PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references in this Form 20-F (also referred to as the Annual Report), to “$, “US$,” “Dollars,” “foreign currency” or “U.S. Dollars” are to United States Dollars, and references to “S/.”, “Nuevo Sol” or “Nuevos Soles” are to Peruvian Nuevos Soles. Each Nuevo Sol is divided into 100 céntimoscentimos (cents).

 

Credicorp Ltd. is a Bermuda limited liability company (and is referred to in this Annual Report as Credicorp, the Company, the Group, we, or us, and means either Credicorp as a separate entity or as an entity together with our consolidated subsidiaries, as the context may require). We maintain our financial books and records in U.S. Dollars and present our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). IFRS differ in certain respects from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP).

 

We operate primarily through our four operating segments: banking (including commercial(mainly wholesale banking and investmentretail banking), investment banking, insurance, and pension funds, and brokerage and other.funds. See information about operating segments in “Item 4.-Information on the Company: (A) History and Development of the Company, and (B) Business Overview”.

 

Our fourfive principal operating subsidiaries are: (i) Banco de Crédito del Perú (which, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is referred to as BCP)BCP and includes wholesale and retail banking); (ii) Atlantic Security Bank, which we hold through Atlantic Security Holding Corporation (which, are referred to as ASB and ASHC, respectively); (iii) El Pacífico-Peruano Suiza Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros (which together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is referred to as Grupo Pacífico); and (iv) Prima AFP. BCP’s activities include wholesale banking,AFP; and (v) Credicorp Capital (which eventually will consolidate the companies of our investment banking and retail banking.platform). As of and for the year ended December 31, 2011,2013, BCP accounted for 87.4%86.0% of our total assets, 75.2%80.9% of our net income and 69.3%70.2% of our net equity. Unless otherwise specified, the individual financial information for BCP, ASB, Grupo Pacífico, and Prima AFP and Credicorp Capital included in this Annual Report has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of each such entity. See “Item 3. Key Information—(A) Selected Financial Data” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—(A) History and Development of the Company.” We refer to BCP, ASB, Grupo Pacífico, and Prima AFP and Credicorp Capital as our main operating subsidiaries, and we refer to Grupo Crédito and ASHC as our two main holding subsidiaries.

 

“Item 3. Key Information—(A) Selected Financial Data” contains key information related to our performance. This information was obtained mainly from our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2011.2013.

 

Our management’s criteria on foreign currency translation, for the purpose of preparing the Credicorp Consolidated Financial Statements, isare described in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—(A) Operating Results—(1) Critical Accounting Policies—Foreign Currency Translation.”

 

Some of our subsidiaries maintain their operations and balances in Nuevos Soles. As a result, this Annual Report contains certain Nuevo Sol amounts translated into U.S. Dollars which is solely for the convenience of the reader. You should not construe any of these translations as representations that the Nuevo Sol amounts actually represent such equivalent U.S. Dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. Dollars at the rate indicated as of the dates mentioned herein, or at all. Unless otherwise indicated, these U.S. Dollar amounts have been translated from Nuevos Soles at an exchange rate of S/.2.696.2.795 = US$1.00, which is the December 31, 20112013 exchange rate set by the Peruvian Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP (the Superintendency of Banks, Insurance and Pension Funds or the SBS)(SBS by its Spanish initials). The average of the bid and offered free market exchange rates published by the SBS for April 20, 201222, 2014 was S/.2.651.2.782 per US$1.00. Translating amounts expressed in Nuevos Soles on a specified date (at the prevailing exchange rate on that date) may result in the presentation of U.S. Dollar amounts that are different from the U.S. Dollar amounts that would have been obtained by translating Nuevos Soles on another specified date (at the prevailing exchange rate on that different specified date). See also “Item 3. Key Information—(A) Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates” for information regarding the average rates of exchange between the Nuevo Sol and the U.S. Dollar for the periods specified therein. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not publish a noon buying rate for Nuevos Soles. Our Bolivian subsidiary operates in Bolivianos, a currency that has been maintained stable over recent years. Our Bolivian subsidiary´ssubsidiary’s financial statements are also presented in U.S. Dollars. Our Colombian and Chilean subsidiaries, Credicorp Capital Colombia S.A. Sociedad Comisionista de Bolsa in Colombia (formerly Correval) and Inversiones IMT S.A. Corredores de Bolsa in Chile (formerly IM Trust), operate in Colombian Pesos and Chilean Pesos, respectively, and their financial statements are converted into U.S. Dollars for consolidation purposes.

3. D Risk Factors

 

Our businesses are affected by many external and other factors in the markets in which we operate. Different risk factors can impact our businesses, our ability to effectively operate and our business strategies. You should consider the risk factors carefully and read them in conjunction with all the information in this document. You should note that the risk factors described below are not the only risks to consider. Rather, these are the risks that we currently consider material. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or of which we are unaware, and any of these risks could have similar effects to those set forth below.

 

Our geographic location exposes us to risk related to Peruvian political, social and economic conditions.

Most of BCP’s, Grupo Pacífico’s and Prima AFP’s operations and customers are located in Peru. In addition, although ASB is based outside Peru, most of its customers are located in Peru. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition are dependent on the level of economic activity in Peru. Changes in economic or other policies of the Peruvian government, which has exercised and continues to exercise a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector, could affect our results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, other political, economic and social developments in Peru, including government-influenced effects on inflation, currency devaluation and economic growth could affect our operations and financial condition.

For several decades, Peru had a history of political instability that has included military coups and a succession of regimes with differing policies and programs. During the last 1517 years, however, Peru has experienced a period of relative political and economic stability, which has led to positive economic performance, including a GDP compounded annual growth rate of 5.8%6.3% for the last ten years (2002(2004 to 2011)2013). The government of Alberto Fujimori, who took office in July 1990, initiated a series of reforms aimed at: (i) stabilizing the economy, (ii) restructuring the national government (by reducing bureaucracy), (iii) privatizing state-owned companies, (iv) promoting private investment, (v) eradicating corruption and bribery in the judicial system, (vi) developing and strengthening free markets, (vii) institutionalizing democratic representation; and (viii) enacting programs designed to strengthen basic services related to education, health, housing and infrastructure. While serving his third term, President Fujimori was forced to call for general elections under extreme protest in July 2000when2000 when corruption in his government was exposed to the public. Fujimori later resigned in favor of a transitory government. In April of 2009, following a 15-month trial in Lima, Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years in prison for violations of human rights in connection with government-linked death squads. The two administrations that followed the Fujimori administration, after the transitional government led by Valentin Paniagua (2000-2001)(2000 - 2001), were the Toledo administration (2001-2006)(2001 - 2006) and the García administration (2006-2011)(2006 - 2011). Both governments followed similar economic policies, which focused on achieving sustained economic growth; increasing exports of Peruvian goods; reducing unemployment, underemployment and poverty; reforming the tax system; fostering private investment and increasing public investment in education, public health and other social programs, while reducing overall public spending.

 

Peru’s current president, Ollanta Humala from the Gana Perú political coalition, took office on July 28, 2011. As part of his economic policies, President Humala has named Harvard University trained economist Luis Miguel Castilla as economy minister, Oscar Valdes as prime minister, and Jorge Urquizo as production minister.2011 for a five-year term through 2016, after winning a run-off election. President Humala has, since his inauguration, substantially maintained the moderate economic policies of former president Alan García, whose administration was characterized by business-friendly and open-market economic policies that sustained and fostered economic growth, while controlling the inflation rate at historically low levels. However, we cannot assure you that the current or any future administration will maintain business-friendly and open-market economic policies or policies that stimulate economic growth and social stability, in particular given President Humala’s left-leaning political history and statements made during his presidential campaigns in 2006 and 2011. Any changes in the Peruvian economy or the Peruvian government’s economic policies may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Peru also has a history of domestic terrorism and social unrest. The terrorist organizations that were particularly active in Peru during 1980s and the early 1990s were theMovimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru (MRTA) and theSendero Luminoso (Shining Path). The leader of the Shining Path, Abimael Guzmán, was captured and imprisoned in 1992. In 2012, the most recent significant leader of this organization, Florindo Flores, commonly known as Artemio, was also captured. Nevertheless, terrorism, narcotrafficking and narco-terrorism remain key challenges for the Government. Remnants of the Shining Path rebel group have survived and the group is now split into two relatively independent factions; one in Peru’s Upper Huallaga Valley and one in the Apurimac and Ene River Valley (VRAE). These regions constitute the largest areas of coca cultivation and the main centers of “narco-terrorism” in Peru. Any resumption in terrorist activity by the MRTA, the Shining Path or other organizations may adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

 

In recent years, Peru has experienced social unrest in geographic areas that contribute to the country’s mining industry. Mining is an important sector of the Peruvian economy, representing approximately 60%55.1% of the country’s exports and 20%18% of its tax revenues.revenues; according to the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP) or the Peruvian Central Bank. However, while recent governments have concentrated on increasing the revenues and profitability of the mining industry, there has been less focus on improving the social and economic conditions of local communities affected by the industry, which has increased political tension. The most recent manifestation of this tension can be seen in social conflict around Conga, a gold-copper project located in northern Peru. The project, which included investments of betweenapproximately US$4.24.5 billion, and US$4.8 billion,initially failed to launch because of social protests led by residents concerned about its potential impact on the local water supply. In December 2011, the Peruvian government declared a state of emergency in the area, which lasted for approximately 10 days, and afterwards requested a new environmental impact study from independent consultants. The results of the study were delivered on April 16, 2012, and the Peruvian government has established a series of new conditions to improve the project that the mining company would be required to accept to continue with the project. The final outcome will depend onNevertheless, even without this project, copper production in Peru could double between 2012 and 2017. Another copper mine project, Toromocho, began in the answer fromfourth quarter of 2013. Three other projects in Cerro Verde, Constancia, and Las Bambas are expected to begin operations within four years. Although copper prices have declined recently, the cost of these projects is expected to be below the median costs for mining company.projects in copper industry, so the planned mining projects may continue development despite the decline in prices. A possible cancellation of this projectany major projects may have an impact on present and future foreign investment decisionsdecision and plans, which in turn could negatively affect Peru’s GDP and the growth and, as a result,of the expansion of Peruvian financial system.

Foreign exchange fluctuations and exchange controls may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Even though the functional currency of our financial statements iswas U.S. Dollars until December 31, 2013 and our dividends are paidis the Nuevo Sol from January 1, 2014 onwards, Credicorp’s subsidiaries generate revenues in Nuevos Soles, U.S. Dollars, BCP, Grupo PacíficoBolivian Pesos, Colombian Pesos, and Prima AFPChilean Pesos. The aforementioned exposed us to the fluctuation of Credicorp’s functional currency against the other currencies, which could have an impact on our results. For information on the change in the functional currency of Credicorp, see Item 5A. Operating Results - Change in Functional Currency for local statutory purposes, prepare their financial statements and pay dividends in Nuevos Soles. Financial Reporting.

The Peruvian government does not impose restrictions on a company’s ability to transfer Nuevos Soles, U.S. Dollars or other currencies from Peru to other countries, to convert Peruvian currency into U.S. Dollars or to pay dividends abroad.other currencies. Nevertheless, Peru has implemented restrictive exchange controls in its history, and the Peruvian government might in the future consider it necessary to implement restrictions on such transfers, payments or conversions. See “Item 10. Additional Information—(D) Exchange Controls.” In addition, depreciation of the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar would decrease the U.S. Dollar value of any dividends BCP, Grupo Pacífico and Prima AFP pay us, which would have a negative impact on our ability to pay dividends to shareholders.

 

Peru’s foreign reserves currently compare favorably with those of many other Latin American countries. However, a reduction in the level of foreign reserves will impact the country’s ability to meet its foreign currency-denominated obligations. A decline in Peruvian foreign reserves to inadequate levels, among other economic circumstances, could lead to currency devaluation or a volatility of short-term capital inflows. We have taken steps to manage the gap between our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities in several ways, including closely matching thetheir volumes and maturities of our Nuevo Sol-denominated assets against our Nuevo Sol-denominated liabilities.maturities. Nevertheless, a sudden and significant devaluation of the Nuevo Sol could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Exchange Risk.”

 

Also, a significant group of BCP’s borrowersFinally, BCP Bolivia, Credicorp Capital Colombia and Grupo Pacífico’s insureds generate Nuevo Sol revenues from their own clients. Devaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar could negatively impact BCP’s and Grupo Pacífico’s clients’ abilityIMTrust are also exposed to repay loans or make premium payments. Despite any devaluation, and absent any change in foreign exchange regulations, BCPfluctuations. Any exchange controls that could be implemented in their countries may adversely affect their financial condition and Grupo Pacífico would be expected to continue to repay U.S. Dollar-denominated deposits and U.S. Dollar-denominated insurance benefits in U.S. Dollars. Therefore, any significant devaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. For information on the macroeconomic scenario in these countries, see the risk factor “Our banking and capital market operations in neighboring countries expose us to risk related to political and financial condition.economic conditions”.

It may be difficult to serve process on or enforce judgments against us or our principals residing outside of the United States.

A significant majority of our directors and officers live outside the United States (principally in Peru). All or most of our assets and those of our principals are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our principals to bring forth a civil suit under the United States securities laws in United States courts. We have been advised by our Peruvian counsel that liability under the United States federal securities laws may not be enforceable in original actions in Peruvian courts. Also, judgments of United States courts obtained in actions under the United States federal securities laws may not be enforceable. Similarly, Bermudan counsel advised us that courts in Bermuda may not enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, or entertain actions in Bermuda, against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of those jurisdictions.

 

In addition, our bye-laws contain a broad waiver by shareholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of our officers or directors. This waiver limits the rights of shareholders to assert claims against our officers and directors for any action taken by an officer or director. It also limits the rights of shareholders to assert claims against officers for the failure of an officer or director to take any action in the performance of his or her duties, except with respect to any matter involving any willful negligence, willful default, fraud or dishonesty on the part of the officer or director.

Our ability to pay dividends to shareholders and to pay corporate expenses may be adversely affected by the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us.

As a holding company, our ability to make dividend payments, if any, and to pay corporate expenses will depend upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our operating subsidiaries. Our principal operating subsidiaries are BCP, Grupo Pacífico, ASB, Prima AFP and Prima AFP.Credicorp Capital. If our subsidiaries do not have funds available, or are otherwise restricted from paying us dividends, we may be limited in our ability to pay dividends to shareholders. Currently, there are no restrictions on the ability of BCP, ASB, Grupo Pacífico, or Prima AFP or Credicorp Capital to pay dividends abroad. In addition, our right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary, upon any subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization (and thus the ability of holders of our securities to benefit indirectly from such distribution), is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except where we are considered an unsubordinated creditor of the subsidiary. Accordingly, our securities will effectively be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, and holders of our securities should look only to our assets for payments.

 

In addition, the value of any dividend paid by our operating subsidiaries that declare dividends in a currency different from Credicorp’s dividends (e.g. ASB, Banco de Crédito Bolivia, IM Trust, Credicorp Capital Colombia) is exposed to the impact of the depreciation of its dividend’s currency against Credicorp’s functional currency. This would have a negative impact on our ability to pay dividends to shareholders.

Changes to banking regulations may adversely affect our operating performance and financial condition.

Because we are subject to regulation and supervision in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, the Cayman Islands, the United States of America, and Panama, changes to the regulatory framework in any of these countries or changes in tax laws could adversely affect our business.

 

We are mainly subject to extensive supervision and regulation through the SBS’s consolidated supervision regulations, which regulate allBanking and Insurance System Law (Ley General del Sistema Financiero y del Sistema de Seguros)and theRegulation of our subsidiariesthe Consolidated Supervision of Financial and offices including those located outside Peru. Mixed Conglomerates (Reglamento para la Supervisión Consolidada de los Conglomerados Financieros y Mixtos).

The SBS and the Banco Central de Reserva, or thePeruvian Central Bank, supervise and regulate BCP’s operations. Peru’s constitution and the SBS’s statutory charter grant the SBS the authority to oversee and control banks and other financial institutions including pension funds and insurance companies. The SBS and the Peruvian Central Bank have general administrative responsibilities over BCP, including designation of capitalization and reserve requirements. In past years, the Peruvian Central Bank has, on numerous occasions, changed the deposit reserve requirements applicable to Peruvian commercial banks as well as the rate of interest paid on deposit reserves and the amount of deposit reserves on which no interest is payable by the Peruvian Central Bank.Bank . Such changes in the supervision and regulation of BCP may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—(B) Business Overview—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation—(ii) BCP.”BCP”. Furthermore, changes in regulation related to consumer protection may also affect our business.

Furthermore, the Superintendency of the Securities Market (Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores or SMV by its Spanish initials) also supervises some of our subsidiaries such as BCP, Credicorp Capital Bolsa and Credicorp Capital Fondos.

In Colombia, we are subject to supervision and regulation through the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia and the Autorregulador del Mercado de Valores de Colombia. In Chile, we are subject to supervision and regulation through the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—(B) Business Overview—(12) Supervision and Regulation—(v) Investment Banking”.

 

We are also regulated by the United States Federal Reserve System, which shares its regulatory responsibility with the State of Florida Department of Banking and Finance - Office of Financial Regulation, with respect to BCP’s Miami agency, and by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA), with respect to Credicorp Capital Securities, a U.S. broker dealer.

Similarly, we are regulated by other governmental entities in other jurisdictions. In the Cayman Islands, we are subject to the supervision and regulation of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, or CIMA, while inCIMA. In Bolivia, we are subject to the supervision of the Financial System Supervisory Authority (or FSSA or ASFI in Spanish)(FSSA) that has assumed all regulatory functions held previously beby the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Entities and the Superintendency of Pensions, Securities and Insurance. In

Finally, in Panama, we are subject to the supervision of the Superintendency of Banks of Panama and the regulatory framework set forth in the Decree Law 9 of February 25, 1998. Changes in the supervision and regulation of our subsidiaries in other countries may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

In mid-2011, politicians outside of Peru's governing coalition introduced a bill in Congress that, if enacted, would set a cap on interest rates charged by the country's financial institutions. However, the SBS recently indicated that such a cap should only be used as a last resort for lowering rates if the SBS doesn’tdoes not succeed in getting Peru’s banks to voluntarily reduce interest rates in the next two to four years, the period in which several foreign banks are likely to establish or expand operations in Peru. Congress may nevertheless impose a cap, and an interest rate ceiling may adversely affect our Net Interest Margin (NIM) and consequently our operating performance.

On February 15, 2011, the Peruvian government enacted Law 29663. On July 21, 2011 Law 29663 was amended by Law 29757. This new Lawlaw partially modifies the country’s income tax regime by subjecting to taxation in Peru capital gains derived from an indirect transfer of shares and expanding the type of income that will qualify as Peruvian-source income. Under the new law, any transfer of shares issued by a non-resident entity will be subject to taxation in Peru (30% or 5%) if at any point during the 12 prior months to such transfer:

 

a.   50% or more of the fair market value of the foreign shares –to be transferred—is derived from shares or participation rights representing the equity capital of one or more Peruvian entities. There is a rebuttable presumption that the threshold is met if the non-resident entity is a resident in a tax heaven.

b.   The shares to be transferred represent at least 10% or more of the equity capital of the non-resident entity.

a.50% or more of the fair market value of the foreign shares to be transferred is derived from shares or participation rights representing the equity capital of one or more Peruvian entities. There is a rebuttable presumption that the threshold is met if the non-resident entity is a resident in a tax heaven; or/and
b.The shares to be transferred represent at least 10% or more of the equity capital of the non-resident entity.

 

At the same time, the following two new obligations were imposed on Peruvian domiciled companies:companies, which have economic relationship with the non-Peruvian seller:

 

a.Reporting to the Peruvian Tax Administration (SUNAT by its Spanish initials) transfers of its own shares or transfers of the shares of the non-Peruvian domiciled company that is the owner of its shares; and
b.Each Peruvian domiciled company is jointly liable for the income tax not paid by a non-Peruvian domiciled transferor that is directly or indirectly linked to the domiciled company (whether by means of control, management or equity participation) in connection with the transfer of the domiciled company’s shares, except in the event that the purchaser or acquirer of the shares is a Peruvian individual or entity.

(1)     Each

Supreme Decree N° 275-2013-EF enacted by the Peruvian Government on November 7, 2013, defined the concept of economic relationship for purposes of the indirect transfer of Peruvian shares. A Peruvian domiciled company is now requiredconsidered to reportbe economically related to the Peruvian Tax Administration (SUNAT) transfers of its own shares or transfers of the shares of the non-Peruvian domiciled company that istransferor, if, anytime during the owner12-month period prior the transfer occurs, one of its shares; andthe following circumstances occur:

 

(2)     Each Peruvian domiciled company is jointly liable for the income tax not paid by a non-Peruvian domiciled transferor that is directly or indirectly linked to the domiciled company (whether by means of control, management or equity participation) in connection with the transfer of the domiciled company’s shares, except in the event that the purchaser or acquirer of the shares is a Peruvian individual or entity.

a.The non-Peruvian domiciled transferor owns more than 10% of the equity of the Peruvian domiciled company, directly or through a third party.
b.The equity of the Peruvian domiciled company and the non-Peruvian domiciled transferor are owned in more than 10% by common shareholders.

 

The effectiveness of the obligations mentioned in (1) and (2) above is subject to additional regulations which have not been enacted yet by the Peruvian government. Until definitive regulations are enacted by the Peruvian government, which may clarify any obligation by Credicorp to withhold income tax for non-Peruvian domiciled transferors, we do not know what impact, if any, this new law will have on our company, subsidiaries or shareholders.

c.The Peruvian domiciled company and the non-Peruvian domiciled transferor have one or more common directors, managers or administrators, with power to decide on financial, operative and commercial agreements.
d.The Peruvian domiciled company and the non-Peruvian domiciled transferor consolidate their financial statements.
e.The non-Peruvian domiciled transferor has dominant influence on decisions of the administration bodies of the Peruvian domiciled company or vice versa.

A deterioration in the quality of our loan portfolio may adversely affect our results of operations.

Given that a significant percentage of our revenues areincome is related to bankinglending activities, a significant deterioration of loan quality would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are subject to concentration default risks in our loan portfolio. Problems with one or more of our largest borrowers may have an adverse impact onadversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. On the one hand,While loan portfolio risk associated with lending to certain economic sectors or clients in certain market segments can be mitigated through adequate diversification, policies. On the other hand, our pursuit of opportunities in which we can charge higher interest rates, and thereby increasing revenues,revenue, may reduce diversification of our loan portfolio and expose us to greater credit risk. We believe that significant opportunities exist in middle market, consumer lending and microfinance in Peru. We also believe that we can, on average, charge higher interest rates on such loans as compared with interest charged on loans in our core corporate banking business, which primarily consists of clients that operate in industrial and commercial economic sectors.

 

Accordingly,In addition, loan concentrations in commercial sectors are particularly salient in Peru and significant deteriorations in such sectors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our current strategy includes a greater emphasis on middleincreasing our exposure to market segments with heightened credit risk, including middle-market and consumer segments, such as unsecured small companies and consumer loans and microfinance, as well as continued growth of our loan portfolio in general. An increase in our portfolio’s exposure to these areas could be accompanied by greater credit risk. Such a greater credit risk would not only be affected by the speed and magnitude of the increase, but also by the shift to lending to these sectors,consumer mortgages, which have higher risk profiles as compared withto loans to large corporate customers. We follow this by using conservative credit assessments, risk-adjusted pricing methodologies and strong capital support. Given the changing composition of our loan portfolio historical loss experienceand possible adverse changes in the environment in which we operate, our future results may not be indicative of future loan loss experience.differ significantly from our past results.

Our banking and capital market operations in Bolivianeighboring countries expose us to risk related to Bolivian political and economic conditions.

Most of the operations and customers of Banco de Crédito de Bolivia, or BCP Bolivia, is BCP’sBCP´s commercial bank in Bolivia. Most of BCP Bolivia’s operations and customersBolivia, are located in Bolivia.that country. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial conditionscondition depend on the level ofBolivia´s economic activity in Bolivia. Bolivia’sand political environment. Bolivia´s macroeconomic indicators have been generally positive over the last several years, including steady growth rates, positive fiscal balances, and increasing international reserves. Inflation closed with a ratefor 2013 was 6.5%, above the Central Bank´s target of 6.9% in 2011, indicating that inflationary pressures are easing4.8%, mainly due to decreases in internationalhigher food prices and commodity prices. Athigh levels of liquidity in the same time,economy. However, Bolivia continues to experience a volatilelag other countries in the region in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) despite an increase in FDI in 2013. The political environment in Bolivia also continues to be unstable, as does its regulatory and a reductionlegal framework. During 2014 we expect an increase in private investment activity. We expect to face some increased costsBolivia’s consumer price index as a result of aincreased government decree establishing wage increases indexed tospending in connection with the inflation rate, and also certain regulatory changes that could impact our earnings. Another important issue ispresidential elections being held in October 2014. Also, the Bolivian government announcement that duringenacted new banking laws in August 2013, the first quarterfull effect of 2012 they planwhich will start to approve abe seen in 2014. The new law that applies a new tax burden on thebanking laws, which include interest rate regulation and minimum lending requirements to specific economic sectors, could lead to instability in Bolivia’s financial system regulated by ASFI.and adversely affect our results of operations.

Credicorp Capital Colombia and IMTrust expose us to risk related to Colombian and Chilean political and economic conditions, respectively.

Colombia’s macroeconomic indicators have been generally positive over the last several years. However, a decline in Colombian mineral exports has contributed to a deterioration of Colombia’s trade balance. In addition, Colombia recently has enacted deficit reduction measures, and the Colombian Central Bank has focused on strengthening its international reserves as a hedge against external economic pressures. Additionally, Colombia holds national elections in 2014, which may result in new regulations, taxes and spending priorities. Any institution with profits exceeding 13% of return on equity will be taxed an additional 12.5%. In this environment, our strategy will beadverse economic consequences arising from changes to control costs and expenses, increase efficiency and maintainColombian policies or a prudent and proactive risk management. Any material negative effect on BCP Bolivia’s operationsdecline in Colombian exports or financial results couldproduction may have a material adverse effect on Credicorp’s ownour revenue and results of operations.

In Chile, tax reforms supported by Chile’s President have been proposed to Congress. If enacted, the proposed reforms would increase tax revenue by 3.0% of GDP, which mostly will be used to finance higher government permanent spending (including the educational reform). The reforms include a proposed increase in corporate taxes from 20% to 25%, the elimination of Chile’s Fondo de Utilidad Tributaria (FUT by its Spanish initials, which is a tax incentive to reinvest corporate profits) and a reduction in personal income taxes. Any increases in taxes Chile imposes on IM Trust and any would adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes to insurance regulations in Peru may impact the ability of our insurance subsidiary to underwrite and price risk effectively, and may adversely affect our operating performance and financial condition.

Our insurance business is carried out by Pacífico Seguros and Pacífico Vida which together with Pacíficosalud EPS S.A.fico Salud are part of Grupo Pacífico. The insurance business is subject to regulation by the SBS. New legislation or regulations may adversely affect Grupo Pacífico’s ability to underwrite and price risks accurately, which in turn would affect underwriting results and business profitability. Grupo Pacífico is unable to predict whether and to what extent new laws and regulations that would affect its business will be adopted in the future. Grupo Pacífico is also unable to predict the timing of any such adoption and the effects any new laws or regulations would have on its operations, profitability and financial condition. However, we can expect new legislation in the spirit of Solvency II in the years to come.

 

The Group also assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of business for non-life and life insurance contracts when applicable. Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognized as revenue or expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the product classification of the reinsured business.

 

Our operating performance and financial condition depend on Grupo Pacífico’s ability to underwrite and set premium rates accurately across a full spectrum of risks. Grupo Pacífico must generate sufficient premiums to offset losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses in order to be profitable.

 

To price premium rates accurately, Grupo Pacífico must:

 

collect and analyze a substantial volume of data;

provide sufficient resources to its technical units;
develop, test and apply appropriate rating formulae;

closely monitor changes in trends in a timely fashion; and

predict both severity and frequency with reasonable accuracy.

 

If Grupo Pacífico fails to assess accurately the risks that it assumes or does not accurately estimate its retention, it may fail to establish adequate premium rates. Failure to establish adequate premium rates could reduce income and have a materially adverse effect on its operating results or financial condition. Moreover, there is inherent uncertainty in the process of establishing property and casualty loss reserves. Reserves are estimates based on actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time of what Grupo Pacífico ultimately expects to pay out on claims and the cost of adjusting those claims, based on the facts and circumstances then known. Factors affecting these projections include, among others, changes in medical costs, repair costs and regulation. Any negative effect on Grupo Pacífico could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our trading activities expose us to volatility in market prices, declines in market liquidity or fluctuations inforeign currency exchange rates, which may result in losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As part of our treasury operations, we may suffer losses related to the investments by BCP, ASB, Grupo Pacífico and Credicorp Capital, which trade various financial instruments and other assets, including debt, equity, fixed income, currency and related derivatives as both agent and principal, and we derive a portion of our non-financial income from trading revenues. Our Market Risk and Asset & Liability Management Policies set position limits for Nuevo Sol- and foreign currency-denominated securities. However, we are exposed to numerous factors that are beyond our control, including overall market trading activity, interest rate levels, the credit risk of our counterparties and general market volatility. In addition, a significant portion of our trading activity is related to customer transactions and we may still be exposed to a number of risks related to the movement of market prices in the underlying instruments, including the risk of unfavorable market price movements relative to our long or short positions, a decline in the market liquidity of the related instruments, volatility in market prices, interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates relating to these positions and the risk that the instruments with which we hedge certain positions do not track the market value of those positions. If we incur any losses from these exposures, it would reduce our trading activity revenues or cause us to suffer losses from trading activities, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Natural disasters in Peru could disrupt our businesses and affect our results of operations and financial conditions

We are exposed to natural disasters in Peru, such as earthquakes and mudslides. Earthquakes in Peru are common occurrences as the country is located in a seismic zone: the interface between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates. Peru has been adversely affected by earthquakes in the past, including an 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the central coast of Peru in 2007.

A natural disaster of this nature or any other type of disaster could impair our operational capacity, our business continuity plans include emergency response, disaster recovery, operations continuity, crisis management, data protection and recovery, and critical systems redundancy. Although we test our business continuity plans annually; these plans may prove to be ineffective which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry out our businesses, especially if incidence disaster affects computer-based data systems or destroys customer or other data. In addition, if a significant number of our employees were affected by the natural disaster, our ability to conduct business could be impaired.

Our subsidiary Grupo Pacífico is further exposed to risks associated with natural disasters in Peru as an insurance business. To protect Grupo Pacífico’s solvency and liquidity, our insurance business historically has obtained reinsurance for a substantial portion of its earthquake-related risks through automatic excess loss treaties; however, there can be no assurance that a major catastrophe would not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition or that our reinsurance policies will be an effective hedge against our exposure to risks resulting from natural disasters. Our current maximum catastrophic exposure, net of reinsurance is US$2 million dollars.

Regulatory changes to the private pension fund and banking system in Peru could impact our earnings and adversely affect our operating performance.

 

Prima AFP manages our Pension Fund Administration business. In Peru, private pension fund managers are closely regulated by the SBS. In 2012, the Peruvian Government adopted the Law to Reform the Private Pension System (SPP by its Spanish initials), looking for increased competition and efficiency and reducing administration costs. The law sets forth a new process by which individuals, which are called affiliates, may become beneficiaries affiliated with the SPP. Under the current regulatory framework, we collect commissions based onnew law, auctions are held every 24 month to determine which company will have the salaryexclusive right to manage the accounts of each subscribernew SPP affiliates for a two year period and to our pension funds. This commission-based system could be modified or eliminated by regulations. There are some options that are under analysis by a Commission such as fees based on the balance of funds under management by pension fund managers. Any regulations requiring us to use a different methodology to calculate fees could negatively impact our performance.conduct marketing campaigns for new SPP affiliates.

 

In October 2011,December 2012, there was held the Ministryfirst tender to determine who would manage the accounts of Finance namednew affiliates for a Technical Committee to propose changestwo year period. A new participant in regulation to increase private pension fund system coveragethe SPP won the tender, and promote competition. This Committee will present its findingsstarted operations on June 1, 2013. Prior to the Ministry, who willtender of affiliates, all four companies had the ability to conduct marketing campaigns and were able enroll new affiliates. In the second half of 2013, there was a decrease in turn propose regulatory changes that should be approvedthe level of new accounts in the SPP, and an increase in accounts of the Public Pension System (ONP by Congress. These changes in regulation could negatively affect our performance,its Spanish initials). Although this fact does not impact the results of operatingthe company, it may impact the long term growth and financial condition.coverage of the SPP.

 

The Law to Reform the Private Pension System will be implemented in phases. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—(B) Business Overview—(12) Supervision and Regulation—(vii) Prima AFP”.

Recent legislation regarding the financial services industry may subject us to significant and extensive regulation, which may have an impact on our operations.

Government measures to regulate the financial industry, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) of the United States are likely to increase our regulatory compliance burden and related costs. These and other regulatory developments are likely to impact Credicorp, and may require us to change certain aspects of our business practices and impose additional costs on us, ultimately having an impact on our operations. With respect to FATCA and Dodd Frank, Credicorp has hired outside consultants to help determine the impact that the implementation of these two laws will have on our institution. Based on our analysis to date, we do not expect the implementation of FATCA to have a material impact on our business given our limited number of U.S. accountholders. Also, we do not expect that the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, including the Volcker Rule and regulations related to swap transactions, will materially impact our business or cause us to incur material costs. However, until final implementations of the regulations under these new laws are issued, we cannot assure you of the extent of the impact these new laws will have on Credicorp.

 

We operate in a competitive banking environment that may limit our potential to grow, particularly in the medium term as more foreign banks establish or expand operations in Peru.

BCP has experienced increased competition, including increased pressure on margins. This is primarily a result of the presence of the following:

 

Highly liquid commercial banks in the market;

Local and foreign investment banks with substantial capital, technology, and marketing resources; and

Local pension funds that lend to BCP’s corporate customers through participation in those customers’ securities issues.

 

Larger Peruvian companies have gained access to new sources of capital through the local and international capital markets, and BCP’s existing and new competitors have increasingly made inroads into the higher margin, middle market and retail banking sectors. Such increased competition, with entrants who may have greater access to capital at lower costs, has affected BCP’s loan growth as well as reduced the average interest rates that BCP can charge its customers.

 

Competitors may also dedicate greater resources to, and be more successful in, the development of technologically advanced products and services that may compete directly with BCP’s products and services. Such competition would adversely affect the acceptance of BCP’s products and/or lead to adverse changes in the spending and saving habits of BCP’s customer base. If competing entities are successful in developing products and services that are more effective or less costly than the products and services developed by BCP, BCP’s products and services may be unable to compete successfully. BCP may not be able to maintain its market share if it is not able to match its competitors’ loan pricing or keep pace with their development of new products and services. Even if BCP’s products and services prove to be more effective than those developed by other entities, such other entities may be more successful in marketing their products and services than BCP because of their greater financial resources, higher sales and marketing capacity or other similar factors.

As a result of strong Peru’s economic growth, which has outpaced growth by nearby countries, several banks have sought and obtained authorization to open representative offices in Peru. Itaú Unibanco, Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior (Bladex), Morgan Stanley Bank, and Bank of Tokyo and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China are among those banks receiving authorization. With the increased competition, more individuals will have access to credit, and the percentage of the population using baking services will likely climb. This will eventually put downward pressure on interest rates. Any negative impact on BCP could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

FluctuationEconomic and volatilitymarket conditions in other countries may affect the Peruvian economy and the market price of capital markets and interest rates may decrease our net income.Peruvian securities.

Economic conditions in other countries may impact Peru’s GDP growth. Peru’s exports are highly concentrated in the oil and mining industry. This industry represents almost 20% of Peru’s total income tax revenues, and gold and copper alone constitute around 42.2% of Peru’s total exports. Therefore, an economic downturn in Peru’s major importers of mining goods may adversely affect Peru’s economic growth.

According to our estimates, nearly one fifth of the expected growth in Peru’s economy over the next year depends on economic conditions in China, which generates considerable demand for basic metals mined in Peru. An economic slowdown in China over the next several years may adversely affect the growth of the Peruvian economy as a result of lower exports, lower levels of foreign investment and lower tax revenues. The aforementioned could affect the growth of our business as these reflect on Peruvian economy.

A failure in, or breach of, our operational or security systems could temporarily interrupt our businesses, increasing our costs and causing losses.

We may suffer

The Corporate Information Security Program Framework of Credicorp is based on the ISO 27001 international security standard and the code of practice ISO 27002.

Through this framework we have defined and implemented governance with specific roles on risk and control assessment, monitor and awareness programs, security initiatives, ensuring business objectives, corporative alignment and compliance to regulatory requirements of banking, credit card, insurance and pension funds industry in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Panama, Cayman Island and the United States of America.

Although we have a strong IT infrastructure and high-skilled professionals managing IT operations, our risk exposure could be significant; we are still vulnerable to failure of our operational systems. This could temporarily interrupt our business, increasing our costs and causing losses. Temporary interruptions or failures in hardware and software that support our business and customer’s transactions could result mainly in regulatory fines, penalties, and reputational loss.

Credicorp have not experienced any material losses related to cyber attacks or operational stability. Credicorp is continuously working and investing resources in maintaining and updating control processes in order to prepare and adapt frequent change in new technologies, the investments by BCP, ASCH, Grupo Pacífico, Grupo Crédito (a wholly-owned subsidiaryuse of Credicorp)the Internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions and also the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers and other subsidiaries in fixed incomeexternal parties than can impact confidentiality, integrity, availability and equity securities,privacy on transmission and to their respective positions in currency markets, becausestorage of changes in market prices, defaults, fluctuations in market interest rates or exchange rates or other reasons. A downturn in capital markets may result in a decline in the value of our positions and lead us to register net losses. In addition, a downturn in capital markets could also lead to volatile prices and negative net revenues from trading positions, even in the absence of a general economic downturn.critical information.

Acquisitions and long-term interest rates,strategic partnerships may not perform as expected, which could cause a decrease in interest rates chargedhave an adverse effect on interest-earning assets, relative to interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Such an occurrence could adversely affect our business, financial condition by causing a decrease in net interest income.and results of operation.

 

ITEM 4.INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

Acquisitions and strategic partnerships, as those made in our investment banking and insurance businesses may not perform as expected since our assessment could be based on assumptions with respect to operations, profitability and other matters that may subsequently prove to be incorrect. Future acquisitions, investments and alliances may not produce the anticipated synergies or perform in accordance with our expectations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

(A)History and Development of the Company

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

4. A History and Development of the Company

 

We are a limited liability company that was incorporated in Bermuda on October 20, 1995 to act as a holding company, coordinate the policy and administration of our subsidiaries, and engage in investing activities. Our principal activity is to coordinate and manage the business plans of our subsidiaries in an effort to implement universal banking services and develop our insurance business, focusing on Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and BoliviaChile along with limited investments in other countries of the region. Our registered address is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Bermuda. The management and administrative office (i.e., principal place of business) in Peru of our subsidiary, Banco de Crédito del Perú, is located at Calle Centenario 156, La Molina, Lima 12, Peru, and the phone number is 51-1-313-2000.

 

As of December 31, 2011,2013, our total assets were US$30.740.8 billion and our net equity was US$3.54.4 billion. Our net income attributable to our equity holders in 20102011, 2012 and 20112013 was US$571.3709.3 million, US$788.8 million and US$709.3567.1 million, respectively. See “Item 3. Key Information—(A) Selected Financial Data” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”Prospects”.

 

We were formed in 1995 for the purpose of acquiring, through an exchange offer, the common shares of BCP, ASHC and PPS.Grupo Pacífico. We currently hold 97.7% of BCP, 97.7%98.5% of PPSGrupo Pacífico and 100% of ASHC. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—(C) Organizational Structure.”Structure”.

 

In February 2005, we were authorized by Peruvian regulatory authorities to establish Prima AFP, of which Grupo Crédito is the main shareholder. Prima AFP started operations in August 2005.

In August 2006, Prima AFP acquired Unión Vida AFP, which iswas a pension fund operating in the Peruvian market. Prima AFP’s acquisition of Unión Vida AFP, which was formerly held by Grupo Santander Perú S.A., was a strategic move toward consolidation as part of its efforts to gain a leading position in the pension fund market. As of the date of the acquisition, Prima AFP was the second largest pension fund company in terms of market share terms (defined as the amount of affiliates and assets under corporate management), with the second highest returns and the lowest commission for affiliates (who invest a portion of their salary each month). The merger between Prima AFP and Unión Vida AFP was consummatedsettled in December 2006.

 

In October 2009, BCP acquired from the Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere Inc. (CARE) – Perú, all the shares that this entity owned of Empresa Financiera Edyficar S.A. (Edyficar), representing 77.12% of Edyficar’s capital stock. In accordance with Peruvian legal requirements in effect at the time, BCP made a public offering to Edyficar’s minority shareholders to acquire the remaining 22.67% of the company’s stock. The total purchase price for the acquisition was US$96.1 million, including related direct acquisition costs. As of December 31, 20112013 BCP owned 99.79% of Edyficar.

 

In October 2010, the Credicorp group acquired American Life Insurance Company (ALICO)’s 20.1% and 38% stakes in PPSPacífico Seguros and Pacífico Vida, respectively. Pacífico Vida’s shares were acquired through Credicorp Ltd. and its subsidiary, Grupo Credito,Crédito, acquired PPS´Pacífico Seguros´s shares. Consequently, at the conclusion of this transaction, Credicorp and its subsidiary Grupo CreditoCrédito held 97.68% of Pacífico Seguros, and jointly controlled 100% of Pacífico Vida. The total investment amounted to approximately US$174 million, making it the largest transaction ever completed in the Peruvian insurance market. We expect the acquisition to permit the Credicorp group to realize synergies in its decision making process and through the integration of all its insurance business lines. The closer proximity between companies will also allow Grupo Pacífico to improve its value proposition to customers, who seek integral insurance solutions. On April 28, 2011, Credicorp transferred its 24% stake in Pacífico Vida to PPS.Pacífico Seguros. As a result of that transfer, PPSPacífico Seguros now directly owns 86% of the shares of Pacífico Vida, and Credicorp owns the remaining 14%. This transfer did not affect Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2010, Credicorp’s Board of Directors approved the transfer of 84.9% of BCP’s total shares to Grupo Crédito S.A. (its Peruvian wholly owned subsidiary) through a capital contribution, in order to facilitate Credicorp’s future investments in Peru without modifying the controlling structure of BCP. Under the new structure, Credicorp directly holds 12.7% of BCP’s total shares and, in conjunction with its subsidiary Grupo Crédito, continues to control the same 97.7% of such shares without modifying the internal governance structure. Before this change in ownership structure, dividends to Credicorp from its Peruvian subsidiaries, such as BCP, were remitted abroad and had to be remitted back to Peru when capital for new investments in the country were required. With the new structure, Grupo Crédito, which acts as the local holding company for some of Credicorp’s investments in Peru (Prima AFP, Grupo Pacífico and others), will manage Credicorp’s future Peruvian investments, and directly transfer the dividends to Credicorp when it is required to do so under Credicorp’s dividend policy. This modified organizational structure will not affect the way Credicorp and BCP manage their day-to-day operations, and Credicorp’s dividend policy has not changed as a result of this transaction.

 

In the second half of 2011, Pacíficosalud EPSfico Salud invested approximately US$82.7 million to create the largestits own private medical services network in Peru by acquiring majority shares to directly manage: (i) the El Golf, San Borja and Oncocare clinics in Lima, (ii) the Galeno clinic in Arequipa, (iii) Laboratorios ML, a clinical laboratory, and (iv) Doctor+, which is a house call/ambulance service. In 2012, Pacífico Salud invested US$38.6 million to increase its integrated insurance and health providing services by acquiring: (i) Clínica Belén S.A., (ii) Centro Odontológico Americano, (iii) Prosemedic S.A., (iv) Clínica Sánchez Ferrer S.A. and Inversiones Marsfe S.R.L., and (v) Bio Pap Service S.A.C. We believe that these acquisitions enable Pacificosalud EPSPacífico Salud to directly benefit from this sector’s growth and to strategically defend against potential changes in the healthcare service supply chain, where vertical integration in the insurance business is becoming more frequent.

 

During 2012, Credicorp, as part of the strategic plan, initiated the creation of a regional investment banking platform. On November 30, 2011,April 27, 2012, Credicorp, through its subsidiary BCP, reached an agreement with the shareholders ofacquired a 51% stake in Credicorp Capital Colombia (formerly Correval S.A. Sociedad Comisionista de Bolsa,Bolsa), a brokerage entity established in Bogota, Colombia, to acquire a 51 percent stake in such entity for approximately US$76.572.3 million. To date the acquisition was approved by the relevant regulatory authorities in ColombiaIn June 2013, BCP transferred its shares to Credicorp Capital Ltd., without affecting Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements and Peru and the precedent conditions were fulfilled. Hence the settlement of the transaction will take place in the upcoming days.

Alsowithout recording any gain or loss. On July 31, 2012, Credicorp, through its subsidiary BCP, on April 23, 2012 reachedacquired 60.6% of IM Trust S.A. (IM Trust, Corredores de Bolsa), an agreement in principle with the shareholders of IMTrust S.A., a brokerageinvestment banking entity established in Santiago, Chile, for approximately US$131.5 million, of which US$110.9 million was paid in cash consideration at the acquisitions date and US$20.6 million was paid in cash in July 2013. In November 2012, BCP transferred its shares to acquire 60.6 percentCredicorp Capital Ltd., without affecting Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements and without recording any gain or loss. For the investment banking operations in Peru, we created Credicorp Capital Perú S.A.A. (formerly BCP Capital), a company incorporated in Peru that was established in April 2012 through the split of an equity block of BCP. This split resulted in a reduction of BCP’s assets, liabilities and net equity in an amount of US$71.2 million, US$18.0 million and US$53.2 million, respectively. Assets transferred included Credicorp Capital Bolsa, Credicorp Capital Titulizadora, Credicorp Capital Fondos and BCP’s investment banking activities. The equity block split had no effect in Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements; no gains or losses arose from it.

In 2012, we established Credicorp Capital Ltd. in Bermuda to hold the Group’s investment banking activities in Chile, Colombia and Peru. As of December 31, 2013, Credicorp Capital held directly and indirectly 60.6% of IM Trust and 51.0% of Credicorp Capital Colombia. As of December 31, 2013, IM Trust’s assets, liabilities, equity and net income amounted to US$165.8 million, US$121.4 million, US$44.4 million and US$4.8 million, respectively (US$311.8 million, US$259.5 million, US$52.3 million and US$17.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012); and Credicorp Capital Colombia’s assets, liabilities, equity and net income amounted to US$392.6 million, US$343.2 million, US$49.4 million and US$7.4 million, respectively (US$1,164.9 million, US$1,119.1 million, US$45.8 million and US$3.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012).

At Credicorp’s shareholder meeting held on September 11, 2013, the Company agreed to increase Credicorp Capital Ltd’s share capital in the Company by US$3.9 million in exchange for 100% of the share value of Credicorp Capital Securities Inc., which Credicorp Ltd. controls. Credicorp Capital Securities Inc. is incorporated in the United States of America and provides securities brokerage services, mainly to retail customers in Latin America.

On March 20, 2014, Credicorp, through its subsidiary Empresa Financiera Edyficar S.A., acquired 60.68% stake of Mibanco, Banco de la Microempresa S.A., a local bank that specialized in the micro and small entities sector, for approximately S/. 504.8 million or US$179.5 million, in cash. On April 8, 2014, Grupo Crédito S.A. and Empresa Financiera Edyficar S.A., subsidiaries of Credicorp Ltd., acquired from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and additional 6.5% of stake in such entityMibanco (5% Grupo Crédito S.A. and 1.5% Empresa FInanciera Edyficar S.A.).

We conduct our wholesale banking, treasury, and retail banking and wealth management activities primarily through BCP, the largest (in terms of total assets, loans, deposits, net equity and net income) full-service Peruvian commercial bank, and our ASB private banking and asset management firm. We conduct our pension fund business through Prima AFP (the second largest Peruvian pension fund in terms of funds under management, collections and monthly insurable remuneration (or RAM by its Spanish initials) and our insurance activities through Grupo Pacífico, which is the second largest Peruvian insurance company in terms of premiums, fees and net income.

Primarily as a result of the strong microeconomic environment in Perú in 2011,In 2013, we recorded net income after minority interestsinterest of US$567.1 million (US$788.8 million in 2012 and US$709.3 million which was 24.2% higher thanin 2011). The 2013 result reflected a decrease of 28.1% in our net income in 2010. Thiscomparison to 2012’s result, reflectedprimarily as a consequence of the strong performanceimpact of allthe devaluation of local currency against the U.S. Dollar, losses due to market issues, and one-off expenses. These factors were equivalent to approximately US$203.2 million of losses that reduced our subsidiaries.net income:

i)A translation loss of US$114.1 million generated by the capital position held in local currency;
ii)A loss of US$43.5 million on the valuation of forward contracts, which was also associated with the capital position in local currency;
iii)A US$11.5 million loss on valuations from our trading securities portfolio due to a shift in the interest rate on the U.S. Dollar and BCP’s position in sovereign bonds (Peru, Colombia and Brazil);
iv)Approximately US$5.4 million of provisions related to additional reserves that must be set aside to cover future administrative costs for claims’ management (unallocated loss adjustment expense, ULAE);
v)A loss of US$14.4 million due to an impairment, which was attributable to a valuation of IM Trust (according to IFRS standards); and
vi)Other one-off expenses of US$14.4 million related to payments to SUNAT and Essalud from previous periods; contingents in Bolivia; asset withdrawal relative to assets used for system and installation development.

Our total assets grewamounted to US$30.7 billion as of December 31,in 2011, an 8.2% increase from the US$28.440.8 billion in assets we held as of December 31, 2010. Our2012 and US$40.8 billion in 2013. The 0.1% increase in total assets in 2013 was primarily a result of the continued growth of our loan portfolio, which grew by 21.3%7.2% in 20112013 (compared to a growth of 24.2%23.1% in 2010, 9.9%2012 and 21.3% in 20092011), partially offsetting the 17.8% decrease in Investments available-for-sale (compared to a growth of 21.4% in 2012 and 27.8%57.0% in 2008), in line with the expansion of the Peruvian economy, which had GDP growth rate of 6.9% in 2011.2011). Our past-due andloan ratio (which includes loans under legal collection loancollection) was 2.25% at the end of 2013 (compared to a ratio wasof 1.75% at the end of 2012 and 1.50% at the end of 2011 (compared to a ratio of 1.47% at the end of 2010 and 1.6% at the end of 2009)2011). We had a coverage ratio of 200.6% (i.e., reserves for loans as a percentage of past-due loans) of 157.5% (compared to a ratio of 187.7% at the end of 2012 and 200.6% at the end of 2011), and our return on average net equity (ROAE) increased to 22.9%reached 13.1% in 20112013 (compared to 21.3%20.6% in 2010)2012 and 22.6% in 2011).

 

1.2 Banking segment

 

BCP

BCP’s year-end 20112013 net income totaled US$578.7 million,464.3million, which resulted in a contribution to Credicorp of US$ 564463.5 million. This earnings contribution was 21.5% higher30.2% lower than the 20102012 contribution (US$464.4663.7 million) and lower than the 2011 contribution of US$577.7 million. BCP’s financial performance in 2013 was mainly a productaffected by the volatility of our improved net interest income whichthe Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar. The evolution of the exchange rate during this period was unlike any other in turn attributable to an 18.1% increase in gross loans.the last 20 years, as the devaluation of the Nuevo Sol reached 9.6% against the U.S. Dollar. As a result, BCP registered a ROAE of 27.6%.16.0% in 2013.

 

The main drivers behindThere were factors that partially offset the good performance of BCP’s performance were:core business in 2013. These factors represented a total of US$181 million and were related to losses due to market issues and one-off expenses, including:

 

i)A translation loss of US$95.8 million that was generated by the capital position in local currency;
ii)A US$43.5 million loss on forward contracts, which was also related to the capital position in local currency;
iii)A loss of US$27 million due to shifts in interest rates on the U.S. Dollar and the position of BCP’s sovereign bonds (Peru, Colombia and Brazil);
iv)A loss of approximately US$ 5.6 million recorded for BCP in connection with the transfer of Credicorp Capital Colombia’s shares to Credicorp Capital, which resulted in no net gain/loss for the purposes of Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements; and
v)Other one-off expenses of US$8.9 million related to payments to SUNAT for previous periods and contingents in Bolivia.

•         the 25.3% increase

Performance in 2013 was primarily a result of:

a 13.7% growth in net interest income and dividends, which was attributableprimarily due to a 18.1% and a 22.0% growththe 7.5% expansion posted in gross loans and average daily balances, respectively;

•         the 2.5%(led by Wholesale Banking), which offset a significant increase in net provisions for loan losses (+20.0%) and interest expenses (+14.4%);

a 5.7% increase in main non-financial income (excluding gains on sales of securities and other income), due primarily to a 14.3%4.6% growth in fee income as well asfor banking service and a 33.1%9.6% increase in gains on foreign exchange transactions; and

•         translation gainstransactions as a result of US$ 34.5 million following a 4% appreciationmore volatile exchange rate in the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar, which exceeded the US$23.3 million gain reported in 2010.

2013 relative to 2012.

 

Performance in these areas enabled BCP to offset the company’s 22.6%20.0% increase in provisions for loan losses and 11.7%8.5% increase in operating expenses. The increase in provisions did not indicate a deteriorationis associated with the evolution of BCP’s Past-due-loans (PDL) portfolio qualityfor its SME and instead reflected the determinationcredit card segments. Retail banking segments have historically had higher levels of provisions requirements based on the upper limit of the range defined by IFRS compliant internal modeling of reserves.past-due loans and higher margins than other banking segments.

 

The higherincrease in BCP’s operating expenses werein 2013 was a result of BCP’s greaterhigher administrative expenses (+14.0%), which were in turn associated with system outsourcing and generalwith expenses to expand BCP’s network of distribution channels to cover a significant increase in transactional activity and further banking penetration. There was also an increase in other expenses (+55.9%) related to a lesser degree, higher salary expensespayments to SUNAT and employee benefits. These higher operating expenses were exacerbated byEssalud from previous periods and contingents in Bolivia.

The following table shows changes to the 4% appreciationprincipal assets of the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar over the course ofBCP from 2011 as a portion of BCP’s operating expenses are denominated in local currency.through 2013:

BCP’s total assets reacheddecrease was a result of the 7.7% reduction in the value of BCP’s investments, which offset the 7.3% increase in BCP’s loans net of provisions that totaled US$26.821.5 billion at the end of 2011, representing an increase of 5.8% over2013. Regarding to the previous year (US$25.3 billion). This increase in total assets was a result of the 17.9% expansion of BCP’s loans net of provisions, which totaled US$16.4 billion at the end of 2011. The loan portfolio constituted 61.2% of BCP’s total assets at the end of 2011. BCP’s total past-due loans reached US$258.3 million (23.5% higher than the US$209.1 million registered in 2010) while refinanced and restructured loans increased by 25.2%, from US$76.7 million in 2010 to US$96 million at the end of 2011. The composition of BCP’s loan portfolio in 2011 changed significantly. Asas of December 2011,31, 2013, the average daily balances in our retail banking operationsbusiness accounted for 46.6%51.0% (compared to 42%51.2% in December 2010)2012 and 46.9% at the end of 2011) and wholesale banking operationsbusiness accounted for 53.4%49.0% of BCP’s total portfolio (compared to 58%48.8% in December 2010). This outcome is a result2012 and 53.1% at the end of BCP’s strategic focus on increased market penetration in middle and lower segments, which are generally characterized by higher margins.2011).

The average daily balances of BCP’s wholesale banking loans grew by 11.8%11.9% in 2011 as2013 (12.1% in 2012 and 8.1% in 2011), while the local currency (LC) denominated wholesale banking portfolio grew 64.9% and the foreign currency (FC) denominated portfolio grew 2.1%. The expansion in the LC portfolio reflects our corporate clients’ reactions to a resultdevaluation of the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar and better loan conditions in LC due to a reduction in the reference rate and level reserve requirements, which allowed companies to migrate financing provided for large investments, inventoriesdrawn in FC in years past (in some cases with foreign institutions) or to take on new financing in the local market and working capital to keep pace with Peru’s dynamic economy.in Nuevos Soles. As a result, BCP continued to lead the Peruvian financial system with a market share of 44.3%43% for the corporate segment (46.5%(46.7% in 2010)2012 and 34.3%43.8% in 2011) and 34.5% for the middle market (34.1%(35.4% in 2010)2012 and 35.3% in 2011).

 

BCP’s retail banking portfolio continued its upward trend and grew 35%9.3% in 2011. In terms2013 (average daily balance), led by the SME segment, which reported growth of growth and yields, BCP’s small and medium enterprise (SME) loans were its best performing product, growing by 40.1% (measured11.9% in average daily balances)balances (including Edyficar). This allowed BCP to continue to lead this segment with a total volumemarket share of US$3.1 billion, followed24.6% at the end of 2013. Furthermore, the mortgage loan segment reported a 12.0% increase that was driven by a recovery in the real estate sector and BCP’s decision to focus on low income segments with products such as MiVivienda and Ahorro Local (described below). BCP continued to lead this segment with a market share of 33.1%. Finally, the consumer loan portfolio posted growth of 10.7% in average daily balances, which translated into a market share of 22.8%. The credit cards which grew 39.5% to US$809 million,card portfolio remained stable, with 1.1% growth in each case as of December 31, 2011. Consumer loans grew 34.3% to US$1.3 billion, while mortgages expanded 28.2%, totaling US$2.5 billion.2013.

 

On the liabilities side, BCP’s deposits reached US$17.6 billion on December 31, 2011 (a 4.5% increase from the previous year). This increase in deposits not only continues to reinforce BCP’s funding structure, as deposits account for 71.8%72.0% of all funding sources, but it also serves to maintain BCP’s status as an industry leader with a market share of 31.6%31.5%. It is importantThe expansion of deposits was due primarily to note that corean increase in savings deposits grew while time deposits fell 25.8%(+4.5%) and Severance Indemnity Deposits (CTS by its Spanish initials, +7.7%), a dynamic which favor cost of funds for BCP. Demandwas attributable to the campaigns held in these segments throughout the year. Time deposits were stable year-over-year and grew only 0.4%. Local currency deposits represented 49.5% of deposits at year-end, which falls below the 54.2% share reported for this line at the end of 2012. We attribute this reversal in the process of de-dollarization of deposits to the devaluation in the Nuevo Sol in 2013. The following table sets forth BCP’s largest deposit type, totaling US$6.3 billion as of December 31, 2011. Savingstotal deposits BCP’s second-largest deposit type, reached US$5.1 billion. Time deposits totaled US$4.2 billion while Severance Accounts, or CTS, totaled US$1.8 billion.from 2011 to 2013:

1.3 Insurance segment

Grupo Pacífico

In 2011,2013, Grupo Pacífico which encompassesintegrated by Pacífico Seguros Generales, Pacífico Vida and Pacíficosaludfico EPS, reported net income, after deducting minority interests, of US$33.1 million (US$58.9 million in 2012 and US$57.1 million (comparedin 2011). The decline in the result in comparison to US$55.42012’s figure was a consequence of: (i) the increase posted in the net loss ratio in Property and Casualty insurance (+5.9 bps) due to higher costs for claims processing in the automobile insurance line; (ii) the 11.3% increase in general expenses (US$ 194.5 million versus US$ 174.8 million in 2012) mainly due to growth in medical subsidiaries as well as higher expenses in the Property and Casualty business (growth in new channels and system development); and finally (iii) the translation effect that generated a variation of net income–206.8% (US$ -7.9 million against US$7.4 million in 2010)2012). However, theThe contribution we received from Grupo Pacífico increased, from a gain ofwas US$48.240 million in 2010 to a gain of2013 (US$66.4 million in 2012 and US$65.6 million in 2011.2011).

In terms of premium turnover, Pacifico Grupo Asegurador reported direct premiums of US$ 1,136 million and net earned premiums for US$ 807.5 million, which represent an increase of 11.4% and 11.5% respectively with regard to 2012. This growth in turnover was evident in three businesses: PPS (US$ 50.7) million, 12.1% growth), EPS (US$ 31.7 million 15.0% growth) and PVIDA (US$ 32.4 million 8.2% growth).

Performance in 2013 can be explained as follows:

Pacifico Seguros Generales reported a loss of – US$ 1.4 million, which contrasts with earnings of US$ 13.7 million in 2012. This result was due to an increase in the loss ratio in the automobile insurance line (66.9% in 2013 versus 50% in 2012) due to higher costs for claims processing in the market and the difficulty of increasing rates due to market competition in the automobile insurance business. A translation loss was also reported, which generated a –US$ 6.4 million variation in the result (US$ 2.7 million reported in 2012 versus –US$ 3.7 million in 2013). These effects were partially mitigated by an increase in financial income associated with real estate sales (Oeschle US$ 5.3 million and Curacao US$ 7.7 million) and the sale of a shares in Inversiones Centenario for US$ 8.2 million.

Pacífico’sfico Vida reported net earnings in 2013 of US$ 50.3 million versus US$ 59.6 million in 2012. This drop was due primarily to a translation loss, which generated a variation of –US$ 11.4 million (US$ 5.3 million reported in 2012 versus -US$ 6.1 million in 2013). The underwriting result in 2011,2013 was -US$ 0.3 million versus US$ 1.5 million in 2012, which reflects the company’s core business performance for the year, was US$100.4 million, which representeddue to an increase in claims (group life, annuities and credit life), higher commissions (credit life) and higher underwriting expenses that offset the increase in premiums in 2013 (8.2%). It is important to note that financial income increased 9.6% in 2013, which offset the 11.0% increase in general expenses. Net earnings before translation totaled US$ 56.3 million versus US$ 54.4 million last year.

Pacífico EPS reported net earnings totaled US$ 4.6 million in comparison to a loss of 9.1% compared to 2010’s figure.-US$ 4.3 million in 2012. This improvement was mainlyimproved result is due to a 16%decrease in the net loss ratio (82.6% versus 83.6% 2012), which was due to the application of adequate underwriting policies. These policies will remain in place in coming years to guarantee that loss ratios remain within adequate levels. It is also important to mention the growth of +14.7% in the net earned premium (+US$ 31.0 million), the -11.7% drop in general expenses (-US$ 2.9 million), and a positive translation result (+US$ 1.9 million). This effect was offset by an increase in premiums fromincome tax (US$ 2.9 million versus US$752 0.5 million in 20102012).

Additionally, during 2013, Pacífico EPS continued its initiative (originally launched in 2011), to create the largest private medical services network in Peru by investing an additional US$87230.0 million to acquire clinics specialized in 2011.providing health and wellness programs and other infrastructure and medical equipment. Clinics acquired by Pacífico EPS as a part of this initiative are grouped under the new umbrealla brand name SANNA. We believe that these acquisitions will enable Pacífico EPS to directly benefit from this sector’s growth and to strategically defend against potential changes in healthcare service supply chain, as where vertical integration in the insurance business is becoming more common.

 

We believe that there is substantial growth potential in Peru’s insurance market, given the industry’s weaklow market penetration. Efficiency, and risk management and capitalize on synergies between the insurance business and the distribution channels will continue to be key indicators in measuring Grupo Pacífico’s performance. Efficiently utilizingThese factors will lead Grupo Pacífico to increase penetration in the BCPinsurance market. Also, developing alternative sales channels, efficiently using BCP’s network, is anmaintaining relationships and market share through traditional brokerage channels, and expanding services in underserved regions of Peru are essential componentcomponents of Grupo Pacífico’s growth strategy 2011, as we believe thatfor 2014.

Grupo Pacífico’s growth strategy for 2014 will focus on operating efficiency, risk management, capitalizing on synergies between the insurance businessbusinesses and theCredicorp, optimizing distribution channels and expanding services in underserved regions of the banking business will lead Grupo Pacífico to greater penetration in the insurance market.Peru.

In 2013, the volume of new accounts into the SPP totaled 249,000, representing a decline of 32.0% with regard to 2012.

(2) Strategy

 

Credicorp was established to create a financial group that would benefit from synergies among the group’s companies and would become a leader within each business market in which the companies operate. In moving steadily toward achievingoperate to maximize our shareholders’ return on equity. To achieve these strategic goals, over the last several years, Credicorp has focused on consolidating its position as Peru's leading financial group and expanding its horizons abroad through its Latin American investment banking platform.

Credicorp’s strategic Pillars

To achieve sustainable growth while maximizing our shareholders’ capital return we focused on our long-term strategy, which is based on three pillars: i) efficiency, ii) risk management and iii) growth.

Efficiency

Credicorp initiated an efficiency initiative with two approaches, one tactical that is the Continuous Improvement Program and the Efficiency Program.

The Continuous Improvement Program is designed to improve efficiency throughout Credicorp by promoting consciousness in our management of expenses and investments. This approach is based on: i) productivity management; ii) the establishment of new mechanisms for approving, managing and reporting budget execution; and iii) process improvement. The Continous Improvement Program will be based on the Jaw concept; this means it will be focused on managing the gap between income growth and expenses growth, in an effort to achieve higher growth in income than in expenses.

The Efficiency Program is designed address five different strategic areas. The first is our product portfolio. Under the program, we will reduce the complexity of our product portfolio and manage each product based on productivity and client satisfaction. The second area is our service model. Uner the program, we will evaluate our footprint and formats, channel efficiency and multichannel strategy. The third strategic area comprises our organization and support functions. With respect to this area, we will evaluate how are we are organized, including the span of control, the decision network and the number of layers in our operating units. The fourth strategic area includes operations and IT. In this area we will define key processes and optimize our operational model. The fifth strategic area is culture. Through this strategic area, we eill seek to instill the concept of efficient growth as a core value in our organization’s culture.

Risk Management

This strategic pillar of Credicorp’s strategy is based on the corporate principles approved by the Corporate Governance Committee: involvement of executive management; independence of the risk functions; corporate governance, including risk appetite, corporate risk policies, and risk-adjusted performance measures; and sufficiency and quality of resources dedicated to the risk management role.

Credicorps is committed to apply best practices to assess, quantify and manage the different risks to which we are exposed to, such as credit, market, compliance and operational, reputational, and insurance underwriting risks. We are constantly fine-tuning our models for risk management and our stress-testing methodologies. Our strategy is based on implementing an advanced and fully integrated risk management approach to achieve sustainable growth and enhanced profitability.

In the area of credit risk management, we have become a leading financial group. However, we do not operate in a static environment,implemented enhanced risk-adjusted pricing models and in-house credit models (origination, scoring, behavioral and collection models) that maximize the last three years have demonstrated how quicklyuse of our proprietary information and dramatically the world can change. Peru’s economic growth slowed significantly in 2009 as a result of the international financial crisis. In response to this, we took steps toward improving our long-term sustainability and worked to position our companies for growth asKnowledge about the Peruvian market continues to evolve. In 2010 Peru’s economy returned to the dynamism it showed in the pre-crisis period,system. These are essential sources of competitive advantage. We have also developed a risk monitoring process that provides a timely and we continued,comprehensive picture of risk exposures across risk types and completed in many cases, the implementation of various initiatives that were designed to ensure the sustainability of Credicorp’sfrom multiple business segments.

 

TheGrowth

Our strategic consolidations in Peru aim to capture the potential that the Peruvian market offers as one of the strongest growth opportunities in South America. In the banking, insurance and pension fund industries, market penetration by service providers remains low. Accordingly, our business plans incorporate strategies that will enable usare designed to reach underserved segments of the Peruvian population and achieve higher returns on our capital. As

In addition, our businesses expand, it becomes increasingly importantexpansion abroad aims to capitalize on BCP’s in-depth knowledge of Peru’s business community and financial markets and its extensive experience in the Peruvian capital market. Regional integration, such as the MILA initiative (a Latin-American integrated market among Chile, Colombia and Peru), has opened up additional opportunities for us to maximize efficienciesfurther integrate our capital markets and control risk. Our strengthinvestment banking operations. Regional integration has also enlarged business fields for companies, who like us, have an important presence in many of these areas ismarkets. Consistent with our strategic efforts to expand and generate synergies amd generate synergies, we have partnered with two high-performing organizations, Correval in Colombia and IM Trust in Chile that have allowed Credicorp to create a regional business platform in the cornerstone ofsales and trading, asset management and corporate finance businesses. Trough this strategic partnership, we intend to boost our cross-border businesses.

In the banking business, we will continue to implement our strategy to enter different segments of retail banking, with particular emphasis on the SME segment in particular. We will use risk and collections models that are calibrated and aligned with pricing models designed to achieve healthy, sustainedthe profitability we seek. As mentioned above, on March 20, 2014, Credicorp through its subsidiary Edyficar acquired one of the leading SME institutions, Mibanco, as part of Credicorp’s strategy to continue growing this business segment. In the near term, we will be focused on the integrating SME services into Edyficar’s business operations.

In the insurance business, Credicorp sees significant growth potential in the insurance business, and profitable growth.to capture that potential we are taking a series of measures to recover profitability in the car insurance line through operating improvements and by setting risk-adjusted prices. In the Property and Casualty business, we are implementing an efficient reinsurance scheme and are strengthening our “bancassurance” products. We will also begin a stage of business consolidation in our healthcare services business to progressively increase the returns on the investments we make on this business.

In the pension fund business, the strategy of medium and long term is to maintain the attractiveness and profitability of the business by growing efficiently with a thorough risk management. The focus is on providing affiliates adequate profitability of their funds, advisory service and excellent level of information and service channels according to our clients’ needs. For the aforementioned, the management of pension funds will be strengthened with the incorporation of best international practices

In the investment banking platform, we will continue to consolidate Credicorp Capital’s regional position to capture the growth strategies we have adopted for eachpotential of our companies include a focus on retail markets. Our strategy provides a launching pad for two points of financial inclusion: our Agente BCP covers the liabilities’ side by promoting banking penetrationthree main business lines (asset management, sales and the subsequent point for access to credit, which gives low income sectors the opportunity to improve standards of livingtrading, and become part of the country’s economic model for growth. Using our collective resources, we are developing information systems that can collect commercial sales information and provide us with the data we need to process scoring models by segment. This will enhance our ability to assess and control risk, as well as cross-selling our products between our business segments.

Another strategic focus for Credicorp involves the regionalization of Latin American market, which has picked recently increased in relevance due to problem in developed markets. This has been reflectedcorporate finance) in the creationcapital markets of the MILA (Integrated Latin American Market), which we believe provides strong possibilities for growth. The integration of equity trading in Chile, Colombia and Peru has created the largest exchange in Latin America by number of issuers and the second-largest exchangeLatin American region in Latin America by market capitalization after the Brazilian BM&F Bovespa. Credicorp has seized this opportunity by:

·reaching an agreement with the shareholders of Correval S.A. Sociedad Comisionista de Bolsa, one of Colombia’s most important brokerage firms (achieving nearly 12% of market share during the last four years for all of its products), to acquire 51 percent stake, a transaction that to date was approved by the relevant regulatory authorities in Colombia and Peru and the precedent conditions were fulfilled, hence the settlement of the transaction will take place in the upcoming days; and

·reaching an agreement in principle with the shareholders of IMTrust S.A., a brokerage entity established in Santiago, Chile, to acquire 60.6 percent stake in such entity, subject to the completion of a due diligence process, and approval from the supervisors in Chile and Peru, among other precedent conditions.

This acquisitions reflect our commitment to concretize our regional presence in the investment banking and capital markets sectors.general.

 

We also continue to make strides toward greater integration of our companies by more extensively sharing our talents and experience.

Outlook for 2012

We expect that the favorable economic conditions in Peru that characterized 2011 will continue in 2012. Throughout the year, we will continue to take a development-oriented approach, preparing for changes in the Peruvian market, which is expected to have high growth rates in the upcoming years. Given the low levels of penetration in Peru’s banking and insurance markets, we believe that our subsidiaries will be well positioned to expand. Our high equity levels, technical and professional expertise and strong relationships built on the trust of our customers are all indicative of a positive outlook for the Company.

The Wholesale Banking GroupWBG is divided into the following areas:two divisions:

 

Corporate Banking, which provides loans and other credit and financial services to companies with annual revenues in excess of US$50 million;International Division (CID):

°WGB’s corporate banking subdivision, which provides loans and other credit and financial services, focuses on serving large-sized companies that have an annual turnover of over US$100 million, corporate governance, audited financial statements and dominant market positions in their particular brands or product areas. Even if clients do not meet any of these criteria, the CID may provide services to firms under this category if they belong to a large economic group of an industry that is important to Peru’s economy.
°WGB’s international banking and leasing subdivision manages BCP’s relationship with financial institutions (locally and abroad), trade products, international operational services and financial leasing products.

Cash management and transactional services, which develop products and services to support clients’ daily activities of cash management, collections, payments, and investments, among others.
°WGB’s middle-market banking subdivision serves mid-sized companies. In determining which clients are best served by this subdivision, WBG considers a mix of different characteristics, such as annual revenues, financial leverage, overall debt and product penetration and complexity. BCP’s middle-market clients’ annual revenues generally vary from US$8 million to US$100 million, and are serviced nationwide by 13 BCP regional managers.
°WGB’s institutional banking subdivision focuses principally on serving profit and non-profit organizations, state-owned companies and other major institutions.

 

Net interest income from the wholesale banking sectorBCP’s WBG reached US$260 million in 2011, US$284 million in 2012 and US$321 million in 2013.

As a result, BCP’s corporate banking direct creditsloans grew from US$5,1555,359 million in 2011 to US$5,4775,624 million from 2010 to 2011,in 2012 and income from financial services increased by 21%, from US$686,355 million to US$83 million.in 2013. These increases, coupled with a very low defaultPDL ratio (less than 0.1%), enabled the Corporate Banking AreaCID to meet its financial targets withobtain a net interest and fee income of US$247.6 million in 2013, which represents 46.7% of the total net income of the WBG. The CID obtained a net interest and fee income of US$110 217.3 million an increase of 57% over thein 2012 and US$70 204.3 million of net income achieved in 2010.

Client Profile: The Corporate Banking Area is focused on serving large-sized companies that have an annual turnover of over US$50 million, audited financial statements and dominant market positions in their particular brands or product areas. Even if they do not meet the above criteria, BCP may classify other firms in this category if they belong to very large economic groups from industries that are important to Peruvian economy.2011.

 

The Corporate Banking Areamoderate pace of the CID’s growth is due to (i) intense competition from foreign banks, which finance their operations at lower costs due primarily to the fact that our monetary authority has high reserve requirements for foreign currency for local banks, and (ii) the availability of alternative financing through capital markets, especially in the international capital markets. Nevertheless, BCP has a leading position in the Peruvian banking system with the 46.7% of the market share for loans.

The CID offers a broad range of products and tailors its product offerings to meet each client’s unique requirements. In general, this areadivision is expected to offer high-value-added products, advisory and financial services, particularly cash management services,solutions, at competitive prices.

 

The majority of the Corporate Banking Area’sCID’s financing is provided to fund capital expenditures and investments, sales, international trade and inventories. The Area alsoTo finance capital expenditures, the CID offers medium and long term financing, (in almost all cases backed by real guarantees), financial leasing, factoring,lease and domestic collections and nationwide fund transfers.project finance.

 

Additionally, CorporateInternational Banking clients can obtain investment banking, advisory and financing services through the Corporate Finance Area, which operates as part of the Wholesale Banking Group and also serves significant middle-market banking clients.Unit

 

Guarantees received by this area consist of (i) receivables in the case of sales financing, (ii) warrants or pledges over inventory, in the case of inventory financing and (iii) real guarantees, in the case of financing for fixed asset acquisitions and improvements to their infrastructure.

We believe that prospects for growth in this business are limited, due to high market penetration (45.9%) and increasing competition against direct loans resulting from increased capital markets activity.

Middle-Market Banking

BCP’s Middle Market Banking Area provides banking services targeted to medium-sized companies from various economic sectors. The products offered to middle-market clients are similar to those offered to corporate banking clients. The three major types of products are:

Revolving credit lines to finance working capital needs, international trade financing;
Stand-by letters of credit and bond guarantees; and

Structured financing for long-term and medium term requirements, through direct loans or financial leasing.

BCP has identified several opportunities to engage middle market companies, particularly in Peru’s manufacturing, wholesale, retail, fishing and construction industries. BCP has created dedicated areas which focus on attending to the needs of these specific economic groups. BCP has a middle market client portfolio of approximately 7,000 companies, including 1,173 economic groups. Generally, these clients are not listed on any stock exchange; however in certain cases they have accessed the capital market either for bonds or commercial paper. These companies are typically family-controlled but professionally managed; their financial information is audited.

Since 2009, the Middle-Market Banking Area has revised its customer segmentation policies. The Area includes mature companies that will eventually become part of our corporate segment, traditional mid-size companies and a group of growing small cap companies. In selecting which small companies are best suited for service by our Middle-Market Banking Area, we consider a mix of different characteristics, such as annual revenues, financial leverage, overall debt and product penetration and complexity. BCP’s middle-market clients’ annual revenues generally vary from US$6.7 million to US$50 million, and are serviced nationwide by 13 BCP regional managers.

The Middle-Market Banking Area made has continued to make significant progress toward implementing its strategic goals by:

Creating dedicated points of contact to meet the needs of its customers more efficiently;

Streamlining its lending processes to provide middle market customers with prompt service;

Introducing new electronic financial products to make its services more accessible to customers;

Incorporating sophisticated technical tools in order to implement a risk-based pricing model;

Focusing on fee income, and loan portfolio growth; and

Introducing a new commercial planning model that employs an efficient and standardized methodology.

According to internal reports, in 2011 net income from the Middle-Market Banking Area increased to US$87 million. This was the result of an increase in net interest income (loans and deposits) of 33% and in fee income of 13%. The Middle-Market Banking Area’s annual average loan portfolio had a market share of 34.5%, (US$2,930 million), making BCP the leading bank in its segment.

We believe that middle market companies have benefited significantly from the overall economic improvements in Peru over the past few years. Loan quality problems have been addressed through procedures and organizational changes that have focused on improving the loan approval and credit-risk assessment processes.

low levels of penetration in the financial market,market;
increasing demand for housing,housing;
availability of funds for the Peruvian government’s MiVivienda low-income housing programprogram; and
the current economic outlook for controlled inflation and economic growth in Peru.

In May 2006, the original MiVivienda program was terminated. However, local banks (with governmentalgovernment approval) launched a similar project, known as MiVivienda2, to which proprietary funds contribute. In addition, in March 2007, BCP created a new program financed by the government called Mi Hogar, which targeted people with a lower income profile. The conditions of the new program are almost identical to those of the first MiVivienda program, except that all financing is in local currency. In June 2009, the MiVivienda administration decided to re-launch its newPeruvian government re-launched the MiVivienda program with the objective of financing mortgages between US$17,00019,000 and US$60,00095,000 using government funds (the government offers guarantees to the lending bank or financial institution through Corporación Financiera de Desarrollo S.A., COFIDE).

Along with this growth, Credicorp has experienced an increase in the volume of mortgage loans it grants per year. Mortgage loans are associated with low losses because of their low LTV, and they have the added benefit of generating opportunities for cross selling other banking products, which has had a positive impact on Credicorp’s results of operations because of the increase in volume of loans granted per year, the cross-selling that the product allows, and the low expected losses considering the high LTV of the products.operations.

4.4 Lending Policies and Procedures

 

The Bank has adopted a risk appetite framework and established objective metrics and thresholds to periodically monitor the Bank´s evolving risk profile. The framework was approved by the Board of Directors, and will be managed and monitored by the Risk Management unitUnit within the Bank’s Central Risk Management division.Group. The adoption of a risk appetite framework representsreflects the Bank´s guiding commitment to alignaligning its forward-looking business strategy with its corporate risk vision.

 

BCP’s uniform credit policies and approval and review procedures are based upon conservative criteria and are uniformly applied to all of its subsidiaries. These policies are administered in accordance with guidelines established by the Peruvian financial sector laws and SBS regulations. (See “—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation—(ii) BCP,” and the guidelines set forth by our board of directors.)

 

BCP’s credit approval process is based primarily on thean evaluation of each borrower’s repayment capacity and commercial and banking references. BCP determines a corporate borrower’s repayment capacity by analyzing the historical and projected financial condition of the company and of the industry in which it operates. Other important factors that BCP analyzes include the company’s current management, banking references, past experiences in similar transactions, and the quality of any collateral to be provided.

 

For the evaluation of BCP’s corporate borrowers, credit officers analyze the client’s ability to repay obligations, determine the probability of default of the client using an internal risk rating model, and define the maximum credit exposure that BCP wants to hold with the client.

 

BCP’s individual and small business borrowers are evaluated taking into accountby considering the client’s repayment capacity, for repayment, a documented set of policies (including, among other issues, the client’s financial track record), and, in most cases, credit scores, which assign loan-loss probabilities relatedrelative to the expected return of each market segment. In BCP, about 80% of credit cardcredit-card and consumer loanconsumer-loan application decisions are made bythrough automatic means. The complement, mortgageMortgage and small business loan applications decisions are made by credit officers who use credit scores and profitability models as an inputinputs for their evaluations and report to a centralized unit.

 

SuccessOur success in small business and personal lending areas depends largely on BCP’s ability to obtain reliable credit information about prospective borrowers. The SBS has an extensive credit bureau which has expanded its credit exposure database service to cover businesses orand individuals withthat have borrowed any amount borrowedamounts from Peruvian financial institutions. This database includes information on the loan risk category in which the borrowers are classified:classifications for each borrower: “Normal,” “Potential Problem,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss.”

 

BCP has a strictly enforced policy with respect tothat limits the lending authority of its loan officers. It also has procedures to ensure that these limits are adhered to before a loan is disbursed. Under BCP’s credit approval process, the lending authority for middle market, small business, and personal loans is centralized into a specialized credit risk analysis area, whosewhich is operated by officers that have been grantedspecific lending limits. ToIn addition to the controls built into the loan approval workflow systems, the credit department and BCP’s internal auditors regularly examine credit approvals to ensure that loan officers and credit analysis officers are complying with lending policies, the credit department and BCP’s internal auditors regularly examine credit approvals, in addition to the controls built into the loan approval workflow systems.policies.

 

The following table briefly summarizes BCP’s policy on lending limits for loan officers and credit risk analysis officers. Requests for credit facilities in excess of the limits set forth below are reviewed by BCP’s general manager,COO, executive committee or, if the amount of the proposed facility is sufficiently large, board of directors.

BCP believes that an important factor in maintaining the quality of its loan portfolio is the selection and training of its loan and risk officers. BCP requires loan officers to have degrees in economics, accounting or business administration from competitive local or foreign universities. In addition, training is based on a three-month “Bank Specialization Program”. Trainees in this program are taught all aspects of banking and finance. After the training program consists of a six-month rotation through all of the business-related areas of BCP and the credit risk analysis area. After the training period is over,finishes, trainees are assignedhired as assistants to loanloans officers for a period of at least one year before they can be promoted to loan officers.and receive specialized training in credit risk. Loan officers also receive additional training in specific matters throughout their careers at BCP.BCP and also through a comprehensive training program called “Triple AAA”. Laterally-hired officers generally are generally required to have previously held positionsprior experience as loan officers.

 

BCP operates in substantial part as a secured lender. As of December 31, 2011,2013, approximately US$9.412.7 billion of our loan portfolio and contingent credits were secured by collateral, which represents 48.9%51.4% of the total loan portfolio based upon our unconsolidated figures, as compared to 45.4%49.6% in 20102012 and 47.9%48.9% in 2009.2011. 

 

Liquid collateral is a small portion of theBCP’s total collateral. In general, when BCP requires collateral for the extension of credit, it requires collateral valued at between 110% and 150% of the principal amount of the facilitiescredit facility granted. The appraisal of illiquid collateral, in particular real estate assets, machinery and equipment, is performed by independent experts when required for specific reasons.

 

ThePursuant to a Peruvian regulation (Article 222° under Law 26702) that became effective in December 1998, the existence of collateral does not affect the loan classification process according to regulations in effect as of December 1998. Pursuant toprocess. For Peruvian banking law,accounting purposes, secured loans or(or the portion thereofof any loans covered by collateral,collateral) that are classified in Class “B,” “C,” or “D” risk categories considered as substandard loans (See “Item 4. Information on the Company- (B) Business Overview - (13) Selected Statistical Information -(iii) Loan Portfolio - Classification of the Loan Portfolio”) have a lower loan loss provision requirement for Peruvian accounting purposes.than similar unsecured loans. If a borrower is classified as substandard or below, then BCP’s entire credit exposure to that borrower is so classified.

 

BCP conducts unannounced internal audits on borrowers’ financial statements, consistent with the local banking regulationregulations of the different jurisdictions in which it operates.

 

4.5 Deposits

 

Deposits are principally managed by BCP’s retail banking group.Retail Banking Group. The main objective of BCP’s Retail Banking Group operations has historically been to develop a diversified and stable deposit base in order to provide a low-cost source of funding. This deposit base has traditionally been one of BCP’s greatest strengths. BCP has historically relied on the more traditional, stable, low cost deposit sources, which it considers to be its core deposits: time, demand deposits, savings and CTS deposits. CTS deposits, or Severance Indemnity Deposits, are funded by companies in the name of their employees. CTS deposits amount to one month’s salary per year and may be withdrawn by the employee only upon termination of employment, or upon transfer to another bank, subject to certain exceptions. Exceptions include disposing of 40% of the CTS deposit made in May 2010 and 30% of CTS deposit made in November 2010. Since the year 2011, employees mayhave been able to dispose 70% of the excess of six gross monthly remunerations.

 

As of December 31, 2011,2013, deposits represented 71.8%72.0% of BCP’s total source funding. BCP’s extensive branch network facilitates access to this typesource of stable and low-cost funding. BCP’s corporate clients are also an important source of funding for BCP.

Developing training programs in order to educate employees about the standards in effect for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.

Corporate Compliance System

In order to ensure proper compliance with any new and changing laws and regulations, our efforts focus on the identification of such new or changed requirements affecting the business lines of the corporation, and sets internal deadlines such that implementation of relevant compliance processes occur in accordance with each new obligation.

In addition, the Corporate Compliance System has a risk-based approach, which focuses on reducing the level of exposure to fines or other penalties that can also negatively impact the reputation of the corporation.

Furthermore, there are specific compliance programs for those considered high impact standards for the organization, and which require a comprehensive focus to its proper implementation, among which we can highlight the following:

Protection of Personal information
Safety and Security at our head officeWork

These institutions must comply with all regulations in the countries where they operate, in addition to corporate policies and procedures.

Training is an important aspect of our program, therefore compliance awareness is done through virtual courses offered to all employees as well as on-site training sessions for higher risk functions. Another aspect of our program that demonstrates our commitment towards achieving a high level of compliance is our employee disciplinary action process that ensures employees follow our policies and procedures and maintain the highest standards of ethical behavior.

Recently, we have added additional resources to our regulatory Compliance function to strengthen our efforts towards a series of initiatives that continue to build on our existing program.  These initiatives include reinforcing the anti-corruption, code of ethics, and conflicts of interest programs across the organization.  The chief Compliance Officer is responsible for reporting compliance matters to the Board of Directors as well as the Corporate Governance committee.

Our compliance area has a team of qualified professionals who are certified and have the experience to meet the regulatory challenges ahead both locally and in the markets we serve.  We are committed to maintaining our solid reputation with our regulators, investors and stakeholders.

This result is explained by acquiring majority sharesa cost-saving strategy based on: 1) aligning doctor’s request of medicine/procedures to directly manage: (i) El Golf, San Borjaa standardized list accepted by insurance companies; 2) creating a centralized purchase unit; and Oncocare clinics in Lima; (ii) the Galeno clinics in Arequipa; (iii) Laboratorios ML, a clinical laboratory; and (iv) Doctor+,3) purchasing our own medical equipment, which is a house call/ambulance service.

Furthermore, another important step in this strategy was our decision to sign an agreement with Johns Hopkins Medicine International, which is widely recognized as one of the world’s finest medical institutions. We believe that this alliance will allow us to import healtha bigger margin on services and medical carewhile paying less in fees.

However, our operating income deteriorated to -$8.8 million at the end of 2013, compared to $2.1 million at the end of 2012 due to Pacífico’s strategy, which began a stage of consolidation. The efforts of the highest international standardsmanagement team were focused on: 1) finishing initial expansion and baseline infrastructure projects with the goal of increasing patient safety; 2) beginning the standardization of IT systems as well as accounting procedures that could sustain a future consolidated operation of our healthcare facilities; 3) implementing baseline medical and healthcare risk management procedures that could prepare us to Peru.obtain accreditation by the Joint Commission accreditation; and 4) launching a nationwide marketing campaign of a new umbrealla brand of health clinics called SANNA. The Joint Commission (TJC) is a United States-based non-profit tax-exempt organization that accredits more than 20,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. A majority of state governments recognize Joint Commission accreditation as a condition of licensure and the receipt of Medicaid reimbursement.

Grupo Pacífico records as liabilities in its financial statements actuarially determined reserves calculated to meet its obligations under its life and accident policies and its pension fund underwriting business. These reserves are determined using mortality tables, morbidity assumptions, interest rates and methods of calculation in accordance with international practices.

 

Pursuant to SBS regulations, Grupo Pacífico establishes pre-event reserves for catastrophic risks with respect to earthquake coverage.

In accordance with IFRS principles, the pre-event reserves and income charges for these catastrophic reserves are not considered in Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Even though Grupo Pacífico maintains reserves to reduce its exposure, there is always some risk that claims might exceed Grupo Pacífico’s reserves. To address this issue we evaluate our reserves estimates on a periodic basis, by third party experts and by means of sensitivity analysis, IBNR´s sufficiency analysis and explanation of variations.

In 2011,2012, the Peruvian Government published the Law to Reform the Private Pension System. The law sets forth a new process by which individuals, which are called affiliates, may become beneficiaries affiliated with the SPP. Under the new law, auctions are held every 24 month to determine which company will have the exclusive right to manage the accounts of new SPP affiliates for a two year period. A competitive bidding process took place in September 2012 to determine which company would manage the accounts during a transitional period from September 2012 through the end of January 2013 (subsequently extended to May 2013). Prima AFP won the September auction and managed the accounts of new affiliates during the transitional period.

In December 2012, there was held the first auction to determine who would manage the accounts for the first full two year period. A new participant in the system won the tender, but that participant did not have the operational capacity to manage new affiliate accounts as of February 1, 2013. As a result, Prima AFP continued managing the new accounts until May 31, 2013. The new participant started operations on June 1, 2013.

In fact, between October 2012 and May 2013, Prima AFP had the exclusive right to capture new affiliates. Over this eight-month period, the company’s commercial efforts increased its client base by 200 thousand new affiliates (140 thousand only in 2013). As a result, Prima AFP strengthened its position in the market and gained competitiveness. This has reinforced the company’s commitment to providing top-notch customer service while obtaining good results with its prudent approach to pension fund market was stable, with less competition for transfers and increased focus on new affiliations. Prima AFP maintained its leading market position due to a strong value proposal aimed at providing quality information and service to its members.

Strong productivity by Prima AFP’s sales management helped Prima AFP preserve a high quality portfolio and increase its monthly insurable remuneration (or RAM), which is the basis of its revenues. Strong productivity also contributed to Prima AFP’s robust market share. With regard to the collection of contributions, Prima AFP has the largest market share in Peru, at 32.9% as of December 2011.management.

 

In the commercial field, Prima AFP focused on recruiting new affiliates and maintaining its existing affiliate portfolio. Pursuant to in-house estimates based on revenues, and taking into account the 1.75% administration fee thatWhen Prima AFP charges, Primawas awarded to the new affiliates in the fourth quarter of 2012 it reduced its commission fee applicable to all affiliates from 1.75% to 1.60%. With respect to the RAM indicator (Prima AFP’s basis remuneration for revenues increased in 2011. This increase allowedrevenues), Prima AFP once againobtained an increase from 32.4% in 2012 to achieve34.4% in 2013.

Productivity by Prima AFP’s sales management helped Prima AFP preserve a quality portfolio and increase its RAM, which is the highest monthly insurable remuneration (RAM) market share, at 32.2%.basis of its revenues.

 

In 2011,2013, Prima AFP managed 1.5 million SPP affiliate accounts, an increase of 10.0% compared to the number of accounts Prima AFP managed in 2012. This represented 26.9% of market share. In 2012, Prima AFP managed accounts for 1.3 million affiliates.

Productivity also contributed to Prima AFP’s pension fund investment portfolio decreased as a resultmarket share. With regard to the collection of lower confidencecontributions, Prima AFP increased its market share from 32.8% in a global recovery, although at the local level indicators of the Peruvian economy remained solid.

By year-end 2013, Prima AFP’s market share of total funds under management was 31.7%, representing a year-over-year increase. The profitability of our funds in the last 12 months (December 2013/December 2011. 2012) was 0.1%, -2.4% and -2.8% for Funds 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The volatility of the international markets, the decline of the Lima Stock Exchange, and the devaluation of local currency affected funds under management.

Given that pension funds are long-term investments, it is best to observe their returns over a long period. OverIf we analyze the last 60 months,period from Prima AFP’s creation to date (7 years, historic information available on the 3 funds Dec2013/Dec2006), nominal annual return was 6.48%profitability has been 6.32%, 8.11%7.12% and 8.09% for6.94% in funds 1, 2 and 3.

Overview

In recent years, several foreign companies have showed interest in entering the Peruvian market while financial companies already in Peru have have taken steps to expand operations and develop new business. In 2006, the Canadian bank with the largest international presence formed Scotiabank Peru pursuant to a merger between Banco Wiese Sudameris and Banco Sudamericano. In addition, in 2006, one of the largest financial organizations worldwide entered the Peruvian market for the first time by forming HSBC Bank Peru.

 

In 2007, a financial corporation with ten years of operating history received authorization to convert into a bank. That same year, Banco Santander re-joined the Peruvian banking segment and started operations in October. In 2008, two foreign-owned banks initiated operations in Peru: Banco Azteca and Deutsche Bank (Peru), a subsidiary of the German bank of the same name. In 2009, BCP acquired Financiera Edyficar; however, Edyficar continued to operate independently and maintained its own brand. In the same year, Banco del Trabajo, a subsidiary of Scotiabank, started operations as a finance corporation (Crediscotia Financiera). Finally, in

In 2010 and 2011 no major commercial banks entered the Peruvian financial system. In 2012, Banco Cencosud from the Chilean group of the same name, in a joint enterprise with the Peruvian group Wong, started operations in the first half of the year. Later that year, GNB Sudameris Group, a Colombia-based entity, acquired HSBC Peru and renamed it Banco GNB Peru. Finally, in 2013 there was a merger between the rural savings and loan institution (CRAC by its Spanish initials), Nuestra Gente and the finance corporation Confianza. The entity resulting from the merger operates as a microfinance corporation by the name of Financiera Confianza.

 

While new entries into the Peruvian banking system over the last two years have not been as pronounced as entries in previous years, there is evidence that foreign-owned banks are taking steps to begin operations in the Peruvian market. For example, Itaú Unibanco, Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior (Bladex), Morgan Stanley Bank, and Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi have received authorization to openand Sumitomo Mitsui Banking opened representative offices in Peru.

In BCP’s Wholesale Banking Group, its corporate banking area has experienced increased competition and pressure on margins over the last few years. This is primarily the result of new entrants into the market, including foreign and privatized commercial banks, as well as local and foreign investment banks and non-bank credit providers, such as pension fund administrators (or AFPs) and mutual fund companies.

 

In addition, Peruvian companies have gained access to new sources of capital through the local and international capital markets. In recent years, AFPs’ funds under management and mutual fund assets have increased at rates over those experienced by the banking system. The private pension fund system in Peru reached US$30.436.9 billion as of December 31, 2011, decreasing by 2.3% since December 31, 2010 (when funds totaled2013 (representing 3% decrease) from US$31.1 billion).38 billion in 2012 and US$30.4 billion in 2011.

Other institutions in the Peruvian financial system tend to specialize in a given market sector. These institutions include financeinclude: 12 financial companies, 13 municipal savings and loans institutions, 9 rural savings and credit associations, municipal public credit associationsloans institutions and savings9 small and credit cooperatives.microenterprise development agencies. They mainly issue retail loans to small and micro-businesses and consumer and mortgage loans to individuals. These markets have shown substantial increases in recent years.

BCP is facingfaced strong competition from these credit providers, primarily with respect to (i)consumer loans and small and micro-business loans. Small and micro-business loan providers lent US$5.6 billion in 2013 (S/. 15.7 billion), compared to the US$5.7 billion (S/. 14.6 billion) lent in 2012 and US$4.7 billion (S/. 12.7 billion) lent in 2011. In 2013, small and micro-business loans where such providers lent US$4.7 billion as of December 31, 2011 (27.2% higher than the US$3.7 billion lent in 2010), representing 48.3%other financial institutions represented 50.9% of the total in the financial system (compared to 48%48.6% in 2010);2012 and (ii) consumer loans, where such48.6% in 2011). Consumer loan providers lent US$2.2 billion as of December 2013 (3.3% higher than 2012). In 2012, consumer loan providers lent US$2.1 billion (a 21.5% growth compared to the US$1.8 billion lent in 2011 (28.6% higher than US$1.4 billion in 2010), representing2011).

BCP also faces strong competition in its credit card operations from credit cards issued by retail stores.

 

(iv) Investment Banking

As mentioned above, Credicorp´s investment banking platform, Credicorp Capital, comprises Credicorp Capital Perú (including the investment banking division that was formerly in BCP), Credicorp Capital Colombia (formerly, Correval), IM Trust (Chile) and CSI. The business in Credicorp’s investment banking platform were consolidated under the brand Credicorp Capital in April 2013 to take advantage of growing opportunities in the MILA, a market which has a capitalization of US$549 billion as of December 31, 2013.

During 2013, Credicorp effectively transitioned the business model of its investment banking platform from one oriented to countries to another focused on business units, Credicorp capital is organized into four business units: asset management, capital markets, corporate finance and fiduciary business. The company also has a regional back office platform, strong commercial integration and independent treasury management.

In terms of operational income, asset management represented over 41% of Credicorp Capital’s business; capital markets represented approximately 36%; corporate finance represented approximately 16%; and local fiduciaries and other businesses collectively accounted for approximately 7% of operational income in 2013. In the MILA market, between 2008 and 2013, the business entities that were consolidated under Credicorp Capital together ranked first in corporate bond issuance and fixed income trading. In aggregate these business also ranked third in share trading and fifth in initial public offerings.

(v) Insurance

 

The Peruvian insurance market is highly concentrated. As of December 2011,2013, four companies commanded 83%84.2% of the market share inby premiums, and the leading two havehad a combined market share of 60%63.5%. Together, Pacífico Seguros Generales and Pacífico Vida together areconstituted the second largest insurance company in Peru with a 27%28.8% market share. Peruvian insurance companies compete principally on the basis of price, as well as on the basis of brand recognition, customer service and product features. Grupo Pacífico’s insurance businesses believe that their competitive pricing, strong and positive image, and quality of customer service are significant aspects of their overall competitiveness. While increased foreign entry into the Peruvian insurance market may put additional pressure on premium rates, particularly for commercial coverage, Grupo Pacífico believes that in the long-term foreign competition will increase the quality and strength of the industry. Grupo Pacífico believes that its size and its extensive experience in the Peruvian insurance market provide it with a competitive advantage over foreign competitors.

However, competition in the Peruvian insurance industry has increased substantially since the industry was deregulated in 1991, with particularly strong competition in the area of large commercial policies, for which rates and coverage typically are negotiated individually. TheA loss by Grupo Pacífico to competitors of even a small number of major customers or brokers could have a material impact on Grupo Pacífico’s premium levels and market share.

While we are incorporated in Bermuda, substantially all of BCP’s and Grupo Pacífico’s operations and customers are located in Peru. Although ASHC is based outside of Peru, a substantial number of its customers are also located in Peru. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition could be affected by changes in economic or other policies of the Peruvian government, which has exercised and continues to exercise a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector. Also, our results of operations and financial condition may be affected by other political or economic developments in Peru, such as a devaluation of the Nuevo Sol relative to the U.S. Dollar or the imposition of exchange controls by the Peruvian government.

(i) Peruvian Government

During the past several decades, Peru has had a history of political instability that has included military coups d’état and differentmultiple governmental regimes, which in the past have frequently intervened in the nation’s economy and social structure. See “Item 3. Key Information—(D) Risk Factors.”Factors”. In 1987, the administration of President Alan García attempted to nationalize the banking system. Facing an attempt by the state to control BCP, the majority shareholders of BCP at that time sold a controlling interest in BCP to its employees, which prevented the government from gaining control of BCP. See “—(C) Organizational Structure.”Structure”.

 

Between 1990 and 2000, President Fujimori implemented a broad-based reform of Peru’s political system, economy and social conditions. See “Item 3. Key Information—(D) Risk Factors.”Factors”. President Fujimori resigned in 2000 in favor of a transitory government due to an outbreakafter a series of corruption scandals. President Toledo then assumed the presidency in 2001 after a period of political turmoil, facing high unemployment and underemployment, an economic recession and social need. In 2006, Alan García was elected for a five year-term, duringyear-term. The Toledo and Garcia administrations followed similar economic policies, which remained the main outlines of the economic model,focused on promoting private investment to stimulate the economy.

 

PresidentialAt the conclusion of President Garcia’s term, the first round of presidential elections werewas initially held in Peru on April 10, 2011, and a second round of elections was held on June 5, 2011. The winner of the elections was Ollanta Humala, who defeated Keiko Fujimori. While President Humala’s initial proposals as a candidate were designed to radically change the economic model that was alreadyhis predecessor put in effect, his signing of a "road map", which promised to be moderate, was important for his electoral victory.important. Among his first acts as president-elect were the ratification of the Peruvian Central Bank’sBank ’s president and the appointment of Luis Castilla, who served as Deputy Minister under the previous government, as Minister of Finance. Both of these appointees contributed to recover thea recovery in Peru’s investment climate, thatwhich had deteriorated during the presidential campaigns period.campaigns. However, the recovery has beenwas subsequently affected by perceived risks abroad, where the Eurozone iswas under economic pressure. Despite the uncertainty generated during the first half of 2011 (due to the radical changes proposed by Humala) and the global economic slowdown in the second half of 2011, the Peruvian economy managed to close the yearclosed 2011 with an economic growth of 6.9%. In 2013, concerns about monetary policy in U.S. and the health of the Chinese economy generated uncertainty in global emerging markets. During 2013, Peru grew 5.3%, focused mainly onas a result of non-primary sectors highly linked with domestic demand.demand, particularly construction and services, but exports were hit by global uncertainty and private investment showed a sharp moderation.

Despite the economic strides achieved since 1990 and the high rate at which the Peruvian economy has expanded in the last decade, poverty remains a persistent problem, with almost 40%30% of the population living below the poverty line, which the World Bank defines poverty as monthly income of less than US$60 per capita, adjusted to reflect differences in purchasing power.

During his second term (2006-2011)(2006 - 2011), President Alan Garcia generally continued the market-oriented policies that started in the 1990s with President Fujimori’s structural reforms. Nevertheless, someseveral interventionist measures were passed due to surgealso adopted as a result of widespread populist initiatives frompassed by Congress and social pressures from unions and regional movements.

In addition to political changesreforms and the applicationadoption of sound macroeconomic policies, thea positive external outlook of Peru’s economy among international investors allowed Peru to grow at an average of 5.7% in the last decade, reachingdecade. Peru’s economy even experienced a positive growth rate even during the global financial crisis in 2009. In that year, within a global comparison, Peru was among the countries with the highest GDP-growth rates: 0.9% in a year when global production decreased 1.1%. In the followingsubsequent years, of recoverywhen international financial conditions improved, Peru continued outperforming the global economy, and even developed regions, growing 8.8% in 2010 and 6.9% in 2011.2011 and 6.3% in 2012.

 

The Peruvian economy went through moderationgrew 5.3% in 2011, because of global turmoil arising from debt crisis2013, despite higher uncertainty about tapering in the Eurozone, weakerU.S. and concerns about Chinese production. Private consumption was stable, but private investment showed little growth in developed countries, and local factors like political uncertainty associated to presidential elections. The combined effectthe second half of these events resulted in slowdown in private investment growth rates (11.0%2013, after 22.1% in 2010). Nevertheless, consumption showed resilience, maintaining its dynamism (6.0% after 6.5% in 2010), as negative contribution of foreign sector reflected stronger growth in imports (7.0%) than exports (4.6%).several years with double-digit growth.

 

During 2007, the United States signed the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States was signed and the trade deal was put intoFTA took effect on February 1, 2009, concluding a long process of trade negotiations and goodwill.negotiations. The FTA made permanent the special access to the U.S. market previously enjoyed under the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug EradicationEradication Act. The current trade between these countriesPeru and U.S. is around US$13 billion annually (15.7% of total trade). The FTA is expected to encourage higher export growth and diversification, as well as accelerate reforms that will further enhance the investment climate in Peru, which is already benefitingbenefits from high flowslevels of foreign direct investment. Progress wasIn recent years, Peru also made progress toward reaching more trade agreements with Peru’s most important trade partners like China (the FTA started(a free trade agreement with China took effect in marchMarch 2010), which currently stands as the first destinyprincipal destination of Peruvian exports, mainlyPeru’s main exports to China are commodities and primary goods. In 2011,2013, trade between both countriesChina and Peru reached US$13.215.3 billion (16.1%(18.5% of Peru’s total trade). Also, Peru also concluded trade agreement negotiations with the European Union, Japan and Mexico, and all of themMexico. These agreements are supposedexpected to start in the first half of 2012. It is expected that after solving the uncertainty about global economy, these agreements will help boost growth in thePeru’s export sector, which has been flat since 2008 is relatively flat compared to the buoyancy registeredgrowth in domestic demand. In addition, these trade agreements have improved the competitive position of Peruvian exporters relative to exporters in other global markets.

 

Peru’sAfter seven years of surpluses, Peru had a trade surplusdeficit in 2011 was US$9.3 billion, surpassing the 2010 surplus of US$6.7 billion.2013 (US$0.3 billion). This trade surplusdeficit was the result of lower prices and volumes for exported products (particularly mineral products, such as gold and copper) and a sizeablestrong domestic demand, combined with higher prices for imports and food (soybean, corn, wheat). However, Credicorp expect a trade surplus in 2014 as a consequence of an important increase in exports, which reached approximately US$46.3 billion, a historic record, though imports also grew as the domestic economy expanded at a more moderate pace. Exports in 2011 increased 30.1%, based mostly on higher commodity prices, while imports increased 28.3%, due to growth in domestic demand.copper production.

 

Peru has had a history of high and persistent current account deficits. Nevertheless, a process of gradual correction of external imbalances started in recent years. Between 2007 and 2011,2010, Peru’s current account balance reached an average deficit of US$2.1 billion, which is equivalent to 1.3% of Peru’s GDP. After a brief interruption inIn 2008, when the deficit again reached high levels (US$5.3 billion, or 4.2% of GDP), andbut a small surplus was achieved in 2009 (0.2 %(0.2% of GDP) due to a decrease in imports and in investment income (in a context(during period of slow global slowdown), the correction process took place again. Ineconomic growth). Between 2011 and 2013, Peru again recorded a deficit, this time in the amount of US$4.7 billion (2.5% of GDP) duecurrent account deficits, which first were linked to a trade deficitprocess of capital accumulation, and after that, wasto lower terms of trade. These recent deficits (from close to 2.5% of GDP in 2011 to more than 5.0% of GDP in 2013) were not a particularly alarming because they were completely financed by Peru’s financial account, which derives more than 70% of its total inflows from long-term capital inflows.capital.

 

Peru’s financial account had an average surplus of US$8.19.6 billion between 20072008 and 2011, reflecting2013, resulting largely from higher foreign direct investment and long-term loans which reflectsthat accompanied improved investor sentiment about the improvement on investor’s perception of Peru’s economic perspective. The exception wasPeruvian economy. Two notable exceptions to the decrease of surplussizeable surpluses Peru recorded during this period occurred in 2009 (US$and in 2013. In 2009, Peru’s financial account surplus declined to US$1.5 billion),billion, due to lower capital inflows in a context ofand global economic uncertainty, mainly in the first half of the year, but it was enough to reverse the current account deficit. In 2010 and 2011, recovery in capital inflows gradually restored high financial accountyear. Still, surpluses when investors adjusted their risk appetite and reassessed risks in emerging countries, which proved to have solid foundations during the crisis. Nevertheless, stress episodes associated with the Eurozone fiscal crisis, including the bailouts of Ireland and Portugal in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and Greece’s recent debt restructuring negotiations during the second half of 2011, continue2009 were sizeable enough to havecreate a surplus for the year. Between 2010 and 2012, despite some volatility, growth in capital inflows gradually lead to the return of high financial account surpluses, as investors adjusted their risk appetites and became more comfortable with investments in emerging countries. In 2013, in an environment of financial uncertainty but continuous economic growth, Peru’s current account was again negative effects on investment inflows into Peru.mainly due to a trade balance deficit and a decrease in exports as a result of lower prices of minerals.

 

Inflation in Peru, as measured by the Lima consumer price index, was 3.5%3.2% on average over the past five years. After reducing the Peruvian Central Bank's target of 2.5% to 2.0%, with a +/-1% range, inflation was above the target range in 2007 and 2008, registering 3.93% andat 6.65% respectively. The inflation rate during this period was influenced by higher international commodity prices. As of December 31, 2010 the inflation rate was 2.1%, compared to a 0.25% inflation rate at the end of 2009. Inflation in 2011 was 4.7%, significantly above the Peruvian Central Bank’s inflation range, driven by external supply shocks (higher commodity prices) as well as local supply shocks (less local food supply). In 2012, inflation was 2.65%, with a sharp correction, driven by a reduction in prices of imported food (especially grains) and oil, occurring in the last quarter of the year. Similarly, in 2013, inflation was 2.86%, and although inflation was above 3.0% for most of 2013, a sharp correction in the last quarter of the year offset the relatively high inflation rates we experienced in the previous three quarters. In 2012 and 2013, inflation was mainly generated by supply shocks, and demand shocks were less important.

These achievements are believed to have placed Peru in a strong positionstrengthened Peru’s ability to face any future deterioration in external conditions, should that be the case.weather economic pressures originating outside of Peru. Building on Peru’s strong fundamentals, including a resilient financial system, several measures have been implemented by the authoritiesgovernment that will help to, limit spillovers, preserve adequate liquidity conditions in the Peruvian domestic markets, and bolster domestic confidence. The Peruvian financial system has proven to be strong, despite the impact of the global financial crisis. Credit,Banking credit, which averaged a 31.8% growth in 2007 and 2008, lost momentum, closingin 2009 with only a 9.5% growth. The economic recovery in Peru has increased demand for banking credit, which ingrew approximately 12% - 18% each year between 2010 grew by 18.1% and 22.9% in 2011.

Peruvian authorities have been implementing reforms to strengthen the financial system and improve the country’s international liquidity position compared with that observed during the crisis. Under an adverse scenario,2013. Largely as a result of higher exchange-rate volatility, the Peruvian Central Bank couldgradually increased foreign currency credit reserve requirements over the course of 2013, while reducing the reserve requirements applicable to domestic currency. As a consequence, average requirements for foreign currency have increased to 44.2% from 41.7%, while those applicable to domestic currency decreased to 15.3% from 19.0% during 2013. Medium and marginal reserve requirements in January and February 2014 averaged 13%.

(11) The Peruvian Financial System

 

As our activities are conducted primarily through banking and insurance subsidiaries operating in Peru, a summary of the Peruvian financial system is set forth below.

 

(i)General

(i) General

 

On December 31, 2011,2013, the Peruvian financial system consisted of the following principal participants: the Peruvian Central Bank, the SBS, 1516 banking institutions (not including Banco de la Nación, a Peruvian state-owned bank), 1011 finance companies, and 2 leasing companies. In addition, Peru has various mutual mortgage associations, municipal and rural savings and credit associations, municipal public credit associations and savings and credit cooperatives, which totaled 3432 entities as of December 31, 2011.2013.

 

Law 26702 regulates Peruvian financial and insurance companies. In general, it provides for tighter loan loss reserve standards, brings asset risk weighting in line with Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices of International Settlements (or the Basel Accord) guidelines, broadens supervision of financial institutions by the SBS to include holding companies, and includes specific treatment of a series of recently developed products in the capital markets and derivatives areas.

 

(ii)Central Bank

(ii) The Peruvian Central Bank

 

The Peruvian Central Reserve Bank (or the Central Bank) was established in 1922. Pursuant to the Peruvian Constitution, its primary role is to ensure the stability of the Peruvian monetary system. The Peruvian Central Bank regulates Peru’s money supply, administers international reserves, issues currency, determines Peru’s balance of payments and other monetary accounts, and furnishes information regarding the country’s financial situation. It also represents the government of Peru beforeat the IMFInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Latin American Reserve Fund (a financial institution whose purpose is to provide balance of payments assistance to its member countries by granting credits or guaranteeing loans to third parties).

 

The highest decision-making authority within the Peruvian Central Bank is its seven-member board of directors. Each director serves a five-year term. Of the seven directors, four are selected by the executive branch and three are selected by the Congress. The Chairman of the Peruvian Central Bank is one of the executive branch nominees but must be approved by Peru’s Congress.

 

The Peruvian Central Bank’s board of directors develops and oversees monetary policy, establishes reserve requirements for entities within the financial system, and approves guidelines for the management of international reserves. All entities within the financial system are required to comply with the decisions of the Peruvian Central Bank.

 

(iii)SBS (The Superintendency of Banks, Insurance and Pension Funds)

(iii) The Superintendency of Banks, Insurance and Pension Funds (SBS)

 

The SBS, whose authority and activities are discussed in “—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation,”Regulation” is the regulatory authority in charge of implementing and enforcing Law 26702 and, more generally, supervising and regulating all financial, insurance and pension fund institutions in Peru.

In June 2008, LawLegislative Decree 1028 and 1052 were approved modifying Law 26702 with the following objectives: (i) to strengthen and to increase competitiveness, (ii) to implement Basel II and (iii) to adapt the currentPeru’s existing regulatory framework to the Agreement of Commercial Promotion, APC,FTA signed between Peru and the United States.

 

The main amendments defined in Law 1028 were designed to promote the development of Peruvian capital markets by extending the range of financial services that could be offered by microfinance institutions (i.e., non-banks) without requiring SBS authorization.

Law 1028 also modified the framework in which the Peruvian financial system is to be harmonized with the new international standards established by the Basel II Accord (which aims to minimize the issues regarding regulatory arbitrage). Since July 2009, Peruvian financial institutions apply thegenerally have applied a standardized method to calculate their capital requirement related to credit, market and operational risk. Also,As an alternative to the standardized method, financial institutions may request authorization from the SBS to use different models for calculating the reserve amount associated with any of these three risks. In July 2009, the SBS started receiving applications to use alternative models, referred to as Internal Models Methods for anyMethods. If the amount of these three risks. Meanwhile, if an institution requires lower capital using its internal models than byinstitution’s reserve requirements would be higher using the current approach,standard model than it would be using the approved Internal Models Method, then the institution will have to maintain between 80% and 95% of the higherstandard amount during a phase in period, Even after the first years.phase in period, institutions using an Internal Models Method will be subject to regulatory capital floors.

 

Law 1052 aims to include and synchronize Law 26702 and the APC’sFTA’s framework, particularly regarding insurance services. The amendments allow offeringcompanies to offer cross-border services and have simplified the process for international institutions to enter into the Peruvian market by establishing subsidiaries.

Law 26702 authorizes banks to operate, through their subsidiaries, warehouse companies and securities brokerage companies and toBanks may also establish and administer mutual funds.

 

BranchesPeruvian branches of foreign banks enjoy the same rights and are subject to the same obligations as Peruvian banks. Multinational banks, with operations in various countries, may perform the same activities as Peruvian banks, although their foreign activities are not subject to Peruvian regulations. To carry out banking operations in the local market,Peruvian markets, multinational banks must maintain a certain portion of their capital in Peru, in at least the minimum amount that is required for Peruvian banks.

 

Finance Companies

 

Under Law 26702, finance companies are authorized to carry out the same operations as banks, with the exception of (i) issuing loans as overdrafts in checking accounts and (ii) participating in derivative operations. These operations can be carried out by finance companies only if they fulfill the requirements stated by the SBS.

Other Financial Institutions

 

The Peruvian financial system has a number of less significant entities which may provide credit, accept deposits or otherwise act as financial intermediaries on a limited basis. Leasing companies specialize in financial leasing operations where goods are leased over the term of the contract and in which one party has the option of purchasing the goods at a predetermined price. Savings and loans associations or cooperatives may accept certain types of savings deposits and provide other similar financial services.

  

Peru also has numerous mutual housing associations, municipal savings and credit associations, savings and credit cooperatives and municipal credit bureaus. Over the past five years the entry of new participants, including foreign banks and non-bank financial institutions, has increased the level of competition in Peru.

 

Insurance Companies

 

Since the Peruvian insurance industry was deregulated in 1991, insurance companies have been authorized to conduct all types of operations and to enter into all forms of agreements that are needed to offer risk coverage to customers. Insurance companies may also invest in financial and non-financial assets, although they are subject to the regulations on investments and reserves established in Law 26702 and the regulations issued by the SBS.

 

Law 26702 is the principal law governing insurance companies in Peru. The SBS is charged with the supervision and regulation of all insurance companies. The formation of an insurance company requires prior authorization of the SBS.

 

The insurance industry has experienced consolidation in recent years with the number of companies decreasing from 19 in 1991 to 1415 in 2011.2013.

Overview

 

BCP’s operations are regulated by Peruvian law. The regulations for the operation ofgoverning operations in the Peruvian financial sector are stated in Law 26702. The SBS periodically issues resolutions that causeunder Law 26702 to be developed.26702. See “—(10)(11) The Peruvian Financial System.”System”. The SBS supervises and regulates entities that Law 26702 classifies as financial institutions. These entities include commercial banks, finance companies, small business finance companies, savings and loan corporations, financial services companies such as trust companies and investment banks, and insurance companies. Financial institutions must seekobtain the SBS’s authorization before beginning operations.

 

BCP’s operations are supervised and regulated by the SBS and the Peruvian Central Bank. Those who violate Law 26702 and its underlying regulations are subject to administrative sanctions and criminal penalties. Additionally, the SBS and the Peruvian Central Bank have the authority to issue fines to financial institutions and their directors and officers if they violate the laws or regulations of Peru, or their own institutions’ bye-laws.

 

The Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV), formerly known as CONASEV, is the Peruvian government institution in charge of (i) promoting the securities market, (ii) making sure fair competition takes place in the securities markets, (iii) supervising the management of businesses that trade in the securities markets and (iv) regulating their activities and accounting practices. BCP must inform SMV of significant events that affect its business and is required to provide financial statements to it and the Lima Stock Exchange each quarter.

Under Peruvian law, banks may conduct brokerage operations and administer mutual funds but must do so through subsidiaries. However, bank employees may market the financial products of the bank’s brokerage and mutual fund subsidiaries. Banks are prohibited from issuing insurance policies, but are not prohibited from distributing insurance policies issued by insurance companies.

Authority of the SBS

 

Peru’s Constitution and Law 26702 (which contains the statutory charter of the SBS) grant the SBS the authority to oversee and control banks and financial institutions (with the exception of brokerage firms, which are regulated by SMV – Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores)SMV), insurance and reinsurance companies, companies that receive deposits from the general public, pension funds private administrators (“AFPs”)AFPs and other similar entities as defined by the law.Law 26702. The SBS is also responsible for supervising the Peruvian Central Bank to ensure that it abides by its statutory charter and bye-laws.

 

The SBS has administrative, financial and operating autonomy. Its objectives include protecting the public interest, ensuring the financial stability of the institutions over which it has authority and punishing violators of its regulations. Its responsibilities include: (i) reviewing and approving, with the assistance of the Peruvian Central Bank , the establishment and organization of subsidiaries of the institutions it regulates; (ii) overseeing mergers, dissolutions and reorganization of banks, financial institutions and insurance companies; (iii) supervising financial, insurance and related companies from which information on an individual or consolidated basis is required, through changes in ownership and management control (this supervision also applies to non-bank holding companies, such as us); (iv) reviewing the bye-laws and amendments of bye-laws of these companies; (v) issuing criteria governing the transfer of bank shares, when permitted by law, for valuation of assets and liabilities and for minimum capital requirements; and (vi) controlling the Central de Riesgos (BankBank’s Risk Assessment Center),Center, to which all banks are legally required to provide information regarding all businesses and individuals with whom they deal without regard to the amount of credit risk (the information provided is made available to all banks to allow them to monitor individual borrowers’ overall exposure to Peru’s banks).

Management of Operational Risk

 

SBS Resolutions No. 006-200237-2008, which sets forth the guidelines for enterprise risk management (ERM), and 37-20082116-2009 collectively established guidelines for operational risk management, which includes a broad range of risks and definesmanagement. Under these resolutions, operational risks asmanagement is defined broadly to include those resulting from the possibility of suffering financial losses due to inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from adverse external events. ItThe resolutions also establishesestablish responsibilities for developing policies and procedures to identify, measure, control and report such risks. Banks are required to adequately manage risks involved in the performance and continuity of their operations and services in order to minimize possible financial losses and reputation damage due to inadequate or non-existent policies or procedures. Banks also are required to develop an information security model to guarantee physical and logical information integrity, confidentiality and availability.

 

Credicorp, following these SBS guidelines, as well as the guidelines issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and the advice of international consultants, has appointed a specialized team responsible for operational risk management across our organization. This team reports regularly to our risk committee, top managers and Board of Directors.

 

In evaluating operational risks and potential consequences, we mainly assess risks related to critical processes, new products, critical suppliers, critical information assets, technological components, new products and technological components.significant changes on our services, and channels. To support the operational risk management process we have developed a business continuity managementBusiness Continuity Management (BCM) discipline, which involves the implementation of continuity plans for critical business processes, incident management, and training and testing. In addition, we haveour methodology and data processing team has developed procedures to register, collect, analyze and report operational risk losses, looking forward to the implementation ofusing advanced models for operational risk capital allocation. Lastly, we have a monitoring and reporting team, whose main objective isprocedures, designed to follow up action plans and monitor Key Risk Indicators (KRI) and other performance metrics.

 

We intend to be guided by the risk control standards of international financial institutions that are noted for their leadership in this field. Our overall objective is to implement an efficient and permanent monitoring system to control operational risks, while the actual management of risk control procedures is conducted by the areas that carry out critical activities.training our operational units to mitigate risks directly.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to make certain certifications regarding our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.2013. We have developed internal methods to identify and evaluate risk and controls over our critical processes to determinate how effective internal controls are over financial reporting.

Capital Adequacy Requirements for BCP

 

Capital adequacy requirements applicable to us are set forth in the Peruvian Banking Law, (Law 26702), as amended and(Law 26702). We are monitored and regulated by the SBS. Law 26702 was enacted in December 1996 and amended in June 2008 through Legislative Decree 1028. The amendment became effective in July 2009 and was aimed at adapting the Peruvian Banking Law to the capital guidelines and standards established by the second Basel Accord (Basel II). Capital adequacy requirements are also included in Peruvian GAAP accounting guidelines.

 

Basel II standards modified the methodology to measure credit, market and operational risks to allow the use of standardized and internal model-based methods. Basel II standards also allow Peruvian financial institutions to request authorization from the SBS to implement an internal ratings-based (“IRB”)(IRB) methodology.

 

Financial institutions that receive approval from the SBS to use the IRB methodology are subject to regulatory capital floors. The amount of capital required may not be less than the percentage of capital required under an alternative methodology.

 

 First Year Second Year Third Year  First Year  Second Year  Third Year 
Basic IRB and Internal Models of Credit Risk  95%  90%  80%  95%  90%  80%
Advanced Models of Credit Risk and/or Operational Risk  90%  80%     90%  90%   

 

Prior to June 2009, the capital requirements were based upon the guidelines established by the first Basel Accord (Basel I). Financial institutions were required to limit risk-weighted assets to 11 times their regulatory capital, (“patrimonio efectivo”), which is equivalent to a minimum capital ratio of 9.09% of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets (RWA) were calculated based upon five risk categories depending on the perceived risk of each asset class.

 

Pursuant to the Basel II guidelines, financial institutions are required to hold regulatory capital (“patrimonio efectivo”) that is greater than or equal to the sum of (i) 10% of credit risk-weighted assets, and (ii) 10 times the amount required to cover market and operational risks. The new minimum capital requirements were implemented as follows.follows:

On

In November 2010, the SBS released a consultative document, which established the proposed methodologies for calculating additional capital requirements consistent with Pilar 21 of Basel II and certain aspects of Basel III. Comments on this document were due February 18, 2011. On July 20, 2011, the SBS issued SBS Resolution 8425-2011, establishing the final methodologies and the implementation schedule of the aforementioned additional capital requirements. The new capital requirements, which are aimed at covering risks not contemplated in Pilar I of Basel II, include requirements to cover concentration, interest rate and systemic risk. Additionally, pro-cyclical capital requirements were also established. These new requirements will be implemented over a period of five years starting in July 2012.

 

The SBS has not approved rules adopting Basel III or implementing it in the Peruvian Financial System.

Article 184 of Law 26702, as amended by Legislative Decree 1028, provides that regulatory capital may be used to cover credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Regulatory capital is comprised of the sum of basic capital and supplementary capital, and is calculated as follows:

 

Basic Capital: Basic Capital or Tier 1 capital is comprised of: (i) paid-in-capital (which includes common stock and perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock), legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval, and retained earnings with capitalization agreements (earnings that the shareholders or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, have committed to capitalize as common stock); (ii) other elements that have characteristics of permanence and loss absorption that are in compliance with regulations enacted by the SBS, such as hybrid securities; and (iii) unrealized gains and retained earnings in Subsidiaries.
(i)paid-in-capital (which includes common stock and perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock), legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval, and retained earnings with capitalization agreements (earnings that the shareholders or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, have committed to capitalize as common stock);
(ii)other elements that have characteristics of permanence and loss absorption that are in compliance with regulations enacted by the SBS, such as hybrid securities; and
(iii)unrealized gains and retained earnings in Subsidiaries.

Items deducted from Tier 1 capital include: (i) current and past years’ unrealized losses; (ii) deficits of loan loss provisions; (iii) goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations or acquisitions; and (iv) half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Absent any Tier 2 capital, 100% of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below must be deducted from Tier 1 capital.

(a)current and past years’ unrealized losses;
(b)deficits of loan loss provisions;
(c)goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations or acquisitions; and
(d)half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Absent any Tier 2 capital, 100% of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below must be deducted from Tier 1 capital.

The elements referred to in item (ii) above should not exceed 17.65% of the amount resulting from adding components (i) and (iii) of Tier 1 capital net of the deductions in (i)(a), (ii)(b) and (iii)(c) in this paragraph.

 

Supplementary Capital: Supplementary capital is comprised of the sum of Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital. Tier 2 capital elements include: (i) voluntary reserves that may be reduced without prior consent from the SBS; (ii) the eligible portion of redeemable subordinated debt and of any other components that have characteristics of debt and equity as provided by the SBS; (iii) for banks using the Standardized Approach Method (SAM), the generic loan loss provision up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets; or, alternatively, for banks using the Internal Ratings-Based Method (IRB), the generic loan loss provision up to 0.6% of total credit risk-weighted assets (pursuant to article 189 of the Law); and (iv) half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Tier 3 capital is comprised of redeemable subordinated debt that is incurred with the exclusive purpose of covering market risk, as referred to in Article 233 of the Law.
(i)voluntary reserves that may be reduced without prior consent from the SBS;
(ii)the eligible portion of redeemable subordinated debt and of any other components that have characteristics of debt and equity as provided by the SBS;
(iii)for banks using the Standardized Approach Method (SAM), the generic loan loss provision up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets; or, alternatively, for banks using the IRB Method, the generic loan loss provision up to 0.6% of total credit risk-weighted assets (pursuant to article 189 of the Law); and
(iv)half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Tier 3 capital is comprised of redeemable subordinated debt that is incurred with the exclusive purpose of covering market risk, as referred to in Article 233 of the Law.

 

Deductions: The following elements are deducted from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital: (i) all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign financial institutions and insurance companies; (ii) all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by an affiliate with which the bank consolidates its financial statements, including its holding company and such subsidiaries referred to in Articles 34 and 224 of the Law; (iii) the amount in which an investment in shares issued by a company with which the bank does not consolidate its financial statements and which is not part of the bank’s negotiable portfolio, exceeds 15% of the bank’s regulatory capital; (iv) the aggregate amount of all investments in shares issued by companies with which the bank does not consolidate its financial statements and which are not part of the bank’s negotiable portfolio, exceeds 60% of the regulatory capital; (v) when applicable, the amount resulting from the formula prescribed in Article 189 of the Law.
(i)all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign financial institutions and insurance companies;
(ii)all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by an affiliate with which the bank consolidates its financial statements, including its holding company and such subsidiaries referred to in Articles 34 and 224 of the Law;
(iii)the amount in which an investment in shares issued by a company with which the bank does not consolidate its financial statements and which is not part of the bank’s negotiable portfolio, exceeds 15% of the bank’s regulatory capital;
(iv)the aggregate amount of all investments in shares issued by companies with which the bank does not consolidate its financial statements and which are not part of the bank’s negotiable portfolio, exceeds 60% of the regulatory capital;
(v)when applicable, the amount resulting from the formula prescribed in Article 189 of the Law.

For the purposes herein, “regulatory capital” excludes the amounts referred to in (iii), (iv) and (iv)(v) of this paragraph.

Article 185 of the Law 26702 also provides that the following limits apply when calculating regulatory capital: (i) the aggregate amount of supplementary capital must not exceed the aggregate amount of basic capital; (ii)

(i)the aggregate amount of supplementary capital must not exceed the aggregate amount of basic capital;
(ii)the amount of redeemable Tier 2 subordinated instruments must be limited to 50% of the amount resulting from the sum of Tier 1 elements net of the deductions in (i), (ii), and (iii) in “Basic Capital” above; (iii) in “Basic Capital” above;
(iii)the amount of Tier 3 capital must be limited to 250% of the amount resulting from the sum of Tier 1 elements net of the deductions (i), (ii), and (iii) in “Basic Capital” above in the amounts assigned to cover market risk.

SBS Resolution 8548-2012, adopted in 2012, modified the regulatory capital requirements for credit risk weighted assets in SBS Resolution 14354-2009 and established a schedule for implementing the modifications.

 

As of December 31, 2013, BCP’s regulatory capital was 14.46% of its unconsolidated risk-weighted assets, indicating that BCP had risk-weighted assets that were 6.92 times the amount of regulatory capital. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BCP’s regulatory capital was 14.72% and 14.53% of its unconsolidated risk-weighted assets, whichrespectively.

In November 2013, BCP´s board of directors approved BCP’s tracking and recordation of a Basel III ratio known as Common Equity Tier 1. Common Equity Tier 1 is equivalent to havingcomprised of:

(i)paid-in-capital (which includes common stock and perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock),
(ii)legal and other capital reserves,
(iii)accumulated earnings,
(iv)unrealized profits (losses),
(v)deficits of loan loss provisions,
(vi)intangibles,
(vii)deferred taxes that rely on future profitability,
(viii)goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations or acquisitions; and
(ix)100% of the amount referred to in “Deductions” above.

As of December 31, 2013, BCP´s Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio was approximately 7.52% of its unconsolidated risk-weighted assets, above the 7.00% limit that are 6.88 timesBCP set for itself. This limit will increase to 7.50% in December 2014, 8.00% in December 2015 and 8.50% in December 2016. BCP´s Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio is estimated based on BCP’s understanding, expectations and interpretation of the amount ofproposed Basel III requirements in Peru, anticipated Basel III modifications to its existing ratio calculation methodology and other regulatory capital.guidance available in Peru.

Legal Reserve Requirements

In accordance with Peruvian regulation - article 67 of Law 26702-, a reserve of up to at least 35 percent35% of paid-in capital of the Group’s subsidiaries operating in Peru is required to be established through annual transfers of at least 10 percent10% of their net income. In accordance with Bolivian regulation, a reserve of up to at least 50 percent50% of paid-in capital of the Group’s subsidiaries operating in Bolivia is required to be established through annual transfers of at least 10 percent10% of their net income. As of December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 2009,2011, these reserves amounted to approximately US$387.3721.7 million, US$369.3620.3 million and US$242.9461.9 million, respectively.

Provisions for Loan Losses

Credicorp’s allowance model is an IFRS compliant loss estimation model that comprises a number of methodologies which estimate losses per client for Wholesale Banking and losses per segment (pool) for Retail Banking, in line with IASC39. Depending on the portfolio analyzed, each methodology takes into consideration collateral recovery projections, outstanding debt and qualitative aspects that reinforce the estimate. Some examples of qualitative aspects are the complexity of the recovery processes, sector trends, and officers’ judgment of the estimated recovery values.

 

The SBS has authoritymethodology includes three estimation scenarios: base, upper threshold and lower threshold. These scenarios are generated by modifying some assumptions, such as collateral recovery values and adverse effects due to establish loan reserveschanges in the political and issue guidelines foreconomic environments. The process to select the provision of loan losses ofbest estimate within the range is based on management´s best judgment, complemented by historical loss experience and the Company’s strategy (e.g. penetration in new segments).

The Peruvian credit institutions, including commercial banks. SBS Resolution No. 41-2005, enacted in January 2005, requires additional provisions for loans subject to foreign exchange risk, which are recorded for local purposes. Since July 2010, SBS Resolution No. 11356-2008 has required commercial banks to implement a new framework for the assessment and classification of debtors. The resolution also required the establishment of pro-cyclical provisions starting December 2008. In September 2009, the SBS cancelled the requirement of “procyclical” provisions, but in September 2010 a new SBS resolution reinstated this kind of provisions. We estimate and record our allowance for loan losses according to the criteria set out in IAS 39, adjusting the local provisions as necessary. See Notes 3(f)(ii) and 3(i) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provisions for Country Risk

SBS Resolution No. 505-2002 requires the establishment of provisions for exposure to country risk, which includes sovereign risk, transfer risk and expropriation or nationalization risk that may affect operations with companies or individuals in foreign countries. The SBS has also established guidelines for the procedures and responsibilities for management of country risk.

Central Bank Reserve Requirements

 

Under Law 26702, banks and financial institutions are required to maintain legal reserve requirements for certain obligations. The changes in the reserve requirement regulations were made in the second half of 2010 in accordance with the monetary policy adopted by the Central Bank.

ThePeruvian Central Bank requires financial instructionsinstitutions to maintain marginal reserve requirements for obligations for local and foreign currency obligations. The exact level and method of calculation of the reserve requirement is established by the Peruvian Central Bank. The reserve requirements in Peru apply to obligations such as demand and time deposits, savings accounts, securities, certain bonds and funds administered by the bank. Additionally, the Peruvian Central Bank requires reserves on amounts due to foreign banks and other foreign financial institutions. Furthermore, as of January 2011, obligations of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates are also subject to the reserve requirement. Funding from the public sector directed to the microfinance sector and foreign credits with periods of 2 years or more are not subject to the regulation, among other exemptions.

 

In 2011, theThe Peruvian Central Bank as a part of its monetary policy to restrict internal demand and the risk of inflation, maintainedhas set the minimum level of reserves for banks at 9%. Bank obligations are subject to a marginal reserve ratio of 55% in foreign currency and 25% in local currency. The reserve funds can be constituted by cash and deposits, with a minimum of 3% held in deposits in current accounts inHowever, the Central Bank. Additionally, the marginal reserve requirement on foreign credits with a tenor of less than 2 years has remained at 60% since January 2011.

ThePeruvian Central Bank also establishes a remuneration rate on the marginal reserves those that exceedexceeds the minimum legal requirement of 9%, only if when such reserves are deposited in the Peruvian Central Bank’s current account. Foreign currency cannot be used to comply with reserve requirements for liabilities in domestic currency, and vice versa. The Peruvian Central Bank oversees compliance with the reserve requirements.

 

The reference interest rate is periodically revised by the Peruvian Central Bank in accordance with its monetary policy objectives. Once a month the board of directors of the Peruvian Central Bank approves and announces the Monetary Programmonetary program through a press release. The reference interest rate increased in 2008 reaching a maximum level of 6.5%. During 2009In mid-2010, the Peruvian Central Bank started to loosen its monetary policy stance as a response to the deceleration of private spending and the deterioration of the economy. The Central Bank reduced the reference interest rate from 6.50% to 1.25% during that year. In May 2010, the Central Bank changed the direction of its monetary policy to a more restrictive position in line withto account for the rapid growth of domestic demand and the potential for dangerous levels of inflation. Since then, there have been several consecutive increases in the reference interest rate, which was raised most recently in May 2011 from 4.00% to 4.25%. As of December 2011,2013, the reference interest rate remained at that level.had returned 4.00%, after an unexpected decrease in November 2013.

 

In recentthe past few years, the Peruvian Central Bank has on numerous occasions changedbeen actively changing the reserve requirement applicable to Peruvian financial institutions as part of its monetary policy.policy, consistent with the practice of several other Latin American countries. Reserve requirements are mainly used to prevent deteriorations in credit markets arising from sudden changes that may negatively impact external and domestic financiers. The regulationsuse of reserve requirements considers the different sources of macro risks associated with the structure of the obligations of financial institutions. Therefore, the rate of required reserves is currently 14% for deposits in national currency, 50% for domestic obligations in foreign currency; 50% for short-term external liabilities; 20% for long-term and foreign trade obligations; and 120% for non-resident financial investors’ deposits in domestic currency.

As mentioned above, the Peruvian Central Bank has been actively using reserve requirements both in domestic and in foreign currency. Thus, from 2011 until April 2013, the rates of required reserves both in Nuevos Soles and in U.S. Dollars were changed and new reserve requirements were established to reduce banks’ incentives extend credit in U.S. Dollars. Reserve requirements have been particularly stringent in discouraging banks from granting loans in U.S. Dollars to households, as families are particularly vulnerable to foreign exchange credit risk.

This strategy of making adjustments in reserve requirements and raising the rates of required reserves on the obligations of the financial entities that wereoperate in Peru’s domestic market (quantitative tightening - QT) has been used to offset the effects of quantitative easing (QE) in developed economies. These measures have strengthened banks’ level of international liquidity while offsetting their exposure to short-term capital, thereby enhancing the Peruvian financial system’s ability to mitigate threats to the Peruvian economy.

Since May 2013, the increased likelihood that the FED would cut its quantitative easing measures has brought about a significant correction in the value of currencies and in the yields of sovereign bonds issued by emerging economies. The measures previously adopted by the Peruvian Central Bank, as described above, allowed the Peruvian economy to endure this period of greater volatility in global financial markets without a material deterioration the Peruvian credit market. However, since May 2013, the BCRP reduced the rate of reserve requirement in Nuevos Soles from 20% to 15%, which provided liquidity to meet an increased demand for credit in local currency, Demand for local currency in Peru had grown from a rate of 16.8% in April to 21.7% in October, as demand for credit in U.S. Dollars declined. This helped accelerate the de-dollarization of credit without generating upward pressures on interest rates in Nuevos Soles. Also contributing to the de-dollarization of credit, was a new reserve requirement established in October 2013, which required additional reserves for banks whose credit reached 1.05 times that of September 2013.

Changes in regulations put in place during 20112013 have reduced the amount of reserves required in local currency by an aggregate of S/.1,507 million and have increased the amount of reserves required in foreign currency by an aggregate of US$1,638 million. If reserve rates changed in 2013, reserves would have increased in S/.2,032.2,067 million and US$1,795992 million, inrespectively. During 2013, the average local currency reserves rate decreased to 15.3% from 19.0% and the average foreign currency respectively. This new environment has led to an increase in the funding cost of the bank. Changes in the reserve requirement regulation may adversely affect the bank´s business, financial condition and results of operations. Even though the marginal required rates have been stable since April 2011, the averagereserves rate increased to 14.04%44.2% from 13.24% in Nuevos Soles and to 38.7% from 38.0% in foreign currency.41.7%. In December 2011,2013, the estimated reserve position of commercial banks was S/.9,402.17,850 million and US$8,99112,615 million in local and foreign currency, respectively.

 

Lending Activities

 

Law 26702 sets the maximum amount of credit that a financial institution may extend to a single borrower. A single borrower includes an individual or an economic group. An economic group constituting a single or common risk includes a person, such person’s close relatives and the companies in which such person or close relatives have significant share ownership or decision-making capability. Significant decision-making capability is deemed to be present when, among other factors, a person or group can exercise material and continuous influence upon the decisions of a company, when a person or company holds seats on the board of directors or has principal officers in another company, or when it can be assumed that one company or person is the beneficial recipient of credit facilities granted to another company.

The limit on credit that may be extended to one borrower varyvaries according to the type of borrower and the collateral received. The limit applicable to credit for any Peruvian borrower is 10% of the bank’s regulatory capital, applied to both unconsolidated and consolidated records, which may be increased to up to 30% if the loan is collateralized in a manner acceptable under Law 26702. If a financial institution exceeds these limits, the SBS may impose a fine on the institution. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the 10.0% credit limit per borrower of BCP, unconsolidated, was US$384.7 million, US$350.1 million and US$267.1 million, respectively, for unsecured loans, and the 30.0% limit for secured loans was US$1,154.2 million, US$1,050.5 million and US$801.3 million, respectively, for secured loans.the last three years.

(vi) Grupo Pacífico

Overview

 

Grupo Pacífico’s operations are regulated by Law 26702 and the SBS. Peruvian insurance companies must submit regular reports to the SBS concerning their operations. In addition, the SBS conducts on-sight reviews on an annual basis. The SBS conducts these reviews primarily to evaluate a company’s compliance with solvency margin and reserve requirements, investment requirements and rules governing the recognition of premium income. If the SBS determines that a company is unable to meet the solvency margin or technical reserve requirements, or is unable to pay claims as they come due, it may either liquidate the company or permit it to merge with another insurance company.

 

On May 27, 2013, a new Peruvian insurance law, Insurance Act No. 29946, became effective. The Insurance Act governs all insurance contracts, except for those that are expressly governed by other regulations. It substantially changes how insurance policies are offered by insurance companies, regulates the information provided by the insured, and includes changes to termination and arbitration clauses included in insurance contracts. The Act also provides a list of terms and conditions that cannot be included in any insurance contract and ensures that any changes in the contract can only be made if 45 days’ notice is given to the policiyholder prior to renewal of the policy. Other measures include restrictions on the duration and renewal of contracts, consumer protection rules, and regulations governing how to address non-payment of premium installments required under insurance contracts.

In September 2013, the Superintendent of Bank and Insurance – SBS, initiated reforms to Peru’s private pensions system, by establishing a tender process for the exclusive right to manage the SPP’s collective insurance policy for disability, survivorship and burial expenses. Tender offers, for the collective insurance contract were submitted on September 13, 2013 and the winning tender obtained the right to manage the SPP’s collective insurance policies from October 01, 2013 until December 2014. The tender submitted by our subsidiary Pacifico Vida was not selected, and as a result Pacífico Vida has not issued insurance policies to SPP for disability, survivorship and burial expenses since October 2013.

Under Peruvian law, insurance companies may engage in certain credit risk operations, such as guarantees, bonds and trusteeships, but are prohibited from offering other banking services, operating mutual funds or offering portfolio management services. In addition, insurance companies may not conduct brokerage operations for third parties.

 

Peruvian insurance companies are also prohibited from having an ownership interest in other insurance or reinsurance companies of the same class or in private pension funds.

Establishment of an Insurance Company

 

Insurance companies must be authorized by the SBS to commence operations. Peruvian law establishes certain minimum capital requirements for insurance and reinsurance companies, which must be satisfied by cash investments in the company. The statutory amounts are expressed in constant value.

 

Solvency Requirements

 

Pursuant to Law 26702, the SBS regulates the solvency margin of Peruvian insurance companies. The solvency margin calculations take into account the amount of premiums written and losses incurred during a specified period prior to the date of the calculation.

 

Insurance companies must also maintain solvency equity, which must be the greater of (i) the solvency margin and (ii) the minimum capital requirement, as established by law. The required amount of solvency equity is recalculated at least quarterly. If an insurance company has outstanding credit risk operations, part of the solvency equity must be set aside for its coverage.

 

Legal Reserve Requirements

 

Peruvian law also requires that all insurance companies establish a legal guarantee reserve for policyholders by setting aside 10% of income before taxes until the reserve reaches at least 35% of paid-in capital.

Reserve Requirements

 

Pursuant to Law 26702 and regulations issued by the SBS, Peruvian insurance companies must establish technical reserves. See “—(6) Pacífico Peruano Suiza—Seguros Generales—(ii) Claims and Reserves.”Reserves”. Law 26702 also requires insurance companies to create a reserve for IBNR claims whichthat are reflected as a liability, net of recoveries and reinsurance, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.our consolidated financial statements. Reserves for IBNR claims are estimated by using generally accepted actuarial reserving methods. See Note 3(e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.our consolidated financial statements. Finally, Grupo Pacífico is required by the SBS to establish pre-event reserves for risk of catastrophes, which, in accordance with IFRS principles, are not considered in our financial statements. See “—(6) Pacífico Peruano Suiza—Seguros Generales—(ii) Claims and Reserves.”Reserves”.

 

Investment Requirements

 

Pursuant to Law 26702, the total amount of an insurance company’s solvency equity and technical reserves must be permanently supported by diversified assets, which may not be pledged or otherwise encumbered. The investment regulations further state that deposits in and bonds of one financial institution together cannot exceed 10% of the total of an insurer’s solvency equity and technical reserves combined. In general, no more than 20% of an insurance company’s combined solvency equity and technical reserves may be invested in instruments (including stocks and bonds) issued by a company or group of companies. In order for an insurance company to invest in non-Peruvian securities, the securities must be rated by an internationally recognized credit rating company and the asset class must be authorized by Peruvian SBS regulations. Securities owned by insurance companies must be registered in the Public Registry of Securities of Peru or the comparable registry of their respective country.

Related Party Transactions

 

Law 26702 generally provides that insurance companies may not extend credit to or guarantee the obligations of employees or members of the board of directors, except for certain home mortgage loans to employees.

 

Ownership Restrictions

 

Law 26702 sets forth the same types of restrictions regarding the ownership and transfer of insurance company shares as it does regarding the ownership and transfer of shares in banks. See “—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation—(ii) BCP—Overview”.

Under Peruvian legislation, AFPs can only have one type of business activity, that is,activity; they can only offer services linked to the administration of pension funds under the category of Individual Capital Accounts.individual capital accounts. Also, AFPs must pay benefits provided by Law and administer retirement, disability, death benefit and funeral expense risks. AFPs must submit audited financial information, in accordance with SBS regulations. There are certain limitations on the ownership and transfer of AFP sharesshares.

SBS authorization is required for an AFP to begin operations. Peruvian law establishes a minimum capital requirement, paid in cash by the shareholders.

 

SBS has put in place many investment limits. These limits, restrain the amounts AFPs are allowed to invest consideringwhich, among others, restrict investments in certain asset class,classes, economic group, issuer, among others.groups, and issuers. In addition, some of these limits vary regardingaccording to the risk profile of the fund. Among theseThe limits the most general investment limits are as follows:are:

 

·
The total amount invested in instruments issued or guaranteed by the Peruvian State cannot exceed 30% of the fund value;
The total amount invested in instruments issued or guaranteed by BCRP cannot exceed 30% of the fund value;
The total amount jointly invested under the two aforementioned limits cannot exceed 40% of the fund value and;
The total amount invested in instruments issued by the government, financial institutions, and non-financial institutions whose commercial activities are mostly abroad, cannot exceed 50% of the fund value. For this specific limit, the SBS sets the maximum and the Peruvian State cannot exceed 30% of the fund value;

·The total amount invested in instruments issued or guaranteed by BCRP cannot exceed 30% of the fund value;

·The total amount jointly invested under the two aforementioned points cannot exceed 40% of the fund value and;

·The total amount invested in instruments issued by the government, financial institutions, and non-financial institutions whose commercial activities are mostly abroad, cannot exceed 50% of the fund value. The Central Bank has set a maximum operating sub-limit at 30%.

As mentioned before, the Central Bank can set maximumadministers the effective level (operating limit). As of December 31, 2013, the operating percentages and/or sub-limits tolimit is situated at 36.5 % and it will be increased 50 bps every month until it reaches the aforementioned investment limits.

40% level in July 2014.

 

SBS requires a guaranteed minimum profitability for funds under management. Part of the guarantee is the Encaje Legal, an obligatory reserve, which must be funded by the AFP. The amount will depend on the instruments in the portfolio, but is, on average, 1% of funds under management. In addition, Peruvian law establishes that companies must set up a legal reserve equivalent to 10% of net income, until the reserve is at least 20% of the capital.

 

Private Pension System Reform:

Material changes to Peru’s private pension system in 2013 include:

(12)1.Selected Statistical InformationAuctions for management of new affiliates:

Peru’s Law to reform the Private Pension System sets forth a new process by which individuals, which are called affiliates, may become affiliated with the SPP. Under the law, auctions are held every 24 months to determine which company will have the exclusive right to manage the accounts of new SPP affiliates for a two year period, the first such period beginning on February 1, 2013 and ending on January 31, 2015. Bid awards will be made to the AFP that offers the lowest administration fees. New affiliates to the SPP are required to affiliate with the AFP that obtains the bid award, and the new affiliates must remain with this fund manager for 24 months.

A competitive bidding process took place in September 2012 to determine which company would manage new affiliate accounts during a transitional period from October 2012 through the end of January 2013 (subsequently extended to May 2013). Prima AFP won the September tender and managed the new accounts during the transitional period. In December 2012, another tender was held to determine who would manage the accounts for the first full two year period. A new participant in the system won the tender, but that participant did not have the operational capacity to manage new affiliate accounts as of February 1, 2013. As a result, Prima AFP continued managing the new accounts until May 31, 2013. The new participant assumed responsibility for managing the accounts of new SPP affiliates on June 1, 2013.

2.A new scheme for administrative commissions and a new process for affiliates to choose their commission scheme:

As part of the SPP reform, changes were made in the way AFPs charge commissions. The currently permissible commission schemes are:

(i)Commission based on flow: applied on the monthly remuneration base of the affiliates. This fee structure was in place prior to the adoption of the Law to Reform the Private Pension System.
(ii)Mixed commissions: composed of a flow-based commissions, which is calculated using the affiliate’s monthly remuneration, plus an annual commission on the new balance (generated as of February 2013 for new affiliates to the system or as of June 2013 for old affiliates to the system who choose this commission scheme).

The scheme permitting commission based on flow applies only to existing affiliates that elected to be governed by that commission structure prior to May 31, 2013. Closed to 80% of all existing SPP contributors (those affiliates that are actively contributing to their funds) elected the flow-based commission scheme, while 20% opted for a mixed commission. All new affiliates will be subject to the mixed fee structure. The mixed fee structure will be in place for a 10-year transitional period, after which an AFP’s fee will be based solely on its funds under management. These changes in the fee structure of Peru’s pension funds are designed to align the interest of AFPs and their clients.

Prima AFP administrative commissions are as follows:

Commission based on flow: 1.60% applied to affiliates’ monthly remuneration.
Mixed commission: composed of 1.51% commission on the affiliates’ monthly remuneration, plus a 1.25% annual commission, which is applied to the total balance.

The result of Prima AFP’s election commission from contributors was similar to those obtained by the SPP (80% chose the commission for flow and 20% opted for a mixed commission).

3.Tender for a Collective Insurance Policy

Prior to September 2013, each AFP held private tenders to determine who would manage its disability, survivorship and burial policies. As such, the insurance company winning a tender was responsible for the disability, survivorship and burial policies associated with the tender that it was awarded, and policy insurers varied among AFPs. Under a new scheme that became effective in 2013, individual AFPs no longer hold private tenders. Instead, pursuant to the Law to Reform the SPP, a public tender is held for a collective insurance policy that manages risks of disability, survivorship and burial costs for all AFPs. The first tender for a collective insurance policy was held in September 2013, and the winners of that tender will manage the disability, survivorship and burial policies for all AFPs from October 2013 through December 2014. After the public tender in 2013, a new premium, equivalent to 1.23% of remuneration, was set for all SPP affiliates. The new disability, survivorship and burial policy will not affect revenues of AFPs because the insurance premium for this policy is not taken from the AFPs’ commissions.

4.The extension of time for the obligatory affiliation with a pension system for independent workers under the age of 40.

To expand the SPP’s coverage, the Law to Reform the SPP required independent workers under the age of 40 to become part of the SPP system and affiliate with an AFP. Although this obligatory affiliation was initially set to begin in August 2013, the Government decided to extend the deadline to August 2014. The Government also indicated that the commission rates applicable to obligatory contributions would be progressively implemented over time.

As of January 2014, regulations addressing the following items under the Law to Reform the SPP have not been issued:

Investment reform: New regulations are expected in 2014 with regard to alternative funds, financial derivatives and mechanisms that make the investment process more flexible.

Capital protection funds: once created capital protection funds will be designed to ensure that monies belonging to persons over the age of 65 maintain value. As a result, capital protection funds will offer stable growth and very low volatility.

Pension system for micro businesses: a social pension system for employees and owners of micro businesses under the age of 40 who receive monthly income up to 1.5 times Peru’s minimum wage (RMV by its Spanish initials) will be established. Under this system, affiliate workers will receive a matching contribution from the state of up to the amount contributed by the affiliate.

(i) Average Balance Sheets and Income from Interest-Earning Assets

 

The tables below set forth selected statistical information based on our average balance sheets prepared on a consolidated basis. Except as otherwise indicated, we have classified average balances by currency (Nuevos Soles or foreign currency, (primarilyprimarily U.S. Dollars)) rather than by the domestic or international nature of the balance. In addition, except where noted, the average balances are based on the quarterly ending balances in each year. Any of these quarter-end balances that were denominated in Nuevos Soles have been converted into U.S. Dollars using the applicable SBS exchange rate as of the date of such balance. Our management does not believe that the stated averages present trends materially differdifferent from those that would be presented by daily averages.

(1)Equity securities in our account are categorized as maturing within one year.

 

The maturities of our investment securities classified byas trading and available-for-sale, as of December 31, 2011,2013, are described in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

 

Pursuant to the criteria described below, our management has determined that the unrealized losses as of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 were temporary and intends to hold each investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for a potential recovery in fair value. This holding period will last until the earlier of the investment’s recovery or maturity.

 

For equity investments (shares), management considers the following criteria to determine whether a loss is temporary:

 

The length of time and the extent to which fair value has been below cost;

The severity of the impairment;

The cause of the impairment and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and

Activity in the market of the issuer which may indicate adverse credit conditions.

 

For debt investments (fixed maturity), management considers the following criteria to determine whether a loss is temporary:

 

Management assesses the probability that the company will receive all amounts due (principal and interest) under the contract of the security. It considers a number of factors in identifying a credit-impaired security, including: (i) the nature of the security and the underlying collateral, (ii) the amount of subordination or credit enhancement supporting the security, (iii) the published credit rating and (iv) other analyses of the probable cash flows from the security. If recovery of all amounts due is not likely, management may determine that credit impairment exists and record unrealized losses in our consolidated income statement. The unrealized loss recorded in income represents the security’s decline in fair value, which includes the decline due to forecasted cash flow shortfalls as well as widening market spread.

 

For securitiesa security with an unrealized lossesloss not identified as a credit impairment, management determines whether it is desirable to hold the security for a period of time to allow for a potential recovery in the security’s amortized cost. Management estimates a security’s forecasted recovery period using current estimates of volatility in market interest rates (including liquidity and risk premiums). Management considers a number of factors to determine whether to hold an investment, including (i) a quantitative estimate of the expected recovery period (which may extend to maturity), (ii) the severity of the impairment and (iii) its strategy with respect to the security or portfolio. If management determines it is not desirable to hold the security for a sufficient period of time to allow for a potential recovery in the security’s amortized cost, we record the unrealized loss in our consolidated income statement.

The loan portfolio categories set forth in the table above are based on SBS regulations, which apply to loans generated by BCP and ASHC.ASB. Pursuant to SBS guidelines, we categorize loans as follows:

 

Loans: Basic term loans documented by promissory notes and other extensions of credit, such as mortgage loans, credit cards and other consumer loans in various forms, including trade finance loans to importers and exporters on specialized terms adapted to the needs of the international trade transaction.

 

Leasing Transactions: Transactions that involve our acquisition of an asset and the financial leasing of that asset to a client.

Discounted Notes: Loans discounted at the outset (the client signs a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness for the principal amount payable at a future date). Discounted loans also include discounting of drafts, where we make a loan supported by a draft signed by one party and discounted by another party, with recourse to both parties.
Factoring: The sale of title to a company’s accounts receivables to a bank (or financial company). The receivables are sold without recourse, and the bank cannot recover from the seller in the event that the accounts are uncollectible. Under factoring loans, the seller receives funds from the bank prior to the average maturity date based on the invoice amount of the receivable, less cash discounts and allowances for estimated claims and returns, among other items.

Advances and Overdrafts: Extensions of credit to clients by way of an overdraft facility in the client’s checking account. This category also includes secured short-term advances.

Refinanced Loans: Loans that were refinanced because the client was unable to pay at maturity. A loan is categorized as a refinanced loan when a debtor is experiencing payment problems, unless the debtor is current on all interest payments and pays down at least 20% of the principal amount of the original loan. We have distinguished a sub-group titled “Restructured Loans,” which is defined as loans extended under the bankruptcy protection procedures established in the Equity Restructuring Law.

Past-Due Loans: Includes overdue loans. See “—Past-Due Loan Portfolio” for further detail.

Concentrations of Loan Portfolio and Lending Limits

 

We haveAs of December 31, 2013, loans and other contingent credits withto our 20 largest customers (considered economic groups), which, asequaled US$4,262.2 million, and represented 18.63% of December 31, 2011, was US$3,379.3 million. The amount of outstanding loans, US$3,379.3 million, represents 19.0% of theour total loan portfolio. See “—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation—(ii) BCP—Lending Activities” for the definition of “economic group.”group”. Our total loans and other contingent credits outstanding to each of these customers ranged from US$369.1395.9 million to US$115.2111.7 million, including 18 customers with over US$122.5140.0 million. Total loans and other contingent credits outstanding to our 20 largest customers were ranked in the following risk categories as of December 31, 2011:2012: Class A (normal)—99.9%99.3%; Class B (potential problems)—0.1%0.7%; Class C (substandard)—0%; Class D (doubtful)—0%; and Class E (loss)—0%. See “—Classification of the Loan Portfolio.”Portfolio”.

 

BCP’s loans to a single borrower are subject to lending limits imposed by Law 26702. See “—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation—(ii) BCP—Lending Activities.”Activities”. The lending limits depend on the nature of the borrower involved and the type of collateral received. The sum of BCP’s loans to and deposits in either another Peruvian universal bank or Peruvian financial institution, plus any guarantees of third party performance received by BCP from such institution, may not exceed 30% of BCP’s regulatory capital (as defined by the SBS). The sum of BCP’s loans to and deposits in non-Peruvian financial institutions, plus any guarantees of third party performance received by BCP from such institutions, are limited to 5%, 10% or 30% of BCP’s regulatory capital, depending upon the level of government supervision of the institution and whether the institution is recognized by the Peruvian Central Bank as an international bank of prime credit quality. The limits on lending to non-Peruvian financial institutions increases to 50% of BCP’s regulatory capital if the amount by which such loans exceed the 5%, 10% or 30% limits is backed by certain letters of credit.

BCP’s loans to directors and employees and their relatives have a global limit of 7% of regulatory capital and an individual limit of 5% of such global limit.

 

Loans to non-Peruvian individuals or companies that are not financial institutions have a limit of 5% of BCP’s regulatory capital. However, this limit increases to 10% if the additional 5% is guaranteed by a mortgage or certain publicly-traded securities. The limit rises to 30% if the additional amount is guaranteed by certain banks or by cash deposits in BCP. Lending on an unsecured basis to individuals or companies residing in Peru that are not financial institutions is limited to 10% of BCP’s regulatory capital. This limit rises to 15% if the additional 5% is guaranteed by a mortgage, certain securities, equipment or other collateral, and to 20% if the additional amount is either backed by certain debt instruments guaranteed by other local banks or a foreign bank determined by the Peruvian Central Bank to be of prime credit quality, or by other highly liquid securities at market value. The single borrower lending limit for loans backed by a cash deposit at BCP or by debt obligations of the Peruvian Central Bank is 30% of BCP’s regulatory capital.

 

With an unconsolidatedIncluding the regulatory capital of BCP (without subsidiaries), which amounted to S/.7,201.5.10,755.1 million (US$2,671.23,847.9 million) on December 31, 2011,2013, BCP’s legal lending limits varied from S/.720.2.1,075.4 million (US$267.1384.8 million) to S/.3,600.8.5,377 million (US$1,335.61,923.8 million). Our consolidated lending limits, based on itsour regulatory capital on a consolidated basis of US$3,022.74,828.4 million on December 31, 2011,2013, ranged from US$302.3482.8 million to US$1,511.42,414.2 million. As of December 31, 2011,2013, BCP was in compliance with the lending limits of Law 26702 lending limits.26702.

 

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we complied with the applicable legal lending limits in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These limits are calculated quarterly based upon our consolidated equity plus reserves for impaired loans not specifically identified at quarter-end. We have also set internal lending limits, which are more restrictive than those imposed by law. A limited number of exceptions to our internal limits have been authorized by our board of directors based on the credit quality of the borrower, the term of the loan, and the amount and quality of collateral provided. We may, in appropriate and limited circumstances, increase or choose to exceed these internal limits as long as our credit exposure does not exceed the legal lending limits.

 

We may experience an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations if (i) customers to which we have significant credit exposure are not able to satisfy their obligations to us, and any related collateral is not sufficient to cover these obligations, or (ii) a reclassification of one or more of these loans or other contingent credits results in an increase in provisions for loan losses.

Classification of the Loan Portfolio

 

We classify BCP’s loan portfolio (which includes the loan portfolio of BCP Bolivia, Edyficar and Solucion EAH) and ASB’s loan portfolio in accordance with internal practices. According to these criteria, all loans and other credits are classified into one of four categories based upon the purpose of the loan. These categories are commercial, micro-business, consumer and residential mortgage. Commercial loans are generally those that finance the production and sale of goods and services, including commercial leases, as well as credit card debt on cards held by business entities. Micro-business loans, which are exclusively targeted for the production and sale of goods and services, are made to individuals or companies with no more than S/.300,000 in total loans received from the financial system (excluding mortgage loans). Consumer loans are generally loans granted to individuals, including credit card transactions, overdrafts on personal demand deposit accounts, leases, and financing goods or services not related to a business activity. Residential mortgage loans are all loans to individuals for the purchase, construction, remodeling, subdivision or improvement of the individual’s home, in each case backed by a mortgage. Mortgage loans made to directors and employees of a company are also considered residential mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed loans are considered commercial loans. The classification of the loan determines the amount to reserve should the borrower fail to make payments as they become due.

We employ a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. Our most traditional practice is taking security for fund advances. We implement guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for loans and advances are mortgages over residential properties, liens over business assets (such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable), and liens over financial instruments (such as debt securities and equities).

 

Long term finance and lending to corporate entities are generally secured, while revolving individual credit facilities are generally unsecured. In order to minimize credit loss, we seek additional collateral as soon as impairment indicators become apparent.

 

We determine the appropriate collateral to hold as security for financial assets (other than loans) according to the nature of the instrument. Debt securities, treasury and other eligible bills are generally unsecured, with the exception of asset-backed securities and other similar instruments, which are secured by portfolios of financial instruments.

 

Our management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement, and monitors the market value of the additional collateral obtained during its review of the allowance for impairment losses. Our policy is to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly manner. We use the proceeds to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. In general, we do not use repossessed properties for our own business.

 

Regulations promulgated by the SBS also require Peruvian banks toWe classify all loans into one of five categories depending upon each loan’s degree of risk of nonpayment.non-payment. We review our loan portfolio on a continuing basis, while the SBS reviews our portfolio as it deems necessary or prudent. In compliance with SBS guidelines, webasis. We classify our loans based upon risk of nonpayment by assessing the following factors: (i) the payment history of the particular loans, (ii) the history of our dealings with the borrower, (iii) the borrower’s management, (iv) the borrower’s operating history, (v) the borrower’s repayment capability, (vi) the borrower’s availability of funds, (vii) the status of any collateral or guarantee, (viii) the borrower’s financial statements, (iv) the general risk of the sector in which the borrower operates, (x) the borrower’s risk classification made by other financial institutions and (xi) other relevant factors. The classification of the loan determines the amount of the required loan loss provision.

We classify our loan portfolio into one of five risk categories, depending upon the degree of risk of non-payment of each debtor. These categories are: (i) normal, (ii) potential problems, (iii) substandard, (iv) doubtful and (v) loss. The categories have the following characteristics:

 

Normal (Class A): Debtors with commercial loans in this category have complied on a timely basis with their obligations under the loan. At the time of evaluation, there is no reason to doubt the debtor’s ability to repay interest and principal on the agreed dates, and there is no reason to believe that the status will change before the next evaluation. Before we place a loan in Class A, we must have a clear understanding of the use of the funds and the origin of the cash flows to be used by the debtor to repay the loan. Consumer loans are categorized as Class A when payments are current or up to eight days past due. Residential mortgage loans are categorized as Class A when payments are current or up to 30 days past due.

 

Potential problems (Class B): Debtors with commercial loans in this category demonstrate certain deficiencies at the time of evaluation, which, if not corrected in a timely manner, imply risks regarding the recovery of the loan. Common characteristics of loans or credits in this category include: (i) delays in loan payments which are promptly covered, (ii) a general lack of information required to analyze the credit, (iii) out-of-date financial information, (iv) temporary economic or financial imbalances on the part of the debtor which could affect its ability to repay the loan, (v) market conditions that could affect the economic sector in which the debtor is active. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class B when payments are between nine9 and 30 days past due. Residential mortgage loans are categorized as Class B when payments are between 31 and 90 days past due.

 

Substandard (Class C): Debtors with commercial loans in this category demonstrate serious financial weakness. They often do not have sufficient operating results or available income to cover their financial obligations, and do not have reasonable short-term prospects for strengthening their financial capacity. Debtors demonstrating the same deficiencies that warrant Class B classification will warrant Class C classification if those deficiencies are such that if not corrected in the near term, they could impede the recovery of principal and interest on the loan on the agreed-upon terms. Commercial loans are classified in this category when payments are between 61 and 120 days past due. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class C when payments are between 31 and 60 days past due. Residential mortgage loans are categorized as Class C when payments are between 9161 and 120 days past due.

 

Doubtful (Class D): Debtors with commercial loans in this category demonstrate characteristics that make it doubtful that the loan will be recovered. Although recovery is doubtful, if there is a reasonable possibility that the creditworthiness of the debtor might improve in the near future, it is appropriate to categorize the loan as Class D. These loans are distinguished from Class E loans by the requirement that the debtor remain in operation, generate cash flow, and make payments on the loan, even if the payments are less than those required by the contract. Commercial loans are categorized as Class D if payments are between 121 and 365 days past due. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class D when payments are between 61 and 120 days past due. Residential mortgage loans are categorized as Class D when payments are between 121 and 365 days past due.

 

Loss credits (Class E): Commercial loans or credits are categorized as Class E if the loans are considered unrecoverable or for any other reason the loans should not appear on our books as an asset based on the originally contracted terms. Commercial loans are categorized as Class E when payments are more than 365 days past due. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class E when payments are more than 120 days past due. Residential mortgage loans are categorized as Class E when payments are more than 365 days past due.

 

We continually review our loan portfolio to assess the completion and accuracy of the grades awarded.our loan classifications.

 

All loans considered impaired (those classified as substandard, doubtful or loss) are analyzed by management. Management will address the impairment in two areas, individually assessed allowances and collectively assessed allowances, as follows:

Individually Assessed Allowance

 

We determine the appropriate allowances for each individually significant loan or advance on an individual basis. In determining the allowance, we consider items such as (i) the sustainability of the party’s business plan, (ii) its ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, (iii) projected receipts and the expected dividend payout should bankruptcy ensue, (iv) the availability of other financial support and the potential realized value of collateral, and (v) the timing of the expected cash flows. Impairment losses are evaluated at each reporting date, unless unforeseen circumstances require more attention.

Collectively Assessed Allowance

 

We assess allowances collectively for (i) losses on loans and advances that are not individually significant (including consumer and residential mortgages) and (ii) individually significant loans and advances where there is not yet objective evidence of individual impairment (the Class A and B loans). We evaluate allowances on each reporting date, and each portfolio receives a separate review.

 

Our collective assessment takes into account an impairment that is likely to be present in the portfolio even though there is no objective evidence of the impairment in an individual assessment. We estimate impairment losses by considering the following information: (i) historical losses on the portfolio, (ii) current economic conditions, (iii) the approximate delay between the time a loss is likely to be incurred and the time it will be identified as requiring an individually assessed impairment allowance and (iv) expected receipts and recoveries once the impairment occurs. Local management is responsible for deciding the appropriate length of time, which can extend as long as one year. The impairment allowance is then reviewed by credit management to ensure it aligns with our overall policy.

 

We assess financial guarantees and letters of credit in the same way we assess loans.

 

When thea borrower is located in a country where there is an increased risk of difficulty servicing external debt, we assess the political and economic situation,conditions in that country, and anfactor additional country risk provision is provided.into our assessment.

 

When we determine that a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision for loan impairment. We write off these loans after all necessary procedures are completed and the amount of the loss is determined. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of the provision for loan impairment in our consolidated income statements.

All of our Class E loans and substantially all of our Class D loans are past due. Class C loans, although generally not past due, have demonstrated credit deterioration such that management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the loan repayment terms. Our manufacturing sector loans are primarily secured by warrants and liens on goods or by mortgages and our agricultural loans tend to be secured by trade bills and marketable securities. The Class C loans reflect the financial weakness of the individual borrower rather than any trend in the Peruvian manufacturing or agricultural industries in general.

Classification of the Loan Portfolio Based on the Borrower’s Payment Performance

 

We considerPast due and impaired loans to be past due depending on their type. Inare disclosed in accordance with SBS Resolution N°11356- 2008,rules. Under SBS rules, the time periods used to determine whether an installment or an entire loan balance is past due depends on their type. BCP considers loans past duedue: (i) after 15 days for corporate, large business and medium business loansloans; (ii) after 15 days;30 days for small and micro business loansloans; (iii) after 30 days; anddays for overdrafts; (iv) after 90 days for consumer, mortgage and leasing loans. In the case of consumer, mortgage and leasing loans, after 90 days. On January 1, 2001, the SBS issued accounting rules that require Peruvian banks to consider overdraftspast due installments are considered past due after 30 to 90 days. ASHCAfter 90 days, the outstanding balance of the loan is considered past due. ASB considers all overdue loans past due, except for consumer loans, which are considered past due when the scheduled principal and/or interest payments are overdue for more than 90 days. BCP Bolivia considers loans past due after 30 days. ForThe entire loan balance under IFRS 7 disclosure requirements on past-due loans,is considered past due when debtors have failed to make a payment when contractually due. For more detail, see Note 29.1 tonote 32.1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements.

 

As of December 31, 2013, Credicorp did not have any loans that were overdue by more than 90 days and that were still accruing interest. Interest income is suspended when the collection of loans is doubtful, such as when overdue by more than 90 days. When a borrower or securities issuer defaults earlier than 90 days, the income is excluded from interest income until it is received. Uncollected income on these loans is applied against income. When management determines that the debtor’s financial condition has improved (a debtor’s financial condition is only considered improved once the debtor has already paid the principal and interest due on its loans), we continue recording interest on an accrual basis. Therefore, we do not accrue interest on past-due loans, but interest on past-due loans is recognized only whenif and to the extent received.

 

Over the past five years, we have recognized interest income on these loans of US$3.6 million in 2007, US$5.2 million in 2008, US$7.2 million in 2009, US$14.2 million in 2010, and US$15.4 million in 2011.2011, US$21.0 million in 2012 and US$24.0 million in 2013. With the exception of discounted notes and overdrafts, accrued but unpaid interest is reversed for past-due loans.

Transactions between the Group’s entities, including balances, gains or losses are eliminated.subsidiaries.

 

Business combinations made after January 1, 2010Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are accounted for usingattributed to the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregateequity holders of the fair valueparent of consideration transferred (measured atCredicorp and to the acquisition date) and the amount of any non-controlling interestinterests, even if this results in the acquiree. For each business combination,non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the acquirer measures the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in the caption “Administrative expenses”financial statements of the consolidated statement of income.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financialsubsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with Credicorp’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, assumed for appropriate classificationequity, income, expenses and designationcash flows relating to transactions between members of Credicorp are eliminated in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.full on consolidation.

 

Any contingent consideration to be transferred byA change in the acquirerownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of any contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it will not be remeasured until it is finally settled.

Business combinations prior to January 1, 2010, in comparison to the above-mentioned requirements, were accounted for using the purchase method. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition formed part of the acquisition costs. The non-controlling interest (formerly known as minority interest) was measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contingent consideration was recognized if, and only if, the Group had a present obligation, the economic outflow was more likely than not and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent adjustments to the contingent consideration were recognized as part of goodwill.an equity transaction.

 

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

Net equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented in the consolidated statements of financial position. Income attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

Acquisitions of non-controlling interest prior to January 1, 2010, were accounted for using the parent entity extension method, whereby, the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired were recognized in goodwill.(ii) Associates

Acquisitions of non-controlling interest starting January1, 2010, are recorded directly in equity; the difference between the amounts paid and the share of the net assets acquired is a debit or credit to equity. Therefore, no additional goodwill is recorded upon purchase of non-controlling interest and no additional gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of a non-controlling interest.

(ii)Associates

 

An associate is an entity over which the GroupCredicorp has significant influence. Significant influence but not control. Investmentsis the power to participate in these entities represent holdings of between 20the financial and 50 percentoperating policy decisions of the voting rights; andentity, but is not control over those policies.

The considerations made to determining significant influence are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

Credicorp’s investments in its associates are recognized initially at cost and then are accounted for byusing the “equity method”. The Groupequity method.

Credicorp does not have significant investments in associates; therefore,as a result, they are included in the caption “Other assets” in the consolidated statements of financial position; gains resulting from the use of the equity method of accounting also are included in the caption “Other income” of the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Credicorp’sFunctional and presentation currency

Credicorp has determined that its functional and presentation currency is the United States Dollar (U.S. Dollar or US$), because it reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the Company. In addition, Credicorp’smost of Credicorp entities, insofar as its main operations andand/or transactions in the different countries where itCredicorp operates, such as: loans granted, financing obtained, sale of insurance premiums, interest and similar income, interest and similar expenses and an important percentage of purchases; are established and settled in U.S. Dollars.

 

Financial statementsBecause of each of Credicorp’s subsidiaries are measuredtheir affiliation with Credicorp Capital Colombia, IM Trust and private hospitals have a functional currency different from the U.S. Dollar; they were translated for consolidating purposes using the currencymethodology established by IAS 21, “The Effects of the countryChanges in which each entity operates and converted into U.S. Dollars (functional and presentation currency)Foreign Exchanges Rates”, as follows:

 

Monetary assetsAssets and liabilities, are converted at the free marketclosing rate 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 translation differences were recognized in the caption “Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations” of the consolidated statements of other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency balances or transactions

Foreign currency transactions or balances are those realized in currencies different from our functional currency or the functional currency of our subsidiaries, as applicable. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency rate at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position.

Change in Functional Currency for Financial Reporting

Due to changes in the economic environment in which Credicorp’s main subsidiary, BCP operates, and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, we conducted a review of the functional currency of Credicorp Ltd. and its subsidiaries in Peru. We conclude that there has been a change in Credicorp’s functional currency from U.S. Dollars to Nuevos Soles, effective January 1, 2014. The main indicators we considered were: (i) changes in the economic environment of the country where our main subsidiary (BCP) operates; (ii) the gradual increase of loans and deposits, income and expenses in Nuevos Soles; and (iii) the regulatory and competitive factors presented in the Peruvian financial system, which have entrenched the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar. This conclusion was discussed and approved by the Board of Directors in its session on January 22, 2014. See Note 34(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Income and expense recognition from banking activities

 

Interest income and expense for all interest-bearing financial instruments, including those related to financial instruments classified as held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized within “Interest and dividendsimilar income” and “Interest expense”and similar expenses” in the consolidated statements of income statement using the effective interest rate method, which is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

 

Interest income is suspended when collection of loans become doubtful, when loans are overdue more than 90 days or when the borrower or securities issuer defaults;defaults, if earlier than 90 days,days; such income is excluded from interest income until collected. Uncollected income on such loans is provisioned. When managementManagement determines that the debtor’s financial condition has improved, the recording of interest thereon is reestablished on an accrual basis. A debtor’s financial condition is only considered improved once the debtor has already paid the principal and interest due on its loans.

 

Interest income includes coupons earned on fixed income investment and trading securities and the accrued discount and premium on financial instruments. Dividends are recognized as income when they are declared.

 

Fees and commission income are recognized on an accrual basis when earned.basis. Contingent credit fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down and other credit related fees are deferred (together with any direct incremental costs) and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan.

 

All other revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Insurance activities

Accounting policies for insurance activities

For the adoption of IFRS 4 “Insurance contract”, Management concluded that USGAAP used as of December 31, 2004 was the relevant framework to be used, as permitted by IFRS 4. These policies are described in note 3(e) of Credicorp consolidadted financial statements.

 

Insurance contracts are those contracts where the Grouppursuant o which Credicorp (the insurer) has accepted 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 GroupCredicorp holds. As a general guideline, the GroupCredicorp determines whether it has significant insurance risk by comparing benefits paid with benefits payable if the insured event did not occur. Insurance contracts can also transfer financial risk.

 

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime,term, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations extinguishare extinguished or expire.

 

Life insurance contracts offered by Credicorp include retirement, disability and survival insurance, annuities and individual life which includes unit linked insurance contracts. The Groupnon-life insurance contracts mainly include automobile, fire and allied and technical lines and healthcare.

Credicorp cedes insurance risk in the normal course of businessthe operations for all of its operations.businesses. Reinsurance assets represent balances due from reinsurance companies. Reinsurance ceded is placed on both a proportional and non–proportional basis.

 

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision or settled claims and ceded premiums associated with the reinsurer’s policies and are in accordance with the related reinsurance contract.

 

Reinsurance assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting year. Impairment occurs when there is objective evidence as a result of an event that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset that the GroupCredicorp may not receive all outstanding amounts due under the terms of the contract and the event has a reliably measureable impact on the amounts that the GroupCredicorp will receive from the reinsurer. The impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the GroupCredicorp from its obligations to a policyholder.

 

The GroupCredicorp also assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of business for non-life insurance contracts when applicable. Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognized as revenue or expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the product classification of the reinsured business.

 

Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the related reinsurance contract contract.

 

Financial Instruments: Initial recognition and subsequent measurement:measurement

 

The GroupA financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument or another entity.

Credicorp classifies its financial instruments in one of the categories defined by IAS 39: financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; available-for-sale financial investments; held-to-maturity financial investments and other financial liabilities. The GroupCredicorp determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

 

The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on management’s intention when acquiring the financial instrument and the purpose and the Management intention for whichof the financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics.instrument. All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus any directly attributable incremental cost of acquisition or issue, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, for example the date that the GroupCredicorp commits to purchase or sell the asset. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis.

(i)

(i)                       Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, which designation is upon initial recognition and in an instrument by instrument basis. Derivatives financial instrument are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedging instruments.

 

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, and are presented in the caption “Trading securities” of the consolidated statements of financial position.

 

Management may only designate an instrument at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when the following criteria are met:

 

the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or
the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or
the financial instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives, which significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract.

 

Changes in fair value of designated financial assets through profit or loss upon initial recognition are recorded in the consolidated income statement caption “Net gain on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss”. of the consolidated statements of income. Interest earned or incurred is accrued in the consolidated statements of income statement in the captionscaption “Interest and dividendsimilar income” or “Interest expense”“interest and similar expenses”, respectively, according to the terms of the contract.

Dividend income is recorded when the collection right has been established.

 

(ii)Loans and receivables

(ii) Loans and receivables

 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than those that the entity intend to sell immediately or in the short term, those that the entity upon initial recognition designates as available for sale, or those for which the holder may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration.market.

 

After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Interest and dividendsimilar income”. Losses from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Provision for loan losses”losses, net of recoveries”.

 

Direct loans are recorded when disbursement of funds to the clients are made. Indirect (off-balance sheet) loans are recorded when documents supporting such facilities are issued. Likewise, Credicorp considers as refinanced or restructured those loans that change their payment schedules due to difficulties in the debtor’s ability to repay the loan.

 

An allowance for loan losses is established if there is objective evidence that the GroupCredicorp will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loans. The allowance for loan losses is established based onin an internal risk classification with consideration given toand considering any guarantees and collaterals received. See Note 3(i) and 29.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(iii)Available-for-sale financial investments

(iii) Available-for-sale financial investments

 

Available-for-sale financial investments include equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available-for-sale are non-derivative financial assetsthose that are neither classified as held for trading nor designated as available-for-sale (toat a fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those that are intended to be held for an indefinite period whichof time and that may be sold in response to needs for liquidity needs or in response to changes in the interest rates, exchange rates or equity price); or are not classified as (a) financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, (b) held-to-maturity or (c) loans and receivables.market conditions.

 

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale reserve, net of its corresponding deferred tax and non-controlling interest, until the investment is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Net gain on sale of securities”, or determined to be impaired, at which time the impaired amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Impairment loss on available–for–sale investments” and removed from the available-for-sale reserve.

 

Interest and dividendssimilar income earned are recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Interest and dividendsimilar income”. Interest earned is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method and dividends earned are recognized when collection rights are established.

Estimated fair values are based primarily on quoted prices or, if quoted market prices are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with the credit quality and maturity of the investment.

 

The GroupCredicorp evaluates whether its ability and intention to sell its available-for-sale financial assets in the near term is still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, Credicorp is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, Credicorp may elect to reclassify these financial assets only in rare circumstances, such as whenif the Group is unable to sell the assets due to markets inactivity and management’s intent to sell the assets in the foreseeable future has changed significantly. Reclassification to loans and receivables is permitted when the financial asset meets the definition of loans and receivables and managementManagement has the intentability and the abilityintention to hold thesesuch assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity. The

For a financial asset reclassified from the available-for-sale category, the fair value carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its new amortized cost and any previous gain or loss on the asset that has been recognized in equity is amortized to held to maturity category is permitted only whenprofit or loss over the entityremaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate.

During the years 2013 and 2012, Credicorp did not reclassify any of its available-for- sale financial investments.

(iv) Held-to-maturity financial investments

Held-to-maturity financial investments are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities, which Credicorp has the abilityintention and intentability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity financial investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the financial asset until maturity.effective interest rate less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included in the caption “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statements of income. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

 

As of December, 31, 20112013 and 2010, we2012, Credicorp has not recognized any impairment loss on held-to-maturity investments.

If the Group were to sell or reclassify more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments before maturity (other than in certain specific circumstances), the entire category would be tainted and would have to be reclassified as available-for-sale. Furthermore, Credicorp would be prohibited from classifying any financial asset as held-to-maturity during the following two years.

As of December, 31, 2013 and 2012, Credicorp did not sell or reclassify any of our available-for-sale financialits held-to-maturity investments.

 

(v) Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and security lending and borrowing transactions

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date are not derecognized from the consolidated statements of financial position as Credicorp retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. The cash received is recognized as an asset with a corresponding obligation to return it, including accrued interest, as a liability in the caption “Payables from repurchase agreements and security lendings”, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan to Credicorp. The difference between the sale and repurchase price is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate and is recognized in the caption “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statements of income.

When the counterparty has the right to sell or repledge the securities, Credicorp reclassifies those securities in the caption “Investments available-for-sale pledged as collateral” or “Investments held-to-maturity pledged as collateral”, as appropriate, of the consolidated statements of financial position.

Conversely, securities purchased under agreements to resell at a specified future date are not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position. The consideration paid, including accrued interest, is recorded in the caption “Receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowings” of the consolidated statements of financial position, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan by Credicorp. The difference between the purchase and resale price is recorded in the caption “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statements of income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate.

If securities purchased under agreement to resell are subsequently sold to third parties, the obligation to return the securities is recorded as a short sale in the consolidated statements of financial position caption “Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss” and measured at fair value, with any gains or losses included in the consolidated statements of income caption “Net gain on sale of securities”.

Securities lending and borrowing transactions are usually collateralized by securities and cash. The transfer of the securities to counterparties is only reflected on the consolidated statements of financial position if the risks and rewards of ownership are also transferred.

(vi) Put and call options over non-controlling interest

Put options granted to non-controlling interests give rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount. When the financial liability is recognized initially, the present value of the amount payable upon exercise of the option is recorded in equity. All subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the liability, due to a re-measurement of the present value of the amount payable on exercise, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Call options are initially recognized as a financial asset at their fair value, with any subsequent changes in their fair value recognized in profit or loss. If the call options are exercised, the fair value of the option at that date is included as part of the cost of the acquisition of the non-controlling interest. If the call options lap unexercised, any carrying amount for the call option is expensed in profit or loss.

Put and call options do not give Credicorp present access to the benefits associated with the ownership interest.

(iv)Other financial liabilities147

(vii) Other financial liabilities

After initial measurement other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost includes any issuance discount or premium and directly attributable transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

 

De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

Financial assets:assets

 

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or a part 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 GroupCredicorp has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either the GroupCredicorp has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or the GroupCredicorp has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Financial liabilities:liabilities

 

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability; difference between the carrying amount of the original financial liability any resulting differenceand the consideration paid is recognized in the respective carrying amount is recognized as profit or loss.consolidated statements of income.

 

Offsetting financial instruments:instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and managementManagement has the intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

Impairment of financial assets:assets

 

We assessCredicorp assesses at each date of the consolidated statements of financial position whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impairedAn impairment exists if and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that havehas occurred aftersince the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and such loss event(s)“loss event”), has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will go bankrupt or other legal financial reorganization process and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Criteria used for each category of financial assets are as follows:

(i)Loans and receivables

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

 

For loans, receivables and receivablesheld-to-maturity investments that are carried at amortized cost, the GroupCredicorp first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the GroupCredicorp determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, recognized, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

 

If there is objective evidence that anThe amount of any impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the lossidentified is measured as the difference between the assetasset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred).

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. Interest income, if applicable, is accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest ratestatements of the asset. Loans,income. A loan, together with the associated allowance, areis written off when classified as loss, is fully provisioned and there is no realistic prospectreal and verifiable evidence that the loan is irrecoverable and collection efforts concluded without success, impossibility of future recovery andforeclosures or all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Group.Credicorp. If in any subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account.

If in the future a write-off loan is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, statement, as a credit to the caption “Provision for loan losses”losses, net of recoveries”.

 

The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.

For a collective evaluationassessment of impairment, financial assets are grouped considering the Group’sCredicorp’s internal credit grading system, which considers credit risk characteristicscharacteristics; for example: asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type and past-due status and other relevant factors.

 

Future cash flows from a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the years on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not currently exists. The methodology and assumptions used are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

 

(ii)Available-for-sale financial investments

(ii) Available-for-sale financial investments

 

For available-for-sale financial investments, the GroupCredicorp assesses at each date of the consolidated statements of financial position whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

 

In the case of equity investments, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in theits fair value of the investment below its cost. “Significant” is to be evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any previously recognized impairment loss) is removed from the investments available-for-sale reserve of the consolidated statementstatements of changes in equity and recognized in the consolidated income statement.statements of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement;statements of income; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

In the case of debt instruments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost (loans and receivables).cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the consolidated income statement.statements of income. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Interest income is recorded as part of the “Interest and dividendsimilar income” portion of the consolidated income statement.statements of income. If in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase iscan be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of income, statement, the impairment loss will beis reversed through the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

(iii)Renegotiated loans

(iii) Renegotiated loans

 

When a loan is modified, it is no longer considered as past due but it maintains its previous classification as impaired or not impaired. If the debtor complies with the new agreement during the following six months, and an analysis of its payment capacity supports a new improved risk classification, it is classified as not impaired. If subsequent to the loan modification the debtor fails to comply with the new agreement, it will beis considered as impaired and past due.

 

Goodwill:Goodwill

 

Goodwill representsis initially measured at cost, being the excess of the acquisition costaggregate of a subsidiarythe consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, Credicorp re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired subsidiaryand all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in the consolidated financial of income.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of acquisition. GoodwillCredicorp’s cash-generating units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is tested annually for impairment to assess whetherdisposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is fully recoverable. Anmeasured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Goodwill is allocatedrecognized. Impairment losses relating to cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes.goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

151

Impairment of non-financial assets:assets

The GroupCredicorp assesses at each reporting date or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances warrant, whether the carrying value of non-financial assetsthere is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication ofexists, or when annual impairment exists, the Grouptesting for an asset is required, Credicorp estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s (CGU)CGU fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Goodwilluse and is tested annuallydetermined for impairment. Wherean individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit)or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset (or cash-generating unit) is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated 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 risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

 

For non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. 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; if that is the case, therecognized.

The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset neither exceedsdoes not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceedsexceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the income statement.consolidated statements of income.

Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount in future periods.

Due from customers on acceptances:

Due from customers on acceptances corresponds to accounts receivable from customers for import and export transactions, whose obligations have been accepted by the Group. The obligations that must be assumed by the Group for such transactions are recorded as liabilities

Financial guarantees:guarantees

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Group grantsCredicorp issues financial guarantees, such as letters of credit, guarantees and acceptances. Financial guarantees are initially recognized at fair value (which is equivalent at that moment to the fee received) asin the caption “Other liabilities” inof the consolidated statements of financial position. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liability under each guarantee is measured asat the higher of the amortized feeamount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in the consolidated statements of income, and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the financial guarantee.

 

Any increase in the liability relating to a financial guarantee is included in the consolidated statementstatements of income. The fee received is recognized in the caption “Banking services commissions” of the consolidated statementstatements of income inon a straight line basis over the caption “Banking services”.life of the granted financial guarantee.

Provisions:Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when the GroupCredicorp has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow or resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statements of income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the specific risks of the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance costcost.

Contingencies:Contingencies

 

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed in notes, unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements; they are disclosed if it is probable that an inflow of economic benefits will be realized.

Share-based payment transactions

 

(i)Cash-settled transactions

 

As explained in note 18(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements, weUntil 2008, Credicorp granted a supplementary remuneration plan to certain employees who had at least one year of service withserving Credicorp or any of its Subsidiaries,subsidiaries in the form of stock appreciation rights (SARs) over a certain number of Credicorp shares. SARs were granted at a fixed price and are exercisable at that price, allowing the employee to obtain a gain in cash (“cash-settled transaction”) arising from the difference between the fixed exercise price and the market price at the date the SARs are executed.

 

The SARs fair value is expensed over the period up to the vesting date, with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is rerecordedremeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated income statement under the caption “Salaries and employee benefits”. of the consolidated statements of income.

When the price or terms of the SARs are modified, any additional expense is also recorded in the consolidated income statement. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.statements of income.

 

(ii)Equity-settled transactions

(ii) Equity-settled transactions

  

As explain in note 18(b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as of AprilSince 2009 a new supplementary remuneration plan was implemented to replace the SARs plan.plan (see (i) above).

 

The cost of this equity-settled plan is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“(‘the vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’sCredicorp’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

The expense is recorded in the consolidated income statement under the caption “Salaries and employeesemployee benefits”. of the consolidated statements of income.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized under the “Salaries and employees benefits” caption in the consolidated income statement is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock awards is reflected as a share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Derivative financial instruments:

Trading:Trading

Credicorp negotiates derivative financial instruments in order to satisfy client’s needs. Credicorp may also take positions with the expectation of profiting from favorable movements in prices, rates or indexes.

 

Part of transactions with derivatives , while providing effective economic hedges under Group’sCredicorp’s risk management positions, do not qualify for hedge accounting under the specific rules of IAS 39 and are, therefore, treated as trading derivatives.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost and subsequently are re-measured at their fair value. Fair values are estimated based on the market exchange and interest rates. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Gain and losses for changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

Hedge:Hedge

 

We useCredicorp uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to interest rate and foreign currency. In order to manage particular risks, the GroupCredicorp applies hedge accounting for transactions which meet the specified criteria.

At inception of the hedge relationship, Credicorp formally documents the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including the nature of the risk, the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge and the method that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

 

Also, at the inception of the hedge relationship, a formal assessment is undertaken to ensure the hedging instrument is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the designated risk in the hedged item. Hedges are formally assessed at each reporting date. A hedge is regarded as highly effective if changesa change in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated is expected to offset in a range between 80 percent and 125 percent.

The accounting treatment is established according to the nature of the hedged item and compliance with the hedge criteria, as follows:

 

(i)Cash flow hedges

(i) Cash flow hedges

 

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as other comprehensive income in the cashcaption “Cash flow hedge reserve,hedges reserve”, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement as finance costs.statements of income.

 

Amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the consolidated statements of income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs.

 

If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve are transferred to the consolidated income statement.statements of income. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in the cash flow hedge reserve until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or lossloss.

 

(ii)Fair value hedges

 

The change in the fair value of an interest rate hedging derivativefair value hedges is recognized in the caption “Interest and similar income” or “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated income statement in finance costs.statements of income. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as a part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognized in the consolidated income statement in finance costs.statements of income.

For fair value hedges relating to consolidated items carried at amortized cost, theany adjustment to carrying value isof these items, as a result of discontinuation of the hedge, will be amortized through the consolidated statements of income statement over the remaining maturity term. Effective interest rate amortizationterm of the hedge. Amortization may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and shall begin no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.

 

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

 

When an unrecognized firm commitmentIf the hedging instrument expires or is designated as asold, terminated or exercised, or where the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is terminated. For hedged item,items recorded at amortized cost, the subsequent cumulative change indifference between the faircarrying value of the firm commitment attributable tohedged item on termination and the face value is amortized over the remaining term of the original hedge using the effective interest rate. If the hedged riskitem is derecognized, the unamortized fair value adjustment is recognized as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognizedimmediately in the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

Embedded derivates:derivatives:

 

Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts, and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The GroupCredicorp has certificates indexed to the price of Credicorp Ltd. shares that will be settled in cash, and investments indexed to certain life insurance contracts liabilities, denominated “Unit Linked”. These instruments werehave been classified at inception by the GroupCredicorp as “Financial instruments at fair value though profit or loss”. See 3(f)(i),

Fair value measurement

Policy applicable from 1 January 2013 -

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption 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 the most advantageous market must be accessible to by Credicorp. Also, the fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.

When available, Credicorp measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and note 7volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

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

The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the Consolidated Financial Statements.fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, Credicorp determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

 

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Credicorp has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Policy applicable until December 31, 2012

Credicorp considered “Fair value” as the amount for which an asset could be exchange, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction on the measurement date.

When available, Credicorp measured the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

If a market for a financial instrument was not active, then Credicorp would have established fair value using a valuation technique. The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as little as possible on estimates specific to Credicorp, incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments.

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. However, in some cases the initial estimate of fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition may be different from its transaction price. If this estimated fair value is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument (without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets, then the difference is recognized in profit or loss on initial recognition of the instrument. In other cases, the fair value at initial recognition is considered to be the transaction price and the difference is not recognized in profit or loss immediately but is recognized over the life of the instrument on an appropriate basis or when the instrument is redeemed, transferred or sold, or the fair value becomes observable.

Segment reporting

Credicorp reports financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are a component of an entity for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions about how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the same basis as it is used internally for evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

Fiduciary activities, management of funds and pension funds:

 

The GroupCredicorp provides custody, trustee, investment management and advisory services to third parties that result in the holding of assets on their behalf. These assets and income arising thereon are excluded from these consolidated financial statements, as they are not assets of the Group.Credicorp.

 

Commissions generated for these activities are included in the caption “Other income” of the consolidated income statements.statements of income.

(2) Historical Discussion and Analysis

 

The GroupCredicorp monitors the results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Regarding the Group’sCredicorp’s segments, total revenues from banking segment amounted to 74%71.3% or more of the Group’sCredicorp’s total revenue in 2011, 2010,2013, 2012, and 2009;2011; therefore, the following historical discussion and analysis is presented principally for banking segment, except when otherwise indicated, and is based upon information contained in our Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction therewith. The discussion in this section regarding interest rates is based on nominal interest rates.

 

The financial information and discussion and analysis presented below for 2009, 20102011, 2012 and 20112013 reflect the financial position and results of operations for 2009, 20102011, 2012 and 20112013 of our subsidiaries. See “Item 3. Key Information—(A) Selected Financial Data.”

However, some of our subsidiaries are subject to income tax and taxes on dividends paid to us, depending on the legislation of the jurisdictions in which they generate income.

 

Our Peruvian subsidiaries, including BCP, are subject to corporate taxation on income under Peruvian tax law. The statutory income tax rate payable in PerúPeru since 2004 is 30% of taxable income, which includes the result of exposure to inflation.income. An additional 4.1% withholding tax is applied on dividends, which we register as income tax based on the liquid amount received from BCP, Grupo Crédito and Grupo Pacífico.

 

Peruvian tax legislation is applicable to legal entities established in Perú,Peru, and on an individual (not consolidated) basis. Our non-Peruvian subsidiaries are not subject to taxation in PerúPeru and their assets are not included in the calculation of the Peruvian extraordinary tax on net assets.

ASHC is not subject to taxation in Panama since its operations are undertaken offshore. The Cayman Islands currently have no income, corporation or capital gains tax and no estate, duty, inheritance or gift tax. Prior to 1995, there was no corporate income tax in Bolivia.

 

Tax expense paid by the subsidiaries increased to US$210.5285.8 million in 20112013 from US$187.1251.6 million in 2010,2012, which increased from US$138.5210.5 million in 2009.2011. Income tax growth in these periods reflects increases in our taxable income. Since 1994, we have paid the Peruvian income tax at the statutory rate. The effective tax rates in 2009, 20102011, 2012 and 20112013 were 21.54%22.53%, 23.67%23.74%, and 22.53%34.17%, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011,2013, our total loans were US$17,441.923,027.5 million, which represented 56.8%56.4% of total assets. Loans, net of reserves for loan losses, were US$16,922.222,217.6 million. As of December 31, 2010,2012, our total loans were US$14,375.421,471.6 million, which represented 49.1%52.6% of total assets, and net of reserves for loan losses loans were US$13,959.720,772.6 million.

Our securities holdings (which include marketable securities, available for sale and held to maturity investments) increased 54.3%decreased by 7.1% to US$5,991.27,294.4 million as of December 31, 20112013 from US$3,883.87,848.1 million as of December 31, 2010.2012 (US$5,991.2 million in 2011). The securities portfolio increasedecrease in 20112013 was primarily due to higherlower investments in BCRP certificates of deposits, which were replaced by time deposits in BCRP that explain the significant increase aforementioned.deposits.

 

Total Liabilities

 

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had total liabilities of US$27.336.40 billion, a 7.1% increase0.07% decrease from US$25.536.43 billion as of December 31, 2010;2012 (US$27.3 billion in 2011); and we had total deposits of US$18.724.5 billion, a 5%1.8% increase from US$17.824.0 billion on December 31, 2010.

2012 (US$18.7 billion in 2011).

We have structured our funding strategy around maintaining a diversified deposit base. As of December 31, 2011,2013, on an unconsolidated basis, we had 41.4%41.7% of total savings deposits in the Peruvian banking system, 39.9%34.8% of demand deposits, 27.4%31.1% of time deposits and 34%34.2% of total deposits, the highest of any Peruvian bank in all three types of deposits, according to the SBS. An important characteristic of our deposit base is that, asAs of December 31, 2011, it included 56.1%2013, we had 52.7% of the entire Peruvian banking system’s CTS deposits, increasingdecreasing from 55.9%54.9% as of December 31, 2010,2012, and 50.7%56.1% as of December 31, 2009,2011, according to SBS statistics. We believe that we have traditionally attracted a high percentage of the savings and CTS deposit market because of our reputation as a sound institution, anour extensive branch network and the quality of our service. The decrease in deposit market share is due to the fact that new financial institutions have taken a small market share from BCP, due to the attractive interest rates they offer.

On September 29, 2010, a new SBS Resolution 11823-2010 established the methodologies for calculating the regulatory capital and capital requirements for financial and mixed conglomerates.

 

(1)         Total Regulatory CapitalArticle 4 of SBS Resolution 11823-2010 identifies two consolidated groups: (i) the financial system consolidated group, and Financial Entities Regulatory Capital(ii) the insurance system consolidated group. The group of companies formed by these entities is prepared undercalled the guidelinesfinancial group.

Articles 5 and 9 of SBS Resolution 11823-2010, provide that the BIS I Accord (byfinancial system consolidated group, the Basel Committee) as adopted byinsurance system consolidated group, and the SBS.

(2)         The Minimum Regulatory Capital Required,financial group are required to hold regulatory capital that is greater than or MRCR, is prepared underequal to the guidelines of the BIS I Accord (by the Basel Committee) as adopted by the SBS, and must not exceed from the Total Regulatory Capital calculated. The consolidated MRCR is calculated by the addition of the MRCRcapital requirements of each one ofgroup.

The capital requirements for the entities.

(3)         Peruvian financial entities (BCP, Credileasing and Solución) have a MRCR of 10.0% of the Risk-Weighted Assets (or RWA). For ASHC (Cayman Islands), the MRCR is 12% of the RWA. For BCP Bolivia, the MRCR is 10% of the RWA. For the insurance companies, MRCR is calculated on the basis of the solvency margin, the guarantee funds and the credit risk. Other entities, with no MRCR, must be considered byconsolidated groups are the sum of the capital requirements of the companies that belong to each group. For unsupervised companies, their capital requirements should be the greater of: (i) 10% of third party assets and (ii) the ratio of third party assets over total assets multiplied by the sum of paid-in-capital, legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval, and retained earnings.earnings with capitalization agreements net of current and past years’ losses. The capital requirements for the financial group are the sum of the capital requirements of each consolidated group.

 

Article 6 of SBS resolution 11823-2010, provides that regulatory capital of the consolidated groups is comprised of the sum of basic capital and supplementary capital, and is calculated as follows:

Basic Capital: Basic Capital or Tier 1 capital is comprised of:
(i)paid-in-capital (which includes common stock and perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock), legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval, and retained earnings with capitalization agreements (earnings that the shareholders or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, have committed to capitalize as common stock);
(ii)other elements that have characteristics of permanence and loss absorption that are in compliance with regulations enacted by the SBS; and
(iii)unrealized gains and retained earnings in Subsidiaries.

Items deducted from Tier 1 capital include:

(a)current and past years’ losses;
(b)deficits of loan loss provisions;
(c)goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations or acquisitions; and
(d)half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Absent any Tier 2 capital, 100% of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below must be deducted from Tier 1 capital.

The elements referred to in item (ii) above should not exceed 17.65% of the amount resulting from adding components (i) and (iii) of Tier 1 capital net of the deductions in (a), (b) and (c) in this paragraph.

Supplementary Capital: Supplementary capital is comprised of the sum of Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital. Tier 2 capital elements include:
(i)paid-in-capital, legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, and voluntary reserves that may be reduced without prior consent from the SBS;
(ii)the eligible portion of the consolidated redeemable subordinated debt and of any other components that have characteristics of debt and equity as provided by the SBS;
(iii)for banks using the SAM, the generic loan loss provision up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets; or, alternatively, for banks using the IRB, the generic loan loss provision up to 0.6% of total credit risk-weighted assets (pursuant to article 189 of the Law); and
(iv)half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Tier 3 capital is comprised of consolidated redeemable subordinated debt that is incurred with the exclusive purpose of covering market risk.

Deductions: The following elements are deducted from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital:
(i)for the financial system consolidated group all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign financial institutions and insurance companies and for the insurance system consolidated group all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign insurance companies;

(ii)all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by entities that are part of the holding but do not belong to any of the consolidated groups;
(iii)for the financial system group, the amount by which (a) an investment in shares issued by a real sector company which is neither part of the holding nor of the negotiable portfolio exceeds (b) 15% of the financial system consolidated group’s regulatory capital; and
(iv)the aggregate amount of all investments in shares issued by real sector companies which are not part of the holding and which are not part of the financial system consolidated group’s negotiable portfolio, exceeds 60% of the regulatory capital.

Article 7 of SBS resolution 11823-2010 provides that the following limits apply when calculating regulatory capital: (i) the aggregate amount of supplementary capital must not exceed the aggregate amount of basic capital; (ii) the amount of redeemable Tier 2 subordinated instruments must be limited to 50% of the amount resulting from the sum of Tier 1 in “Basic Capital” above; (iii) the amount of Tier 3 capital must be limited to 250% of the amount resulting from the sum of Tier 1 elements.

Article 10 of SBS resolution 11823-2010, provides that regulatory capital of the financial group is comprised of the sum of basic capital and supplementary capital, and is calculated as follows:

Basic Capital: Basic Capital or Tier 1 capital is comprised of:
(i)paid-in-capital (which includes common stock and perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock), legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval, and retained earnings with capitalization agreements (earnings that the shareholders or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, have committed to capitalize as common stock); and,
(ii)other elements that have characteristics of permanence and loss absorption that are in compliance with regulations enacted by the SBS.

Items deducted from Tier 1 capital include:

(i)current and past years’ losses;
(ii)deficits of loan loss provisions;
(iii)goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations or acquisitions; and
(iv)half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Absent any Tier 2 capital, 100% of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below must be deducted from Tier 1 capital.

Supplementary Capital: Supplementary capital is comprised of the sum of Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital. Tier 2 capital elements include:

(i)paid-in-capital, legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, and voluntary reserves that may be reduced without prior consent from the SBS;
(ii)the eligible portion of the consolidated redeemable subordinated debt and of any other components that have characteristics of debt and equity as provided by the SBS;
(iii)the generic loan loss provision included in the supplementary capital of the financial consolidated group; and
(iv)half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Tier 3 capital is comprised of consolidated redeemable subordinated debt computed in the consolidated groups.

Deductions: The following elements are deducted from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital:
(i)all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign financial institutions and insurance companies;
(ii)all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by entities that are part of the holding but do not belong to any of the consolidated groups;
(iii)all investment in shares issued by real sector companies which are not part of the holding and the negotiable portfolio, computed as deductions in the financial system consolidated group.

Liquidity Risk

We manage our assets and liabilities to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our present and future financial obligations and to be able to take advantage of appropriate business opportunities as they arise. Liquidity risk represents the potential for loss as a result of limitations on our ability to adjust future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and to fund operations on a timely and cost-effective basis. Financial obligations arise from withdrawals of deposits, repayment on maturity of purchased funds, extensions of loans or other forms of credit, and working capital needs.

 

The growth of our deposit base over the years has enabled us to significantly increase our lending activity. BCP is subject to SBS Resolution No. 472-2001,9075-2012, enacted in June 2001,December 2012, which made its market risk area responsibleset responsibilities for liquidity management within the different committees and risk units, and by which minimum liquidity ratios were established. The ratio of liquid assets as a percentage of short-term liabilities, as strictly defined by the SBS, must exceed 8% for Nuevos Soles-based transactions, and 20% for foreign exchange-based transactions. BCP’s average daily ratios during the month of December 20112013 were 45.89%35.46% and 43.78%46.83% for Nuevos Soles and foreign exchange-based transactions, respectively, demonstrating our continuing excess liquidity. We have never defaulted on any of our debt or been forced to reschedule any of our obligations. Even during the early 1980s, when the government of Peru and many Peruvian companies and banks were forced to restructure their debt as a result of the Latin American debt crisis and government restrictions, BCP and Grupo Pacífico complied with all of their payment obligations.

The available sources of excess liquidity for Nuevos soles and foreign exchange-based transactions at BCP (without including subsidiaries) are as follows:

The capability of replacing interest-bearing deposits at their maturity is a key factor in determining liquidity requirements, as well as the exposure to interest and exchange rate risks. Our principal source of funding is customer deposits with BCP’s retail banking group and ASHC’sASB’s private banking group, and premiums and amounts earned on invested assets at Grupo Pacífico. We believe that funds from our deposit-taking operations generally will continue to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

 

BCP’s retail banking group has developed a diversified and stable deposit base and its private banking group has developed a stable deposit base that, in each case, provides us with a low-cost source of funding. This deposit base has traditionally been one of our greatest strengths. The deposit gathering strategy has focused on products considered as BCP’s core deposits: demand deposits, savings, time deposits and CTS deposits. Other sources of funds and liquidity, which are mostly short- and long-term borrowings from correspondent banks and other financial institutions, issued bonds, and subordinated debt, are of a considerably lower significance compared to our core deposits. See Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

See “Item 4. Information on the Company—(B) Business Overview—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation—(ii) BCP—The Peruvian Central Bank Reserve Requirements.” Legal reserves are meant to ensure the availability of liquid funds to cover withdrawals of deposits. Additionally, we have significant investments of excess liquid funds in short-term Central Bank certificates of deposits.

BCP at times has accessed Peru’s short-term interbank deposit market, although it is generally a lender in this market. The Peruvian Central Bank’s discount window, which makes short-term loans to banks at premium rates, is also available as a short-term funding source, but has been used infrequently by BCP. ASHC also has the ability to borrow from correspondent banks on an overnight basis at rates tied to the federal funds rate as well as funding lines from international financial institutions.

 

On December 31, 2011,2013, we had uncommitted credit lines with various banks, including long-term facilities that are mainly used for project financing, of which no significant amount was drawn down. We have also received long term funding from Cofide, (Corporación Financiera de Desarrollo S.A., a Peruvian government-owned development bank), Corporación Andina de Fomento (or CAF), syndicated loans, and other international lenders. The transactions relating to these credit lines include import and export transactions and average annual rates (including Libor) vary from 0.69%0.53% to 10.5%9.5%. As of December 31, 2011,2013, we maintain US$2,117.02,848.3 million in such credit lines, secured by the collection of BCPBCP’s (including its foreign branches) future inflows from electronic messages sent through the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) network and utilized within the network to instructbranches’) instructing correspondent banks to make a payment of a certain amount to a beneficiary that is not a financial institution. These funds have maturities of up to seven years. See Notes 13(a)14(a) and (b)(c) to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 20112013 borrowed funds due to banks and correspondents amounted to US$2,060.02,566.4 million as compared to US$2,240.32,686.3 million in 20102011 and US$1,167.42,060 million in 2009.2011.

 

In addition, mortgage loans may be funded by mortgage funding notes and since 2001, mortgage bonds that are sold by BCP in the market. Mortgage funding notes are instruments sold by BCP with payment terms that are matched to the related mortgage loans, thereby reducing BCP’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations and inflation. Mortgage bonds are mainly U.S. Dollar-denominated and have been issued with ten-year terms, with collateral established by real estate acquired through funded home mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2011, BCP had US$0.5 million of outstanding mortgage bonds and notes, (US$5.0 millionwhich were fully paid in 2010 and US$10.5 million in 2009).2012. A source of funds specific to leasing operations are leasing bonds issued by lease financing companies, the terms of which are specified in the Peruvian leasing regulations. As of December 31, 2011,2013, BCP had US$37.135.8 million of outstanding leasing bonds (US$134.439.2 million in 20102012 and US$188.337.1 million in 2009)2011). These bonds have maturities of up to sevenfour years. See Note 1516 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed breakdown of our issued bonds.

At that date and on any interest payment date, BCP can redeem 100 percent of the notes, without penalties and after fulfilling certain requirements. Interest payments are non-cumulative such that, if an interest payment is not made in full or cancelled as set forth due to BCP’s rights to cancel interest payments, a mandatory prohibition established by SBS, or if it is determined that BCP is in non-compliance with applicable minimum regulatory capital, then the unpaid interest will not accrue or be due and payable at any time and shall not constitute an acceleration event. In those cases, BCP will not, and will not cause its majority owned subsidiaries to declare, pay or distribute a dividend for a period of time established since the interest payments are not cancelled.

The major uses of these funds are the payment of policyholder claims, benefits and related expenses, reinsurance costs, commissions and other operating costs. In general, Grupo Pacífico’s insurance operations generate substantial cash flow because most premiums are received in advance of the time when claim payments are required. Positive operating cash flows, along with that portion of the investment portfolio that is held in cash and highly liquid securities, historically have met the liquidity requirements of Grupo Pacífico’s insurance operations.

(D)5. D Trend Information

We expect that 20122014 will show a positive economic trend; however,trend with an international economy that would grow as a result of better scenarios in developed countries. In the international environment still suggests some uncertainty. Incase of Peru, our estimates indicate that Peruvian economy will continue growing and in particular, the financial system would also expand with the increase in the level of bancarization.

Under the aforementioned scenario we expect that our financial income will increase, mainly as a result of our prioritiziationprioritization of retail operations with SMEs and individuals, and small companies.as well as corporates. In addition, credit risk is expected to remain low despite planned positive loan evolutionincrease, mainly in the first half of the year 2014 as the portfolio assimilate the SME and Credit Card vintages that shown deterioration in 2013. Moreover, if the Retail Banking portfolio grows at a higher provision duepace than the Wholesale Banking portfolio, it is likely that the PDL and NPL ratios would increase as a result of the change in the mix. In the same line, PDL and NPL ratios would increase if we decide to higher volumere-introduce the incursion in lending to individuals of loan portfolio. lower socio-economic segments of the economy.

Furthermore, we plan to invest in the expansion of our distribution channels network by opening new branches.branches and by expanding the network of cost-efficient channels such as Agentes BCP and ATMs.

 

Other important factorsfactor to consider areis the pressure on consumer protection regulation, and electionsespecially regarding to some sources of fee income in local, regional and central government authorities,the credit card segment, all of which could impact our business in Peru.

 

In Bolivia, we expect that BCP Bolivia will maintain its profitability, although the political and economic environment, which involves a high level of uncertainty, is an important factor in this expectation.

 

In Colombia and Chile, we expect to resume grow as the markets recover from the scenario of 2013 and as part of the consolidation of our investment banking platform that would benefit local and cross-border businesses.

We expect that in 2012,2014, ASB will maintain its low-risk investment strategy and overall good performance as that achieved in 2010.performance. We expect continued growth of theour assets under management, given the high quality service we offer.

 

We also expect that PRIMA will maintain its performance as the formalization of the economy increases and as the result of the economy growth translated into higher income per-capita and expansion of the EAP.

In our insurance business, we expect to raise theimprove its performance and mainly its profitability of each retail product sold in branches. The insurance business continues to grow and is supported by the continued decrease in loss ratio experiencedafter we implement some strategies in the industry.different business segments, please see “Item 4 Information on the Company - 4.B Business Overview – (2) Strategy”.

(E)5. E Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We record various contractual obligations as liabilities in our financial statements. We do not recognize other contractual arrangements, such as contingent credits contracts, as liabilities in our financial statements. These other contractual arrangements are required to be registered in off-balance sheet accounts. We enter into these off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business in order to provide support to our clients and hedge some risks in our balance sheet and use guarantees, letters of credit, derivatives and swaps.

 

The following table reflects our off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2009, 20102011, 2012 and 2011:2013:

In the normal course of its business, our banking subsidiaries are party to transactions with off-balance sheet risk. These transactions expose them to additional credit risks than thoserelative to amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because any other party to a financial instrument fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The exposures to losses are represented by the contractual amount specified in the related contracts. We apply the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments (see Note 6(a)7(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements), including the requirement to obtain collateral when necessary. The collateral held varies, but may include deposits in financial institutions, securities or other assets. Many of the contingent transactions are expected to expire without any performance being required. Therefore the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

Credicorp has currency-forwards derivatives. Currency-forwards are commitments to buy or sell currency at a future date at a contracted price. Risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to the transaction will not perform as agreed and from the changes in the prices of the underlying currencies. As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, the nominal amounts for forward currency purchase and sale agreements were approximately US$3,473.35,646.1 million and US$2,628.25,831.2 million, respectively, which in general have maturities of less than a year.

 

These agreements are entered into to satisfy client requirements and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value. As of December 31, 2011,2013, the forward contracts net position is an overbuy of U.S. Dollars of approximately US$312.7630.6 million (overbuy of approximately US$960.2601.8 million as of December 31, 2010)2012).

 

Interest rate and currency swaps are derivatives contracts, where counterparties exchange variable interest rates for fixed interest rates or different currencies, respectively, in the terms and conditions established at the contract inception. The risk arises each time the projected level of the variable rate during the term of the contract is higher than the swap rate, as well as from non-compliance with contractual terms by one of the parties. As of December 31, 2011,2013, the notional amount of open interest rate and currency swap contracts was approximately US$2,252.15,211.7 million (approximately US$2,217.13,042.3 million as of December 31, 2010)2012).

 

Cross-currency swap derivative contracts involve the exchange of interest payments based on two different currency principal balances and referenced interest rates. They generally also include the exchange of principal amounts at the start and/or end of the contract. As of December 31, 2011,2013, the notional amount of cross-currency swap contracts were approximately US$197.7279.4 million (approximately US$252.9317.6 million as of December 31, 2010)2012).

 

As of December 31, 2011,2013, the fair values of the asset and liability forward-exchange contracts, options and interest rate and cross-currency swaps amounted approximately to US$82.5165.2 million and US$145.3154.3 million, respectively (approximately US$84.9159.4 million and US$136.7166.2 million as of December 31, 2010)2012) and are included under the caption “Other assets and other liabilities” of the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. See Note 11(b)12(b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Responsibilities under credit lines agreements include credit lines and other consumer loans facilities (credit card) and are cancelable upon notification to the client.

Loans obtained include the obligation to comply with certain covenants which, in our management’s opinion, are being complied with atas of the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 

Some international funds and promotional credit lines include standard covenants related to the compliance with financial ratios, use of funds and other administrative matters.

All bank employees in Peru are given the option of belonging to an employee union. These employee unions are collectively represented byAt the Federación de Empleados Bancarios (the Federationend of Banking Employees or FEB). In orderJune 2013, some employees of the commercial area in Lima decided to form a union to stand for their rights. Complying with the Peru’s laborlaw, we accepted the existence of the union. However, as of December 31, 2013, the union had not satisfied all the legal requirements that would enable it to negotiate a collective agreement on behalf of its members, FEB must have as members over 50% of all Peruvian banking employees. Because this level fell to below 50%, the most recent collective bargaining agreement which expired on June 30, 1995, was not renewed.under Peru’s labor law. We believe that our managers have a good relationship with our employees.

 

BCP was granted permission by the Peruvian Ministry of Labor to cancel the registration of BCP’s union in 1996 due to limited participation. As of December 31, 2011, no BCP employees belonged to a union. The last strike by union employees occurred in 1991 and did not interfere with BCP’s operations.

Legal Proceedings

 

We, along with our subsidiaries, are involved in certain legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of conducting business. We do not believe that any liabilities that may result from such proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, or on the financial condition or results of operations of any of our subsidiaries.

 

The following is a description of material ongoing litigation as of the date of this Annual Report.

Madoff Trustee Litigation.Litigation. On September 22, 2011, the Trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS), and the substantively consolidated bankruptcy estate of Bernard L. Madoff (“the Madoff Trustee”) filed an adversary proceedinga complaint against Credicorp’s subsidiary Atlantic Security Bank (ASB)ASB (the “Madoff Complaint”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), pending under adversary proceeding number 11-02730 (SMB). The adversary complaintMadoff Complaint seeks recovery of approximately US$120 million. This amount is alleged to be equal to amount of funds that ASB managed in Atlantic US Blue Chip Fund that were invested in Fairfield Sentry Fund Limited (hereafter “Fairfield Sentry”) and redeemed, along with returns thereon between the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005. The Madoff Complaint further alleges that Fairfield Sentry was a “feeder fund” that invested in BLMIS; that the Madoff Trustee filed an adversary proceeding against Fairfield Sentry, seeking to avoid and recover the initial transfers of monies from BLMIS to Fairfield;Fairfield Sentry; that on June 7 and 10, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement among the Madoff Trustee, Fairfield Sentry and others; and that the Madoff Trustee is entitled to recover the sums sought from ASB as “subsequent transfers” or “avoided transfers” from BLMIS to Fairfield Sentry that Fairfield Sentry in turn subsequently transferred to ASB. The Madoff Trustee has filed similar actions against numerous other alleged “subsequent transferees” that invested in Fairfield Sentry and its sister entities which, in turn, invested and redeemed funds from BLMIS. ASBASB’s counsel and the Madoff Trustee have entered into a stipulation that ASB has until September 2012extending ASB’s time to move, answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint.Madoff Complaint through July 16, 2014. Management believes that ASB has substantial defenses against the Madoff Trustee’s claims alleged in the Madoff Complaint and intends to contest these claims vigorously.

 

In addition, ASB, as well as other defendants, filed a motion to withdraw the reference to Bankruptcy Court pursuant to an administrative orderAdministrative Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court on March 5, 2012 directing that all defendants to pending adversary actionsproceedings brought by the Madoff Trustee file their motions to withdraw the reference no later than April 2, 2012. ASB´s Management considersASB’s management asserted that the caseMadoff Complaint against ASB raisesraised several important issues that it believes requirebelieved required interpretation of federal, non-bankruptcy law and which interpretation should be addressed by a U.S. federal district court as opposed to a federal bankruptcy court. Judge Rakoff ofcourt and ASB filed its Motion to Withdraw the Bankruptcy Court Reference (the“Withdrawal Motion”) on or prior to April 2, 2012. The Federal District Court for the Southern District Court of New York (“Federal District(the “District Court”), by way of an order issued on April 13, already withdrew the reference to the Bankruptcy Court as to one particular issue, and has directed that the defendants in the consolidated actions, including ASB, file one consolidated brief regarding this particular issue no later than May 3, 2012. ASB anticipates the Federal District Court may subsequently establish additional established various consolidated briefing procedures and schedules which mayhave directly impactimpacted the action pending against ASB, including with respect to one or more of the other issues advanced in support of ASB’s Withdrawal Motion.Motion The District Court has now ruled on many of those issues. To date, the District Court has declined to dismiss the complaints, but issued several rulings regarding legal standards that will apply to the litigation of the cases before the Bankruptcy Court, to which the Federal District Court remanded the cases.

Fairfield Litigation. On April 13, 2012, the Liquidators of Fairfield Sentry Limited (In Liquidation) and other Fairfield fundsits representative, Kenneth Krys (the “Fairfield Liquidator”), filed an adversary proceedinga complaint against ASB (the “Fairfield Complaint”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, for the Southern Districtstyled as Fairfield Sentry Limited (In Liquidation) v. Atlantic Security Bank and Beneficial Owners of New York against (1) ASB and (2) beneficial owners of accountsAccounts Held in the Fairfield Sentry funds held by ASB, styled In re Fairfield Sentry, Ltd., 10-13164 (Adv. ProName of Atlantic Security Bank 1-1000, Adv. Pro. No. 12-01550 (BRL)) (“Fairfield Complaint”(SMB) (the “Fairfield v. ASB Adversary Proceeding”). The Fairfield Complaint is similarseeks to other complaintsrecover the amount of US$115,165,423.28, reflecting ASB’s redemptions of certain investments in Fairfield Sentry, together with investment returns thereon. These are essentially the same moneys that Madoff Trustee seeks to recover in the Madoff Trustee Litigation described above. Thereafter, the Fairfield Liquidators have filedv. ASB Adversary Proceeding was procedurally consolidated by the Bankruptcy Court with other adversary actions brought by the Fairfield Liquidator against former investors in Fairfield Sentry. Pursuant to that consolidation, and by stipulation of the parties, the Bankruptcy Court’s previously entered stay of all proceedings in the Southern District Bankruptcy Court against other entities thatFairfield Liquidator adversary actions (except for the filing of amended complaints) in light of pending litigation in the British Virgin Island courts (the “BVI Litigation”) calling into question the Fairfield Liquidator’s ability to seek recovery of funds invested in various Fairfield fundswith and redeemed their accounts prior tofrom Fairfield Sentry, was applied in the Fairfield funds’ insolvency in the wake of the collapse of BLMIS. The Fairfield Complaint seeks recovery againstv. ASB and the beneficial owners for amounts totaling $115,165,423.28 that were redeemed prior to June 15, 2005. The complaint alleges various common law claims grounded in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) law against both ASB and the beneficial owners on behalf of whom ASB held and redeemed Fairfield Sentry Fund shares.

Adversary Proceeding, thereby indefinitely extending ASB’s time to answer, move answer or otherwise respond to the Fairfield Complaint will not begin to run until the stay is lifted. On January 14, 2013, the Fairfield Liquidator filed an Amended Complaint in the Fairfield v. ASB is formally served, so no immediate responseAdversary Proceeding seeking the same amount of recovery as in the original Fairfield Complaint but adding additional allegations and causes of action. On April 16, 2014, the Privy Council of Great Britain delivered a judgment with respect to the pending BVI Litigation, finding that Fairfield could not recover. For now the Bankruptcy Court stay remains in effect, and ASB’s time to answer, move or otherwise respond to the Amended Complaint is required. In addition, at present, all the actions by the Fairfield Liquidators have beenremains stayed pending resolutionfurther order of litigation in the BVI, where a Court of Appeal is currently deciding whether the Liquidators may recover proceeds from their investors.

Litigation against Banco de Crédito de Bolivia. On November 26, 2013, Mr. Marcelo Urbach, a former client of Credifondo SAFI Bolivia, a subsidiary of Banco de Crédito de Bolivia S.A. (BCP BOLIVIA), initiated a constitutional recourse against BCP BOLIVIA petitioning the reimbursement of almost US$31 million. He holds he has a right to a judgment with respect to his accounts in Credifondo SAFI Bolivia. BCP BOLIVIA has sustained that a constitutional recourse is a legal remedy to be used in case of violations of constitutional rights and not a lawsuit or a means to prove the existence or inexistence of debts or civil obligations and has asked the court to deny the recourse. The case is expected to be argued in the Constitutional Tribunal the second semester of 2014. Management believes that BCP BOLIVIA defense against Mr. Urbach’s claim is a substantial one and must prevail.

Government Investigations

Dividend Policy

 

Pursuant to Bermuda law, we may declare and pay dividends from time to time provided that after payment of the dividends: (i) we are able to pay our liabilities as they become due, and (ii) the realizable value of our assets is not less than the aggregate value of our liabilities, issued share capital, and share premium accounts. We cannot make any assurances as to the amount of any dividends or as to whether any dividends will be paid at all, although we currently intend to declare and pay dividends annually, and our Board of Directors currently expects to authorize the payment of an annual dividend to the shareholders of no less than 25% of our consolidated net income. However, our payment of dividends is subject to Bermuda law and to the discretion of our Board of Directors. The Board’s decision will depend on (i) general business conditions, (ii) our financial performance, (iii) the availability of dividends from our subsidiaries and any restrictions on their payment, and (iv) other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

 

We rely almost exclusively on dividends from our subsidiaries for the payment of our corporate expenses and for the distribution of dividends to holders of our common shares. Subject to certain reserve and capital adequacy requirements under applicable banking and insurance regulations, we are able to cause our subsidiaries to declare dividends. To the extent our subsidiaries do not have funds available or are otherwise restricted from paying us dividends, our ability to pay dividends on our common shares will be adversely affected. Currently, there are no restrictions on the ability of Grupo Credito,Crédito, BCP, ASHC, and Grupo Pacífico and Credicorp Capital or any of our other subsidiaries to pay dividends abroad. In addition, Grupo Credito,Crédito, BCP, and Grupo Pacífico intend to declare and pay dividends in Nuevos Soles, while we intend to declare and pay dividends in U.S. Dollars. If the value of the Nuevo Sol falls relative to the U.S. Dollar between the date of declaration and the date of payment of dividends, the value of the dividends we pay would be adversely affected. See “Item 3. Key Information—(A) Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates.”

The Lima Stock Exchange is Peru’s only securities exchange and was established in 1970. Trading on the Lima Stock Exchange is primarily done on an electronic trading system. Trading hours are Monday through Friday as follows: 8:20 a.m.-8:30 a.m. (pre-market ordering); 8:30 a.m.-2:55a.m.-3.00 p.m. (trading); and 2:553:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. (after market(after-market sales). These trading hours became effective on March 12, 2012.

Nearly 100% of all transactions on the Lima Stock Exchange currently take place on the electronic system.

 

Transactions during both the open trading and the electronic sessions are executed through brokerage firms and stock brokers on behalf of their clients. Brokers submit their orders in strict accordance with written instructions, following the chronological order in which they were received. The orders specify the type of security ordered or offered as well as the amounts and the price of the sale or purchase. In general, share prices are permitted to increase or decrease up to 15% for Peruvian companies, and up to 30% for foreign companies, within a single trading day.

It decreased by 47.1%2012 (+26.2%) and US$120,404 million in 2008 as a result2013 (-21.3%). The decrease in 2013 was associated to the announcement of the global economic crisis. It reboundedtapering process by the FED, which increased the price of U.S. Treasury bonds and also affected the price hike of our sovereign bonds, increasing the cost of borrowing from the local market. In this context, there was a decline in 2009, growingcommodity prices, especially in gold and silver prices, further affecting the local stock market, characterized by 87.5%, and during 2010, it again performed well, growing by 56.2%.

The accumulated total for 2011amount traded was US$7,817 million with 79.8% relating toin 2011, US$7,617 million in 2012 (-2.6%) and US$6,002 million in 2013 (-21.2%). These figures are still far from the record level obtained in 2007, in which trading volume reached US$ 12,400 million. Resembling the typical volume distribution, 68.3% of the traded amount in 2013 was concentrated in equity securities, 8.4%15.9% was concentrated in fixed-income securities and the remaining 11.8%15.8% was concentrated in reporepurchase transactions.

(ii) Market Regulation

 

The Securities Market Law (Legislative Decree 861) addresses matters such as transparency and disclosure, takeovers and corporate actions, capital market instruments and operations, the securities markets and broker-dealers, and risk rating agencies. The Security Market Superintendency (SMV) - former CONASEV -,SMV, a governmental entity attached to Peru’s Ministry of Economy and Finance, was given additional responsibilities relating to the supervision, regulation, and development of the securities market, while the Lima Stock Exchange and its member firms were given the status of self-regulatory organizations. Additionally, a unified system of guarantees and capital requirements was established for the Lima Stock Exchange and its member firms.

SMV is governed by a five-member board, which includes an independent director and the Superintendent, whosewho are appointed by the government. SMV has broad regulatory powers. These powers include studying, promoting, and making rules for the securities market, supervising its participants, and approving the registration of public offerings of securities.

 

SMV supervises the securities markets and the dissemination of information to investors. It also (i) governs the operations of the Public Registry of Securities and Brokers, (ii) regulates mutual funds and their management companies, (iii) monitors compliance with accounting regulations by companies under its supervision as well as the accuracy of financial statements and (iv) registers and supervises auditors who provide accounting services to those companies under SMV’s supervision.

 

On August 22, 1995, SMV approved regulations governing the public offering of securities in Peru by entities organized outside of Peru and, for the first time, authorized foreign companies to be listed on the Lima Stock Exchange. On October 25, 1995, we became the first non-Peruvian company to list our shares on the Lima Stock Exchange. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—(B) Business Overview—(11)(12) Supervision and Regulation.”

 

Pursuant to the Securities Market Law, the Lima Stock Exchange must maintain a guarantee fund that is funded by its member firms. The actual contributions to be made by the 2724 member firms of the Lima Stock Exchange are based on volume traded over the exchange. At present, the fund has approximately S/.38.4 million (US$14.4 million). In addition to the guarantee fund managed by the Lima Stock Exchange, each member firm is required to maintain a guarantee for operations carried on outside the exchange in favor of SMV. Such guarantees are generally established through stand-by letters of creditbank guarantees issued by local banks.

“Item 10. Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation” from our Annual Report on Form 20-F dated June 27, 2003 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

At our Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 31, 2005, we adopted an amendment to our bye-laws that increased the number of our directors from six to eight. In addition, we also removed provisions that established a classified board structure with staggered terms, adopting instead fixed three-year terms to be served until the end of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting for the year in which the three-year period expires.

(C)

10. C Material Contracts

 

As of the date hereof, we have not, nor have our subsidiaries, entered into any material contracts.

 

(D)10. D Exchange Controls

 

We have been designated as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control purposes, and therefore, there are no restrictions on our ability to transfer non-Bermuda funds in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to United States residents who are holders of our common shares.

 

We rely almost exclusively on dividends from Grupo Credito,Crédito, BCP, ASHC, Grupo Pacifico,Pacífico, Credicorp Capital and our other subsidiaries for the payment of dividends to holders of our common shares. To the extent our subsidiaries are restricted by law from paying us dividends, our ability to pay dividends on our common shares will be adversely affected.

 

In addition, prior to January 1, 2014, we presentpresented our financial statements and paypaid dividends in U.S. Dollars. During the same period, our subsidiaries, BCP and Grupo Pacifico preparePacífico prepared their financial statements and paypaid dividends in Nuevos Soles. IfConsequently, prior to January 1, 2014, if the value of the Nuevo Sol were to fall relative to the U.S. Dollar between the date of declaration and the date of payment of dividends, the value of the dividends we receivereceived from our subsidiaries would be adversely affected. On an overall basis,Beginning January 1, 2014 Credicorp changed its functional currency from U.S. Dollar to Nuevo Sol. In the Peruvian currency has appreciated against the US. Dollar during the last decade.duture we will present our financial statements and pay dividends in Nuevos Soles.

 

Although substantially all of the customers of BCP, ASB and Grupo PacificoPacífico are located in Peru, as of December 31, 2011,2013, approximately 61.1%51.0% of BCP’s loan portfolio, 100% of ASHC’s loan portfolio, and 84.3%42.8% of Grupo Pacifico’sPacífico’s gross premiums were denominated in U.S. Dollars.Dollars (59.9%, 100% and 43.6% in 2012, respectively). Most of the borrowers or insureds of these three companies use Nuevos Soles. Therefore, athe devaluation of the Nuevo Sol would effectively increaseduring 2013 relatively increased the cost to the borrower of repaying its loans and the cost to the insured of making its premium payments. As a result, devaluation could lead to more nonperforming loans or unpaid premiums for BCP, ASB and Grupo Pacifico.

 

One circumstance that could lead to a devaluation is a decline in Peruvian foreign reserves to inadequate levels. Although the current level of Peru’s foreign reserves compares favorably with those of other Latin American countries (US$ 65,663 million at December 31, 2013), there can be no assurance that Peru will be able to maintain adequate foreign reserves to meet its foreign currency-denominated obligations or that Peru will not devalue its currency should its foreign reserves decline. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—(B) Business Overview—(9)(10) Peruvian Government and Economy.”Economy”.

 

Since March 1991, there have been no exchange rate controls in Peru and all foreign exchange transactions are based on free market exchange rates. Current Peruvian regulations on foreign investment allow the foreign holders of equity shares of Peruvian companies to receive and repatriate 100% of the cash dividends distributed by the company. These investors are allowed to purchase foreign exchange at free market exchange rates through any member of the Peruvian banking system.

 

(E)10. E Taxation

 

AtAs of the present time,date of this report, there is no Bermuda income or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty, or inheritance tax that we must pay or our shareholders must pay with respect to their shares. We have obtained an assurance from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 that, in the event that any legislation is enacted in Bermuda imposing any tax on profits or income, or on any capital asset, gain, or appreciation or any tax in the nature of an estate duty or inheritance tax, such tax shall not, until March 28, 2016, be applicable to us or to any of our operations or to our shares, debentures, or other obligations. This assurance, however, does not cover any tax applicable to persons who ordinarily residentreside in Bermuda or to any taxes that we must pay with respect to real property that we own or lease in Bermuda.

As an exempted company, we are liable to pay in Bermuda an annual government fee based upon our authorized share capital and the premium on our issued common shares, which amounted to approximately US$18,670 in 2011.2013.

 

On February 15, 2011, the Peruvian government enacted Law 29663. On July 21, 2011, Law 29663 was amended by Law 29757. This new Lawlaw, as amended, partially modifies the country’s income tax regime by subjecting to taxation in Peru capital gains derived from an indirect transfer of shares and expanding the type of income that will qualify as Peruvian-source income. Under the new law, any transfer of shares issued by a non-resident entity will be subject to taxation in Peru (30% or 5%) if at any point during the 12 prior months to such transfer:

 

a.50% or more of the fair market value of the foreign shares –to-to be transferred—transferred- is derived from shares or participation rights representing the equity capital of one or more Peruvian entities. There is a rebuttable presumption that the threshold is met if the non-resident entity is a resident in a tax heaven.

b.The shares to be transferred represent at least 10% or more of the equity capital of the non-resident entity.

 

At the same time,The following two new obligations were also imposed on Peruvian domiciled companies:companies, which have economic relationships with a non-Peruvian seller:

 

a.Reporting to the Peruvian Tax Administration (SUNAT) transfers of its own shares or transfers of the shares of the non-Peruvian domiciled company that is the owner of its shares; and

(1)         

b.Each Peruvian domiciled company is jointly liable for the income tax not paid by a non-Peruvian domiciled transferor that is directly or indirectly linked to the domiciled company (whether by means of control, management or equity participation) in connection with the transfer of the domiciled company’s shares, except in the event that the purchaser or acquirer of the shares is a Peruvian individual or entity.

Supreme Decree N° 275-2013-EF, enacted by the Peruvian Government on November 7, 2013, defined the concept of economic relationship for purposes of the indirect transfer of Peruvian shares. A Peruvian domiciled company is now requiredconsidered to reportbe economically related to the Peruvian Tax Administration (SUNAT) transfers of its own shares or transfers of the shares of the non-Peruvian domiciled company that is the owner of its shares; and

(2)         Each Peruvian domiciled company is jointly liable for the income tax not paid by a non-Peruvian domiciled transferor, that is directly or indirectly linked toif, at any time during the domiciled company (whether by means of control, management or equity participation) in connection with12-month period prior the transfer one of the domiciled company’s shares, except in the event that the purchaser or acquirer of the shares is a Peruvian individual or entity.following circumstances occurs:

 

a.The non-Peruvian domiciled transferor owns more than 10% of the equity of the Peruvian domiciled company, directly or through a third party.

The effectiveness of the obligations mentioned in (1) and (2) above is subject to additional regulations which have not been enacted yet by the Peruvian government. Until definitive regulations are enacted by the Peruvian government, which may clarify any obligation by Credicorp to withhold income tax for non-Peruvian domiciled transferors, we do not know what impact, if any, this new law will have on our company, subsidiaries or shareholders.

b.The shareholders of the Peruvian domiciled company that are also shareholders the non-Peruvian domiciled transferor own more than 10% of the equity of each company.

c.The Peruvian domiciled company and the non-Peruvian domiciled transferor have one or more common directors, managers or administrators, with power to decide on financial, operative and commercial agreements.

d.The Peruvian domiciled company and the non-Peruvian domiciled transferor consolidate their financial statements.

e.The non-Peruvian domiciled transferor has a dominant influence on the decisions of the administrative bodies of the Peruvian domiciled company or vice versa.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our activities involve principally the use of financial instruments, including derivatives. We accept deposits from customers at both fixed and floating rates, for various periods, and seek to earn above-average interest margins by investing these funds in high-quality assets. We seek to increase these margins by consolidating short-term funds and lending for longer periods at higher rates, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due.

 

We also seek to raise our interest margins by obtaining above-average market margins, net of allowances, through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a range of credit products. Such exposures involve not just on-balance sheet loans and advances; we also enter into guarantees and other commitments such as letters of credit and performance. We also trade in financial instruments where we take positions in traded and over-the-counter instruments, including derivatives, to take advantage of short-term market movements in equities, bonds, currencies and interest rates.

 

In this sense, risk is inherent in our activities but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to our continuing profitability and each individual within our Group is accountable for the risk exposures relating to his or her responsibilities. We are exposed to operating risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, the latter being subdivided into trading and non-trading risks.

 

The independent risk control process does not include business risks such as changes in the environment, technology and industry. They are monitored through our strategic planning process.

 

Risk Management Structure

 

Our boardBoard of directorsDirectors and the boards of each subsidiary are ultimately responsible for identifying and controlling risks; however, there are separate independent bodies in the major subsidiaries (BCP, Grupo Pacífico, ASB, Edyficar, Credicorp Capital and Prima AFP) responsible for managing and monitoring risks, as further explained below:

 

(a)Board of Directors: The Board of Directors: The board of directors of each major subsidiary is responsible for the overall risk management approach and for the approval of the policies and strategies currently in place. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, risk related to the use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

(b)Risk Management Committee: The Risk Management Committee of each major subsidiary is responsible for the strategy used for mitigating risks as well as setting forth the overall principles, policies and limits for the different types of risks; it is also responsible for monitoring fundamental risk issues and for managing and monitoring the relevant risk decisions.

In addition, in order to effectively manage all the risks, the Risk Management Committee is divided into the following tactical committees which report on a monthly basis all changes or issues in the managed risks:

Credit Risk Committee

The Credit Risk Committee is responsible of reviewing the tolerance level, limits of exposure, the objective, guidelines and policies for managing credit risk, the delegation of authority and the supervision and establishment of autonomy for taking credit risks and the metrics for measuring performance incorporating risk variables.

Also, it is responsible of approving: (i) the standard methodology for measuring operational risks, (ii) the taxonomy of operational risks and controls and (iii) all the critical processes of Credicorp. Furthermore, it proposes the approval of any changes to the functions described above and reports any finding to the Risk Management Committee.

The Credit Risk Committee is mainly composed by the Chief Risk Executive, the Manager of the Risk Management Area, the Manager of the Operational Risk Management Department, the Manager of the Internal Audit Division.

(c)Chief Risk Office: The Chief Risk Office is responsible for implementing policies, procedures, methodologies and actions to identify, measure, monitor, mitigate, report and control the different types of risks to which Credicorp is exposed. Also, it participates in the design and definition of the strategic plans of the business units to ensure that they are framed within the risk appetite metrics approved by the Board of Directors.

The Chief Risk Office is divided into the following teams:

Wholesale Risk Division (WRD)

The WRD is responsible for ensuring the overall risk management approach and for the approvalquality of the Wholesale Banking loan portfolio and developing risk policies and strategies currentlycriteria in place.

The Internal Audit discusses the results of all assessments with Management, and reports its findings and recommendations to Credicorp’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

 

Risk Measurement and Reporting Systems

 

Our risks are measured using a method which reflects both expected losses, which are those losses likely to arise in normal circumstances, and unexpected losses, which are estimated based on statistical models. The models make use of probabilities derived from historical experience, adjusted to reflect the economic environment. We also examine worst case scenarios that might arise if extreme and unlikely events do, in fact, occur.

 

Monitoring and controlling risks are primarily performed based on limits that we establish. These limits reflect our business strategy, the market environment and the level of risk that we are willing to accept. In addition, we monitor and measure our overall risk bearing capacity relative to our aggregate risk exposure across all risk types and activities.

 

Information compiled from all our subsidiaries is examined and processed in order to analyze, control and identify risks early. This information is presented and explained to the Board of Directors, the Risk Management Committee, and all relevant members of the Group.Credicorp. The report includes aggregate credit exposure, credit metric forecasts, hold limit exceptions, VaR (Value at Risk), liquidity ratios and risk profile changes. Senior management periodically assesses the fair value of the investments and the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses.losses periodically.

 

Risk Mitigation

 

As part of our overall risk management, we use derivatives and other instruments to manage exposures resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currencies, equity risk and credit risk.

 

The risk profile is assessed before entering into hedge transactions, which are authorized by the appropriate level of seniority within the Group.Credicorp. The effectiveness of hedges is assessed by the Treasury Risk Management Department (based on economic considerations rather than the IFRS hedge accounting regulations).Area. The effectiveness of all the hedge relationships is monitored monthly. In situations of ineffectiveness, we will enter into a new hedge relationship to mitigate risk on a continuous basis.

We actively use collateral to reduce credit risks.

210

Excessive Risk Concentration

 

Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location.

129

 

In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, Credicorp’s policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly.

 

Market Risk

 

We take on exposure to market risks, 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, commoditiesfixed income securities, derivatives, currencies 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 nature of the Group’s current activities, commodity price risk is not applicable.

 

We separate exposures to market risk into two groups: (i) those that arise from value fluctuation of trading portfolios 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 ratiosrates (ALM book).

Trading portfolios include those liquid positions arising from market-making transactions where we act as principal with clients or with the market. Non-trading portfolios consist of relatively illiquid positions, mainly banking assets and liabilities (deposits and loans) and non-trading investments (available-for-sale).

 

The risks that trading portfolios face are managed through VaR historical simulation techniques; while non-trading portfolios are managed using Asset and Liability Management (ALM).ALM. 

Trading Book

 

The trading book is characterized for havinghas liquid positions in equities, bonds, foreign currencies and derivatives. Some limits have been set in order to controlderivatives, arising from market-making transactions where Credicorp acts as a principal with the clients or with the market. This portfolio includes investments and monitor the risks undertaken. These risks arise from the size of the positions and/or from the volatility of the risk factors embedded in each financial instrument. Regular reports are preparedderivatives classified by management as held for the Risk Management Committees and top management.trading.

 

(i)          Value at Risk (VaR)

(i)Value at Risk (VaR)

 

WeBased upon a number of assumptions for various changes in market conditions, we apply VaR to our trading portfolios to estimate the market risk of our positions held and theour maximum losses that are expected, based upon a number of assumptions for various changes in market conditions. The Risk Management Committee set limits on the level of risk that may be accepted.losses.

 

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

 

VaR is a statistically-based estimate of the potential loss on the current portfolio from adverse market movements. It 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 by multiplying the one-day VaR by the square root of 10. This adjustment will be exact only if the changes in the portfolio in the following days have a normal distribution identical and independent; otherwise, the 10-day VAR to 10 days will be an approximation.

 

The assessment of past movements has been based on historical one-year data and 17109 market risk factors, which include: 9are composed as follows: 23 market curves, 575 stock prices, 310 mutual funds values and one volatility series. The GroupCredicorp applies these historical changes in rates directly to its current positions (a method known as historical simulation). The Company believes the market risk factors incorporated into its VaR model are adequate to measure the market risk to which Credicorp’s trading book 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 should 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 our risks taken. These risks arise from the size of our positions and/or the volatility of the risk factors embedded in each financial instrument. Regular reports are prepared for the Risk Committee of the Treasury and ALM Risk Committee, our risk management committees and our senior managers.

 

In VaR calculations, the foreign exchange effect is not included and as such the calculation is measured assuming a constant exchange rate – ALM Book (See Item 11, Trading book,Book, (ii) Backtesting)Backtesting, ALM Book, Foreign Exchange Risk).

For disclosures purposes,The information disclosed in these charts addresses the VaR calculation for the entire consolidated Group. However, minimum, maximum and average in VaR calculation and backtesting,calculations are estimated only for BCP´s trading book. The reason for this is that, although the trading book positions for the entire Group are consolidated once a year in order to calculate a VaR for reporting purposes, Credicorp calculates VaR on a daily basis only for BCP. Therefore, since there is not a sufficient sample for the Group, minimum, maximum and average VaR are calculated only for the BCP subsidiary. Nonetheless, the Company believes it is relevant information considering that BCP’s trading book. This represents approximately 80 percent ofrisk is very close to the total exposure to the trading risk inof the Group’s portfolio.

 

For the yearyears ended December 31, 2011,2012 and 2013, the BCP’s consolidated VaR is as follows:

 

  2012  2013 
   US$(000)   US$(000)

(ii)         Backtesting

 

Backtesting is performed on a trading book to verify the predictive power of the VaR calculations. Backtesting compares results of the positions considered for the calculation of VaR and the calculation of the VaR from the previous day.

 

Backtesting exceptions occur when real losses exceed the estimated VaR for the previous day. In order for a backtesting analysis to be considered valid, it should be based on a minimum of 252 observations, and when it has 504 observations, (2 years of data), a moving window is created.observations.

 

Every month, back-testing exceptions are analyzed and reports are prepared to explain the results. These reports are presented to the Risk Committee of the Treasury and ALM, our risk management committees and our senior Management.

 

Backtesting is also estimated only for BCP’s trading book, since it should be based on a minimum of 252 observations and the Group’s VaR is consolidated only once a year for reporting purposes.

During 2012, BCP did not record any exceptions.

 

(iii)        Stress test

Stress test

A stress test is calculated for the Group. The test calculates the maximum loss that the Group incurs in light of daily shocks to the market from March 18, 2008 until the effective date of the stress test. The maximum loss is considered the outcome for the Stress test.

 

The methodology for the stress test assumes a certain “holding period” until positions can be closed (1 - 10 days). The time horizon used to calculate the losses is one day; however, the final figures are amplified to a 10-day time frame and the final calculation is determined by multiplying the one-day losses times the square root of 10. This adjustment will be exact only if the changes in the portfolio in the following days have a normal distribution that is identical and independent; otherwise, the worst loss of 10 days will be an approximation.

 

The results of our stress test as of December 31, 2011, 2012 and December 31, 2010,2013, by type of asset, were as follows:

ALM Book

 

The management of risks associated with long-term and structural positions is called ALM. Non-trading portfolios which comprise the ALM book are exposed to different sensitivities that can bring about a deterioration in the value of the Group’s assets relative to its liabilities and hence can reduce the Group’s net worth.

 

InterestInterest-Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair values of financial instruments. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The GroupCredicorp is exposed to both fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may also decrease in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Board sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate re-pricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored dailymonthly by the Treasury Department.Market Risk Management Unit.

Re-pricing Gap

Gap analysis consists of aggregating re-pricing timeframes into buckets and checking if each bucket nets to zero. Different bucketing schemes may be used. An interest rate gap is simply a positive or negative net re-pricing timeframe for oneany of the buckets.

Sensitivity to Changes in Interest Rates

 

The following table presents the sensitivity of our consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income (before tax and non-controlling interest) to a reasonable possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant.

 

The sensitivity of the consolidated income statement reflects the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the net interest income for one year before income tax and non-controlling interest, based on the floating rate of non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities held at December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, including the effect of derivatives instruments. The sensitivity of consolidated comprehensive income is calculated by revaluing, at various interest rates, our fixed rate available-for-sale financial assets before income tax and non-controlling interest. The analysis includes the effect of any associated hedges and derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, as of December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2010:2013:

The figures represent the effect of the pro-forma movements in the net interest income based on the projected yield curve scenarios and our current interest rate risk profile. This effect, however, does not incorporate actions that would be taken by our management to mitigate the impact of this interest rate risk. In addition, we seek proactively to change the interest rate risk profile to minimize losses and optimize net revenues. The projections above also assume that interest rate of all maturities move by the same amount and, therefore, do not reflect the potential impact on net interest income of some rates changing while others remain unchanged. The projections make other simplifying assumptions as well, including an assumption that all positions run to maturity.

 

SecuritiesOur positions held in equity securities, mutual funds and mutualhedge funds are not considered part of investment securities for sensitivity calculation purposes; however, presented below is a table that demonstrates how our expected unrealized gain or loss (before income taxes) on equity securities, mutual funds, and hedge funds (as of December 31, 20102012 and December 31, 2011)2013) would correspond to changes in market prices of these securities at the 10%, 25% and 30% levels:

Commitments in liabilities at fair value (short sales) are related to fixed income and equity financial instruments, and have maturities of one month or less; therefore, the Group expects minimal price fluctuations. As a result, the Group is not subject to significant price risk on these financial liabilities.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our financial position and cash flows are exposed to foreign currency exchange rates. Our management sets limits on the level of total exposure by currency and in total for both overnight and intra-day positions,to foreign currencies, which are monitored daily.

Foreign currency transactions are executed using the free market exchange rates applicable in countries in which Credicorp’s subsidiaries operate. As of December 31, 20112013, 2012 and 2010,2011, the Group’s assets and liabilities by currencies were as follows:

We manage foreign exchange risk by monitoring and controlling the position values due to changes in exchange rates. We measure its performance in U.S. Dollars, so if the net foreign exchange position (e.g. Peruvian currency) is an asset, any depreciation of the U.S. Dollar with respect to this currency would affect positively our consolidated statements of financial position. The current position in a foreign currency comprises exchange rate-linked assets and liabilities in that currency. An institution’s open position in individual currencies comprises assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items denominated in the respective foreign currency for which the institution itself bears the risk; any appreciation/depreciation of the foreign exchange would affect the consolidated income statement.

 

The Group’sCredicorp’s net foreign exchange balance is the sum of its positive open non-U.S. Dollar positions (net long position) less the sum of its negative open non-U.S. Dollar positions (net short position); and any devaluation/revaluation. Any depreciation/appreciation of the foreign exchange position would affect the consolidated income statement. A currency mismatch would leave the Group’sCredicorp’s consolidated statements of financial position vulnerable to a fluctuation of the foreign currency (exchange rate shock).

 

The table below shows the sensitivity analysis of the Peruvian Currency,currency, the currency to which we had significant exposure as of December 31, 20112013, 2012 and 20102011 on our non-trading monetary assets and liabilities and our forecasted cash flows. The analysis calculates the effect of a reasonably possible movement of the currency rate against the U.S. Dollar, with all other variables held constant on the consolidated income statement, before income tax. A negative amount in the table reflects a potential net reduction in our consolidated income statement, while a positive amount reflects a net potential increase:

(B)15. B Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our Board of Directors and management are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, the IASB.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements, and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management in accordance with IFRS; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controlcontrols over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections about of any evaluationthe effectiveness of effectiveness to future periodsour internal controls are subject to the risk that controls maywill become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree ofdeterioration in compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.procedure.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20112013 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.Framework version 1992. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2011,2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Our management also found no material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and therefore no corrective actions were taken.

 

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20112013 has been audited by Medina, Zaldívar, Paredes & Asociados (member firm of Ernst & Young Global), our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein, and it has expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.2013.

 

(C)15. C Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Credicorp Ltd.

 

We have audited Credicorp Ltd. and Subsidiaries (hereinafter “Credicorp”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 Framework) (the COSO criteria). Credicorp’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Credicorp’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures thatthat: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, Credicorp maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011,2013, based on the COSO criteria.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the 2011 consolidated financial statements of financial position of Credicorp as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated April 24, 2012,23, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

Our Audit Committee must approve all of the services that the independent external auditor provides as part of its responsibility to supervise the internal auditor’s work. There are two types of approvals. The Audit Committee grants a “general approval” in advance for a list of services that the independent external auditor may provide without further approval from the Audit Committee. A general approval is valid for 12 months from the date of approval unless the Audit Committee determines a different period should apply. The Audit Committee is regularly informed about the services provided through the general approval process. The Audit Committee also grants “specific approval” for services that do not have general approval on a case-by-case basis. All of the services that do not have general approval need specific approval from the Audit Committee before any agreement is signed with the independent external auditor to provide such services. Any service that exceeds approved costs or budgets will need specific approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has set a limit on tax fees and all other fees, which cannot be greater than 35% of total auditor’s fees during a fiscal year. The Audit Committee may change this limit based upon our corporate needs and the complexity of the service provided by the independent external auditor. When considering granting any type of approval, the Audit Committee takes into account whether the requested services are consistent with the SEC’s rules regarding the independence of the independent auditors.external auditor.

Our audit committee supervises the execution of the independent external audit services as necessary. It approves, when necessary, any modification in the terms, conditions, fees, and extent of the audit services. The Audit Committee may give a general approval for other audit services where the independent external auditor is in the best position to provide those services. Such services typically include: audit services required by regulations, financial audits for our subsidiaries or affiliates, and services associated with the presentation of documents to the SEC or other documents published in connection with the trading of our shares.

 

The Audit Committee may award a general approval to audit-related services if the committee believes that these services will not negatively affect the integrity of the independent external auditor and are consistent with SEC rules.

 

Consistent with SEC rules, our audit committee requires that all tax services provided by the independent auditorsexternal auditor be subject to its approval. The Audit Committee may grant a specific approval for other services provided by the independent external auditor as long as they do not impair the independence of the independent external auditor and are permissible under SEC rules.

 

Each year the Audit Committee recommends the appointment of an independent auditor for consideration of our shareholders atAt the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors, in accordance with the proposal of the Audit Committee, engaged in a process to select and appoint the company that will act as our independent external auditor for a period of 5 years starting in 2015. The companies invited to participate in the selection process were the four most prominent auditors with operations in the countries where Credicorp’s subsidiaries operate: Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, and Deloitte. After analyzing the proposals, the Audit Committee agreed to recommend Ernst & Young to serve as the independent external auditor of Credicorp and its subsidiaries for the financial year 2014 and PricewaterhouseCoopers for a period of 5 years starting on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2019.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

(A)16G. A The New York Stock Exchange – Corporate Governance

 

The NYSE’s corporate governance rules, codified in Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, apply, with certain limited exceptions, in full to companies listing common equity securities. The chart below provides a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies under NYSE listing standards:

Section of NYSE
Listed Company
Manual
NYSE Corporate Governance Rules for U.S. Domestic
Issuers
Credicorp Corporate Governance Practices
303A.01A majority of the members of the board of directors must be “independent directors”, as defined by the NYSE.Credicorp is not required under Bermuda Law to maintain a board of directors with a majority ofbeing independent directors; however, up to and including March 30, 2014, a majority of our directors arewere independent according to our definition of “independence”, as set forth below. Based on the new composition of the Board after the election of Directors at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 31, 2014, four Directors out of eight are independent.  

303A.02

A director cannot be “independent” unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company. In addition, a director is not independent if the director:

·        is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the listed company, or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer, of the listed company

·        has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the listed company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service

·        (a) is a current partner or employee of a firm that is the listed company's internal or external auditor; (b) has an immediate family member who is a current partner of such a firm; (c) has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and personally works on the listed company's audit; or (d) was, or an immediate family member was, within the last three years a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the listed company's audit within that time

·        is, or has been with the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the listed company's present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation committee

·        is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the listed company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company's consolidated gross revenues.

Credicorp has adopted an “independence” standard that is different than the standard established by the NYSE. Credicorp’s independence standard incorporates the SEC’s minimum independence requirements applicable to directors serving on audit committees. The definition of independence is included in Credicorp’s Corporate Governance Policy. There is no similar requirement under Bermuda law.

• He/she is not a current employee, and none of his/her immediate family members(3) is a current senior executive, of any company not affiliated towith Credicorp(2) that has made payments to, or received from, Credicorp(2) for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last twelve months, totals over US$1 million in one year orand which may represent 10% or more of the consolidated gross revenue of such company in one year.

• He/she cannot,does not, directly or indirectly, accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from Credicorp(2) (other than (i) in his or her capacity as a member or advisor of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors, or any other board committee, ii) as approved by the Board of Directors and which is less than US$150,000 during the last twelve months or (iii) for any fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement plan for prior service with Credicorp(2))

(B)

16G. B Bermuda Law – Corporate Governance

 

We are a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and are subject to Bermuda laws related to corporate governance. Under Bermuda law, there are no statutory requirements with respect to the independence of our board of directors, meetings of non-management directors, the establishment and composition of certain committees or the adoption and disclosure of corporate governance guidelines or codes of business conduct and ethics. Certain Bermuda common law and statutory provisions, however, relate to duties and obligations of a company and its directors that are similar to some of the duties and obligations arising from the provisions of Section 303A.

 

(1) Fiduciary Duties and Duties of Skill and Care Under Bermuda Law

 

Under section 97(1) of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (also referred to as the Companies Act), every director and officer of a company must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company (often referred to as a “fiduciary duty”) and must exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances (often referred to as a “duty of skill and care”).

 

Fiduciary Duty

 

Under the common law, the fiduciary duty of directors has four aspects which may be briefly summarized as follows:

 

A duty to act honestly and in good faith. A director has a duty to act honestly and in good faith in what he considers are the best interests of the company and not for any collateral purpose. The courts allow the director wide discretion in determining this, interfering only if no reasonable director could have believed that a course of action was in the best interests of the company. However, a director acting honestly, but not in the best interests of the company, is in breach of such duty.

A duty to exercise powers for a proper purpose. Directors must act within the powers set out in the company’s memorandum of association and bye-laws and exercise their powers in the company’s interests and for the purposes for which those powers were conferred. Even if the directors are acting in good faith in the interests of the company as a whole, they must still use their powers for the purposes for which they were intended. For example, in general directors are not allowed to exercise their powers in such a way as to prevent a majority of the members from exercising their rights.
A duty to avoid conflicts of interest. A director must not put himself in a position where there is an actual or potential conflict between a personal interest and his duty to the company. However, a director may enter into a contract where a conflict of interest might arise if the bye-laws allow it or the company gives its approval in a general meeting. Our bye-laws do not prohibit a director from entering into a contract where a conflict of interest may arise, but they do prohibit a director from voting with respect to any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such director is interested or with which such director has a conflict of interest. In addition, section 97(4) of the Companies Act requires our directors and officers to disclose at the first opportunity any interest in a material contract, proposed material contract or person that is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with us or any of our subsidiaries.

 

A duty not to appropriate, divert or personally profit from corporate opportunities. Unless the bye-laws specifically provide otherwise, a director’s fiduciary position precludes him from appropriating, diverting or taking a personal profit from any opportunities that result from the directorship. Our bye-laws do provide an exception to this rule. They provide that any director, any director’s firm or partner, or any company with which any director is associated may act for us in a professional capacity. Such director, firm, partner or company will be entitled to compensation for professional services as if the director were not a member of our board of directors. However, such director, firm, partner or company may not act as our auditor.

 

Duty of Skill and Care

 

Under the common law, the duty of skill and care has three aspects which may be briefly summarized as follows:

 

Degree of Skill. A director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of like knowledge and experience.

A director is not expected to exercise a level of skill he does not have. The level of skill required of a director is subjective, in that the director is not expected, merely by virtue of the office, to possess any particular skills. Performance must be judged by the way the director applies any skills which he actually has. However, directors ought to acquire and maintain a sufficient knowledge and understanding of the company’s business to enable them to properly discharge their duties as directors.

Attention to the Business. A director must diligently attend to the affairs of the company. In the performance of this duty, a director must at a minimum display the reasonable care an ordinary person would be expected to take in the same circumstances on his own behalf. Mere errors of judgment have been held not to breach the duty of skill and care. A director, as such, is not bound to give continuous attention to the affairs of the company, as his or her duties are of an intermittent nature.

Reliance on Others. A director is not liable for the acts of co-directors or other company officers solely by virtue of the position. A director is entitled to rely on his co-directors or company officers as well as subordinates who are expressly put in charge of attending to the detail of management, provided such reliance is honest and reasonable (although a director cannot absolve himself entirely of responsibility by delegation to others). As a general rule, before delegating responsibility to others, the directors in question should satisfy themselves that the delegates have the requisite skills to discharge the functions delegated to them. In addition, the directors must ensure that there is set up an adequate system of monitoring such delegates (e.g., managers). The directors must, on a regular basis, ensure that their delegates have fulfilled their obligations. The directors should require a regular flow of information from the delegates to ensure that they are carrying out their duties satisfactorily. In addition, section 97(5A) of the Companies Act provides that a director shall not have breached the fiduciary duty or duty of skill and care required by section 97(1) if he relies in good faith upon financial statements of the company represented to him by another director or officer of the company or a report of an attorney, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by him.

(2) Other Statutory Duties and Obligations

The Companies Act imposes certain specific duties and obligations on companies and directors, both directly and indirectly, including duties and obligations with respect to (i) loans to directors and related persons, (ii) limits on indemnities for directors and officers and (iii) the keeping of proper books of account.

 

Loans to Directors and Related Persons

 

It is not lawful for a company to make a loan or to enter into a guarantee or provide security in connection with a loan to a director or certain persons related to a director without the consent of the members of the company holding in the aggregate not less than 90% of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to vote at any meeting of the members of the company, except in certain specific circumstances.

 

Limits on Indemnity for Directors

 

Section 98 of the Companies Act provides generally that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise be imposed on them with respect to any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust. However, this rule does not apply in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company or any of its subsidiaries. Any provision, whether contained in the bye-laws of a company or in any contract or arrangement between the company and one of its directors which would exempt such director from, or indemnify him against, any liability that would otherwise attach to him with respect to his fraud or dishonesty in relation to the company will be void. Section 98 further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favor or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Companies Act. In the event that an allegation of fraud or dishonesty is made out,proven, the director is obligedobligated to disgorge any money provided for his defense.

 

Books of Account

It is the duty of the directors to cause to be kept proper books of account with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the company and the matters with respect to which the receipts and expenditures take place, all sales and purchases by the company, and the assets and liabilities of the company.

 

(C)16G. C Peruvian Law – Corporate Governance

 

Although we are a holding company whose principal subsidiaries (Grupo Credito,Crédito, BCP, and Grupo Pacífico) are incorporated under and subject to the laws of Peru, we are registered in Peru as a foreign issuer and are consequently only subject to Peruvian regulations applicable to foreign issuers. There are no corporate governance provisions under Peruvian law applicable to us that are similar to the provisions of Section 303A.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Credicorp and subsidiaries atSubsidiaries as of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011,2013, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

The fair values of identifiable intangible assets as of the acquisition dates were determined using the income approach, based on the present value of the profits attributable to the asset or costs avoided as a result of owning the asset. Under this approach, the fair value of the asset is determined by the discounted future cash flows and the discount rate applied is to the rate of return that considers the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money.

The following methods based on the income approach were used by Credicorp’s Management to estimate the fair values of identifiable intangible assets as of the acquisition dates:

-For license valuation the "With-and-without" method was applied, which estimates the fair value of the intangible asset comparing the cash flows generated by the entity including the intangible asset against the cash flows generated by the company excluding said intangible asset.

-For brand name valuation the "Relief from Royalty" method was applied, which estimates the cash flows saved from owning the brand or relief from royalties that would be paid to the brand owner.

-For client relationship and fund manager contract valuation the "Multi-Period-Excess-Earnings-Method" was applied, which estimates residual cash flow derived from an intangible asset after deducting portions of the cash flow that can be attributed to supporting assets that contributed to the generation of the cash flow.

In Management’s opinion these methods are generally accepted for measurement of identifiable intangible assets in business combinations process.

As of December 31,2012, the initial accounting for the business was incomplete; nevertheless, at the end of the measurement period were no material adjustments to the reported amounts.

(c)Put and call options over non-controlling interest –

Correval and client relationship were estimatedIM Trust purchase agreements include put and call options to acquire the remaining non-controlling interests in such entities.

As of December 31, 2013, financial liabilities related to put options granted to non-controlling interest of Correval and IM Trust amounted to US$57.1 million and US$64.8 million, respectively (US$59.2 million and US$62.6 million, respectively as of December 31, 2012) and are included in the caption “Other liabilities” of the consolidated statements of financial position, see Note 12(a).

As of December 31, 2013, the formula used to calculate the amount of this commitment was fixed contractually and is based on the application of some multiples on the average net income over the last eight quarters and the average net equity over the last four quarters before the exercise date of each option. The amount resulting from such formula is discounted using a market rate which reflects the remaining periods and the credit risks related to each flow.

In the case of Correval, the put options can be exercised by non-controlling interest for a period of three months after the second year (from April 27, 2014) and fourth year (from April 27, 2016) of acquisition.

In the case of IM Trust, the put options can be exercised by non-controlling interest for a period of five days after the 48th(from July 1, 2016), 51st (from October 1, 2016) and 54th (from January 1, 2017) month of acquisition.

Furthermore, Credicorp Ltd. can exercise its call options for a period of three months from July 27, 2016 in the case of Correval and between the 20th and 24th business day of January 2017 in the case of IM Trust, if non-controlling interests do not exercise their put options until July 26, 2016 in the case of Correval, and until 5thbusiness day of January 2017 in the case of IM Trust. The call options are valued using the MEEM method (“Multi-period Excess Earnings Method”) based on discounted cash flows calculationssame formula as the put options.

New agreements regarding the regional governance of future benefits relatedCredicorp Capital were agreed in March 20, 2014, which applies since January 1st, 2014. Part of this new agreement reflects changes in the put and call options, as to the alignment of the exercise dates, valuation multiples and the financials to which these intangible.are to be applied for both companies. The new agreed dates for the exercise of the put options are: i) between July 15th and July 23rd of 2016; (ii) between October 15th and October 23rd of 2016; and (iii) Between January 15th and January 23rd of 2017. In terms of the call option, this may be exercisable between January 24th and January 31st of 2017. At the date of this report, the new financial liability is in process of review by Management.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Considering the dates of acquisition, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period.

The2013 as described below; however, due to the Group’s structure and operations, the adoption of the following new and revised accounting standards did not have any significant impact on theits consolidated financial position or performanceperformance; as result, no restatement of the Group:comparative financial statements was necessary.

 

-IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures” (amendment), effective for periods beginning on or after January 1 2011. The amendment simplifies“Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income — Amendments to IAS 1” Changes the identificationgrouping of related party relationships, particularlyitems presented in relationOther Comprehensive Income (OCI). Items that will be reclassified ( “recycled”) to significant influence and joint control.

-IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” – Classification of Rights Issues (amendment), effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010. The IAS amends the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non-derivative equity instruments, or to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency.

-IFRIC 14 “Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement” (amendment), effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The IFRIC permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset.

-IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010. The interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair value. In case this cannot be reliably measured, they are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. Any gainprofit or loss is recognized immediatelyat a future point in profittime have to be presented separately from items that will not be reclassified. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or loss.results.

All changes in which the Group hasvalue of defined benefit plans will be recognized in the power to govern their financialconsolidated statements of income and operating policies. This situation is generally evidenced by controlling more than one half of the voting rights.other comprehensive income.

 

-Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which effective control is transferred to the GroupIAS 28 “Investments in Associates and are no longer consolidated from the date control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of Credicorp and its Subsidiaries.

As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 28 Investments in Associates has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates.

Business combinations made after January 1, 2010

-IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities (amendment)”

The amendment will require entities to disclose gross amounts subject to rights of set-off and the related net credit exposure. This information will help to understand the extent to which an entity has set off in its statement of financial position and the effects of rights of set-off on the entity’s rights and obligations. Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities is presented in Note 32.1(g).

-IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC-12 “Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities”. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require Management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27.

-IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the acquisitionequity method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate

-IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

IFRS 12 includes all of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition datedisclosures that were previously in IAS 27, IAS 31 and IAS 28 related to consolidated financial statements, an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and a number of new disclosures are also required. Disclosures of interests in other entities are presented in Note 29.

-IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in the caption “Administrative expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.

When the Group acquires a business,measurements; it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

Any contingent considerationnot change when an entity is required to be transferred by the acquirer is recognized atuse fair value, at the acquisition date. Subsequent changesbut rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS. IFRS 13 defines the fair value as an exit price.

As part of the implementation process of IFRS 13, the Group re-assessed its policies for measuring fair values of its assets and liabilities; as a result, the application of IFRS 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurements of the assets and liabilities of the Group. Also, additional disclosures, where required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined. Fair value hierarchy is provided in Note 32.7.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

-IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets – Amendments to
IAS 36”

These amendments remove the unintended consequences of IFRS 13 on the disclosures required under IAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the contingent considerationrecoverable amounts for the assets or CGUs for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. These amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 with earlier application permitted, provided IFRS 13 is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.also applied.

(b)Basis of consolidation -

Contingent consideration was recognizedThe consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Credicorp and its subsidiaries for all the years presented. 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 hadhas:

-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.

When the Group has less than a present obligation,majority of the economic outflow wasvoting 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 facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more likely than notof the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent adjustmentsceases 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 and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the contingent consideration were recognizedequity holders of the parentof the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as part of goodwill.an equity transaction.

 

Assets in custody or managed by the Group, such as investment funds and private pension funds (AFP funds), are not part of the Group’s consolidated financialstatements,, Note 3(z)3(ab).

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

Net equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is presentedInvestments in the consolidated statements of financial position. Income attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interest prior to January 1, 2010, were accounted for using the parent entity extension method, whereby, the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired were recognized in goodwill.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interest starting January1, 2010, are recorded directly in equity; the difference between the amounts paid and the share of the net assets acquired is a debit or credit to equity. Therefore, no additional goodwill is recorded upon purchase of non-controlling interest nor a gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of a non-controlling interest.

Associatesassociates -

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence but not control. Investmentsis the power to participate in these entities represent shareholding between 20the financial and 50 percentoperating policy decisions of the voting rights; andentity, but is not control over those policies.

The considerations made to determining significant influence are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

The Group’s investments in its associates are recognized initially at cost and then are accounted for byusing the “equity method”. equity method.

The Group does not have significant investments in associates; therefore, they are included in the caption “Other assets” in the consolidated statements of financial position; gains resulting from the use of the equity method of accounting are included in the caption “Other income” of the consolidated income statement.

Fees and commission income are recognized on an accrual basis. Contingent credit fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down and other credit related fees are deferred (together with any direct incremental costs) and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan.

 

All other revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Accounting policies for insurance activities

For the adoption of IFRS 4 “Insurance contracts”, Management concluded that USGAAP used as of December 31, 2004 was the relevant framework to be used, as permitted by IFRS 4.

Product classification:

Insurance contracts are those contracts when the Group (the insurer) has accepted 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. As a general guideline, the Group determines whether it has significant insurance risk by comparing benefits paid with benefits payable if the insured eventdid not occur. Insurance contracts can also transfer financial risk.

 

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, survival fixed pensions, traditional life and unit linked insurance contracts. The non-life insurance contracts mainly include motor, household, commercial and healthcare.

Life insurance contracts offered by the Group include retirement, disability and survival insurance, annuities and individual life which includes unit linked insurance contracts. The non-life insurance contracts mainly include automobile, fire and allied and technical lines and healthcare.

 

Reinsurance:

The Group cedes insurance risk in the normal course of the operations for all of its businesses. Reinsurance assets represent balances due from reinsurance companies. Reinsurance ceded is placed on both a proportional and non–proportional basis.

 

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision or settled claims and ceded premiums associated with the reinsurer’s policies and are in accordance with the related reinsurance contract.

Reinsurance assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting year. Impairment occurs when there is objective evidence as a result of an event that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset that the Group may not receive all outstanding amounts due under the terms of the contract and the event has a reliably measureable impact on the amounts that the Group will receive from the reinsurer. The impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of income. 

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision or settled claims and ceded premiums associated with the reinsurer’s policies and are in accordance with the related reinsurance contract.

The impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

 

The Group also assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of business for non-life insurance contracts when applicable. Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognized as revenue or expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the product classification of the reinsured business.

Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the related reinsurance contract.

Premiums and claims are presented on a gross basis for both ceded and assumed reinsurance, see notes 22 and 23. Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognized when the contractual rights are extinguished or expire or when the contract is transferred to another party. Reinsurance contracts that do not transfer significant insurance risk are not material to the insurance segment.

Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognized when the contractual rights are extinguished or expire or when the contract is transferred to another party. Reinsurance contracts that do not transfer significant insurance risk are not material to the insurance segment.

 

Insurance receivables

Insurance receivables are recognized when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, insurance receivables are measured at amortized cost. As of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 the carrying value of the insurance receivables is similar to its fair value due to its short term. The carrying value of insurance receivables is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, with the impairment loss recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Insurance receivables are derecognized when the derecognition criteria for financial assets, as described in Note 3(g), has been met.

 

“Unit- Linked” assets

“Unit- Linked” assets represent financial instruments held for purposes of funding a group of life insurance contracts and for which investment gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholders who bear the investment risk. Each account has specific objectives, and the financial assets are carried at fair value. The balance of each account is legally segregated and is not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Group. The liabilities for these accounts are equal to the account assets, net of the commission that the Group charges for the management of these contracts.

 

Deferred acquisition costs (DAC)

Those direct costs that vary with and are related to traditional life and unit linked insurance contracts are deferred; all other acquisition costs are recognized as an expense when incurred. The direct acquisition costs comprise primarily agent commissions related to the underwriting and policy issuance costs.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, these costs are amortized on a straight line basis based on the averaged expiration period of the related insurance contracts. Amortization is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

Insurance contract liabilities

(i)Life insurance contracts liabilities

Life insurance liabilities are recognized when contracts are entered into.

 

The liabilities oftechnical reserves for retirement, disability and survival fixed pensionsannuities are determined as the sum of the discounted value of expected future pensions to be paid during a defined or non definednon-defined period, computed upon the basis of mortality tables and discount interest rates. TraditionalIndividual life and(including unit linked insurance contract liabilitiespolicies) technical reserves are determined as the sum of the discounted value of expected future benefits, claims handling, administration expenses, policyholder options and guarantees and investment income, less the discounted value of the expected theoretical premiums that would be required to meet the future cash outflows.

The liabilities of retirement, disability and survival fixed pensions and traditional life insurance contracts are based on assumptions established at the time the contract was issued. Current assumptions are used to update the interest accrued for unit linked insurance contracts.

Furthermore, the liabilitytechnical reserves for life insurance contracts comprisescomprise the provision for unearned premiums and unexpired risks, as well as for claims outstanding, which includes an estimate of the incurred but non-reported claims to the Group (hereinafter “IBNR”). IBNR reserves as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, were determined on the basis of the Chain Ladder methodology (a generally accepted actuarial method), whereby the weighted average of past claim development is projected into the future; the projection is based on the ratios of cumulative past claims. Adjustments to the liabilities at each reporting date are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. The liability is derecognized when the contract expires, is discharged or is cancelled.risks.

 

At each reporting date, an assessment is made of whether the recognized life insurance liabilities are adequate, net of related DAC, by using an existing liability adequacy test as laid out under IFRS 4. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Management determined that the liabilities were adequate and; therefore, it has not recorded any additional life insurance liability.

The technical reserves for retirement, disability and survival annuities and individual life insurance contracts are based on assumptions established at the time the contract was issued. Current assumptions are used to update the interest accrued for unit linked insurance contracts.

 

Life insurance claims reserves include reserves for reported claims and an estimate of the incurred but non-reported claims to the Group (hereinafter “IBNR”). IBNR reserves as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, were determined on the basis of the Chain Ladder methodology (a generally accepted actuarial method), whereby the weighted average of past claim development is projected into the future; the projection is based on the ratios of cumulative past claims.

(ii)Non-life insurance contract liabilities (which comprises general and healthcare insurance) Non-life insurance and healthcare)contract liabilities are recognized when contracts are entered into.

 

Non-life insurance contract liabilities are recognized when contracts are entered into.

These liabilities are known as the outstanding claims provision, whichClaims reserves are based on the estimated ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not settled at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position, whether reported or not, together with related claims handling costs and reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can be experienced in the notification and settlement of certain types of claims, therefore the ultimate cost of these cannot be known with certainty at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position. IBNR are estimated and included in the provision (liabilities). IBNR reserves as of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, were determined on the basis of the Bornhuetter - Ferguson methodology – BF (a generally accepted actuarial method), which considers a statistical analysis of the recorded loss history, the use of projection methods and, when appropriate, qualitative factors that reflect present conditions or trends that could affect historical data. No provision for equalization or catastrophe reserves is recognized. The liabilities are derecognized when the contract expires, is discharged or is cancelled.

The provision for unearned premiums represents premiums received for risks that have not yet expired. Generally the reserve is released over the term of the contract and is recognized as premium income.

At each reporting date the Group reviews its unexpired risk and an existing liability adequacy test as laid out under IFRS 4 to determine whether there is any overall excess of expected claims over unearned premiums. If these estimates show that the carrying amount of the unearned premiums is inadequate, the deficiency is recognized in the consolidated income statement by setting up a provision for liability adequacy. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Management determined that the liabilities were adequate; therefore, it has not recorded any additional non life insurance liabilities.

Income recognition

(i)Gross premiums


Life insurance contracts

Gross recurring premiums on life contracts are recognized as revenue when due from policyholder. For single premium business, revenue is recognized on the date on which the policy is effective.

Non-life insurance contracts

Gross non-life insurance direct and assumed premiums comprise the total premiums written and are recognized at the contract inception as a receivable.At the same time, it is recorded a reserve for unearned premiums which represents premiums for risks that have not yet expired. Unearned premiums are recognized into income over the contract period which is also the coverage and risk period.

Income from the sale of medicines is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the medicines have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the medicines.

Income from medical services and sale of medicines is recorded in the caption “Other income” of the consolidated statements of income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Benefits, claims and expenses recognition

(i)Gross benefits and claims

Gross benefits and claims for life insurance contracts include the cost of all claims arising during the year including internal and external claims handling costs that are directly related to the processing and settlement of claims. Death, survival and disability claims are recorded on the basis of notifications received. PensionAnnuities payments are recorded when due.

 

General insurance and health claims includes all claims occurring during the year, whether reported or not, related internal and external claims handling costs that are directly related to the processing and settlement of claims, a reduction for the value of salvage and other recoveries, and any adjustments to claims outstanding from previous years.

Reinsurance claims are recognized when the related gross insurance claim is recognized according to the terms of the relevant contract.

 

(iv)Cost of medical services and sale of medicines (those not categorized as healthcare insurance)
Cost of medical services is recorded when incurred.

Reinsurance claims are recognized when the related gross insurance claim is recognized according to the terms of the relevant contract.

Cost of sale of medicines, which is the cost of acquisition of the medicines, is recorded when medicines are delivered, simultaneously with the recognition of income for the corresponding sale.

Cost of medical services and sale of medicines are recorded in the caption “Other expense” of the consolidated statements of income.

 

(f)Financial Instruments: Initial recognition and subsequent measurement -

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

 

The Group classifies its financial instruments in one of the categories defined by IAS 39: financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; available-for-sale financial investments; held-to-maturity financial investments and other financial liabilities. The Group determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on the purpose and the Management intention for which the financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics. All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus any directly attributable incremental cost of acquisition or issue, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, for example the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(i)Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includesinclude financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, which designation is upon initial recognition and in an instrument by instrument basis. Derivatives financial instrument are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedging instruments.

 

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, and are presented in the caption “Trading securities” of the consolidated statements of financial position.

 

Management may only designate an instrument at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when the following criteria are met:

 

-the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or

 

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

 

-the financial instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives, which significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract.

 

Changes in fair value of designated financial assets through profit or loss upon initial recognition are recorded in the consolidated income statement caption “Net gain on financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss”. of the consolidated statements of income. Interest earned is accrued in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Interest and dividendsimilar income” or “interest and similar expenses”, according to the terms of the contract. Dividend income is recorded when the collection right has been established.

 

F-27

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(ii)Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

 

After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Interest and dividendsimilar income”. Losses from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the caption “Provision for loan losses”losses, net of recoveries”.

 

Direct loans are recorded when disbursement of funds to the clients are made. Indirect (off-balance sheet) loans are recorded when documents supporting such facilities are issued. Likewise, Credicorp considers as refinanced or restructured those loans that change their payment schedules due to difficulties in the debtor’s ability to repay the loan.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

An allowance for loan losses is established if there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loans. The allowance for loan losses is established based in an internal risk classification and considering any guarantees and collaterals received, Note 3(i) and 29.1.32.1.

 

(iii)Available-for-sale financial investments

Available-for-sale financial investments include equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available-for-sale are those that are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at a fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and that may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions.

 

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale reserve, net of its corresponding deferred tax and non-controlling interest, until the investment is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Net gain on sale of securities”, or determined to be impaired, at which time the impaired amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the caption “Impairment loss on available–for–sale investments” and removed from the available-for-sale reserve.

 

Interest and dividendssimilar income earned are recognized in the consolidated statements of income statement in the caption “Interest and dividendsimilar income”. Interest earned is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method and dividends earned are recognized when collection rights are established.

 

Estimated fair values are based primarily on quoted prices or, if quoted market prices are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with the credit quality and maturity of the investment.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

The Group evaluates whether theits ability and intention to sell its available-for-sale financial assets in the near term is still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, and management’s intention to do so significantly changes in the foreseeable future, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets. Reclassification to loans and receivables is permitted whenassets if the financial assets meet the definition of loans and receivables and the GroupManagement has the intentability and abilityintention to hold thesesuch assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

 

Reclassification to the held-to-maturity category is permitted only when the Group has the ability and intention to hold theFor a financial asset accordingly.reclassified from the available-for-sale category, the fair value carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its new amortized cost and any previous gain or loss on the asset that has been recognized in equity is amortized to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate.

 

As of December, 31, 2011During the years 2013 and 2010,2012, the Group did not reclassify any of its available-for- sale financial investments.

 

(iv)Held-to-maturity financial investments

Held-to-maturity financial investments are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities, which Credicorp has the intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity financial investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included in the caption “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statements of income. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

As of December, 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group has not recognized any impairment loss on held-to-maturity investments.

If the Group were to sell or reclassify more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments before maturity (other than in certain specific circumstances), the entire category would be tainted and would have to be reclassified as available-for-sale. Furthermore, the Group would be prohibited from classifying any financial asset as held-to-maturity during the following two years.

As of December, 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group did not sell or reclassify any of its held-to-maturity investments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

(iv)(v)Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and security lending and borrowing transactions

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date are not derecognized from the consolidated statements of financial position as the Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. The cash received is recognized as an asset with a corresponding obligation to return it, including accrued interest, as a liability in the caption “Payables from repurchase agreements and security lendings”, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan to the Group. The difference between the sale and repurchase price is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate and is recognized in the caption “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statements of income.

When the counterparty has the right to sell or repledge the securities, the Group reclassifies those securities in the caption “Investments available-for-sale pledged as collateral” or “Investments held-to-maturity pledged as collateral”, as appropriate, of the consolidated statements of financial position.

Conversely, securities purchased under agreements to resell at a specified future date are not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position. The consideration paid, including accrued interest, is recorded in the caption “Receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowings” of the consolidated statements of financial position, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan by the Group. The difference between the purchase and resale price is recorded in the caption “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statements of income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate.

If securities purchased under agreement to resell are subsequently sold to third parties, the obligation to return the securities is recorded as a short sale in the consolidated statements of financial position caption “Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss” and measured at fair value, with any gains or losses included in the consolidated statements of income caption “Net gain on sale of securities”.

Securities lending and borrowing transactions are usually collateralized by securities and cash. The transfer of the securities to counterparties is only reflected on the consolidated statements of financial position if the risks and rewards of ownership are also transferred.

(vi)Put and call options over non-controlling interest

Put options granted to non-controlling interests give rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount. When the financial liability is recognized initially, the present value of the amount payable upon exercise of the option is recorded in equity. All subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the liability, due to a re-measurement of the present value of the amount payable on exercise, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Call options are initially recognized as a financial asset at their fair value, with any subsequent changes in their fair value recognized in profit or loss. If the call options are exercised, the fair value of the option at that date is included as part of the cost of the acquisition of the non-controlling interest. If the call options lap unexercised, any carrying amount for the call option is expensed in profit or loss.

Put and call options do not give the Group present access to the benefits associated with the ownership interest.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(vii)Other financial liabilities

After initial measurement other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost includes any issuance discount or premium and directly attributable transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

 

(g)Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities -

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or a part 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 without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

 

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability; difference between the carrying amount of the original financial liability and the difference in the respective carrying amountconsideration paid is recognized in the consolidated income statementstatements of income.

 

(h)Offsetting financial instruments -

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and Management has the intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

(i)Impairment of financial assets -

The Group assesses at each date of the consolidated statements of financial position whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impairedAn impairment exists if and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that havehas occurred aftersince the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event (or events), has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will go bankrupt or other legal financial reorganization process and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Criteria used for each category of financial assets are as follows:

 

(i)Loans and receivablesFinancial assets carried at amortized cost

For loans, receivables and receivablesheld-to-maturity investments that are carried at amortized cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

If there is objective evidence that anThe amount of any impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the lossidentified is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred).

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. Interest income, if applicable, is accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest ratestatements of the asset.income. A loan, together with the associated allowance, is written off when classified as loss, is fully provisioned and there is real and verifiable evidence that the loan is irrecoverable and collection efforts concluded without success, impossibility of foreclosures or all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Group. If in any subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account.

 

If in the future a write-off loan is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, as a credit to the caption “Provision for loan losses”losses, net of recoveries”.

 

The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

For a collective evaluationassessment of impairment, financial assets are grouped considering the Group’s internal credit grading system, which considers credit risk characteristics; for example: asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type and past-due status and other relevant factors.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Future cash flows from a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the years on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not currently exists. The methodology and assumptions used are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

 

(ii)Available-for-sale financial investments

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at each date of the consolidated statements of financial position whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

 

In the case of equity investments, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below cost. “Significant” is to be evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any previously recognized impairment loss) is removed from investments available-for-sale reserve of the consolidated statements of changes in equity and recognized in the consolidated income statement.statements of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement;statements of income; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

In the case of debt instruments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost (loans and receivables).cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Interest income is recorded as part of “Interest and dividendsimilar income” of the consolidated income statement.statements of income. If in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of income, statement, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statements of income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

(iii)Renegotiated loans

When a loan is modified, it is no longer considered as past due but it maintains its previous classification as impaired or not impaired. If the debtor complies with the new agreement during the following six months, and an analysis of its payment capacity supports a new improved risk classification, it is classified as not impaired. If subsequent to the loan modification the debtor fails to comply with the new agreement, it is considered as impaired and past due.

 

(j)Leases -

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based in the substance of the arrangement at inception date: whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets on the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

 

Operating leases -

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and benefits of the asset are hold by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Under this concept the Group has mainly leases used as banking branches.

 

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any penalty payment to the lessor is recognized as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.

 

Finance leases -

Finance leases are recognized as granted loans at the present value of the future lease collections. The difference between the gross receivable amount and the present value of the loan is recognized as unearned interest. Lease income is recognized over the term of the lease agreement using the effective interest rate method, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

 

(k)Property, furniture and equipment -

Property, furniture and equipment are stated at historical acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if applicable. Historical acquisition costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquired property, furniture or equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to the consolidated income statement;statements of income; significant renewals and improvements are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance, will flow from the use of the acquired property, furniture or equipment.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over theirthe estimated useful life,lives, which are as follows:

 

 Years
  
Buildings, hospitals and other construction33
Installations10
Furniture and fixtures10
Vehicles and equipment5
Computer hardware4

 

An item of property, furniture and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Asset’s residual value, useful life and the selected depreciation method are periodically reviewed to ensure that they are consistent with current economic benefits and life expectations.

 

(l)Seized assets -

Seized assets are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated market value, which is obtained from valuations made by independent appraisals. Reductions in book values are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

 

(m)Business combination -

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in the caption “Administrative expenses” of the consolidated statements of income.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized either in either profit or loss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of IAS 39, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Acquisition of non-controlling interest is recorded directly in equity; the difference between the amount paid and the share of the net assets acquired is a debit or credit to equity. Therefore, no additional goodwill is recorded upon purchase of non-controlling interest nor a gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of a non-controlling interest.

Net equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position. Income attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statements of income and in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(n)Intangible assets -

Comprise internal developed and acquired software licenses used by the Group. Acquired software licenses are measured on initial recognition at cost. These intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life (between 3 and 5 years).

 

Intangible assets identified as a consequence of the acquisition of subsidiaries and other intangible assets, are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at their fair values determined on the acquisition date and are amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful life; as follows:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

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

 

(n)(o)Goodwill -

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the subsidiaryaggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the differenceliabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.the consolidated financial of income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating unit’scash-generating units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the combination.combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

 

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

 

(o)(p)Impairment of non-financial assets -

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

 

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated 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 risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

 

For non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. 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.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

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, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

(p)(q)Due from customers on acceptances -

Due from customers on acceptances corresponds to accounts receivable from customers for import and export transactions, whose obligations have been accepted by the Group. The obligations that must be assumed by the Group for such transactions are recorded as liabilities.

 

(q)(r)Financial guarantees -

In the ordinary course of business, the Group issues financial guarantees, such as letters of credit, guarantees and acceptances. Financial guarantees are initially recognized at fair value (which is equivalent at that moment to the fee received) asin the caption “Other liabilities” inof the consolidated statements of financial position. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liability under each guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in the consolidated statements of income, statement, and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the financial guarantee.

 

Any increase in the liability relating to a financial guarantee is included in the consolidated statements of income. The fee received is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the caption “Banking services commissions” of the consolidated statements of income on a straight line basis over the life of the granted financial guarantee.

 

(r)(s)Defined contribution pension plan -

The Group only operates a defined contribution pension plan. The contribution payable to a defined contribution pension plan is in proportion to the services rendered to the Group by the employees and it is recorded as an expense in the caption “Salaries and employeesemployee benefits” of the consolidated income statement.statements of income. Unpaid contributions are recorded as a liability.

 

(s)(t)Provisions -

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow or resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statements of income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the specific risks of the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(t)(u)Contingencies -

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed in notes, unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements; they are disclosed if it is probable that an inflow of economic benefits will be realized.

 

(u)(v)Income tax -

Income tax is computed based on individual financial statements of Credicorp and each one of its Subsidiaries.

 

Deferred income tax reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts determined for tax purposes. Deferred assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or eliminated. The measurement of deferred assets and deferred liabilities reflects the tax consequences that arise from the manner in which Credicorp and its Subsidiaries expect, at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of when the timing differences are likely to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is more likely than not, that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. At the date of the consolidated statements of financial position, Credicorp and its Subsidiaries assess unrecognized deferred assets and the carrying amount of recognized deferred assets.

 

Credicorp and its Subsidiaries determine the deferred income tax considering the tax rate applicable to its undistributed earnings; any additional tax on dividends distribution is recorded on the date a liability is recognized.

 

(v)(w)Earnings per share -

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to Credicorp’s equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased and held as treasury stock.

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to Credicorp’s equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased and held as treasury stock, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(w)(x)Share-based payment transactions -

(i)        Cash-settled transactions

As explained in Note 18(a)19(a), until 2008 the Group granted a supplementary remuneration plan to certain employees who had at least one year serving Credicorp or any of its Subsidiaries in the form of stock appreciation rights (SARs) over a certain number of Credicorp shares. SARs were granted at a fixed price and are exercisable at that price, allowing the employee to obtain a gain in cash (“cash-settled transaction”) arising from the difference between the fixed exercise price and the market price at the date the SARs are executed.

 

The SARs fair value is expensed over the period up to the vesting date, with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated income statement caption “Salaries and employee benefits”. of the consolidated statements of income.

When the price or terms of the SARs are modified, any additional expense is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

 

(ii)

      Equity-settled transactions

As explainexplained in Note 18(b)19(b), since 2009 a new supplementary remuneration plan was implemented to replace the SARs plan (see (i) above).

 

The cost of this equity-settled plan is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘the vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

The expense is recorded in the consolidated income statements caption “Salaries and employeesemployee benefits”. of the consolidated statements of income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized in the consolidated income statement “Salaries and employees benefits” caption is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock awards is reflected as a share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share, see Note 3(v).(w) above.

 

(x)(y)Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting -

Trading -

The Group negotiates derivative financial instruments in order to satisfy client’s needs. The Group may also take positions with the expectation of profiting from favorable movements in prices, rates or indexes.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

Part of transactions with derivatives , while providing effective economic hedges under Group’s risk management positions, do not qualify for hedge accounting under the specific rules of IAS 39 and are, therefore, treated as trading derivatives.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost and subsequently are re-measured at their fair value. Fair values are estimated based on the market exchange and interest rates. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Gain and losses for changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Hedge -

The Group uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to interest rate and foreign currency. In order to manage particular risks, the Group applies hedge accounting for transactions which meet the specified criteria.

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including the nature of the risk, the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge and the method that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

 

Also, at the inception of the hedge relationship, a formal assessment is undertaken to ensure the hedging instrument is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the designated risk in the hedged item. Hedges are formally assessed at each reporting date. A hedge is regarded as highly effective if changesa change in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated is expected to offset in a range between 80 percent and 125 percent.

 

The accounting treatment is established according to the nature of the hedged item and compliance with the hedge criteria.criteria, as follows:

 

(i)Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly inas other comprehensive income in the cashcaption “Cash flow hedge reserve,hedges reserve”, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

Amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the consolidated statements of income when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedgeshedge reserve are transferred to the consolidated income statement.statements of income. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in the cash flow hedgeshedge reserve until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss.

 

(ii)Fair value hedges

The change in the fair value of an interest rate hedging derivativefair value hedges is recognized in the caption “Interest and similar income” or “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statements of income in interest expense.income. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as a part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognized in the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

For fair value hedges relating to consolidated items carried at amortized cost, theany adjustment to carrying value isof these items, as a result of discontinuation of the hedge, will be amortized through the consolidated statements of income over the remaining maturity term. Effective interest rate amortizationterm of the hedge. Amortization may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and shall begin no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.

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

 

If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or where the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is terminated. For hedged items recorded at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying value of the hedged item on termination and the face value is amortized over the remaining term of the original hedge using the effective interest rate. If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value adjustment is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

(iii)Embedded derivates

Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts, and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The Group has certificates indexed to the price of Credicorp Ltd. shares that will be settled in cash, and investments indexed to certain life insurance contracts liabilities, denominated “Unit Linked”. These instruments have been classified at inception by the Group as “Financial instruments at fair value though profit or loss”, see Note 3(f)(i), and Note 7.8.

 

(z)Fair value measurement -
Policy applicable from 1 January 2013 -

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group. Also, the fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance 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 regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

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

The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

-Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
-Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

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

Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in note 32.7(b).

Policy applicable until December 31, 2012 -

The Group considered “Fair value” as the amount for which an asset could be exchange, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction on the measurement date.

When available, the Group measured the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

If a market for a financial instrument was not active, then the Group would have established fair value using a valuation technique. The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as little as possible on estimates specific to the Group, incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. However, in some cases the initial estimate of fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition may be different from its transaction price. If this estimated fair value is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument (without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets, then the difference is recognized in profit or loss on initial recognition of the instrument. In other cases, the fair value at initial recognition is considered to be the transaction price and the difference is not recognized in profit or loss immediately but is recognized over the life of the instrument on an appropriate basis or when the instrument is redeemed, transferred or sold, or the fair value becomes observable.

(y)(aa)Segment reporting -

The Group reports financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are a component of an entity for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions about how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the same basis as it is used internally for evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments, Note 26.28.

 

(z)(ab)Fiduciary activities, management of funds and pension funds -

The Group provides custody, trustee, investment management and advisory services to third parties that result in the holding of assets on their behalf. These assets and income arising thereon are excluded from these consolidated financial statements, as they are not assets of the Group, Note 29.8.32.8.

 

Commissions generated for these activities are included in the caption “Other income” of the consolidated statements of income.

 

(aa)Repurchase agreements -

Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements (‘Repos’) are presented as pledged assets when the counterparty has the right to sell or repledge the collateral; the counterparty liability is included in the caption “Other liabilities” in the consolidated statements of financial position.

The difference between sale and repurchase price is considered as interest and is accrued over the life of the related agreement using the effective interest rate method.

(ab)(ac)Cash and cash equivalents -

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances of cash and non-restricted balances with central banks, overnight deposits, time deposits and amounts due from banks with original maturities of three months or less.less, excluding restricted balances.

 

(ac)(ad)Reclassifications -

When it is necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Certain transactions were reclassified in the current year presentation; in Management’s opinion those reclassifications are not significant tomade in the consolidated financial statementstatements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

2012, are not significant considering the consolidated financial statements as whole.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

(ad)(ae)Recently issuedIssued International Financial Reporting Standards but not yet effective -

The Group decided not to early adopt the following standards and interpretations that were issued but not effective as of December 31, 2011:2013:

 

-IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income — Amendments to IAS 1”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. The amendments to IAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified.32 “Financial instruments: Presentation – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities (amendment)”

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The amendment clarifies the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off and criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify for offsetting.

Furthermore, this amendment clarifies that in order to offset two or more financial instruments, entities must currently have a right of set-off that cannot be contingent on a future event, and must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances: (i) the normal course of business; (ii) an event of default; and (iii) an event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity or any of the counterparties.

 

-IAS 12 “Income Taxes39 “Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting – (amendment) – Recovery of Underlying Assets”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The amendment clarified the determination2014. These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered through sale. Furthermore, it introduces the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 always be measured onderivative designated as a sale basis of the asset.

-IAS 19 “Employee Benefits (amendment)”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording.

-IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011)”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As a consequence of the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, what remains of IAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate financial statements. The Group does not present separate financial statements.

-IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates.

-IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”. Effective for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. The amendment requires additional disclosure about financial assets that have been transferred but not derecognized to enable the user of the financial statements to understand the relationship with those assets that have not been derecognized and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendment requires disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognized assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity’s continuing involvement in those derecognized assets.hedging instrument meets certain criterias.

 

-IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments: ClassificationInstruments”

IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 (2010) introduces additions relating to financial liabilities. IFRS 9 (2013) introduces new requirements for hedge accounting that align it more closing with risk management. The requirements also establish a more principles-based approach to hedge accounting and address inconsistencies and weaknesses in the hedge accounting model in IAS 39. The IASB currently has an active project to make limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and add new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 is not specified but will be determined when the outstanding phases are finalized. However, application of IFRS 9 is permitted.

-Investment Entities (amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and Measurement”.IAS 27)

These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity under IFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss.

-IFRIC 21 “Levies”

It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. This interpretation clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached.

-Improvements to IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets as defined in IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have no impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The completion of this project is expected over the course of 2012.(cycles 2010-2012 y 2011-2013)

 

The IASB issued improvements to IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, IFRS 2 "Share-based Payment", IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", IFRS 13 "Fair value Measurement", IAS 16 "Property, plant and Equipment", IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures”, IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" and IAS 40 "Investment Property", effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

-IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC-12 “Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities”. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27.

-IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method.

-IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required.

-IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

-Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Objectives and Qualitative Characteristics. The IASB is currently in the process of updating its Conceptual Framework. The conceptual framework project is being conducted in phases and the current version was revised in 2010 (effective from September 28, 2010). The Conceptual Framework is not an IFRS statement. However, it is used when developing an accounting policy in the absence of a standard, and is applicable to all prepares of IFRS general purpose financial statements.

 

The Group is in process of assessing the impact, if any, that the application of these standards may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Management annually assesses goodwill to identify any impairment; assumptions used are consistent with previous years. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Management concluded that there is no impairment in the recorded goodwill.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

11.(b)Goodwill -

Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to each subsidiary or groups of them, which are also identified as a CGU for the purposes of impairment testing, as follows:

The recoverable amount of all CGUs has been determined based on value in use calculations, determined by discounting the future cash flows expected to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU.

The following table summarizes the key assumptions used for value in use calculations in 2013 and 2012:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

  As of December 31, 2012 
Description Terminal value
growth rate
  Discount rate 
  %  % 
       
IM Trust  4.90   10.34 
Private hospitals  3.50   7.97

Atlantic Security Bank  3.00   4.84 
Willis Corredores de Seguros S.A.  2.50   11.40 

Five years of cash flows were included in the discounted cash flow model. The growth rate estimates are based on past performance and management’s expectations of market development. A long-term growth rate into perpetuity has been determined taking into account forecasts included in industry reports.

Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU. The discount rate is derived from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors, specific risk incorporated by applying individual comparable beta factors adjusted by the debt structure of each CGU and country and market risk specific premiums to each CGU. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data.

For the period ended December 31, 2013, the Group recorded a gross impairment loss amounting to US$19.3 million for IM Trust as a result of the assessment of the recoverable amount of IM Trust’s CGU, which amounts to US$162.2 million and its declines this year due to lower generated revenues in comparison to revenues originally budgeted by the Management. In addition, the Group recorded a gross impairment loss amounting to US$1.0 million for Willis Corredores de Seguros S.A.

During 2013, the total gross impairment recorded by the Group is presented in the caption “Impairment loss on Goodwill” of the consolidated statements of income (During 2012, there was no impairment in the recorded goodwill).

The key assumptions described above may change as economic and market conditions change. The Group estimates that reasonably possible changes in these assumptions would not cause the recoverable amount of all CGU to decline below the carrying amount.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

Thereon, the most critical assumption for calculating the goodwill impairment of IM Trust is the corresponding to the discount rate. In this sense, if the rate had risen 0.5 percent, the impairment would have increased by approximatelyUS$12.2 million; on the other hand, if the rate had dropped 0.5 percent, the impairment would have decreased by approximately US$13.9 million.

Credicorp’s Management has estimated the SARs’ fair value as of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, using the binomial option pricing model, considering the following market information:

 

Key assumptions 2011 2010  2013 2012
            
Expected volatility  39.05%  37.91% 30.17% 37.23%
Risk free interest rate  2.43%  3.55% 1.19% 3.08%

Quoted price of Credicorp shares at year-end US$109.47  US$118.91  US$132.73 US$146.56

 

The expected life of the SARs is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the SARs is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because any other party to a financial instrument fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The exposures to losses are represented by the contractual amounts specified in the related contracts. The Group applies the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments (Note 6(a)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 are expected to expire without any performance being required; therefore, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

29.32.Financial risk management

 

The Group’s activities involve principally the use of financial instruments, including derivatives. The Group accepts deposits from customers at both fixed and floating rates, for various periods, and seeks to earn above-average interest margins by investing these funds in high-quality assets. The Group seeks to increase these margins by consolidating short-term funds and lending for longer periods at higher rates, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due.

 

The Group also seeks to raise its interest margins by obtaining above-average market margins, net of allowances, through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a range of credit products. Such exposures involve not just on-balance sheet loans and advances; the Group also enters into guarantees and other commitments such as letters of credit and performance.

 

The Group also trades in financial instruments where it takes positions in traded and over-the-counter instruments, including derivatives, to take advantage of short-term market movements in equities, bonds, currencies and interest rates.

 

In this sense, risk is inherent in the Group’s activities but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to the Group’s continuing profitability and each individual within the Group is accountable for the risk exposures relating to his or her responsibilities. The Group is exposed to operating risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, the latter being subdivided into trading and non-trading risks.

 

The independent risk control process does not include business risks such as changes in the environment, technology and industry. They are monitored through the Group’s strategic planning process.

 

(a)Risk management structure-

(a)       Risk management structure -

The Group’s Board of Directors and of each subsidiary is ultimately responsible for identifying and controlling risks; however, there are separate independent bodies in the major subsidiaries (BCP, PPS, ASHC and Prima AFP) responsible for managing and monitoring risks, as further explained bellow:

 

(i)Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of each major Subsidiary is responsible for the overall risk management approach and responsible for the approval of the policies and strategies currently in place. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued) 

 

(ii)Risk Management Committee

The Credit Risk Committee is mainly composed by the Chief Risk Executive, the Manager of the Risk Management Area, the Manager of the Operational Risk Management Department, the Manager of the Internal Audit Division.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

(iii)Chief Risk Management DepartmentOffice

The Chief Risk Office is responsible for Implementing policies, procedures, methodologies and actions to identify, measure, monitor, mitigate, report and control the different types of risks to which the Group is exposed. Also, it participates in the design and definition of the strategic plans of the business units to ensure that they are framed within the risk appetite metrics approved by the Board of Directors.

The Chief Risk Office is divided into the following areas:

Risk Management Area

The Risk Management Department of each major SubsidiaryArea is responsible for developing, implementingof ensuring that policies and improving, on a continuous basis, the Group’s risk management infrastructurepolicies established by adoptingthe Board of Directors are complied with and incorporating global best practicesmonitored. The Risk Management Area is composed by the Credit Risk Management Department, Market Risk Management Department, the Operational Risk Management Department and following established policies.the Insurance Risk Management Department.

Treasury Risk Area

The Treasury Risk Area is responsible of planning, coordinating and monitoring the compliance of the Treasury Division with risk measurement methodologies and limits approved by the Risk Management Committee. Also, it is responsible to assess the effectiveness of hedge derivatives and the valuation of investments.

Consumer and Micro-business Risk Area

(iv)Internal AuditTreasury Division

Treasury Division is responsible for managing the Group’s assets and liabilities and the overall financial structure. It is also primarily responsible for the Group’s management of funding and liquidity risks; as well as the investment and derivative portfolios, assuming the related liquidity, interest rate and exchange rate risks under the policies and limits currently effective.

(v)Internal Audit Division

Risk management processes throughout the Group are monitored by the internal audit function, which examines both the adequacy of the procedures and the compliance of them. Internal Audit discusses the results of all assessments with Management, and reports its findings and recommendations to Credicorp’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

 

(v)Treasury and Foreign Exchange Department

Treasury Department is responsible for managingNotes to the Group’s assets and liabilities and the overallconsolidated financial structure. It is also primarily responsible for the Group’s management of funding and liquidity risks; as well as the investment, forward and spot portfolios, assuming the related liquidity, interest rate and exchange rate risks, under the policies and limits currently effective.statements(continued)

 

(b)Risk measurement and reporting systems-systems -

The Group's risks are measured using a method which reflects both the expected loss likely to arise in normal circumstances and unexpected losses, which are an estimate of the ultimate actual loss based on statistical models. The models make use of probabilities derived from historical experience, adjusted to reflect the economic environment. The Group also runs worse case scenarios that would arise in the event that extreme events which are unlikely to occur do, in fact, occur.

 

Monitoring and controlling risks are primarily performed based on limits established by the Group. These limits reflect the business strategy and market environment of the Group as well as the level of risk that the Group is willing to accept. In addition, the Group monitors and measures the overall risk bearing capacity in relation to the aggregate risk exposure across all risk types and activities.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Information compiled from all the Group’s Subsidiaries is examined and processed in order to analyze, control and identify early any risks. This information is presented and explained to the Board of Directors, the Risk Management Committee, the Audit Committee, and all relevant members of the Group. The report includes aggregate credit exposure, credit metric forecasts, hold limit exceptions, VaR (Value at Risk), liquidity ratios and risk profile changes. Senior Management assesses the fair value of the investments and the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses periodically.

 

(c)Risk mitigation-mitigation -

As part of its overall risk management, the Group uses derivatives and other instruments to manage exposures resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currencies, equity risk and credit risk.

 

The risk profile is assessed before entering into hedge transactions, which are authorized by the appropriate level of seniority within the Group. The effectiveness of hedges is assessed by the Treasury Risk Management Department.Area. The effectiveness of all the hedge relationships is monitored monthly. In situations of ineffectiveness, the Group will enter into a new hedge relationship to mitigate risk on a continuous basis.

 

The Group actively uses collateral to reduce its credit risks.

 

(d)Excessive risk concentration-concentration -

Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location.

 

In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Group’s policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

29.1.32.1.Credit risk -

 

(a)The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will causecauses a financial loss by failing to discharge an obligation. 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 in lending activities that lead to loans and receivables from security borrowings, and investment activities that bring debt securities and other bills into the Group’s asset portfolio. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as contingent credits (indirect loans), which expose the Group to similar risks to loans (direct loans); they are both mitigated by the same control processes and policies. Likewise, credit risk arising from derivative financial instruments is, at any time, limited to those with positive fair values, as recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Impairment provisions are provided for losses that have been incurred at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position. Significant changes in the economy or in the particular situation of an industry segment that represents a concentration in the Group’s portfolio could result in losses that are different from those provided for at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position.

 

The Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower or groups of borrowers, and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a revolving basis and subject to frequent reviews. Limits in the level of credit risk by product, industry sector and by geographic segment are approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and principal repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits where appropriate. Some other specific control and mitigation 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 the taking of securitycollateral for loans granted. The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. Main collaterals accepted for loans and advancesThe main types of collateral obtained are mortgages over residential properties; liens over business assets such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable; and liens over financial instruments such as debt securities and equities.follows:

 

-For reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowings, collateral is securities.
-For loans and advances, collaterals include, among others, mortgages over residential properties; liens over business assets such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable; and liens over financial instruments such as debt securities and equities.

Longer-term finance and lending

Notes to corporate entities are generally secured; revolving individual credit facilities and loans to micro entrepreneurs are generally unsecured. In addition, in order to minimize credit loss the Group will seek additional collateral from the counterparty as soon as impairment indicators arise.consolidated financial statements(continued)

-For longer-term finance and lending to corporate entities, collateral includes revolving individual credit facilities. Loans to micro entrepreneurs are generally unsecured. In addition, 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 back 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. It is the Group’s policy to dispose off repossessed properties in an orderly manner. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. In general, the Group does not use repossessed properties for its own business.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued) 

 

(ii)Derivatives

The Group maintains strict control limits on net open derivative positions (for example, the difference between purchase and sale contracts), by both amount and term. The amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current fair value of instruments that are favorable to the Group (for example, an asset when fair value is positive), which in relation to derivatives is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional amount used to express the volume of instruments outstanding. This credit risk exposure is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers, together with potential exposures from market movements. Collateral or other security is not usually obtained for credit risk exposures on these instruments.

 

Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities or equity is made in the expectation of a corresponding receipt in cash, securities or equity. Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty in order to cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from the Group’s market transactions on any single day.

 

(iii)Credit-related commitments

The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and standby letters of credit have the same credit risk as 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

In order to manage credit risk, as part of the Group’s risk management structure, see Note 29(a)32(a), there is a Credit Risk Management Department whose major functions are implementing methodologies and statistical models for measuring credit risk exposures, developing and applying methodologies for the calculation of risk-ratings, both at the corporate and business unit levels, performing analysis of credit concentrations, verifying that credit exposures are within the established limits and suggesting global risk exposures by economic sector, time term, among others.

 

Also, a Risk Assessment Committee has been established comprising three directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Risk Division Manager,Officer, the Risk Management Department Manager, Central Manager Retail Banking, Central Manager Wholesale Banking, the Credit Division Manager and the Internal Audit Division Manager as an observer. Each of the financial indicators prepared by the Risk Management Department are analyzed by this committee on a monthly basis to subsequently evaluate the policies, procedures and limits currently effective at the Group to ensure that an efficient and effective risk management is always in place.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

At the same time, the Group has a Credit Division, which establishes the overall credit policies for each and all the businesses in which the Group decides to take part. Said credit policies are set forth based on the guidelines established by the Board of Directors and keeping in mind the statutory financial laws and regulations. It’s main activities are: establish the client credit standards and guidelines (evaluation, authorization and control),; follow the guidelines established by the Board of Directors and General Management, as well as those established by governmental regulatory bodies,bodies; review and authorize credit applications, up to the limit within the scope of its responsibilities and to submit to upper hierarchies those credit applications exceeding the established limits,limits; monitor credit-granting activities within the different autonomous bodies, among others.

 

(b)The maximum exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, before the effect of mitigation through any collateral, is the book value of each class of financial assets indicated in Note 29.7(a)32.7(a), 32.7(b) and the contingent credits detailed in Note 19(a)20(a).

 

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal exposure of credit risk to the Group resulting from both its loan portfolio and investments based on the following:

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal exposure of credit risk to the Group resulting from both its loan portfolio and investments based on the following:

 

-9899 percent of the gross loan portfolio is categorized in the top two grades of the internal rating system as of December 31, 2011 and 2010;2013 (98 percent as of December 31, 2012);

 

-97 percent of the loan portfolio is considered to be neither past due nor impaired as of December 31, 2011 (982013 (96 percent as of December 31, 2010)2012);

 

-81.680 percent of the investments have at least investment credit rating (BBB- or higher) or are debt securities issued by BCRP (unrated) as of December 31, 2011 (65.72013 (80.5 percent as of December 31, 2010)2012);

-76.5 percent of securities received as collateral in reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowings have investment credit rating (BBB- or higher) or are debt securities issued by the Colombian and Chilean Governments as of December 31, 2013 (93.6 percent as of December 31, 2012); and

 

-15.212.0 percent and 68.771.8 percent of the cash and due from banks represent amounts deposited in the Group’s vaults or in the BCRP, (including overnight operations), respectively, as of December 31, 2011 (102013 (8.7 percent and 7479.1 percent, respectively, as of December 31, 2010)2012).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

(c)Credit risk management for loans -

Credicorp classifies its loan portfolio into one of five risk categories, depending upon the degree of risk of non-payment of each debtor. The categories used are: (i) normal - A, (ii) potential problems - B, (iii) substandard - C, (iv) doubtful - D and (v) loss - E, which have the following characteristics:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued) 

 

Normal (Class A): Debtors of commercial loans that fall into this category have complied on a timely basis with their obligations and at the time of evaluation do not present any reason for doubt with respect to repayment of interest and principal on the agreed dates, and there is no reason to believe that the status will change before the next evaluation. To place a loan in Class A, a clear understanding of the use to be made of the funds and the origin of the cash flows to be used by the debtor to repay the loan is required. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class A if payments are current or up to eight days past-due. Residential mortgage loans warrant Class A classification if payments are current or up to thirty days past-due.

 

Potential problems (Class B): Debtors of commercial loans included in this category are those that at the time of the evaluation demonstrate certain deficiencies, which, if not corrected on a timely manner, imply risks with respect to the recovery of the loan. Certain common characteristics of loans or credits in the category include: delays in loan payments which are promptly covered, a general lack of information required to analyze the credit, out-of-date financial information, temporary economic or financial imbalances on the part of the debtor which could affect its ability to repay the loan, and market conditions that could affect the economic sector in which the debtor is active. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class B if payments are between 9 and 30 days late. Residential mortgage loans become Class B when payments are between 31 and 60 days late.

 

Substandard (Class C): Debtors of commercial loans included in this category demonstrate serious financial weakness, often with operating results or available income insufficient to cover financial obligations on agreed upon terms, with no reasonable short-term prospects for a strengthening of their financial capacity. Debtors demonstrating the same deficiencies that warrant classification as category B warrant classification as Class C if those deficiencies are such that if they are not corrected in the near term, they could impede the recovery of principal and interest on the loan on the originally agreed terms. In addition, commercial loans are classified in this category when payments are between 61 and 120 days late. Consumer loanand micro-business loans are categorized as Class C if payments are between 31 and 60 days late. Residential mortgage loans are classified as Class C when payments are between 61 and 120 days late.

 

Doubtful (Class D): Debtors of commercial loans included in this category present characteristics that make doubtful the recovery of the loan. Although the loan recovery is doubtful, if there is a reasonable possibility that in the near future the creditworthiness of the debtor might improve, a Class D categorization is appropriate. These credits are distinguished from Class E credits by the requirement that the debtor remain in operation, generate cash flow, and make payments on the loan, although at a rate less than that specified in its contractual obligations. In addition, commercial loans are classified in this category when payments are between 121 and 365 days late. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class D if payments are between 61 and 120 days late. Residential mortgage loans are Class D when payments are between 121 and 365 days late.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Loss (Class E): Commercial loans which are considered unrecoverable or which for any other reason should not appear on Group’s books as an asset based on the originally contracted terms fall into this category. In addition, commercial loans are classified in this category when payments are more than 365 days late. Consumer and micro-business loans are categorized as Class E if payments are more than 120 days late. Residential mortgage loans are Class E when payments are more than 365 days late.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

The Group reviews its loan portfolio on a continuing basis in order to assess the completion and accuracy of its classifications.

 

All loans considered impaired (the ones classified as substandard, doubtful or loss) are analyzed by the Group’s Management, which addresses impairment in two areas: individually assessed allowance and collectively assessed allowance, as follows:

 

-Individually assessed allowance -

The Group determines the appropriate allowance for each individually significant loan or advance on an individual basis. Items considered when determining allowance amounts include the sustainability of the counterparty’s business plan, its ability to improve its performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, projected cash flows and the expected dividend payout should bankruptcy happens, the availability of other financial support, including the realizable value of collateral, and the timing of the expected cash flows. Impairment losses are evaluated at each reporting date, unless unforeseen circumstances require more careful attention.

 

The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group in order to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

 

-Collectively assessed allowance -

Allowance requirements are assessed collectively for losses on loans and advances that are not individually significant (including consumer, micro-business and residential mortgages) and for individually significant loans and advances where there is not yet objective evidence of individual impairment (included in categories A and B). Allowances are evaluated on each reporting date with each portfolio receiving a separate review.

The collective assessment takes account of impairment that is likely to be present in the portfolio even though there is not yet objective evidence of the impairment in an individual assessment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the following information: historical losses on the portfolio, current economic conditions, the approximate delay between the time a loss is likely to have been incurred and the time it will be identified as requiring an individually assessed impairment allowance, and expected receipts and recoveries once impaired. Management is responsible for deciding the length of this period which can extend for as long as one year. The impairment allowance is then reviewed by Management to ensure alignment with the Group’s overall policy.

 

F-97

The methodology includes three estimation scenarios: base, upper threshold and lower threshold. These scenarios are generated by modifying some assumptions, such as collateral recovery values and adverse effects due to changes in the political and economic environments. The process to select the best estimate within the range is based on management´s best judgment, complemented by historical loss experience and the Company’s strategy (e.g. penetration in new segments).

 

NotesImpairment losses are evaluated at each reporting date as to the consolidatedwhether there is any objective evidence that a financial statements(continued) asset or group of assets is impaired.

 

Financial guarantees and letter of credit (indirect loans) are assessed and a provision estimated following a similar procedure as for loans.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

In the case of borrowers in countries where there is an increased risk of difficulties in servicing external debt, an assessment of the political and economic situation is made, and an additional country risk provision is recorded.recorded, if deemed necessary.

 

When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related provision for loan impairment. Such loans are written off after all the necessary legal procedures have been completed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of the provision for loan impairment in the consolidated income statements.statements of income.

(d)Credit risk management on reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowings -

Most of these operations are performed by Credicorp Capital Colombia and IM Trust. The Group has implemented credit limits for each counterparty and most of the transactions are collaterized with investment grade financial instruments issued by Colombian and Chilean entities and financial instruments issued by the Colombian and Chilean Governments.

(e)Credit risk management on investments in trading securities, available-for-sale and available-for-saleheld-to-maturity -

The Group evaluates the credit risk identified of each of the financial instruments in these categories, considering the risk rating granted to them by a risk rating agency. For investments traded in Peru, the risk ratings useused are those provided by the three most prestigious Peruvian rating agencies (authorized by the Peruvian government regulator) and for investments traded abroad, the risk-ratings used are those provided by the three most prestigious international rating agencies. In the event any subsidiary useuses a risk-rating prepared by any other risk rating agency, such risk-ratings arewill be standardized with those provided by the afore-mentioned institutions for consolidation purposes.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(g)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 statements, irrespective of whether they are offset in the statement of financial position.

The similar agreements include derivative clearing agreements, master repurchase agreements, and master securities lending agreements. Similar financial instruments include derivatives, receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowings, payables from repurchase agreements and security lendings and other financial assets and liabilities. Financial instruments such as loans and deposits are not disclosed in the tables below unless they are offset in the statement of financial position.

The offsetting framework agreement issued by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. (“ISDA”) and similar master netting arrangements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position because of such 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 such 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 marketable securities in respect of the following transactions:

-Derivatives;
-Receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowings;
-Payables from repurchase agreements and security lendings; and
-Other financial assets and liabilities

Such collateral is subject 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 on the counterparty’s failure to post collateral.

-Receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and security borrowing, payables from repurchase agreements and security lendings and investments held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost.
-Investments available-for-sale are measured at fair value.

The different between the carrying amount in statement of financial portion and the amounts presented in the tables above for derivatives (presented in other assets note 12(b)), receivables from reverse repurchase agreement and security borrowing, payables from repurchase agreements and security lending; are financial instruments not in scope of offsetting disclosure.

32.2. Market risk -

 

The Group takes on exposure to market risks, 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 nature of the Group’s current activities, commodity price risk is not applicable.

 

The Group separates exposures to market risk into two groups: (i) those that arise from value fluctuation of trading portfolios 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 (ALM Book).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

 

The risks that trading portfolios face are managed through Value at Risk (VaR) historical simulation techniques; while non-trading portfolios are managed using Asset and Liability Management (ALM).

 

(a)

(a)        Trading Book –

The trading book is characterized for having liquid positions in equities, bonds, foreign currencies and derivatives, arising from market-making transactions where the Group acts as a principal with the clients or with the market. This portfolio includes investments and all derivatives both of them 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 positions held and the maximum losses that are expected, based upon a number of assumptions for various changes in market conditions.

 

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

 

The 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 times the square root of 10. This adjustment will be exact only if the changes in the portfolio in the following days have a normal distribution identical and independent; otherwise, the VAR to 10 days will be an approximation.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

The assessment of past movements has been based on historical one-year data and 109 market risk factors, which are composed as follows: 23 market curves, 75 stock prices, 10 mutual funds values and one volatility series. The Group applies these historical changes in rates directly to its current positions (a method known as historical simulation). The Management believes the market risk factors incorporated into its VaR model are adequate to measure the market risk to which the Group’s trading book 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 should 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 Risk Committee of the Treasury and ALM Risk Committee, the Risk Management CommitteesCommittee and Senior Management.

 

In VaR calculation, the foreign exchange effect is not included because it is measured in the net monetary position, see note 29.232.2 (b)(ii).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

(b)       ALM Book –

Non-trading portfolios which comprise the ALM Book are exposed to different sensitivities that can bring about a deterioration in the value of the assets compared to its liabilities and hence to a reduction of its net worth.

 

(i)Interest rate risk -

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair values of financial instruments. Cash flows interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on both its fair value and cash flows risks. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may also decrease in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Board sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate re-pricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored daily by the TreasuryMarket Risk Management Department.

 

Re-pricing gap -

Gap analysis comprises aggregating re-pricing timeframes into buckets and checking if each bucket nets to zero. Different bucketing schemes might be used. An interest rate gap is simply a positive or negative net re-pricing timeframe for one of the buckets.

Sensitivity to changes in interest rates –

The following table presents the sensitivity to a reasonable possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s consolidated statements of income statement and consolidated statements of comprehensive income; before income tax and non-controlling interest.

 

The sensitivity of the consolidated statements of income statement is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the net interest income for one year before income tax and non-controlling interest for one year, based on the floating rate of non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities held at December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, including the effect of derivatives instruments. The sensitivity of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is calculated by revaluing interest rate from fixed rateincome available-for-sale and held to maturity financial assets, before income tax and non-controlling interest, including the effect of any associated hedges, and derivatives instruments designated as cash flow hedges, as of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 for the effects of the assumed changes in interest rates:

The interest rate sensitivities set out in the table above are illustrative only 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. In addition, the Group seeks proactively to change the interest rate risk profile to minimize losses and optimize net revenues. The projections above also assume that interest rate of all maturities move by the same amount and, therefore, do not reflect the potential impact on net interest income of some rates changing while others remain unchanged. The projections make other simplifying assumptions too, including that all positions run to maturity.

Commitments in liabilities at fair value (short sales) are related to fixed income and equity financial instruments, and have maturities of one month or less, therefore, the Group expects minimal price fluctuations. As a result, the Group is not subject to significant price risk on these financial liabilities.

 

(ii)Foreign exchange risk -

The Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Management sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total for both overnight and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

The Group manages foreign exchange risk by monitoring and controlling the position values due to changes in exchange rates. The Group measures its performance in U.S. Dollar, so if the net foreign exchange position (e.g. Peruvian currency) is an asset, any depreciation of the U.S. Dollar with respect to this currency would affect positively the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position. The current position in a foreign currency comprises exchange rate-linked assets and liabilities in that currency. An institution’s open position in individual currencies comprises assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items denominated in the respective foreign currency for which the institution itself bears the risk; any appreciation/depreciation of the foreign exchange would affect the consolidated income statement.statements of income.

 

The Group’s net foreign exchange balance is the sum of its positive open non-U.S. Dollars positions (net long position) less the sum of its negative open non-U.S. Dollar positions (net short position); and any devaluation/revaluation of the foreign exchange position would affect the consolidated income statement.statements of income. A currency mismatch would leave the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position vulnerable to a fluctuation of the foreign currency (exchange rate shock).

 

The table below shows the sensitivity analysis of the Peruvian Currency, the currency to which the Group had significant exposure as of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 on its non-trading monetary assets and liabilities and its forecast cash flows. The analysis calculates the effect of a reasonably possible movement of the currency rate against the U.S. Dollar, with all other variables held constant on the consolidated statements of income, statement, before income tax. A negative amount in the table reflects a potential net reduction in consolidated statements of income, statement, while a positive amount reflects a net potential increase:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

29.3.32.3.Liquidity risk -

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors, fulfill commitments to lend or meet other operating cash needs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

 

The Group is exposed to daily calls on, among others, its available cash resources from overnight deposits, current accounts, maturing deposits, loans draw-downs, guarantees and other calls. The Group does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs, as experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. The Management of the Group’s subsidiaries sets limits on the minimum proportion of funds available to meet such calls and on the minimum level of inter-bank and other borrowing facilities that should be in place to cover withdrawals at unexpected levels of demands. Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by a separate team in Group Treasurythe Market Risk Management Department to maintain a wide diversification by currency, geography, provider, product and term.

 

The matching and controlled 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 the risk of losses.

 

The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interest-bearing liabilities as they mature are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group and its exposure to changes in interest rates and exchange rates.

 

Liquidity requirements to support calls under guarantees and standby letters of credit (indirect loans) are considerably less than the amount of the commitment, because the Group does not generally expect the third party to draw funds under the agreement. The total outstanding contractual amount of commitments to extend credit does not necessarily represent future cash requirements, as many of these commitments will expire or terminate without being funded.

A maturity mismatch, long-term illiquid assets against short-term liabilities, exposes the consolidated statements of financial position to risks related both to rollover and to interest rates. If liquid assets do not cover maturing debts; a consolidated statements 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 service. The contractual-maturity gap report is useful in showing liquidity characteristics.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

  

29.4.32.4.Operational risk -

 

Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from systems failure, human error, fraud or external events. When controls fail to perform, operational risks can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications, or lead to financial loss. The Group cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risks, the Group is able to manage the risks. Controls include effective segregation of duties, access, authorization and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes, including the use of Internal Audit.

 

29.532.5Risk of the insurance activity -

 

The principal risk the Group faces under insurance contracts is that the actual claims and benefit payments or the timing thereof, differ from expectations. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long-term claims. Therefore the objective of the Group is to ensure that sufficient reserves are available to cover these liabilities.

 

The above risk exposure is mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance contracts. The variability of risks is also improved by careful selection and implementation of underwriting strategy guidelines, as well as the use of reinsurance arrangements. The Group’s placement of reinsurance is diversified such that it is neither dependent on a single reinsurer nor are the operations of the Group substantially dependent upon any single reinsurance contract.

 

Life insurance contracts

 

The main risks that the Group is exposed are mortality, morbidity, longevity, investment return, expense incurred of loss arising from expense experience being different than expected, and 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 largely 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 when death 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 earlier or more claims than expected.

 

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

 

Management has made a sensitivity analysis of the estimates of the technical reserves, Note 14(c)15(c).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

Non-life insurance contracts (general insurance and healthcare)

 

The Group principally issues the following types of general insurance contracts: motor, householdautomobile, fire and commercialallied and health.technical lines and healthcare. 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.

 

These risks do not vary significantly in relation to the location of the risk insured by the Group, type of risk insured or industry.

 

The above risks exposures are mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance contracts. The variability of risk is improved by careful selection and implementation of underwriting strategies, which are designed to ensure that risks are diversified in terms of risks type and level of insured benefits. This is largely achieved through diversification across industry sectors and geography. Further, strict claim review policies to assess all new and ongoing claims, 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.

 

In the following paragraphs the Group has segregated some risk information related to its insurance business, which has been already included in the Group’s consolidated risk information; in order to provide more specific insight about this particular business.

The interest rate sensitivities set out in the table above are illustrative only and employ simplified scenarios. It should be noted that the effects may not be linear and therefore the results cannot be extrapolated. The sensitivities do not incorporate actions that could be taken by Management to mitigate the effect of the interest rate movements, nor any changes in policyholders’ behaviors.

 

(b)Liquidity risk of the insurance activity -

The Group’s insurance companies are exposed to requirements of cash available, mainly for contracts of insurance claims of short term. The Group holds the available funds for covering its liabilities according to their maturity and estimated unexpected claims.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

 

The Group’s insurance companies control liquidity risk through the exposure of the maturity of their liabilities. Therefore, the investment plan has been structured considering the maturities in order to manage the risk of fund requirements to cover insurance claims and others, in addition to the Group support.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

The undiscounted cash flows payable by the Group for technical reserves, insurance claims reserves and technical reserves for unearned premiums by their remaining contractual maturities, including future interest payments, is presented in Note 29.3.32.3.

 

Other non-derivative financial liabilities are related to the balances presented in the consolidated statements of financial position and include mainly accounts payable to reinsurers and coinsurers and other liabilities with contractual maturities of less than one year, see also Note 29.3.32.3.

 

Unit linked liabilities are payable on demand and are included in the up to a year column.

 

(c)Credit risk of the insurance activity -

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.

 

The following policies and procedures are in place to mitigate the Group’s exposure to credit risk:

 

-The Group sets the maximum amounts and limits that may be advanced to corporate counterparties by reference to their long- term credit ratings.

 

-Credit risk from customer balances, will only persist during the grace period specified in the policy document or trust deed until the policy is paid up or terminated. Commissions paid to intermediaries are netted off against amounts receivable from them in order to reduce the risk of doubtful accounts.

 

-Reinsurance is placed with counterparties that have a good credit rating and concentration of risk is avoided by following guidelines in respect of counterparties’ limits which are set each year by the Board of Directors and are subject to regular reviews. At each reporting date, Management performs an assessment of creditworthiness of reinsurers and updates the reinsurance purchase strategy, ascertaining suitable allowance for impairment.

 

-A Group policy setting out the assessment and determination of what constitutes credit risk for the Group is in place, its compliance is monitored and exposures and breaches are reported to the Group risk committee. The policy is regularly reviewed for pertinence and for changes in the risk environment.

 

-The Group issues unit linked contracts whereby the policyholder bears the investment risk on the financial assets held in the Company’s investment portfolio as the policy benefits are directly linked to the value of the assets in the portfolio. Therefore, the Group has no material credit risk on unit linked financial assets.

F-134

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

-The Group has not provided the credit risk analysis for the financial assets of the unit linked business. This is due to the fact that, in unit linked business, the liability to policyholders is linked to the performance and value of the assets that back those liabilities and the shareholders have no direct exposure to any credit risk in those assets.

29.6.32.6.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.

 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital, which is a broader concept than the “Equity” on the face of the consolidated statements of financial position, 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.

 

On June 2008, by means ofConsidering the Banking Law and Legislative Decree N° 1028, the Banking Law was amended. The amendments provided that the regulatory capital must be equal to or more than 10 percent of total risk weighted assets and contingent operations, represented by the sum of: the regulatory capital requirement for market risk multiplied by 10, the regulatory capital requirement for operational risk multiplied by 10 and the weighted assets and contingent credits by credit risk. This calculation must include all balance sheet exposures or assets in local or foreign currency. This ratio was gradually implemented until July 2011. As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, the minimum requirement is 10.0 and 9.8 percent, respectively.percent.

 

The risk-weighted assets are measured by means of a hierarchy of five risk weights classified according to the nature and reflecting an estimate of credit, market and other risks associated with each asset and counterparty, taking into account any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-balance sheet exposure, with some adjustments to reflect the more contingent nature of the potential losses.

 

According to the SBS regulations, the Junior Subordinated Notes issued by BCP are computable to determinate the Group’s regulatory capital, see Note 15(a)(iii)16(a)(vii).

 

As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, the regulatory capital for the subsidiaries engaged in financial and insurance activities amounted to approximately US$3,022.74,828.4 and US$2,391.33,975.6 million, respectively. This regulatory capital has been determined in accordance with SBS regulations in force as of such dates. According to the SBS regulations, the Group’s regulatory capital exceeds in approximately US$549.8759.4 million the minimum regulatory capital required as of December 31, 20112013 (approximately US$514.8357.5 million as of December 31, 2010)2012).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

 

On July 20, 2011, SBS issued Resolution N° 8425 - 2011which states that an entity must determine an additional regulatory capital. In this sense, Peruvian financial institutions must develop a process to assess the adequacy of its regulatory capital in relation with their risk profile, which must follow the methodology described in said resolution. The additional regulatory capital will be equal to the amount of regulatory capital requirements calculated for each of the following components: economic cycle, concentration risk, market concentration risk, interest rates risk, among others. Peruvian financial institutions have a term of five years from July 2012 to adequate their regulatory capital to the new requirements.

Considering the excess of regulatory capital held by the Group as of December 31. 20112013 and 2012 in the Management’s opinion, the BankGroup has complied with the requirements set forth in such resolution.

 

29.7.32.7.Fair valuevalues -

 

(a)FairFinancial instruments recorded at fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, assuming an on-going enterprise.and fair values hierarchy –

The following table analyses financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date, by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statement of financial position:

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 tradedregarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and liquidregularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market itstransactions on an arm’s length basis.

Financial instruments included in the Level 2 category are those that are measured on the basis of observed markets 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 price in an actual transaction providesdata.

Notes to the best evidenceconsolidated financial statements(continued)

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

-Valuation of derivatives 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, foreign exchange, forward rates and interest rate curves. Options are valued using well-known, widely accepted valuation models.

A credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is not available, or may not be indicativeapplied to the “Over-The-Counter” derivative exposures to take into account the counterparty’s risk of default when measuring the fair value of the instrument,derivative. CVA is the mark-to market cost of protection required to determine suchhedge 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.

Credicorp calculates EE using a Monte Carlo simulation at a counterparty level. The model inputs include market values from current market data and model parameters implied from quoted market prices. These are updated at each measurement date. Collateral and netting arrangements are taken into account where applicable. PDs and LGDs are derived from a credit spread simulation based on a deterministic model or a Monte-Carlo model that incorporates rating migration and market observable data where available.

A debit valuation adjustment (DVA) is applied to incorporate 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, 2013, derivatives receivables and payables amounted to US$165.2 million and US$154.3 million, respectively, see Note 12(b), generating CVA and DVA adjustments for approximately US$3.4 million and US$1.2 million, respectively. Also, the net impact of both concepts in the consolidated statements of income amounted to US$3.4 million.

-Valuation of debt securities available for sale classified as level 2

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

Financial instruments included in the Level 3 category are those that are measured using valuation techniques based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

Fair value of another instrument thatcorporate, leasing and subordinated bonds, included in level 3, is substantially similar, discounted cash flow analysis or other estimation techniques may be used, all of which areestimated considering a possible change in interest rate within a range between 75 and 125 basis points; nevertheless, such change would not affect significantly affected by assumptions used. Although Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments there are inherent weaknessesas of December 31, 2013.

Also, fair value of put options over non-controlling interest, included in any estimation technique. Aslevel 3, is estimated considering a result,possible change in interest rate within a range between 50 and 150 basis points; nonetheless, such change would not affect significantly the fair value mayof these instruments as of December 31, 2013. 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the net unrealized gain of Level 3 financial instruments amounts to US$6.7 million and US$6.6 million, respectively. During 2013 and 2012, the changes in the value of level 3 financial instruments have not be indicativebeen significant; as result, there were not significant purchases, issues, settlements, results or other movements; neither transfers from Level 3 to Level 1 and Level 2 or viceversa.

The methodologies and assumptions used 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, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these loans. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying amounts of loans, net of allowances, were not materially different from their calculated fair values.
(ii)Assets for which fair value approximatesvalues approximate their carrying value - For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or having a short term maturity (less than three months) it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate to their fair value.values. This assumption is also applied to demand deposits, savings accounts without a specific maturity and variable rate financial instruments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

 

(ii)(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 money-marketmarket interest rates for debtsfinancial instruments with similar credit risk and maturity. For quoted debt issued the fair values are calculated based on quoted market prices. For those notes issued whereWhen 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.

 

(iii)Financial instrument recorded at fair value - The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the dates of the consolidated statements of financial position is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques and comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, see (b).

Included in the Level 1 category are financial assets that are measured in whole or in part by reference to published quotes 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.

The Level 2 category are financial assets and liabilities measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions, are assets and liabilities for which pricing is obtained via pricing services, but where prices have not been determined in an active market, financial assets with fair values based on broker quotes, investments in private equitypension funds with fair values obtained via fund managers and assets that are valued using the Group’s own models whereby the majority of assumptions are market observable.-

The Level 3 category are financial assets measured using a valuation technique (model) based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the net unrealized gain of Level 3 financial instruments amounts to US$1.4 million and US$2.8 million, respectively and the gross impairment recorded amounted to US$7.8 million and US$11.2 million, respectively. During 2011 and 2010, there were no transfer from Level 3 to Level 1 and Level 2 of financial instruments measured at fair value.

Legal claim contingencies –

 

30.(i)Commitments and contingenciesMadoff Trustee Litigation -

Legal claim contingency –

On September 22, 2011, the Trustee for the liquidations of Bermard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS), and the substantively consolidated state of Bermard L. Madoff (“the Madoff Trustee”) filed a complaint against Credicorp’s subsidiary Atlantic Security Bank (ASB) in U.S. Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York, for an amount of approximately US$120 million (“the Complaint”), which corresponds to the funds that ASB managed in Atlantic US Blue Chip Fund and that were redeemed between the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005 from Fairfield Sentry Limited in Liquidation (hereafter “Fairfield”), a feeder fund that invested in BLMIS.

 

The Complaint further alleges that the Madoff Trustee filed an adversary proceeding against Fairfield, seeking to avoid and recover the initial transfers of monies from BLMIS to Fairfield; that on June 7 and 10, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement among the Madoff Trustee, Fairfield and others; and that the Madoff Trustee is entitled to recover the sums sought from ASB as “subsequent transfers” of “avoided transfers” from BLMIS to Fairfield that Fairfield subsequently transferred to ASB. The Madoff Trustee has filed similar actions against other alleged “subsequent transferees” that invested in Fairfield and its sister entities which, in turn, invested and redeemed funds from BLMIS.

In addition,Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

Initially, ASB as well as other defendants, filed a motioncounsel and the Trustee agreed that ASB had until April 24, 2013 to withdrawmove, answer or otherwise respond to the referenceComplaint. However, subsequently ASB counsel and the Trustee agreed to Bankruptcy Court. ASB´s Management considers thatextend the case against ASB raises several important issues that it believes require interpretation of federal, non-bankruptcy law and which interpretation should be addressed by a U.S. federal district court as opposed to a federal bankruptcy court. In this regard, an administrative order entered by the Bankruptcy Court on March 5, 2012 provides that the defendants, including ASB, shall file one consolidated brief no later than May 3, 2012 regarding this issue.time until July 16, 2014.

 

Management believes that ASB has substantial defenses against the Madoff Trustee’s claims alleged in the Complaint and intends to contest these claims vigorously, both in the Bankruptcy Court or District Court, as applicable.vigorously. Management considers, among other substantial defenses, that the Complaint considers only the amounts withdrawn, without taking into account the amounts invested in Fairfield. Furthermore, ASB after redeeming said funds from Fairfield, re-invested them in BLMIS through another vehicle, that resulted in a net loss in the funds that ASB managed on behalf of its clients for approximately US$78 million as of December, 2008.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

(ii)Fairfield Liquidator Litigation -

ASB counsel and the Trustee have agreed that ASB has until September 5, 2012 to move, answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint.

In addition, onOn April 13, 2012, the liquidatorFairfield and its representative, Kenneth Krys (the “Fairfield Liquidator”), filed an adversary proceeding against ASB pursuant to Chapter 15 of Fairfield filed a complaint in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court against ASB and the beneficial owners of accountsCode, in the U.S Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, styled as Fairfield funds held bySentry Limited (In Liquidation) v.

Purchase agreement –34. Subsequent events

(a)Change in functional currency -

Items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). Until December 31, 2013, Credicorp Ltd. and its subsidiaries operating in Peru (see note 3 (b)), determined that its functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, that is the currency that best reflects the economic environment as well as the facts and circumstances relevant to such subsidiaries.

 

Due to changes in the economic environment in which the Group's main subsidiary, BCP operates, and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, Management conducted a review of the functional currency of Credicorp Ltd. and its subsidiaries in Peru, concluding that there has been a change in the functional currency from U.S. Dollars to Nuevos Soles effective January 1, 2014. The main indicators that the Management has considered are: (i) changes in the economic environment of the country where its main subsidiary (BCP) operates; (ii) the gradual increase of loans and deposits in Nuevos Soles and the financial income and expenses; and (iii) the regulatory and competitive factors presented in the Peruvian financial system, which have entrenched the Nuevo Sol against the U.S. Dollar.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements(continued)

As result, starting 2014 the assets, liabilities, income and expenses as well as cash generated by Credicorp Ltd. and its Peruvian subsidiaries will be predominantly in Nuevos Soles and the trend is to continue to grow the importance of such currency.

The prevalence of the Nuevo Sol in the Peruvian economy has been driven in late 2013 with banking and financial regulations that promote the predominance of the Nuevo Sol. This is reinforced by the recognition of the Peruvian economy as a stable economy in the long term that has been confirmed in late 2013.

This conclusion was discussed and approved by the Board of Directors meeting held on January 22, 2014 and will be reported for ratification at the General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in March 2014, whereby the functional currency of Credicorp Ltd., effective January 1, 2014, will be the Nuevo Sol.

The change in functional and presentation currency was performed prospectively starting January 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, for comparative purposes, would been translated to Nuevo Soles following the methodology of IAS 21 considering the Nuevo Sol as the presentation currency.
