Itau Unibanco’s net income was
R$5.0 billion in the third quarter of 2020, up 19.6% from the three previous months
Business recovery, lower provisioning level and strategic cost management
all contributed to earnings in the third quarter of 2020
“The better results in this quarter reflect a slight recovery of the economic activity, whereas
provisioning is still required to face possible higher delinquency rates in the future. This scenario may be alleviated if market agents are sure that government is able to stabilize the fiscal situation.”
Candido Bracher
Itau Unibanco’s CEO
Sao Paulo, November 3, 2020 – In the third quarter of 2020, Itau Unibanco’s recurring net income totaled R$5.0 billion, up 19.6% from the previous quarter, with ROE of
15.7%. This result reflects the significant recovery of some business lines, such as real estate and vehicles, in addition to increased income from commissions and fees and revenues from insurance operations, against the backdrop of prospective
resumption of the economic activity and capital markets. Growth in the period was also boosted by loan portfolio increase, lower provisioning level and disciplined cost management, in spite of the decrease in the financial margin driven by higher
use of personalized credit in response to the crisis. Recurring net income went down 29.7% on a year-on-year basis.
Total loan portfolio¹ was up 20.4% in 12
months, reaching R$847.0 billion in September 2020, with improved performance of loan portfolios for individuals and very small, small and middle-market companies, which increased 3.9% and 14.0%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2020. In
loan portfolio for individuals, on the same comparison basis, the highlights are increases in mortgage loans (5.1%), vehicles (10.4%) and credit card (6.4%).

Provision for loan losses decreased 16.2% from the second quarter of 2020, totaling R$6.3 billion, driven by the reduced need for a provision for losses in the quarter, which
was R$51.1 billion.
The 90-day NPL ratio, in turn, reached 2.2%, reduction of 50 basis points from the previous
quarter.
As a result of the economic recovery and higher levels of capital market activity, income from commissions and fees and revenues from insurance
operations2 were up 12.0% from the second quarter of 2020, fostered by increased investment banking operations and growth in revenues from credit and debit cards, both for issuing and acquiring activities.

“This quarter posted a significant
resumption of the economic activity. For our business, this was translated into a significant growth in commissions and fees and credit granting for individuals and small companies, and the latter were still benefited from government-backed credit
lines.”
Milton Maluhy
Itau Unibanco’s Executive Vice
President, CFO and CRO
Non-interest expenses reached R$12.7 billion in the third quarter of
2020, an increase of 4.7% from the previous quarter, driven by the impact of the collective bargaining agreement and higher variable costs arising from the resumption of the economic activity. Additionally, non-interest expenses in Latin America
increased driven by foreign exchange variation. Efficiency ratio decreased 100 basis points in the year-to-date, reflecting productivity gains arising from continuous technology investments.
On September 30, 2020, Common Equity Tier I (Basel III) reached 12.4% from 12.1% in the immediately preceding period, which increasingly strengthens our capacity of absorbing
possible losses in a crisis scenario.
Client support – Itau Unibanco continues focused on supporting clients and mitigating the effects of the COVID-19
related crisis in their respective business. Accordingly, the balance of loan portfolio reprofiled for individuals and very small and small companies totaled R$53.5 billion on September 30, of which R$39.8 billion was allocated to individuals and
R$13.7 billion to very small and small companies.
Additionally, through fully online contracting processes, Itau Unibanco has already allocated R$18.0 billion in
government programs. In the third and second quarters of 2020, R$16.4 billion and R$1.6 billion, respectively, were disbursed through the National Support Program for Very Small and Small Companies (Pronampe), financing the payrolls of companies and
other government credit lines, such as the Investment Guarantee Fund (FGI) and Working Capital for Business Continuity Program (CGPE).
Through business
digitalization, Itau Unibanco reached 23.7 million digital clients (app and internet) at the end of the third quarter, up 16.2% compared to the same period of the previous year. Online account opening (individual and companies) grew 87.1% on a
year-on-year basis.
Another important hallmark in the quarter was the recognition of Itau Unibanco, for the first time ever, as the most valuable brand in Brazil
in 2020 according to the Brandz Brasil ranking developed by Kantar, a company specialized in surveys and consulting services, in partnership with the WPP group. This recognition is added to that by Interbrand, by which the bank has been deemed as
the most valuable brand in Brazil for over ten years, and to the recognition by Folha Top of Mind. Accordingly, for the first time, Itau Unibanco ranks first in Brazil’s three main brand rankings.
