1st Quarter 2018^(*) (unaudited accounts)

1st Quarter 2018 confirms CGD to be on the right track, with a consolidated net profit of €68 million.

Highlights

Following the successful conclusion of the first year of the CGD 2020 Strategic Plan, CGD started 2018 with a quarter of clear progression in its path towards profitability, efficiency and asset quality.
Consolidated net income reached €68.0 million, exceeding the negative €38.6 million in the same quarter last year, and the €51.9 million obtained for the entirety of 2017.

Special reference should be made to the following:

CGD Portugal’s net interest income of €182.9 million, was up 6.1% over the same period of the preceding year despite the drop in consolidated net interest income (-1.1%), adversely impacted by foreign exchange effects.
Commissions were up 9.4% (+€9.9 million) in first quarter 2018 over the end of March 2017. In Portugal, the 13.8% increase reflect the measures of the strategic plan implemented in 2017.
The 11.3% reduction (- €30.5 million) in recurring operating costs⁽¹⁾ derived from the consistent action on employee costs (down 8.4%), general administrative costs (down 12.5%) and depreciation and amortisation (down 28.1%).
The reduced cost of credit risk of 0.22% reflecting net credit impairments of €33.4 million for the quarter.

The core operating result was up 27.3% over March 2017 to €173.1 million. Cost-to-core income evolved favourably, reaching 58.0%. Both indicators benefited from the already referred to growth of commissions and implementation of cost reductions.
Net income for 1st quarter 2018 was €68 million, impacted by €10.7 million from non-recurring costs net of tax.
The evolution of CGD’s asset quality was favourable, with NPLs (non performing loans) according to the EBA’s definition, down €592 million (or 7.5% over December 2017), given the positive evolution of sales, cures and recoveries.
CGD reduced its NPL by €3.3 billion in the last five quarters, down 30.9% when compared to December 2016.
The NPL ratio stood at 11.4% at the end of the quarter, with impairment and collateral coverage of 60.1% and 44.4% respectively at the same date (total coverage of 104.5%).
CGD’s activity continued to benefit from customer resources stability, which amounted to €68,868 million from domestic activity, including off-balance sheet products (investment and pensions funds, financial insurance and OTRV) which amounted to € 19,479 million.
The liquidity position at the end of March 2018 was highly favourable, with an LCR (liquidity coverage ratio) of 241.3% and providing CGD eligible assets included in the Eurosystem pool amounting to €13.5 billion.
The phased-in and fully implemented CET1 ratios, in March, were both 13.6%. The phased-in Tier 1 and Total ratios stood at 14.7% and 15.3%, respectively, easily complying with the capital requirements in force for CGD.
These capital ratios include the full impacts of the implementation of IFRS 9 (-0.25%), the phased-in ratio for 2018 (-0.06%) and the deduction of irrevocable commitments associated with mandatory contributions (-0.35%). The reduction of risk-weighted assets across the quarter produced an increase of 0.25%.
The track set by CGD to fulfill the objectives of the Strategic Plan for 2018, evidenced clear progress in the first quarter of 2018.
