Macau’s economy in 2014 recorded a decrease of 0.4% in GDP in real terms, as a result of the drop in gaming revenues.

The slowdown of growth in Mainland China’s economy is having a negative impact in Macau’s economy, as the territory is considered the world capital of the gaming indus-try. Although the sectors of MICE and retail have continued gaining importance, Macau’s economy is highly dependent on external factors, namely the number and the expenditure of tourists visiting the city, who in their majority come from Mainland China.

Apart from the drop of 2.6% in gaming revenues, Macau had an increase of 7.5% in the number of visitors to the territory (visitors from Mainland China increased by 14.1%) and a 3.5% decrease in visitor’s per capita expenditure.

On the other hand, the private consumption and government expenses registered a growth of 5.9% and 7.1% respectively in 2014.

In 2014, the investment showed an increase of 35.2%, for which contributed mainly the private investment with 41.4%, mostly related with big touristic and entertainment projects.

The exports of goods recorded, in 2014, an increase of 20.7%, whilst the exports of services suffered a reduction of 6.3% as a consequence of the slowdown in the gaming industry.

The recorded unemployment rate in 2014, was 1.7%, a slight drop compared to 1.8% re-corded in the previous year, confirming a full employment situation in the local economy, which implies an upward pressure in wages and greater difficulties for firms in getting hu-man resources. Simultaneously, the inflation rate reached 6.1% in 2014, slightly up when compared with previous year.

Despite of headwinds faced by the local economy, the banking sector still benefited from the economic expansion registered in the Macau SAR. Although the banking business is in a more competitive environment, due to the large international banks seeking to gain market share, which has had an immediate effect in terms of operations’ profitability decline, in the local market.

Banco Nacional Ultramarino, S.A. represents the CGD Group in Macau, continuing to develop its activities in commercial bank-ing and is one of the two Notes Issuing Banks in Macau, a terri-tory in which the monetary circulation has been growing con-tinuously.

In 2014, BNU registered a 29.9% growth in credit granted to cli-ents as opposed to a decrease of 6.7% in customer’s deposits. Loans to retail and SME clients were the main drivers in increas-ing credits granted.

The decrease registered in customers’ deposits is a result of the drop in deposits from institutional depositors. The deposits from retail banking have grown by 12.2%.

The net interest income of BNU was 10.1% higher than that in the previous year, due to the increase of business volume. The net commission income increased by 22.1%.

The overdue loan ratio for more than 90 days has increased from 0.3% to 0.4%, whilst the coverage of overdue loans for more than 90 days by total provisions in 2014 reached 306.0%.

The highlights of the activity of BNU in 2014 were an in-crease of the business volume and the expansion of the Bank’s operations in several of its core business areas.

Interbank interest rates of almost zero percent, also af-fected the Bank’s profitability, given that its balance sheet is characterized by very high liquid levels.

Net income reached MOP 443.3 million in 2014, an in-crease of 10.1% over MOP 402.6 million recorded in 2013, mainly due to the increase in the net interest income by 10.1%. Non-Interest Income increased by 25.6% in 2014.

Operating costs increased by 8.8%, higher than the infla-tion, mainly due to the opening of four new branches in the second half of 2013, whose costs were fully reflected in 2014. Regarding the provisions for overdue credit, it was regis-tered an increase of 19.2% in 2014, whilst provisions for overall credit risks were 243.7% higher than previous year due to the growth of the credit portfolio. The net provisions increased 274.0% when compared with the previous year.

Net interest income was 10.1% higher than the previous year, amounting to MOP 575.6 million, an increase of MOP 52.9 million over the MOP 522.7 million recorded in 2013.

In spite of the increase of 5.7% in interest income, the interest expense has record-ed a decrease of 0.3%, as a result of the drop of institutional clients’ deposits.

The prime rate remained unchanged at 5.25% p.a. throughout the year.

The rise in net interest income was the result of increase of interest income from loans to clients and a decrease of the interest paid to customer’s de-posits.

Aiming to develop BNU for fully exploring the business opportunities arising from Ma-cau’s economic development and on-going diversification, the Bank continued the transformation process with the support of international strategic consultants. A new strategic check-up was performed identifying new strategies and actions to continu-ously follow the market demand and improve the level of service.

As in previous years, under the guidance of team leaders, the actions defined are pro-gressively being developed and implemented with already a significant impact in the Bank’s activity in the current and in future years.

The model of management established by the Project includes constant monitoring by a Program Management Office (PMO) that has the responsibility of coordinating all the planned initiatives and follow up. Any deviation or delay is duly noted, and appropriate corrections implemented upon due analyses and decisions, so the defined calendar can be achieved. The results of the implementation of the transformation project have been materialized and will continue to post a significant impact in the Bank’s activity in forthcoming years. The Bank continues to pursue the excellence of services to custom-ers with new products’ offer and with solutions to the investors.

RetAil BAnking

The Bank’s retail activities in 2014 maintained a good level of expansion due to the consolidation of the business of the new Branches opened in 2013; good performance of the affluent segment - Advantage -; optimization of the commercial structure; new commercial tools and increased focus of the marketing actions.

The four new Branches opened in 2013 comfortably beat the expectations for 2014. The Advantage segment, maintained a high level of cross-selling, have grown more than 50.0% on credit. The creation of a structure, within the retail banking division, dedi-cated to follow the property agents, car dealers and corporate protocols allowed, with the cooperation of Marketing Department, to consolidate and better exploit business opportunities within the most important private customers segments. Simultaneously,

the introduction of new commercial tools and the start of the Branch Efficiency Project improved the time allocated, by the front line staff, to the commercial activ-ity and their productivity.

The higher level of competitiveness among banks, specially on deposits, along with the lack of sufficient human resources were the biggest challenges to the Bank’s activities in 2014.

for 2015, although it is expected the maintenance of the above pressures and a slight decrease on the growth of the housing loan market, in part due to diminishing gam-ing revenues - the Bank is confident that with the prosecution of the Branch Efficiency Project, commercial productivity will improve and with adequate approach to BNU relevant retail segments, retail banking will maintain the same level of activity growth achieved in 2014.

pRivAte BAnking AnD institutionAl clients

following the successful transformation of Private Banking and Institutional Clients, businesses in both segments showed a continued growth in 2014. The increase of businesses was driven by launching of new products and services as well as more pro-active response to meet clients’ financial needs.

In private banking business, new products and services includes currency leverage products, banking service package tailored for overseas clients and discretionary asset management services. These products and services were well accepted by customers, showing a double digit growth in assets in 2014.

In institutional customer business, co-oper-ation with the Government sector has been smooth. New service is under development and will be launched in the first semester of 2015. Long term products were concluded with satisfactory result. Solid business rela-tionship is being managed well, especially with highly solvent and liquid institutional clients.

coRpoRAte Division

The Corporate Division contin-ued closely cooperating with the Macau SAR enterprises and has achieved a significant and strategic growth on loans and deposits. for those enterprises, the Bank aims to launch some specific products to better satisfy their needs in 2015. The one-stop services including payroll, credit card acquiring and other services will be further pro-moted as before to consolidate and build up a better relationship with the clients. All in all, the Bank maintains the positive view on 2015 objective for the confidence in BNU products and services to take advantage of the local eco-nomic opportunities.

lARge coRpoRAte Division

In 2014 the business growth for Large Corporate Division developed positively compared with the last two years. Business growth on the credit side was a fruitful year in which the Bank has participated in new syndicated loans and high value corporate loans. furthermore, the gaming and hos-pitality syndicated loans started the draw-down requests due to the large scale con-struction payments happening at the Cotai area projects.

In 2015, it is expected a continued growth on the credit side from drawdown of ex-isting syndicated loans, refinancing of the existing facilities as well as new syndicated loans for the upcoming projects at the Co-tai area. Given the volatility in the sector, the deposit business will be a challenging year ahead for the Division.

In 2015, Large Corporate Division will con-tinue to recruit new clients, explore intra group cooperate financing opportunities, being in line with the Bank´s strategy on cross-selling and value proposition of the corporate clients.

In the year of 2014, Card Centre had faced various challenges from service demands as well as the control measures to upgrade the security standards.

Regarding products, the Bank launched a new affinity card “Administração do Condomínio fa Seng hong Tou Wai Yip VISA”. This card will not only provide an affinity card service to the residents, but also contribute as a financial support to the community via a percentage of the sales that will go into a fund in order to support benefits for the elderly and provide education prizes.

In other services, the Bank implemented a mass upgrade of credit limit and card product to serve the clients to a higher level of convenience and prestige. furthermore, it was launched the “fundo de Segurança Social” payment collection service in the Bank’s ATM network.

On the acquiring business, the Bank partnered with first Data Merchant Solutions (fDMS), giving the opportu-nity to improve the Bank’s merchant acquisition process through the partnership of this multi-national acquirer, and also recruited the high quality merchants into the BNU portfolio.

The year of 2014 was also a very important year for security and fraud prevention, with large emphasis being placed upon these principles in the form of several mandates or new requirements issued by AMCM and the various Card Associations which BNU closely followed to ensure a full compliance. Another achievement to note was the successful completion of the mass migration to EMV Chip-based debit cards and VISA card.

Looking forward to 2015, the Bank will launch new BNU Co-Brand VISA Credit Card with a mileage program as well as the BNU Triple Currency Credit Card. These new products, along with other new products and ser-vices, will allow the bank to continue aiming for the goal to strengthen the card services in the Macau industry.

MARketing

During 2014 the Bank has privileged the promotion of strategic products and services, aiming to retain and increase its customer base, as well as to improve the quality of its portfolio, through a more specialized man-agement of customer segments.

In terms of products, the Bank had promoted specifically the “BNU Payroll Plus”, a payroll account that works as an anchor-account, as well as the “BNU housing Loan” that stabilizes the portfolio and works like an exit barrier.

from April to June, a “BNU Payroll Plus” promotion campaign was run which included the production of new promotion materials, a direct mailing to selected clients with pre-approved limits.

In terms of “BNU housing Loan” it was produced new promotion materials, including animated LEDs and rephrased the promotion message, which clearly indicates the lowest interest rate achievable by BNU’s clients.It were produced direct mailings with the BNU offers to civil servants, casinos and UMAC staff, to support the road shows held in most of their premises.

Among the other Marketing initiatives, it should be highlighted on the migration of all the BNU debit cards to chip technology.

Under the scope of the Trade Liaison Office (TRAOf) it should be highlighted the support to the visit of Portu-guese entrepreneurs to Macau, in cooperation specially with CGD, as well as the visit of his Excellency, the President of Portugal, in May 2014.

The 35th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relations between China and Portugal was duly covered in special editions of the Portuguese newspaper “Expresso” and in the Chinese newspaper “International Business Daily”.

HuMAn ResouRces

Along the year, BNU like most of other companies is facing high staff turnover due to very low un-employment rate in Macau. This makes the new staff recruitment much more difficult than in previ-ous years. In order to keep working team stable, BNU is recruiting staff through different channels, e.g. staff referral program, local newspaper and website advertisement, BNU website, executive search as well as importing staff from other regions. On the other hand, BNU is proactively retaining the staff by better understanding and fulfilling their needs. Opportunities are offered to fresh gradu-ates to work in different departments for gaining experience.

A bigger effort was put on training. Through discussion with Division and Department heads, are gathering comments on how to suit the needs for improving the skills and knowledge of staff to better handle their jobs.

To be more efficient and reduce paper, a web based appraisal system was implemented in 2014.

To face the changes and competition in the market and with more demand from customers for high level services 24hr a day, in 2014, Call Center was restructured by merging the phone banking service with 24hrs credit card authorization room service. With this strategic merger, BNU Call Center has turned into a multi-channel contact center which can exert its function to provide a more convenient and comprehensive 24 hour round the clock service to both customers and merchants. The services include: general phone banking services, customers email communication, emergency card services, credit and debit card general services and card authorization services designated to merchants.

In 2014, the team was reinforced by hiring more customer service officers to attend the cus-tomers’ calls professionally with the objective to increase customer’s loyalty and reverse churn.During the year, the Call Center premises were renovated to a new look, with more comfort-able and pleasant working environment decorated with professional image for establishment of sense of belongings and team work spirit.

A quality assurance program -mystery shopping-, was carried out with the cooperation of an independent and experienced third party to ensure the service quality and measure the perfor-mance of the Call Center. A plan of action was implemented based on the investigation result from the mysterious shopping for improvement of the weak areas.

Moreover, on-going training is provided to staff to improve the staff’s communication skills and job knowledge was ongoing. KPI linked with staff incentive for service excellence was estab-lished for motivation and recognition of the staff performance.

for the upcoming year, in order to continuously serve better and provide differentiated servic-es to BNU customers, the call center system will be upgraded with enhanced system features and functions catering for the growth of the banking business. Telemarketing activities that can generate sales at a very low cost is also our objective to achieve. We are continuously moving onward to deserve for being the best in the industry.

it systeMs

The Bank continued to invest heavily on its information tech-nology to strengthen its technology capability and improve customer service and product innovation. To cope with the organizational transformation project, comprehensive reor-ganization and automation of existing operations were done. This allowed greater synergies and reduced operating costs without compromise to the service quality. The processing capability and infrastructure components of Online Banking and ATM system were upgraded in order to handle the in-creasing volume of transactions. The core banking system was revamped to meet the requirement of fATCA. The card processing system was also upgraded to be in compliance of PCI standard that ensures sensitive information is protected in the most secure manner. A new Anti-Money Laundry system was in use to support a more comprehensive review on sus-picious banking activities, risk analysis and reporting. Installa-tion of multiple function ATM was made available to provide customers the convenience in performing cash deposit and other ATM transactions at one stop. In addition, a mobile ver-sion of BNU website was launched to allow customers to ac-cess the banking product information through mobile phone at anytime and anywhere.

tReAsuRy

In 2014 the Treasury pursued liquidity management policies geared towards more efficient utilization of available liquidity aiming to maximize returns within a tight framework of liquidity risk management. To this end priority was given to higher return, liquid and high quality invest-ments along the yield curve especially in mid-term transactions both funded and unfunded. Special attention was given to the development of the CNY client deposit basis by the adop-tion of investment policies both locally and in Mainland China which boosted competitiveness in this sector and contributed for a significant growth of the currency on the Bank’s balance sheet.

In a continuous effort for financial products offer diversification, the Treasury researched and developed a number of investment products that launched throughout the year which con-tributed significantly for the maintenance of a competitive presence in a challenging market. A significant development was the introduction of the first Macau based Discretionary Manage-ment program developed in house and now available for high net worth individuals, institu-tions and corporate entities.

In keeping the developments with international legislation the Treasury participated in BNU’s implementation of its fATCA policies in what regards in correspondent banking relationships. New relationships were sought and old ones have been revitalized in an effort to maintain BNU’s presence in the local financial institution community.

In fulfillment of its role as a Note Issuing bank, BNU, through its Treasury, ensured adequate supplies of banknotes in a fast growing circulation environment. The process of distribution of the Zodiac notes was notable in a year where two different notes, the horse and the Goat, were distributed jointly.

oRgAnizAtion & pRoceDuRes

In 2014, the branch efficiency project had the aim to off load branch administrative work to back office and optimize exist-ing workflow to benchmark with the best market practices. During the project, a total of nine key processes were identi-fied with improvement opportunities and workflow optimiza-tion in the sense of automation, simplification, centralization or elimination. Project implementation will mainly be carried out in 2015. These key processes include optimizing account opening procedures, credit and debit card issuing processes, business process management, digitalization of document and branch layout improvement. Below quick wins were implemented dur-ing the first visit:

› Centralized early loan repayment and “titulos” operation;› Eliminated unnecessary procedures for reactivating dor-

mant accounts;› Simplified staff transaction process and courier service be-

tween branches and back office;› Established SLA and improved workflow between branches

and back office by conducting error reduction sessions on a bi-monthly basis.

In April 2014, BNU has registered as fATCA Participating foreign financial Institution. Consequently in July, the new account on boarding policy was implemented.

TheholdingcompanyoftheBankisCaixaGeraldeDepósitos,S.A.incorporatedin Portugal. The principal activities of the Bank are the provision of banking and related financial services. The address of the registered office of the Bank is Av. Almeida Ribeiro, No. 22, Macau.

The financial statements are presented in Macau Pataca (“MOP”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Bank.

signiFicAnt Accountingpolicies

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain proper-ties that are measured at revalued amounts, as ex-plained in the accounting policies set out below.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Normas de Relato financeiro (“financial Reporting Standards of Macau SAR”).

Revenue Recognition

Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it is accrued on a time basis, except in the case of non-accrual loans and advances to customers where interest is recorded in an off-balance sheet account, and is not rec-ognised in the income statement.

Non-accrual loans and advances to customers represent the credit exposures which are overdue for more than 3 months. Interest income from non-accrual loans and ad-vances to customers is directly credited to profit when the interest is subsequently recovered.

loAns AnD ADvAnces to custoMeRs

Loans and advances to customers are stated in the balance sheet after deducting specific and general provisions for possible losses. Provisions are made against specific advances when management has doubts on the ultimate recoverability of principal or interest. Specific provision is made to reduce the carrying amount of loans and advances to custom-ers, net of any collateral, to the expected net realisable value based on management’s assessment of the potential losses on those identified advances, and with reference to the requirements of AMCM. The provi-sions are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made when consid-ered necessary by management.

In addition, amounts have been set aside as provision for loans and ad-vances to customers based on past experience of collecting payments, as well as cross-border exposures, and are maintained with reference to the requirements of AMCM.

When there is no realistic prospect of recovery, the outstanding loans and advances to customers are written off.

investMents in secuRities

Investments in unlisted equity securities are carried at cost less any identified impairment losses.

Investments in debt securities are carried at amortised cost less any identified impairment losses.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is ob-jective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the recover-able amount estimated by management. Impairment losses are re-versed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investment’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occur-ring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of that asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Amounts have been set aside as provision for cross border expo-sures and are maintained with reference to the requirements of AMCM.

oFF BAlAnce sHeet DeRivAtive FinAnciAl instRuMents

Derivative financial instruments including interest rate swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts are used primarily to hedge the Bank’s exposures to inter-est rate and foreign exchange risks, arising from operational, financing and investment activities.

The interest arising from the interest rate deriva-tive instruments is recognised in the income state-ment as interest income or interest expense. The gain or loss arising from the settlement of foreign exchange derivative instruments is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The derivative financial instruments are recorded off balance sheet.

pRopeRties AnD eQuipMent

Properties and equipment held for use in the supply of services or for administrative purposes are stated at cost, deemed cost or fair value, as appropriate, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The Bank has adopted the revaluation model for land and buildings since 2011. Land and buildings held for use in the supply of services or for administrative purposes are stated in the balance sheet at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from those that would be determined using fair value at the end of the year.

Any revaluation increase arising on revaluation of land and buildings is recognised and accumulated in the revaluation reserve, ex-cept to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in net carrying amount arising on revaluation of an asset is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, on the revaluation reserve relat-ing to a previous revaluation of that asset. Depreciation on revalued buildings is recognized in profit or loss. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued asset, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained profits.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost or valuation of items of properties and equipment (other than freehold land) over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each year, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.

leAsing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

tHe BAnk As lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

leAseHolD lAnD AnD BuilDings

The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case, the entire lease is generally treated as a fi-nance lease and accounted for as properties and equip-ment.

iMpAiRMent

At each balance sheet date, the Bank re-views the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indi-cation that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the car-rying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense imme-diately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the as-set is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impair-ment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an im-pairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

tAxAtion

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Bank’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the correspond-ing tax base used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be avail-able against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are ex-pected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Bank expects, at the end of the year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised directly in equity respectively.

FoReign cuRRencies

In preparing the financial statements of the entity, transac-tions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the func-tional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of mon-etary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

RetiReMent BeneFit costs

Payments to defined contribution retire-ment benefit plans are charged as an ex-pense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

pRovisions

Provisions are recognised when the Bank has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Bank will be required to settle that obligation. Provi-sions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to set-tle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
