2nd Qtr 2012 Results:
Profitable Growth, Solid Roots
HIGHLIGHTS
· BCH turned into the bank with the highest rating in LatAm as S&P raised its long-term credit rating from A to A+.
· We continued to beat the threshold of Ch$100 Bn. in quarterly results, remaining leader in net income and the most profitable bank in Chile.
· In the 2Q12 we reached the first place in total loans with a 19.2% market share.
· BCH was recognized as the Bank with the Greatest Value Creation in the Chilean banking industry.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Arturo Tagle, CEO: We maintain a solid performance that has allowed us to hold the lead position in net income and profitability within the Chilean banking industry. Similarly, in the 2Q12 we returned to the first place in total loans and believe that we are in good standing to maintain a leading position over the year, which has been reinforced by the long-term credit rating upgrade we received from S&P based on our strong position in credit risk. While we recognize the concerns regarding the outlook and the revised forecasts for the global economy, we believe the demand for credits should not be significantly impacted by these factors as we continue to see encouraging macroeconomic figures in terms of unemployment and GDP growth. Also, in the second semester we expect to prioritize an attractive risk-return relationship by focusing on retail banking. In this line, we continue strengthening our residential mortgage and credit card businesses, while consolidating our presence in SME by reaching the top of the industry in granting government-secured loans during the 1H12. We aim to supplement these actions with projects that came true beneath our Consumer Finance Division, such as the Micro-Enterprises Banking and Cajas Chile, which provide low-income customers with more access to the banking system and translate into long-term profitable growth for us.
Mauricio Baeza, Corporate Risk Manager: Im glad to share with you the credit rating upgrade we achieved in the 2Q12. As inferred from S&Ps press release, this upgrade is supported by our robust risk policies, which have permitted us to bear potential credit losses that in a long-term view have been consistently below the industrys average and our peers while we hold a low exposure to proprietary trading. These attributes supplement our loan diversification, adequate capital and funding, as well as strong business position. We believe this scenario should not significantly change in the future. In fact, though we have slightly raised our ratio of loan loss provisions due to a tempered slowdown in the local economy and a higher growth in our retail banking loan book, our asset quality measured as NPL ratio remains the best among our peers, the same as our coverage ratio.
Pedro Samhan, CFO: Our performance has been strongly supported by a higher operating efficiency, thank to synergies that came up from the merger with Citibank Chile, cost control plans and increasing productivity. Regarding the latter, we have gained significant economies of scale as a consequence of the growth in our business volumes that has gone along with the expansion of our distribution network and steady headcount. Also, we have succeeded in improving branch productivity and targeting customer segments. As a result, we have reduced our cost-to-income ratio by 226 bp. YoY in a scenario of flat operating revenues. Similarly, our cost-to-assets ratio decreased 51 bp. YoY. We still have room to improve our efficiency in the future based on a greater business scale, trained human resources and continuously-evaluated operating processes.

Business Environment:
Chilean Economy
· During 2012 the Chilean economy has maintained a solid economic growth despite the financial stress faced by developed countries and a moderate slowdown in emerging markets.
· In the 2Q12, the local economy posted a 5.4% expansion which translated into a 5.5% YoY advance as of June 30, 2012. The domestic demand has been the main driver for this growth, especially fostered by sectors such as Commerce, Services and Construction.
· As for inflation, after a sharp rise in the 4Q11, the CPI has returned to the Central Banks target range, basically due to the downward trend observed in consumer goods (food and fuel). As of Jun-12 CPI accumulated a 2.7% YoY advance.
· Regarding monetary policy, based on the developments observed in global and local markets, the Central Bank has taken a neutral bias since Jan-12, maintaining the monetary policy interest rate unchanged at 5.0%.
· Consensus estimates have determined a more positive outlook as compared to the previous quarter. Thus, the market agents are expecting a 4.8% GDP growth, inflation around 2.4% (though with a downward bias) and a monetary policy interest rate at 5.0% as of December 31, 2012, since market factors would not exert significant pressures on inflation or domestic demand.

Business Environment:
Local Banking Industry
· In the 2Q12, the industry posted a 18.2% (Ch$89 Bn.) YoY decrease in net income, mainly due to greater operating expenses (+13.2% YoY or Ch$96 Bn.) and increasing loan loss provisions (+5.3% YoY or Ch$13 Bn.) as a result of a volume effect associated with the loan book growth that was partly offset by specific credit risk events in the 2Q11 related to corporate customers. The above was partly offset by operating revenues that grew (+1.3% YoY or Ch$20 Bn.) in spite of being affected by lower inflation in the 2Q12 as compared to the 2Q11.
· Accordingly, the industry maintains lower ROAE levels than a year earlier due to lower net income and into a lesser extent - capital increases completed by the most important banks in 2011. In this scenario, Banco de Chile remains the most profitable bank with a 22.2% ROAE, followed by Santander with 20.2% ROAE.
· As for loan growth, the banking system recorded a significant 18.3% YoY increase in total loans, though about 2.2% of this rise is explained by Corpbancas new operations in Colombia.
· The YoY increase in total loans has to do with a still dynamic commercial activity faced by companies, along with a labor market that maintains low unemployment rates and encourages customers to borrow.
· Regarding market share in total loans, excluding Corpbancas operations in Colombia, worth mentioning are the annual gains posted by that player (+130 bp.) and BBVA (+32 bp.), mainly related to commercial loans granted to corporations. On the other hand, while Banco de Chile and BCI showed a flat trend in market share, Santander posted a loss of 198 bp. YoY.

Banco de Chile:
Net Income
Despite a less dynamic economic environment, in the 2Q12 we maintained a solid track record and the lead position in net income with a 26.8% market share. In the 2Q12 our earnings totalled Ch$107 billion, 6.2% below the 2Q11s figure and under the remarkable last quarter amount of Ch$121 billion. Our performance was the result of:
· Lower inflation that translated into a UF variation of +0.4% in the 2Q12 as compared to the +1.4% in the 2Q11, which resulted in a lower contribution from our UF asset positions funded with peso-denominated liabilities and equity.
· Greater provisions for loan losses explained by both the volume effect associated with our loan growth and the upward trend in overdue loans within the Chilean industry.
· A YoY decrease in fees and commissions, mostly prompted by lower income from specialized financial services
The above was mostly offset by:
· A loan portfolio that continues to show significant, though lower, YoY growth rates, which is supplemented by greater balances of peso-denominated non-interest bearing liabilities amid a scenario of slightly higher nominal interest rates YoY.
· Controlled operating expenses due to gains in productivity, cost control policies and one-off expenses related to the collective bargaining agreement reached in 2011.
As a result, our ROAE reached 22.2% in the 2Q12, which is 4.3% below the 2Q11s figure. However, we hold an undisputed lead position in profitability in the Chilean industry that posted 15.1% ROAE in the 2Q12.

Banco de Chile:
Operating Revenues
Our operating revenues showed a flat trend in the 2Q12 by posting a slight 0.2% YoY decrease, from Ch$327 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$326 billion in the 2Q12. Worth noting is that operating revenues from our customer-based core business enabled us to offset abnormal temporary market forces (such as inflation) that should return to mid-term values as long as the economic activity goes up.
Therefore, the main forces that prompted this YoY change were:
· A loan portfolio that keeps growing, especially in lending products oriented to high and mid-income individuals, as well as SMEs, which fuelled a higher YoY rise in retail than wholesale banking loans.
· An 11.1% YoY increase in non-interest bearing liabilities (such as current accounts and demand deposits) average balances and into a lesser extent a monetary policy interest rate that averaged 5.0% in the 2Q12 vis-à-vis 4.7% in the 2Q11.
· A positive exchange rate effect on the asset position in US$ that hedges our loan loss provisions related to loans denominated in that currency due to a 2.6% rise in the exchange rate in the 2Q12 as compared to the 2.3% decrease in the 2Q11.
The above was partly offset by:
· Lower contribution from our UF net asset position due to the lower inflation rate in the 2Q12 as compared to the 2Q11.
· A 6.4% YoY decrease in fees and commissions mainly due to lower revenues from specialized financial services such as mutual funds and stock brokerage, which is in line with investors that reduced their exposure to stocks amid volatile global and local markets. These factors were partly offset by greater fees income from credit cards and cash management services.

Provisions for Loan Losses
Our provisions for loan losses rose from Ch$37 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$50 billion in the 2Q12, which represented a 35.5% YoY increase and translated into a 15 bp. YoY rise in our ratio of provisions for loan losses to average loans. The rise in provisions was mainly fostered by:
· A volume effect related to the 16.9% YoY rise in our total loans average based on double-digit growth in every lending family.
· A mix effect, steered by a higher growth in retail banking average loans (18.5% YoY), especially in new clients and credit cards users, as compared to the advance in wholesale banking (+14.7% YoY).
· The moderate rise in past-due across the industry that is based on social and regulatory issues rather than economic forces. Though this is a global phenomenon, after peaks in the 4Q11 and the 1Q12, it is now smoothing out in Chile, where customer is recognized as a responsible and reliable borrower.
· A negative exchange rate effect related to a US$/Ch$ decrease in the 2Q11 and an increase in the 2Q12 that resulted in greater provision associated with US$-denominated loans.
Due to the above and as we mentioned in the 1Q12, we have reinforced our collection procedures and tightened our credit-granting criteria for low-income customers, all of which has resulted in a reversion in our overdue indicators. Actually, though our NPL ratio posted a slight 8 bp. YoY rise, it is 7 bp. below the figure posted in the 1Q12 (1.15%). Also, worth mentioning is that our NPL ratio remains well below the average of 2.46% posted by the industry in the 2Q12. In terms of coverage, we maintained the highest coverage ratio and the greatest amount of countercyclical allowances among privately-owned banks in Chile.

Banco de Chile:
Operating Expenses
In line with our strategic priorities, our cost base remains under control. Actually, after the merger we have been able to obtain significant synergies and gain economies of scale as a result of the important growth in assets and the expansion in our branch network, all of which has translated into higher efficiency.
Accordingly, our operating expenses decreased from Ch$164 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$156 billion, which translated into a 4.7% YoY shrink. This variation was mostly supported by lower other operating expenses that decreased from Ch$31 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$13 billion in the 2Q12, mainly as a result of contingency provisions that totalled Ch$22.4 billion in the 2Q11 in order to reflect the effect of collective bargaining agreements that were under negotiation.
The above was partly offset by:
· Personnel expenses that rose 10.2% YoY based on higher average salaries as a result of the previously mentioned collective bargaining process, inflation adjustment, greater severance payments and a slight increase in headcount. These factors were supplemented by a headcount increase and the collective bargaining process carried out by our Collection Services subsidiary in the 2Q12.
· A 5.2% YoY rise in administrative expenses that grew from Ch$55 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$58 billion in the 2Q12, mainly due to greater rentals and maintenance expenses related to the expansion of our distribution network (branches and ATMs).
Accordingly, our cost-to-income ratio went down from 50.2% in the 2Q11 to 48.0% in the 2Q12, whereas our cost-to-assets ratio decreased from 3.3% to 2.8% in the same period.

Banco de Chile:
Loan Portfolio
As of Jun-12 our loan portfolio accounted for Ch$18.4 trillion and maintained a solid YoY growth of 15.8%. On a QoQ basis, the loan book posted a 3.5% YoY rise, which favourably compares to the 2.2% increment posted last quarter. This performance has enabled us to retake the first place in total loans with a 19.2% market share. This was the result of:
· Our commercial loans that amounted to Ch$11.8 trillion as of Jun-12, entailing a 14.3% YoY rise. The upsurge relied on a greater demand for credits from SMEs (+15.5%) and into a lesser extent from large companies (+13.0%). On the other hand, Foreign Trade (+21.4%) that include an exchange rate effect and Factoring (+14.7%) loans are the most growing products within this lending family and their performances have permitted us to maintain at the top of the industry with a market share of 19.7% as of June 30, 2012.
· Our successful strategy in granting residential mortgages loans has resulted in a Ch$3.9 trillion balance as of Jun-12, which represents a stellar 21.5% YoY growth. This advance has to do with an attractive value offering provided to our customers, based on a competitive funding and tailor-made financing alternatives that are supported by an accurate segmentation in the individuals segment. As a result, we have significantly increased our market share by gaining 135 bp* YoY and holding a 16.9% stake as of Jun-12.
· A 14.0% YoY growth in consumer loans specifically based on greater credit card outstanding balances (+26.4% YoY) and higher demand for installment loans (+11.7% YoY). Whereas the former factor has to do with our efforts intended to enhance our customer loyalty programs through rewards for using our credit cards, the lower rise in installment loans relates to still solid though lower economic figures in the local economy versus tightened credit-granting criteria that we have set for low-income segments in order to face the tempered slowdown in economic activity. As a result, we hold a 20.9% market share in this lending family.

Banco de Chile:
Funding Structure
In terms of funding, we keep on diversifying our structure and looking for new sources and markets in order to face the expected growth in our business scale.
Our strong credit ratings have allowed us to bear attractive funding costs in Chile and abroad. As for local placements, the 2Q12 was very intensive. In fact, we issued senior bonds for an amount of approximately Ch$290 billion with 7-year to 12-year terms at very low spreads over comparable benchmarks. Also, as we mentioned in our last quarterly report, during May 2012 we filed a US$1,000 million Commercial Papers shelf in the U.S. In the 2Q12 we placed ~US$415 million of this funding line. This alternative provides us with short-term funding at very low spreads.
In terms of non-interest bearing liabilities, our current accounts and demand deposits keep growing, though at lower YoY rates. This trend is consistent with rising interest rates paid by Chilean banks for interest bearing deposits, encouraging customers to prefer profitability rather than liquidity.
However, these kinds of deposits represent 24.8% of our funding, the highest level within the local industry.
Despite the higher utilization of interest bearing sources, our funding structure remains strong regarding the level of interest earning assets. Actually, the latter represent 1.51 times the former, which is comparable to the figure posted a year earlier.

Equity
Our equity recorded a 9.8% YoY rise, from Ch$1,635 billion as of June 30, 2011 to Ch$1,796 billion as of June 30, 2012, which entails an annual variance of Ch$161 billion. This increase is mostly explained by:
· Approximately Ch$29 billion associated to the final stages of our capital increase in 2011.
· The capitalization of Ch$74 billion related to the retention of 30% of our 2011s net distributable earnings (after the payment to the Central Bank corresponding to 100% of SAOSs stake in our dividends plus SM-Chile A stake).
· Roughly Ch$58 billion of our 2011s net income that was retained in order to recognize the effect of accumulated inflation on the shareholders equity (difference between total and distributable earnings).
The capital increase that we accomplished during 2011 permitted us to support the significant growth in our business scale and maintain our capital base well above the regulatory limits. Actually, as a result of our loan growth our BIS ratio decreased from 13.2% as of June 30, 2011 to 12.4% as of June 30, 2012, which is 2.4% above the threshold imposed by the Chilean regulator to Banco de Chile.
On the other hand, our Tier I ratio posted a tempered YoY decrease from 6.9% as of June 30, 2011 to 6.8% as of June 30, 2012, which is more than two times above the regulatory limit of 3% and demonstrates our capital soundness and the room we have to grow.

Other Issues
Credit Rating Upgrade:
· On June 18, 2012 the rating agency Standard & Poors raised our long-term foreign currency credit rating based on our strong risk position. In fact, the rating agency realized that our well-diversified portfolio, strong business position, adequate capital support and our strong funding structure are properly supplemented by credit losses that have constantly been below our peers and industrys figures, whereas our low exposure to proprietary trading has translated into operating revenues that do not materially depend on such activities.
Accordingly, we obtained a credit rating upgrade of 1-notch in long-term foreign currency, from A to A+, which turned us into the bank with the best credit rating in Latin America.
Operational Events:
· As we reported on Form 6-K on July 6th, 2012, a third-party provider of technological services erroneously e-mailed 52,770 current account statements (equivalent to 7.7% of our accounts). However, as soon as the event was detected, we delivered the correct statements to the affected customers and apologized to them.
Due to this event, we received a Ch$40 million fine from the SBIF. Also, we reached agreement with the local consumer protection agency to compensate customers with a cash deposit that totalled Ch$1.05 billion and a one-year insurance policy to cover potential misuse of information.
Finally, in line with our reputation of reliability and high-standard service quality, we are providing further services to address questions and complaints associated with this event, as well as overcoming this operational difficulty.

Banco de Chile: Results by Business Segments
Retail Banking Segment
Our Retail Banking segment recorded a 5.1% YoY rise in income before income tax, which increased from Ch$56.2 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$59.0 billion in the 2Q12. The main forces that determined this YoY increase were related to:
· Operating revenues that posted a 9.4% YoY rise in the 2Q12, mainly fostered by: (i) greater income from lending as a result of total loans that grew 17.6% YoY along with an upward trend in lending spreads in order to compensate the tempered climb in credit risk across the industry due to the moderate economic slowdown, (ii) further revenues related to a 10.9% YoY rise in the average balances of current accounts and demand deposits amid slightly higher interest rates vis-à-vis 2Q11, (iii) greater fees (+7.0% YoY) steered by the use of our credit cards and insurance brokerage due to our marketing campaigns on such matters. These factors enabled us to more than offset the negative impact of lower inflation on the segments UF net asset position.
· The above was partly offset by provisions for loan losses that grew from Ch$30.0 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$45.1 billion in the 2Q12. This rise was caused by a volume effect linked to the YoY growth in total loans and the moderate economic slowdown that affects group-based evaluated customers, such as individuals that borrow consumer loans and into a lesser extent - SMEs.
As for operating expenses, the segment posted a slight YoY decrease, which is consistent with economies of scale from the expansion of our distribution network, higher productivity in branches and the one-off effect of the collective bargaining process in the 2Q11s cost base.

Wholesale Banking Segment
In the 2Q11, our Wholesale Banking segment recorded a 2.1% YoY increase in income before income tax. The principal factors that explained this YoY variation were:
· Operating revenues that lowered 7.1% YoY due to: (i) the negative effect of lower inflation on the segments UF net asset position, and (ii) lower net fees and commissions mainly related to a decrease in credit-restructuring fees. These forces more than offset the growth in lending income fostered by a 13.0% YoY rise in the segments loan book, as well as a greater income from current accounts and demand deposits as a result of an 11.3% YoY rise in the average balances and slightly higher nominal interest rates.
· The above was more than offset by operating expenses that lowered 18.8% YoY, from Ch$38.5 billion in the 2Q11 to Ch$31.3 billion in the 2Q12. This change is mainly explained by the provision recognized in the 2Q11 to reflect the one-off effect related to the collective bargaining agreement, which surpassed greater personnel expenses related to salary increases, as well as severance payments due to an organizational restructuring in one of the segments business units.
As for provisions for loan losses, this line item posted an 8.3% YoY slide in the 2Q12, which is consistent with credit-risk events associated with a specific customer in the 2Q11 that led us to establish further provisions to anticipate potential losses. This effect allowed us to offset a negative exchange rate impact and a volume effect associated with a greater loan book.

Treasury
During the 2Q12 our Treasury posted a net loss before income tax of Ch$1.7 billion in the 2Q12, which compares to the Ch$5.1 billion recorded a year earlier. The reasons that explained this performance were:
· A negative inflation effect. During the 2Q11 the UF posted a variation of 1.4% as compared to the 0.4% recorded in the 2Q12. This effect translated into a lower income associated with the accrual of the available-for-sale investment portfolio held by our Treasury, which is funded with Ch$-denominated liabilities.
· The above was partly offset by: (i) operating expenses that declined 39.0% YoY as a result of lower allocated costs (one-off effect of collective bargaining agreement in the 2Q11), and (ii) greater sales of available-for-sale instruments in the 2Q12 by approximately Ch$800 million.
In terms of proprietary trading, our Treasury holds a low exposure with a portfolio of Ch$79.3 billion as of Jun-12 as compared to Ch$115.0 billion as of Jun-11 (-31.0% YoY). This is consistent with our prudent approach regarding trading activities especially in a volatile financial environment that translates into immaterial results. On the other hand, our Treasury continued to increase our available-for-sale portfolio, since it is expecting lower interest rates over the future.

Subsidiaries
Our Subsidiaries reached an income before income tax of Ch$13.7 billion in the 2Q12 as compared to Ch$17.5 billion recorded in the 2Q11, which entails a 21.6% YoY decrease. The main drivers that explained this YoY variance were:
· A 58.0% (or Ch$5.3 billion) YoY decrease in the income before income tax posted by our subsidiary of Securities brokerage. This variation is mainly the result of lower fees and commissions in stock brokerage due to a 17.6% YoY decrease in the stock trading turnover managed by the subsidiary. This is the result of both a downward trend in stock trading turnover that has been observed in the whole industry and diverse one-off transactions executed by the company in the 2Q11 that translated into a greater business volume in that period.
· A 32.6% (or Ch$1.9 billion) YoY decline in our Mutual Funds subsidiarys income before income tax. Despite the company has maintained a flat YoY trend in average AUM, the volatility observed in stocks markets has encouraged customers to re-balance their portfolios with a bias towards fixed-income securities (86% in the 2Q12 versus 79% in the 2Q11), which translates into lower gross margins for the subsidiary.
The above was partly offset by a greater income before income tax of Ch$4.2 billion posted by our Factoring subsidiary. This was the result of the 23.0% YoY growth in the companys average loan book, as well as lower inflation in the 2Q12 as compared to the 2Q11 that benefited the companys UF net liability position. Also, our Financial Advisory subsidiary contributed to partly offset the above-mentioned negative effects.

These results have been prepared in accordance with Chilean GAAP on an unaudited, consolidated basis.
All figures are expressed in nominal Chilean pesos (historical pesos), unless otherwise stated. All figures expressed in US dollars (except earnings per ADR) were converted using the exchange rate of Ch$501.07 for US$1.00 as of June 30, 2012. Earnings per ADR were calculated considering the nominal net income, the exchange rate and the number of shares outstanding at the end of each period.
Banco de Chile files its consolidated financial statements, together with those of its subsidiaries, with the Chilean Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, on a monthly basis. In addition, Banco de Chile files its quarterly financial statements (notes included) with the SEC in form 6K, simultaneously or previously to file this quarterly earnings report. Such documentation is equally available at Banco de Chiles website both in Spanish and English.

Notes
(1) These figures were expressed in nominal Chilean pesos.
(2) The figures were calculated considering the nominal net income, the shares outstanding and the exchange rate existing at the end of each period.
(3) The ratios were calculated as an average of daily balances.
(4) Annualized data.
(5) ROAE excludes provisions for minimum dividends.
(6) Adjusted by provisions for minimum dividends.
(7) Includes certain reclassifications to conform with 2011 new presentation.
These results have been prepared in accordance with Chilean GAAP on an unaudited, consolidated basis.
All figures are expressed in nominal Chilean pesos (historical pesos), unless otherwise stated. All figures expressed in US dollars (except earnings per ADR) were converted using the exchange rate of Ch$501.07 for US$1.00 as of June 30, 2012. Earnings per ADR were calculated considering the nominal net income, the exchange rate and the number of shares outstanding at the end of each period.
Banco de Chile files its consolidated financial statements, together with those of its subsidiaries, with the Chilean Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, on a monthly basis. In addition, Banco de Chile files its quarterly financial statements (notes included) with the SEC in form 6K, simultaneously or previously to file this quarterly earnings report. Such documentation is equally available at Banco de Chiles website both in Spanish and English.
Summary of Differences between Chilean GAAP and IFRS
The most significant differences are as follows:
· Under Chilean GAAP, the merger of Banco de Chile and Citibank Chile was accounted for under the pooling-of-interest method, while under IFRS, and for external financial reporting purposes, the merger of the two banks was accounted for as a business combination in which the Bank is the acquirer as required by IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Under IFRS 3, the Bank recognized all acquired net assets at fair value as determined at the acquisition date, as well as the goodwill resulting from the purchase price consideration in excess of net assets recognized.
· Allowances for loan losses are calculated based on specific guidelines set by the Chilean Superintendency of Banks based on an expected losses approach. Under IFRS, IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement, allowances for loan losses should be adequate to cover losses in the loan portfolio at the respective balance sheet dates based on an analysis of estimated future cash flows. According to Chilean GAAP, the Bank records additional allowances related to expected losses not yet incurred, whereas under IFRS these expected losses must not be recognized.
· Assets received in lieu of payments are measured at historical cost or fair value, less cost to sell, if lower, on a portfolio basis and written-off if not sold after a certain period in accordance with specific guidelines set by the Chilean Superintendency of Banks. Under IFRS, these assets are deemed non-current assets held-for-sale and their accounting treatment is set by IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and Discontinued operations. In accordance with IFRS 5 these assets are measured at historical cost or fair value, less cost to sell, if lower. Accordingly, under IFRS these assets are not written off unless impaired.
· Chilean companies are required to distribute at least 30% of their net income to shareholders unless a majority of shareholders approve the retention of profits. In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Bank records a minimum dividend allowance based on its distribution policy, which requires distribution of at least 70% of the period net income, as permitted by the Chilean Superintendency of Banks. Under IFRS, only the portion of dividends that is required to be distributed by Chilean Law must be recorded, i.e., 30% as required by Chilean Corporations Law.
