the period and the actual investment component that becomes payable in the period, measured at discount rates.

-

Changes in risk adjustment for non-financial risk that relates to future service.

-

The effect of currency exchange differences on the CSM.

 

-

The amount recognized as insurance income due to the transfer of insurance contract services in the period, determined by the allocation of the remaining CSM at the end of the reporting period (before any allocation) during the current coverage period and remaining.

 

For a group of insurance contracts with direct participation components, the amount of CSM to be reported in the books will be obtained by applying a series of adjustments to the value of the CSM of the previous period:

 

-

The effect of the new contracts added to the group.

-

The entity’s participation in the change in the fair value of the underlying elements.

-

Changes in compliance cash flows, such as a change in the entity’s loss experience and future expenses compared to those expected in the previous period.

-

The effect of currency exchange differences on the CSM.

-

The amount recognized as revenue from ordinary insurance activities due to the transfer of services in the period, determined by allocating the remaining contractual service margin at the end of the reporting period (before any allocation) over the current coverage period.

 

(b) Insurance activity expenses: for losses in onerous contract groups and reversals of these losses.

 

The Group will recognize a loss in the period’s results for the net outflow for the Group of onerous contracts, causing the Group’s liability book amount to equal the cash flows from compliance, with the Group’s contractual service margin being zero.

 

The loss component is released based on a systematic allocation of subsequent changes related to future service in compliance cash flows to:

 

(i)

The loss component; and

 

(ii) the remaining coverage liability excluding the loss component. The loss component is also updated for subsequent changes related to future service in estimates of compliance cash flows and risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

 

Systematic allocation of subsequent changes to the loss component results in total amounts allocated to the loss component being zero at the end of the coverage period of a contract group.

 

 

(c) Financial expenses and income from insurance: for the time value of money and financial risk effect.

 

The Group disaggregates financial income or expenses for insurance contracts issued for its immediate annuity and term life portfolios between profit or loss and OCI.

 

The impact of changes in market interest rates on the value of life insurance and related reinsurance assets and liabilities is reflected in OCI to minimize accounting mismatches between the accounting for financial assets and insurance assets and liabilities. The Group financial assets supporting the insurance portfolios issued are predominantly measured at amortized cost or fair value with changes in other comprehensive income. Financial income or expenses from reinsurance contracts issued by the Group are not disaggregated because the related financial assets are managed on a fair value basis and are measured at fair value with changes in income.

 

For presentation in the consolidated statement of financial position, the Group aggregates insurance and reinsurance contract portfolios that are assets or liabilities and presents them separately in the following items:

 

-

Reinsurance Contract Assets.

-

Insurance Contract Libility.

 

The presentation in the statement of comprehensive income is as follows:

 

-

Insurance service result (including insurance service income and expenses).

-

Underwriting (including income and expenses from reinsurance contracts).

-

Net financial expenses from insurance activity, presented in interest and similar expenses. See note 19.

 

The Company terminates insurance contracts when:

-

The rights and obligations relating to the contract are extinguished (i.e. released, canceled or expire).

 

Significant judgments and estimates.

 

The Group bases its assumptions and estimates on parameters derived from portfolio experience and these are used to prepare the financial statements. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments could change due to changes in the market or circumstances beyond the Group’s control. Parameters are updated to reflect such changes in assumptions as necessary.

 

The Group reassesses the CSM in each period with the adjustment for the entity’s experience. Parameters used for estimating future cash flows are a comparison between current and estimated rates, and the following hypotheses are evaluated: mortality, longevity, disability, expenses, and lapses.

 

For the measurement of the present value of future cash flows, it is necessary to define discount rates that consistently reflect the time value of money.

 

For the general method, it should be noted that in each valuation, it will be necessary to have two types of differentiated interest rates for discounting cash flows:

 

-

Market rate or current valuation rate: the interest rate obtained from current market data and assumptions. The discount rate as of the valuation date will be equal to the risk-free rate of the corresponding currency plus the Matching Adjustment described later.

 

 

-

Established initial rate or Locked-In Rate (LiR): an interest rate defined at the time of initial recognition of the insurance contract and will remain fixed until the termination of it, and will be used to:

 

-

Measuring cash flows from fulfillment at initial valuation;

-

Determining the amount of financial expenses or income from insurance included in the income statement for the period;

-

Determining accrued interest on the CSM;

-

Determining the portion of the financial effect on Cashflows that will be imputed to interest on liabilities;

-

Measuring changes in the contractual service margin.

 

For the determination of the discount curve of the established initial rate on the initial recognition date of the contract, the Matching Adjustment methodology (calibration adjustment) will be used. This methodology starts from the assets that cover the Group’s liabilities. Conceptually, the Matching Adjustment is a spread added to the risk-free curve (RFR) for calculating the present value of the Group obligations. This differential will be calculated as the IRR of “de-risked” assets minus the IRR of liabilities, minus the average “Cost of Downgrade” of the portfolio, and an adjustment for sub-”Investment Grade” investments in the portfolio. The determination of the Matching Adjustment is made by product type and currency.

 

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Group classified financial liabilities upon initial recognition as measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These liabilities include derivatives measured at fair value. Incurred interest is accrued in the “Interest and similar income” item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

Likewise, at the time of initial recognition, Management may irrevocably designate financial liabilities as measured at fair value through profit or loss when one of the following criteria is met:

 

-

An inconsistency in measurement that would otherwise arise using different criteria for measuring assets or liabilities is eliminated or significantly reduced;

-

They are part of a group of financial liabilities that are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, according to a documented investment or risk management strategy; or

-

The financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives that significantly modify the cash flows otherwise required.

 

(i)

Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities –

 

The reclassification of financial assets will take place whenever the business model managing the financial assets changes. It is expected that this change will be very infrequent. These changes are determined by approval of the Group’s management as a result of external or internal changes, which must be significant to the Group’s operations and demonstrable to third parties. Financial liabilities are never reclassified.

 

When the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, it will prospectively reclassify all affected financial assets from the date of reclassification. The Group will not restate previously recognized gains, losses, or interest (including gains or losses on impairment) recognized.

 

 

If the Group reclassifies: 

-

A financial asset from the amortized cost measurement category to the fair value through profit or loss category: its fair value will be measured at the reclassification date. Any gain or loss arising from differences between the previous amortized cost of the financial asset and the fair value will be recognized in profit or loss for the period.

-

A financial asset from the fair value through profit or loss measurement category to the amortized cost category: its fair value at the reclassification date becomes its new gross carrying amount.

-

A financial asset from the amortized cost measurement category to the fair value through other comprehensive income category: its fair value will be measured at the reclassification date. Any gain or loss arising from differences between the previous amortized cost of the financial asset and the fair value will be recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective interest rate and the measurement of expected credit losses will not be adjusted as a result of reclassification.

-

A financial asset from the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category to the amortized cost category, the financial asset will be reclassified at its fair value at the reclassification date. However, previously recognized accumulated gains or losses in other comprehensive income will be removed from equity and adjusted against the fair value of the financial asset at the reclassification date. As a result, the financial asset will be measured at the reclassification date as if it had always been measured at amortized cost. This adjustment affects other comprehensive income but not profit or loss for the period.

-

A financial asset from the fair value through profit or loss measurement category to the fair value through other comprehensive income category, the financial asset will continue to be measured at fair value.

-

A financial asset from the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category to the fair value through profit or loss category, the financial asset will continue to be measured at fair value. The previously recognized accumulated gain or loss in other comprehensive income will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss for the period.

 

g)

De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities -

 

Financial assets:

 

A financial instrument is any agreement that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

 

The Group determined the classification of its financial instruments at the time of initial recognition.

 

All financial instruments are initially recognized at their fair value plus the incremental costs related to the transaction that are directly attributable to the purchase or issuance of the instrument, except in the case of financial assets or liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of the assets within a period established in accordance with regulations or conventions in the market (regular market deadlines) are recognized at the negotiation date, that is, the date on which the Group undertakes to buy or sell the asset.

 

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group classified financial assets into one of the categories defined by IFRS 9: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, at fair value through other comprehensive income and at amortized cost based on:

 

-

The business model to manage financial assets and

-

The characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset

 

Business model -

 

It represents how financial assets are managed to generate cash flows and is not dependent on Management’s intention with respect to an individual instrument. Financial assets can be managed for the purpose of: i) obtaining contractual cash flows; ii) obtaining contractual cash flows and sale; or iii) others. To evaluate business models, the Group considers:

 

-

The risks that affect the performance of the business model and, in particular, the way in which these risks are managed.

-

How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within this business model are evaluated and reported to key Group management personnel.

 

If cash flows after initial recognition are realized differently from the Group’s expectations, the classification of the remaining financial assets held in this business model is not modified.

 

When the financial asset is maintained in business models i) and ii) the application of the only principal and interest payments test is required - “SPPI”.

 

SPPI Test (Principal and Interest Payment Only) –

 

Evaluation of the cash flows generated by a financial instrument in order to verify whether the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. To conform to this concept, cash flows should include only consideration of the time value of money and credit risk. If the contractual terms introduce exposure to cash flow risk or volatility, such as exposure to changes in equity instrument prices or commodity prices, the financial asset is classified at fair value with changes in results. Hybrid contracts should be evaluated as a whole, including all built-in features. The accounting of a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative is carried out jointly, that is, the entire instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

(i)

Financial assets at amortized cost –

 

A financial asset is classified at amortized cost if the following conditions are met:

 

-

It remains within a business model whose objective is to maintain the financial asset to obtain contractual cash flows, and

-

The contractual conditions give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

 

After initial recognition, financial assets in this category are valued at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less any credit loss provision. The amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium incurred in the acquisition and fees that constitute an integral part of the effective interest rate. Interest income is included in the “Interest and similar income” item in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Financial assets at amortized cost include direct credits that are recorded when the funds are disbursed to clients, and indirect credits (contingent) that are recorded when the documents that support said credit facilities are issued. Likewise, the Group considers as refinanced or restructured those loans that change their payment schedule due to difficulties in payment by the debtor.

 

 

The impairment loss is calculated using the expected loss approach and is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the item “Net gain on securities” for investments and in the item “Credit loss provision for loan portfolio” for credits.

 

The balance of financial assets, measured at amortized cost, is presented net of the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

(ii)

Financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income –

 

The financial assets that the Group maintains in this category are: a) investments in debt instruments, and b) investments in equity instruments, for non-trading purposes, irrevocably designated in the initial recognition.

 

Investments in debt instruments -

 

A financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when the following conditions are met:

 

-

The financial asset is maintained within a business model whose objective is achieved by obtaining contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and

-

The contractual conditions give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

 

After initial recognition, investments in debt instruments are measured at fair value, recording unrealized gains and losses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, net of the corresponding income tax and non-controlling interest, until the investment is sold; in which the accumulated gain or loss is recognized in the “Net gain on securities” item of the consolidated statement of income.

 

Interest is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the item “Interest and similar returns” and is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method.

 

When a debt instrument is designated in a fair value hedging relationship, any change in fair value due to changes in the hedged risk is recognized in “Interest and similar income” in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses related to the amortized cost of the debt instrument are recognized in the consolidated statement of income, and those related to differences between the amortized cost and the fair value are recognized as part of the unrealized gain or loss. in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

The estimated fair value of investments in debt instruments is determined primarily on the basis of quotes or, in the absence of these, on the basis of discounted cash flows using market rates consistent with the credit quality and maturity of the debt instruments. the investment.

 

The loss due to impairment of investments in debt instruments is calculated using the expected loss approach and is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income with a charge to the item “Net gain on securities” of the consolidated statement of income; In this sense, it does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position, which is maintained at its fair value. The impairment loss recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is recycled in the consolidated statement of income upon derecognition of the debt instrument.

 

 

Investments in equity instruments, for non-trading purposes, irrevocably designated at the initial moment (equity instruments designated at the initial moment) -

 

At the time of initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present equity instruments, which are not held for trading but for strategic purposes, in the category of “At fair value through other comprehensive income”.

 

After initial recognition, equity investments are measured at fair value, recording unrealized gains and losses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, net of the corresponding income tax and non-controlling interest, until the investment is sold, in which the accumulated gain or loss is transferred to the “Retained earnings” item of the consolidated statement of changes in equity; That is, they are never subsequently reclassified to the consolidated statement of income.

 

Consequently, capital instruments classified in this category do not require an impairment loss assessment.

 

Dividends are recognized when the right to collection has been established and are recorded in the “Interest and similar income” item in the consolidated statement of income.

 

(iii)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss –

 

Financial assets must be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless they are classified and measured at “Amortized cost” or “At fair value through other comprehensive income”.

 

The financial assets that the Group maintains in this category are: a) Investments in debt instruments, b) investments in equity instruments for trading purposes, c) financial assets designated at fair value with changes in results from the moment of their recognition. initial, and d) derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

Debt instruments -

 

Such instruments are classified in this category because: a) they are held for trading purposes, or b) their cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest.

 

After initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, recording the changes in the “Net gain on securities” item in the consolidated statement of income. The accrued interest is calculated using the contractual interest rate and is recorded in the “Interest and similar income” item in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Capital instruments -

 

Equity instruments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, unless an irrevocable election is made, at the time of initial recognition, to designate them at fair value through other comprehensive income.

 

After initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, recording the changes in the “Net gain on securities” item in the consolidated statement of income. Dividend income is recorded in the “Interest and similar income” item in the consolidated statement of income when the right to payment has been recognized.

 

Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss from the moment of initial recognition -

 

At the time of initial recognition, Management may irrevocably designate financial assets as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from the measurement of the assets or liabilities. or the recognition of their profits and losses on different bases.

 

 

After their initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, recording the changes in the consolidated statement of income.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group classified financial liabilities in their initial recognition as measured at amortized cost, except in the case of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These liabilities include derivatives that are measured at fair value.

 

The interest incurred is accrued in the “Interest and similar income” item in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Likewise, at the time of initial recognition, Management may irrevocably designate financial liabilities as measured at fair value through profit or loss when one of the following criteria is met:

 

-

A measurement inconsistency that would otherwise arise when using different criteria to measure assets or liabilities is eliminated or significantly reduced; either

-

They are part of a group of financial liabilities, which are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented investment or risk management strategy; either

-

The financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives that significantly modify the otherwise required cash flows.

 

(iv)

Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities –

 

The reclassification of financial assets will take place as long as the business model that manages financial assets changes. This change is expected to be very infrequent. These changes are determined by approval of the Group’s management as a result of external or internal changes, which must be significant for the Group’s operations and demonstrable to third parties. Financial liabilities are never reclassified.

 

When the Group changes its business model for the management of financial assets, it will reclassify all affected financial assets prospectively from the reclassification date. The Group will not restate previously recognized gains, losses or interest (including impairment gains or losses).

 

If the Group reclassifies:

 

-

A financial asset from the amortized cost measurement category to that of fair value through profit or loss: its fair value will be measured on the reclassification date. Any gain or loss that arises due to differences between the previous amortized cost of the financial asset and the fair value will be recognized in the profit or loss of the period.

 

-

A financial asset from the fair value through profit or loss measurement category to the amortized cost category: its fair value on the reclassification date becomes its new gross carrying amount.

 

-

A financial asset from the amortized cost measurement category to that of fair value with changes in other comprehensive income: its fair value will be measured on the reclassification date. Any gain or loss that arises due to differences between the previous amortized cost of the financial asset and the fair value will be recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective interest rate and the measure of expected credit losses will not be adjusted as a result of the reclassification.

 

 

-

A financial asset from the measurement category of fair value with changes in other comprehensive income to that of amortized cost, the financial asset will be reclassified at its fair value on the reclassification date. However, accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income will be eliminated from equity and adjusted against the fair value of the financial asset on the reclassification date. As a result, the financial asset will be measured on the reclassification date as if it had always been measured at amortized cost. This adjustment affects the other comprehensive income but not the result for the period.

 

-

A financial asset from the measurement category of fair value through profit or loss to fair value through other comprehensive income, the financial asset continues to be measured at fair value.

 

-

A financial asset from the measurement category of fair value through other comprehensive income to that of fair value through profit or loss, the financial asset continues to be measured at fair value.

 

-

The accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss for the period.

 

h)

Disposal of financial assets and liabilities –

 

Financial assets:

 

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a portion of a financial asset or a portion of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or (ii) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full immediately to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and the Group has also transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

 

When contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred, or a transfer agreement has been entered into, the Group assesses whether it has retained, and to what extent, the risks and benefits inherent in ownership of the asset. When the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and benefits inherent in ownership of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continued involvement with the asset.

 

In that case, the Group also recognizes the related liability. The transferred asset and related liability are measured in such a way as to reflect the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

 

Continued involvement in the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured as the lower of (i) the carrying amount of the asset, and (ii) the maximum consideration received that the Group would be required to repay.

 

Financial liabilities:

 

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation to pay is discharged, cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is exchanged for another from the same borrower under significantly different terms (fails the 10% test established in IFRS 9), or the terms are substantially modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a new liability is recognized, with the difference between the carrying amount of the initial financial liability and the consideration paid recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

 

i)

Offsetting financial instruments -

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset them and the Management intends to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

j)

Impairment of financial assets -

 

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Group applies a three-stage approach to measure the provision for credit losses, using an expected credit loss impairment model as set out in IFRS 9, for the following categories:

 

-

Financial assets at amortized cost.

-

Debt instruments classified as investments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

-

Indirect loans presented in contingent accounts.

 

Financial assets classified or designated at fair value through profit or loss and equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income are not subject to impairment assessment.

 

Financial assets migrate through three stages based on changes in credit risk from initial recognition.

 

Expected credit loss impairment model –

 

Calculations of credit losses result from models with a series of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. The expected credit loss impairment model reflects the present value of all cash shortfall events related to default events, either (i) over the following twelve months or (ii) over the expected life of a financial instrument depending on credit impairment from inception. Expected credit loss reflects a probability-weighted outcome considering a range of multiple outcomes based on reasonable and supported forecasts.

 

Provisions for credit losses will be measured at each reporting date following a three-stage expected credit loss model based on the degree of credit deterioration from inception:

 

-

Phase 1: Financial assets whose credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition will recognize a reserve for losses equivalent to the credit losses expected to occur from defaults in the next 12 months. For instruments with a maturity of less than 12 months, a default probability corresponding to the remaining term to maturity is used.

-

Phase 2: Financial assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk compared to initial recognition but are not considered impaired will recognize a loss reserve equivalent to the expected credit losses that are expected to occur during the remaining life of the asset.

-

Phase 3: Financial assets with credit impairment at the reporting date will recognize a loss reserve equivalent to the expected credit losses over the entire life of the asset. Interest income will be recognized based on the carrying amount of the asset, net of the credit loss provision.

 

Measurement of expected loss –

 

The measurement of expected credit loss is primarily based on the product of the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD), and the exposure at default (EAD), discounted to the reporting date and considering expected macroeconomic effects and all in accordance with the new regulations.

 

 

The details of these statistical parameters are as follows:

 

-

PD: It is an estimate of the probability of default over a specified time horizon. Default can only occur at a given point in time during the estimated remaining life, provided the financial asset has not been derecognized previously and still remains in the portfolio.

 

-

LGD: It is an estimate of the loss that occurs in the event of default at a given point in time. It is based on the difference between contractual cash flows owed and those the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the EAD.

 

-

EAD: It is an estimate of exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in exposure after the reporting date, including principal and interest repayments, either scheduled by contract or otherwise, and interest accrued for overdue payments.

 

The fundamental difference between credit loss considered in Phase 1 and Phase 2 is the PD horizon. Phase 1 estimates use a 12-month horizon, while those in Phase 2 use an expected loss calculated with the remaining term of the asset and consider the effect of significant risk increase. Finally, in Phase 3, the expected loss will be estimated based on the best estimate (“ELBE”), given the status of the collection process for each asset.

 

Changes from one phase to another –

 

The classification of an instrument as phase 1 or phase 2 depends on the concept of “significant increase in credit risk” on the reporting date compared to the origination date; in this sense, the definition used considers the following criteria:

 

-

If it is more than 30 days late.

 

-

If the probability of default (“PD”) at the reporting date exceeds the PD at the origination date by 50% (absolute thresholds) in all portfolios.

 

-

If the PD at the reporting date exceeds the PD at the origination date at an individualized level for each risk level and by portfolio (relative thresholds).

 

-

The follow-up, alert and monitoring systems for risk portfolios that depend on the current risk policy in Wholesale and Retail Banking are integrated.

 

Additionally, all accounts classified as defaults at the reporting date are considered Phase 3. Assessments of significant risk increase from initial recognition and credit impairment are independently conducted at each reporting date. Assets can move in both directions from one phase to another. Reference added: See further detail in note 30.1(c).

 

Prospective Information –

 

The measurement of expected credit losses for each phase and the assessment of significant increases in credit risk must consider information about past events and current conditions, as well as projections of future events and economic conditions. For estimating risk parameters (PD, LGD, EAD) used in calculating the provision in Phases 1 and 2, macroeconomic variables that differ between portfolios were included. These projections have a three-year period and, additionally, a long-term projection.

 

The estimation of expected loss for Phases 1, 2, and 3 will be a weighted estimate considering three future macroeconomic scenarios. Base, optimistic, and pessimistic scenarios are based on macroeconomic projections provided by the internal economic studies team and approved by Senior Management. This same team also provides the probability of occurrence of each scenario. It should be noted that the scenario design is adjusted at least once a year, possibly more frequently if environmental conditions require.

 

 

Macroeconomic Factors –

 

In its models, the Group relies on a wide range of prospective information as economic inputs, such as gross domestic product (GDP) growth, unemployment rates, central bank base rates, among others. The inputs and models used to calculate expected credit losses may not always capture all market characteristics at the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays may be made using expert judgment.

 

Expected Lifetime –

 

For instruments in Phase 2 or 3, loss reserves will cover expected credit losses during the instrument’s lifetime. For most instruments, the expected lifetime is limited to the remaining term of the product, adjusted for expected prepayments. For revolving products, an analysis was conducted to determine the expected lifetime period.

 

Presentation of Credit Loss Provision in the Statement of Financial Position –

 

-

Financial assets measured at amortized cost: as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of financial assets;

-

Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: no provision is recognized in the statement of financial position because the carrying amount of these assets is their fair value; however, the expected credit loss is presented in accumulated other comprehensive income;

-

Indirect credits: the provision for credit loss is presented under “Other liabilities” in the statement of financial position.

 

Renegotiated Credits –

 

When a credit is modified, it is not considered past due but maintains its previous classification as impaired or unimpaired. If the borrower complies with the new agreement for the next six months, and the analysis of their repayment capacity supports a new risk rating improvement, the credit is classified as unimpaired. If after the credit is modified, the borrower defaults on the new agreement, it is considered impaired and past due. See further detail in note 30.1(c).

 

k)

Business Combinations –

 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as set out in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, regardless of whether they are equity instruments or other acquired assets.

 

The cost of an acquisition is measured as the sum of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity. For each business combination, the Group decides whether the non-controlling interest in the acquired entity should be measured at fair value or at the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired entity. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses and included in the “Administrative expenses” line item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

 

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for proper classification and naming in accordance with contractual terms, economic circumstances, and conditions relevant at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of implicit derivatives in contracts entered into by the acquiree.

 

 

Any contingency transferred by the acquirer must be recognized at its fair value at the acquisition date. The contingency classified as a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9: “Financial Instruments” is measured at fair value through profit or loss or other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss or in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If the contingency is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

 

The acquisition of the non-controlling interest is recognized directly in equity; the difference between the amount paid and the net assets acquired is recognized as an equity transaction. Therefore, the Group does not recognize any additional goodwill after acquiring the non-controlling interest, nor does it recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the non-controlling interest.

 

If there is a contractual obligation to acquire the shares of the non-controlling interest through a put option, the Group will initially recognize a liability at fair value through profit or loss equivalent to the market value of the non-controlling interest against the “Reserves and others” account in equity. After initial recognition, the liability is measured at fair value, recording changes in the statement of profit or loss until the option is exercised. If the option expires without being exercised, the liability is derecognized, adjusting equity.

 

The equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position. Profit attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date and previous interest in the acquiree are remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date. Gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognized in profit for the period. Likewise, in accordance with IFRS 3, from the acquisition date of a company not under common control, the acquirer has a 12-month period to make adjustments to the initial recognition of goodwill.

 

Combinations of Entities under Common Control

 

A business combination between entities or businesses under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3, as it represents a business combination in which all entities or businesses being combined are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties, both before and after the business combination. In these transactions, the Group recognizes acquired assets under the pooling of interest method, whereby the assets and liabilities of the combined companies are reflected at their carrying values and no goodwill is recognized as a result of the combination.

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been presented considering the aforementioned.

 

l)

Intangibles –

 

They mainly comprise internal developments and acquisitions of software licenses used by the Group. Such intangibles are initially recognized at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life (between 3 and 5 years).

 

 

Intangible assets identified as a result of the acquisition of subsidiaries are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their estimated market value determined on the acquisition date and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, as follows:

 

		Estimated useful life in years
Client relationship - Prima AFP (AFP Unión Vida)		20.0
Client relationship – Credicorp Capital Holding Chile (Inversiones IMT)		22.0
Client relationship - Edyficar Peru		10.0
Client relationship - Ultraserfinco		9.2
Client relationship – Mibanco		7.0
Brand - Mibanco		25.0
Brand – Joinnus		20.0
Brand - Culqi		5.0
Fund manager contract - Credicorp Capital Colombia		20.0 and 28.0
Fund manager contract - Credicorp Capital Holding Chile (Inversiones IMT)		11.0 and 24.0
Fund manager contract - Ultraserfinco		23.0
Core deposits - Mibanco		6.0
Others		Between 2.0 and 7.5

 

The period and method of amortization of intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each period. If they differ from the expected useful life of previous estimates, the amortization period should be changed to reflect the change. If there is any change in the expected pattern of future economic benefits embodied in the asset, the amortization method should reflect these changes.

 

Gains or losses arising from the disposal of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net proceeds from the disposal of the asset and the carrying amount of that asset and are recognized in the consolidated statement of income on the date the asset is derecognized.

 

m)

Goodwill –

 

Goodwill is the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the fair value recognized for the acquisition of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred, the gain will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each cash-generating unit (CGU) of the Group that is expected to benefit from the business combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquired entity have been allocated to these units.

 

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the assets with which that unit operates is disposed of, the goodwill and the disposed assets are included in the transaction’s carrying amount when determining the loss or disposal. Under these circumstances, disposed goodwill is measured based on the relative value of the disposed assets and the portion of the retained cash-generating unit.

 

 

The impairment of goodwill is determined by evaluating the recoverable amount for each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

 

n)

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets –

 

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired in value. If there is any indication or when an annual impairment test of an asset is required, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of the asset or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined for each asset individually, unless the asset generates cash flows that are largely independent of those of other assets or group of assets.

 

When the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is reduced to its recoverable amount. When assessing the value in use, future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset. For the determination of fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions, if any, are taken into account. If such transactions cannot be identified, a valuation model that is appropriate is used. These calculations are verified against valuation multiples, stock quotes for subsidiaries listed on the stock exchange, and other available indicators of fair value.

 

For non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date of whether there are indications that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized.

 

The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation, as if no impairment had been recognized in previous years. Such reversal is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

 

o)

Bank Acceptances –

 

Customer debt for acceptances corresponds to accounts payable by customers for import and export transactions, the obligations of which have been accepted by the Group. Obligations to be assumed by the Group are recorded as liabilities.

 

p)

Financial Guarantees -

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Group provides financial guarantees, such as letters of credit, guarantees, and bank acceptances. Financial guarantees are initially measured at fair value, which is equivalent to the initial consideration received; likewise, letters of credit and guarantees are recorded in the “Other Liabilities” line item of the consolidated statement of financial position and bank acceptances are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liability for each guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount recognized initially, less the accumulated amortization recognized in the consolidated statement of income, and the best estimate of the expense required to settle any obligation arising from the financial guarantee.

 

 

Any increase in the liability related to a financial guarantee is included in the consolidated statement of income. The consideration received is recognized in the “Commissions and Fees” line item of the consolidated statement of income, based on its straight-line amortization over the term of the granted financial guarantee.

 

q)

Provisions –

 

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that resources will be required to settle that obligation, and the amount can be determined in a reliable manner.

 

The expense related to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the specific risks of the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision over time is recognized as a financial cost.

 

r)

Contingencies –

 

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These are disclosed in notes unless the possibility of a payout is remote. Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements; these are disclosed if it is probable that an inflow of economic benefits will occur.

 

s)

Income Tax –

 

Income tax is calculated based on the individual financial statements of each Group entity.

 

Deferred income tax reflects the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and those determined for tax purposes. Deferred assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The measurement of deferred assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences derived from how Credicorp and its Subsidiaries expect to recover or settle the value of their assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities may change, even when the amount of temporary differences has not changed, due to a change in the income tax rate. The effect of the change in deferred tax, corresponding to the rate change, will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the period, except for items previously recognized outside the consolidated statement of income (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity).

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of the time it is estimated that temporary differences are offset. Deferred assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax benefits for the temporary difference to be applied. At the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, Credicorp and its Subsidiaries assess unrecognized deferred assets and the balance of recognized ones.

 

Credicorp and its Subsidiaries determine their deferred tax based on the tax rate applicable to their undistributed profits, recognizing any additional tax for dividend distribution on the date the liability is recognized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal right to offset them and the deferred taxes are related to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.

 

 

t)

Earnings for Share –

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to Credicorp shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding common shares purchased and held as treasury shares.

 

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to Credicorp shareholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding common shares purchased and held as treasury shares, plus the weighted average of common shares that would have been issued if all potential dilutive common shares had been converted into common shares.

 

u)

Derivative Financial Instruments and Accounting Hedging –

 

Negotiable –

 

The Group trades derivative financial instruments to meet the needs of its clients. The Group may also take positions with the expectation of to benefit from favorable movements in prices, rates, or indices.

 

Part of the derivative transactions that provide effective economic hedges under the Group’s risk management positions do not qualify as hedges under the specific rules of IFRS 9 and are therefore treated as derivatives for trading purposes.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value. Fair values ​​are obtained based on market exchange rates and interest rates. All derivatives are considered assets when fair value is positive and liabilities when fair value is negative. Gains and losses from changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Hedging -

 

The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rates and foreign currency. In order to manage specific risks, the Group applies hedge accounting for transactions that meet the specific criteria for it.

 

According to IFRS 9, to qualify as hedging transactions, all the following conditions must be met:

 

-

The hedging relationship consists only of hedging instruments and eligible hedged items.

 

-

At the beginning of the hedging relationship, there is a formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy to undertake the hedge. This documentation will include the identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the entity will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.

 

The hedging relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements:

 

-

There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

 

 

-

The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that come from this economic relationship.

-

The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that arising from the amount of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the amount of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that amount of the hedged item.

 

The accounting treatment is established according to the nature of the hedged item and the fulfillment of the hedging criteria.

 

(i) Cash flow hedges -

 

The effective portion of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly in other comprehensive income in the “Cash flow hedge reserve” line of the consolidated statement of changes in equity, and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects results; that is, when the income or financial expenses related to the hedge are recorded, or when an anticipated transaction occurs.

 

The part of the gain or loss on derivatives that represents the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Amounts originally recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to the consolidated statement of income are recorded in the corresponding expense or income lines in which the hedged item is reported.

 

If the anticipated transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss in the cash flow hedge reserve is transferred to the consolidated statement of income. If the derivative expires or is sold, settled, or exercised without replacement or renewal, or if its designation as a hedge has been revoked, any unrealized gain or loss accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in that reserve until the anticipated transaction or firm commitment affects results. At the same time, the derivative is recognized as a tradable derivative financial instrument.

 

(ii) Fair value hedges -

 

The change in the fair value of a fair value hedge and the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recorded by affecting the book value of the hedged item and are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 

For fair value hedges related to items recorded at amortized cost, any adjustment to the book value of such items as a result of hedge discontinuation will be amortized through the consolidated statement of income over the remaining term of the hedge. Amortization at the effective interest rate may begin as soon as an adjustment occurs, but no later than when the hedged item is no longer adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the hedged risk.

 

If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income.

 

If a hedging instrument expires, is sold, settled, or exercised, or if its designation as a hedge no longer meets the criteria to be recorded as such, the hedging relationship is terminated. For fair value hedges related to items recorded at amortized cost, the difference between the fair value and the book value of the hedged item at the end and the face value is amortized over the remaining term of the initial hedge, using the effective interest rate. If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income. At the same time, the derivative is recognized as a tradable derivative financial instrument.

 

 

(iii) Foreign currency net investment hedges -

 

Foreign currency net investment hedges are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.

 

Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument related to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the “Translation of operations abroad” line of the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income within “Other income” or “Other expenses”.

 

Accumulated gains and losses in the consolidated statement of changes in equity are reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the net investment abroad is disposed of or partially sold.

 

(iv) Implicit derivatives -

 

Implicit derivatives in a principal (or host) contract are treated as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the principal contract and such principal contract is not held for trading or measured at fair value with effect on income.

 

The Group has investments indexed to certain liabilities from life insurance contracts, called “Investment Link”. These instruments have been classified by the Group since their initial recognition as “Financial instruments at fair value with changes in income”.

 

v)

Fair value measurement -

 

Fair value is the price that would be received for selling an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place, either:

 

-

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

-

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

The principal or most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. Also, the fair value of a liability reflects its default risk.

 

When available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is considered active if transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on a continuous basis.

 

If there is no quoted price in an active market, the Group uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of relevant observable data and minimize the use of unobservable data.

 

 

The valuation technique chosen incorporates all factors that market participants would consider when setting the price of a transaction.

 

All assets and liabilities for which fair values are determined or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are classified within the fair value hierarchy, described below, based on the lowest level of data used that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

 

-

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

-

Level 2: Valuation techniques by which the lowest level of information that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

-

Level 3: Valuation techniques by which the lowest level of information that is significant to the fair value measurement is not observable.

 

The Group determines for assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, whether transfers occurred between different levels within the hierarchy by reviewing the categorization at the end of each reporting period.

 

For fair value disclosure purposes, the Group has determined the classes of assets and liabilities based on the nature, characteristics, and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

 

Also, the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost is disclosed in note 30.11(b).

 

w)

Segment information -

 

The Group reports financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specific criteria.

 

Operating segments are a component of an entity for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated periodically by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) related to the allocation of resources and performance evaluation. The Group discloses the same financial information that is used internally to assess the performance of operating segments and decide how to allocate resources to segments, note 27.

 

x)

Fiduciary activities, fund management, and pension funds -

 

The Group provides custody, administration, investment management, and advisory services to third parties that result in holding or lending assets on their behalf. These assets and the results on them are excluded from the consolidated financial statements, as they are not Group assets, note 30.12.

 

Commissions generated by this activity are included in the “Commissions and fees” line of the consolidated statement of income.

 

y)

Cash and cash equivalents -

 

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents correspond to cash balances, funds deposited with central banks, “overnight” deposits, interbank funds, and deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date, excluding restricted funds, see note 4(a).

 

 

Guarantee funds committed as part of a repurchase agreement are presented in the “Guarantee funds, repurchase agreements, and financing with securities” line of the consolidated statement of financial position, see note 5(a).

 

Guarantee funds committed in trading of derivative financial instruments are presented in the “Other assets” line of the consolidated statement of financial position, see note 12(c).

 

Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not cash flows. However, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents held or due in a foreign currency is reported in the statement of cash flows in order to reconcile cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and the end of the period. This amount is presented separately from cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and includes the differences, if any, had those cash flows been reported at end of period exchange rates.

 

z)

Repurchase and resale agreements and loans and financing with securities -

 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase on a specific future date are not derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position because the Group retains substantially all risks and benefits inherent in ownership. The cash received is recorded as an asset in the “Available funds” line, and the corresponding obligation to return it, including accrued interest, is recorded as a liability in the “Accounts payable for repurchase agreements and securities loans” line, reflecting the economic substance of the operation as a loan received by the Group. The difference between the selling price and the repurchase price is accrued during the contract term using the effective interest rate method and is recorded in the “Interest and similar expenses” line of the consolidated statement of income.

 

As part of this transaction, the Group delivers assets as collateral. When the counterparty receives securities and has the right to sell them or re-deliver them as collateral, the Group reclassifies these securities to the “Investments at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income under collateral” or “Investments at amortized cost under collateral” lines, as appropriate, in the consolidated statement of financial position. When the counterparty receives guarantee funds that will be restricted until the contract maturity, the Group reclassifies such cash to the “Guarantee funds, repurchase agreements, and financing with securities” line of the consolidated statement of financial position. When the counterparty receives credit portfolios as collateral, the Group maintains these credits in the “Credit portfolio, net” line in the statement of financial position, the control of which is kept in off-balance sheet accounts.

 

On the other hand, securities purchased under agreements to resell on a specific future date are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position. The cash granted is recorded as an outflow of an asset from the “Available funds” line, and the corresponding right to collect it, including accrued interest, is recorded in the “Guarantee funds, repurchase agreements, and financing with securities” line, reflecting the economic substance of the operation as a loan granted by the Group. The difference between the purchase price and the resale price is accrued during the contract term using the effective interest rate method and is recorded in the “Interest and similar income” line of the consolidated statement of income.

 

If securities purchased under a resale agreement are subsequently sold to third parties, the obligation to return the securities is recorded as a short sale in the “Financial liabilities at fair value with changes in income” line of the consolidated statement of financial position, and is measured at fair value, recording gains or losses in the “Net gain on securities” line of the consolidated statement of income.

 

 

Loans and financing are usually secured by securities. The transfer of securities to counterparties is only reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position if the risks and benefits inherent in ownership are also transferred.

 

aa)

International Financial Reporting Standards issued, but not yet effective -

 

The Group decided not to early adopt the following standards and interpretations that were issued but are not yet effective as of December 31, 2023.

 

Modifications to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

 

In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify the following points:

 

-

The meaning of the right to defer settlement of a liability.

-

That the right to defer settlement of the liability must exist at the end of the period.

-

That classification is not affected by the probability that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability.

-

That only if any implicit derivative in a convertible liability represents an equity instrument in itself, the terms of the liability would not affect its classification.

 

In addition, a disclosure requirement was introduced when a liability derived from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is subject to the fulfillment of future commitments within a period included in a twelve-month period.

 

The amendments will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and must be applied retrospectively. The Group is assessing the impact these amendments will have on its current practices.

 

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

 

Supplier Financing Agreements - Modifications to IAS 7 and IFRS 7

 

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the characteristics of supplier financing arrangements and require additional information about such arrangements to be disclosed. The objective of the disclosure requirements imposed by the amendments is to help users of financial statements have a better understanding of the effects of supplier financing arrangements on liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. of an entity.

 

The amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed.

 

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

 

There are no other standards and amendments to standards that have not yet come into force and that are expected to have a significant impact on the Group, either in the current or future period, as well as in foreseeable future transactions.

(*)       Throug Repo Operations, BCP and MiBanco sell representing credit securities guaranteed by the BCRP, they receive soles and are obliged to buy them back at a later date. The credit representing securities with guarantee of the National Government may have the form of a portfolio of credit representing titles or of Certificates of Participation in trustee of the loan portfolio guaranteed by the National Government (Reactiva Especial). The BCRP will charge a fixed interest annual rate in soles of 0.50 percent for the operation and will include a grace period of twelve months without payment of interest or principal. As of December 31, 2023, the total credits granted through the Reactiva Peru program are S/2,877.2 million (S/8,877.2 million, as of December 31, 2022), see Note 7(a).

The variation in the fair value of the investments is mainly due to the decrease in interest rates in soles and in foreign currency, which positively affected the investment portfolios at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2023. Credicorp’s management has determined that the unrealized losses of investments at fair value through other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are of a temporal nature; considering factors such as the planned strategy in relation to the security or portfolio identified, the related guarantee and the credit rating of the issuers. During 2023, as a result of the evaluation of the impairment loss of investments at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income, the Group has recorded a provision for credit loss of S/4.3 million (provision for credit loss of S/58.3 million ended December 31, 2022), which is presented in the caption “Net gain in securities”, see note 21 of the consolidated statement of income.

(*) The movement includes the following effects:

 

(i)

calibrations to the PD, LGD and EAD models;

(ii)

updating of macroeconomic models and projections;

(iii)

increase or decrease in credit risk due to phase changes;

(iv)

increase or decrease in the credit risk inherent to the loans that remain in the same phase.

 

(**)  The movement of the credit loss provision for the 2023 period includes the provision for direct and indirect credits and bank acceptances for approximately S/8,277.9 million y S/368.0 million, respectively (S/7,872.4 million and S/658.6 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2022). The expected loss for indirect credits is included in the “Other liabilities” caption of the consolidated statement of financial position, note 12(a).

 

In Management’s opinion, the credit loss provision for loans recorded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, has been determined in accordance with IFRS 9 and is sufficient to cover losses in the loan portfolio.

 

Gross balance of the portfolio of direct and indirect loans and bank acceptances:

 

As of December 31, 2023, the gross balance of the loan portfolio decreased compared to the end of December 2022. The decrease was mainly due to:

 

(i)

the amortization of Reactiva Perú loans within BCP’s commercial credit portfolio,

(ii)

the write-offs of consumer loans from BCP and loans to small and micro businesses from Mibanco Perú and BCP,

(iii)

to a lesser extent, the fall in the PEN/USD exchange rate.

 

The above effects were partially offset, among other things, by the disbursements of general loans from BCP and loans to small and micro businesses from Mibanco Perú.

 

Credit loss provision for direct and indirect credits and bank acceptances:

 

As of December 31, 2023, the credit loss provision of the loan portfolio increased compared to the end of December 2022. This growth was mainly due to:

 

(i)

the deterioration of BCP’s consumer loan portfolio, which was reflected in the migrations to stage 3, and which was generated, among other things, by greater client leverage within a macroeconomic context of high inflation,

(ii)

the migration to stage 3 of loans to small and micro businesses from Mibanco Perú,

(iii)

the record of the expected impact of the El Niño Phenomenon on provisions.

 

The above effects were partially offset, among other things, by the payments, recoveries and improvement in the credit profile of specific companies of BCP’s Wholesale Banking, and, in addition, by the write-offs of BCP and Mibanco Perú.

 

Comments on the calibrations carried out on the internal credit risk models are found in greater detail in note 30.1(c).

 

d)

Interest rates on loans are set considering the rates prevailing in the markets where the Group’s subsidiaries operate.

 

e)

A portion of the loan portfolio is collateralized with guarantees received from customers, which mainly consist of mortgages, trust assignments, securities and industrial and mercantile pledges.

 

f)

The following table presents the gross direct loan portfolio as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 by maturity based on the remaining period to the payment due date:

The recoverable amount of all of the CGUs has been determined based in the present value of the discounted cash flows or dividends determined principally with assumptions of revenue and expenses projection (based on efficiency ratios).

 

Goodwill balance of Credicorp Capital Colombia S.A, Mibanco Colombia, Tenpo SPA and Tenpo Technologie SpA. are affected by the volatility effect of the local exchange rate currency of the country in which they operate against the exchange rate of functional currency of Credicorp Ltd. and subsidiaries.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Group recorded an impairment of MiBanco Colombia (formerly Bancompartir S.A) for $75,199 million Colombian peso equivalent S/64.1 million and S/7.8 million of minority interest. To determine this impairment, a fair value of $438,259 million Colombian peso, equivalent to US$113.2 million, and a book value of $513,458 million Colombian peso, equivalent to US$132.5 million, were estimated. For the estimation, a discount rate of 15.1 percent and a perpetual growth rate of 6.8 percent were used as assumptions. During 2022, no impairment losses were recorded.

 

 

The following table summarizes the key assumptions used for the calculation of fair value less selling costs in 2023 and 2022:

 

		2023
Description		Terminal value growth rate		Discount rate
		%		%
Mibanco - Edyficar Perú		5.60		13.10

(*)

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, it corresponds to the discount rates used to determine the recoverable value of the cash flows that correspond to the general and life insurance business lines.

 

Cash flows of 5 to 10 years were included, depending on the maturity of the business in the discounted cash flow model. Estimated growth rates are based on historical performance and Management’s expectations regarding market development. A long-term growth rate in perpetuity has been determined considering account forecasts included in industry reports.

 

Discount rates represent the assessment of the specific risks of the CGU. The discount rate originates from the financial asset pricing model (MVAF). The cost of capital is derived from the benefits that the Group’s investors expect to obtain, the specific risk incorporated by applying comparable individual beta factors adjusted to the debt structure of each CGU and the specific country and market risk premiums for each CGU. Beta factors are evaluated annually based on available market information.

 

 

As a result of the evaluation carried out on the goodwill, a deterioration in the goodwill of Mibanco Colombia was recognized, which is explained by a combination of lower projected flows and higher contributions in 2023 and 2024, partially offset by a lower discount rate. The macroeconomic context has had a relevant impact on business results. The higher rates have put downward pressure on the intermediation margin due to a higher cost of funding and the difficulty of transferring this increase to active rates. Additionally, the portfolio has deteriorated in a context of low economic growth and high inflation rates; mainly due to the greater transfer of credits to Stage 2 and Stage 3. It is expected that these impacts on margin and provisions will be controlled in the medium term.

 

The key assumptions described above may change if market and economic conditions change. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Group estimates that the reasonableness of these possible changes in these assumptions would not cause the recoverable amount of all CGUs to decrease below their book value.

(ii)

The Group is exposed to variability in future cash flows on assets and liabilities in foreign currency and/or those that bear interest at variable rates. The Group uses derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges to cover these risks.

 

A schedule indicating the periods when the current cash flow hedges are expected to occur and affect the consolidated statement of income, net of deferred income tax is presented below:

 

		2023										2022
		Up to 1		From 1 to 3		From 3 to 5		Over 5				Up to 1		From 1 to 3		From 3 to 5		Over 5

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the market value of the properties amounts to approximately S/1,235.2 million and S/1,206.5 million, respectively; which was determined through a valuation made by an independent appraiser.

The movement of the provision for sundry risks for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

 

		2023		2022		2021
		S/(000)		S/(000)		S/(000)
Balance at the beginning of the year		624,149		614,012		514,382
Provision, note 25		95,873		43,846		70,824

Balances at the end of the year		661,737		624,149		614,012

 

Because of the nature of its business, the Group has various pending lawsuits, which provisions are recorded when, in Management’s and its in-house legal advisors opinion, it is likely that these may result in an additional liability and such amount can be reliably estimated. Regarding lawsuits against the Group which have not been recorded as a provision, in Management’s and its in-house legal advisors opinion, they will not result in an additional liability other than those recorded previously and they will not have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

f)

Regulatory capital -

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the regulatory capital requirement (“patrimonio efectivo” in Perú) applicable to Credicorp subsidiaries engaged in financial services and insurance activities in Perú, determined under the provisions of the Peruvian banking and insurance regulator, SBS, totals approximately S/33,452.6 million and S/31,754.6 million, respectively. At those dates, the Group’s regulatory requirement exceeds by approximately S/7,731.9 million and S/8,157 million, respectively, the minimum regulatory capital required by the SBS.

TAX SITUATION

 

a)

Credicorp is not subject to income tax, wealth tax, capital gains tax or property tax in Bermuda.

 

Credicorp’s Peruvian subsidiaries are subject to the Peruvian tax regime.

 

The Peruvian corporate income tax rate at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was 29.5 percent of taxable income after calculating workers’ participation, which is determined using a rate of 5.0 percent.

 

The corporate income tax rate in Bolivia is 25.0 percent as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Bolivian financial entities are subject to an additional rate to the extent that the ROE exceeds 6.0 percent; in that case, they must consider an additional rate of 25.0 percent, which would bring the rate to 50.0 percent. As of 2021, the aforementioned additional rate is also applicable to brokerage firms, mutual fund management companies and insurance companies.

 

In the case of Chile, the tax legislation changed in 2020, establishing two new regimes currently in force: the general regime and the Pro-Pyme regime, the latter applicable to smaller companies. Credicorp Capital Holding Chile, as well as all its subsidiaries, are taxed under the general regime, whose corporate income tax rate for domiciled legal entities remains at 27.0 percent as of December 31, 2023.

 

Individuals or legal entities not domiciled in Chile will be subject to an additional tax at rates between 4.0 percent and 35.0 percent, depending on the nature of the income.

 

In Colombia, according to Law No.2277 of 2021 issued on December 13, 2022, the general income tax rate for the year 2023 is 35.0 percent and for financial institutions an additional 5.0 percent is added for the taxable years 2023 to 2027, totaling a general income tax rate of 40.0 percent (for the taxable year 2022 3.0 percentage points were added to the general tax rate, totaling an income tax rate of 38.0 percent).

 

The additional rate of 5.0 percent will be applicable only to financial institutions that in the corresponding taxable year have a taxable income equal to or greater than 120,000 Unidad de Valor Tributario (“UVT”), which as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is equivalent to a total of S/4.4 million and S/3.6 million respectively. In this sense, Credicorp Capital Colombia, Credicorp Capital Fiduciaria and Mibanco Colombia must pay income tax taking into account the above.

 

Additionally, in case of receiving occasional profits, listed and established by the National Government in the Tax Statute and which are not subject to income tax, a differential rate of 10.0 percent must be applied on the net profit and the associated expenses respectively.

 

In fiscal year 2021, the Colombian Tax Reform Law repealed, as from fiscal year 2022, the rule that allowed taking 100.0 percent of the industry and commerce tax as a tax discount of the income tax, notices and boards. Therefore, in fiscal year 2023 only 50.0 percent of the industry and commerce tax, signs and boards may be taken as tax discount.

 

The deadlines for the finality of the income and complementary tax return for the taxable periods 2022 and 2023 are established as follows:

 

Increase in net income tax compared to the previous year	Firmness of the declaration
35 percent	6 months
25 percent	12 months

 

 

The reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective tax rate for the Group is as follows:

 

		2023				2022				2021
		In millions		%		In millions		%		In millions		%
Theoretical tax and income tax rate in Perú		(2,040.9)		(29.50)		(2,022.5)		(29.50)		(1,573.2)		(29.50)

d)

The Peruvian Tax Authority has the right to review and, if necessary, amend the annual income tax returns filed by Peruvian subsidiaries up to four years after their filing date. Income tax returns of the major subsidiaries open for examination by the tax authorities are as follows:

 

Banco de Crédito del Perú S.A.	2016, 2017, 2020 to 2023
Mibanco	2018, 2021 to 2023
Pacífico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros	2018 to 2023
Credicorp Capital Servicios Financieros	2018 to 2023
Credicorp Capital Perú	2018 to 2023
Credicorp Capital Holding Perú S.A.A.	2018 to 2023
Grupo Credito	2018 to 2023

  

It is worth mentioning that the Tax Authority is auditing the sworn declaration of:  

Banco de Crédito del Perú	2019
Mibanco	2021
Grupo Crédito	2017

 

 

 

The Bolivian, Chilean and Colombian Tax Authorities have the power to review and, if applicable, make a new determination for the income tax the subsidiaries to Credicorp located in said countries, upon presentation of their Income Tax declarations. Additionally, in the case of Colombia, a period of 6 years was established for the taxpayers obliged to apply Transfer Prices or taxpayers who report tax losses. The annual income tax declarations pending examination by the overseas tax authorities are the following:

 

Banco de Crédito de Bolivia	2015 to 2023
Credicorp Capital Colombia	2017 to 2023
Mibanco Colombia	2019 to 2023

   

Since tax regulations are subject to interpretation by the different Tax Authorities where Credicorp’s subsidiaries are located, it is not possible to determine at the present date whether any significant additional liabilities may arise from any eventual tax examinations of the Credicorp’s subsidiaries. Any resulting unpaid taxes, tax penalties or interest that may arise will be recognized as expenses in the year in which they are determined. However, Management of Credicorp and its Subsidiaries and their legal counsel consider that any additional tax assessments would not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

e)

International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules – Amendments to IAS 12

 

The amendments to IAS 12 have been introduced in response to the OECD’s BEPS Pillar Two rules and include:

 

i)

A mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules; and

 

ii)

Disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date.

 

These modifications to IAS 12 came into force on January 1, 2023, and have not had an impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements, to the extent that Pillar Two legislation is not in force at the date of presentation of these annual accounts.

 

The Group has applied the mandatory exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from Pillar Two income taxes.

 

At the date of this report, the corresponding legislation is still pending and there is no certainty, to date or whether such legislation will be enacted and, if applicable, what the effective date of the resulting legislation will be.

 

In 2023, the Group is in the process of evaluating its exposure to the Pillar Two legislation.

 

Furthermore, the Group based on the analysis carried out, at the end of the 2023 financial year the Group does not anticipate substantial economic impacts resulting from the Additional Tax that would arise as a consequence of the application of Pillar Two.

CONTINGENT RISKS AND COMMITMENTS

 

a)

This item consists of the following:

 

		2023		2022
		S/(000)		S/(000)
Contingent credits – indirect loans (b)
Endorsements and standby letters		17,737,645		18,244,865

Sub-total, Note 7(b)		20,051,615		20,928,055
Responsibilities under credit line agreements (c)		87,091,701		86,597,041
Total		107,143,316		107,525,096

 

The reference values of transactions with derivative financial instruments are recorded in accounts outside the statement of financial position in the committed currency, as presented in note 12(c).

 

b)

In the normal course of their business, the Group’s banking subsidiaries are party to transactions with off-balance sheet risk. These transactions expose them to credit risk in addition to the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Credit risk for contingent credits is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because one of the parties to a financial instrument fails to comply with the terms of the contract. The risk of credit losses is represented by the contractual amounts specified in the related contracts. The Group applies the same credit policies in making contingent commitments and other obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments (Note 7(a)), including the requirement to obtain collateral when it is deemed necessary.

 

Collateral held varies, but may include deposits in financial institutions, securities or other assets. Many of the contingent transactions reach maturity without any performance being required; therefore, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

c)

Lines of credit include consumer loans and other consumer loan facilities (credit card receivables) granted to customers and are cancelable upon related notice to the customer.

The operating results of the Group’s new business lines are monitored separately by the Board of Directors and Senior Management on a monthly basis, in order to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources and the evaluation of the performance of each one of the segments.

The transfer prices used for determining income and expenses generated among the operating segments are similar to the prices that would be applicable to transactions carried out at arm’s length.

Core metrics are intended to preserve the organization’s strategic pillars, defined as solvency, liquidity, profit and growth, income stability and balance sheet structure and cybersecurity risks.

 

Specific metrics objectives are intended to monitor on a qualitative and quantitative basis the various risks, to which the Group is exposed, as well as defining a tolerance threshold of each of those risks, so the risk profile set by the Board is preserved and any risk focus is anticipated on a more granular basis.

 

Risk appetite is instrumented through the following elements:

 

	-	Risk appetite statement: Establishes explicit general principles and the qualitative declarations
		which complement the risk strategy.
	-	Metrics scorecards: These are used to define the levels of risk exposure in the different
		strategic pillars.
	-	Limits: Allows control over the risk-taking process within the tolerance threshold established by
		the Board. They also provide accountability for the risk-taking process and define guidelines
		regarding the target risk profile.
	-	Government scheme: Seeks to guarantee compliance of the framework through different roles
		and responsibilities assigned to the units involved.

Risk concentration -

 

Concentrations arise when a reduced and representative number of all of the counterparties of the Group are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic and political conditions among others.

 

In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the policies and procedures include specific guidelines and limits to guarantee a diversified portfolio.

 

30.1

Credit risk -

 

a)

The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the probability of suffering losses caused by debtors or counterparties failing to comply with payment obligations in on or off the balance sheet exposures.

 

Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group’s business; therefore, Management carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally from lending activities that lead to direct loans; they also result from investment activities. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as contingent credits (indirect loans), which expose Credicorp to risks similar to direct loans. Likewise, credit risk arises from derivative financial instruments that present showing positive fair values. Finally, all exposure to credit risk (direct or indirect) is mitigated by the control processes and policies.

 

As part of managing this type of risk, provisions for impairment of its portfolio are assigned as of the date of the statement of financial position.

 

Credit risk levels are defined based on risk exposure limits, which are frequently monitored. Said limits are established in relation to one borrower or group of borrowers, geographical and industry segments. Furthermore, the risk limits by product, industry sector and by geographical segment are approved by the Risk Committee of Credicorp.

 

Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of debtors and potential debtors to meet interest and principal repayment obligations and by changing the credit limits when it is appropriate. Other specific control measures are outlined below:

 

(i)

Collateral -

 

The Group employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is collateralization which is common practice. The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The main types of collateral obtained are as follows:

 

-

For loans and advances, collateral includes, among others, mortgages on residential properties; liens on business assets such as plants, inventory and accounts receivable; and liens on financial instruments such as debt securities and equity securities.

 

-

For repurchase agreements and securities lending, collateral consists of fixed income instruments, cash and loans.

 

-

Long term loans and financing to corporate entities are generally guaranteed. Loans to micro business generally have no collateral. In order to minimize credit loss, the Group will seek additional collateral from the counterparty as soon as impairment indicators arise.

 

Collateral held as security for financial assets other than loans is determined by the nature of the instrument. Debt securities, treasury and other eligible bills are generally unsecured, with the exception of assets backed securities and similar instruments, which are secured by portfolios of financial instruments.

 

Management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement, and monitors the market value of collateral obtained during its review of the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. As part of the Group’s policies, the recovered assets are sold in seniority order. The proceeds of the sale are used to reduce or amortize the outstanding debt. In general, the Group doesn’t use recovered assets for its operational purposes.

 

(ii)

Derivatives -

 

The amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current and potential fair value of instruments that are favorable to the Group (fair value is positive). In the case of derivatives this is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional values used to express the volume of instruments outstanding. This credit risk exposure is managed as a portion of the total credit limits with customers, together with potential exposures from market movements.

 

(iii)

Credit-related commitments -

 

The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and letters of credit have the same credit risk as direct loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit - which are written undertakings by the Group on behalf of a customer authorizing a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions - are collateralized by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore have less risk than a direct loan. The Group has no mandatory commitments to extend credit.

 

b)

The maximum exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, before the effect of mitigation through any collateral, is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets indicated in Notes 30.11(a), 30.11(b) and the contingent credits detailed in Note 18(a).

 

c)

Credit risk management for loans -

 

Credit risk management is mainly based on the rating and scoring internal models of each company of the Group. In Credicorp, quantitative and qualitative analysis are made for each client, regarding their financial position, credit behavior in the financial system and the market in which they operate or are located. This analysis is carried out continuously to characterize the risk profile of each operation and client with a loan position in the Group.

 

In the Group, a loan is internally classified as past due according to three criteria: the number of days past due based on the contractually agreed due date, the subsidiary and the type of loan. The detail is shown below:

 

-

Banco de Crédito del Perú, Mibanco y Solución Empresa Administradora Hipotecaria internally classify a loan as past due

 

-

For corporate, large and medium companies, when it has more than 15 days in arrears.

-

For small and microbusiness when it has more than 30 days in arrears.

-

For overdrafts when it has more than 30 days in arrears.

-

For consumer, mortgage and leasing operations, installments are internally classified as past due when they are between 30 and 90 days in arrears; after 90 days, the pending loan balance is considered past due.

 

-

Mibanco Colombia internally classifies a loan as past due:

 

-

For commercial loans when it has more than 90 days in arrears.

-

For microbusiness loans when it has more than 60 days in arrears.

-

For consumer loans when it has more than 60 days in arrears.

-

For mortgage loans when it has more than 30 days in arrears.

 

 

-

ASB Bank Corp. internally classifies a loan as past due when it has 1 or more days in arrears.

 

-

Banco de Crédito de Bolivia internally classifies a loan as past due when it has 30 or more days in arrears.

 

Estimate of the expected credit loss -

 

The measurement of the expected credit loss is based on the product of the following risk parameters: (i) probability of default (PD), (ii) loss given default (LGD), and (iii) exposure at default (EAD); discounted at the reporting date using the effective interest rate. The definition of the parameters is presented below:

Probability of default (PD): is a credit rating measure that is given internally to a client with the objective of estimating its probability of default within a specific time horizon. The process of obtaining the PD is carried out considering three main components: (i) the risk observed at the portfolio level, (ii) the macroeconomic perspectives of the main countries where Credicorp operates and (iii) the individual risk of each loan, which It is measured through rating and scoring tools.

 

The Group considers that a financial instrument is in default if it meets the following conditions, according to the type of asset:

 

-

Consumer products, credit card and SME: if the client, at some certain point, presents arrears equal to or greater than 60 days and/or has operations that are refinanced, restructured, in pre-judicial, judicial proceedings or written off.

 

-

Mortgage products: if the client, at some certain point, presents arrears equal to or greater than 120 days and/or has operations that are refinanced, restructured, in pre-judicial, judicial proceedings or written off.

 

-

Commercial banking: if the client, at some certain point, is in the Collections portfolio, or has a risk classification of Deficient, Doubtful or Loss, or has operations that are refinanced, in pre-judicial, judicial proceedings or written off. Also, a client can be considered as default if it shows signs of significant qualitative impairment. It should be noted that, for commercial clients with the highest loan position that are classified in default, the Risk Management performs an individual review to determine the expected credit loss in each case, in which it considers: (i) knowledge of the specific situation of the client, (ii) the coverage of real guarantees, (iii) the financial information available of the company, (iv) the conditions of the sector in which the company operates, (v) among others.

 

-

Investments: if the instrument has a default rating according to external rating agencies such as Fitch, Standard & Poors or Moody’s, or if it has an indicator of arrears equal to or greater than 90 days. In addition, an issuer can be considered as default if it shows signs of significant qualitative impairment. When an issuer is classified as default, all its instruments are also classified as default, that is, in stage 3.

 

-

Loss given default (LGD): this is a measurement which estimates the severity of the loss that would be incurred at the time of the default. It has two approaches in the estimate of the severity of the loss, according to the stage of the client:

 

-

LGD workout: is the real loss of clients who reached the default stage. To calculate this parameter, the recoveries and costs of each of the operations are included (includes open and closed recovery processes).

 

-

LGD ELBE (expected loss best estimate): s the loss of contracts in a situation of default based on the time in default of the operation (the longer the time in default, the higher the level of loss of the operation).

-

Exposure at default (EAD): this is a measurement which estimates the exposure at the time of the client’s default, considering changes in future exposure, for example, in the case of prepayments and/or greater utilization of unused credit lines.

 

The estimate of the risk parameters considers information regarding the actual conditions, as well as the projections of future macroeconomic events and conditions in three scenarios (base, optimistic and pessimistic), which are weighted to obtain the expected credit loss.

 

The fundamental difference between the expected credit loss of a loan allocated in stage 1 and stage 2 is the PD’s time horizon. The estimates in stage 1 use a PD with a maximum time horizon of 12 months, while those in stage 2 use a PD measured for the remaining lifetime of the instrument. The estimates in stage 3 are carried out based on an LGD “best estimate”.

 

For those portfolios that are not material and/or do not have specific credit scoring models, the option was to extrapolate the expected credit loss ratio of portfolios with comparable characteristics.

 

The main methodological calibrations made in the internal credit risk models during 2023 were:

 

-

PD models: in accordance with our internal governance scheme, throughout 2023 we continue to monitor the performance of the PD models and implement the necessary calibrations to maintain an adequate measurement of the credit risk of our loan portfolio. In this sense, in the first half of 2023, a new version of the PD FWL parameter was implemented for the estimation of expected credit loss of the SME portfolio, in which the GDP variable was added to better capture the impact of the macroeconomics condition.

 

-

LGD models: In accordance with our internal governance scheme, throughout 2023 we continue to monitor the performance of LGD models and implement the necessary calibrations to maintain an adequate measurement of the credit risk of our loan portfolio. In this sense, in the fourth quarter of 2023, a new version of the LGD parameter was implemented for the estimation of the expected credit loss of the Hipotecario portfolio, which allowed the Government’s coverage of the Mivivienda program loans to be recognized in a more precise way.

 

-

On an extraordinary basis, the expected impact of the El Niño phenomenon on the credit risk of the Group’s loan portfolio was measured, focusing the analysis on the geographic areas with the greatest potential impact, and the additional provisions associated with this event were recorded.

 

Prospective information -

 

The measurement of the expected credit loss for each stage and the evaluation of significant increase in credit risk consider information on previous events and current conditions, as well as reasonable projections based on future events and economic conditions.

 

For the estimate of the risk parameters (PD, LGD, EAD), used in the calculation of the expected credit loss in stages 1 and 2, the significance of the macroeconomic variables (or their variations) that have the greatest influence on each portfolio which provide a better prospective and systemic vision to the estimate, based on econometric techniques. Each macroeconomic scenario used in the estimate of the expected credit loss considers projections of relevant macroeconomic variables, such as the gross domestic product (GDP), employment, terms of trade, inflation rate, among others, for a period of 3 years and a long-term projection.

 

 

The expected credit loss is a weighted estimate that considers three future macroeconomic scenarios (baseline, optimistic, pessimistic). These scenarios, as well as the probability of occurrence of each one, are projections provided by the internal Economic Studies team and are approved by Senior Management; These projections are made for the main countries where Credicorp operates. The design of the scenarios is reviewed quarterly. All scenarios considered apply to portfolios subject to expected credit loss with the same probabilities. 

Changes from one stage to another -

 

The classification of an instrument as stage 1 or stage 2 depends on the concept of “significant increase in credit risk” at the reporting date compared to the origin date. This classification is updated monthly. As the IFRS 9 states, this classification depends on the following criteria:

 

-

An account is classified in stage 2 if it has more than 30 days in arrears.

-

Additionally, significant risk thresholds were established based on absolute and relative thresholds that depend on the risk level in which the instrument was originated. The thresholds differ for each of the portfolios considered.

-

Additional qualitative reviews are carried out based on the risk segmentation used in the management of Retail Banking and an individual review is carried out in Wholesale Banking.

 

Additionally, all those accounts classified as default at the reporting date, according to the definition used by the Group, are considered as stage 3.

 

Evaluations of significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition and credit impairment are carried out independently on each reporting date.

 

Wholesale Banking assets can be moved in both directions from one stage to another; in this sense, a financial asset that migrated to stage 2 will return to stage 1 if its credit risk did not increase significantly from its initial recognition until a subsequent reporting period. Likewise, an asset that is in stage 3 will return to stage 2 if the asset is no longer considered to be impaired (according to our definition of default) for a certain number of subsequent reporting periods.

 

On the other hand, Retail Banking assets that migrated to stage 2 will return to stage 1 if their credit risk has not increased significantly since their initial recognition during a certain number of subsequent reporting periods (cure period). In the case of assets housed in stage 3, these will not return to stage 2 except for refinanced loans, which will return to stage 2 if good payment behavior is demonstrated during a certain number of subsequent reporting periods.

 

Expected life -

 

For the instruments in stage 2 or 3, the allowance for loan losses will cover the expected credit loss during the expected time of the remaining lifetime of the instrument. For most instruments, the expected life is limited to the remaining contractual life, adjusted by expected prepayments. In the case of revolving products, a statistical analysis was carried out to determine what would be the expected life period.

 

 

The following is a summary of the direct credits (without interest) classified into three important groups and their respective allowance for loan losses for each type of loan; it is important to note that impaired loans are loans in default that are in stage 3. Additionally, it should be noted that, in accordance with IFRS 7, the total balance of the loan is considered overdue when the debtor has failed to make a payment at its contractual maturity.

 

(i)

Loans neither past due nor impaired, which comprise those direct loans which currently do not have characteristics of delinquency and which are not in default.

(ii)

Past due but not impaired loans, which comprise all of the direct loans of customers who are not in default but have failed to make a payment at its contractual maturity, according to IFRS 7.

(iii)

Impaired loans, those direct loans considered to be in stage 3 or default, as detailed in note 30.1(c).

The general explanation of the variations in the allowance for loan losses is found in note 7(c).

 

At Credicorp, we separate renegotiated loans into two groups, focusing on operations that have suffered a significant increase in credit risk since their disbursement, which has generated modifications to the original loan agreement. Both groups are defined below:

 

-

Refinanced loans: are those loans that have undergone modifications in the initial loan agreement (term and interest rate), according to the accounting definition.

-

Renegotiated loans due to the COVID-19 pandemic: are those loans for which, due to the pandemic, the SBS and other local regulators of the countries where Credicorp operates have established that certain benefits be granted, and that Credicorp has also voluntarily granted to its clients (grace periods, debt consolidation, etc.), which were not in the initial credit agreements.

 

Below is the amount of gross portfolio balance and allowance for loan losses for Credicorp’s renegotiated loans. The presentation is made for each of the two groups defined above and by opening the balances by stage. It should be noted that for the construction of the tables, the information of the three subsidiaries that concentrate more than 95.0 percent of the balance of renegotiated loans (BCP, Mibanco and BCB) has been considered.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, renegotiated loans, refinanced loans and their expected loss are composed as follows:

 

			2023								2022
			Refinanced loans				Expected loss				Refinanced loans				Expected loss

On the other hand, the breakdown of direct loans classified by maturity is shown below, according to the following criteria:

 

(i)

Current loans, which comprise those direct loans which do not currently have characteristics of delinquency, nor are they in default or stage 3, according to the rules of IFRS 9.

(ii)

Current but impaired loans, which comprise those direct loans which do not currently have characteristics of delinquency, but are in default or stage 3, according to IFRS 9.

(iii)

Loans with payment delay of one day or more but that are not past due according to our internal guidelines, which comprise those direct loans of customers who have failed to make a payment at its contractual maturity, that is, with at least one day past due. However, the days of delinquency are insufficient to be considered as past due under the Group’s internal criteria.

(iv)

Past due loans under internal criteria.

  

  

The total of the following reflects all overdue loans according to IFRS 7: (i) loans with payment delays of one day or more but that are not considered overdue under internal criteria and (ii) overdue loans under internal criteria.

The credit loss provision for direct and indirect credits is a weighted estimate of three macroeconomic scenarios: baseline, optimistic and pessimistic; which are based on macroeconomic projections provided by the internal Economic Studies team and approved by Senior Management. In each scenario, the Group relies on a wide variety of forward-looking information as economic inputs, which include: the growth of the gross domestic product, the inflation rate, the exchange rate, among others, see further explanation in note 3(j).

 

Macroeconomic scenario –

 

The expected credit loss is a weighted estimate of three macroeconomic scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic, which are calculated with macroeconomic projections provided by the Economic Studies team and approved by Senior Management. The local and international information flows available during the analysis period are used to feed the projections, which reflect the fact that Peru is a small and open economy, and in this context, approximately 60.0 percent of the volatility in growth economic is driven by external factors including terms of trade, the growth of Peru’s trading partners and external interest rates. Information is collected on each of these factors to build each scenario for the next three years.

 

 

The variables mentioned above, along with local variables (fiscal and monetary variables), are incorporated into the economic models. Two types of models are used:

 

i) Structural projection model. 

ii) Financial programming model.

 

The first is a stochastic dynamic general equilibrium model, which is built with expectations. The second is constructed with the main identities of the national accounts in accordance with the financial programming methodology designed by the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the methodologies used by a battery of econometric models.

 

Through this process, projections of GDP growth, inflation, exchange rate and other macroeconomic variables are obtained for the years 2024 and 2025. We expect GDP to grow around 2.0 percent in 2024 (2023: -0.6 percent hundred). The recovery of economic activity will be explained, among other reasons, by:

 

- A copper price still favorable. 

- Inflation will continue to slow down, favoring the purchasing power of households. 

- Investment projects that begin or continue their execution. 

- Better results in the Agriculture and Fishing sectors.

 

The Peruvian Government, in a statement dated December 29, 2023, indicated that the Coastal Niño is expected to continue until April 2024. However, for the period of January-March 2024 it revised downwards the probabilities of an event of magnitude moderate at 37 percent (previous: 54 percent) and strong at 12 percent (previous 22 percent). On the contrary, the probabilities of a weak magnitude event increased to 33 percent (previous: 20 percent) and neutral (No Child) to 18 percent (previous: 3 percent). By 2025, the Peruvian economy would grow around 3.0 percent due to the recovery of domestic demand.

 

For 2024, probabilities of 50 percent, 40 percent and 10 percent were considered for the baseline, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, respectively. The 2024 probabilities, taking into account the probability of the occurrence of the El Niño phenomenon, the recovery of the economic cycle and the impacts of external factors on the Peruvian economy. For 2025, we return to the probabilities of 50 percent, 25 percent and 25 percent for the baseline, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, respectively. The probabilities assigned to each scenario and the projections are validated through a fan chart analysis, which uses the likelihood function to identify and analyze:

 

i)

The central tendency of the projections.

ii)

The dispersion that is expected around this value.

iii)

The values that are higher or lower than the central value that are more or less probable.

 

The following table provides a comparison between the carrying amount of allowance for loan losses for direct loans, indirect loans and due from customers on banker’s acceptances, and its estimation under three scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic.

Credit risk management on reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing -

 

Most of these operations are performed by Credicorp Capital. The Group has implemented credit limits for each counterparty and most of transactions are collateralized with investment grade financial instruments and financial instruments issued by Governments.

 

e)

Credit risk management on investments -

 

The Group evaluates the credit risk identified of each of the investments, disclosing the risk rating granted to them by a risk rating agency. For investments traded in Perú, risk ratings used are those provided by the three most prestigious Peruvian rating agencies (authorized by Peruvian regulator) and for investments traded abroad, the risk-ratings used are those provided by the three most prestigious international rating agencies.

 

In the event that any subsidiary uses a risk-rating prepared by any other risk rating agency, said risk-ratings are standardized with those provided by the above-mentioned institutions.

 

The following table shows the analysis of the risk-rating of the investments at fair value through profit or loss, at fair value through other comprehensive income and amortized cost provided by the institutions referred to above:

Offsetting financial assets and liabilities -

 

The disclosures set out in the tables below include financial assets and liabilities that:

 

-

Are offset in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position; or

-

Are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar financial instruments, irrespective of whether they are offset in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Similar agreements include derivative clearing agreements, master repurchase agreements, and master securities lending agreements. Similar financial instruments include derivatives, accounts receivable from reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing, payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending and other financial assets and liabilities. Financial instruments such as loans and deposits are not disclosed in the tables below because they are not offset in the statement of financial position.

 

The offsetting framework contract issued by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. (“ISDA”) and similar master offsetting arrangements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position, because said agreements were created in order for both parties to have an enforceable offsetting right in cases of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparties or following other predetermined events. In addition, the Group and its counterparties do not intend to settle said instruments on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

 

The Group receives and gives collateral in the form of cash and trading securities in respect of the following transactions:

 

-

Derivatives;

-

Accounts receivable from reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing;

-

Payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending; and

-

Other financial assets and liabilities

 

Such collateral adheres to standard industry terms including, when appropriate, an ISDA Credit Support Annex. This means that securities received/given as collateral can be pledged or sold during the term of the transaction but have to be returned on maturity of the transaction. The terms also give each party the right to terminate the related transactions upon the counterparty’s failure to return the respective collateral.

The gross amounts of financial assets and liabilities disclosed in the above tables have been measured in the statement of financial position on the following basis:

 

-

Derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value.

-

Receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending are measured at amortized cost.

-

Financial liabilities are measured at fair value.

 

The difference between the carrying amount in the consolidated statement of financial position and the amounts presented in the tables above for derivatives (presented in other assets Note 12(c)), receivables from reverse repurchase agreement and securities borrowing and payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments outside of the scope of offsetting disclosure.

 

 

30.2

Market risk -

 

The Group has exposure to market risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in interest rates, currency, commodities, and equity products; all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility of prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. Due to the order of the Group’s current activities, commodity price risk has not been approved, so this type of instrument is not agreed.

 

The Group separates exposures to market risk in two groups: (i) those that arise from value fluctuation of trading portfolios recognized at fair value through profit or loss due to movements of market rates or prices (Trading Book) and (ii) those that arise from changes in the structural positions of non-trading portfolios due to movements of the interest rates, prices and foreign exchange ratios (Banking Book) and that are recorded at amortized cost and at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income, this is due to movements in interest rates, prices and currency exchange rates.

 

The risks that trading portfolios face are managed through Value at Risk (VaR) historical simulation techniques; while non-trading portfolios (Banking Book) are monitored using rate sensitivity metrics, which are a part of Asset and Liability Management (ALM).

The trading book is characterized for having liquid positions in stocks, bonds, foreign currencies and derivatives, arising from market-making transactions where the Group acts as principal with the customers or with the market. This portfolio includes investments and derivatives classified by Management as held for trading.

 

(i)

Value at Risk (VaR) –

 

The Group applies the VaR approach to its trading portfolio to estimate the market risk of the main positions held and the maximum losses that are expected, based upon a number of assumptions for various changes in market conditions and considering the risk appetite of the subsidiary.

 

Daily calculation of VaR is a statistically-based estimate of the maximum potential loss on the current portfolio from adverse market movements.

 

VaR expresses the “maximum” amount the Group might lose, but only to a certain level of confidence (99 percent). There is therefore a specified statistical probability (1 percent) that actual loss could be greater than the VaR estimate. The VaR model assumes a certain “holding period” until positions can be closed (1 - 10 days).

 

The time horizon used to calculate VaR is one day; however, the one-day VAR is amplified to a 10-day time frame and calculated multiplying the one-day VaR by the square root of 10. This adjustment will be accurate only if the changes in the portfolio in the following days have a normal distribution independent and identically distributed; because of that, the result is multiplied by a non-normality adjustment factor. The limits and consumptions of the VaR are established on the basis of the risk appetite and the trading strategies of each subsidiary.

 

The evaluation of the movements of the trading portfolio has been based on annual historical information and 129 market risk factors, which are detailed below: 45 market curves, 43 stock prices, 37 mutual fund values and 4 series of volatility.

 

 

The Group directly applies these historical changes in rates to each position in its current portfolio (method known as historical simulation).

 

The Group Management considers that the market risk factors, incorporated in their VaR model, are adequate to measure the market risk to which its trading portfolio is exposed.

 

The use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements. Losses exceeding the VaR figure may occur, on average under normal market conditions, not more than once every hundred days.

 

VaR limits have been established to control and keep track of all the risks taken. These risks arise from the size of the positions and/or the volatility of the risk factors embedded in each financial instrument. Regular reports are prepared for the Treasury Risk Committee and ALM, the Risk Management Committee and Senior Management.

 

VaR results are used to generate economic capital estimates by market risk, which are periodically monitored and are part of the overall risk appetite of each subsidiary. Furthermore, at Group level, there is also a limit to the risk appetite of the trading portfolio, which is monitored and informed to the Treasury Risks and ALM Corporate Committee.

 

In VaR calculation, the effects of the exchange rate are not included because said effects are measured in the net monetary position, see note 30.2(b)(ii).

 

The Group’s VaR showed a decrease as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to lower interest rate risk due to a lower sensitive amount of the portfolio and the registration of fewer upward rate shocks during the last year. The VaR remained contained within the risk appetite limits established by the Risk Management of each Subsidiary.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s VaR by risk type is as follows:

 

		2023				2022
		S/(000)				S/(000)
Interest rate risk			29,399				74,343
Price risk			5,291				5,219
Volatility risk			20				2,032
Diversification effect			(5,850	)			(7,347	)
Consolidated VaR by type of risk			28,860				74,247

 

On the other hand, those instruments that are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and that are not intended for trading are included in the rate and price sensitivity analysis in the following section. See table of earnings sensitivity at risk, net economic value and price sensitivity.

 

b)

Banking Book –

 

The non-trading portfolios or, belonging to the banking book (“banking book”), are exposed to different risks, since they are sensitive to movements in market rates, which may result in a negative impact on the value of the assets. with respect to its liabilities, and therefore, in its net worth.

 

 

(i)

Interest rate risk –

 

The Banking Book-related interest rate risk arises from eventual changes in interest rates that may adversely affect the expected gains (risk gains) or market value of financial assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheet (net economic value). The Group assumes the exposure to the interest rate risk that may affect their fair value as well as the cash flow risk of future assets and liabilities.

 

The Risk Committee sets the guidelines regarding the level of unmatched repricing of interest rates that can be tolerated, which is periodically monitored through ALCO.

 

Corporate policies include guidelines for the management of the Group’s exposure to the interest rate risk. These guidelines are implemented considering the features of each segment of business in which the Group entities operate.

 

In this regard, Group companies that are exposed to the interest rate risk are those that have yields based on interest, such as credits, investments, and technical reserves. Interest rate risk management in Banco de Crédito del Perú, Banco de Crédito de Bolivia, Mibanco- Banco de la Microempresa, Mibanco - Banco de la Microempresa de Colombia, ASB Bank Corp and Pacífico Seguros, is carried out by performing a repricing gap analysis, sensitivity analysis of the financial margin (GER) and sensitivity analysis of the net economic value (VEN). These calculations consider different rate shocks, which are generated through different scenario simulations and consider periods of high volatility.

 

Analysis of repricing gap –

 

The repricing gap analysis is intended to measure the risk exposure of interest rate for repricing periods, in which both balance and out of balance assets and liabilities are grouped. This allows identifying those sections in which the rate variations would have a potential impact.

 

The table below summarizes the Group’s exposure to interest rate risks. It includes the Group’s financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates, what occurs first:

Sensitivity to changes in interest rates -

 

The sensitivity analysis of a reasonable possible change in interest rates on the banking book comprises an assessment of the sensitivity of the financial margins that seeks to measure the potential changes in the interest accruals over a period of time and the expected movement of the interest rate curves, as well as the sensibility of the net economic value, which is a long- term metric measured as the difference arising between the Net Economic Value of assets and liabilities before and after a variation in interest rates.

 

The sensitivity of the financial margin is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the net financial interest income before income tax and non-controlling interest for one year, based on non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities held as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, including the effect of derivative instruments.

 

The sensitivity of the Net Economic Value is calculated by reassessing the financial assets and liabilities sensitive to rates, except for the trading instruments, including the effect of any associated hedge, and derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge. Regarding rate risk management, no distinction is made by accounting category for the investments that are considered in these calculations.

 

The results of the sensitivity analysis regarding changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented below:

The interest rate sensitivities set out in the table above are only illustrative and are based on simplified scenarios. The figures represent the effect of the pro-forma movements in the net interest income based on the projected yield curve scenarios and the Group’s current interest rate risk profile. This effect, however, does not incorporate actions that would be taken by Management to mitigate the impact of this interest rate risk.

 

The Group seeks proactively to change the interest rate risk profile to minimize losses and optimize net revenues. The projections above also assume that the interest rate of all maturities moves by the same amount and, therefore, do not reflect the potential impact on net interest income of some rates changing while others remain unchanged.

 

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, investments in equity securities and funds that are non-trading, recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income and at fair value through profit or loss, respectively, are not considered as comprising investment securities for interest rate sensitivity calculation purposes; however, a 10, 25 and 30 percent of changes in market prices is conducted to these price-sensitivity securities.

Foreign currency exchange risk –

 

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which impact net open monetary positions and equity positions in a different currency than the group’s functional currency.

 

The group’s monetary position is made up of the net open position of monetary assets, monetary liabilities and off-balance sheet items expressed in foreign currency for which the entity itself assumes the risk; as well as the equity position generated by the investment in the group’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from soles. In the first case, any appreciation/depreciation of the foreign currency would affect the consolidated income statement, on the contrary, in the case of the equity position, any appreciation/depreciation of the foreign currency will be recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

The Group manages foreign currency exchange risk, which affects the income statement, by monitoring and controlling currency positions exposed to movements in exchange rates. The market risk units of each subsidiary establish limits for said positions, which are approved by their own committees, and monitor and follow up the limits considering their foreign exchange trading positions, their most structural foreign exchange positions, as well as their sensitivities. Additionally, there is a monetary position limit at the Credicorp level, which is monitored and reported to the Group’s Risk Committee.

 

On the other hand, the Group manages foreign currency exchange risk whose fluctuation is recognized in other comprehensive income, monitoring, and controlling equity positions and their sensitivities, which are reported to the Group’s Risk Committee.

 

Net foreign exchange gains/losses recognized in the consolidated statement of income are disclosed in the following items:

 

-

Net gain on foreign exchange transactions,

 

-

Net result on derivatives held for trading,

 

-

Net gain from exchange difference

 

As of December 31, 2023, the foreign currency in which the group has the greatest exposure is the U.S. Dollar. The free-market exchange rate for purchase and sale transactions of each U.S. Dollar as of December 31, 2023 was S/3.709 (S/3.814 as of December 31, 2022).

 

 

Transactions in foreign currency are made at free market exchange rates of the countries where Credicorp’s Subsidiaries are established. As of December 31,2023 and 2022, the net open monetary position with effect on results and the equity position of the Group was as follows:

As of December 31, 2023, the monetary position with effect on equity in other currencies is mainly made up of the equity of subsidiaries in Bolivian pesos for S/860.3 million, in Colombian pesos for S/961.9 million and, in Chilean pesos for S/380.9 million, among other minors. As of December 31, 2022, the monetary position with effect on equity in other currencies was mainly made up of the equity of subsidiaries in Bolivian pesos for S/954.7 million, in Colombian pesos for S/566.7 million and, in Chilean pesos for S/348.0 million, among other minors.

 

(*) As of December 31, 2023 the accounting hedge of net investment abroad was revoked, where part of our liability position in dollars related to the balance of the caption “bonds and notes issued”, see Note 15(a)(iii), was designated as cover our permanent investment in Atlantic Security Holding.

 

 

The following tables show the sensitivity analysis of the main currencies to which the Group is exposed, and which affect the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

 

The analysis determines the effect of a reasonably possible variation of the exchange rate against the sol for each of the currencies independently, considering all other variables constant. A negative amount shows a potential net reduction in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income, while a positive amount reflects a potential increase.

 

The following is a sensitivity analysis of the foreign exchange position with an effect on the consolidated statement of income:

30.3

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its short-term payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. In this sense, the company that is facing a liquidity crisis would be failing to comply with the obligations to pay depositors and with commitments to lend or satisfy other operational cash needs.

 

The Group is exposed to daily cash requirements, interbank deposits, current accounts, time deposits, use of loans, guarantees and other requirements. The Management of the Group’s subsidiaries establishes limits for the minimum funds amount available to cover such cash withdrawals and on the minimum level of inter-bank and other borrowing facilities that should be in place to cover withdrawals at unexpected levels of demand. Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by the corresponding risk teams to maintain a wide diversification by currency, geography, type of funding, provider, producer and term.

 

The procedure to control the mismatching of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the management of the Group. It is unusual for banks to be completely matched, as transacted business is often based on uncertain terms and of different types. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but also increases liquidity risk, which generates exposure to potential losses.

 

Maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace them, at an acceptable cost are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group.

 

A mismatch, in maturity of long-term illiquid assets against short-term liabilities, exposes the consolidated statement of financial position to risks related both to rollover and to interest rates. If liquid assets do not cover maturing debts, a consolidated statement of financial position is vulnerable to a rollover risk. Furthermore, a sharp increase in interest rates can dramatically increase the cost of rolling over short-term liabilities, leading to a rapid increase in debt cost. The contractual-maturity gap report is useful in showing liquidity characteristics.

 

Corporate policies have been implemented for liquidity risk management by the Group. These policies are consistent with the particular characteristics of each operating segment in which each of the Group companies operate. Risk Management heads set up limits and autonomy models to determine the adequate liquidity indicators to be managed.

 

Commercial banking and Microfinance:

 

Liquidity risk exposure in BCP Perú, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco and Mibanco Colombia is based on indicators such as the Internal Liquidity Coverage Ratio (RCLI, the Spanish acronym) which measures the amount of liquid assets available to meet cash outflows needs within a given stress scenario for a period of 30 days and the Internal Ratio of Stable Net Funding (RFNEI, the Spanish acronym), which is intended to guarantee that long-term assets are financed at least with a minimum number of stable liabilities within a prolonged liquidity crisis scenario and works as a minimum compliance mechanism that supplements the RCLI. The core limits of these indicators are 100% and any excess is presented in the Credicorp Treasury Risk Committee, Credicorp Risk Committee and the Assets Liabilities Committee (ALCO) of the respective subsidiary.

 

Insurances and Pensions:

 

Insurances: Liquidity risk management in Pacífico Grupo Asegurador follows a particular approach given the nature of the business. For annually renewable businesses, mainly general insurance, the emphasis of liquidity is focused on the quick availability of resources in the event of a systemic event (e.g. earthquake); for this purpose, there are minimum investment indicators in place relating to local cash/time deposits and foreign fixed-income instruments of high quality and liquidity.

 

 

For long-term businesses such as Pacífico Seguros, given the nature of the products offered and the contractual relationship with customers (the liquidity risk is not material); the emphasis is on maintaining sufficient flow of assets and matching their maturities with maturities of obligations (mathematical technical reserves); for this purpose there are indicators that measure the asset/liability sufficiency and adequacy as well as calculations or economic capital subject to interest rate risk, this last under the methodology of Credicorp.

 

Pensions: Liquidity risk management in AFP Prima is carried out in a differentiated manner between the fund administrator and the funds being managed. Liquidity management regarding the fund administrator is focused on hedge meeting periodic operating expense needs, which are supported with the collection of commissions. The fund administering entity does not record unexpected outflows of liquidity.

 

Investment banking:

 

Liquidity risk in the Grupo Credicorp Capital principally affects the security brokerage. In managing this risk, limits of use of liquidity have been established as well as mismatching by dealing desk; follow-up on liquidity is performed on a daily basis for a short-term horizon covering the coming settlements. If short-term unmatched maturities are identified, repos are used. On the other hand, structural liquidity risk of Credicorp Capital is not significant given the low levels of debt, which is monitored regularly using financial planning tools.

 

In the case of Atlantic Security Bank, the risk liquidity management performs through indicators such as Internal Liquidity Coverage Ratio (RCLI, the Spanish acronym) and the Internal Ratio of Stable Net Funding (RFNEI, the Spanish acronym) with the core limits of 100% and any excess is presented in the Credicorp Treasury Risk Committee, Credicorp Risk Committee and the Assets Liabilities Committee (ALCO) of the respective subsidiary.

 

Companies perform a liquidity risk management using the liquidity Gap or contractual maturity Gap.

30.4

Non-financial risk -

 

A non-financial risk (NFR) is a broad term that is generally defined by exclusion; that is, any risk other than traditional financial market, credit and liquidity risks. RNFs may have substantial negative strategic, commercial, economic and/or reputational implications. RNF includes operational risks defined in Basel’s seven types of operational risk events, but also other important risks such as technology, cyber, conduct, model, compliance, strategic and third-party risk.

 

Non-Financial Risk management has become more challenging due to the added complexity of rapid changes in technology, extensive process automation, greater reliance on systems rather than people, as well as transformational processes such as business agility. These changes in the way financial institutions do business have led to new risk exposures, whether in the form of attacks affecting the Group service, data theft or online fraud.

 

30.5

Operational risk –

 

Operational risk is the possibility of the occurrence of losses arising from inadequate processes, human error, failure of information technology, relations with third parties or external events. Operational risks can, lead to financial losses and have legal or regulatory compliance consequences but exclude strategic or reputational risk (except for the companies under Colombian regulations, where reputational risk is included in operational risk).

 

Operational risks are grouped into internal fraud, external fraud, labor relations and job security, relations with customers, business products and practices, damages to material assets, business and systems interruption, and failures in process execution, delivery and management of processes.

 

One of the Group’s pillars is to develop an efficient risk culture, and to achieve this, it records operational risks and their respective process controls. The risk map permits their monitoring, prioritization and proposed treatment according to established governance. Likewise carries out an active cybersecurity and fraud prevention management, aligned with the best international practices.

 

The business continuity management system enables the establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving of business continuity based on best practices and regulatory requirements. The Group implements recovery strategies for the resources that support important products and services of the organization, which will be periodically tested to measure the effectiveness of the strategy.

 

In the management of operational risk, cybersecurity, fraud prevention and business continuity, corporate guidelines are used, and methodologies and best practices are shared among the Group’s companies.

 

Finally, it is incorporated as a mechanism of recovery in front of the materialization of operational risks, the management of the Transfer of Non-Financial Risks, mainly through Insurance Policies contracted individually or corporately in the local and international market, which cover losses due to fraud, civil and professional liability, cyber risks, damage to physical assets, among others. The insurance design is in accordance with the Group’s main operating risks, the coverage needs of key areas and the organization’s risk appetite, constantly seeking efficiencies in the cost of policies, working together with the insurers that make up the Group and the most important insurance/reinsurance brokers in the international market.

 

30.6

Cybersecurity -

 

Credicorp focuses its efforts on the most cost-efficient strategies to reduce the exposure to cybersecurity risk; thus, meeting the Group’s risk appetite. To achieve this, different levels of controls adapted to the different areas and companies potentially exposed are applied. Therefore, it maintains a significant investment program, which allows it to have the necessary technologies and processes to keep the Group’s operations and assets secure.

 

As part of the Cybersecurity Government, the Group has the CISO Credicorp and a corporate team whose objective is to ensure the deployment and compliance of the Cybersecurity strategy in all companies. The corporate appetite has been defined, which is reviewed annually, and the Strategy and Plan has been established at the corporate level, defining implementation priorities and improvements in accordance with the different realities of the companies. These lines of work include the Cybersecurity Strategy, which is constantly reviewed considering the global scenario, the risk profile, standards, frameworks and regulations, in order to guarantee business continuity, resilience and data privacy, as well as the adoption of the robust cybersecurity framework that allows the adaptation of cybersecurity controls for each of the Group’s companies, adequate management and remediation of vulnerabilities in an early and timely manner.

 

There is an awareness program, constant training of employees to generate a culture of cybersecurity awareness in all Group companies and cybersecurity indicators, which ensure alignment between the operations and business strategy of the Group’s companies.

 

Third-party governance allows us to ensure adherence and compliance with the Group’s policies, as well as the implementation of security technologies, to comprehensively secure all business processes.

 

Finally, the management of information security of information assets is carried out through a systemic process, documented and known by the entire organization under the best practices and regulatory requirements. Guidelines are designed and developed based on policies and procedures to ensure availability, privacy and integrity strategies.

 

30.7

Corporate Security and Cybercrime -

 

As part of the management of non-financial risks, the Corporate Security & Cyber Crime Area is responsible for detecting and responding to fraud and security incidents.

 

These tasks are carried out through specialized teams of investigations, cybercrime, forensic computing, internal fraud risk assessment, inspections, physical and electronic security, disaster risk management and strategic intelligence activities, which allow the safety of collaborators to be safeguarded, clients, suppliers and assets of the Group; as well as strengthening the organization’s resilience and rapid response capacity.

 

To this end, the designed strategy includes the use of cutting-edge technological tools in video surveillance, digital video surveillance and advanced risk profile analysis models, among other fronts. Likewise, there is highly specialized and trained talent on these fronts that allows the appropriate use of artificial intelligence, electronics, advanced analytics and cyber forensics, achieving high standards of efficiency and effectiveness in management.

 

Finally, The Group contributes to the security of the Financial System through union activities that it develops at the local level in the Association of Banks of Peru (ASBANC) and at the Latin American level in the Committee of Security Experts of the Latin American Federation of Banks (FELABAN).

 

30.8

Model Risk -

 

The Group uses models for different purposes such as credit admission, capital calculation, behavior, provisions, market risk, liquidity, among others.

 

Model risk is defined as the probability of loss resulting from decisions (credit, market, among others) based on the use of poorly designed and/or poorly implemented models. The sources that generate this risk are mainly: deficiencies in data, errors in the model (from design to implementation), use of the model.

 

The management of model risk is proportional to the importance of each model. In this sense, a concept of “tiering” (measurement system that orders the models depending to the importance according to the impact on the business) is defined as the main attribute to synthesize the level of importance or relevance of a model, from which is determined the intensity of the model risk management processes to be followed.

 

Model risk management is structured around a set of processes known as the life cycle of the model. The definition of phases of the life cycle of the model in the Group is detailed below: Identification, Planning, Development, Internal Validation, Approval, Implementation and use, and Monitoring and control.

 

30.9

Risk of the insurance activity -

 

The main risk the Group faces under insurance contracts is that the real cost of claims and payments or the timing of them, differ from expectations. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, the severity of the claims, the real benefits paid and the subsequent development of long-term claims.

 

Risk exposure is mitigated by diversification through a large portfolio of insurance contracts and by having different lines of business. Risks are also mitigated by careful selection and implementation of strategic underwriting guidelines, as well as the use of reinsurance agreements. Reinsurance underwriting is diversified in such a way that the Group is not dependent on any particular reinsurer; likewise, the Group’s operations are not dependent on any particular reinsurance contract.

 

Life insurance contracts –

 

The main risks that the Group is exposed to are mortality, morbidity, longevity, investment yield and flow, losses arising from policies due to the expense incurred being different than expected, and the policyholder decision; all of which, do not vary significantly in relation to the location of the risk insured by the Group, type of risk insured or industry.

 

The Group’s underwriting strategy is designed to ensure that risks are well diversified in terms of type of risk and level of insured benefits. This is achieved through diversification across insurable risks, the use of medical screening in order to ensure that pricing takes account of current health conditions and family medical history, regular review of actual claims experience and product pricing, as well as detailed claims handling procedures. Underwriting limits are in place to enforce appropriate risk selection criteria. For example, the Group has the right not to renew individual policies, it can impose deductibles and it has the right to reject the payment of fraudulent claims.

 

For contracts where death or disability is the insured risk, the significant factors that could increase the overall frequency of claims are epidemics, widespread changes in lifestyle and natural disasters, resulting in more claims than expected.

 

For retirement, survival and disability annuities contracts, the most significant factor is continuing improvement in medical science and social conditions that increase longevity.

 

Non-life insurance contracts (general insurance and healthcare) –

 

The Group mainly issues the following types of non-life general insurance contracts: automobile, technical branches, business and healthcare insurances. Healthcare contracts provide medical expense cover to policyholders. Risks under non-life insurance policies usually cover 12 months.

 

For general insurance contracts the most significant risks arise from climate changes, natural disasters and other type of damages. For healthcare contracts the most significant risks arise from lifestyle changes, epidemics and medical science and technology improvements.

 

The above risk exposures are mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance contracts and by having different lines of business. The sensitivity of risk is improved by careful selection and implementation of underwriting strategies of insurance contracts, which are designed to ensure that risks are diversified in terms of type of risks and level of insured benefits. This is achieved, in various cases, through diversification across industry sectors and geographic location.

 

Furthermore, strict claim review policies to assess all new and ongoing claims and in process of settlement, regular detailed review of claims handling procedures and frequent investigation of possible fraudulent claims are all policies and procedures put in place to reduce the Group’s risk exposure. Insurance contracts also entitle the Group to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs. Also, the Group actively manages and promptly pursues claims, in order to reduce its exposure to unpredictable future developments that can negatively impact the Group.

 

The Group has also limited its exposure by imposing maximum claim amounts on certain contracts as well as the use of reinsurance arrangements in order to limit its exposure to catastrophic events.

Capital management -

 

The Group maintains an actively managed capital base to cover risks inherent in its business. The adequacy of the Group’s capital is monitored using, among other measures, the rules and ratios established by the SBS, the supervising authority of its major subsidiaries and for consolidation purposes. Furthermore, capital management responds to market expectations in relation to the solvency of the Group and to support the growth of the businesses considered in the strategic planning. In this way, the capital maintained by the Group enables it to assume unexpected losses in normal conditions and conditions of severe stress.

 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are: (i) to comply with the capital requirements set by the regulators of the markets where the entities within the Group operate; (ii) to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and (iii) to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business, in line with the limits and tolerances established in the declaration of Risk Appetite.

 

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the regulatory capital for the subsidiaries engaged in financial and insurance activities amounted to approximately S/33,452.6 million and S/31,754.6 million, respectively. The regulatory capital has been determined in accordance with SBS regulations in force as of said dates. Under the SBS regulations, the Group’s regulatory capital exceeds by approximately S/7,731.9 million the minimum regulatory capital required as of December 31, 2023 (approximately S/8,156.9 million as of December 31, 2022).

Financial instruments included in the Level 1 category are those that are measured on the basis of quotations obtained in an active market. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

 

Financial instruments included in the Level 2 category are those that are measured on the basis of observable market factors. This category includes instruments valued using: quoted prices for similar instruments, either in active or less active markets and other valuation techniques (models) where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable based on market data.

 

Following is a description of how fair value is determined for the main Group’s financial instruments where valuation techniques were used with inputs based on market data which incorporate Credicorp’s estimates on the assumptions that market participants would use for measuring these financial instruments:

 

-

Valuation of derivative financial instruments -

 

Interest rate swaps, currency swaps and forward exchange contracts are measured by using valuation techniques where inputs are based on market data. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs, including the credit quality of counterparties, spot exchange rates, forward rates and interest rate curves. Options are valued using well-known, widely accepted valuation models.

 

A credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is applied to the “Over-The-Counter” derivative exposures to take into account the counterparty’s risk of default when measuring the fair value of the derivative. CVA is the mark-to market cost of protection required to hedge credit risk from counterparties in this type of derivatives portfolio. CVA is calculated by multiplying the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the expected exposure (EE) at the time of default.

 

A debit valuation adjustment (DVA) is applied to include the Group’s own credit risk in the fair value of derivatives (that is the risk that the Group might default on its contractual obligations), using the same methodology as for CVA.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the balance of receivables and payables corresponding to derivatives amounted to S/987.7 million and S/892.0 million respectively, See Note 12(c), generating DVA and CVA adjustments for approximately S/3.2 million and S/6.9 million respectively. The net impact of both items in the consolidated statement of income amounted to S/4.0 million of loss. As of December 31, 2022, the balance of receivables and payables corresponding to derivatives amounted to S/1,478.7 million and S/1,345.7 million, respectively, See Note 12(c), generating DVA and CVA adjustments for approximately S/7.5 million and S/11.2 million, respectively. Also, the net impact of both items in the consolidated statement of income amounted to S/6.0 million of loss.

 

-

Valuation of debt securities classified in the category “at fair value through other comprehensive income” and included in level 2 -

 

Valuation of certificates of deposit BCRP, corporate, leasing, subordinated bonds and Government treasury bonds are measured by calculating their Net Present Values (NPV) through discounted cash flows, using appropriate and relevant zero coupon rate curves to discount cash flows in the respective currency and considering observable current market transactions.

 

Certificates of deposit BCRP (CD BCRP) are securities issued at a discount in order to regulate the liquidity of the financial system. They are placed mainly through public auction or direct placement, are freely negotiable by their holders in the Peruvian secondary market and may be used as collateral in Repurchase Agreement Transactions of Securities with the BCRP.

 

Other debt instruments are measured using valuation techniques based on assumptions supported by prices from observable current market transactions, obtained via pricing services. Nevertheless, when prices have not been determined in an active market, fair values are based on broker quotes and assets that are valued using models whereby the majority of assumptions are market observable.

 

-

Valuation of financial instruments included in level 3 -

 

These are measured using valuation techniques (internal models), based on assumptions that are not supported by transaction prices observable in the market for the same instrument, nor based on available market data.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net unrealized loss of Level 3 financial instruments amounted to S/3.4 million and S/0.1 million, respectively. During 2023 and 2022, changes in the carrying amount of Level 3 financial instruments have not been significant since there were no purchases, issuances, settlements or any other significant movements or transfers from level 3 to Level 1 or Level 2 or vice versa.

 

b)

The methodologies and assumptions used by the Group to determine fair values depend on the terms and risk characteristics of the various financial instruments and include the following:

 

(i)

Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate loans are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, and individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the incurred losses of these loans. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amounts of loans, net of allowances, were not materially different from their calculated fair values.

 

(ii)

Assets for which fair values approximate their carrying value - For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or have a short term maturity (less than three months) it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate to their fair values. This assumption is also applied to demand deposits, savings accounts without a specific maturity and variable rate financial instruments.

 

(iii)

Fixed rate financial instruments - The fair value of fixed rate financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost are estimated by comparing market interest rates when they were first recognized with current market rates offered for similar financial instruments. The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing deposits is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing market interest rates for financial instruments with similar credit risk and maturity. For quoted debt issued the fair values are calculated based on quoted market prices. When quoted market prices are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on a current interest rate yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.

 

 

30.12

Fiduciary activities, management of funds and pension funds -

 

The Group provides custody, trustee, investment management and advisory services to third parties; therefore, the Group makes allocations and purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. Assets that are held in a fiduciary capacity are not included in these consolidated financial statements. These services give rise to the risk that the Group will be accused of mismanagement or under-performance.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the value of the net assets under administration off the balance sheet (in millions of soles) is as follows:

 

		2023		2022
Investment funds and mutual funds		55,773		69,264
Pension funds		36,867		30,596
Equity managed		35,016		35,062
Bank trusts		3,949		4,269
Total		131,605		139,191

Madoff Trustee Litigation -

 

In September 2011, the Trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS) and the substantively consolidated estate of Bernard L. Madoff (the Madoff Trustee) filed a complaint (the Madoff Complaint) against Credicorp’s subsidiary ASB (now ASB Bank Corp.) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). The Madoff Complaint seeks recovery of approximately US$120.0 million in principal amount, which is alleged to be equal to the amount of redemptions between the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005 of ASB-managed Atlantic U.S. Blue Chip Fund assets invested in Fairfield Sentry Limited (Fairfield Sentry), together with fees, costs, interest and expenses. The Madoff Complaint seeks the recovery of these redemptions from ASB Bank Corp. as “subsequent transfers” or “avoided transfers” from BLMIS to Fairfield Sentry, which Fairfield Sentry in turn subsequently transferred to ASB Bank Corp. The Madoff Trustee has filed similar “claw back” actions against numerous other alleged “subsequent transferees” that invested in Fairfield Sentry and its sister entities, which, in turn, invested in and redeemed funds from BLMIS.

 

There has been significant briefing on issues related to these Madoff Trustee actions, and these cases have been pending for many years. In November 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued a Memorandum Decision Regarding Claims to Recover Foreign Subsequent Transfers (the Memorandum Decision) holding that the recovery of certain subsequent foreign transfers is barred under the doctrine of comity and/or extraterritoriality, and dismissed the claims brought by the Madoff Trustee against a number of parties, including ASB Bank Corp. In March 2017, the Madoff Trustee filed an appeal (the Appeal) of the Memorandum Decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which reversed the Dismissal Order and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court (the Second Circuit Opinion). In April 2019, the defendant-appellees, including ASB Bank Corp., filed, and the Second Circuit granted, a motion to stay the issuance of the mandate pending the filing of a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court. The petition for a writ of certiorari was filed in the United States Supreme Court in August 2019. On or about June 1,2020, the United States Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari. Following the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari, the judgment for dismissal by the Bankruptcy Court was vacated and the matter was remanded back to the Bankruptcy Court. The case now remains pending in the Bankruptcy Court. On March 25,2022, ASB Bank Corp. filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. On May 24, 2022, the Madoff Trustee filed its opposition to the Motion to Dismiss. On July 14, 2022, ASB Bank Corp. filed its reply memorandum of law in further support of its Motion to Dismiss. On November 18, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Motion to Dismiss presented by ASB Bank Corp and give to ASB Bank Corp until February 1, 20223 to file an answer to the Complaint. ASB Bank Corp submitted its response to the complaint within the established period.

 

 

ii)

Fairfield Litigation -

 

In April 2012, Fairfield Sentry (In Liquidation) and its representative, Kenneth Krys (the Fairfield Liquidator), filed a complaint (the Fairfield Complaint) against ASB (now ASB Bank Corp.) in the Bankruptcy Court (the Fairfield v. ASB Adversary Proceeding). The Fairfield Complaint seeks to recover US$115.2 million in principal amount from ASB Bank Corp., representing the amount of ASB’s Bank Corp. redemptions of certain investments in Fairfield Sentry, together with fees, costs, interest and expenses. These are essentially the same funds that the Madoff Trustee seeks to recover in the Madoff Trustee litigation as described above. After the Fairfield Complaint was filed, the Bankruptcy Court procedurally consolidated the Fairfield vs. ASB Adversary Proceeding with other adversary actions brought by the Fairfield Liquidator against former investors in Fairfield Sentry.

 

Similar to the Madoff Trustee litigation described above, the Fairfield v. ASB Adversary Proceeding and related adversary actions have been pending for many years. In October 2016, the Fairfield Liquidator filed a Motion for Leave to Amend (the Motion for Leave) various complaints, including the Fairfield Complaint. Certain defendants, including ASB Bank Corp., filed a motion to dismiss (the Motion to Dismiss) and a consolidated memorandum of law (i) in opposition to the Motion for Leave and (ii) in support of the Motion to Dismiss. In December 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum decision granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Dismiss and the Motion for Leave (the Memorandum Decision). In March 2019, the Fairfield Liquidator submitted a form of a stipulated order dismissing the adversary proceeding against ASB Bank Corp. (the Dismissal Order), as directed by the Bankruptcy Court, but filed notices of appeal, including of the dismissal of the claims asserted against ASB Bank Corp. and other defendants, in May 2019. The appeal remains pending.

 

Through a Significant Event dated January 30, 2024, Credicorp Ltd. has informed the market that the litigation i) and ii) mentioned above, pending against ASB Bank Corp. before the District Bankruptcy Court, have been totally and definitively resolved.

Government Investigations -

 

At the end of 2019, the former Chairman and the current Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Credicorp, in their respective capacities as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of BCP Stand-alone, were summoned as witnesses by Peruvian prosecutors, along with 26 other Peruvian business leaders, to testify in connection with a judicial investigation that is being carried out regarding contributions made to the electoral campaign of a political party in the 2011 Peruvian presidential elections. The former Chairman informed prosecutors that in 2010 and 2011 Credicorp made donations totaling US$3.65 million to Fuerza 2011 campaign (in total amounts of US$1.7 million in 2010 and US$1.95 million in 2011). These contributions were made in coordination with the General Manager of Credicorp at that time. While the amount of these contributions exceeded the limits then permitted under Peruvian electoral law, the law in place at that time provided no sanction for contributors, and instead only for the recipient of the campaign contribution.

 

 

The former Chairman also informed the prosecutors that in 2016, three subsidiaries of Credicorp (BCP Stand-alone, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico) made donations totaling S/711,000 (approximately US$200,000) to the Peruanos Por el Kambio campaign. These contributions were made in compliance both with Peruvian electoral law and with Credicorp’s own political contributions guidelines, adopted in 2015.

 

The Peruvian Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (’SMV’ for its Spanish acronym) has initiated a sanctioning process against Credicorp, for failing to disclose to the market, in due course, the political campaign contributions in the years 2011 and 2016. The SMV also has initiated a sanctioning process against three subsidiaries of Credicorp (BCP Stand-alone, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico), for failing to disclose to the market, in due course, the political campaign contributions made in connection with the 2016 presidential elections. The SMV notified Credicorp, BCP, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico with first instance Resolutions on these proceedings. The mentioned Resolutions imposed pecuniary sanctions (fines) on Credicorp and the three subsidiaries as a consequence of these sanctioning processes. Credicorp, BCP, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico appealed the Resolutions. As the appeals were not resolved within the period provided for by the legal regulations, Credicorp and each of the three subsidiaries proceeded to file contentious-administrative lawsuits against the SMV Resolution (due to negative administrative silence). However, both Credicorp and its three subsidiaries proceeded to pay the fines imposed by the SMV, in compliance with the provisions of Peruvian legislation. To date, the contentious-administrative actions are being processed before the Judiciary.

 

Credicorp believes that neither the contributions disclosed by our former Chairman and the current Vice Chairman in 2019 nor the related SMV sanctioning processes pose a significant risk of material liability to the Company. Furthermore, Credicorp does not believe that either of the contributions will have material effect on the Company’s business, financial position or profitability, since the fines imposed by the SMV have already been paid.

 

On November 11, 2021, Credicorp disclosed that its incoming CEO, Mr. Gianfranco Ferrari de las Casas, informed the company that he was notified of a Prosecutor’s Decision issued by the Corporate Supraprovincial Prosecutor’s Office Specialized in Officer Corruption Offenses Special Team - Fourth Court Division (“Fiscalía Supraprovincial Corporativa Especializada en Delitos de Corrupción de Funcionarios Equipo Especial - Cuarto Despacho”, for its name in Spanish). Through such notice, Mr. Ferrari was informed that he has been included in the preparatory investigation carried out against Mr. Yehude Simon M. and an additional sixty-five (65) individuals on the grounds of, in his particular case, alleged primary complicity in the alleged crime against the public administration, aggravated collusion, incompatible negotiation or improper use of position and criminal organization detrimental to the Peruvian State, in connection with the financial advisory services provided by BCP Stand - alone to the Olmos Project. To date Mr. Ferrari is still included in the preparatory investigation. Mr. Ferrari has already filed certain legal defenses in order to be excluded from the investigation.

 

Credicorp has reviewed the performance of the officers of Banco de Crédito del Perú in relation to the financial advisory services provided by the Bank in connection with the Olmos Project and has concluded that the facts under investigation do not give rise to any liability of Banco de Crédito del Perú or its officers. Credicorp bases this view on the qualified opinion of external consultants specialized in the matter. Therefore, Credicorp considers that the opening of the aforementioned preparatory investigation will not have any impact on the normal operation of the company, nor will it affect the dedication and performance of its officers in undertaking their regular duties.
