CORPBANCA ANNOUNCES
FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS
Santiago, Chile, May 8, 2008 - CORPBANCA (NYSE: BCA), a Chilean financial institution offering a wide variety of corporate and retail financial products and services, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. This report is based on unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Chilean generally accepted accounting principles. Figures are expressed in Chilean pesos as of March 31, 2008 and percentages are expressed in real terms. Solely for the convenience of the reader, U.S. dollar amounts in this report have been translated from Chilean pesos at our March 31, 2008 exchange rate of Ch$435.81 per U.S. dollar.
| • | Adoption of IFRS and 2007 comparatives |
The Bank has reclassified certain balance sheet and income statement accounts as required by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF). These reclassifications have been made as the first steps towards convergence to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As a result, these reclassifications, as specified by the SBIF, have not been applied to prior periods. Therefore, figures reported in 2008 are not directly comparable to past years. Readers should exercise caution in determining trends based on prior year figures. See section “Other Related Information” for more details regarding IFRS.
| • | Analysis of Results |
Net income for the period ended March 31, 2008 was Ch$11.7 billion, an increase of Ch$4.7 billion (real), or 68.2% as compared to the same period last year. Our gross operating revenues reached Ch$53.9 billion. This was offset by provisions for loan losses of Ch$8.6 billion, operating expenses of Ch$28.1 billion, and price-level restatement expenses of Ch$3.2 billion.
The following table provides information relating to the composition of our consolidated net income for the period ended March 31, 2008, in millions of Chilean pesos:
| Period ended Mar 31, 2008 | |||
(Expressed in millions of Chilean pesos, except percentage amounts) | |||

| • | Gross Margin |
Our gross operating revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $53.9 billion. The following table provides detailed information relating to the composition of our consolidated gross operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, in millions of Chilean pesos:
| Period ended Mar 31, 2008 | |||
(Expressed in millions of Chilean pesos, except percentage amounts) | |||
Interest revenue | 102,170 | ||

Fees and income from services, net | 9,856 | ||
Trading and investment income, net | (11,614 | ) | |
Foreign exchange gains (losses), net | 13,749 | ||
Other revenue | 2,317 | ||
Gross operating revenues | 53,933 |
Interest Revenue
Net interest revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was Ch$39.6 billion. This is a substantial increase over the prior year and is a result of two factors, our growth in average interest-earning assets over last year and our interest revenues from inflation indexed interest-earning assets. In 2008, the rate of inflation was greater than that experienced in 2007. As a result, our current funding strategy is positively affected by inflation because we have a greater amount of assets denominated in inflation indexed Chilean UF currency (unidad de fomento) than our UF denominated liabilities. Accordingly, our UF denominated assets reprice quicker than our peso denominated liabilities.
Beginning January 2008, interest revenue from our trading portfolio financial assets are no longer included in this line item. However, interest revenue from our financial investments available-for-sale are included in this line item.
Net interest margin (net interest revenue over interest-earning assets) reached 3.6% as of March 31, 2008.
Fees and income from services
Fees and income from services for the period ended March 31, 2008 was Ch$9.9 billion. This was an increase of approximately Ch$1.3 billion, or 16% when compared to last year. As a result of our efforts in 2007 and during the first quarter of 2008, we have grown actively in retail banking products which has allowed us to increase our retail client base to 228 thousand, an increase of 19 thousand versus the same period last year. Furthermore, we have continued our effort to expand cross-selling, product usage as well as raising fees in line with what we believe to be the market standard. As of March 31, 2008 we had approximately 62 thousand retail checking accounts and 243 thousand credit cards, an increase over last year of 25% and 31%, respectively. However, this strong growth in retail checking accounts has not reduced the average balance per account which remains flat at Ch$1 million and in line with industry standards. In addition, this demonstrates our strategy to grow profitably by not sacrificing our risk policies in order to obtain more clients. As for our credit cards, we have an account usage rate of 55.9% versus the industry’s average of 45.8% during the first quarter of 2008. We have
2
improved our usage rate by 100 basis points as opposed to the industry’s average which has experienced a decrease of over 260 basis points. Our excellent promotions such as discounts on gasoline purchases and our no-interest option on purchases for up to 24 months has allowed to excel in the usage of this product.
Trading and investment income - Net Foreign exchange gains and losses
Trading and investment income primarily includes the results from our trading portfolio financial assets (interest, marked-to-market adjustments, gains and losses from sales), gains and losses from our derivative trading portfolio, and gains and losses from sales financial investments available-for-sale.
Net foreign exchange gains and losses include both the recognition of the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies and loans and deposits in Chilean pesos indexed to foreign currencies as well as the results of foreign exchange transactions.
During the first quarter of 2008, we incurred a loss in our net trading and investment income of Ch$11.6 billion, offset by a gain of Ch$13.7 billion in foreign exchange transactions. This resulted in a net gain of Ch$2.1 billion. We currently do not use hedge accounting therefore all of our derivatives and financial instruments that may provide effective economic hedges for managing risk positions are treated and reported as trading.
Other revenue
We received cash proceeds of Ch$1.6 billion for the mandatory partial redemption of our equity interest in Class C (Series I) Common Stock in Visa Inc. This was recorded as a gain in “Other revenue” during the current quarter. The mandatory redemption was part of a process by which a portion of the proceeds from Visa’s IPO would be used to buy back shares from its current institutional stockholders’.
| • | Allowances and provisions for loan losses |
The following table provides comparative information relating to the composition of our allowance for loan losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, in millions of Chilean pesos (except percentages):

| (1) | Certain comparative reclasifications have been made on 2007 figures. |
Our allowance for loan losses for March 31, 2008 remained relatively flat on a year-on-year basis. However, our charge-offs for loan losses increased by 81.8%. This increase was primarily the result of our consumer loan portfolio.

The following table provides detailed information relating to the composition of our provisions for loan losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, in millions of Chilean pesos (except percentages):
| Period ended Mar 31, 2007(1) | Period ended Mar 31, 2008 | D12M (Ch$) | D12M (%) | |||||||||
(Expressed in millions of Chilean pesos, except percentage amounts) | ||||||||||||
Net allowances established | (8,505 | ) | (10,302 | ) | (1,797 | ) | 21.1 | % | ||||
Recovery of loans previously charged-off | 2,050 | 1,697 | (353 | ) | (17.2 | %) | ||||||

| (1) | Certain comparative reclasifications have been made on 2007 figures. |
Our provision for loan losses amounted to Ch$8.6 billion as of March 31, 2008 as compared to Ch$6.5 billion as of the same period last year. This is mainly a result our growth in loans, our penetration in the retail banking segment and the less favourable economic conditions in Chile. As a result, we have implemented stricter admission and approval requirements and improved collection strategies.
Our risk index (allowances for loan losses over total loans) was 1.4%, comparing positively to last year’s index of 1.6% (excluding contingent loans) and to the Chilean banking industry’s index of 1.6%. This decrease in our risk index is primarily due to overall improved profile of our commercial banking clients. In addition, we had record growth in our commercial loan portfolio primarily during the fourth quarter of 2007 which also positively affected our index.
Our past-due loans over total loans was 0.6%, comparing positively to last year’s index of 0.7% (excluding contingent loans) and to the Chilean banking industry’s index of 0.8% as of March 31, 2008.
Our coverage ratio, measured as allowances for loan losses over past-due loans was 241% as of March 31, 2008. This compares favourably to that of the Chilean banking sector which recorded an index of 184% as of March 31, 2008.
| • | Operating expenses |
We incurred operating expenses amounting to Ch$28.1 billion in the first quarter of 2008. This was due to personnel salaries expenses of $14.1 billion, Administrative expenses of Ch$11.0 billion (which in 2008 includes sales force expenses), Depreciation and amortization costs amounting to Ch$1.6 billion and Other operating expenses of Ch$1.4 billion. As part of our strategy, we continue to maintain our efficiency leadership through our cost control culture and our state of the art technology. Our consolidated efficiency ratio (operating expenses / gross operating revenues) at March 31, 2008 was 52.1%.

The following table provides information relating to the composition of our consolidated operating expenses for the period ended March 31, 2008, in millions of Chilean pesos:
| Period ended Mar 31, 2008 | |||
(Expressed in millions of Chilean pesos, except percentage amounts) | |||
Personnel salaries and expenses | (14,144 | ) | |
Administrative and other expenses | (10,985 | ) | |
Depreciation and amortization costs | (1,595 | ) | |
Other operating expenses | (1,385 | ) | |
Total operating expenses | (28,109 | ) |
Personnel salaries and expenses increased by approximately 11% as compared to last year. This increase reflects our growth in personnel to handle additional business activity in our commercial and operational areas. As of March 31, 2008 our consolidated roster was comprised of approximately 3,300 employees, an increase of 27% over last year.
Our administrative and other expenses increased slightly when compared to the prior year (taking into consideration the reclassification of sales force expenses). Prior to 2008, we recorded external sales force expenses as “Other operating revenues and expenses”. In 2008, this has been reclassified to “Administrative and other expenses” in accordance to the new rules of the SBIF (see section “Adoption of IFRS and 2007 comparatives” for further information). During the first quarter of 2007, we incurred approximately Ch$3.5 billion of external sales force expenses. In 2008, this amounted to approximately Ch$3.2 billion, or a decrease of 8.0%. This decrease is mainly due to the fact that we implemented Corp Planes, a special sale force which focuses on high net-worth individuals which was previously outsourced and classified on our income statement as “Other net operating gains and losses”.
Depreciation and amortization costs remained relatively flat when compared on a year-on-year basis.
| • | Price-level Restatement |
During the period ended March 31, 2008, we recorded Ch$3.2 billion of net expenses due to price-level restatement, an increase of Ch$2.3 billion as compared to the same period last year. This is the result of the higher inflation rate experienced during the first quarter of 2008 of 0.82% versus the first quarter of 2007 of 0.23% (accumulated inflation measured from November to February of each year).

| • | Business Activity |
Loan Portfolio. Our total loan portfolio (excluding loans and receivables to banks) totalled Ch$4,065 billion as of March 31, 2008, representing an increase of 19.6% TTM (real). Our market share as of March 31, 2008 was 6.75%.

As of January 2008, contingent credits are no longer considered loans outstanding. As of March 31, 2007 and 2008, we had Ch$326 billion and Ch$325 billion in contingent credits which mainly consist of open and unused letters of credit together with guarantees granted by the Bank in pesos, UF and foreign currencies (principally U.S. dollars). Our market share in this product as of March 31, 2008 was 6.4%.
Commercial loans grew from approximately Ch$1,895 billion to Ch$2,370 billion as of March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Our total wholesale loan market share (including foreign trade, leasing and factoring) was 7.8% as of March 31, 2008.
Retail loans (housing mortgages and consumer loans) grew by Ch$212 billion, reaching Ch$1,121 billion as of March 31, 2008. This increase of 23% was driven by our strong growth in retail mortgage loans which increased by 48% year-on-year, increasing our total retail market share to 5.0%.
| • | Financial Investments |
Our financial investments totalled Ch$171 billion as of March 31, 2008, representing a decrease of 8.2% quarter-on-quarter (real). The following table provides comparative summary of our investment portfolio as compared to December 31, 2007:

Financial investments held-to-maturity | — | — | — | — | ||||||
Total Financial Investments | 185,964 | 170,733 | (15,231 | ) | (8.2 | %) |
Our investment portfolio mainly consists of trading and available-for-sale assets. Trading instruments correspond to financial instruments acquired to generate gains from short-term price fluctuations, brokerage margins, or that are included in a portfolio with a pattern of gaining profit in the short-term. Trading instruments are stated at fair value in accordance with market prices prevailing at the balance sheet’s closing date.
Investment instruments are classified in two categories: held-to-maturity investments and instruments available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity investments include only those instruments which the Bank has
6
the capacity and intent to hold until maturity. All other investment instruments are considered available-for-sale. Investment instruments are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. Instruments available-for-sale at each subsequent period-end are valued at their fair value according to market prices or based on valuation models. Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are charged or credited to equity accounts.
The decrease in our trading portfolio financial assets is mainly due to liquidity administration and an increase in our financial investments available-for-sale which is part of our strategy to build a profitable mid-term investment portfolio.
| • | Funding Strategy |
The International and Treasury Division is responsible for providing liquidity, determining the financing structure, managing the investment portfolio and foreign currency positions.
The following table summarizes our funding as of March 31, 2007 and 2008:

Foreign borrowings | 243,582 | 255,561 | 11,979 | 4.9 | % |
Our checking account balance increased by Ch$18.5 billion, or 9.7% year-on-year. This increase is part of our strategy to increase our client base and our non-interest bearing deposits. As of March 31, 2008 we had an average balance of retail checking accounts of Ch$64.6 billion, a 24.8% increase over last year. Noticeable increases have also been experienced in the average balances of our commercial clients which as of March 31, 2008 reached Ch$120 billion, a 15.8% increase year-on-year. Our checking accounts represent 5.2% of our total interest-bearing liabilities.
Our funding strategy was mainly driven by growth in time deposits and the issuance of banking bonds. In 2007, we placed UF6 million in bonds in the local market, representing approximately Ch$120 billion at March 31, 2008 UF exchange rate. Each of these bonds have a face value of UF2 million and were placed during April, July, and November of 2007. The successful bond placement and the increase in the average durations for time deposits were the main factors contributing to reduced financing costs during 2007 and in the first quarter of 2008. Our savings accounts and time deposits represent 66.7% of our total interest-bearing liabilities while our banking bonds represent 7.8%.
This reduction in domestic borrowings of 86.7% is a result of taking on other forms of financing such as banking bonds, foreign borrowings and a significant increase in saving accounts and time deposits.
Foreign market interest rates have increased due to the sub-prime crisis, resulting in slight increases in our foreign borrowing interest rates. Since most of these obligations have been booked for periods in excess of one year, the full effect of this increase shall be reflected progressively during the rest of 2008. Foreign borrowings represent 6.4% of our total interest-bearing liabilities.

| • | Shareholders’ Equity |

International Financial Reporting Standards:
The Chilean Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (“SBIF”) along with other agencies in Chile agreed to implement IFRS to internationalize the reporting standards of public companies.
8
The strategic plan for the SBIF entails applying the new accounting standards for the banking industry beginning January 2009. In order to ensure the stability of the financial system and to consider certain peculiarities in relation to current laws or regulations, the SBIF released the “Compendio de Normas Contables” (Compendium of Accounting Standards, or “Compendium”). The Compendium contains certain limitations and details for the implementation of the rules of the Colegio de Contadores de Chile (College of Chartered Accountants of Chile), which reflects IFRS.
Beginning 2008, Chilean Banks have begun a process of applying IFRS in certain presentation and disclosure requirements. This involves reclassifying the balance sheet and income statement accounts. However, the SBIF has determined that these reclassifications will not be retroactively restated in the quarterly financial statements. Previously, the SBIF had adopted certain reporting standards which are accepted under IFRS such as circular No. 3,345 which established new rules for the accounting treatment for financial instruments, derivatives, and hedges of financial assets.
