(Unaudited financial information)

Third quarter results confirm an increase in core profitability and improved asset quality following the successful implementation of the Strategic Plan acknowledged by a rating upgrade.

Highlights

CGD’s consolidated activity continued to be positively impacted by the implementation of its strategic plan which generated net income of €369.3 million, in the first nine months of 2018, equivalent to a ROE(1) (return on equity) of 6.7%;
This level of profitability, above the forecast set out in CGD’s strategic plan for 2018 (5%), reflects the evolution of the following accounts:
- CGD Portugal’s net interest income was up 4.0% over the first nine months of 2017 to €546.4 million. Consolidated net interest income, impacted by adverse foreign exchange effects in Angola and Macau was down 2.4% to €886.5 million;
- An improvement of 8.8% in net fees and commissions in the first nine months of 2018, in comparison to the same period 2017;
- A visible 12.4% reduction in operating costs(2);
The maintenance of a low cost of credit risk of 0.26%, confirming the quality of CGD’s assets as well as their coverage ratio;
Net core operating income before impairments was up 23% over the end of the first nine months of 2017 to €554 million;

CGD’s total operating income of €1,330.1 million, in the first nine months of 2018, was down €195.7 million year-on-year 2017, having been sharply impacted by the expected reduction of net trading income, owing to its highly expressive proportion in 2017;

CGD’s efficiency level continued to progress favourably with a cost-to-income ratio of 51%;
Net income of €369.3 million in the first nine months of 2018 was sharply up over the negative €46.8 million of September 2017;
CGD’s asset quality continued to show remarkable improvement with the CGD Group NPL (non-performing loans) ratio reaching 9.6%, when considering the sale of a credit portfolio concluded in early October;
Without considering the effect of this disposal, the NPL ratio at the end of the third quarter was 10.5%, with impairment and collateral coverage ratios on the said date of 61.5% and 42.1% respectively (total coverage ratio of 103.5%);
Total resources continue to benefit from the preference of CGD’s customers with domestic activity comprising a total amount of €70,968 million;
Increase of 26% in new mortgage lending operations, an increase of 230 million euros compared to the first nine months of 2017;
New factoring and confirming operations increased by 18%, equipment and property leasing by 38% and 26%, respectively, over the first nine months of 2017;
Credit evolution marked by the reduction of NPL’s. Nonetheless, the performing credit stock is up 3% over the same period last year;
CGD continued to enjoy a highly favourable liquidity status with €11.9 billion in eligible assets included in the Eurosystem pool and an LCR (liquidity coverage ratio) of 253%;
The phased-in and fully implemented CET 1 ratios both stood at 14.6%. The phased-in tier 1 and total ratios of 15.6% and 17.0%, were indicative of the robustness of CGD’s capital position, even without any phasing in period for the implementation of IFRS 9 in first quarter 2018;
CGD’s performance in implementing its strategic plan and the completion of its recapitalisation plan in 2018, together with the favourable economic environment in Portugal, were reflected in Moody’s two notch upgrade of CGD’s rating from Ba3 to Ba1, in October.
