ESFG recognised a further EUR 700.0 million of provisions which impacted on results.

2. MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

2013 was marked by a recovery in global economic activity: growth in the United States accelerated in the second half of the year, driven by the rebound in the labour and housing markets and the strong monetary policy stimuli implemented, while sentiment in the Eurozone also improved. In the second quarter the Eurozone's GDP returned to positive quarterly growth, supporting expectations for an increase of around 1.0% in 2014, following a 0.5% slump in 2013. Furthermore, the year also saw the stabilisation of growth in China at around 7.7%.

 

With activity picking up and the Federal Reserve signalling a reduction in quantitative easing, yields on the 10-year Treasuries and Bunds rose in 2013 from 1.758% to 3.029%, and from 1.316% to 1.929%, respectively. Overall, the emerging markets were penalised by the expected narrowing of access to liquidity. In Brazil, the Real lost around 13.0% against the USD and 17.0% against the EUR while the Bovespa index retreated by 15.5%. In the US and Europe, the rebound of growth and confidence in a context of expansionary monetary policies was particularly favourable for the equity market. In the US, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices gained 29.6% and 38.3%, while in Europe the DAX, CAC and IBEX advanced by 25.5%, 18.0% and 21.4%, respectively. In light of persisting deflationary risks, in November the ECB cut the rate on the main refinancing operations from 0.5% to 0.25%; however, the 3-month Euribor rose by 6 bps in the fourth quarter and 10 bps in the year, to 0.287%, while the EUR advanced by close to 4.5% against the USD, to EUR/USD 1.379.

 

In Portugal, the strong performance of exports and the stabilising trend of domestic demand from the second quarter onwards supported an upturn of economic activity, even if growth remained constrained by the deleveraging process under way across the various sectors. GDP registered an annual contraction of 1.5% in 2013, however it is forecast to grow by close to 1.0% in 2014. From the first to the fourth quarter, unemployment retreated from 17.7%, to 15.3% of the labour force. The net lending capacity of the economy is estimated to have reached c. 2.5% of GDP, helped by the increase in domestic savings and a general government deficit below the target of 5.5% of GDP. Portugal returned to the capital markets in December with a debt exchange operation (EUR 6.6 billion), immediately followed in January 2014 by a EUR 3.25 billion 5-year syndicated bond issue. After hitting a high of 7.5% in July, the yield on the 10-year treasury bonds closed the year at 6.13%, continuing to subside in the first months of 2014, to close to 5.0%. The PSI-20 index climbed by c. 16.0% in 2013.

 

3. OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

ESFG's consolidated net results for the full year 2013, attributable to equity holders of the Company fell to -EUR 864.0 million from EUR 313.6 million in 2012. As well as the consolidation of BES' full year losses and the positive results from its other banking and insurance operations, ESFG's 2013 results include a EUR 700.0 million extraordinary provision which impacted negatively on the Company's consolidated results (see point 6.2).

 

Results of ESFG's core operations were constrained by the challenges of the Eurozone crisis and the impact of the Financial Adjustments' Programme adopted by Portugal. The performance of ESFG's principal banking investment, BES, was affected by the rise of insolvencies in Portugal, impacting on impairment levels and the need to provide adequate provisions. Recent quarterly banking income results, however, show clear improvements. Consolidated contributions from ESFG's other banking operations remain positive, though reduced when compared to 2012. ESFG's consolidated life and non-life insurance results, through BES and Tranquilidade, improved during the reporting period.

 

ESFG, by year-end 2013 and during 2014, continues in its programme of simplification of its investment structure through the sale and/or consolidation of banking and insurance assets. In the first quarter of 2014, and as part of the simplification programme, ESFG saw the following divestments: the sale of its stake in BES Vénétie and the IPO of a material part of its stake in its healthcare investment; Espírito Santo Saúde. In early April 2014 ESFG sold its remaining stake in Banco BEST (see point 4).

 

Consolidated Commercial Banking Income at ESFG declined 14.1% year-on-year to EUR 1.82 billion. Strong growth in customer deposits at BES, however, saw a 6.6% rise to EUR 36.8 billion. Loans to customers decreased slightly during the period with mortgages declining by 4.1%, obversely loans to exporting SME's rose by 4.3% year-on-year. The Bank's Loan to Deposit ratio (LtD) fell from 137% to 121% by year end. Net interest income at BES, which improved in the second half of 2013, fell by 12.4% year-on-year to EUR 1.04 billion. Net Interest Margin (NIM) dropped by 19 bps to 1.51% from 1.70% as the decline in interest rates on assets outpaced the decline in financial liabilities. When compared year-on-year, ESFG's consolidated NII results declined by 16.1%.

 

Consolidated Fees and Commissions (Net of Expenses) at ESFG totalled EUR 723.1 million, a decline of 14.9% year-on-year. Results include the significant cost of guarantees provided by the Portuguese state for certain debt instruments issued by BES but which are expected to end by 2015. Fees and Commission income reported by the Bank declined year-on-year by 16.3% to EUR 693.4 million. Positive quarterly trends, seen in the Bank's NII business, were also seen in Fees and Commissions. Capital market's results, including interest rate, credit and FX as well as equity trading, consolidated at ESFG declined to EUR 86.9 million.

 

ESFG's consolidated net results reflect the challenges faced by BES and its measures to mitigate them, namely the 18.6% year-on-year increase in provisioning charges during the year to EUR 1.42 billion as well as the EUR 700.0 million provision at ESFG. At BES, the increase in provisions for credit to EUR 3.39 billion has seen the credit provisions over gross customer loans rise to 6.8% from 5.3% a year earlier.

 

Consolidated operating expenses during the period grew by 27.6% year-on-year on the back of increased provisioning. Staff costs were contained, however, falling by 10.9% year-on-year to EUR 691.4 million from EUR 777.7 million a year earlier. ESFG's continued organic drive towards business outside of its traditional markets remains a central strategy, with staff and administrative costs in its established markets declining whilst rising in international markets.

 

Total consolidated assets at ESFG declined by 3.1%, from EUR 87.57 billion at the end of 2012 to EUR 84.85 billion at the end of 2013. Consolidated Risk Weighted Assets at ESFG fell to EUR 60.60 billion by the end of the period from EUR 65.08 billion a year earlier.

 

Group Banco Espírito Santo

 

The results of ESFG's banking subsidiary, BES, reflect the difficult operating environment of its principal market of Portugal. Results for the full year 2013 fell to -EUR 517.6 million from EUR 96.1 million a year earlier. The results come at a time when the Bank is strengthening its balance sheet through continued deleveraging, resulting in a reduction in banking income, and reinforcement of its provisions on loans. Net funding from the ECB fell to EUR 5.4 billion from EUR 6.9 billion a year earlier. The course of reducing funding from the ECB contributed to a decline in NIM.

 

Commercial banking income declined by 14.0% year-on-year to EUR 1.73 billion from EUR 2.01 billion in FY12. Quarterly operating results however saw gradual improvement with domestic NII steadily increasing and international NII recovering. Further improvements in macro conditions are expected to support the Bank's improved performance through 2014.

 

The Bank's Core Tier I ratio improved to 10.6%, exceeding the Bank of Portugal's requirement (minimum of 10%); under the EBA calculation method, the Core Tier I ratio is 9.8%, also above the minimum 9.0% established by the European Banking Authority. Under the BIS III, which began in January 2014, the Bank estimates its CET I at 10.1% (8.1% fully implemented, excluding DTA).

 

At the end of the second quarter BES' Life insurance subsidiary BES Vida completed a monetisation transaction of its life risk portfolio which contributed to the Bank's results. During the fourth quarter BES benefited from the capital increase at BES Angola, which contributed an additional 25 bps to the consolidated capital position of the Bank. Further operations, which included a sale of a stake in Energias de Portugal ('EDP') and two synthetic securitisation operations, improved the Bank's overall solvency position. Under BIS II, risk-weighted assets (RWAs) at BES fell by EUR 4.35 billion from the beginning of the year to EUR 57.33 billion.

 

The deleveraging programme, which began in 2010, and pre-empted the Portuguese Government's request for assistance, has continued through the last quarter of 2013. ESFG's banking subsidiary's LtD ratio at year end of 2013 fell to 121%, a decrease of some 16 percentage points. The marked improvement in the LtD ratio was supported by the increase in the year's customer deposits. Deposits reached EUR 36.83 billion, an increase of 6.6% year-on-year. Overall customer funds, including deposits and other on and off balance sheet products, rose by 4.0% year-on-year from EUR 44.8 billion to EUR 46.6 billion.

 

Although overall asset quality remained resilient, the economic situation in Portugal has had its effect on the levels of overdue loans both in Portugal and internationally. Non-Performing Loans (NPL) of over 90 days rose from 3.9% at the end of 2012 to 5.7% by the end of 2013. On a quarterly basis, it was noted that NPL formation is slowing down, with negative net new entries in credit at risk in the fourth quarter 2013. Coverage levels have been reinforced, with on-balance sheet provision reserves reaching 6.8% of gross loans (covering 65% of credit at risk vs. 57% one year ago), a 25.8% increase during the period to EUR 3.39 billion. Overdue loans in Portugal show the same trend, with a reduction of stock in the last quarter of the year.

 

Consolidated international operations play an important role in Espírito Santo Financial Group's strategy of diversification. Spain, Brazil and Africa make up BES' strategic banking triangle, when adding its other international interests, namely the UK and the USA, international contributions remain positive, but to a lesser degree when compared to a year earlier. Results from the Bank's international operations reached EUR 21.9 million following a fall in capital markets results and continued provisioning. International net interest income rose by 31.8% year-on-year to EUR 470.9 million driven by the Bank's Angolan operations. Fees and Commissions declined to EUR 192.0 million. Combined, international commercial banking rose by 1.6% year-on-year.

 

The increase in international net interest income helped counter the 31.6% decline in domestic NII. Combined international and domestic commercial banking income at BES fell by -12.4%. Consolidated banking income at BES, including capital markets and other results, fell to EUR 1.73 billion from EUR 2.00 billion in 2012, a decline of 14.0%. Developments at BES' international operations include the recovery in the United Kingdom driven by the expansion of wholesale funding; the positive evolution in France and Luxembourg were countered by lower contributions from African operations and the negative impact of the EU crisis on the Bank's operations in Spain.

 

At Banco Espírito Santo de Angola ('BESA'), in which BES has a 55.7% stake and management control, total assets reached EUR 8.24 billion, a year-on-year rise of 4.0%, and its credit portfolio rose by 9.0% to EUR 5.89 billion. By the end of the year, customer funds declined by 6.0%. Net income reached EUR 40.3 million with NII rising by 66.0% to EUR 235.0 million. Results were however affected by a reduction in fees and commission and a reinforcement of provisions.

 

BES reinforced its position in Moza Banco during the first half of the year by acquiring 24.0% of the capital of Grupo Geocapital and now holds 49.0% of the share capital of Moza Banco. The Mozambican bank's operations continued to grow during the year with deposits rising by 72.0% year-on-year to EUR 360.0 million.

 

Investment banking activities at Espírito Santo Investment Bank ('BESI'), include advisory services in project finance, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and consolidation of liabilities, preparation and public or private placement of shares, bonds and other fixed-income and equity instruments, stock broking and other investment banking services. In addition, the bank offers traditional banking services to corporate and institutional clients.

 

Banking Income at BESI reached EUR 246.9 million, a decline of 5.5% with the non-Portuguese business accounting for 59.0% of total business. Commercial banking income and capital markets (and other results) declined by 5.1% and 7.5% respectively. Pre-tax profits for the period fell to EUR 16.7 million as provisioning increased to EUR 59.9 million, a rise of 29.5% year-on-year. Operating costs declined by 2.3% year-on-year to EUR 171.6 million.

 

ESFG's consolidated international operations also include the Group's other directly owned banking operations

 

ESFG's Swiss private banking operations, Banque Privée Espírito Santo ('BPES'), reported a statutory net income of CHF 1.9 million under Swiss GAAP, down from CHF 4.8 million in the previous year. However, due to IFRS adjustments, the net contribution to ESFG's consolidated results fell to -CHF 11.4 million from CHF 6.2 million a year earlier. Total revenues however grew year-on-year by 8.0% to CHF 56.1 million. Increased provisioning weighed on net results. The strength of the Bank's commercial activity is reflected in Assets under Management (AuM) which now exceed CHF 5.5 billion, an increase of 14.5% YoY. Net new money rose by CHF 217.0 million from the beginning of the year. The positive performance in global markets in 2013 compensated for the continued strength of the Swiss Franc versus the Euro.

 

BPES strengthened its focus on wealth management in 2013 by acquiring the LATAM unit of Hyposwiss Privatbank AG. The Hyposwiss team joined BPES in a newly opened Zurich branch office during the last quarter of 2013. ESFG considers this to be an important step in BPES' development strategy of expanding operations within the European Union. The acquisition brought a further 700 clients to the Swiss banking operations. At Espírito Santo Wealth Management (Europe) S.A. (ES Wealth Management), controlled through BPES, AuM has reached EUR 243.0 million and was granted the authorization to begin operations in Spain with the first branch opened in Madrid.

 

Net Income at ES Bankers (Dubai) Limited ('ESBD'), wealth management operations, declined to USD 3.5 million from USD 7.3 million a year earlier, a decrease of 52.1% year-on-year. Banking income however remained stable at USD 16.3 million. The reduction in profitability reflects the Bank's new strategy and repositioning for the future. Personnel levels at the Bank have almost doubled in the past year. Fees and Commissions rose by over 16.5% when compared to 2012, from USD 10.1 million in FY12 to USD 12.1 million by FY13. Financial results at the Dubai bank fell to USD 4.2 million from USD 6.3 million in 2012. The Bank's lending to customers declined sharply as the Bank focuses on its core business. LtD ratio fell to 34.0% from 53.0% a year earlier.

 

ESBD closed the period with Total Equity of USD 40.9 million generating a ROE of 8.9%. Total assets increased to USD 410.3 million by the end of the year, a sharp increase from USD 254.6 million in 2012. AuM, focusing on high net worth individuals, rose by 21.3% year-on-year to USD 1.86 billion. The Bank has increased in private client accounts to 808 from 634 a year earlier.

 

Banking activity at Espírito Santo Bank of Panama ('ESBP') remains positive. Individual net income in 2013 fell to USD 18.5 million from USD 21.3 million in 2012, a decline of 13.6%. NII however rose by 9.5% to USD 20.7 million during the period. Fees and Commissions remained stable at USD 1.3 million in 2012 to USD 1.3 million in 2013. Banking Income remained relatively unchanged at USD 21.3 million. Staff costs and general administrative expenses rose as ESBP develops new business channels focusing on wealth management.

 

At Banque Espírito Santo et de la Vénétie ('BESV') (France) net income fell to EUR 7.1 million from EUR 9.6 in 2012 (which included non-recurrent items). Gross operating income rose by 26.9% however a 7.7% increase in operating costs weighed on results. The Bank's reorganisation programme, including the reform of commercial operations and the outsourcing of services. The French Bank's pre-tax profit for the period reached EUR 6.6 million.

 

On 14 February 2014 ESFG announced that it has sold its full 44.81% stake in BESV to BES (see point 4). BES remains with management control of the French banking operations.

 

Banco BEST, principally owned through BES but in which ESFG owned a 9.0% direct stake, reported a net individual full year net income of EUR 10.2 million, a rise of 21.0% year-on-year. The internet banking operation focuses on the provision of online trading and investment services. The Bank reported EUR 2.3 billion of Assets under Custody. On 2 April 2014, ESFG's remaining 9.0% stake in BEST was sold to BES. As of that date BES holds a direct stake of 75.0%.

[ Objects omitted ]

 

Tranquilidade Group and BES Vida

 

ESFG's insurance operations contributed positively to ESFG's full year results for 2013 despite continued economic difficulties in Portugal. In 2013, ESFG's consolidated operations remained the largest privately owned insurance group in Portugal with a consolidated market share, by premiums, of 19.2%, out-ranked only by the state insurer, and which compares favourably with the Group's market share in 2012 of 18.0%. ESFG's market share in the non-Life sector, through Tranquilidade Group and BES Seguros reached 10.6%. The combined market share in the Life business of T-Vida and BES Vida stood at 22.8%. Outside of Portugal ESFG's insurance operations are present in Spain, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

 

Tranquilidade acts as a holding company for ESFG's interests in T-Vida, LOGO, BES Seguros and other insurance subsidiaries. Tranquilidade's net individual income reached EUR 19.0 million, a year-on-year increase of 3.0%. Technical results, net of re-insurance, fell during the period by 7.5% to EUR 59.0 million. These results were affected by storms in the first quarter. Financial results stood at EUR 28.4 million in 2013, while operating costs stood at EUR 66.9 million. Tranquilidade's individual market share stood at 8.3%. Tranquilidade's market share in workers compensation, fire and other damage and motor stood at 10.8%, 8.3% and 8.4% respectively by year end 2013.

 

T-Vida reported an individual net income of EUR 4.3 million, a year-on-year decrease of 5.2%. Premiums at Tranquilidade's Life business increased by 24.7%.

 

BES Vida posted an individual net income of EUR 302.8 million (including the extraordinary gains of approximately EUR 150.0 million associated with the non-recurrent reinsurance transaction announced at the end of the first half of the year). BES Vida, a fully owned subsidiary of BES, posted strong premium growth of 37.9% year-on-year to EUR 2.00 billion on the back of increased unit-linked, savings and pension product growth. Claims saw a sharp decline of 31.7% year-on-year following BES' return to full management control and a sharp reduction in financial product redemptions, leading to a 24.2% increase in actuarial reserves which reached EUR 7.03 billion.

 

ESFG's assurfinance programme of cross-selling banking products through its agents accounted for 19.1% of new clients at BES in 2013 and represents 9.5% of the total increase in retail AuM. Tranquilidade's distribution network is made up of more than 1.700 points of sale, of which 35 are own branches and 173 tied agent stores.

 

5. INCOME ANALYSIS

 

5.1 Banking Income

 

Consolidated Net Interest Income (NII) declined by 13.7% year-on-year to EUR 1.09 billion from EUR 1.66 billion in 2012. The reduction in NII at BES was domestically driven and relates to the impact of the weak economic picture in Portugal and the volatility in interest rates. NII generated outside of Portugal, particularly in Angola, saw a 31.8% year-on-year increase to EUR 470.9 million. Interest earning business remains unchanged, when compared to a year earlier at close to EUR 68.6 billion with loans to customers focusing primarily on the corporate sector with loans to individuals continuing to shrink through lower demand and amortisation of mortgage loans. The average rate of interest on financial assets fell (-37 bps) but exceeded the decrease in the average rate of liabilities paid (-18 bps). Net Interest Margin (NIM) therefore fell by 19 bps year-on-year from 1.70% to 1.51%.

 

BES' customer loans decreased by EUR 677.0 million which included a 4.1% decrease in mortgage loans. Loans to exporting SMEs however grew by 4.3%, accelerating in the last quarter of the year.

 

In 2013, BES was able to issue over EUR 750.0 million of subordinated debt into the wholesale markets, paving the way for other financial Portuguese banks. Redemptions of outstanding wholesale debt stood at EUR 1.60 billion in the period. The average debt redemption rate in the past three years stood at EUR 3.1 billion per annum, and in 2014 BES expects to redeem EUR 2.2 billion. At year-end 2013, BES' net use of ECB funding fell to EUR 5.4 billion from a high of EUR 13.7 billion in June 2012, a decline of close to 60.0%.

 

Consolidated Fees and Commissions (Net of Expenses) declined by 14.9% year-on-year to EUR 723.1 million in 2013 from EUR 849.6 million in 2012. Results include fees generated by BES as well as from asset management and securities related fees from the private banking operations directly owned by ESFG namely Banque Privée Espírito Santo and ES Bankers (Dubai). Fees relating to Asset Management grew across the three banks with BES AM fees rising by 2.0% year-on-year to EUR 87.9 million. BES saw strong growth in fees on documentary credit which rose by 20.7% to EUR 105.1 million in 2013. Commissions on securities increased by 1.2% year-on-year to EUR 74.3 million. When excluding the cost of government-guaranteed bonds issued by BES and other non-recurrent fees, guaranteed by the Republic of Portugal, fees and commissions fell by 6.1% year-on-year.

 

Fees and commissions linked to corporate business, namely financings (collections and loans), project finance and documentary credits declined however, reflecting the economic conditions as well as the Group's deleveraging programme. Commission income from credit cards and account management (commissions on current accounts, transfers, and payment orders) were also impacted by the current austerity policies. Commissions on Bancassurance activity declined year-on-year, though quarterly improvements were noted.

 

Consolidated Capital Markets totalled EUR 86.9 million in 2013 from EUR 849.6 million reported in 2012. Capital market results reflect the consolidated trading activity, of primarily BES. BES' exposure, by the end of 2013 to both Portuguese and Spanish sovereign debt, and to a smaller extent Italy, reached EUR 4.30 billion. 36.0% of sovereign exposure was in T-bills and a further 11.0% in debt of between 1 and 5 years; this reflects the well-considered duration profile of the Bank's asset allocation. The Bank's sovereign portfolio contributed positively to capital markets' results but at a diminished rate when compared against 2012, which saw significant rate reduction in peripheral sovereign debt.

 

5.2 Insurance Income

 

Income generated from the Group's insurance operations are consolidated from both ESFG's fully owned Companhia de Seguros Tranquilidade, S.A. (Tranquilidade) operations and through BES' recent, fully acquired, consolidation of its life business; BES Vida, Companhia de Seguros (BES Vida). By the end of the reporting period, ESFG's consolidated life and non-life operations remained the largest privately owned insurance group in Portugal with a combined market share of 19.2%.

 

Consolidated Insurance Earned Premiums (Net of Reinsurance) rose by 70.4% to EUR 694.7 million in 2013 from EUR 407.6 million a year earlier. Consolidated Claims Incurred (Net of Reinsurance) decreased by 23.5% to EUR 483.2 million from EUR 631.9 million at year-end 2012. Results include the full consolidation of both ESFG's direct investments in Tranquilidade and the BES bancassuranace businesses.

 

At Tranquilidade2 insurance earned premiums (net of reinsurance) declined by 4.8% year-on-year to EUR 279.2 million from EUR 293.2 million a year earlier. Claims at Tranquilidadeand changes on technical reserves and commissions reached EUR 285.4 million, compared to EUR 294.9 million in 2012, a decrease of 3.2%.The combined ratio at Tranquilidade rose from 94.3% to 95.2%. The expense ratio stood at 30.9%. The marginal increase in the combined ratio is explained by the fall in premiums by 1.0%. Tranquilidade, which acts as a holding company for ESFG's interests in T-Vida, LOGO, BES Seguros and others, reported continued geographical growth as operations began in Mozambique and Angola in 2012.

 

Tranquilidade's net individual income reached EUR 19.0 million, a year-on-year increase of 3.0%. Technical results net of reinsurance fell during the period by 7.0% to EUR 59.2 million. These results were affected by the storms that affected Portugal in the first quarter 2013. Financial results reached EUR 28.3 million in 2013. Operating costs stood at EUR 66.9 million. Tranquilidade's individual market share stood at 8.3%. During 2013 Tranquilidade's market share in workers' compensation, fire and other damages and motor stood at 10.8%, 8.3% and 8.4% respectively.

 

T-Vida reported an individual net income of EUR 4.3 million, a year-on-year decrease of 5.2%. Premiums however increased by 24.7%. Risk products continue to be the main focus for ESFG's insurance operations in its Life business though the largest growth was in PPR's products (retirement savings plans). The technical margin increased by 5.6%, (from EUR 5.8 million to EUR 6.2 million), mainly due to an increase in premiums. Operating costs increased by 5.6% year-on-year to EUR 6.1 million.

 

2 Tranquilidade Group, excluding BES insurance operations

 

ESFG's Angolan and Mozambican insurance operations, through Tranquilidade, which began in 2012, report individual results of breakeven and -EUR 0.9 million respectively but are expected to contribute positively to full year results in 2014.

 

Tranquilidade's direct insurance business, LOGO, reported that its customer base had reached 116,335 clients and that gross written premiums of amounted to EUR 19.8 million. LOGO is currently the third largest direct insurer in Portugal. The motor claims ratio at LOGO decreased by 5.7 p.p. from 79.7% to 74.0%.

 

At BES Vida, fully owned by BES, results were positively influenced by the reinsurance of its life risk portfolio under which all the inherent risks were transferred though BES Vida maintained the management of the contracts and the relations with clients. The operation contributed approximately EUR 150.0 million to the Company's individual results of EUR 302.8 million by year end 2013. Results were strengthened by an increase in insurance production, which reached EUR 2.0 billion in premium volume, a 40.9% increase year-on-year. Unit-linked products and pension plans saw strong growth while claims' volume fell sharply (-31.7%) as financial products' redemption volume declined. The overall effect was 24.9% increase in actuarial reserves to EUR 7.10 billion.

 

AdvanceCare, ESFG's managed care platform for healthcare insurers provides the link between the Company's insurance operations and healthcare providers, serving a total of 918,371 members. The care manager continues to provide strong results, in the period ending 2013 its net individual income stabilized at EUR 2.2 million from EUR 2.3 million a year earlier. AdvanceCare is a joint venture between Tranquilidade and United Health Group. In 2013 the managed care company is estimated to have handled one third of healthcare claims made through all insurance companies in Portugal. Tranquilidade maintains management control.

 

Tranquilidade's assistance service provider, Europ-Assistance (Portugal), jointly held with Europ Assistance Holding (France) reported a 44.4% increase in individual results to EUR 4.0 million by year end 2013 from EUR 2.8 million a year earlier. Tranquilidade has a 47.0% economic stake in the operations.

 

5.3 Other Income

 

Consolidated Net Other Operating Income decreased to EUR 74.8 million from EUR 458.9 million following non recurrent gains at BES in 2012 and the deconsolidation of ESFG's healthcare operations following ESFG's decision to relinquish control.

 

On 12 February 2014 Espírito Santo Saúde (ESS) began trading on the NYSE Euronext exchange following a successful IPO launched on 6 February 2014. Following the completion of the IPO of Espírito Santo Saúde, SGPS, S.A. ('ESS') and the exercise of the over-allotment option on 13 March 2014 in respect of 2,881,113 ESS shares, ESFG announces that it has sold a total of 10,158,770 shares (10.62% of the existing ESS share capital), corresponding to gross proceeds to ESFG of EUR 32.5 million.

 

Subsequently ESFG announces that it remains the holder of a 3.38% direct stake in the healthcare company. Management control is held by Espírito Santo Health Care Investments (ESHCI) which holds a stake of 51.0%. As of that date, ESFG holds a 17.7% stake in ESHCI. ESFG's, direct and indirect, economic stake in ESS is 12.42%.

 

Dividend Income declined to EUR 58.4 million from EUR 73.2 million in 2012 as payments remain constrained reflecting the current macroeconomic picture in the Eurozone, reduced dividend policies and the reduction in certain equity investments at BES.

 

6. COST ANALYSIS

 

6.1 Operating Expenses

 

Consolidated Operating Expenses for the period ending the 31 December 2013 rose by 27.6% to EUR 4.11 billion from EUR 3.22 billion a year earlier. The significant rise relates to Depreciation, Provisioning and Impairments both at BES and at ESFG.

 

Consolidated Staff Costs and General Administrative Expenses fell by 5.5% to EUR 1.21 billion from EUR 1.28 billion in 2012. The decline was helped by a 10.9% fall in staff costs resulted from ESFG Group's strict control over variable salaries in Portugal. International staff costs at BES however rose by 4.9% year-on-year as the Bank focuses on the reorganisation of its Angolan operations. The Bank's staff costs in Portugal fell by 3.8% year-on-year.

 

General administration expenses at ESFG rose by 3.0% as costs, relating to further international growth, rose. BES has implemented a EUR 100.0 million cost-cutting plan to be executed between 2013 and 2015. The Bank's cost reduction, including employment and running costs (such as IT and advertising) is aligned with cost-cutting programmes of ESFG's other subsidiaries. Retail banking at BES is supported by a domestic branch network of 643 branches in Portugal and a net reduction of 23 branches since the beginning of the year. The branch network includes 44 on-site branches in partnership with insurance agents under the Group's assurfinance programme. The streamlining process permitted a 6.5% reduction in operating costs at the Bank.

 

Consolidated Costs due to Depreciation, Provisioning and Impairments rose by 69.9% year-on-year to EUR 2.25 billion from EUR 1.33 billion in 2012. Despite improved economic conditions in ESFG's principal market, Portugal, the balance of provisions for credit registered on the balance sheet at BES has increased to EUR 3.39 billion by the end of 2013, a year-on-year rise of 25.8% with the credit provisions/gross customer loans ratio rising to 6.8% (5.2% in FY12).

 

Impairments costs at BES rose by 18.6% or EUR 1.42 billion in the period, the principal impairments being set against credit and foreclosures on real-estate, with EUR 104.1 million being set against securities. BES' provisions charge rose by 40bps to 2.02% ESFG considers that the actions taken by BES, through their strong provisioning effort, represent a conservative approach to the current environment.

 

6.2 Extraordinary Provisioning and Guarantee

 

Further to BES provisioning, ESFG's 2013 results include a EUR 700.0 million extraordinary provision which relates to the potential risks that may arise from the fact that some of ESFG Group's retail clients are exposed, through debt issuance, to Espírito Santo International ('ESI'). The provision was finalised after extensive discussions with the regulator and is in accordance with the results of ETRICC (transversal revision of impairments on credit portfolios). As part of the same process it was agreed between the Company and the regulator to provide a EUR 700.0 million guarantee to ensure the timely reimbursement of the commercial paper issued by ESI placed with ESFG Group retail clients.

 

The outstanding amount of commercial paper held by BES retail clients has fallen to less than EUR 500.0 million as of 28 April 2014. The reduction has been achieved through the ongoing deleverage and re-organisation plan at ESI. Final reimbursements to BES retail investors are expected to be concluded in early December 2014. ESFG remains committed in its support of its subsidiaries through the provision of the guarantee.

 

Other Expenses fell year-on-year by 43.0% to EUR 160.0 million from EUR 277.0 million at the end of 2012.

 

7. SOLVENCY AND LIQUIDITY

 

7.1 Solvency

 

ESFG is approved by the Bank of Portugal to use the Internal Ratings Based ('IRB') method for calculating minimum core capital requirements to cover credit risk. The authorisation covers ESFG and its subsidiaries, BES and BESI and their respective subsidiaries. ESFG provides information on regulatory capital and capital ratios under the BIS (IRB) II regulations. ESFG is authorised to use the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach for credit risk and Standardised Approach - TSA method for operational risk, since the first quarter of 2009.

 

ESFG's capital ratios under Basel II at the end of the reporting period are estimated at: Core Tier 1: 9.2%, Tier 1: 9.0% and Total Solvency: 10.9%. Under the EBA method, ESFG's Core Tier 1 ratio stood at 8.5%. ESFG's solvency position was weakened by its consolidation of the Bank's results and extraordinary provisioning charges at ESFG relating to the guarantee provided by ESFG and which reflects the current exposure to certain non-financial assets of Group Espírito Santo ('GES'). The nature of the provision is that certain risks exist but are not certain to happen. There has been no cash effect on ESFG at this time.

 

Fig. III

 
Solvency (Basel II IRB Foundation)     FY11      FY12      FY13 
Core Tier I                            8.3%      10.1%     9.2% 
Core Tier I (EBA)                      -         9.6%      8.4%

RWA (EUR million)                      66,966    65,063    60,603 
 
 

Under BIS III (CRD IV/CRR) which will be in force as from 1 January 2014, the Common Equity Tier I ratio, considering the effect of the provision and employing the transitional provisions is 8.5%, or 8.8% considering the waiver of Article 84 (5) and the eligibility of the minority interests in BESPAR. This result is above the Bank of Portugal's requirement (minimum of 7.0%).

 

The EUR 700.0 million provision impacted negatively on ESFG's core capital position. As a financial holding company, and regulated entity, ESFG will continue to work with its regulator to improve on its consolidated solvency position through its focus on its principal banking assets. Banco Espírito Santo's capital position remains unaffected by ESFG's decision to include the provision in the full year's accounts.

 

The capital increase at BES Angola, the BES Vida reinsurance of its individual life risk portfolio, a sale of a large part of the Bank's stake in EDP and other measures reinforces BES' capital position. The Bank was also able to improve on its total solvency position by issuing a benchmark Tier II subordinated debt instrument. Though not incorporated into the Bank's capital structure BES Angola received a Sovereign guarantee from the Republic of Angola as part of the republics medium Term National Development Plan for 2013 until 2017.

 

BES Solvency

 

The Bank's Core Tier I ratio improved to 10.6%, exceeding the Bank of Portugal's requirement (minimum of 10%); under the EBA calculation method, the Core Tier I ratio is 9.8%, also above the minimum 9.0% established by the European Banking Authority. Under the BIS III, which began in January 2014, the Bank estimates its CET I at 10.1% (8.1% fully implemented, excluding DTA). Under BIS II, RWA's at BES fell by EUR 4.35 billion from the beginning of the year to EUR 57.33 billion.

 

7.2 Basel III

 

In the context of the Basel III prudential framework, the European Parliament and the Council approved Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 and Directive 2013/36/EU which establish the applicable prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms in the European Union.

 

Within the scope of the Programme of Economic and Financial Assistance to Portugal, a set of rules to be observed by the Portuguese banks were agreed with the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund and laid down in Bank of Portugal's Notice 6/2013, of 30 December, namely establishing the following:

 
 
    -- A minimum common equity Tier I of 7.0%; 
 
    -- The coefficients and percentages to be used for the calculation of own 

funds during the transitory periods including:

7.3 Liquidity - External Debt

 

ESFG's external debt at the end of the period rose by EUR 59.6 million year-on-year to EUR 780.2 million (falling from a high of EUR 1.3 billion in late 2011). ESFG continues to reduce interest costs through liability management in recognition of reduced dividend income from its subsidiaries.

 

On 25 November, ESFG announced the launch of EUR 200 million bonds, exchangeable into BES. The coupon was set at 3.125% and matures in December 2018. The proceeds were used to repurchase EUR 135.6 million of an outstanding convertible into ESFG shares.

 

ESFG's EMTN and ECP programmes provides, and guarantees, the establishment of liquidity to its fully owned subsidiary Espírito Santo Financière (ESFIL). In 2013, ESFIL launched and priced the sole senior EUR 200 million two-year note from the EUR 2.0 billion EMTN programme. At year-end 2013, ESFIL had utilised EUR 174.5 million of the EUR 1.0 billion ECP programme.

 

7.4 Credit Rating

 

ESFG is rated by two international rating agencies; DBRS and Moody's. The ratings are:
