SUMMARY

2020 Performance

Intercorp Financial Services’ profits were S/ 383.5 million in 2020, a 73.6% decrease compared to 2019. The lower net profit was mainly driven by a more than three-fold increase in impairment loss on loans and a 21.9% reduction in net fee income from financial services. These effects were partially offset by growth of 31.2% in other income and 1.4% in net interest and similar income, in addition to a 3.4% reduction in other expenses and a reversal of the income tax payment.

It is worth mentioning that IFS’ results in the comparing periods were affected by (i) the reversion of payroll deduction loan provisions for S/ 27.4 million after taxes in 2Q19; (ii) the reversion of loan loss provisions for S/ 73.4 million after taxes in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers; (iii) the one-off impact of a liability management transaction on financial expense for S/ 29.0 million after taxes in 4Q19; and (iv) the impact on interest income of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 130.4 million after taxes during 2020.

IFS’ ROAE excluding the effect of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was 6.0%.

Net interest and similar income grew due to increases in interest on investments at Interseguro and incremental dividends received from investments at Inteligo. At Interbank, net interest and similar income remained relatively stable when compared to 2019.

Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries increased more than three-fold in 2020 compared to the previous year. The increase in provision expenses was mainly explained by the adjustments of the bank’s expected loss models to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as by a base effect related to (i) the reversion of payroll deduction loan provisions for S/ 38.8 million in 2Q19,

and (ii) the reversion of loan loss provisions for S/ 104.1 million in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers.

The reduction in net fee income from financial services was mainly due to lower commissions from credit card services, maintenance and mailing of accounts, transfer fees and commissions on debit card services at Interbank.

Other income grew as a result of positive performance across all three subsidiaries, particularly from net gain on sale of securities at Interseguro and positive mark-to-market valuations on investments at Inteligo.

Total premiums earned less claims and benefits were S/ -279.1 million in 2020, slightly better than the S/ -279.6 million reported in 2019. The annual performance was due to a S/ 167.9 million decrease in adjustment of technical reserves, partially offset by S/ 93.8 million growth in net claims and benefits incurred and a S/ 73.6 million reduction in net premiums.

The reduction in other expenses was mostly attributed to lower salaries and employee benefits, as well as marketing and credit card expenses, both at Interbank, in addition to lower administrative expenses at Interseguro. These reductions were driven by cost containment measures implemented to offset the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenues.

The efficiency ratio was 32.2% in 2020, an improvement compared to the 34.4% registered in 2019. However, excluding (i) the one-off impact of a liability management transaction on financial expense for S/ 42.3 million in 2019; and (ii) the impact on interest income of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 185.0 million in 2020, the efficiency ratio would have improved from 34.2% in 2019 to 31.1% in 2020.

4Q20 Performance

Intercorp Financial Services’ net profit was S/ 377.4 million in 4Q20, a S/ 58.9 million increase QoQ, or 18.5%, but a S/ 35.4 million decrease YoY, or 8.6%.

It is worth noting that IFS’ profits in the comparing periods were affected by (i) the reversion of loan loss provisions for S/ 73.4 million after taxes in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers; (ii) the one-off impact of a liability management transaction on financial expense for S/ 29.0 million after taxes in 4Q19; and (iii) the impact on interest

income of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 20.1 million after taxes in 3Q20 and S/ 14.0 million after taxes in 4Q20.

IFS annualized ROAE was 17.5% in 4Q20, higher than the 15.8% registered in 3Q20, but still below the 19.0% annualized ROAE reported in 4Q19. However, excluding the previously mentioned one-off impact of a liability management transaction in 4Q19 and the effects of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers in 3Q20 and 4Q20, ROAE was 20.3% in 4Q19, 16.7% in 3Q20 and 18.1% in 4Q20.

Quarter-on-quarter performance

Profits increased 18.5% QoQ due to lower impairment loss on loans and a recovery in fees at Interbank, in addition to increases in net interest and similar income at Inteligo and Interseguro, and higher other income at Inteligo. These effects were partially offset by higher other expenses across all subsidiaries, as well as by negative adjustment of technical reserves at Interseguro and a higher income tax payment at Interbank.

Net interest and similar income increased S/ 14.1 million, or 1.6% QoQ, mainly due to incremental dividends received from investments at Inteligo and Interseguro, as well as higher fixed-income investment returns at Interseguro. These effects were partially offset by a reduction in net interest and similar income at Interbank, driven by lower interest on loans.

Impairment loss on loans decreased 29.3% QoQ, mainly due to lower provision requirements in both retail and commercial loan books at Interbank.

Net fee income from financial services increased S/ 11.2 million, or 6.5% QoQ, mainly explained by higher commissions from banking services, maintenance and mailing of accounts, transfer fees and commissions on debit and credit card services, all at Interbank.

Other income increased S/ 14.5 million, or 5.4% QoQ, mainly attributable to positive mark-to-market valuations on Inteligo’s proprietary investment portfolio. This was partially compensated by reductions in net gain on sale of financial investments at Interbank and Interseguro, and in valuation gain from investment property at Interseguro.

Total premiums earned minus claims and benefits at Interseguro showed a quarterly reduction of S/ 26.4 million, mainly explained by the constitution of S/ 53.5 million of technical reserves in 4Q20, compared to a S/ 9.5 million release in 3Q20. This effect was partially offset by S/ 38.8 million growth in net premiums.

Other expenses increased S/ 90.1 million, or 20.2% QoQ, mainly attributed to (i) a S/ 35.2 million effect of higher profit sharing due to the accounting of non-tax deductible voluntary provisions under local GAAP accounting standards at Interbank, (ii) the regularization in the rescue of life insurance policies at Interseguro; and (iii) the provisioning of variable compensation for the year at Inteligo.

IFS effective tax rate grew, from 11.7% in 3Q20 to 16.8% in 4Q20, mainly attributed to a higher effective tax rate at Interbank.

Year-on-year performance

Profits decreased 8.6% YoY mainly due to higher impairment loss on loans at Interbank, in addition to reductions in net fee income from financial services at all subsidiaries. Moreover, higher other expenses at all three business segments and net claims and benefits incurred at Interseguro also contributed to the YoY reduction in bottom-line. These factors were partially compensated by increases in other income and in net interest and similar income, both across all subsidiaries. Additionally, a lower effective tax rate at IFS also contributed to offset the annual reduction in earnings.

Net interest and similar income increased S/ 60.8 million, or 7.1% YoY, mainly due to lower interest expense on deposits and obligations, and on bonds, notes and other obligations, both at Interbank. Additionally, a higher return on Interseguro’s fixed income portfolio and strong results on Inteligo’s proprietary investment portfolio, also contributed to the annual growth in net interest and similar income.

Impairment loss on loans grew more than two-fold YoY, explained by higher provision requirements in credit cards, payroll deduction loans and cash loans, as well as in the medium-sized segment of the commercial loan book. All this was mainly attributed to the adjustments of the bank’s expected loss models to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is worth noting that the YoY growth was also explained by a base effect related to the reversion of loan loss provisions in the banking segment for S/ 104.1 million in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers.

Net fee income from financial services decreased S/ 64.4 million, or 25.7% YoY, mainly due to lower commissions from credit card services, banking services, and fees from maintenance and mailing of accounts, transfer fees and commissions on debit card services, all at Interbank. Additionally, lower fund management fees at Inteligo also contributed to the annual reduction in net fee income from financial services.

Other income increased S/ 100.4 million, or 55.2% YoY, mainly due to positive mark-to-market valuations on proprietary portfolio investments at Inteligo, and net gain on financial assets at fair value at both Interseguro and Interbank.

On a yearly basis, total premiums earned minus claims and benefits at Interseguro decreased S/ 15.3 million explained by S/ 33.4 million higher net claims and benefits incurred, partially offset by a S/ 13.8 million increase in net premiums and a S/ 4.4 million reduction in adjustment of technical reserves.

Other expenses increased S/ 22.9 million, or 4.5% YoY, mainly due to (i) a S/ 35.2 million effect of higher profit sharing due to the accounting of non-tax deductible voluntary provisions under local GAAP accounting standards at Interbank, (ii) the regularization in the rescue of life insurance policies at Interseguro; and (iii) the provisioning of variable compensation for the year at Inteligo.

IFS effective tax rate decreased, from 26.3% in 4Q19 to 16.8% in 4Q20, mainly attributed to higher tax-exempt profits from Inteligo and Interseguro.

Interbank

SUMMARY

2020 Performance

Interbank posted almost break-even results in 2020, compared to profits of S/ 1,228.5 million in the previous year. The yearly performance was mainly attributed to a more than three-fold increase in impairment loss on loans and a S/ 207.3 million decrease in net fee income from financial services. These effects were partially offset by a reversal of the income tax payment and a S/ 78.0 million reduction in other expenses.

It is worth mentioning that Interbank’s results in the comparing periods were affected by (i) the gain on sale of Interfondos, Interbank’s former mutual funds subsidiary, to Inteligo for S/ 32.4 million after taxes in 1Q19; (ii) the reversion of payroll deduction loan provisions for S/ 27.4 million after taxes in 2Q19; (iii) the reversion of loan loss provisions for S/ 73.4 million after taxes in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers; (iv) the one-off impact of a liability management transaction on financial expense for S/ 29.0 million after taxes in 4Q19; and (v) the impact on interest income of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 130.4 million after taxes during 2020.

Interbank’s ROAE excluding the effect of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was 2.0%.

Net interest and similar remained relatively stable as a 5.8% decrease in interest and similar income was compensated by a 18.3% reduction in interest and similar expense.

The lower interest and similar income was due to reductions of 74.5% in interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds, and 5.0% in interest on loans, partially offset by 14.8% growth in interest on financial investments.

Interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds decreased S/ 80.1 million, or 74.5%, explained by a 90 basis point reduction in the average yield, partially compensated by 43.4% growth in the average volume. On one hand, the decrease in the nominal average rate was mainly related to lower returns on deposits and reserve funds at the Central Bank. On the other hand, the increase in the average volume was explained by higher deposits and reserve funds at the Central Bank, partially offset by a lower average balance of inter-bank funds.

Interest on loans decreased S/ 188.4 million, or 5.0%, due to a 190 basis point reduction in the average rate, partially offset by a 14.9% higher average volume. However, excluding the previously mentioned impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, interest on loans would have remained relatively stable YoY.

The lower average rate on loans, from 10.9% in 2019 to 9.0% in 2020, was due to yield reductions in all client segments. In retail loans rates decreased on credit cards, other consumer loans and mortgages. In the commercial portfolio, rates decreased on all types of loans. It is worth mentioning that, as a result of the loan rescheduling carried out as part of the measures implemented to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, a portion of the interest on loans to be recorded between April and December 2020 was rescheduled, affecting the average yield on loans in 2020. Additionally, the incidence of the low-return loans offered to several commercial clients as part of the Reactiva Peru Program also had an impact on the average rate on loans.

The higher average volume of loans was attributed to growth of 26.4% in commercial loans and 5.3% in retail loans. In the commercial portfolio, the higher average volume was mainly due to a 41.7% increase in short and medium-term loans, attributed to the disbursement of loans under the Reactiva Peru Program, despite lower balances of leasing operations and trade finance loans. In the retail portfolio, average volumes grew due to increases of 9.0% in mortgages and 4.3% in payroll deduction loans, while the average balance of credit cards slightly decreased.

Interest on financial investments increased S/ 30.9 million, or 14.8%, due to 34.8% growth in the average volume, partially offset by a 50 basis point reduction in the average yield. The increase in the average volume was mainly the result of higher average balances of sovereign bonds and global bonds. The decrease in the nominal average rate, from 3.8% in 2019 to 3.3% in 2020, was mainly explained by lower returns on global bonds, sovereign bonds, Central Bank Certificates of Deposits (CDBCR) and corporate bonds from non-financial institutions.

As a result of the above, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 190 basis points, from 8.2% in 2019 to 6.3% in 2020. However, excluding the impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets would have decreased 160 basis points YoY, from 8.2% in 2019 to 6.6% in 2020.

The 18.3% lower interest and similar expense was due to reductions of 24.4% in interest on deposits and obligations, and 17.2% in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations, partially offset by a 4.9% increase in interest on due to banks and correspondents.

Interest on deposits and obligations decreased S/ 173.2 million, or 24.4%, explained by an 80 basis point reduction in the average cost, from 2.1% in 2019 to 1.3% in 2020, partially offset by 19.8% growth in the average volume. The lower average cost was due to reductions in rates paid to institutional, commercial and retail deposits. Growth in volumes came across all client segments. By currency, average balances of soles-denominated deposits increased 27.8% while average dollar-denominated deposits grew 5.8%.

The reduction in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations was explained by: (i) a base effect from the execution of an optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds in 4Q19, which implied a non-recurring financial expense of S/ 42.3 million in such quarter, as these bonds were being negotiated above its face value (above par); (ii) higher efficiencies in this component of interest-bearing liabilities, associated with liability management transactions executed throughout 2020, such as the redemption of international hybrid bonds in April 2020 followed by the issuance of a new international subordinated bond in July 2020; and (iii) the maturity of Certificates of Deposit for S/ 150 million in March 2020. Excluding the expense of the optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds, interest on bonds, notes and other obligations would have decreased 7.9% YoY.

Interest on due to banks and correspondents grew as a result of 83.5% growth in the average volume, partially compensated by a 180 basis point reduction in the average cost, from 4.2% in 2019 to 2.4% in 2020. On one hand, the increase in the average volume was due to higher funding provided by the Central Bank, related to the bank’s participation in the Reactiva Peru Program. On the other hand, the reduction in the average cost was explained by lower rates paid to all types of funding, especially inter-bank funds and that provided by the Central Bank.

The average cost of funding decreased 100 basis points, from 3.0% in 2019 to 2.0% in 2020, in line with the lower implicit cost of all interest-bearing liabilities. Excluding the expense of the optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds, the average cost of funding would have decreased 90 basis points, from 2.9% in 2019 to 2.0% in 2020.

As a result of the above, net interest margin was 4.6% in 2020, 100 basis points lower than the 5.6% reported in 2019. However, excluding (i) the expense of the optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds in 2019, and (ii) the impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, net interest margin would have decreased 80 basis points YoY, from 5.7% in 2019 to 4.9% in 2020.

Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries increased more than three-fold in 2020 compared to the previous year. The increase in provision expenses was mainly related to the adjustments of the bank’s expected loss models to address the impact of the COVID-19

pandemic, as well as to a base effect related to (i) the reversion of payroll deduction loan provisions for S/ 38.8 million in 2Q19, and (ii) the reversion of loan loss provisions for S/ 104.1 million in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers.

The S/ 207.3 million, or 25.1%, decrease in net fee income from financial services was mainly attributable to lower commissions from credit card services, maintenance and mailing of accounts, transfer fees and commissions on debit card services.

Other income grew S/ 9.8 million, or 2.3%, mainly due to increases in net gain on sale of financial investments, and in net gain of foreign exchange transactions and on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Other expenses decreased S/ 78.0 million, or 4.8%, mainly as a result of lower salaries and employee benefits, as well as marketing and credit card expenses, all driven by cost containment measures implemented to offset the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenues.

The efficiency ratio was 38.6% in 2020, an improvement compared to the 38.9% registered in 2019. However, excluding (i) the gain on sale of Interfondos, Interbank’s former mutual funds subsidiary, to Inteligo for S/ 52.6 million in 2019, (ii) the one-off impact of a liability management transaction on financial expense for S/ 42.3 million in 2019, and (iii) the impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 185.0 million in 2020, the efficiency ratio would have improved from 39.0% in 2019 to 36.8% in 2020.

Results before translation result and income tax were S/ -80.2 million in 2020, a loss which was then almost completely offset by a reversal of the income tax payment. As a result of the above, net results for the period were S/ -5.7 million in 2020 compared to profits of S/ 1,228.5 million in 2019. Excluding the previously mentioned impact from the modification of contractual cash flows, Interbank’s profits would have reached S/ 124.8 million in 2020.

4Q20 Performance

Interbank’s profits were S/ 193.8 million in 4Q20, an increase of S/ 47.1 million QoQ, or 32.1%, but a decrease of S/ 143.7 million YoY, or 42.6%. The quarterly result was mainly attributed to a S/ 135.6 million reduction in impairment loss on loans and a S/ 10.2 million growth in net fee income from financial services. These effects were partially offset by increases of S/ 46.8 million in other expenses and S/ 32.2 million in tax payments, as well as by a S/ 14.8 million decrease in net interest and similar income.

The annual performance in net profit was mainly due to a S/ 179.7 million growth in impairment loss on loans and a S/ 56.4 million reduction in net fee income from financial services. These effects were partially compensated by a lower effective tax rate and a S/ 28.8 million increase in net interest and similar income.

It is worth mentioning that Interbank’s results in the comparing periods were affected by (i) the reversion of loan loss provisions for S/ 73.4 million after taxes in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers; (ii) the one-off impact of a liability management transaction on financial expense for S/ 29.0 million after taxes in 4Q19; and (iii) the impacts on interest income of the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 20.1 million after taxes in 3Q20 and S/ 14.0 million after taxes in 4Q20.

Interbank’s ROAE was 12.8% in 4Q20, an improvement compared to the 10.1% registered in 3Q20, but still lower than the 21.8% reported in 4Q19. Excluding the one-off impact of the liability management transaction in 4Q19 and the impacts from the modification of contractual cash flows in 3Q20 and 4Q20, ROAE for such periods would have resulted in 23.6%, 11.5% and 13.7%, respectively.

INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS

Interbank’s interest-earning assets reached S/ 65,545.9 million as of December 31, 2020, an increase of 2.4% QoQ and 28.6% YoY.

The quarterly growth in interest-earning assets was attributed to increases of 8.5% in cash and due from banks and inter-bank funds, and 5.9% in financial investments, partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in loans. Growth in cash and due from banks and inter-bank funds was mainly due to higher deposits at the Central Bank. The increase in financial investments was mainly a result of higher balances of sovereign bonds, CDBCR and global bonds, partially compensated by reductions in corporate bonds from financial and non-financial institutions.

The YoY increase in interest-earning assets was attributed to growth of 79.5% in cash and due from banks and inter-bank funds, 60.8% in financial investments, and 9.4% in loans. Growth in cash and due from banks and inter-bank funds resulted mainly from higher deposits at the Central Bank, while the increase in financial investments, from higher volumes of sovereign bonds and global bonds.

The QoQ and YoY evolution in the loan portfolio was mostly explained by disbursements and prepayments of commercial loans under the Reactiva Peru Program. As of December 31, 2020, these loans amounted S/ 6,616.5 million, compared to a balance of S/ 6,709.4 million as of September 30, 2020.

Performing loans decreased 1.9% QoQ due to reductions of 2.4% in retail loans and 1.6% in commercial loans. Excluding the effect of the Reactiva Peru Program in the comparing periods, performing loans and commercial loans would have decreased 2.1% and 1.7% QoQ, respectively.

The quarterly decrease in retail loans was due to reductions of 11.4% in credit cards and 6.9% in other consumer loans, partially offset by growth of 3.2% in mortgages and 0.6% in payroll deduction loans. The reduction in other consumer loans was explained by lower cash loans and vehicle loans, while the increase in mortgages, by higher demand in both traditional and MiVivienda products.

The QoQ decrease in commercial loans was mainly explained by lower short and medium-term lending, mostly to small-sized and corporate segments, as well as by a reduction of trade finance loans in the corporate segment. These effects were partially offset by higher short and medium-term lending to the medium-sized segment.

Performing loans grew 12.1% YoY explained by a 34.4% increase in commercial loans, partially compensated by a 6.9% reduction in retail loans. Excluding the effect of the Reactiva Peru Program, performing loans and commercial loans would have decreased 6.6% and 6.2% YoY, respectively.

The annual growth in commercial loans was mainly explained by higher short and medium-term lending in the corporate segment.

The YoY decrease in retail loans was due to reductions of 26.1% in credit cards and 12.9% in other consumer loans, partially compensated by increases of 6.6% in mortgages and 0.4% in payroll deduction loans. The reduction in other consumer loans was a result of lower cash loans and vehicle loans, while growth in mortgages was due to higher demand in both traditional and MiVivienda products.

It is worth mentioning that, as of December 31, 2020, and in line with the measures implemented to help our customers to overcome the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, 400 thousand clients had their loans rescheduled, out of which approximately 385 thousand were retail clients and around 14 thousand, commercial clients. Loans that were subject to some kind of rescheduling represented S/ 10.5 billion or 25.2% of our total portfolio. Of these, S/ 7.5 billion were retail loans (39.1% of total retail loans), and the remaining S/ 3.0 billion were commercial loans (13.2% of total commercial loans).

Interbank's funding base continued to expand on strong deposits growth and inflows of long-term debt provided by the Central Bank, associated with the bank’s active involvement in the auctions of funds for the Reactiva Peru Program. As of December 31, 2020, the balance of such special funding was S/ 5,887.9 million, compared to S/ 5,713.6 million as of September 30, 2020.

The bank’s total funding base increased 2.1% QoQ, slightly below the performance of interest-earning assets. This was explained by growth of 4.8% in deposits and obligations, and 1.2% in bonds, notes and other obligations, partially offset by an 8.4% reduction in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds. Excluding the effect of the Reactiva Peru Program’s funds, the bank’s total funding base would have increased 2.0% QoQ, while due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds would have decreased 22.9%.

The quarterly increase in deposits and obligations was mainly due to growth of 24.8% in institutional deposits and 6.4% in retail deposits, partially compensated by a 4.7% decrease in commercial deposits.

The QoQ growth in bonds, notes and other obligations was mainly attributable to a 0.7% depreciation of the foreign exchange rate with respect to 3Q20.

The quarterly decrease in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds was due to lower funding from correspondent banks abroad, partially offset by higher funding from COFIDE.

The bank’s total funding base grew 33.7% YoY, above the annual growth in interest-earning assets, and was explained by increases of more than two-fold in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds, 25.3% in deposits and obligations, and 11.8% in bonds, notes and other obligations. Excluding the effect of the Reactiva Peru Program’s funds, the bank’s total funding base would have increased 20.7% YoY, but due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds would have decreased 8.6%.

The YoY increase in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds was the result of higher long-term funding from the Central Bank, associated with the bank’s participation in the auctions of funds for the Reactiva Peru Program. Higher funding from COFIDE also contributed to growth in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds when compared to 4Q19. These effects were partially offset by a lower funding from correspondent banks abroad.

The annual growth in deposits and obligations was mainly explained by increases of 30.2% in retail deposits, 25.4% in commercial deposits, and 15.8% in institutional deposits.

The YoY increase in bonds, notes and other obligations was mainly attributable to the placement in the international market of a US$ 300 million subordinated bond in June 2020, in addition to a 9.3% depreciation of the foreign exchange rate with respect to 4Q19. It is worth mentioning that these effects were partially compensated by the execution of an optional redemption of the prevailing hybrid bonds “8.50% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2070” for US$ 200 million in April 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the proportion of deposits and obligations to total funding was 73.7%, lower than the 78.7% reported as of December 31, 2019. Likewise, the proportion of institutional deposits to total deposits decreased from 19.1% as of December 31, 2019 to 17.7% as of December 31, 2020.

QoQ Performance

Net interest and similar income decreased 2.0% QoQ due to a 2.8% reduction in interest and similar income, partially offset by a 5.3% decrease in interest and similar expense. However, excluding the impacts from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 28.5 million in 3Q20 and S/ 19.9 million in 4Q20, interest and similar income, and net interest and similar income would have decreased 3.6% and 3.0% QoQ, respectively.

The lower interest and similar income was due to a 3.2% reduction in interest on loans, partially offset by 39.5% growth in interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds. Interest on financial investments remained relatively stable QoQ.

Interest on loans decreased S/ 29.2 million, or 3.2% QoQ, as the result of a 50 basis point reduction in the average yield, partially compensated by 1.7% growth in the average loan portfolio. However, excluding the previously mentioned impacts from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 3Q20 and 4Q20, interest on loans would have decreased 4.0% QoQ.

The lower average rate on loans, from 8.9% in 3Q20 to 8.4% in 4Q20, was explained by a yield reduction of 70 basis points in commercial loans, partially offset by a 20 basis point growth in retail loans. The yield decrease in commercial loans was explained by lower rates in short and medium-term loans, trade finance loans and leasing operations. In the retail portfolio, rates grew in credit cards and payroll deduction loans, partially compensated by lower average yields on other consumer loans and mortgages. It is worth mentioning that, as a result of the loan rescheduling carried out as part of the measures implemented to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, a portion of the interest on loans to be recorded between April and December 2020 was rescheduled, affecting the average yield on loans in 3Q20 and 4Q20. Additionally, the incidence of the low-return loans offered to several commercial clients as part of the Reactiva Peru Program also had an impact on the average rate on loans.

The higher average volume of loans was attributed to a 4.2% increase in commercial loans, partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in retail loans. In the commercial portfolio, the higher average volume was mostly due to 5.9% growth in short and medium-term loans, partially offset by reductions of 9.3% in trade finance loans and 4.8% in leasing operations. In the retail portfolio, average volumes decreased mainly due to reductions of 5.4% in both credit cards and other consumer loans, partially compensated by increases of 2.6% in mortgages and 0.9% in payroll deduction loans.

Interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds grew S/ 1.6 million, or 39.5% QoQ, explained by 12.9% growth in the average volume, while the nominal average rate remained stable. The increase in the average volume was due to higher deposits and reserve funds at the Central Bank.

Interest on financial investments remained relatively stable as a 20 basis point reduction in the average yield was partially offset by 8.5% growth in the average volume. The decrease in the average yield was due to lower returns on CDBCR, sovereign bonds and corporate bonds from financial institutions, partially compensated by higher returns on corporate bonds from non-financial institutions and global bonds. The increase in the average volume was a consequence of higher investments in sovereign bonds, CDBCR and global bonds, partially offset by lower balances of corporate bonds from financial and non-financial institutions.

The nominal average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 40 basis points QoQ, from 6.1% in 3Q20 to 5.7% in 4Q20, as a consequence of the lower returns on loans and investments. However, excluding the impacts from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets would have decreased 50 basis points, from 6.3% in 3Q20 to 5.8% in 4Q20.

The lower interest and similar expense was due to reductions of 10.3% in interest on deposits and obligations, and 8.9% in interest on due to banks and correspondents, partially compensated by a 3.3% increase in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations.

The quarterly decrease in interest on deposits and obligations was due to a 20 basis point reduction in the average cost, partially compensated by 3.7% growth in the average volume. The decrease in the average cost was due to lower rates paid to institutional and retail deposits, associated with the low interest rate environment. The higher average volume was explained by growth in all segments of deposits. By currency, average balances of dollar-denominated deposits grew 4.0% while average soles-denominated deposits increased 3.6%.

Interest on due to banks and correspondents decreased S/ 4.1 million, or 8.9% QoQ, due to a 30 basis point reduction in the average cost, partially offset by 9.5% growth in the average volume. On one hand, the lower average cost was mainly due to reductions in rates paid to funding provided by the Central Bank in the context of the Reactiva Peru Program. On the other hand, the increase in the average volume was mostly attributed to higher funding from the Central Bank, related to the bank’s participation in the Reactiva Peru Program.

The increase in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations was mainly due to 1.2% growth in the average volume of these obligations, in part explained by a 1.2% depreciation of the average foreign exchange rate with respect to 3Q20.

The average cost of funding decreased 10 basis points QoQ, from 1.7% in 3Q20 to 1.6% in 4Q20, in line with the lower implicit cost of deposits and due to banks and correspondents.

As a result of the above, net interest margin was 4.3% in 4Q20, 30 basis points lower than the 4.6% reported in 3Q20. However, excluding the impacts from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, net interest margin would have decreased 40 basis points, from 4.8% in 3Q20 to 4.4% in 4Q20.

YoY Performance

Net interest and similar income increased 4.1% YoY due to a 34.3% reduction in interest and similar expense, partially offset by an 8.8% decrease in interest and similar income. However, excluding the impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for S/ 19.9 million in 4Q20, interest and similar income would have decreased 6.9% YoY, and net interest and similar income would have grown 7.0% YoY.

The lower interest and similar expense was due to reductions of 42.8% in interest on deposits and obligations, and 34.6% in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations, partially offset by a 4.9% increase in interest on due to banks and correspondents.

Interest on deposits and obligations decreased S/ 76.4 million, or 42.8% YoY, explained by a 120 basis point reduction in the average cost, from 2.1% in 4Q19 to 0.9% in 4Q20, partially offset by 25.7% growth in the average volume. The lower average cost was due to reductions in rates paid to institutional, commercial and retail deposits. Growth in volumes came across all client segments. By currency, average balances of soles-denominated deposits increased 30.1% while average dollar-denominated deposits grew 17.1%.

The reduction in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations was explained by: (i) a base effect from the execution of an optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds in 4Q19, which implied a non-recurring financial expense of S/ 42.3 million in such quarter, as these bonds were being negotiated above its face value (above par); (ii) higher efficiencies in this component of interest-bearing liabilities, associated with liability management transactions executed throughout 2020, such as the redemption of international hybrid bonds in April 2020 followed by the issuance of a new international subordinated bond in July 2020; and (iii) the maturity of Certificates of Deposit for S/ 150 million in March 2020. Excluding the expense of the optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds, interest on bonds, notes and other obligations would have decreased 5.0% YoY.

The S/ 1.9 million, or 4.9% YoY, increase in interest on due to banks and correspondents was the result of a more than two-fold growth in the average volume, partially compensated by a 230 basis point reduction in the average cost, from 4.0% in 4Q19 to 1.7% in 4Q20. On one hand, the increase in the average volume was due to higher funding provided by the Central Bank, related to the bank’s participation in the Reactiva Peru Program. On the other hand, the reduction in the average cost was explained by lower rates paid to funding provided by the Central Bank and COFIDE.

The average cost of funding decreased 150 basis points YoY, from 3.1% in 4Q19 to 1.6% in 4Q20, in line with the lower implicit cost of all interest-bearing liabilities. However, excluding the expense of the optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds, the average cost of funding would have decreased 120 basis points, from 2.8% in 4Q19 to 1.6% in 4Q20.

The lower interest and similar income was due to reductions of 77.1% in interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds, and 9.1% in interest on loans, partially offset by 30.2% growth in interest on financial investments.

Interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds decreased S/ 18.5 million, or 77.1% YoY, explained by a 90 basis point reduction in the average yield, partially compensated by 71.2% growth in the average volume. On one hand, the decrease in the nominal average rate was mainly related to a lower rate on inter-bank funds, as well as to lower returns on deposits and reserve funds at the Central Bank. On the other hand, the increase in the average volume was explained by higher deposits and reserve funds at the Central Bank, partially offset by a lower average balance of inter-bank funds.

Interest on loans decreased S/ 89.1 million, or 9.1% YoY, due to a 240 basis point reduction in the average yield, partially offset by 16.6% growth in the average volume. However, excluding the previously mentioned impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 4Q20, interest on loans would have decreased 7.1% YoY.

The annual decrease in the average rate on loans, from 10.8% in 4Q19 to 8.4% in 4Q20, was due to reductions of 200 basis points in commercial loans and 120 basis points in retail loans. The decrease in commercial loans was explained by lower rates on all types of loans, while the reduction in the retail portfolio, to lower average yields on other consumer loans and mortgages, partially offset by higher rates on credit cards and payroll deduction loans. It is worth mentioning that, as a result of the loan rescheduling carried out as part of the measures implemented to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, a portion of the interest on loans to be recorded between April and December 2020 was rescheduled, affecting the average yield on loans in 4Q20. Additionally, the incidence of the low-return loans offered to several commercial clients as part of the Reactiva Peru Program also had an impact on the average rate on loans.

The higher average volume of loans was attributed to 39.4% growth in commercial loans, partially offset by a 2.1% reduction in retail loans. In the commercial portfolio, the higher average volume was mainly due to a 72.0% increase in short and medium-term loans, attributed to the disbursement of loans under the Reactiva Peru Program, despite lower balances of trade finance loans and leasing operations. In the retail portfolio, average volumes decreased mainly due to reductions of 14.8% in credit cards and 1.4% in other consumer loans, partially compensated by increases of 7.0% in mortgages and 1.1% in payroll deduction loans.

Interest on financial investments increased S/ 15.0 million, or 30.2% YoY, due to 64.0% growth in the average volume, partially offset by a 70 basis point reduction in the average yield. The increase in the average volume was the result of higher average balances of sovereign bonds, global bonds and corporate bonds from financial institutions. The decrease in the nominal average rate, from 3.7% in 4Q19 to 3.0% in 4Q20, was explained by lower returns on global bonds, sovereign bonds, CDBCR and corporate bonds from financial institutions.

The nominal average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 250 basis points YoY, from 8.2% in 4Q19 to 5.7% in 4Q20, in line with the lower returns on all components of interest-earning assets. However, excluding the impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets would have decreased 240 basis points YoY, from 8.2% in 4Q19 to 5.8% in 4Q20.

As a result of the above, net interest margin was 4.3% in 4Q20, 110 basis points lower than the 5.4% reported in 4Q19. However, excluding (i) the expense of the optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds in 4Q19 and (ii) the impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 4Q20, net interest margin would have decreased 140 basis points YoY, from 5.8% in 4Q19 to 4.4% in 4Q20.

IMPAIRMENT LOSS ON LOANS, NET OF RECOVERIES

Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries decreased 29.3% QoQ and grew more than two-fold YoY.

The quarterly reduction was due to lower provision requirements in both retail and commercial loan books. In the retail portfolio, the reduction in provisions was mainly driven by credit cards, while in the commercial portfolio, by corporate and SME loans.

The annual increase in provisions was mainly explained by higher requirements in credit cards, payroll deduction loans and cash loans, as well as in the medium-sized segment of the commercial loan book. All this was mainly attributed to the adjustments of the

bank’s expected loss models to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is worth noting that the YoY growth was also explained by a base effect related to the reversion of loan loss provisions for S/ 104.1 million in 4Q19 due to fine-tuning of IFRS9 models reflecting improved risk profile on customers. Excluding this effect, impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries would have increased 30.0% YoY.

As a result of the above, the annualized ratio of impairment loss on loans to average loans was 3.1% in 4Q20, lower than the 4.5% reported in 3Q20, but higher than the 1.7% registered in 4Q19. However, excluding the previously mentioned reversion of provisions, the annualized ratio of impairment loss on loans to average loans would have increased 30 basis points YoY, from 2.8% in 4Q19 to 3.1% in 4Q20.

--- ---

The NPL ratio grew 20 basis points QoQ and 70 basis points YoY, to 3.6%. On one hand, the quarterly growth was due to a 40 basis point increase in retail loans’ NPL, mainly driven by credit cards. On the other hand, the annual growth was explained by a 230 basis point growth in the retail portfolio, partially offset by a 30 basis point reduction in the commercial portfolio.

Furthermore, the NPL coverage ratio was 181.5% as of December 31, 2020, lower than the 196.5% reported as of September 30, 2020, but higher than the 117.7% registered as of December 31, 2019. NPL coverage ratio in credit cards was 270.0% as of December 31, 2020.

FEE INCOME FROM FINANCIAL SERVICES, NET

Net fee income from financial services grew S/ 10.2 million QoQ, or 6.7%, mainly explained by increases of S/ 9.9 million in commissions from banking services, S/ 3.6 million in fees from maintenance and mailing of accounts, transfer fees and commissions on debit card services, and S/ 2.5 million in commissions from credit card services.

Net fee income from financial services decreased S/ 56.4 million YoY, or 25.7%, mainly due to reductions of S/ 33.7 million in commissions from credit card services, S/ 11.8 million in commissions from banking services, and S/ 10.3 million in fees from maintenance and mailing of accounts, transfer fees and commissions on debit card services.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses increased S/ 46.8 million QoQ, or 12.7%, and remained relatively stable YoY.

The quarterly growth in expenses was mainly attributed to a S/ 35.2 million effect of higher profit sharing due to the accounting of non-tax deductible voluntary provisions under local GAAP accounting standards.

The efficiency ratio was 39.7% in 4Q20, compared to the 35.2% reported in 3Q20 and the 39.2% registered in 4Q19. However, excluding the one-off impact of the liability management transaction in 4Q19 and the impacts from the modification of contractual cash flows in 3Q20 and 4Q20, the efficiency ratio would have been 37.7% in 4Q19, 34.2% in 3Q20 and 38.9% in 4Q20.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

The ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets (RWA) was 17.0% as of December 31, 2020, in line with that reported as of September 30, 2020, but higher than the 15.2% registered as of December 31, 2019.

In 4Q20, regulatory capital slightly decreased 0.3% QoQ. Meanwhile, RWA also decreased 0.4% QoQ due to lower capital requirements for credit risk, given the reductions in retail and commercial loans.

The annual increase in the total capital ratio was due to 13.8% growth in regulatory capital, partially offset by a 1.5% increase in RWA. Regulatory capital increased as a result of the addition of S/ 671.1 million in capital, reserves and earnings with capitalization agreement during the last twelve months, as well as the “4.00% Subordinated Notes due 2030” for US$300 million issued in July 2020. These effects were partially compensated by the execution of an optional redemption of US$ 200 million hybrid bonds in April 2020. The YoY increase in RWA was mostly attributed to loan growth and the higher risk weights applied to intangible assets by disposition of the SBS, with impact on the bank’s increasing digital investments.

As of December 31, 2020, Interbank’s capital ratio of 17.0% was significantly higher than its risk-adjusted minimum capital ratio requirement, established at 10.7%. The minimum regulatory capital ratio requirement was 10.0%, while the additional capital requirement for Interbank was 0.7% as of December 31, 2020. Furthermore, Core Equity Tier 1 (CET1) was 11.5% as of December 31, 2020, slightly below the 11.6% reported as of December 31, 2019.

Interseguro

SUMMARY

2020 Performance

Interseguro’s profits reached S/ 141.1 million in 2020, a S/ 10.7 million, or 8.2%, increase compared to the previous year.

The yearly performance was mainly due to increases of S/ 32.7 million in other income, mostly explained by net gain on sale of securities, and S/ 30.9 million in net interest and similar income, as well as to a S/ 12.7 million reduction in other expenses, mainly related to efficiencies implemented during the year. These effects were partially offset by a S/ 36.4 million negative performance in translation result and a S/ 27.6 million higher loss due to impairment of financial investments.

Net interest and similar income was S/ 571.0 million in 2020, an increase of S/ 30.9 million compared to 2019, mainly explained by S/ 42.5 million growth in interest and similar income, partially offset by a S/ 11.5 million increase in interest and similar expenses.

Loss due to impairment of financial investments was S/ -33.8 million, compared to a loss of S/ -6.2 million in the previous year, a deterioration of S/ 27.6 million attributable to an additional provision for impairment on a fixed income investment that was downgraded in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Other income was S/ 201.7 million, a S/ 32.7 million growth compared to 2019, mainly due to increases of S/ 65.8 million in net gain on sale of securities, S/ 20.6 million in net trading result and S/ 7.2 million in net gain on sale of real estate investments. These factors were partially offset by decreases of S/ 49.1 million in net gain on valuation of real estate investments and S/ 9.3 million in rental income.

Total premiums earned less claims and benefits were S/ -279.1 million in 2020, slightly better than the S/ -279.6 million reported in 2019. The annual performance was due to a S/ 167.9 million decrease in adjustment of technical reserves, partially offset by S/ 93.8 million growth in net claims and benefits incurred and a S/ 73.6 million reduction in net premiums.

The yearly performance in net premiums was mainly due to decreases of S/ 67.8 million in annuities and S/ 8.9 million in retail insurance, mostly associated to card protection products, partially offset by a S/ 3.1 million increase in individual life premiums.

It is worth mentioning that the overall activity in net premiums was affected by the national lockdown implemented to face the COVID-19 pandemic, which later recovered during 3Q20 and 4Q20 in all segments.

The lower adjustment of technical reserves in 2020 was driven mainly by decreases of S/ 137.4 million in annuities, S/ 20.3 million in individual life and S/ 10.2 million in retail insurance. The reduction in technical reserves for annuities was attributable to a release of technical reserves for annuities, mostly related to (i) a higher mortality rate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and (ii) the effect of lower sales.

Other expenses were S/ 286.0 million in 2020, a S/ 12.7 million decrease when compared to 2019, mainly explained by lower administrative expenses due to the efficiencies implemented throughout the year to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

4Q20 Performance

Interseguro’s profits reached S/ 37.7 million in 4Q20, a decrease of S/ 28.8 million QoQ, but an increase of S/ 3.0 million YoY.

The quarterly result was mainly explained by growth of S/ 30.1 million in other expenses, mostly related to a regularization in the rescue of life insurance policies, and a reduction of S/ 26.4 million in total premiums earned minus claims and benefits, in addition to a S/ 4.2 million contraction in other income. These factors were partially offset by a S/ 13.4 million increase in net interest and similar income, a S/ 16.4 million reversion of provision for impairment loss, and a S/ 2.8 million improvement in translation result.

The annual increase in net profit was mainly due to growth of S/ 18.4 million in net interest and similar income and S/ 7.7 million in other income, in addition to a S/ 22.2 million positive effect in loss due to impairment of financial investments. These effects were partially offset by a reduction of S/ 15.3 million in total premiums earned minus claims and benefits, and an increase of S/ 15.1 million in other expenses. Additionally, a S/ 13.6 million negative effect in translation result also contributed to partially offset the yearly increase in profits.

Interseguro’s ROAE was 17.1% in 4Q20, below the 35.7% reported in 3Q20, but above the 14.7% registered in 4Q19.

NET INTEREST AND SIMILAR INCOME

Net interest and similar income related to investments was S/ 165.1 million in 4Q20, an increase of S/ 13.8 million, or 9.1%, QoQ and S/ 19.9 million, or 13.7%, YoY.

The quarterly and annual performances were mainly explained by increases of S/ 15.5 million and S/ 20.4 million in interest and similar income, respectively, mostly attributed to a higher return of the fixed income portfolio and to incremental dividends.

RECOVERY (LOSS) DUE TO IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

Recovery due to impairment of financial investments was S/ 13.9 million in 4Q20, compared to losses of S/ 2.5 million in 3Q20 and S/ 8.3 million in 4Q19.

The quarterly and annual performances were mainly due to a reversion of provision for impairment loss related to a fixed income investment that was downgraded in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak in 1Q20.

OTHER INCOME

Other income related to investments was S/ 50.3 million in 4Q20, a decrease of S/ 3.8 million QoQ, but an increase of S/ 7.9 million YoY.

The quarterly reduction was mainly due to decreases of S/ 11.9 million in valuation gain from investment property and S/ 4.5 million in net gain on sale of financial investments, partially offset by S/ 12.4 million growth in net gain on financial assets at fair value.

The annual increase was mainly explained by growth of S/ 18.1 million in net gain on financial assets at fair value and S/ 7.7 million in net gain on sale of financial investments, partially offset by decreases of S/ 16.3 million in valuation gain from investment property and S/ 2.2 million in rental income.

Total premiums earned minus claims and benefits were S/ -89.7 million in 4Q20, a decrease of S/ 26.4 million QoQ and S/ 15.3 million YoY.

The quarterly reduction was mainly due to the constitution of S/ 53.5 million of technical reserves in 4Q20, compared to a S/ 9.5 million release in 3Q20. This effect was partially offset by S/ 38.8 million growth in net premiums.

The annual performance was explained by S/ 33.4 million higher net claims and benefits incurred, partially offset by a S/ 13.8 million increase in net premiums and a S/ 4.4 million reduction in adjustment of technical reserves.

Net premiums were S/ 178.4 million in 4Q20, an increase of S/ 38.8 million, or 27.7%, QoQ and S/ 13.8 million, or 8.3%, YoY.

The quarterly result was due to growth of S/ 35.7 million in annuities and S/ 2.6 million in individual life. The higher annuities were a result of better market conditions, which drove premiums even above pre COVID-19 levels, while individual life premiums grew due to an improvement in the collection of premiums.

The annual performance in net premiums was mainly due to increases of S/ 14.8 million in annuities and S/ 3.2 million in individual life. These factors were partially offset by a S/ 4.4 million reduction in retail insurance premiums, explained by decreases in premiums related to credit life insurance and card protection insurance products.

Adjustment of technical reserves was S/ 53.5 million in 4Q20, compared to a S/ 9.5 million release in 3Q20 and a S/ 57.9 million requirement in 4Q19.

The quarterly performance was mainly explained by a base effect related to a S/ 22.4 million release in technical reserves for annuities in 3Q20 that became a S/ 34.1 million requirement in 4Q20 due to higher sales and a lower mortality rate.

The annual reduction in adjustment of technical reserves was mainly explained by a S/ 3.6 million higher release in retail insurance and a S/ 0.7 million decrease in technical reserves for annuities.

Net claims and benefits incurred reached S/ 214.5 million in 4Q20, an increase of S/ 2.1 million QoQ and S/ 33.4 million YoY.

The quarterly growth was mainly the result of an S/ 8.0 million increase in annuity benefits, partially offset by reductions of S/ 3.3 million in retail insurance, attributable to lower claims in credit life insurance, and S/ 2.4 million in individual life claims.

The annual performance in net claims and benefits incurred was explained by a S/ 22.4 million increase in retail insurance, mostly explained by higher claims in credit life insurance related to the COVID-19 mortality in Peru. Additionally, increases of S/ 9.8 million in annuity benefits and S/ 2.5 million in individual life claims also contributed to the YoY growth in net claims and benefits incurred.

Inteligo

SUMMARY

2020 Performance

Inteligo’s profits reached S/ 243.1 million in 2020, a S/ 42.8 million, or 21.4%, increase compared to the previous year. This result was mainly attributable to 82.4% growth in other income, mainly due to strong investment results for the year, partially offset by slightly higher other expenses.

On the commercial front, Inteligo’s prospection process showed good results in terms of new account openings and AUM growth both in Private Wealth Management and Mutual Funds. Accordingly, Inteligo’s AUM increased 14.7% in 2020.

Consequently, Inteligo’s ROAE was 28.0% in 2020, notably higher than the 24.7% reported in 2019.

Inteligo’s net interest and similar income was S/ 111.8 million in 2020, a S/ 5.3 million, or 4.9%, increase compared to 2019. This was mainly explained by incremental dividends received from investments during the year, partially offset by a compression of the net interest margin in the lending business.

Net fee income from financial services was S/ 164.0 million, stable on a YoY basis.

Other income from financial services was S/ 106.6 million, a S/ 48.2 million or 82.4% increase when compared to 2019, mainly attributable to positive mark-to-market valuations on investments.

Other expenses increased S/ 4.7 million, or 3.8% in 2020, mainly explained by incremental salaries and employee benefits, partially contained by expense reduction initiatives implemented following the COVID-19 pandemic breakout in March 2020.

4Q20 Performance

Inteligo’s net profit in 4Q20 was S/ 154.7 million, an increase of S/ 44.2 million QoQ and S/ 85.1 million YoY.

The main driver of the notably positive performance in 4Q20 was the contribution of other income, which accounted for extraordinarily strong gains for the period, mainly associated with positive mark-to-market conditions in Inteligo’s proprietary portfolio. Also in line with the positive portfolio performance, solid growth in net interest and similar income helped further the quarterly result.

From a business development perspective, Inteligo’s prospection process continued to show positive results in terms of new account openings and assets under management growth. Inteligo’s AUM grew 5.6% QoQ and 14.7% YoY as of December 31, 2020.

Consequently, Inteligo’s ROAE was 62.8% in 4Q20, higher than the 53.5% reported in 3Q20 and the 33.6% registered in 4Q19. Furthermore, the efficiency ratio remained at competitive levels.

Client deposits were S/ 2,855.5 million in 4Q20, a decrease of S/ 309.4 million or 9.8% QoQ, and S/ 23.0 million or 0.8% YoY. This was mainly related to clients’ higher liquidity needs after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inteligo’s net interest and similar income was S/ 40.4 million in 4Q20, a S/ 15.3 million, or 61.1% increase when compared with 3Q20. This was mainly explained by incremental dividends received from investments during the quarter.

Net interest and similar income increased S/ 15.7 million or 63.4% YoY, mainly explained by strong results in Inteligo’s investment portfolio and an increase in interest income generated by a higher average balance of fixed income investments for the period. Nonetheless, there was also an effect related to a net interest margin compression, associated with the lending business.

Net fee income from financial services was S/ 40.5 million in 4Q20, an increase of S/ 0.4 million, or 1.0% when compared to the previous quarter. Results were relatively stable following unchanged trading volumes and recurring fees from clients.

On a YoY basis, net fee income from financial services decreased S/ 6.5 million, or 13.9%, mainly explained by lower fund management fees due to the partial recomposition of client portfolios from mutual and private equity funds to other asset classes.

On a yearly basis, other expenses increased S/ 6.0 million, or 18.3% YoY, as a result of higher salaries and employee benefits, and administrative expenses. The lower depreciation and amortization for the period partially offset the annual increase in expenses.

(b)Global pandemic Covid-19 –

b.1)National State of Emergency

In December 2019, a new coronavirus strain (Covid-19) was identified in Wuhan, China; it was later declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, which has resulted in trade and circulation restrictions. In Peru, in March 2020, the Government declared a National State of Emergency ordering the closing of the borders, compulsory social confinement, the lockdown of businesses deemed non-essential (exceptions were production, distribution and commercialization of food and pharmaceuticals, financial services and healthcare), among others.

Subsequently, in May 2020, through Supreme Decree No. 080-2020, the government approved the gradual reopening of economic activities in order to mitigate the economic effects of the pandemic. The proposed reactivation would be in four phases based on the impact of each sector on the economy, being mining, construction, services and tourism and commerce the first ones to reopen, followed by manufacturing and agriculture. The fourth phase had considered the reopening of the entertainment sector with reduced capacity.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, due to the increase in the number of infections nationwide, through Supreme Decree No. 008-2021, dated January 27, 2021, the Peruvian Government extended the extension of the National State of Emergency until February 28, 2021 with measures targeted by region in the areas of health care and traffic restrictions.

b.2)Economic measures adopted by the Peruvian Government

Within this context, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (henceforth “MEF”), the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (henceforth “BCRP”) and the Superintendence of Banking and Insurance (henceforth “SBS”), activated extraordinary measures aimed to alleviate the financial and economic impact of Covid-19, in

The main measures implemented in the financial system are related to facilities for loan rescheduling (payment deferrals), suspension of counting of past due days, partial withdrawal of severance indemnities and launching of credit programs guaranteed by the Peruvian Government, such as “Reactiva Perú”, created through Legislative Decree No. 1455-2020 to secure the continuity of the payment chain in the face of Covid-19’s impact.

Said program grants guarantees to companies in order for them to obtain working capital loans and thus comply with their short-term obligations with their workers and suppliers of goods and services. This program manages guarantees amounting to S/30,000 million.

As of December 31, 2020, Interbank holds loans of the “Reactiva Perú” program for approximately S/6,616,518,000, out of which S/5,855,826,000 are covered by the Peruvian Government; see Notes 5 and 9.

b.3)Measures adopted by the Company and Subsidiaries

IFS’s Management monitors closely the situation and focuses in securing the operation and enhance the liquidity and solvency positions of the Subsidiaries. Regarding liquidity, Interbank has maintained an active participation in the BCRP’s daily operations and has used available credit lines from correspondent banks abroad. Likewise, with the purpose of strengthening its capital and regulatory capital requirements to face the volatile environment, the Subsidiaries implemented the following measures:

- In Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 3, 2020, Interbank approved the reduction in the percentage of distributable dividends, from 45 to 25 percent. In addition, the net profit generated in the first quarter of 2020 also has a capitalization agreement.

On July 18, 2019, IFS announced the placement of the Offering for approximately 9,000,000 common shares at a price of US$46.00 per common share.

2. Main accounting principles and practices

2.1Basis of presentation and use of estimates –

The interim consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the nine-months period ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

The interim  consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (henceforth “Annual Consolidated Financial Statements”).

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment property, derivative financial instruments, financial investments at fair value through profit or loss and through other comprehensive income, which have been measured at fair value. The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Soles, which is the functional currency of the Group, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (S/(000)), except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (henceforth “IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), requires Management to make estimations and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of significant events in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.

In that sense, the estimates and criteria are continually assessed and are based on historical experience, as well as other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to markets’ behavior or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates comprised in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are related to the calculation of the impairment of the portfolio of loan and financial investments, the measurement of the fair value of the financial investments and investment property, the assessment of the impairment of goodwill, the liabilities for insurance contracts and measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments; also, there are other estimates such as the estimated useful life of intangible assets, property, furniture and equipment, and the estimation of deferred Income Tax.

2.2Basis of consolidation –

The interim consolidated financial statements of IFS comprise the financial statements of Intercorp Financial Services Inc. and Subsidiaries. The method adopted by IFS to consolidate information with its Subsidiaries is described in Note 3.3 to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.3Regulations issued by the SBS –

As indicated in Note 1(b), with the purpose of facilitating the payment of debt of the clients of the financial entities affected by the outbreak of Covid-19, the SBS issued the following Multiple Official Letters:

2.3.1 Regulations related to loan portfolio

(a) Multiple Official Letters No.10997-2020-SBS, No.11150-2020-SBS, No.11170-2020-SBS and No.13195-2020-SBS issued on March 13, 2020, March 16, 2020, March 20, 2020, and May 19, 2020, respectively. Through these Multiple Official Letters, the SBS established the following exceptional measures applicable to loan portfolio, with the purpose of facilitating the debt payment of clients of the financial entities affected by the outbreak of covid-19.
- The financial system entities are enabled to modify the contractual conditions of loans without presenting them as refinanced provided that the entire term is not extended for more than six months from the original term. Also, debtors must have a maximum past due of 15 days as of February 29, 2020.
---
-In the case of loans to retail clients with modified contractual conditions, the associated interest can continue to be recognized on an accrual basis. However, if the debtor changes its situation to past due after the establishment of new loan terms, the financial entity must reverse the cumulative interest of said loan, proportionally, in a six-month period.
---
-For loans to non-retail clients with modified contractual conditions, the associated interest must be recognized by the cash flow method. Cumulative and not collected interest related to these loans must be reversed starting on the modification date, of the contractual conditions.
---
-For debtors with past due loans of more than 15 days as of February 29, 2020, the calculation of past due days will be suspended during the National lockdown.
---
-If a debtor presents past due payments after the contractual modifications, said loan will be deemed as refinanced loan, following the general criteria of the current regulation.
---
-According to Multiple Official Letter No.11150-2020-SBS, the scope of the aforementioned facilities shall be determined by each entity of the financial system, after analyzing the level of impact in their respective loan portfolio.
---
-Financial entities are able to record, as preventive and responsible manner, necessary voluntary provisions that allow them to deal with risk increasing in the loan portfolio, at the moment they materialize.
---
(b) Multiple Official Letter No.13805-2020-SBS, issued on May 29, 2020
--- ---

The main amendments to the existing regulations were the following:

(i) Financial entities can unilaterally reprogram loans until June 30, 2020, provided the compliance of certain criteria included in said Multiple Official Letter.
(ii) The loan rescheduling term ranges from 6 to 12 months with respect to the original term.
--- ---
(iii) For contractual modifications made since the date of the regulation, and only for purposes of the National lockdown, the debt shall be deemed as current if it is past due for a maximum of 30 calendar days.
--- ---
(iv) The suspension of counting of past due days, applicable to past due loans of more than 15 days as of February 29, 2020, shall be effective for the duration of the National lockdown, as well as the accounting situation of said loans. Also, in the case of loans that as of February 29, 2020, have been past due between 15 and 60 days, said suspension shall be effective until the end of the month following that of the lifting of the National lockdown.
--- ---
(c) Multiple Official Letter No. 15994-2020-SBS, issued on July 2, 2020
--- ---
The main clarifications to the existing regulations were the following:
---
(i) The suspension of counting of past-due days, applicable to loans with more than 15 calendar days past due, as of February 29, 2020, as well as the accounting situation of said loans, shall be maintained only until July 31, 2020.
--- ---
(ii) Regarding the report of the past-due days of loans that were subject to suspension of past-due days counting, at the closing of each month it must be reported the lowest number of past-due days resulting from the comparison between: (i) the actual past-due days of the loan at the closing of each reporting month; and (ii) the past-due days frozen as of February 29, 2020, plus the calendar days that have passed since August 1, 2020, until the closing of the reporting month.
--- ---
(iii) If as result of the enforcement of the provision in the previous paragraph the debtor improves its classification and, therefore, cuts down its provision requirements, the released provisions must be reassigned to the constitution of other mandatory provisions or, otherwise, as voluntary provisions.
--- ---

In application of the regulations issued by the SBS and summarized in previous paragraphs, Interbank has reprogramed loans for approximately S/10,489 million and has modified their respective payment schedules. Thus, the present value of the loans has decreased by S/134 million, which are presented by reducing the interest income of the loan portfolio; see Note 14.

2.3.2 Resolution No.1264-2020-SBS, issued on March 26, 2020

This Resolution establishes that in the modifications of the contractual conditions indicated in the Multiple Official Letters mentioned in Note 2.3.1, it shall not increase the regulatory capital requirement for the non-revolving consumer loans and mortgage loans. Likewise, said Resolution authorizes the financial entities to use the additional regulatory capital for the component of the economic cycle.

2.3.3 Repurchase agreements of loan portfolio represented by securities

On April 3, 2020, the BCRP issued the Circular Letter No.0014-2020-BCRP, which establishes the characteristics and procedures of the repurchase agreements of loan portfolio guaranteed by the Peruvian Government. At the selling date, the bank receives the domestic currency (sale amount) and, at the same operation, is obliged to repurchase said portfolio (repurchase amount). The BCRP shall disburse 80 percent of the funds in the bank’s current account it holds at the BCRP and the remaining part in a restricted account also held by the bank at the BCRP.

2.4Reclassifications on financial statements as of December 31, 2019 –

In 2020, following an analysis on the nature of the products “Renta Particular Plus” and “Renta Particular Plus - Vitalicio”, the Company’s Management decided to perform some accounting reclassifications with the purpose of better reflecting the characteristics of said products. In the case of the product “Renta Particular Plus”, whose majority of contracts (policies) have an important financial component, it decided to record them as financial products, with the exception of the product “Renta Particular Plus - Vitalicio”, which has a significant insurance component and, therefore, is presented as insurance product according to IFRS 4.

In this sense, the balances were reclassified from “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities” into the caption “Insurance contracts liabilities” of the consolidated statement of financial position, and from the captions “Net premiums earned” and “Net claims incurred for life insurance and others” into the caption “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income. Likewise, with the purpose of making comparable the consolidated financial statements, the balances of previous periods were modified, as presented below:

Safra Sarasin for S/83,283,000 and S/76,222,000, respectively; see Note 9(a).
(b.1) The Group has determined that the unrealized losses on debt instruments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, not related to credit risk, are of temporary nature.

(*) As of of December 31, 2020, mainly includes impairment allocated to Rutas de Lima for approximately S/33,188,000.
--- ---
(c) As of December 31, 2020, investments at amortized cost are comprised of Sovereign Bonds of the Republic of Peru issued in Soles, for an amount of S/2,707,298,000, including accrued interest (as of December 31, 2019 are entirely comprised of Sovereign Bonds of the Republic of Peru issued in Soles, for an amount of S/2,206,986,000, including accrued interest).
--- ---

As of December 31, 2020, the Sovereign Bonds of the Republic of Peru have maturity dates that range from September 2023 to August 2037, have accrued interest at effective annual rates ranging from 4.29 percent and 5.15 percent (as of December 31, 2019, these investments have maturity dates that range from September 2023 to August 2037, have accrued interest at effective annual rates ranging from 4.29 percent and 6.26 percent), and estimated fair value amounting to approximately S/2,988,539,000 and S/2,328,303,000, as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

During the year 2019, the Government of the Republic of Peru performed a public offering to buyback certain sovereign bonds, with the purpose of renewing its debt and funding its fiscal deficit. Considering the purpose of this offering, following such offering, there would be no outstanding sovereign bonds of the repurchased issuances.  In the event that some bonds remained outstanding, they would become illiquid on the market. In that sense, Interbank took part of these public offerings and sold to the Government of the Republic of Peru sovereign bonds classified as investments at amortized cost for approximately S/340,518,000, generating a gain amounting to S/8,474,000, which was recorded within the caption “Gain from derecognition of financial investments at amortized cost” of the interim consolidated statement of income. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, with the purpose of maintaining its asset management strategy, the Bank purchased simultaneously other sovereign bonds of the Republic of Peru for approximately S/340,432,000, and classified them as investments at amortized cost. In Management’s opinion and pursuant to IFRS 9, said transaction is congruent with the Group’s business model because although said sales were significant, they were infrequent and were performed with the sole purpose of facilitating the debt renewal and the funding of the fiscal deficit of the Republic of Peru.

As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, Interbank hold loans with the BCRP that are guaranteed with these sovereign bonds of the Republic of Peru, classified as restricted, for approximately S/1,071,740,000 and S/762,347,000, respectively; see Note 9(a).

(f) The Group rates its financial assets into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3, as described below:
--- ---

Stage 1: When the financial assets are first recognized, the Group recognizes an allowance based on 12 months ECLs. Stage 1 also includes financial assets whose credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2.

Stage 2: When a financial asset has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Group records an allowance for the lifetime ECLs. Stage 2 also includes financial assets whose credit risk has improved and the financial asset has been reclassified from Stage 3.

Stage 3: Financial assets considered credit -impaired. The Group records an allowance for the lifetime financial asset.

For more information, see Note 30.1 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

12. Net equity
--- ---
(a) Capital stock and distribution of dividends -
--- ---

IFS’s shares are listed on the Lima Stock Exchange and, since July 2019, they are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. IFS’s shares have no nominal value and their issuance value was US$9.72 per share. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, IFS’s capital stock is represented by 115,447,705 subscribed and paid-in common shares.

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of IFS held on April 7, 2020, agreed to distribute dividends for the year 2019 for approximately US$202,033,000 (equivalent to approximately S/698,228,000), equivalent to US$1.75 per share, which were paid on May 6, 2020.

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of IFS held on April 1, 2019, agreed to distribute dividends for the year 2018 for approximately US$197,187,000 (equivalent to approximately S/654,464,000), equivalent to US$1.75 per share, which were paid on May 3, 2019.

(b)     Treasury stock -

As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company and subsidiaries hold 24,824 and 1,400 shares of own issue, with an acquisition cost equivalent to S/2,769,000 and S/196,000, respectively.

Sale of treasury stock (2019)

As indicated in Note 1(c), in July 2019, Interbank and IFS sold a combined 2,418,754 shares. Said sale was recorded by decreasing the caption “Treasury stock” for an amount of S/208,178,000, and the highest value collected due to said sale amounted to S/138,997,000 and was recorded in the caption “Retained earnings”.

(c)  Capital surplus -

Corresponds to the difference between the nominal value of the shares issued and their public offerings price, which were performed in 2007 and 2019; see Note 1(c). Capital surplus is presented net of the expenses incurred and related to the issuance of such shares.

(d)  Reserves -

The Board of Directors of IFS held on April 22, 2020, agreed to constitute reserves for S/500,000,000 charged to retained earnings.

(e) Shareholders’ equity for legal purposes (regulatory capital) -

IFS is not required to establish a regulatory capital for statutory purposes. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the regulatory capital required for Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank (a Subsidiary of Inteligo Group Corp.), is calculated based on the separate financial statements of each Subsidiary prepared following the accounting principles and practices stated by their regulators (the SBS or Central Bank of the Bahamas, in the case of Inteligo Bank).

In Management’s opinion, Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank have been fulfilling the current requirements established by their regulators.

13. Tax situation
(a) IFS and its Subsidiaries incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of Panama and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, are not subject to Income Tax, or any other taxes on capital gains, equity or property; nevertheless, IFS is subject to an additional tax on dividends received from its Subsidiaries incorporated and domiciled in Peru; see paragraph (b). The Subsidiaries incorporated and domiciled in Peru are subject to the Peruvian Tax legislation; see paragraph (c).
--- ---
(b) Legal entities or individuals not domiciled in Peru are subject to an additional tax (equivalent to 5 percent) on dividends received from entities domiciled in Peru. The corresponding tax is withheld by the entity that distributes the dividends.
--- ---
In this regard, since IFS controls the entities that distribute the dividends, it recognizes the amount of the additional Income Tax on dividends received as expense of the financial year of the dividends.
---
(c) IFS’s Subsidiaries incorporated in Peru are subject to the payment of Peruvian taxes; hence, they must calculate their tax expenses on the basis of their separate financial statements. The Income Tax rate as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, was 29.5 percent, over the taxable income.
--- ---
(d) The Tax Authority (henceforth “SUNAT”, by its Spanish acronym) is legally entitled to perform tax audit procedures for up to four years subsequent to the date at which the tax return regarding a taxable period must be filed.  The Income Tax and the Value-Added-Tax returns subject to inspection by the Tax Authority in each of the Subsidiaries, are the following:
--- ---
  • Interbank: Income Tax returns for the years 2014 to 2019, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2016 to 2019.
- Interseguro: Income Tax returns for the years 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2014 to 2019.
- Hipotecaria Sura and Seguros Sura: Income Tax returns for the years 2014 to 2018, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2014 to 2018.
--- ---

Given the possible interpretations that SUNAT may give to the legislation in effect, up to date it is not possible to determine whether or not any review to be conducted would result in liabilities for the Subsidiaries; any increased tax or surcharge that could arise from possible tax audits would be applied to the results of the period in which such tax increase or surcharge may be determined.

Following is the detail of the ongoing tax procedures for the Subsidiaries:

Interbank:

In April 2004, June 2006, February 2007, June 2007, November 2007, October 2008 and December 2010, Interbank received a number of Tax Determination and Tax Penalty notices corresponding mainly to the Income Tax determination for the fiscal years 2000 to 2006. As a result, claims and appeals were filed and subsequent contentious administrative proceedings were started, with the exception of Income Tax 2006, which is still pending in the Tax Court.

Regarding the tax litigations followed by Interbank related to the annual Income Tax returns for the years 2000 to 2006, the most relevant matter subject to discrepancy with SUNAT corresponds to whether the “interest in suspense” are subject to Income Tax or not. In this sense, the Bank considers that the interest in suspense do not constitute accrued income, in accordance with the SBS’s regulations, which is also supported by rulings by the Permanent Constitutional and Social Law Chamber of the Supreme Court issued in August 2009 and a recent pronouncement in June 2019.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in February 2018, the Third Transitory Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court issued a ruling regarding a third bank that impacted the original estimation regarding the degree of contingency for this discrepancy. Subsequently, in June 2019, the Permanent Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court, in a case followed with another financial entity, ruled in favor of the tax treatment over the interest in suspense followed by said entity; which is consistent with the tax treatment followed by Interbank. On July 6, 2020 and December 28, 2020, the Permanent Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court notified Interbank its ruling regarding Income Tax for the year 2003 and prepaid Income Tax 2003, declaring groundless the cassation appeals filed by SUNAT and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (“MEF”, by its Spanish acronym), thus reaffirming the position held by Interbank regarding that interest in suspense does not constitute taxable income.

From the tax and legal analysis performed, reinforced by the aforementioned recent ruling by the Permanent Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court, Interbank’s Management and its external legal advisors consider that it exists sufficient technical support for the prevalence of Interbank’s position, in relation with the tax periods under resolution process; thus, it has not been recorded any provision for this contingency as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The tax liability requested for this concept and other minor contingencies as of December 31, 2020, without considering the effects of the ruling by the Permanent Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court published on

March 12, 2020, amounted to approximately S/382,000,000, and includes tax, fines and interest arrears (as of December 31, 2019 amounted to approximately S/303,000,000). However, it is estimated that once SUNAT performs the resettlements of the Income Tax, including the effects of said ruling, the requested amount will diminish significantly.

On the other hand, on February 3, 2017, SUNAT closed the audit process corresponding to the Income Tax for the year 2010. Interbank paid the debt under protest and filed a claim procedure. Subsequently, on November 6, 2018, SUNAT closed again the audit process corresponding to the Income Tax 2010, which had been reopened due to invalidity; Interbank filed a claim procedure and afterwards a tax appeal. Currently, the appeal is pending resolution by the Tax Court.

On February 14, 2018, SUNAT notified Interbank of the beginning of the partial audit process for the third category Income Tax corresponding to the year 2014. Subsequently, on September 7, 2018, SUNAT closed said partial audit process and did not determine any additional settlement of said tax.

On January 14, 2019, Interbank was notified of the Determination and Penalty Resolutions corresponding to the audit of the Income Tax for the fiscal year 2013. The tax debt requested by SUNAT amounts to approximately S/50,000,000 (including taxes, penalties and moratorium interest). The main concept observed was the deduction of loan write-offs without proof by the SBS. As of December 31, 2020, the tax liability requested for this concept and other minor contingencies amounted to approximately S/40,000,000 (as of December 31, 2019, amounted to S/39,000,000).

To date, Interbank’s Management has submitted the respective complaints to the resolutions indicated above. In the opinion of Management and its legal advisors, any eventual additional tax would not be significant for the financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

On April 26, 2019, SUNAT notified Interbank about the commencement of the definitive audit process on Income Tax withholdings of non-domiciled entities corresponding to the year 2018. To date, said audit is under process.

On July 31, 2020, Interbank was notified of the Determination and Penalty Resolutions corresponding to the audit of the Income Tax for the fiscal year 2012. The tax debt requested by SUNAT amounts to approximately S/13,000,000.

Lastly, to date, SUNAT is auditing Interbank’s 2014 and 2015 taxable periods. In the opinion of Management and its legal advisors, any eventual additional tax settlement would not be significant for the financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Interseguro:

On January 4, 2019, Interseguro was notified through a Tax Determination notice about the partial audit of the Income Tax for non-domiciled entities for Sura corresponding to January 2015. The tax debt requested by SUNAT amounts to approximately S/19,000,000. On January 30, 2019, the Company filed an appeal against the Resolution of Determination claimed by SUNAT. Considering that this debt corresponds to a period prior to the acquisition of Seguros Sura by the Group and according to the conditions of the purchase and sale agreement of this entity, this debt, if confirmed after the legal actions that Management is to file, would be assumed by the sellers. On November 12, 2020, the Tax Court gave a favorable opinion to Interseguro, thus revoking the Resolution of Determination issued by SUNAT. Interseguro is in waiting of the corresponding deadline in order to be noticed whether SUNAT would appeal the Tax Court’s resolution.

In the opinion of Management and its legal advisors, any eventual additional tax settlement would not be significant for the financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of IFS is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Group presents three operating segments based on products and services, as follows:

Banking

Mainly loans, credit facilities, deposits and current accounts.

Insurance

It provides annuities and conventional life insurance products, as well as other retail insurance products.

Wealth management

It provides brokerage and investment management services. Inteligo serves mainly Peruvian citizens.

The operating segments monitor the operating results of their business units separately for the purpose of making decisions on the distribution of resources and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and it is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the interim consolidated financial statements.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

The following table presents the Group’s financial information by business segments for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

22. Financial risk management
--- ---

It comprises the management of the main risks, that due to the nature of their operations, IFS and its Subsidiaries are exposed to; and correspond to: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, insurance risk and real estate risk.

In order to manage this risk, every Subsidiary of the Group has a specialized structure and organization in their management, measurement systems, mitigation and coverage processes that considers the specific needs and regulatory requirements to develop its business. The Group and its Subsidiaries, mainly Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank, operate independently but in coordination with the general provisions issued by the Board of Directors and the Management of IFS.

A full description of the Group’s financial risk management is presented in Note 30 “Financial risk management” of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements; following is presented the financial information related to credit risk management for the loan portfolio, offsetting of financial assets and liabilities, and foreign exchange risk.

(a) Credit risk management for loans

Interbank’s loan portfolio is segmented into homogeneous groups that shared similar credit risk characteristics. These groups are: (i) Retail Banking (credit card, mortgage, payroll loan, consumer loan and vehicular loan), (ii) Small Business Banking (segments S1, S2 and S3), and (iii) Commercial Banking (corporate, institutional, companies and real estate). In addition, at Inteligo Bank, the internal model developed (scorecard) assigns 5 levels of credit risk classified as follows: low risk, medium low risk, medium risk, medium high risk, and high risk. These categories are described in Note 30.1(d) of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

The information that shows the credit quality and maximum exposure to credit risk of direct loans based on the Group's internal credit rating as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, are presented in Note 5.

(b) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The information contained in the tables below includes financial assets and liabilities that.

-Are offset in the statement of financial position of the Group; or

- Are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar financial instruments, regardless of whether they are offset in the interim consolidated statement of financial position or not.

Similar arrangements of the Group include derivatives clearing agreements. Financial instruments such as loans and deposits are not disclosed in the following tables since they are not offset in the interim consolidated statement of financial position.

The offsetting framework agreement issued by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. (“ISDA”) and similar master netting arrangements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position, because of such agreements were created in order for both parties to have an enforceable offsetting right in cases of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparties or following other predetermined events. In addition, the Group and its counterparties do not intend to settle such instruments on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

The Group receives and delivers guarantees in the form of cash with respect to transactions with derivatives; see Note 3.

(b.1) Financial assets and liabilities subject to offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, is presented below:

The methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values depend on the terms and risk characteristics of each financial instrument and they include the following:

(i) Long- term fixed-rate and variable-rate loans are assessed by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the estimated losses of these loans. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the book value of loans, net of allowances, was not significantly different from the calculated fair values.
(ii) Instruments whose fair value approximates their book value: For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or have short-term maturity (less than 3 months) it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate to their fair values. This assumption is also applied to demand deposits, savings accounts without a specific maturity and variable-rate financial instruments.

(iii) Fixed- rate financial instruments: The fair value of fixed-rate financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost is determined by comparing market interest rates when they were first recognized with current market rates related to similar financial instruments for their remaining term to maturity. The fair value of fixed interest rate deposits is based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates for financial instruments with similar credit risk and maturity. For quoted debt issued, the fair value is determined based on quoted market prices. When quotations are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on the yield curve of the appropriate interest rate for the remaining term to maturity.

24. Fiduciary activities and management of funds
--- ---

The Group provides custody, trustee, investment management and advisory services to third parties; therefore, the Group makes purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. Assets that are held in trust are not included in the interim consolidated financial statements. These services give rise to the risk that the Group could eventually be held responsible of yield of the assets under its management.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the value of the managed off-balance sheet financial assets is as follows:

31.12.2020 31.12.2019
S/(000) S/(000)
Investment funds 15,008,109 13,243,888
Mutual funds 5,980,724 5,049,034
