2. Main Accounting Criteria Used:

 

(a) Legal Dispositions:

 

Decree Law No. 3,538 of 1980, according to the text replaced by the first article of Law No. 21,000 that “Creates the Commission for the Financial Market”, provides in numeral 6 of its article 5 that the Commission for the Market Financial (“CMF”) may “set the standards for the preparation and presentation of reports, balance sheets, statements of situation and other financial statements of the audited entities and determine the principles under which they must keep their accounting”.

 

According to the current legal framework, banks must use the accounting principles provided by the CMF and in everything that is not dealt with by it or in contravention of its instructions, they must adhere to the generally accepted accounting principles, which correspond to the technical standards issued by the College of Accountants of Chile AG, coinciding with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) agreed by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). If there are discrepancies between these accounting principles of general acceptance and the accounting criteria issued by the CMF, the latter shall prevail.

 

The notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements contain additional information to that presented in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Interim Consolidated Statement of Income, Interim Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, Interim Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. They provide narrative descriptions or disaggregation of such statements in a clear, relevant, reliable and comparable way.

 

(b) Basis of Consolidation:

 

The Interim Financial Statements of Banco de Chile as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been consolidated with its Chilean subsidiaries and foreign subsidiary, using the global integration method (line-by-line).

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(e) Financial Assets:

 

The classification, measurement and presentation of financial assets has been carried out based on the standards issued by the CMF in the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks (CASB), considering the criteria described below:

 

Classification of financial assets:

 

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified within the following categories: Financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss; Financial assets not held for trading mandatorily valued at fair value through profit or loss; Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss; Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and Financial assets at amortized cost.

 

The criteria for classifying financial assets, which incorporates the standards defined in IFRS 9, depends on the business model with which the entity manages the assets and the contractual characteristics of the cash flows, commonly known as “Solely Payments of Principal and Interest” (SPPI) criterion.

 

The valuation of these assets should reflect how the Bank manages groups of financial assets and does not depend on the intent for an individual instrument.

 

A financial asset should be valued at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

 

- It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and

 

- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

 

A debt financial instrument must be valued at fair value with changes in “Other comprehensive income” if the following two conditions are met:

 

- It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and

 

- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

A debt financial instrument will be classified at fair value through profit or loss whenever, due to the business model or the characteristics of its contractual cash flows, it is not appropriate to classify it in any of the other categories described.

 

13


 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

Valuation of financial assets:

 

Initial recognition:

 

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset that is not carried at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to its purchase or issuance, using the Effective Interest Rate method (EIT). The calculation of the EIT includes all fees and other items paid or received that are part of the EIT. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of a financial asset.

 

Post measurement:

 

All variations in the value of financial assets due to the accrual of interest and items assimilated to interest are recorded in “Interest income” or “Interest expense” of the Consolidated Income Statement for the year in which the accrual occurred, except for trading derivatives that are not part of accounting hedges.

 

The changes in the valuations that occur after the initial registration for reasons other than those mentioned in the previous paragraph, are treated as described below, based on the categories in which the financial assets are classified.

 

Financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss, Financial assets not held for trading mandatorily valued at fair value through profit or loss and Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss:

 

In “Financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss” will record financial assets whose business model aims to generate profits through purchases and sales or to generate results in the short term.

 

The financial assets recorded under “Financial assets not held for trading mandatorily valued at fair value through profit or loss” are assigned to a business model whose objective is achieved by obtaining contractual cash flows and/or selling financial assets but where the cash flows contracts have not met the conditions of the SPPI test.

 

In “Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss” financial assets will be classified only when such designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistency in the valuation or in the recognition that would arise from valuing or recognizing the assets on a different basis.

 

The assets recorded in these items are valued after their acquisition at their fair value and changes in their value are recorded, at their net amount, under “Financial assets and liabilities held for trading”, “Financial assets and liabilities financial assets not held for trading mandatorily valued at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets and liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss” of the Consolidated Income Statement. Variations originated from exchange differences are recorded under “Foreign currency changes, UF indexation and accounting hedge” in the Consolidated Income Statement.

 

14


 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

 

Debt financial instruments:

 

The assets recorded in this item are valued at their fair value, interest income and UF indexation of these instruments, as well as exchange differences and impairment arising, are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income, while subsequent variations in their valuation are temporarily recorded (for its amount net of taxes) in “Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” of the Consolidated Statements of Other Comprehensive Income.

 

The amounts recorded in “Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” continue to form part of the Bank’s consolidated equity until the asset is derecognized in the consolidated balance. In the case of selling these assets, the result is recognized in “Financial result for derecognizing financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value with changes in others comprehensive income” of the Consolidated Income Statement.

 

Net losses due to impairment of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income produced in the year are recorded in “Impairment due to credit risk of other financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” of the Consolidated Income Statement.

 

Equity financial instruments:

 

At the time of initial recognition, the Bank may make the irrevocable decision to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Subsequent variations in this valuation will be recognized in “Changes in the fair value of equity instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income”. The dividends received from these investments are recorded in “Income from investments in companies” of the Consolidated Income Statement. These instruments are not subject to the impairment model of IFRS 9.

 

Financial assets at amortized cost:

 

The assets recorded in this item of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are valued after their acquisition at their “amortized cost”, in accordance with the “effective interest rate” method. They are subdivided according to the following:

 

- Investment under resale agreements and securities loans (Note No. 13 (a)).

 

- Debt financial instruments (Note No. 13 (b)).

 

- Due from banks (Note No. 13 (c)).

 

- Loans and accounts receivable from customers (Note No. 13 (d)).

 

Losses due to impairment of these assets generated in each year are recorded in “Provisions for credit risk and loans and accounts receivable from customers” and “Impairment due to credit risk of other financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” of the Consolidated Income Statement.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

Investment under resale agreements, obligations under repurchase agreements and securities loans:

 

Resale agreement operations are carried out as a form of investment. Under these agreements, financial instruments are purchased, which are included as assets in “Investment under resale agreements and securities loans”, which are valued according to the interest rate of the agreement through the amortized cost method. In accordance with current regulations, the Bank does not record as its own portfolio those papers purchased under resale agreements.

 

Repurchase agreement operations are also carried out as a form of financing, which are included as liabilities in “Obligations for repurchase agreements and securities loans”. In this regard, the investments that are sold subject to a repurchase obligation and that serve as collateral for the loan correspond to debt financial instruments. The obligation to repurchase the investment is classified in liabilities as “Obligations under repurchase agreements and securities loans” and is valued according to the interest rate of the agreement.

 

Debt financial instruments at amortized cost:

 

These instruments are recorded at their cost value plus accrued interest and UF indexation, less provision for impairment constituted when their recorded amount is greater than the estimated amount of recovery. Interest and UF indexation of debt financial instrument at amortized cost are included in “Interest income” and “UF indexation income”.

 

Loans and Advances to Banks:

 

This item shows the balances of operations with local and abroad banks, including the Central Bank of Chile and foreign Central Banks.

 

Loans and accounts receivable from customers:

 

Loans to customers include originated and purchased non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and which the Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in the short term.

 

(i) Valuation method

 

They are initially measured at cost plus incremental transaction costs and income, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss, except when the Bank defined some loans as hedged items, measured at fair value through profit or loss as described in letter (p) of this note.

 

(ii) Lease contracts

 

These are included under the item “Loans to customers” correspond to periodic rent installments of contracts which meet the definition to be classified as financial leases and are presented at their nominal value net of unearned interest as of each year-end.

(iii) Factoring transactions

 

They are valued for the amounts disbursed by the Bank in exchange for invoices or other commercial instruments representative of credit, with or without responsibility of the grantor, received in discount. Price differences between the amounts disbursed and the nominal value of the credits are recorded in the result as interest income, through the effective interest method, during the financing period. In those cases, where the transfer of these instruments it was made without responsibility of the grantor, it is the Bank who assumes the insolvency risks of those required to pay.

 

(f) Credit risk allowance

 

The Bank permanently evaluates the entire portfolio of loans and contingent loans, with the aim of establishing the necessary and sufficient provisions in a timely manner to cover the expected losses associated with the characteristics of the debtors and their credits, based on the payment and subsequent recovery.

 

Allowances are required to cover the risk of loan losses have been established in accordance with the instructions issued by the CMF. The loans are presented net of those allowances and, in the case of contingent loans are shown in liabilities under the item “Special provisions for credit risk”.

 

In accordance with what is stipulated by the CMF, models or methods are used based on an individual and group analysis of debtors, to establish allowance for loan losses. The Bank’s Board of Directors approves said models, as well as modifications to their design and application.

 

(i) Allowance for individual evaluations:

 

An individual analysis of debtors is applied to companies that are of such significance with respect to size, complexity or level of exposure to the bank, that they must be analyzed in detail.

 

Likewise, the analysis of borrowers focuses on its credit quality related to the capacity and willingness to meet their credit obligations, through sufficient and reliable information, and should also be analyzed in terms of guarantees, terms, interest rates, currency and revaluation, etc.

 

For purposes of establish the allowances, the banks must assess the credit quality, then classify to one of three categories of loans portfolio: Normal, Substandard and Non-Complying Loans, it must classify the debtors and their operations related to loans and contingent loans in the categories that apply.

 

17


 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

Normal Loans and Substandard Loans:

 

Normal loans: includes those debtors whose payment capacity allows them to meet their obligations and commitments, and according to the evaluation of their economic-financial situation no change in this condition are displayed. Loans classified in categories A1 through A6.

 

Substandard loans: includes all borrowers with insufficient payment capacity or significant deterioration of payment capacity that may be reasonably expected not to comply with all principal and interest payments obligations set forth in the credit agreement, showing a low flexibility to meet its financial obligations in the short term.

 

They are also part of the Substandard Portfolio those debtors who have shown arrears of more than 30 days in the recent past. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories B1 to B4 of the rating scale.

 

As a result of individual analysis of the debtors, the Bank must classify them in the following categories, assigning, subsequently, the percentage of probability of default and loss given default resulting in the following percentage of expected loss:

 

Type of portfolio   Category of
the debtors
  Probability of
default (%)
PD
    Loss given
default (%)
LGD
    Expected
loss (%)
EL
 
Normal Loans   A1     0.04       90.0       0.03600  
    A2     0.10       82.5       0.08250  
  A3     0.25       87.5       0.21875  
    A4     2.00       87.5       1.75000  
    A5     4.75       90.0       4.27500  
    A6     10.00       90.0       9.00000  
Substandard Loans   B1     15.00       92.5       13.87500  
  B2     22.00       92.5       20.35000  
    B3     33.00       97.5       32.17500  
    B4     45.00       97.5       43.87500  

 

Allowances for Normal and Substandard Loans:

 

To determine the amount of allowances to be constitute for normal and substandard portfolio, previously should be estimated the exposure to subject to the allowances, which will be applied to respective expected loss, which consist of probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) established for the category in which the debtor and/or guarantor belong, as appropriate.

 

The exposure affects to allowances applicable to loans plus contingent loans minus the amounts to be recovered by way of the foreclosure of financial or real guarantees of the operations. Loans mean the book value of credit of the respective debtor, while for contingent loans, the value resulting from to apply the indicated in No. 3 of Chapter B-3 of the CASB.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

In the case of real guarantees, the Bank must demonstrate that the value assigned to this deduction reasonably reflects the value that it would obtain in the sale of the assets or capital instruments. Also, in qualified cases, the direct debtor’s credit risk may be substituted for the credit quality of the guarantor. In no case may the guaranteed securities be discounted from the amount of the exposure, since this procedure is only applicable when it comes to financial or real guarantees.

 

For calculation purposes, the following must be considered:

 

Provision debtor = (ESA-GE) x (PDdebtor /100) x (LGDdebtor /100) + GE x (PDguarantor /100) x (LGDguarantor /100)

 

Where:

 

ESA = Exposure subject to allowances, (Loans + Contingent Loans) – Financial Guarantees

 

GE = Guaranteed exposure

 

However, the Bank must maintain a minimum provision level of 0.50% over normal portfolio and contingent loans.

 

Non-complying Loans:

 

The non-complying portfolio includes the debtors and their credits for which their recovery is considered remote, as they show an impaired or no payment capacity. This category comprises all debtors who have stopped paying their creditors or with visible evidence that they will stop doing so, as well as those for which a forced restructuring of their debts is necessary, reducing the obligation or postponing the payment of the principal or interest and, in addition, any debtor that has 90 days overdue or more in the payment of interest or principal of any credit. This portfolio is composed of the debtors belonging to categories C1 to C6 of the rating scale and all credits, including 100% of the amount of contingent loans, held by those same debtors.

 

For purposes to establish the allowances on the non-complying loans, the Bank disposes the use of percentage of allowances to be applied on the amount of exposure, which corresponds to the amount of loans and contingent loans that maintain the same debtor. To apply that percentage, must be estimated an expected loss rate, less the amount of the exposure the recoveries by way of foreclosure of financial or real guarantees that to support the operation and, if there are available specific background, also must be deducting present value of recoveries obtainable exerting collection actions, net of expenses associated with them. This loss percentage must be categorized in one of the six levels defined by the range of expected actual losses by the Bank for all transactions of the same debtor.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

These categories, their range of loss as estimated by the Bank and the percentages of allowance that must be applied on the amount of exposures, are listed in the following table:

 

Type of portfolio   Scale of risk   Expected Loss Range   Allowance (%)  
Non-complying loans   C1   Up to 3%     2  
    C2   More than 3% up to 20%     10  
    C3   More than 20% up to 30%     25  
    C4   More than 30 % up to 50%     40  
    C5   More than 50% up to 80%     65  
    C6   More than 80%     90  

 

For calculation purposes, the following must be considered:

 

Expected Loss Rate = (E−R)/E

 

Allowance = E × (AP/100)

 

Where:

 

E = Exposure Amount

 

R = Recoverable Amount

 

AP = Allowance Percentage (according to the category in which the Expected Loss Rate should be assigned).

 

All credits of the debtor must be kept in the Default Portfolio until there is a normalization of their ability or payment behavior, without prejudice to punishment of each particular credit that meets the condition indicated in Title II of Chapter B-2 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks. To remove a debtor from the Default Portfolio, once the circumstances that lead to classification in this portfolio according to these regulations have been overcome, at least the following copulative conditions must be met:

 

- No obligation of the debtor with the bank with more than 30 calendar days overdue.

 

- No new refinances granted to pay its obligations.

 

- At least one of the payments includes amortization of capital.

 

- If the debtor has a credit with partial payment periods less than six months, has already made two payments.

 

- If the debtor must pay monthly fees for one or more credits, has paid four consecutive dues.

 

- The debtor does not have direct debts unpaid in the CMF recast information, except in the case of insignificant amounts.

 

(ii) Allowances for group evaluations

 

Group evaluations are relevant for residential mortgage and consumer loan exposures, in addition to commercial exposures related to student loans and exposures with debtors that simultaneously meet the following conditions:

 

- The Bank has an aggregate exposure to the same counterparty of less than 20,000 UF. The aggregate exposure should require gross provisions or other mitigations. In addition, for its computation, mortgage loans must be excluded. In the case of off-balance sheet items, the gross amount is calculated by applying the credit conversion factors, defined in chapter B-3 of the CASB. To determine the aggregate exposure, the bank must consider the definition of corporate group established in Title II of Chapter 12-16 of the Actualized Standards Compilation.

 

Banks must carry out a complete and permanent monitoring of all operations with entities belonging to business groups. Considering the costs that may result the conformation of groups for all debtors, the bank must at least keep control and form groups, if applicable, for all debtors who maintain a current exposure greater than a minimum amount established by the banking institution which may not be greater than 1% of its effective equity at the time the definition of the group portfolio is made.

 

20


 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

- Each aggregate exposure to the same counterparty does not exceed 0.2% of the total commercial group portfolio. To avoid circular computation, the criterion will be checked only once.

 

For the remaining commercial credit exposures, the individual analysis model of the debtors must be applied.

 

The determination of the type of analysis (group or individual) must be carried out at the global consolidated level, once a year, or after significant adjustments in the Bank’s portfolio, such as mergers, acquisitions, purchases or significant portfolio sales.

 

To determine the allowances, the group evaluations require the formation of groups of loans with similar characteristics in terms of type of debtors and conditions agreed, to establish technically based estimates by prudential criteria and following both the payment behavior of the group that concerned as recoveries of defaulted loans and consequently provide the necessary provisions to cover the risk of the portfolio.

 

To determine its provisions, the Bank segments its debtors into homogeneous groups, according described above, associating to each group a determined probability of default and a percentage of recovery based in a historic analysis. The amount of provisions to register it will be obtained multiplied the total loans of respective group by the percentages of estimated default and of loss given the default.

 

In the case of consumer loans, collaterals are not considered for the purpose of estimating the expected loss.

 

The Bank discriminates between provisions on the normal portfolio and on the portfolio in default, and those that protect the risks of contingent credits associated with those portfolios.

 

Standard method of provisions for group portfolio

 

The standard methodologies presented below establish the variables and parameters that determine the provision factor for each type of portfolio that the CMF has defined as representative, according to the common characteristics shared by the operations that comprise them.

Commercial Leasing Operations

 

The provision factor applies to the current value of commercial leasing operations (including the purchase option) and will depends on the default of each operation, the type of leased asset and the relationship between the current value of each operation and the leased asset value (PVB) at each month-end, as indicated in the following tables:

 

Probability of default (PD) applicable according to default and type of asset (%)
    Type of asset
Days of default of the operation at the month-end   Real estate   Non-real estate
0   0.79   1.61
1-29   7.94   12.02
30-59   28.76   40.88
60-89   58.76   69.38
Portfolio in default   100.00   100.00

 

Loss given the default (LGD) applicable according to PVB section and type of asset (%)
PVB = Current value of the operation / Value of the leased asset
PVB section   Real estate   Non-real estate
PVB ≤ 40%   0.05   18.20
40% < PVB ≤ 50%   0.05   57.00
50% < PVB ≤ 80%   5.10   68.40
80% < PVB ≤ 90%   23.20   75.10
PVB > 90%   36.20   78.90

 

The determination of the PVB relationship is made considering the appraisal value expressed in UF for real estate and in Chilean pesos for non-real estate, recorded at the time of the respective loan granting, taking into account possible situations that may be causing temporary increases in the assets prices at that time.

 

Generic commercial loans and factoring

 

For the factoring operations and other commercial loans, other than those indicated above, the provision factor, applicable to the amount of the placement and the exposure of the contingent loan risk, will depends on the default of each operation and the relationship that exists at the end of each month, between the obligations that the debtor has with the bank and the value of the collateral that protect them (PTVG), as indicated in the following tables:

 

Probability of default (PD) applicable according to default and PTVG section (%)

Without collateral   56.90   35.90

 

The collaterals used for the purposes of calculating the PTVG relationship of this method may be specific or general, including those that are simultaneously specific and general. Collateral can only be considered if, according to the respective coverage clauses, it was constituted in the first degree of preference in favor of the Bank and only guarantees the debtor’s credits with respect to which it is imputed (not shared with other debtors).

 

The invoices assigned in the factoring operations will not be considered for purposes of calculating the PTVG. The excess of collateral associated with mortgage loans referred to in numeral 3.1.1 Residential mortgage portfolio in Chapter B-1 of CASB may be considered, computed as the difference between 80% of the property’ commercial value, according to with the conditions set out in that framework, and the mortgage loan that guarantees.

 

For the calculation of the PTVG ratio, the following considerations must be taken into account:

 

i. Transactions with specific collaterals: when the debtor granted specific collateral for generic commercial loans and factoring, the PTVG ratio is calculated independently for each covered transaction, such as the division between the amount of the loans and the contingent loans exposure and the collateral’s value of the covered product.

 

ii. Transactions with general collaterals: when the debtor granted general or general and specific collaterals, the Bank calculates the respective PTVG, jointly for all generic commercial loans and factoring and not contemplated in the preceding paragraph i), as the quotient between the sum of the amounts of the loans and exposures of contingent loans and the general, or general and specific collateral that, according to the scope of the remaining coverage clauses, safeguard the loans considered in the numerator aforementioned coverage ratio.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

The amounts of the guarantees used in the PTVG ratio of numerals i) and ii), different from those associated with excess guarantees from mortgage loans to which the residential mortgage portfolio refers, must be determined according to:

 

- The last valuation of the collateral, be it appraisal or fair value, according to the type of real guarantee in question. For the determination of fair value, the criteria indicated in Chapter 7-12 (Fair Value of Financial Instruments) of the RAN should be considered.

 

- Possible situations that could be causing temporary increases in the values of the collaterals.

 

- Limitations on the amount of coverage established in their respective clauses.

 

Portfolio in default.

 

Includes all placements and 100% of the amount of the contingent loans, of the debtors that the closing of a month presents a delay equal to or greater than 90 days in the payment of the interest of the capital of any credit. It will also include debtors who are granted a credit to leave an operation that has more than 60 days of delay in their payment, as well as those debtors who were subject to forced restructuring or partial forgiveness of a debt.

 

They may exclude from the portfolio in default: a) mortgage loans for housing, which delinquent less than 90 days, unless the debtor has another loan of the same type with greater delinquency; and, b) credits for financing higher studies of Law No. 20,027, which do not yet present the non-compliance conditions indicated in Circular No. 3,454 of December 10, 2008.

 

All credits of the debtor must be kept in the Default Portfolio until there is a normalization of their ability or payment behavior, without prejudice to punishment of each particular credit that meets the condition indicated in Title II of Chapter B-2 of the CASB. To remove a debtor from the Default Portfolio, once the circumstances that lead to classification in this portfolio according to the present rules have been overcome, at least the following copulative conditions must be met:

 

- No obligation of the debtor with the bank with more than 30 calendar days overdue.

 

- No new refinances granted to pay its obligations.

 

- At least one of the payments includes amortization of capital.

 

- If the debtor has a credit with partial payment periods less than six months, has already made two payments.

 

- If the debtor must pay monthly fees for one or more credits, has paid four consecutive dues.

 

- The debtor does not appear with unpaid debts direct according to the information recast by CMF, except for insignificant amounts.

(iii) Provisions related to financing with FOGAPE COVID-19 guarantee.

 

On July 17, 2020, the CMF requested to determine specific provisions of the credits guaranteed by the FOGAPE COVID-19 guarantee, for which the expected losses were determined estimating the risk of each operation, without considering the substitution of credit quality of the guarantee, according to the corresponding individual or group analysis method, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter B-1 of the CASB. This procedure must be carried out in an aggregate manner, grouping all those operations to which the same deductible percentage is applicable.

 

The deductible is applied by the Fund Administrator, which must be borne by each financial institution and does not depend on each particular operation, but is determined based on the total of the balances guaranteed by the Fund, for each group of companies that have the same coverage, according to their net sales size.

 

(iv) Provisions related to financing with FOGAPE Reactivation guarantee.

 

To determine the provisions of the amounts guaranteed by the FOGAPE Reactivation, the Bank considers the substitution of the credit quality of the debtors for that of the FOGAPE, for all the types of financing indicated, up to the amount covered by the aforementioned guarantee. Naturally, the option to consider the risk attributable to FOGAPE may be made while said guarantee remains in force, without considering the capitalized interest, in accordance with the provisions of article 17 of the Fund Regulations.

 

Likewise, for the computation of the provisions of the amount not covered by the guarantee, corresponding to the debtors, the treatment must be differentiated according to the level of default of the refinanced credit and the grace period, which must consider the cumulative consecutive months grace period between the refinanced loan and other prior measures.

 

For this purpose, the following situations should be considered:

 

Refinancing with less than 60 days past due and less than 180 days of grace.

 

When the Bank grants the refinancing and is the current creditor, depending on the methodology used in accounting for provisions (standard or internal method) for the group portfolio, the computation of default and the expected loss parameters remain constant at the time to carry out the refinancing, as long as no payment is due.

 

In the case of debtors evaluated on an individual basis, their risk category is maintained at the time of rescheduling, which does not prevent them from being reclassified to the category that corresponds to them, in the event of a worsening of their payment capacity.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

Refinancing with past due between 60 and 89 days or grace periods greater than 180 days and less than 360 days.

 

The provisions established in the previous point apply, and at least one of the following conditions must also be met:

 

i. In its credit granting policies, the Bank considers at least the following aspects:

 

- A robust procedure for the categorization of viable debtors, which considers at least the sector and its solvency and liquidity situation.

 

- Efficient mechanisms for monitoring the debtor’s situation, with formally defined internal governance.

 

ii. Interest is charged in the months of grace, in accordance with the guidelines established in article 15 letter a) of the Regulation, or there is a demand for payment in another credit with the bank. In the latter case, if noncompliance is observed, the carry forward rules contained in numerals 2.2 and 3.2 of Chapter B-1 of the CASB must be considered, depending on whether it is a credit subject to individual or group evaluation, respectively.

 

Refinancing with grace periods greater than 360 days.

 

The Bank must apply the provisions established in Chapter B-1 of the CASB, considering the operation as a forced renegotiation and, therefore, apply the provisions that correspond to the portfolio in default.

 

(v) Impairment of loans

 

The impaired loans include the following assets, according to Chapter B-1 of the CASB of the CMF:

 

- In case of debtors subject to individual assessment, includes credits from “Non-complying loans” those classified in categories B3 and B4 of “Substandard loans”.

 

- Debtors subject to assessment group evaluation, the impaired portfolio includes all credits of the “Non-complying loans”.

(vi) Charge-offs

 

As a general rule, the charge-offs are produced when the contractual rights on cash flows end. In case of loans, even if the above does not happen, it will proceed to charge-offs the respective asset balances.

 

The charge-off refers to derecognition of the assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, related to the respective transaction and, therefore, the part that could not be past-due if a loan is payable in installments, or a lease.

 

Charge-offs of loans to customers

 

The charge-off must be to make using credit risk provisions constituted, whatever the cause for which the charge-off was produced.

 

Write-offs for loans to customers and accounts receivable, other than from leasing operations, should be made in the following circumstances, whichever occurs first:

 

- The Bank, based on all available information, concludes that will not obtain any cash flow of the credit recorded as an asset.

 

- When the debt without executive title expires 90 days after it was recorded in asset.

 

- At the expiration of the statute of limitations for actions to demand payment through an executive trial, or at the time of rejection or abandonment of the execution of the judgment by final court resolution.

 

- When past-due term of a transaction reaches the charge-off term disposed below:

 

Type of Loan   Term
Consumer loans - secured and unsecured   6 months
Other transactions - unsecured   24 months

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

Charge-offs of lease operations

 

These assets must be charge-offs against the following circumstances, whichever occurs first:

 

- The Bank concludes that there is no possibility of the rent recoveries and the value of the property cannot be considered for purposes of recovery of the contract, either because the lessee has not the asset, for the property’s conditions, for expenses that involve its recovery, transfer and maintenance, due to technological obsolescence or absence of a history of your location and current situation.

 

- When it complies the prescription term of actions to demand the payment through executory or upon rejection or abandonment of executory by court.

 

- When a contract has been in default reach the period of time indicated below:

 

Type of Loan   Term
Consumer leases   6 months
Other non-real estate lease transactions   12 months
Real estate leases (commercial or residential)   36 months

 

The term represents the time elapsed since the date on which payment of all or part of the obligation in default became due.

 

(vii) Written-off loans recoveries

 

Cash recoveries on charge-off loans including loans that were reacquired from the Central Bank of Chile are recorded directly in income in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as a reduction of the “Recoveries of written-off loans” item.

 

In the event of recoveries of assets, the income will be recognized in the results for the amount by which they are incorporated into the asset. The same criterion will be followed if the leased assets were recovered after the charge-off for a leasing operation, when such assets are incorporated into the asset.

 

Any renegotiation of a credit already written off does not give rise to income, as long as the operation remains to have an impaired quality; the actual payments received must be treated as recoveries of credits written off, as indicated above.

 

Therefore, renegotiated credit can be recorded as an asset only if it has not deteriorated quality; also recognizing revenue from activation must be recorded like recovery of loans.

 

The same criteria should apply in the case that was give credit to pay a charge-off loan.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(g) Impairment due to credit risk of Financial assets at amortized cost and Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):

 

In accordance with the established in Chapter A-2 of the CASB of the CMF, the impairment model of IFRS 9 will not be applied to loans in the category “Financial assets at amortized cost” (“Due from banks” and “Loans and accounts receivable from customers”), nor on “Contingent loans”, since the criteria for these instruments are defined in Chapters B-1 to B-3 of the CASB.

 

For the rest of the financial assets measured at Amortized Cost or FVOCI, the model on which impairment losses must be calculated corresponds to one of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) as established in IFRS 9.

 

Debt financial instruments whose subsequent valuation is at amortized cost or at FVOCI will be subject to impairment due to credit risk. On the contrary, those instruments at fair value through profit or loss do not require this measurement.

 

The measurement of impairment is carried out in accordance with a general impairment model that is based on the existence of 3 possible phases of the financial asset, the existence or not of a significant increase in credit risk and the condition of impairment. The 3 phases determine the amount of impairment that will be recognized as an expected credit loss, as well as the interest income that will be recorded at each reporting date. Each phase is listed below:

 

Phase 1: Incorporates financial assets whose credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. Expected credit losses are recognized to 12-month. Interest is recognized based on the gross amount on the balance sheet.

 

Phase 2: Incorporates financial assets whose credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. Expected credit losses are recognized throughout the life of the financial asset. Interest is recognized based on the gross amount on the balance sheet.

 

Phase 3: Incorporates impaired financial assets. Expected credit losses are recognized throughout the life of the financial asset. Interest is recognized based on the net amount (gross amount on the balance sheet less allowance for credit risk).

 

Impairment of debt financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

 

The Bank applies the value impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a value correction for losses to financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9. This value adjustment for losses is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The accumulated loss recognized in OCI is recycled in results when derecognizing the financial assets.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(h) Financial liabilities:

 

Classification of financial liabilities:

 

Financial liabilities are classified in the following categories:

 

- Financial liabilities at amortized cost;

 

- Financial liabilities held for trading at fair value through profit or loss: Financial instruments are recorded in this item when the Bank’s objective is to generate profits through purchases and sales with these instruments. This item includes financial derivative trading contracts that are liabilities, which will be measured subsequently at fair value.

 

- Financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss: The Bank has the option to irrevocably designate, at the time of initial recognition, a financial liability as measured at fair value through profit or loss if the application of this criterion eliminates or significantly reduces inconsistencies in the measurement or recognition, or if it is a group of financial liabilities, or a group of financial assets and liabilities, that is managed, and its performance evaluated, based on fair value in line with a risk management or investment strategy.

 

Valuation of financial liabilities:

 

Initial valuation:

 

They are initially recorded at fair value, less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the instruments.

 

Variations in the value of financial liabilities due to the accrual of interest, UF indexation and similar concepts are recorded under the headings “Interest expenses” and “UF indexation expenses” of the Consolidated Income Statement for the period in which the accrual occurred (see Note No. 30 and No. 31).

 

Subsequent valuation:

 

The changes in the valuations that will occur after the initial registration due to reasons other than those mentioned in the previous paragraph, are treated as described below, based on the categories in which the financial liabilities are classified

 

Financial liabilities at amortized cost:

 

The liabilities recorded in this item are valued after their acquisition at their amortized cost, which is determined in accordance with the effective interest rate method (EIR).

 

31


 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(i) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities:

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries derecognize a financial asset from its Statement of Financial Position, when the contractual rights to the cash flows of the financial asset have expired or when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset are transferred during a transaction in which all ownership risks and rewards of the financial asset are transferred. Any portion of transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Bank is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

 

When the Bank transfers a financial asset, it assesses to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. In this case:

 

If substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred, it is derecognized, and any rights or obligations created or retained upon transfer are recognized separately as assets or liabilities.

 

If substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the Bank continues to recognize it.

 

If substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are neither transferred nor retained, the Bank will determine if it has retained control of the financial asset. In this case:

 

- If the Bank has not retained control, the financial asset will be derecognized, and any rights or obligations created or retained upon transfer will be recognized separately as assets or liabilities.

 

- If the Bank has retained control, it will continue to recognize the financial asset in the Consolidated Financial Statement by an amount equal to its exposure to changes in value that can experience and recognize a financial liability associated to the transferred financial asset.

 

The Bank derecognizes a financial liability (or a portion thereof) from its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position if, and only if, it has extinguished or, in other words, when the obligation specified in the corresponding contract has been paid or settled or has expired.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(j) Compensation of financial assets and liabilities:

 

Financial assets and liabilities are subject to compensation, so that their net amount is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, when and only when the Bank has the right, legally enforceable, to offset the recognized amounts and intends to settle the net amount, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

Income and expenses are presented net only when permitted by accounting standards, or in the case of gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions such as the Bank’s trading and foreign exchange activity.

 

(k) Functional currency:

 

The items included in the Interim Financial Statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (functional currency). The functional and presentation currency of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile is the Chilean peso, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates, and also obeys the currency that influences the cost and income structure.

 

(l) Transactions in foreign currency:

 

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are considered to be in foreign currency and are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted using the exchange rate of the functional currency as of the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. All differences are recorded as a debit or credit to income.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank and its subsidiaries applied the exchange rate of accounting representation according to the standards issued by the CMF, for which the assets in dollars are shown at their equivalent value in Chilean pesos calculated using the following market exchange rate Ch$982.21 per US$1 (Ch$794.42 per US$1 as of March 31, 2023).

 

As of March 31, 2024, the amount of Ch$106,447 million corresponding to a net financial profit from exchange, indexation and accounting hedging of foreign currency (net loss of Ch$30,696 million as of March 31, 2023) shown in the Consolidated Statements of Income, includes the result from exchange operations, indexation and accounting hedges of foreign currency, including the conversion of assets and liabilities in foreign currency or indexed to the exchange rate.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(m) Operating Segments:

 

The Bank discloses information by segment in accordance with IFRS 8 (Note No. 6). The Bank’s operating segments are determined based on its different business units, considering the following:

 

- That it conducts business activities from which income is obtained and expenses are incurred (including income and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity).

 

- That its operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s highest decision-making authority for operating decisions, to decide about resource allocation for the segment and evaluate its performance; and

 

- For which separate financial information available.

 

(n) Statement of cash flows:

 

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows shows the changes in cash and cash equivalents derived from operating activities, investment and financing activities during the year. The indirect method has been used in the preparation of this statement of cash flows.

 

For the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements of Cash Flow, it is considered the following concepts:

 

- Cash and cash equivalents: corresponds to the item “Cash and deposits in banks”, plus (minus) the net balance corresponding to operations with liquidation in progress that are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, plus other cash equivalents such as investments in short-term debt financial instruments that meet the criteria to be considered “cash equivalents”, for which they must have an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of acquisition, be highly liquid, easily convertible into amounts known amounts of cash as of the date of the initial investment, and that the financial instruments are exposed to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

- Operating activities: corresponds to normal activities of the Bank, as well as other activities that cannot classify like investing or financing activities.

 

- Investing activities: correspond to the acquisition, sale or disposition other forms, of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

 

- Financing activities: corresponds to the activities that produce changes in the amount and composition of the equity and the liabilities that are not included in the operating or investing activities.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(o) Financial derivative contracts:

 

A “Financial Derivative” is a financial instrument whose value changes in response to changes in an observable market variable (such as an interest rate, exchange rate, the price of a financial instrument or a market index, including credit ratings), whose initial investment is very small in relation to other financial instruments with a similar response to changes in market conditions and which is generally settled at a future date.

 

The Bank maintains contracts of Derivative financial instruments, for cover the exposition of risk of foreign currency and interest rate. These contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their cost (included transactions costs) and subsequently measured at fair value. Derivative instruments are reported as an asset when their fair value is positive and as a liability when negative under the item “Derivative Instruments”.

 

Changes in fair value of derivative contracts held for trading purpose are included under “Financial Assets and Liabilities held for Trading”, on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

 

Additionally, the Bank includes in the valuation of the derivatives “Counterparty Credit Risk Adjustments, including: “CVA” or Credit Valuation Adjustment to reflect the counterparty credit risk in determining the fair value, as well as the “DVA” o Debit Valuation Adjustment to reflect the Bank’s own credit risk. Likewise, the Bank incorporates “Financing Adjustment”, also called “FVA” or Funding Valuation Adjustment, which captures the expected cost (or benefit) of financing (reinvesting) the cash flows of the derivative, with respect to a reference discount rate, when there are no collaterals (or they are imperfect).

 

Certain embedded derivatives in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their risk and characteristics are not closely related to those of the main contract and if the contract in its entirety is not recorded at its fair value with its unrealized gains and losses included in income.

 

(p) Financial derivative contracts for accounting hedges:

 

The Bank has chosen to continue applying the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 when adopting IFRS 9.

 

At the moment of subscription of a derivative contract must be designated by the Bank as a derivative instrument for trading or hedging purposes.

 

If a derivative instrument is classified as a hedging instrument, it can be:

 

- A hedge of the fair value of existing assets or liabilities or firm commitments, or;

 

- A hedge of cash flows related to existing assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions.

 

A hedge relationship for accounting hedges purposes must comply with all of the following conditions:

 

- at its inception, the hedge relationship has been formally documented;

 

- it is expected that the hedge will be highly effective;

 

- the effectiveness of the hedge can be measured in a reasonable manner; and

 

- the hedge is highly effective with respect to the hedged risk on an ongoing basis and throughout the entire hedge relationship.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

The Bank presents and measures individual hedges (where there is a specific identification of hedged item and hedged instruments) by classification, according to the following criteria:

 

Fair value hedges: Changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument, designated as a fair value hedge, are recognized in income under the lines “Net interest income” and “Net indexation income” and/or “Foreign currency changes, UF indexation and accounting hedge”, depending on the type of risk covered. The hedged item is also presented at fair value in relation to the risk being hedged; gains or losses attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in income under the lines “Net interest income” and “Net income from UF indexation” and adjust the book value of the item subject to the hedge.

 

Cash flow hedge: Changes in the fair value of financial instruments derivative designated like “cash flow hedge” are recognized in “Cash flow accounting hedge” included in the Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, to the extent that hedge is effective and hedge is reclassified to income in the item “Net interest income” and “Net income from UF indexation” and/or “Foreign currency changes, UF indexation and accounting hedge”, when hedged item affects the income of the Bank produced for the “interest rate risk” or “foreign exchange risk”, respectively. If the hedge is not effective, the changes in the fair value are recognized directly in the results of the year under the caption “Other financial result”.

 

If the hedged instruments do not comply with criteria of cash flow accounting hedges, it expires or is sold, it suspends or executed, this hedge must be discontinued prospectively. Accumulated gains or losses recognized previously in the equity are maintained there until projected transactions occur, in that moment will be registered in Consolidated Statement of Income (in the item “Net interest income” and “Net income from UF indexation” and/or “Foreign currency changes, UF indexation and accounting hedge”, depend of the hedge), lesser than it foresees that the transaction will not execute, in this case it will be registered immediately in Consolidated Statement of Income (in the item “Net interest income” and “Net income from UF indexation” and/or “Foreign currency changes, UF indexation and accounting hedge”, depend of the hedge).

 

(q) Intangible Assets:

 

Intangible assets (Note No. 15) are initially recognized at their acquisition cost, and are subsequently measured at their cost less any accumulated amortization or less any accumulated impairment losses.

 

Software or computer programs purchased by the Bank and its subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

 

The subsequent expense in software assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefit for the specific asset. All other expenses are recorded as an expense as incurred.

 

Amortization is recorded in income using the straight-line amortization method based on the estimated useful life of the software, from the date on which it is available for use. The estimated useful life of software is a maximum of 6 years.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(r) Property and equipment:

 

Property and equipment (Note No. 16) includes the amount of land, real estate, furniture, computer equipment and other installations owned by the consolidated entities and which are for own use. These assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment. This cost includes expenses than have been directly attributed to the asset’s acquisition.

 

Depreciation is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property and equipment.

 

The estimated average useful lives for the period 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

 

- Buildings   50 years
- Installations   10 years
- Equipment   5 years
- Supplies and accessories   5 years

 

Maintenance expenses relating to those assets held for own uses are recorded as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.

 

(s) Deferred taxes and income taxes:

 

The income tax provision of the Bank and its subsidiaries has been determined in conformity with current legal regulations.

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries recognize, when appropriate, deferred tax assets and liabilities for future estimates of tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the book and tax values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rate expected to be applied, in accordance with current tax law, in the year that deferred tax assets are realized or liabilities are settled. The effects of future changes in tax legislation or tax rates are recognized in deferred taxes starting on the date of publication of the law approving such changes (Note No. 18).

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is likely that future tax profits will be sufficient to recover deductions for temporary differences. According to instructions from the CMF, deferred taxes are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position according with IAS 12 “Income Tax”.

(t) Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities:

 

Provisions are liabilities involving uncertainty about their amount or maturity. They are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the following requirements are jointly met:

 

- a present obligation has arisen from a past event;

 

- as of the date of the Financial Statements it is probable that the Bank or its subsidiaries have to disburse resources to settle the obligation; and

 

- the amount of these resources can be reliably measured.

 

A contingent asset or liability is any right or obligation arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed by one or more uncertain future events which are not within the control of the Bank.

 

Contingent credits are understood as operations or commitments in which the Bank assumes a credit risk by committing itself to third parties, in the event of a future event, to make a payment or disbursement that must be recovered from its clients.

 

The following are classified as contingent credits in off-balance sheet information:

 

- Undrawn credit lines: Considers the unused amounts of lines of credit that allow customers to make use of credit without prior decisions by the bank.

 

- Undrawn credit lines with immediate termination: Considers those undrawn credit lines, defined in the previous numeral, that the bank can unconditionally cancel at any time and without prior notice, or for which its automatic cancellation is contemplated in case of deterioration of the debtor’s solvency, as permitted by the current legal framework and the contractual conditions established between the parties.

 

- Contingent credits linked to the CAE: Correspond to credit commitments granted in accordance with Law No. 20,027 (“CAE”).

 

- Letters of credit for goods circulation operations: Considers the commitments that arise, both to the issuing bank and to the confirming bank, from self-settled commercial letters of credit with a maturity period of less than 1 year, arising from merchandise circulation operations (for example, confirmed foreign or documentary letters of credit). Includes documentary letters of credit issued by the Bank, which have not yet been negotiated.

 

- Debt purchase commitments in local currency abroad: Note issuance facility (NIF) and revolving underwriting facility (RUF) are considered.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

- Transactions related to contingent events: Guarantee bonds with promissory notes referred to in Chapter 8-11 of the Actualized Standards Compilation are considered.

 

- Warranty by endorsement and sureties: Includes warranty by endorsement, sureties and standby letters of credit referred to in Chapter 8-10 of the Actualized Standards Compilation. In addition, it includes the payment guarantees of buyers in factoring operations, as indicated in Chapter 8-38 of that Compilation.

 

- Other credit commitments: It includes the unplaced amounts of committed loans that are to be disbursed on an agreed future date or triggered by events contractually defined with the client, as is the case with irrevocable credit lines tied to the progress of projects (for provisions purposes, both the gross exposure referred to in No. 3 and future increases in the amount of guarantees associated with committed disbursements must be considered).

 

Exposure to credit risk on contingent loans:

 

To calculate provisions for contingent credits, the amount of exposure to be considered will be equivalent to the percentage of the amounts of the contingent credits indicated below:

 

Type of contingent credit   Credit Conversion Factor  
Undrawn credit lines with immediate termination     10 %
Contingent credits linked to the CAE     15 %
Letters of credit for goods circulation operations     20 %
Other undrawn credit lines     40 %
Debt purchase commitments in local currency abroad     50 %
Transactions related to contingent events     50 %
Warranty by endorsement and sureties     100 %
Other credit commitments     100 %
Other contingent loans     100 %

 

When dealing with transactions performed with customers with overdue loans, that exposure shall be equivalent to 100% of its contingent loans.

 

(u) Provisions for minimum dividends:

 

According with the CASB of the CMF, the Bank records within liabilities the portion of net income for the year that should be distributed to comply with the Corporations Law or its dividend policy. For these purposes, the Bank establishes a provision in a complementary equity account within retained earnings (Note No. 25).

 

For purposes of calculating the provision of minimum dividends, the distributable net income is considered, which is defined as that which results from reducing or adding to the net income for the year, the correction of the value of the paid-in capital and reserves, due to the effects of the variation of the Consumer Price Index.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(v) Employee benefits:

 

Employee benefits are all forms of consideration granted by an entity in exchange for services provided by employees or severance pay.

 

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled in full before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees have rendered the related services (Note No. 24 (c)).

 

- Staff vacations

 

The annual costs of vacations and staff benefits are recognized on an accrual basis.

 

- Other short-term benefits

 

The entity contemplates for its employees an annual incentive plan for meeting objectives and individual contribution to the company’s results, which are eventually delivered, consisting of a certain number or portion of monthly salaries and are provisioned based on the estimated amount to be distributed.

 

Other long-term employee benefits are all employee benefits other than short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, and termination benefits.

 

- Employee benefits for termination of employment contract

 

The Bank has agreed with part of the staff the payment of compensation to those who have completed 30 or 35 years of permanence, in the event that they retired from the Institution. The proportional part accrued by those employees who will have access to exercise the right to this benefit and who at the end of the year have not yet acquired it has been incorporated into this obligation.

 

The obligations of this benefit plan are valued according to the projected credit unit method, including as variables the staff turnover rate, the expected salary growth and the probability of using this benefit, discounted at the current rate for long-term operations (5.77% as of March 31, 2024 and 5.77% as of December 31, 2023).

 

The discount rate used corresponds to the rate of 10-year Bonds in pesos of the Central Bank of Chile (BCP).

 

Gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial variables are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income. There are no other additional costs that should be recognized by the Bank.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

(w) Earnings per share:

 

The basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net income attributed to the Bank’s owners in a period and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during that period.

 

Diluted earnings per share are determined similarly to basic earnings, but the weighted average number of outstanding shares is adjusted to take into account the potential dilutive effect of the options on shares, warrants and convertible debt. At the end of the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 there are no concepts to adjust.

 

(x) Interest revenue and expense and UF indexation:

 

Interest income and expenses and UF indexation (Notes No. 30 and No. 31) are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate which exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument (or, where appropriate, in a shorter period), to the carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. To calculate the effective interest rate, the Bank determines cash flows by taking into account all contractual conditions of the financial instrument, excluding future credit losses.

 

The effective interest rate calculation includes all fees and other amounts paid or received that form part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the purchase or issuance of a financial asset or liability.

 

In the case of the impaired portfolio and current loans with a high risk of irrecoverability of loans and accounts receivable from customers, the Bank has applied a conservative position of discontinuing the accrual of interest and UF indexation on an accrual basis in the Consolidated Statement of Income, when the credit or one of its installments has been 90 days default in its payment.

 

(y) Commission income and expenses:

 

Revenue and expenses from fees (Note No. 32) are recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement using the criteria established in IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”.

 

Under IFRS 15, revenues are recognized considering the terms of the contract with customers. Revenue is recognized when or as the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the goods or services committed to the customer.

 

Under IFRS 15, revenues are recognized using different criteria depending on their nature. The most significant are:

 

Those that correspond to a singular act, when the act that originates them takes place.

 

Those that originate in transactions or services that are extended over time, during the life of such transactions or services.

 

Commissions on loan commitments and other fees related to credit operations are deferred (together with the incremental costs directly related to the placement) and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the placement. In the case of loan commitments, when there is no certainty of the date of effective placement, the commissions are recognized in the period of the commitment that originates it on a linear basis.

(z) Impairment of non-financial assets:

 

The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets of the Bank and its subsidiaries, are reviewed throughout the year and especially at each reporting date, to determine if any indication of impairment exists. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is then estimated.

 

(aa)  Financial and operating leases:

 

The Bank acting as lessor

 

Assets leased to customers under agreements which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, with or without ultimate legal title, are classified as finance leases. When assets held are subject to a finance lease, the leased assets are derecognized and a receivable is recognized which is equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating, and arranging a finance lease are incorporated into the receivable through the discount rate applied to the lease. Finance lease income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the finance lease.

 

Assets leased to customers under agreements, which do not transfer substantially all the risks, and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases.

 

The leased investment properties, under the operating lease modality, are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as “Other assets” and depreciation is determined on the book value of these assets, applying a proportion of the value in a systematic way on the economic use of the estimated useful life. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Bank acting as lessee

 

A contract is, or contains a lease, if one party has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a regular payment (Note No. 17).

 

On the start date of a lease, a right-to-use assets leased is determined at cost, which includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability plus other disbursements made.

 

The amount of the lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments that have not been paid on that date, which are discounted using the Bank’s incremental financing interest rate.

 

The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses due to impairment of value, depreciation of the right-of-use asset, is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income based on the linear depreciation method from the start date and until the end of the lease term.

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

The monthly variation of the UF for the contracts established in said monetary unit should be treated as a new measurement, therefore the UF readjustment modifies the value of the lease liability, and in parallel, the amount of the right-of-use asset must be adjusted by this effect.

 

After the start date, the lease liability is measured by lowering the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and the modifications to the lease.

 

According to IFRS 16 “Leases” the Bank does not apply this rule to contracts whose duration is 12 months or less and those that contain an underlying asset of low value. In these cases, payments are recognized as a lease expense.

 

(ab)  Additional provisions:

 

In accordance to the CMF regulations, the banks have recorded additional allowances for its individually evaluated loan portfolio, taking into consideration the expected impairment of this portfolio. The calculation of this allowance is performed based on the Bank’s historical experience and considering possible future adverse macroeconomic conditions or circumstances that could affect a specific sector.

 

The provisions made in order to forestall the risk of macroeconomic fluctuations should anticipate situations reversal of expansionary economic cycles in the future, could translate into a worsening in the conditions of the economic environment and thus, function as a countercyclical mechanism accumulation of additional provisions when the scenario is favorable and release or assignment to specific provisions when environmental conditions deteriorate.

 

According to the above, additional provisions must always correspond to general provisions on commercial, consumer or mortgage loans, or segments identified, and in no case may be used to offset weaknesses of the models used by the Bank (Note No. 26).

 

As of March 31, 2024, the balance of additional provisions amounts to Ch$700,252 million (Ch$700,252 million in December 2023), which are presented in the caption “Special Provisions for Credit Risk” of liabilities in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

(ac)  Fair value measurement:

 

“Fair value” is understood as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants in a principal (or more advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions, independent whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. The most objective and usual reference of fair value is the price that would be paid in an active, transparent and deep market (“quoted price” or “market price”).

 

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

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2. Main Accounting Criteria Used, continued:

 

If a market for a financial instrument is not active, the Bank establishes fair value using a valuation technique. These valuation techniques include the use of recent market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, if available, as well as references to the fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flows and options pricing models.

 

The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of information obtained in the market, using the least possible amount of data estimated by the Bank, incorporates all the factors that market participants would consider to establish the price, and will be consistent with generally accepted economic methodologies for calculating the price of financial instruments. The variables used by the valuation technique reasonably represent market expectations and reflect the return-risk factors inherent to the financial instrument. Periodically, the Bank calibrates the valuation techniques and tests it for validity using prices from observable current market transaction in the same instrument or based on available observable market information.

 

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) unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e. without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. However, when transaction price provides the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition, the financial instrument is initially measured at the transaction price and any difference between this price and the value initially obtained from a valuation model is subsequently recognized in incomes.

 

On the other hand, it should be noted that the Bank has financial assets and liabilities offset each other’s market risks, based on which average market prices are used as a basis for determining their fair value.

 

Then, the fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties; to the extent that the Bank believes that a third-party market participant would take them into account in pricing a transaction.

 

The Bank’s fair value disclosures are included in Note No. 44.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted, or Issued that have not yet been Adopted:

 

Standards approved and/or modified by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and by the Commission for the Financial Market (CMF):

 

Standards and interpretations that have been adopted in these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

As of the date of issuance of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the new accounting pronouncements issued by both the IASB and the CMF, which have been adopted by the Bank and its subsidiaries, are detailed below:

 

- Accounting standards issued by IASB.

 

IFRS 16 Leases. Recognition of the lease liability in a sale with leaseback.

 

In September 2022, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 16 related to the recognition of the lease liability in a sale with leaseback.

 

The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee must use to measure the lease liability that arises on sale and leaseback so that the seller-lessee does not recognize any gain or loss related to the right of use that it retains.

 

The modifications are effective for the periods of presentation of the Financial Statements that begin on or after January 1, 2024, and early application is allowed.

 

The implementation of this amendment will have no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

 

IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures - Supplier Financing Arrangements.

 

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7. The amendments specify the current requirements to enhance the disclosure in the financial statements of supplier financing arrangements concerning liabilities, cash flows, and a company’s exposure to liquidity risk.

 

The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and early application is permitted.

 

The implementation of this amendment had no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted, or Issued that have not yet been Adopted, continued:

 

New Standards and interpretations that have been issued but their application date is not yet in force:

 

The following is a summary of new standards, interpretations and improvements to the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the CMF that are not yet effective as of March 31, 2024, as follows:

 

- Accounting standards issued by IASB.

 

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Venture and IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In September 2014, the IASB published this modification, which clarifies the scope of the profits and losses recognized in a transaction, that involves an associate or joint venture, and that this depends on whether the asset sold or contribution constitutes a business. Therefore, the IASB concluded that all gains or losses must be recognized against loss of control of a business.

 

Likewise, the gains or losses that result from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business (definition of IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture must be recognized only to the extent of unrelated interests in the associate or joint venture.

 

During December 2015, the IASB agreed to set the effective date of this modification in the future, allowing its immediate application.

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries will have no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the application of this amendment.

 

IAS 21 Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

 

In August 2023, the IASB published amendments to IAS 21. These amendments set out criteria that will allow companies to assess whether a currency is exchangeable and when it is not so, they can determine the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide.

 

The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and early application is permitted.

 

As of the date of issuance of these Interim Financial Statements, the implementation of this new standard will not have impacts for the Bank or its subsidiaries.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted, or Issued that have not yet been Adopted, continued:

 

- Accounting standards issued by CMF.

 

Circular No. 2,346. Standard model of provisions for consumer loans. Modifies Chapter B-1 “Provisions for credit risk” and Chapter E “Transitional disposition” of the CNCB.

 

On March 6, 2024, the CMF published this circular that introduces the regulations that establish the Standardized Methodology for computing Provisions for Consumer Loans in Chapter B-1 of the CNCB.

 

The regulations establish matrices for determining the Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) parameters that must be used to calculate the minimum level of provisions.

 

The PD matrix is determined based on three factors (default in the bank, in the financial system and the possession of a mortgage loan).

 

Regarding the LGD, the model allows differentiation according to the type of credit (leasing or automotive, installments, cards and lines or other consumer) and also distinguishes those debtors with mortgage credit for housing in the system, allowing banks recognize a loss level adjusted to the specific characteristics of each operation.

 

The regulations of the standard provision model for consumer loans will come into force as of the accounting close of January 2025. Until that date, banks will continue to estimate the provisions of this portfolio only through their internal methodologies. The impact of the first application must be recorded in the entity’s income statement.

 

Based on the information available at the date of issuance of these Financial Statements, it is estimated that the adoption of this new methodology will mean a charge to results of the order of Ch$60,000 and Ch$65,000 million before tax. To address this impact, the Bank has resolved to release additional provisions for an equivalent amount at the time of implementing the new methodology.

6. Business Segments, continued:

 

The financial information used to measure the performance of the Bank’s business segments is not comparable with similar information from other financial institutions because each institution relies on its own definitions. The accounting policies applied to the segments is the same as those described in the summary of accounting principles. The Bank obtains the majority of the results from: interest, indexation and commissions and financial operations and changes, discounting provisions for credit risk and operating expenses. Management is mainly based on these concepts to evaluate the performance of the segments and make decisions about the goals and allocations of resources of each unit. Although the results of the segments reconcile with those of the Bank at the total level, this is not necessarily the case in terms of the different concepts, given that management is measured and controlled individually and not on a consolidated basis, applying the following criteria:

 

The net interest margin of loans and deposits is obtained aggregating the net financial margins of each individual operation of credit and uptake made by the bank. For these purposes, the volume of each operation and its contribution margin are considered, which in turn corresponds to the difference between the effective rate of the customer and the internal transfer price established according to the term and currency of each operation. Additionally, the net margin includes the result of interest and indexation from the accounting hedges.

 

Provisions for credit risk are determined at the customer and counterparty level based on the characteristics of each of their operations. In the case of additional provisions, these are assigned to the different business segments based on the credit risk weighted assets that each segment has.

 

The capital and its financial impacts on outcome have been assigned to each segment based on the risk-weighted assets.

 

Operational expenses are reflected at the level of the different functional areas of the Bank. The allocation of expenses from functional areas to business segments is done using different allocation criteria, at the level of the different concepts and expense items.

 

Taxes are managed at a corporate level and are not allocated to business segments.

 

For the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 there was no income from transactions with a customer or counterparty that accounted for 10% or more of the Bank’s total revenues.

(b) Fair value Hedges:

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no fair value hedges are held.

 

(c) Cash flow Hedges:

 

(c.1) The Bank uses cross currency swaps to hedge the risk from variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the interest rates and foreign exchange of foreign banks obligations and bonds issued abroad in US Dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yens, Peruvian Sol, Australian Dollars, Euros, Norwegian kroner and Mexican peso. The cash flows of the cross currency swaps equal the cash flows of the hedged items, which modify uncertain cash flows to known cash flows derived from a fixed interest rate.

 

Additionally, these cross currency swap contracts used to hedge the risk from variability of the Unidad de Fomento (“CLF”) in assets flows denominated in CLF until a nominal amount equal to the portion notional of the hedging instrument CLF, whose readjustment impact the item “Interest Revenue” of the Income Financial Statements.

(c) Cash flow Hedges, continued:

 

With respect to UF assets hedged; these are revalued monthly according to the variation of the UF, which is equivalent to monthly reinvest the assets until maturity of the relationship hedging.

 

(c.4) The unrealized results generated during the period 2024 by those derivative contracts that conform the hedging instruments in this cash flow hedging strategy, have been recorded with charge to equity amounting to Ch$5,247million (credit to equity of Ch$56,304 million in March 2023). The net effect of taxes charge to equity amounts to Ch$3,830 million (credit to equity of Ch$41,102 million during the period March 2023).

(c.5) The effect of the cash flow hedging derivatives that offset the result of the hedged instruments corresponds to a credit to income of Ch$169,104 million during the period 2024 (charge to results for Ch$156,319 million during the period March 2023).

 

(c.6) As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, it not exist inefficiency in cash flow hedge, because both, hedge item and hedge instruments, are mirrors of each other, it means that all variation of value attributable to rate and revaluation components are netted totally.

(d) Earnings per share:

 

(i) Basic earnings per share:

 

Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the net income attributable to the Bank ordinary equity holders in a year between the weighted average number of shares outstanding during that period, excluding the average number of own shares held throughout the period.

 

(ii) Diluted earnings per share:

 

In order to calculate the diluted earnings per share, both the amount of income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding, net of own shares, must be adjusted for all the inherent dilutive effects to the potential common shares (stock options, warrants and convertible debt).

 

Accordingly, the basic and diluted earnings per share as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were determined as follows:

 

    March     March  
    2024     2023  
Basic earnings per share:            
Net profits attributable to ordinary equity holders of the bank (in million of Chilean pesos)     297,655       265,951  
Weighted average number of ordinary shares     101,017,081,114       101,017,081,114  
Earning per shares (in Chilean pesos)     2.95       2.63  
                 
Diluted earnings per share:                
Net profits attributable to ordinary equity holders of the bank (in million of Chilean pesos)     297,655       265,951  
Weighted average number of ordinary shares     101,017,081,114       101,017,081,114  
Assumed conversion of convertible debt            
Adjusted number of shares     101,017,081,114       101,017,081,114  
Diluted earnings per share (in Chilean pesos)     2.95       2.63

44. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities:

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries have defined a corporate framework for valuation and control related with the process to the fair value measurement.

 

Within the established framework includes the Product Control Unit, which is independent of the business areas and reports to the Financial Management Control and Division Manager. This function befall to the Financial Control, Treasury and Capital Manager, through the Financial Risk Information and Control Section, is responsible for independent verification of price and results of trading (including derivatives) and investment operations and all fair value measurements.

 

To achieve the appropriate measurements and controls, the Bank and its subsidiaries, take into account at least the following aspects:

 

(i) Industry standard valuation.

 

To value financial instruments, Banco de Chile uses industry standard modeling; quota value, share price, discounted cash flows and valuation of options through Black-Scholes-Merton, according to the case.

 

The input parameters for the valuation of fixed income instruments and options correspond to rates, prices and volatility levels for different terms and market factors that are traded in the national and international market and that are provided by the main sources of the market.

 

In the case of the valuation of derivatives under a CSA (Credit Support Annex Discounting) agreement, the rates used to discount the flows correspond to the CSA Discounting methodology, where the discount factors used depend on the collateral agreement that exists with each counterparty.

 

(ii) Quoted prices in active markets.

 

The fair value for instruments with quoted prices in active markets is determined using daily quotes from electronic systems information (such as Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, Bloomberg, LVA and Risk America, etc). This quote represents the price at which these instruments are regularly traded in the financial markets.

 

(iii) Valuation techniques.

 

If no specific quotes are available for the instrument to be valued, valuation techniques will be used to determine the fair value.

 

Due to, in general, the valuation models require a set of market parameters as inputs, the aim is to maximize information based on observable or price-related quotations for similar instruments in active markets. To the extent there is no information in direct from the markets, data from external suppliers of information, prices of similar instruments and historical information are used to validate the valuation parameters.

44. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

(iv) Fair value adjustments.

 

Part of the fair value process considers four adjustments to the market value, calculated based on the market parameters, including; a liquidity adjustment, a Bid/Offer adjustment, an adjustment for derivative credit risk (CVA and DVA), and an adjustment for the funding of the derivative cash flows (FVA). Likewise, for certain fixed income instruments held in investment portfolios measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or at amortized cost, the portion of the fair value adjustment explained by impairment due to counterparty credit risk is determined.

 

The calculation of the liquidity adjustment considers the size of the position in each factor, the particular liquidity of each factor, the relative size of Banco de Chile with respect to the market, and the liquidity observed in transactions recently carried out in the market. In turn, the Bid/Offer adjustment, represents the impact on the valuation of an instrument depending on whether the position corresponds to a long (bought) or a short (sold). To calculate this adjustment is used the direct quotes from active markets or indicative prices or derivatives of similar assets depending on the instrument, considering the Bid, Mid and Offer, respectively. Finally, the adjustment made for CVA and DVA for derivatives corresponds to the credit risk recognition of the issuer, either of the counterparty (CVA) or of Banco de Chile (DVA). Similarly, the determination of credit risk impairment is determined based on the counterparty risk implicit in the instrument’s market rate. Finally, the FVA adjustment for derivatives corresponds to a value adjustment that reflects the expected cost (or benefit) of financing (reinvesting) the cash flows of the derivative, with respect to a reference discount rate, when there are no collaterals or this one is imperfect.

 

It should be noted that there is also the concept of COLVA for derivatives, which is an adjustment to the valuation if a derivative is valued with parameters other than those used in the CSA Discounting methodology, mentioned above. As the valuation methodology used by Banco de Chile is CSA Discounting, the COLVA is already part of the Mark-to-Market (MTM) of the derivative and no additional adjustment is required for this concept. In any case, the Bank measures a COLVA for internal management purposes, with respect to a SOFR Discounting scenario (scenario where all derivatives have USD SOFR collateral).

 

Liquidity value adjustments are made to trading instruments (including derivatives) only, while Bid / Offer adjustments are made for trading instruments and Financial instrument at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. Adjustments for CVA/DVA/FVA/COLVA are carried out only for derivatives. For its part, credit risk impairment is computed only for fixed income instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and fixed income instruments measured at amortized cost.

(v) Fair value control.

 

A process of independent verification of prices and interest rates is executed daily, in order to control that the market parameters used by Banco de Chile in the valuation of the financial instruments relating to the current state of the market and from them the best estimate derived of the fair value. The objective of this process is to control that the official market parameters provided by the respective business areas, before being entered into the valuation, are within acceptable ranges of differences when compared to the same set of parameters prepared independently by the Financial Risk Information and Control Section. As a result, value differences are obtained at the level of currency, product and portfolio. In the event significant differences exist, these differences are scaled according to the amount of individual materiality of each market factor and aggregated at the portfolio level, according to the grouping levels within previously defined ranges. These ranges are approved by the Finance, International and Financial Risk Committee.

 

Complementary and in parallel, the Financial Risk Information and Control Section generates and reports on a daily basis Profit and Loss (“P&L”) and Exposure to Market Risks, which allow for proper control and consistency of the parameters used in the valuation.

 

(vi) Judgmental analysis and information to Management.

 

In particular cases, where there are no market quotations for the instrument to be valued and there are no prices for similar transactions instruments or indicative parameters, a specific control and a reasoned analysis must be carried out in order to estimate the fair value of the operation. Within the valuation framework described in the Reasonable Value Policy (and its procedure) approved by the Board of Directors of Banco de Chile, a required level of approval is set in order to carry out transactions where market information is not available or it is not possible to infer prices or rates from it.

 

(a) Hierarchy of instrument valued at Fair value:

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries, classify all the financial instruments among the following levels:

 

Level 1: These are financial instruments whose fair value is calculated at quoted prices (unadjusted) in extracted from liquid and deep markets. For these instruments there are quotes or prices (return internal rates, quote value, price) the observable market, so that assumptions are not required to determine the value.

 

In this level, the following instruments are considered: currency futures, debt instruments issued by the Treasury and the Central Bank of Chile, which belong to benchmarks, mutual fund investments and equity shares.

 

For the instruments of the Central Bank of Chile and the General Treasury of the Republic, all those mnemonics belonging to a Benchmark, in other words corresponding to one of the following categories published by the Santiago Stock Exchange, will be considered as Level 1: Pesos-02, Pesos-03, Pesos-04, Pesos-05, Pesos-07, Pesos-10, UF-02, UF-04, UF-05, UF-07, UF-10, UF-20, UF-30.

44. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

A Benchmark corresponds to a group of mnemonics that are similar in duration and are traded in an equivalent way, i.e., the price (return internal rates in this case) obtained is the same for all the instruments that make up a Benchmark. This feature defines a greater depth of market, with daily quotations that allow classifying these instruments as Level 1.

 

In the case of debt issued by the Chilean Government, the internal rate of return of the market is used to discount all flows to present value. In the case of mutual funds and equity shares, the current market price per share, which multiplied by the number of instruments results in the fair value.

 

The preceding described valuation methodology is equivalent to the one used by the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (Santiago Stock Exchange) and correspond to the standard methodology used in the market.

 

Level 2: They are financial instruments whose fair value is calculated based on prices other than in quoted in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, directly (that is, as prices or internal rates of return) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices or internal rates of return from similar instruments). These categories include:

 

a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

c) Inputs data other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

d) Inputs data corroborated by the market.

 

At this level there are mainly derivatives instruments, debt issued by banks, debt issues of Chilean and foreign companies, issued in Chile or abroad, mortgage claims, financial brokerage instruments and some issuances by the Central Bank of Chile and the General Treasury of the Republic, which do not belong to benchmarks.

 

To value derivatives, depends on whether they are impacted by volatility as a relevant market factor in standard valuation methodologies; for options the Black-Scholes-Merton formula is used; for the rest of the derivatives, forwards and swaps, discounted cash flows method is used.

 

For the remaining instruments at this level, as for debt issues of level 1, the valuation is done through cash flows model by using an internal rate of return that can be derived or estimated from internal rates of return of similar securities as mentioned above.

 

In the event that there is no observable price for an instrument in a specific term, the price will be inferred from the interpolation between periods that have observable quoted price in active markets. These models incorporate various market variables, including the credit quality of counterparties, exchange rates and interest rate curves.

Level 3: These are financial instruments whose fair value is determined using non-observable inputs data neither for the assets or liabilities under analysis nor for similar instruments. An adjustment to an input that is significant to the entire measurement can result in a fair value measurement classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, if the adjustment uses significant non-observable data entry.

 

The instruments likely to be classified as level 3 are mainly Corporate Debt by Chilean and foreign companies, issued both in Chile and abroad.

With the purpose of determining the sensitivity of the financial investments to changes in significant market factors, the Bank has made alternative calculations at fair value, changing those key parameters for the valuation and which are not directly observable in screens. In the case of the financial assets listed in the table above, which correspond to Bank Bonds and Corporate Bonds, it was considered that, since there are no current observables prices, the input prices will be based on brokers’ quotes. The prices are usually calculated as a base rate plus a spread. For Local Bonds it was determined to apply a 10% impact on the price, while for the Off Shore Bonds it was determined to apply a 10% impact only on the spread, since the base rate is covered by interest rate swaps instruments in the so-called accounting hedges. The 10% impact is considered reasonable, taking into account the market performance of these instruments and comparing it against the bid / offer adjustment that is provisioned by these instruments.

44. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

(f) Levels of other assets and liabilities, continued:

 

The Bank determines the fair value of these assets and liabilities according to the following:

 

Short-term assets and liabilities: For assets and liabilities with short-term maturity, it is assumed that the book values approximate to their fair value. This assumption is applied to the following assets and liabilities:

 

  Assets:   Liabilities:
       
  -   Cash and deposits in banks   -   Current accounts and other demand deposits
  -   Transactions in the course of collection   -   Transactions in the course of payments
  -   Investment under resale agreements and securities loans   -   Obligations under repurchase agreements and securities loans
  -   Loans and advance to domestic banks (including the Central Bank of Chile)    

 

Loans to Customers and Advance to foreign banks: Fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow model and internally generated discount rates, based on internal transfer rates derived from our internal transfer price process. Once the present value is determined, we deduct the related loan loss allowances in order to incorporate the credit risk associated with each contract or loan. As we use internally generated parameters for valuation purposes, we categorize these instruments in Level 3.

 

Debt financial instruments at amortized cost: The fair value is calculated with the methodology of the Stock Exchange, using the IRR observed in the market. Because the instruments that are in this category correspond to Treasury Bonds that are Benchmark, they are classified in Level 1.

 

Letters of Credit and Bonds: In order to determine the present value of contractual cash flows, we apply the discounted cash flow model by using market interest rates that are available in the market, either for the instruments under valuation or instruments with similar features that fit valuation needs in terms of currency, maturities and liquidity. The market interest rates are obtained from third party price providers widely used by the market. As a result of the valuation technique and the quality of inputs (observable) used for valuation, we categorize these financial liabilities in Level 2.

 

Saving Accounts, Time Deposits, Borrowings from Financial Institutions (including the Central Bank of Chile), Subordinated Bonds and Other borrowings financial: The discounted cash flow model is used to obtain the present value of committed cash flows by applying a bucket approach and average adjusted discount rates that derived from both market rates for instruments with similar features and our internal transfer price process. As we use internally generated parameters and/or apply significant judgmental analysis for valuation purposes, we categorize these financial liabilities in Level 3.

Global risk management takes into consideration the different business segments served by the Bank, being approached from a comprehensive and differentiated perspective.

 

Our risk management policies are established in order to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Bank, set appropriate risk limits, alerts and controls, monitor risks and compliance with limits and alerts in order to carry out the necessary action plans. Through its administration policies and procedures, the Bank develops a disciplined and constructive control environment. Policies as well as risk management standards, procedures and systems are regularly reviewed.

 

For this, the Bank has teams with extensive experience and knowledge in each area associated with risks, ensuring comprehensive and consolidated management of the same, including the Bank and its subsidiaries.

 

(a) Risk Management Structure

 

Credit, Market and Operational Risk Management are at the all levels of the Organization, with a Corporate Governance structure that recognizes the relevance of the different risk areas that exist.

 

The Bank’s Board of Directors Board of Directors of Banco de Chile establishes the risk policies, the Risk Appetite Framework, and the guidelines for the development, validation and monitoring of models. Likewise, it approves the provision models, the Additional Provisions Policy and pronounces annually on the sufficient provisions. Also, it ratifies the strategies, policies, functional structure and comprehensive management model of Operational Risk and is in charge of guaranteeing the consistency of this model with the Bank’s strategy, ensuring proper implementation of the model in the organization. Along with this, it establishes the Subsidiary Risk Control Policy, describing the supervision scheme that the Bank applies to the relevant subsidiaries to control the risks that affect them. For its part, the Administration is responsible both for the establishment of standards and associated procedures as well as for the control and compliance with the disposed by the Board of Directors, ensuring that there is consistency between the criteria applied by the Bank and its subsidiaries, maintaining strict coordination at the corporate level and informing the Board of Directors in the defined instances.

 

The Bank’s Corporate Governance considers the active participation of the Board, acting directly or through different committees made up of Directors and Senior Management. It is permanently informed of the evolution of the different risk areas, participating through its Finance, International and Financial Risk, Credit, Portfolio Risk Committee and Higher Operational Risk Committee, in which the status of credit, market and operational risks are reviewed. These committees are described in the following paragraphs.

 

Risk Management is developed jointly by the Wholesale Credit Risk Division, the Retail Credit Risk and Global Risk Control Division and the Cybersecurity Division, which constitute the corporate risk governance structure, which by having highly experienced and specialized teams, together with a robust regulatory framework, allow optimal and effective management of the matters they address.

In turn, in the Retail Credit Risk and Global Risk Control Division, the Admissions Area, among its functions, develops the regulatory framework in matters of credit risk, and the Risk Models Area, which develops the different methodologies related to credit risk. Likewise, in this Division, model monitoring, validation and model risk management are carried out by the respective areas that deal with these matters, ensuring the independence of the function.

 

This Division also has the Operational Risk and Business Continuity Management, in charge of managing and supervising the application of the policies, rules and procedures in each of these areas within the Bank and Subsidiaries. For these purposes, the Operational Risk Management is in charge of guaranteeing the identification and efficient management of operational risks and promoting a culture in terms of risks to prevent financial losses and improve the quality of the processes, as well as proposing continuous improvements to risk management, aligned with regulatory requirements and business objectives.

 

With respect to Business Continuity Management, it is responsible for managing, controlling and administering recovery strategies in the event of contingency situations, and is also responsible for maintaining the continuity of services and critical operations related to the Bank’s payment chain. Management has a robust and effective model, which is permanently applied from the continuity program and based on a comprehensive resilient work framework in operational and technological areas, which allows for an effective response to disruptive events that may affect the Bank. Training or tests are a fundamental part of the program, which allow the verification and support of the sufficiency and effectiveness of each of the plans and strategies. Additionally, there is the role and responsibilities of the Information Security Officer (ISO), with an independent function in charge of designing and implementing a monitoring environment for the adequate definition and implementation of the information security strategy and controls and cybersecurity, as well as the independence of the control functions of the Cybersecurity Division.

 

In both Operational Risk and Business Continuity, its methodologies, controls and scope are applied at the Banco de Chile level and are replicated in the subsidiaries, guaranteeing their homologation to the Bank’s global management model.

(b) Internal Audit

 

The risk management processes of the entire Bank are permanently audited by the Internal Audit Area, which examines the sufficiency of the procedures and their compliance. Internal Audit discusses the results of all evaluations with the administration and reports its findings and recommendations to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee.

 

(c) Measurement Methodology

 

Regarding to Credit Risk, provision levels and portfolio expenses are the basic measures for determining the credit quality of our portfolio.

 

Banco de Chile permanently evaluates its loan portfolio, timely recognizing the associated level of risk of the loan portfolio. To this end, there are guidelines for the generation of credit risk models, covering management models (reactive and proactive admission models and collection models), provision models (both under local regulations in accordance with the instructions issued by the CMF, as well as under IFRS criteria) and stress tests that are part of the Bank’s effective equity self-assessment process. The Board of Directors approves these guidelines and the models developed.

 

For the purposes of covering losses in the event of customers payment default, the Bank determines the level of provisions that must be established based on the following:

 

- Individual evaluation: mainly applies to the Bank’s portfolio of legal persons that, due to their size, complexity or indebtedness, requires a more detailed level of knowledge and a case-by-case analysis. Each debtor is assigned one of the 16 risk categories defined by the CMF, in order to establish the provisions in a timely and appropriate manner. The review of the portfolio risk classifications is carried out permanently considering the financial situation, payment behavior and the environment of each client.

 

- Group evaluation: mainly applies to the portfolio of natural persons and smaller companies. These assessments are carried out monthly through statistical models that allow estimating the level of provisions necessary to cover the portfolio risk; in the case of commercial and mortgage portfolios, these results are contrasted with the standard models provided by the regulator, with the resulting provision being the largest between both methods. The consistency analysis of the models is carried out through an independent validation of the unit that develops them and, subsequently, through the analysis of retrospective tests that allow to compare the real losses with the expected ones. The CMF recently issued the regulations that establish the Standardized Methodology for computing Provisions for Consumer Loans, whose provisions will come into force as of the accounting close of January 2025.

 

In order to validate the quality and robustness of the risk assessment processes, the Bank annually performs a test of the sufficiency of provisions for the total loan portfolio, thus verifying that the provisions established are sufficient to cover the losses that could derive from the credit operations granted. The result of this analysis is presented to the Board of Directors, who manifests itself on the sufficiency of the provisions in each fiscal year.

47. Risk Management and Report, continued:

 

Banco de Chile establishes additional provisions with the objective of protecting itself from the risk of unpredictable economic fluctuations that may affect the macroeconomic environment or the situation of a specific economic sector. At least once a year, the amount of additional provisions to be constituted or released is annually proposed to the Portfolio Risk Committee and subsequently to the Board of Directors for approval.

 

During the first quarter 2024, the Bank maintainskept without modifications the amount of additional provisions established.

 

The monitoring and control of risks are carried out mainly based on limits established by the Board of Directors. These limits reflect the Bank’s business and market strategy, as well as the level of risk that it is willing to accept, with additional emphasis on the selected industries.

 

The Bank develops its capital planning process in an integrated manner with its strategic planning, in line with the risks inherent to its activity, the economic and competitive environment, its business strategy, corporate values, as well as its governance, management and risk control. As part of the capital planning process and, in line with what is required by the regulator, Risk-Weighted Assets and stress tests are obtained in the dimensions of credit, market and operational risk, as well as the Comprehensive Measurement of financial and non-financial risks.

 

The Bank annually reviews and updates its Risk Appetite Framework, approved by the Board of Directors, through which it is possible to identify, evaluate, measure, mitigate and control proactively and in advance all relevant risks that could materialize in the normal course of their business. To this end, the Bank uses different management tools and defines an adequate structure of alerts and limits, which are part of said Framework, which allow it to constantly monitor the performance of different indicators and implement timely corrective actions, in the event that are required. The result of these activities is part of the annual self-assessment report of effective equity approved by the Board of Directors and reported to the CMF.

(2) Credit Risk:

 

Credit risk considers the likelihood that the counterparty in the credit operation will not be able to fulfill its contractual obligation due to incapacity or financial insolvency, and this leads to a potential credit loss.

 

The Bank seeks an adequate risk-return relation and an appropriate balance of the risks assumed, through a permanent credit risk management considering the processes of admission, monitoring and recovery of the loans granted. Establishes the risk management framework for the different business segments it serves, responding to regulatory demands and commercial dynamism, being part of the digital transformation and contributing from a risk perspective to the various businesses addressed, through a vision of the portfolio that allows managing, resolving and controlling the business approval and monitoring process in an efficient and proactive manner.

 

In the business segments, the application of additional management processes is taken into consideration, to the extent required, for those financing requests that that will have a greater exposure to environmental and/or social risks.

 

The Bank integrates the socio-environmental criteria in its evaluations for the granting of financing destined to the development of projects, whether national or regional and that can generate an impact of this type, where they are executed. For the financing of projects, they must have the corresponding permits, authorizations, patents and studies, according to the impact they generate. In addition, the Bank has specialized units for serving large clients, through which the financing of project development is concentrated, including those of Public Works concessions that contemplate the construction of infrastructure, mining, electrical, real estate developments that can generate an environmental impact.

 

In matters of risks related to climate change, during 2023 and the first quarter 2024, progress has been made in the methodologies used to identify risks related to the climate factor in the portfolio. This includes conducting various specialized training on ESG risk matters to executives from different divisions, including risk executives, strengthening the Bank’s ability to proactively address these emerging challenges.

 

Credit policies and processes materialize in the following management principles, which are addressed with a specialized approach according to the characteristics of the different markets and segments served, recognizing the singularities of each one of them:

 

170


 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

47. Risk Management and Report, continued:

 

1. Apply a rigorous evaluation in the admission process, based on established credit policies, standards and procedures, together with the availability of sufficient and accurate information. Thus, it corresponds to analyze the generation of flows and solvency of the client to meet their payment commitments and, when the characteristics of the operation merit it, must constitute adequate collateral that allow mitigating the risk incurred with the client.

 

2. Have permanent and robust portfolio tracking processes, through procedures and systems that alert both the potential signs of impairment of clients, with respect to the conditions of origin, and also the possible business opportunities with those that present a better payments quality and behavior.

 

3. To develop credit risk modeling guidelines, in regulatory aspects and management, for efficient decision-making at different stages of the credit process.

 

4. Have a collection structure with timely, agile and effective processes that allow management to be carried out in accordance with the different types of clients and the types of breaches that arise, always in strict adherence to the regulatory framework and the Bank’s reputational definitions.

 

5. Maintain an efficient administration in work teams organization, tools and availability of information that allow an optimal credit risk management.

 

Based on these management principles, the credit risk divisions contribute to the business and anticipate threats that may affect the solvency and quality of the portfolio. In particular, during the last three years the solidity of these principles and the role of credit risk have made it possible to respond adequately to the challenges derived from the pandemic, providing timely responses to clients while maintaining the solid fundamentals that characterize the Bank’s portfolio in its different segments and products.

 

Within the framework of risk management, a permanent and focused monitoring of the behavior of the portfolios has continued, including the evolution of the credits associated with the FOGAPE Covid, FOGAPE Reactivation programs and recently FOGAPE Chile Apoya and FOGAES.

(a) Retail Segments:

 

In these segments, admission management is carried out mainly through a risk evaluation that uses scoring tools and an adequate credit attribution model to approve each operation. These evaluations take into consideration the level of indebtedness, payment capacity and the maximum acceptable exposure for the client.

 

For these segments, the Bank’s risk functions are segregated and distributed in the following areas:

 

Retail Admission and Regulatory, performs the evaluation of operations and clients, with specialization by products and segments. Maintains a framework of policies and standards that ensure the quality of the portfolio according to the desired risk, defining guidelines for the admission of clients and their respective parameterization in the evaluation systems. These definitions are released to commercial and risk areas through programs and continuous training, and their application is monitored through credit review processes.

 

Risk Model, is responsible for developing, maintaining and updating credit risk models, whether for regulatory or management uses, in accordance with local and international regulations, determining the most appropriate functional specifications and statistical techniques for the development of the required models. These models are validated by the Model Risk and Internal Control Management and presented to the corresponding government bodies, such as the Technical Committee for the Supervision and Development of Internal Models, the Portfolio Risk Committee or the Board of Directors, as appropriate.

 

Model Risk and Internal Control, its purpose is to manage the risks associated with models and their processes, for which it relies on the functions of model validation, model risk management and internal control.

 

Model validation is responsible for carrying out an independent review of risk models, including risk-weighted assets and stress tests, both in the construction and implementation stages of these models. It considers the validation of compliance with the guidelines established by the Board of Directors, addressing aspects such as governance, data quality, modeling techniques, implementation, methodological and parametric analysis, and documentation. The results of the review are presented and placed in consideration of the respective Committees, as appropriate.

 

Model risk management is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the activities associated with the state in which the models are according to their life cycle, in a way that facilitates the detection of potential increases in risk in sources of model risk from the bank.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

47. Risk Management and Report, continued:

 

For its part, the internal control function ensures the maintenance of a control model aligned with performance, financial and operational objectives, and the protection of its assets against possible losses. The foregoing has the consequence of ensuring the reliability and transparency of the financial and non-financial information generated by the Bank. For this, a periodic evaluation process is carried out, based on the risks that could have a material impact and which is carried out through the evaluation of the design and operational effectiveness of the identified controls and thus be able to comply with the operating, information and compliance objectives.

 

Retail Tracking and Models, is in charge of measuring the behavior of portfolios especially through the monitoring of the main indicators of the aggregate portfolio and the analysis of layers, reported in management reports, generating relevant information for decision-making in different instances defined. Also, special follow-ups are generated according to relevant events in the environment. This Area ensures that the different strategies executed meet the risk quality objectives that determined their implementation.

 

For its part, through the risk model monitoring function, they are monitored, ensuring compliance with the standards defined to ensure their predictive and discriminating power.

 

Additionally, this Area is responsible for managing the process for calculating provisions for credit risk, ensuring the correct execution of the processes and analysis of the results obtained.

 

Collection performs a cross-collection management in the Bank and defines refinancing criteria through the establishment of predefined renegotiation guidelines to solve the indebtedness of viable customers and with payment intentions, maintaining an adequate risk-return ratio, together with the incorporation of robust tools for a differentiated collection management according to the institutional policies and with strict adherence to the current regulatory framework.

 

In this sense, the Bank has specific regulations related to the collection and normalization of clients, which makes it possible to ensure the quality of the portfolio in accordance with credit policies and the desired risk appetite framework. Through collection management, the attention of clients with temporary flow problems is favored, debt normalization plans are proposed to viable clients, in such a way that it is possible to maintain the relationship in the long term once their situation is regularized, the recovery of assets at risk is maximized and the necessary collection actions are carried out, in a timely manner, to ensure the recovery of debts or reduce potential loss.

(b) Wholesale Segments:

 

In these segments, admission management is carried out through an individual evaluation of the client and the relationship of the rest of the group with the Bank is also considered if it belongs to a group of companies. This individual evaluation - and group if applicable - considers, among others, generation capacity, financial situation with emphasis on equity solvency, exposure levels, industry variables, evaluation of partners and management, and aspects of the operation such as financing structure, term, products and possible collaterals.

 

The indicated evaluation is supported by a rating model that allows greater homogeneity in the evaluation of the client and his group. This evaluation also includes specialized areas in some segments that by their nature require expert knowledge, such as real estate, construction, agriculture, financial, international, among others.

 

In a centralized manner, a permanent monitoring of the portfolio is carried at the individual level off business segments and economic sectors, based on periodically updated information from both the client and the industry, through the use of robust management tools. Through this process, alerts are generated that ensure the correct and timely recognition of the risk of the individual portfolio and the special conditions established in the admission stage are monitored, such as controls of financial covenants, coverage of certain collaterals and conditions imposed at the time of approval.

 

Additionally, within the Admission areas, joint monitoring tasks are carried out that allow monitoring the development of operations from their gestation to their recovery, with the aim of ensuring the correct and timely identification of portfolio risks, and to manage in advance those cases with higher risk levels.

 

Upon detection of clients that show signs of impairment or default with any condition, the commercial area to which the client belongs, together with the Wholesale Credit Risk Division, establish action plans for their regularization. In those more complex cases where specialized management is required, the Special Assets Management area, belonging to the Wholesale Credit Risk Division, is directly in charge of collection management, establishing action plans and negotiations based on the particular characteristics of each client.

The value of the guarantees that the Bank maintains related to the loans individually classified as impaired as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 amounted Ch$136,791 million and Ch$140,371 million, respectively.

 

The value guarantees related to past due loans but no impaired as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 amounted Ch$518,910 million and Ch$459,858 million respectively.

 

(e) Credit Quality by Asset Class:

 

The Bank determines the credit quality of financial assets using internal credit ratings. The rating process is linked to the Bank’s approval and monitoring processes and is carried out in accordance with risk categories established by current standards. Credit quality is continuously updated based on any favorable or unfavorable developments to customers or their environments, considering aspects such as commercial and payment behavior as well as financial information.

 

The Bank also carries out reviews focused on companies that participate in specific economic sectors, which are affected either by macroeconomic variables or variables of the sector. In this way, it is possible to timely establish the necessary and sufficient level of provisions to cover the losses due to the eventual non-recoverability of the credits granted.

 

The credit quality by asset class for Consolidated Statements of Financial Position sheet items, based on the Bank’s credit rating system, is presented in Note No. 13 letter (d).

(3) Market Risk:

 

Market Risk refers to the loss that the Bank could face due to a liquidity shortage to honor the payments, or to close financial transactions in a timely manner (Liquidity Risk), or due to adverse movements in the values of market variables (Risk Price). For its correct management, the guidelines of the Liquidity Risk Management Policy and the Market Risk Management Policy are considered, both are subject to review, at least annually, by the Market Risk Manager and approval by the Bank’s Board of Directors, at least annually.

 

Liquidity Risk:

 

Liquidity Risk Measurement and Limits

 

The Bank manages the Liquidity Risk in accordance with the established on the Liquidity Risk Management Policy, managing separately for each sub-category thereof; this is for Trading Liquidity Risk and Funding Liquidity Risk.

 

Trading Liquidity Risk is the inability to close, at current market prices, the financial positions opened mainly from the Trading Book (which is daily valued at market prices and the value differences instantly reflected in the Income Statement). This risk is controlled by establishing limits on the positions amounts of the Trading Book in accordance with what is estimated to be closed in a short time period. Additionally, the Bank incorporates a negative impact on the Income Statement whenever it considers that the size of a certain position in the Trading Book exceeds the reasonable amount, negotiated in the secondary markets, which would allow the exposure to be offset without altering market prices.

 

Funding Liquidity Risk refers to the Bank’s inability to obtain sufficient cash to meet its immediate obligations. This risk is managed by a minimum amount of highly liquid assets called liquidity buffer, and establishing limits and controls of internal metrics, among which the Market Access Report (“MAR”) stands out, which estimates the amount of funding that the Bank would need from wholesale financial counterparties, for the next 30 and 90 days in each of the relevant currencies of the balance sheet, to face a cash need as a result of the operation under business as usual conditions.

Minimum     567       3,358     Minimum     -358  
Average     1,099       3,773     Average     183  

 

The Bank also monitors the amount of assets denominated in local currency that is funded by liabilities denominated in foreign currency, including all tenors and the cash flows generated by full delivery derivatives payments. This metric is referred to as Cross Currency Funding. The bank oversees and limits this amount in order to take precautions against not only Banco de Chile’s event but also against a systemic adverse environment generated by a country risk event that might trigger lack of foreign currency funding.

 

The use of Cross Currency Funding within the year 2024 is illustrated below:

 

    Cross Currency Funding
MUS$
 
       
Maximum     1,116  
Minimum     112  
Average     524  

 

The Bank establishes thresholds that alert behaviors outside the expected ranges at a normal or prudent level of operation, in order to protect other dimensions of liquidity risk such as, for example, maturities concentration of fund providers, the diversification of sources of funds either by type of counterparty or type of product, among others.

 

The evolution over time of the statement of financial ratios of the Bank is monitored in order to detect structural changes in the characteristics of the balance sheet, such as those presented in the following table and whose relevant values of use during the year 2024 are shown below:

 

    Liquid Assets/
Net Funding <30 days
    Liabilities>1 year/
Assets >1 year

(a) Liquidity Risk, continued:

 

Additionally, some market index, prices and monetary decisions taken by the Central Bank of Chile are monitored to detect structural changes in market conditions that can trigger a liquidity shortage or even a financial crisis.

 

Furthermore, the Liquidity Risk Management Policy enforces to perform stress tests periodically which are controlled against potentially accessible action plans in each modeled scenario, according with the guidelines established in the Liquidity Contingency Plan. This process is essential in determining the liquidity risk appetite framework of the institution.

 

The Bank measures and controls the mismatch of cash flows under regulatory standards with the C46 index report, which represents the net cash flows expected over time as a result of the contractual maturity of almost all assets and liabilities. Additionally, the Commission for the Financial Market (hereinafter, “CMF”) authorized Banco de Chile, among others, to report the adjusted C46 index. This allows the Bank to report, in addition to the regular C46 index, outflow behavior assumptions of certain specific elements of the liability, such as demand deposits and time deposits. In addition, the regulator also requires some rollover assumptions for the loan portfolio.

 

To date, the CMF establish the following dispositions for the C46 index:

 

Foreign Currency balance sheet items: 1-30 days, Regulatory Limit C46 index < 1 x Tier-1 Capital

 

The levels of use of this index during the year 2024 is illustrated below:

Additionally, the regulatory entities have introduced other metrics that the Bank uses in its management, such as the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) and Net Stable Financing Ratio (“NSFR”), using assumptions similar to those used in the international banking. For the first, the minimum level required is 1 time (100%) of the LCR indicator, while for the second the limit requirement is 0.8 times (80%) of the NSFR indicator. The evolution of the LCR and NSFR metrics during the year 2024 are shown below:

 

    LCR     NSFR  
             
Maximum     2.42       1.25  
Minimum     2.33       1.24

Regulatory Limit     1.0       0.8 (*)

 

(*) By transitory disposition of the Central Bank of Chile, in Chapter III.B.2.1 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks, this limit will gradually increase until reaching 1.0 in January 2026.

(b) Price Risk:

 

The Price Risk measurement and management processes are carried out in accordance with the established on the Market Risk Management Policy, by using internal metrics developed by the Bank, both for the Trading Book and for the Accrual Book (the Accrual Book includes all balance sheet items, including those in the Trading Book but in such case these are reported at an interest rate adjustment term of one day, thus not generating accrual interest rate risk). In addition, the portfolio recorded under the Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (hereinafter FVOCI) is considered, which is a sub-set of the Accrual Book, which given its nature is relevant to measure it independently. In addition, the Bank reports metrics to regulatory entities according to the models defined by them.

 

The Bank has established internal limits for the exposures of the Trading Book. In fact, FX positions (FX delta), interest rate sensitivities generated by the derivatives and debt securities portfolios (DV01 or also referred as to rho) and the FX options volatility sensitivity (vega) are measured, reported and controlled against their limits. Limits are established on an aggregate basis but also for some specific tenor points. The use of these limits is daily monitored, controlled and reported by independent control functions to the senior management of the bank. The internal governance framework also establishes that these limits must be approved by the board and reviewed at least annually.

 

The Bank measures and controls the risk for the Trading Book portfolios using the Value-at-Risk (VaR). The model uses a 99% confidence level and the most recent one-year observed rates, prices and yields data.

 

The use of VaR within the year 2024 is illustrated below:

    MCh$  
       
Maximum     2,605  
Minimum     894  
Average     1,576  

 

Additionally, the Bank performs measuring, limiting, controlling and reporting interest rate exposures and risks for the Accrual Book using internally developed methodologies based on the differences in the amounts of assets and liabilities considering the interest rate repricing dates. Exposures are measured according to the Interest Rate Exposure or IRE metric and their corresponding risks using the Earnings-at-Risk or EaR metric. Within these metrics, Prepayment Risk is considered, which corresponds to the customer’s ability to pay, totally or partially, their debt before maturity. For this, a loan flow allocation model is generated with exposure to interest rate fluctuations, according to their prepayment behavior, finally reflecting a decrease in their average maturity term.

The regulatory risk measurement for the Trading Book (Market Risk Weighted Assets report or mRWA) is produced by utilizing guidelines provided by the Central Bank of Chile (hereinafter, “BCCh”) and the CMF. The referred methodologies estimate the potential loss that the bank may incur considering standardized fluctuations of the value of market factors such as FX rates, interest rates and volatilities that may adversely impact the value of FX spot positions, interest rate exposures, and volatility exposures, respectively. Interest rates changes are provided by the regulatory entity; moreover, correlation factors and very conservative term are included to explain non-parallel changes in the yield curve.

 

The risk measurement for the Banking Book, according to regulatory guidelines (RMLB report by its Spanish initials), as a result of interest rate fluctuations is carried out through the use of standardized methodologies provided by regulatory entities (BCCh and CMF). The report includes models for reporting interest rate gaps and how their value varies, according to rate fluctuations that are defined by the scenarios provided by the regulations. In addition to this, the regulatory entity has requested banks to establish internal limits, separately for short-term and long-term balances, NII and EVE respectively, for these regulatory measurements.

 

The results effectively realized during the month for trading activities are controlled against defined loss levels and if these levels are exceeded, senior management is notified in order to evaluate potential corrective actions.

 

Finaly, the Market Risk Management Policy of Banco de Chile enforces to perform daily stress tests for the Trading Book and monthly for the Accrual Book. Additionally, the stress test for the FVOCI portfolio is included, which is reported daily. The output of the stress testing process is monitored against corresponding alert levels; in the case those triggers are breached, the senior management is notified in order to implement further actions, if necessary. Additionally, these book tests are a fundamental part of establishing the Bank’s price risk appetite framework.

Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis

 

The Bank uses stress tests as the main sensitivity analysis tool for Price Risk. The analysis is implemented for the Trading Book, Accrual Book and the FVOCI portfolio separately. The Bank has adopted this tool as it is considered more useful than fluctuations in business as usual scenario, such as VaR or EaR, given that:

 

(i) The financial crisis show market factors fluctuations that are materially larger than those used in the VaR with 99% of confidence level or EaR with 99% of confidence level.

 

(ii) The financial crisis also show that correlations between these fluctuations are materially different from those used in the VaR computation, since a crisis precisely indicates severe disconnections between the behaviors of market factors fluctuations respect to the patterns observed under normal conditions.

 

(iii) Trading liquidity dramatically diminishes during financial distress and especially in emerging markets. Therefore, the overnight VaR number might not be representative of the loss for trading portfolios in such environment since closing exposures period may exceed one business day. This may also happen when calculating EaR, even considering three months as the closing period.

 

The impacts are determined by mathematical simulations of fluctuations in the values of market factors, and also, estimating the changes of the economic and /or accounting value of the financial positions.

In order to comply with IFRS 9, the following exercise was included illustrating an estimation of the impact of extreme but reasonable fluctuations of interest rates, swaps yields, FX rates and exchange volatility, which are used for valuing Trading Book, Accrual Book and the FVOCI portfolio. Given that the Bank’s portfolio includes positions denominated in nominal and real interest rates, these fluctuations must be aligned with extreme but realistic Chilean inflation changes forecasts.

 

For the Trading Book, the exercise is implemented by multiplying the sensitivities by the fluctuations obtained as the results of mathematical simulations over a two-week time horizon and using the maximum historical volatility, within a significant period of time, in each of the market factor present. In the case of the FVOCI portfolio a four-week time horizon is used due to liquidity constrains; Accrual Book impacts are estimated by multiplying cumulative gaps by forward interest rates fluctuations modeled over a three-month time horizon and using the maximum historical volatility of interest fluctuations but limited by maximum fluctuations and / or levels observed within a significant period of time. It is relevant to note that the methodology might ignore some portion of the interest rates convexity, since it is not captured properly when large fluctuations are modeled. In any case, given the magnitude of the changes, the methodology may be reasonable enough for the purposes and scope of the analysis.

 

The following table illustrates the fluctuations resulting from the main market factors in the maximum stress test exercise, or more adverse, for the Trading Book.

 

The directions or signs of these fluctuations are those that correspond to those that generate the most adverse impact at the aggregate level.

The modeled scenario would generate losses in the Trading Book for Ch$15,029 million. In any case, such fluctuations would not result in material losses compared to Basic Capital or to the P&L estimate for the next 12-months.

 

The impact on the Accrual Book as of March 31, 2024, which does not necessarily mean a net loss(gain) but a greater(lower) net income from funds generation (resulting net interest rate generation), is illustrated below:

Total     (137,330 )

 

The modeled for the FVTOCI Portfolio would generate potential impacts on equity accounts for Ch$137,330 million.

 

The main negative impact on the Trading Book would occur as a result of an increase in debt instruments in CLF over 1 year, followed by an increase in CLP debt instruments over 1 year, while in the case of the FVTOCI portfolio the main impact comes from upward fluctuations in interest rates of debt instruments in CLF greater than 1 year and from the simulated corporate spread. For its part, the lowest potential income in the next 12 months in the Accrual Book would occur in a scenario of a sharp drop in nominal interest rates and inflation.

(4) Other Information related to Financial Risks:

 

a) Implementation of new reference rates in foreign currency:

 

As a consequence of the decisions made by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the recommendations of the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) made up of the Federal Reserve Board and the New York FED, from 12-31-2021 Libor rates in currencies other than US$ are no longer published, from 01-01-2022 new operations based on Libor stopped being issued and it was reported that from 06-30-2023 Libor in US$ will stop being published. As a result, it was recommended to use the US$ Libor published only in contracts in force as of 12-31-2021 up to the last date of publication of this.

 

Given the above, since 2020 the Bank enabled and implemented, in its different dimensions, the new risk-free reference rates (“RFR”) for carrying out operations in foreign currency as of 01-01-2022.

 

The process was structured in 5 phases:

 

1st phase

 

- Identification of the risks associated with the Libor transition process through the collection of information regarding the number of operations, amounts involved, remaining terms, types of products and course coins.

 

- Periodic exchange of information with the main global banks regarding the RFRs that were being defined as a replacement for Libor rates.

 

- Review of the documents published by the ARRC with its recommendations.

 

2nd phase

 

- Preparation and presentation to the CMF in the year 2021 of the situational analysis of Banco de Chile regarding the end of Libor. This included reporting on the information research carried out in the 1st stage and the impact that the end of the Libor rate had both at the level of products and at the level of Bank areas.

 

3rd phase

 

- Definition of the new RFRs to be used in the different currencies (daily SOFR, term SOFR, TONAR, SONIA, etc.)

 

- Implementation of the RFR in the Bank’s systems

 

4th phase

 

- Carrying out tests of course of financial operations to review the correct accrual of the new RFR.

 

- Preparation of documentation with the RFR.

 

5th phase

 

- Renegotiation of contracts with floating Libor rate with expiration after June 2023, in process.

b) FCA publication of April 03, 2023:

 

In November 2022, FCA announced a consultation on the possibility of continuing to publish synthetic USD LIBOR rates for 1, 3 and 6 months after the cessation of the defined LIBOR panel on June 30, 2023.

 

From the inquiry, on April 3, 2023 the FCA has announced that it will require the LIBOR panel to continue to publish 1, 3 and 6 month LIBOR rate adjustments using a ‘synthetic’ non-representative methodology.

 

Likewise, the FCA intends to cease publishing synthetic adjustments on September 30, 2024, however, it will take into account any unforeseen and material events.

 

c) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities:

 

The Bank trades financial derivatives with foreign counterparties using ISDA Master Agreement (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.), under legal jurisdiction of the City of New York – USA or London – United Kingdom. Legal framework in these jurisdictions, along with documentation mentioned, it allows Banco de Chile the right to anticipate the maturity of the transaction and then, offset the net value of those transactions in case of default of counterparty. Additionally, the Bank has negotiated with these counterparties an additional annex (CSA Credit Support Annex), that includes other credit mitigating, such as entering margins on a certain amount of net value of transactions, early termination (optional or mandatory) of transactions at certain dates in the future, coupon adjustment of transaction in exchange for payment of the debtor counterpart over a certain threshold amount, etc.

 

Below are detail the contracts susceptible to offset:

(5) Operational risk:

 

One of the Bank’s objectives is to monitor, control and maintain at adequate levels, the risk of losses resulting from a lack of adequacy or a failure of processes, personnel and/or internal systems, or due to external events. This definition includes legal risk and excludes strategic and reputational risk.

 

Operational risk is inherent in all activities, products and systems, and cuts across the entire organization in its strategic, business and support processes. It is the responsibility of all the Bank’s collaborators to manage and control the risks generated within their scope of action, since their materialization may lead to direct or indirect financial losses.

 

To face this risk, the Bank has defined a Regulatory Framework and a governance structure according to the volume and complexity of its activities. The Retail Credit Risk and Global Risk Control Division administer the management of this risk, through the establishment of an Operational Risk Management. Likewise, the “Superior Committee for Operational Risk” and the “Committee for Operational Risk” supervise it.

 

The Operational Risk Policy defines a comprehensive management model based on four main processes that ensure an adequate control environment in the organization.

 

These processes are implemented in the different areas of Operational Risk action, using various management and control tools:

(5) Operational risk, continued:

 

The aforementioned processes correspond to:

 

1. Identification and Evaluation: At Banco de Chile, this process considers internal and external factors, which allows us to better understand operational risk, and thus allocate resources and define strategies efficiently and effectively.

 

The Bank promotes the use of methodologies and procedures with the objective of guaranteeing an adequate identification and evaluation of these risks, both inherent and residual. These are executed with a frequency that allows knowing the operational risks in a timely manner.

 

2. Control and Mitigation: Determination of acceptable risk levels and mitigation actions to be applied in case of deviation from these levels. This process aims to maintain risk at adequate levels.

 

Banco de Chile will execute a set of control and mitigation tools in the different areas of management, which will make it possible to alert deviations in exposure to operational risk, where mitigation measures will be evaluated to solve them.

 

3. Monitoring and Reporting: This process aims to guarantee the monitoring of the main risks and inform the different interested parties.

 

At Banco de Chile, monitoring and reporting will consider information related to the different areas of management. If necessary, the results of the monitoring activities will be included in the relevant government instances.

 

4. Operational Risk Culture: The Operational Risk Management plans operational risk culture programs, aimed at raising awareness and training Bank employees in risk identification, control effectiveness, and event detection in their normal operating activities, so that each collaborator contributes to reduce the occurrence of risk events and mitigate their impact on the business.

 

Additionally, the comprehensive management of Operational Risk considers the following areas:

 

Fraud Management

 

Process Assessment

 

Testing of Controls

 

Event Management

 

Loss Base Management

 

Profile and Risk Appetite Framework

 

Generation of stress test models for Operational Risk

 

Supplier Management

Business Continuity:

 

The Bank in the management for the compliance with the objectives related to the delivery of the service of attention to its clients, has the Management of Business Continuity, responsible for managing the constant preparation for the safeguard of the operation of the critical products and services before situations that could affect the continuity of the organization or of the country.

 

In addition, the Business Continuity Management defines the global and regulatory framework established in the Policy and Standard, developing a consistent Continuity Plan for the Bank and its Subsidiaries, with the aim of managing the strategy and control of business continuity in operational and technological lines, maintaining alternate operation plans, controlled and simulation tests to reduce the impact of disruptive events, in addition to providing resilience to the organization by establishing comprehensive strategies to ensure the safety of the employees, protect the Bank’s assets from catastrophic scenarios, maintain relevant documentation and carry out trainings associated with this subject. Additionally, it designs and implements independent controls, through the Information Security Officer (ISO) Role.

 

That is why Business Continuity has methodologies and controls that contribute to the application of the comprehensive model and its strategy within the corporation, mainly represented in the following management areas:

 

Document Management: It consists of carrying out methodological processes of updating the documentation that supports Business Continuity in operational and technological areas, with the aim of keeping the strategy implemented in the Bank up to date and in accordance with the guidelines of Business Continuity Management (BCM).

 

Business Continuity Tests: It refers to annually scheduled contingency simulations that address the 5 risk scenarios defined for the Bank in operational and technological areas (Failure in Technology Infrastructure, Failure in Physical Infrastructure, Massive Absence of Personnel, Failure in Critical Supplier Service and Cybersecurity), allowing to maintain constant training and integration of critical personnel operating the payment chain, under the defined contingency procedures that support the Bank’s critical products and services.

48. Information on Regulatory Capital and Capital Adequacy Ratios:

 

Requirements and Capital Management:

 

The main objectives of the Bank’s capital management are to ensure the adequacy and quality of its capital, at a consolidated level, based on the adequate management of the risks it faces in its operations, establishing sufficient capital levels, through the definition of internal objectives, that supports both the business strategy in both normal and stress scenarios in the short and medium term, thus ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, coverage of its material risks, a solid credit classification and the generation of adequate capital clearances. During 2024, the Bank has met the required capital requirements and its internal sufficiency objectives.

 

As part of its Capital Management Policy, the Bank has established capital sufficiency alerts and limits approved by the Board of Directors, which are monitored by the governance structures that the Bank has established for these purposes, including the Capital Management Committee. During 2024, none of the internal alerts defined by the Bank were activated as part of the Capital Risk Appetite Framework. In this sense, the Bank manages capital based on its strategic objectives, its risk profile and its ability to generate cash flows, as well as the economic and business context in which it operates. If it requires strengthening its capital structure, the Bank may, among other options, propose to its shareholders meeting modifications to the dividend payment ratio, as well as issue basic capital, additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital instruments.

 

 

Capital Requirements

 

In accordance with the General Banking Law, the effective equity of a bank may not be less than 8% of its risk-weighted assets (RWA), net of required provisions. Additionally, it establishes that the Basic Capital may not be less than 4.5% of its APR or 3% of its total assets, net of required provisions. Regarding Tier 1 capital, corresponding to the sum of Basic Capital and Additional Tier 1 Capital, the latter in the form of bonds with no maturity date and preferred shares, it is established that it may not be less than 6% of their RWAs, net of required provisions. Likewise, banking entities must comply, as established by current regulations or regulators, with buffers and capital charges, such as the conservation buffer, the countercyclical buffer and capital charges by the systemically important buffer and/or Pillar 2.

 

Adoption of the Basel III standard

 

In 2019, the CMF began the regulatory process for the implementation of Basel III standards in Chile, as established in Law No. 21,130 that modernizes banking legislation. During the years 2020 and 2021, the CMF promulgated the different regulations for the adoption of the Basel III standard for local banking, which are applicable as of December 1, 2021. The regulation includes the standard methodologies to determine, among others, Credit, Operational and Market Risk-Weighted Assets, regulatory capital, leverage ratio and systemically important banks. Additionally, the regulations describe requirements and conditions applicable to: (i) the application of internal models for the calculation of certain risk-weighted assets, (ii) the issuance of additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital hybrid instruments, (iii) market disclosure requirements (Pillar 3), (iv) the principles for determining capital buffers (countercyclical and conservation), (v) additional requirements to which banks defined as systemically important and (vi) the criteria by which banks can be defined as atypical and subject to more exhaustive supervision, as well as additional capital requirements (Pillar 2) among others.

48. Information on Regulatory Capital and Capital Adequacy Ratios, continued:

 

On May, 2023, the Central Bank reported that its board agreed to activate the counter-cyclical core capital requirement for banks, at a local banking industry level, equivalent to 0.5% of the risk-weighted assets of banking institutions, required starting from the month of May 2024.

 

On January 16, 2024, the Financial Market Commission (CMF) reported that, as a result of the supervision process, it resolved to apply additional capital requirements of Pillar 2 of 0.5% for Banco de Chile within an implementation period of four years. This requirement must be constituted in a ratio of 25% no later than June 30, 2024. The remaining amounts for each of the following three years will be adjusted according to the result of the annual evaluation of Patrimonial Sufficiency carried out by the CMF, taking into consideration any possible modifications made to the total additional charge applicable to the Bank. Likewise, this requirement must be recognized at least 56.3% with basic capital in proportion to the minimum legal requirements.

 

On April 1, 2024, the CMF reported the result of the annual review of the banks’ systemic importance rating, maintaining an additional basic capital charge of 1.25% of the APR for Banco de Chile, payable in accordance to the gradualness defined by the regulations, so the capital charge required as of December 2024 will be equivalent to 75% of said percentage. CMF did not report additional requirements linked to Banco de Chile’s status as a systemic bank.

 

The aforementioned Basel III banking solvency standards consider a series of transitory regulations. These measures include: i) the gradual adoption of the conservation buffer, requirements for systemic banks, ii) the gradual application of adjustments to regulatory capital, iii) the temporary substitution of additional tier 1 capital (AT1) for tier 2 capital instruments, that is, subordinated bonds and additional provisions, completed in November 2023 and iv) gradualness to continue recognizing subordinated bonds issued by banking subsidiaries as effective equity, among other matters.
